Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 211 8-Slot Ship
Now we still have to discuss where the villagers of Zhaojia Village should go. The court ordered the fishermen to move inland to prevent banditry.
But they can no longer return to Zhaojia Village. They have nothing now, and if they go to the government office, they might be driven out as refugees.
Yongji and his friends knew that disasters had occurred frequently in the past two years, and some of the refugees from Que County had fled from the south.
I guess life in the south isn’t easy either.
"We are already homeless. We have been fishing for half our lives. Asking us to change our livelihood is like asking us to die!"
The villagers of Zhaojia Village all looked dejected, and everyone was discussing countermeasures.
At this time, four or five villagers came from a distance, and there was a man who was tied up tightly and dragged behind.
Everyone looked carefully and saw who else it could be but Zhao Gen.
"This bastard is really good at hiding! If it weren't for the birds in the sky, they wouldn't have been able to find it."
The villagers who caught him brought him back cursing at him.
Not long after the ship stopped, several villagers who were eager for revenge volunteered to look for Zhao Gen.
This deserted island is not big. After walking a few steps, I saw a group of seabirds perched on the cliff.
When they got closer, they could hear the man cursing at the bottom of the cliff. They stretched their heads to take a look and saw that Zhao Gen had actually gone down under the sea rock in order to hide.
But the rocky cliffs facing the wind are the nesting ground for seabirds. The female bird was incubating eggs and was disturbed by the uninvited guest, Zhao Gen, so the cackles of warning could be heard continuously.
The flock of birds suddenly became excited. They turned into small bombers and threw down stones, oyster shells, bird droppings and other unknown things, making Zhao Gen, who was clinging to the rock wall, miserable.
He never expected that one day he would be bullied by a group of birds. Is there any justice in the world? Zhao Gen, with bird droppings all over his head and face, was so angry that he cursed loudly.
Everyone looked at him with disgust at his dirty appearance.
"Bah! Evil will be punished."
"Captain Yong, this Zhao Gen is Shark King's man. He usually acts arrogantly and domineeringly, but now he has been caught...." What should we do next?
Although they hated Zhao Gen in their hearts, they had the same ancestor after all. In the past, the most they would have done was to expel him from the clan and drive him out of the village.
This is Zhaojia Village's internal affairs, but the villagers are now frightened birds. Since they have asked him to make the decision, they have to follow the rules set by Xie Xian.
"Why not let us take you back and dig coal in the mine." Yongji looked Zhao Gen up and down. This guy had barely any flesh on his body and at the moment he had bird droppings on his head and looked very embarrassed.
An old villager came up to me with a smile and said, "Captain Yong, do you know where this mine is? This guy is very cunning. If he runs away, all my efforts will be in vain."
"My master is the Xie family of Chengjun, don't worry, it's a long way to go!" It takes five days by boat just to get here, and it will take at least ten days to half a month to walk there.
"Hehe, it's better to be far away. I just wonder if the mine is still short of people." The village elder came closer. They were also desperate. Now it seems that the Xie family's Black Stone Guards have strict discipline. On this deserted island, not only did they not offend them, but also gave them rice and food, and helped them see a doctor.
Yongji raised his eyebrows slightly. Oh, so he was waiting here! However, there were really no serious fishermen near Blackstone Guard. Although they still had to use their trawl nets, they still needed professionals to pull and dry the nets.
Yesterday he sent someone to deliver the news to Xie Xian. The lady had already agreed. However, since they were not in a hurry to make a deal, they had to make it clear in advance.
"My master has no shortage of miners!" He paused.
The villagers' eyes dimmed, "But, we need some people who know how to fish."
Everyone immediately became excited. "Look, this is just a coincidence. We in Zhaojia Village have been fishermen in Nanwan for generations."
Zhao San was beside him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This captain Yongji was breathing heavily when he spoke, which made people feel very upset.
"If you agree to marry into the second branch of the Xie family, you will have to send people to work on this ship, otherwise you will be treated the same as refugees." Yongji said. Xie Xian obviously paid more attention to those who had skills. Maybe the queen had other arrangements.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see how the refugees in Que County lived. The Xie family provided a lot of jobs. As long as they were willing to work hard, they would not have to worry about food and drink. This alone made the villagers within a hundred miles envy them.
There were also villagers who came to work for her. Xie Xian treated them all equally, without distinguishing between high and low, in her attempt to eliminate the barriers between the locals and the refugees.
Zhao San got to know the soldiers quite well these past few days and learned from them what kind of place Que County was. Although it was poor, it accepted refugees and the boss was a kind-hearted person.
When they got on the boat, everyone in Zhaojia Village recommended themselves. They were all from the seaside and knew each other well. Some repaired boats, some made nets. It was a small village, but there were quite a variety of craftsmen. They filled up all the vacancies on the boat.
Looking at the group of spirited villagers nearby, Yongji sighed in his heart, no wonder the Shark King wanted to kidnap them, they are all talented people, but now we have a good chance.
Everyone agreed immediately and thought that once the conversation was opened up, things would be easier. When they heard that the daughter of the Xie family had invented a trawl specifically for catching fish, they said they also wanted to try it.
Yongji encouraged them for their positive attitude towards work. As they gathered around the trawl that required the cooperation of two boats, the old fisherman put forward his own opinions.
"Can we use small boats and big ships to surround the area?" Yongji nodded. He has been following the ship every day for the past three months and has some understanding of how to use the trawl net, but fishing in the sea is somewhat different from fishing in the river.
But the lady said that professional matters should be left to professionals, so he waved his hand and said, "You guys can do it yourselves!"
"Wow, this net is so big! One small boat may not be enough!" someone said.
"In addition to wooden boats, there are also sheepskin rafts!"
"No hurry, let's test the depth of the net first." The old fisherman squatted beside and said. Holding the net rope in his hand, his tone was a little excited. He heard from Yongji that this net on the river can catch a thousand kilograms of fish. He has been fishing for half his life, but this is the first time he has seen such a big net.
His dark face was full of smiles. He knew how to use the net by unfolding it and taking a look.
The Eight-Slot Ship slowly sailed away from the reef area, its sails inflated, breaking through the waves. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Yongji felt that the ship was much faster than when they came here.
The old fisherman straightened his back with a confident smile on his face. When it comes to sailing on the sea, his Zhaojia Village is not inferior to anyone else.
