In the East China Sea, Shamen guards the place of thousands of households, and the place of hundreds of households in Tuoji.
"The most important thing for a leader is manpower. If there are enough manpower, we will be confident to shorten the construction period by half! After all, the main body of Tuoji Hundred Household Office is the town center, so as long as the town center can be built as soon as possible, then we can expand to the outside world. Part of it can be completed in the shortest time, and the former has obviously been realized by your way of turning the imaginary into reality. Therefore, as long as the head of the family can allocate a group of manpower as soon as possible, we will start work day and night, working in turns, and build the wall in the civilian area. , turrets, and even housing can be completed in a month or even less! By then, our small city of 100 households will be able to accommodate more new immigrants..."
Leading Kang Lin into the small square inside the town center, the chief manager Liu Laoliu continued to talk. According to him, if you walk a few dozen steps north from here, you will reach the real core of the entire fleet, Baidu. Hu Guan Tang! And this three-story hundred-household official hall is obviously different from any Ming Dynasty building of the same era. It is simply like a smaller version of the town center. It is also surrounded by walls and protected by turrets. Kang Lin and his officers and staff The team can stay here and command other flag forces to produce, live and even fight! The square shape allows this building to accommodate more rooms, making Kanglin feel like staying here in a domestic tube building at the end of the 20th century. At the same time, the defense of this thing is also good, with many rooms on the second to third floors. With large and small embrasures and gun holes, as long as there are enough manpower, the so-called hundred-household official hall can be transformed into a powerful bunker in an instant. If enough food and drinking water are stocked, there will be thousands of elite officers and soldiers. It would take a year and a half to win the pirates, not to mention that Conlin also drew an upgrade blueprint. After using it, you can get a useful upgrade option. A strong castle can enhance the overall defense of the building. With With this blessing, Kang Lin is more confident in his new residence!
"Master, the first floor is where your soldiers will be stationed. I checked it out. There are about twenty or thirty rooms, which should be able to accommodate all your soldiers. Of course, we also have some less important bulky supplies. It can be stacked here. The second floor is a warehouse. We can use it to store food, gold, silver, weapons and ammunition. It is ventilated and the terrain is very high. As long as rats are prevented from eating, basically food and materials can be stored for a long time. Time. Next, the third floor is our office room, conference room and even residence. It is condescending, the air is fresh, and the living conditions are much better than the bamboo and wooden boat-shaped house below. The key is to tidy up a little during the war. We have a ready-made combat platform. As long as we hoist the artillery, anyone who attacks our residence in the future will be attacked by our artillery from above! Okay, as the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, let’s go and take a look now. Let's go to our own signature rooms..."
Looking at the new 100-house official hall with three floors, high, middle and low, which is ten meters high in front of him, Chief Kang Lin Kang Da managed to hold back the smile on his face. Next, he followed Liu Laoliu slowly up the wooden stairs to the third floor. It was very large and spacious. In addition to a large room of three meters by eight meters in the southeast, northwest and northwest directions, In addition to the chief's signing room, the general manager's signing room, the conference room and the staff room, there are two or three three-meter by three-meter rooms next to them for other functional departments to use. Although they are still empty at this time, When Chiyang's force develops to a certain scale, more personnel will gradually come in. At that time, the entire third floor will become Chiyang's command center, and any effective order will be conveyed through here, and all the scouts will collect The news will also be concentrated and handed over to these people for processing!
Without further ado, let’s turn our attention back to Kang Lin and his party! After reaching the third floor of the newly built official hall, the soldiers stopped following them. They jogged to stand guard at the door of each room, and the stairwell and the platform above the third floor were their focus! Soon, a large number of heavily armed Guards soldiers walked up the wooden stairs to the top of the entire official hall and began to guard and defend. They would then use simple cranes to move the four-door Folan machine and the four-door Ye Gongshen gunxuan. The cannons were hoisted to the top floor for installation. Once these artillery pieces were installed, the entire Baihu Guantang Hall would instantly transform into a gun tower with fierce firepower. Not to mention ordinary pirates and bandits, Jian Lai, the economic official of the Ming Dynasty, would There are tens of thousands of people there, and they probably can’t even touch the edges! What's more, there are some experienced battlefield veterans in Chiyang, so the Guards are even more comfortable in arranging defenses!
"Master, come on, come on, this is the pledge room that the old man has prepared for you. It faces south and is well ventilated. If you open the front and rear windows, you can have a panoramic view of everything in the city. In addition, the furnishings inside are all closely arranged. Okay, come on, I sent a special person to Dengzhou to buy the art, calligraphy and painting, and the incense burner utensils. The head of the house is satisfied. This means that the head of the house has come back in a hurry. The old man has not had time to clean it carefully. Otherwise, I will change it to a small one now. How about the servants come over and clean up? The head of the house can now go to the patio on the first floor to have some wine and food with the brothers. After the cleaning is completed and the dust is washed away by taking a shower, we can go to the signing room to drink tea and talk. how?"
Seeing Kang Lin nodding while looking at the majestic Hundred Household Hall, Liu Laoliu followed the former with his hands behind his back and carefully introduced the furnishings and arrangements. However, just when Kang Lin was about to push away his signature room, But this man took a step forward gently, stretched out his hand to stop his leader's subsequent actions, and politely asked him to go to the patio on the first floor to eat first. After eating and drinking, he took a hot bath before entering the signing room to discuss matters. , and although the former didn't understand what kind of medicine the old man was selling in his gourd, for the sake of face, he still took Luo Daluo Er downstairs and came to the patio on the first floor to prepare for dinner!
There is really a deep sweet well in the patio on the first floor! At this time, four Eight Immortals tables had been set up next to the well railing, and they were filled with steaming meals. The meat dishes were stewed fish with soybeans, lobster, blue leg crabs, and fried eels. The vegetarian dishes were cold kelp, sea grapes with garlic paste, and stir-fried Chinese cabbage, meaty radish, and the soup is a little more luxurious, which is winter melon and pork ribs soup. The former is an ingredient that can be obtained on the island, so it is nothing. The latter is not produced locally, but it costs hundreds of dollars from Dengzhou City. It was transported over the Caspian Sea Road, so it is particularly precious!
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start eating. Luo Da, go see why Uncle Six doesn't come down. If he doesn't come down, Wu Fang will eat all the ribs. Hahaha..." Seeing that the left-behind officers, stewards, and staff were all here, Kang Lin called to the old lock ship's steward Wu Fang to sit down with him and start enjoying the carefully cooked food in front of him! During this period, others just raised their chopsticks to eat a few mouthfuls of food, raised their glasses and drank a few sips of wine, and then waited there with their hands tied. Only Kang Lin and Wu Fang enjoyed the delicious food and wine. They had been floating on the sea for a long time, so they couldn't see the fine wine, cooked food, or fresh fruits and vegetables, so they left the other dishes untouched. You two had a chopstick, and I had a chopstick, and quickly fried the Chinese cabbage on the table. All the meaty radish was eaten. After having some dishes to fill their stomachs, the two of them exchanged cups with other colleagues and subordinates. It was not until both parties let out a long belch that Kang Lin realized that the old man was not at the table, so he sent his own soldier Luo Da Go look for it. Today's meal is both a celebration banquet and a welcome banquet. How can we miss the key figure Liu Laoliu?
"Master, please slow down, old man. Please forgive me. Everyone, I am satisfied with the food. If you are satisfied, please use more!" However, Luo Daxin reluctantly put down a piece of ribs in his hand and prepared to get up and follow the order to find Liu. When he was the sixth child, the latter had already arrived at the wine table accompanied by Yang Jiu. Next, the Chief Steward of Chiyang bowed to everyone present, apologized, and then sat down in Kangxi. Next to Lin, he poured a glass of Jiannan Shaochun for the latter very attentively.
"Uncle Liu, why are you so late? Let's have a full drink of this cup and let's discuss it again..." Seeing Liu Laoliu coming, the leader of Kangda, who was already a little tipsy, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and in turn gave The old man poured a full glass of Jiannan Shaochun and raised his own glass to have a drink with the former. After all, Liu Laoliu was to him what Xiao He was to Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and Li Shanchang was to Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. They were both existences that needed efforts to win over, so this guy pretended to be unhappy and asked Liu Laoliu to be more relaxed and drink the fine wine in the cup. Let’s talk about other things later.
"Chief, Uncle Liu is a little old, so don't try to make him happy! How about letting your subordinates drink this glass of wine for him?" Seeing that Liu Laoliu was still seriously injured and was walking a little staggeringly, Kang Lin's Intimate Douban Wu Fang immediately stood up and wanted to block the wave of alcohol attacks for the former. However, Liu Laoliu, who has been sailing for half his life, has never been less heroic than others. How could he let others take the place of drinking two glasses of water, so he listened to this The old guy smiled heartily, and after sitting down, he raised the white porcelain wine glass and drank the sweet wine in one sip!
"Okay, Uncle Liu is so brave. Kang admires it. Come on, come on, and use some dishes. Don't drink and drink without eating. It's not good for your stomach..." Kang Lin saw Liu Laoliu being so happy, and his face immediately surged with emotion. Put on a bright smile. Next, the chopsticks flew around and put a lot of dishes on the plate in front of Liu Laoliu. He knew in his heart that the old man had definitely encountered something unspeakable, otherwise he would not have behaved like this, and now he wanted to use gentle words to ease the latter's doubts so that he would not have to worry. , and told all the troubles.
"Master, have you finished the food and wine? If so, let's go to the check-in room and have a detailed discussion! Just in time, the old man has ordered someone to clean your room. Let's go there and get some tea. I'll leave it to Erlang. Let’s have some fun! Uncle Six is getting older, and drinking wine is not as good as before. My boss, I’ll forgive you, my boss, I’ll forgive you…”
