Chapter 190 Careful work

After Jiang Lili and the pirates took the 600 kilograms of fish handed over by the fishermen, they came to the coast.

The third pirate leader Rong Yi couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how are you going to finish these 300 kilograms of fish?"

For this month, they could be said to have lived down on the South Bank.

There are boxed lunches and fruits for two meals a day, and tents are provided for accommodation. There is no need to live in a cramped and stuffy cabin, eat fish for every meal, or worry about going hungry or going out for robbery in fear.

Although Jiang Lili ordered them to work, they didn't have to work every day.

Miss Jiang would also pay them wages, and provide them with rice and oil.

Having been used to the life of pirates living on the edge of a knife, they now feel extremely happy in this stable and comfortable life.

However, there are also people who still dream of getting rich quickly. Jiang Lili also saw that these people were not satisfied with the status quo, and they made many promises, saying that they were just taking a temporary break and would be able to get rich in a month or two.

The fourth boss, Ge Zhu, was a man with quick eyes. Seeing Jiang Lili collect so many fish, he immediately guessed what his leader was thinking: "Do you want us to help you dry the fish? I'll do it right away!"

Jiang Lili shook her head: "No, release all these fish!"

The pirates all looked confused: "Huh? Six hundred kilograms of fish!"

Although they have been at sea for so many years and are tired of eating fish, it would be a shame to just let go of these 600 kilograms of fish. Even if they were made into dried fish, they could sell for a lot of money.

Jiang Lili took out a string of beads from her sleeve that cost 3.5 yuan a string at the wholesale market and turned it over in her hands: "I've had nightmares recently and I can't sleep well."

She said with deep remorse: "I asked Granny Zheng who knows witchcraft in the village, and she said it was our people who were hunting in the forest and angered the mountain god."

Rong Yi asked very straightforwardly: "You are as black-hearted as a crow, and you still believe this?"

This girl can even use tricks to deceive animals like eagles and monkeys, so why would she believe in the mountain god?

"Cough cough cough..."

Jiang Lili almost lost her composure. She said with compassion, "I am also doing this for the good of the village. This concerns the entire village, so I have to be cautious."

"Granny Zheng asked me to perform a ritual of releasing animals once a month. The more animals I release and the more pious they are, the more my sins can be offset."

She said righteously, "Okay, don't mention this to the villagers. Life is not easy for everyone. I will take care of everything."

Everyone had to obey the leader's order. The fish were not theirs anyway, and the coconut chicken hotpot was prepared by someone hired by Jiang Lili.

Jiang Lili was twisting the beads and chanting a spell she had made up.

As soon as the fish were put into the sea, Jiang Lili gave a red envelope to Xiaopang. This action also made her behavior of asking for so many fish seem more reasonable.

She discovered a bug. If she encountered a school of fish at sea, she could directly select the school of fish and send them to Xiaopang without catching them, but they had to be within her line of sight.

At night, the children of Yuanbao Gang came to the wooden house at the foot of the mountain to provide information to Jiang Lili: "Boss Jiang, I found that the two fishermen you asked us to keep an eye on like painting."

Jiang Lili is looking through a list of books to see which modern books can be moved here to benefit the villagers.

Hearing the children say that the two Zhang brothers were drawing in the tent, Jiang Lili asked with some doubt in her tone: "Drawing?"

The children rushed to add the news: "Yes, the other fishermen were resting or chatting. They were drawing with parchment rolls and the carbon black from burning charcoal. I happened to see it."

"But we can't see what the painting is about."

Jiang Lili was pondering the matter when she heard Wen Xiaomei's serious speculation: "On weekdays, when we are taught to paint in school, we all use brushes and rice paper. The tools used by these two fishermen brothers are very different from us, especially the paper. They actually use sheepskin scrolls."

Xin Yan continued Wen Xiaomei's words, "Grandmother said that only things like maps would be drawn on precious parchment scrolls, which are easy to preserve, difficult to be damaged by water, and will not wear out even if you look at them frequently."

After listening to this, Jiang Lili's mind was opened. When she saw the hands of the two brothers of the Zhang family, she had doubted the identities of these two people.

Now that I have heard my younger sister's speculation, these two people might be spies, and the map they drew is the map of their South Island.

It’s just the identities of these two people…

If they were from the imperial court, they would have established Dan'er County on the South Island and hidden heavy troops in the mountains. The maps and topographic maps must have been fully drawn, so there would be no need to draw them secretly and improvisely like this.

Jiang Lili suddenly remembered that the fishermen said that these two people were very familiar with the distribution of fish in the South China Sea.

Then there is a greater possibility that these two people grew up on the sea. Maybe they are spies sent by a tribe or a small country on these islands, who want to find out what is happening in the south of Haizhou Island, which is not well controlled on the border of the Dasheng Dynasty.

After Wen Xiaomei finished speaking, another little girl added: "I also think that the tools they use for painting are very novel, but when we think of what Boss Jiang told us not to alert the enemy, we didn't ask any more questions and went to listen to other fishermen's stories about their trips to the sea."

Jiang Lili listened to Wen Xiaomei and Xin Yan's speculations, and heard that the child who was speaking was only about five or six years old and used two idioms in one sentence. She felt very relieved. It seemed that the teaching at the Yeli School founded by her mother Yang was very effective.

After settling down in Yeli Village, Yang talked to Jiang Lili about opening a school. Jiang Lili discussed it with the villagers. They decided that the children could not run around the village all day, so they set up a house in the village to teach the children to read and write.

Lady Yang, wife of Marquis Zhaoping, served as the teacher, teaching the children how to write and draw, while Lady Chen taught the children how to count. Xin Cheng, who was developing weapons such as fire poles, would occasionally come over to teach the children knowledge from science picture books when he had time.

The tuition fee of the school is also symbolic, and the children are asked to pay the tuition with pheasant eggs or coconuts.

Compared with ordinary children, these children who have experienced exile are calmer, more sensible and more willing to learn.

The children always remember that when they were hungry and had nothing to eat on Qinglin Mountain, it was Jiang Lili's family who taught them how to identify mushrooms so that they could fill their stomachs instead of having to eat stone-like naan.

The idea of ​​learning skills is ingrained in their minds.

Now that someone is taking care of the children, the villagers, as parents, feel much more relieved and can go to the village craftsmen to learn skills and do farm work without any worries.

The villagers became more and more respectful towards the Zhaoping Marquis family, and sighed that they were worthy of being the Zhaoping Marquis family, who were the backbone and guardian of the group no matter where they were.

At this time, Yuanbao, who had just spoken, helped the little girl take out a bunch of small shells from his small purse and said, "By the way, these two big brothers are very nice. They gave us beautiful shells and conchs, which are not often seen on our coast. Take a look, Boss Jiang."
