Zhou Quan's plan to go to Liandao has been there since the first day he came to Haizhou.

He wanted to put the glass kiln on the island, use the boat yard and the textile workshop as a cover, and use the windfall profits of glassware to prepare funds for his next plan. Liandao is the most suitable one among many alternatives, so when he first arrived in Haizhou, he wanted to land on the island, but for safety reasons, he did not make the trip.

This time was different, Su Mai transferred the sailors of the imperial court for him, this is a 500-material warship, although it is not big, but the sailors on board are all veterans of the sailors, and they should be much more reliable than the old fishermen of the day.

The boat docked on the dock not far from the salt farm, and when Zhou Quan and Zhang Shun arrived, they had been waiting for them for a long time.

An officer of the naval division sat under the pergola on the shore, and beside him, the fat man Wei Debiao appeared again.

Zhou Quan was not surprised by Wei Debiao's appearance. He still didn't pay attention to it, but said to Wu Yang with a smile: "Uncle Wu is such a heroic figure, how can he be afraid of water, no, no, you have to get on the boat with me today!" ”

"Who said I'm afraid of water, I'm not afraid of ordinary ditches, but this is the sea...... Da Lang, this is the residence of the Dragon King, what is the matter, leave it to Qi Nian to do, why do you take risks yourself? ”

"If I don't go, I won't be able to." Zhou Quan just smiled at this.

They turned a blind eye to Wei Debiao, and Wei Debiao could only smile awkwardly, but the officer of the naval division beside him walked up: "I've seen Zhou Yanei...... Xiaguan Feng Yanshou has been ordered to wait here for a long time. ”

"It's hard work, Feng has inspected." Zhou Quan said.

This Haizhou sailor is just a box army, not an elite, but Zhou Quan is still very polite to this Feng Yanshou. He glanced at Wang Qinian, and Wang Qinian stepped forward to greet Feng Yanshou, and at the same time stuffed a small cloth bag into the other party's hand.

Feng Yanshou pinched the small bag, his expression moved slightly, and Wei Debiao next to him changed slightly.

"Inspector Feng, please come here, here is the thank you money for all the sailor brothers, and after I come back from my family, I can send it to all the brothers." Wang Qinian pulled Feng Yanshou aside, only to see a box tied to the horse's back, and when the box was opened, it was full of shiny copper coins.

Feng Yanshou's eyes were straight.

Soldiers like them only have 500 wen or less money per month for feeding, just enough to fill their stomachs, and if they want to support their families, they have to get some extra money, and sometimes they even need to go fishing to catch their families.

And Wang Qinian pointed out that in the box he showed him, there should be ten yuan of money, and there were only eighteen people on his ship, and each person could get more than 500 yuan, which was equivalent to more than a month's income.

"How does this work?" Feng Yanshou shouted.

"How can I not do it, in the future, I will inevitably have to worry about Inspector Feng and your brothers, this is just a thank you gift, not a tribute...... Feng Inspector, let's tell the truth, my family is in Beijing, but I am known as the little God of Wealth, if you can be more convenient with my family's office, I dare not say that I am promoted, and I will make a fortune...... It's hard not to get rich! ”

"Really?" Feng Yanshou is a small person, and getting promoted to make a fortune is his greatest pursuit, hearing Wang Qinian say this, his eyes suddenly widened.

"I'm going to lie to you, these copper coins won't lie to you...... I think I've heard about Snow Candy and Yucheng when I come to Feng Inspector, all of which are single-handedly promoted by my family's ya, and a little bit of leakage from his fingers can make you big fish and meat every day, so Feng Patrol, good flattery and good in my family's ya, there are your benefits! ”

Feng Yanshou heard this, rubbed his hands excitedly, and said with a smile: "That's natural, if I don't treat Yanai as my father, I'm like this!" ”

He gestured to Wang Ba, and then laughed. He smiled proudly, and Wei Debiao next to him, although he also laughed, but under this smile, there was still a little worry and fear.

"I'll wait for Yanai to get on ......the boat," Feng Yanshou said.

At this moment, Wei Debiao moved his hand unnoticedly, and on that boat, an expressionless sailor noticed his action and nodded slightly.

After getting the benefits, Feng Yanshou naturally would not slack off, he personally set up the gangway and wanted to help Zhou Quan get on the boat, but Zhou Quan waved his hand and refused: "Nothing to do, I can come by myself!" ”

After jumping on the boat, he felt the swaying of the waves, Zhou Quan was fine, Li Bao and Wang Qinian, who followed up, were dizzy, but Wuyang was still stable.

"It's about the same as when a fast horse gallops." Hearing Li Bao and Wang Qinian talk about dizziness, Wu Yang smiled.

"It's a pity that Liang Tingfang has already left, if he doesn't leave, he has to see if it is really as he boasted, he is walking on the ground above the river!"

Zhang Shun stood on the side of the boat, heard a conversation between several people, the sea breeze blew, and he took a long breath.

In their eyes, the ship of five hundred materials is considered a big ship, but in Zhou Quan's opinion, this ship is nothing.

He looked curiously up and down the ship, even the dark bilge. Feng Yanshou followed him, and when he asked a question, Feng Yanshou answered, so he knew a lot about the water master at this time.

For example, for a ship of 500 materials, according to the regulations, the official sailors on board should be twelve, but the soldiers are counted separately when going into battle. If it is 600 materials, it is 13 people, and if it is less than 400 materials, it is set at 11 people. Only in this way can the boat be kept in the water for a long time, and there will be enough fresh water and food. This time, it was only offshore, and it was less than ten miles to sea, so Feng Yanshou brought a few more people, so including him, there were nineteen sailors on board.

At this time, the sail used on the ship is still a hard sail, but a hard sail does not mean that it is backward, on the contrary, the hard sail has a soft sail that cannot be compared. The biggest problem with hard sails is that they can't be made too big, and the area of the sail is limited, so there is naturally less wind that can be held.

"Yanai, we're going to set sail, Yanai is going to sit in the cabin?" After taking Zhou Quan around twice inside and out, Feng Yanshou asked with a smile.

"No, I'll go to the deck too."

At this time, the smell in the cabin was unpleasant, dark and damp, and Zhou Quan was reluctant to stay inside. He went up to the deck and watched Feng Yanshou command everyone to raise the sails there.

"Why did Da Lang shake his head?" Zhang Shun next to him followed him every step of the way, and asked when he saw his expression.

"In the future, when we form a fleet, these methods must be standardized, and we must not be like them, rushing and working blindly." Zhou Quan said in a low voice.

Zhang Shun didn't quite understand, in his opinion, these people were okay to do things, although they were a little messy, but they quickly raised the sails.

This is also unavoidable, this person is also casual and unaware of the prescribed operation to reduce the occurrence of accidents. Zhou Quan pondered whether to take a chance to take Zhang Shunye

"Da Lang, you talked about levers and pulleys a few days ago, wouldn't it be more effortless to use a pulley set to lift these sails?"

Li Bao, who had been silent and silent, suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at him for all this, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Yes, that's the truth, Bao, I didn't expect you, who are at the bottom of every door, to think of this!" Wang Qinian stroked his palms and said.

Zhou Quan also smiled and patted Li Bao's shoulder.

A wise man will have a thousand worries, and a fool will have a gain. Although Li Bao was straightforward, he was the first to think that such a thing as a pulley block could be used to raise the sails of the ship.

While they were talking and laughing, the boat moved, pushed by several sailors, and left the shore.

If a ship of 500 materials is replaced with tonnage, that is, a displacement of more than 40 tons, a ship of this size is very affected by the waves, and it is not obvious when it is close to the shore, but it is farther from the shore, and the shaking brought by the waves is even more obvious. In addition, when the sail is raised, when riding the wind and waves, it is not just shaking, but bumping, Zhou Quan and Zhang Shun also hold on to the guardrail to watch, and Wang Qinian and Li Bao, the two landlubbers, can only sit on the deck.

"Wow!"

Wang Qinian was the first one, and he began to vomit less than a moment after the ship went to sea, followed by Li Bao, and the two vomited so much that Zhou Quan pondered, it seemed necessary to prepare a special sea training for the array boys, so that they could come to Haizhou regularly every year to receive sea training.

This idea was born and was determined by Zhou Quan.

"Uncle Wu is worthy of being Uncle Wu, he is so upset, he can even react without any reaction." Wang Qinian saw that although Wu Yang's face was also ugly, he could still stand without vomiting, and after emptying the gastric juice once, he said with admiration.

Wu Yang glanced at him expressionlessly.

"Uncle Wu, there should be some secret in this, teach us." Wang Qinian said again.

Wu Yang's lips squirmed twice, and he stopped talking.

"Did Uncle Wu say that he still wants to keep it a secret from us?" Wang Qinian said.

"No......" Wu Yang finally spoke, but only after saying a word, he immediately planted it forward, stuck his head out of the guardrail, and then spit out.

It turned out that he didn't have any secrets, he just simply endured it, but Wang Qinian kept talking to him, which made him unbearable, so he also vomited.

After vomiting, he looked at Wang Qinian with murderous eyes, but Wang Qinian looked innocent.

However, Wu Yang would not be deceived by such a look on his face, this guy was the most insidious of all the array boys, and it was definitely intentional just now.

"After returning to Longchuan Villa, you have to practice fighting with me every day." Wu Yang said expressionlessly.

This time it was Wang Qinian's turn to have a bitter face, and Li Bao's face was filled with a smile of pain.

He was curious in his heart, why they, the people who grew up in the Central Plains, kept vomiting when they went to the sea, but Zhou Quan was the same as them, but except for a little discomfort at the beginning, he was very stable now, and he was still talking and laughing with Zhang Shun on the side.

"Da Lang is really like a god, and he is not even afraid of this sea......" Li Bao thought to himself.

As you get farther and farther from the shore, the sea breeze seems to get stronger. When you look at it from the shore, it seems that Liandao is in front of you, but it takes half an hour for the ship to sail, and it is only halfway there. Li Bao finally came to his senses, but it wasn't because he had adapted to the conditions at sea, but because he had vomited out of his stomach.

His gaze never left Zhou Quan, and at this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank.

When Zhou Quan and Zhang Shun were discussing, the hull of the ship shook suddenly, and a cable fell from the sail and was sweeping on Zhou Quan's body, Zhou Quan's body was entangled by this cable, and the whole thing was thrown up and fell into the sea!
