Chapter 70: Arrived at midnight

  Chapter 70 Arriving at midnight

  After dark, Sunan took over the helm of the flagship. During the whole process, several sailors wanted to replace Sunan, but Sunan refused.

  That is to say, since 6 pm, Sunan has been sailing for six or seven hours in a row, but this is not the crux of the problem.

  Hearing Sunan's call, Qu Mao opened his eyes and asked, "Is that the firelight of our Yidao? Isn't it enough to keep the bonfire at night, and people don't waste firewood to make the bonfire so prosperous in the middle of the night."

  Su Nan said lightly: "My lord, there is no doubt that it is our Island of Yi, and my subordinates have promised you that they will definitely come back.

  Her Royal Highness knows her subordinates quite well. The bonfire is burning so vigorously, it must be specially arranged by Her Royal Highness, she is showing us the direction. "

It took nearly another hour, and the ship led by Sunan finally arrived at the Yidao Civil Wharf. The first ship sent a message to the four rear ships on the way, and they had already lowered their main and auxiliary sails. The first ship is about to approach On the pier, it is natural to notify the rear ship to drop anchor.

  With the help of the bonfire in the small village of Mingang, 500 meters away, Qu Mao could vaguely see that the remaining ship was now firmly parked on the side of the civilian pier. On the other side, 60 meters away, is the wharf under construction. There are no sailors on duty at night, and only some wooden pillars are exposed to the sea at this moment.

  Su Nan rang the bell of the captain's cabin, and two third-tier princess guards walked into the captain's cabin after a while. Half a day after the boat sailed, the third-tier princess guards found their own equipment and put on all of them.

  Su Nan said to the two third-tier princess guards: "Notify the distance between the rear ship and the dock again, and the rest of the ships slow down, anchor one by one, do not collide, and dock two sea ships for the first time.

  Materials can be transported by hand after dawn, but all the people on board can disembark first and go to the small village of Mingang to find a place to rest first.

  After getting off the boat, send someone to inform the princess. The princess is living in Mingang Village with the bonfire at the moment. "

"yes!"

  After Sunan's ship docked, the second sea-going ship also stopped at another berth at the civilian wharf about 10 minutes later.

The sailors had already jumped off the ship, and ran back to Minggang Village to inform Su Yan to pick up the ship, while a total of 100 third-tier princess guards on the two berthed ships had already disembarked immediately, standing on the pier bridge in unison to command the personnel disembark.

   Less than half an hour later, Su Yan hurried over. Just as she stepped onto the plank road, the third-tier princess guards who lit torches shouted in unison: "Long live Your Royal Highness!"

  Su Yan waved her hand and said: "Put away the weapons and help the people on board to land. The ship will not unload the cargo first, and after putting the people down, drive to the side and anchor.

  All the leaders of the small village of Minggang woke up and came to the pier to help carry the supplies, and by the way, vacated the residences in the territory for the passengers returning from the long voyage to rest.

  All crew members on board must be properly settled before three in the morning, and the cargo must be unloaded before dawn. "

  After giving the order, Su Yan went directly to Qu Mao, bowed and saluted, "My lord has worked hard all the way, and my subordinates welcome you back!"

   Qu Mao nodded wearily, and said, "Su Yan, you board the boat with me, use your own backpack to unload with me!"

   After speaking, Qu Mao first released the materials in his backpack to the cliff beside the pier, and then took Su Yan to board the ship to unload the goods. There are two heroes' backpacks, so unloading should not be too easy.

  The third-tier princess guards escorted the skilled workers and their families who got off the ship, and went to the small village of Minggang to find a residence in the territory to rest.

  The old man named Juli in the territory now has only Zhang Da and Jia Sixie, who have already been surprised by the silence and took the initiative to help resettle them.

  After unloading the two sea ships that were moored for the first time, Su Yan arranged for the sailors of Minggang Xiaocun to drive aside the original sea ship and the two sea ships that had been unloaded, and called the next three sea ships to dock.

  Under the light of the torches in the hands of the leaders of Mingang Village, the entire Mingang Village Wharf is like daytime.

Taking advantage of the time when the ships were exchanging berths, Qu Mao pulled Su Yan aside and said, "Su Yan, there were five male captives and two female servants on the last sea ship, and you managed to recruit them. Individuals must all swear allegiance to the territory of Yi Village and become a leader of Yi Village, and they are not allowed to be just a dependent relationship like others.

  The two servants are of ordinary aptitude, but they are good at cooking, so they can be sent back to the territory of Yi Village to help Su Qiaoer share the cooking task. As for the other five men, I have other arrangements after the recruitment.

  Don't worry about the command value, our command value is enough.

   250 third-tier princess guards, select the squad leader, squadron leader and team leader, and the officers need to be the leaders. "

   "Yes, my lord, this subordinate will do it immediately." Su Yan saluted respectfully.

Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "I've been really tired these days. The first thing I unloaded was grain. A bag of grain was 200 units, a total of 1,500 bags. I bought 10 poor horses and some young animals. The grain is estimated You have to send it back to Yi Village with your backpack yourself, and Sunan can arrange for the cubs to be sent back to Yi Village.

  Production tools and living tools will also be distributed as soon as possible. I'll go to sleep first, and I'll thank you here. "

  Su Yan hurriedly said: "My lord, it's been hard work for you, you can go to rest. This subordinate will take care of all this before dawn, please rest assured, my lord.

  10 rough horses can be used as post horses. Now that there are more people and enough food, we can even consider building roads from Yi Village to Fisherman Village and from Fisherman Village to Mingang Village at the same time. Unfortunately, there is no blueprint for the construction of the post station..."

Qu Mao had already turned around and was about to go back to rest. Hearing what Su Yan said, he turned back and said, "Su Yan, give priority to sending food to Yi Village and the small fisherman's village under construction; secondly, the distribution of production tools, especially Units that cannot be used for on-duty production must be equipped with production tools as soon as possible, otherwise our efficiency will not improve.

The third priority is to accommodate more than 120 new skilled workers and their families. Some families even brought cats, dogs, chickens and ducks, and most of them brought iron pots. They should not be too bad. caught.

  Now that there is enough food, and the production tools are basically iron, the two-day road and the salt field can be started simultaneously.

  The conversion speed of poor-quality cultivated land will also increase, and the food brought back from Yancheng is estimated to only last for about one and a half months, so hunting cannot be stopped..."

  Su Yan hurriedly said: "My lord, this subordinate knows, you should go to rest first, and just leave it to the subordinate to arrange.

  Mingang Village has prepared a first-class residence for you. You can ask Zhang Da or Jia Sixie. If you really don’t want to look for it, you can continue to live in your territorial residence. It just so happens that the subordinates will arrange the furniture for you tonight. "

Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the first-order residential house would be built so quickly, so he nodded, and walked straight to Mingang Village, not bothering to find the first-order residential house, Qu Mao got into the residential house in his territory, fell to the ground asleep.
