The reason why Zheng He came all the way from the capital to Ninghai was to complete the mission given to him by Zhu Di - to find a ship that could build two thousand large sea ships.

But he has been in Ninghai for a while now, and he has also seen a few big boat companies around. Not to mention that the two shipping companies of Jianghuai and Shanglong unintentionally inserted willows, and invited the famous and surnamed ship owners of Daming to come over. It is only now that for the first time someone has said that there is a way to build a large ship.

Although this man is a rickety, thin old man. The boat company he runs is nothing more than a rundown house that can't even buy big timber. As for the method he came up with—using shovel nails, shovel nails, shovel nails, leech nails, and other ship nails, combined with ingenious techniques to splice together the beams—even he himself was not sure whether it could be used on a treasure ship that was a hundred times larger.

But such an opportunity is something that Zheng He must not give up. He has been looking for so long, and it is the first time that he has such a clue, and he is busy stabilizing the boss surnamed Jia. Zheng He even made a promise to pay eighty percent of the deposit first to build a small boat. If there is no problem in trying, you can start building a big treasure ship, if not, you will never be held accountable.

Such a promise can be regarded as full of sincerity, and even a bit of a taste of buying horse bones. But others saw it in their eyes, but they were not convinced in their hearts.

Or the widow couldn't stand it first, and pointed out without holding back: Even if the boat is not really sailed into the sea, there is absolutely no way to test whether it is really feasible. But if you go into the deep sea and can't stand the waves, won't the crew on the ship die?

Although this was straightforward, others couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard it. It seems that there are not a few lives, and there is really no way to be sure whether this Boss Jia can build a large sea ship with 2,000 materials.

The businessmen in the audience knew that they could not cope with Zheng He's big order. And when they saw that they were going to be taken first by others, they all felt pain and hatred in their hearts. As soon as Widow Yan's words came out, a thin and dense voice of approval sounded in the pavilion.

It's best for everyone to let Zheng He retreat from the difficulties, and finally compromise to build a smaller ship, so that everyone can still compete for this sky-high order from scratch.

Although Boss Jia is old, he is still a boss, but his boat business is just a son inheriting his father's business. Boss Jia spends all his life and energy on studying shipbuilding, and his mind is still like a child.

His skill in the way of commerce was far weaker than that of the rest of the room. Boss Jia heard the voices criticizing him endlessly, but the more he listened, the more discouraged he became. Even the more I feel that I shouldn't talk nonsense in such an occasion. His heart was cold, his face was pale, and his head was getting lower and lower.

At this time, Boss Jia suddenly felt that someone walked in front of him, and a pair of toes appeared in front of him. He hurriedly looked up, but it turned out to be Zheng He walking over from the main table.

Zheng He usually gives people the impression of a gentle son. At this time, he smiled at Boss Jia kindly: "It is said that there is a specialization in the art industry. Boss Jia, don't worry about anything else, just build a good ship with peace of mind. The matter of testing the ship will be left to us. ”

Boss Jia only knew about shipbuilding in his life, and he was never valued by anyone. Because he is thin and not good at words, his peers will always carry a little mockery of him in their words, intentionally or unintentionally.

Boss Jia knew that this Zheng He was a noble man from Beijing, and he looked like a gentle son, and now he was speaking gently and politely to himself. Old man Jia's innate cowardice in his heart was troubled, and he suddenly felt both self-ashamed and grateful.

These thousands of emotions were mixed together, and Old Man Jia muttered for a long time, and finally only said one sentence: "Okay!"

But a weak voice sounded beside him: "There really is no need to worry about such a thing as dying during the trial ship." Jinyi Weicao's life is not once or twice. Find a few boatmen, put a knife around your neck, and someone will always go. As for whether or not to lose your life, you don't have to worry too much. ”

In fact, how exactly is Zheng He going to test the ship? This is a common question in the hearts of everyone in the audience. It's just that someone gently and skillfully said everyone's guess, but everyone was surprised. Everyone looked towards where the voice came from, and sure enough, Yan Junhao was not wrong.

Yan Junhao was originally provoked by Fang Zhongjin's internal force, and he had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up. was helped by the county order Bao Guoxing to sit at the main table, gasping for breath for a long time, and his chest finally stopped being annoyed. Although he had regained some strength, he was unwilling to let him walk away like this. Yan Junhao knew that he had already lost his face today, and it would be even more stupid if he suddenly got up and left now.

Yan Junhao cares about his image the most, and what he hates the most is injustice. At this time, he suddenly heard that there was a flaw in Zheng He's words, and this eunuch seemed to want to fool the past like this. Yan Junhao couldn't help but speak.

When others heard this, although they felt that what Yan Junhao said made sense, they also heard a strong sourness. Some acquaintances exchanged glances with each other, carefully hiding a hint of teasing.

Yan Junhao is a disciple of Huashan in the end, Jin Yiwei is not afraid of him, he is just a flat-headed commoner, but he does not dare to provoke easily.

Ji Changan didn't pay attention to Yan Junhao's face, and when he heard this, he said directly: "Yan Daxia has such a deep internal strength, and he will recover after a while." ”

Yan Junhao snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "There is no strong internal force of Master Ji. I can talk and laugh now. ”

Both of them have been forced to support themselves when competing for internal strength. Yan Junhao choked back like this, but he couldn't say anything wrong.

Ji Changan snorted and ignored him. And Zheng He turned his head and explained to Yan Junhao generously: "Yan Daxia, don't misunderstand. Our family left the palace this time to do things for the emperor. How could we do such a thing that violates the peace of heaven? Aren't we afraid that our family will be condemned by the Holy God after returning to Beijing?"

Yan Junhao heard that Zheng He took the emperor out to suppress himself, but he was still unwilling to say: "Even if the emperor is sage, he can't defeat some treacherous villains to make some ghost tricks." Ninghai is so remote, even if a shipwright is killed by you, this grievance will not reach the ears of the saint. As he said this, he turned his head to look at the waning moon that was about to sink to the bottom of the sea, and made a gesture of disdain for their company.

Zheng He still said tepidly: "This is Yan Daxia's worry. We are not recruiting shipwrights for this trial. I'll sail out to sea. ”

This was really said by the audience. Zheng He is a popular eunuch in the inner country, and he doesn't enjoy happiness in Beijing, but he says that he wants to sail to sea.

Bao Guoxing was really afraid that this golden and noble father-in-law would have an accident in his own land, and said in a trembling voice: "Father-in-law, don't make jokes about the officials." How can you go to sea alone?"

Zheng He said with a smile: "Who said that I am alone? Master Ji and this Fang Daxia are so good at kung fu, you have all seen it." They'll go with me, and you won't have to worry about it anymore. ”
