The next day, Lin Guoxian was really invited to live in the back mountain of Niujiapu, he did not have the slightest intention of resisting, the east 'gate' Qing was accompanied by Niu Shiyun to visit around, of course, what he could see was only the ordinary procedures of the entire shipbuilding process, some key places Niujiapu people are impossible for an outsider to see, and the east 'gate' Qing's understanding of the ship at this time, even if he went to see it, he couldn't understand.

However, there is a person in the team of Dongmenqing who understands ships very well, and that is Yang Zhizhong. He had been here before, but that was nearly ten years ago. This time, he deliberately kept his beard in a mess for fear of being recognized, and wore shabby clothes, this time when he came to Niujiapu again, it was completely different from the image of the big merchant last time, when he entered the ancestral hall yesterday, he curled up in the crowd and bowed his head without saying a word, and even Niu Gonghui couldn't recognize him, as for Niu Shiyun, a young man in his early twenties, it was even more unlikely that he would remember him.

When the East 'Gate' Qing looked at the boat, he took him with him, Niu Shiyun deceived the East 'Gate' Qing at the beginning and didn't understand the boat, and he talked about it when he opened his mouth, Yang Zhizhong was funny when he saw it, and he whispered a few words to the East 'Gate' Qing, and pierced Niu Shiyun's cowhide through the mouth of the East 'Gate' Qing, and Niu Shiyun was shocked in just a few words, thinking: "I thought he was just a son, but I didn't expect him to be an expert!" "I didn't dare to play a 'flower' tone anymore, and sincerely introduced it to the East 'Gate' celebration.

The East 'Gate' Qing only watched for a long time, and then admired the shipbuilding skills of the Niu family, Niu Shiyun couldn't help but be proud when he listened, and said with a smile: "Our family's ship is naturally of the highest quality, otherwise how can there be so many old customers?" Xu Longtou and Wang Wufeng in the north, and the upper and lower villages in South Australia, are all thanks to us building such a good ship to prosper and develop! Dongmen' Qing smiled when he heard this, Niu Shiyun saw him smiling strangely, and asked, "What, am I not right?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that," said Dongmen' Qing, "it's just a reversal of cause and effect." ”

Niu Shiyun was stunned for a moment and said, "What cause and effect did I reverse?" ”

Dong'men Qing said: "I heard the lord of Lin Zhai say that your Niujiapu has been in decline for more than a hundred years, and it has only suddenly prospered in the past twenty or thirty years, but is there such a thing?" ”

Niu Shiyun said: "That's right, the foundation of our Niujiapu is indeed in the hands of my grandfather and my father. ”

Dongmen' Qing asked again: "Then why is there such a ZTE?" ”

Niu Shiyun said: "That's because my grandfather and my father have improved their skills." ”

Dongmen' Qing smiled again when he heard this, and Niu Shiyun said unhappily: "What are you laughing at!" Dong 'Gate' Qing did not answer, but said, "I'll tell you a story." In ancient times, we had a master who made umbrellas in Quanzhou and accepted two apprentices, one from Zhejiang and the other from Jiangxi. The Zhejiang apprentice did not run away from the kung fu achievements, but the Jiangxi apprentice studied hard, and only after three years did he complete the master, and returned home to make his own umbrella and open a shop, but he didn't think that he would encounter a three-year drought after returning home, and he couldn't even sell an umbrella in the first year! He was very distressed, thinking that his skills had not yet arrived, so he returned to his master's shop to continue his study, and after half a year, he learned all the skills of his master's pressing box, so he went home to open a shop, but after half a year, he still couldn't sell an umbrella. He thought that the reason why this was the case must be because his skills had not yet arrived, so he 'spent' half a year to study the skills of making umbrellas, and finally his skills in making umbrellas not only fulfilled the essence of his master, but even surpassed his predecessors, making the umbrella beautiful, and people who saw it said that this umbrella could be used as a tribute. So he set up a stall and opened a store again, but after another half a year, he still didn't sell an umbrella! At this time, he heard a news, saying that his junior brother in Zhejiang sold umbrellas, he heard that his junior brother may have obtained his master's unique 'door' and 'trick', so he went to Zhejiang to find his junior brother, but when he got there, it was 'cloudy' and rainy, and people all over the street were holding the umbrellas made by his junior brother, and he also secretly bought a look, and couldn't help but feel on fire, it turned out that these umbrellas were so good and rough, better than what he did when he was not full of teachers! The umbrella maker couldn't help but tear the umbrella to pieces, and in the rain he scolded all the people who bought the umbrella without eyes. ”

Niu Shiyun didn't know why Dongmenqing suddenly told the story at first, but he listened to it, and couldn't help laughing: "This umbrella maker is really ridiculous!" Umbrellas are used to protect from the rain, and there has been a three-year drought in his hometown, how can anyone buy an umbrella? His brother's business is good because God has perfected it, what does this have to do with the skill of making umbrellas! He didn't even understand that! ”

"That's right, it's still Brother Shiyun!" Dong'men' Qingdao: "To make something to use, is to meet the talent who wants to use it to sell it, if God is not perfect, no matter how good the skill is, what is the use?" ”

Niu Shiyun was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you saying that our Niujiapu can have today's prosperity, and it depends on God's success?" ”

"Isn't it?" Dongmen' Qingdao: "The boat is not like gold and stone calligraphy and painting, it is used for use, not bought and played at home. If it weren't for the fact that most of the people who need to buy boats to go to sea and make money over the years have increased, who would Niujiapu's boats be sold to? That's why I admire your father's vision! ”

Niu Shiyun said: "My father's eyes? ”

"Well," Dong'men Qing said: "Ling Zun has a long-term vision, knowing that the reason why Niujiapu can prosper is not only because of the good shipbuilding skills of the Niu family itself, but also by the great demand for maritime trade routes, the greater the demand, the better the business of Niujiapu, if there is no such demand, Niujiapu will be like the umbrella maker encountering a great drought, no matter how high his own skills are, he will not be able to sell the umbrella." The relationship between Niujiapu and the Zhuzhai on the sea is only a relationship between buyers and sellers on the surface, but in fact it is a matter of life and death, so it is also your responsibility to ensure that the business on the sea is getting bigger and better. Ling Zun knows the truth of raising 'chickens' to take eggs, so he will give tolerance to the owner of the forest village, and he doesn't even want a deposit. If you change to a short-sighted philistine, most of them will be calculating, but they don't know that if the owner of the forest village can't pass this level, they will not only lose a business and lose a friend, but they will block their own way of life! ”

Niu Shiyun was moved when he heard it, and went back to talk to his father and brother in the evening, Niu Gonghui also pondered for these words, and sighed for a long time: "Although this Wang Qing is talking for Xiaowei Lao, his words are not wrong. Our Niujiapu has been safe all these years, and it is really thanks to the affection of Wang Wufeng and Xiaowei Lao - if it weren't for the two of them, I don't know how many big and small pirates would come to fight our idea! There are not many powerful and faithful people like Koo Lao at sea. If Xiaowei Lao really collapses, Wang Wufeng's side will be beyond the reach of the whip, but I am afraid that we will have a lot of trouble. On the second day, he went to see Lin Guoxian, said frankly, and said that he would fully support him through this difficulty, Lin Guoxian was overjoyed, Niu Gonghui invited him to live in the village, Lin Guoxian said: "No need! Lao Niu, you just have this heart! The state has its own laws, and there are rules and regulations. I'd better live here, lest I get off to a bad start, and it will be difficult for you to meet a lazy master in the future. ”

When he said this, he was thinking about Niu Jiapu, so Niu Gonghui was very happy to hear it, and said: "It's really my Niu Gonghui Sansheng to know you as a friend!" He added: "This time I was able to wake up, thanks to your little friend." Elder Xiaowei, there is no third person here, you confide in me the truth: Do you want to train him to take over your class? ”

Lin Guoxian smiled and said: "Wang Qing's 'temperament' and talent are very good, but after all, he is not from the 'Chao' Mansion, I am afraid that there will be some obstacles if he really wants to take over my class, and besides, his own ambition may not be here." ”

Niu Gonghui sighed and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

But since then, the people of the Niu family have loosened their grip on Lin Guoxian, almost letting him come and go as he pleases, but Lin Guoxian kept his promise and did not go down the mountain for half a step, until this day suddenly an eight-oared boat rushed into Niujiapu, Yang Zhizhong saw it, recognized this is a Nanao ship, and said to the east 'gate': "I'm afraid something will happen." ”

Shen Wei said: "What can happen?" ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "I and Lao Zhang have been going to the 'tide' mansion all the year round, and we have always paid attention to things here, and I have heard of Zhang Lian's name in the past two years, and I know that he is not a person to deal with." What Lin Fushan sent by Xiaowei Lao is not a powerful person, although he is a local, but at most he is only worthy of rumors to send letters, if Zhang Lian himself has a heart, it is fine, if Zhang Lian has no heart, how can this Lin Fushan be retrograde? If this matter is really to be done, you have to send someone who is in charge, and even Koo Elder himself has to preside over it. ”

Chen Baifu said: "According to what you say, isn't it a mistake by Lord Lin Zhai this time?" ”

"It's not necessarily a mistake." Yang Zhizhong said: "I think he doesn't have enough people at hand!" Among the four generals in Shangzhai, two old ones stayed in Nanao, and the two young ones, Wu Ping, who had a good relationship with us, may not be suitable for such things, and Shen 'Men' wanted to use it to keep an eye on Xu Chaoguang, and he himself had to order shipbuilding, so he really couldn't 'draw' anyone. ”

Dongmenqing nodded, and Shen Wei said: "But there is still our prince!" Dongmenqing said with a smile: "I am a foreigner, and I am not familiar with the situation here, so I may not be able to do this." ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "If things are 'forced', he will not be able to do without Wang Gongzi." So Wang Gongzi, you'd better be prepared, don't miss it when he says it. ”

As a few people were talking, Lin Guoxian's cronies came to invite the East Gate Qing to go up the mountain, and the East Gate Qing glanced at Yang Zhizhong, and the look seemed to say: "I really told you to be right." ”

Chen Baifu grabbed him and said, "Prince Wang." Because Lin Guoxian's people were beside him, he didn't say anything, but Dongmen' Qing already understood what he meant, and said: "Everyone get ready to prepare, if you really use us, it is incumbent on you!" As he spoke, he came to the back mountain to see Lin Guoxian.

Lin Guoxian was standing in front of the window and lost his mind, and the east 'gate' Qing called the owner of the village, and he turned around and said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Lin Fushan is missing." ”

East 'Gate' Qingqi said: "Missing? I knew in my heart that Zhang Lian's incident really didn't succeed.

"This will Lin Fushan, I'm afraid that it will be more than lucky." Lin Guoxian said: "He entered the village overnight, and he didn't come out after entering. The people sent by Cao Gu'an didn't dare to make a mistake, but hurriedly sent the news back and asked us what to do! ”

The east 'gate' Qing said: "What is the owner of the village going to do?" ”

Lin Guoxian said: "Lin Fushan told me that he and Zhang Lian have an old relationship, and patted his 'chest' to ensure that as long as we are willing to help, Zhang Lian will definitely fall into the grass!" That's why I sent him to talk. Now that the situation has developed like this, there is no turning back, this thing can only succeed, not fail! I'm going to send Shen 'Men' to take over this matter. ”

The east 'gate' Qingdao: "The fleet is ...... there"

"I want to let Wu Ping go to Shen's 'door' first, and then go to beg Niu Gonghui to see if he is willing to let me go back. Fortunately, we have a good relationship with Niujiapu now, so that Niu Gonghui has great hope of agreeing. Lin Guoxian patted Dongmen' Qing's shoulder and said: "Although you didn't tell me about this matter, I also know that you have made a great effort in the middle, and we owe you a favor in Shangzhai." ”

The east 'gate' Qing hurriedly said: "What is the owner of the village talking about!" I have eight worship with Wu Ping 'friendship', you are his respected relatives, naturally that is, my elders, not to mention these days to get along, the owner of the village has also made me greatly impressed, I have long regarded myself as the son and nephew of the owner of the village, as long as it is beneficial to the village, how can there not be done? This is just duty, but the word kindness is too heavy and too raw. ”

Lin Guoxian said: "If you think of yourself as my son and nephew, why do you still call me the owner of the village?" ”

The east 'gate' Qing hurriedly changed his words: "Uncle Lin." ”

Lin Guoxian was overjoyed and said, "Okay! Good! I have a good nephew like you, and I'm afraid that things won't work out! He also said: "Zhang Lian's matter, I originally hoped that he had the intention to cooperate with us, but now it seems that I am afraid that he not only has no intention of cooperating, but even has taken precautions against us. I want to send more surprise soldiers all the way, one bright and one dark, to achieve things. ”

Having said this, where would Dongmen' Qing not understand what Lin Guoxian meant, so he didn't wait for Lin Guoxian to speak, and asked himself: "If Uncle Lin can be trusted, my nephew is willing to try." ”

Lin Guoxian said happily: "If you go, great things will come true!" ”

Dongmen' Qing asked, "Does my uncle have any tricks for my nephew?" ”

Lin Guoxian said: "On the side of Shen's 'Gate', I have my own strategy to teach him. As for your side, I am not limited to you, and I will fully support you no matter what you want to do. You think about it first, see what you can do, go back and tell me a rough idea, let me see how I can cooperate. ”

Dong'men' Qing is a person with ideas in his heart, not a pure executive talent, so the greater the freedom given to him by Shangfeng, the more energetic he is, after getting Lin Guoxian's words, he was happy, thinking that if Xu Dong in Xiazhai how could he give himself such convenience? Shen 'groaned' for a moment and said: "What kind of plan can you come up with here?" I wanted to take a few brothers with me, first dressed up as a group of merchants from Fujian to sell goods, and then see the opportunity to act near Cangqian Village. ”

Lin Guoxian said: "Okay! ”

Dongmen' Qing said: "It's just that I'm not familiar with the 'Chao' mansion, and I need a guide." ”

Lin Guoxian thought for a while and said: "I have two candidates for you to choose: one is Wu Ping's sister-in-law, this 'female' baby is exquisite, although you haven't seen it, but with the relationship between you and Wu Ping, it shouldn't be difficult to get along; Which do you want? ”

The east 'gate' Qing thought I want a guide, why is it that the person you recommend is not a 'woman' or a child? But he was quite convinced of Lin Guoxian's vision, so he said: "Our group are all men, and one more 'female' person has difficulty moving. Let's ask my uncle's grandson to help. ”

Lin Guoxian smiled: "What are you doing so politely!" That kid can be called my uncle, so he has to call you uncle. I'll send him a message, ask him to wait for you by the sea, and when we meet, you can call as you please. ”
