Chapter 14: Telling the Truth

Although Lingbo Pavilion is the largest brothel in Ninghai County, it has never experienced such a big scene as today.

In fact, when building a garden as large as Lingbo Pavilion, the owner of the garden put a lot of effort into it.

The most elegant of the Lingbo Pavilion is the Lingbo small building, which is three floors above the ground and five feet high. Towering and beautiful, the top floor is actually a pavilion built by the wind.

If you open the door wall, you can see the veil moving in the wind, and the stars reflect each other. On the day of the crescent moon, the sea was sprinkled with silver shavings.

If you sit in it, you can watch the lights of thousands of homes in the city and listen to the ups and downs of the sea. There is really a realm of birth and immortality.

It's a pity that tonight, I can't ask for any elegance or realm. Because Ling Bo Xiaozhu really can't squeeze so many people.

Although the doors and walls have been torn down, the makeshift wine tables still crowd the small building. There are no less than ten tables to count. And every table is also crowded with businessmen, rich gentry or martial arts elders.

The maidservant who served the food carefully passed through the crack in the person, so as not to knock over the dish she was holding in her hand. The singers and huqin players, who are used to playing the tune on weekdays, shrank in the corner at this time.

Although the singing is still beautiful, it can't withstand the excitement on the field. The babbling singing voice seems to flow into the sea, and it is completely inaudible when it is covered.

Except for the main table, everyone sat in a circle around the table. These people are also all characters in their own land, and now they all compliment each other in the most "intimate" way.

The warm heat from the people's bodies came together, making everyone sweat profusely.

Except, of course, for the main table.

There weren't many people sitting at the main table at the moment. In addition to Zheng He, Ji Changan, and Fang Zhongjin, there were also Yan Junhao, Bao Guoxing, Old Man Shen and Widow Yan.

Ji Changan and Yan Junhao confronted each other like two huge icebergs, making most of the people next to them hold their breath and dare not breathe.

Bao Guoxing also sweated, but it was all cold sweat. He silently calculated in his heart, one side is a celebrity, and the other side is a royal family. One side is Hades, and the other side is the overlord.

I will offend one side tonight no matter what, and I can't say that both parties may be offended by themselves. I'm afraid his career won't last long.

Thinking of this, Bao Guoxing glared at Old Man Shen and Widow Yan with resentful eyes again: These two guys, I treat them well, but they treat me like this!

Old Man Shen and Widow Yan both pretended not to see it. One half-closed his eyelids and took a sip of cold wine in the glass, and the other fanned wildly to look at the bright moon in the sky.

Zheng He smiled and stood up with a glass of wine to toast everyone, and said clearly: "Thank you for not giving up on the ship, although this is a shipping industry conference, we are specially invited to the banquet." Fortunately, fortunately!"

Everyone seemed to remember that this was a shipping industry conference at this time, and everyone looked at Shen and Yan who were sending invitations to the sea.

One of these two people is a white-haired old man, and the other is a half-old. On weekdays, you have to fight an old opponent who meets you to the death, but today you invite everyone to the banquet, but I don't know what it is for?

I saw that Old Man Shen was finally willing to take charge. He stood up slowly, cleared his throat and said, "Thank you for not giving up and appreciating the glory to attend this shipbuilding conference." Lao Yu invited all the guests to come here, not for anything else, just because of Lao Yu's incompetence, which made Ninghai Shipbuilding Industry ashamed. I specially invite you to help the old man solve a big problem. ”

After saying this, there was a small discussion on the rest of the table. A businessman couldn't help but say, "Boss Shen is too humble. Your JAC boat line is the leader in our shipping industry. If you have any list that you can't do, we don't have the ability to do it. ”

After saying this, the rest of the people all laughed politely. But there are also those who don't buy it, and interject from the side: "I don't know what kind of problem it is? They all say that there is a specialization in the art industry, maybe we have so many stinkers gathered together, can come up with a solution?"

When everyone heard this, they all smiled and nodded silently. The situation in front of him is gradually becoming clearer, obviously Zheng and Zheng Gonggong have made some strange list, Jianghuai Boat Company and Shanglong Boat Company can't do it, so they are looking for so many people to come together.

Everyone thinks the same: it's not uncommon for people from Kyoto to come up with strange opinions. It all depends on the ship's ability to speak. You have to wait comfortably for the people who come to the capital, and you can fool all the requests you put forward before you can earn the money.

If Ninghai's boat line can't say that the father-in-law from Beijing is happy, then it should be lived by the capable. Everyone has some confidence in their own means, and they think that they can rely on their own three-inch incorruptible tongue to talk about the huge orders in Beijing.

Old man Shen couldn't see through the minds of this group of people. He smiled coldly, turned his head and bowed his hand respectfully to Zheng He, and said, "The day before yesterday, Zheng and Zheng Gonggong came to our Ninghai County to build a batch of big ships. But with the best of our boats, we can't build the boat that Gonggong Zheng wants. It really ruined our reputation in Ninghai.

The old man was ashamed, so he came up with this stupid solution, and asked all the bosses to come together and discuss a way to build the big ship that Gonggong Zheng wanted. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Zheng He with greedy eyes. The bold one asked, "Dare to ask what kind of big ship Gonggong Zheng wants to build?" Everyone craned their necks and listened with bated breath.

Zheng He smiled mildly and said, "It's not a secret, you might as well ask everyone to help us think of a way together." Our family was entrusted by the emperor to purchase a batch of 2,000 sea ships. ”

After saying this, he looked at the crowd with a smile. When everyone in the building heard this, they all suddenly fell silent. Suddenly, the crowded pavilion was quietly falling needles.

The singer who was singing to herself suddenly became the only voice in the building. Her face suddenly turned red, and no one paid attention to her. Because everyone looked at Zheng He fixedly, trying to tell if he was joking with the ship's owners.

It's a pity that Zheng He still looked at everyone with a smile, waiting for someone to say a few words. There is no intention of changing the tone at all. Only then did everyone determine that this father-in-law really didn't know anything about shipbuilding.

Everyone began to whisper again: 2,000 materials, or a sea ship, it is simply impossible. But since it is a ship that the emperor wants to build, he can't fool around at will. Who can afford the crime of defrauding the king? No wonder the two shipping companies, Jianghuai and Shanglong, cannot afford such a business.

But even they were helpless, and they couldn't join in the excitement themselves. After a while, the dead silence in the pavilion returned again. Everyone looked at the cup in front of them and listened carefully to the singer's singing.

At this time, Yan Junhao, who had been sitting silently on the side for a long time, suddenly said in a dead silence: "What should I be, it's not difficult for a strong man, and then take the opportunity to search for that set." ”

This sentence was cold and calm, like an ice pick in the silent pavilion, piercing the dense and suffocating embarrassing atmosphere.
