Zhao Xi didn't dare to accept his courtesy, and hurriedly avoided it. Lin Xi was not reluctant, pointed to the simple dock and said: "Since the old man wants to build a shipyard, why not go to Dinghai, but he wants to come here." This hanging mountain hangs lonely overseas, there are many inconveniences in comings and goings, how much business can be built here? ”

"It's not a secret, my master has some shipbuilding secrets, but he doesn't want others to watch and learn." Zhao Xi smiled, if he wanted to gain the trust of the head of the navy, it would be impossible not to reveal some of the bottom: "Besides, the broom gate here is choked, and the sea ships that come to Qingyuan Mansion have to pass through here, if they know that the ships can be repaired here, they will definitely turn around." ”

Lin Xi heard him say resolutely, after all, he didn't have any friendship, so he didn't persuade anymore, just nodded, and then turned to Hu Yichen again: "This Brother Hu, if Duke Hu comes here, please send someone to the Dinghai Branch, I will be the head of the Coastal Control Envoy Division, named Lin Xi." ”

"Dare to disobey?" Hu Yichen was busy giving up, and it was of course a good thing to be able to make friends with a naval army leader. Although Hu Fulang, who is now the shopkeeper, treats their family very kindly, after all, the person in charge is surnamed Zhao, who knows if there will be any changes in him in the future.

His thoughts are not a secret to the old and refined Zhao Xi, and Zhao Xi has no intention of caring about it, and making friends with the coastal envoys was originally one of the tasks given to him by Zhao Heju.

"Since the head of the sect is stationed in Dinghai, if the little old man is in the past, he will definitely ask the head of the sect to drink." Zhao Xidao.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Lin Xi politely said a word, and then stepped on the gangway back to the sea falcon warship, and in just a moment, the ship broke through the wind and waves, turned around and left the hanging mountain.

"This Lin Sect leader is a cool person." Zhao Ximu sent the Haiyu warship away, turned back to Hu Yichen and said, "Yichen, we will return to Dinghai tomorrow, and then invite this Lin sect leader out to drink." ”

Hu Yichen was slightly stunned, a new person like him was naturally not as good as a confidant like Zhao Xi, and Zhao Xi was somewhat dependent on the old and betrayed the old, and he had never been very polite to them, but now he was condescending, presumably for the sake of the Lin sect leader. Although Hu Yichen didn't quite understand why Zhao Xi wanted to befriend that Lin sect leader, he was still willing to do things that could raise his own value.

"Old butler, take me with you tomorrow." Fang Youcai salivated and came up, although he was not a carpenter with excellent skills, but he was a good site supervisor, Zhao Xi was old after all, and some carpenter work was not too understanding, so Zhao Heju sent him to help Zhao Xi.

"It's fine to take you with me, but what about here, who's watching?" Zhao Xi didn't like this carpenter very much, but he couldn't stand the shortness of his old housekeeper all day long, and gradually gave him a good look, but when he heard his words that were not light or heavy, Zhao Xi was still a little annoyed in his heart: "If you miss the little master's matter, you Fang carpenter go back and continue to pull your saw." ”

Fang Youcai shrank his neck when he heard this, although he was far away from Yuzhang Villa, his fear of Zhao Heju had not diminished at all. He finally won the appreciation of Zhao and Ju, no longer dealing with saws, planers, axes, and drills all day long, and boasted in front of a few bankers who were often together on weekdays, if it was because things were not done well, he would be sent back to be a carpenter, just the taunts of those bankers could make him buy a piece of tofu and die. He rolled his eyes, Zhao Xi returned to Dinghai, then he was the leader, instructing dozens of people to work, but the scenery was tight.

"The old housekeeper has learned that the things that Da Lang confesses are the most important, and as for the wine, it is not too late to drink it after returning to the village." Fang Youcai turned his head: "Don't stand still, go and nail the board over there, but I didn't look at you in a blink of an eye, so I rested hand and foot, don't you want to be paid?" ”

These people are all helpers hired from Qingyuan Mansion, and they are not as diligent as Zhuangzi's own people, and they all go to work with a smile when they hear him scold. Fang Youcai felt that if it weren't for him, it would be difficult for Da Lang to complete the things he explained, and he was even more proud in his heart, so he ran over and pointed fingers. Although he is not a skilled craftsman, he has carpentry skills after all, and he can roughly tell whether those people are cheating and cheating when doing things.

Hu Yichen heard him scolding those people, and he was embarrassed to stand and chat with Zhao Xi, so he also went up to work. Zhao Xi walked around beside him, and said twice from time to time, and for a while, the temporary dock was in full swing.

Inadvertently, Zhao Xi raised his head and looked outside, but saw a ship approaching here, it looked like this was a merchant ship, the ship was not very big, it could only go around the near sea, not the kind that could go out to the ocean.

When the ship reached the shore, it did not come up, but dropped anchor about ten feet offshore. One of the people on the boat asked aloud, "Who are you waiting for, and what are you doing here?" ”

"It's strange today, people are coming one after another, these people don't seem to be the officers and soldiers of the Coastal Control Division, they are just ordinary maritime businessmen, why do they come to inquire?" Zhao Xi muttered in his heart, and made a gesture over there unhurriedly: "My family bought this half of the island from Changguo County, and I want to make a boat yard here, I don't know what advice Your Excellency has?" ”

"I was originally a shipyard, but I also said that I was a pirate, and I was about to report to the official." The man shrieked, and a boatload of sailors laughed. After a while, the man said, "You old man is bold, and you are alone here, and you are not afraid of the good men of the sea coming to patronize your business?" ”

"I'm afraid that the heroes at sea don't look down on my family's bitter belongings." Zhao Xi arched his hand again, he didn't know the details of this group, and he was always annoying to be polite.

"It's hard to be able to open a boat haha, then those of us who fight for their lives at sea, aren't we so poor that we only have a pair of pants!" The man shrieked again.

"If it weren't for the bitterness, how could I have come to this boat yard to buy land on the Dinghai side." Zhao Xi also smiled.

"You old man with sharp teeth, I want to ask your surname."

"My surname is Zhao, a single name and a happy word, and I am a person from Shaoxing Mansion." Zhao Xidao.

"Shaoxing Mansion, we are going to Shaoxing Mansion, if we have a fate, maybe we can meet there." The man said sharply again: "Let's go, Zhao Lao'er, I don't want to stay on the ship anymore, maybe come to your island." ”

The boat whirled, and left the island on the waves, Zhao Xi frowned, this group of people is a little weird, and I don't know what they are doing in Shaoxing Mansion.

"Old butler, there was a stammering man on that boat just now." Hu Yichen, who had been working, suddenly said to Zhao Xi.

"Widows?" Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, in his eyes, the most familiar people were naturally the Song people, the Jin people, the Dali people, the Xixia people, and after a while, he remembered: "How do you know that it is a Japanese person?" ”

"When I was in Quanzhou, I had a lot of dealings with the Japanese people, and I could hear their official tone." Hu Yichen said.

Zhao Xi didn't care, he also heard a little about the Japanese people coming to the Song Dynasty, even when he went to this Qingyuan Mansion, he also heard that there were Japanese people. (Note 2)

Note 2: At this time, it was the Kamakura Shogunate period in Japan, although the Song Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom were not as close as the Tang Dynasty, there were many records, such as the "Buddha Chronicles" volume 47 recorded that the Wa monks came to Mingzhou (that is, Ningbo) to ask the Dharma, and then there was Japan's "Todaiji Temple Continued to Record the Buddha Chapter" recorded that the Mingzhou skilled craftsmen Chen Heqing, Chen Foshou, Yi Xingmo, Rokuro and others went to Japan to repair Nara's Todaiji Temple, and even the third general of the Kamakura Shogunate, Minamoto Mino, heard that he was the reincarnation of the elder of the Asoka Temple in Mingzhou, so he wanted to supervise the construction of a big ship to worship in the Song Dynasty, after he was killed, His remains were taken to Ningbo for burial. Woohoo, the generals of the Song Dynasty would rather die and bury China, and now some Chinese girls would rather marry Japan, before and after, not very embarrassing.
