The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 158 Time flies
As soon as Huang Sheng came back, he took all the soldiers to practice their combat skills in the extreme cold, paying special attention to the maintenance and maintenance of weapons.

After actual combat exercises, it was found that the maintenance requirements for flintlock guns are more difficult in the cold winter, and a little bit of ice and snow falling into the priming pot will affect the firing rate.

Fortunately, the musketeers are educated young people who strictly observe discipline. They know the shortcomings of the flintlock rifles, and they are extra careful when using them. They usually wrap the part of the priming pot with oiled canvas. The emissivity drops sharply by [-]%.

The Huang family has already produced a large amount of woolen yarn, and hundreds of women are spinning, dyeing, and knitting sweaters. The soldiers added a thick sweater to their cotton jackets, and they were much warmer.

There is no such product as sweater in this era. Huang Sheng guided the ingenious women to brainstorm a few simple and practical weaving methods, and then taught all women.

Huang Sheng himself doesn't know how to knit sweaters at all, but he often sees his wife knitting, and he knows the general procedure. Almost all women in the Ming Dynasty knew how to knit, and they were very clever.

It's just that no one thought that clothes could be woven in this way. After Huang Sheng raised a little bit, everything came naturally. Now the women of Huang's family have researched many flower needles.

The series of sweaters can not only meet the needs of the military, but also began to be sold in the capital, which provided a way for the family members on the island to earn income through labor.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the busy five years of Tianqi will pass.

When the Huang family became powerful, it started recruiting a large number of talents. Of course, it was not the talented husband of Ming Dynasty, but the laborers of Ming Dynasty. As long as they were skilled, the Huang family would take them in.

Before Huang Sheng had reached the strength to guide the country, he did not dare and was unwilling to take in scholars to serve the Huang family, because these people had fame.All have the ability to stand on their own, and have the possibility of becoming an official.

The possibility of them becoming the loyal servants of the Huang family is too small, and those who know what to do will also bring those non-academic knowledge to the Huang family, which will make the youngsters he cultivated at a loss, so Huang Sheng of course avoids them.

At present, the Huang family is too small and the population is not large. It is impossible for a hundred schools of thought to contend, and only one voice can be reserved.Education also adopts pragmatism, focusing on dealing with slavery and making the people of the Huang family rich as a supplement.

The two islands already have more than 1000 permanent soldiers and civilians, and Huangjiashan Island has more than [-].

At the end of the year, Huang Sheng took the team to Huangjiashan Island to have a party with everyone, pay homage to the early years, hand out benefits and bonuses, and introduce his second concubine Lan Caier to everyone.

The chief steward of Huangjiashan Island is Qiaozhen, the technical director is Gu Shanhai, there are two hundred Xiangyongs, and three hundred men who often practice. They all have Ming army standard weapons and long spears. Huang Sheng also equipped them with Lumi guns. A hundred sticks.

200 people received the cotton armor of the Ming army, and 100 people received the leather armor and iron armor of the Ming army.Such a 500-member township brave militia group, when defending the land, the Ming army's frontier army was no match for Qian Zong, and Jiannu would suffer a loss if he came to Niulu.

The Huang family is very good, the warriors who fight are all equipped with their own carefully crafted armor and weapons, and the things they get from the Daming military supply warehouse can only meet the standards for equipping the township valor.

There are frequent warships between the two islands, and the distance is only 150 nautical miles. The Huang family's warships will arrive within a day and night, so Huangjiashan Island is safe and sound.

It was already the 27th of the twelfth lunar month when we returned to the voyage, and the beauty Lan Caier hadn't recovered from the warm atmosphere of Huangjiashan Island.

"Master, my family is so happy, I never thought that our Huang family has so many people! They all worship the master so much!"

"The population is still too small, and the land is still not big enough! There is no way to farm to produce food, and there is no stability without food! You have to find a way to find a place to farm, at least 50 mu to be interesting."

"Ah? Master, it's not easy for you now, what are you planning to do with such a big place?"

After all, He Xiang's living environment is different from Lan Cai'er's, and she is too embarrassed to cling to the young master when there are other people.The women Bai Mudan and Bai Furong were in the cabin.

She smiled and said: "Our Huang family will definitely be able to become a marquis immediately in the future. Of course, we must raise soldiers and people. Sister Cai'er must hurry up. It is serious to try to have a few young princes."

"Sister, how dare my younger sister give birth to a son! Of course I have to hold on to my elder sister first!" He Xiang and Lan Caier couldn't be opponents when they joked like this, she was already blushing.

Huang Sheng twisted Cai'er's pretty face lightly, the little girl was very clever and immediately made a face with He Xiang to beg for forgiveness.

"Bai Mudan, Bai Furong, how is your script writing? Can you start rehearsing after the Chinese New Year?"

"Master, we have more than a dozen sisters who are working together. Each of us has an outline to write a play. It's almost finished, and the rehearsal will start at the beginning of the first month." Bai Mudan said.

For some reason, this prickly peony just likes to stay by the master's side, even if he doesn't say anything, he likes to follow, as if seeing the master anytime feels better.

Now there is another concubine next to the master, and she should avoid it logically, but she just can't bear to leave the master's side.

"Cai'er, you will play the protagonist Yun Niang, and Bai Mudan will play Yue Xianggong."

Cai'er was overjoyed to see that the master was really willing to assign things to her, and said: "Thank you, master, I will definitely play this role well."

Seeing Bai Furong's disappointed look, Huang Sheng smiled and said: "Bai Furong also plays Yue Xianggong in men's clothing. I don't know how many times I will play in the future. Everyone will take turns. Don't overwork and make the master feel bad."

The two big women immediately blushed and lowered their heads happily. "Cai'er, among the four personal servants you brought, there should be some who have been well-trained, right? Don't work too hard on choosing two to play Yunniang. If you are so busy that you don't have time to accompany the master, you will lose your fortune."

"Hey! Nunu listens to the master, Mei'er and Yi'er are sure to be able to do it."

'Jiuzhongtian' Lan Meiniang knows how to be a man, and gave her all the servants who used to serve Lan Cai'er as a dowry.So Cai'er has four personal servants, four maids, two servants and two women.

On New Year's Eve, the auditorium of Huangjiawan Island is decorated with lights and festive red lanterns. The red light reflects smiling faces. There are more than 1000 people sitting at one hundred round tables here, which is far from enough. It can't meet the needs of the island, because there are four thousand soldiers and civilians here, and everyone wants to say goodbye to the old year with the head of the family.

There is no other way but for everyone to eat evenly. Anyway, there are no soldiers and civilians on the island who are hungry, and everyone no longer cares about eating an extra bite. The picture is a celebration.
