After staying in Mocheng for two days, Song Jilin finally couldn't bear it anymore and offered his farewell.

He really couldn't stand it, he originally thought that the son of the Song family would come to Dongfan in person, and with such sincerity, he would definitely be able to exchange for the preferential treatment of this short-haired king.

Not to mention doing more business, at least try your best to entertain, right?

But since the summons of that day, he and Song Derong were thrown into a guest room.

This room only has a small window to see out, and if you want to go out, you can only move around in a small area.

Every day is eating, sleeping and, and even if you want to take a bath, you have to inform Yan Zheng.

He kind of understood that in the eyes of these Dongfan people, there is only business, and there is no so-called human relationship.

After enduring two days and asking to see him many times to no avail, Song Jilin chose to leave and return to the Song family, and his heart was also inexplicably angry.

"Hey, this short-haired is really rude!" Sitting on the bamboo raft on the return trip, Song Jilin nested in the fire road.

Song Derong had already gotten used to it, so he only said: "Dongfan entertains people like this, no matter what your identity is, presumably for them, we are Ming people!"

Song Jilin knocked his hand with a fan: "It's a pity that I ran away like this in vain, I originally thought that I could make friends with this short-haired king!" Looking at it now, if you want to continue to do the fur business, you can only let the silver speak! ”

Song Derong also sighed, he had never met such a lord, even those barbarians in Nanyang would talk to them about some human feelings.

For Fujian maritime businessmen, human favor is an important part of business, and business without human favor not only increases the cost of mutual trust, but also has the possibility of not being able to do it for a long time.

"Now I can only work harder! If other wealthy businessmen find this side one day later, we will make one more profit! Song Derong said.

Song Jilin nodded, thought about it with his eyes and said, "Uncle Song, this short-haired recruiter can reclaim so many fields, can we also recruit some displaced people and transport them to Dongfan to reclaim fertile land?"

"I've thought about this too, but it's too difficult!" Song Derong pointed to the dense forests on both sides of the river and said: "In these dense forests, there is a miasma of smoke, and if there is no help from the barbarians, I am afraid it will be difficult to start!"

Song Jilin lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then knocked on the fan and said, "It may not be possible!" If the homeless people have something to eat, they will follow us. All we need to do is transport them to the dog-beating neighborhood and befriend the brutes over there!" ”

"But over there to beat dogs, there were also people who went up to avoid the wind in the early years, and the barbarians over there were very cruel, and they were used to headhunting!"

"Uncle Song, since the barbarians around Mocheng can learn to trade, why can't the barbarians in other places?" Song Jilin sneered and said, "In my opinion, as long as we offer salt, iron, and cloth, it doesn't necessarily mean that those barbarians won't buy it!"

"And!" Song Jilin glanced at the direction of Mo Cheng with pity, "The rest of the barbarians may not be able to collect the fur for us!" ”

Song Derong was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable, you might as well gamble!" There is also a river on the other side of the dog, choose a suitable river, drive a few old boats, use this as a basis, and then recruit displaced people, build houses, and cultivate acres of land! As long as you stand still......"

Song Jilin smiled faintly: "When the time comes, our Song family may not be able to have 10,000 acres of fertile land on this Dongfan Island, if it is managed properly, I am afraid that this place will have the surname Song!"

Song Derong said kindly: "It's really worth a try, it only costs a few thousand taels of silver, if we really make the bet right, it can be regarded as a cunning rabbit three holes, at least we can get a source of fur!"

Song Jilin shook off the fan complacently and said: "The matter is man-made, in the past, it was rumored that Dongfan was full of smoke and miasma, and it was cruel!" But who would have thought that we could get so much fur in Dongfan. And if this short hair can recruit disaster victims and cultivate fertile land, why can't we? ”

"Okay, after I go back, as long as the young master mentions it to the master, I will definitely support it!"

"In this way, thank you Uncle Song!"

……

Just as the two were talking, a bamboo raft sailed up from their side.

The two looked over in unison and found that the people on the bamboo raft were also looking at them, and the eyes of the two groups of people were full of doubt.

After the bamboo raft ran away, Song Jilin came back to his senses and said, "That'...... People, is there such a person in Zhangzhou? ”

"I've never seen it!"

"Did they find this side?" Song Jilin was stunned: "Impossible! It stands to reason that no matter how fast it is, it can't be so fast! ”

"Could it be that there is a spy among our people?"

"Don't be careful! Gotta get the news back! ”

Song Jilin instantly understood why this short-haired man despised him so much.

And Zhang Xi, who went over just now, was also confused, he didn't expect that this short-haired king also had fornication with other businessmen.

In this way, such a designed chance encounter ended in such a hurry.

Without knowing it, the two groups of people learned that this short-haired king had the confidence to raise his feet and kick people.

On the other side, Yan Zheng was in the red room, humbly asking two shipbuilders.

These two masters, one is called Liu Chengyun and the other is Lin Zhaocai.

Liu Chengyun is proficient in writing and ink, and he has information on all kinds of ships at his fingertips, but his hands-on ability is basically zero.

And Lin Zhaocai doesn't know a single word, but he has more than 30 years of shipbuilding skills.

When talking about the 400 material ship, Liu Chengyun talked eloquently: "The 400 material ship, generally 8 zhang 6 feet 9 inches long and 1 zhang 7 feet wide, requires more than 120 craftsmen, and it can be built in four or five months!" The material is mostly hardwood, if you don't want to be durable, you can use ordinary wood, but only once or twice ......"

Yan Zheng and Lin Zhaocai both listened with admiration, and they were not qualified to interject at all.

After he finished speaking, Yan Zhengcai exclaimed: "Mr. Liu is so proficient in shipbuilding, he should be called Liu Gong!"

Liu Chengyun smiled, only felt that the bald head was coming, and his heart was extremely comfortable, and said: "If the king wants to build a ship, he only needs to get together the materials of manpower, and I guarantee that within half a year, I will definitely be able to help the king build it!"

"Very good!" Yan Zheng high-fived and praised, he was really said to be moved, he has been listening to these two people talk about shipbuilding for the past two days, Liu Chengyun's words, and what he said is the Tao, he subconsciously thinks that this is a treasure.

"Lin Zhaocai, what about you!"

Lin Zhaocai was stunned, and it took a long time before he said, "Big ...... If the king wants to build a ship, as long as I build it, I can't make a mistake! ”

Yan Zheng couldn't help but smile, took out a drawing and said, "Let's see if you can build this ship!"

Liu Chengyun glanced at the drawings when he saw them, his face was silent, but he secretly complained in his heart.

The short-haired painting was too rough, and he had never seen this boat-shaped!

After looking at it for a while, Liu Chengyun stiffened his head and smiled: "The ship that the king wants is really exquisite, and you can see from this drawing that this ship is ...... This ship is wide and narrow, and the stern is slightly weak, and the structure is very reasonable! ”

After that, he handed the drawings to Lin Zhaocai, and he was busy continuing to pat himself.

Lin Zhaocai looked at it and asked, "King, why is there no insert plate deeper than the keel at the middle line of this ship!"

"Oh, what's this plugboard?"

"The king doesn't know!" Liu Chengyun hurriedly answered: "This plug-in board can play a role in slowing down the swing and drifting, whether it is a Guangzhou ship, a Fu ship, or a Zhejiang ship, there is such a structure!" I look at the king's ship, the structure is reasonable, and there must be no need to ......"

"Then add it!" Yan Zheng interrupted Liu Chengyun's words.

Lin Zhaocai nodded, looked at it upside down and said, "The king has seen this ship before, and the shape of this ship is very strange!"

"This ship is a brig!" Yan Zheng replied that this was the only sailboat he knew, and the other was a flying clipper.

These two vessels, in 100,000 whys, are used to illustrate how a sailboat can sail against the wind and why a sailboat can run faster than a steamer.

After Lin Zhaocai listened, he looked at the drawings and fell into deep thought.

Liu Chengyun continued to observe the words and expressions on the side, and scratched his itchy scalp from time to time.

"You two, you can use small wood to build a model first!"
