After the matter in the county town was over, Li Ling took Su Yun back to the small fishing village next to the port.

Zhang Yuanshan and Qin Feng and the villagers have built more than a dozen large ships. Although they are only two-masted and three-masted, they have a large number. If these ships go into the sea together, their combat effectiveness will be quite amazing.

"Just come back! Our ships have been almost made. If you want, we will start to build giant ships according to the drawings you brought!" Zhang Yuanshan said excitedly.

Large ships were floating on the sea. Zhang Yuanshan was in a rippling mood when he saw Qin Feng and Li Ling beside him, "Why don't worry about not being able to sweep the southeastern waters with such force!"

Li Ling frowned, but it stretched out in a blink of an eye: "Let us work together to protect the Ming Dynasty's seafront!"

Dachang Money House also established branches in the port fishing village. Although the place is now in ruins, with the opening of the sea ban, more and more merchants will gather here, and the port will become more and more prosperous.

"Li Jieyuan, Xiao Ba has finished his father's funeral. He has recruited a large number of young and strong people near the salt farm. These are young people who have been trained for a period of time. They will arrive in the fishing village soon!"

Most of the young and strong people participated in the battle against Japanese slaves and were the main force of various salt fields. They heard that Li Jieyuan served as the regiment training envoy of Yingtian Prefecture and was now building a ship at the estuary of Ningbo. He might go out to sea to fight Japanese slaves at any time. These people couldn't sit still and found Xiao Ba who was handling the funeral at home, hoping that he could lead everyone to surrender to Li Ling.

Xiao Bazheng was worried that his power was weak. When he heard everyone's request, he agreed half-swer and just came to meet with Li Ling after finishing his father's funeral.

Dachang Money House was brought into the village, and Li Ling's shipbuilding business also began. Boxes of silver were moved out of the money house and replaced with wood.

"Master Zhang, these are all bought as you said. I don't know how many masts can be made of such a large piece of wood?" Li Ling looked at Zhang Yuanshan sincerely, hoping that he could give himself a satisfactory answer!

Zhang Yuanshan closed his eyes and touched a huge log. He said intoxicatedly: "If our craftsmen have such good skills, they can completely create large ships with more than four masts, and even reproduce the treasure ships that the three treasure eunuchs were riding on back then."

Zhang Yuanshan looked a little drifty. He never expected that Li Ling would be so generous in his move. He agreed without thinking about the price of dozens of taels of silver per log. He even lazy to argue about the price, or did he underestimate Li Ling's financial resources too much?

A lot of money spent, but it would be strange if the workers who transported the logs were not good at hand and feet!

He knew that Li Ling was a fat sheep, but he didn't expect that the other party was such a big fat sheep!

"I'm developed!" Zhang Yuanshan couldn't suppress his inner excitement: "Li Jieyuan, let's start dealing with these logs immediately!"

Although the villagers were very enthusiastic, they did not make any concessions in wages. Zhang Yuanshan came forward to convey their requirements. It required two hundred taels of wages for each four-masted ship, and five hundred taels of labor for each five-masted ship!

"Mr. Li, the drawings you provide are too difficult to make and labor-intensive, so the price is not too expensive. Please forgive me!"

Although Zhang Yuanshan spoke very politely, he was not without arrogance in his tone. It was not easy to leave this small fishing village and find so many craftsmen who were proficient in shipbuilding.

As soon as the sea ban was opened, I don’t know how many wealthy businessmen wanted to make a fuck from it. In just a few days, he received a lot of orders, but considering that Li Ling needed too many ships and huge engineering volume, he pushed them all.

"Okay, I agree to your conditions. I ask you to build the ship as quickly as possible while ensuring quality!"

Zhang Yuanshan smiled and promised Li Ling that he would speed up, but he was thinking that these ships would sooner or later fall into his hands, so of course he had to pay attention to the quality.

"Brothers, come on, come on! Mr. Li gave a reasonable price. We must work hard. As long as we do it well, each family can receive five kilograms of fish every day in the future!"

Zhang Yuanshan shouted at the top of his throat, and the villagers all understood it immediately. Li Ling agreed to their conditions. As long as this job is finished, this year will be a year of prosperity.

Everyone is more motivated.

It took about half a month for seven four-masted ships and two five-masted ships to work together.

During this period, Li Ling spent money like flowing water and spent thousands of taels of silver every day. Zhang Yuanshan and Qin Feng were very jealous.

"Dachang Money House is quite powerful, it is worthy of being a big business that resounds throughout the southern provinces. It is said that it has branches in thirteen provinces, and making money is like flowing water!" Qin Feng asked someone to investigate Li Ling secretly and found that his background is quite not simple. If Dachang Money House can do it smoothly, the support of the government will definitely be indispensable behind it!

"Don't worry, although we can't take the entire Dachang Money House, the branches stationed near the port are turtles in the jar, and the gold and silver inside are destined to be ours!" Qin Feng said with great confidence.

In fact, he has also coveted Li Ling's wealth for a long time.

Just as the villagers were busy building boats, Xiaoba also came to the fishing village.

"Master, I'll come here after I've taken care of my father's funeral!" Xiaoba said excitedly, "After we prepare these big ships, can we directly attack the Japanese slave's nest?"

Xiaoba's brother was not at home, and everything at home fell on him. After burying his father, he stayed at home and moved his mother. He did not leave until she was not very sad.

Seeing the ships crisscrossing the sea, Xiao Ba was extremely happy. He said to Li Ling with great joy: "Master, I have never seen such a large ship before. Even the Japanese slaves rarely have these ships. With them, we will definitely cross the sea!"

"You are right. With these ships, you can indeed cross the sea, but their masters will no longer be you but me!" Zhang Yuanshan walked to Li Ling and Xiao Ba at some time, followed by Qin Feng and dozens of men holding big swords.

"You want to rob these ships? So how do you deal with us?" Li Ling signaled Xiao Ba to take a few steps back and asked in a plain voice.

"Haha, Li Ling, you are unlucky this time. If you have a way out in heaven, you won't go, but you will come to surrender. You and a few servants will naturally be executed. As for the maid you brought with you? The leader still lacks a wife in the village, so she will act as the one!"

"Shameless!" Xiao Ba shouted loudly, trying to rush over and fight Zhang Yuanshan for the desperate battle, but was stopped by Li Ling!

"Can you still rebel alone? You should save your energy! Your master can see clearly!" Zhang Yuanshan laughed proudly and waved to several large ships.

The big ship gradually approached the shore, and some strong men carrying swords came down from above!

Everyone is Zhang Yuanshan's subordinates.
Chapter completed!
