Shen Wen circled the sea whale bone five times before stopping.

"Is this really human?" Shen Wen asked.

Changshi Fan Bo smiled and said, "It's true, and it was Master Chen Zheng and Li Shuang Gongzi who killed this sea whale." ”

Shen Wen patted his forehead and said, "Ah, yes, I remembered, it was already written in the Di newspaper." Amazing, amazing! ”

Li Shuang smiled slightly and said, "To be able to hunt this sea whale, in addition to the desperate efforts of the brothers on the ship at that time, the greatest credit belongs to Brother Chen." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it! Shen Wen said politely.

Shen Wen was very embarrassed to have a misunderstanding with Chen Zheng just now, so now he is much more cautious.

"Because the whaling ship and the equipment on board were all made by Brother Chen." Li Shuang said.

"Is this the big treasure ship?" Shen Wen pointed to the boat under his feet and asked.

Chen Zheng saw that the other party's attitude had changed, and he didn't care about what happened before, so he responded: "The main role of this big treasure ship is to transport and look good, if you use it for fishing, the effect will be greatly reduced." ”

"Aren't these all boats? Is there a difference? Shen Wen said.

As a Honglu Temple Minister, Shen Wen's duty is to receive envoys and usher in them, and he doesn't know much about some practical things.

However, Shen Wen does not have the arrogance of ordinary officials, he does not know how to pretend to understand, and his attitude is sincere enough, so it is not difficult to get along.

So Chen Zheng patiently introduced the structure of different hulls and the applicable scenarios to Shen Wen.

Shen Wen suddenly realized and said, "It's really better to listen to your words, and it's better to read...... Well, ten years is a bit more, better than three years of study, there are still some. ”

Everyone was amused by Shen Wen's joke, and they all laughed happily, even if there were those who didn't listen to it, they all laughed in agreement, and for a while, the ship was full of cheerful atmosphere.

Chen Zheng took advantage of this effort and gave Li Shuang a look.

Li Shuang immediately understood and understood what Chen Zheng was thinking.

Because Li Shuang's father Li Gang and this Shen Wen are old friends, there are some words that are more suitable for him.

"Dare to ask your lordship, why are you here alone today?" Li Shuang asked cautiously.

Shen Wen sighed lightly and said, "This sea whale bone is also a rare treasure, and the relevant honor guards were originally arranged, but it turned out to be just in time for the Song State envoy group to arrive today, so everyone else in the Honglu Temple is busy with the affairs of the envoy group." ”

"That's really wronged." Li Shuang hurriedly showed an embarrassed expression.

Shen Wen snorted lightly and said, "What is there to be wronged by Lao Shizi?" Being able to carefully observe this sea whale bone in advance is much more interesting than meeting those envoys. Those people, just regret it! ”

Although Shen Wen said so, Chen Zheng could also hear it, and there was still a little complaint in his words.

However, this Shen Wen is really good, he didn't spill his resentment on them, but accepted it and did his own thing seriously.

What's even more rare is that he still refuses to accept bribes, which is probably the reason why he was excluded in Honglu Temple.

What is the place of Honglu Temple, it is a place specially responsible for reception, and there must be a lot of false accounts and kickbacks.

But Shen Wen is a clear stream, such a person, others are definitely not willing to do things with him.

For example, this time the envoy group of the Song State sent Daliang, this series of reception tasks, just in the accounts, can do a lot of tricks, can Shen Wen participate in this kind of thing?

If Shen Wen participated, then many people would have a lot less gray income, which was unacceptable to them, so Shen Wen was sent to meet Dongyang County's tribute, after all, in their opinion, there was much less oil and water.

Now that he understood what was going on, Chen Zheng changed the topic and said, "This sea whale bone lord has already seen it, do you want to count the items that have been paid tribute with the ship from all over the world." ”

Shen Wen showed a rather helpless expression and said, "According to the process, it is indeed necessary to check the accounts one by one, but at present, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete this work by the official alone." ”

After pondering for a while, Shen Wen said: "That's it, the main item of this tribute is still this sea whalebone, as long as there is nothing wrong with this thing, then there is no big problem." As for the tributes that came with the ships from all over the country, they didn't check it, and handed over the accounts to the Honglu Temple, and it was fine. ”

Chen Zheng and Li Shuang glanced at each other, it seems that they were still a little timid before, people really don't look down on these things, even Shen Wen doesn't pay attention to them, if they change to the temple next to them, it is estimated that they will directly discuss how to distribute it.

Since Shen Wen was unwilling to check, Chen Zheng and the others were naturally happy.

Shen Wen saw that everything was ready, he was very satisfied, and said: "Since everything has been done, let's go to the Honglu Temple level accommodation, and see when Your Majesty is free, I will summon you to meet you." ”

For this arrangement, Chen Zheng and the others had no reason to object, when they came to Kyoto, everything had to obey the command, which was the entrustment of Li Gang, the commander of Dongyang County, to them.

In fact, those who are qualified to be arranged by Honglu Temple are Chen Zheng, Li Shuang, Changshi Fan Bo, and scribe Lu Desheng, like Wei Dayong and others, Shen Wen didn't consider them at all.

Of course Wei Dayong will not be annoyed, he is still happy to be free, these boatmen have some spare money in their hands, and they wish that no one would restrain them, and go to Kyoto for a good visit.

Chen Zheng and the four followed Shen Wen to Honglu Temple, and after registering the book, Shen Wen arranged a place for them to live.

"This official has another question, I don't know if anyone of you can solve the puzzle?" After Shen Wen made arrangements, he suddenly asked.

"If Lord Shen has any questions, even if we say so, we will try our best to answer them." Long history Fan Bodao.

"How do you get the whalebone off the ship when it's so huge?" Shen Wen asked.

Chen Zheng smiled slightly beside him and said, "At this point, Lord Shen doesn't need to worry, since we can carry him to the ship, we can naturally move him down." ”

"How much manpower is needed? The officer has prepared in advance. Shen Wen said.

Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "There is no need for adults to arrange manpower, the shipwrights on our ship are sufficient." ”

Shen Wen frowned and said, "I don't think there are many people on your boat, can you carry such a big sea whale bone?" If something goes wrong, we can't afford it. ”

"Ah, Lord Shen." Li Shuang leaned over and said, "Don't forget, Brother Chen is an excellent carpenter, and the lever pulley linkage device he made is labor-saving and stable, much more reliable than manpower, and there will be no problem." ”

Shen Wen thought about it and felt that the person who could build the Great Treasure Ship of the Sea Whale Head must not be wrong.

Chen Zheng added: "Your Excellency only needs to tell Zai Xia when to move the whalebone off the ship, and where to transport it after moving off the ship, and the rest will be handed over to Zaixia." ”

Shen Wen nodded and said, "That's it, very good!" ”
