Tie Xi didn't pay much attention to Luo Biaoxin's thoughts, and after chatting with Luo Shouzhen and the others for a few more words, Tie Xi slowly spoke: "Grandfather Huang's edict that Lord Fu will give a banquet on my behalf and reward General Luo.""
Fu Ziying came out to receive the order.And Luo Shouzhen also hurriedly knelt down to thank him.Tie Xi withdrew from everyone and went back to the study.He hadn't finished his homework for the day.……………… Fujian.Jiang Chao followed Chao Cuo and more than a dozen shipbuilders on a field trip for several days.I also learned a little about the construction of sea ships.When it comes to his family's life, Jiang Chao is very concerned and asks if he can build an unsinkable ship on the sea.It made all the boatmen laugh.How can there be an unsinkable sea ship in this world, it can only be said that it is built strong enough to withstand the wind and waves at sea for a long time, and if there is no accident, it will not be silent.This made Jiang Chao's heart cold when he heard it.Either it will never sink, or it will sink, and he will die.Chao Cuo's attention was not on the same line as his, what he cared about was how long it would take for the ship to be completed with all the men available.The shipwrights thought for a moment and replied that three months, plus the auxiliary ships, would take about two to three years.And they went together to the docks.The huge ships carrying goods and grain were parked on the docks.Jiang Chao once took a ship to Goryeo, so he was no stranger to this kind of giant ship.The old boatmen pointed to the boats and made mistakes, and Jiang Chao and the two told the difference between different ships.Jiang Chao didn't understand anything, but Chao Cuo understood a lot.After understanding the situation, the two set off for Beijing, and some experienced shipwrights came to Tokyo with them.Fireworks in March, the Siming River is full of fog.In the daytime, there is still a cargo ship on the Siming River in full swing back and forth, and at night, the lanterns are displayed, and the boats are fluttering in the river, and there are sometimes women's gasps in the boat, and sometimes there are men's low roars.A flower boat stopped on the shore, and a teenager stepped out of it.When he walked out, he was still wearing his belt.There were several strong men in black standing on the shore, with a solemn aura in their demeanor.Several people looked at the young man's appearance, and they all sighed, and a disappointment flashed in their eyes.This is already the fourth flower boat that the young man has patronized.Zhu Jinzhong originally arranged to come here as a confidant, but after his sister-in-law Zhu Qiming learned about it, he ran to Zhu Jinzhong's side and kept lobbying, and finally let him succeed."
Eldest son, hurry back to the post station, I have to go to the boat division tomorrow."
The leading man, Yu Qi said solemnly."
No hurry, no hurry, I'll go over there and have a look."
With that, Zhu Qiming jumped off the boat.At this time, a delicate-looking woman poked her head out from the boat cloth."
Childe walks slowly......"
The voice is delicate, and half of the fragrant shoulders are exposed, and the whole person is more charming and more charming."
Haha, the master will come to you tomorrow."
As he spoke, Zhu Qiming looked at the flower building on the shore and the flower boat on the Siming River.The South is so nice."
A few masters, do you want to play too, I'll ask ......"
Several strong men were stunned for a moment, and then they glanced at each other, and they could see each other's hearts............
Fujian Shipyard can be said to be the largest shipyard in the Great Song Dynasty.In fact, the transportation of the Great Song Dynasty has always been very developed, and the connection between the north and the south is also very close, and the same is true in Haijiang, and the shipping with Goryeo has also existed in recent years.However, the sea area between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo was all inland seas, and the way of shipping was not considered a long voyage.Therefore, the expensive voyage ship has never been noticed by the imperial court.Especially after the annual coins for the Liao State increased year by year, and the imperial court had to keep the silver money of the Fujian Shipping Division, the position of the Fujian Shipping Division was more embarrassing.However, no matter what, Caoyun still has a demand for ships, and even if it declines, there are still some officials and shipwrights from the Ministry of Industry who stay behind.Although the ordinary officials of the court did not know that Jiang Chao was going to sea, the shipwrights and officials in the shipping department got the news early.Of course, the news came from dozens of shipwrights in their shipping department who had been taken away by Chao Cuo.The shipwrights smiled as they looked at the huge ship parked in the dockyard that had not yet been set sails.Some of the shipwrights couldn't wait to board the giant ship and stroke his hull, as if they had seen the day when the giant ship Jiaolong entered the sea.At this time, the sky was just dawning.Among the ship's divisions, there were a few unfamiliar faces.It was Zhu Qiming and the others who quietly slipped into the dock.At this time, Zhu Qiming's face was pale, his eye bags were very heavy, and his legs were very soft, and he was happy with eight girls all night, even if he was young, his body was a little unbearable.The guards who followed were full of red faces, they were all martial arts practitioners, and they were temperate and moderate, so that they would not lose their bodies.When everyone walked to the dock, they all saw the huge ship parked in the dock.Zhu Qiming didn't know much, and after seeing the giant ship, he exclaimed. ”This, this ship is so huge?
It's bigger than the flower boat on the Jinling River!"
The eldest prince, this is the important weapon of the country, naturally it is not comparable to the flower boat, the eldest prince said carefully, if the lord knows, it will inevitably be another reproach."
The leader spoke."
Ahem, you know, you know, you don't have to tell my father, I will definitely not treat you masters badly tonight."
After the leader finished speaking, his face was stunned and he sighed, although they still followed the eldest prince last night, they all knew what the degree was, they just relaxed, unlike the eldest prince, who threw half of his life there.The leader nodded lightly, and replied: "After checking the giant ship, we must return to Beijing immediately, otherwise we will miss the master's big event, and we can't afford it." ”Zhu Qiming nodded with a chuckle, and then walked into the boat.Just as he was about to get on the boat, he heard a shout: "What are you doing?"
Who are you?
”After Zhu Qiming heard the voice, he looked back.A middle-aged man in a coarse cloth shirt was running towards him."
Who are you, this is the shipmaster, how did you get in?"
Running closer, the middle-aged man pushed Zhu Qiming away and blocked in front of them.And Zhu Qiming was too presumptuous last night, his legs were very weak, and he fell to the ground with a gentle push from this man.The middle-aged man looked at it and was stunned for a second, this young man was so empty, he didn't have any energy just now."
This young man, what's the matter......"
Zhu Qiming stood up, patted the dust on his body, and didn't care, and said with a chuckle: "I just arrived, I didn't sleep very well last night, so I was not in good spirits, so I didn't stand firm all of a sudden, big brother doesn't have to care." ”After hearing Zhu Qiming's words, all the guards couldn't help but roll their eyes."
Who cares about that?
It has nothing to do with me if you fall into the river, this is an important place for the imperial court, and idlers are not allowed to enter, how did you get in?
”The man reprimanded loudly.When Zhu Qiming heard this, he hurriedly stopped him and didn't let him shout: "Big brother, don't shout, big brother, we are from Tokyo, and we are here to see this giant ship." ”As he spoke, a silver ingot had already appeared in Zhu Qiming's hand.When the man saw the silver, his face changed greatly."
Since it's a heavenly official from Tokyo, why don't you go through the main gate?
You don't want to buy me with these things, although I am not as rich as you, but I also know, what can be taken and what cannot be taken , I listen to your accent, it is indeed a northerner, I don't know what your idea is, but explain to you in advance, I don't want to cause trouble, you don't want to make trouble for me, and leave quickly after reading it. ”This man knows very well that if he accepts this money, he will become an accomplice of these people, although he doesn't know what their idea is, but it is best not to get involved with himself.Seeing that he couldn't eat this set, Zhu Qiming was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, Zhu Qiming still asked with a straight face: "If the imperial court wants to rebuild this huge ship, how long will it take to complete it." ”After hearing this, the man's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Zhu Qiming and the people behind him again.It seems that the rumors are true.The giant ship is still going to be built."
Three or four months, it depends on how many people there are."
Zhu Qiming nodded, and asked again: "There is nothing wrong with this giant ship." ”"Do you look down on our eating skills?"
After listening to Zhu Qiming's words, the man sneered.Seeing that the man was angry, Zhu Qiming hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just want to ask, just ask, big brother, don't be angry, by the way, big brother, have you ever been on a giant ship to sea?"
”The man paused."
Nope.""
And what do you think is on the other side of the sea?""
There are many seas in the Great Song Dynasty, which side are you talking about?"
The man looked disdainful.After Zhu Qiming heard this, he was not angry, but just laughed.Zhu Qiming is a good conversational person, he doesn't have the frame of a big son, although he sometimes acts absurdly, but overall he has not made a big mistake, which is also the reason why he can eat in Tokyo.After chatting for a few words, a little familiar, Zhu Qiming's silver was still given away, and he also knew the man's name, Qian Zhongli.His father was also a shipwright, and the keel of this giant ship belonged to his father, and now the art of eating was also in his hands.Qian Zhongli was also full of interest in the world on the other side of the sea, and after being taken by Zhu Qiming, he chatted with him, and accepted Zhu Qiming's silver by the way.In the end, Qian Zhongli looked at the wind and let Zhu Qiming get on the boat and take a look.Of course, it is only Zhu Qiming.No one in this world is a fool, Zhu Qiming's clothes can be seen, even if this person is definitely not a big official, he must be a wealthy family, he can't afford to provoke him, it is better to borrow the slope to get off the donkey and collect some benefits.And after Zhu Qiming got on the giant ship, he was attracted by the wide space inside, and the thoughts that suddenly popped up in his heart became deeper and deeper.After the sun came out, Zhu Qiming left the Fujian Shipping Division with a group of people.It was a surprise to everyone.After leaving the Fujian Shipping Division, Zhu Qiming wanted to return to Beijing immediately."
Don't go, it's important to get down to business......"
After hearing Zhu Qiming's words, everyone was a little surprised in their hearts.
