In November, the north wind is blowing loudly, and the wind is very majestic, and the sky is full of its sound. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe sun is shrinking, and I don't dare to come out to compete with the north wind. However, on the Sanjiangkou wharf in Datang Mingzhou, dozens of big ships are not afraid of the north wind and are ready to go.

If it had been a few days ago, more ships could have docked here, but those ships had already departed after they had been reloaded. What remains here now are all ships waiting to be loaded, including Li Chen's Flying Fish. However, in a few days, other ships will come into port to fill the vacant places.

On the dock, the Flying Fish had a simple crane, and under the traction of the sailors, it was lifting boxes of goods, and after hoisting it onto the deck, another group of sailors were busy putting the goods into storage.

Why don't those ships be loaded? A child lay on the side of the ship, saw that a ship had been resupplied and set off, and his own ship had to wait, so he asked, "The people have shipped it in Yangzhou." "They're here just to resupply." ’

After all, Yangzhou is the intersection of several major water systems, and it is very convenient to transport goods to distant places or receive goods here. Although there is also a canal in Mingzhou, after all, it is a long detour, and many Hu merchants choose to load and unload goods in Yangzhou. However, Yangzhou is not on the coast, and they still have to rely on small boats to load, which is also a troublesome place.

'Oh, I see, what about uncle? Suddenly, the kid asked an irrelevant question, "Say goodbye to Sister Xiaohong and Sister Yang." ''What's there to say?'' ''Just say goodbye, adults are like that.'' ''Why not on deck?'' ''Roar, how do I know, question wall, don't ask again.'' The big head roared.

The problem wall, the name is Xiaoqiang. The question wall is a way for Li Chen to teach, he will post some questions, some brain teasers, or logic problems on the wall, which are not in the main teaching, but just stimulate them to use their brains. And this child, because he can ask questions too much, turned out to be nicknamed the problem wall.

The big head is particularly annoyed with the problem wall, he doesn't open his mouth It's okay, everyone can play happily, as soon as he opens his mouth, it makes people have a headache, often ask some boundless, crazy horse and cow steps related questions, but the uncle also encourages him to ask. Of course, the questions on the question wall are occasionally very pointed, for example, where is Li Chen now?

In the guest room on the Flying Fish, Li Chen was sitting quietly. However, he is not alone, and he is enjoying the blessings of all people. I saw Yang Er on his left and Xiao Hong on his right, both of them snuggled in his arms. At the time of parting, the three of them leaned quietly like this, the two women listened to Li Chen's heartbeat, Li Chen smelled their fragrance, and they were drunk for a while.

Li Chen didn't expect that before he went to sea, there would be such a good thing. In order to persuade him not to go to sea, Fu Bo specially invited Xiaohong to be a lobbyist, but Li Chen was determined to go to sea and not go to sea, and the previous chapters were not considered to be fraudulent words.

'Amber, after I leave, I will ask you to take care of all the affairs in Yangzhou. ''The concubine knows. Yang Er replied shyly. "You just need to supervise the affairs of the theater, and Mrs. Zheng can take care of it." You just have to collect the money, you don't want to relax the children's education. ’

And the newly recruited children, do not do as they say, and all of them will be returned to the brocade clothes. It is only allowed to absorb some children who are willing to have children, and if they are raised according to the standard from the beginning, it is too cruel to the children's future. Yang Er nodded softly.

Jinyi, not the Ming Dynasty's brocade clothes. Li Chen gave him a new 10,000 horses and named him Jinyi. Taken from the brocade night walk, the spy is to be low-key, like the Ming Dynasty, is it still a spy? Doglegs only.

Last time I brought back a lot of big wood from the Japanese country, and the second ship is also under construction, so when you can launch it, find a bow and run the Japanese line. As soon as the conversation changed, Li Chen began to instruct Yang Er on matters related to Japanese trade.

Since the last time he tested the waters, he ran to the Wa Kingdom all of a sudden, and Li Chen began the Tang Wa trade. The port he went to last time was called Xuanjietan, or Xuanyang for short. There is the only way for the envoys of the Wa State to send Tang Dynasty. Li Chen also designated this place as his trading base in Japan.

The main reason for choosing this place is that it is close, from Mingzhou to the northeast, you can reach it by direct sail. Of course, he can choose other ports, but Japan is still very backward in this era, and it may not be better to choose other ports.

Besides, he chose this place so that people could send goods here for trading, he only needed to place an order, and next time a merchant would naturally send goods over, there was no need to go further away.

"The market potential of the Wa country is very large, buy more minerals and come back, try to encourage them to develop, what else to buy, you let the bow watch it, as for the swords of the Wa country, you don't want anything, learn my Datang technology, and now I want to sell Datang back." For the sword of the Japanese Kingdom, Li Chen sneered on the surface, but in fact, he kicked it in his heart.

Now the Japanese sword skills are still in the stage of imitating China, but Li Chen knows. The Tang Dynasty's Mo knife technology was lost after the death of the Tang Dynasty. Although the steel output of the Song Dynasty was far superior to that of the Tang Dynasty, the quality of the sword was still lost to the Japanese sword, so that the Song-Japan trade, and the Japanese sword was sold back to the Great Song Dynasty with high-grade products. I have to say, it's ironic.

'Alright, get off the boat, it's time to go.' Li Chen vaguely heard the sound of hard work, which meant that the ship was finally about to depart, Li Chen sent the two of them off the boat, Xiaohong's eyes were red, and he grabbed Li Chen's hand tightly, Li Chen could only reassure her with good words, telling her that in fact, the boat at sea was not so dangerous, and he would be back in seven or eight months at the latest.

In the end, the Flying Fish set sail, and Xiaohong was pulled off the boat by Yang Er, who was also teary-eyed, she knew that many things that men had to do, and all of them included dangers that could not be escaped.

Li Chen was on the boat, watching running along the dock, reluctant to look at him again at Xiaohong, and chasing after her, staring at Xiaohong for fear that she would fall into the sea, while also reluctant to let Yang Er go. There was also a group of children who came to see them off, but Li Chen's tears still burst the embankment.

There was still a faint sound in his ears that Xiaohong told him to take care and told him to come back, Li Chen watched as he gradually moved away from the land. Suddenly, he felt that the crying was too clear, and when he turned his head, he saw that more than 20 children who had gone to sea with him were also crying.

'Why are you crying, you didn't cry just now, why are you crying now?' The big head cried like a little cat, and sobbed and said, "Seeing that Uncle is crying, I suddenly want to cry too." A group of children in the back nodded frequently.

'Go, go, a bunch of children, you know what to worry about, all right, now let's move, along the way we have to measure the hydrology and observe the celestial phenomena. Some of you are busy, and you are not here to take you out to sea. ’

After Li Chen sent the children to do things, he continued to look at the sea, thinking that he was building the ship.

The timber used for that ship was the one he had brought back from Japan, so it would have been up to work soon, otherwise it would have taken years for the wood to dry out in the shade.

This ship, Li Chen is even more unsure. Although the Flying Fish is a little weird, it is still within the range of coolness. However, in the new construction of this ship, Li Chen named the ship Luhai, which exceeded the ability of the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty. The width of this ship is the same as that of the current Tang ship, four feet and two feet, and the height is four feet and five feet.

This altitude has exceeded the altitude of the Flying Fish, because the last time Li Chen went to Japan, he actually encountered a storm and almost sank. Only then did he feel that the high strings were not without benefits, and the anti-wave performance of Fuchuan and Guangchuan was really strong. He simply took the second ship, and made it in the same form as the Canton ship, except that the bow was spired, and then the tail was flat, and the tail was not upturned.

None of the above is the point, he has no confidence in this ship, because he never gave up the narrower shape of the ship in order to increase the speed, and as a result, the length of the ship reached 26 zhang. In terms of proportion, it is still 1:6, but this length completely exceeds the length of Datang's largest sea vessel. It's not like the Exocet, which deliberately reduced the face width to cater to the proportions.

The length of 26 zhang is already several zhang longer than the largest Tang ship at present, which is a challenge to the ability of craftsmen. That's why Li Chen is not at ease.

However, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless for Li Chen to worry. What he can do is to repeatedly tell him before setting off that this ship should try more, otherwise there will be problems and more trouble in the future voyage.

Letting go of his worries about the boat, Li Chen suddenly smiled, he thought that in addition to Yang Er and others who came to see him off, in addition to the group of children, there were some inexplicable people on the dock. I don't know which side it belongs to, but I don't want to call them, 'I don't know if they like my gifts?' ’

'Are you sure you're going to sea?' Luo Sihai asked, "I'm sure I'm going to sea, watching the immortals get on the boat and go to sea to visit the fairy mountain." After repeatedly confirming the news with his subordinates, Luo Sihai breathed a sigh of relief, offending the immortals made it more and more difficult for him to sleep, and now that the immortals have gone to sea, they should not be punished for the time being.

'Look you're scared like that. Shen Youyi, who was sitting next to him, said sarcastically, "You are not afraid, I don't know that a few days ago, the gods used the first method to blow up the big stone, and some people were so scared that their legs would not leave." ''Hmph, the son is silent, the power is confused, I, the master's protégé, don't tell you this, let's say it's serious.'' ’

'Open a theater? Zhao Wouji's eyes widened, "You don't want to live anymore, I still want to live a few more days, and finally when the immortals go out to sea to find the immortal mountain, you will die in a hurry." ’

'No, it won't. Cui Wuya explained, "This theater is not unique to the gods, and now several temples have opened theaters, and it is not good." ''That's when people are blessed by the gods and Buddhas, what do we have?'' ’

Let's make a few offerings too. Cui Wuya racked his brains, thinking of this method, he had to find a way to persuade Zhao Wouji not to be afraid, otherwise everything would be given to Huang.

'Are you sure there won't be a problem?' Luo Sihai asked with trepidation, "Don't worry, I heard that there are people in Jiangdu County who plan to open a theater." Cui Wuya said confidently, "Besides, if you don't think of a way, your old man's subordinates will probably be scattered." ’

'Okay, let's do it. Zao Wou-Ki's hands tightened and he made up his mind. What does Zhao Wou-Ki rely on to dominate the East City, he relies on a group of veterans who can fight and fight, both technology and equipment.

However, it is not easy to feed this group of people. This Zao Wou-Ki will take advantage of the opportunity to alternate the degree of moderation and make the moment, forcing those prostitutes who have a fortune to want both people and money.

But several times I wanted to clean up the Yangzhou woman who got in the way, but Li Chen interfered and made it yellow. Last time, he was relying on a strange case. wanted to get Zhao Liude backer, that bad handsome branch, but God knows, that Qin Feng Yangzhou didn't come out, and he caught the murderer.

Later, there was another incident, he regarded him as an immeasurable Taoist priest who was descended from the immortals, and was split by the true immortals with thunder and lightning, so he didn't dare to make a move on Zhao Liu at all. So that he is now in a troubled city, and if he can't get any money, people won't tell him anything.

He finally got through the door of his predecessor Jiedu, gave a heavy gift, and let Jiedu make a big stroke, and retired several veterans.

In Datang, there is no so-called retirement, a soldier for one day and a soldier for life. Unless you are old, disabled, sick, or weak, there is no such thing as retirement.

Zao Wou-Ki finally found these teams, hundreds of veterans, relying on them to dominate and prosper the East City. But now he is also facing a crisis, and he is about to be unable to raise it. There have been two teams of veterans who have broken away from him and all of them have thrown themselves to Li Chen's side, including the team led by Wang Tian.

'Okay. It's just a theater. Zao Wou-Ki finally made up his mind, there are so many theaters, and there is no rule that only you immortals can open it.

For Li Chen to go to sea, he was relieved that there was still Zhang Baogao. Although he is known as the god of the sea, he knows how much he has, and people can call the wind and rain and attract the thunder of the sky. Last time he offended the Yang family, he had always been worried about Li Chen's revenge.

Now that I heard that Li Chen went to sea, I thought that I would not retaliate against them in a short time, and I would not be able to come back for seven or eight months this time. However, he was now struggling with another thing. What's the matter? Treasure map.

He had a treasure map in his hand, which Li Chen gave him before he went to sea. It probably marks the location of a major treasure, and it is clear where it is.

Although he didn't know why Li Chen would give him this big treasure, Zhang Baogao didn't plan to take it, because the flickering candlelight flickered on the yellowed treasure map, and he saw a few big characters written on the treasure map, Yang Gong Treasure. That's right, Li Chen told Zhang Baogao the location of the legendary Yang Gong's treasure.

After knowing the identity of the Yang family, Li Chen realized why so many people believed that they had brought a big treasure to the Wa Kingdom. Fu Bo flatly denied that there was such a thing, and only deduced that he didn't know why it spread like this, and Li Chen didn't care. But things always have to be settled.

So he was very disgusted and made a fake treasure map, claiming to be the legendary treasure of Yang Gong. Throw it to Zhang Baogao, don't you want treasure? Go, Lao Tzu can tell you the location of the treasure, and you have the courage to dig it.

Thinking of Zhang Baogao's headache, Li Chen smiled proudly. The wide sea in the distance, I, Li Chen, are here. (To be continued.) )
