From Ye Chang's mouth, he learned that the newly built sea boats have all kinds of magical features. Although Su Ku Le highly recognizes Ye Chang's character, he always feels uneasy about these descriptions and exaggerates them.

Perhaps Ye Langjun didn't understand the inside story of the shipbuilding at all and was deceived by a few bold craftsmen? If this is true, he went to Wuzhi's shipyard and wanted to expose the source of the matter. Don't let Ye Langjun take this risk.

With this idea, Su Ku Le came to the boat yard on the bank of the Yellow River.

To his surprise, he did not see a boat in the water, but only saw a huge wall. The wall covers an area of ​​about several acres, and it is more than ten feet high, making Su Ku Le stunned.

"This is……?"

"how?"

"Will such a high wall be built on the waterside, it will not exceed the rules?"

"Haha, that's not the wall, it's the linen curtain picked up by a wooden pole. It's just dyed with such a texture, and it looks like a wall." Ye Ting smiled beside him.

"Why do you need this?"

"Of course, people won't see the situation inside."

Just to prevent people from seeing the situation inside, I pulled up a ten-foot-high linen curtain, which was too extravagant. Su Ku Le felt more and more that this must have been the clever craftsman who deceived Ye Chang, and that he would do this waste of money and money.

But after entering the wall, Su Kuala suddenly understood why he used a curtain to cover everything.

Dock

Why Ye Chang was able to build ships faster than the shipbuilding workshop at this time? The dock was one of the important reasons. At this time, shipbuilding often required craftsmen to work in the water. Therefore, when Emperor Yang of Sui built a ship to conquer Goguryeo, there was a saying that craftsmen soaked in the water for a long time and grew maggots. But Ye Chang naturally would not make such a mistake. He chose a bend at the deep water bend by the Yellow River, dug out a trench, separated the river water, and emptied it, then built a trench with bricks and stone cement, erected beams on the trench, and then started building ships under the beams.

The advantage of this is that workers do not have to explore their homework in the water, and as long as they have sufficient staff, they can even work continuously.

This does not require any technological revolution, it only requires ideas. In the history of another lifetime, the dock will not appear until the Song Dynasty, and Ye Chang advanced it. He did not want to be learned by others before his ship was built, so he used a curtain to block it.

Now he doesn’t care if he is learned. After all, shipbuilding is a comprehensive project, and it is far from enough to learn about docks.

"These two ships are what Ye Langjun said...sea ships?"

After being shocked by the dock for a moment, Su Ku Le had no time to marvel at the wonder of this design, so he was attracted by the two oily yellow ships.

Luoyang City originally had a place to build ships and repair ships, but the scale was not as large as the south. Ye Chang purchased old wood from it that had been placed for enough time to build a ship. After the ship was built, he painted the tung oil several times, used linen, fish glue, etc. to stick the gaps, and finally applied oil and paint. Although it was not dyed, because it was huge, it was far better than the ships in the river at this time, Su Ku Le still felt a huge shock.

"How, what do you think?" Ye Ying smiled.

Su Ku Le's suspicion of the ship was revealed, and they all felt it along the way. Ye Ying and Ye Ting absolutely trust Ye Chang. Everyone held their breath and waited for the scene to let Su Ku Le admit defeat.

"I haven't been on the boat to see this, and I don't know if it's a silver-like wax gun tip." Although Su Ku Le took a breath, his mouth was still hard.

Following the gangway set on the dock, Ye Chang stepped onto the boat. Because the smell of paint had not yet disappeared, the smell on the boat was still very strong, but Ye Chang didn't care, but looked around intently.

This ship was not entirely his idea, but mainly relied on the ship craftsmen found by Princess Yuzhen. Although these Tang Dynasty craftsmen were unknown in history, they had ingenious ideas that were no less than those of later inventors. Some of the improvements put forward by Ye Chang were perfectly reflected in their hands: the streamlined hull, the blade-shaped bottom of the ship, the firm keel structure, the watertight cabin, the tail rudder, etc. In fact, the keel structure is a major improvement in shipbuilding. This structure is much stronger than the hull that was spliced ​​before, whether it is wind and wave resistance or the collision resistance.

"Tsk tsk"

Ye Chang was looking around, but he heard laughter and tsk sounds coming from behind him. Looking back, he saw Su Kuo Le were jumping hard. Su Kuo Le had divine power on his legs. After this, the deck of the ship was trembling slightly, and the brackets that set up the deck didn't make any sound.

"Are you firm, Su thick legs?"

"She looked around again." Su Ku Le was still worried when he found that the deck was very tight. He thought about it and he didn't see the boat tower on the deck. An expert like him certainly knew that the boat tower was to shelter from the wind and rain. The key was to enter the cabin under the deck.

He searched around and soon found an iron ring. There was a rope on the iron ring. After several people pulled it up, they exposed the cabin below. This was actually a cargo compartment, not a cabin inside, but Su Kuo Le didn't care so much and jumped straight down.

"That guy still doesn't believe in the husband." Ye Ting sneered beside Ye Chang.

Ye Chang also smiled. No matter how Su thick legs struggled, the things that really hurt him were still here.

Two days later, Wolong Valley.

"You mean, you have to give up your family business here and go to Liaodong, where I don't know where it is?"

In addition to Ye Chang, there was also Ye Dan, the half-retired old patriarch. Although Ye Dan had let go of the management of the Ye clan for more than a year, today's affairs were too important, so he was still present in person.

In addition, there are five elders from all the houses, all of whom are here.

There is also Ye Chang's sister-in-law Fang. She is a woman who can participate, not entirely because of Ye Chang's face, but more importantly, her methods. In the past two years, the Ye family's winery and other workshops have been organized one after another. The Prime Minister's affairs are Fang. Almost all the children and nephews in each room have listened to Fang's hands, and the bonuses of each room's New Year Festival are also distributed by Fang's family.

Ye Chang knew very well that a small family like him was the foundation of his life. Although his clan bloodline could also be internally strife and was often bloody, he was still slightly more reliable than ordinary outsiders.

The one who spoke just now was Ye Dan. Now people from all over the country called him no longer Ye Lizheng, but Old Master Ye. This title really made him feel majestic.

Therefore, when he heard that Ye Chang was going to start a business in Liaodong, he almost didn't believe his ears.

Fang looked up in surprise. Ye Chang returned home the night before yesterday, but did not disclose this to her at all. She just asked about the situation in the clan after leaving the family, and the inquiry was very detailed.

The other few old men of the house clan were all full of confusion.

“That’s right.”

"It's great, what are you going to Liaodong? I still remember that I heard someone sing it when I was a child, but I didn't want to go to Liaodong to death."

"That's the extreme. When Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty lost the hearts of the world, he first dug a canal and conquered Liaodong. Where can he go in that barren land?"

Ye Chang sighed. It is natural for human beings to leave the Chinese people's hometown. He coughed, and Ye Dan immediately waved his hand and signaled that all the elders of all races would calm down.

"Dear uncles and uncles, there is one thing that everyone still doesn't know." Ye Chang said slowly: "Our Ye family will soon be in trouble."

"ah?"

Everyone was surprised. Ye Chang has never said anything false. He said this this time, his own reason.

"Shiyilang, just say whatever you have and don't curse us," Ye Dan said.

"Our Ye family has developed too quickly." Ye Chang smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't talk about my family, my uncle, your family has made less money in the past three years, right?"

Ye Dan coughed, and his old face turned slightly red.

What Ye Chang mentioned is actually far more than "million yuan". With the help of Ye Chang's large-scale infrastructure development, there are so many industries. Even if you don't do it, Ye Dan's long house has received more than 20,000 yuan in more than three years of long houses. However, there are many people in long houses, and the average share is profitable, and each of them is not very obvious.

"The rest of the houses have several thousand tents in three years. Think about it, when did we not belong to the noble family and could we make such progress?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and a clan elder murmured: "We don't violate the law, and we don't hurt our virtues. We make money... where does the disaster come from?"

"Whether to violate the law or not hurt morality is not our final decision." Ye Chang shook his head and said, "To be honest, the biggest income of our family is brewing wine, and even if his sister-in-law carefully controls it, the annual income is 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. This is a pure income. Our Ye family has no power and power. There is such a big profit. Think about it, what is the difference between holding gold in a downtown area?"

Everyone was silent. Although they were villagers and had little knowledge, they still knew the basic human hearts.

After a while, Ye Dan said, "Shiyilang, are you worried that you have not been entrusted with people from all walks of life? Even if you are a noble man from the court, you have made a lot of friends. If we have their help, why are we afraid of?"

"When we first made friends with noble people, we wanted to protect our Ye family. Either a county magistrate or a county magistrate could make our Ye family lose their lives. Not to mention these rank officials, they were the patriarchs of the Liu family, and they were in-laws with our Ye family. Everyone remembered how they planned our Ye family at the time."

Ye Chang gave an example, and everyone nodded repeatedly. If Ye Chang had not made friends with Yuan Highway at that time, even the Liu family would have been unable to raise their heads. However, with the death of the Liu family, the hatred between the Ye and Liu families had been buried, and now the Liu family could even be said to have become a vassal of the Ye family.

"But what if the powerful people I have made are also moved by this wealth?" Ye Chang said immediately.

Everyone was frightened: "No...no, those nobles can also like this little money for us?

"The nobles also have to support their families, and their families have a big business, and they spend much more than us, and we don't need more money... I first went to Chang'an to do football dramas, and I earned 100,000 yuan a year in Chang'an. As a result, Princess Yuzhen was proactive, so I had to withdraw. Jia Maoer, Brother Jia, was with me and left Chang'an and came to our visit." Ye Chang gave the first example.

The Ye family looked at each other and looked surprised.

"Take winemaking as an example, our family has few people and little power, so now winemaking is only so large. It seems that it will be a profit of 30,000 yuan a year, but if it falls into the hands of powerful and powerful families, it will be a profit of 300,000 yuan a year, not just such a huge wealth. Do you think if it is you, you will always do it?

"Then let's hand it over." Someone muttered.

Ye Chang was immediately annoyed. He knew very well about the thoughts of the clan elder. Although Ye Chang had a lot of money to help the clan members, the people were not in a good position. When the other party heard about the profit of 30,000 yuan a year, he had only made thousands of yuan. Naturally, he was dissatisfied. Anyway, the loss was not his interests.

"Uncle Nine said it lightly. Hand it over... If the other party is still worried, what should I do if I want to silence me? Could it be that I handed over me too? If I handed over me, a county servant can strip you completely. Can you have a good life in this room?"

He heard his rudely scolding, the clan always shrank his neck and never dared to say anything again.

"Besides, I didn't hand over the cement formula - I handed over it. The court controlled it and collected hundreds of thousands of guan a year. Is it good for me to put a penny in? As a result, the court sent an internal supervisor to summon me to join the army last time, and the internal supervisor asked me to drink the winery. If I don't give it, I will call the soldiers to kill me." Ye Chang said this, and everyone was shocked and everyone became nervous: "If he hadn't died on the frontier, our Ye family would have to be hit by this."

"Shiyilang, why don't we live a peaceful life? Anyway, now we have enough money now, so we will support you so that you can become a high-ranking official as soon as possible. If you become a high-ranking official, no one dares to covet our family's possessions."

Ye Dan had more knowledge than other clan elders, so he came up with a solution now.

Ye Chang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work anymore. The news has not yet arrived. I offended the big man in the court and will have a difficult career in the future."

"Big man? What big man, is he bigger than a princess?"

"It's still big, the current crown prince and the prime minister."

"hiss"

Everyone took a breath. After a while, Ye Dan looked at Ye Chang suspiciously: "Shiyilang, are you... lying us?"

"Can you deceive such a thing?" Ye Chang smiled bitterly again: "It's not that I really offended them. It's because someone really blamed me for being too profitable."

This is half true and half false. If there is really an official here, it will be invisible. However, the elders of the Ye family have limited knowledge. Thinking that Ye Chang is indeed very good at causing trouble, they all changed their faces.

Not only did anyone think about betraying Ye Chang, but Ye Chang then said: "Of course, I can come out of the court safely because there are people behind me, but those people can't move me, and maybe our Ye family can't move."

After this remark, the elders of the Ye family finally realized the situation, but even so, if they wanted to truly accept the relocation, Ye Chang would need another fire.
