691 Girls, boats, sailors, and immigrants
However, Lilia is a person who understands, she knows the thoughts of these four little girls, probably because she has been converted to God for a long time, and she has read a lot of gospels recently, Lilia looked at the sisters from the Qiao family's old mansion with a bleak appearance, and a sense of compassion suddenly appeared in her heart.
At this time, Xiaoshan was a little surprised to see his own lady-to-be move the lotus step, walked forward, took the hands of the little sisters, showed a gentle face and said to the little girls, sisters, don't be disappointed, our husband is not a merciless person, but the customs and rules of the Australians, pay attention to monogamy, grow old for life, wait for the years of cardamom, the coming day is long, the ancestors sent you to learn this pharmaceutical secret technology, the future is great, and I hope that the sisters will not be too concerned about this children's feelings......
Dai Xiaoshan listened to the five-flavor bottle overturned in his heart, obviously Lilia's conversation was overturned, and the four girls were in a good mood I don't know, but their faces are indeed much better.
Anyway, at this moment, Dai Xiaoshan heard it, if he wanted to take a concubine, he was afraid that he would be sad about Lilia's pass, so he listened to what Lilia said to the maids just now, and he didn't let out a trace of activity......
In short, the turmoil of sending the girl to the room is now a turning page, and as for whether the future generations of Xiaoshan can get these girls, Lilia did not refuse on the surface, nor did she make any promises.
But in any case, with these eight helpers, plus the original manpower in the house, the expanded pharmaceutical workshop finally began to run smoothly, and the output of penicillin also increased greatly after half a month.
Later, these little girls and maids from Qiao's Mansion really have a good future, especially a few months later, the Wanshan Island Pharmaceutical Factory presided over by Huang Lei officially started production, and these girls have been reused, as for whether the girls have any results with Dai Xiaoshan, it is not easy to say now, after all, time has passed, and the situation and vision of these children will be different from the past, because later they finally completed six years of study in Sunflower, so, The rest of the story is completely different from what this group of children expected when they first entered this house, so let's listen to the next breakdown......
Two flowers bloomed, one for each watch, and while the Divine Doctor and Lilia were working overtime with this group of maids to secretly make penicillin, Elush didn't have such a big deal---- because he wasn't at home these days.
Just two days before the second son sent the maid and the maid to the house, the first batch of pioneer households selected by the Qiao family for the two aunts arrived outside Macao Port on the Qiao family's sea boat, there were 120 households, and there were 561 men, women, and children.
In addition, the sea ship entrusted to Qiao's ** also arrived at the South Pier in Macau.
The Qiao family is very concerned about the fact that the Australians commissioned the purchase of the boat, this is a medium-sized hard sailing ship of 800 materials, Xiao Ai and Ren Ke have received sailing training, and can probably recognize this as a sailing ship with a combination of Chinese and Western design ideas.
The ship has a slender hull, a pointed bottom, a towering stern, a mainmast as high as six feet, and a secondary mast on the fore and aft decks---- which are obviously characteristic of Western sea vessels.
However, the hull has watertight compartment partitions, and the sails are stiff sails reinforced with bamboo---- which are also Chinese style.
Later, I learned that this kind of ship appeared in the South Seas for less than a hundred years, and it was a new design of the Portuguese Lu Hou combined with the characteristics of Chinese sailing boats, and was called the red single boat---- or the old boat.
This type of ship has relatively flexible steering, moderate load, and fast speed, which is said to be more than six to seven knots on average, and is more suitable for deep ocean navigation except for poor seakeeping performance.
The old ship is the largest number of ships owned by the Qiao family and other four maritime merchants, and this kind of Chinese and Western combination of ships and Cantonese tea boats with pointed bottoms and hard sails are the main types of civil sea ships in the contemporary southeast coastal areas.
After the inspection and acceptance of the ship, Ren Ai and his brothers thought that the ship was really good, the wood used for shipbuilding was a kind of hardwood, which was quite strong, of course, it was precisely because the proportion of this hardwood was larger than that of pine fir wood, so the payload of this ship was relatively low, after measurement, the whole ship was nearly thirty-five meters long and six .5 meters wide, because the brothers were not very clear about the relationship between the volume measurement unit "material" and displacement in this era---- in fact, even if it was a professional like Dr. Zhu Da, it was estimated that he was confused. So the two brothers didn't know either, they could only look at the size of the ship to estimate the full load displacement, and the brothers took a ruler to measure it for a long time, and concluded that the displacement of the ship was about 300 tons.
As for the other element of the ship---- the crew, it was also selected by the Qiao family for the two sons-in-law, there were a total of twenty-one crew members on board, among which the handlebar and several bow substitutes were very familiar, it was the ship that the Qiao family lent them to explore the island last time, but there were some strangers mixed with ordinary sailors, obviously the Qiao family took into account the various risks of going to sea, and did not want the two aunts to go to sea with sailors who were all strangers, and even unreliable people, obviously the Qiao family took good care of the two auntsThe arrangements are very thoughtful and thoughtful.
The price of the whole ship is 3,000 taels of silver, and the brothers know the market and think that this price is very fair.
With the ship and the pioneers, it was time to start the construction operation quickly, and the three of them discussed the decision and sent Ai Rush to lead the group to the sea to take the lead.
Therefore, Xiao Ai left Macao two days ago and went to Dawanshan Island with the boat and people, so he temporarily avoided the emotional Shura field of men and women.
Most of the pioneers led by Xiao Ai came from the Qiao family's grange in the mainland, all of whom were the Qiao family's tenant slaves and the Qiao family's tenants near the grange.
After all, the Qiao family is a large family, and they have considerable appeal to the villagers, plus the Australians give each household a tael of silver per head to settle down, so it has attracted many villagers who are in debt and whose families are not very good to apply.
However, the Qiao family did not accept it if they came, and they rejected all those who had a bad temperament and reputation in the village, and those who were lazy and lazy, and in addition, there were other selection conditions: for example, this first batch of people only accepted two categories: either hard-working and dragged their families, or young couples who had just started a family, and did not want adult single men at all.
Regarding the last condition, it is Dai Xiaoshan's special explanation to the Qiao family to recruit the principal, Dai Xiaoshan said, although there are old and young people who drag their families, but it is precisely because of this that it is difficult to run away with the silver or quit halfway, obviously it is difficult to say if you are single, as for why you choose those young couples who have just started a family, mainly because this kind of person is in the stage of life full of hope and fighting for the future, as long as such a small family is given a relatively stable working environment, they will also be engaged in production with peace of mind.
Dai Xiaoshan emphasized that for going to sea to a strange place to pioneer, the two types of people who cannot be wanted are lazy gangsters and single people who have no net worth burden.
The lazy and mixed world of the former is completely a person who has more than enough success and more than failure, while the latter, because of the difficult conditions in the early stage and the lack of women around him, many people can't stay at all.
Now it seems that the precautions given by Dai Xiaoshan have been strictly followed by the principal of the Qiao family, after all, the name of the substitute doctor is there, and the Qiao family has great respect for this uncle, and of course the things explained must be followed.
Not only that, the Qiao family also sent a few prestigious Zhuang heads to set off with the boat, and Mrs. Qiao also specially explained that the Zhuang heads should work together to assist the two aunts in managing this group of villagers, after all, the two aunts have just arrived, and they have two lives, so don't let the two aunts be embarrassed in this regard.
The brothers couldn't help but be a little moved when they heard this, and they could see that the Qiao family was really willing to invest in the two uncles.
