"How about it, Brother Luo, don't go to see any lanterns at night, deign to go to our Tan family's boat, and send another engagement to the younger brother?" Hong Tao is not afraid of the identity of the Luo family, the Tan family has become like this, what else is there to give up? What else is worth calculating? It's a big deal to drive a boat to mix elsewhere, as long as there is a place with the sea, can a Qiongzhou criminal officer still chase him to Guangzhou, Quanzhou? It's really not possible to go to Southeast Asian island countries to mix, as long as you are there, you will be a rebellious existence wherever you go, at least you won't starve to death.

"It's natural, but I have to go back and change my clothes for my brother, so it's too unseemly. Don't pass it for now, when the time comes, I will ask Brother Hong to send someone to the dock to meet him, and now I have to ask Brother Hong to borrow a boat so that Brother Wei can go back. Luo Youde was very happy this time, he didn't hit at all, but he vomited too hard just now, and he couldn't squeeze a smile on his face anyway.

"Hahaha...... The gambling game is just fun, Brother Luo doesn't have to take it seriously, even if I don't bet, I still want to take Brother Luo to try the new ship. It's useless for me to ask for such a good boat, I can't fish and no one can help me pedal the boat, so let's put it in Brother Luo's place, how about I give Brother Luo a thank you gift? Thank you Brother Luo for taking care of my family these days! Don't shirk! Only then did Hong Tao remember that the car and boat had already belonged to him, and the boatmen on it had gone ashore, but it was really useless to ask for this car and boat, so it was better to push the boat back to Luo Youde, so that everyone would look good on face!

"Brother Hong is high-minded, but I can't stand it for my brother, Brother Hong doesn't know much about the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, if you give me the boat again, then I Luo Youde won't be able to show up in Zhenzhou again. Since Brother Hong doesn't like this ship, it doesn't matter, I will pay for it and return it with the congratulatory gift, and please Brother Hong not to kill it all! Luo Youde didn't get off the donkey down the slope, saying that he was afraid that the reputation of losing the gambling and not admitting the account would spread and he couldn't be a man, so he proposed another solution.

"Then there is Brother Lawr, and the younger brother will wait for Brother Luo at the dock!" Hong Tao almost stretched out his hand to shake hands with Luo Youde, but his right hand had already stretched out, and he hurriedly followed his left hand out, and hugged his fist like a Song person.

"Wrong, left hand out, like this!" Luo Youde is also very interesting, you know that if you are wrong, it will be over, and he reminded him loudly, and when Hong Tao changed his posture, he and Luo Dacai helped each other to get on the car and boat and roll away.

"Yes, everyone is gone, Azhu, don't keep your head down and pretend to be shy, you will be my daughter-in-law at night. Come, help me unload the sails, my ship has been broken by me, and it needs to be repaired before I can give it to you. You talk to Wember, the bow of the ship is cracked, see if he has a good way! After a few words, the bunch of people on the beach were scattered, leaving only Azhu and the Wen family. Hong Tao patted Bo Zhu's head, a big girl is weak enough to get mixed with this part, as soon as she heard that someone was married, her grandfather was busy and threw her away.

"Ahh Broken! I'll look for them! Ah Zhu was immersed in the joy of being engaged to Hong Tao, but as soon as he heard that the ship was broken, he immediately forgot what joy he had, crossed his hands on his waist, opened his throat and rushed towards the Wen family. I couldn't understand a word of what Hong Tao shouted, the speed of speech was too fast, it wouldn't be a good word anyway, Wen Lao Er was also anxious, beckoning a few sons to run into the cabin, in the end I want to see how the bow of the ship can crack, isn't this a sign to smash the Wen family!

It turned out that Karl didn't tell a lie, Hong Tao didn't talk nonsense, Bozhu didn't get angry, the shell of the bow did crack, the sea water was slowly seeping in, and there was no foot surface in the bilge. Wen Lao Er had nothing to say this time, so he asked his sons to pull the boat onto the beach again with wooden rails and a winch, and supported it with scaffolding, looking at the outer plank of the bow with two mortise and tenon structures that had been disconnected. He couldn't understand how these planks could suddenly break if they weren't hurt or cracked.

"Winber, I don't blame you, it's me who drove the boat too fast, and this structure can't stand the waves. It's okay, I'll be fine if I drive slower in the future, but I'll have to bother you to get two new boards. In addition, I suggest that you find a copper plate, knock it thin, put it on the bow of the boat, and fix it with an iron bolt through the ribs, so that the seawater will not directly impact these seams in the future, and it will work somewhat. Hong Tao knew in his heart that the materials of this era could not withstand too strong impact, and there was no need to slander this old man, his family's craftsmanship was really good, and he would have to rely on him to build a ship for himself in the future. As for how to deal with it, Hong Tao has no good way, he can only make do, after wrapping the bow of the ship with a copper plate, it can be used somewhat, at least the board will not be washed away by the waves again. But if you still run at high speed, you can't do the same, a head wave is not handled well, the planks are not cracked, and the ribs have to be broken.

"Copper plate...... Officials are not allowed to use copper ...... privately" Hong Tao's simple method has become a problem in the Song Dynasty, copper in the Great Song Dynasty is a government control substance, that thing is to make copper coins, if everyone has it, the Great Song Dynasty economy will be finished, and the family will not make their own copper coins.

"That's right...... Then change to a new board, don't make a copper plate. Wember, I'd like to get down to business with you. I set up a cooperative with the Bo family, the Huang family, the Chen family, the Weng family, and the Bu family, and we fished, sold, and shipwed, and then everyone divided according to the number of shares. Our Tan family can't win the sea alone, and we always have to live a hard life, and only by uniting together can we be powerful. In the future, I will build clippers like this, bigger and stronger, and if you can join our cooperative, you can use shipbuilding technology to take a stake. In the future, regardless of whether your family builds a ship or not, there will be dividends, as long as the people in the cooperative catch fish and sell money, they will give your family a share. I also want to organize the Tan family to run the maritime business, with this kind of ship, our Tan family is a good hand at sea, why can't we make more money? Hong Tao was not in a hurry to deal with the repair of this ship, this was just an experiment for him, fast or fast, but it had no practical value. His ultimate goal was to find a suitable type of sailing ship for the era, and then to begin his voyage plans. Relying on fishing alone, there is no problem with food and clothing, but it is too difficult to get rich.

"Can you teach my grandson your clipper? My son and I promise not to learn! Wen Lao Er listened to Bo Zhu translate Hong Tao's words, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and put forward a request that Hong Tao did not expect, this kind of idea is simply too simple, just to leave a way for children and grandchildren to live.
