"What a group of fools..." The scholars were not convinced, but when they saw that Huang Laifu and others were big-sleeved men, they didn't dare to fight any more, just muttering that they were not convinced.

Huang Laifu and others did not fight with him anymore. Scholars were valuable, and ordinary people would respect those who read more. This is a code of conduct that is not questioned in the world.

Passing a path from the river beach and to the edge of the embankment, Huang Laifu and others saw the pier not far away.

The dock is only leaning against large ships. There are more than a dozen big blessed ships and several foreign soft sailboats parked on the pier along the river. These big ships are dozens of meters long and don’t feel anything when they are on the sea. Seeing these big ships on the bank of the Min River and the workers coming and going to carry goods gives people a strong sense of shock.

The small merchant rushed to Fuzhou in a hurry and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he rolled his eyes several times.

The Nan'an tax card exempts taxes from small merchants under 50 jin, and imposes heavy taxes on large merchants, especially those of semen. This makes many small merchants glad, and are grateful to Xu Zixian and have a sense of pleasure of venting anger.

Of course, this small businessman was very dissatisfied with scholars questioning Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian. If it weren't for the tradition of respecting scholars, he would have fought with this sour Ding.

Huang Laifu looked at the port and the pier, and then watched the large-scale storage area, and he had a rough idea.

Such places, besides Quanzhou Port, Zhangzhou Port, and Jiangling. Mingzhou has such ports, and of course, the scale is even larger. There are hundreds of ships parked in a port in Quanzhou every day. To put it in an exaggeration, the ships parked in Quanzhou and ships departing from Quanzhou Port can be completely able to receive Luzon all the way on the sea!

The port on the Minjiang River certainly cannot be compared with Quanzhou port in terms of scale, but from this point of view, Nan'an Houzi attaches importance to sea trade, and the dock port in front of him is a clear proof.

On the east side, there are many roads on the dense green grass beach, as well as some buildings such as shacks.

The river is full of free-range ducks, and the shacks and boats belong to the ducklings.

A little further away, there are small-scale trest bridges and ports. Several watercraft and blessed boats are moored by the river, and more than a hundred large and small ships are also moored. Dozens of craftsmen are repairing and repairing, and a scent of paint comes from it, which shows that someone is repainting and waterproofing these ships.

Huang Laifu nodded, knowing that what his brother said was right. It was indeed a big Shui Camp here. An old sailor like him was indeed useful.

Those large and small ships, four masts and sails, and four masts and eight masts and single masts. These ships Huang Laifu was not very interested in these small ships. At most, these small ships were governors on the river, fishing or patrolling near the shore. If you want to go to the sea, at least those lucky ships must be qualified.

Of course, the lucky ships he liked were those that had been repaired and were quietly moored on the shore.

Fu 1, Fu 2, Fu 3, Water 1, Water 2, Ling 1, Ling 2, Huang Laiyong saw flags floating above the ship, and these names should be the names of each ship.

On the official road not far away, a large number of carriages and horses gathered, and merchants of all kinds paid a lot of money with a frown. Their profit was heavy, and it was still very cost-effective to pay the money, only accounting for a small part of their profits. However, from the unimpeded passage and not paying a single money, they had to take out part of the money to pay. These people were not very happy.

Huang Laifu also looked at these lustful merchants with disgust. In fact, merchants love money is the norm. There are not only maritime merchants but also pirates on the sea. Some people in the Great Wei have also been pirates and have done plunder and killing people. But there are still some bottom lines in the bones of the Great Wei people, and some ideas of benevolence, loyalty and forgiveness are engraved in their bones. These people in the Tianfang have no eyes to be ashamed of silver. They can do anything crazy for money, and they have no psychological burden!

Huang Laifu later learned that in the teachings of Tianfang, he would plunder the property of foreign teachers, kill them without restraint, not be punished by their God, and even be rewarded!

This kind of indulgence in the doctrine, and the people of Tianfang were originally looking down on people outside their country, so they acted more unscrupulously and without any restrictions overseas. Many murders and arsons were done without psychological concerns. For example, the main force in Zhangzhou Massacre more than ten years ago was Pu Xingfeng, a native of Tianfang and his subordinates.

Huang Laifu has been overseas for a long time and knows very well about Tianfang people. When he looked at those Tianfang's eyes paying money and passing the tax customs with an unhappy look, he felt a sense of relief for no reason!

Some houses were also built at the dock where the warships were moored, with about a hundred rooms, forming a huge courtyard.

There were more than a dozen plowing oxen and dozens of farmers who were using a thousand kilograms of stone mills to compact the soil. Huang Laifu knew that it was a small school for training the soldiers of the Water Camp.

In addition to fighting the boat and carrying the crossbow on the boat, you also have to use the divine arm bow and archery on the boat, shoot moving grass targets on the boat, and practice close-up fighting, physical fitness, etc. on the shore.

Of course, the most basic queue training, physical training, internal affairs training, etc. are one with the martial arts soldiers on the shore, and there will be no difference in this.

No matter how good you practice your skills, you must first gain loyalty. This is the first article when Xu Zixian accepted the lectures of the new Wu Zu.

The first thing to do in a literacy course is to talk about loyalty.

What Huang Laifu saw was the training camp, and the new martial soldiers were generally trained in the Wuzhu camp on the other side of the courtyard. After the recruiting course was completed, the training base on this shore was also completed, and special water camp soldiers would be trained here.

The main thing is to swim, train boats, fiddle with sails, knots, and fight on the boat. No matter how good you practice on the shore, it is not as good as practicing on the boat. This is also Xu Zixian's philosophy.

Huang Laifu glanced at him and found that he was not very interested in these things. After all, he was here to recruit sailors and was not prepared to join the army to eat food.

However, when he got ashore, he took a look at the Wu Zu camp not far away. It was already quite famous. Thinking that his brother was also inside, Huang Laifu shook his head gently.

A good man does not serve as a soldier. This is not very marketable in the Great Wei Dynasty. After all, the imperial guards are treated well, and the Xiang army can support their families and not starve to death. But no matter what, after experiencing the disaster of the warriors at the end of the Tang Dynasty, China had a kind of guard against warriors. If it were not forcibly, there were still not many people who took the initiative to serve as soldiers and eat food.

There have been wooden fences and brick buildings at Shuiying Wharf, and there are no too many carvings, making them look simple and unpretentious.

Several people wearing official robes were sitting on both sides of the main hall. Huang Laifu and a group of people received the license plate. When they called his license plate, he hurried into the hall and crossed his hands to the official who called the number.

"No need to be too polite." The official smiled gently, as if he was returning the courtesy. He made a hand gesture to make Huang Defu sit down and speak.

Huang Defu thanked him and felt strange in his heart. Nan'an is really in a different place. In other places, ordinary people are certainly afraid of officials when they see officials. Even officials are not easy to deal with.

"What's the surname? What's the name?" The official had already taken a short pen in his hand, dipped ink in the ink bottle in front of Huang Laifu's eyes, and waited for Huang Laifu to speak.

"The surname is Huang, and his name is Huang Laifu." Huang Laifu was a little restrained, but he knew how to read. When he was a child, he went to elementary school and reported his resume one by one. After seeing the official's writing, he felt much more relieved.

"Stay for a moment." The official finished writing, and waited for the ink to dry up, and asked Huang Laifu to wait. He took the charts he had just recorded and walked to the back hall.

Huang Laifu felt a little uneasy, and he didn't know whether he was in line with him. However, after listening for a while, he found that the sailors who came to apply for the recruitment were mostly not as experienced as him, so he felt much more at ease.

"Follow me." The recorded official turned out from the back hall and waved to Huang Laifu.

Huang Laifu looked confused and moved into the back hall with the clerk.

After coming in, I realized that after walking around, I entered a larger yard, and there were many officials walking around the rooms on both sides of the room in a hurry, and some people who were almost like Huang Laifu followed him in and out.

"This is Li Yi and Li Gong, the chief of the regiment training." The official pointed to the middle-aged official with a serious look on one side and said, "Li Changshi, this is Huang Laifu."

Li Yi was sitting in the water camp for a while, and there were military officials such as Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi, Zhang Huchen, etc. where the group practiced. Kong He was responsible for the daily expenses, and Fu Qian was responsible for the equipment. On that day, Xu Zi first took people to see the hydraulic spinning wheel. On the side of the Nan'an River, Li Yi did not follow him. There were many things in the water camp here, especially the repair of ships and recruiting hand water. When summer came, they had to train sailors and load crossbow machines day and night, so the time was very urgent and should not be neglected.

Now everyone is concerned that if you want to successfully develop the Dongfan, the start-up capital will be at least one million chunks.

It is a great thing to develop, and everyone is happy to see it. Now the income of spinning wheels and laborers in the group training, docks, and even the Marquis’ Mansion is already quite large, but it is impossible to invest all of them in the Dongfan. Not to mention these ships under construction, they also need to build real large warships. Each ship has a budget of more than 100,000 guan. Based on Li Yi’s understanding of Xu Zixian, the construction of the ship is urgent. As long as there is a slight financial surplus, I am afraid that I will immediately talk to Lin Ding, whether to raise the money and start the construction, or do some of the advance payments be made. According to Li Yi’s understanding of Xu Zixian, I am afraid that some of the money will be built first.

The purpose of shipbuilding is to develop the Dongfan, protect the waterway, guard against the Qishan Road, and eliminate Chen Yutai. It is also above this water camp, and Li Yi cannot ignore it.

There are rumors now. Xu Zixian returned to Fuzhou first, but had not taken over to Qizhou. Although there was time to cushion the officials took over, Xu Zixian's attitude of not being too anxious or slow, only caring about the management of Nan'an and even the Dongfan, and not caring about the official position in Qizhou, also caused various rumors.

Most of the newspapers in Fuzhou praised Xu Zixian very well, not forgetting his father's revenge, but being irreconcilable with Chen Yutai and determined to take revenge. Then there was a battle between Heqiao and the Battle of Jiangtan, which showed the ability of Wu Zu.

There are also a few two schools who sing opposite tunes, believing that Xu Zixian was just for himself and had no intention of filial piety at all. If he was truly filial, he should go to Qizhou as soon as possible after taking over, avenge his father, kill Chen Yutai, and return the people of Fujian to a peaceful world.

Xu Zixian had no such intention now, which shows that the marquis of the royal family was just that.

This argument made Li Yi and others very angry, but this kind of thing could not be counterattacked. This kind of heart-killing theory has no market in Nan'an. People who have experienced it know the difficulties in doing things. The most annoying thing is the scholars everywhere. They like to read newspapers and make comments, and they are naturally disagreeing with the powerful. This kind of integrity is originally a good thing, but if public opinion has always criticized Xu Zixian like this, it may really affect Xu Zixian's reputation.
