Building a ship sounds simple, but the more you know about the process, the more you know the difficulty. Not to mention that there are very few craftsmen who can build ships, even if there are, a large part of them are owned by the Ministry of Industry, followed by the places and timber needed for shipbuilding. In these two cases, Fujian has unique conditions, coupled with the unremitting efforts of several generations of marquis of Jinghai Houfu, the ship built by Jinghai Marquis Mansion has today's prestige, and it is not achieved overnight.

Li Qian only took three years to build a ship.

Zhao Xiao remembered the drawings he sent someone from the Ministry of Industry before, and secretly had a bad feeling in his heart, and said to the staff: "Who was responsible for the drawings at that time? After getting them back, I remember that my father once asked, and my fifth uncle personally supervised and made two lucky ships according to the drawings, just because the process is more complicated than our own own, small boats can walk inland, and large ships can only go by sea, and there is no convenience for our own ships, and they were abandoned later." What about the drawings?"

The staff immediately understood what he meant.

This is for fear that the drawings will be taken out by someone with a heart.

"I'll go get it!" he said, stood up, took Zhao Xiao's talisman and went out in person.

Zhao Xiao asked the other staff: "How big is Li Qian's boat? Have you ever tested the water?"

Boats aren't built to work. We still have to test the waters, and we have to improve.

The faces of the other staff members were a little unpleasant. One of the older representatives said: "The ship is not large, and it can hold 50,000 quintals of grain at most, and it has already tested the water, and it is said that it will be tried at the Tongzhou wharf in the spring of next year." ”

Otherwise, they would not have told Zhao Xiao the news at this time, and they would have blocked Zhao Xiao in vain.

Tell him at this time!

Zhao Xiao was so angry that his temper was gone.

He took a deep breath and waited for the staff member with the drawings.

If the drawings in his hand are really lost, it will be troublesome!

The Zhao family must have entered Li Qian's spies.

Li Qian started building ships three years ago, which means that from that time on, he has Li Qian's people by his side, and he is also a person who is very close to him. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get the drawings of shipbuilding.

He felt a little difficult to breathe and tugged at his neckline.

The staff member who went to get the drawings ran in with a happy face, still holding a bunch of scrolls in his hand, and said, "Master Hou, those drawings are still there." Including the seal is there, too. ”

That is, no one has touched these drawings.

So how did Li Qian build the ship?

Zhao Xiao's face turned darker than just now, and he said in a deep voice: "Check! Check it for me! See if any of those honorable shipwrights have anything to do with Li Qian's side." ”

Only they could divulge the secrets of shipbuilding.

Zhao Xiao's eyebrows and eyes were full of murderous energy.

The staff knew that the matter was very important, and his heart was in a pang, and he hurriedly bowed his head and responded "yes".

Li Qian, on his side, did not take the success of shipbuilding too seriously. At this time, he didn't know what these ships would do for him, he just felt that Jiang Xian had spent so much effort to intercept this drawing, so he should find a way to build a boat. lest he have to buy it with Zhao Xiao when he wants to use the boat one day. Just like back then, he needed war horses, but he would rather spend a few more years raising horses by himself than sell them directly from the Tartars.

Some resources have to be pinched in the palm of your hand.

It just so happened that the wind and rain had been smooth in the past few years, and he had made a lot of money whether it was a business with the Dong family or a business with Guo Yonggu, and he had the ability to satisfy Jiang Xian's small wish, so he sent someone to Tianjin Wei and built the dock.

However, what he didn't expect was that the first business of the dockyard actually came from Guo Yonggu.

He didn't know where he heard the news, so he sent his staff over and wanted to order thirty big ships and twenty small ships.

Li Qian was taken aback and said with a smile: "I have only built one ship in the past three years, and your family has ordered fifty ships from me in one go, and I will go to the Year of the Monkey! No, at most I will build five or six ships, if he wants it, don't pull it down!"

Today's Li Qian is not the Li Qian of the past, although Guo Yonggu is running well in Sichuan, as if he is a country of his own, whether it is the imperial court or Li Qian, they have lost control of him, but he does not dare to offend Li Qian.

Where did Guo Yonggu's staff dare to say anything, they could only greet Guo with a smile, saying that they were entrusted by Mrs. Guo Yonggu before setting off and brought a lot of things to Guo and his three grandsons who had not met.

Not long ago, Guo gave birth to a third son.

Kwok was a little disappointed.

She hopes to have a daughter.

Li Ju was very happy.

Because Li Qian and Li Ji both have only one son, the more he has children, the less pressure Li Qian has.

Li Qian knew that the Guo family was going to play the family card, but he really couldn't build many ships, but he didn't want the Guo family to know, so he made an excuse and smiled: "You also know, I grew up in Fujian when I was a child, and I especially wanted to build a sailor." It just so happens that Tianjin can build a boat, and I plan to build a small sailor to try it out, and see if I can kill the bandits together when the time comes. ”

Some time ago, they went to suppress bandits, and only then did they find that there were more water bandits than bandits, and they were more harmful than bandits. It's just that there are not many people in Li Qian's army who know how to water, not to mention suppressing water bandits, it's good not to be killed by water bandits.

Li Qian is not a person who admits defeat, and after knowing it, he jumped like thunder, and made up his mind to suppress all these water bandits, otherwise he would be a long-term winner.

His decision won the unanimous approval of the generals, and everyone began to learn to swim in the water, preparing to form a team to suppress the water bandits.

This matter has not spread yet, but Guo Yonggu has been staring at Li Qian with one eye in the past few years, and Li Qian has not deliberately concealed it, Guo Yonggu will know so quickly that Li Qian can build a ship, and Li Qian has a ship and wants to build a sailor, so it is reasonable.

The staff had to go back and ask Guo Yonggu to show him, so that he could continue to talk to Li Qian about buying a boat.

Since it would take at least two or three months for the letter to go to Sichuan, the staff first went to Taiyuan to visit Guo.

Li Changqing has been well-respected in recent years, and he is getting older, and he has gained a lot of weight, and he heard that Li Qian has built an official boat here, and his first thought is to let Li Qian give him a boat, and he also drove to the lake to show off, but he was poked like a broken ball by Li Ju's words: "Even if the eldest brother sends you a boat, where are you going to stop?" I heard that the Guo family paid 10,000 yuan to buy a boat, do you think gold and silver are important or your face is important!"

He never spoke of the ship again.

However, Guo Shi is a little worried that the two families will have a gap because of this.

She has lived in the Li family for almost ten years, and she has three sons. And after the summer, the eldest son and the second son will be taken to the capital by their father-in-law, study and practice martial arts in the capital, and follow Li Qian to have a future.

At this time, she is most afraid of any twists and turns.

She simply wrote a letter to Jiang Xian.
