Hearing Charles's answer, Xia Nan was ecstatic, but he still kept a smile on his face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Naturally ready. My business income can support the construction of enough ships to trade at sea; In terms of timber, my island has a forest that stretches as far as the eye can see; As for craftsmen, you don't have to worry, with money, you can recruit any craftsman. ”

Because there is no need to sail along the coastline, you will be able to see the outline of Qiongzhou Island in two days. The seasickness that I was worried about finally did not appear, and Xia Nan and his party arrived safely in Lingao.

After stepping on the land of Lingao, Xia Nan took a deep breath of fresh air. After the crossing, the time to stay in Lingao is more than a month, although it is far less prosperous than Guangzhou, but his career started here, it is the place where he came to another time and space to dream of setting sail, and there is a feeling of going home when he returns here.

The boat transporting the female workers arrived first, and Liu Quan informed Lin Weiye, who had already returned from Li District, of Xia Nan's itinerary.

Lin Weiye took Tan Shan, Tan Er and all the guards at home to greet him at the pier. As soon as he saw Xia Nan, Lin Weiye smiled and said, "Welcome back." ”

Others shouted, "Welcome home!" ”

The two have not seen each other for nearly half a month, and they feel very cordial and hug each other tightly. After crossing over, they experienced the test of life and death, and fought together for a common cause, and the two have been like old friends for many years, not like ordinary friends who have only known each other for a few months.

Ignoring the results of the recruitment in Li District, Xia Nan pulled Lin Weiye in front of the British trio and introduced the two parties to each other: "This is my partner Mr. Lin, this is Miss Maria Edward from the British Edwards family, this is Mr. Jason Charles from the Royal Shipyard in Kent, and this handsome gentleman is the future first mate from the Royal Navy - Richard William!" ”

This more formal introduction made the three of them very useful, and they felt that they were respected, and Xia's introduction of their identity made them very proud, especially William, who puffed up his chest proudly, and he suddenly realized that Xia was actually a very cute guy sometimes.

Lin Weiye, as a senior military fan and a super fan of the era of sail warships, naturally understood the meaning of the Royal Navy and the Royal Shipyard, his eyes lit up, he warmly shook hands with Charles and William, and said "Welcome, welcome", and took the time to glance at Xia Nan, blinking, which means how these two treasures were picked up by you, as for Maria, who has a proud figure, she was automatically filtered by him.

After the simple dock greeting ceremony was completed, Xia Nan called Liu Quan and instructed him to entertain the trio.

"Serving them must be more attentive than serving the master, if they want to leave because they are uncomfortable, be careful that your head is not guaranteed!"

Liu Quan's head shrank, these words showed that these Yiren were very important to the master, this task was both pressure and challenge, and if they were comfortable, their status in the master's heart would be higher.

He replied carefully, "The little one knows." So that the master knows, in order to serve the two masters and the lord's guests, the little one picked out six of the female workers who bought them as maids, and the worst appearance is also the posture of the middle, they are all from large families, and the ability to serve people is good! ”

Xia Nan kicked over as soon as he heard this: "Now that the demand for female workers is so tight, you are still doing this, do you know that the factory is the most important?" ”

Liu Quan didn't dare to hide, so he took this kick, but the strength was not heavy, he hurriedly defended: "Master Mingjian, this time in Guangzhou we bought three batches of a total of 550 people, plus the 350 people recruited by Master Lin and the original 200 people, there are already 1,100 people, less than these six people are not a lot, more than these six people are not much, not to mention that these six people are used to serving people, tell them to spin and weave to learn from scratch, not to mention that they learn slowly, they may not be attentive." ”

After listening to his explanation, Xia Nan didn't kick out the second kick.

In this way, on the premise of not affecting employment, it is a good idea to choose a few girls to serve him and Lin Weiye. Moreover, Maria was born in a noble family, and she was used to being served, and if she wanted to stay, a few personal maids were indispensable.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Quan's approach is not only correct, but also necessary. Xia Nan's face suddenly couldn't hold back, and said to Liu Quan with a smile: "Even if you are thoughtful, in addition to arranging one or two for me and Master Lin, you also have to arrange two personal services for that Miss Maria, you must choose the clever one." ”

Liu Quan saw Xia Nan's expression and knew that the bet was right this time, and it was very much in line with the master's mind. He was greatly encouraged, and responded quickly: "I know, I will definitely arrange it properly according to the master's instructions." ”

Xia Nan saw Liu Quan so attentively, nothing more than hoping to have an important position in his heart, not afraid of ideas, afraid of not seeking progress, for this kind of person, appropriate beating and encouragement are indispensable.

He thought about it for a while and said to Liu Quan: "Now that I don't have a suitable person around me, I will temporarily wronged you to be an old housekeeper." Your talents don't stop there, there will be a suitable opportunity in the future, I will let you out, be in charge of the party, and be a big treasurer. ”

When Liu Quan heard this, wasn't he just waiting for this opportunity? This master not only has the ability, but also makes good use of people, which is worth following! As soon as he was excited, tears came out: "The little one appreciates the master, and the little one is willing to be a housekeeper for the master for the rest of his life." ”

Xia Nan naturally knew that this was just a sign of loyalty, and scolded with a smile, "Master, I know your loyalty, go and do things quickly, be careful and eat again." "Kick in the air.

Liu Quan got up with a grunt and walked away quickly.

Since so many new female workers were recruited, the original factory dormitory was definitely not enough and had to be expanded. Xia Nan Xing chose to set up a factory in Hujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang is located on the outskirts of the county, there is no restriction of the city, theoretically it can be expanded indefinitely, anyway, there is no planning and land department in this time and space.

In order to accommodate more than 1,000 people, production was temporarily stopped, and the factory buildings were used to live in people. After the construction of the new factory was completed, it was all fenced off, with only one gate in and out, and a gatehouse. In the summer, Nan also designed a simple version of the public toilet, so many people eat, drink and Lazar, but they can't be sloppy.

After the initial conditioning in Guangzhou, the new more than 500 people are a little better, they can eat enough every day in Lingao, and their faces can also be seen red.

As for the more than 300 people in Qingshuitong, because of the presence of the sisters of Tinandao, they quickly adapted to the environment, just like the female workers in Tinandao, they ate well, slept well, and could also have a special bathhouse to take a bath - it was a kind of enjoyment for the Li women who could only bathe in the open air in the lake, and it was the nature of women to love cleanliness, whether they were Han or ethnic minorities - they soon fell in love with this place.
