Xiang Bei returned to the inn, and it happened that several people did not go out. Xiang Bei asked them what they were doing idlely, and they didn't play with a landlord.

What is a kite curious to fight a landlord?

Xiang Bei said that it was nothing, just a kind of entertainment, and taught her to play another day.

Kite asked him again why he came back so soon?

Xiang Bei told her: "I came back to look for you, I was with your brother at the city gate, and suddenly an injured person ran from the giant wood forest. Your brother said that the man was your uncle, and now he is in the hospital. ”

"My uncle, which uncle, in which hospital?" Kite asked anxiously.

Xiang Bei said that he didn't know which uncle she was, anyway, Feng Yilei said that it was called Mingji, and he didn't ask the specifics. Tell her that people can't die, so that she doesn't have to worry, it's in the biggest hospital in the city.

"Then I'll pass. The kite ran out in a hurry, Xiang Bei asked Hao Pang to follow, don't get lost.

The two of them left, and Chu Jingtian asked Xiang Bei what he was going to do in this jade water?

Xiang Bei thought for a while: "It doesn't matter if you tell Uncle Chu, I want to build ships and warships." Yushui City is the only city along the river, and the shallow water here is just right. If it is upstream, the bridge in Yushui City will have to be demolished and the river channel will have to be deepened, otherwise the boat will not be able to cross, and my boat will enter the sea. ”

Chu Jingtian was surprised when he heard this: "You want to build a warship? What does a warship look like? No one in this world has ever fought on a ship." ”

Xiang Bei said: "Naval battle, a new term to you, but I think the Xuantian Empire is already preparing. Otherwise, the sea navigation event will not be added to the second soldier competition. If my guess is correct, the reason why there are so many dead people in the sea training of the Blue Sea Country is that the Xuantian Empire is playing ghosts. And in the end, they didn't leave the strongest in the second soldier competition, maybe they left the best performance in sea sailing. They are preparing a navy. Just speculation, of course. ”

"Why?"

"Because on the other side of the sea, there are people you don't know. Maybe one day, they will come and fight with us for this land. Trust me, there's no one over there who can't say anything about it. ”

"Where's the other side of the sea?"

"Far, far away, where you can't reach with your abilities. But it's not like it never happens. ”

"Then how can the Xuantian Empire know this?"

"Soldier B, I don't believe that there are people in this world who can be like gods without being on the battlefield. Unless that bastard writes a prequel to this book, he knows everything. It's not surprising that this kind of character knows anything. Xuantian knows more secrets than we do. ”

"The prequel to this book?" Chu was completely blindsided.

Xiang Bei laughed, but he didn't explain, can you tell him that he is just a character in the world of his novel? Of course not, he doesn't believe it.

Tell the heavens to rest, and go around by yourself.

Chu Jingtian grabbed the wine jug: "I'll go with you, now that everyone is gone, what am I doing here, there is no one to fight a landlord." ”

"Haha, Uncle Chu, you learn pretty fast, let's go. ”

The two left, and after leaving the city, Xiang Bei took Chu Jingtian straight to the east, and soon entered a no-man's land.

Looking at the empty farmland in winter, Xiang Bei asked Chu Jingtian how about his shipyard here? The river here is not deep or shallow, so it should be very appropriate to build the dock at a distance of 100 meters by the river.

"What is the dock?" Chu Jingtian didn't understand.

"Where you build ships, don't you need a dock for shipbuilding here?" Xiang Bei was curious, didn't there even be a dock here.

Chu Jingtian said no, just make a boat by the river, and roll it into the river with a log after it is done.

"It's an ordinary ship, it's small, and the battleship is tired to death. If we have the chance, we have to go to Xuantian and get some information on shipbuilding, and I won't be able to build ships, although the warships in this world are not complicated. ”

"How is it possible? If Xuan Tian is really building a warship, and it is built in secret, you will definitely not be able to get other people's information. Not to mention the warships, even the ordinary big ships of the Blue Sea Country, they refuse to take out the information. You can't buy it. ”

"It's a matter of people, so you just say how about here, right?"

"It's a nice place, it's close to the city, and it's easy to get anything you need. And the giant wood forest is just across the river, so you can have as much wood as you want. ”

"Wood wasn't my final material, but I had to work with wood in the beginning. Uncle Chu, can you give me an estimate of how much money you get? The factory is not counted, only the labor and materials of a ship. How much does a ship cost if it's a 100-foot ship?"

"About ten gold coins. ”

"So cheap?"

"Two silver coins a month for carpentry is enough, wood does not cost money, and with the token of the princess, you can cut it at will. The rest is canvas, with some miscellaneous iron, mainly iron is expensive. ”

"Wood is still free. In my hometown, wood is precious, not cheaper than iron. I didn't expect to be like this here, but my ultimate goal is to be an Iron Armor. ”

"Ironclad battleship, how is it possible, how can an iron ship float on water. Chu Jingtian's face was full of disbelief.

Xiang Bei said that he still didn't understand, iron could float. But there's no need for all iron, just clad iron. The main thing is to withstand the vibration of the artillery and not to be pierced by bows and arrows.

"What is artillery?"

"You'll know later, a weapon of mass destruction for attack. ”

"Sir, it's amazing. ”

"Don't talk about that, come and help me measure this land, and I'll have to plan it when I go back. ”

Xiang Bei took out the ruler from his backpack, Chu was shockingly funny, he didn't see him buying anything on the way, which means that before coming, this ruler was ready.

While measuring and recording, the two of them did not return to the city until dark. Didn't go to the inn, they went straight to the infirmary. Naruyoshi hadn't woken up yet, but there was a strange old man talking to Feng Yilei here.

Seeing Xiang Bei come back, Feng Yilei got up: "Big brother, you are here, this is the city lord of Yushui City." ”

Xiang Bei Shili: "Hello City Lord, how come the City Lord has time to come here?"

The city lord replied, "The soldiers reported to me that the Wind Commander had come to Yushui City, and I had come. It's just that I've just returned to the city, and I've gone to the countryside to comfort the villagers in need, after all, the winter festival is coming. ”

"The lord of the city really loves the people like a son. The adults came just in time, and I happened to have something I wanted to discuss with them. ”

The city lord looked at the wind and thunder, and said in his heart Who is this thing, and he actually wants to discuss things with himself. I just gave Feng Yilei face and said a few words to him, but I didn't come to him, I came to find Feng Yilei.

Feng Yilei reacted: "Look at me, I forgot to introduce my eldest brother." The eldest brother is the princess's advisor, and he follows the princess every day to give advice to the princess. ”

"It turned out to be the princess's advisor, and the gentleman has something to tell me, and that's it. "The city lord's attitude immediately improved a lot, and the people around the princess, even if they don't have an official position, their status is very high.

Xiang Bei said that it was nothing, he just wanted a piece of land, all the land after five miles east of the city.
