Great Song Pirate

Chapter 188 As You Expected (Ask for a Monthly Pass)

After Fan Sheng walked around the slipway a few times, he shouted "good boat", which immediately made Gong Zhen show admiration. This Fan Sheng could immediately see whether the boat was good or bad just from the unformed hull. Years of shipbuilding experience is absolutely not enough.

"Brother Fan said this boat is a good boat, could you give us some pointers?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

Anyway, Fan Sheng has been with Xu Yi for a long time, and they are quite familiar with each other, so he said unceremoniously: "The bottom of this boat is sharp, and at first glance it seems a bit like a Fujian sea ship, but carefully After observation, I still found that it is different from the Fujian sea ship. The bow and hull of this ship are similar to Fuchuan, but the sides of the hull are fuller, and the bow is quite different from Fuchuan. The bow of this ship is sharp and the bow is pointed. , the two sides float out, the shape is very beautiful, and this kind of bow is very suitable for breaking waves without thinking. Compared with Fuchuan with the same sail, the speed of the boat must be faster, and when encountering big waves, the boat's deck must be It is not easy to get on the waves. Even if it is used as a warship, the bow of this ship is stronger than that of ordinary sea falcon ships, which is suitable for collision. Once ordinary ships are hit by this ship, they will be severely damaged, but this ship will not It was severely damaged, and there must be a bilge installed in this place, so as to reduce the roll of the ship in the waves. Good ship, it is indeed a good ship! But now I can only see the hull part, I don’t know Can Brother Gong have a boat sample for Fan Mou to watch?"

Gong Zhen heard that he wanted to see the ship sample, so he took a look at Xu Yi, Xu Yi smiled and said: "They are all from our own, just let Master Fan take a look, and Hangzhou will also build ships according to this ship model in the future. Let Master Fan see, he still has to figure it out from the beginning!"

Anyway, the shipyard belongs to Xu Yi, and the appearance of this type of ship is also inseparable from Xu Yi. Although he was a bit reluctant, Gong Zhen took Fan Sheng to the room where he hid the ship. Here we can say It is the core of the shipyard, and Gray specially arranged people to guard it outside. After the three of them entered the house, Gong Zhen uncovered a piece of silk, and a sample of their brand new Jiangbei ship was displayed on Xu In front of Yi and Fan Sheng.

The length of this ship is about 1.5 meters, and it is much more detailed than the one when Xu Yi left. It can be said that it is a scaled-down ship, with rudders, masts, sails, etc. The lack of it, the production is very fine, it is clear at a glance, it can be called a handicraft!
Fan Sheng was immediately attracted by the ship sample. He couldn't put it down lying next to the ship sample. Of course, he is extremely proud of the boats he made and is so obsessed with them. As craftsmen, the most important thing in their lives may not be how much wealth they earn, but for being able to create something admirable, It can be regarded as the greatest joy in their lives. In the past, he might not have achieved this kind of achievement in his entire life, but this shopkeeper Xu gave him this opportunity, and also opened up his thinking, allowing him to achieve this kind of achievement. For a new boat, Gong Zhen felt that there was nothing left to ask for in this life.

Xu Yi also likes this ship model very much. If such a finely crafted ship model is placed in his study, it will be quite an eye-catching object. What's more, he also contributes to the appearance of this ship model?This may also be regarded as one of his achievements!
Fan Sheng looked around the boat for a full meal, but he didn't look up, his eyes were shining with fiery light, Xu Yi and Gong Zhen didn't bother him, let him watch carefully, Fan Sheng watched After passing the whole ship, I was not satisfied, and started to disassemble the various parts of the ship sample. My hands and feet were very nimble. This ship sample is a ship sample that can be disassembled completely. It can be said that it is the blueprint for the craftsmen to refer to. After the ship sample is scaled up year-on-year, a real ship like it can be built, so an expert like Fan Sheng is not afraid to disassemble it to look at the parts and layout inside. After Fan Sheng has seen all the details, he restores the ship sample As before, after taking a deep breath, he straightened his body.

He turned to face Xu Yi and Gong Zhen, and then bowed deeply and said with emotion: "I, Fan Sheng, have accepted it. I used to think that there were no better shipwrights than me in the two Zhejiang areas, but I saw this boat today." After doing this, I knew that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people! The shopkeeper is really talented, and he is also a genius, and Master Gong is also beyond my reach. Fan has taken it! This ship will definitely become the most popular among sea ships in time. If Brother Gong does not give up, I am willing to be your apprentice, but I wonder if Master Gong is willing to accept me as an old apprentice?"

Gong Zhen was startled when he heard that, this Fan Sheng was much older than him, and he would propose to be his apprentice, so why not kill him?So he quickly reached out to help him, grabbed Fan Sheng's arm and said in surprise, "You can't do it, you can't do it! You are a master at this, I'm still young after all, and as I said, I'm not alone in this boat." Most of the credit goes to shopkeeper Xu, and a lot of credit goes to a few brothers here, so I can't count it on my head. Brother Fan must never say such a thing again. This really killed me, Gong Zhen! !"

Xu Yi laughed loudly and said: "I said, Lao Fan! You are also a boat idiot. I don't think there is any need for this apprenticeship. In the future, you all need to learn more. Improve this boat model and let me use it. The best ship in our world is the right one, and I will see yours from now on!"

At this time, Fan Sheng didn't dare to push him any further, and nodded repeatedly, expressing that he must ask Gong Zhen for advice, and the three left the room. Before leaving, Xu Yi confessed: "Gong Zhen, I like this boat sample very much, you turn around." If you have time, make two more of the same one for me, give one to me, and I will take it home and put it at home, and give the other one to Lao Fan, let him go back to Hangzhou, and build the same boat like this ship, so that we can build a few more ships like this soon. As for this, you can just let go and build it. Once the ship is launched, it will immediately sail to sea for trial voyage. If there are no major problems, it will immediately start construction and continue. Construction, for the time being, none of our boats will be sold out, and all of them will be kept for your own use. You can just spend as much money as you want. The craftsmen on the shipyard must not treat them badly. Let's build a ship, don't let others dig it!"

Gong Zhen immediately bowed to his orders and said, "Don't worry shopkeeper, our brothers here are all grateful for your help. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know where to make a living! Here we eat well and live well." Well, no matter how much wages are paid by other ship yards, the brothers will not leave. They are trying as hard as they can now, and they will never be lazy and slippery. As for the two boat samples you want, I'm afraid I can only Give Brother Fan a smaller sample of the ship first, let him use it for reference first, I will make the sample of the ship you want as soon as possible! I promise to make it better than this!"

Xu Yi and Gong Zhen went to the shipyard to look around again, and saw that everything here was arranged in an orderly manner, so he was completely relieved. There are sufficient materials here, and the materials are also high-quality, so there is nothing to worry about. Yes, they praised Gong Zhen and Gray a lot. In the evening, everyone did not accept the invitation from the manager of the Li family's business in Yangzhou, so they stayed in the shipyard for dinner. He and these craftsmen gathered together Together, eat the dinner made by the chef here. The craftsmen did not expect that after their boss came here, they would eat with them. They were very touched. Xu Yi chatted with them for a long time while eating, and asked them about the food here , accommodation and other things, I told Gray to ensure that the people here eat well and live well. It doesn’t matter if the wages are higher, but they must not be in arrears. These craftsmen are very grateful. Work hard for this new owner here, good man!

Xu Yi was very satisfied with the inspection in Yangzhou this time. He chatted with Ge Lei and Gong Zhen until midnight. Leaving Yangzhou with two empty boats, everyone on the ship yard gathered at the pier to see them off. Yue Hong, who was accompanying Xu Yi, was also greatly moved. Seeing that her man was so respected by everyone, she acted as an escort His wife also felt that her face was very bright.

And that Fan Sheng, since he got the boat sample that Gong Zhen gave him in the morning, plunged headlong into the cabin, and he was no longer seen. Even the meals were sent to him by Xu Yi. Xu Yi also felt very relieved by his obsession. With such a person, why worry that they can't use the good boat they built on Dulong Island?They are based on the sea, and only by getting the best ships can they have the capital to travel across the sea without being bullied.

Originally, when they arrived in Hangzhou, they could choose to go directly to Hangzhou through the canal, or they could take a detour to enter Hangzhou from the outside of Hangzhou Bay by sea. Taking the canal would save a lot of distance. Originally, he wanted to go to Hangzhou through the canal, but later he thought that water transportation on the canal would be very convenient. Busy, it is inconvenient for their sea boats to squeeze into the canal, and their boats are not very suitable for driving in the canal, so they finally took the sea and took a detour to Hangzhou.

According to the old rules, after they moored the ship at Haining Wharf, those who had nothing to do stayed in Hangzhou. Xu Yi only took Yue Hong, Li Bo, Diao Bin, Fan Sheng and others, took the Li family's car and boat, and went to Go to Hangzhou city.

He had just arrived at the Escort, and before he sat down to discuss with Xue Tu and Lin Xiong about Jiang Desheng's affairs, Li Mingshan and Li Mutian rushed to the Escort after hearing the news, begging to see Xu Yi, Xu Yi was a little surprised when he heard that, Originally, he would definitely want to see shopkeeper Li and the others when he came this time, but he didn't know why they were so anxious to see him, so he was invited to Lijin.

Before the two parties sat down, the shopkeeper Li said: "Mr. Xu is really a god! The things in the north are really as you expected!..."
