"Aren't you just standing next to me? You have to make the best use of people and things. You must never waste talents or manpower and material resources. So you should do what you should do first." Chen Shiqing said with a smile.
He was very satisfied with the reserve force of this shipyard, which shows that the reserve force of the shipyard is sufficient and has a strong foundation. On this basis, everything is relatively simple. As for Chen Shiqing now, it would be nice to have a shipbuilder. It is a luxury to have such a huge force. How could he be unhappy?
Shipbuilding is a big deal. It seems that this requires the establishment of a professional worker team, schools, training and design talents, technical workers, etc. Shipbuilding involves many aspects, which are not something that can be done by carpenters alone, and many places also require the use of blacksmiths. How much iron tools are not qualified, the tools produced will only harm people.
The so-called rotten ships also have three thousand nails, which shows a problem of demand. Shipbuilding has a very large demand for blacksmiths. Without blacksmiths, many things will become troublesome. There is also the canvas on sailboats. In this regard, China is also far from Europe, and the quality of the canvas made is not good.
This is a systematic gap. It is meaningless and difficult to improve a certain place. For example, the inability to improve iron tools is a problem of smelting technology, a problem of smelting tools, a problem of components, and a problem of the entire smelting steel industry. This is the result of no systematic schools and institutions. As we talk, it is the problem of the Qing Dynasty entering the customs. This has led to a huge regression in engineering. As we talk, Qiu Chuji cannot pass by Niujia Village, etc.
Now Chen Shiqing also knows that if you want to give up unrealistic illusions, it is impossible for you to settle anything. You must determine where your abilities are. Now Chen Shiqing understands all this. For the time being, Chen Shiqing does not intend to change one of the links. This is a systematic project. A place suddenly becomes stronger, which will drag down the overall structure, cause greater losses, and cause huge crises. It is better to maintain the original state. There are reasonable places to exist.
"Sir, let's go eat something. I have prepared a sumptuous dinner for you." Lin Huquan said.
Chen Shiqing nodded and said, "Okay, then we will be hungry, but this time, let's go to the fishing village to have a look, and you can eat in the fishing village."
"What delicious food can be found in the fishing village? That is not worthy of the status of an adult! The fishing village is full of poor people. How can poor people have delicious food?" Lin Huquan said with a smile.
"Okay, I will go to the fishing village and naturally have a reason to go to the fishing village. Don't ask about this, just go and do things and go with me to take a look!" Chen Shiqing said.
Lin Huquan hurriedly said, "That's fine, follow the adults, follow the adults."
After struggling for a long time, everyone was already hungry. It was time to eat, but it was not enough to choose a place casually. Chen Shiqing still thought the fishing village was suitable. On the one hand, he was a civil servant after all, and he had the responsibility to defend the territory and the task of benefiting the people. The fishermen were suppressed very much and were very poor. Now he needs to see how to change the lives of the fishermen. He has successfully changed the living conditions of the salt steakers. As for the fishermen, they also need to be managed.
The maritime ban policy for a hundred years has almost ended the commercial operations along the coast. However, fishermen generally do not care about fishing when going out to sea, and the fishery administration department does not care about you. But there are officials on land who will blackmail you some money and spend money. However, since Haizhou's capital is in the mainland and is far from the seaside, they rarely come here. Fishermen can barely risk their lives to make money for food and clothing.
"Is this fishing village the closest fishing village?" Chen Shiqing asked, pointing to the small fishing village that looked quite poor and dilapidated in front of him.
"Yes, this village is the closest here. Usually, fishermen usually go fishing and farming occasionally, and they can find some work to do it and have enough food and clothing. However, after all, fishing in the sea is risky, and people often drown, and their lives are not very good. Some people go out with us to go on a boat and earn some money to support their families." Lin Huquan said.
Chen Shiqing nodded and said with emotion: "It's not easy for everyone. It's so difficult to support a family. The imperial court has suffered a lot in the past ban. Now we have to lift the sea ban to let everyone make some money."
"My wise man, this sea is a treasure house. In the past, even if there were no guards from the court, we were often robbed. We all had good food and drinks when we traveled. There was no problem with having enough food and clothing. Although we could not have big fish and meat, for the people, having enough food and clothing was the highest requirement. If the adults opened the sea route, our people would definitely be able to make money, and there would be hope for the future. The people would definitely remember the good things of the adults." Lin Huquan said.
"Well, the sea ban must be lifted, and the imperial warships must also patrol the sea. We cannot make the Qing Dynasty's territorial waters a place for others. If others want to come, they will leave as soon as they want. Who do they think of us?" Chen Shiqing said.
There are not too many people in this fishing village, no one like the villages in later generations. There are hundreds of people here, but hundreds of people are not small villages in this era. Seeing the arrival of these hundreds of officers and soldiers and servants, the villagers stood by their doors and on the roadside, watching Chen Shiqing and others in a daze.
"Sir, you don't have to be nervous. Prepare the meal. We will pay for it and we won't treat you badly. If you serve it, there will be rewards. Everyone, go quickly!" Aina shouted.
Aina thought that for poor families, giving money to them to serve you was a gift to them, but they didn't expect that everyone seemed to be unhappy with Aina's gift. They all looked at him with cold eyes, without any reaction. A few people wanted to make the money, and they also forced the eyes of their friends from the same village to go back.
"Shiqing, it seems that they are not friendly to our arrival!" Ruolan said.
Chen Shiqing nodded with a wry smile and said, "The truth is obvious. In the past, we all came to oppress them, so they were angry. Now it is different. I hope they can understand the difference between us and the officials before."
"But, aren't you going to explain it and let them understand?" Ruolan asked curiously.
Chen Shiqing smiled and said, "I want to explain, but it's not time."
"Whatever you do! Didn't you hear your words? This is the magistrate. Are you ungrateful and ungrateful, and you dare to put on airs in front of the magistrate? If you don't be honest and obedient, I will kill you!" Lin Shanbao was angry. In front of the magistrate, you are sincere and do not give us face, right?
The Lin family is indeed more prestige than the government, because many villagers need to go out for dinner with them. They should be more polite to the financial owners, otherwise who will go to dinner with in the future? That's our boss!
"You ungrateful things, the adults can condescend to you to have a meal. That is to give you face to you. You are even pretending to be a treasure, and you all think of yourself as a treasure?" Lin Shanbao roared.
"Hey, don't be so angry, you look like you are. Just say something!" Lin Huquan saw that Lin Shanbao's momentum was a bit too fierce, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"Brother, look at what these people are, they are ungrateful and don't know how to follow the rules in front of the adults. The adults have sent them money, but they are not grateful. What's the matter!" Lin Shanbao said dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, I understand!" Lin Huquan thought, why are you so stupid? What do you do to snatch the chance to show off by the prefect? What do you think you will be grateful to you like this? Your head is like a lump!
Chen Shiqing walked towards the crowd with a smile, looking at a middle-aged woman in front of her. The woman looked resentful, her clothes were torn, and her pants looked like this one, and they were shorts. It was a little better than a Shanxi woman without pants, and it was not much better.
Chen Shiqing noticed this woman just now. Among everyone, he could see at a glance that the resentment of this woman was very different from that of others. Chen Shiqing is now a spirit, and he can see a person who is a keen person on the battlefield. As a person with a keen sense of battlefield olfactory ability, this is a basic quality and an acquired intuition he has developed since his long-term combat. Although it makes no sense, it is very accurate.
"What do you call this elder sister? Why are you the only one with your children, and you are a man?" Chen Shiqing asked.
After hearing the word "child" by the middle-aged woman hurriedly hugged her son who was only about ten years old, subconsciously took a step back without saying a word, but the expression on her face became even more ugly.
Chen Shiqing saw very differently. Am I a devil? Why are you so afraid of me? Yes, I have killed many people and have a strong murderous aura, but I am not the one who kills myself. I am a shield, and I protect us Chinese!
"Your mother, I don't know what to lift!" Lin Shanbao was furious when he saw this. He started slapping the woman in the face. If Lin Shanbao's strength slapped this woman, he would basically not be able to survive.
"Oh, oh, sir, you..." Lin Shanbao's wrist was suddenly grasped by Chen Shiqing. Chen Shiqing's palm wrapped around Lin Shanbao's wrist like an iron chain, and Chen Shiqing actually only put in two points of strength.
Lin Shanbao didn't understand why he stood up for Chen Shiqing, so what Chen Shiqing did to attack him.
"Don't hit people, just hit people casually in front of me. Do you think this official does not exist?" Chen Shiqing said coldly.
Although Lin Shanbao was also a person who killed countless people and licked blood from the knife, he immediately shivered when he saw Chen Shiqing's cold eyes like hell, and his anger was wiped out, replaced by infinite fear.
Lin Shanbao hurriedly said with a smile: "Oh, oh, what the adults taught me is that my subordinates unconsciously want to stand up for the adults. This is really the case. The adults are right, the villain is wrong, it is the villain who is wrong."
The eyes of the fishermen around him were straightened. Why was the adults so powerful this time? Even the second in charge of the Lin family was like a chick and an eagle in front of him. This was not in line with science! In the past, the magistrate had no status when he met the Lin family. At most, he treated them with an equal status. When did the power of the government reach such a huge scale, which made the Lin family members so scared.
"I said, this elder sister, I asked you, you are not going to eat you, what are you afraid of?" Chen Shiqing asked.
"It's all you, it's all you guys who have harmed my men! How many people have you killed! Lawless, sooner or later, we will go to the capital to sue you!" The woman suddenly spoke, and when she opened her mouth, a volcano erupted, almost scaring Chen Shiqing. What's wrong? As for being so angry?
"You..." Lin Shanbao wanted to hit this woman for Chen Shiqing, but he held it back. Don't flatter me and then hit the horse's hooves. It would be troublesome if you were fine.
"We killed your man? Haha, you are going to go to the capital to file a lawsuit, who will you ask for?" Chen Shiqing asked with a smile.
"My man goes out to sea to travel, why is it the mob you mentioned? Why do you beat him to death? I want to go to the capital to ask the emperor for complaints, but I don't believe it, and I'm lawless!" The woman shouted in tears. At this moment, he had completely sacrificed his life. Even if she died under Chen Shiqing's hands, she was not afraid of anything.
"Okay, okay." As expected, it was bullying other fishermen again. Chen Shiqing didn't understand. He was a man, so why did he specifically bully the orphans and widows? If you have the ability to fight with Westerners, you will know how to attack his compatriots. What kind of army is this? It simply embarrasses the Qing army fighting in Nepal and Myanmar!
"Ruolan, come here!" Chen Shiqing shouted.
Ruolan nodded and walked quietly to Chen Shiqing. She knew that Chen Shiqing must be planning to help this woman.
Chen Shiqing pointed to Ruolan and said, "This is the princess Qiansui in the capital, Princess Gulun Heyin. If you have any grievances or any dissatisfaction, just tell her! Otherwise, you can tell me. I am not only your parents' official, but also the Lord Dorobel from the capital, the governor of the White Tiger Camp. If you have any grievances, tell me, I will solve them for you!"
"Wow~!" The woman let out a long roar and fell to the ground. The crying was so aggrieved.
Chen Shiqing stood there, not helping the woman, nor scolding her. She just quietly waited for the time when the woman finished crying. There were only the woman's crying sounds in the scene. Apart from that, it was extremely quiet.
"Sir, Master Qingtian, you are the one who is in charge of us! The people in the yamen found a reason to say that our heads were illegal and the court's laws were beaten to death. Where can we make sense?" the woman cried and said.
"Don't worry, tell me who did this and when did it happen?" Chen Shiqing asked.
"Eight years, no, nine years ago! It was nine years ago that my head was beaten to death by the officers and soldiers here. I was beaten to death. At that time, my baby was just born. In order to earn some money for us, my man went out to sea. Unexpectedly, he disappeared when he came back, um~!" the woman cried and said.
The crying was so shrill that the villagers could not help but lower their heads sadly. Some of them were beaten to death by the officers and soldiers, and some of them died of fishing by the officers and soldiers. In short, they all died, all died under the ban of the court and at the hands of the officers and soldiers.
"Oh, don't blame me for being helpless. I have only been in office for a few months and I don't know anything. Nine years ago, I was about the same age as your son! Villagers, I will announce to you that from today on, we will lift the sea ban and form the Haizhou Navy, allowing you to go out to fish and go out to sea to travel. We will also send warships to protect you. If you are willing to go on a boat, you can go out to sea with Mr. Lin's fleet or fish by yourself."
"In short, no matter who is willing to go out to sea, those who are willing to go out to sea can go out to sea at any time. There is no need to worry that our officers and soldiers will attack you. In short, listen well. From now on, I will support you to go out to sea, allow you to go out to sea, and protect you to go out to sea!" Chen Shiqing shouted to the sky.
Chen Shiqing's voice echoed in the entire fishing village. For these fishermen, Chen Shiqing's voice was simply a blessing! These fishermen are not afraid of the unbeatable weather, nor are they afraid of the rampant pirates. What they fear most is the control of the court and the government. Chen Shiqing's move opened their door to the future and instantly ignited their joy.
"Oh~!" A young fisherman took the lead in jumping high and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Immediately afterwards, more people joined the shouting team, and everyone was cheering, as if they were excited as a carnival. At this moment, they had been waiting for too long. Many times, they gave up such fantasy, believing that the ban for more than a hundred years could not be opened. But every time they faced the blue ocean, this huge treasure house, they felt that one day the court would think about it and see it, especially when they became increasingly poor, such fantasy became stronger and more urgent. Finally, this day came.
"Hey, they are all poor people. In fact, they are just going to sea to make money. It is not illegal or illegal. How come so many troubles have happened? In this era, is it so difficult to earn a living? The people are alive just for a meal. If the court cannot even satisfy the people, it is no wonder that the people will resist." Chen Shiqing said with emotion. Seeing these poor people, Chen Shiqing felt very uncomfortable.
