Chapter 63: The Spring of the Liangshan Water Army
After the destruction of Zhujiazhuang, Liangshan suddenly had more than 1,000 horses. There are many things to do, repairing houses, digging wells, dividing fields, and reclaiming wasteland, and the whole Liangshan is a busy mess, even big leaders like Li Zhu and Shi Bao are also personally in battle.
Wang Lun was even more busy with his feet not touching the ground, and after half a month, everything barely returned to order.
On this day, Wang Lun was practicing calligraphy in the pavilion, and Zhu Gui came running and said: "Brother, Li Kui robbed a caravan today, guess how much gold and silver there is."
Wang Lun saw Zhu Gui behaving obediently, and chuckled, "Oh...... Tell me about it! ”
"Three hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, and ten pearls......
Wang Lun was also surprised, which caravan would go out with so much cash, they all sold goods in the west, and they were taking money to buy some local goods, and then they went back to the east to buy them, and they would definitely not take so much money around them.
At this time, Wang Lun was also interested, and hurriedly said to Zhu Gui: "Go and bring the leader of the caravan to the Juyi Hall, and I will see you." He also specially instructed, "Be polite to others, don't be rude."
About half an hour later, Zhu Gui and Li Kui led a middle-aged man in his thirties to the Juyi Hall, and Zhu Gui said, "This is the leader of the caravan!" With that, he sat aside.
When Wang Lun looked at it, he saw a man with a broad face and a dark complexion. He doesn't look like a businessman, but more like a country farmer who spends his days working in the fields.
Wang Lun looked at the man in front of him and said with a pleasant face: "Don't be nervous, as long as you answer my questions honestly, I won't do anything to you." ”
The person at the bottom was already frightened by Li Kui, and now his legs are still sifting chaff, and after listening to Wang Lun's words, he hurriedly replied: "Although the owner of the village asks, the little one doesn't dare to hide it!" ”
Nodding, Wang Lun first asked: "Let's say where are you from, what is your name, why do you go out with so much gold and silver, and where are you going?"
The middle-aged man sweated profusely and said: "The villain Ye Chun, originally a native of Sizhou, Jiangnan, has a shipyard in Jiangnan, but in recent years, the official family has procured Huashigang in Jiangnan, which has made the people of Jiangnan unhappy, and the villain had to sell the shipyard at a low price, take his wife and children, and all his family property is ready to go to Dengzhou to open another shipyard."
Ye Chun! Li Kui is really good!
Wang Lun slapped the table, and said with excitement on his face: "It turned out to be you, and sure enough, it was you!" ”
This surprised Zhu Gui and Li Kui, and Ye Chun was also trembling.
Wang Lun remembered that in the original trajectory, Chao Gai had robbed a caravan, and it seemed that dozens of boxes of gold and silver goods had been seized at that time.
And when this guy attacked Liangshan, he ran out to offer the drawings of shipbuilding, the reason is that when he passed by Liangshan, he was robbed of his wealth and lived in Jeju City.
Wang Lun didn't want Li Kui to give himself such a big surprise today.
Ye Chun was taken aback by Wang Lun's words, thinking that Wang Lun was going to kill him, so he quickly knelt down and begged bitterly: "The owner of the village will spare his life, as long as the owner of the village does not kill us, the villain is willing to join the cottage and offer all his family property!" ”
Li Kui laughed beside him, this thing is so soft.
Wang Lun valued Ye Chun's skills and abilities more, and hurriedly helped Ye Chun up, and said with a smile: "Not only do I not want your life, but I also don't want your family property, don't you know how to build ships!" As long as you stay in Liangshan and build a ship for the cottage, this Liangshan chair also has your share! ”
Zhu Gui often walked around Shuibo, and he was also overjoyed to hear that Ye Chun would build a ship.
Ye Chun saw the sincerity of what Wang Lun said, so he relaxed a little, and whispered: "The villain is willing to stay and build a boat for the owner of the village!" ”
Wang Lun saw that Ye Chun was scared today, so he said to Zhu Gui: "Quickly take Brother Ye Chun down to rest, don't snub Brother Ye Chun"!
Zhu Gui nodded, and took Ye Chun to the backyard to bathe and change clothes, eat and rest.
Wang Lun saw that Li Kui was still looking at him happily, and scolded with a smile: "Fortunately, you didn't kill Ye Chun today, and you went to the military advisor to receive the reward!" ”
Li Kui listened to the joy and went to find Zhu Wu.
On the second day, Wang Lun gathered several leaders of the Liangshan Water Army together with two military advisors. Meng Kang, the only shipbuilder in Liangshan, also rarely attended.
When San Ruan arrived at the Juyi Hall, Zhu Wu and Li Zhu were already there.
Seeing San Ruan walk in, Li Zhu looked at the three of them and smiled: "The brother of the water army is finally here." ”
"Brother Junshi, summon me and the other three to come today, what good thing should be there to think of our naval brothers?"
As soon as Ruan Xiaoqi sat down, he looked at Li Zhu and asked anxiously. Usually the leaders of the horse army and the infantry army discuss matters, but the navy army is rare.
Ruan Xiaoqi's temperament is unknown to anyone, if Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu are just quite curious, his Ruan Xiaoqi's heart is already as uncomfortable as a cat scratch, and he is already in a hurry.
"Who's good thing!" When Li Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but be happy, he naturally knew why Ruan Xiaoqi in front of him said this, but he still couldn't help but joke: "Maybe it's a chore!" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Ruan Xiaoer, coughed, and had to give up.
Just when a few people were puzzled, Wang Lun took Ye Chun's hand and walked in, and introduced to everyone: "This is the new brother who went up the mountain, named Ye Chun, is a first-class shipbuilder in the world, and now he is also sitting in the cottage!" ”
Ye Chun entered the thief's den, and he was also obedient, and saluted everyone with a grateful face: "The little brother has just arrived, and I will ask you brothers to take care of it in the future!" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi, who has always been lively, walked over, patted Ye Chun's shoulder, and said affectionately: "If there is anything in the future, the Ye family brothers must not be polite, just come to Xiaoqi." It's just a ship made by my brother, but you have to give me a few first! ”
Everyone was amused by Ruan Xiaoqi and laughed, Ruan Xiaoer laughed and scolded: "Okay, you Xiaoqi, you have a good boat, if you don't honor the second brother first, you still want to swallow it alone"?
Ruan Xiaoqi laughed and said: "The second brother wants money, just take it, it's just a new warship, let Xiaoqi try the new ship for my brother first!" ”
Ruan Xiaowu said strangely: "My brother is settling accounts!" And there was a lot of laughter from the crowd.
The arrival of Ye Chun gave birth to Meng Kang's desire to win, and at the same time, there was also a hint of relaxation.
"The reputation of Ye Chun's brother Chima hand, the younger brother has also heard it in Jiangnan. With you coming, the Liangshan Water Army is thriving! ”
The red horse was originally a small boat in the water of the previous generation, which was used for reconnaissance. Ye Chun's shipbuilding skills are superb, and people are rumored to be red horse hands.
When Wang Lun saw it, he also said: "I want you two to work together to strengthen my Liangshan shipyard." ”
After everyone greeted Ye Chun, Wang Lun pulled Ye Chun to sit beside him, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, looking extremely affectionate.
Zhu Wu said with a smile: "Brother Ye Chun has brought several powerful warship drawings to Liangshan, as well as several routes in the southeast and overseas, and his contribution is great!"
Zhu Wu said this, but Ye Chun was able to break through the tradition and design a new type of warship. In recent years, a lot of thought has been put into designing a new type of boat that can travel long distances without the need for oars. In addition, he has many maritime and wealthy connections in the southeast, and is well aware of various sea routes.
It developed loach boats: "The loach ship has arrow holes in the front row, and the crossbow tower is on it." The waves are like a mirage, and the water is like a whale. The dragon scales are dense, and there are twenty-four winches on the left and right; The wings of the geese are all divided, and there are eighteen kinds of weapons in front and behind. The green cloth is woven into a soap cover, and the purple bamboo is made to cover the ocean. The impact back and forth is like a shuttle, and the exhibition turns and turns to bully the fast horse.
Wheel ship: for the warship, carrying the second wheel, flying the wind and waves, fast as hanging sails, the province is easy and long-lasting.
(Thank you Brother Qingniu, Brother Yimei for the reward!) Will work hard, continue to update!! )
