"Young Master Shen, this ship is the largest sea ship we can come up with, it looks a little dilapidated on the outside, but if you fix it, there is no problem going to sea!" The steward of the Zhang Mansion didn't care about the change in Shen Yue's expression, and explained with a smile on his face.

"Is 3,000 acres of land in exchange for such a broken ship? Can you go to sea? Why don't you Zhang family take this boat to sea? The sails on the mast are in tatters, and many places on the hull are rotten! Shen Qi immediately jumped up.

The ship in front of them, no matter how much they don't understand the boat, knows that they have been trapped.

The sails of the 2,000 ship, which cost more than 20,000 taels, were full of holes in the mast, and the mast would break as if the wind blew, and what was more, there were signs of decay and decay in many places on both sides of the ship.

Shen Qi stepped forward, walked from the board between the boat and the dock to the deck, and with a light pull of his hand on the side of the ship, a piece of wood was broken off by him!

It's hard, thick wood!

The Zhang family obviously did not do a good job in this matter.

"If Young Master Shen is not satisfied with this ship, we can only replace it with three new ships with four hundred materials." The steward of the Zhang family was obviously prepared, "I suggest you don't need to replace it, this ship looks dilapidated on the outside, and the internal keel and main frame have not been affected......"

"This is what the second master of the Zhang family means?" Shen Yue suppressed his anger, such a ship, let alone the ocean, will have problems when it encounters slightly larger winds and waves when sailing in the offshore sea.

A storm can sink the ship.

Rao was prepared in his heart, and he didn't expect that the people of the Zhang family would be so shameless.

"Young Master Shen, the Zhang family is not a maritime family, the reason why I gave you the ship is also at your request, the second master has tried his best to buy the ship for 16,000 taels of silver, plus the cannon on it, the value of the whole ship exceeds 26,000 taels, if it is not for your urgency, the master is worried that it will delay your time to go to sea, and he will find a shipyard to renovate and deliver it to you!" The steward of the Zhang Mansion still had a smile on his face.

Feelings: Shen Yue took advantage of the Zhang family.

Shen Yuetie's face was blue, knowing that the other party had cheated him, and he couldn't even resist.

Shen Jiu was also so angry that his face turned pale, when Shen Yue and Shen Qi got on the boat to see the internal structure, he secretly ran towards the house, and someone had to stop him, the Shen family's 3,000 acres of land could not be exchanged for such a broken ship.

This wrecked ship could not sail at all, except for the appearance of a ship.

The young master is the only hope for the entire Shen Mansion, where can the Shen Mansion have a chance on such a ship.

Shen Yue got on the boat, a lot of wood on the deck had rotted, and many places were rotten, revealing large and small holes, and he had to walk carefully to avoid being stuck in the holes, and his face was even more ugly.

Most of the superstructures, such as the deck and the ship's building, are rotten.

On the deck of the pit bag, a few cannons are not small, definitely not only the six hundred catties that Shen Yue wanted, but at least one thousand two hundred catties, but the cannon body and muzzle are already covered with rust.

Quantity twelve!

Whether it can be fired, or whether the cannon will not explode, Shen Yue can't guarantee it.

The inside of the ship is okay, Rao has not been used for many years, lacks repair and maintenance, and it is completely different from the outside, knocking on the cabin wood, the sound is dull and crisp, but there is no sense of emptiness and powerlessness of rotten wood.

The internal situation was much better than the outside, which made Shen Yue feel a lot better.

Shen Yue tapped the plank on the bottom of the boat with his hand, and the solid feeling and dull sound made him even more happy.

As long as the main structure of the sea vessel is fine, it meets his requirements.

The upper deck and the shipbuilding are made of ordinary wood, and it is normal for them to experience wind and rain and lack of maintenance and decay, not to mention the high corrosiveness of sea navigation.

"Young Master Shen, the ship is already here, I don't know ...... title deed" After Shen Yue finished reading the ship, the Zhang family steward began to urge him to give him the Shen family's 3,000 mu land deed.

The two sides agreed before that they would hand over the ship with one hand and the title deed with the other.

The magistrate of Dinghai County, the Yamen master, personally did it, the thin old man's eyes were on the top of his head, and he didn't look at Shen Yue at all, when Shen Yue looked at the boat, he was pinching his eight-character beard and chatting with the Zhang family steward.

"Shen Yue, your father Shen Defu mortgaged the deed of your family's 3,000 acres of land, borrowed 30,000 yuan of Zhang's silver, and 38,000 taels of interest, and the repayment deadline has reached two days ago, and now, you have reached an agreement with the master of the Zhang family Shanlu to repay the debt with 3,000 acres of land, and the Zhang family will compensate with a new ship, and the two sides do not owe each other......" The county master finally glanced at Shen Yue and opened his mouth to say.

It means that the two sides negotiated a fair and just deal, and he represents the county yamen as a middleman.

"Yes! It's all voluntary! Shen Yue's words almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

The collusion between officials and businessmen is so obvious.

"If you have no objection, just sign it!" The master took out a piece of paper deed, and it was suddenly stamped with the bright red seal of the Yamen of Dinghai Zhixian County.

As long as Shen Yue signed the pledge, the debts of the Zhang family and the Shen family would be settled.

At the same time, the Shen family's 3,000 acres of land changed their surname to Zhang.

"Young master, you can't sign it!" Shen Yue took the brush handed by Zhang's subordinates, and was about to sign his name to draw a pledge, when Shen Jiu arrived with Shen Da.

Shen Da jumped from the dock outside the zhang to the deck.

"Sir, we've got it done!" Shen Yue secretly said in his heart that he was good, he understood what Shen Da meant, but he couldn't help but sign.

The Zhang family colluded with the county yamen, Zhao Mansion, etc. for these 3,000 acres of land, and in the end they didn't give up the land, can they give up?

"Young master, they use a boat to compensate, and it can't be a broken ship that can't go to sea!" Shen Da's eyes were full of murderous intent and he looked at the steward of the Zhang Mansion and the county master next to him.

Ling Yan's gaze made the steward of the Zhang family tremble, but the latter did not retreat, and retorted with a puffed chest, "Young Master Shen, if you can't be the master of the Shen family, and you feel that my Zhang Mansion has bullied you, this transaction is canceled, and our master will personally go to the county yamen to ask the county lord to make the decision for my Zhang family." ”

Threat.

The atmosphere froze for a while.

Especially Shen Da, seeing that he was about to make a move, Shen Qi also began to rub his hands on the side, even Shen Jiu was staring at the young master, as long as the young master shouted, he would follow and kill the other party, the big deal was the opposite!

"That's it!" Shen Yue stopped Shen Da, took the pen from the other party's hand, and was about to sign the deed, when he was about to put down the pen, he suddenly asked the manager of the Zhang Mansion who was sweating nervously, "The boatman on this ship?" ”

"They are all homeless people, if Young Master Shen is interested, he can keep them, if Young Master Shen doesn't want them, they can only find a new owner." The housekeeper of the Zhang family looked at the shirtless sailors on the deck next to him and squatting on the small pier, with their hair coiled on their foreheads, and said to Shen Yue.

These men were burly and dark-skinned, and they were clearly good at begging for life at sea for many years.

"Young Master!" Shen Da was very dissatisfied, and he couldn't force Shen Yue not to sign and draw.

Shen Yue ignored Shen Da, directly signed his name in the deed, touched the clay box with his thumb, pressed it next to his name, and then looked at the Zhang family steward next to him.
