Yang Gan looked at the young man and asked, "Name, place of origin, how old are you, and what do you do?"

The young man smacked his mouth, his face was a little sunken, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm so, so hungry."

Yang Gan looked at him with interest and blinked at Qin Xiangru next to him.

Qin Xiangru immediately arranged for her servants to go downstairs to get food. When he saw the table full of meat dishes, the young man's eyes suddenly turned green and he pounced on them like a hungry wolf.

Yang Qian flew to the young man's side, kicked him, and immediately knocked him away.

"You're looking for death. If you eat like this, will your stomach burst?"

After Yang Gan finished speaking, he scooped out a spoonful of meat porridge from the casserole and handed it to his hand. The young man looked at all this blankly and took a tentative sip. He didn't have much time to finish the bowl of meat porridge.

Yang Gan also returned to the sofa and had a bowl of meat porridge to cushion his stomach. At least now, when he eats it, the young man's body will have a more accurate feedback and he will not be starved to death.

"Hiccup~~~!"

After a long time, the young man burped and finally had enough.

After raising his hands to Yang Qian, he said, "I am Tang Long, a native of Shangguo and a native of Xingguo. He is 18 years old and has been passed down from his ancestors to shipbuilding."

Yang Gan raised the corner of his mouth slightly. This boy was quite interesting. He actually answered his words. He rarely encountered such interesting people.

But he didn't show his expression. Instead, he mocked, "Ancestral shipbuilding? You are not good at this ancestral craft. Building a ship almost drowned your county governor. I plan to find a man-made ship. If it were you, wouldn't you want to drown me?" "

Tang Long suddenly became excited, "Sir, I am unjust. The ship I spent a year building sank just after it went to sea. There was no reason. And there was no wind and waves that day. My enemies must have tampered with the bottom of the ship."

Yang Gan gave Qin Xiangru a look, and the latter immediately gave him a pen and paper, indicating to him to draw the shape of the ship.

After a while, Yang Qian came to Tang Long and looked at it. He was surprised by the precision of the drawing. It was already very professional, at least in his own opinion.

Tang Long introduced, "This is a large wing commonly used by the navy. After I improved it, it is even larger, 30 feet long, and can be equipped with 150 soldiers."

"How did the ship sink? Did it turn sideways or sink straight down?" Yang Gan asked.

"Sinking straight down."

Yang Gan nodded, "It seems that there is indeed a villain behind your back, but in my opinion, your drawings are very ordinary, it's no big deal."

Tang Long was stunned, obviously trying to suppress his anger. "Sir, I have modified this big wing. If it can be used as a sea-going ship, it will be considered a great innovation of mine."

Yang Gan smiled and said, "What's the difference between the river and the sea?"

Tang Long said without thinking, "The biggest difference is that there are no waves in the river, but there are waves in the sea."

"That's right."

Yang Gan took charcoal and wrote on the drawing. He didn't draw the entire ship, but just drew the correct shape of the ship.

Tang Long took it over and took a look. His eyes gradually narrowed. After a long time, he said with a speechless expression.

"Sir, why is the bottom of the ship pointed? Almost all of today's warships have oval or flat bottoms."

"A sea-going ship needs to ride the wind and waves in the sea. To break the waves, it needs a sharp assembly line. How should I put it? Does Xingguo have building ships?"

"right."

"If you change the bottom of a building boat into a sharp bottom, and the five-story building becomes a three-story building, do you think it will still capsize in the sea?"

Then Yang Gan threw all the balance, water flow and other things to Tang Long, regardless of whether he could understand or not.

Tang Long seemed to be suffering from hysteria as he kept writing and drawing on the drawings.

"Sir, sir, this is located in the north. Who are you? How do you have such advanced sea-going ship technology? According to my speculation, just by modifying the ship shape and bottom, the built sea-going ship can ride the wind and waves in the sea. .”

"But this kind of boat also has shortcomings. Because it is too big and the draft is too deep, it cannot enter rivers and is easily stranded."

Yang Qian took out a large drawing from the study and spread it out in front of his eyes.

Tang Long grabbed his hair with both hands, almost scratching off his scalp. His eyes were red and he said, "What kind of ship is this?"

"Here are five types of ships, all of which can be used in the sea. Please study them carefully."

Tang Long was a little stunned, "Sir, this, this thing is not difficult. As long as the shape and material are understood, it is not difficult for me, but it is impossible for me to build such a huge warship with my own strength." .”

"Then how many people do you want?"

Tang Long counted on his fingers and said, "Actually, ordinary people can do it, but there are at least a hundred shipwrights. Moreover, my family is still mining. I need their help. Our entire family can build ships."

The corner of Yang Gan's mouth twitched fiercely, "You won't tell me that because you sank a boat, your whole family was arrested."

Tang Long nodded seriously, "Well, my whole family has been sent here. I know it's called Yuntong County, but I don't even know where it is."

"Yu'er, bring all Tang Long's family members here and arrange food and lodging according to the standards of the guests."

"Yes, sir."

After Tang Long packed up all the drawings, he hurried out with Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu worked neatly and gathered the whole family in a short time.

Fortunately, they had just been sent to the slave camp, so they did not suffer much, and the women were not insulted, but they were quite frightened.

They had seen people doing corvee labor and had seen hard labor. Although it was miserable, they were all dumbfounded when they entered the slave camp. Although the camp was clean and tidy, the people here were all gray-faced and only wore strange clothes. Pants.

The most shocking thing is the resignation and dullness in these people's eyes, a look full of deathly silence.

Yang Qian paid a lot of money to keep the slave camp clean. After all, if it was too dirty and messy, it would be troublesome if it caused an epidemic.

There was no rush to build the ship, but the decision at that time was still correct. I thought about how to make money and food by myself.

Now that the wallet is fatter, some large-scale projects have been launched, and the huge expenditure of money and food cannot damage its foundation, Zhuangzi only accepts a huge amount of food from the tenants in one season.

The endless food can be sold to the county and various county towns. The sales of a large number of products such as alcohol and some skin care products are a huge sum, not to mention Fujiko Jin who continues to make a lot of money for himself.

Although money was being spent all the time, the gold and silver money in the treasury under the mansion not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

In fact, when doing business in this era, you don’t need any modern thinking, because many things and many industries do not exist in this era, so you just need to find them out. The purchasing power of Xia people is still very strong.

A lot of goods were also exported to Liao and Shang countries, and his own caravan was not limited to Fujiko Shin's.

Because after the king's order, Yuntong County was completely autonomous, so he also had the right to use taxes, but now he had more money.

Since the cheap dad is giving you face like this, Yang Qian will definitely pay the three-cent gift in return, right? Even though he doesn’t have to pay it.

But he still paid on time and according to the amount. In this way, in the court, the cheap daddy could also speak for him, resist the pressure of the family, and let himself free his hands to play with Goguryeo.

In the mansion arranged by Xiao Yu, Tang Long and his family were finally reunited, and everyone cried with joy.

After understanding the whole story, they understood that this was the owner of the place who wanted to build a ship for him.

The eldest father said, "Alon, what is the identity of the master here?"

Tang Long shrugged and looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu said calmly, "According to your current status, you enjoy the treatment of a retainer, but for a big family like you, your salary alone may not be enough. If your whole family can build ships, you'd better make some achievements. Master is not a stingy person." people."

The gray-haired Tang Daqiang cupped his hands and said, "Who is my lady here?"

Xiao Yu said, "This place is Yuntong County of Xia Kingdom, Yangzhuang outside the city. The owner here is Lord Wu'an, Yang Qian, and I am his family chief, Xiao Yu."

In an instant, everyone's expressions were dull. Their family could be considered a family of craftsmen. If placed in a modern professional family, they would have a higher social status and naturally receive more information.

"It's incredible, this is Lord Wu'an's territory." Tang Daqiang suddenly started sweating from his temples. This is a famous general of our time.

"Mr. Xiao, why are we here?" Tang Daqiang thought it would be better to clarify the matter first.

How could Xiao Yu not hear it, but he still patiently explained, "When Shang and Xia formed an alliance, your Majesty once presented a batch of weapons to your prime minister, at least 50,000 pieces. In exchange, Shang The country needs to provide corresponding prisoners."

Immediately everyone understood what was going on.

Xiao Yu said to Tang Daqiang, "Three days, I'll give you three days to write out a detailed plan for the warships your Majesty needs. Don't blame me for not making it clear. You are still slaves now. You were sent here as slaves." of."

"This, our Tang family has been a family of craftsmen for generations, and we have been reduced to a lowly status." Tang Daqiang's eyes turned red, and his tall figure gradually became more and more rugged, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Father, as long as we work hard to build ships, we can definitely get rid of slavery."

As soon as Tang Long said that, the family members immediately gathered around Tang Daqiang to comfort him, and Xiao Yu's eyes gradually became dull. Once upon a time, the atmosphere in her home was like this, and the relationship was very good, but...

Unconsciously, her tone softened, "Your Majesty is very generous. As long as you do your job well, slavery and the like are just trivial matters."

Tang Daqiang didn't have time to feel sad, so he took the drawing from his grandson's hand and looked at it. Gradually, his eyes became sharp and he looked at his son, grandson, and granddaughter. Everyone couldn't help but look shocked.

Tang Daqiang swallowed and wiped the sweat from his face, "Which country is Mr. Wu An going to attack?"

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that this old man could see through it. It was not easy.
