Chapter 399: Establishing a Shipyard (2)
Seeing Dou Yuquan's eyes full of gratitude, Liu Ximing patted his thigh again.
"The two of us don't need to say anything else, since this matter has already been resolved, I will let He Tianlei continue to investigate, you just have to wait for the results."
"By the way, the more times like this, the more you should make yourself stronger, and you have to work harder in this year's township test."
Dou Yuquan was pulled out of the abyss of despair by Liu Ximing, and when he heard his words, he immediately burst into tears and laughed, "Hahaha, don't worry, I will fight with you for this solution this year." ”
"Hahaha", Liu Ximing laughed loudly.
Dou Yuquan is also a key figure in Liujia Village at the moment, not to mention his previous help to Liu Ximing, but he is also an indispensable friend of Liu Ximing.
Now that he has recovered, Liu Ximing is naturally sincerely happy.
As for the affairs of the Shu Palace, since he dared to speak, he naturally had to do it.
Anyway, the old Zhu family's evil sons and grandsons have done all the bad things, and if they really kill them, they will also eliminate harm for the people.
"By the way, there is one more thing to tell you", Liu Ximing suddenly thought of Huguang again.
“…… That's it, judging from the situation last time, Tang Xiuyuan seems to have some problems, what do you think about this? ”
Dou Yuquan's hands holding Liu Ximing involuntarily loosened, and his whole body began to tremble.
Seeing this, Liu Ximing had no choice but to comfort again: "I'm just telling you about this, I can't verify it, just know it yourself." ”
Who knew that Dou Yuquan grabbed him with a thoughtful look, "It's a little strange to say this, I remember that after being rescued by the Tang family at that time, Uncle Tang's first sentence when he saw me seemed to be asking me what I brought." ”
"I didn't think much of it at the time, but now that you say it, it doesn't seem that simple."
"Something?" , Liu Ximing also became puzzled.
Suddenly, he thought of something and turned his head to look at Dou Yuquan, only to find that the two of them were looking at each other at the same time.
"That box that Min Yue said!"
Liu Ximing touched his chin, "So it makes sense, these forces are actually looking for your father's box, but the Tang family is more skilled, and they know to hold you first and then look for it slowly." ”
"In this way, in your Shunqing days, there must be someone in the Tang family who is watching you as much as possible, fortunately, you really don't know, otherwise I am afraid that you will be harmed by them."
Dou Yuquan came down with cold sweat.
Liu Ximing hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't worry, these are just our conjectures now, and the specific things will have to be clarified later." ”
"That's all there is to it, hey, who would have thought that there would be more in one night than in a year for me."
"Who's to say it isn't, hey, what's the fuck this thing called?" , Liu Ximing punched the table.
There are many things, but they still have to be done one by one.
The next day, Liu Ximing made a special trip to find the group of shipwrights he had recruited from Songjiang with Chen Zilong.
After all, they left their hometown to work in Sichuan, and these 100 people came alone, but unfortunately they were all a group of older craftsmen, if they were expected to go into battle in person, the large fleet planned by Liu Ximing did not know when it would be completed.
However, Liu Ximing was also satisfied, if it weren't for the fact that these craftsmen were old and couldn't do their jobs, I am afraid they would not have followed him to Sichuan.
"The little ones meet the uncle, and I wish the uncle a long life."
As soon as they met this time, led by Yi Xin and Yuan Nan and others, a group of little old men all knelt down to worship in a hula, which was much more respectful than the last time they saw Liu Ximing.
Yi Xin's face was full of panic, "I didn't expect that my uncle would be canonized by the imperial court, the little ones didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick before, and it was no wonder that I asked my uncle." ”
"Hahaha, Uncle Yi, please hurry up."
Liu Ximing laughed and stepped forward, pulled Yi Xin and Yuan Nan up, and even personally mentioned that Yi Xin patted the dust on his knees, causing Yi Xin to avoid saying that he didn't dare to say again.
Liu Ximing made a gesture of meaning, and then smiled: "This is my home, you don't have to be so polite." ”
The boatwrights all bowed their heads in resignation, not daring to look at each other.
Liu Ximing turned his head to look at Xie Changda, Dou Yuquan and the others who came over, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Looking at it this way, I have saved the effort of disciplining these people, and I want to say that the skin of the court is really effective in the eyes of the little people.
"Okay, Yi Gong, how are you and your party living in my house, there is nothing unsuitable for water and soil, right?"
Yi Xin hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Uncle Lao is worried, the little ones are all very good, and some of them are not adaptable, and they have also been cured by the doctors in our hospital, and now I am waiting for the uncle's orders." ”
Yi Xin originally wanted to talk about money, but now that Liu Ximing was suddenly crowned uncle, he didn't even dare to let out a fart.
Liu Ximing turned his head to look at Xie Changda, "You still say that people have a lot of complaints, I am very optimistic, you people in charge are not allowed to bully others because they are foreigners." ”
Xie Changda hurriedly shouted injustice: "Uncle Mingjian, how dare your subordinates, we can keep in mind Uncle's instructions, the world is a family, regardless of each other." ”
He glanced at Yi Xin, who was now respectful, and didn't talk about the performance of the gang before.
Liu Ximing smiled, he didn't know these things, he just scolded Huai in front of these boatwrights, so as not to make Xie Changda and others difficult to manage in the future.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about the past", Liu Ximing waved his hand casually.
"Yi Gong, I promised you that I would definitely give you money, but you have to do this for Benjue, otherwise, hum."
A group of boatwrights nodded busily.
Liu Ximing then took the workshop and shipwrights to the southern city wall, "From today onwards, you will start construction, build a shipyard here, and then mobilize manpower to dig a big lake out, I will be of great use." ”
After speaking, he looked at Yi Xin and the others, with a malicious smile on his face.
"Yi Gong, you are old, you are definitely not good at doing work, now you first guide Deputy Xie to build the shipyard, and then send twenty apprentices to each of you, and hand over all your skills to them."
"Wow"
The boatwrights who followed all exclaimed, and they all looked at each other, but they didn't dare to refute.
Liu Ximing pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What, you don't want to?" ”
Yi Xin's face was full of bitterness, and he kept saying: "Uncle, the skills of this craftsman have always been passed on only to his own apprentices, how can he be handed over to dozens of people at once, uncle, this ......"
Xie Changda, who was on the side, finally found an opportunity and instantly put down his face, "Bastard, do you think that my uncle paid you such a high price just to let a few old men who can't lift their shoulders build a few painting boats?" ”
"It's really a human heart", Dou Yuquan said casually fanning on the side dressed as a noble son.
The group of people in the workshop looked at Liu Ximing's eyes, and they all understood, and immediately followed to reprimand Yi Xin and the others.
Liu Ximing quietly listened to them pretend to be black for a while, and saw Zhuo Yixin and the others trembling as if they wanted to argue but didn't dare to argue, so he smiled and waved his hand to signal quiet.
"Yi Xin, you guys are not authentic, Benjue has come all the way to invite you to come over, in order to build a big ship, build a good ship, and now you can't do it, do you still want to blame Benjue."
Yi Xin's heart was full of bitterness, he had heard in Songjiang that someone was recruiting to build a shipbuilding in Sichuan, and they thought it was a rich boy who was joking.
A group of people mainly looked at the silver, and wanted to go to Sichuan to flicker around and leave, but they didn't know that they smashed their feet today.
Of course, the people who came were indeed old shipwrights, but they taught the craft to outsiders, and a group of people were unwilling to be killed.
Liu Xi's life is clear about the habit of craftsmen in this era, so he has to make such a move today.
Seeing Yi Xin and others scratching hemp, he did not continue to persecute, but reasoned.
"In this way, Benjue is not an unreasonable person, you craftsmen are reluctant to give their craft to others, on the one hand, it is because they are too narrow-minded, but on the other hand, it is more because they are worried that they have taught their apprentices to starve to death of their masters, do you think this is the truth?"
Yi Xin and the others still didn't dare to answer, but the look in their eyes betrayed them.
