Daming One Piece

Chapter 74 Zheng Yiguan's Bet (Second update, please recommend, please collect)
Among the dozens of lucky boats and bird boats in the water village, this single-masted black boat is particularly conspicuous.

In the early morning of this day, Shi Yiwen rushed to the water village without even eating anything after freshening up.His first Sroop ship is about to set sail. Although it looks very similar in appearance, Shi Yiwen really doesn't dare to make a conclusion about how it will perform in the sea.

After all, he still has some self-knowledge.

Maybe he has blueprints, but now this sailboat is the first boat he built. Not only is it still unknown whether it can run, but also whether the boat will roll, or even be heavy at the top and light at the tail, etc. The unknown, even the rigging—the flexibility of the European-style rigging, was also unknown.

It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk.Not only Shi Yiwen thought this way, in fact, most of the others did as well, not only Fang Dahai eagerly wanted to sail the boat, but even the people in the village looked at the black boat curiously.

In the past days, everyone listened to what other people said all day long. They built big ships out of their own means, and they said that Mr. Shi was just a talker, and he could only brag.

Now is a good time for everyone to see whether he is really capable or just bragging!
Of course Yan Ruyu and Ruxue would come, as for Zheng Yiguan and Li Junchen, of course they would also come. Their purpose of coming could not be simpler, just to see a joke.

"A sloop out to sea?"

As an expert at sea, Zheng Yiguan's tone was full of contempt.

"Dreaming!"

In fact, a sloop can go to sea, but it can't run very far.

Different from them, Zhang Hong looked at the ship with a smile on his face. This black ship seemed to be quite interesting. It's a big ship too.

Perhaps, this kid is really capable.

Finally, he turned his attention to Shi Yiwen, who was chatting with Yan Ruyu there.

"Brother, look around them..."

Huang Zhao pointed to the people around them and said.

"Nowadays, many people think that Ruyu's family is pretty good."

In the past period of time, more and more people recognized Yan Ruyu's status as the head of the family. It was taken for granted that Yang Tiansheng and Chen De recognized it, as did many other bosses.

"This family, she will become more and more stable!"

Zhang Hong laughed.

"Brother Zheng has calculated thousands of times, but he still didn't figure out that Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway."

Who is Cheng Yaojin?
Of course it was Shi Yiwen, looking at Yan Ruyu who was smiling all over her face, and Shi Yiwen standing beside her, Zheng Yiguan felt so sour in his heart!
This kid... is simply his nemesis.

"Bless Mazu, he must let his boat sink..."

Zheng Yiguan secretly prayed in his heart, the reason why he thinks this way is because when the boy was building the ship, he never picked an auspicious day. If he didn't pick an auspicious day, can Mazu bless him?

"Today is not an auspicious day!"

When Zheng Yiguan turned to ask the people around him, Yan Ruyu said worriedly.

"Brother Shi, it seems that today is not suitable for traveling, should we change the day?"

Inadvertently, Yan Ruyu changed her address, her tone seemed much closer,

"It's okay, auspicious day...the ship is built, why do we need an auspicious day!"

Shi Yiwen looked extremely confident.

In fact, he was still a little worried in his heart, worried that the ship would not be built well.

The process of launching into the water is not amazing, it is just a very ordinary scene.Seeing the boat anchored firmly on the water, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, everything went well!
It didn't sink!

Zheng Yiguan seemed a little disappointed, isn't this boat made of wooden nails?How could it not sink?However, he was still the same as everyone else. When he got on the ship, he looked at this small sea ship. Anyone could see the difference in this ship. The same as the red-haired fan.

"Master Shi, how much cargo can this ship hold?"

Yang Tiansheng asked.

This is what they are most concerned about. They are not fake pirates, but they are also maritime merchants, and the ship must be able to load.

"This ship is not big, so it shouldn't carry much cargo!"

"Although this ship is not big, the design of the hull is more reasonable. Its cargo capacity is about 300 tons, um, about 5000 shi!"

Before Shi Yiwen finished speaking, someone said in surprise.

"Five thousand stones! Mr. Shi, you are not joking if such a small boat can hold five thousand stones!"

Everyone else was looking at this boat. It was absolutely impossible for such a small boat to hold five thousand stones.

"Are you kidding? What are you kidding? If you don't believe me, just try it and you'll know. Why is it so difficult?"

Shi Yiwen didn't want to argue with anyone, the boat was already in the sea, so what's the use of talking nonsense.Just convince others with facts.

"It's true! Just try it."

Zheng Yiguan suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Shi, today's wind and wind direction are not bad. Although it's not time to go overseas, it's suitable if you go to Daguan. Let's have some fun. I'll use that ten-foot Fu The boat is a lottery, if your boat can really hold five thousand shi, and you can take the five thousand shi to Da Yuan smoothly, then that ship will belong to Mr. Shi, so what does Mr. Shi think?"

Zheng Yiguan casually proposed a gamble.

Why did he dare to propose such a gamble, because he did not believe that such a small boat could hold five thousand stones and sail on the sea, not to mention such a single-masted boat more than eight feet long, it was a bird boat ten feet long, and the top More than three thousand or four thousand stone goods are loaded. If there is more, accidents will happen when encountering wind and waves.

Besides, this ship, he really didn't believe that this ship could go to sea.This boat is nailed out of wooden nails, how can it be so strong?The waves at sea slapped the nails apart.

The keel is also good.No matter the ribs or the planks of the boat, they can all be nailed together with wood, which can't stand the toss!

"Oh, you mean Tongfuhao... OK!"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yiguan was so fond of gambling. As soon as his boat stepped into the water, he started a gambling game and remanded to a sea boat.

It's a good deal!

A ten-foot-long bird boat!

For now, no matter how many boats there are, I don’t think there are too many. Ruyu is in need of money.Although the boat has just launched, Shi Yiwen still has confidence in the new boat.

After all, in another time and space, such a sloop would have no problem carrying four or five hundred tons of cargo on ocean voyages, and this is even its greatest advantage—flexibility, speed, and large load capacity.I don’t know how many captains of pirate ships rely on this advantage to cross the ocean, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean, and from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Even for a long time, this kind of small boat was still the mainstream of whaling ships. Each trip to sea ranges from half a year to as many as one or two years.

Three hundred tons...that's just a conservative estimate!

Seeing that Shi Yiwen readily agreed, Zheng Yiguan said with a smile.

"Master Shi, don't worry, what if you lose? Then what should I do?"
