Chapter 27 City within a city

At night, Qin Shou's call was called. Except for the three scumbag brothers who did not arrive, the rest of the people were all here. Even the Shitian shipbuilding engineers came to attend the banquet for Qin Shou. After everyone arrived, the guards outside the door immediately closed the door of the hall to avoid unnecessary news leaking out.

As the saying goes, "It is hard to prevent thieves from being on guard against each other, and Qin Shou doesn't know if there are any spies on the island. There is always nothing wrong with safety. Most of the people who are invited by Qin Shou in front of him are their own teams, and a small number are outsiders. To be precise, they are walking together because of some interests, such as the village chiefs with larger villages, and there is a vague trend of developing a town.

Li Ke sat aside and drank, looking at the people around him who were talking quietly, shook his head and said nothing. Li Ke didn't know whether he was planning to usurp the throne, because Qin Shou started to have crazy ideas again, which were crazy and entangled, and developed Liu Qiu to form a central city that was even better than Chang'an.

Li Ke did not think that Qin Shou could not compete with the Tang Dynasty when he asked Liu to be a base. On the contrary, as long as Qin Shou was happy, it would be a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty changed its ownership. His gunboat alone could sweep the entire Tang Dynasty naval army. Without the firepower of cannons, I am afraid that Boss Li's armored army would only seek death in the face of cannons. It is clear who wins and loses when the hot weapons and cold weapons collide.

If Qin Shou's fat chickens were being produced in large quantities, it was not a dream to sweep the entire continent, but the premise was that strategic resources seriously plagued Qin Shou. Qin Shou held the first night banquet meeting of Liu Qiu this time, the main problem was to grasp strategic resources and development leaders together, especially the soldiers' clothes to keep warm were the first to solve.

When winter comes, we have to deal with the soldiers' clothes to protect the cold, so we can only rely on Hongfu Nu for the time being. It may be a bit difficult to deal with the witch. This witch sister is not easy to deal with, so she has to start with Zixuan. If she has her help, I believe Hongfu Nu will submit and give priority to the soldiers' clothes to protect the cold.

Xue Rengui walked in with his scarred body. Even if someone was holding something around him, Xue Rengui was weak when walking. The magical bull flower was too wild. It was so wild that Xue Rengui was so scary that he almost vomited blood. The wounds all over his body were so severe!

Qin Shou saw Xue Rengui walk in. He sighed relieved and said, "Brother Xue, it's good to see you are safe. I'm really scared Qin to death. Fortunately, you're fine, Brother Xue, otherwise, Qin really wanted to kill the cow for a full cow banquet. Don't take this risk in the future. Do you know if you want to? Come on, sit down..."

When several village chiefs heard Qin Shou's words, they all became sweaty and had to say something. Qin Shou's words were a bit disrespectful. Why did they say that the god Bull Flower is Liu Qiu's guardian beast? Isn't Qin Shou's words clearly embarrassing them? Of course, Qin Shou did not pay attention to these things. He was still concerned about Xue Rengui's health.

Xue Rengui is Qin Shou's capable general and a future star general in the Tang Dynasty. It is natural for Qin Shou to treat him as a guest of honor. It is said that it is easy to get a good general in a thousand gold coins. A good general is not a cabbage on the street. You can buy it by buying it. Qin Shou has no way to dig out many hidden star generals in the Tang Dynasty. Now he can only rely on fame to attract them to surrender.

To put it bluntly, he competes for food with Boss Li. Now he has a large group of old generals occupying the throne. He has buried many new stars, and even the generals who are drifting outside are depressed and unsuccessful. This is a wasteful thing. If Boss Li doesn't need it, it means he doesn't need it.

Under Qin Shou's warm greeting, Xue Rengui was flattered and bowed and said modestly: "I dare not take it. Xue is really ashamed of me. I want Brother Qin and you to wait for a long time. Xue feels sorry. So Xue sacrifices her life to accompany the gentleman. First, I will punish you for your long time..."

When Xue Rengui raised his glass, Li Ke stood up and interrupted Xue Rengui's words, and said with some excitement: "Why did General Xue say this? To be able to get together, according to Shou Ge'er's words, it means that we are all from the same big family, and the family does not require many etiquettes. Shou Ge'er, Ke'er, what Ke said is right or wrong?"

Qin Shou picked up the wine glass and took Li Ke's words, and said with emotion: "That's right, everyone, we are all a family. The King of Wu said it well. Those who can enter here are all Qin's family. Moreover, Qin also welcomes you to regard this place as your home. We are all a family, and have a drink for our new home!"

Li Zhen stood up excitedly in Qin Shou's words, and said, "Come on, let's give a cup of great heroes to celebrate the great hero's mount, and also celebrate our future prosperity. Of course, it's our new home. Come on, everyone will cheer together!"

At Li Zhen's passionate invitation, a group of people cheerfully picked up their glasses toast. It's been a long time since they were so lively. Li Zhen was thinking about this question in his heart. To be honest, I'm afraid that even the New Year is not so lively now. Li Zhen took a sip of wine happily and licked his lips and licked the wine foam.

After Qin Shou finished drinking the wine glass in his hand, he put it down and sighed and said, "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet for a moment. Listen to Qin's words first. Please come and discuss it. Regarding the development trend of our Liuqiu, I believe you also know the general trend of our Liuqiu now, and life is not easy!"

After Qin Shou finished speaking, Li Zhen stood up and said, "That's right, we are facing a big problem now. The problem of manpower and time seriously limits our development and pace. Especially the defense manpower has become the biggest key. Of course, there are warships and armor. Now the island owner will explain it to us!"

Qin Shou stood up at the welcome of the drummers, raised his hands and said modestly: "Everyone, you are all contributors of Liu Qiu and an indispensable developer of Liu Qiu. Liu Qiu's future prosperity cannot be separated from your contribution. To be honest, Qin cannot be separated from your hard work!"

The village chief of the Upper Village stood up and said, "The island owner said this difference. Didn't the island owner just say it? Liu Qiu is our home, and it will not be possible to leave anyone. As supporters, we also want a safe and peaceful home. Since the island owner, you took over Liu Qiu, our good life has been getting better day by day. Village chiefs, are you talking about what I said right?"

"Yes..." After the other village chiefs finished speaking, they all applauded and agreed. No matter what, it was fine. This was their home. If there were no guards from the army, they would be subject to endless pirate invasion. This was a very fatal thing, at least for them.

Qin Shou bowed to everyone present and said with gratitude: "Thank you for your respect, so I have something to say. Now let's talk about the general trend of our Liuqiu development. First, we must build a house first. No matter what you live in without a house, it is fake. Moreover, we will have to face natural disasters and storms in the future."

When several old village chiefs heard Qin Shou's words, they all nodded in favor. To be honest, they were really scared by the storm. Almost every year when the storm comes, it is also the time for the worst losses. Not to mention the houses, it is normal for even missing people to be lost. The most fatal thing is that the food that has been working hard to work is gone.

After several old village chiefs finished talking, Qin Shou continued to speak: "In the future, we ask the residents of the island to reduce their farming. Of course, it is not that you will not let you farm, but that we will have new coolies soon. You can be a local rich man to oppress the Japanese pirates to work, and you also have to spare some young people to learn technology..."

"This..." A group of village chiefs discussed Qin Shou's issue one after another. Li Ke sat aside, drinking and eating, and he didn't say much about this matter. As long as Qin Shou did it himself, it would be fine. Li Zhen also had a humble attitude of learning, and some things need to be learned, such as these development plans.

Xue Rengui drank wine and faced the toasts from his subordinates, Xue Rengui always refused everyone, no matter how he is now. Drinking to cultivate feelings is an unchanging law, and Xue Rengui also remembered Qin Shou's words, "A soldier is a beating, and a beating is a beating. This proverb made Xue Rengui feel the most reasonable saying.

It’s like he is a lion. A group of sheep led can defeat a group of lions led by a sheep. What Qin Shou said is very reasonable. Xue Rengui is also a humble person. He knows what is right and what is wrong. If he wants to get along with the soldiers and cultivate feelings, he must share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

Feelings are cultivated, and I don’t know who said this. Moreover, Qin Shou said it right. A general who can endure hardships with the soldiers is a good general. How did Cheng Yaoxian’s three good generals come from? He was just a fear of his wife who squatted in the military camp every day and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Shameless people have great luck.

When Qin Shou saw these old village chiefs discussing, he continued: "Qin knew that it might be a bit difficult for a while, and it is true that the same is true. The Japanese pirates' slaves could not find so many. This is just a temporary plan. More slaves will come in the future. You can study this matter if you open a village meeting!"

What is a village meeting? The old village chiefs don’t know or know, but Qin Shou said that studying this issue is roughly no different from chatting with nothing to do. The old village chiefs nodded in a simple and honest manner. Apart from this, they really don’t know what to say, and what Qin Shou said is also somewhat suitable for their taste.

Qin Shou looked at the village chiefs who were talking about it, and didn't say anything more. It would be better for them to adapt slowly. Qin Shou turned his head to look at the blacksmiths and said, "Now we have a very difficult task to complete on the Liuqiu Island. Of course, this requires the cooperation of the blacksmiths. Who is the blacksmiths responsible for leading the blacksmiths now? Who is the person in charge?"

To be honest, Qin Shou has been in Liuqiu for more than a month, and he hasn't paid much attention to the blacksmiths. Qin Shou only knows one thing. The blacksmiths are all introduced by Wang Blacksmith. Qin Shou doesn't know the specific technology, but judging by the speed of their iron supply, it won't be much worse.

A middle-aged man in his thirties stood up and said respectfully when Qin Shou asked, "Young Master Qi, I am Yu Ran, the person in charge of the blacksmith here. After some training, the young people here are very spiritual. In less than a month, they have roughly mastered the continuous production, but the supply is a bit slow!"

Qin Shou glanced at the middle-aged man who stood up, nodded and said with some dissatisfaction: "Qin didn't say much about the other words Yu Blacksmith. I just wanted to say one thing to familiarize myself with everyone as soon as possible. It is best to recruit some young people who are interested in blacksmiths. Young people who are not interested will go cool down while taking the morning!"

"Yes!" Yu Ran nodded in response when he heard Qin Shou's words. No matter what Qin Shou said, it always makes sense. Moreover, when Wang Blacksmith came, he reminded him several times that he must do what Qin Shou said, unless he didn't want to stay there for too long. Yu Ran always remembered Wang Blacksmith's words in his heart.

Qin Shou looked at Xue Rengui who was silent on the side, and hesitated for a while and said, "Brother Xue, since you are injured, you should recover well. The military training matter is advisable to discuss. Let the soldiers take a break for a few days. When the injury heals, we will slowly plan how to attack the Japanese pirates. What else do you need to supplement?"

"Yes, Xue is ashamed!" Xue Rengui was ashamed when Qin Shou said these comforting words. When such a thing happened, Xue Rengui was ashamed and ashamed. If he had not been brave and competitive, he would not have been like this. Originally, Qin Shou's plan to invade the Japanese pirates was to be postponed again, and there was nothing wrong with military tactics as fast as Yun Binggui.

Under Qin Shou's instructions, the people present at the night banquet expressed their opinions and ideas. Qin Shou looked thoughtful and listened humbly to the expressions of these people. You said that three cobblers were better than one Zhu Geliang, and there were so many cobblers now. I was afraid of having no strategy or ideas?

For a moment, a chaotic noise sounded in the entire hall. Qin Shou rubbed his forehead with a headache, and felt a little regretful about what he said just now. The sound of these guys talking about was really loud. It sounded annoying enough. I had already said something. I can't just say it and change my face, right?

When everyone was talking about it, Li Zhen hesitated and said, "Brother Qin, there is basically nothing else. Brother Zhen, I still said the same thing. Insufficient military strength is a taboo for us Liu Qiu. Attacking the Japanese pirates will inevitably cause revenge from the Japanese pirates. If you do not have absolute defense strength, Brother Zhen, I am afraid that the Japanese pirates will land from other places and attack us. I am afraid that we will be in trouble at that time!"

Li Zhen said with a slap: "For the attack on the Japanese pirates, Brother Zhen, I just want to add one more sentence. Before there is enough troops and firepower, it is better to postpone it, especially the transportation shop of the gunboat. If there is a lot of bombing or something, the shells will become a big problem. At least the transport ship must be built well, otherwise the shells of the gunboat will become a big problem."

Li Zhen directly told what he was worried about. Although Qin Shou had already said it at the beginning, some people didn't know it? Especially those old village chiefs, they must let them know that it is not impossible to fight Japanese pirates, so what if they have a manpower? Isn't it the same that the Japanese pirates were beaten so hard that they screamed and retreated?

Qin Shou, under Li Zhen's retort, also knew Li Zhen's intention, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This question is good. Then, we will build a defensive fortress here, but it is not now. We have to wait for General Xue to recover from the wounds. Moreover, the fleet is not enough now. We are afraid that the Japanese pirates will counterattack or something. Here, the northern area will build a fortress, and fortification bases or something..."

The construction of a fort in the north really caught everyone off guard. The north side of Liuqiu is a dangerous place. If it is really a big project to develop and build a fort, it is not possible to complete it. Especially the old village chiefs, they are very familiar with the terrain of Liuqiu.

Under the confused gaze of everyone, Qin Shou walked to the side and covered the red cloth. He turned around and said, "Qin knows that you don't understand. I won't mention this for the time being. Now let's talk about the future trend of Liu Qiu. Please see, this is a specially made Liu Qiu map made by Qin, and there is not much error!"

After Qin Shou finished speaking, he pulled open the red cloth and exposed a purely hand-painted map. The realism was really unremarkable. It was just that Qin Shou marked some red dots on the map. I wonder what he was going to do? Everyone had a confused expression on his face, and even Li Zhen and Li Ke were the same. They did not expect that Qin Shou would have drew these maps or something without hiding them.

Qin Shou pointed to a small red dot not far from the central government and said, "This is the location of our central government. To the east of this place is a continuous mountain range, and the terrain is also uneven. There are even many locations empty. In addition, there are mostly backed by mountains here, which can be used as a storage place for our granary."

After Qin Shou finished speaking, he continued to point to the central government and said: "There are many deep-water ports here, which can be used as a production place for sea ships on Line 2. A single production line is not enough. If it develops in the future, it will cause unnecessary congestion. To prevent similar incidents, the best way is to dig the second production line. This Shitian, the development of the matter will be left to you!"

"Okay, no problem!" Ishida nodded in response when Qin Shou arranged his work. He had just passed the kidnapping and finally finished it. Now Qin Shou has given him a arduous task to develop a second shipbuilding production line. Needless to think about it, Qin Shou intended to expand the navy.

Qin Shou continued to return to the central city with one finger, hesitated for a moment and said: "The development plan in the city is a bit difficult, and many problems are involved during this period. Moreover, Qin also plans to develop the idea of ​​an inner city and divide the main inner city, which is a military secret city, and the outer city is a commercial city, which is mainly provided for trading places for merchants to gather!"

Li Zhen looked at the map drawn by Qin Shou, looked hesitant for a moment and asked, "Brother Qin, what you mean is to directly treat the outer city as a trading city. Brother Qin, you deliberately made a fork at the end of the river, and the second production line was sealed with a red pen. Do you want to treat this fork as a military and commercial river channel at the fork?"
