"Woo~Woo~~"

Eight big ships that had already entered the vast sea, and after looking back, there was no trace of Taiwan Island, the eight big ships began to turn slowly and separate.

Chen Xu went southwest, Han Xin, Cao Shen, Shang Qi went northwest.

Their trip has different purposes, but this voyage will officially kick off the prelude to the Great Sail of China, because just when Chen Xu's first fleet crossed the southeastern seas, more than ten large sea boats were sailing from Yingzhou to Langya. These ships included old flat-bottomed stairs with modified sails and new pointed sea boats. Each ship had hundreds of people, including alchemist Motu, many young men and women in their teens, as well as many short, black and thin natives in Yingzhou.

On the deck of a brand new and new sea boat in the middle of the fleet, a beautiful woman in a colorful skirt was looking into the wind. Behind the woman stood a middle-aged man wearing thick linen clothes, burly and thick arms, carrying a big sword in his hand, with a expressionless face like a statue.

"Uncle Nie, do you think Chen Xu is lying to me?" The woman turned to look at the big man, with great worry and uneasiness on her beautiful face.

"No!" The big man spitted out two words in a simple manner, but his skin jumped slightly, as if something was ignited in his eyes. He couldn't help but hold the sword tightly and said hoarsely, "If he lied to you, I would kill him!"

"No, you can't kill him. If he dies, the world will be vast and there will be no place for us in the whole world..." The woman suddenly became emotional, and then slowly calmed down and her eyes were red and choked and asked: "Uncle Nie, did we...have we done something wrong at the beginning!"

"What is right and what is wrong? We and him are not fellow travelers, but I really didn't expect that in just a few years, he would actually reach his current status. The momentum is now long, and the best result is to accept his arrangements. If he said it right, if he could find what he said about Australia outside of Nanyang, your dream of restoring the country will definitely be completed, and Uncle Nie can finally settle down and study martial arts..."

"Uncle Nie, I'm sorry!" The woman held the man and sobbed.

"It's Uncle Nie who is sorry for you. It's just that he was not good at learning skills and did not rescue you from Huangshi Gong, which made you suffer all the misery and wander in Yingzhou alone. You have no bonds in your heart when you go to the sky and the earth. You should be happy!" The man gently stroked the woman's hair with his rough big hands, but his eyes were staring at the vast end of the sea and sky, and his face was lonely.

"Yes, I'm unbound from now on, I should be happy..."

The woman murmured and leaned against the man's arms. While slowly closing her eyes, a young man in a T-shirt and shorts seemed to appear in the depths of her eyes. The unrestrained smile in the setting sun seemed to stab her heart like a sharp knife, making her body tremble involuntarily, and tears finally rolled down her cheeks.

...

Next to Langya Shipyard in Donghai, Langya Bay, there is a three-story building made of reinforced concrete. The signs of Qinghe Ship Rental Company and Huaxia Insurance Company are hung at the entrance of the building.

The building was extremely busy, and there were endless people riding on horseback, many of whom were gentry, merchants and even officials in gorgeous clothes.

There are people busy in dozens of rooms on the three floors, including civil servants in uniforms and employees in uniforms. The lobby on the first floor is the busiest. The billboard is crowded with people watching and discussing, and there are people queuing in front of the office counter. Most of them are people coming to do business and inquire. While talking, the crackling sound of abacus and stamping sounds are coming one after another.

"Where is the East Japan Divine Bird Company? Your business of renting three sea boats has been completed. Please go to the port as soon as possible to report to the Joint Customs Office. You can go to Yingzhou to make a fortune by obtaining the license!"

In an office with the general affairs office on the third floor, a man about 40 years old with a supervisor's nameplate yelled at the door. In an instant, a fat and black man ran in excitedly, took the contract letter with a few bright red seals covered with nodding and laughing at the ear.

"Thank you, Director Yang, thank you!"

"Why thank me? You have a better vision and come early. These ships just passed the inspection yesterday, and there are only ten ships in total. If you come one day later, I'm afraid you will have to wait another month. Let's go!" Manager Yang smiled and waved his hand, picked up a teacup and drank water to take a breath.

"A mere gift is not respectable, these Superintendent Yang will take it to have tea!" The fat black man took out two tickets from his sleeve and quickly stuffed them into Manager Yang's hand.

Manager Yang glanced at the number on it and swept it into the drawer quietly and said: "I have taken the money, but you also have to do things according to the contract. If you violate the contract, don't blame me for turning against you. However, if you encounter some difficult things, you can still come to me. Those who can help will naturally not refuse!"

"Yes, Manager Yang is relieved. Cheng must abide by the contract. It was just because he was on a long voyage. The customs and various offices have not yet been sober. He also hopes that Manager Yang will remind him to help. If Cheng's fleet makes a fortune in Yingzhou, he will definitely not forget Manager Yang's kindness at that time!" The fat black man nodded quickly and said.

"You are thinking carefully. Indeed, the shipyard, leasing company, dock and customs office are still not working together. Many things need to be run away repeatedly. So, take my name to the dock and find Manager Hu of our company..." Manager Yang took out a snow-white hard cardboard business card from the drawer, which was printed with Qinghe Ship Rental Company and a name named Yang Dan.

"Thank you, Director Yang, thank you!" The fat black man took the famous post with both hands and thanked him again and again before leaving with the contract and the famous post.

In Langya Bay, there is a dock dock that lasts for several miles. The shore is filled with thick logs, and the sheds are one by one. Tens of thousands of people are busy inside. The cattle and horse trailer is pulling huge cabins and keels back and forth. The high and low booms and pulleys are undulating and swinging. The sounds of knives and axes, cutting, cutting, sawing and sawing wood are gathered together. In the ironware workshop, countless craftsmen are also nervously processing and manufacturing various spare parts based on the drawings. The whole bay is very lively in the midst of the crowd.

The most eye-catching thing in the entire bay is the long line of docks where giant sea ships are being assembled and built. The largest one is more than 40 meters long and the main masts standing in the middle are as high as twenty meters high. The dense masts on these giant sea ships are like forests, and the craftsmen who are being built are surrounded like ants, which looks very visually impactful.

These huge sea boats are either just starting to lay keels, or are already installing cabins, or are laying installation decks and cabins, and several of them appear to be completed, and the ship workers are stepping up the painting of tung oil or installing cables and sails.

At the end of the dock at the easternmost point of the shipyard, there is a row of docks, with ten brand new sea ships docked on the docks, two of which are thirty meters long and eight are twenty meters long. All of these ships have been built, and the hull numbers have been sprayed, and the words Qinghe Ship Rental Company are sprayed in the center of the hull.

Half a day later, the fat black man who received the lease contract brought a large group of boatmen and sailors to the gate outside the dock.

"The person who comes will stop!" Several soldiers wearing leather armor and holding long spears stopped a group of people. A warrior with a waist knife raised his hand to stop, "What's the matter with you when you come to the dock?"

"This is our charter contract. Manager Yang asked us to come to Manager Hu..." After getting off the car, the fat black man handed the contract and the famous post to the warrior to check.

"It turned out to be the owner of the ship. Manager Hu is in the second floor office of the building there. Go!" The warrior raised his hand and let it go as soon as he saw the famous post. Several soldiers opened the horses at the gate. The fat black man bowed and thanked him and drove straight into the dock area.

"Fortunately, I gave me some tea money!" The fat black man said to another young scholar in the car after getting in the car.

"Haha, since ancient times, money and silk are just about exchanges. Why should Cheng Gong sigh? Although the Queen of Qinghe is a disciple of the immortal family and is not short of money, his subordinates are still ordinary people, and they can only be able to make peace with money. Now Cheng Gong's ship has been rented and the permit order has been obtained, and he will soon be able to get rich!" said the young scholar with a smile.

"Of course, I have to thank my gentleman for his advice this time, otherwise Cheng would not be appreciated by Mr. Lu!" The fat black man bowed with emotion.

"Haha, I can't tell you, it's just that I have an old age with Mr. Lu. This time I get the silver mine development rights and will definitely gain a lot..."

"I heard that this silver mine was originally developed by someone, and the developer was very famous. Why did it suddenly come out this time?" The fat black man was still a little confused until now.

"I heard that the commercial bank that developed this silver mine had an old age with the Hou of Qinghe, but for some reason I had to give up Yingzhou and go to the South China Sea to develop. Then the customs office obtained the permission of the Secretariat and released the development rights of the silver mine. As for the inside story, Mr. Lu told me not to say it, so don't ask too much. Just make money. Remember, give 10% of the profits every year to Mr. Lu to ensure your life's glory and wealth..."

"Yes, sir, don't worry, Mr. Lu's elements must not dare to deduct it. However, the silver mine development cost is huge. If you use other harvests in addition to silver mines, you will have to help hide some of them. At that time, the benefits of Mr. will definitely not be missing..."

"Haha, that's natural. I'm short of money now. Damn, the housing prices in Xianyang are so expensive..."

While the two were talking, the carriage kicked and stepped on, and soon came to the front of the two-story reinforced concrete building next to the dock.

After getting off the bus, the fat black man went straight to the second floor with the contract and the famous letter to find Manager Hu. He didn't know how to communicate sneakily inside. Soon a man in a blue uniform accompanied the fat black man to go downstairs and walked to a row of sea boats docked by the dock and pointed at them. Soon, Manager Hu called a group of ship workers to give instructions. The boatmen took a ladder and carried paint buckets to the bottom of the hull number, and started painting on it with brushes. After half an hour, there were several different names on the side of the three sea boats, such as "Yangtzen Divine Bird", "Honghao", "Huanzi" and "Qingluan" on the side, indicating that these ships belonged to three merchant ships of the Japanese Divine Bird Company.

"Thank you, Director Hu, I will invite you to have tea when I return from Yingzhou next time!"

After everything was finished, the fat black man took the young scholar and a few followers on the boat to say goodbye to Director Hu.

"Haha, okay, then Hu is waiting for the owner of the ship to return from Yingzhou to make a fortune. However, I reminded me that I heard that Yingzhou, North Korea has not been peaceful for more than a year. If development is to go smoothly, it is best to go to the Governor's Office to visit Governor Xiao when you pass by North Korea. If he takes care of him, it may be smoother!" Director Hu reminded.
Chapter completed!
