Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 323 Sea Trial ([-])

Xu Xiaomi asked Mu Yuanqing to tell those fishermen about his fleet and the conditions for recruiting partners.

See if I can find some more good sailors.In fact, it doesn't matter if there is no one to join their current fleet.

As long as they do it themselves and make a profit, and they released the conditions for joining earlier, someone will naturally come to them to join them.

Now that Xu Xiaomi has handed over the task to Mu Yuanqing, she will be much freer.However, she was born exhausted!
He has nothing to do here, he is thinking about things in the capital.However, the test voyage has not yet been carried out.She still has to be there.

So, she took advantage of Mu Yuanqing's going out to talk to the fishermen. At this time, she found a few people herself, and together with Qiu Yongzheng, she set up the sail and tied it firmly.

Said to Qiu Yongzheng: "My husband is ready! Now, get your sailors on board! Okay, let's set sail!"

Xu Xiaomi was thinking about asking Qiu Yongzheng to bring the sailors and helmsmen with him, but he didn't speak.Now, it's time for sea trial, let's see how you complete the sea trial?
Who knows, while Xu Xiaomi was waiting to see Qiu Yongzheng blushing, Qiu Yongzheng put his finger on his lips and whistled loudly.

The men who came out of the arbor were all dressed in rough mandarin jackets, with their shoulders exposed and headscarves of various colors tied on their heads, they looked like sailors.

Before Xu Xiaomi could react, she heard her husband shouting loudly: "Brothers! Now, the big ship has been installed and can set sail!"

When those men heard Qiu Yongzheng say that it was time to set sail, they shouted with joy and rushed to board the boat.

Xu Xiaomi looked at them and felt that he saw hope and saw a quintessential navy.

When she thought of this, she thought that there was still a vacancy in the sea defense of Da Zhou!

If at any time, a well-trained foreign navy suddenly comes from the sea, it can directly attack the capital without firing a single shot.

In the past, she didn't think about it because she didn't want to be in that position. Now, although she is reluctant, she has already sat in that position, so she has to think about how to play a role in this position?
It seems that she is going to start thinking of ways to start coastal defense.However, she is not a military strategist herself!

well!If I had known, she would have been in the navy back then. What kind of agricultural university did she study?

well!At this time, Xu Xiaomi really realized, "When the book is used, you will hate less"!

However, in any case, this simple defense should be there.Moreover, she can also do this simple defense.

She decided that when she went back this time, she would draw some defensive ships like those she saw in military magazines in her previous life!There is no way that I only have this level now. If I want to be more precise, I have to do it by myself.

At this time, the sea is not divided, where is whose route?Wherever there is the high seas.

Their big ship is on this boundless sea, it is really the sentence: the sky allows birds to fly, and the sea allows fish to jump.

After the big ship traveled a hundred nautical miles in the sea, Xu Xiaomi asked the helmsman to turn south.

The helmsman yelled in the control room: "Princess! Princess! The little one can't use this direction mark!"

Xu Xiaomi went down to the bottom cabin to take a look. He looked at the voyage computer and said that he couldn't use the direction indicator.

Xu Xiaomi walked over, pointed to the direction mark on the right side of the rudder with his finger and said, "Brother, you read it wrong, this is the direction mark."

As soon as she said that, the big man immediately felt his face was burning hot.However, because of his dark skin, Xu Xiaomi didn't notice that he was blushing at all.

However, to be honest, this big man's navigation skills are still good, but he just touched this new thing, and his hands are a little raw.

Xu Xiaomi believes that as long as they sail the sea for a day or two, they will definitely be the best helmsmen.

Xu Xiaomi stood in the control room for a while, feeling that it was too stuffy inside, and after sailing so far, it was time to go back.

So she looked at the seagulls outside the window and said, "Brother! Let's go back!"

Hearing what Xu Xiaomi said, the big man immediately turned around and drove back.

Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng went back to the county town of Linghai County to rest at night.There were only dozens of sailors and dozens of helmsmen left on the seashore.

When Xu Xiaomi and the others returned to the city, they first made a bucket of hot water to wash away the sweat and fatigue of the past few days, and then they slept comfortably and rested.

The next day, when Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng came to the beach again, they didn't see their own big iron boat.

Xu Xiaomi thought to himself: Where have all these big ships and sailors gone?Could it be that they all went out to test the voyage?

You can't go too far!Then there is no gas engine installed on the ship!It all depends on manpower and wind power. What if there is a headwind?

They were in the arbor, and when the sun was burning on their bodies, they still hadn't seen the shadow of the big ship and the sailors.

Xu Xiaomi was so anxious that she went out to sea to see it by herself, but she didn't know where they went?In the vast ocean, where should she find them?
When she was at a loss in anxiety, she thought to herself: I can't be so anxious, they have so many experienced people together, why do I need to worry about it as a layman!

I am here to worry that they will encounter difficulties, but maybe they are very happy!
She accompanied Qiu Yongzheng and walked slowly on the beach.She remembered that she once had a wish, which was to take her family to go to sea together.

Now that the big ship is ready, I believe that I am very close to that wish.

As they watched, the fish washed ashore by the tide were left on the sand after the water receded.

Xu Xiaomi heard a familiar shout.She looked up, and Qiu Yongzheng saw it too. He smiled and said to his beloved wife, "Mimei! Look, isn't that them? They're back!"

After Qiu Yongzheng finished speaking, he excitedly took his beloved wife's little hand and ran to the place where the big boat docked.

The sailors were so excited that they couldn't wait to jump off the ship as soon as it docked, and ran into the arbor laughing and laughing.

Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng also returned to the arbor, and the sailors came in one after another.

As soon as they saw Xu Xiaomi and his wife, they shouted happily: "The villain is waiting for the prince, the princess! We have successfully sailed today!"

Qiu Yongzheng was very happy when he heard that, and said with a smile: "Okay! From now on, these boats will be like your own, so you must take good care of them!"

Xu Xiaomi thought to herself: It is a happy thing to have a successful trial voyage, but a port and a large wharf have to be built on the seashore.

Otherwise, if the ship encounters a strong storm, where will it dock?
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaomi also said with a smile: "Well! Thank you for your hard work, brothers! It's a great thing that the trial voyage was successful.

However, this big ship must have a harbor to anchor, otherwise, when there is a big storm on the sea, there will be no place to anchor.

A ship of our size cannot dock casually like a fisherman.

I've already decided to find some craftsmen to repair the wharf and build the port.Those who do these things are paid, and the more you work, the more you get, and you can also participate. "

As soon as Xu Xiaomi said this, someone said: "Crown princess! We have more than 100 people here, plus more than 100 guards in the city. There are enough people for construction. There is no need to find more people."

When the others heard this, they all echoed: "Yes! Yes! If there is money to be made, who would not do it?"

After hearing what they said, Xu Xiaomi shook his head and said, "You can, but they can't, they are all soldiers, if they all come to make money, who will defend the country and resist foreign enemies?

Besides, if they really wanted to do it, they wouldn't get paid.Because they all get their salaries every month, and what they do is their obligation. "

Xu Xiaomi did this because he didn't want to raise soldiers with no resistance like the Tang Dynasty, and then Da Zhou and Xuanzong would come together.

Xu Xiaomi told the sailors that those who are willing to build a port wharf should go to Mu Yuanqing to sign up.

On the morning of the third day, when Xu Xiaomi went to the beach again.Mu Yuanqing sat there waiting for them.

Xu Xiaomi showed Mu Yuanqing the port map drawn by staying up late last night.

"Uncle Mu, I'll leave this errand to you. We'll bring lime when we get back. Remember, the port and dock must be built firmly. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous!

When the port is completed, I will personally come to inspect and accept it.If it is not repaired, it needs to be reworked. There is no wages for the reworked work, and at the same time, the cost of wasted materials must be deducted from the wages. "

Hearing what Xu Xiaomi said, Mu Yuanqing had no choice but to take it seriously.Who can tell others to understand?
Xu Xiaomi handed over the task to Mu Yuanqing, and returned to the capital with Qiu Yongzheng, the child and the nurse the next day.

As soon as they entered the palace gate, Lin Chong stood at the palace gate and waited for them.Xu Xiaomi was really tired these days, seeing where Lin Chong had prepared the sedan chair.

She got into the roof directly and said to the bearer: "Go back to Yangming Palace!"

Qiu Yongzheng saw that his beloved wife had already got into the sedan chair while holding his son, so he got into another sedan chair not to be outdone.

Said: "Follow up with the empress!"

After hearing this, the bearers hurriedly lifted them up and walked forward.

He hurriedly chased Lin Chong in, and only after he was outside Yangming Palace did Lin Chong catch up to Xu Xiaomi's sedan chair.

Panting hurriedly, she went to help Xu Xiaomi open the car curtain, and waited for Xu Xiaomi to slowly get out of the sedan chair.

Lin Chongcai said to Xu Xiaomi: "This slave welcomes the master back to the palace!"

"Excuse me! Excuse me! Lin Chong, hurry up and get me two buckets of hot water. The prince and I need to take a bath."

After hearing this, Lin Chong hurried to the gate of the palace and said a few words to Xiaocun standing there.

Xiaocun quickly walked up to Xu Xiaomi, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your servant welcomes the prince, and the princess returns to the palace!"

After hearing this, Xu Xiaomi said, "Get up quickly! As I said, in this Yangming Palace, you are not allowed to kneel unless there are outsiders."

After hearing this, Xiao Cun was moved and replied: "Understood, master!" After Xiao Cun'er finished speaking, he ran to the small kitchen.

At this time, Xu Erqiang and Zhou Yuqing heard the voice of their daughter and son-in-law, and the couple came out.
