Chapter Seventy-Nine: Iwami Silver Mine

Everyone on the dock cheered in unison, the scene was extremely lively, and Wenyi and others were greeted like heroes. Standing at the front of the crowd was Xiao Jing, who came specifically for the new ship, and said with a smile on his face: "Gongzi Wen is gratifying, can the trial of the new ship go smoothly?" ”

Wen Yi replied: "Thanks to the blessing of the prince, I sailed for a total of five days, everything went well, and I also caught a whale by the way." Don't leave today, let's have a whale feast together! After speaking, he instructed Wang Tianhu and others to drag the whale to the shore, and informed everyone to hold a whale banquet on the dock at night. When everyone heard the news, they were grateful and complimented, and no owner in this period could be as bold as literature and art. Usually, not only can he work for five days and rest for one day, but he also has extra meals from time to time, and he does not deduct his salary, he is just like two fools, as long as the assigned tasks are completed, he can drink and fart with you. That's how life should be! There is such an owner, what kind of land will he go back to plant! It's only serious to take your wife and children over quickly!

The docks were bustling with workers who came to watch the whales. Wenyi came to his exclusive office with Xiao Jing, a tea table, a few rattan chairs, and a teapot with hot water, simple but not simple. The two sat down, Wenyi took out the freshly brewed Longjing tea from under the tea table, and elegantly served Xiao Jing a cup. Xiao Jing tasted the pale green and fragrant Longjing and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!" Unexpectedly, Wen Gongzi also had research in the tea ceremony. This tea is not as complex and thick as the usual drinking, but it is the light taste that makes people more fascinating. ”

Wenyi smiled: "The prince didn't say that I was deviant and unusual, the kid was grateful, proficient in the tea ceremony and didn't dare to be, but I couldn't get used to drinking those teas, this time I came to Jiangnan to pay special attention to the tea trees, and I made these teas this year, ready to drink them myself." Since the prince likes it, he will give the prince a box. ”

After chatting with some unnutritious polite words, the two finally got to the point. Xiao Jing first provoked the conversation and said, "Young Master Wen, what is the specific situation of the new ship?" I wonder if I can hurry up and build a few more? Truth be told, since the last time I saw the Shu'er, I couldn't wait to change all the boats in my family to this model. ”

Wenyi thought for a while and said: "The trial distance is too short, mainly to preliminarily test the quality of the hull. But more details are not visible. In a few days I am going to take a boat to Fuso, which is 1,400 miles away from us, and this distance is enough to test the indicators of the new ship. So please don't be anxious, I will let them prepare materials and equipment first, and next time I start construction, I will prepare five ships to start construction at the same time, and I need more workers and materials at that time, and please make it convenient for the prince. ”

Xiao Jing was overjoyed, and even said: "Okay! Good! Good! Labor and materials are wrapped up in me, and you can have as many materials as you want in three months, and you can have as many people as you want! It's just that this expense is not small, is there any difficulty for Mr. Wen? ”

The literary chest was patted loudly: "Don't worry, I have never had any money, but King Qin has it!" After so many battles, so many cities, and so many bandits, how could there be no money! ”

Xiao Jing picked up the teacup with satisfaction and said, "I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”

After raising his glass and drinking, Wenyi suddenly remembered something, turned around and took out a stack of materials from his bag and handed it to Xiao Jing and said, "Lord Wang, I have a reluctant request, please ask Lord Wang to agree." ”

Xiao Jing put the information on the table, didn't look at it, and said: "Gongzi Wen is polite, I will definitely help you where I can." ”

Literature and art: "This is a trivial matter, that is, I especially like to drink this kind of tea, but my manpower is all used in the shipyard, and no one will do this for a while, so I want to cooperate with our Qin Wangfu and the Xiao family to jointly pick, make and sell tea." ”

The first time Xiao Jing drank this tea, he didn't feel very good, but he wanted to borrow his people to satisfy his appetite, and he signed his name after a rough contract. Wenyi didn't expect this extremely unequal contract to be signed so smoothly, but it was clearly written: The Xiao family is only responsible for tea picking, tea making, and tea sales on the banks of Jiangnan Road. Sales outside Gangnam Province and overseas are handled by the Qin Palace. The retail price of tea is set by the Qin Palace, and the purchase price is negotiated by both parties. The contract is valid for one hundred years.

A few years later, when Xiao's tea became famous all over the world, Xiao Jing hugged the quilt alone and cried bitterly, scolding literature and art for being shameless!

This is a later story, now that literature and art have flown happily, he picked up the teapot and poured it for Xiao Jing, and held the teapot himself: "The kid respects the prince with a cup, you are free, I will do it!" Raised the teapot and drank it all, making Xiao Jing confused.

The festive times always pass quickly, and the whale feast in the evening is lively. Xiao Jing, who has always been high, was also infected by the harmonious atmosphere in the shipyard, sitting on the ground with an open mind and drinking and bragging with unknown rough men, and the guards around him were dumbfounded. The big guy ate until late at night, and the whale barely ate a quarter. The rest of the literature and art were distributed to everyone according to the head, and they were given a short vacation for them to go back and have a good reunion with their families. It was also announced that the construction of staff dormitories would begin, and those with families could take their families to live in the shipyard. Everyone raised their glasses again!

Early the next morning, Wenyi got up and called Wang Tianhu and instructed: "You go back to my uncle and transfer the 300 special combat team over, we will go to sea to do a big deal in tickets." You won't use it after you go back, just let Wang Erhu lead the team. You stay in Chang'an and start recruiting the second batch of special combat troops, expanding the special combat team to 1,000 people. ”

Wang Tianhu was ordered to leave. Half a month later, 300 special combat personnel with loaded guns and ammunition quietly arrived, and boxes of ammunition were moved into the cabin at night. The vehicle did not come over, after all, it was only a Galen galleon, not yet to the point where it could load armored vehicles.

**Shu'er's grandmother has also come, so Shu'er can only stay in the shipyard to receive royal etiquette training. Literature and Art were overjoyed, and the first thing he did when he got on the ship was to tear off the big flag with a small brain axe and raise the classic pirate flag with a skeleton and two broken knives. He also made an eyepatch to cover his left eye, carried a Western sword on his right waist, and pinned a decorative firearm on his left waist. Standing on the lookout, he pointed his sword at Dongying and shouted, "Pacific Pirates! Sail! Set sail! ”

The sails of the "Shu'er" were raised high, and the wind was speeding forward on the sea. The sailors who have cooperated a little bit have their own duties, and the arts only need to concentrate on their own cosplay.

The distance of 700 kilometers is not too far for the Shu'er, which has a speed of about 4 knots (7.2 km/h). Coupled with the advanced navigation technology of literature and art, the coastline of Dongying was already faintly visible on the morning of the tenth day. Wenyi did not land directly, but traveled far around the island to the north, and his goal is self-evident, that is, the legendary No. 1 silver mine in the Middle East - Iwami Silver Mine!
