Section 119 Shenzhou City (9) Old Brothers
Just when Yue Xiaofei was messing around at the prefect's house in Fuzhou, Ji Minxuan was scolding him.
After Ji Minxuan and the others came out, she did not go home, but directly said goodbye to the two of them and went to the shipyard at home, and the "sail car" that was being built in the past few days was almost completed.
Ji Minxuan, who was sitting in a small sedan chair, looked at the river, dissipating the idle anger that she had brought back from Yue Xiaofei. But a boat on the river caught her eye. Because of the wind, the ship did not hang sails, nor did it have a treadmill impeller, but it went very fast.
"Hey" Ji Minxuan doesn't know much about shipbuilding technology, but she is also very clear about the most important part, and this ship is too strange for her.
"Parking car"
Soon she and Mei'er stood by the river and looked at the strange boat, only to see that the boat was not an ordinary wood color, but painted gray, and the strings were written on the side of the words "Old Barracks Number".
It turns out that this is the "clipper" that Brother Jiang said. It's just that this ship didn't see the sail and the impeller of the treadmill, even if it was going downstream, but it shouldn't have gone so fast, it was a matter of shipbuilding skills, how could she understand it before she could rest assured.
Soon Mei'er found a big car. "Coachman, catch the boat," the coachman thought she was going to take a boat, nodded and whipped his whip, and drove away.
The destination of the old barracks is not far from the Ji family shipyard, which was originally the dock of the Hongjia shipyard. At this point, you can start building a dockyard again. Hong Sihai, watching four or five hundred strong men struggling to dig the earth and rocks, felt a lot of emotion in his heart. To say that the ability of Hongjia Shipyard to build ships back then is also counted. But compared to this Boss Yue, it is really far behind, and it can be seen that he is not very good at shipbuilding, but the things he came up with are really enough to think about it.
Just talking about this dock, you can listen to how big his heart is. In the future, he will build a large ship of more than 20 zhang (60 meters) here, and it is not a treasure ship in his opinion, but what kind of ship should it be?
Ji Minxuan touched her nose, and originally wanted to coax the boat boss to be happy with a few obedient words to let her get on the boat to take a look. But the guy with a strange name is very fierce and not very arrogant. A word of "secret" sent himself down.
"Huh, Captain? What a bad name, I haven't heard of it," Mei'er puffed out his cheeks and scolded quietly.
Ji Minxuan was relieved, didn't her own dock also be visited, but she still saw something interesting.
When the two men got off the boat, they stood next to a platform that was more than one person high. There was a long wooden shelf stretched out of the table, and I don't know what it was used for. There are also two bald heads on the stage talking there, which doesn't sound Chinese.
Soon some people brought in a few carts with only two wheels, but no one came on board to help carry the logs.
"Hey! Little girl, get out of the way. The two people on the high platform spoke Chinese that they were not proficient in, and drove Ji Minxuan's master and servant to the side. At this time, something happened that Ji Minxuan couldn't have imagined, and the inclined wooden shelf on the high platform had already reached the boat under the rotation of the two bald heads.
After the two whistles, the iron hook was lowered, and then a sailor stepped forward to pick up the rope from the wood and hang the iron hook, and when it was ready, the sailor had already whistled twice, and the two people on the high platform here were busy. There is a "swish" sound, and with this sound, the rope on the wood is slowly tightened until the thick log is hoisted (manual hoist). After being three feet away from the boat, he slowly descended to the trolley. The cart was only two bald heads, and he reached out and pressed the upturned wood and pushed it away leisurely.
Ji Minxuan was very surprised when she looked at this, if her own boat wanted to unload these logs from the ship, she didn't know how many people would have to do it at the same time.
"How can these people be as evil as Boss Yue's villain! Since this guy has these tricks, he has to ask him to understand. ”
"Let's go...... Walk...... Let's go, the two bald heads on the high platform began to catch up with the master and servant.
This time, Ji Minxuan gave them a roll of their eyes, and scolded in her heart: "What? It's really like me to get together, and I'm as arrogant and unreasonable as your boss Yue.
At this time, it was time to leave after messing around in Fuzhou Mansion.
Ji Da, the shopkeeper of the Four Seas Shipyard, had been in the dock for a few months, and saw that the hanging boat, car and ship that he had been focusing on for a long time, was about to be completed. It is a clipper made by the Cheng family's sailors, with 32 treadmills on each side, and the speed is extremely fast even when driving against the wind. Although the ship is almost completed, but he has no joy in his heart, almost half a year, he has only won a dragon boat race, and has not won since, and the Sun family has nearly twenty warships in the Zheng family alone, all of which are fifteen or sixteen zhang big ships like this one, and other ships have more orders, and if their own shipyard can't win the dragon boat race, it will be dangerous. Fortunately, the group of wicked people from Yanping occupied the Changle Gang, but I don't know how much filial piety they want!
"Daddy" daughter appeared in front of him with the voice, his daughter Ji Minxuan has always been his pride, not only beautiful and lovely, but also a good hand in management, but unfortunately, no matter how capable she is, she is a girl after all. It seems that only marrying the Sun family is a good way, otherwise this Sihaifang will be handed over to anyone.
"Daddy, why are you upset again?"
Ji Da's shopkeeper looked up, but saw that his daughter's little face was flushed, faintly revealing some sweat, thinking that he had been walking for a long time, and he wondered in his heart, his daughter has always been quiet and quiet on weekdays, what happened today?
"Daddy, I'll tell you good news, I'm afraid that Uncle Hong is back!"
"Ugh! It's true. After listening to his daughter's words, Ji Da's shopkeeper felt infinite emotions in his heart, thinking that he had a deep friendship with Na Hong Sihai back then. At that time, Hong Bin, the son of the Hong family, also gave Ji Minxuan a finger for marriage, but unfortunately the Hong family unfortunately suffered that catastrophe later, his wife and children were buried in the fire, and only escaped from his father and daughter.
"Where are the others?"
"Hehe, Brother Ji, it's rare that you still remember my ......" With laughter, Hong Sihai flashed in from behind Ji Minxuan.
"Brother Sihai, it's really you, depending on where you have gone, I will never see each other again in this life when you and my brother will never see each other again! ……”
"How can I be, my old bones are reluctant to brother you......"
"Brother, where did you come back?"
"I'm now with Boss Yue of the old military camp in Yanping, and I'm back to our Fuzhou to open Shenzhou Fang."
Ji Minxuan is familiar with Yue Xiaofei's name, and there is no time in her heart that she doesn't scold him several times a day. But then she remembered about the ship, "Uncle Hong, do you know what kind of ship was called 'Old Army' by the river just now?" ”
"Hehe, you also saw Uncle's clumsy ......."
