Foreman Zhang's shipbuilding skills were inherited from his ancestors. When his hometown suffered a disaster, if he had not been away to take the imperial examination, he would have been doomed.

Unfortunately, everyone in his family died in that disaster.

He became depressed several times and didn't want to stay in his hometown any longer and cause himself sadness.

It happened that Fu Liu, who was visiting his hometown to visit his relatives, was recruiting skilled shipbuilders, so he followed him to Suzhou Prefecture to settle down.

He is considered one of the first veteran craftsmen of Huang's Shipyard. His subordinates not only admire his craftsmanship, but also recognize his qualifications.

That's why those young people just now rushed to clear his name.

Even Su Peisheng admired him very much. Fearing that Xirui didn't know how powerful he was, he quickly went over and said, "Princess, this cargo ship has been improved a lot after the improvement made by Foreman Zhang."

"This also caused our Huang's cargo ship orders to surpass those of the other companies in one fell swoop."

When Su Peisheng talked about this, his face was full of pride.

You should know that Suzhou Prefecture is not only located on the coast, but also has a trading port, with countless ships coming and going for trade.

Naturally, there are many people in the local area who know how to build ships and make a living from it.

In addition to the Huang family, there are also the Zhao, Chu, Chen and Lin families, which are also well-known in the entire Suzhou Prefecture.

Although the size of each company varies, they almost control all the ships in the entire state.

Among them, the Huang family is the largest, with the order volume reaching two-fifths.

In particular, this is the result of the joint resistance of the other few companies.

How could Su Peisheng not be proud?

"Manager Su, you are too kind. This is the result of everyone's concerted efforts. I dare not take credit for it."

No matter what Su Peisheng said, Foreman Zhang's attitude remained as humble as ever.

He kept waving his hands to refuse.

Xirui's smile remained on her face. Although she didn't know much about shipbuilding, she could still understand the improvements and annotations on the drawings.

Especially with the current order results as evidence.

These are the best proofs.

"Foreman Zhang, there's no need to be so modest. We at Huang's will not mistreat anyone who works hard and steadily." Xirui's words were a recognition of Foreman Zhang's efforts and contributions.

Of course, she didn't just say this verbally.

Su Peisheng got Xirui's signal and quickly came over and said in a low voice, "The factory gave us 1,000 taels of silver as a reward."

Nothing is more practical than giving money.

Xirui believed that her brothers would not be vague about such a small matter, so she just nodded to show that she understood.

Since the factory has already expressed its willingness, it doesn't matter whether she gives it or not.

It was just that today was her first time to visit her family’s factory, and she was happy to see the improved drawings.

I couldn't help but want to express my feelings again.

Wu Wu received a signal from his master and quickly took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and put it in the hand of Foreman Zhang.

"This...how can this be done?" Foreman Zhang was stunned and quickly refused.

But Xirui was determined to give it, saying that it was just a small token of his appreciation.

"I really like this model and I admire your craftsmanship. It's just a small token of my appreciation, so please don't refuse it."

The assignment she gave was not as much as that given by the factory.

I really just want to express my feelings.

God knows how much she is looking forward to the progress here in the capital.

She had finally seen it with her own eyes, and she would feel sad if she wasn't allowed to express it.

Besides, she was not lying to them. The cargo ship model in her hand really pleased her.

Seeing that there were several identical models in the room, I thought of taking one back as a souvenir.

"This..." Foreman Zhang was still hesitant.

It took Su Peisheng's words of comfort to make him feel at ease to take the purse.

"Then I will shamelessly accept the reward from the princess."

Foreman Zhang saw the persistence of the host's daughter and decided not to spoil her fun anymore.

He just pointed to another cargo ship model on the table and said, "If you like this model, why don't you take it back?"

"To be honest, the one you have is a test version. It has been torn down and modified many times and is not as sturdy as the previous one, nor does it look good."

Foreman Zhang thought that a girl like Xirui, even if she was interested in models, would not want a tattered one.

For fear that she would find out and get angry again, he offered to change the one for her first.

But what he didn't expect was that after listening to his words, Xirui liked the model in her hand even more.

Not only did he not even look at the perfect model he pointed out, he also began to admire the "battle-damaged" model in his hand with great interest.

"Is this model still useful to you?" Xirui asked before rejecting Foreman Zhang's proposal.

Xirui would only consider changing the model if they wanted to use the model in her hand for experiments or if they had some other use for it.

Otherwise, she would have liked the one in her hand.

Foreman Zhang was a little unsure of what the master's daughter was thinking, so he could only say truthfully, "This is of no use. The cargo ship has been transformed and all the data has been recorded and preserved."

This model is already covered with scars and it's hard to say when it will be scrapped.

There's no point in staying.

Xirui followed his gaze towards the table, and saw a model with various data marked on it placed next to the pile of manuscript papers.

If you look more carefully, you will find that the data corresponds to the scars on the model in Xirui's hand.

"It seems that you really don't need this model in my hand."

What else is not clear?

Data from various experiments now have a new repository.

The one in Xirui's hand has been eliminated.

In this case, Xirui no longer has to worry, "Then I won't change it. I'll just keep this one."

After all, it will not affect the work in the factory, and Xirui himself likes this model more when he saw it at first sight.

The matter was resolved indisputably.

Xirui smiled even more as she held her "trophy" in her arms.

She felt that no matter how many models her royal father had collected for her, none of them could compare to the one in front of her.

She couldn't wait to take the model back and keep it well.

"This model is not light. Let me hold it for you first." Xue Jing was easily affected by Xirui's emotions, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

The improvement of the cargo ship was inseparable from his contribution, and naturally, the contribution of Xirui's drawings was also indispensable.

Over the years, Xue Jing has always kept in mind the promise between him and Xirui.

All the efforts made without slacking for a moment seem to be worth it at this moment.
