The sky is boundless, and the sea is endless.

The end of the world is caused by the cognitive limitations of the ancients, in fact, where is the cliff? Where are the horns in the sea?

The endless sea is always intimidating, especially in the cold winter, when the clouds as thick as lead are pressing, the cold wind is howling, and the turbid waves on the sea surface are empty, which is terrifying to look at.

Zheng Zhihu, who is accustomed to walking on the sea, is not afraid, and he is about to leave for Min today.

Zheng Zhihu has been coming to Shenjiabao for a while, and Yang Bo does not hide his personal interests, taking him to the front end of the quarry and match factory in Meizhen, as well as the back process of the match factory in Shimiao, Zheng Zhihu has seen it all, looking at this output, as well as the price of matches on the market now, roughly calculated, Shimiao's monthly revenue is as much as 100,000 taels of silver, this silver is really like flowing water, flowing loudly.

In addition, Zheng Zhihu was not idle, and went to the Ghost when he had time to tell Lei Zhizi and others about the Zheng family's method of fighting wits and courage with the red hair, and Lei Zhizi also benefited a lot.

The first batch of matches from the stone temple was given to Chongzhen, and the second batch was given to Zheng Zhihu, after all, the Zheng family was far away in Mindi, and it was not easy to come to a trip, this time it was just in time, so I brought some back, but the output was limited, and Zheng Zhihu could not delay for too long, this time, Zheng Zhihu could only bring back 50,000 boxes of matches, and the Zheng family wanted to try to sell them overseas.

Lei Jizi, Yang Bo and Xu Wenjue came early in the morning to see each other, everyone said goodbye, they were all reluctant, and when it was time to have to drive the boat, Yang Bo and others were about to get off the boat, but Wu Yuer came over with a smile, and seemed to have something to say, and several people stopped.

Wu Yu'er walked up to Yang Bo, but knelt down, Yang Bo was shocked, and hurriedly helped him, shouting, "Yu'er, what are you doing here?" ”

"In this life, Yu'er is grateful for the forgiveness of the son to the Wu family, and asks the son to be worshiped by the slave family." In the end, Wu Yuer couldn't cry, her beautiful face was overwhelmingly sad, even Yang Bo and others, and several old men, couldn't help but be moved.

Yang Bo looked at Zheng Zhihu with a pleading look and said, "Second brother, this.. But how is it good? ”

"Yu'er can't go back to her home, and the stone temple will be Yu'er's maiden home in the future, she wants to worship, so let her worship."

As soon as Zheng Zhihu's words came out, he said that when it came to Mindi, Wu Yu'er was definitely going to marry Zheng Zhihu, Yang Bo helped him again, and said urgently: "Yu'er, hurry up, how can there be a reason for a sister-in-law to kneel down for her younger brother." ”

Yu'er got up at this time, and she was sad and sad, and everyone was emotional.

Yang Bo said: "Since I am Yu'er's mother's family, and Yu'er is married to Mindi, I may not be able to catch up at that time, so it is better to make those matches as Yu'er's dowry, and the second brother does not need to pay any more silver." ”

"No, no more, it can't be done."

The dowry of 50,000 boxes of matches is too rich, according to the current market price, it costs almost 30,000 taels of silver, but being good with the Zheng family is to open up the grain route in the south, which is a long-term solution, and Yang Bo also knows that with the large number of matches on the market, the price will definitely fall, which is really nothing.

"Yu'er has a rough life, when she arrives in Mindi, she is not familiar with the place, and she can't do it without a dowry, this is for Yu'er, and the second brother Hugh has to say more." Yang Bo waved his hand and said categorically.

"Childe.." Wu Yuer just lowered her head and cried, unable to speak for a while.

"Yu'er must not be too sad, maybe in a few years, you can come back to see, we are here looking forward to your return." Yang Bo could only say a word of consolation.

The three people under the boat waved goodbye to the people on the boat, until the Zheng family's sea boat disappeared from sight, Yang Bo and the other three people boarded Lei Jizi's clipper, He Qifeng with a team of personal soldiers, has been waiting for a long time, they also have to take advantage of the morning tide to rush to the July No., where the final modification is underway, after the modification is completed, the July No. is dead, it is the Ghost.

Xu Wenjue was still fat, he had just gotten on the boat, and he was still panting, but his mouth was slurking, "Third brother, the dowry just now is a big deal." ”

"Little Four, why do I have a sour smell when I hear you say this?"

"Third brother, you are partial, as soon as you make a move on the eldest brother, it will be 50,000 boxes of matches, but what about me, but I have to pay money to build a Pei Yao Women's School, people are more than people, and I am angry with people."

Yang Bo raised his hand and jumped with a brain, he learned this trick from Shen Yanqing.

"Aren't you going to pay for money to build a girls' school? Are you willing to build, but Pei Yao still doesn't want it, do you want me to tell Pei Yao, don't build it, okay? The second brother can bring food to Shenjiabao, and there may be countless people alive in the future, which is more important, don't you count it in your heart? ”

Xu Wenjue grinned, but he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Third brother, do you still have any ways to make money?" My dad was too tightly controlled and missed a lot of opportunities, but now, my dad has sent a letter, as long as it's a stone temple project, the silver is enough, and I don't want your matches, you just need to tell me where to put the silver, hehe. ”

The clipper has traveled to the Black Rock Cliff, the Black Rock Cliff is full of cliffs along the coast, the walls are thousands of miles, it looks like a whole black boulder, the mottled traces on it are the eternal memories of thousands of years, from the perspective of the sea ship, it is like a picture scroll with thick ink and color, it looks ancient and vicissitudes.

The Black Rock Cliff is a prominent corner of Shenjiabao in the northeast direction, in the shape of an eagle's beak, the outlet of the deserted Fu River is just below the eagle's beak, and then the eagle's neck, here bends an arc, forming a small bay, which is an excellent anchorage for sea boats.

At this time, the clouds in the sky are very low, and the sea surface is also dark and secluded, and the waves are slapping on the boulders, splashing the white waves, making a rumbling roar, which is very terrifying.

Yang Bo guessed that it may be for this reason that the sediment did not have a chance to go down the river and accumulate on the bottom of the sea, and the sea water was able to maintain its current depth, while the water depth on the coast elsewhere in Shenjiabao was very shallow, and a ship with a deep draft like the July could not dock.

This is a deep-water harbor given by God.

Yang Bo stood in the command cabin, pointed to the bay in front of him, and said: "I am going to transform this place into a deep-water port, you can invest money now, and in five years, the income will be several times greater." ”

"Five years?" Xu Wenjue shook his head, shook it like a rattle, and said, "Five years is too long, is there anyone who will come to the silver next year?" ”

Yang Bo glanced at Xu Wenjue, full of disdain, and said, "Little Si, you are still too young." ”

Xu Wenjue was speechless for a moment, paused, and then said: "I said third brother, your tone is so strange, we are basically the same age, why do you speak in such an old-fashioned tone?" ”

Yang Bo ignored it and asked, "Want to make quick money?" ”

"Yes."

"There is a county near Nanjing called Dangtu County, there is a Ma'anshan in Dangtu County, there is a good iron ore in Ma'anshan, you go to dig it, and then transport it, how much, how much I want."

"Really?"

"Of course, I plan to set up several more iron-making furnaces in Xishan, which requires a large amount of iron ore, and it is very convenient for you to dig iron ore and go down the river, and you can make money next year."

"Third brother, I knew that you have good things here, I.." Xu Wenjue was overjoyed, suddenly remembered something, and sighed again: "Third brother, the cement bridge behind your stone temple is too slow to repair, I have hired a painter, I want to stand on it, and the painter will paint a portrait for me, otherwise, I will rush back to Nanjing today and find someone to mine." ”

Xu Wenjue loves to show off, and wants to paint a portrait on the cement bridge and take it to Nanjing to show off, which is equivalent to an advertisement for Yang Bo, and Yang Bo naturally supports it with all his might.

"These are all industrial things, it takes time, everything has a law, how can you do it willfully."

Xu Wenjue suddenly asked: "Third brother, this should be coated with iron ore, you don't want to buy shares?" ”

"This iron mine, to be based on you, even if I become a shareholder, at most it will be one percent, lest someone say that I have to eat everything and wipe it clean, I also advise you, don't be too greedy, pull more people, everyone earns money together, and everyone earns is really earned."

Xu Wenjue smiled, and even said that the third brother was angry, and was about to say something, when Lei Qizi walked over with He Qifeng.

Yang Bo beckoned: "The wind is up, I'm looking for you, I'm going to transfer you to the sea boat, and you and your eldest brother will learn to drive a boat together." ”

He Qifeng was not very interested, it seemed that Lei Qizi had already told him, "Brother, was it last time in Hushan, did my performance dissatisfy you?" ”

Yang Bo was annoyed and said, "What are you talking nonsense? Yes, in the army, you will never be able to catch up with the eccentric Fang Shaochun, but the sea is different, the ship travels on the sea, not only to sink the enemy ship, but also to save the lives of a boatload of people, a conservative temperament, more suitable to be a navy, you take that Wang Changsheng with you, first learn from the eldest brother on the ghost for a year and a half, in the future, Yanqing, I will hand it over to you to command, it is the best warship in the world, you can't sail, how can I hand it over to you? ”

"But... I can't swim. He Qifeng said bitterly.

"Can't swim?" Lei Qizi looked at the water level at the outlet of the Fuhe River, and the tide would have to wait for a while, and suddenly smiled evilly, and said, "Third brother, you can hand over He Qifeng to me." ”

Lei Qizi and Yang Bo glanced at each other, both of them were slightly bowed, Lei Qizi beckoned, and a few sailors came up, they immediately took off their shirts and pants outside, revealing their naked bodies, all of them were rough men with rough skin and thick flesh, patting their naked chests, smiling and approaching He Qifeng, someone deceived him, one person and one arm, pulled He Qifeng up, and pulled it to the side of the boat.

He Qifeng panicked, like killing a pig, and shouted indiscriminately: "Brother, save me..."

It's winter now, and it's very cold this year, Yang Bo is actually scared in his heart, but seeing He Qifeng scared like this, he gritted his teeth and began to take off his clothes, while shouting at He Qifeng: "The wind, don't shoot, my brother will accompany you into the water, we are all life and death brothers you can rely on in wartime, what are you afraid of?" ”

Yang Bo stretched his legs, bent over, moved a few times, and planted a heel from the bow of the boat, waiting for He Qifeng below.

"Your uncle, Lei..." He Qifeng screamed desperately, and he began to curse, but no one paid attention to him, and before he finished shouting, he had been pushed into the water.

Yang Bo watched in the water, and his heart was also hairy, this is to catch ducks on the shelves, people in these years are ruthless enough, they don't know how to water, and they have to get on the boat, and throw them directly into the sea, which is already the practice of Lei Zhizi on the boat, fortunately, there are people to accompany him, and over the years, there has been no accident.

He Qifeng had never swam in the water, he was thrown into the sea, and he suddenly fluttered indiscriminately, tired of running for his life, and he didn't know how much seawater he had drunk.

He Qifeng is good, Yang Bo estimates that it will only take five minutes, and the dog planer can flutter a few times, which can basically guarantee that it will not sink.

On the boat, under the boat, everyone laughed for a while, He Qifeng was considered to have passed the test, so forcing people to learn to swim, simple, rough, and effective.
