In the morning, Qian Er assisted Jianghu Ying on the Hou Junji to replace a thirty-six-pound Tiago cannon.
A thin crack appeared in the lower part of the barrel of this gun, which was no longer enough for use.
He had to notify Jianghu Ying to replace it. .
Fortunately, the Shidao Craftsman Camp has now been fully resettled and can produce all ordnance, so major events will not be delayed.
Gao Haicheng chatted with Tiago.
This time, the five guns of three battleships needed to be replaced.
Tiago personally led the team.
After the replacement, the three battleships would go to sea to test the guns.
According to regulations, the craftsmen must follow.
If the new guns If the cannon fails to pass the test, the craftsman must bear full responsibility, so Tiago personally leads the team.
Qian Er, the second-class gunner, stayed on the artillery deck.
When the craftsman camp personnel hoisted the artillery onto the deck, Qian Er was surprised to find that Qian San was among more than ten craftsmen.
Aren't the third brother, my husband, and niece still on Shidao?
"Second brother, it turns out you are on this ship."
Qian San was very surprised.
There has been no news about his second brother at home for a year.
However, he understood that no news is good news.
If there was anything good about his second brother, someone would have come forward.
Let me tell you, this happened in the Takumi camp.
"Lao San, you have also come to Jeju.
Where are dad and Yaya."
Qian Er asked.
"Hey, my family sold the house for ten taels of silver, and they all came to Jeju with me.
My second brother is not at home all year round, but I can go home every day, so I moved dad and Yaya here together."
Qian San said Check out the situation at home.
As they were busy with work, Qian San said that his family mostly lived in a residential building in the craftsman's camp, and the two of them started working separately.
Tiago went out to sea with the ship to test the cannon, and everything went well. evening.
Qian Er asked for leave from Captain Wang Qiang.
At this time, the fleet was resting in Jeju.
After rotation training, Wang Qiang immediately granted three days of leave.
When Qian Er came to Jianghu Camp the next day, he was also surprised by the hugeness of Jianghu Camp.
Half of the mountain spreading under the hill was the site of Jianghu Camp, which was divided into cannon-making, muskets, armor, and gunpowder. , test gun range.
Residential areas.
Qian Er inquired about Qian San's residence in the residential area.
There were three tile-roofed houses, all of which were newly built.
Qian Er's meeting with his father and niece was another surprise.
Qian Er handed over the seventy taels of silver he had saved over the past year to his father.
This money included three taels of silver per month and a reward for traveling south.
Dad sent a message to the two brothers to put it in the bank and find a wife for them in a few days.
The family should have a wife long ago.
Zhao Lie received a Jeju document at Shidao Government Office.
Huang Han reported to him that two soldiers fought over a wife and were severely punished by the governor.
One was imprisoned for ten days.
One is a month of confinement.
Well, this reflects the extremely imbalanced ratio of men and women in their own territory.

Many Liao residents who were able to escape to various places were young and strong.
Men accounted for two-thirds of the more than 200,000 Liao residents.
Earlier, Without enough food and clothing every day, who can even think about starting a family in a few years?
Many Liao people served as soldiers and had some money and food, so it was natural for them to want to start a family and start a business.
However, how can more than 100,000 men start a family and find so many women?
Zhao Lie grinned.
Really, food, clothing, housing, transportation, starting a family, and starting a business are all my business.
I am really the official of my parents.
Seeing Zhao Lie grinning after reading the document, Alexandra understood that Zhao Lie was in trouble again.
After being with Zhao Lie for a long time, she certainly understood that Zhao Lie was the center of his territory, and all kinds of tedious and unexpected things could happen.
I need his decision, my heart is too tired.
Alexandra looked at Zhao Lie with questioning eyes.
She hoped that Zhao Lie would talk more and not keep everything in mind and carry it on her shoulders.
She said that she couldn't help, and she wanted Zhao Lie to talk more.
Feel more at ease.
Zhao Lie gave a rough explanation, "Yali, if you are richer, I wish I could use the money to buy some women.
I can't let hundreds of thousands of people be single and homeless."
Alexandra must have hated the purchase of women in the past, but as she lived in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, she also experienced a lot of helplessness.
There were human traffickers all over the Ming Dynasty, and people, especially women and children, were bought and sold in many places.
They are all semi-legitimate and cannot be eliminated at all.
If the women bought by the Polu army were only used as wives for Liao people and soldiers, it would be better than being sold into brothels or kept as children in houses.
However, she did not discuss this issue out of disgust in her heart.
"Lie, we in Portugal and Spain use gold and silver coins as currency, but you use silver coins directly.
Do you have any here..."
Before Alexandra could finish speaking, Zhao Lie had already stepped forward and hugged her.
He caught her and kissed her red lips deeply.
He didn't let her go until she was almost out of breath.
"Yali, you are so smart.
Your suggestion helped me a lot."
Zhao Lie shouted excitedly.
Alexandra raised her lips slightly, looked around with a red face, and then looked at Zhao Lie angrily.
Zhao Lie hurriedly apologized.
He understood that Alexandra was afraid that Marta would blame her for violating God's teachings after seeing it.
After all, they were not married yet and they had to pay attention to maintaining chastity.
Zhao Lie immediately ordered people to convene Zhao Meng and Tang Xianwen for a discussion.
At the same time, he felt a lot of hatred in his heart.
Damn, he was still a time traveler.
How profitable the currency issuance business will be in future generations is controlled by the governments of various countries through the central bank.
This saves expenses.
Why didn't he remember the matter and had to rely on a seventeenth-century Western woman to realize it after asking for it?
It's really worrying about his IQ.
It's best to do it here.
Most of the people are currently in Jeju and Bukhua, where the new currency gold and silver coins are implemented.
It's just a matter of making molds and issuing coins.
One tael of gold can be used to make more than twenty coins.

The same is true for gold coins and silver coins, not to mention copper coins.
Of course, molding, stamping, issuance, recovery, and destruction will all bring costs, but they will still bring several times the benefits.
If gold and silver coins are used for military pay, object sales, etc. in Jeju and Bukhwa Island, then Zhao Lie will save A large amount of money also firmly controls the economy of the territory.
"Coining gold, silver and copper coins," Zhao Meng hesitated, "In the Ming Dynasty, privately minting coins was a crime of beheading.
Although it was implemented in Jeju and Beihua Island, the navy and infantry and cavalry were mobile everywhere at any time, and they would bring gold coins with them.
Enter Shidao, Shandong.
"If the matter is revealed, it will be a disaster for the Zhao family.
"It might as well be that the navy and infantry and cavalry troops are transferred to Shidao for official business and use silver taels to exchange their food, salary, gold and silver coins for silver taels.
As for the individual gold and silver coins flowing into Shidao and Shandong, there is no big problem.
It should be noted that Guangdong, Fujian and other places also go in and out of France.
The gold and silver coins of the robots and the Dutch were just accepted by the local governments," Zhao Lie said.
Even in the closed environment of Jeju Island and Beihua Island, Zhao Lie made a lot of money by issuing gold, silver and copper coins.
As for Shidao, that was a matter for the future, so Zhao Lie was not in a hurry.
Zhao Meng also nodded.
As long as it didn't flow into Shidao and Shandong in large quantities, there wouldn't be any big mistakes.
"Sir, if this coinage is implemented, our wealth will be greatly increased.
It will be of unparalleled help in your affairs.
Your method is really wonderful."
Tang Xianwen sighed.
Seeing that most of the important matters around him came from Zhao Lie's ideas, Tang Xianwen was I sincerely admire you.
"This is not my idea."
Zhao Lie shook his head in shame.
"Oh, second brother, who came up with this idea?
Could it be that the second brother came up with the reward?"
Zhao Meng was also curious, could it be that the second brother came up with the method after giving out the reward.
"This is Miss Alexandra's idea."
Zhao Lie said calmly.
"My lord, you have found such a virtuous wife.
Miss Alexandra not only takes care of the refugees, is brave enough to go into battle, and is also knowledgeable about internal affairs.
It is a blessing for our subordinates to have such a lord and wife."
Tang Xianwen hurriedly complimented.
Zhao Meng also nodded in agreement.
I really didn’t expect that Alexandra was really the second brother’s lucky star.
She spread benevolence and righteousness everywhere for the second brother, and she also came up with such ingenious methods for Zhao Lie.
She really helped a lot.
These two things are worthy of her.
The word "capable".
"Haha, Yali has indeed helped a lot, but I still have a long-term vision and have taken a liking to Yali long ago."
Zhao Lie was very proud.
They all said that the girl I fell in love with was a Yiren woman.
Now look at Alexander.
What kind of person is La?
I am the only one who knows people with a discerning eye.
"Your Excellency is wise, and your eyes are as bright as a torch."
Tang Xianwen agreed.

Zhao Meng smiled and said nothing, indicating his agreement.
Only then did Zhao Lie sit down and sip his tea with satisfaction.
He felt very happy today.
Some people had always made irresponsible remarks about his choice of a Xiyi woman.
Looking at it this time, it was this Xiyi woman whose advice was worth a thousand pieces of gold.
No, , ten thousand gold.
There was a knock on the door.
Amidst the sound of Zhao Lie coming in, Du Li walked in.
"Sir, the Commander of the Guard, Mr.
Chang, may have paid private visits to various offices below incognito recently, which may be detrimental to you."
Du Li stepped forward to report.
Damn, this old guy is really as persistent as a hungry wolf, pressing every step of the way.
He is really disgusting.
Zhao Lie's good mood just now was wiped out.
There is really no good way to deal with this immediate boss, but...
As soon as this person arrived at Shidao, he acted frequently, which showed that Zhao Lie was very eager to deal with him.
Zhao Lie had to be careful not to capsize.
Zhao Lie immediately ordered that the Wei Qing and several other Galen warships be transferred to Dashanzi Island immediately, and at the same time eliminate all irregularities on Shidao, and wait for the arrival of the Commander Wei.
Fortunately, Shidao's saltworks, craftsmen's camp, shipyard, and Polu Army and Water Infantry all moved to Jeju.
There were no major violations, and there were only more than 20,000 refugees left.
Even if Chang Runing came in person, he would still find it.
It doesn't matter.
Zhao Meng and Tang Xianwen immediately left and led their subordinates to follow Zhao Lie's orders.
The purpose was to prevent Chang Runing from seeing what he wanted to see and to make sure that he returned empty-handed.
During meal time, Shidao became commotion.
Zhao Lie sent a red official letter with a white feather to Jeju Ma Tao and Huang Han, which stated that Jeju would establish a separate place and secretly summon craftsmen from the craftsmen's camp to cast gold, silver and copper coins.
First, they would cast molds and start die-casting. sample.
Zhao Lie specified that the content of gold, silver, and copper must be 90% or above, otherwise he may encounter resistance from the people in the future, causing the issuance to collapse.
In order to facilitate the casting of Shidao, Zhao Lie marked in his mind that the diameter of the gold, silver, and copper coins should be nearly one inch.
One-twelfth of an inch thick, the gold, silver, and copper coins are usually attached with a pattern of Bukhwa Island on the front and a pattern of Jeju Island on the back.
They were first painted, and then used to cast the gold, silver, and copper coins using the paintings
