"You're Wong Bing Sang? The shopkeeper of the Shuanglin Shipyard? An official dressed in regular clothes walked out and asked Huang Bingsheng.

Seeing that the official was asking himself, Huang Bingsheng nodded hurriedly.

Lian Sheng said: "Xiaomin is the shopkeeper of this shipyard, Huang Bingsheng, my lord... What is it that you want to seek for the little people? ”

"A few days ago, His Majesty had a decree to summon shipyard treasurers and major craftsmen of a certain scale, technology, or reputation to the capital to face the saints, and the expenses were borne by the imperial court. Would you like to take a trip? ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Bingsheng's head shook like a drum in an instant, and said: "Xiaomin, this shipyard is not so much a factory, but a workshop... How can it be counted, the shipyard run by the government is far better than the small people's factory. ”

"Although you are not large enough, the official has heard... Shuanglin Shipyard has a good reputation among fishermen in the vicinity, and many fishermen from other places are willing to come here to build new boats. ”

Huang Bingsheng was a little embarrassed, but still said: "Xiaomin is ashamed, in recent years, it has all relied on the help of nearby fishermen, otherwise my small factory may have been unable to operate." ”

"This matter is up to you... Entering the capital to face the saint, what a great favor this is, I have to say. Your luck, even the official is envious! ”

After the official finished speaking, he scattered around and looked around.

Huang Bingsheng wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the official waving his hand, and the official only said: "Three days later, the Quanzhou Mansion will see you!" ”

Huang Bingsheng looked bitter, and although he was a little excited to be able to face the saint, he still said with some worry.

"Shouldn't it be that the emperor has taken a fancy to my small workshop... But it's unlikely, the emperor is rich all over the world, what in the world is not the emperor's? ”

When I returned to the workshop.

The surrounding craftsmen all noticed that there was something wrong with the expression of their shopkeeper, and one of the craftsmen was named Zhao Wu, whose craftsmanship was the best.

Immediately approached and said, "Shopkeeper, what's the matter... Why is it so sullen when you go out, isn't there business that hasn't been picked up? Want me to say. They don't choose our Shuanglin Shipyard to build fishing boats, it's their loss! Blind as a bat! ”

"It's not. That's not the case! Alas! It's complicated. ”

Zhao Wu was even more puzzled, and so were many craftsmen around.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on?"

"The emperor has an order to summon the treasurers and craftsmen of the private shipyard to enter Beijing to face the saint, and the person who came just now is the official of the Quanzhou Mansion, and asked me to go to Quanzhou Mansion in three days."

Hiss... As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped.

All the craftsmen put down their work and gathered around.

"The shopkeeper's. That's a great thing! Entering the capital to face the saint, this is a blessing cultivated by the ancestors for many generations! ”

"It's just.. In the final analysis, we are just ordinary people, even the prefect of Quanzhou may not have seen the emperor..! Shopkeeper.. If you have this chance, you must go! ”

Everyone talked about it, but the words that came out of their mouths were still inseparable from a theme, that is, to persuade the shopkeeper of his family to go to the capital to meet the current saint.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper said, "As the saying goes... There is no wind and no waves, how can the emperor know a little person like me, what I'm afraid of is that there are some other things to do in the capital this time..."

The official just said that the emperor had issued a holy decree.

But they didn't say what they were going to do when they went to the capital after this holy decree came down, and the distance between Shuntian Mansion and Quanzhou Mansion was not close.

Back and forth, the shopkeeper was worried that he didn't know what would happen.

I am even more worried that it will miss the shipyard's business and the current construction period.

"Shopkeeper, no matter what... The people don't fight with the officials, since the emperor has a will to summon our group of ordinary people into Beijing, there must be a plan. ”

"But? In the factory..."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he lowered his head and was silent.

The craftsmen on the side didn't understand that the shopkeeper of his house had been shaken by what they said, and the officials of Quanzhou Mansion had already come to the door.

The shopkeeper himself knows in his heart that he may no longer have the right to refuse.

"Shopkeeper, don't worry, during the time you went to the capital, there was me in the factory!" It was Zhao Wu who spoke, that is, the best craftsman in the factory.

But when this sentence was just spoken, Huang Bingsheng raised his head and said with a bitter face: "This time I entered the Beijing Face Saint, not only me, but also you... Go too! ”

Zhao Wu was stunned.

His eyes widened instantly, and he said in disbelief: "Shopkeeper! What do you say? I'm going too? I'm just a craftsman, where can I meet the saints! ”

"The adults who came to invite me to Beijing made it very clear, if you want me to bring the best craftsmen in our factory to go to the capital with me, isn't the best craftsmanship in our factory Zhao Wu?"

Huang Bingsheng's words made Zhao Wu suffer in an instant.

It didn't take long for Huang Bingsheng to put his hand on Zhao Wu's shoulder and said, "This matter.. I'm afraid that by now, I can't hide anyway, so let's go with this shopkeeper, so I can still take care of it. ”

Zhao Wu's eyes were red, not because of anything else.

It's because he was so excited in his heart at the moment that he stumbled and couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Shopkeeper . . . We. Zhao Wu, you can also.. It's time to enter Beijing and face the saint! ”

Zhao Wu, who was crying bitterly, knelt on the ground of the workshop, and he didn't care about any wood chips, although the craftsmen on the side were somewhat envious in their eyes.

But they also understand.

In these years, from Quanzhou to Shuntian, I don't know how much trouble I will encounter along the way, and it is not a simple matter to go far away.

A few more days passed.

Zhao Wu, who happily introduced himself to the villagers and was about to enter Beijing, was waiting for the carriage at the entrance of the village, and Huang Bingsheng, the shopkeeper, would go to Quanzhou Mansion with him.

Although their Shuanglin shipyard is also in Quanzhou Province.

But there is still a long way to go.

"Zhao Wu! Get on the carriage! ”

A galloping carriage stopped steadily at the entrance of the village, and the villagers on the side looked at Zhao Wu with shocked faces, and said in disbelief: "Zhao Wu! You're really out of luck! If you meet the Holy One, you must praise a few more words!! ”

"Our current good days are all given by the Holy God!"

Zhao Wu waved his hand.

turned around and got into the carriage, Huang Bingsheng was already waiting in the carriage.

"Zhao Wu, have you packed up your things? We don't know when we'll be able to come back this time. ”

Zhao Wu nodded and said, "Shopkeeper!" Don't worry, I've got it all covered! ”
