One Piece of Song Dynasty

"Okay, then the three of us will also learn to read together." Ruan Xiaoer said.

"Well, the three brothers have learned how to read. They will be able to read government notices when going out in the future, and they can also teach their children to read. When Hui'an becomes stable, I will move all my belongings from Nan'an to Hui'an. The three brothers' The child can learn literacy from the teacher along with other children."

"Well, okay, thank you brother."

"I wonder if the three brothers and the sailors have gone out to sea on a boat in the past few days?"

"I did go to sea once, but I didn't go very far. I just wandered not far from the seaside." Ruan Xiaoer said.

"How does it feel for three brothers to go to sea?"

"The sea is really big and dangerous and exciting. It can't be compared to our little lake." Ruan Xiaoqi said excitedly.

"Did Brother Qi go fishing last time?"

"No, last time I went out to sea, I was practicing boating, not fishing."

"Well, although there has been no major sea action in the past six months, the three brothers can often take the sailors to operate the boat near the sea, and can also go fishing. This will also allow the sailors to become familiar with the boat more quickly. Operation at sea.”

"Well, brothers and sisters all know."

"Second brother, I want to know which of the three of you has the best underwater skills?"

"Xiao Qi is the best at underwater skills."

"Brother Qi, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What's the matter?"

"Select those with better underwater skills from among the sailors to form a team of water ghosts. Brother Qi, you will be the leader."

"That's no problem. What does the Water Ghost Team do?"

"It's all about digging into the enemy's boats underwater, and picking up the enemy's boats at night."

"Yeah, but we have few sailors now."

"This is not a problem. We will continue to envy sailors, and we will try to recruit some sailors with experience in operating sea ships, so that the three brothers and other sailors can learn more. I am not in a hurry to use this water ghost team, at least There won’t be any big things done in a few years, so Seventh Brother can take his time, but the underwater skills and martial arts of the Water Ghost Team must not be bad. When it comes to using them, they must hit the target without making any mistakes.”

"Well, brother, brother understands, brother will train the water ghost team well."

"Brothers, I have some rules for sailing on the sea. I need to tell the sailors that the boat must be clean when sailing on the sea. People who sail on the sea for a long time live on the boat. If the boat is not clean, Mess and mess can easily lead to plague, so we must pay attention to this matter.”

"Brother, is it so serious?" Ruan Xiaoer said with a look of disbelief.

"I heard this from other merchants in the sea trade. If you catch the plague at sea, you will die."

"Well, our brotherhood will be strict with these sailors."

"Brothers, after talking about business, let's talk about family matters. The old lady is in good health. How are the brothers living here?"

"Brother, don't worry, I'm in good health. Life here is much better than before. I don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and money. It's so comfortable." Ruan Xiaowu said excitedly.

"That's good, as long as the brothers are satisfied."

After chatting with the three Ruan brothers for a while, I took Lao Wang and the guards back to the county government office.

Two days later the housekeeper came to see me.

"Uncle An, why do you have time to come over?"

"I came over to see how the young master is doing here. It's getting colder and colder. Do you still need anything?"

"Well, everything is fine with me. I don't need anything. Uncle An just happened to be here. I have a few things to tell you."

"Well, sir, tell me."

"First of all, our shipyard can build ships with a larger load capacity. I gave Old Man Liu the task of four more ships, two lucky ships with a load of shi and two sand ships with a load of shi."

"Well, the young master's family knows about it."

"Uncle An, how are the four ships we ordered at another shipyard going?"

"It will be finished in one month."

"Well, then Uncle An will order six more ships, three lucky ships with a load of four thousand dan and three sand ships with a load of dan."

"okay."

"Secondly, are Gao Ping's eight thousand taels of gold ready?"

"Everything has been prepared for him. The luggage guard and the others are all ready. They will be on the road tomorrow."

"Well, okay, let's go now so they can get there before the Chinese New Year. Has Uncle An, the evil landlord in Hui'an, found out who he is?"

"We have found some things to check. In another half month, they will almost be completed."

"Well, I plan to carry out a big operation after the New Year. I will confiscate the homes of all the notorious landlords and powerful people, and establish my authority in Hui'an County."

"Well, a certain family will prepare evidence for the young master as soon as possible."

"For the third time, I plan to open another restaurant in Hui'an. Uncle An, please choose a place."

"Well, okay, a certain family will take care of it in a moment."

"Well, Uncle An, has our family started construction on their new residence in Hui'an?"

"Work has already started."

"Okay, then I guess I can move here in three or four months."

"Well, if the young master is fine, a certain family will leave first."

"Uncle An, wait a minute. I just remembered something. Uncle An has to hire two more teachers. One will go to the sailors to teach literacy, and the other will go to the Xiang Barracks in Hui'an County to teach literacy to the children in the Xiang Barracks."

"Well, a certain family knows about it. The master has nothing else to do."

"Well, it's gone this time. Uncle An, you can go back."

After Uncle An left, I took Lao Wang and planned to go to Xiang Barracks to see how Zhang Hu was doing. The Xiang Barracks is in the east of the city, close to the city gate, just a quarter of an hour's walk from the county government office.

When I arrived at the Xiang Barracks, I saw craftsmen repairing the barracks, and the Xiang soldiers were training in the Xiang Barracks.

"Sir, why are you here?" Zhang Hu ran over and said.

"Well, let me see how things are going at the military camp?"

"The barracks and barracks are being repaired."

"Where are the sources of troops?"

"The old and the weak have all been eliminated as logistics troops. The supply of soldiers has not been fully replenished. There is still a shortage of a hundred people. It will be replenished in another half month."

"Well, after you finish supplementing, practice hard. I have a big move after the New Year. Do you think you can catch up?"

"Okay, sir, don't worry, I will definitely catch up."

"Well, that's good. Is there anything else you're missing?"

"Well, we don't lack anything, including food, clothing, housing and money. The soldiers in the Xiang Barracks are very grateful to you, and they all say that they must train well to repay your kindness."

"Well, no, no, as long as there are no problems when moving, it's fine."

"Well, no problem. I promise that I won't spoil the master's big deal. By the way, master, our carpenter told me that we can make the crossbows we took out from the county warehouse."

"Okay, then tell him to make more and save them all first so that no one finds out."

"Yes, I understand, sir."

"When the barracks are repaired, I will hire a teacher for the brothers in the Xiang barracks so that their children can also learn to read."

"Then let me thank you in advance on behalf of the brothers in the Xiang Barracks."
