After a few glasses of rice wine, the cautious Ye Chun became more and more talkative, and he bluntly said that Lord Xiao had to build a sea ship if he wanted to take the sea route to do business. In response to large paddle-type vehicles such as loach boats, Xiao Tang also reminded him in his words that in today's ordinary season, most paddle steamers that rely on human power to operate have the weakness of not being able to sail in shallow water and inconvenient to enter the sea for navigation, and asked Ye Chun if he had the ability to improve.

Ye Chun, who was originally displaced, was finally able to be reused in the shipyard under the name of Xiao Tang in Banqiao Town, Mizhou, so he naturally had to show all his skills to teach the master who had decided to defect to know his ability.

It is only for a moment to think about it, Ye Chun said that this is not difficult, ordinary ships make the wind shake the oars, it is not lawful, and it is also the small bottom tip of the ship, it is difficult to use force. However, there is a way that the new car and ship have the front rules, and the drum is like flying, and in addition to the big ship carrying the second wheel, flying the wind and blowing the waves, and then want to hang the sail and go fast, the province is easy and long-lasting, and the bottom of the lake boat, the cover of the warship, and the head and tail of the sea ship are improved, and it is impossible to go out of the river and the Huai River as soon as possible, and the new river and sea dual-purpose ship that combines the characteristics of lake ships and sea ships is extremely light (Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty for ten years, when Fujian pacified Zhang Jun wrote to Song Gaozong to build a sea ship to Shandong to attack Jin soldiers from the flank, Later, the Mingzhou Dinghai Navy built a dual-purpose ship of the river and the sea, which was in the era of the alternation of the two Song Dynasty, which was also a shipbuilding technology that was mastered by skilled craftsmen at that time).

Xiao Tang saw that Ye Chun was very confident, and probably could understand that in the original work, Gao Yu was eager to break through Liangshanbo Dazhai, and Ye Chun also adapted measures to local conditions, and presented large and small loach boat patterns to attack Liangshan Shan Shuijun in response to the water potential of thousands of inland lakes in Liangshan Bogang and 800 miles around the four directions.

In the Song Dynasty, the official ships were divided into many types, such as warm boats, shallow house ships, shallow boats, two-masted multi-oared boats, icebreakers, etc., which were not only reasonably designed, but also mostly ships of huge type, and the types of ships improved by the civil shipbuilding sites were even more diverse.

Xiao Tang immediately made a decision to let Ye Chun and Meng Kang make improvements to the watertight cabin, anti-shake keel, balance rudder and other aspects of shipbuilding, and then draw the paper into a ship-like pattern for shipping, as for felling, purchasing wood plants and shipbuilding materials, etc., Ye Chun was also fully responsible. Ye Chun was even more overjoyed when he heard this, and said again and again that the villain must be exhausted, and he will never live up to the trust of Lord Xiao.

Xiao Tang also noticed that when Ye Chun, who was originally cautious, was talking about shipbuilding improvements and other matters, his eyes gradually exuded a strange and confident brilliance, just like Erlongshan Dazhai is also not good at dealing with people, but he is also an expert craftsman in making artillery tools Thunder Ling Zhen, people can only really experience that kind of happiness when they are engaged in the field they are most passionate about and best at, even if Ye Chun is extremely repulsive to the green forest and grass, However, he also belongs to the professional talents who have been buried by Qu Shen in this era, and when he and himself become more and more trusting and close to each other, it is a gathering of righteousness, but it can also give Ye Chun many opportunities to display his talents, and it is not without a chance to teach him to be willing to be a ministry leader in the green forest village.

Although it is inconvenient to inform Ye Chun of the plan he secretly implemented at the moment, Xiao Tang also knows that he has enough money to teach Ye Chun peace of mind, and he stays in the shipyard in Banqiao Town, Mizhou, to work for himself. But compared to this skillful boatsmith who only wants to settle down, to teach Xu Wen, who was born as a salt lord, to completely respect himself, it seems that he has to change his routine.

Although they were all hired by Xiao An to work in the Mizhou firm, Xiao Tang was also very obviously able to have a very unharmonious relationship between Xu Wen and Ye Chun. Ye Chun hated the strongman in the green forest, and Xu Wen was reckless, and Xu Wen seemed to look down on him when he saw Ye Chunwei. Seeing that Ye Chun had been talking eloquently and showing off his skills in front of Xiao Tang, Xu Wen was also very unconvinced after seeing it coldly.

But Ye Chun's shipbuilding skills are indeed much better than his own, if you talk about the ability to drive a boat in the water... Xu Wen has been employed by Xiao An in Mizhou for a while, and he has also seen Ruan's Sanxiong, Zhang Shun and other skilled men often come and go...... It seems to be a step behind.

Lao Tzu not only wants a generous monthly remuneration, but also wants to fight for face in front of a group of heroes here, and also saves being compared to Ye Chun, a cowardly bird....... So what kind of ability do I have to show my face in front of this Xiao Tang and teach him to know that Lao Tzu is a capable person who is one in a thousand without teaching them to be neglected?

Xu Wen thought in his heart, he suddenly glared at him, and yelled at the bartender who was sifting the wine: "Straight lady thief!" You can't treat the old man as a? Do you think we can't eat wine, or owe you money for the wine in this bird shop, and then change it to some burning spirits, and sift the big bowl of wine, impatient to eat at a small price! ”

The loud shouting and scolding overshadowed Ye Chun's voice, and Xiao Tang, Xiao Jiasui, Xiao An, Ruan's Sanxiong, Zhang Shun and others at the banquet also looked at Xu Wen's side, and the bartender was stunned by Xu Wen's scolding at first, and then had to swallow his anger and confess, and after changing a few large bowls and jars of wine, he sifted the wine and handed it to Xu Wen's table.

Xiao Tang looked coldly at Xu Wen and pushed the big bowl full of wine in front of him, and saw him grow up, raised the wine bowl in his hand, and then said angrily: "Xiao Renxia is a hero who shocks the rivers and lakes, and I have also heard that he is good at making a big gun, and his skills with double knives are exquisite, and his fist and foot martial arts are rumored to be strong in the Tao. I naturally admire the tightness, and this bowl of wine must also be respected! ”

After listening to Xu Wen's words, Xiao Tang also roughly heard his voice, so he also drank all the spirits in the bowl, and then said: "It is also praised by a good man, I also know that strong people have their own strong hands, since Steward Xu can make a fifty-pound big knife smart, he is naturally a capable person with extraordinary strength and high ability, but I don't know what to say?" ”

Xu Wen wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and said with a smile: "In the past, I sold salt for a business, and traveled to and from several states along the sea, relying not only on the ability to swing the oars into the water, but also on the road with my skills and skills The characters on the road dare not touch my moldy head, when I often walk around on the Junzhou Road near the sea on Jingdong Road, there is only one soldier and horse called Chi Sun Li, who is called the sick lieutenant, seems to be a capable person, and what kind of little guy who is doing forbidden things on the beach will look at the wind when he sees him... I only regarded Sun Li as a character before, but I was afraid that he was an officer and general in the army, so as not to be arrested by the military department of the government, but I didn't have a chance to compare with him......

Now that I am fortunate to be under the command of Xiao Renxia, I am no longer a smuggled salt trader, and I am confident that I can also compete with the heroes in the rivers and lakes with extravagant means. Since Xiao Renxia is a good man who teaches people in the rivers and lakes to be respected, he doesn't know if he can show face, meet friends with martial arts, and have a few tricks with me? ”

Before Xiao Tang could speak, Ruan Xiaoqi beside him couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Xu Dadao, you don't know how good you are!" What kind of person is my brother, who wants him to condescend to you? Speaking of which, my strength should be inferior to yours, but we haven't tried boxing, if we want to find Brother Xiao Tang to compete, it's better for you and me to compare and match first, land and underwater, you can choose! ”

Xu Wen was about to show his ability, so he said proudly: "If the seventh brother is a face, of course he will make it." ”

"Hurry up! Come, come, come, you've eaten enough wine, and it's time to move your muscles! ”

Ruan Xiaoqi, who was fast-talking, also stood up, patted his chest and said loudly: "Let's see a real chapter in our hands, if you can beat me, I will call you brother!" ”

Xiao Tang stopped Ruan Xiaoqi with a fierce wave of his hand, he raised his head and stared at Xu Wen, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, don't be impatient, since Steward Xu has found me by name, what's the harm in everyone having a competition?" If I am not as good as Xiao Qi in terms of ability in the water, I am afraid that I will not be able to match Steward Xu, but whether it is fists and feet, weapons, I am also at the mercy of Steward Xu, and the point is up to now, don't hurt the harmony. ”
