Li Shuang ordered the boatmen to lift out a wooden plank and put it on top of the two boats.

Chen Zheng cautiously jumped up and walked to the boat opposite, Li Shuang and Xiao Zan were on the other side, both stretched out their hands and took Chen Zheng over.

Jumping off the plank, Chen Zheng waved his hand at Xusheng and shouted, "Xusheng, you go back first, I'll play with Brother Li and Brother Xiao." ”

"Then I'll go back first, Brother Chen." Xu Sheng answered, then turned the rudder and adjusted the sails, and the ship returned from the original route and sailed towards the harbor of Jiuqu Bay.

The three of them walked towards the center of the boat, and Li Shuang asked, "Why did Brother Chen come to the sea too?" Still chasing us in a clipper? ”

Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "I said just now, it's not chasing you, it's just passing by." And, do I still need to inform someone when I arrive? It seems that Brother Li didn't tell me when he came to sea, right? ”

Li Shuang scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "At that time, I saw that you were very busy arranging work, so I was embarrassed to disturb you." ”

Xiao Zan also hurriedly said: "Yes, it was mainly because I was in a hurry, and Brother Li forgot to inform Brother Chen that it was the fault of my son." ”

What else can Chen Zheng say, everyone says that the prince is his fault, does he really dare to scold the prince, it is impossible to think about it.

"Brother Xiao is serious, I don't mean that here." Chen Zheng said helplessly.

Xiao Zan laughed and said, "By the way, Brother Chen, how is the work arrangement of the dockyard?" ”

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "The arrangements have been put in place, and the craftsmen who stayed behind have also expressed their willingness to learn shipbuilding like the shipwrights in the dock, and I believe that the first ship will be built soon." ”

Xiao Zan was overjoyed and said: "Brother Chen has made a great effort, if he can succeed this time, Brother Chen should take the first credit!" ”

Chen Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Why is it not only a great effort, but also a lot of blood?" ”

"Well, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Zan asked.

So, Chen Zheng told Xiao Zan about the reward system for mentors and apprentices.

After Xiao Zan heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless, a mentor will reward five taels of silver, that is dozens of craftsmen, this requires dozens of mentors, oops! A few hundred taels of silver, and that's it.

"Brother Chen should be righteous!" Xiao Zan couldn't help but admire.

Chen Zheng glanced at Li Shuang, who was standing next to him, and said to Xiao Zan with a smile: "Brother Xiao, Brother Li, the three of us are brothers, so it is best to share merit naturally." ”

Li Shuang was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother Xiao is the person in charge of this matter, and he must be a great merit; Brother Chen is the executor, and he is also a great achievement. It's just that I don't seem to have done anything, so I don't deserve any credit. ”

"Huh? We are brothers, and the credit will naturally be shared with you, depending on whether you want it or not. Chen Zheng patted Li Shuang on the shoulder and said.

Li Shuang nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course I want it, how can I refuse such a good thing?" ”

"As long as Brother Li is willing, then it will be the best." Chen Zheng smiled slightly.

This smile made Li Shuang's heart a little furious, but he thought about it, no matter what happened, Brother Chen would not harm himself, so he said: "Tell me quickly, how to share this credit?" ”

"Didn't I just talk about the reward system for mentors and apprentices? Brother Li only needs to give out the silver of this reward, and he will naturally get a share of the credit. Chen Zhengdao.

After Li Shuang heard this, he only felt as if it was a thunderbolt from the sky, this reward was not a few taels of silver, it was a few hundred taels.

Even if he has money, a few hundred taels of silver is still a bit painful for Li Shuang.

Seeing that Li Shuang was a little hesitant, Chen Zheng sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "If Brother Li really thinks that this money is a bit much, I will pay it for you in the future, but this credit is still credited to Brother Li." ”

"This is too much silver, how embarrassing it is for you to pay for me." Li Shuang pretended to be polite and said.

Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "I'm not afraid of itching if there are more lice, I use the manpower of this shipbuilding, and I use the shipwright of the dock; The material resources for this shipbuilding are the wood of the red pine village on Happy Horse Mountain; I can simply come up with the financial resources of this shipbuilding! As the saying goes, one thing does not bother the two masters. ”

"Brother Chen is really interesting." Xiao Zan said with some emotion.

Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Xiao praised it, who made us close like brothers, since we are brothers, how can we care about these things outside our bodies?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Shuang's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Chen is right, we are good brothers, how can these things outside the body be important in brotherhood?" I have decided, the reward for this mentor and apprentice will be up to me! ”

"Brother Li, don't be reluctant, you can still afford it." Chen Zheng hurriedly explained.

But Li Shuang seemed to be iron-hearted, and said righteously: "Brother Chen, don't say it anymore, since the manpower and material resources are all from you, hand over the financial resources to me." ”

Chen Zheng thought for a while and said, "But this financial strength is not only the bonus of this mentor and apprentice, but there are many places behind it, and it costs silver." ”

The corners of Li Shuang's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, why didn't you say it earlier? Just remind me now, am I too embarrassed to refuse?

Li Shuang felt that it was difficult for him to ride a tiger now, because Xiao Zan next to him was looking at him with a look of hope, could he bear to say no?

Of course not!

"Brother Chen, rest assured, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you will get together the money, and you won't delay Brother Xiao's project." Li Shuang gritted his teeth and said.

Xiao Zan was very happy to hear this, and said, "It's really a blessing that my son was able to meet you two brothers!" ”

"What Brother Xiao said, it seems that it is not a blessing that the two of us can meet Brother Xiao." Chen Zheng pretended to be unhappy and said.

The three of them laughed, and Li Shuang didn't seem to feel a little bit of silver, how painful it was.

Chen Zheng looked up at the sky and said, "If it's almost noon today, the sun will be very hot in a while, so let's go back and have a good meal at Juquande Restaurant." ”

Xiao Zan nodded and said, "Everything is going well today, you should have a good meal to celebrate." ”

But just as they were about to return, the escort Yu Qizheng suddenly came over again, stood beside Xiao Zan, and shouted in a low voice: "There is a situation, prepare for battle!" ”

Xiao Zan was stunned for a moment and said, "Yu Guard, you can't be mistaken, right?" ”

Yu Qizheng shook his head, pointed to the distance and said, "Look over there!" ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Yu Qizheng's finger, and sure enough, several ships appeared in the field of vision.

"I can't see clearly, but don't make a mistake like before." Li Shuang said in a low voice.

As an excellent carpenter, Chen Zheng usually has extremely fine workmanship requirements, and his eyes are much better than those of them, he looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but change his face, and said, "It's a bandit!" ”
