Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 189 The Ship Is Built
"Cut, just go! Don't regret it!" Seeing that the old man insisted on refusing, Xia Wende stuffed the bank note into his arms and walked out of the house.

The old man followed behind, and when Xia Wende came out of the gate, he quickly closed the door and put the latch on.

"Oh, you..." Xia Wende turned his head, looked at the closed door, and thought in his heart that he must look good to this old man next time!

Under the moonlight, Xia Wende took out the banknote from his arms and thought about finding an inn to stay overnight. However, when he took a closer look, he saw that it was not a banknote, but a piece of paper with writing on it!

Xia Wende reached into his pocket, but couldn't find the banknote, "Where's my banknote?"

Looking at the letter in his hand, Xia Wende walked to the open space where the moonlight was relatively bright, and looked closely at the words, only to see that it said: "Having power does not mean that you can be lawless and force good people into prostitution. I will send you to the bottom to experience the suffering of the people. I hope You can feel something."

After reading the contents of the letter, Xia Wende frowned, "That brat must have done it! When I go back, I will definitely skin you! Ah!"

Xia Wende roared angrily, the old man behind the door shivered, luckily he sent it out, look, he really fell ill!
There had been no news from the crown prince for three days. King Jin had already realized the seriousness of the matter and called all the staff in the palace to the study.

"Where do you think the Crown Prince will be?" King Jin asked.

"Could it have been robbed?" An aide guessed.

All the accompanying soldiers were missing, and no trace of anyone had been found so far. He guessed that the prince had been kidnapped by others.

"Who will rob the prince?" King Jin asked, could someone threaten him by robbing the prince?

"It's definitely not an ordinary person who can rob the prince under the escort of a hundred government soldiers." The staff said, ordinary people don't have that strength, and they dare not touch the prince on King Jin's territory.

"My lord, could it be..." Another aide pointed to the top, and the others understood it tacitly.

"Could it be that we went to contact the newly appointed Lord Yan of the Iron Mine, and the emperor found out about it? That's why he robbed the prince?" one person guessed.

"It's possible, I'm afraid the emperor wants to keep the son in Beijing as a hostage to contain the prince."

King Jin's brows became tighter and darker, and his face became darker. "Send someone to contact the people in the capital to see if there are any clues in the capital."

"Yes!"

Zhou Yue just got the news that Datong Village came. Mr. Wu took the lead to build the boat, and Zhou Yue immediately set off and rushed back to the village.

Back in the village, Zhou Yue went straight to the mountain, and soon came to the place where the ironware was made, Wu Xiaoyi was standing in front of the cave and waiting.

"Fourth son! The boat has been built!" Seeing Zhou Yue, Wu Xiaoyi immediately stepped forward and spoke to Zhou Yue excitedly.

"Great, Mr. Wu, take me to have a look!" Zhou Yue was also very excited. After more than three months, it was finally made!

Lord Wu nodded, "Fourth Young Master, come with me!" He said and took Zhou Yue to the east.

After walking for more than 100 meters, Zhou Yue saw a large ship, the hull of which was wrapped in iron sheets, which looked like a giant steel beast, which was very shocking!

Zhou Yue stepped forward and stepped on the wooden ladder to board the boat. There are two floors on the boat, and there is a watchtower raised above.

The eight-masted sailboat can travel faster. There are stern oars on both sides and tail of the ship that can enter the water very deep. It can be stepped on by manpower to generate a strong driving force.

"Fourth son, according to calculations, this ship can carry about 2000 people, which can be said to be the best in the world!" Wu Xiaoyi followed behind and introduced.

Before that, he was Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he was also in charge of the court's shipbuilding. The largest ship in the Great Xia Kingdom could only carry about 600 people. Even in Nanyue Kingdom, which has the most advanced shipbuilding technology, the largest ship could only carry about 800 people.

The ship in front of him can carry at least 2000 people. Such an advanced ship was born under his supervision. Wu Xiaoyi is very excited when he thinks of this. This is enough to make his name go down in history!
"Master Wu, thank you for your hard work. The boat is very good. When the weather is better, we can arrange to launch it!" Zhou Yue said. It has been raining recently, and when the weather is fine, we can go to sea and try the boat.

"Okay! We invite the Fourth Young Master to join us for the ship trial!" Wu Xiaoyi nodded and said.

Zhou Yue took out two blueprints from her bosom and handed them to Wu Xiaoyi, "Master Wu, you bring people to manufacture a batch of crossbows. These are the blueprints. You need to keep them secret. Each process is produced separately, assembled in secret, and the blueprints are protected. "

Wu Xiaoyi took the drawing and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, "Fourth Young Master, this, this weapon is much more powerful than bows and arrows!"

Being able to fire twenty arrows in a row is simply a one against ten existence!
"This is a repeating crossbow machine, and more matching crossbow arrows need to be made. If you don't understand the drawings, please ask me again." Zhou Yue warned.

"Okay, don't worry, Fourth Young Master, the blueprint will never be leaked!" Wu Xiaoyi said while patting his chest, Fourth Young Master believed in him so much, he couldn't live up to this trust!

If the blueprint of this kind of weapon is in the royal family, it must be held by the emperor himself, and the fourth son gave it to him, so he must trust him very much. Thinking of this, the corners of Wu Xiaoyi's mouth could not help but rise.

"By the way! For this ballista, you build two large ones and install them on the bow and stern." Zhou Yue said, there must be weapons on board, and they must be able to fight back when encountering pirates.

Wu Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, "Yes, the effect is definitely very good!"

"If you need anything, just mention it, and I will arrange for someone to deliver it." Zhou Yue touched the wood on the boat, which was painted with several layers of tung oil and tree varnish, and it seemed to have a good waterproof effect.

"Not yet, those irons are enough for now." Wu Xiaoyi thought for a while and said.

Zhou Yue nodded, then got off the boat, and took out a silver note from her arms, "Master Wu, this is a 1 tael silver note, you can share it with the shipbuilders, it's considered a bonus."

Wu Xiaoyi took the silver ticket, "Thank you, Fourth Young Master!" The Fourth Young Master is really generous, everyone can at least share ten taels of silver!
Zhou Yue took out another 1000 tael bank note, "Master Wu, this is your share."

"Fourth son, you can't help it. Wu's family was saved by you, so you don't have to treat yourself like this." Wu Xiaoyi declined. He did this willingly, and he had a sense of accomplishment. He was not greedy for gold and silver pearls.

"Take it, you will be rewarded for your merits, and you will be held accountable for your faults. You deserve it." Zhou Yue stuffed the silver ticket into Wu Xiaoyi's hand, and then walked down the mountain.

Looking at Zhou Yueyuan's back, Wu Xiaoyi smiled gratifiedly.

As soon as she walked into the village, Zhou Yue saw Wu Yun, the head of the house, standing in front of his house.

"Mr. Miracle Doctor!" Wu Yun saluted immediately when he saw Zhou Yue.

"Is there anything wrong with the head?" Zhou Yue asked.

"My lord genius doctor, it's like this, my brothers want to find some work at the foot of the mountain, look..." Wu Yun said.
