From Ye Chang's mouth, he learned that the newly built sea ship had all kinds of magic, although Su Thick Legs recognized Ye Chang's character very much, but he always felt that these descriptions were unreliable and exaggerated.

Maybe Ye Langjun didn't understand the inside story of shipbuilding at all, and was deceived by a few bold craftsmen? If this is the case, he went to Wuzhi's shipyard, but he wanted to expose the origin of the matter, and don't let Ye Langjun take this risk.

With such a thought, Su came to the boat yard on the bank of the Yellow River.

To his surprise, he did not see a boat in the water, only a huge wall. The wall covers an area of about several acres, and the height is more than ten zhang, and Su is dumbfounded.

"...... this?"

"How?"

"Building such a high wall at the water's edge won't overdo it?"

"Ha Luha, where is the wall, it's the linen curtain raised by the wooden pole, but it is dyed like this, it looks like a wall." Ye Ting said with a smile beside him.

"Why do you have to do that?"

"Naturally, no one can see what is going on inside."

Just to prevent people from seeing the situation inside, he pulled up a ten-foot high linen curtain, which was too extravagant. Su Thick Legs felt more and more that it must be the craftsman who deceived Ye Chang before he did this act of working hard and hurting money.

But inside the wall, Su Thick Legs immediately understood why he covered everything with a curtain.

dockyard

Why Ye Chang shipbuilding can be faster than the shipyard at this time, the dock is one of the important reasons. At this time, shipbuilding often required craftsmen to work in the water, so when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built a shipbuilding expedition to Goguryeo, there was a saying that craftsmen soaked maggots in the water for a long time. But Ye Chang naturally did not make such a mistake, he chose the deep bend of the Yellow River, dug a trench, separated and emptied the river, and then built a trench with masonry and cement, erected a beam on top of the trench, and then began to build a ship under the beam.

The advantage of this is that workers do not have to grope in the water, and as long as there are enough people, they can even work continuously.

This does not require any technical revolution, only ideas, in the history of another life, there will be a dock in the Song Dynasty, and Ye Chang will advance it. He didn't want to be learned by others before his ship was built, so he covered it with a curtain.

Now he doesn't care if he is learned, after all, shipbuilding is a comprehensive project, and it is not enough to only learn how to dock.

"These two ships are what Ye Langjun said...... Ship? ”

After being stunned by the dock for a moment, Su Thick Legs didn't have time to marvel at the wonder of this design, and was attracted by the two oily boats.

Luoyang City originally had a place for shipbuilding and ship repair, but the scale was not as large as that of the south, and Ye Chang purchased old wood from it that had been placed for enough time to build ships. After the boat was built, it was painted with tung oil several times, with linen, fish glue and other sticky seams, and then the oil and lacquer were applied again, although it was not dyed, but because of the huge size far better than the boat in the river at this time, Su Thick Leg still felt a huge shock.

"How, what do you think?" Ye Ying said with a smile.

The suspicion of the boat revealed by Su Thick Legs, they all felt it along the way. Ye Ying and Ye Ting had absolute trust in Ye Chang, and everyone held their breath and only stayed at the scene to let Su Thick Legs admit defeat.

"This, I haven't been on the boat to see it, and I don't know if it's a silver-like wax gun head." Although Su's thick legs inhaled again and again, his mouth was still hard.

Along the gangway on the dock, Ye Chang stepped on the boat, because the smell of paint had not yet been exhausted, so the smell on the boat was still very strong, but Ye Chang didn't care, but looked left and right with interest.

This ship is not exactly his idea, and he mainly relies on the shipwright found by the eldest princess Yuzhen. Although these craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty are unknown in history, they have ingenuity that is not inferior to that of later inventors. Some of the improvement suggestions put forward by Ye Chang have been perfectly reflected in their hands: the hull is as streamlined as possible, the blade-shaped bottom of the boat, the solid keel structure, as well as the watertight cabin, tail rudder, etc. In fact, the keel structure is a major advance in shipbuilding, and this structure is much stronger than the previously spliced hull, whether it is the ability to resist wind and waves or the impact resistance.

"Tsk"

Ye Changzheng was looking around, but he heard laughter and tsk behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Su Thick legs jumping hard. Su had divine power on his thick legs, and when he went down, the deck of the ship only trembled slightly, and the bracket that set up the deck didn't even make a sound.

"Is it firm, Su thick legs?"

"Let's take a look around." Finding that the deck was very firm, Su Thick was still not at ease, he thought about it, he didn't look at the shipyard on the deck, an expert like him, of course, he knew that the shipbuilding was shelter from the wind and rain, and the key was to enter the cabin below the deck.

He searched around, and soon found an iron ring, on which there was still a rope, and when several men pulled it up, it revealed the compartment underneath. This is actually the cargo hold, not the cabin where people enter, but Su didn't care about so many legs, and jumped straight down.

"That guy still doesn't believe in Lang Jun." Ye Ting laughed beside Ye Chang.

Ye Chang also smiled, he didn't care how Su Thick Leg tossed, what really made him nerve-wracking was still to come

Two days later, Wolong Valley.

"You mean, you are going to give up your family business here and go to Liaodong, where I don't know where it is?"

In addition to Ye Chang, there were also Ye Dan, the old patriarch who had semi-retired. Although Ye Dan has let go of the management of the Ye clan for more than a year, today's matter is too important, so he is still present in person.

In addition, there are five people in total, all of whom are there.

There is also Ye Chang's sister-in-law Fang's family, she is a woman, and she can also participate, not entirely because of Ye Chang's face, but more importantly, because of her means. In the past two years, the Ye family's winery and other workshops have been set up, and the prime minister's these things are the Fang family, and almost all the children and nephews in each house are used under the Fang family, and the dividends of the New Year's Festival in each room are also distributed by the Fang family.

Ye Chang understands very well that a small family like himself is his foundation in this life, although the clan bloodline will also fight among themselves, and it is often bloody, but it is still slightly more reliable than ordinary outsiders.

It was Ye Dan who spoke just now, and now people in the four miles and eight towns say that he is no longer Ye Lizheng, but Old Lady Ye - this title really makes him feel majestic.

Therefore, when he heard that Ye Chang was going to start a business in Liaodong, he almost didn't believe his ears.

The Fang clan also looked up in surprise, Ye Chang returned home the night before yesterday, but he didn't reveal this matter to her at all, he just asked about the situation in the other descendants, and inquired very carefully.

The rest of the clan elders were also full of doubts.

"Exactly."

"Good and good, what are you going to Liaodong? The old man still remembers that when he was a child, he heard people sing it, and he died in Liaodong"

"Yes, when Emperor Yang of the former dynasty lost the hearts of the world, one is to dig a canal, and the other is to conquer Liaodong, that barren land, what to get?"

Ye Chang sighed, it is normal for Chinese people to leave their homeland. He coughed, and Ye Dan suddenly waved his hand, signaling the elders of all ethnic groups to calm down.

"Uncles, uncles, there is one thing that everyone still doesn't know." Ye Chang said slowly: "Our Ye family, a catastrophe will come soon."

"Huh?"

Everyone was surprised, Ye Chang had never been a liar, and he had his own reasons for saying this time.

"Eleven Lang, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't curse our own family," Ye Dan said.

"Our Ye family has developed too quickly." Ye Chang smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about my branch, uncle, your clan, in the past three years, the family has earned tens of thousands of yuan, right?" ”

Ye Dan coughed, his old face slightly red.

Ye Chang's "10,000 guan" is actually far more than that, with the light of Ye Chang's great infrastructure construction, there are so many industries, even if it is not up and down, Ye Dan's long house has also received more than 20,000 yuan in more than three years. However, there are many people in the long room, and the average profit is divided, and each branch is thousands of runs, which is not too obvious.

"In the rest of the houses, there are thousands of them in three years. Think about it, everyone, when was it before, when did we not belong to a prestigious family have such benefits? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and an old man muttered: "Let's not break the law, don't hurt morality, and make our money...... Where did the misfortune come from? ”

"Whether it violates the law or not, whether it hurts morality or not, it's not up to us to say it ourselves." Ye Chang shook his head and said: "To tell the truth, one of the biggest benefits of our family is winemaking, which is carefully controlled by my sister-in-law, and the annual income is also 350,000 yuan, this is pure income, our Ye family has no power and power, there is such a big income, everyone think about it, what is the difference between holding gold in the downtown and baby holding gold"

Everyone is silent, although they are villagers and have little knowledge, but the basic human heart still knows the Tao

After a while, Ye Dan said: "Eleven Lang, are you worried that you are not dealing with people from all walks of life, or the nobles of the imperial court, and you have also made a lot of friends, so we have them to help, what are you afraid of?" ”

"When I made friends with nobles, it was to protect our Ye family, or a county order or county lieutenant, we could let our Ye family be defeated, don't say that these officials with rank and rank are the patriarchs of the Liu family, and our Ye family is still in-laws, everyone remembers how they calculated our Ye family at the beginning"

Ye Chang gave an example, and everyone nodded again and again, if Ye Chang hadn't befriended the Yuan Highway at that time, it would have been the Liu family, and the Ye family would not be able to raise their heads ⊥. However, with the death of the Liu family's father and son, the hatred of the Ye and Liu families has been buried, and now the Liu family can even be said to have become a vassal of the Ye family.

"But what if the powerful people I have befriended are also moved by this wealth?" Ye Chang then said

Everyone was terrified: "No...... Wouldn't it, our little money, those nobles can also look at it?

"Nobles also have to support their families, and their families have a big business, and they spend much more than us, and we don't think it's a small amount of money if they need money more...... The first time I entered Chang'an to do football plays, I earned 100,000 yuan a year in Chang'an, but Yuzhen Changgong took the initiative, so I had to quit. Ye Chang gave the first example.

The Ye family looked at each other, all of them looking surprised.

"Take winemaking as an example, our family is small and small, so now winemaking is only such a large scale, it seems that it is 30,000 yuan a year, but if it falls into the hands of a powerful family, it is 300,000 yuan a year and not only such a monstrous wealth, do you say that if it is you, can you do it?

"Then let's just hand it over." Someone muttered.

Ye Chang was immediately annoyed, the thoughts of this clan elder, he knew very well that although Ye Chang did not share the people of the Run clan, but the people's hearts were insufficient, and the other party heard that the income of 30,000 yuan a year, he only got a few thousand, and he was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, and it was not his interests that were lost by handing over the money

"The Ninth Uncle Ancestor said it lightly, and handed it over...... If the other party is still not at ease and wants to kill it, what should I do? Why don't you hand me over too? Hand me over, and a county officer can strip you to the ground, and will you have a good life in this house? ”

Listening to his unceremonious reprimand, the old man of the clan shrank his neck and did not dare to speak any longer.

"Besides, it's not that I didn't hand over the cement formula - I handed over the cement formula, and the imperial court held it and collected hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, so it can be seen that I have the benefit of losing a penny? As a result, last time, the imperial court sent an internal eunuch to summon me to join the army, and the inner eunuch directly asked me for the wine shop, and if I didn't give it, I would call a soldier to kill me. When Ye Chang said this, everyone was shocked, and everyone became nervous: "If he hadn't died on the border, our Ye family would have to suffer this knife."

"Eleven Lang, or we will live in peace, anyway, the money is enough now, so we will fully support you, so that you can become a big official as soon as possible. If you become a big official, no one will dare to covet our family's belongings. ”

Ye Dan had more knowledge than the rest of the clan elders, and came up with a solution at the moment.

Ye Chang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't happen, now the news hasn't arrived, I have offended a big man in the court, and my career will be difficult in the future." ”

"Big shots? What kind of big guy, is it bigger than a princess? ”

"It's still big, the current prince and prime minister."

"Hiss"

Everyone gasped in unison, and after a while, Ye Danhu looked at Ye Chang suspiciously: "Eleven Lang, you ...... Could it be that you are scolding us? ”

"Can you do this kind of thing?" Ye Chang smiled bitterly again: "It's not that I really offended them, it's that someone has accused me of being too profitable." ”

This is a half-truth, if there are really any officials, they will not be able to get past, but these elders of the Ye family have limited knowledge, and they all changed their faces when they thought that Ye Chang was indeed very good at causing trouble.

It's not that no one wants to betray Ye Chang, but Ye Chang then said: "Naturally, I can come out of the court safely, also because there are people behind me to support me, but those people can't move me, and they may not be able to move our Ye family." ”

After these words, the elders of the Ye family finally recognized the situation, but Rao was so, if they wanted them to really accept the relocation, they still needed Ye Chang to add another fire.

So Ye Chang revealed his hole cards at this time: "The old homeland of your clan is difficult to leave, I know very well, and I am the same." Therefore, going to Liaodong is a situation of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and the young and strong people in the clan are dispatched to follow me, and some of them are really unwilling to go, and they must stay in Xiuwu to guard the family business, what do you elders think? ”
