Zhang Shiyi's boat floated on the river at the mouth of the Yangtze River for a whole day and a night, Li Xiu and Li Chengdao also chatted for a day and a night, Li Xiu also put forward some of his own views and suggestions after learning about Li Chengdao's development in the Americas, but he is not in the Americas after all, so these suggestions still need Li Chengdao to choose whether to accept them?

Waited until the evening of the next day, Li Xiu said goodbye to Li Chengdao, and then Zhang Shiyi sailed the boat to the position of picking up Li Xiu again, and the guards brought by Li Xiu were still loyal to the shore, and then he went ashore on a small boat, although it was getting late, but Li Xiu standing on the shore could still see a familiar figure standing on the bow of the boat, waving goodbye to him slowly in the dusk sunset.

Seeing the figure of Li Chengdao waving on the bow of the boat, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a sour nose, today's farewell, their master and apprentice may never see each other again, thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch the album given by Li Chengdao in his arms, and then let out a long sigh, and then rode on the horse and left the river overnight.

That night, Li Xiu returned to Suzhou overnight, but unfortunately the city gate of Suzhou was closed, and a curfew was also implemented in the city, and people outside the city could not enter at all, and Li Xiu did not want to expose his identity, so he could only live outside the city for one night, which also made him hate the curfew even more, but unfortunately the curfew was only implemented in Chang'an and Luoyang, and it was not completely released.

The next day the city gate opened, Li Xiu took people back home, he didn't go home for a few days, although they had told Princess Pingyang in advance that they were in Haiyan, but they were still a little worried, so after Li Xiu came back, they also asked him for a long time, until they found that Li Xiu was tired, and seemed to be not resting enough, so people prepared breakfast and bath water, and waited until Li Xiu took a comfortable bath after eating, and then lay down on the bed to rest, and fell asleep after a while.

In the American shipbuilding workshop outside Suzhou, Qi Niang is still as usual, obsessed with the design of new sea vessels, no matter what era, the shipbuilding industry is a comprehensive embodiment of a country's top industry, and the design of ships involves all aspects, such as the selection of cables, the treatment of wood, the skills of craftsmen, etc., all need to be considered by Qi Niang in advance.

The other ship has a huge hull and a very complex structure, such as the watertight cabin technology that Li Xiu first proposed, which has been applied to actual shipbuilding by Qi Niang, which is one of the reasons why the sea ships produced by her shipbuilding workshop are better than other sea ships.

However, the distribution and layout of watertight cabins are not a simple matter, these require complex calculations, and thanks to Qi Niang's amazing talent in arithmetic, she can design a complex sea ship very reasonably and rigorously, which is another important reason why the sea ship she designed is far better than other sea ships.

But at this moment, Qi Niang suddenly heard the hustle and bustle of the shipbuilding workshop, which made her a little curious, put down the pen in her hand at the moment, and then walked out of the room. She had been living in a shipbuilding workshop during this time, so she could see the scene in the workshop as soon as she went out, but she saw that in the shipbuilding dock, there were several ships that had been built and were preparing to be launched, so the craftsmen in the workshop were also very busy.

Seeing the few ships that were about to be launched, Qi Niang was a little strange, and it happened that at this time, an old craftsman with gray hair passed in front of her door, so Qi Niang immediately stepped forward and stopped the other party and said: "Xu Zuotou, I remember that those ships will not be completed in a few days, why did they suddenly launch today?" ”

This gray-haired Xu Zuotou is the most experienced old shipwright in the shipbuilding workshop, although he is too old to do heavy work like a young craftsman, but his experience is very valuable, usually not only can command other craftsmen to work, but also can Qi Niang design the ship when the whimsy of the idea to realize, after all, Qi Niang only knows how to design the ship, but want to build the sea ship on paper, but it is inseparable from Xu Zuotou These old shipwrights.

"You don't know, the second owner ordered some time ago, saying that there is a sea merchant who urgently needs a batch of ships, so let's hurry up and build the ship, these are our three shifts, and we worked overnight to build the ship in advance, and then launched the water to test the general, if there is no problem, you can deliver the ship!" Xu Zuotou replied with a smile at this time.

The shipbuilding workshop is jointly operated by Qi Niang and Zhang Shiyi, of which Qi Niang accounts for the majority, and the design of the sea ships in the workshop is complicated by her, so it is the big owner of the workshop, and Zhang Shiyi is the second owner, but the fleet operated by the two is reversed, after all, Zhang Shiyi is better at doing business.

"It turned out to be Brother Eleven's order, but who is the other party, why are you in such a hurry to ask for a boat?" Qi Niang nodded after hearing this, and then asked casually, she didn't really care who bought her boat, but as the big owner of the workshop, sometimes she had to make a show.

"It is said that it is a sea merchant in Quanzhou, and the other party wants a lot of ships, not only these few ships that are launched now, but even the ships that were originally to be delivered to others before the water were also stopped by the second owner, saying that it is the sea merchant who gave priority to Quanzhou, and it is estimated that the other party is not small!" Xu Zuotou spoke again.

"I see, go get busy!" Qi Niang also nodded when she heard this, Zhang Shiyi's approach is actually very common, after all, the guests are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and some important guests are naturally more worthy of befriending, so she didn't think much about it.

"Little lady, the master has come back from Haiyan!" At this moment, I suddenly saw the fat sister walking over with a smile on her face to report, and the news of Li Xiu's return had just reached here.

"Great, I have a puzzle I can't figure out to discuss with my big brother!" Qi Niang was also very happy to hear the news of Li Xiu's return, and asked the fat sister to prepare a carriage to go back, although Li Xiu didn't know how to build a ship, but he often put forward some novel ideas, such as the watertight cabin was the first to be proposed by Li Xiu.

At the same time, Li Xiu was lying on the bed in the bedroom and falling asleep, because he took a bath before going to bed, so the change of clothes was thrown everywhere, taking advantage of the opportunity for him to fall asleep, Yi Niang quietly entered the room, ready to take out the clothes that Li Xiu had changed and let people wash them, originally these things were done by Yuechan before, but now Yuechan's body is bulky, and Li Xiu is reluctant to let her be too tired, so the usual care of Li Xiu's diet and daily life is temporarily taken care of by clothes.

"What is this?" But just when Yi Niang was packing up Li Xiu's clothes, there was suddenly a book or something like that fell out, she looked at the pictures inside, she didn't care about it, she put it on the table next to her, and then took the clothes and gently retreated.
