Out of the gate of the Shen Mansion, this time was different, Shen Xi personally sent it, and when he said goodbye, he even held Ye Chang's arm, with an earnest attitude, which made people almost uncomfortable.

Ye Chang finally got rid of Shen Xi's enthusiasm for staying guests, and when he walked out of this copper camel workshop, he retracted his smile and wiped his hands vigorously with a little disgust.

Just now, Shen Xi held his hand and said a lot of words to connect with his feelings.

Seeing him like this, Nan Jiyun smiled and said, "Fifth brother, things are not going well? ”

"Shun, it's too smooth, this guy is a guy who takes the bait when he smells fishy, and promised to let his people help us." Ye Chang said: "Although their family has been moving inward for 20 years, the old retainers are still there, and I don't expect them to do anything, they can help us be guides and lead the way, then I will be satisfied." ”

"That's it."

The two spoke in a low voice, and when they learned that Ye Chang would also provide weapons for Shen Xi's private soldiers, Nan Jiyun was shocked: "Why are you also agreeing to such conditions, not to mention that Haolu's blades and armor are hard to find, even if you have it, we have to do it first, where is the turn to get him"

Ye Chang laughed, and the straight "Amitabha" next to him said: "The second brother has always seen the fifth brother see it accurately, why is it gone today?" ”

"Huh?"

"Last time, you said that you were abducted by the fifth brother again...... Second brother, think about it, the man surnamed Shen is raised by us, and we practice it, you say...... After the real practice, are these horses surnamed Shen or Ye? ”

Nan Jiyun sighed, he really cares about it, what Ye Chang is best at, isn't it to win people's hearts. The person provided by Shen Xi, if he was really trained by Ye Chang for half a year, I am afraid that even his parents don't know what their surnames are, and they will still listen to Shen Xi?

"Hehe, I'm like a great master of MLM." Ye Chang smiled and groaned: "The reason why I agreed is that there is another reason. First, the surnamed Shen is familiar with the situation in Liaodong, horses, cows, etc., he has to think of something to prepare for us from the Hu people, which is much more convenient than looking for it ourselves. Second, I'm still waiting for his people to point out that where there is iron ore, where there is coal mine, where there is iron and coal, we can make steel by ourselves, build armor, and even a strong crossbow, I can get it for you."

The crossbow is a weapon, the Tang Dynasty infantry can run rampant in the world, the defense relies on the bright light armor, the melee battle relies on the yang knife, and the long-range attack relies on the crossbow. It's just that the manufacture of military crossbows requires good craftsmen, and the output is also limited, so Nan Jiyun is not concerned about this. When he heard Ye Chang say that he could mass-produce steel crossbows, Nan Jiyun was suddenly shocked: "Eleven Lang, do you have a treasure bag and many other things, and you haven't taken them out for us to see?" ”

"How?"

"You can really make crossbows, and in large quantities?"

"It's easy." Ye Chang smiled.

At this time, craftsmen made a living by handicraft, so they were often hidden, and it was difficult to inherit and spread the craft, which also determined that the production at this time must be a small production in the form of a family workshop, even if it was a military craftsman camp controlled by the imperial court. Therefore, although there are tens of thousands of craftsmen in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, there are tens of thousands of craftsmen who nominally belong directly to the imperial court, but the production capacity has not been fully utilized. Ye Chang felt that if these tens of thousands of craftsmen were to organize and manage him, even if he did not carry out a technical revolution, his production efficiency would be several times higher.

They talked and laughed, walked east along Luoshui, and when they walked the bridge on the Luoshui River, they were about to cross the bridge to Nanshi, when they suddenly heard a shouting on the bridge, and the sound was even eager.

Ye Chang looked at the horse, only to see a boat floating down the Luoshui, about some time ago because of the heavy rain in the Luoshui River, at this time the water was very urgent, the boat lost control, although the captain on the boat was sweating profusely, but the boat just didn't listen to the call, and even began to whirl.

The people on the boat were crying, and the captain was screaming, and the people watching the excitement on the shore were shouting. Ye Chang saw the appearance of the boat, and saw many people crowding on the bridge to watch the excitement, and was shocked: "Don't go to the bridge, don't go to the bridge"

The bridge was a wooden bridge, and so many people were standing on it, and the bridge was already so heavy that if the ship hit the pillars, I was afraid that all the people on the bridge would fall into the water.

But Ye Chang's voice was drowned out in this shouting. Some idlers have gone up to the bridge, because the bridge is the best to see lively. Ye Chang was in a hurry, Shanzhi and Nan Jiyun and others went to stop one after another, but they could stop the nearby, but they couldn't stop the opposite side and the other side of the bridge, and in a blink of an eye, hundreds of people crowded onto the bridge.

In this situation, Ye Chang really had nothing to do. At this moment, only a loud cry was heard, and a figure rushed forward, holding a long penny for drying clothes in his hand, and after rushing to the shore, one end of his penny was a little harder on the riverbank, and then the whole person was bounced up, like a pole vault, and flew into the air.

He wanted to use the power of this bullet to jump onto the ship that was rushing down

Ye Chang's heart moved, this person made a move at this time, thinking that he was a good boatman, but only heard a click, and the penny in the person's hand was broken

The man's body had not bounced to the highest level, and before he had much force, he began to fall towards the man. The man let out another loud cry and fell into the water with a "bang", but at the same time as the waves splashed in the water, his body bounced again.

But before he fell into the water, he put one hand on the side of the ship, and with this strength he jumped up and landed firmly on the stern.

The boat shook violently, and before the captain knew what was going on, he saw that the man who jumped on the boat put half of the penny into the water a little, and the boat, which had been spinning, began to slow down, and the bow of the boat was straightened. The captain turned around and looked at the man: "Ah, thank you"

"Stand firm," cried the man, and with another penny, the bow of the ship swung sideways, and slant under the wooden bridge. The people on the bridge only realized the danger of Fang Cai at this time, and they all exclaimed in unison.

Looking at the man, Ye Chang's expression was a little strange: "I never thought that this guy would have such skills"

The person who flew and jumped onto the boat was the Hunusu thick leg that Shen Xi gave to Ye Chang

I saw that he flicked it quickly, and the boat gradually approached the shore, and finally paused and stopped. Everyone looked at the man who was in trouble, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was clearly just a teenager.

"Torturer, before the hair grows, you want to learn to brace the penny?" Su was drenched in water, and scolded the man.

Although the little captain's face was pale, he was not convinced: "So what, it's my own boat, you have to take care of it, go and take care of your ship."

The people around scolded the little man one after another, and Su Thick Leg stepped forward and kicked the kid over. However, he also knew that most of the boatmen on this Luoshui were in a group, and he was just a helper, and he couldn't manage a lot.

Jumping ashore, the cold wind blew, and Su's thick legs began to shiver. He cursed twice, only to feel the cold air penetrating his bones, and he almost wanted to freeze.

At this moment, a person greeted him with a smile: "Su thick legs, you can do a beautiful job today"

The man said as he undressed and draped it over Su's thick legs. Su Bu saw that it was Ye Chang, his face was pale, he felt Ye Chang's body temperature on the cotton clothes, and couldn't help but bow down and said, "I actually saw Ye Langjun again...... It's just that Lang Jun laughed again, Su Thick Legs was down, this is fate"

"The first two times were down, but today it is not, if it weren't for you, this wooden bridge would have been broken, and I don't know if there were dozens or hundreds of people who would have fallen into the water. It's freezing cold, and there will be a lot of casualties if it falls. Ye Chang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't talk nonsense, there is an inn on the side, you come with me, let the inn prepare hot water, and then have a bowl of ginger soup and spirits to drive away the cold."

Su Rough thought that he owed Ye Chang a lot of favors, and he didn't care about such an extra one, so he followed Ye Chang to the inn. After cleaning up, when I came out again, I didn't see Ye Chang, I only saw the innkeeper holding Yu Yi.

"This is the clothes that Lang Jun bought for you, although they are old, they are all washed." The guy laughed

After all, this is not the afterlife, there are clothing stores everywhere, so Ye Chang can only ask the guy to buy old clothes for Su Thick Legs. Su Thick Legs asked while changing clothes, "What about that Lang Junren?" ”

"Gone...... said that he would see you again in a while, oh, the shopkeeper over there, he also sent two pieces of money for the guests to pick up by themselves. ”

Su's thick-legged hand stiffened, and he raised his eyes to look at the guy: "Where did you go?" ”

"After crossing the bridge, it's going to Nanshi, that Lang Jun knows, it's Xiuwu Ye Shiyi Lang, Nanshi Daguan Garden, but it's a big belongings"

Ye Chang is in Luoyang City, and now he is also a celebrity who is not big or small, and there are many people who know him. Hearing what the guy said, Su Thick Legs hurriedly put on his clothes, and then regardless of the two pieces of money on the counter, he chased towards the bridge.

He ran out of the south gate of Tonghufang and looked towards the bridge, which was very prosperous because it connected to Nanshi East Street. In the endless crowd, Ye Chang and others could not be seen, and Su rushed onto the bridge with thick legs, but still did not see Ye Chang.

He didn't hesitate and continued to run forward, almost hitting someone. rushed for more than 100 steps, and then saw the crowd straight.

The upright robe was more conspicuous in the crowd, and when I saw him, I saw Ye Chang and others. Su Thick Legs shouted: "Ye Langjun, Ye Langjun"

There were too many people, and his voice was drowned in the noise, and Ye Chang didn't hear it at first. Su Thick Legs followed closely and caught up, but fortunately, Ye Chang and the others chatted while walking, so it didn't take long for Su Thick Legs to arrive.

"Ye Langjun," he shouted again.

Ye Chang turned around, saw that it was him, and said with a smile: "It's so fast...... Su Zhuangshi, what is the matter with you? ”

Su Fu's lips squirmed twice, and there was shame on his face: "Thank you Ye Langjun......"

"You saved people first, I just bought a few clothes for you, where can I be thankful?" Ye Chang got off the horse: "You and I are also old acquaintances, so there is no need for this." ”

"I ...... I ......"

"What's so difficult about Su Zhuangshi? But I will not stand aside from those who can help. ”

Ye Chang used to have a heart for Su Thick Legs, but after two failures, this heart faded. Originally, he just liked that Su Bu Leg had some skills, but today he saw that he still had a warm heart hidden under his cold face, and his good impression suddenly increased, so he made a promise.

Su Thick Legs hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Ye Langjun placed the villain in the inn and bought clothes, but why didn't you meet and leave?" ”

"Huh...... Su Zhuangshi is a cheerful person, and he won't hide it from you, seeing your appearance, he is still depressed recently. Ye knew that the last thing a down-and-out person wanted to see was an old acquaintance, so he turned around and left, because he was afraid that you would be embarrassed, but he didn't mean to be rude. ”

Ye Chang said this frankly, and Su Bushy still made a big red face over there, and he bowed down and said, "It's a villain...... There was no eye before, so that Ye Langjun was like this...... Ye Langjun, the villain is now served, and he is willing to serve Ye Langjun

Previously, Ye Chang secretly recruited him, but Su Thick Legs was unwilling to serve him, the reason was very simple, after being a slave for a long time, he was really unwilling to do this servant's business anymore.

But this time was different, Ye Chang was afraid of his feelings, and he was afraid that he would be embarrassed and didn't want to see him, so that Su Thick Legs really felt Ye Chang's personal respect for him

Compared with the rest, this kind of respect has not been encountered by Su Thick Leg since he arrived in Datang.

"Huh?"

Ye Chang was a little inexplicable, he had already given up Su Thick's legs, why did he say "Convinced" today

Although I don't understand it, but since the other party has the same intention, of course I can't refuse. Ye Chang helped him up with both hands: "Why do you say this, like-minded, everyone is doing a career together, it can't be said that it is not effective...... Su thick legs, you are good at boating? ”

"The ability of a certain land is only 30% of the skill on the ship." After Su got up, he boasted: "If Lang Jun has a boat with me, it will be easy to make a profit in a year."

"Boat ......," Ye Chang laughed.

This Su thick leg was recruited after repeated tossing, and the reliability is much stronger than that of ordinary people, Ye Chang wants to go to Liaodong, and he needs reliable people to control the sea boat, and with Su thick legs, it can be regarded as another piece of his platter

Lang Jun smiled...... But is there really a ship? Su Thick Legs is very smart, seeing Ye Chang smiling like that, his heart moved, and he asked quite eagerly.

"Exactly, but ...... I'm not a boat that spins in the water, but a sea boat. ”

"Sea vessels?" Su's thick legs' face changed slightly: "Is it really a sea ship?" ”

"Naturally, I intend to go overseas to find immortals and visit the Tao, so I tried to build a sea ship, and now that it has been completed, I just need to recruit people, and I will go down the river to Denglai." Looking at Su Thick Legs, Ye Chang said: "The turmoil on the sea is not comparable to the rivers, Su Thick Legs, what do you think?" ”

"This ......" Su Thick Legs hesitated a little.

"How?"

"As Lang Jun said, the turmoil at sea is not comparable to the river, has Lang Jun built a boat before?"

"Never."

"So...... The sea ship built by Lang Jun has ever tried water in the sea? ”

"Neither has been."

"Have you ever tried it in the river?"

"Still haven't."

"Lang Jun, you can't take your life as a child's play"

Ye Chang Ha laughed: "Su Thick Legs, I am the most afraid of death and the most life-sparing, otherwise I wouldn't want to ask Dao to visit the immortals, do you think that the sea boat I built will be the kind of wind and waves that will break when you beat it?" ”

He spoke loudly above the Luoyang Market, and he was not afraid of being heard by others, Su Kuo's heart moved, and he raised his eyes to look at Ye Chang, but found that Ye Chang was full of energy, as if the boat was a very remarkable thing
