"Yanai, Yanai ......"

When the timid voice sounded, the first person to react was not Zhou Quan, but Wu Yang.

He took a step across, and he stood between the person who spoke and Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan glanced at it, but it was a person who got off the boat, Zhou Quan just felt that it seemed a little familiar, but his biggest problem was that he couldn't remember his face, so he hesitated for a while, or Wu Yang said: "He is the boatsmith we brought back from Suzhou, surnamed Lin, and his name is Chuanzhong." ”

Lin Chuanzhong grinned and smiled crampedly, waiting for Zhou Quan's response.

When Zhou Quan heard that it was a shipwright, he suddenly realized: "I remember, you went to sea trials with this ship, right?" ”

To change the traditional Chinese-style sailing ship into a Galen sailing ship or even a clipper ship that is more suitable for ocean voyages, it is not just Zhou Quan's drawing. He gathered the best shipwrights in several places, starting from the details of the ship, the first thing to do was the ship's mast, and Lin Chuanzhong was the one who followed the ship.

The first is to maintain with the ship, and the second is to summarize lessons learned.

"Master Lin, thank you for your hard work!" Zhou Quan thought of Lin Chuanzhong's identity, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, the middle-aged man's body was shocked, he only felt that his knees were weak, and he was about to kneel down for Zhou Quan.

Even when they were in their hometown, they had a humble status as shipwrights, where did they receive such attention!

And the title of "master craftsman" made him full of pride.

In Zhou Quan's industrial system, workers are also divided into hierarchies. The newcomer is naturally an apprentice, and can independently complete the assigned process, then it is called a small worker, and can skillfully complete his own work, which is a large worker, and can lead an apprentice, known as a master craftsman, only if there are outstanding skills, and be recognized, will be called a master craftsman.

Today, there are only three masters in the shipyard.

A master craftsman not only means that their salary income is more than ten times that of a small worker, but also means status. Those who have the title of master craftsman can directly go to Zhou Quan, can preside over a certain technological change, and can apply to the shipyard for special test fees.

"In the ya, the villain has something to ask for......"

"Master Lin, you are the treasure of our shipyard, if there is anything, just say that Uncle Zhang can't solve it, I'll solve it for you!" Zhou Quan said with a smile.

Lin Chuanzhong opened his eyebrows and smiled, knowing what he wanted, he was afraid that he would become more than half.

When he was in Suzhou, he saw with his own eyes how the high-flying and domineering Zhu Mian was embarrassed by Zhou Quan, and after arriving in Haizhou, he also gained a rare feeling of respect in his life, so he was close and respected to Zhou Quan from the bottom of his heart.

"In the villain's house, there are still relatives...... The villain's family has been building boats for generations, and they are of some use to the yanai, so the villain begs the yaunai to allow them to come to the shipyard as well. ”

Lin Chuanzhong was a little uneasy at this time, you must know that his relatives worked as shipwrights in Quanzhou, and their income was at least half lower than in the Haizhou shipyard!

Zhou Quan was about to agree, but suddenly thought of something, and frowned slightly: "There is no problem with this matter, but I remember that when you first came, I said that you can invite relatives to come...... Why didn't you move them in then? ”

"Where the ancestral mound is, someone has to be left to sweep the tomb, and the villain thought so at that time. Now there are some inconsistencies, there are more and more cannibals in Quanzhou, if they only have one or two, they are still well-behaved, but after there are many people, they will be overbearing...... Near my home, they wanted to build a big food temple, and my family couldn't stay there, so I wrote to inquire and asked if I could move to Haizhou. ”

Zhou Quan was furious when he heard this.

Why did the descendants of Yan and Huang open up a place to live, why should they build temples for the big cannibals, but drive away their own people?

It's just that he can't reach out to Quanzhou now, so he can only secretly remember this matter: "You write back...... Forget it, you find a reliable person, and I will send a few more people to the south together, and bring all the people who wish to come to Quanzhou! ”

"Thank you Yanai, thank you Yanai!" Lin Chuanzhong hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

Next, the array boy brought by Zhou Quan stepped forward and asked Ping Xin and Lin Chuanzhong about the improvement suggestions of the ship. It was Zhou Quan himself who was idle.

Since Sun Cheng and their first batch of teenagers grew up, more and more people can take charge of themselves, and Zhou Quan has more free time to spend more energy on educating the new batch of teenagers. In the past, the teenagers were mainly from the Beijing Division or the Western Army, and later they were orphans from the Xuzhou Civil Rebellion, and now, there are children from all over the country, especially the children of craftsmen in the various workshops presided over by Zhou Quan.

In the school of Longchuan Beiye, the number of students has exceeded 1,000.

While full of a sense of achievement, Zhou Quan was also a little empty.

No one shared his sense of accomplishment with him.

Even if there are parents and so many array of teenagers, Zhou Quan is still missing something.

Friend.

Thinking of friends, his first thought was Yue Fei, in the past two years, the two have also exchanged letters, Zhou Quan even knew that Zhou Tong did not return to his hometown after leaving Xuzhou, but went to Tangyin, carefully taught Yue Fei martial arts, archery and the art of war.

It's just that Yue Fei can be a brother, but it's hard to be a friend.

Then the person he thought of turned out to be Yu Liyan. is not a teacher, because in Zhou Quan's heart, this little lady is his sister.

I don't know what is happening to this lively and bold Khitan princess now.

Maybe...... Should I go and see her?

I don't know if she has received the gift she brought, whether she likes it.

Yelu Yu Liyan is also thinking about Zhou Quan, some people stay together all day, but they are like strangers to each other, and some people don't get along for more than a month, but they seem to have a fate in their previous life.

"Princess, let's go back, it is said that around here, there are Zuo Taoists gathering to make trouble, and now the princess is not fully guarded, if there is any accident, the villain can't afford it!"

Someone around Yu Liyan persuaded him, and Yelu Yu Liyan flicked the horsewhip irritably, but he didn't whip the person with a whip.

"Zhou Langjun, I remember that you didn't like me to whip people the most, and I've changed it now...... It's a pity that you can't see it......" Yu Liyan resounded in his heart.

"Princess ......"

"Don't bother me...... Take it down and whip it...... No, change the palm! ”

The talkative guard was immediately taken aside by his companions, who kept whispering congratulations to him. Then there was the sound of crackling palms, and a moment later, the mouthy guard was brought to Yu Liyan again.

"Ahh......h I didn't hold back, and gave him fifty yuan as compensation! ”

It's just that his face is slightly red, and he gets fifty yuan in exchange, which is a beautiful difference around Yu Liyan! All the guards knew the temper of this princess of Shu, and they started to deny it, but they would soon regret it. And she seems to be short-tempered, but in fact she is very soft-hearted, and she has to pay compensation every time she regrets it, and the money for compensation is very rich.

This princess has this confidence, not only because in the Yelu Zhangnu Rebellion, the princess can be said to have saved the car, but also because of her fiefdom, which has now become a real and nameless Liao City.

Because of the support of Yelu Yanxi, the princess Fengyi Wuqing County became the Liao State's Yucheng to the Great Song Dynasty, although it was not as prosperous as the Baihe Yiyu City in the Xiongzhou of the Great Song Dynasty, but after all, this is also the Yucheng, which contributed more than two million yuan in taxes to the Liao State in the past year, and Yu Liyan can get one-tenth of it.

More than 200,000 yuan, among the many princesses and princes of the Liao Kingdom, it is very good, and Yu Liyan can even use this money to raise an elite guard of hundreds of people.

"The princess hasn't been in a good mood lately." One of the guards whispered.

"Inevitably, on the side of the Southern Dynasty, the princess's thoughts were compiled into commentaries and preached in the market, but the southern boy never said anything, Your Highness, she was naturally in a bad mood...... It's been almost two years! Another pro-guard said.

"Shhh, do you two also want to ask for a reward, this is heard by His Royal Highness, it's not a few slaps that can do it, if you break your bones, it will give you dozens of more rewards......"

They whispered, a little away from Yu Liyan, so Yu Liyan couldn't hear it.

But someone heard.

"You three fools, don't talk nonsense here, if you want to find death, I'll transfer you to eliminate that leftist cult!"

Yelu Margo walked over majestically, and the three guards were so frightened that they immediately flashed as far as they could.

When Yelu Mage arrived behind Yu Liyan, the majesty on his face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a flattering smile: "Your Highness, Your Highness, here are two letters, one is from Concubine Wen's mother......"

"If you don't look at it, it's just urging me to go back to Beijing, I'm not going, I'm annoyed!" Yu Liyan pursed his lips.

The rebellion of the Jurchens made the Liao State very scrambling, and the first conquest of the Jurchens also suffered a fiasco, but because of the easing of relations with the Great Song Dynasty, especially from the great benefits of the Rongcheng trade, the Liao State's finances could still be supported, and the situation was stable. But the internal contradictions of the Liao State were revealed, after the rebellion of Yelu Zhangnu, Yelu Yanxi is now very suspicious, and the two noble concubines Concubine Wen Xiao Sese and Yuan Concubine Xiao Guige each support their sons, and the two sides are incompatible.

Yu Liyan is the daughter of Concubine Wen, and she has always been close to her biological mother, but she has no interest in the fight between the two sides. She had already taken out a large amount of her private money and given it to Concubine Wen, but she herself only wanted to stay away from the fighting, so she stayed in the fiefdom of Wuqing for a long time and refused to return to Beijing.

"There is also a letter, it was brought by a merchant of the Song Kingdom, and there is still a gift with the letter, cough cough, Your Highness, don't do it, don't do it!"

Yu Liyan almost snatched the letter from Yelu Ma Ge's hand, and after opening it, she saw the handwriting she was already familiar with.

Zhou Quan wrote.

"You want me to wait in Wuqing...... Will you come and meet me? ”

Seeing the content of the letter, Yu Liyan was so excited that she almost jumped!

After nearly two years of separation, Zhou Quan is finally going north again, coming to Liao, and meeting her?

Is the person who has been looking forward to it day and night finally about to appear?

Then she suddenly became a little worried in her heart, although the Song and Liao countries had reached an alliance with Yucheng, but the two countries were still guarding against each other, and Zhou Quan went north, unless he got the support of the Great Song Dynasty and came as an envoy.

Otherwise, what awaits him will be the punishment of the two countries!
