Chapter 57: There are shipbuilders

About Zhao San.
Wei Xiaobai could hear that this was a good person.
Wei Xiaobai sat on the reef by the sea, Zi Yue stood there with a sword in her arms, while Qingxia went to find water.
Qi Youliang was sitting on a stool waiting at the pier.
Several people around him were constantly observing whether there were outsiders approaching here.
Finally, a convoy slowly came in the darkness. The leader was Xiao Ping, the second eldest son of the Xiao family, and the future kiln owner of the Xiao family. The rest, even the porter, were all children of the Xiao family.
Wei Xiaobai, who had been silent all night at the beach, finally spoke: "I had three worries, one was the quality of the goods. Although I couldn't hear it at this time, I could see Qi Jijiu and the other party talking and laughing, and I thought the quality was correct."
Ziyue said: "I went to see it, they burned it very well."
Wei Xiaobai thought to himself, you only look at the surface, and people who know how to inspect the goods. However, Wei Xiaobai did not mention this, but said: "The second is that he is afraid that someone will find it. Now it seems that this worry is unnecessary. They have started to help us hide this camp. The last one is that our identity is scared and they dare not interact with us."
Zi Yue looked happy: "Can you borrow them to purchase many items? Many of the inventory in our mansion is gone!"
Wei Xiaobai smiled: "Of course."
Xiao Ping had already arrived close to him and gave a long gift: "My husband, good luck."
"Okay, it's great. Thank you for your hard work this time."
"No, this is what we should do." After Xiao Ping said that, he asked someone to carry a wooden box: "This was made by Uncle Fourth himself, mixed in a large kiln and burned with a porcelain bottle. I think since the husband needs it, he made one first, and then burn the rest when the new kiln can be used."
"Thank you." Wei Xiaobai gave a very polite gift.
This one is not on the list, and the Xiao family will definitely not collect money from Wei Xiaobai.
On the boat back, Qi Youliang said to Wei Xiaobai: "Mr. Concubine, when I was receiving the goods, I secretly discussed two things. The first thing to pay is not silver, but rice. According to Chuting's official market rice price, I gave 10%. Our rice is much cheaper than Chuting's rice."
"kindness."
Wei Xiaobai usually doesn't comment on such small things, and Qi Youliang is also used to Wei Xiaobai's unspeakable attitude.
Qi Youliang continued: "Led by the Xiao family, we secretly found five hundred carpenters and seven hundred handymen. We provided wood and they helped us build ships. The leader was the Xiao family's in-laws. They once worked as a craftsman in the Chuting Official Shipyard and were a master craftsman."
"Master?"
After hearing Wei Xiaobai's question, Qi Youliang knew that his words aroused Wei Xiaobai's interest. He immediately replied: "It's indeed a master craftsman. It can be said that he can't build it without a ship."
Wei Xiaobai lit his pipe and gently rubbed his forehead.
The ship drawings in Wei Xiaobai's hand are not only from all over the world, but also from the design drawings of giant ships and cannons that had begun in the late Ming Dynasty, as well as the new wooden sailboat that combines the advantages of Chinese and Western countries.
After thinking hard for a long time, Wei Xiaobai threw a volume of drawings to Qi Youliang: "Let me find someone to copy it, and then return the original picture to me to see if the master can make it. If possible, I will increase the difficulty. If it can be made, you can talk to him. Whether it is to give money or to the official is your business. I want to build a real big ship."
"Yes!" Qi Youliang didn't ask a word, took the drawing with both hands and handed it to a soldier.
Wei Xiaobai also gave Tiefang a tentative technique. If he could do it, he would have further results.
At this time, Wei Xiaobai took out a three-masted light gunboat from the late Ming Dynasty, twenty feet long, five-story cabins, three hundred soldiers, and forty-eight guns.
Wei Xiaobai can do not have a cannon, but the speed of this ship is first-class.
Next is the lucky ship and the broad ship.
What Wei Xiaobai really wanted to create was a super warship designed by later enthusiasts to take its essence from the Chinese and Western walls. It is divided into three types: large, medium and small. The maximum speed of the small boat can reach more than 60 kilometers, that is, more than thirty knots.
The defense of the large ship can withstand sixteen pounds of Western artillery without being injured.
There is only one technology for the ship that carpenters try now, the watertight warehouse technology. The Tang ships in history have the design of watertight warehouses, and there are also those of this era.
But this is not enough. Wei Xiaobai wants a more practical and functional watertight warehouse.
Change the original Hachikang design to a more practical Sixty-four warehouse.
The distant sea is different from the near sea, and the water-tight warehouse is the foundation for saving lives. This technology was learned by the West in the 18th century. The so-called invincible fleet of the Great Age of Discovery in the West is not as good as the ships of the Ming Navy.
It was only a few dozen miles from Leizhou to Qiongya North, and the big ship quickly completed the journey.
The ship did not dock, and Wei Xiaobai did not get off the ship. Instead, he picked up Li Zhaoning and others and returned to Qiongya South from the waterway.
On the boat, Li Zhaoning held Wei Xiaobai's face and rubbed it a few times: "Well, it seems that he was not hurt, nor was he hungry." After saying that, he couldn't close his mouth.
Wei Xiaobai had a cold face: "I picked up gold, so happy."
"I'm happy to see my husband."
This made Wei Xiaobai feel a little confused about how to answer the conversation. Well, there is only one trick.
hug.
Hug and kiss.
ah……
Wei Xiaobai covered his mouth and cried with tears on his face, but Li Zhaoning blushed like an apple, and he didn't know where to put his hand in embarrassingly.
After awkward moment, Li Zhaoning pulled Wei Xiaobai's hand away. Seeing the bleeding lips, he didn't know if he should find some medicine to apply. Wei Xiaobai also spit out his tongue, and his tongue was bleeding.
"Okay, okay, I'll pay attention next time." Li Zhaoning touched Wei Xiaobai's head.
Wei Xiaobai was so angry that he wanted to curse people, but his mouth hurt and he couldn't speak.
I am a big man, not that little girl Caidie, can I comfort people and touch my head?
But then Wei Xiaobai noticed that Li Zhaoning was really not low, otherwise it would be difficult to touch his head.
Li Zhaoning had just applied some medicine to Wei Xiaobai's mouth when he heard someone knocking on the door, but someone outside was talking: "Your Highness, Sima sent someone to ask if the prince consort is tired, if he doesn't have a rest for now, there is something important to discuss."
Li Zhaoning replied: "Go and tell Sima that this palace and the prince will arrive later."
After responding outside the door, Li Zhaoning said, "Give me that knife, I will arrange a sword servant. Qingxia and Ziyue will follow you from now on. You have no force to protect yourself."
Wei Xiaobai thought to himself that if you had a sand eagle and a python in your hands, if you hadn't been dizzy when you traveled through time and space that day, you would have captured it alive and tied it back.
Chapter completed!
