Ye Shaolong unexpectedly learned that there were still craftsmen from the former shipyard, so he went to meet people in a hurry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the front hall, the tower was waiting with a trembling old man, and there was no one else in the hall, only the tower and the old man. Obviously, the shipyard craftsman that the tower is talking about must be this old man who seems to have a problem walking.

came with full hope, but found that it was such an old man, Ye Shaolong's enthusiasm suddenly came to naught, and he walked in with a calm face.

Tie Ta thought that Ye Shaolong was angry at his rudeness before, so he came up and said with a smile: "Dashuai, this old man is a craftsman in the former shipyard, and his family has lived in the shipyard for generations. It was only after the shipyard closed a few years ago that the family had no choice but to find another way to survive. ”

Ye Shaolong was no longer very interested, and after hearing this, he just nodded politely with the old man and smiled. It seemed to him that the old man was obviously unable to work, and even if he had experience and could build ships, he would not be able to work because of his old age and frailty.

In this way, there is no difference between coming to him and not having him. The disheartened Ye Shaolong really wanted to turn around and leave, but it was not good to leave people there like this, and he would not be able to get over it in his heart.

Ye Shaolong glared at the tower dissatisfied, and then forced a smile on his face: "Can the old man build a ship?" ”

Ye Shaolong didn't hold out any hope, but just asked casually. I plan to send people away after a polite sentence.

Unexpectedly, this old man had a big temper, and he seemed to see that Ye Shaolong was absent-minded about him, so he stared at him and said in a very angry tone: "You look down on the old man." ”

As soon as the old man spoke, he immediately attracted Ye Shaolong's attention, and he looked at the old man with his eyes. A coarse cloth coat covered with patches, white hair, and wrinkles. It was no different from an ordinary old man, the only difference was his big rough hands covered with calluses.

is such an old man who looks ordinary from the outside, but as soon as he speaks, he is so angry. This kind of is either really capable and very capable, or it is already old and confused.

Ye Shaolong hoped that the old man was the former kind of person, so he hugged his fists and formally bowed to the old man and apologized: "The disrespect of the younger generation is still expected to be strange to the predecessors, now that the Qing Dynasty is dead, foreigners and Japanese are rampant and domineering on our land and sea." The boy is not talented but does not want to be bullied like this, so he continues to know how to build ships, build ships to deal with them with foreigners, so that he will not be powerless to fight back. ”

After a pause, Ye Shaolong continued: "If my husband can build a ship, I hope that my husband can help me build a ship as soon as possible to drive away foreigners and widows." ”

"You have a good attitude, and the old man will tell you the truth. If you build a ship now, the old man can't do anything, but the old man has some drawings at home, and if the adults need it, the old man is willing to give it with both hands. The old man had a smug look on his face, although he was no longer able to do it himself, but as long as there were drawings, the average carpenter would study it a little, and it would not be difficult to build a ship.

Ye Shaolong's eyes flashed, and he laughed: "Such a junior has thanked his predecessors for the Yejiabao army, in order to express his gratitude, if the seniors are willing, they can move to Yejiabao with their families." There, seniors and family members will be treated with the highest treatment in Yejiabao. ”

In order to attract talents, Ye Shaolong also spared no cost, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was the highest treatment in Yejiabao. You must know that the highest treatment in Yejiabao can only be enjoyed by the original old man.

But the old man in front of him shook his head and refused directly: "The old man thanked the handsome for his kindness, but we are used to living outside, and we don't want to move the nest." ”

Ye Shaolong was slightly stunned, and then persuaded: "Old man, you have to think clearly, if there is chaos today, there will be war everywhere." If you don't hide it, there may be a large number of Japanese robbers coming to Tianjin City today, and once we start a war, we will definitely implicate the surrounding villages. If you still insist on staying at home, I am afraid that everyone's lives are in danger. ”

"The Wokou are coming!" The old man was really shocked at this moment, and the expression on his face changed.

"Yes, I won't say much about the murderous name of the Japanese coquents, I believe that my husband lives by the sea all the year round, and he should know them better than me." Ye Shaolong added indifferently.

In this case, the old man retracted what he had just said and was willing to go to Yejiabao with his family. I don't know if we'll be able to leave in time! "The old man changed quite quickly, and he was even more anxious than Ye Shaolong in the blink of an eye.

After all, human life is at stake, and everywhere they go, they have always burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. If the village encounters the Japanese invaders, it means destruction, and no one can be left alone.

The old man himself is old, and one foot has already stepped into the coffin, he may not be afraid of death, death is not terrible to him. But there are still young children in the family, sons and daughters, who are still young, and should not be destroyed by the Japanese invaders.

Ye Shaolong smiled and said, "As long as the old man can leave, he can go to Yejiabao at any time." However, considering that the Japanese can arrive at any time, the sooner the better, and you should evacuate before the Japanese arrive. ”

The old man was not ambiguous, and replied: "The old man knows, please rest assured, as long as the people from our village arrive at Yejiabao safely, they will definitely present all the drawings and never hide their secrets." ”

"So there will be Lao Lao, please!" Ye Shaolong hugged his fists politely.

"Farewell!" After the old man immediately returned the salute, he went back to the village under the escort of the iron tower and arranged for the evacuation of the whole village.

Accidentally getting the shipbuilding drawings, although this thing is worth rejoicing, but Ye Shaolong is just happy. After all, the ships of the foreigners today are all large steel ships, and the wooden ships of the Qing Dynasty like the current one cannot be matched at sea.

It's just that for Ye Shaolong at present, a wooden boat is also a ship, at least after having a ship, it won't be like now, and he can't even go to sea. Whether or not there can be a war is another matter, at least at sea, so that you will not be so passive that you can only be beaten but you can only stare dryly.

After dealing with the old man's affairs, Ye Shaolong went to the port non-stop. It was almost noon, and the pirates could arrive at any moment, so all the preparations had to be sufficient, at least not for the pirates to come directly to the city.

Standing on the highest turret, Ye Shaolong held a telescope in his hand to observe the vast sea, but he did not see anything suspicious. There were no ships on the sea, and not a single ghost of the Wako was to be seen.

But there is not even a single seabird at sea, and the sea is calm and waveless, and such a quiet sea is rare, which also sets off an unsettling atmosphere.
