Chapter 84: The Ship and the Future (Part I)
However, he said that after arranging Boss Zhang and others that day, Gongsun Du went east, and after a short time, he went out of the east gate and walked towards a camp not far away.
After walking inside, you can see that this is a water village, and it is also a water village for shipbuilding. For the only water village that appeared around the Liao team, or the starting point of Gongsun Du's heart to conquer overseas, it was heavily guarded, not only a team of cavalry patrolling from time to time, but also a group of soldiers on the wall who could only see a lot of people, but did not know whether it was an archer or a sword soldier.
Of course, it was very simple for Gongsun Du to enter the water village, and none of these soldiers did not know him, so he simply said hello and walked in. If it is someone else, even if it is Xu Rong, Wei You and the like, if there is no special reason, that is, Gongsun Du's handwriting, they will not be able to enter.
After entering the water village, Gongsun Du did not immediately walk to the innermost, but stopped and looked around. Speaking of which, Gongsun Du is the third time to come here, the first time is when the water village chooses the address, according to the safety, transportation, manufacturing and other factors of the water village, and finally chooses the north section of the east gate of the Liao team; The second time was when the first batch of timber for shipbuilding and building the water village arrived, and it was already a month away.
It seems that Gongsun Du does not seem to attach so much importance to this water village, or only on the surface.
"Nine Taigong, Lord Taishou doesn't pay attention to us shipwrights at all, otherwise it would ......," Jiang Yi complained.
"Boom!" Jiang Sheng stomped his cane on the ground and shouted, "Shut up!" Called a certain overseer. β
Jiang Sheng saw that Jiang Yi's face was still uncertain, his voice was slightly slower, and he said: "Jiang Yi Shipmaster, don't say such things in the future, you must remember that now we are the shipwrights under Lord Taishou, how can there be subordinates to arrange adults." In addition, Lord Taishou has to manage the entire Liaodong County, so he must be busy with affairs, and being able to take the time to visit once in a while is the best encouragement for us. β
"There is only one Liaolu county in the whole of Liaodong, and there are not as many people as a county in Xuzhou, so how can there be so many things to be busy." Jiang Yi couldn't help muttering after hearing this. Jiang Yi's words are not false, but this is the situation when they arrived in the Liao Army, and now the Liao Army has forty or fifty thousand people, which is almost a big county.
Jiang Shengren is old but not deaf and dizzy, on the contrary, his hearing and eyesight are not bad, otherwise Gongsun Du would not appoint him as the superintendent. You must know that the entire water village is under the jurisdiction of the superintendent, including Jiang Yi, these ship divisions, of course, in the future, when the navy appears, it will only manage the shipbuilding.
Hearing Jiang Yi's underestimation, Jiang Sheng was about to teach him a lesson again, but when he saw Gao Qiang running over sweating profusely, he immediately understood that there was something important looking for him, so he could only glare at Jiang Yi fiercely as a warning, and then looked at Gao Qiang.
Without waiting for Jiang Sheng to ask, Gao Qiang panted and said, "Lord Inspector, Lord Taishou has arrived!" β
"Huh?" Before Jiang Sheng could reply, Jiang Yi exclaimed, "Lord Taishou is here?" Where? Where? β
Syllable!
Jiang Sheng slapped Jiang Yi angrily and scolded: "Hmph! Why is there so much nonsense! If you don't hurry up to greet it, will you want this old bone to run a trip? β
Jiang Yi hurriedly responded and left with a slightly stable breath. Jiang Sheng said that he smiled after Jiang Yi left, and still walked over with his old legs far away, but he thought in his heart: Child, Taishou is a celestial man, and there will be countless heroes and heroes under his command in the future, if you can't leave a good impression in the heart of Taishou now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be reused in the future!
It was this kind of thinking that made Jiang Sheng let Jiang Yi and Gao Qiang go to greet him first, hoping to leave a good impression.
"Nine Taigong!"
Jiang Sheng, who had something on his mind, didn't notice that Jiang Yi and Gao Qiang actually ran back, and sandwiched him between left and right, if Jiang Yi didn't feel that something was wrong and spoke, maybe he wouldn't have realized that someone was approaching him.
"How did you guys get back? Didn't you go and greet Taishou-sama? After Jiang Sheng came back to his senses, he couldn't help but say with some annoyance when he saw the two.
Jiang Yi and Gao Qiang didn't dare to reply when they heard this, they just lowered their heads and stretched out their hands to help Jiang Sheng walk forward. Jiang Sheng had the intention to break away, but when he thought that the two of them were also thinking about themselves, he couldn't help but show a relieved smile on his face. Jiang Yi and Gao Qiang's eyes were secretly relieved when they saw this scene. It's just that they didn't know that at this time, Jiang Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, hoping that Gongsun Du would be able to remember the old love in the future, so that the villagers who originally belonged to Linshui Village could live well.
Those who get ahead and are reused or something, but they have completely given up.
The three of them walked not far before they saw Gongsun Du walking over, Jiang Sheng immediately broke free of Jiang Yi and Gao Qiang, holding their hands, and hurriedly greeted them: "My subordinates are late to greet you, and please forgive me for my sins!" β
Saying that, he was going to bow down and let an old man bow to himself, Gongsun Du would not agree before, and naturally he would not now, take a few steps quickly, and hold Jiang Sheng before he knelt down, and at the same time said softly: "Jiang Du is polite!" β
"I haven't been here for a month, and the water village has changed!" Gongsun Du knew that if he hadn't come for a long time, some people might be uneasy, so he comforted, "Jiang Duzao should be the first to take the lead!" β
Then he turned to look at Jiang Yi and Gao Qiang, and said: "Jiang Chuanshi and Gao Chuanshi are also meritorious, but at present, Liaodong is in trouble, and the water village is temporarily difficult to expand, so I have to wronged you." β
"Your Excellency!" Jiang Sheng said in fear, "We are despicable people in the countryside, and we are fortunate to be able to save our lives." And the good fortune of the sky is favored by adults, to settle down here, to be able to use the skills of micro end to adults have the size of the merit, this we also want. It's overjoyed to get the praise of adults, but it's a great achievement, and I'm afraid! β
Gongsun Du was silent when he heard this, and looked up to the south.
Jiang Yi and Gao Qiang didn't know why, and they were quite surprised. Jiu Taigong is reluctant to take credit, they can understand, because Jiu Taigong is reasonable, Jiang Yi's complaint before was just a complaint to his friend, not anything else; And Gongsun Du was silent, and he understood why.
Jiang Sheng is worthy of being a rare person with a long lifespan, and the experience accumulated over a long period of time makes him faintly guess.
"My lordβ"
Jiang Sheng also kept thinking in his mind, for a long time, he made a decision, and was about to speak, but he didn't want Gongsun Du to stop him: "Jiang Duzao, do you know what is overseas?" β
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the youth of Jiang Yi and Gao Qiang, even Jiang Sheng couldn't understand what the meaning was. However, Jiang Sheng still replied tentatively: "Isn't overseas still the sea?" β
"Have you ever been to sea?" Gongsun Du asked again.
"This ......" Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jiang Yi and Gao Qiang before replying, "When I was young, I went to sea, but I didn't gain anything. β
Gongsun Du said again: "Do you know Yizhou? β
"Yizhou?" Jiang Sheng said with some uncertainty, "Your Excellency, are you talking about the overseas of Huiji County to the south?" β
"That's right!" Gongsun Du nodded and said, "Since there can be one Yizhou, why can't there be other lands overseas?" Because others don't find out, don't they? β
"Joke! As far as a person knows, from Lelang County to the south to the sea, and not far to the south, there is land closer than Zhiyi Prefecture and Huiji County. β
"If there is land at such a close distance, is there no greater land farther away? According to a certain point of view, there is a probability of more than eighty percent! β
Probably?
Jiang Sheng pondered in his heart whether the eighty percent possibility was true or false.
However, he didn't know that Gongsun Du's eighty percent was just a pretext, but he clearly knew that there were continents overseas, and no, one of them was still a continent that Gongsun Du wanted to go to very much, because there were extremely productive species there, which could feed countless people. If......
Gongsun Du felt excited when he thought about it, in addition to being able to feed countless people, he also missed the familiar taste a little.
"Baked sweet potatoes!"
β¦β¦
"Roasted potatoes, shredded potatoes ......"
β¦β¦
These voices that couldn't be more familiar seemed to ring in my ears......
