In Shuangyu Port, Zhou Chong accompanied the eunuch Wang Gui to visit Shuangyu Port. As the navy's supervisor, Wang Gui naturally could not go back during the Chinese New Year. In addition, he had no relatives, so Zhou Chong simply invited him to Shuang.

It can be more lively during the New Year of Yugang. In addition, Shen Ying also came to Shuangyu Port together. However, Shen Ying was very interested in the casting of the Folang machine cannons. He has been staying in the firearm workshop these days and has not come out.

.

"Please look, Eunuch Wang, what we see is the Beigang District of Shuangyu Port. Every day, countless merchant ships dock here, and a large number of silk, porcelain, cotton and other goods are loaded onto the ship, and then exchanged them for the local area from Nanyang, Japan and other places.

This specialty is at least ten times the benefit. It is precisely because of this that it attracts so many people to participate in the maritime trade!" Zhou Chong pointed to the scene of hundreds of boats competing in the port.

He said proudly that Shuangyu Port can be as prosperous as today, which is inseparable from his efforts.

Wang Gui is about the same age as Zhou Chong, and both of them want to have a good relationship with each other, so they get along very well. Now seeing that Shuangyu Port managed by Zhou Chong is so prosperous, Wang Gui can't help but sigh.

He said: "Mr. Zhou is really talented. No matter what he does, he is better than others. This Shuangyu Port is so prosperous that he should be able to make a lot of money every day, right?"

The last sentence exposed the nature of the eunuch Wang Gui. As a eunuch, he is not humane. Money is their first hobby, and Wang Gui is no exception. Speaking of which, the eunuch who was the military supervisor had just taken office and was short of money.

At that time, but the army had to fight, Zhou Chong and Shenying were very strict, and Wang Gui knew the importance of the matter, so he didn't dare to extend his hand to the army to ask for money. As for local government affairs, he couldn't get involved. So Wang Gui has been now

I couldn't receive any money, at most some gifts given to him by some local officials when they visited him, but the value of these things was limited.

Thinking that he had finally come out but didn't find a chance to make money, Wang Gui couldn't help but sigh. He was very happy to be able to work with Zhou Chong, after all, he had a good relationship with this famous person in front of His Majesty, and in the future

He also has a better future in the palace, but as the saying goes, there must be gains and losses. It is precisely because Zhou Chong is too valued by Your Majesty that Wang Gui did not dare to ask for money blatantly. Otherwise, if it were someone else's words, he would not care about anything

If you don’t fight, fill your pockets first.

Although Zhou Chong didn't know what Wang Gui was thinking, he could guess one or two of them when he saw the change of his expression on his face, but he didn't make a sound. Instead, he took Wang Gui to a better berth at the port.

He pointed to a large sea boat docked on the berth and said, "Eunuch Wang, how do you look at this sea boat?"

Wang Gui was regretting that he could not make money. At this time, he heard Zhou Chong let him look at the boat, and then looked up and found that this boat was not the same as being larger. However, he still said casually

He praised: "A good ship, such a big ship, I don't know how much cargo can be loaded?"

"Hahaha~" Zhou Chong suddenly laughed a few times, then said, "Eunuch Wang, this boat is about a hundred steps long and more than thirty steps wide, with a load of five hundred tons, that is, more than four hundred stones.

The latest ship built by Shuangyu Port Shipyard originally belonged to our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. However, some time ago, Eunuch Wang helped Zhou a lot and was very grateful. Therefore, he specially transferred the ship to Eunuch Wang. I hope that the old man will be fine.

Don't refuse!"

On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Junwan begged Zhou Chong for something. That is, she hopes to see Zhang Rui again, because she wants to find out why the other party suddenly disappeared? And why she gave up her identity as a juren and became a eunuch.

?These two questions have been tormenting Bai Junwan, and she wants to figure it out no matter what.

Zhou Chong was actually very curious about what Zhang Rui had encountered before that such a big change happened? Moreover, the only one in this world who could let Zhang Rui tell the truth was probably Bai Junwan. So in the end, Zhou Chong invited the king.

Gui helped him to transfer Zhang Rui from the palace to Ningbo. This was a piece of cake for Wang Gui, so he agreed without hesitation. As a thank you, Zhou Chong sent the boat in front of him.

Give it to the other party.

"What? I gave it to me?" Wang Gui said with an incredible expression on his face. Before the Chinese New Year, Zhou Chong did ask him to do something, but this matter was simply for him.

It's not worth mentioning, so Wang Gui didn't expect Zhou Chong to give him any benefits, but now the other party actually takes a huge sea ship with one move, which is worth a lot of money.

"Haha, this ship is given to Eunuch Wang. Speaking of which, Eunuch Wang not only helped Zhou a lot, but also rushed from the capital to Ningbo, staying in the army every day to endure hardships, which made Zhou Mou

It was because I couldn't bear it, so giving this ship to my father-in-law was also a little care from Zhou!" Zhou Chong said with a smile again.

"This... how can you be so embarrassed?" Although Wang Gui wanted to refuse rationally, he had already said what he had accepted. After all, he had been in Ningbo and Shuangyu Port for a while and knew a ship

The cost of construction is extremely expensive, especially the sea ship in front of me is still a new ship, with such a large load, so I guess I can't build it without tens of thousands of taels.

But no matter how happy it was, Wang Gui quickly thought of another thing and said in a dilemma: "Mr. Zhou, although the Sa family is now sent to you as a military supervisor, I am afraid that they will return after the battle is over in the future.

In the palace, there is no time to take care of this ship. In addition, it takes a lot of people to start this ship, but I don’t know anything about this. What should I do?"

Wang Gui also showed a bit of resentment on his face when he said this, and even complained that Zhou Chong would not give gifts. If he really wanted to thank him, it would be better to give him a lot of money. Now the other party gave him such a big ship.

Although it is very valuable, how can he have time to deal with such a small matter?

With Zhou Chong's personality, he naturally would not make such low-level mistakes, so he smiled and explained: "Eunuch Wang, don't worry. In fact, the reason why Zhou Chong gave this ship to his father-in-law was because of his father-in-law. In fact, this ship was

When handling the ship normally, you don’t have to worry about it. As long as your father-in-law holds the ship to our Chamber of Commerce, our Chamber of Commerce will naturally arrange the ship's workers and cargo for the ship. All the benefits of the ship will be

It belongs to my father-in-law, that is, my father-in-law doesn’t have to worry about the ship at all, he just needs to wait and collect the money!"

Wang Gui was overjoyed when he heard this, and he also sighed that Zhou Chong really could give gifts. Although he liked silver, having such a sea boat that could make silver was simply a golden egg.

This is much better than giving money directly. To put it bluntly, even if he loses power in the future, he can at least live a wealthy life with this ship.

Thinking of this, Wang Gui was even more satisfied with the sea ship. He was excited and then Zhou Chong got on the ship, and then visited the inside and out of the ship. Finally, he even told Zhou Chong to give it to him.

The best boatman should not sink the boat. Zhou Chong agreed with a smile.

In fact, although Wang Gui is now a military supervisor, his status in the palace is not very high. At most, he is valued by Gu Dayong a little, and it is not worthy of Zhou Chong to win him over with such a heavy gift from a sea ship. However, Zhou Chong

Wang Gui is very optimistic about this because the other party is not only smart and tactful, but also knows how to advance and retreat. At least he knows when he can reach out and when he can never reach out. This is already very rare for a eunuch, and there is a valley.

It is important to use it. If you help me a little more in the future, then Wang Gui's day of success will not be far away, so Zhou Chong is willing to make some investments in Wang Gui. Anyway, he is not short of money at all now, even if he loses money.

It's no big deal.

After finally waiting for Wang Gui to visit the sea boat, Zhou Chong suddenly said, "Eunuch Wang, this sea boat is still a new ship, and it was not named when it was launched. Since it now belongs to you, you are not as good as

Daddy, just give it a name, so that it will be different from other ships in the future!”

When Wang Gui heard the name, he immediately became interested. It was the first time that someone asked him to name him. Therefore, he thought for a while, but finally said with a bitter face: "Mr. Zhou, the family."

Although I have read several books in the inner study room, the ink in my stomach is actually limited. I don’t know what name should be given for a while, and I don’t know if there are any taboos in the name of the sea boat. What names do other people’s boats give?

”

Zhou Chong smiled when he heard Wang Gui's words: "Don't be nervous. The name of the sea boat is actually not very particular. At most, it is a relatively auspicious name, such as Ping An, Jinghai, Pabo, etc. Some people also like it.

Name the ship by yourself or your family..."

"Okay!" As soon as Zhou Chong said this, Wang Gui suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Since others named it by themselves, I also named the ship by myself, so I will call it. Wang

Premium number'."

Seeing Wang Gui so excited, Zhou Chong silently swallowed the rest of his words back to his stomach, because he originally wanted to say that naming the ship with his own name is lazy people who don’t like to use their brains, and in the future, he will be

The ship sank, which would be too depressed, but since Wang Gui was so excited, he would naturally not discourage the other party's excitement.

After giving the gift, Zhou Chong accompanied Wang Gui to visit the remaining ports, and even took a boat to the other two port areas for a walk. After Wang Gui saw the prosperity of the three major port areas with his own eyes, he said that
Chapter completed!
