I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 490
When Ning Pengpeng heard the news, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Cui Futai is really not in charge of the family, he doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive!

It was originally agreed to form a naval battalion first, but now that the number of people has doubled and the number of ships has also doubled, the expenses will naturally increase several times.

Originally, she thought that if there was an auction in Mingzhou, the money she would earn would be able to last for a while.

Now it seems that I am thinking too much.

It seems that this year's treasure of the town store may not be able to keep.

And those pearls mined this year have to find a way to sell.

Of course, there are only so many rich people in Mingzhou, and it would be unrealistic to sell them all.

Therefore, the best way is to find a way to get the pearls mined this year to the capital or the south.

Since this matter was handed over to Jiang Luochun, it would be most appropriate for Jiang Luochun to go to the capital and the south to host the auction.

It is necessary to get a little more money out of the pockets of those rich bigwigs in order to plug such a big hole that Master Cui dug for her.

Cui Qingyuan recruited 1000 people from two naval battalions. After being happy, he was still a little guilty.

However, seeing the Lord of Shouning County, there was no objection, and he was relieved immediately.

Naturally, it was impossible for Cui Qingyuan to just let them practice in the camp for these people from the naval battalion.

After all, once the shipbuilding and naval battalion were done, the port would naturally have to be built.

If the port is built as corvee and the common people are allowed to do it, it will inevitably arouse the uneasiness of the common people.

Now these 1000 gentlemen, due to the reason of the venue, are divided into grass practice in the morning and afternoon.

After they finish training, they can come to the port to work in batches!
There are 500 people in the morning and 500 people in the afternoon. They eat three meals a day and are full.

Therefore, there is also a lot of strength, so there is no need to worry at all. There is a possibility of lifting a stone and then fainting from exhaustion.

Let’s just say, at the beginning, those who came to be recruited as sailors were definitely unwilling to go to the beach to work after finishing training every day.

But every time they finished their work, Master Cui would order the cook to prepare a large piece of meat for each of them, and the reluctance in his heart disappeared without a trace.

In these days, who can eat so well every day like in the navy camp, and still have a large piece of fat to eat?

Now, it's just after grass training, do some work again!

Most of the gentlemen in Qingshi County, they usually smash stones in the quarry, and they don't take this job seriously at all.

Seeing other people go to work so happily, and there is a big piece of fat to eat, it is naturally impossible for others to show reluctance.

Therefore, the construction of the port was originally thought to take a long time to complete!
It really fits the sentence, there are more people and more power.

At the beginning of autumn, the port was finally built.

And built together with the port, there are also Ning's shops and houses near the port.

In such a large piece of land, except for the street-facing shops built along the main road leading to Nanyue Fucheng, Ning Pengpeng had people build warehouses in the back area.

In a port like this, apart from food and accommodation, the highest demand is naturally a warehouse that can store goods.

Because it is by the sea, Ning Pengpeng also specially ordered people to insulate the bottom of these warehouses from heat and humidity.

Even the place where the goods are placed is at least half a meter high from the ground.

At first, Cui Qingyuan was a little puzzled when he saw that the Lord of Shouning County had built the house and came to look at it.

But after hearing what the Shouning County Lord said, his heart was shocked.

In the capital city, the weather is extremely dry, and as a native of the capital city, Cui Qingyuan doesn't know anything about moisture protection.

Thinking of the houses built by the government, he immediately ordered people to go down, and hurriedly made these moisture-proof preparations.

The port was built, and three large Fuchuan ships were built.

As long as another one is built, the young and old in the navy battalion who have been trained for more than half a year can be pulled onto the ship and go to sea for training.

After all, training on a ship is completely different from training on land.

The big guy is also very interested in being able to train on the ship.

After all, they grew up by the sea, but they have never been on such a big sea boat before!

Ning Pengpeng looked at the already built sea ship and the people in the naval battalion, wondering what he was thinking.

"Master Shouning County, do you have any advice?"

Ning Pengpeng took Cui Qingyuan and pointed him to the houses and warehouses built by his family. Cui Qingyuan didn't hide anything, and took Ning Pengpeng to the naval camp. Construction progress.

Originally, he thought that the county lord of Shouning would show surprise or amazement on his face, but now, the attitude he showed was not what he expected at all.

Cui Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat, thinking he hadn't done well, so he asked casually.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect Fuchuan to be so big!"

Ning Pengpeng came back to his senses, smiled at Cui Qingyuan, and explained.

Cui Qingyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what the Lord Shouning said, as long as there is nothing wrong.

Back at the Tulou, Ning Pengpeng invited Cui Qingyuan to have a seafood feast before politely sending him away.

"Master, are you thinking?"

Qing Niang followed behind Ning Pengpeng, and asked very firmly.

"Qing Niang, tell me, will the people from the previous gang of pirates come ashore again?"

Ning Pengpeng walked slowly ahead and asked Qingniang.

Qingniang was taken aback for a moment, then pondered for a while.

"County Lord, even if the pirates come ashore, the fishermen can hide in the earthen buildings, and they can't do anything even if they want to.

Besides, Master Cui took us to see the Navy Camp this time!

With the navy camp here, these pirates will never dare to come again. "

Hearing what Qingniang said, Ning Pengpeng just smiled and said nothing.

Her greed for these pirates is very clear.

Once the port here is open, ships traveling from south to north will shuttle in the ocean.

Even if there is a naval battalion, these pirates will definitely not be tempted, and then they will attack these merchant ships.

The best way, of course, is once and for all.

However, Ning Pengpeng knew that if she persuaded Cui Qingyuan to take the newly released navy battalion to attack the lairs of these pirates, Cui Qingyuan might not agree so easily.

However, if this group of pirates is not eliminated, it will always be a hidden danger at the port of Nanyue Prefecture that will explode at any time.

Seeing what Ning Pengpeng said to her, Qing Niang just smiled and did not respond, her brows frowned involuntarily.

Could it be that those pirates will still come these days?
I don't know if it's Ning Pengpeng's Crow's Mouth, but she was just thinking that if the pirates came after the port opened, the economic blow to Nanyue Prefecture would be too great.

But what she didn't expect was that the group of pirates went ashore in the dark before the port was activated!
