Chapter 200 Double Flying Shear

Although Shuisheng is just a seaman, he also bought a boat before, and he even bought a big boat of [-] materials.Of course, what he bought was not a pair of flying shears, and the speed was much worse.However, no sea hunter would use double flying scissors to drive the sea. This ship is one of the favorite ship types of sea merchants.

There are two types of ships that are most commonly used by maritime merchants in the South China Sea, one is double flying shears, and the other is fish maw boats.Shuangfeiscissor is a fast ship, and six thousand materials is considered a big ship. As for the eight thousand materials that Shui Sheng said just now, it is nonsense, and Shuangfei Shear does not have eight thousand materials.

As for the fish belly boat, the style is quite strange, with a big belly, deep waterline, and a large cargo capacity. The largest one is said to have more than 1 materials, but the aquatics have never seen it.A boat of eight thousand materials is the biggest boat in his opinion.

The advantage of a fish maw boat is naturally that it can load a lot of cargo. You must know that different cargoes have different volumes.It is also a boat of [-] materials, and the fish maw boat can hold [-] materials of cotton seeds, which is impossible for other ships.Of course, no one would transport such things as cotton seeds to the South China Sea. The income was too little, so it would be more cost-effective to transport ready-made clothes directly.

Fish maw boats carry a lot, and clipper boats run fast. Merchants in the South China Sea will choose different ship types according to the different goods they transport.Those who can afford to use double flying shears are all real big businessmen.

You San smiled at Shuisheng, it could be seen from Shuisheng's appearance that this kid was from the sea, and his skin color was different from Ren Daoyuan and others.The people who catch the sea naturally know the price of the boat, but now it is different from usual, even if you have hundreds of thousands of gold coins, you may not be able to buy the boat, let alone the double flying shears with large loading capacity and fast speed.

"Little brother, don't think it's expensive. You can't buy it for ordinary people. If you don't believe me, I will give you 30 gold coins right now, and you can buy a [-]-material double flying shear for your brother to try." You San said with a smile, He has this self-confidence, and he can buy oil from the current ship, and there are not many on the entire Qiushui Island. These few are blessed, so don't be unaware.

"Okay, I bought it, how much do you smoke?" Ren Daoyuan didn't hesitate at all, and made a decision directly. 30 gold coins is indeed very expensive, but he really needs a boat, and a clipper with [-] gold coins is a good thing.

You Sanyi gave a thumbs up: "Master, you are the one who understands, this little brother, five years ago, even if the double flying scissors were not worth much at that time, you can win it with [-] to [-] gold coins at most. As for Now, you can go ask, the few shipping companies in Qiushui Island all order double-flying shears. Even if you get a photo, it has something to do with getting the goods in three to six months. Go to the normal line, and the line will arrive. It's normal after a year."

You San's words were not wrong, and he looked at it from his perspective. If he really wanted to row, even if he rowed for two years, he might not be able to get it.The boat company in Qiushui Island is larger than that in Bingzhou, and the speed of shipbuilding is much slower.The main problem is the material. The wood on the island is not good, so it needs to be transported from the mainland of Kyushu.

Now the materials of several ship companies are somewhat insufficient. If they are really lined up, God knows when they will be lined up.

"Grandpa, don't worry about the lottery. I'll be part of the 30 miles. In the past two years, too many people have come to Qiushui Island, and they all want to buy boats. Those who go to the auction have nowhere to go. "You San continued.

"Oh, how many people are there on Qiushui Island now?" Ren Daoyuan asked calmly. He knew that there were people from Qingzhou and Yunzhou who came to the South China Sea, but he didn't know how many there would be.Qiushui Island is the closest big island to Bingzhou. Most people who want to come here will come here.

"It's really hard to say the number of people. Usually, our Qiushui Island has a population of around 50, and there is a constant flow of merchants from the sea. There are about 200 people. In the past two years, our Qiushui Island has never been less than [-]. More than [-] million people." You San said softly, this data is not available to ordinary Youzi, and You San has relatives in the Yangshen Mansion.

"So much?" Even Ren Feng was taken aback this time.

"Yes, there are so many, and they are still increasing. Of course, among these people, the real big heads are not people like you." You San laughed. This statistic really shocked these people. Stop it, that's what he wanted.

"Then who is the most?" Gong Zifeng asked.

"Of course they are slaves. There are boats and boats of slaves who are all from Yunzhou." You San laughed, very lewdly.

From Yunzhou to Manzhou, and then to Bingzhou to go to the sea, to Qiushui Island, the distance is not close. The slaves who can be transported here are naturally not ordinary slaves.

Usually only two kinds of slaves are transported here for sale.One is the main force of slaves, strong slaves. These people are strong and can work. They are the people most needed by the major islands, and there are not enough people to sell.Of course, most of these slaves were originally Yunzhou soldiers, and some were civilians captured by Manzhou.

The other is beautiful women. Beautiful women have always been a scarce resource.Although the population of the South China Sea Islands is small, they have never been short of money. The sea is a huge treasure house, which provides enough wealth for the South China Sea Islands.Rich people naturally want beautiful women.Although Yunzhou beauties are not very famous, there will always be some.

In addition to the above two types of people, there is actually another kind of slave, but there are relatively few such slaves.Official slaves, the so-called official slaves, are the family members of Yunzhou officials. These people have developed a feud with Manzhou. Except for some who were killed, the rest were also sold to Qiushui Island.When they arrived at the South China Sea Islands, the possibility of them returning to Kyushu to seek revenge from the Manzhou people became too small, almost impossible.

You must know that the islands in the South China Sea are divided by islands. All the islands are slaves. It can be said that the six major islands are all slaves. Special circumstances, otherwise it will never be possible to get rid of slavery.

"How many slaves are there on Qiushui Island now?" Ren Daoyuan asked in a deep voice. The news of You San was a bit heavy for Ren Daoyuan.Yunzhou and Qingzhou have always been regarded as enemies, but it is said that the Yunzhou people were transported here and sold as slaves, but it makes people feel sad.

"It's hard to say, there are always a few million." You San thought for a while and said, this data is not accurate, every day new slave ships arrive, and a large number of slaves are taken away.The islands in the South China Sea, the further south they go, the more people they need.

"Let's go, let's take a look at the boat first." Ren Daoyuan said, let's talk about the slave matter later, anyway, there is no one related to him in Yunzhou. There used to be a Dong family, but now the last two survivors of the Dong family are both here. What about Yanqing Mansion in Qingzhou?

Shuang Flying Shear looks very beautiful, and it stops on the sea not far away. This is not a pier, and the water on the beach is too shallow. Even a ship with a low draft like Shuang Flying Shear cannot dock. It can be rowed across with a small sampan.

The draft of the double-flying shears is less than two meters deep, and when fully loaded, it is less than four meters. The bow is raised high to facilitate breaking waves.There are a lot of sails, the hulls on both sides and the skeleton dragon bridge in the middle, there are sails, and there are as many as four for the main mast alone.It is said that all the sails are spread out, and there are 160 two sides in total.

The shape of the boat and the number of sails are the secret of the fast speed of the double-flying shears. In fact, this is not a secret, and all sailors know it.The reason why the double flying shears are formed is to enhance the stability of the hull, so that it is not easy to capsize when sailing fast.

Of course, the speed of the ship is fast enough, but it also has shortcomings. In this world, there is no perfect ship shape.Due to the shallow draft of the double flying shear, the ability to resist wind and waves will be relatively poor.You can't see it at ordinary times, but it's very dangerous when you encounter a storm.

When the fish maw boat is fully loaded, even if it encounters a hurricane, it has a certain ability to resist and will not sink the ship immediately. However, with double flying shears, you must always pay attention to the weather and walk around the hurricane.

Ren Daoyuan immediately fell in love with this double-flying shear named Swordfish.The wind and waves on the sea were not strong, and the two hulls were connected by a framed dragon bridge, making them appear extraordinarily stable, much stronger than that fishing boat.

According to Shuisheng, this boat is at least [-]% new. You San is not lying, the speed is definitely not slow, it may be twice as fast as a fishing boat, but such a fast speed will cause great damage to the hull , it is best not to sail with full sail.

The load capacity of Swordfish is also much larger than that of a fishing boat, and the manpower brought by Shuisheng is not too much, only in his early fifties, barely able to operate this boat, but it will be very hard.There are even fewer people in the Ren family, less than 50 people, which will make the ship look very empty, can hold more supplies, and can sail further.

Judging from the results of Shui Sheng's calculations, as long as Ren Daoyuan is willing, he can carry supplies for more than half a year for a hundred people, and as long as the hull can withstand it, he can sail continuously for half a year.

Of course, this kind of thing is almost impossible. Any ship needs to be maintained after three or two months of sailing, otherwise there will be too much trouble.Not to mention that the parasites growing on the bottom of the ship will slow down the speed of the ship, and the wood of the hull will be deformed during long-term sailing, endangering the safety of sailing.

The owner of the ship was an old man in his 60s, who looked very energetic. Ren Daoyuan didn't step forward to answer, but asked You San to talk to him, and directly handed out 30 gold tickets, and Ren Daoyuan didn't need to worry about the rest.There are benefits to spending a lot of money, and there are no messy things.

The business went so smoothly, and You San was also extremely happy. The money he earned was another tens of thousands of dollars. The money he earned in the past two years was more than what he had earned in the previous ten years.After handing over the boat charter to Ren Daoyuan, the more he looked at Ren Daoyuan, the more pleasing he was. This master is really not short of money.

In fact, he didn't know that Ren Daoyuan was also distressed, but the money had to be spent, and people like You San would still be useful in the future.You must know that the Ren family is not only the people he brought, they may also buy a boat.The situation in Bingzhou is already obvious. They just want to trap the Qingzhou family to death and don't want them to enter the South China Sea.

"Shuisheng led people to collect the boat, drive the boat into the dock, hand it over to the tax officer, and then go back to the inn to rest. Let's go back first." Ren Daoyuan gave the order. Once the boat is in hand, of course it must be sent to the dock. It is safer there. He wanted to use such a person, but he didn't dare to use it with confidence.The ship contract is only useful on the pier, and who will care about you when you are at sea.
