In order to solve the material shortage on Zhoushan Island, and for future development, not long after coming to Hangzhou, Chen Yue ordered to open a business in Hangzhou, called "Qiyun Commercial Bank", and Lin Fucheng served as the chief treasurer.

Lin Fu's cost is a Jin merchant, but not like the Fan family and the Manchu Tartar business to do traitorous things, Chongzhen seven years of Mantar invasion and looting Shanxi, the Lin family was slaughtered, fifteen or sixteen years old he was plundered to the outside of the pass as a slave, in the Mantar there is four years but never forget the enmity of the family and the country, Chongzhen eleven years, the Mantar broke through the pass again, Lin Fucheng as a white-armored soldier clothed servant followed into the pass, but in a battle pretended to die, in order to break away from the Mantar queue to escape to the Ming Dynasty, wandering in the Gyeonggi area, Then he joined the Xishan Army at that time.

Born in a businessman, he has been trained in business since he was a child, and Lin Fucheng is qualified for the position of shopkeeper.

After Chen Yue wrote down the purchase list, Lin Fucheng quickly completed the purchase of all the items according to the list and personally sent them to the riverside grassland. The prosperity of Hangzhou is also above Nanjing, and all kinds of items are readily available, which is very convenient to buy.

After purchasing all kinds of materials, Chen Yue began to make ship models, sawing, planing, and nailing, and the sound of clanging came from the grass house all day long, like a carpenter's workshop. In those days, there were no automatic tools, and even smooth planks of the right size could not be bought off-the-shelf, so they had to be made and processed on site.

However, there are many carpenters in the Ordnance Division, and two young carpenters in their twenties were sent to the grass house to help Chen Yue work, and the skills of being carpenters in the Ordnance Division are naturally good, and these two carpenters are from the Qingjiang Shipyard and have skilled shipbuilding experience. After Chen Yue said his requirements, the specific work was all done by them. Chen Yue doesn't need to do things like parts processing.

With the help of someone, the work was done quickly, and in less than ten days, all the parts needed for the Galen ship model were ready. The next thing can only be done by Chen Yue himself, but Chen Yue did not let the two carpenters go, but let them stand next to them to see how they make ship models, Chen Yue plans to train some qualified shipbuilders, after all, the number of ships will increase in the future, and Zhoushan must open its own shipyard. Although the ship model is not an actual sailboat, it is also made according to the scale, and with the experience of making the ship model, a qualified shipwright will naturally build a sailboat from it.

Not far away from the Qiantang River crashing on the shore, the grass house under the Jade Emperor Mountain is exceptionally clean, close to the mountain and the river, far away from Hangzhou City, there is basically no one to disturb here, and there are not too many mundane things to worry about during the filial piety period, Chen Yue seems to have returned to the snail dwelling in the previous life, and entered the state of selfless work, which was unimaginable in the past.

......

Wang Yin finally arrived in Hangzhou to take office, and after handing over government affairs with Zhang Bingzhen, the former governor of Zhejiang, and after dealing with the banquets of the gentry and officials in the city, he came to meet Chen Yue.

"Qi Guogong is really idle!" Looking at the wooden planks stacked inside and outside the cottage, scattered with wood chips, and then looking at the model of the sailboat that was about to take shape on the table, Wang Yin's face showed surprise.

"I have nothing to do, and I don't want to study, I watched the boats on the Qiantang River come and go, so I tried to make a sea boat by myself, the specific sea boat is too big and has too many consumables, so I can only make such a model."

Chen Yue explained a few words with a smile, washed his hands and face in the basin, and invited Wang Yin to sit in the living room next door and make tea for Wang Yin himself.

"Just a few days to Hangzhou, there are a lot of local squires to visit, a squire surnamed Shen sent some tea, it is said to be the real West Lake Ming Qian Longjing, produced from the top of Shifeng Mountain by the West Lake, a total of 18 tea trees, it is said that only ten catties of tea are produced every year.

The water is the spring water on the Jade Emperor Mountain, and the water quality is not bad, so Hengshan Gong might as well try it. ”

The peat stove was red, the water in the copper kettle was boiling, and Chen Yue took matters into his own hands to brew a cup of tea for Wang Yin. Wang Yin looked down, and saw that the tea was emerald green, the soup was tender and green, smelled the aroma, and took a small sip gently, the hot tea turned around twice in the mouth, and suddenly felt that the taste was mellow and refreshing.

"Good tea, worthy of the first-class West Lake Longjing!" Wang Yin pointed his finger and praised.

Chen Yue knew very little about the tea ceremony, and he couldn't compare it with a scholar like Wang Yin, so after a few small talks, he decisively changed the topic.

"Hengshan Gong is now the highest governor of Hangzhou, and this Duke has been here for three years, and he needs more care from Hengshan Gong in the future." Chen Yue said with a smile.

"Duke Qi is going to laugh," Wang Yin shook his head and asked, "I don't know what Duke Qi plans to do in the future, what do you need me to do?" ”

Wang Yin came from the Xishan Army, and he had already been deeply branded by the Duke of Qi, coupled with the fact that he regarded Chen Yue as the hope of the future of the Ming Dynasty, although he did not swear allegiance to Chen Yue like Qian Fenglin Shan Minglei, he had long been a family member who had both glory and loss. However, Chen Yue did not tell Wang Yin about his plans to go overseas, after all, Wang Yin still has an official position in the imperial court, and Chen Yue is also afraid that things will leak out.

Understanding Chen Yue's character, I don't believe that Chen Yue will be willing to be lonely and honest and keep filial piety for three years and do nothing, otherwise he would not have tried to find himself to come to Hangzhou as the governor of Zhejiang, Wang Yin asked this question, he wanted to know Chen Yue's next step.

Chen Yue did not answer directly, but pushed away the teacup and stood up, motioning for Wang Yin to come with him.

Not far from the grass house is the Qiantang River, standing on a rock, watching the mighty river rolling eastward, the sails of the boats in the heart of the river are like clouds, and there are many ships sailing to and fro.

"Does Yokoyama know how wide the river is here?" Chen Yue asked.

Wang Yin looked at the river under his feet, but saw that the river was sparkling and the mountains and forests on the opposite bank were blurred, so he hesitated: "I'm afraid it's not four or five miles wide." ”

Chen Yue nodded: "The width here is about four miles, the further east the width is, the wider it is, the width to Haining is more than ten miles, and the width to Haiyan County is as much as two hundred miles, which is Hangzhou Bay." However, the magnificent Hangzhou Bay is nothing, from Hangzhou to the east, across the Ryukyu country, is the vast ocean, its area is enough to hold more than ten Ming, across the vast ocean to the east 40,000 li, there is a continent called the Americas, its area is enough to be as big as four Ming.

Although I think that the Ming Dynasty is the upper country of the Heavenly Empire, it is only a corner of the world, and there are countless lands and countless countries and nations outside the Ming Dynasty, and now the whole world is entering the age of great exploration, and the Xiyi people have crossed the vast ocean to reach the Americas, where they are enclosing the land and plundering wealth. And the Xiyi Dutch and the Francois crossed the vast ocean to the Ming Dynasty, in a vain attempt to get involved in the land of our Ming Dynasty.

Now we are in the era of unprecedented changes in the world, but no one in my Ming can open their eyes to see the world, if they are allowed to develop, maybe not a hundred years later, my Ming will lag behind the Western world.
