The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 48
It turned out that since Qiaozhen and Laifeng discovered the master's secret, they had a good talk with Gu Ling'er for a few days, and taught her many ways to make men comfortable.

They kindly told Ling'er that they should take advantage of the fact that the master has no women around, and take the initiative to take the position of the big girl who goes to bed, so that the master is happy to serve him, maybe the master will give her the status of a concubine.

Gu Ling'er's mother, Gu Wang Shi, saw that her daughter had already entered the Huang family's inner house, so she went out of her way to talk to her, and asked her to do everything possible to please the master, and strive to get into the master's bed as soon as possible.

She told her daughter that both her father and elder brother have been appreciated by adults, and they are leading many craftsmen to work, and they get a lot of monthly money.If she becomes the adult's concubine in the future, the status of the Gu family in the Huang family will be even more extraordinary.

well!This is how it is in this era. The maid who works as a handyman wants to enter the inner house to serve the master, then wants to be a big girl, then wants to have the status of a concubine, and then strives to be like a wife.

The little girl doesn't want to be an adult's woman, but she is afraid that the adults will look down on her. Qiaozhen taught her how to please men, and she learned it seriously.

Huang Sheng doesn't understand the sorrow of women in feudal society at all. He also believes that knowledge can change destiny. He has always let the women in his family read and write, so that they can be self-reliant without relying on men in the future.

He said angrily: "Who taught you these messy things? Go back and sleep well!"

Gu Ling'er said stubbornly: "Qiaozhen, Laifeng and the other sisters all said that the master has Sister Rui'er and a servant to serve him personally. If he is still like that in the morning, he blames the servant for not taking care of the master comfortably."

In feudal dynasties, maidservants of wealthy households were also tools for their masters to vent their desires.

Huang Sheng didn't know there was such a strange thing at all, he was not used to doing messy things with a little girl who was younger than his own child, seeing her lying on his bed and insisting on serving him.

I had no choice but to take her out and put her on Zhao Rui's bed, saying: "Sleep well, don't get into my bed next time. You are still a child, you should study hard and don't listen to their nonsense. Master doesn't need to wait on you."

Zhao Rui hadn't gone to bed yet, she was not used to seeing Huang Sheng's attitude, she was from a family of officials, and all the men had three wives and four concubines, and she was served by beautiful maidservants.

The grown-up tossed and turned in the night and couldn't sleep, but he refused to be served by his servant.

She persuaded: "Sister Ling'er will be 14 years old soon, and she is not young anymore. The master has arranged women for so many households, but he didn't leave one for himself. The servants and servants are all broken flowers and willows, and they can't serve the master. Only Ling My son and sister have this blessing alone."

Huang Sheng said: "No, such a small child, the body has not yet grown up, absolutely not, you all sleep well, I don't need you to worry about it."

Gu Ling'er cried in embarrassment: "Master, you don't look down on slaves, right, ummmm..."

Huang Sheng got a little annoyed, and reprimanded with a straight face: "Nonsense, what if you are so young and you get pregnant? Do you understand that you will die of dystocia? Don't let your wild thoughts go to bed and sleep well, the master likes it!"

In the morning, Huang Sheng found someone in the bed in a daze...

Huang Sheng wanted to refuse, but...

Ever since Gu Ling'er served the master, she felt that she was already the master's woman, and she became more attentive every day.

Now the Huang family has a population of more than 400, and Dingkou is close to [-].

Huang Sheng arranged for Huang Mingli to be seven old warriors who are good at riding and archery, plus the black panther as knights. After actual combat, he found that as long as the fighters are willing to spend time and effort in maintaining it, it is not impossible to master a stainless steel pulley bow. Of course, there must be a prerequisite—— They were already good archers.

Of course, Huang Sheng will do his best to improve the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, and equip Li Dagang, Black Panther, etc. with such big killers, and they will be his own cavalry assault force in the future.

Quan Yong, Hu Jianfeng, and Cao Hucheng, who had already recovered, led four strong and physically fit men selected from the rescued Han Chinese and the laborers taken in a few days ago to practice assassination in pairs.

These 15 of them are heavy infantry spearmen, and each of them is equipped with three layers of armor. The weapon is a "armor-piercing sharpshooter".

After several months of practice, Huang Dongshan and Gu Shanhe's shooting level improved the fastest. Huang Sheng found that they had a talent for shooting and had already started training with flintlock rifles.

Three loaders were arranged for each of them. The loaders beside him were Gou'er and Lu Chengzu, and two other teenagers were added.All loaders are equipped with Lumi guns and shoot live ammunition every day.

In the future, these teenagers will carry out long-range strikes with themselves, destroying the enemy with firearms.

Liu Liangcai was appointed as the captain of the 'Guangning', and the No. [-] Fuchuan, which was being refitted, was also named 'Gaizhou', with Ma Cheng as the captain.

Now the number of soldiers who can land and fight has reached 36. It is a pity that there are too many recruits. Although they study hard every day and are eager to kill the enemy and make achievements, they still lack the training of actual combat. It will take time to prove whether they can become qualified soldiers.

All the people on the island are working. The women are sewing tents, protective coats and gloves out of canvas, some of the men are processing accessories, and some of the carpenters are producing "sealed pontoons"...

The weather was already very cold, and the outdoor work stopped. Gu San led dozens of top craftsmen to repair the downturn furnace with refractory bricks indoors.

Because Huang Sheng bought a lot of coal regardless of the cost, he asked Gu San to make a lot of briquette stoves with flues for heating, and not only kept them in the workshop, but also distributed one to every household.

These poor people who worked for Huang Sheng said that this winter is not too cold, and every household is warm.

No matter how busy the work is, everyone has a full hour of reading and literacy time every night, which is also one of their most important tasks.

Reading and literacy are seriously given spiritual and material rewards, and there are also backward elements, reward boards!

Huang Sheng goes to the auditorium to teach almost every day. Everyone likes to come here to study, because there is no place for entertainment on the island, and hundreds of people gather in the auditorium, which is very lively.

Huang Sheng wrote a simple textbook by himself, teaching everyone new characters and telling stories about many national heroes, such as the well-known Yue Fei, the generous Wen Tianxiang, Qi Jiguang of the current dynasty...

Everyone listened with gusto, and fantasized about being a hero who stands up to heaven and earth.

The other teachers are Huang Dongshan, Zhao Shimin and Zhao Rui. Huang Sheng instructed them not to be too rigid in teaching, but to entertain them. They all understood Huang Sheng's good intentions and imitated this teaching method one after another.

Female teacher Zhao Rui's class is the most popular, she has won everyone's respect, everyone calls her Mr. Zhao.

She also taught everyone etiquette, those little girls were imitating her, especially Gu Ling'er, now she even learned the way of walking and speaking.

Originally, Huang Sheng planned to stop the feudal bureaucratic etiquette from breeding in the Huang family, but after thinking about it, people still have to understand etiquette, justice, integrity and shame. What's wrong with monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons?It may not be wise to break the inheritance of thousands of years.

The Huang family belonged to the Huang family of the Ming Dynasty, and they couldn't stand alone and want to integrate into this society, so Huang Sheng just let it go.

Life on the island is peaceful and serene, and all the family members feel happy. There is no oppression, no hunger, and some are healthy and progressive groups.

This may be the cleanest place in the Ming Dynasty. No one litters, and no one defecates indiscriminately. Even the cesspit is not allowed to be open to the air, and it is covered with stone slabs.Several latrines are repaired with bluestone, and there are special personnel responsible for cleaning.

Cattle, horses, pigs, and sheep on the island have special breeding grounds, and horse manure on the road must be cleaned up in time by those who ride and lead horses.When a series of health regulations were first promulgated, these Ming people who were accustomed to mess and mess were not used to it.

Huang Sheng arranged for Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao to enforce the law. After hitting a few people's boards, the residents on the island realized that hygiene depends on everyone.Later, everyone fell in love with this clean island, and everyone consciously maintained environmental hygiene.

Everyone is living a carefree life, only Huang Sheng is worried, why?There is no silver left!Since there are eight or nine hundred shi of wheat in hand, he won't be hungry, but there is not much money left.

Even the nearly 2000 taels of silver seized from Wanghaidun last time were used in several downflame furnace projects. If you want to develop, you are not just satisfied with not being hungry.

Developing industry and building a strong army without money is of course not possible, Huang Sheng is using his brains....

In mid-November, Huang Sheng received a general order, and Sun Chengzong, the supervisor who was sitting in Shanhaiguan, summoned him.

It shouldn't be a bad thing for Liaodong's supreme leader to be summoned. It's definitely not bad for a subordinate who can often show a small face in front of the leader, but he can't guess why?He didn't dare to neglect to take Huang Mingli and Han Guang to set off immediately on the 'Guangning'.

Everyone else stayed on the island to practice their military skills hard, not only the thirty or so soldiers, but also sailors and craftsmen who were only Dingkou had to practice assassination and learn to listen to the drums.

The Shanhaiguan wharf was already frozen, but the ice-breaking cone of the "Guangning" easily broke through the ice and reached the wharf.

Huang Sheng asked the captain Liu Liangcai to drive the 'Guangning' back. It was getting colder and colder. It would be troublesome for the ship to be parked here and be blocked by other frozen ships.

The port of Huangjiashan Island is a deep-water port, and the ice is broken from time to time, and the sea surface of the port is always kept free of ice, so that your own ships can enter and exit freely.

When the three of them came to Shanhaiguan, Huang Sheng was amazed.

This is the throat of the Liaoxi Corridor, with the endless Yanshan Mountains to the west and the endless sea to the east.
