The building boat going straight down the Yangtze River is not slow in itself. In addition, there are twenty strong men below who are pedaling the wheels to drive the propellers to rotate at extremely high speeds. The speed of the entire building boat is even faster, like a white dolphin, constantly surpassing one person.
Another bamboo raft.
The old people on the river have long been accustomed to the maneuverability, speed and speed of these large-scale boats and vehicles. However, many foreign tourists who saw the large-scale boats for the first time could not help but exclaim!
"Wow! Why is this ship so fast?"
"Yes, the wind on the river is not strong. Since they can't borrow the wind, how can they be so much faster than us?"
"The wind is still strong? Where is the wind? The canvas is all loose, can't you see it?"
"Hey! That's strange. Is there a river monster pulling the boat under the water?"
"The river monster pulls the boat? It's simply fantastic! You kid can't imagine it! It's impossible!"
"This is not right, and that is not right either, so tell me, what's going on?"
"Zhiqiang, Dazhuang, you two, stop arguing. Zhiqiang, why are you so impatient? Although Dazhuang says you are whimsical, don't be angry. I think "whimsical" is not a shortcoming! How many magical things are there in this world?
Everything is the result of saints and sages thinking hard, trying every possible means, and going through countless hardships before they can finally create a miracle with an occasional sudden inspiration? Emperor Xuanyuan's compass, Zhuge Wuhou's wooden ox and flowing horse, can you imagine it? Liu An's "
"Huainanzi" records that someone used ice to make lenses and reflectors as periscopes! Do you know what a lens is? What is a periscope? If these things are not placed in front of you, can you imagine that these things actually exist in the world? Zu Chongzhi
Have you heard of it? Have you heard of Zhang Heng? Haha, I know you don’t know! These people are all brave enough to think and do. I like pioneers! The former is a master of mathematics who has calculated pi to the extreme, and the latter has created a
The tools used to measure earthquakes are all geniuses! So daring to think is the first step towards success! Did you see how many round covers there are on both sides of this ship?
"Saw."
"Saw."
"Behind that cover are the wheel paddles."
"Mr. Wang, what are wheel paddles?"
"Do you know the paddles used in rowing?"
"Know."
"Know."
"Eight to ten paddles are installed on a wheel-like device, similar to a water wheel. Can you imagine it?"
"able."
"able."
"We usually paddle one stroke at a time, while the wheel paddles paddle continuously, just like a water wheel. When we paddle once, it is equivalent to having already paddled four or five times!"
"Mr. Wang, I understand. So their speed is much faster than us!"
"Mr. Wang, I also understand. It seems that someone under his boat is pedaling the transmission wheel, driving the paddle wheel through the transmission wheel to continuously paddle, just like treading a water wheel, the wheels keep turning and the water keeps flowing.
Come up, and the building boat keeps moving forward."
"That's right, as long as you two understand."
The river surface gradually narrowed and the water flow became more rapid.
The five gangsters at the stern of the boat had dispersed at some point, presumably going back to the guest room to rest.
The captain of the boat came up again at this time and said: "Gentlemen and ladies, you can reach Laohu Beach before dark. Laohu Beach is a dangerous shoal, and the small market town near the dangerous shoal is also called Laohu Beach. Once you get there, you can only get off the boat and take another bus.
In the next section, because the difference between the upper and lower reaches of Laohu Beach is five feet, if my boat sails into Laohu Beach, it will never come back! So I would like to remind everyone to take a rest now. There are very few inns near Laohu Beach.
Look how many bamboo rafts are on the river today? There must be 200, if not 300, people transiting at Laohutan! The inn there can accommodate more than 100 people at most, so most of the people are destined to sleep in the wild!"
Feng Jiuxiao said calmly: "You anchor the ship there and we rest for one night. If you return the next day, I will pay more!"
The captain suddenly laughed and raised his thumb, "Young master, you are indeed a scene! Isn't it just for the money that we come out to make a living? Of course there is no problem in adding more money!"
Feng Jiuxiao said calmly: "Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Just make a price!"
The captain said: "Okay! The young master is really open-minded! When I see the young master's appearance and majesty, I know that the young master is either rich or noble! If I say less about the price, I will definitely lose the young master's reputation. If I say too much, I am afraid that the young master will dislike him.
I'm too greedy, so after much thought, I decided to order less, maybe ten thousand taels!"
What the hell, you want ten thousand taels less?
Pang Shiwu's eyes flashed, and he was about to yell at the captain for being so shady, but suddenly he saw Feng Jiuxiao's sharp eyes, and he instantly held back!!
The eldest brother is by his side, and he has reminded himself countless times not to be impulsive, not to be impulsive!
Okay, I can bear it! Don’t be impulsive!
Feng Jiuxiao said calmly: "Although it's a bit expensive, the good thing is that the price is clearly marked, so you don't have to be deceived. The key is that you are willing to do it, so I gave it to you!"
He took out a dozen banknotes from his arms, took out a 100,000 banknote, and handed it to the captain, "This is 100,000. I'd like the captain to find 90,000 back."
You ask for money with good intentions, and I naturally have the nerve to let you change.
The captain smiled and said: "Easy to say, easy to say."
In business, no matter who the other party is, he has the courage to speak out!
The shipowner believes that business is a superb game of wisdom. When facing poor people, he will order less. When meeting rich people, he will order more.
But no matter who he meets, he always likes to talk ugly things up front and agree on the price in advance. According to him, this is called making things clear!
Whether it's ten thousand or one hundred thousand, this is the price I'm offering. If you are willing, you can get on the boat. If you don't agree, you don't have to get on the boat. No one is forcing you to get on the boat, and no one is begging you to get on the boat.
Boat, right?
Therefore, making money is like Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who are willing to take the bait will take the bait!
He took out a stack of silver notes from his body, turned them over a few times, and actually managed to collect ninety thousand taels of silver notes. He handed it to Feng Jiuxiao with a smile, and said something strangely: "I didn't expect that the young master's martial arts is also superb. Just now
He can actually walk on the river as if he were walking on flat ground. His level of lightness skills is unparalleled in the martial arts world!" He just saw Feng Jiuxiao catching up with those Qingcheng Taoists on the river in small steps. His lightness skills are really amazing! So he couldn't help it.
Said that sentence.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Your Excellency's Tuxue Wuhen is not bad."
The captain was suddenly startled!
His face changed instantly!
He hid himself so deeply, but the other party could see it at a glance?
Could it be that what he said just now aroused his suspicion? Why did he mention his Qing Gong with such a bad mouth?
He smiled coquettishly, "I didn't expect that the young master has such great eyesight!"
Feng Jiuxiao only smiled and stopped talking.
Since the other party lives in seclusion on the Yangtze River and is willing to be a ship owner, he certainly has his reasons. If he doesn't want to tell him, there's no point in asking.
Seeing that Feng Jiuxiao did not ask about his identity, the captain breathed a sigh of relief, "Since the young master discovered the secret of my martial arts skills, I hope that the young master can keep the secret for me."
Feng Jiuxiao said calmly: "No problem. I don't even know your name. Even if I want to betray you, I don't know who to turn to."
The captain thought to himself, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, sir," and then left with fists clasped.
Suddenly a big man with a beard came up on the deck, he was one of the five Jianghu people.
He glared at Feng Jiuxiao and said, "I heard that you chartered this boat?"
Seeing his arrogant look, Feng Jiuxiao felt a little unhappy. He said calmly: "Your Excellency, you are joking. It's time to change trains soon. How can I charter this ship?"
The strong man's eyes flashed: "I heard you just now, you will spend the night on the boat tonight."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "What does it have to do with you?"
The strong man said proudly: "This ship must return tonight!"
Pang Shishi took one step forward, stood in front of the strong man, and said coldly: "What did you say?"
The strong man was shocked!
The movement of this young man in black is so fast!
He stared into the eyes of the young man in black, and was about to curse, when suddenly, he noticed something strange in the other man's eyes!
Suddenly, an extremely ferocious tiger flashed in the young man's eyes, baring its fangs, glaring with furious eyes, ferocious and terrifying, with its back as high as a mountain, ready to kill its prey at any time!
A murderous aura radiated from the opponent's body, making the strong man feel a chill running down his spine!
what's the situation?
The strong man was a little surprised!
This young man is actually at the pinnacle of the Eighth Realm! The same level as himself!
But after all, I am over forty, and he should not be eighteen yet!
"We have some friends in Laohutan, and we took this boat today just to welcome them! I heard that you just gave the boat owner 100,000 taels, and I will give you 300,000 as compensation. You can disembark at Laohutan!" The strong man is also an old man.
Jiang Hu, one look at Pang Shishi and knew that this young man would be difficult to deal with!
Therefore, he retreated in order to advance. He would not take action until he was not completely sure, and he offered three hundred thousand silver with both hands!
I have taken action, let’s see how you resolve it!
The strong man sneered secretly in his heart: 300,000 yuan is really an advantage to him and you.
As a result, the young man in black actually sneered: "Three hundred thousand? Too little!"
Thank you to the Three Wolves for not working hard, Snow for the first time, Blessed Sea without End, Hope for the End of the World and Y and other heroes for their strong support!
