Chapter 242: Shipbuilding Operations
When Yang Dashan saw Ye Xiaochuan, he showed joy, and his chubby body ran over and said, "Ye Shaoxia, it turns out that you are still here." โ
Ye Xiaochuan was in a bad mood and said, "I'm about to leave, by the way, what about Yang Shijiu?"
Yang Dashan smiled happily and said: "Fortunately, thanks to the recommendation of the son, yesterday morning, the nineteenth had already prepared the gifts and went to Cangyun Mountain by boat." โ
Ye Xiaochuan was stunned, he didn't expect this Yang Shijiu's movements to be so fast, and he had already set off in only two days.
If Yang Shijiu's apprenticeship is successful, wouldn't it be his little junior sister?
Thinking that he would have a beautiful little sister with a lot of money and a lot of money to play with in the future, this guy's mood immediately improved again.
Yang Dashan invited Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Kite to live in the house for a while longer, Ye Xiaochuan wanted to go, because this Yang Dashan was very rich, and he was penniless now, so he had the idea to scrape off a layer of oil and water from this local tyrant.
However, after thinking about it, it was estimated that Yun Qiyou was still staring at him secretly, she knew how to use five ghosts and fortunes, no matter how much silver she got from Yang Dashanren, most of them would be stuffed into Yun Qiyou's purse for no reason.
It's only been a month, and I'm still a poor egg, but Yun Qiyou has become a little rich woman by robbing herself again and again, and she must not be cheap anymore.
Now he finally believes in Situ Feng's words, Wufeng and Chopping Dust are entangled twin swords, Situ Feng, the master of Wufeng in his previous life, killed Su Qinglian, the master of Chopping Dust, he was very unlucky in this life, and became the new owner of Wufeng Sword, and he wanted to repay Situ Feng's debt in his previous life.
Bidding farewell to Yang Dashanren, the two of them walked along the wilderness ancient road and headed northeast.
Last night there was a heavy rain that made the road very muddy, but it didn't bother the two of them. The two sides of the ancient road are covered with half-foot-high grass, and people don't feel muddy when they walk on it.
After walking for more than ten miles, Langya Mountain was in sight behind them, and the two of them began to study the next walking route.
Baili Kite said: "Why don't we go to the Yangtze River and rent a boat down the river." โ
Ye Xiaochuan said angrily: "Do you have any silver?" This is just a ferry, not a big pier like West Wind City, and it is difficult to find a bodyguard to do it." โ
Baili Kite took out his purse and poured out all the silver, and there were less than fifteen taels of broken silver in total.
She said with a bitter face: "This is all my belongings." โ
Ye Xiaochuan shook his head and sighed, and said, "It's a pity that my Qiankun storage bag was lost, and there are still some belongings in it." โ
Baili Kite suddenly raised his eyebrows, patted his head, and said, "I forgot to tell you, your Qiankun storage bag is on me, I found it at the bottom of the river at that time." โ
After speaking, she took out the storage bag found at the bottom of the Wuxia Estuary that day from her arms.
Ye Xiaochuan was overjoyed, snatched the storage bag, laughed, and said, "I thought I lost it, but now we have money!"
Although there was no silver, when he was stealing in Liu Fugui's study, he had already thrown a pure gold vase and a pure gold brush in the study into the Qiankun storage bag before fighting Yun Qiyou.
These two things weigh at least five or six or seven catties, and one catty is sixteen taels, even if they are called gold nuggets, there are one hundred taels of gold, and when converted into silver, there are also a thousand taels.
He hurriedly opened the storage bag, and soon found the gold bottle and the gold hair pen in the mess of items in the storage bag, and he almost hugged these two gold objects and kissed them fiercely, and the saliva stained on them was extremely disgusting.
Baili Kite took the gold pen and said in surprise: "Pure gold?"
Ye Xiaochuan laughed and said, "It's really an endless road, this is when I was in West Wind City, I put it in the Qiankun bag in Bully Liu's study, and I found a pawnshop and sold it for at least a thousand taels, which should be enough for us to spend a while!"
Baili Kite was overjoyed and said, "Then we have the money to rent the ship again?"
Ye Xiaochuan glanced at her and said, "You can't spend money like this, how expensive the ancestral ship is now, it costs a few taels of silver a day, it's more than a bandit, isn't it just a boat?" โ
Baili Kite said suspiciously: "You can still build a ship?"
Ye Xiaochuan said triumphantly: "What's so difficult about this?"
He didn't think it was difficult to build a boat, and he could play rafting on the Yangtze River with a big log, and he could play for five days and five nights.
In his opinion, as long as you can find a log to float on the water, it is a boat, which is economical, and can be sold for money when towed ashore.
Walk more than ten miles to the northeast, there is a small town close to the Yangtze River, the town is not big, about thirty or forty miles away from Hanyang City, because it is on the edge of the Yangtze River, there is a small ferry, so that the town is quite prosperous.
There is a bamboo forest on the periphery of the town, Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Kite soldiers are divided into two ways, Baili Kite goes to the town to buy some dry food and the like, Ye Xiaochuan is a head into the bamboo forest, start his shipbuilding plan.
He didn't plan to sell the two pieces of gold now, the town was too small to sell at any price, and he didn't want to go back to Hanyang City, so he simply went to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and according to the distance, he could reach Jinling in a few days, which was a good place for treasures, and good things had to be sold there.
After Ye Xiaochuan got into the bamboo forest, the sound of the sound of swishing kept sounding, and after a while, this guy dragged more than a dozen thick Jun bamboos out of the bamboo forest.
Jun bamboo, mainly grown in the area of Dongting Lake Jun Mountain, is tall and straight, and the toughness is also very good, which is most suitable for bamboo rafts.
Ye Xiaochuan cut off the top of the branches and leaves of more than a dozen ten-zhang long Jun bamboo with a bladeless sword, leaving only about three zhang in length.
The shaved bamboos are neatly lined up, and then the ropes are taken out of the Qiankun storage bag and tied into a bamboo raft in turn.
In less than half an hour, a large bamboo raft three zhang long and almost one zhang wide was made.
Not to mention two people, even if it is twenty or thirty people, it is not a problem.
Ye Xiaochuan also got two masts, and when he went down the mountain, he packed almost all the things in the room into the Qiankun bag, and these miscellaneous things came in handy now.
He found a large piece of linen cloth and fastened it with ropes, which was the improvised sail.
The turbulent flow of the Yangtze River, coupled with this side of the sail, goes down the river, and traveling 800 miles a day is definitely not bragging.
After Ye Xiaochuan made it, he clapped his hands with satisfaction and did it himself, saving more money.
Maybe you can also pull a few passengers on the Yangtze River, one or two silver a day, and ensure that you can make a lot of money.
Just when this guy was proud and looking forward to a better life in the future, more than a dozen officials with big knives and iron chains ran here.
In the distance, I heard the leading catcher shouting loudly: "Boy, you dare to cut down Junzhu privately, and follow me back to the yamen to pass the hall...... Don't run!"
