Chapter 86 Sea Ships
Uncle Liu went in and saw that his young lady and Mr. Sun were resting against the window. He didn't dare to make a big noise at the moment, so he walked over quietly, wanting to whisper to wake up his young lady that it was time to go back home.
"Choke" Uncle Liu was just about to approach his young lady when he saw a flash of cold light. His waist was already blocked by a long sword. As long as the other party moved forward gently, it would be impossible for the gods to save him.
"Bang" Uncle Liu knelt down directly. It was too scary. What does this belong to?
"Master Sun, it's me." Uncle Liu slowly turned back to look at Sun Yu with a smile that was uglier than crying. For fear that it was too late, Sun Yu would step forward and kill him directly.
"I also want to protect your young lady, please forgive me." Sun Yu returned the sword to its sheath. Who told you to be so sneaky?
"Uncle Liu, why are you kneeling? I will tell you in front of my father when I get back, and I won't punish you." Deng Wei just woke up and glanced at Uncle Liu kneeling on the ground, feeling a little strange.
"Thank you, miss." Uncle Liu wiped the sweat from his head and said humbly.
"Miss Wei'er, you are a loyal guard, but your strength is lacking. Quanzhou seems calm, but in fact there are turbulent undercurrents. You should be more careful." With these three guards, not to mention myself, even my subordinates
None of the other young men were as good as him. If he had calculated his plans without any intention, he would not have been able to stop her. Presumably the Quanzhou guard Deng Mao had never thought that someone would dare to attack his daughter in Quanzhou City.
"I rarely go out on weekdays. I didn't expect something like this to happen when I went out today. I will be more careful in the future." Deng Wei stood up and saluted.
"Well, let's go, it's time for me to go out for a walk." Sun Yu stretched out. He had to go for a walk in Quanzhou City, especially the port, which was very lively.
The two parties said goodbye, and Sun Yu led a group of people towards the port. The closer to the port, the more pedestrians came and went.
"Sir, look, um, thirty thousand taels?" When Lao Cheng left just now, he grabbed an unfinished elbow and gnawed on it when he suddenly saw a familiar figure and shouted immediately.
"Where did the thirty thousand taels come from? Where is it?" When Sun Yu heard the money, his whole body became energetic. He was really scared of poverty.
"That's right there, we entered the jewelry store." Lao Cheng wiped the corners of his mouth, ignored Chen Qiba's disdain, and pointed to a jewelry store.
"What the hell, thirty thousand taels of silver, can you still grow legs?" Sun Yu said angrily, thirty thousand taels of silver, what kind of quantity is there, and even went into a jewelry store. In that jewelry store, you can have three hundred taels of silver.
That’s pretty good.
"No, sir, you just entered the jewelry store for thirty thousand taels." Lao Cheng put down his elbow and gestured.
"I'm going to work with you to beat him half to death. I don't even remember his name? His name is Chen Qisi. Remember it. If he comes to seek revenge from you later, you have to ask him his last name." Sun Yu said angrily,
That Chen Qisi is normal here, he must be here as Chen He's helper.
"How about we stop tying them up and go to General Chen Hongjin to exchange for 30,000 taels, or maybe 10,000 taels." Lao Cheng was happy when he thought of this. I must have contributed to this transaction among the 30,000 taels.
Get money quickly.
"What are you thinking about? This is Quanzhou. If you can do this, how can Chen He leave just now? Isn't your biological son worth much more than this adopted son? Now that we have met an acquaintance, let's go in and have a look." Anyway, idle time is idle.
Say hello when you meet someone you know, even though they probably don't want to see them.
Chen Qisi also just came to Quanzhou not long ago. Chen He had something to do, so he also made an appointment. Naturally, the troops were divided into two groups. The person he made an appointment with was a merchant's daughter. He also made an appointment after returning to Zhangzhou.
I was introduced by someone else. Now that I’m in Quanzhou, I’ll give it a try.
Chen Qisi was choosing hairpins for her, and he liked one and was about to try it on her. The woman was wearing a light yellow dress, a little shy, and lowered her head.
"My dear nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much." Sun Yu was addicted to taking advantage and greeted him warmly when he met.
"It's you." Chen Qisi looked up and was confused. His hairpin almost fell to the ground. The first person was Sun Yu, followed by two strong men, one who injured him and the other who caught him.
, are all acquaintances.
"I asked my nephew why he has no time to hang out in Quanzhou City today. It turns out that he had an appointment with a beautiful woman, but I interrupted him." Sun Yu cupped his hands and smiled at the two people in front of him.
The woman glanced at Sun Yu. He was no more than a young man. He kept calling himself an official and called Chen Qisi his wise nephew. She was also confused.
"What are you going to do? You and I are not related. I don't dare to accept the word "nephew". Chen Qisi blocked the woman behind him. None of the three of them could do it by themselves. If the three of them were to do it together,
, it’s finished by itself.
"The prince and my father are talking about friendship. General Chen is paying homage to the prince as nephew. Is there anything wrong with me calling you nephew? Don't worry, it's nothing. It's just that there are still some people in my mine who are looking forward to it. Don't ask for nephew.
Let them down." Sun Yu said with a smile. In the final analysis, he just wanted to make some money.
"This matter has nothing to do with her. Let her go first, and I will tell you the difference." Chen Qisi now only wants to send the woman away, and does not want to be embarrassed in front of her. The woman feels Chen Qisi's love and care, and
I like it more and more.
"My nephew, what are you thinking about? It's just a business. We are in love with each other. I'm just afraid that my nephew will forget, so I just remind you. I live in the inn. If you are interested, you may as well come to the inn when you are free.
Let’s talk in detail at the hotel, so I won’t interrupt and let’s go first.” I just wanted to get some more money, but I didn’t expect that Chen Qisi was too nervous and bored. However, he was traveling with his companions, so I was really rash.
He immediately stopped disturbing him and left with the two door gods.
"Brother Chen, who are they? What kind of business are you doing?" When Sun Yu and the others left, the woman asked.
"Ah, it's just some small things. They have a batch of goods in hand that they want to sell to the army. They want to use my method and put in a good word in front of my adoptive father. I didn't agree last time." Chen Qisi breathed a sigh of relief.
, I didn’t expect that Sun Yu would leave as soon as he said he would. Finally, this matter could be settled, and I felt a sense of gratitude in my heart.
"Sir, thirty thousand taels, let me go like this." Cheng Zhenbei finally threw away the gnawed bones and said, feeling his full belly.
"Otherwise? Looking at the entire Quanzhou City, who dares to cause trouble these days and make it clear that he will not give face to King Jinjiang." Sun Yu said angrily. Of course he wants money, but he must get it in a wise way.
"Oudi, this is too big." It was the first time for everyone to see a real sea ship, and they all sighed. Compared with it, any carriage or building boat is just rubbish.
"The sea is very rough, and a small boat will definitely not be able to move." In another memory, Sun Yu saw many large ships, but they were relatively calm. The captain was about eight feet long, more than three feet wide, and it was as big as two stories without the mast.
High, it can be considered a giant.
"How much cargo can this ship carry? Tsk tsk, it's really amazing." The first thing Lao Cheng thought about was how much cargo this ship could carry and how much money it would make.
"Xiao Sheng has met the Governor. This ship is one of the largest ships in the caravan, with a total of 3,800 materials." Song Wumian saw Sun Yu and his party from a distance.
, walked over and said. One material is equivalent to one stone, about 120 kilograms, and 3,800 materials is equivalent to a displacement of more than 200 tons in later generations. In a wooden ship, it is considered a huge thing.
"Young Master Song, there is no need to be polite. This boat belongs to your family?" Sun Yu was not surprised. As a local snake, the Song family must know the whereabouts of himself and others, and it would be effortless to create a chance encounter or something.
"It doesn't count. My Song family just occupies some shares. The four families share it." Song Wumian waved his hand and explained that since the merger of the four families, all the merchant ships have taken shares as expected. The Angry Shark was indeed his family in the past.
Yes, now it can only be counted as shared by the four major families.
"Mr. Song, won't you take us up to have a look?" Sun Yu was also a little curious about the ship at this time. Everyone around him must also want to go up and have a look, so he treated it as a tourist.
"It's all right. Lord Governor, please come with me." Song Wumian greeted him with his hand, signaling Sun Yu to take a step forward. He was half a body behind.
Sun Yu nodded, looking at Song Wumian's posture today, I'm afraid he was right.
Everyone got on the deck, excitedly looking left and right, and even stood up and jumped up and down. They were bragging a lot this time. I have been on a ship much bigger than your house. This is called knowledge and bragging rights.
"Sir, why don't you come with me and take a look." Song Wumian led Sun Yu and his party along the stairs to the ship's warehouse. It was very neat and tidy inside. It was mainly used for stacking goods, but now it was empty.
"It would be a waste to leave it empty like this and not go to sea." Sun Yu came out and touched the heavy mast and said. It is just soaking in the sea anyway. It is better to go out to pull goods and put it in the seaport to gain any profit.
"The governor doesn't know something. This sailboat has to go with the wind. The current direction of the wind is wrong, so we have to wait for some time." Song Wumian thought to himself, there is finally something you don't know. This sailing has to be done according to the weather, and it happens every year.
There is a fixed time, so you can't just leave if you want.
"Can we only travel with the wind?" Sun Yu was surprised when he heard this. That's not right. The sea coachman in later generations seemed to be from the Netherlands. He didn't have this restriction.
"Of course, come here, raise the sail. Your Majesty will see it clearly at a glance." Song Wumian finally felt that he had regained the upper hand and couldn't help but want to show off and introduce the operating principle of this sail to your Majesty.
"Sir, you see, by adjusting the angle of this sail, you can reasonably use the wind force to keep the ship along the route..." Song Wumian pointed to the raised sail and explained to Sun Yu.
Sun Yu couldn't listen at all. He only had one thought in his mind. I actually forgot that all hard sails are used now. If soft sails can be made out, you can go to sea whenever you want all year round. Then
It's not money rolling in.
"Haha, yes, Mr. Song, you are very good." Sun Yu patted Song Wumian's shoulder with a satisfied look on his face. This trip was the right one. He would start studying the soft sail when he got back.
"This is what a junior should do." Song Wumian also looked excited, thinking that he had explained the operating principles of the sail well and won Sun Yu's appreciation.
Song Wumian and Sun Yu continued to wander around the port. Sun Yu was thinking about the soft sail. The principle seemed to be the same as that of airplane wings, called Bernoulli's principle. Of course, it didn't exist in this era yet, so he might be able to
Call it Sun's principle.
Deng Mao was on duty at the Yamen in Japan. In the past few days, Quanzhou City had seen an influx of immigrants, and the state capital was short of manpower, so soldiers had to patrol the streets every day. He was also afraid that something would happen, so he stayed at the Yamen all day to prepare for emergencies.
