Out of the newspaper office, outside the door, a few people looked at the distance, the four sides were surrounded by big walls, surrounded by smoke, a little curious.

"Anyway, it's okay to come here today, so why don't you take us around and take a look, okay?" Xiang Wenxuan said what was in everyone's hearts.

Cao Yan didn't shirk this, nodded and asked, "Okay, where do you want to go?" ”

Several people glanced around.

Xiang Wenxuan pointed to the tallest chimney and asked, "What is that place?" ”

Cao Yan looked at it and thought for a while, and replied, "Where iron should be smelted, go and see it?" ”

Xiang Wenxuan shook his head, smelting iron, he was not interested, that place, he had been to it many times before, it was hot and dangerous, and many of the people who worked in it were shirtless, just wearing a bib around the trouser leg, and it was really inconvenient to take these girls there.

He looked around again, and saw a huge workshop by the river, he knew that Cao Yan wanted a lot of boatmen, and he wanted to see what kind of boats Cao Yan built.

So he pointed in the direction of the docks, "That's where the virtuous nephew built the ship, right?" ”

Cao Yan looked in that direction, thinking about the twenty or so all-nighters he had stayed up there, his face was a little bad, of course he still replied: "Yes!" ”

Xiang Wenxuan obviously noticed that Cao Yan's face was wrong, and asked with concern: "What's the matter, shipbuilding is in trouble?" ”

"No, it's been solved, but a lot of ships haven't been finished yet, so it's a bit of a headache." Cao Yan rubbed his face.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Hearing Xiang Wenxuan's words, Cao Yan's eyes lit up, yes, he was a big tyrant in front of him, why did he forget him? So Cao Yan asked, "Does the prince's family have a boat?" ”

"Yes! How do you need a boat? Xiang Wenxuan asked.

"Go and bring some stuff back." Cao Yan replied.

"Transporting something?"

"Yes!"

"Where to go?"

That's a bit far, and it's hard to answer.

Cao Yan looked at him with the expression that you don't ask so clearly, we can still talk, and didn't reply for a long time.

Xiang Wenxuan obviously found that he seemed to be asking a little too much, smiled generously, changed the topic and said, "Let's go see the ship you built first." ”

Looking at the busy craftsmen in the shipyard, several people visited casually.

After all, time is still short, and many ships have only laid keels and built some shelves.

Xiang Wenxuan looked around and asked with a little curiosity: "Virtuous nephew, the boat you built is a bit big, and the shape is a little strange!" By the way, what's that over there? ”

Xiang Wenxuan pointed to the corner and asked.

Cao Yan looked in that direction, it was his nightmare for more than 20 days all night, he gritted his teeth and replied: "Boat!" ”

"The boat, why is it in that corner, and it's still stopped?" Xiang Wenxuan asked a little curiously.

"That boat is a bit special," Cao Yan replied.

This special word immediately made everyone present have a strong interest.

"Let's take a look!" Xiang Wenxuan took the lead and walked over there.

……

……

"Shhh...... Are you sure this is...... Boat? Xiang Wenxuan felt that his legs were trembling a little.

Not to mention the other girls, especially Xiaoyudi, whose faces are all frightened and snow-white!

In front of me was a steel ship more than 140 meters long, more than 6 meters high, and more than 14 meters wide.

Of course, if there are people who have studied the history of the development of world warships, they can endure the prototype of this ship, the system magic version of the "Wiesbaden" class light cruiser.

Its shell has been formed, shining brightly in the sun, it is made by Cao Yan using his armor to absorb particles such as steel in the past twenty nights, it is a special space special steel, so to speak, in this era, except for God, only Cao Yan can make it sink, and no one else can break its steel plate.

Xiang Yixin took a few steps forward and knocked, and the hull of the ship made a sound of "bang".

"Won't this ship of iron sink?" Xiang Yixin asked a little curiously.

When Cao Yan heard this, she immediately wanted to scold her mother, and glanced at Xiang Yixin with a little helplessness.

"Yixin, this shouldn't sink, right? After all, it was built by Cao Gongzi. Zhong Xinyi smiled faintly and corrected Xiang Yixin's mistake.

But here, Cao Yan's face darkened, and he sighed instead, staring at Zhong Xinyi speechlessly.

Xiaoyudi, finding that Cao Yan was darker, hurriedly shook Zhong Xinyi's hand: "Miss, Miss, you also said Shen Zi, such a color is not good!" ”

Cao Yan......

Yes, today is all due to the fact that Luo Fatzi did not come, or it is estimated that with the mouths of these four people, his ship is estimated to have sunk.

Xiang Wenxuan heard the words of several people, and smiled softly, "Virtuous nephew, how long will it take for this ship to be built." He was also full of curiosity about this behemoth, and wanted to see what it would be like when it was built.

Cao Yan looked at the internal assembly drawings on the side and estimated, "There should be more than ten days, and I will almost be able to go into the water." ”

"Okay, I'll help you find a way in the next ten days, how many boats do you need?" Xiang Wenxuan asked.

"The more the merrier!" Cao Yan looked at the rolling river, thought for a while, and said.

"Okay, you wait for my news."

After a while of looking around, everyone had lunch here and then took their leave.

……

……

"Open the door quickly,......" There was a violent knock in front of the door of Liu's mansion.

As soon as Menzi heard this familiar voice, he hurriedly opened the door.

"Young Master, why are you back?" Menzi asked angrily as he opened the door.

But Liu Xiucai didn't even answer, and shouted, "Dad," and ran towards the back room.

Led the whole house out.

"Son, why are you back? Is there a holiday for private school today? A middle-aged woman hurriedly trotted out of it and asked.

"Mother, no, right, what about Dad?" Liu Xiucai hurriedly asked.

"He was still ...... just now" Before the woman's words were finished, she saw a middle-aged man with a black face walking out of the backyard, he was Liu Xiucai's father, Liu Lichang, the head of this Liujia Village.

"Why did you come back without a holiday?" Liu Lichang roared with anger.

"Dad, good news," Liu Xiucai hurriedly took out a newspaper from his cloth bag and handed it over.

Liu Lichang took the newspaper and wondered, "What is this?" What's the good news? ”

"Dad, look at this!" Liu Xiucai hurriedly flipped the newspaper to the last page.

Liu Li took a closer look and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is what Cao Sanhuo made, our village is some distance away from Jiangning Mansion, the news will definitely not come so quickly, as long as we quickly borrow everyone's household registration, then there will be more than 400 stones." Liu Xiucai hurriedly said, their village is a large village with more than 4,000 people, and 800 guan is not a small number.

"This?" Liu Lichang looked at the news and hesitated a little, and suddenly asked a key question, "By the way, how many pieces of this thing are there?" Don't tell me to ask for a copy of 200 wen? He raised the newspaper in his hand and asked, after all, books in this era are not cheap.

"Dad, this thing is called a newspaper, it's only five cents a piece, hurry up and gather everyone, if it's slow, you won't be in a hurry."

"It's only five cents?" Liu Lichang obviously didn't believe it, "You weren't deceived, right?" ”

"Why, when I came back, someone had already gone to change it back, and I rushed back when I saw it." Liu Xiucai was a little anxious, he knew that he wouldn't be there waiting to see, and he would come back directly, and now his father is still asking endlessly, he really cares that someone in the village rushes to get the news back.

Liu Lichang paced back and forth in the courtyard.

Liu Xiucai was anxious, "Dad, don't think about it anymore, I'm afraid that others will come back." ”

"But what if someone else doesn't borrow it?" Liu Lichang asked.

"We can say that if we borrow it, we will give ten cents, and when they hear that there is money to be made, how can they not borrow it?" Liu Xiucai hurriedly came up with an idea.

"Are you sure it's true?" Liu Lichang still asked uneasily.

"Daddy! If it's not fast, it's really not in a hurry. ”

Seeing his son in such a hurry, Liu Lichang gritted his teeth and shouted outside the door: "Liu Ergou, go and ring the bell for the gathering in the village, let everyone go to the valley to gather, and say that I have something important to announce." ”
