readx Early the next morning, Zhao Lie came to the shipyard.
This was the key point for him.
There were still more than ten days before departure, which was really unbearable.
Niang, the owner of the shipyard, has gone to Goa.
Now his brother Joaquín is in charge.
Wang Ming, the manager of the Ming Dynasty, is also there.
However, they are all in low spirits.
The pirates are targeting the shipyard and want to pull all the ships that have just been launched in the shipyard.
Let's go, this will directly bankrupt the shipyard.
Joaquin made a secret calculation and found that the two warships were lost because the Macau army failed to defend them.
The council could not think of anything, but the compensation for the three Galen merchant ships and the three Fu ships It's a huge loss.
"Sir, the construction of the five Western-style sailing ships has been completed and sea trials have been carried out.
Now is the detailed construction of the internal cabins, which will be completed within five days.
Two of the three lucky ships are basically completed, but there is no sea trial.
Finally, A blessing boat has just been launched, only It can be said that we are floating on the water, even if we go all out, we can barely sail for more than ten days.
However, it is winter, and although there is no tailwind, there is no storm, so there is still hope of reaching it."
Zhang Gusheng gave a general report to the ships.
The current situation can be said to be a mixed blessing.
"Try your best to rush the work and tell the craftsmen to finish the work in ten days and the wages will be tripled."
Time is everything.
The longer you stay in Macau, the less safe it is.
It is impossible for all forces to attack Macau.
However, when leaving Hong Kong, they were ambushed halfway.
Several pirates The forces and the Dutch had the strength to do it, so Zhao Lie could only shorten the time and leave before the forces could react.
"Yes."
Zhang followed the order with the sound of drums.
"Mr.
Joaquin, don't worry.
The shipyard will receive the necessary compensation when the time comes.
I guarantee this."
Zhao Lie smiled and said to Joaquin.
Since a cooperation agreement has been reached with Macau, some things cannot be overdone.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
Joaquin said gratefully.
"The premise is to speed up the progress.
This is no problem."
Zhao Lie held the saber in his hand intentionally or unintentionally.
"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements right away."
Joaquin's eyes twitched and he immediately bowed and replied.
At the end of the afternoon, Zhao Lie came to the shop with an uneasy mood.
He really didn't know what kind of decision Alexandra had made.
If Alexandra didn't agree to go, could she still force it?
If she force it , this knot is difficult to solve.
After meeting, Alexandra smiled and served Zhao Lie a cup of hot tea.
"It's very cold today, drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

Zhao Lie was sure that it was probably good news, and he felt a lot more at ease.
"Miss went out today to inquire about the news and found out that all the merchants had returned home, and no one was injured or blackmailed.
I am still very happy, but Miss also suffered a bit of cold because of this."
Marta said rather unfairly .
Zhao Lie was overjoyed and said in his heart, Matamata, your performance today is really good and I can’t say enough about it.
I will remember you for now and you will be rewarded in the future.
"Mr.
Zhao Lie, I have an agreement with you."
Alexandra said.
I went, Zhao Lie choked out a mouthful of tea, and even Alexandra learned to make three chapters.
"Miss, please speak."
Zhao Lie wiped the water stains and said seriously.
“First, please do not blackmail Macau people until you leave Macau.
Second, if I get to the place and it doesn’t match what you said, I can come back right away.
Third, I would bring my own ship and escort.
"Alexandra stared at Zhao Lieyan and said.
"Yes, I can completely promise you."
Zhao Lie was overjoyed.
There was no need to blackmail the Macau people.
An agreement had already been reached.
As for deception, there was no deception.
It was also true that tens of thousands of Liao people in Shandong were living a difficult life.
Well, I’m not afraid that you don’t believe it, but I’m afraid that you won’t go.
"I hope you will swear in the name of our God, and then in the name of your great gods."
Marta's voice sounded at an inappropriate time, making Zhao Lie crazy.
I'll go and cancel the generous offer.
"I swear in the name of the Jade Emperor that I will not break my oath, otherwise I will enter the eighteenth level of hell.
I swear in the name of God that I will not break my oath, or else the water will drown me."
Zhao Lie has no fear of ghosts and gods, not to mention he doesn't think he said it What a lie, of course, there are small flaws.
Marta nodded with satisfaction.
In her opinion, since she swore in the name of God, it was worthy of belief.
Alexandra pursed her lips and smiled, extremely gentle.
"Actually, there are Macau council members, Portuguese soldiers, and craftsmen with you.
You will not be alone."
Zhao Lie understood Alexandra and Marta's worries, so he told the truth.
"I have formed an alliance with you Portuguese.
The Speaker has appointed you as the Portuguese representative to our army."
"Really, it's great."
Alexandra's eyes have turned into crescent moons, and she really has a beautiful face.
Zhao Lie was stunned for a moment.
Three days passed quickly.
During the three days, the sailors learned to maneuver the soft sails under the guidance of the Portuguese sailors.
Among them, it was unrealistic to use the horizontal sail, longitudinal sail, and gaff sail flexibly in such a short time.
However, in winter, There is no storm.
As long as you reach Shidao safely, it is victory.

There will be plenty of time to practice after returning.
This evening, everyone gathered in the cabin of Fuhai again.
“Three thousand one hundred and twenty-eight taels of gold and three hundred and thirty-six thousand, two hundred and thirty taels of silver.
There are more than 3,000 Portuguese Reis gold coins and more than 40,000 silver coins, 1,000 Portuguese Brazilian cross gold coins and more than 9,000 silver coins, 6,200 Spanish escudos and 3,000 horoscope gold coins.
There are more than 500 matchlocks, 26 sets of full body armor, and 65 sets of half body armor.
In total, there are eleven 24-pounder cannon, ten 18-pounder cannon, and two 12-pounder cannon in the warehouse and artillery factory.
Twelve, twenty-five nine-pounders, and twelve six-pounders.
Ten more cannons will be completed in three days.
One 350-ton warship, two 300-ton warships, two 200-ton warships, three 450-ton Galen merchant ships, and three 200-ton Fu ships.
One of the 300-ton warships was equipped with 32 guns, and the two 200-ton warships were equipped with a total of 20 guns.
Others have no cannon.
There are fifty-two Andalusian war horses, including twenty-eight stallions and twenty-four mares, and twenty-seven Luciano horses, including seventeen stallions and ten mares.
Two thousand catties of corn seeds, three thousand catties of red sweet potatoes, and eight thousand catties of white sweet potatoes. " Tang Xianwen finished reading the harvest with a thirsty mouth, and everyone was overjoyed.
"In addition, there are no statistics on raw silk, cotton, raw lacquer, porcelain, silk and other items that are difficult to convert into cash."
Since Zhao Lie has formed an alliance with Macau, he cannot take away everything.
Otherwise, Alonzo will really have to be fired.
It would be a surprise to get war horses and grain seeds here.
"In this way, keep 50,000 taels of silver, gold coins, and all silver coins.
The 50,000 taels of silver will be handed over to the shipyard.
The rest will begin to be loaded onto the ship.
In addition, the ships that are not equipped with cannons will be equipped with cannons.
Even if there is a shortage of manpower, it will be used as a pressure point.
Stone."
Zhao Lie gave the order, "The artillery factory took away three Portuguese artillerymen and three smelters, and two-thirds of the Han craftsmen.
Those with family members took them with them.
The shipyard followed suit.
In addition, it was announced that the monthly salary would be doubled, and each person would have a household allowance of 20 "Two, if anyone refuses to go, I'll tie him up."
In the following days, cannons were put on the ship, gold and silver were put on the ship, and three hundred matchlock guns were put on the ship.
Only the war horses were planned to be put on the ship one day in advance.
These are delicate things, and they don’t know how many of them will make it to the shore alive.
They are relying on them.
Zhao Lie has great hope.
On this day, Tang Xianwen brought a fat Ming man to see Zhao Lie.
"Sir, this person is Luo Changshan, a businessman from the Ming Dynasty.
Because he helped me introduce him to the meeting hall, he is deeply afraid that the Portuguese will settle accounts after we leave.
His hometown is Xiangshan County.
In the past, he followed the Portuguese too closely and even moved his family to Macau.
He is afraid of not being able to go back to the countryside.
Therefore, he plans to work for us.
"Tang Xianwen respectfully asks for your advice on this matter, but this matter still needs to be decided.
Zhao Lie heard Tang Xianwen talk about Fatty Tang and knew that he was a versatile character.
However, he also gained another understanding: he was decisive and had the courage to fight against all odds.
"Let him come in."
Zhao Lie ordered.
Tang Xianwen breathed a long sigh of relief.

In the past few days, Fatty Tang had pestered him crazy.
He was really a piece of brown candy.
He couldn't get rid of it.
Tang Xianwen had made a great contribution this time.
Fatty Tang could be considered a meritorious person.
Tang Xianwen really couldn't pull him away.
This face comes to refuse.
"Sir, little Luo Changshan is a maritime merchant of the Ming Dynasty in Macau.
Now he respects your virtue and is willing to follow your command.
I don't know if I can serve you in the future."
Luo Changshan asked with a smile on his face, feeling uneasy in his heart.
This Ming man was recommended by himself, and the Portuguese would definitely settle the score afterwards.
Since his hometown no longer tolerated him, following the man in front of him was his only way out.
"Of course, we welcome all businessmen who cooperate with our army," Zhao Lie responded with a smile and a kind attitude.
"The system we establish will be the same as that of Macao.
This time, we will specially hire Macao's deputies to help formulate this system."
The daily political affairs will be decided by the council in the general jurisdiction.”
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty can indeed learn from the affairs of the Macau Council."
The fat on Luo Changshan's face trembled, and he said with a charming smile, "My lord, this time I offer ten thousand taels of silver.
I hope you will accept it, please.
Please take care of me in the future.”
"No, I never accept donations.
Don't be polite, Mr.
Luo.
Please take it back.
As long as Mr.
Luo abides by the law, I will ensure that your business is prosperous."
Zhao Lie served tea to see the guests off.
"Well, Dongzhu Luo, if someone robs your merchant ship, I will definitely make the decision for you."
Zhao Lie finally said.
Luo Changshan bowed and thanked him.
Just now, he thought that he was not in the eyes of the master, so he did not accept the donation.
Now it seems that Mr.
Zhao really does not accept the donation.
It is really unprecedented.
Luo Changshan followed Tang Xianwen with suspicion. s Midnight please click to recommend and collect, it’s not easy for newbies
