Chapter 70: Peach Blossom Island
Although Yang Bo was not interested in firearms, he was very interested in clocks and watches, and offered to buy a few from Huang Renjie.
"Mr. Huang, this is the case, you will take the table clock to Shenjiabao." Yang Bo added: "It would be better if you could help me find some watchmakers." ”
Huang Renjie nodded busily and said yes again and again.
He originally brought Westerners to buy in Nanyang, and saw that the clock was an opportunity, and he came to Ningbo a year ago to sell the table clock in Daming.
However, the Ming people, even if they are rich and noble, would rather use an hourglass than a grandfather clock, one bell sounds unlucky, and the other is that the current grandfather clock is very poor in accuracy, and it is also expensive, and it needs to be waited for, the trouble is tight, no one wants the clock, can Huang Renjie's business be good?
There was no way, Huang Renjie had no choice but to do his old job, partnered with the Pu family in Zhoushan, and started to buy for Westerners.
Yang Bo is not just a personal name, there is a lot of talk on the streets in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Yang Bo is the most talked about recently. Huang Renjie often deals with the Dutch and knows a little Dutch, and when he came on this trip, Huang Renjie recommended himself, Yang Bo is a character, and for him, this is also an opportunity.
Yang Bo is indeed a big celebrity, and it is rumored in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that Yang Bo is not a human being, but a god, but Yang Bo himself doesn't know it.
On the day of the opening of Yang Bo's Huaixiang Building, it snowed heavily, and Pu Songling had not yet been born at this time, but this matter had been rumored to be a story.
Hot pot is also very popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this year's weather is extremely cold, eat hot pot hot, three or two relatives and friends on a whim, set up hot pot, drink a few cups, convenient, affordable, casual. Not only do restaurants have hot pot to choose from, but some rich and noble families also have hot pot at home, and eating hot pot is like a literati cooking wine in a tandoor, which has become an elegant thing.
There are also matches, that thing is so amazing, rich and noble people are proud to be able to use a match, whether they can use a match, and it has also become a symbol of status.
Although Yang Bo is free of charge, it can also be bought on the market, and it is too popular to buy it at the root and sell it for one or two pieces of silver.
Yang Bo's reputation is in full swing, and he has become a demon beast, even if Nezha really appears, I am afraid that he can only play Hot Wheels, and the three flavors of true fire can only be spit out by Yang Bo.
Huang Renjie also saw matches in the Pu family, and immediately cited them as a sacred object, he asked the Pu family for it, but the Pu family did not have much, so he bought a few pieces of silver in the market and brought the Dutchman's July number.
Yang Bo's proposal made Huang Renjie overjoyed, it was really worth the trip.
The conversation between the two of them is getting better, and it is no longer as awkward as it was at the beginning.
Yang Bo learned that the Dutchman's ship was called the July, and it was a battleship, equipped with twenty-seven cannons, each of which was equipped with five sub-guns, which was a new type of cannon, which could be described as the best artillery in the world at this time.
When the war started, the Zigun was put into it and fired directly, which could save time and increase the rate of fire, which was the prototype of the artillery shells of later generations, but they did not have Yang Bo's thunder * mercury as ignition powder, and they could not make shells in the real sense.
Yang Bo also wanted to find out the personnel on the July, but Huang Renjie said that he was also on the ship temporarily, and he didn't know how many people were on the July.
Huang Renjie wanted to do business with Yang Bo until he was handed off the boat by a rope, his body was suspended in mid-air, and he still shouted to help Yang Bo find a craftsman who cast bubbles, and Yang Bo judged that Huang Renjie was telling the truth.
Sending Huang Renjie away, Yang Bo's face sank, compared to the Dutchman's cannon run, Lei Zhenzi's tiger squat cannon is not enough to see at all.
The equipment of the two sides is not at the same level, and it is too late to buy or build it now.
People are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, this feeling made Yang Bo very unhappy, but Shen Yanqing was very unimpressed.
The two of them came to the lookout on the stern again, and in the telescope view, Huang Renjie abandoned the small ferry and climbed onto the July, and soon, the July deviated from the course and disappeared from the telescope's field of vision.
The Dutch just left? Yang Bo also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"What did I say?" Shen Yanqing's small mouth was curled, and there was a slight color between her eyebrows, and she said angrily: "The Dutch ships have often patrolled the waters between Daming and Japan over the years, and I have seen a lot, you are worrying about nothing." ”
Having said that, Shen Yanqing didn't mean to leave immediately, it was very quiet here, it happened to be the world of the two of them, Shen Yanqing liked to be with Yang Bo more and more, this feeling was so good, the two of them shared a telescope, and they watched without a match, and finally Shen Yanqing simply snuggled up to Yang Bo's side.
Xiaobo was very angry, like an angry frog, but Yang Bo was shouting in his heart that the moment of happiness was coming.
In the end, it was Shen Yanqing who said: "Let's go down, there are still a lot of things in the command cabin." ”
Yang Bo smiled secretly in his heart, you still know that there is something wrong with the command cabin.
The two walked down from the lookout, and Yang Bo saw someone at the corner of the steps, probing his brain, and Shen Yanqing also saw it.
"Mu Ying, what are you doing? Sneaky? Shen Yanqing said curiously.
"I.." Mu Ying was arrested, her expression was a little embarrassed, her face turned red, and she smiled dryly: "I have a question, I didn't understand it during class, ask Yang Bo." ”
When Shen Yanqing heard this, she was amazed in her heart, she didn't expect Mu Ying to be so serious in learning arithmetic, she glanced at Yang Bo, and said: "Look at Mu Ying, you are attentive to everything, that is like you, you are half-hearted when you practice swordsmanship." ”
Shen Yanqing waved her hand and went to the command cabin, where there was indeed a backlog of things.
"Sister Mu, do you really have a question to ask?" Yang Boqi said.
"Yes, of course." Mu Ying saw Shen Yanqing leaving, and her expression suddenly relaxed.
Yang Bo looked at Mu Ying, waiting for her to ask, Mu Ying bit his lip, racked his brains to think about the question, suddenly his eyes lit up, and asked: "You said in class that the ground is a ball, if you make a hole from here and pass through the center of the earth, you can reach the other end, yes or no?" ”
"Hmm." Yang Bo nodded and said, "Logically, it can be said so. ”
"In that case, if I climb into that hole, and climb and crawl, and climb to the other end, will my head be up or down?" Mu Ying said this, but her body made a very vivid appearance of crawling, and the two rabbits fluttered there, fluttering, fluttering...
“......”
Yang Bo flashed in his mind that Mu Ying was climbing the hole, and the two rabbits had also changed their appearances, but Mu Ying's question was too profound, Yang Bo couldn't answer, and Teacher Yang was too embarrassed.
...................
On this day, the weather is fine, with blue sky and white clouds, and the sea and sky in the distance.
In the telescope, Yang Bo saw the shadow of the land, like a string of dead leaves, fluttering, shaking in the field of vision, which made Yang Bo hallucinate, the universe was reversed, and the leaves were floating in the sky, and these leaves were the Zhoushan Islands.
The No. 1 and No. 2 ships of the Shen family's fleet were both transport ships that could reach Ningbo Port directly, and Lei Zhenzi's escort ships were equipped with firearms, but they were inconvenient to enter.
When Shen Yanqing arrived at Ningbo Port, she had a shopkeeper who collected grain locally to come to meet her, and she was safe.
According to the prior arrangement, before entering the port, Yang Bo had to take a small ferry to go to a round with Lei Jizi, the plum scorpion was locked up on the sentry boat, and He Qifeng took care of it with his own team, without the plum scorpion, Peach Blossom Island and Hengdao could not receive it.
The plum scorpion woke up, was sent to the Shen Mansion, and met with Shen Jizhi, he and Shen Jizhi killed each other in their early years, fought battles, and cooperated, and now the plum scorpion fell into the hands of Shen Jizhi, and the grievances for many years should also be settled.
Shen Jizhi proposed to exchange Yicheng's match factory elements for Mei Scorpion's Peach Blossom Island and Hengdao, so that although Mei Scorpion was physically disabled, he had pension money, Shen Jizhi did not kill Mei Scorpion, and once again achieved his reputation of righteousness Bo Yuntian, and both sides benefited, and both parties were very satisfied.
Everyone took a boat to Peach Blossom Island first, and the thieves on the island received a handwritten letter from Haifei, and the sea Feimei scorpion was among the Haikou, quite prestigious, since the boss agreed, a group of Haikou did not have any trouble, and the acceptance process was quite smooth.
"This is Peach Blossom Island." Yang Bo went to the island, looking very excited, he didn't expect that he had never been to Peach Blossom Island in his previous life, but he had a chance in this life, it was really fate.
In addition to being excited, Yang Bo blurted out a poem, "The peach blossom shadow falls and flies the sword, and the blue sea tide is born according to the jade flute." ”
Although Lei Zhizi doesn't know a basket of big characters, there are peach blossoms in the poem, Lei Zhenzi can still hear it, pouted, and said: "Xiaobo, there are no peach blossoms on this peach blossom island, what are you excited about?" ”
"Ah, really?" When Yang Bo heard this, he was taken aback, and said in his heart, Jin Daxia, Jin Daxia, there are no peach blossoms on Peach Blossom Island, what kind of peach blossom poems are you writing indiscriminately, causing me to almost wear a goof?
"Of course." Lei Zhenzi said: "Haifei is Shen Jiabao's old enemy, he came to Peach Blossom Island, do you think I will not find out his details?" ”
Lei Zhenzi grinned, "There is a mountain on the island, do you see it, it's that, Anji Mountain, is the highest peak of the Zhoushan archipelago, the mountain is rich in peach blossom stones, so it is called Peach Blossom Island, you scholars are very boring, you can make a peach blossom poem without peach blossoms." ”
Yang Bo, a courier brother, became a scholar in the eyes of Lei Jizi, his old face was red, he touched his nose, and said: "This poem.. I don't know where I heard it, probably something else, hehehe. ”
"Since my brother likes peach blossoms, let's look around, find a suitable land, and plant some peach trees in the spring, what's so difficult?" He Qifeng interjected.
Lei Zhenzi has no opinion, anyway, the two islands have to be inspected, and it is inevitable to send people to garrison here in the future, and the group will discuss, since there is no peach blossom, go to find the peach blossom stone, and see what is so strange about the stone.
This is a low place, go inside, you will enter the mountain, walk along the valley for a while, you can climb up the slope of Mt. Anji.
Although this Anqi Mountain is the highest peak of the Zhoushan archipelago, it is not high, but it is better to stand on the lonely peak, the strange rocks are craggy, and there are empty mountains and valleys, He Qifeng's idea is good, Yang Bo intends to plant peach blossoms on the hillside, in the spring, this valley must be lush everywhere, birds and flowers, will not become a paradise here? Achieve a real Peach Blossom Island? In this way, Jin Daxia in later generations should also thank me Yang Bo, Yang Bo thought with a smile.
Yang Bo and his group were walking slowly in a valley when they suddenly saw a simple house built on an open flat land near the hillside in front of them. When he got closer, Yang Bo saw that there was already a team of soldiers searching for Lei Zhenzi.
When the leader saw the boss Lei Jizi and Yang Bo coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Boss, go to the house and take a look, seriously..."
The leader's brow furrowed, and for a moment he couldn't find the right words to describe what was found in the house, what was the unusual thing?
