Chapter 576 Su Yan Returns
At around the early morning of September 19th in the third year of Tianxuan, Sylvia Ocean took the navy and escorted all the prisoners and warships captured in the anti-Yizhen alliance naval battle back to the south port of Jidao.
Although the navy lost more than 70 warships in this battle, and more warships were damaged, and more than 40,000 naval soldiers were killed or missing, but Sylvia Ocean did not have a moment to reorganize and rest the navy.
Just replaced 100 intact warships non-stop, took more than 200 troop carriers, and went directly to Yancheng Port of Liuwang Principality, where Su Yan and the remaining troops who went to Liuwang Principality to help Su Yan restore the country were waiting. The navy of Yizhen territory went to pick it up.
In fact, the 100,000 third-tier fighters secretly trained by Sunan in Liuwang Principality and the army that went to Liuwang Principality have all assembled in Yancheng Port of Liuwang Principality, waiting for the navy of Yizhen territory to take them back to Yizhen territory.
Su Yan also gave Sunan a full 100,000 gold coins according to Qu Mao's instructions, and asked Sunan to continue recruiting and training a group of secret soldiers in Liuwang Principality when these troops returned to the territory of Yizhen to fight against the Mughal Empire. Warriors, this time there is no limit to the total number of 100,000, nor is it limited to third-tier fighters. As long as Sunan has the ability, the higher the fighter's rank, the better, and the more fighters recruited and trained, the better.
At 9:00 p.m. on September 19th in the third year of Tianxuan, Sylvia Ocean has already brought back all the troops from the Liuwang Principality back to the Island of Yi, and almost all of the temporary docks, civilian docks, and naval vessels outside the Fisherman Village of the Island of Yi were parked. Barracks and Isle of Easy Naval Port.
Su Yan disembarked directly from the temporary pier outside the fisherman's village. In fact, the outside of the fisherman's village is not called a temporary pier anymore. After all, the Liuwang Principality's first reinforcements brought more than 2,000 craftsmen with them. Build a pier outside the fisherman's village.
The fisherman's village is still closer to Yi Town, so when Li Xiang suggested that Qu Mao transform the pier outside the fisherman's village into a permanent pier, Qu Mao agreed without saying a word.
Su Yan chose to go ashore at the pier outside the fisherman's village because she also considered that the pier outside the fisherman's village was closer to Yi Town.
Disembarking at the pier of the fisherman's village, Su Yan didn't even ride a war horse, and trotted back to the lord's hut in Yi Town. However, the heroes who were in the meeting had already dispersed, and Su Yan returned to the lord's hut with a 50-year-old man. old lady.
Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui greeted Su Yan together. The first time Su Yan saw Liu Qianhui, she felt a faint sense of crisis, but she didn't pay much attention at the moment.
After returning to the living room of the lord's cabin, Qu Mao pointed directly at the old lady behind Su Yan and asked, "Su Yan, who is this?"
Su Yan said: "My lord, this is Huang Po, a famous spinning master in Sangcheng of Liuwang Principality. The idea of weaving she mentioned is very meaningful to my subordinates, so I plan to introduce her to you, my lord."
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Well, but now that there are millions of prisoners of war in the territory of Yi Town, the handling of this matter will be more urgent."
Su Yan said: "My lord, Lord Xinping has already reported to his subordinates that the number of prisoners of war in our territory exceeded the standard, but the matter of Huang Po is even simpler.
Arrangements can be made in a few words. If the idea of weaving can be realized, we can arrange thousands or even tens of thousands of people within a week or two, and prisoners of war can also be engaged in weaving.
Master, you held a meeting with Master Kong Ming and Master Xuande last night to discuss the handling of prisoners of war, and Master Xuande also told his subordinates.
On the way back, my subordinates were thinking, if Huang Po’s idea is realized, we will build a weaving factory near the outlying island reservoir village, and then excavate the water conservancy project in Gandao. After the Gandao water conservancy project can realize hydropower, we can continue The construction of a weaving factory on Dry Island, after such a series of actions, even hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war can be resettled.
It just so happened that Huang Po had an idea in this regard, so the subordinates brought her directly to see you, my lord. In fact, Huang Po's family has a total of 19 people from three generations, and they are still on the troop carrier. What about the families of the 10,000 Celebrity Prince's hidden third-tier fighters? "
Your family, I plan to resettle in Dry Island. The territory will help your family build the house, and some cultivated land will be allocated, but in the short term you may have to build a weaving factory near the outlying island reservoir village. You can return to Dry Island only after the weaving factory is built in Dry Island.
Do you think this arrangement is okay? "
Huang Po bowed her hands and saluted, and said: "Yes, everything is arranged by the lord.
The servant girl is just an ordinary textile worker in Sangcheng, and she usually has some unrealistic ideas. His Royal Highness the Third Princess does not dislike the slaves being old and frivolous, and if they are treated with courtesy, the slaves will naturally do their best.
As for the others, you can arrange them, my lord. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "You don't have to be polite, I heard from Su Yan that you have some ideas about weaving equipment, can you briefly talk about it?"
Huang Po said: "My lord, now the Liuwang Principality is mainly housewives who spin yarn at home. After the yarn is spun, the weavers will weave the yarn into cloth. A housewife with quick hands and feet can do it in ten days. Woven into a foot of cloth, very slowly.
Ten years ago, the servants thought of a hand-operated loom, which was adopted by the workshop owner. Although the spun cloth was about a foot narrower than the hand-spun cloth, one person could spun three feet of cloth a day. , the efficiency has been improved a lot.
Now the servant is thinking that the hand-loom is limited by the width of the arms of a person, if two people control a hand-loom, then the disadvantage of the narrow cloth can be eliminated..."
Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "You ask Kong Ming to draw a sketch of the hand-operated loom you invented before, and I will modify it for you later."
Although he didn't know what the loom invented by Huang Po looked like, Qu Mao vaguely felt that it was somewhat similar to the loom in the distant history of another world.
Immediately Qu Mao said to Su Yan: "Su Yan, there are 19 people in Mrs. Huang's family, and they should be arranged according to the standards of the hero's family."
Su Yan said: "Yes, my lord, the subordinates must make arrangements."
"Tomorrow morning, arrange the fifth-rank court guards to **** Huang Po to find Kong Ming. Huang Po's family will send the navy to Gandao for resettlement tomorrow." Qu Mao continued.
Su Yan glanced at the time and said, "My lord, it's already ten o'clock in the evening. When will you have a meeting tomorrow?"
Qu Mao said: "Let Kong Ming and Huang Po have a good communication tomorrow morning, and just bring the drawings to the meeting in the afternoon."
Su Yan nodded and said, "The subordinate will wake up early tomorrow morning to inform..."
Qu Mao interrupted Su Yan with a wave of his hand, and said: "Liu Qianhui has officially surrendered to our Yizhen territory, you can directly arrange for her to do something."
Su Yan glanced at Liu Qianhui and nodded.
