Governor Cheng was shocked, Li Shushen is really not simple, he even knows the hidden forces behind those merchants clearly?

How can you not see through it, those people are deliberately targeting him, the prefect, and it seems that it is impossible for him to be sloppy.

So Zhengse said: "Oh, it's not, it's precisely because of the forces behind them that those people don't take the local government seriously, and the safety of the people is just a bargaining chip for them to play with each other."

Li Xiaogongzi doesn't know if he understands, the more upstream the river basin, the more serious the floods, many places where the houses are washed away, people are displaced, and there is no food.

The government is short of ships to deliver supplies to the affected areas, and the merchants have refused to lend them on the grounds that the ships are too much to use.

When you want to build a ship to assist, the timber is stuck again, and now not only the government, but also Li Gongzi's business can't continue.

The official thinks that the two sides might as well join forces to break through those conspiracies and tricks and provide timely relief to the victims.

Xiao Li Gongzi, I don't know if there are any good ideas. "Governor Cheng didn't hide it anymore, and directly stated the purpose.

"Yes, Xiao Li Gongzi, you must find a way to solve the problem, otherwise those people will be too pitiful.

Those merchants are also really hateful, they simply have no conscience, they dare not commit crimes against the wind on grain, so they jam the transport.

They have a good reason, it is really difficult for those big ships to walk in the flood against the current, but they don't say that they must not work, but they just want to raise the price.

The price of timber has also risen more than tenfold, and the two construction companies also bought timber at a high price, just to avoid falling into the market. ”

However, how could the government allocate so much money at once? The scope of the disaster was extensive, and the rescue was carried out slowly, and the old clerk sighed again and again.

"If there is no wood, then I wonder if there is bamboo?" Li Shushen's face was waveless, and he drank boiled water very indifferently.

"What? Do you want to build a big ship out of bamboo? The old clerk's eyes widened in surprise.

Governor Cheng also frowned, "Bamboo can't work, right?" Bamboo is hollow and very light, and it is common to make bamboo rafts.

But how do you make a big ship and carry the weight of the hull without covering it? Not to mention other goods. ”

How does he feel that these two children are playing at home, this method is not feasible for ordinary people, right?

"And what if you fill the bamboo with mud?" Li Shushen is confident, this is what he discussed with Jiang Changan, if he really can't buy enough wood, then use bamboo.

But the boat made of bamboo does not have a very long lifespan, and it can be used for two or three years at most.

"So how are you going to grout? Mud can get into the bamboo tube, and water can get in, right? Wouldn't that be a shipwreck? "These are all common sense, what do the two children think?

Governor Cheng became more and more suspicious.

"Then seal the glue, in short, it won't leak, and adults don't know if they can supply enough bamboo.

When it is built, you will know, the life span is two or three years, the carrying capacity is ten tons, and if the ship is not small enough, you can build a few.

The price is negotiable, anyway, it is much cheaper than a wooden boat, and there are some parts that need to be pig iron, but the amount is not much.

What do you think? As long as Jiang Changan says yes, Li Shushen will be convinced.

Governor Cheng stared deeply at Li Shushen for a few moments, and he couldn't see any other intentions in his eyes at all, so he clapped his hands and said, "Then try it." ”

If it doesn't work out, try it and you'll know, the cost is not high anyway, and it's Li Shushen who pays for it.

The old clerk was even happier, rubbing his hands excitedly, "That, there are a few mountains and big water bamboos in my house, I don't know if you need it?" ”

In order to make the two old people in the family happy, he directly bought a few barren mountains and specialized in planting bamboo.

As you know, bamboo grows with only a few knots in the soil, and it grows like crazy.

Today's barren mountains have long since become bamboo mountains, and if they are successfully sold, they will become silver mountains.

Hahaha. The old clerk is going crazy, it turns out that he is a person with good fortune, and he only makes a fortune when he is old.

"Okay, I need a lot of firewood and charcoal to roast bamboo."

Only by roasting the bamboo softly can it be straightened and fixed.

"Then let's do it, how many carpenters do you need? I'll send a job list, and I'll be able to get some of them over.

However, at this time, there is chaos, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons, so you are afraid that someone will sneak in and steal the teacher, so you must pay special attention to screening at that time. ”

In the end, Governor Cheng had to remind his partners.

"It doesn't matter, we don't need special craftsmen, just ordinary people who can work."

Jiang Changan is used to opening an assembly line, the kind that even people without technology can do, the speed is very fast, and the key is to keep the technology secret.

Cheng Zhifu didn't know what to say anymore, he couldn't understand what the two children wanted to do, but they both agreed to the partnership, so he could only trust them.

Let it go.

Governor Cheng couldn't understand it, and other knowledgeable merchants laughed directly after learning that they were going to build a big ship out of bamboo.

Carpentry techniques are difficult to understand, but everyone knows that only a good piece of wood can withstand fine carving.

Bamboo is not even wood, the weight is not good, the hardness is not good, and it is used to build a big ship? Don't laugh at the dead.

Could it be that Governor Cheng wants to experience feeding Wang Ba in the river? Hahaha

The opponent smirked proudly, not taking Jiang Changan and the group in his eyes at all.

However, the work of the paradise was not affected at all, after Jiang Changan drew the drawings, Cheng Zhifu looked at it again and again, and finally convinced it a little more, and felt that it was feasible to build a big boat with bamboo.

Moreover, the shape of the boat is still very beautiful, mainly the color outside, which was directly baked into camouflage by Jiang Chang'an, green and yellow black, staggered, combined together, it is called a neat and chic.

With the drawings and hundreds of workers hired, the cargo ship was delivered in five days.

On this day, the riverside was crowded with people, some park workers pulled and assembled half of the boat pieces, and more people came to see the excitement, and there were more people who made fun of Cheng Zhifu being fooled by the two children.

But as the boats slowly assembled in the hands of the workers, the sneering faces of the people slowly stiffened.

Until the cargo ship was launched, everyone was directly stunned, as if they were stupid, bamboo, can you really build a big ship? It's been a long time.

The huge and delicate houseboats, neatly arranged on the river's edge, are steady, not washed away by the water, and will not sink.

Cheng Zhifu never closed his grinning mouth, and commanded the workers to go up to test the ship.

For a time, the wide river surface was very lively, and the ten boats were staggered from each other, whether it was against the current or downstream, it was all the stability and convenience that I wanted to be.

Even if she is loaded with heavy goods, she is not slow to go upstream, which simply breaks people's common sense and understanding, and allows a cadre to witness a miracle.

It's still a bamboo boat, no, it's already in the category of immortal weapons.

An immortal weapon that only costs five thousand taels, and Cheng Zhifu is overjoyed.

Lao Wen, who sold the bamboo of a few mountains, laughed directly and went crazy, "Haha. Did you see that? The faces of those merchants were green.

As soon as the bamboo boat came out, it was better than their wooden boat, and they had a lot of timber in stock, and they couldn't use it up for a while.

If the wood is not handled well, it will not become moldy and rot, so will they change to grow mushrooms? Haha."

Let you be treacherous, and retribution will come too quickly, like a tornado
