"A month?" Zhu Youxiao laughed loudly, "Haha, haha, Xiao Wu, you are too underestimated of our treasure ship." I tell you clearly: 7 days! It only took 7 days to go back and forth.

This ship sent a full 1,500 stones of various materials to Juehua Island. Such a fast delivery speed, such a large carrying capacity! Haha, even Yuan Keli was shocked. Zhu Youxiao's whole person looked extremely excited.

"According to Yuan Keli's performance, if God opens his eyes and has a smooth journey, he will be able to run back and forth in 4 days at the earliest. What do you think? Didn't expect it, Xiao Wu? Zhu Youxiao proudly displayed.

Looking at Zhu Youxiao's proud face, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but complain in his heart: "What's there!" The slowest passenger ship in the previous life, it didn't take a whole night to get from Yantai to Dalian? 4 days, just this speed is also something to be proud of? ”

His face was deliberately filled with shock.

"So fast? I heard that you have to run for 7-10 days to go to Liaodong Pegasus, right? Big brother, Yuan Keli won't be deliberately coaxing us, right? Zhu Youzhen deliberately picked some small faults from his words, wanting to crack down on the big brother who showed off.

"Say what? Little Five. Zhu Youxiao's face sank, "Yuan Keli is definitely not the kind of person you think." That old stubborn never misreported. When he pacified the rebellion of the White Lotus Demon in Shandong, there was no first-level false report on the beheading of the officers and soldiers of the company, and I could trust him. ”

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to speak out, Zhu Youxiao slowed down his tone: "Little Wu, you have to talk through your brain in the future, and some things can't be said casually." If you say it, it will hurt the hearts of loyal ministers. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked ashamed, "What the eldest brother said is that Xiao Wu was reckless." ”

"Well, I can't blame you entirely. Xiao Wu, after all, you are still young and have too little knowledge.

Let me tell you that the waterway from Dengzhou to Juehua Island is the same as the sailor ships of the past, and it only takes 7-8 days to travel back and forth.

The speed of the Zhenyun ship has not increased much compared to the previous ships. Yuan Keli didn't need to coax me for this little improvement. ”

"I see." Zhu Youzhen showed a sudden expression, "Big brother, you are still powerful, you know so much." ”

Hearing Xiao Wu's heartfelt praise, Zhu Youxiao's face was slightly hot.

The speed of the ship from Dengzhou to Juehua Island, he also knew it after seeing Yuan Keli's recital, and he deliberately did his homework, and he really couldn't afford Xiao Wu's praise.

However, hearing Xiao Wu's praise, Zhu Youxiao was still very happy in his heart.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhu Youxiao continued to admonish Zhu Youzhen: "Little Wu, it seems that you really have to study hard." As long as you study well, you will definitely be able to surpass the eldest brother. Little Five, what are you pouting? ”

Unexpectedly, if he pouted lightly, he would be seen by the eldest brother. Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to say with a bitter face: "Big brother, I really can't stand those who are called Shiyun." My head will hurt after watching it for a while, and I don't want to take the top test, can I not read it? ”

Seeing Xiao Wu's pitiful appearance, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think of when he was studying.

Yes, those poems are really boring to read! Compared to the allure of carpentry skills, it is a world of difference.

No, you can't let Xiao Wu slide over so easily.

"Little Wu, I don't have to ask you to read those poems. You're so smart, as long as it's a book that interests you, you read more. There are so many books in the world, I don't believe you can't find a book that suits your taste? The collection of books in the eldest brother's palace, I allow you to read them casually. ”

Zhu Youxiao's words have come to this point, what else can Zhu Youzhen say, he can only respectfully agree: "Obey, my eldest brother." ”

"Big brother, isn't the speed at which Dengzhou Shipyard builds treasure ships?

Even if it was built in April, it would have been almost a year since it was built, right? At this rate, if you want to get together more than 10 ships, it won't take more than 10 years? It's been a long time. Zhu Youzhen hurriedly changed the topic, and couldn't let the eldest brother hold on to him anymore.

Zhu Youxiao really followed his words and changed his mind, "Xiao Wu, you are wrong again, who said that you can only build one at a time?" ”

Pointing to the movement in his hand, Zhu Youxiao began to teach him again: "Little Wu, you can't take a closer look, why are you so careless." Yuan Keli is obviously asking for the construction of 4 treasure ships at the same time, don't you see? ”

Dizzy, Zhu Youzhen really blushed this time.

Just watched the concerto, he just took a cursory look to avoid suspicion. This unbroken sentence seems to be laborious, not to mention that he doesn't seek to understand it. Zhu Youzhen really didn't pay attention to Yuan Keli's request.

Noticing that Xiao Wu's face was really red, Zhu Youxiao did not chase after him, but calmly explained to him, "The construction of this first ship must be very slow."

It's like the recliner we made back then. The first one, we took 3 days, right? But now your workshop, how can you produce 10 and 8 in a day?

It's the same with shipbuilding.

As long as it is officially finalized, the construction speed in the future will definitely increase a lot. I estimate that as long as he is allowed to start the construction of these four ships, they will be completed by the end of the year at the most. ”

Observing that Xiao Wu seemed to understand completely, Zhu Youxiao's face suddenly became embarrassed.

"Xiao Wu, this, this shipbuilding money, the imperial court is a little tight now, and it is difficult to take it out at once. Are you, are you ......" Zhu Youzhen's voice became smaller and smaller, and the tail note was almost inaudible.

Good guys, this is specifically for money.

Zhu Youzhen really admired his cleverness, and he immediately understood the real reason why his eldest brother summoned him.

The eldest brother is so cute, and he is embarrassed to ask for money. He probably forgot that he was the majority shareholder.

"Big brother, how much does a treasure ship cost?" couldn't stand the shyness of the eldest brother, Zhu Youzhen asked bluntly.

Isn't it just paying for it? Well, we're very reasonable. Zhu Youzhen secretly praised himself.

"20,000 taels, only 20,000 taels of silver is enough for one ship." Listening to Xiao Wu's happy mouth, Zhu Youxiao said happily.

Yo, 20,000 taels of silver to build a merchant ship? So when will it be paid?

Good guys, this sea trade is really not accessible to everyone. The bar is really high enough.

Hearing the price quoted by Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youzhen was still a little taken aback even if he was mentally prepared.

The amount of 20,000 taels greatly exceeded Zhu Youzhen's estimate, and he thought that he would only need a few thousand taels of silver to build one.

"Big brother, isn't it just 4 ships? I took out the money. Zhu Youzhen stiffened his head and pretended to agree.

No way, who told him to fill his head.

"Big brother, can you lend me the one that has been built first?" In line with the fact that money cannot be spent in vain, Zhu Youzhen made a small suggestion.

"That's a sea ship, and it can't drive to the capital. Little Five, what is the use of you coming to prepare? Zhu Youxiao was very curious about Zhu Youzhen's request.
