The kind and honest man bowed to the ship and begged for support. Brothers who are familiar with the ship know that the ship's update should be gone.

Now the new book period cannot be too much. When it is put on the shelves, the ship will give you a big surprise. What about ten or eight updates, etc., are all weak and weak.

Beg for all kinds of support...

~~~~~~~

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed quickly, and time had already arrived on June 12, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty.

With Xu Changqing's personal actions, the framework on the island has gradually stabilized.

In the past few days, Xu Changqing not only sent people to Ningyuan City to ride a war horse to purchase a lot of food, rice, oil and salt, but also bought a lot of various medicines. He also dragged Li Changyou's relationship and invited two down-and-out doctors.

With the hard work of Zhang Mo and "Miss Xu" among Xu Changqing's servants, more than 2,000 people on the island have been booked.

In this way, Xu Changqing also had a more thorough understanding of the structure under his command at this time.

At this time, the population on the island had reached 2,231 people!

Among them, adult men can be converted into military personnel, with 567 people, 821 middle-aged women, half-aged children and girls who are about to become adults, there are also more than 300, nearly 400.

In other words, more than 70% of the population under Xu Changqing's command at this time were laborers or quasi-laborers!

What made Xu Changqing most pleased was that even without Xu Changqing's guidance, the young women he saved from the Tartars had taken on many things very consciously, not only helping to clean various fish on the island, but also helping with cooking.

Moreover, he helped Xu Changqing promote his propaganda almost anytime and anywhere, promoting Xu Changqing's benevolence and courage, and promoting Xu Changqing's courage and courage. This made Xu Changqing's already lofty prestige on the island almost have a tendency to be deified.

Xu Changqing thought carefully for a long time but did not stop him.

If it is placed in later generations, it will definitely be unhealthy and has ulterior motives, but at this time, this is an excellent method for Xu Changqing.

It should be noted that the common people under Xu Changqing are basically not well educated. Even if you tell them the great principles, they don’t understand them. Instead, they are not as good as the Bodhisattva and Buddha’s reincarnation, which makes them feel safer.

Soon, Xu Changqing began to get used to his identity as a divine light, and became more and more at ease.

Thinking about it on the other hand, he really repaid it for one time. Whatever the cause he planted will produce what kind of fruit he will produce!

At that time, I was just an unintentional act. I felt that these women were pitiful and could not bear to die on their own. In this short period of time, I had reaped such huge rewards!

It also made Xu Changqing understand a truth more: No matter when it is better to the people, it is definitely not wrong!

…

In the morning, I personally stared at Wang Anshan and Zhang Long, and Zhang Hu and others caught 17 or 8 net fish from several fishing spots, which was enough for today's consumption, so Xu Changqing finally relaxed a little.

He asked people to pack up the fresh fish like the zodiac, let Wang Anshan, Zhang Long, Zhang Hu and others go to rest, and sent someone to call Li Changyou, who had just arrived yesterday morning, and Xu Changqing came to the dock to inspect it in a organized manner.

At this time, this simple wharf had been expanded several times, extending hundreds of meters from left to right, accounting for almost a quarter of the circumference of the island.

Over the past few days, a large number of young and strong people have been resting under the simple straw shed here.

Although Xu Changqing did not explicitly prohibit the Liao people's young men and women from splitting camps, the camps of the women's relatives and children were all connected together. Even if these young men missed their wives and children, they could only say a few words during the day. It would be difficult to be intimate.

But even so, the current environment is undoubtedly thousands or hundreds of times stronger than the one they used to, and there is no need to worry about the wife, children and parents starving to death.

In comparison, those personal desires and desires have become trivial things.

"Master, little old man Li Changyou, please come to see Master Qianhu!"

While thinking, Li Changyou's slick and hoarse voice resounded throughout his ears

side.

Xu Changqing looked back and saw that Li Changyou was wearing this wide green robe. His old face was obviously much rounder than before, and even a light layer of greasy gloss, and he was looking at him excitedly and pleasingly.

Obviously, with its own support, this old guy has lived a very comfortable life recently.

However, Xu Changqing was also happy. As the saying goes, "Buy horse bones for a thousand gold coins", Xu Changqing has long been so familiar with this little trick that he can't be more familiar with.

He laughed and scolded: "Old Li, you old boy have grown a lot, you are all so handsome."

"hey-hey."

"Master, aren't this all the great blessings that have been delayed? If it weren't for your care, I would have starved to death. Madam, you are really the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, specifically to save a miserable person like the young man..."

Even when Li Changyou was dazzlingly flattering, Xu Changqing blushed a little after hearing this.

This old guy is really a wonderful person.

When he saw himself before, he always called him "Old Master", for fear of losing his reputation. But now, knowing that he has been promoted to Deputy Qianhu, he changed his words to "Master", highlighting his closeness.

Although it is just a simple title, don’t underestimate this. Many people may never touch the profoundness in it in their lifetime.

In the Ming army, only officials with more than a hundred households can be called adults. Others such as small flags and general flags can only be called "head", and even the deputy households are similar.

From this we can also see that Li Chang is as down-and-out as before, not that he has no ability, but that he has not found a suitable stage.

At this time, on his side, this guy has a place to use his skills.

"Okay, Lao Li, Young Master is flattering me. I am still young. How about it? Do you dare to accompany me to go out to sea today?"

Xu Changqing smiled and kicked Li Changyou's ass.

Li Changyou was stunned and instantly understood what Xu Changqing meant. He flattered his old face and flattered him and said, "Miao, Miao. Master, you are really a person who does big things! I am beyond my reach for this vision and decision! I just cross the sea, so why dare not? You are the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, and the Dragon Prince wants to give you face."

This is not entirely flattery, most of it is sincere.

To be honest, as an old military oil student in Liao, he has been in the army for 30 years. Even if he has not reached a single official position, how many people can survive in such a blood-scraping wave?

This actually proves his ability!

Xu Changqing nodded and his face became solemn: "Old Li, how much do you know about that big island? To be more detailed? I have been observing the waves these days. There is no big problem at noon. The wind and waves are very stable. Our bamboo raft will definitely pass."

Seeing Xu Changqing talk about the main topic, Li Changyou was also smart and did not dare to be slicker. He hurriedly said, "My man, although I have never been to Shark Island, I have been in contact with the salt peddlers there in my early years, and the environment should be quite good. Moreover, there should be many facilities in the salt farm that year. When I was a child, when Emperor Xian was prosperous, let alone these small islands in the sea, even in southern Liaoning and Liaodong, there were salt farms everywhere, and they were disciples under our Changlu Salt Farm..."

Ginger, after all, is still old and spicy.

Li Chang may not have much knowledge, but when it comes to these things, he is very familiar with them and tells them in a casual manner.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly.

With the addition of these information from Li Changyou, he is more confident about his future plans.

…

After noon, around eleven o'clock, Xu Changqing ordered more than a dozen bamboo rafts that had been repaired and reinforced, and took more than 100 young and strong men including Zhao Zengjin, Ergou, Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, Zhao Qiliang, Wang Hongyang and others to the sea and headed straight to the "Shark Island" in the northeast.

In the past few days, the young and strong Liao people like Zhang Long and Zhang Hu have gradually adapted to the control of bamboo rafts.

Even though the deep sea is different from the near sea, the waves are more powerful and vigorous, they are all young and strong, and these days they are full of food and drink.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Although it was a little thrilling, I quickly got used to it.

The group rushed straight to Shark Island without any speed.

About three or four miles away from Pigtrotter Island, the surrounding large reefs and small islands have fewer bulges. Under the midday sacred sunshine, the entire sea is blue and golden, and it is indescribable.

Xu Changqing stood at the bow of the boat, and from time to time, he could clearly see a large number of fish floating by.

Although the effect of the bamboo raft is very poor, most of the shoes and pants are quickly wet by the sea, but Xu Changqing is not at all uncomfortable, and his eyes are full of ambition!

He hummed the popular tune in later generations: "Dare you ask where the road is, the road is at your feet?"

Soon, Xu Changqing and his group saw the shadow of Shark Island.

This is not just a large island, but an island group!

There are more than a dozen small islands and large reefs scattered around them.

Even though it was so far away, Xu Changqing could easily find several fishing spots that could set up fishing nets with comfort.

The only unfriendly thing is that near the Shark Island, there are many fierce fish fins appearing on the sea, which obviously does not bode well.

In later generations, because of its unique geographical advantages, Bohai Bay was a treasure land where various sharks live. Even in later generations, Xu Changqing encountered sharks several times when he went out to sea here, let alone at this time.

Fortunately, these sharks should not be big, and they don’t have that kind of terrifying thing at the giant level. Moreover, they should be used to domineering in this area. Xu Changqing and the others did not arouse their interest.

Soon, the fleet bypassed several reef groups and landed on a gentle beach without any danger.

Looking at the surrounding scenes, Xu Changqing was immediately excited!

The open space on this island is dozens of times wider than that of Pigtrotter Island. Except for the north and northeast where there are several continuous mountains, the rest are very flat.

Moreover, not only are there many lush bamboo forests growing on the island, but there are more than a dozen stone buildings left by the salt field in the early years.

These stone houses can be reused after a little renovation.

It should be noted that in the early years, people in the salt farm must have spent a lot of effort to build such solid stone houses on such remote islands, because it was difficult to find such stones on the island, and 80% were transported from outside.

Of course, even if Shark Island is good, it is not perfect.

First of all, the terrain on the beach is too low, and once the tide rises, it may spread to one-third. Moreover, there is not much land on the island, all of which are sandy land. It’s nothing to cook salt and raise some bamboo, but it’s a bit difficult to grow some vegetables and be self-sufficient.

However, because the surrounding bay is surrounded by reefs, there are a lot of wild kelp, seaweed, sea celery and the like, which are definitely good things!

And it is not difficult to pick.

Xu Changqing personally surveyed the terrain of Shark Island, and asked Zhao Zengjin and Ergou, who had already known some knowledge of map drawing, to draw the island map in detail. Before he came to a stone house, he checked it, climbed up the roof, and looked down at the surrounding scenery.

Even though Shark Island is somewhat imperfect, it is definitely a rare treasure land for Xu Changqing at this time and an important foundation for Xu Changqing to grow and grow!

Unfortunately, Xu Changqing's money has already been found at this time. Even if it doesn't cost too much money to support the team at this time, many big things they want to do are hard to do without money.

After thinking about it, Xu Changqing could only suppress this kind of burning ambition first and do it step by step!

Especially, I still need more elite talents from all aspects!

For example, various craftsmen who are extremely valuable in Ningyuan City.

For example, more doctors, chefs, fishermen with professional knowledge, and even old farmers who are familiar with various crops.

Especially with more military knowledge, skilled bow and horse, and spiritual old brands, they will not accept them at night!

But before that, Xu Changqing had to make some achievements and earn some money and capital!
