Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Descendants of Luban

Yuan Yun now felt that his mouth was a little wide, the main reason was that he was so surprised, because the old man in front of him was covered with tendons and flesh, and his inverted triangular figure was wrapped in a layer of deep bronze.

The old man was half-naked, but his face was white, especially his eyebrows, which had grown enough to hang down, and the wrinkles on his face represented his old age.

"Your Excellency is a descendant of public defeat?" Yuan Yun couldn't take care of it anymore, and first asked the confusion in his heart.

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, and replied a little stiffly: "The old family is the descendants of Luban as the world says, I don't know what Yuan Hou has to teach?" ”

The temper is quite big, Yuan Yun thought to himself, and then smiled and continued: "I know the old man's surname, but I don't know the name yet, I don't know if I can tell me?" ”

The old man squinted his eyes and glanced at Yuan Yun again, and he was already a little confused in his heart, because the Hou Ye in front of him was not too easy to speak? I didn't suppress my anger today, so I deliberately let this Yuan Hou wait until almost evening, and now I feel a little ashamed to see that the other party is still so gentle.

Arching his hand slightly, the old man replied: "The old man is in peace, and he is already sixty and seven this year. ”

When reporting his name, he didn't forget to say the age together, it seems that this public loss is afraid that he will retaliate against him, so he said in disguise that he is sixty-seven, so that he should not care about this marquis.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun continued to smile and said: "I heard that the Gong Loser has been the best carpenter for generations, but I didn't expect you to build ships, but Ben Hou is lonely." ”

Gong Yi An explained: "The world is in chaos, the public loser is just for the children and grandchildren to be able to eat, so they voted for the Wang family, and shipbuilding is inseparable from carpenters, so naturally our family is good at, Yuan Hou If you don't believe it, even if you go to the shipyard to walk around, now the big ships here are basically out of our hands." ”

Where would Yuan Yun not believe it, Lu Ban's descendants, if they didn't have this ability, then their ancestors would probably jump out of the grave, ancient China is not like later generations, they are extremely interested in the inheritance of family technology, so Gong Yi'an in front of him is definitely a powerful craftsman.

Yuan Yun was instantly ecstatic in his heart, with Lu Ban's descendants as the superintendent of the shipyard, he would definitely be able to save a lot of worry in the future, and now this rotatable artillery base was just handed over to this person to make it, and it would be foolproof.

Yuan Yun was about to speak after thinking about it, but he saw that Gong Yi'an's whole person was lying on the square table, his eyes staring at the drawing he had just drawn for a moment, although it was only a rough draft, but just looking at Gong Yi'an's expression, he had already guessed that he understood the key.

Gong Zhuan suddenly muttered and asked: "How does Yuan Hou deal with these joints that are responsible for rotation, if you only rely on oil to lubricate, I'm afraid it will definitely be very laborious to rotate." ”

Yuan Yun didn't speak, beckoned Shi Shen to get closer, and then turned out a pulley from the package he was carrying, this thing was made very rough by Ma Jun and Pu Yuan due to technical limitations, but it was still a revolutionary design for this era.

Gong Yi'an quickly took it, and then slid it in his hand a few times, and instantly seemed to be fascinated, his eyes kept staring at the rotating roller and couldn't take it off.

After a long time, Gong Yi'an finally sighed deeply, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The old man has never looked down on other craftsmen, and always thinks that the best craftsman in the world will inevitably come out of my father-in-law's loser. ”

After a slight pause, Gong Yi'an suddenly bowed to Yuan Yun and continued: "Yuan Hou is really a good skill, not only is he in a high position at such a young age, but he can also design such a superb construction, the old man is willing to bow down, he offended Yuan Hou a lot just now, and the old man has made amends to you here." ”

Seeing such a performance, Uncle Wang, who was standing on the side, felt very surprised, this old man has always been the most difficult guy in the shipyard, if it weren't for the fact that the technology in his hands is really exquisite, and the family behind him is a first-class craftsman family, it is estimated that he would have been sent away long ago.

"This old fellow has always been very arrogant, and it is strange that he was impressed by a wheel that turns." Uncle Wang whispered in Diao Chan's ear.

Diao Chan is not surprised at all, she has always felt that her junior brother is omnipotent, what is it to convince a public loser, if it is really compared to the skills of a craftsman, as long as you look at the drawings drawn by Yuan Yun, it can be seen, in this world, can anyone still draw such fine drawings? Not to mention that the warships of the Wang family are now invincible on the sea, which is enough to prove the greatness of Yuan Yun's design.

When Diao Chan was proud of his junior brother on the side, Yuan Yun didn't think so at all, he knew very well what he could and couldn't do, and said that drawing drawings, then naturally there was no problem, this is what he studied in college, and he didn't draw less at the beginning of his work, so he was familiar with it, but when it came to making it by himself, I am afraid that ten Yuan Yun can't be worth one Gongyi.

Diao Chan watched Yuan Yun and Gong An constantly pointing to the drawings and discussing there, and she looked out the window, at this moment the sky was gradually darkening, and the golden light shone on the sea level in the distance, which was extremely dazzling.

"Uncle Wang, go prepare some meals, it seems that Yuan Hou can't go back tonight, and let the guards also close the perimeter of the shipyard, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."

After Diao Chan finished explaining to Uncle Wang, she walked to Yuan Yun's side, although she couldn't understand what they were saying, but she was stubborn that she must exist in this position.

Gong Yi'an suddenly saw the head of the family come to Yuan Yun's side, and only symbolically bowed his hand, and then began to think deeply about some of the structures on the drawings.

Yuan Yun saw Diao Chan coming to his side, smiled lightly, and even gave up some positions so that Diao Chan could stand more comfortably, and in an instant, his attention was also focused on the drawings.

A group of people have been discussing in the house, when Uncle Wang brought dinner, they still had no intention of stopping, Diao Chan was already sitting on the side at the moment, specially arranging various meals for Yuan Yun, but in the end, she didn't eat a few bites herself.

When the sun rose on the morning of the second day, Yuan Yun finally felt a little sleepy, but the public loser opposite him was in good spirits, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all because of his age, and several of the children of the public loser around him were even more excited, because of the night's hard work, they had mastered a very remarkable knowledge, bearing.

Yuan Yun now felt that what should be explained had been almost explained, so he was about to go home, and the moment he turned around, Cai found that Diao Chan was covered with a thin blanket, just leaning in a chair, and the warm yellow sun of the early morning shone on her face, just like a fairy descending to earth.

Suddenly, Diao Chan's eyelashes moved, and in an instant she opened her eyes, and when she saw Yuan Yun in front of her, she thought she was dreaming, and immediately gave a sweet smile.

This time Yuan Yun was seriously injured, and he retreated to the side in three or two steps, and then he arched his hand and said: "Senior sister, the sky is already bright, and you have to accompany us all night." ”

Diao Chan was slightly stunned, and found that it was not a dream, so he was immediately a little embarrassed, struggled to sit up straight, and then said with a little blush: "I don't know if Brother Yun has anything else to discuss, don't worry about me, you just continue, I will accompany you on the side." ”

Yuan Yun lightly pointed to the square table where Gong Yi'an and a few people were still around, and then said with a smile: "Then it's up to them, there are not too many things for us, now don't go back to the palace first, after a little rest, I will come over tomorrow." ”

Diao Chan nodded and said, "It's okay, Brother Yun really needs to take a rest, this night has not returned, Wen Ji and the others are also thinking about it, it is better to go back earlier." ”

Not long after, Yuan Yun and Diao Chan got on the frame, but they were not in a hurry to return, but at Yuan Yun's suggestion, they circled around the huge shipyard.

After all, hundreds of people build a ship, division of labor, operation, and then to the details of the arrangement, everything must be carefully calculated, which can also be seen that the Wang family still has a lot of powerful talents.

"This time, it seems that not only the artillery, but also some boom machines must be sent over, and some huge parts are too slow to rely on manpower alone." Yuan Yun finished speaking with a smile, but his eyes never left the window.

Diao Chan looked out along Yuan Yun's eyes, just in time to see that the sun had been fully exposed, and then projected a large piece of gold on the sea level, which was still shining with the waves, making people dizzying.

"I heard Wen Ji say that now that the imperial court has handed over the restructuring to Brother Yun, maybe I can help with this matter." Diao Chan suddenly spoke.

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "Senior sister is far away in Beihai, how can you help me?" ”

Diao Chan smiled and said: "Back then, Luoyang was attacked by Li Dao, which caused the Wang family to be wiped out, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the Wang family still had a lot of relationships in the imperial court. ”

Yuan Yun immediately smiled, and then continued: "If I had known about Senior Sister earlier, I wouldn't have run away back then, and in the end I could only hide in Senior Sister's house and pretend to be an account office." ”

Diao Chan heard Yuan Yun say this, but suddenly shook his head and said, "At the beginning, my senior sister didn't have any good intentions, at that time, the Wang clan was expanding the waterway, and naturally encountered a lot of trouble, so at that time, we just wanted to get gunpowder from Brother Yun." ”

Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively, and then smiled: "No matter what, Senior Sister is also Master's disciple after all, so for me, Senior Sister is family, since they are family, they need to support each other, as for the past, don't mention it." ”

Diao Chan nodded happily and continued: "I have two cousins who are also serving in the court now, one is Wang Chen and the other is Wang Ling, no one knows that they are still in contact with us, so if Brother Yun can use it, you can go to them." ”

Yuan Yun's eyes rolled, and he said with great joy: "I'm worried that I don't know how to arrange people, some things still need to be done by secret people, since these two people are here, they can be placed in important positions, senior sister has helped me a lot." ”

Diao Chan was very happy with Yuan Yun's reaction, so he continued: "What is this restructuring for? According to the control of military power, Cao Sikong can already take care of all of them, and is it a bit redundant to restructure? ”

Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Cao Sikong wants to be the prime minister, so there is no need for the three princes like Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong to exist." ”

Diao Chan was taken aback and said: "Since Emperor Mourning, there has been no prime minister for more than 200 years, and now it is going to be set up again, there must be a lot of people who oppose it, because this prime minister has too much power, and it is bound to make many people lose their authority, Brother Yun, you must remember to be careful, this is definitely not a trivial matter, those officials who are forced to do everything can do anything, He Jin was because of the seizure of power, which led to Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and now those old officials in the court are no better, they will inevitably kill you, you must be careful to deal with it." ”

Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders again, and then said with a hearty smile: "If I can't really fight those old officials, I will bring a family of old people to come to Senior Sister, and we will sail overseas when the time comes, and see who can help us, haha." ”

Diao Chan heard Yuan Yun say this, her face turned red again in an instant, and her heart was inexplicably throbbing, this kind of emotion had not happened for too long, and at this moment it actually made her feel a little intoxicated.

When the sun climbed into the air, Yuan Yun had already returned to the palace courtyard, and he was going to see Cai Wenji, but at this time, he saw two generals in charge of carrier pigeons coming over.

Looking at the carrier pigeon in the general's hand, Yuan Yun untied the letter with his own hands, opened it and took a look, and immediately smiled at the corner of his mouth.

On it is invincible handwriting, and only one line is written: Cao Ren's grain storage office has been investigated.
