Chapter 38 Docks and Marines

No, Zheng Ming attracted many people's onlookers as soon as he went out today.

Just watch the crowd, they also kept kowtow to Zheng Ming, making Zheng Ming a little embarrassed.

Zheng Ming had no choice but to wave at them.

It was not until he walked out of the county seat that the surrounding people dispersed one after another.

"It seems that we need to go out less in the future." Zheng Ming said helplessly while riding on his horse.

"Haha, the people love His Highness, His Highness should be happy." Luo Jing smiled.

Zheng Ming shook his head and said, "It's enough to keep your love in your heart, there's no need to do this."

"Let's go!"

Afterwards, a group of more than a dozen people rode their horses towards the beach.

After running for more than 30 miles, everyone came to the seaside, a noisy construction site.

On the construction site, hundreds of people are busy.

"Xiaguan Bai Song greets His Highness." Bai Song immediately greeted Zheng Ming when he saw Zheng Ming's arrival.

Now he has joined Shanhai County with Li Chuan, and as a scholar, he has also found a position in the county government office, as a workshop clerk, and as a steward to manage the construction of the project.

The first task he received was to build a port for Shanhai County.

Said to be a port, in fact, more like a wharf.

Zheng Ming got off his horse, looked at the construction site, and asked, "How is it? When will it be completed?"

"Go back to Your Highness, the first phase is expected to be completed in a month." Bai Song said respectfully.

Zheng Ming nodded and looked at the ships at sea.

"Come on board and have a look."

Immediately, he walked towards the ship docked by the sea.

The large ships on the Luoyu Islands are all Cantonese ships, characterized by a pointed head and a long body, a wide top and a narrow bottom, a thin line and a pointed bottom, a small beam arch, and a low deck ridge arc.It is more than 30 meters long and more than ten meters wide, with a solid structure and good airworthiness and endurance.

It was also the first time that Zheng Ming saw such a ship, and he couldn't help but climbed onto the bow with some excitement.

Looking at the boundless sea, countless arrogance suddenly rose in his heart.

He opened his arms, felt the moist sea breeze, and shouted: "O sea! You are all water!"

"Be careful, Your Highness." Seeing him standing on the bow, Luo Jing quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Zheng Ming was speechless.

This king finally relaxed, but you dared to stop him.

Although he disliked Luo Jing's troubles in his heart, he still obediently climbed down from the bow.

Because he can't swim.

Then he looked at the training of the sailors.

The person in charge of training the navy was Thursday Hai. After he followed Li Chuan to Shanhai County, he was appointed as the chief instructor of the navy by Gao Shun.

"When can I go to sea to fight?" Zheng Ming asked Thursday Hai.

Hai was a little nervous on Thursday, this was the first time he saw Zheng Ming.

"Go back to Your Highness, now the navy can go to sea to fight, but the combat effectiveness is not high, not as good as the fleet of Yihetang."

"How long will it take to train if we want to achieve the combat power of Yihetang?" Zheng Ming asked with a frown.

"It only takes three months, but in the martial artist, the navy is a little worse." Thursday Hai replied.

Zheng Ming was a little dissatisfied with this answer, but he didn't care about Thursday Hai either.

Most of these navy soldiers were the common people of Shanhai County, and they certainly couldn't compare to those pirates in Yihetang who had been drowning in the sea since childhood.

Three months is not a long time, but it will take three months for only 500 people, Zheng Ming can't wait.

It seems that the sailor can't count on it for the time being.

Zheng Ming patted Zhou Zhou Hai on the shoulder and said, "Train well and make them capable of fighting as soon as possible."

"I will obey." Thursday Hai said excitedly.

Even though he was a fourth-rank martial artist, but seeing Zheng Ming, his mind couldn't help but be excited.

Zheng Ming smiled and asked, "Do you have seafood here?"

Although Shanhai County is close to the sea, there are almost no fishermen. The reason is naturally because of pirates.

Once you go out to sea and encounter pirates, don't think about coming back, so people in Shanhai County are generally reluctant to go out to sea.

"Yes, the last will often let people salvage some seafood for the soldiers to eat." Said Thursday Hai.

"Prepare some of each, and this king will bring it back to eat." Zheng Ming said.

What he was reluctant to eat in his previous life, he has to eat a little more in this life.

Then, Zheng Ming went to the shipyard and the salt drying experiment field to get a general understanding.

Overall, the progress is not fast, but fortunately, everything is on the right track. As long as it is gradual in the future, there will be harvests sooner or later.

By the time he finished watching it, it was almost evening.

Running all the way back to Shanhai County, Zheng Ming immediately cooked the seafood he brought back.

The palm-sized swimming crab, a long lobster, as well as squid, fresh scallops, fish, etc., have been boiled for several pots.

The pure natural and pollution-free seafood is extraordinarily plump, which makes Zheng Ming fully addicted.

"Uh~ I'm so full." Zheng Ming hiccupped.

"Your Highness, it's not good to eat too much of these things." Song Baobao said seriously.

That serious look was so cute that Zheng Ming couldn't help but reach out and squeeze her cheek.

"This king will eat it once, and eat less in the future."

"Well, Your Highness must be obedient, otherwise you will get sick." Song Baobao said shyly.

This girl became more and more bold, and she dared to manage Zheng Ming in the entire palace.

……

early morning.

Zheng Ming danced his long sword in the courtyard, every move with a fierce murderous aura.

Compared with before, his swordsmanship is more severe, less bells and whistles, and more condensed murderous intent.

"Lian Xing, how is it?"

After finishing his sword practice, Zheng Ming asked impatiently.

Lian Xing said with a soft smile, "I have made great progress, but Your Highness needs to know that you need to train your heart before you practice swords, and you have no intention to kill.

"Murder!" Zheng Ming was slightly taken aback.

"Forget it, this king doesn't want to kill people."

He shook his head and said nonchalantly.

Killing with one's own hands was a hurdle for him, not because he was kind, but because he was afraid.

Living in a peaceful age more than 30 years, let alone killing people, he has never killed a chicken.

If you want to kill, you need not only force, but also courage.

For the time being, he wasn't ready to kill.

Besides, he has so many people now, if he wants to do it himself, why would he raise so many people?
"This king should still be a handsome boy."

Lian Xing smiled lightly and said, "The slave can hold the sword for His Highness."

A Rank [-] master will naturally not be soft-hearted when it comes to killing people.

Zheng Ming touched his nose and walked into the pavilion.

As a big man, it is unreasonable to ask a delicate woman to help kill someone.

But in terms of force, even a hundred of them couldn't compare to Lian Xing.

"Where's the baby?" he asked casually.

"The baby is cultivating, and the slaves let her practice for at least two hours a day." Lian Xing said.

"Oh!"

Zheng Ming responded, lying on the rocking chair, his eyes slightly closed, but his mind was immersed in the system.

Seeing him like this, Lian Xing immediately brought a cloak over him.
