Pirate Song

Chapter 54: Crouching Tiger Village

Gao Huaiyuan sorted out his thoughts. Although he was not very familiar with this period of history, he knew something about it. If this situation continues, the fate of the Jin Kingdom and Xixia will naturally be destroyed. History is still there.

How much time will be left for him?

A sense of urgency arose spontaneously, and Gao Huaiyuan felt that it was time to speed up the progress! So after thinking about it for a while, and considering that things at the old house had basically been sorted out, he asked Xue Yan to stay in the old house.

Taking care of things at the old house, I took Liu'er with me and rushed back to the villa to start busy with things there!

The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is relatively short. With the warm wind blowing, just after the Spring Festival, the place is full of spring. The mountains and fields are full of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. Walking on the road to the villa, you can see the quiet mountains and forests, and the dense bamboo forests are green and tall.

, the surroundings were quiet and one could only hear the chirping of birds in the empty valley, and the mood that had been dormant all winter suddenly became aroused. The winter jasmine flowers all over the mountains and fields spread out like a big bright yellow carpet, and the mood became active again with the yellow color.

Such scenery made Gao Huaiyuan feel much better. Now that we have come to this era, it is useless to be nervous. Just do what you have to do and have nothing to regret in the future. Although the Song Dynasty may eventually be destroyed under the iron heel of the Mongols.

, but after all, there is still some time left. If he continues to be immersed in this kind of worry, he will no longer be able to enjoy this life. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?

After thinking about this, Gao Huaiyuan let go of the uneasiness in his heart and sang with great courage: "The sea laughs, the tide surges across the strait, ups and downs follow the waves, only remembering the present..."

This was the first time Liu'er heard Gao Huaiyuan sing, so she stretched her head out of the carriage and listened carefully. Gao Huaiyuan habitually sang this song in Cantonese. She couldn't quite understand the lyrics, but for this

But I really liked the tune, it was fresh and pleasant, so I started humming along with Gao Huaiyuan gently.

The villa is still bustling with activity. Looking from the foot of the mountain, hidden among the green trees, it is really a wonderful place. Gao Huaiyuan is really grateful to Gao Laogen for having such a good place to stay here.

If it weren't for this guy, how could he have such a pure place to stand? Poor Gao Laogen, I don't know where he has gone now and what kind of life he is living, but Gao Huaiyuan won't do it now

to miss him.

Since Gao Huaiyuan came to live in the villa, the construction work here has accelerated a bit. In addition, Gao Huaiyuan has relatively abundant financial support. Zhuangzi, which was originally expected to take three months to complete, actually completed it in less than two months.

finished.

Standing in the newly built house, smelling the smell of lime smeared on the walls, all the young men looked happy. Although it was a hard time, they saw that with their help, each house finally turned into a new one.

After it was completed, everyone had a strong sense of belonging here. From now on, it would be the home of these orphans!

Gao Huaiyuan is generally satisfied with the construction quality of these houses, but he just feels that the walls made of plaster are not as strong as cement, but there is no such thing as cement in this era! He can only

That's it! But in my heart, I'm thinking about whether the next step is to burn some cement if I see a big project somewhere? Anyway, the technological content of this thing is not too high, and the raw materials are easily available. If it is really used,

, but it is also a way to make money.

After paying off the wages of the craftsmen and tenants, these people quickly tidied up the yard, then happily thanked Gao Huaiyuan for the generous reward and left the villa. The inside of the villa suddenly became quiet.

Looking at the tall wall, Gao Huaiyuan and the people here felt very fond of it. If you want to see the situation inside from the outside, it is basically impossible now. Huang Yan looked at the empty door lintel and suddenly looked at Gao Huaiyuan.

Huaiyuan said: "I'm talking to you, boss! This is a villa after all! I don't think it's majestic enough without a name. We can't just call it Gaojiazhuang. That's too vulgar! Otherwise, you can name this place for us."

Let’s name it with dignity! How about letting everyone remember our name in the future?”

Even Zhou Hao, who usually doesn't like to talk, nodded: "That's right! Brother, you might as well give our place a resounding name!"

Gao Huaiyuan felt that there was nothing wrong with what they said. If he wanted people here to have a real sense of belonging in the future, it would be good to give them a resounding name. So he thought about it for a moment and immediately said: "Since you said that,

, then our place will be called Crouching Tiger Villa from now on!"

After everyone heard this, they immediately burst into cheers. Gao Huaiyuan also specially bought a hanging firecracker, hung it on the door and lit it. After crackling for a while, everyone rushed into the villa after winning a fortune.

among.

Although the house was still a little damp, these teenagers didn't care about it and immediately moved to the new house at the back and started cleaning it.

Gao Huaiyuan watched them tidy up the room and nodded with satisfaction. It looked like a military camp. It seemed that during this period, the new people who came all these years had also adapted to the life here.

, the awareness of obedience has long been ingrained. Although they are still teenagers, Gao Huaiyuan believes that as long as time is given, he will be able to train these guys into a group of warriors who are good at fighting.

In the days that followed, life here in the villa returned to what it was before. When I heard the rooster crow for the first time in the morning, I immediately got up and lined up to do exercises. They performed the necessary daily physical strengthening training. At the same time, these teenagers also had to undergo some simple training.

In the past, Huang Yan and Zhou Hao were responsible for teaching them practical fist, kick, and weapon training. Now that Gao Huaiyuan came, he replaced them and took charge of this matter himself.

This group of teenagers really knew how powerful Gao Huaiyuan was. They performed the same exercises every day. They were all dressed lightly and ran with Gao Huaiyuan. After running one lap, they all felt like they were getting distracted. But look at Gao Huaiyuan.

Huaiyuan had to put on an outfit filled with iron sand and run like them every day. Even Huang Yan and Zhou Hao also had to put on sandbag outfits and go out together. These teenagers were completely speechless!

In the past, they sometimes complained about this kind of running, but Gao Huaiyuan told them that they should not underestimate this kind of running. It is a very exercising thing. Often when you feel that you have no strength, you can still do it.

To persevere is a good exercise for perseverance, and it can also greatly strengthen their body. So after getting used to it, these people will feel awkward if they don't run for a day. In this way, their bodies will also become stronger.

many.

After the exercise training, it was breakfast. After dinner, everyone was busy in the backyard workshop under the command of Gao Huaiyuan, packing up various things and preparing for the commissioning of the soap workshop. Gao Huaiyuan only allowed the teenagers to participate in this kind of thing. Zhuangzi

The other servants inside were not allowed to enter the backyard in order to keep it secret. Only these young men were the ones he could trust.

In addition, Gao Huaiyuan continued to insist on making these teenagers literate and continued to have Zhou Junlai teach them. He also served as a math teacher himself, teaching these teenagers Arabic numerals and common math methods. With his ability, he taught this thing

That's something that's easy to do. It doesn't require advanced teaching anyway, just knowing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is enough. When these young men mature, even if they are not suitable to be soldiers, they will be able to handle some accounts and other matters for them.

The bows and arrows that Mr. Xing had given them before had finally begun to work after these young men received rigorous training. Generally speaking, the bows of the Song Dynasty were divided into three grades, and generally the strongest one was the Nine Dou Huang Hua.

Bows, the weaker ones include the Eight-Dou Bow, and the last one is the Seven-Dou Mabei Bow. As for the two-stone strong bow used by Gao Huaiyuan, it is definitely a non-standard weapon. It is a super perverted guy and cannot be considered normal.

! You must know that the most powerful divine arm crossbow equipped in the army of the Song Dynasty was only two stones and one fight. It relied on the foot pedal and all the strength of the whole body to pull it open. And Gao Huaiyuan is now playing with the two stone hard bow. Naturally

You can’t use common sense to measure it!

It was this kind of seven-double hemp-backed bow that Mr.

For this reason, Gao Huaiyuan specially set aside a place behind the villa and set up archery targets and other objects for these teenagers to practice their shooting skills. In this regard, Gao Huaiyuan is also the best among the three of Huang Yan and Zhou Hao, so he does his part.

It was still guided by him personally.

Only those who can draw the Seven Dou Bow will have the opportunity to practice archery in the backyard, so it has become a symbol of honor among them. Who said that archers are weak in the army? Gao Huaiyuan does not believe this.

The purpose of evil is to elevate the status of archers. He said that archers are the strong ones who dominate the battlefield, and only fools act as cannon fodder! So this immediately aroused the enthusiasm of these guys to practice archery.

During this period, Gao Huaiyuan kept leaving the villa and went to Daye County or the surrounding Yangxin County to purchase raw materials from various places. He was just a little depressed about buying salt. Since ancient times, all dynasties have only

Xu Guanfu dealt in salt, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, the official salt was of inferior quality and high price. If he bought it back, he would have to boil it again and purify it again, which wasted a lot of time and energy. Fortunately, Xue Yan had been on the road before and knew

There was a place where he could buy high-quality private salt, so Gao Huaiyuan immediately asked Xue Yan to buy a batch of private salt, which he transferred to Wohu Village in batches for storage. The rest was to purchase alkaline alkaline or soil alkali.

He also contacted many butchers and regularly sent fat pigs to Wohu Village.

After struggling like this for a while, everything was finally settled and we just had to choose a day to start work! dd
