Chapter 296: At Sea

Chen Wenjun's brother and sister explained the matter at hand, and then set off for Yizhou Island. This is the first time Chen Wenhui has gone to sea by boat after passing through. In her previous life, Chen Wenhui didn't go out to play, yachts, luxury cruises, I don't know how much, so I just didn't adapt to it on the first day, and I was full of energy on the second day. But Wan Meizhen and the entourage were all dizzy.

Chen Wenjun had already been mentally prepared and prepared a lot of medicinal soups, but seeing that his sister had adapted so quickly, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

At this moment, Chen Wenhui is standing on the deck, enjoying the wonders of the sunset on the sea, the blue sea and blue sky, and from time to time there are fish jumping from the side. Although it was early winter, the boat was heading south, so it didn't feel cold, but warm. Chen Wenhui sighed while enjoying the beautiful scenery, such a beautiful scenery, if there is one more reclining chair, a big umbrella, and a glass of red wine, it will be a supreme enjoyment. Of course, you don't need a bikini, even if you are not afraid of shocking the world, you have to take care of the early winter weather.

Chen Wenjun saw his sister standing alone on the deck, looking at the railing, and couldn't help but walk up and say, "Sister, why are you standing here alone?" ”

Wen Hui looked back and saw that it was the eldest brother, smiled, her beautiful face was framed by the golden sunlight, and she looked very cute: "Hey, don't talk about this, my two maids, don't talk about serving me, now I can't stand up when I'm dizzy, how can I follow and serve?" There are also sister-in-law and sister-in-law's maids, all like this, and my master, who is also dizzy, so I can only stand here alone and enjoy the beautiful scenery. ”

Chen Wenjun smiled slightly and said: "Originally, I was most worried about your body, afraid that you would be seasick, how could I know that you have nothing to do, it's really strange." ”

Wen Hui smiled: "Maybe, I'm naturally suitable for wandering outside, and I won't even get dizzy on the boat." But that's why the ship is so big and stable. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Well, this ship is our biggest lucky ship at present. Much bigger than those clippers. Of course, it's more stable. Moreover, these two days have been calm, so naturally it is better, but. The experienced sailors on board said that there would probably be a storm tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and that would be dangerous. You can't run around then, just stay in the cabin. ”

Wen Hui nodded, how small people are in front of nature, in fact, I saw a big storm when I was sailing on the sea in my previous life, even if I was on a luxury cruise ship at that time, it was still very dangerous, and although the lucky ship I made now is very huge, it is still much worse than the luxury cruise ship in my previous life. Naturally, she wouldn't be stupid enough to fight against nature.

In the next two days, as expected, there were strong winds and waves, and the rainstorm was like a torrential rain, and Wan Meizhen and her family had just gotten better from seasickness, and they began to get more dizzy again. Even Chen Wenhui was very unwell, she could only stay in the cabin, the boat had been shaking very much, Chen Wenhui did not dare to go outside to look, but she knew that her brother had been outside with the captain and sailors to fight the storm.

After two days like this, Chen Wenhui felt that she couldn't hold it anymore. Suddenly the storm passed. Just as it came in such a hurry, it also left in a hurry, and suddenly the weather became clear and calm.

Chen Wenhui took the opportunity to go to the deck to take a look, only to see that it was full of devastation, and the sailors were tired. Went to rest, for the time being no one to clean up, tidy up the deck. Chen Wenjun was also tired, and fell asleep. He hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights.

Strangely, Wan Meizhen went through this storm and got seasick. Seeing her husband so tired, she blamed herself very much, and struggled to start serving Chen Wenjun, Chen Wenhui took the opportunity to make fun of her sister-in-law, and then led the maids to help clean the deck.

In the evening, when the sunset was magnificent, shining on the sea, the sailors also rested and began to sail, Chen Wenhui and Wan Meizhen enjoyed the sunset on the deck together, and sometimes asked the sailors to get some sea fish and the like, and instructed the maids to get seafood to eat.

After another day, he finally arrived at the first supply point, which was a small island, which Chen Wenjun had already explored, and sent men on it to be responsible for supplying fresh water to passing ships. The island is uninhabited, but there is a small freshwater river and a large area of woods. Chen Wenjun's men carved out a clearing in the middle of the woods, built a house to live in, and at the same time made a simple dock and built a supply depot.

Chen Wenhui and the others have been bored on the boat for a few days, so they took the opportunity to get off the boat and go to the dock to play by the beach. Chen Wenhui took the opportunity to say to her eldest brother: "Brother, this island is not big, but it is not small, it is still possible to build a few more houses, and this small island is full of green trees, the hills are bright, and the beach is full of white and fine sand, how beautiful." If we build some inns and the like, it is also good to let the passing ships and merchants come to rest while they are replenished, and we can also let some people from the mainland who are willing to come to the beach to play. ”

Chen Wenjun understood that it meant to let people come to this island to play, which was also a good idea, so he said, "I think you want to stay here for a day, right?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled: "We have been on the ship for several days, and we have experienced a storm in the middle, it is better to rest here, sleeping in the cabin for so many days is also shaky, it is better to rest on this land for one night, and relax." β€œ

Chen Wenjun said: "This is okay. It's just that the houses on the island were originally for the people who stayed here, and they were all very simple, so how can you all live with women? Why don't you stay next time? I'm going to send people here to build some better houses, fully equipped, like you said, we can take a break when we pass by, and when we don't use it, we will hand it over to the people on the island, so that we can make some money to subsidize it. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Brother, this is a good idea, we are not short of this money, so we will give all the money we earn to the guards on the island as a subsidy, so that the passing merchants are also convenient, we are also convenient, and the personnel on the island are also benefited, it is really a triple win." It's a pity that we can't enjoy it this time. ”

Chen Wenjun smiled slightly, sent someone to call the person in charge of the island over, and told him about the decision, the person in charge was very happy, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, the eldest prince, our island is good now." In fact, life on this island is clean, there are not many ships passing by, and we only get a month's money every month, and there is no place to spend it. A few of us were idle, so we reclaimed some wasteland, planted some vegetables and the like, and it was still okay to eat by ourselves. If the eldest prince builds many inns on the island like this, we can grow some greens, and we can sell some of them when the time comes, and this life will be even better. ”

Chen Wenjun smiled and said, "Have you all brought your wife?" Can you still adapt to these few months here? ”

This man said: "We have grown vegetables, raised chickens and ducks, piglets, cattle and sheep, all brought by passing ships, and there is food distribution every month, and we also take monthly money, and the weather here is good, very warm, much better than the bitter cold in our north." ”

While he was talking, Chen Wenhui found that this person was relatively old, with a weathered face and a northeastern accent. After he left, Wen Hui said, "Brother, is this a person from our clan?" ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Yes, in our clan, there are some people who were injured in the war, disabled, and difficult to live, and some of them are sons who died in the war, and the old people have no one to support them, and there are orphans. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "In this way, big brother, you can find more such supply islands along the way, and build inns, which can rest for passing merchants, and can also develop tourism in the future, so that more clansmen can be arranged." ”

Chen Wenjun nodded.

That night, they didn't get off the boat, quietly facing the night sky, the sky was full of stars, the sea was sparkling, and the island looked dark because it was dark, and they were all immersed in tranquility.

The next day, they began to sail again.

On the way, I sailed for more than ten days, passing through three supply points, and finally arrived at Xinguang City on Yizhou Island.

It is easy to do things with money, because they already have experience in building Shanghai City, and the craftsmen are also skilled workers, and they have built Shanghai City well, and they have all been brought to Xinguang City by Chen Wenjun at a high price. These people are very skillful and do the work quickly, and by the time Chen Wenhui and the others arrived, Xinguang City had already built the wharf.

Xinguang City is not as big as Shanghai City, so it doesn't cost so much money to build, and this city is different from Shanghai City, Shanghai City is a city of Dachu, so it is natural to have a corresponding system, and this Xinguang City is a city of Yizhou Island, so it is naturally not in accordance with the system of Dachu. The city was not built with walls. This was brought up by Chen Wenhui.

At this rate of development, it is believed that gunpowder will soon be applied, and once the era of cold weapons is over, what will those tall walls do? Moreover, in this era, Europeans are still living a poor and backward life, and there are still a group of people who drink blood in North and South America. This way, there is no need to spend huge sums of money on building city walls.

However, there are still streets, sewers, and so it is easier to shop pΓΉ, and Shin Kong City is only responsible for selling land, not construction, so it saves a lot of things. If you want to have a house or a shop in Xinguang City, you will naturally go to the city lord's mansion to sell land and invite craftsmen to build it. In this way, although Xinguang City makes less money, it also invests less and has fewer things.

Of course, Chen Wenhui bought land for herself as soon as possible and began to build her own house and shop.
