Chapter 659: The sea is big, my heart is small
"Oh......" Captain Jack sighed softly and carefully picked up the black pearl, "Xiao, you see that the sea is so big, but my heart is only so small, when there is one woman living in it, there is no room for any other woman." ”
"We have an ancient saying in China, which is called that a lover will eventually become a family, and I am willing to send this sentence to you as a blessing." Xiao Chen said.
"Thank you." Captain Jack put his hand to his heart and bowed slightly to Xiao Chen.
"Take care." Xiao Chen clenched his fists and arched his hands.
Xiao Chen is truly grateful to these brave pirates, if it weren't for their heroic battles, it is really difficult to predict what the outcome of the battle will be.
These pirates kept their promises, and Xiao Chen naturally had to repay them doubly.
And he will be rewarded even more generously......
Xiao Chen didn't forget the confidante on Paradise Island, he brought her a rich gift, in fact, the gift is not important, the important friendship is important.
I have to say that Xiao Chen is really too affectionate.
Gongsun Ban and their shipyards were all transferred to Shunfeng Port, and there were several large shipyards built by the Rus in Shunfeng Port, and Xiao Chen naturally accepted them all honestly and unceremoniously.
The shipyard was fully equipped, and there were ten battleships in the dockyard that had already been keeled and decked.
The Ross craftsmen who built ships in the dockyard were all forcibly left behind by Xiao Chen, these technical talents must not be let go easily, Xiao Chen's generosity is also limited, okay?
Many great craftsmen were reluctant to help Xiao Chen build warships, because they could figure out with their noses that these warships would be used against the Rus fleet in the future.
Xiao Chen took their request very seriously and called them together for a friendly negotiation.
He promised that these craftsmen would not have to be involved in the construction of the warship, but they would provide the drawings and techniques for shipbuilding, and if the Gongsun Ban encountered any problems, they would help solve them as consultants.
And their specific job is to build some large cargo ships, passenger ships, and various transport ships, of course, in terms of treatment, Xiao Chen also gave very generous treatment.
The Ross craftsmen were very satisfied with Xiao Chen's attitude, and readily agreed to this condition.
Xiao Chen recruited all the shipbuilders in Yanyun County and let more than a dozen docks start, and now he really needs large warships.
The strength of the Yanyun Naval Division is too weak, and the existing small warships can only fight in the near sea, and the theoretical combat radius is only about 100 miles at most, while what Xiao Chen wants is a powerful ocean-going fleet.
A fleet capable of conquering the world.
The fleet is not yet there, but Xiao Chen already has the best admiral in the world.
Dugulou, Wu Hanming, Yue Zhonglin, Yibu, Zayama Geharu, Yokoto Saburo, Momotaro, and Chen Longhu.
To say that Chen Longhu not only has a grudge against Xiao Chen, but also has a grudge against the three of Zuoshan George, because the Yizhou sailor has also fought with them before.
They used to be proper enemies of each other, but now they have become comrades-in-arms, so it is really unpredictable to talk about the world!
What's interesting is that Qian Yunfei still knows these people, because they have really fought face-to-face, and when they meet here at the moment, do they all feel weird?
Hearing that the Dragon King of the Sea died, Qian Yunfei was quite emotional, after all, Nanchen Zhongtian is also a generation of heroes.
But why are you still following Xiao Chen, my boss?
Mt. George said that we are called abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, and the situation is similar to yours.
Xiao Chen is also our boss...... No, no, Mr. Shangguan is our boss, and our boss and your boss are brothers, so we will all be our own people in the future, and don't mention the previous things.
Qian Yunfei said that you are really awesome, if you have a Shangguan who gives up his illness and becomes the boss, he will definitely not be sick in this life, and he can live to be 100 years old.
The conversation was also very pleasant, but Xiao Chen did not let Qian Yunfei join the navy, but appointed him as the commander of the Yanyun merchant fleet.
In the future, the maritime trade will be handed over to Yunfei you, how important this is to our Yanyun, I don't say that you Yunfei also knows......
Xiao Chen: This is to make the best use of people, and there is no doubt about employing people.
Because at present there are hundreds of large and small freighters, and all of them can sail to the sea, and most of them are from the Rus'...... I would like to express my deep gratitude to them.
With such a large fleet, he directly handed it all over to Qian Yunfei to manage, and this trust also moved Qian Yunfei a lot.
After gladly agreeing, he also put forward a condition, that is, some small warships were needed to escort the escort, and he had seen the power of these small warships with his own eyes, and he had already deeply liked them.
Xiao Chen said, Yunfei, don't you know that these small warships can't sail far?
Qian Yunfei said that this is not a problem, we can carry these small warships on the deck of large cargo ships, and then build a lifting equipment on the deck, which can be used to load and unload goods in peacetime, and put these small warships down to fight when they encounter danger......
Xiao Chenxin said that this is okay? Find Gongsun Ban and ask, don't say it's really good!
Heck, if that's the case, then in the future, when we have large warships, won't we be able to carry these small warships?
Gongsun Ban said that it is theoretically feasible, but the battleship is very different from the freighter, and we have to go back to the big guy to discuss and study it......
Shunfeng City has Fu Yan in political affairs, and Dugulou in the military, Xiao Chen doesn't have to worry about it, and he will return to Changshan Prefecture after staying for a few days.
I came to say hello to Old Man Chen first, but I was stunned when I saw him...... Why is your hair black, old man? It's about rejuvenation!
"Don't talk nonsense, it's dyed, I didn't want to dye it, but if they say that my hair is too white, it will be unenergetic, and it will make people below think I'm old and mediocre......" Chen Jisheng explained.
"Who said that?" Xiao Chen wondered, "You were full of silver threads before, and you looked at it with a lot of energy." ”
"Huh? Oh, it was Yue'er who said that. Chen Jisheng said.
"Who?" Xiao Chen looked dazed.
"It's that Lin Shuangyue, you forgot?" Chen Jisheng said in his heart, why do you have such a poor memory when you are young?
"Oh...... It's Sister Lin. "Xiao Chenxin said that Lin Shuangyue is Lin Shuangyue, what other month?
"I don't think she's a good name, there's only one moon in the sky, where are the two moons? So I discussed with her and changed it to Lin Yue'er. Chen Jisheng said.
"Mmmm, Yue'er is a good name." Xiao Chenxin said that I have only been gone for a few days? You old man knows how to admire the moon......
By the way, Lin Shuangyue ...... Ah no, Lin Yue'er will serve your old man, okay?
"Okay, very good, Yue'er is diligent and capable, knowledgeable, I think it's better than Xiangqin!" Chen Jisheng complained to Xiao Chen, "The girl is outgoing, sure enough, the old saying is true, this girl just came back from White Dragon City and didn't stay for a day before she went to Jinsha City to see Yuntian, hum, it's a shame that the old man still misses her so much!" ”
Xiao Chenxin said Old man, you are wrong, what a smart person Xiangqin is, he must have seen that you have Sister Lin by your side, and he doesn't want to interfere with your two-person world, so he left under the pretext of leaving ......
