When Lin Ran arrived in Jiangxia City, he happened to meet Huang Zu training by the river, so he didn't enter the city, but just sent someone to Huang Zu's flagship to report it, and was led to him by Huang Zu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Ran told Huang Zu about his idea of renting a fighting ship, and Huang Zu asked, "Xiaobai, why are you renting a fighting ship?" ”

Lin Ran said: "Isn't there a rampant water thief in Yangzhou recently, our ship in Yangzhou is small, and the combat effectiveness is relatively weak, if there is a ship like a fighting ship to help, the battle to exterminate the water thieves will be much easier." "I knew that Huang Zu would have such a question, and Lin Ran had already made up a reason on the way here.

Huang Zu thought for a moment and showed a look of embarrassment: "Although I am managing this fleet, if it is leased to the outside, I am still very embarrassed. It's better to go to Jiangxia City Taishou Mansion to apply, and then I'll tell them again, it's better to say this. ”

Lin Ran was a little strange, this Jiangxia City Taishou Mansion is not up to you, why do you want him to make an extra trip like this?

But since Huang Zu said so, Lin Ran could only make one more trip, went to Jiangxia City's Taishou Mansion, and found the official in charge of managing the Jiangxia fleet.

The official glanced at Lin Ran and said directly; "The fighting ship is right, you can borrow it, but you have to pay a rent, the rent of an ordinary warship is ten taels of silver a day, and the fighting ship is naturally much more expensive, one hundred taels a day."

Lin Ran laughed angrily, this guy, no wonder this Huang Zu wants to let himself come to this Taishou Mansion to run around, it turns out that he can't wipe his face and raise the rent with himself, so he came here.

This, really, it seems that Huang Zu has a bold appearance, but in fact, he is also a person who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, and he can't borrow this fighting ship without paying a price.

"Okay, I'll borrow it for ten days." Lin Ran said with a burst of pain, a fighting ship is one hundred taels of silver a day, and ten days is one thousand taels, if you want to use this money, it is really like flowing water, but if you want to earn it, it is not so easy.

Lin Ran transported the fighting ship that had been brought with a lot of money back to Xiaobai Village, and this huge warship immediately attracted the entire village of people to watch, and even the people from the nearby Daqin Village and Yuehua Village rushed over to watch.

The tall and domineering hull is more than three times the length of the small village's boat, and the boat is equipped with sails and ballistas, so it can not only move in rivers and rivers, but also in large lakes such as Poyang Lake.

Xu Ge was temporarily invited by Lin Ran to live in Xiaobai Village, providing the best inn rooms and food, and designing the drawings of this fighting ship for Xiaobai Village.

Every day, many players come to the dockyard to watch the huge warship, record various videos and take photos, and the news that Xiaobaicun has a fighting ship quickly spreads and spreads to the website.

This huge and domineering warship quickly attracted the attention of many people, especially some Yangzhou players.

The forces that have a good relationship with Xiaobai Village and Xiaobai Alliance have sent congratulations, while some forces that are a little jealous and hostile to Xiaobai Village are a little sour.

"Isn't it a fighting ship? One by one, like a dirt bun, I have never seen the same, and it won't be long before our alliance can make it. ”

"Can the Little White Alliance build a fighting ship? That's impossible! Fighting ships are battleships that can only be built by high-level villages, and craftsmen from middle-level villages can't make them at all. ”

"Little White Alliance, this is a shell made by light to bluff people."

Lin Ran was also a little dissatisfied with this situation, the development of the fighting ship should have been absolutely confidential, but Xiaobai Village now has only one dock, which is both commercial and military, and the daily flow of people is huge, in this case, the progress of Xiaocun's development of the fighting ship is naturally directly exposed to the hands of the players who are doing good.

"A military ferry crossing must be built to enhance the secrecy and security of the dock." Lin Ran thought of it and did it immediately, and immediately arranged for people to select a suitable harbor in the river area near Xiaobai Village and build a military dock in Xiaobai Village.

If the dockyard is built, Xiaobai Village will also build a new shipyard here, and if it is to be built, it will be built on a larger scale than the previous shipyard.

The construction of this new dock and shipyard will take almost half a month, and it will be ready to be built in the new shipyard just after the design drawings of the fighting ship come out.

Lin Ran has been running in the newly built dock and the dock in Xiaobai Village for the past few days, and he is very busy, but Lin Ran has not forgotten that there is also a beast trainer in the village who owes him five hundred taels of silver for him to send at will.

The reason why Lin Ran spent a lot of effort to bring this beast trainer back from Nanban was that he actually had a lot of ideas in his heart.

All the small villages in Yangzhou have always used manpower to cultivate the fields, and the only way to improve the efficiency of farming is to improve the tools of farming, and the effect is not very obvious.

But if there were cattle, everything would be solved. The efficiency of using oxen to plough the field is definitely far greater than that of manpower.

It's just that Lin Ran hasn't found a way to tame the bison all this time, so he has been shelving this plan.

If Hao can help him tame enough ploughing cattle, then the grain output of Xiaobai Village will be at least double next month, which is definitely the biggest harvest of Lin Ran's trip to the South Barbarians.

"Tame the bison? There is no problem with this. "For domesticated animals, Hao has an almost obsessive love, isn't it bison? It's a piece of cake for him.

"But how much can I pay for taming a bison for you?" Hao asked Lin Ran more cautiously. There is no freedom in debt, and Hao Geng also hopes to pay off Lin Ran's debt as soon as possible.

Lin Ran said: "If you tame a ploughing ox, I will offset the debt of ten taels of silver for you." ”

"Ten taels?" Hao Geng nodded, in this case, he only needs to tame fifty bison, for him, this will not take half a year, it is more cost-effective, he will actually only tame beasts, if it is to do other work, I don't know when and what month he will be able to pay off the five hundred taels of silver.

Lin Ran saw Hao's more relaxed expression, and there was a sneer from a ruthless capitalist in his heart, this kid must have thought too well.

Although he promised to give Hao Geng a salary of ten taels of silver for each cow tamed, Hao Geng now lives in a single room in the most high-end inn in Xiaobai Village, and eats the high-end dishes of Pan An Restaurant, which costs several taels of silver a day, and in the end, it is actually beyond his means.

However, Lin Ran didn't tell him these first, and said that it was difficult to make a frugality from luxury, and after Hao Geng's body and stomach were spoiled, Lin Ran would slowly settle this account with him. (To be continued.) )
