Tuoji Baihu Office, the third floor of Baihu Official Hall.
Kang Lin was standing next to the wooden window with his hands behind his hands, a hardwood pipe in his mouth, and looking into the distance through the window with a leisurely expression. One of the benefits after time travel, his clairvoyance skills made his eyes better than before. There were too many, and coupled with the condescending position, large tracts of beautiful scenery soon jumped into his eyes! To the east and west of Baihusuo are residential areas under construction, and a large number of new immigrants will live here in the future. To the north of Baihusuo is the militia training center. This time Kang Lin led the army to go to Korea, and Liu Laoliu and other left-behind committee members were there. A lookout tower was added here, and two regular flag troops, one Folangji, and twelve reserve troops were stationed to defend against possible dangers to the north of Baihusuo.
During this period of time, there were always some unidentified ships and personnel spying on the island. Therefore, Liu Laoliu sent a team of craftsmen, young and strong new immigrants, to build a rammed earth sentry tower based on the mountains, that is, It was used to prevent small groups of pirates and bandits from invading, and it was also responsible for opening some terraced fields there for farming, not to grow food, but to grow vegetables. The cabbage, radish, and cabbage seeds that Kanglin had previously cultivated were grown by the hard-working new immigrants. They were carefully planted in the newly opened moist land, and within a few days, green seedling tips appeared. The growth bonus characteristics granted by the system made these vegetables grow very gratifyingly, and a sharp-eyed Kang could even see them. That touch of mouth-watering green! This is extremely rare on a barren and barren island. You should know that it is impossible to grow vegetables on ordinary islands. Fortunately, there is a natural pond in Houtou Bay. The sufficient fresh water provides the basis for the survival of plants. Therefore, the delicious dish of stir-fried cabbage is added to Chiyang’s dining table!
The area southeast of Baihusuo near Bawang Mountain was opened up into large warehouses and cargo yards by the hard-working young immigrants. Chiyang had plundered a lot of materials from Goryeo this time, and there were a large number of young people at this time. The strong men carried carts to transport the grain there. They had to transport the precious grain to the warehouse for storage as soon as possible. Otherwise, given the humidity on the island, the grain would soon become moldy and unusable!
As for the southwest and northwest sides of Baihusuo, there are two systematic buildings. There is a logging camp, a lumber yard, and one or two long wooden houses. Kang Lin, who has good eyesight, can even pass through the yellow The copper monocular telescope could clearly see that logging was taking place there, and the new immigrants were being transported. Although the freshly cut trees could not be directly used for house repairs and shipbuilding, the Chiyang high-level officials were planning to build a small brick kiln near this place, which would be staffed by two climbers. The master invited by the state and twenty or thirty apprentices tried to bake bricks, and the waste gas and waste heat produced when burning bricks could be used to dry the wood.
To be honest, this kind of non-natural shade-dried wood is definitely not comparable to naturally shade-dried wood, but it is better in that it is faster. Natural shade-drying takes two to three years. It can be dried using the heat generated when burning bricks, but it only takes It only takes a few days or even ten days for the wood to dry out. Although the wood produced is still unable to be used for shipbuilding, there is no problem in building houses. The vegetation coverage rate on Tuojimoto Island is very high, so cutting down The wood is enough to last Chi Yang for a long time. Therefore, Chiyang executives suddenly built two logging camps in Songshu Mountain and Nanling areas!
Of course, Kang Lin would not do that thing of killing chickens to obtain eggs and drying up the lake for fishing. After cutting down the big trees, he would also have people replant seedlings. Although currently, black pine, red locust, oak, and red pine are widely spread on Tuoji Island. , Mongolian oak, white elm and other trees, but the Chiyang executives do not want to cut down all the trees without limit and leave a devastated island to their descendants. On the contrary, they want sustainable development and recycling of these gifts from nature. treasure. Therefore, when the loggers knock down a century-old tree, they will replant a sapling in the hole! In this way, the ecological environment of Tuoji will not be too damaged, and outsiders such as Kang Lin will not open the windows and see the large and small potholes all over the mountains and plains, as well as the desolate scenery. Earthy!
Finally, Kang Lin's eyes stopped at the southeast of Baihusuo, where two villages and two watchtowers had been established! This was built in a very short time by the Chiyang Left-behind Committee using the farming tribe cards left behind by the former, coupled with the northern refugee cards. After all, the 100-household shelter was still too small to accommodate all the new immigrants. Therefore, in order to control the entire island and disperse the flow of people, Chiyang built settlements in Dongshan Village and Jingkou Village in later generations. In addition, in order to protect the scattered tribesmen, the former also set up lookout towers near villages or in places with difficult terrain. At any time, as long as someone who encounters a problem blows the bamboo whistle equipped on him, there will be more than ten people. Thousands of armed personnel are coming for reinforcements! I forgot to mention that when the new immigrants in Chiyang are working, whether they are farming, logging, or even leveling the land or building houses, their weapons are kept within easy reach at any time. The 21st century is not a time of peace and prosperity. Aborigines can be seen everywhere, pirates appear from time to time, and the Ming Dynasty army has a suspicious attitude. If one person is not good, the whole village, or even hundreds of households, may be wiped out! Therefore, all those who go out to work carry weapons. The only difference is that the new immigrants use spears, daggers, and crossbows, while the reserve soldiers use matchlocks. As for the weapons that are regarded as important to the country, Regular flag troops will not be dispatched easily under casual circumstances. They are now arranged to undergo rigorous training at the training ground deep in Bawang Mountain. Their commander, the fleet leader Kang Lin, is very dissatisfied with their performance on various battlefields. Performance, therefore, this group of elite warriors will have to endure hardships. They will take turns to train there in batches in units of sentries, hoping to become a real elite force as soon as possible!
"Chief, I am ashamed of your trust. During the attack on Salmon Island, Boss Yu's bird ship sank. I hope you can forgive me. It was really Hu Dajin and Chen Yu who pressed too hard at that time, and you went Goryeo. Otherwise, we will never take the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty's defense post..." Just as Kang Lin was scanning his territory and thoughts were running through his mind, Liu Laoliu's voice interrupted him. The former also quickly reacted. While knocking off the burned out pipe in his hand, the man had a formulaic smile on his face.
"Uncle Six, the order was issued after deliberation by all the colleagues of the Stay-behind Committee, and the battle was also commanded by Wu Fang and the shipmasters. You are not guilty of any crime, not to mention that the sons and daughters recaptured a powerful warship for us! Therefore, not only do you have no faults, but you have made meritorious deeds, and I have always been clear about rewards and punishments! In this way, when the sand ship returns from Goryeo transporting people and materials, you will go to the treasury to collect thirty taels of silver, and the temporary Go to the wooden prison and get three Koreans to serve as your slaves..."
"You must be in charge of the family. Now is the time to concentrate on doing big things. You should use your money and people where they are needed most instead of rewarding your subordinates! I used to hear people say that training dogs and cooking eagles are not allowed to eat them. Too full, otherwise there will be poor command, and this is true for dogs and eagles, let alone humans? Therefore, the old man is brave, please take back his life! If you really want to reward the old man and a group of brothers, why not I will take the people to Dengzhou to buy more wine, meat and medicinal materials, let them drink to their heart's content, and get treatment for their injuries..."
Facing his leader's gifts and rewards, Liu Laoliu, as the general manager, seemed a little frightened. Maybe it was the function of the military speech card, or maybe it was the loyalty attribute of the specially recruited personnel. Anyway, the old man not only He refused Kang Lin's reward and advised him not to let go of the hard-earned silver with Korean prisoners of war! Hearing these sincere words, Kang Lin, a descendant from the 21st century, couldn't help but burst into tears. He really regarded himself as his nephew. Not only was he willing to sacrifice his life for himself in critical moments, but he would also do everything for him in ordinary times. For your own sake, no matter how disrespectful or worried you are about such a person, then who can you trust and rely on? When he thought of this, Kang Lin hurriedly put down his pipe, bowed it to Liu Laoliu and said.
"Uncle Liu, don't say anything anymore. You treat me with the courtesy of a countryman, and I will repay you with the courtesy of a countryman! From now on, as long as I am the leader of the Chiyang Fleet, you will be the commander-in-chief of the fleet. One day, this oath will be observed by heaven and man. If you violate it, you will be struck by thunder from heaven and suffer hundreds of punishments!"
"Master, the old man is here to make a promise to you! As long as the old man is here on this day, the master can confidently and boldly fight in all directions. The old man will definitely take care of everything at home. We, the monarchs and ministers, will work hard and use our power. Develop and grow! The old man has been a water monkey and a pirate all his life. When he is old, he also wants to be a marquis, a minister or something..." Liu Laoliu saw Kang Lin's words sincerely. He was inexplicably moved at the moment and missed him for half his life. I have never received such courtesy in my life, so I became more determined in my allegiance. When the latter saw Liu Laoliu's ravaged face, he had a complex expression of gratitude, relief, and expectation, and he also smiled and continued,
"Uncle Six, don't worry. As long as we occupy a province, you will be the chief envoy. If you are lucky enough to capture several provinces or even the whole country, you will be our new prime minister! Not to mention a small one by then. If you become a marquis, it doesn't matter if you grant Uncle Liu a hereditary and irreplaceable duke. As the saying goes, "Those who steal hooks will be punished, and those who steal the country will be marquises." As long as our power is strong enough, it doesn't matter if we become kings and hegemons. As the ancients said, princes will be Xiang Ning has the guts, there’s no way we can really sit in the supreme position of the world one day!”
"What the master said is true. As long as we work hard, there is no place in the world that we cannot go! So what should we do next, should we rest or go to visit various construction sites?"
