Daming pirates

"Oh? Is that true? If that's true, it's really surprising! They are just a bunch of pirates, how could they do this?" Lin Yiyang was even more surprised after hearing this.

"Brother, you don't know this! The leader of the Sea Wolf is not an ordinary person. Although he is a pirate, he is a chivalrous person! Ever since he took charge of Nanyue Island, Nanyue Island

The people on the island are really blessed!

This great leader never allowed his subordinates to harm the poor people. When the people on the island were in trouble, he would help them. In addition, our area of ​​Fuzhou has become much more peaceful since he became the leader!

They only attacked some unruly merchant ships, rarely harmed the people along the coast, and rarely raided villages. However, they eliminated many small groups of pirates in this area, and brought peace to this area along the coast!

I heard that there used to be a few fishing tyrants along the coast, but later they were killed by the Yu family. Now there are many more fishermen in our area than before, and our lives are much better!

Although these sea wolf brothers are nominally thieves, in my opinion, they are hundreds of times better than officers, soldiers and government servants!

If I hadn't had seniors and juniors at home, I would have wanted to come and work for the head Yu! You don't know! The brothers of this sea wolf are paid much more! Although the head Yu has strict control over his subordinates

, but he is very generous with his salary. The brothers usually get paid, and if they work, they can also get a share of the profits. None of them dare to say that they are fat, at least they live a very happy life.

Moisturize.

Just the little money you gave them just now, it’s not that they don’t want it, they really can’t see it! What a pity! I don’t have the blessing to be a servant in charge of the family, otherwise, our family’s life will be worse than

It’s much better now!”

The boatman shook his head with regret on his face.

After listening to the boatman's words, Lin Yiyang couldn't help but be a little stunned. Although he had heard before he came that the Sea Wolf Gang was different and popular among the people along the coast, he didn't expect that even the people on the boat he was riding on

The boatmen all highly admired the master named Yu from Sea Wolf.

So he couldn't help but become even more curious about the Sea Wolf and the leader. So while walking, he chatted with the boatman and kept asking about things about the Sea Wolf Gang.

When he entered the shopping mall area, he was startled again by the scene in front of him, because before he came here, he thought that although there were some shops here, it was a den of thieves after all, and it would definitely be a mess, and there would be no

It would be so lively, and the people who came here were probably some extremely vicious people, but unexpectedly when he walked into this commercial area, he found that it was completely different from what he thought.

The shopping mall area does not look like a place in a den of thieves at all. It is a large area and the entire shopping mall area is divided into four streets in a tic-tac-shape.

Moreover, the streets here are very neat and clean, unlike the streets in market towns, where garbage is everywhere, sewage flows across, and flies fly everywhere. The streets here are very wide, twice as wide as ordinary market streets, and can accommodate four carriages parallel to each other.

Seems crowded.

Moreover, at regular intervals on the street, there will be a bamboo basket placed on the roadside. There are people with brooms coming and going on the street to clean the street and put the garbage into these bamboo baskets. And when he enters the shopping mall area

, I also saw an ox cart, just picking up the garbage in these bamboo baskets along the street. The garbage in the bamboo baskets was emptied, poured into the ox cart, and then pulled out of the shopping mall area, and sent to no one knows where.

What surprised him even more was that not far after entering the merchant area, the boatman rushed to a certain place. Lin Yiyang quickly asked him what he was going to do. The boatman turned around and said, "I'm going to pay homage to you!"

In fact, urban management in the Ming Dynasty was very backward. It was even far worse than the previous Tang and Song Dynasties. There were very few public toilets on the streets of urban market towns. Many people went to uninhabited places to go out to toilets directly. The dead ends of most city streets are filled with a stinking smell, and there is no designated person responsible for garbage. It seems that garbage is everywhere and messy.

Anyone who comes to Nanyue Island for the first time on land will be surprised by the cleanliness here. Moreover, there are special public toilets at both ends of the street for pedestrians here to use temporarily.

The boatman had obviously been here many times before. After getting off the boat, he felt a little anxious. As soon as he entered the shopping mall area, he went straight to a toilet on the street. On the wall of the toilet, the words "public toilet" were painted in white with big words, and There is a toilet on each side of the street, marked with the words "male" and "male". People who can read can tell at a glance which toilet they should enter and use.

Lin Yiyang was even more surprised that there was a public toilet here. He had not thought about it at first, but when he saw the boatman leaving for the toilet, he couldn't help but lift his legs and follow him in.

After the boatman finished his work, he turned to Lin Yiyang who followed him in and said, "How are you doing, little brother? Is this better than the market towns on land? The people in Sea Wolf here are really thoughtful. There are such facilities on every street corner. Toilet to save someone from peeing in the street!

In addition, although this is Nanyue Island, to put it bluntly, it is a den of thieves, but there are many rules. If someone poops on the street, someone will come to check it, and at the worst, they will be fined five big bucks, so No one here dares to urinate on the street anymore!"

Lin Yiyang looked at the toilet, which was also very clean, with a row of toilets inside, and nodded: "It's really unexpected! It's surprising here! By the way, there are people who are responsible for cleaning these toilets?"

The boatman was obviously very familiar with this place, so he nodded and said while fastening his trousers: "Of course! You don't know that not everyone can clean the toilets here. This excrement is good fertilizer! Now! Nowadays, many people who are farming in Nanyue Island are hoping to get more grain in the fields. These excrement is good fertilizer. Who among those farming doesn't want to use it back to fertilize?

So if anyone wants to collect these feces and urine, they can’t just come here if they want. They have to pay money to the Sea Wolf Gang, and there are rules. They must be cleaned regularly. The several toilets here are not managed by one person. They are assigned to several houses, and if anyone is not in charge, they will be replaced immediately, so as you can see, it is very clean here!"

When Lin Yiyang heard this, he was no longer surprised to describe his mood. He did not expect that a place controlled by pirates could be managed in such a good way. Even the government on land may not be able to manage a place like this. Despite this, since he arrived on the island, the place has surprised him one after another. At this moment, he no longer knows what to say.

After getting out of the toilet, Lin Yiyang asked the boatman: "You just said that there are a lot of farmland here? I heard before that Nanyue Island is not a desert island? Except for some fishermen who make a living by fishing here, there is no What a farmhouse!”

The boatman shook his head and said with a smile: "You really don't know this! What you are talking about is the old almanac! In the past, when Nanyue Island was a shark gang, this place was a desert island. The fishermen were a little bit better, but the island

There are two fishing villages above, and I heard from the fishermen here that their lives were miserable! Those bastards from the Shark Gang would rape the women in their villages at every turn, and there were quite a few women who were forced to jump into the sea to die!

Later, after Master Yu came, he had very strict restrictions on his subordinates. Once I heard that two guys drank too much and dragged a girl to a place where no one was around and raped her. Later, someone reported it to Master Yu.

Even though the boss captured these two men and handed them over to the execution hall, the execution hall beat them up with fifty military sticks without saying a word and tied them to the dock for three days.

I just happened to meet those two people, and they were beaten so badly! No one will dare to harm the people on the island again!

In the past two years, Yu Dang's family has recruited many immigrants from the mainland to the island to open up wasteland and farm. Thousands of acres of land have been opened up on the island and a lot of food has been grown. Yu Dang's family has treated these immigrants quite favorably.

My life is much better than when I was on land!

I have thought about it. If I wait for a while and my life becomes difficult, I will either come to work as an errand for the head of the family, or I will move all my family members here too!

By the way, Nanyue Island no longer wants immigrants. I heard that Mr. Yu’s family has occupied a place on Taiyuan Island. Now if anyone wants to come, they can be sent to Taiyuan Island and three households will be given a cow.

, also helped build houses, and gave piglets and lambs to those who wanted to raise pigs and sheep, and when they grew up, they could be sold to sea wolves!

Every household is given farm tools, and the Sea Wolf tribe is also responsible for providing protection! If the land reclamation is done well, chickens, ducks, and goose seedlings are also given. Two families in our village have gone there. I heard that they are living a pretty good life.

Comfortable!”

"Oh? Is that true? So this person in charge of the Yu family must be a man with great ambitions!" After hearing this, Lin Yiyang nodded repeatedly, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Whether Mr. Yu is ambitious or not, I don't know, and I dare not say, but there is no telling how Mr. Yu is a righteous man! As long as you are of the same mind as him, Mr. Yu will not treat you badly!

Look, how long has it been! What has Nanyue Island become? In the past, except for pirates, there were almost no other people here. Now you can see it, too. People come to the pier every day.

There are often dozens of ships, and people who want to unload goods have to queue up and wait. You have also seen the shopping mall area here, which is more lively than the market towns on land!

This is not along this street, it is a place where small businesses and hawkers gather. People on the island can come here and buy anything they need. Brothers from the island's Sea Wolf also come here often, but they have never heard of it.

As I said about forced buying and selling, everyone deals fairly, and the price will be whatever you change it to be. It’s cheaper than things in market towns on land!

Look at this knife of mine. I bought it here for only a few bucks. If I were on land, I probably wouldn’t have bought it for less than a dozen bucks!"

The boatman was also a warm-hearted chatterbox. He couldn't stop talking once he started talking. As he spoke, he took out a small knife with a leather sheath from his arms and handed it to Lin Yiyang. After Lin Yiyang took it, he took out the small knife and looked at it.

After that, although I can't say that the workmanship is very fine, it is still pretty good, and the blade is very sharp. You can't buy it on land for a few big bucks, which shows that the prices here are really not high.

So the two of them walked while talking, and after a while, they entered a shop with the Lin family's business name on it.
