Chapter 374: Cao Yongxian

Na Zhe and Cui Dao recounted the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After boarding the carriage and getting into the carriage, Na Zhe hurriedly took off his coat, picked up a fan, and fanned the wind vigorously.

"Old Seven, what is the origin of that old man? He's too scary, isn't he? It's like a tiger in a zoo. ”

Cui Daoshu replied: "Third brother, this old man turned out to be Qian Hongyi's father's bodyguard, named Lu Bin. Qian Hongyi was brought up by him since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is very deep. This old man usually lives in a secluded place, and outsiders don't know about his existence. But he has a huge influence on Qian Hongyi, and if we can get his support, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

Na Zhe asked, "Old Seven, what does this old man like?" Is it money? Beauty? Or gambling? How can we get the right medicine? ”

Cui Daoshu shook his head and said, "Third brother, you are talking nonsense again." Lu Bin is a lot old, he has no children or daughters, and the only thing he cares about is Qian Hongyi. As long as what we do is beneficial to Qian Hongyi, he will not object. ”

Na Zhe asked again: "Old Seven, do you think Qian Hongyi can agree?" ”

Cui Daoshu smiled: "Qian Hongyi is already tempted, but this matter is definitely a big deal for him, and he will definitely think about it carefully." Let's just wait patiently. ”

The two talked and laughed all the way, and soon returned to the Cui family's mansion.

Cui Daoshu wrote a letter and asked the guards to send it to Qishan Island with carrier pigeons. The guards went out to take care of the matter.

Na Zhe asked, "Seventh, what did you write in the letter?" ”

"I asked the boss to send someone to send four cephalosporins to save Qian Hongyi's life. If his lung disease is cured by us, will he be embarrassed not to let us sell salt? ”

Na Zhe gave a thumbs up: "High, really high!" It seems that you are almost taller than Yao Ming. ”

Cui Daoshu snorted: "Third brother, let's go to Mingzhou Shipyard tomorrow and place an order for more than a dozen warships." ”

Na Zhe jumped so high that he said excitedly: "Old Seven, it seems that we will have a big move next year!" Do we have so much money to order so many warships at once? ”

Cui Daoshu said: "You don't have to worry about money, we don't pay the full amount at once." With my Cui Daoshu's credibility, as long as you pay a small deposit first, Mingzhou Shipyard will build a ship for us. When it's time to pick up the goods, you can pay the balance off. And they don't have the ability to build a dozen ships at once. ”

Na Zhe nodded: "That's right, we will vigorously develop Taiwan next year, and we can't do it without warships." You're tired today, so rest early, and we'll be going to the shipyard tomorrow morning. ”

---------------------- ------------------------ -------------------

After a night of silence, the next morning, the two brothers washed up, and after breakfast, they drove to the Mingzhou shipyard.

When he arrived at the Mingzhou Shipyard, Na Zhe looked around like a curious baby and learned about the shipbuilding technology of this era.

The two wandered around for more than two hours before ending the tour and going to find the owner of the shipyard.

The owner of the shipyard was a weathered old man, with a dark face, gray hair, and very modest dress.

He said with a smile: "Cui Gongzi is here, is he going to take care of Xiao Lao'er's business?" ”

Cui Daoshu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the old man.

"This is a withdrawal voucher, which can withdraw 20,000 yuan of silver in my Cui family's shop. I will place an order for fourteen more ships next year, and I will add more if necessary. ”

The old man asked movingly: "Young Master Cui, do you want to rebel when you build so many warships?" ”

Cui Daoshu shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry, I don't have much interest in Wu Yueguo. Our Cui family is mainly engaged in overseas business. To the north is to Liao, Korea, Japan, and to the south, to the Nanyang countries. If it weren't for the escort of warships, our fleet would have been packed up by pirates long ago. You can make your own money, and you don't have to worry about other things. ”

The old man nodded again and again: "What Cui Gongzi said is very true, the old man is a little too talkative." How can a beautiful boy like you rebel? Lao Yu immediately prepare the materials, find more people, and strive to complete your order as soon as possible. ”

Na Zhe asked, "How long do you live old?" Honorable name, huh? ”

The old man smiled and said, "The old man's surname is Xu, and the big name is Xu Ping." Everyone else calls me Xu Haigou, who is sixty-seven years old this year. The old decay will not do anything else, and it will take a lifetime to build a ship. ”

Na Zhe arched his hand and said, "The warship built by your old man is very strong and durable, and it is extremely fast, and our brothers are very satisfied. However, I see that the scale of your shipyard is still a bit small, I don't know if you have any ideas to expand the scale of the shipyard? ”

The old man raised his eyebrows: "What do you suggest?" The old man listened. ”

Na Zhe said: "Our brother has found a huge island in the southern sea, and has occupied it. The island is huge, estimated to be half the size of the Wuyue Kingdom. If you move some of the shipyard personnel and facilities, we will provide you with a large number of people, and then you will make a lot of money! ”

The old man obviously didn't believe it: "This gentleman, you're not entertaining the old man, are you?" It's still half the size of Wu Yueguo's island, aren't you talking in your dreams? ”

Na Zhe stood up and said excitedly: "Old Seven, let's go." It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs! People don't appreciate it. ”

Cui Daoshu also stood up, glanced at Xu Haigou, and followed Na Zhe out.

Xu Haigou felt a little speechless, so he hurriedly stopped the two of them and made amends one by one.

"The two sons, it was the little old man who said the wrong thing. You adults have a lot of them, so don't care about the old crazy talk, right? Shall we sit down and talk? ”

Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu glanced at each other, so they had to come back and sit down.

Cui Daoshu opened his mouth and said: "Old Xu, my third brother is not a mouthful, we do occupy a huge island. Now we have a very high demand for ships, and if you can open a new shipyard there, we will give people and money to pay, and we will also provide you with timber for shipbuilding. If you are not interested, we will go to Wenzhou, Fuzhou and other places to find partners. The world is so big, will we still not find someone who can build a ship? ”

Xu Haigou was a little tempted, and he hurriedly said, "Two sons, please let the old man think about it, okay?" After all, it's a big deal. In three days, I will definitely give you an answer. ”

Cui Daoshu nodded: "No problem, after you think about it, let's talk about it." After three days, you can go to Cui's house to find us. ”

Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu floated away, leaving Xu Haigou standing in place, thinking about something in a daze.

The two brothers returned to the Cui family's mansion and went to rest without mentioning it.

In the evening, the servants of the Cui family came to report that someone had come from Qishan Island and wanted to meet Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu.

The two brothers, who were eating, put down their dishes and chopsticks and asked the servants to bring them in.

After a while, the door opened, and Cao Yongxian Shi Ran walked into the room.

Na Zhe exclaimed, "Xiao Cao, why are you here?" Who asked you to come? ”

Cao Yongxian bowed his hand: "Two brothers, Mr. Zhao asked me to come." Everyone else was very busy, and I was relatively idle on the whole island, so Mr. Zhao sent me. ”

Cui Daoshu asked, "Aren't you supervising the construction of the academy?" How do you have the time to come out? ”

Cao Yongxian sat down, picked up Nazhe's teacup, and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Oh, I'm dying of thirst. To tell you the truth, the academy is now almost finished. My other classmates, as well as a hundred or so new scholars, are all working hard, and there is no shortage of me. ”

Cui Daoshu joked with a smile: "It turns out that your kid came out to be lazy!" If your father knows, he will have to skin you! ”

Cao Yongxian smiled: "It's okay, my mother lives on the island now, and my father doesn't dare to do anything to me." ”

Na Zhe patted Cao Yongxian's shoulder: "You kid turned out to be a fox and a fake tiger!" With your mother supporting you, Lao Cao doesn't dare to clean you up. ”

Cao Yongxian took out a small package from his arms and put it on the table.

"This thing was brought to me by Mr. Zhao, what are you brothers doing? Such a mysterious? What kind of strange thing is inside? ”

Na Zhe pouted and said, "Adult's business, why do you ask so much as a child?" Let's go pee and play with the mud. ”

Cao Yongxian thought for a moment before he understood what Zhe meant. He was used to joking with Na Zhe, and he wasn't angry.

"Tell me, sir, what's in there. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well at night. It's not good for me to touch your bed in a trance, be careful that your chrysanthemums are not guaranteed! ”

Na Zhe felt a chill and immediately jumped behind Cui Daoshu.

"You kid looks sven, it turns out that he's still a! No wonder you five big men live in one room. You must have some secret secrets, right? ”

Cao Yongxian grimaced at Na Zhe: "That sir, you still recruit it." Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't help it at night and will climb into your bed. Hahaha! ”

Cao Yongxian smiled sinisterly, Na Zhe immediately lost his arrogance, and raised his hands in frustration: "Okay, count you ruthless!" Lao Tzu surrendered, and he will tell you right away. ”

Cui Daoshu opened the satin package and saw that it was a delicate lacquer box. He opened the box and found four wax pills inside.

Na Zhe said curiously: "Who did this?" Why are you wrapped in wax pills? ”

Cui Daoshu nodded: "It seems that the boss has a heart, most of the medicines in this era are sealed with wax." Packaged like this, Qian Hongyi will definitely not be wary. ”

Cao Yongxian asked, "Is this medicine?" Who is it for? Could it be Mingzhou Thorn Shi Qian Hongyi? ”

Cui Daoshu said: "Yes, it's for Qian Hongyi to eat." This medicine could save his life. ”

"Ahh Cao Yongxian exclaimed, "Is it so magical?" That's just four pills in total? What disease did Qian Hongyi have? Will these pills save him? ”

Na Zhe said: "He has lung disease, and these medicines will definitely cure him." ”
