Daming pirates

Although the Criminal Court has always strictly investigated those who embezzled military pay and enriched their own pockets, and every one caught would be counted and dealt with severely, but interests can always drive some bold people to show their dirty hands.

hand.

Therefore, we must find ways to prevent this kind of thing from happening in terms of system construction, minimize the number of people who get involved, and reduce the possibility of being exploited.

So Yu Xiaotian thought of a method commonly used by later generations of units, which is to open a bank under the board of directors. Every member of the Sea Wolf tribe would open a personal account in the bank, and when the board of directors pays the salary,

Allocate the salary to the bank, and the bank will directly send the salary to the individual accounts of the members.

In this way, the process of payment transfer is reduced, and no one can deduct the salary from the members. When the members of the Sea Wolf tribe need money, they can withdraw cash from the bank's personal account.

When the time comes, just let the salary or reward money lie in the account, eliminating the need for them to keep it personally and carry it around with them in case of possible theft or loss.

Before this, whether on board the ship or in the military camp, there were cases where the pay issued by the tribesmen was not kept well, stolen or lost. As a result, the tribesmen no longer carried the pay with them, and this was eliminated.

situation occurs.

This method immediately won the support of the Sea Wolf tribe, and it also brought a benefit, that is, the Sea Wolf Council can obtain a considerable amount of deposits, whether it is used for investment or lending, so that every time the Sea Wolf comes

The burden when paying wages has been reduced a lot.

In the past, when Sea Wolf paid out wages, they often had to prepare a large amount of cash, and when paying out, they had to queue up to collect the wages. Many of the silver coins were in large ingots, and they had to be cut into pieces with special scissors. It was very troublesome, and it was very difficult for the cash.

Silver is in great demand.

However, after adopting this method of paying wages or rewarding silver on behalf of the bank, there is no longer a need to mobilize a large amount of cash when the Sea Wolf pays the wages. The Sea Wolf tribe now provides good treatment to the tribe, including food, drink and food.

They also have to live in and distribute clothing. In addition, the Sea Wolf tribe has a strict system. The Sea Wolf tribe only has four days of rest every month, one day every seven days, and they have to leave the team in batches. The rest of the time must be on the ship or in the barracks.

Even if you don't have to go to work at night, you still have to stay in the camp, so there is basically not much money to spend.

In this way, the bank does not need to prepare a large amount of cash, but only needs to prepare a small amount of cash for the limited Sea Wolf tribe to withdraw cash.

Therefore, after this method was launched, it relieved a lot of pressure on cash expenditures for the Council. At first, when it was first implemented, the Sea Wolf tribe members were a little uneasy. Some people took the time to withdraw their salary as soon as they were paid.

, keep it with you, or give it to family members for safekeeping.

But as time went by, they discovered that doing so was asking for trouble. The Seawolf Council allowed them to pay and withdraw cash from the internal bank at any time. It was inconvenient for them to carry it with them, and they were not at ease. It was of no use leaving it to their families. They also had to

Trying to hide it for fear of losing it.

So gradually fewer and fewer people were withdrawing cash. Later, most of the Sea Wolf tribe simply stopped withdrawing cash easily and let the money just sit in their accounts. On the contrary, they felt more at ease.

Some members of the Sea Wolf tribe were killed in battle or died in accidents during their work. The bank would receive the news soon and immediately withdraw all the money in their accounts and hand it over to their families. This happened several times.

After the incident, the bank also established their credit, which made the Sea Wolf tribe feel relieved about them.

Yu Xiaotian also attaches great importance to the dietary situation of the Sea Wolf tribe, and tries his best to provide better diet for the Sea Wolf tribe within the scope of conditions, so that they can obtain more adequate nutrition.

They are very satisfied. As long as they work among the sea wolves, they can eat a lot and be full. Although most of the food they eat is brown rice, this brown rice is not adulterated and is actually made from brown rice.

There are also vegetables as complementary food, and the dishes are often varied. Even if there is no guarantee that there will be meat or fish for every meal, there are still many varieties, and every two or three days, at least one can be mixed in.

Fish or a meal of meat.

When going on a mission, like the navy sailing out to sea, or soldiers going on patrol, they eat better. You can have a meaty meal almost every day.

For people who used to struggle with being half-starved, half-full, or even not full at all, and who might not have been able to eat a single meal of meat a year before, now the quality of the food makes them very satisfied.

But Yu Xiaotian still feels inadequate about this. He came from later generations, and of course he knows the quality of people's diet. Meat is no longer a rarity in later generations. As long as ordinary families eat a meaty meal every day, it is not

problem, so that people in later generations can obtain a relatively sufficient supply of protein. In many cases, they can also eat fresh fruits to supplement various vitamins and trace elements. As for things like vegetables, needless to say, they can be replaced

I eat all kinds of things, but I still think the food is not good.

Ordinary people in this era basically have no non-staple food. What they mainly eat is some brown rice, and a large amount of potato shreds are added to replace the brown rice. Only when doing heavy work will they eat pure brown rice. Many people even

I don’t even dare to eat pure brown rice for a few meals throughout the year. The so-called vegetables are just some vegetables grown at home, and most of them have to be pickled. I can’t bear to eat them, so I can only eat some pickles with it. Even the people in the mainland don’t even have salt.

Dare to eat more, not to mention the nutritional balance.

Therefore, the nutritional sources of the people in this era are basically some carbohydrates, and their protein intake is very small. Therefore, the people in this era have a huge appetite and must eat more carbohydrate foods to meet the needs of the body. At the same time, they work

The physical exertion is also very high, leaving many people in a state of malnutrition, including children, who are all sallow and thin. It is rare to see fat people. As long as they are fat, they basically only appear in wealthy families.

, ordinary people have no chance of eating fat.

For his subordinates, Yu Xiaotian doesn't want them to feel miserable, so when it comes to food, he tries his best to provide them with better food to ensure their needs. In this regard, he can say

It's done well.

However, there were still some problems with diet and nutrition in the naval fleet, which made Yu Xiaotian feel very dissatisfied.

In this era, when ships go to sea, it is easy to say that fishing boats will return in a day or two, but once warships go to sea, it can take as short as three or four days and as long as ten days, just like those smuggling ships that have recently been sent to the coasts of Guangdong and Guangxi in large numbers.

, it will take at least a month to two months once you go out, or even longer.

There are also merchant ships in the merchant fleet. Apart from the ships that carry goods to the coast of Fujian, they are short-distance voyages and there will be no problems. But now many ships go as close as Macau or Da Yuan Hongmao City in Tainan.

The farther ones have to go to Manila, Batavia (Batavia), Vietnam, Dadi, Ryukyu, Japan and other places. This trip will take at least a few months or even half a year.

As a result, the quality of the crew's food is worrying. Although those who travel long distances will stop at some ports to replenish some food on the way, it is more difficult to replenish it, and the variety is uncertain, not to mention fresh.

Especially for those privateer ships, they have to operate in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas where pirates are numerous. They are always on the enemy's territory. It is even more difficult to replenish them. It is good to have fresh water on board.

When these boats go out, the Council often loads them with enough rice and a lot of salted meat and fish. Occasionally, they can also use the fish prepared on the boat and catch some seafood to supplement their diet, but vegetables

But things like fruits and vegetables cannot be stored for a long time in the southern sea where the temperature is relatively high. If you go out and take some with you, eat them quickly, otherwise they will rot.

Therefore, they often relied on the brown rice, pickles, salted meat and fish carried on the ship to meet their needs. As a result, the crew often suffered from severe vitamin deficiency and suffered from various diseases such as beriberi and scurvy.

The biggest enemies of sailors in this era are not necessarily pirates, but their biggest enemies are often malnutrition and vitamin deficiency. Many sailors will die of various vitamin deficiency diseases when they go to sea for a long time and lack medical treatment and medicine.

People don’t know much about nutritional problems, and naturally they don’t know how to solve them.

The crew of the Sea Wolf naturally faced such problems, which affected the morale of the seafarers to a certain extent, making some seafarers afraid of traveling far away for fear of falling ill and dying on the way.

So Yu Xiaotian really wants to solve this problem. This kind of thing can be solved partly with enough canned food in later generations. But in this era, canned food has not been invented yet, so pickled food can only be used to solve the problem of non-staple food for the crew.

.

In order to solve the problem of canned food, later generations mostly used tinplate to make cans to package sealed food, or plastic material packaging, or aluminum alloy packaging. However, these things did not exist in this era. With Yu Xiaotian's scientific and technological knowledge

, there is no way to solve it.

So he can only focus on glass. Nowadays, his glass industry is developing well, and the output of glass products is increasing. In addition to the various glass products sold on land, he already has remaining production capacity.

Come and help him solve this problem.

But the sealing cannot be solved by tinplate, but the earliest glass cans also did not have tinplate, and the problem was solved by using cork.

So he ordered the craftsmen in the glass factory to trial-produce various glass bottles, first using the blowing method, but blowing glass bottles required considerable skills, and very few craftsmen in the glass factory could reach such a level, so he could only

Continue to use mold blowing for production.

After these glass jars were made, Yu Xiaotian cut some fruits into the glass jars, added some sugar, put them in a steamer, steamed them, and then sealed them with the same sterilized cork after high-temperature sterilization.

, in this way, a glass fruit can is made.
