Chapter 57 Base Construction Starts
Chapter 57: The base starts construction
The night is hazy, surrounded by faint mist, the stars are dim and the moon is confused.
Several figures were busy nervously in the murder port.
Seventy tracts of salt were carried onto the boat by a load, and the boat drew deeper and deeper.
At the beginning, Zhang Yang just jumped up and down, and a hundred scattered salt came out, but in actual operation, it was a few brothers who worked hard.
Seventy danks of salt were collected by Shixin, Li Bosheng and Lu Zhen. Each of them needed to collect more than twenty danks of salt, and then all of them were carried to the Killing Port. This was really a hard work. These days, they have exhausted them.
Li Bosheng and Lu Zhen hadn't complained anything yet, but Shi Xin had already started calling. Looking at the bubbles on Shi Xin's feet, Zhang Yang felt that he was not considerate at the beginning and should have sent more of them to collect salt together. However, as he sent too much, it was easy for He Zhaoyi to find problems. When he started working together, Zhang Yang didn't want to be discovered.
In addition to Shixin, Li Bosheng and Lu Zhen, there were also Shide. The first three people were here at the beginning. Shide had to go to the base together and then stayed there to guide the specific purification work. The remaining few people then went to collect sea salt everywhere.
This time, in addition to seventy dans of salt, there were also various equipment to purify it into refined salt, which were also loaded on the ship together.
There are about a dozen big pots, filter paper, and some must-haves for people’s daily necessities. Since they are not allowed to come out, they must provide them with daily necessities. Of course, they cannot be provided for free, so they have to buy them with money. Anyway, after paying them the wages, they have no place to spend money.
"It's time to start the boat!" Zhang Yang shouted.
The sails rose, and with the strong east wind, they carried Zhang Yang's beauty towards the future, and the boat drove towards the base.
Just in case, Shixin and Li Bosheng drove the ship, Zhang Yang, Shide and Lu Zhen used this combo crossbow, each guarding the front, left and right directions to deal with the sudden occurrence.
Every time, Zhang Yang is careful and the crossbow is ready to go at any time. Once he finds something wrong, he can immediately eliminate the danger invisibly.
Because, since the first time selling private salt, everyone has embarked on a path of no return. They must keep moving forward, forward, and then forward until they reach their peak.
As the eldest brother, Zhang Yang must be responsible to the brothers under his command, so he must be cautious.
Fortunately, as usual, the surrounding area was as usual, and there was no situation. Apart from the sound of the wind, there was only the bleak sky.
When we drove into the reeds, it was just dawn.
Everyone was relieved. As soon as they entered, it would be safe. Except for people familiar with the route, most people would not come in, otherwise they would definitely not find the way back.
The morning sun was rising, but everything was still quiet around. The wind blew all night and gradually became weaker. The wild ducks had not come out to move, but occasionally heard the cry of frogs on the lotus leaves.
When he got home, Zhang Yang stretched.
Unconsciously, he had already regarded this base as his home, and his own hegemony would start from this small island.
Based on memory, Zhang Yang had already figured out this route almost enough. After walking a few more times, he became completely familiar with it.
After dozens of turns, the island finally appeared in front of you again.
The boat gradually approached the island. Looking around, Zhang Yang suddenly felt refreshed. It was great. This time it really looked like a base.
From the outside, it looks the same as before, but after careful observation, I found that it has been cleverly transformed.
The most obvious thing is that on the top of the high hill in the center, a small fortification has been made, and it is piled up with rocks around it. It looks like it is formed naturally. If it weren't for the large flat stone on the top of the hill, it wouldn't have been discovered. Hiding inside, not afraid of the attack of the outside bows and arrows, and condescendingly, it would be easy to find all the changes nearby.
Some of the trees around him should have been cut down inside, but the outside is still lush, blocking the changes inside. If you don’t have to observe carefully, you will not be able to find the pointed roof hidden among the leaves. What satisfied him the most was the warehouse on the east side, one by one, which could meet his needs.
While observing, suddenly, the sound of a conch horn sounded from the island.
What's wrong? Everyone was shocked and all the combo crossbows in their hands were lifted up.
Has the base been occupied by other forces?
The ship was approaching the east coast and was about to approach the natural rocks at the dock.
The sound of messy footsteps came from the shore, and everyone nervously held the combo crossbow in their hands. Once they found something was wrong, there would be a rain of arrows immediately.
With the sound of footsteps, a group of people came over, each holding a bamboo pole in his hand.
However, many people's clothes were not neatly worn, and some people ran over without time to wear jackets and only pants. Obviously, they woke up quickly and fucked the guy after hearing the alarm.
The leader was a big man with a smile on his face, which was Tang He who stayed on the island.
"Brother, you are finally here, I want to die!" Tang He stepped forward and wanted to have a hug with Zhang Yang.
"Dingchen, what are you doing? It scared me!" Zhang Yang flashed and said dissatisfied.
Tang He seemed to be wronged, "Brother, the work on the island has been done, and I have been cleaned up so easily. I saw that these laborers had nothing to do, so I trained them for a few days. If someone came to attack, I would also organize them to resist."
"What happened to the conch horn just now?" Zhang Yang asked.
"As your order, I made a lookout whistle on the huge rock in the middle of the island. Every day, I sent someone to serve on the duty. Whenever I found out, I would blow the trumpet and warn them, and everyone would fuck me and prepare to face the enemy." Tang He said.
Zhang Yang's face calmed down. Tang He was really from a corps and always wanted to fight. He wanted to train a force for these people. I hired these people to work. When I came, I didn't say that they would participate in the war. I don't know what methods Tang He used to manage them to obey.
In fact, Tang He has made no mistakes. However, Zhang Yang thought of another possibility. After staying on this island for a long time and being led by him alone, will it be aggravated with his personal ambition? Although his life was saved by himself, I don’t know if he is really loyal to him in such a short time.
Historically, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who was loyal to Tang He who became his subordinates by chance. This hidden danger must be eliminated as soon as possible.
However, this time, Shide was asked to go to the island, and these workers should continue to work. Tang and his subordinates had no one, so they should not be able to do anything, right? Let Shide take over these people first, wait for Ruohan to go to the island, and then let her manage the accounts. In this way, the base will be firmly in his own hands.
"Dingchen," said Zhang Yang: "It's done well."
Hearing the praise, Tang Hezhan was complacent, "It's okay, I built a big house for my elder brother, and waited for my elder brother to move in later."
When Zhang Yang heard this, he felt a little nervous. It seemed that he had been a little worried just now, and Tang He should still be very loyal to him.
"Dingchen, you have to worry about it. However, our base is mainly used for production. Now, the first transaction has arrived. Let everyone move the things in the boat first, and then let Shide lead everyone to work!"
"That's great, I know that my brother brought good things this time!" Tang He was very happy and waved to the back: "Hurry up, work is working, our base is about to start construction!"
