Chapter 940 Li Chongyi's Mind

"Prepare!" a loud roar!

There were thousands of blue waves, and a 'fountain' suddenly appeared on the sea ahead. The sailors in charge of looking at it immediately shouted. They searched for many days and finally found the target.

The screaming sailors skillfully turned the rudder and took off the sail. Countless people held steel forks in their hands and prepared crossbow arrows. Their eyes were red and their eyes were as sharp as swords.

Manager Xiao shouted so hard that his throat was smoking: "Don't be excited, don't be excited... Let's talk about it when you get close, let's talk about it when you get close, be more at ease, don't yell, who will scare the whale away?"

Li Chongyi walked back and forth with a giant spear in his hand. After the last fight, he found that the axe in his hand was not very useful when dealing with a whale, so when he returned to the shore, he found the best blacksmith in Yangzhou City and made him a giant spear of 108 pounds. The shape of a trident was held in Li Chongyi's hand, which made him look like a sea king.

With the experience of the last time, I was not so panicked when I met a whale this time. Everything was done step by step, and everyone knew what they should do.

The entire ship entered a combat state and instantly transformed into a combat beast.

This is the second whale they searched for at sea for three days before finding. This time, without fear, the whale is no longer an unbeatable nightmare in their eyes. On the contrary, it is a mountain of gold.

The whale caught last time, finally calculated that each person was given more than twenty guan. He used to wander on the sea for several months, but he could not get this number even if he died. Now, we all have almost no risk of catching whales with the ten thousand stone ship. Isn’t this the same as picking up money?

The crossbow arrow finally shot out.

At the same time, countless steel forks were projected out like rain of arrows.

Immediately afterwards, all members grabbed anything they could hold on to and faced the storm.

What is this called? The Marquis said it, and I couldn't remember it for a moment. Manager Xiao murmured, and suddenly slapped his head, remembering it. The Marquis said, this is called a practical exercise! Facing the strongest opponent at sea, when you encounter an enemy in the future, you will definitely hold it in your hand.

It is useful, it is indeed useful! Look at this high morale, look at this unafraid and unretreated spirit, more than 200 people are directed by their arms, like one person, with close cooperation with almost no gaps and calmness in the face of danger, all show the potential of this navy and let him see hope.

This is a powerful soldier in a hundred battles. If there were such a sailor in Nanliang back then, at least he could have divided the river with Li Tang and ruled... That's right, Zhanggui Xiao was an admiral of the Nanliang Navy back then. However, time passed and the past had gone with the wind.

But he knew everything about water wars. Li Mu did not point it out, but asked him to be responsible for training sailors. The project was also stipulated, that is, go to sea to catch whales. The whales were full of treasures, and there was no need to be too many.

The giant whale fluttered in the sea with a huge momentum. At this time, the helmsman had experience. He would try his best to adjust the rudder through subtle rudder rotation, relying on the current wind direction, wind power, and the power of the waves, and try his best to avoid the damage caused to the Chang'an before the giant whale was dying.

The helmman was holding a chicken leg that didn't have much meat in his mouth.

This is his privilege because he is the helmsman. Not everyone can do it. This is a scarce talent.

On the boat, only he has chicken legs to eat, which is a preferential treatment for talents.

Therefore, although the meat has been gnawed almost, the frame must be kept at any time, taken out from time to time and licked. The frame is a symbol of glory, demonstrating the difference between the helmsman and ordinary poor people.

It's unfair, right? It's just that unfair, but no one dares to fart, not for anything else, because this ship is in his hands. If someone has this ability, you can do it!

After a huge wave tumbling, the giant whale finally stopped flapping, and the sea gradually returned to calm.

The howling shouts and swearing sounds finally stopped gradually.

The record this time is one hour and one quarter of an hour! It’s much faster than the first time!

"Return!"

The happy sailors whistled and prepared to return.

Occasionally, someone was beaten by Manager Xiao on the side of the ship and squirted wildly, pointing out the mistakes in the battle just now. Manager Xiao always raised the matter to a critical level of life and death. Although the sailors disagreed, Li Mu's order was to obey Manager Xiao's arrangements, and they all listened very seriously.

After the Wanshi ship returned to the port and arrived at Yangzhou Port the next day, the giant whales no longer had to be treated by sailors. Gu Sizhi's logistics support work was still very good. Now, Yangzhou Port has a complete team responsible for handling whales. Starting from peeling, cutting meat, refining oil and making waxes, people are responsible for every link, and assembly line operations have been formed.

They recruited hundreds of people to peel giant whales. Whale skin can be used to make clothes. Now on the market, many people are looking for purchases. On the one hand, they can show their identity, and on the other hand, they are very comfortable to wear. The remaining feces in the whale's belly are also treasures and can be used as fertilizer. As long as they are taken out, many people will carry the burden to fight for it. Although it is a bit smelly, it is better to have no money, right?

Oil can be refined, not only made into candles, but also used as soap. The soap made of whale oil is smoother to use. The heart and liver have a unique flavor, and people prefer this bite, and the price is more expensive than whale meat. As for the most substantial whale meat, there is no need to mention it. Since Li Mu announced the recipe of Liu Sanshao, whale meat has replaced the large livestock meat on the market and has become a must-have delicacy on the Yangzhou Port table.

The renovation project of Suizhou Yangzhou Port and the construction project in Mingzhou have been promoted, and the number of craftsmen recruited has become increasingly large. People with some skills have begun to stop working in farming, but live around the wharf and rent out the fields in their hands. This is a cheaper family like the Gu family, and they can also earn more than a portion of their income by relying on large-scale farming. In the past, this was a good opportunity for land annexation, but under the supervision of Li Mu, the contract was signed on a yearly basis, and there were no loopholes to exploit, and the interests of the people could be guaranteed.

After returning to Yangzhou Port, after a short rest, the routine exercise resumed. The rooster crowed and the drums were sounded. The sailors with big arms and round waists were full of energy, and each carried weapons on the deck and began to practice. The shouts of exercise on the deck were accompanied by the noisy hawking sounds of the port market, which made each other interesting.

In just a few months, Yangzhou Port became different because of Li Mu's arrival. It seemed as if a pool of stagnant water was stirred up and injected with infinite vitality. Everyone was full of energy. Working for their own tomorrow, Li Mu brought them something called dreams.

The sailors were practicing the "Three Talent Formation" under the scorching sun. These Three Talent Formation are family-borne formations of the Zhu family in Wu. Since the Three Kingdoms period, they have experienced countless practical tests and finally obtained the essence. They were not passed down by the children of the family, but at the request of Li Mu, they also contributed.

Among them, the third masters are divided into different sizes. The third masters form is to turn the formation of two ranks into horizontal teams. The captain holds the card in the center, with a hook and sickle on the left and right. The hook and sickle on the left and right are two long spears and one card, and the short soldiers are behind... At the same time, countless small arrays, with wolf teeth intertwined together, forming a long snake-like cross-section.

The so-called hook sickle is a special weapon, similar to a long sickle with blades on both sides, which are specially designed to deal with the enemy's lower three routes, and cannot be defended. At the same time, the spearmen wait for an opportunity to attack, as a supplement, and the licensed soldiers serve as defense.

When the Zhu family presented the formation, they had a complete demonstration. However, Li Mu didn't understand it much, but he believed that the formation that could be passed down must have great lethality. As long as you practice hard, you will definitely be able to achieve results. Based on the principle of not doubting people and not using people, Li Mu handed over the training of sailors to Zhu Tai, the second son of the Zhu family leader, and asked him to set up a team with Manager Xiao to be responsible for forming combat power for the Chang'an.

The main thing about the sea is that Manager Xiao is responsible for the training of the junior and third talent formation. Although he is much younger than Manager Xiao, his rigor is far better than Manager Xiao. He is meticulous in everything he does, like a robot. The same movements are asked to be practiced by the sailors a hundred times or a thousand times. He always carries a whip in the queue. Even if the sun is burning, his whole body is sweating profusely, and the sweat sticks to his eyes, it is very uncomfortable. He doesn't care. He has implemented the matter of setting an example to the end.

The sailors held their spears again and again, using their hooks and sickles, making their throats smoke. The shield hands raised their shields again and again, lowered their shields, and raised them again...

Such exercises are very physically consuming, but the sailors have no complaints.

They have the simplest concept that whoever supports themselves should make efforts for. The treatment they enjoy is already excellent. Even if the exercise is very hard, there is nothing to complain about compared to what they get.

Their skin was burned by the scorching sun and they were stripped off layer after layer of skin. They felt like they were in a steamer, greasy and watery.

But there was a firm light flashing in these eyes!

They want to make money, support their families, and more importantly, they want to conquer the sea of ​​stars as the Marquis said!

...

Whenever this time, Li Mu would stand on a cliff and look at the rolling waves under the cliff! When he looked at the sea level in the distance, he always felt a little indescribable melancholy.

At this time, Li Mu likes to be alone and does not allow anyone to follow him. Only when it’s time to eat will Li Chongyi come to him. Li Mu sometimes changes places, but Li Chongyi can always find him accurately.

"Brother, it's time to have a meal."

"Oh." Li Mu responded without looking back.

Li Chongyi was silent for a while and said, "Brother, it's time..."

"I understand." Li Mu waved his hand, suddenly pointed to the sea in front of him, and said, "Big man, you said that the world is so big that it is beyond people's imagination. Just talk about this sea, do you know what is at the end of the sea?"

Li Chongyi shook his head, of course he didn't know.

Li Mu sighed again and said, "You said that brothers, can we walk through this world in our lives?"

Li Chongyi still didn't answer, maybe he hadn't thought about this question. He was silent, and a huge figure fell under the sunset with his tall body. He looked up, looked at the sunset, felt the waves beating the cliffs under his feet, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know if I can't finish walking, but I'll be where my brother is."

"Will you miss your family?"

"My family is dead."

Li Mu stood up, his clothes were blown by the sea breeze, and he smiled and glanced at Li Chongyi.

"Is it true that I am hiding my mind with my elder brother? Isn't you going to explain it to my elder brother?"

Li Chongyi seemed to be touched by something suddenly, and his eyes suddenly seemed a little quiet and confused, and said, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know how to say it - brother, I should have killed her, but I can't do it."

"Tell me in detail."

"She is my wife who has not passed the door."

"Oh! So it's a brother and sister!" Li Mu was about to say a few words, but he heard Li Chongyi say: "But if her father hadn't betrayed my father, my father wouldn't have died at the hands of my uncle!"

Li Mu's words were put back. Li Chongyi's IQ was really hard to deal with in this bloody plot. No wonder he returned to Chang'an and placed the woman, but he never met again.

"What are you going to do?"

Li Chongyi thought about it and shook his head, as if he didn't want to say it, but the person he was facing was Li Mu. He hesitated for a moment and said, "We have been together since we were young. I may like her. But she asked me to promise that I can't kill her father. I can't do it. If I want to avenge my father, I must kill her father. But she said that if her father died at my hands, she would commit suicide - I don't know what to do!"

"So after you came back, you never mentioned revenge?"

"Yes." Li Chongyi lowered his head. Obviously, this incident made him feel uneasy.

Li Mu suddenly remembered a question and said, "How did you meet her?"

"His father wants to marry him to Lee Ji-eun's uncle. I discovered it and snatched it out!"

Li Chongyi always called Li Zhien directly. In his heart, there was only one sister-in-law, that is Bai Qiaoqiao. Now he respected Wang Ou. After all, Wang Ou also gave birth to a daughter for Li Mu, but he was still very cold to other sister-in-laws.

Li Mu never cared about such things. Brothers are brothers and wifes are wifes. He did not force his brothers to recognize his women's problems. However, Li Mu still felt a little incredible about what Li Chongyi said, which was a bit coincidental.

"There must be a solution to things, and you can't hide all the time. Why not do this? Send someone to take her over and I'll talk to her and see what she means. Your father is gone, I am your eldest brother, and the elder brother is like a father. If the conflict between you two is unreconciled, you should make a decision early and put her back. It's not good to be trapped in this way. What should I do? A man is a real man, open and honest!"

Li Chongyi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I've heard from my elder brother!"
