The honest young man who was teased suddenly blushed into a big red cloth, stammered and scratched his ears and cheeks, and explained seriously.

"Shipbuilding, good, good money...... And those tools, all of them, are expensive...... Big, the uncle said, the young lady is, she is a fortune fairy, and a fairy descends to earth...... He, we still want to borrow from you, borrow money......"

Okay, okay, looking at his hard look, the beauty is embarrassed to bully honest people.

In fact, she was very suspicious that when she asked to borrow a boat to travel, the current Huzhou prefect, Lord Lei, deliberately transferred this stammering nephew to take the helm for her.

When you meet such a person, who is embarrassed to calculate?

But if you want to say that this Lei family does have the ability. It is said that he is a descendant of the Mo family, and his craftsmanship is superb, especially in shipbuilding.

It's just that people who love to study technology are not very good at being officials.

If it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Han's devotion to the development of the shipbuilding industry and his request to the emperor to bring Lord Lei, who originally served in the Ministry of Industry, to come, Lord Lei would not be able to develop his hobbies and hobbies in a fake way.

For this reason, he also contributed several talented sons and nephews in the clan.

For example, the young man in front of him, Lei Changgeng.

Even His Royal Highness the King of Han praised him in front of the beautiful girl, don't look at him stammering, he is really a genius.

He may not be able to pass the imperial examination in his life, but when he builds a good ship, His Royal Highness will ensure that he will go straight to the Ministry of Industry, and it is not too much to give him a seven-grade grade.

The beautiful lady who cherishes talents like His Royal Highness no longer teases Lei Changgeng and looks like Pingcheng.

To say that Pingcheng can develop into one of the best prosperous towns in Dayan, in addition to outstanding people, convenient water and land transportation, it is also indispensable.

And unlike the ferry village that was developed in Huzhou, this Pingjiang wharf, which is said to have a history of 1,000 years, is more prosperous and prosperous.

But there are more rules.

The most important one is that all the big ships entering the city must anchor here. It was changed to a lotus boat that allowed people to pass.

It's not that the water isn't wide enough to carry a big boat. Instead, it is also a famous grain wharf in the south of the Yangtze River, especially after the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is the peak period for grain sales. More waterways, naturally, should be reserved for food passage.

There is only one exception, and that is the officials and a few local families.

Needless to say, officials are respectful of others.

Because the family contributes money and efforts every year when dredging the river, and it also benefits the people on weekdays, it is natural that it can also pass.

The guards who went ashore to inquire about the news came back soon, "Young lady, do you want to hang up the signboard of the palace?" The wharf in the middle of the city is very close to the bustling place. If it's our ship, it will arrive in an hour or two. Otherwise, you will have to change the boat, which will take more than half a day. You have to stay overnight on board or ashore before you can leave tomorrow morning. Either you can go ashore and hire a carriage, which can also be reached after dark. ”

The beautiful girl didn't want to disturb the people, and wanted to finish her errands and go home quickly, so she chose to hire a car.

So, the head of the guards, still Xiao Li, who accompanied her out last time, went to prepare the carriage.

This time, it's not that Jiao Guards is exercising newcomers, it's arranged by the beautiful girl.

Now that her baby daughter is at home, Meiniang is really not at ease, so she asked Guard Jiao to stay, protect her daughter, and continue to take Guard Xiao Li out.

What happens when young people make some mistakes? And it won't grow forever.

Xiao Li suffered forty boards last time, and the whole person is much more stable, and he is also very disciplined.

He found an old car dealer with a good reputation, hired a few carriages, and inspected all the coachmen, mules and horses one by one, and then arranged for a guard to follow the carriage.

As for the beautiful lady, it is still the carriage that she brought to the boat, which is cleaner and safer than the one outside, and the horse is better.

As for the boats parked on the docks, they naturally had to be guarded by people to save people from making trouble.

Lei Changgeng volunteered to stay.

He wasn't excited about shopping, but he was quite willing to stay at the docks and study the boats in Jiangnan. I only asked Mei Niang to send someone to the bookstore in the city, and if there were books on shipbuilding, I would bring them to him.

This is easy.

The beautiful lady immediately sent Xiao Guzi who went out with him for the first time, and gave him twenty taels of silver. He was instructed to have a book on engineering agronomy, and he also bought it, and if the money was not enough, he would come back and get it.

"Do you want to buy books? I can take you there, just give me a few bounties. ”

A middle-aged man with shabby clothes but clean washing and gray hair heard them talking and ran over attentively.

Who knew that those newly hired coachmen immediately drove people away.

"Okay, okay, don't cheat here. When you enter the city, where is the bookstore, we will say. Where do you need to spend more? ”

The middle-aged man was driven away and went to find the next business. It's actually a sissy Xiang Dayu who was working at the dock at the beginning, and she is not welcome.

The coachman said, "Young lady, don't think that we are bad-hearted, this Ge Xiucai, his brain is broken when he reads." I have been thinking about what to go to sea and what fairy mountain treasure hunt is coming, from my youth to the present. At first, it was not that no one had funded him, but in less than a month after he returned, he ran out of money and came back in disgrace. No one will believe it anymore, but they will not give up. His wife sued him in the middle of the city all day long, telling everyone not to give him money. At this age, he didn't even marry a daughter-in-law, and he was still thinking about tossing. ”

If that's it, that's it.

When the group entered the city, they found a rather quiet inn because of the coachmen's directions, but the place was a little out of the way.

There's no way around it. When they entered the city, it was late, and the bustling inns in the city were full.

According to the coachman, most people wait until the next morning, when some merchants leave, and then go to these big inns to line up and check in.

The beautiful lady didn't pay much attention to this, seeing that the inn with the coachman was very clean, and the shopkeeper was also very enthusiastic, so she decided to stay here.

But the coachman kindly said, "I see that the young lady seems to be here to do business, if you see some decent people, it is better to change to an inn." The local area is prosperous, and many people are a little dislike the poor and love the rich. If you know that the young lady lives here, it is a very good impression, and it will be reduced by a few points. ”

Mei Niang smiled lightly, "I'm not from a high background, but I was born with a stubborn temper, and I don't like to mess with these vain things the most." I understand your kindness, go to my family to leave a name, and if you have business in the future, I will take care of you. ”

She gave a look, and the maid rewarded a thick red envelope.

The coachman was strange.

This young lady is such a generous person and is not short of money, why can't she be decent?

But he didn't know that when the beautiful girl turned around, she took down the entire inn.

Don't talk about the shopkeeper, the existing guests still ask them to stay, but they don't accept people anymore.

The guards Xiao Li praised the young lady for being smart, although this kind of cost is more expensive than staying in a big inn, but it has more tranquility and tranquility.

Most importantly, this makes the task of patrolling the guards much lighter and their safety more assured.

If you have the heart to have a deep friendship with a beautiful girl, after a little inquiry, can't you understand the details of the beautiful girl?

It's more unique than squeezing into those bustling inns.
