Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

“Good wine”

Luo Chunxin put down his glass and couldn't help but continue, "This rose dew is really the best wine. I have drunk countless kinds of wine at my age, but I have never tasted a wine that makes people feel so comfortable."

"As long as Master Luo likes it."

Ye Jintang's words "Master Luo" directly challenged Luo Chunxin's identity.

He just laughed dryly twice, "It seems that you two came prepared."

Luo Chunxin naturally knew that it was impossible for him to drink so much rose dew for free.

"Master Luo, I won't beat around the bush with you. This time we are here to invite you to come out of retirement."

Ye Jintang was a very straightforward person and quickly explained the whole story.

"The Qin State has long been in ruins, and the people have been living in dire straits. It is imperative to open trade ports. Our goods can be sold overseas, and the people can find more opportunities to make money."

"Please ask Master Luo to come out and help us build warships and cargo ships."

"The court has so many skilled craftsmen, who need an old man like me? This noble lady should seek help from someone better."

Luo Chunxin glanced at the rose dew on the table. Although he was reluctant, he still refused Ye Jintang. He didn't want to take this tiring job. The thought of building warships for the court made his head buzz.

"Master Luo, don't be so hasty to reject me. Take a look at this."

As he spoke, Ye Jintang took a piece of wood from Liu Yin.

"Master Luo, take a look and see if you recognize this piece of wood."

Luo Chunxin was confused and thought that he had seen many kinds of wood, so what kind of special wood could the noble man in front of him take out?

The wood in front of me is unremarkable, the color is a little dark, but the texture is very good, and the fine patterns are very beautiful.

The moment Luo Chunxin took the wood, he immediately felt something was wrong. The wood in his hand was too light, so light that his heart skipped a beat.

He is a mechanic and has handled countless types of wood since he was able to hold chopsticks at a young age. Precious woods are generally heavier, and he can tell that right away.

There is also an extremely precious kind of wood that is relatively light. He only got one piece of this lightweight wood in most of his life.

"This is?"

Luo Chunxin lowered his head and carefully examined the wood in his hand. The fine texture on it represented the age of a tree. Judging from its fineness, the wood was at least 100 years old.

Feeling the texture of the wood again, Luo Chunxin's fingers trembled slightly and he looked at Ye Jintang in disbelief.

“Is this the Five Elements Wood?”

"Master Luo is indeed a master of mechanical engineering. He even knows such a rare tree species as the Five Elements Wood."

"To be honest, I only learned about the existence of magical trees like the Five Elements Wood from ancient books."

As he spoke, Luo Chunxin suddenly looked up at Ye Jintang.

"My nobleman said that the wood used to build the ship would not be the five elements wood, would it?"

"Exactly."

When Luo Chunxin heard Ye Jintang say this, he was stunned on the spot. If he remembered correctly, Five Elements Wood was a treasure among trees.

The wood is as hard as iron, and the freshly cut Five Elements Wood looks no different from other trees.

But after being dried, its weight is much lighter than that of other trees. Ancient books record that a boat made of five-element wood can last for a hundred years and a thousand years without rotting.

Such precious wood is naturally extremely scarce. There may not be even two trees growing in a large virgin forest.

Moreover, the Five Elements Wood grows very slowly. Just look at its fine grain and you will know that it will only grow to a thickness that a person can hug in a hundred years.

Are you kidding me? Using such precious wood to build warships.

"Does the noble man have the five elements of wood in his hand now?"

"Of course, as many as you want."

Luo Chunxin was dumbfounded. The nobleman in front of him was too generous. He could give him as much of the Five Elements Wood as he wanted.

"Master Luo, are you interested in designing a warship using the five elements of wood? I believe that with Master Luo's attainments in mechanical engineering, the warship he designs will surely be invincible on the sea."

If rose dew cannot attract Luo Chunxin, then the five elements of wood will definitely make him fall in love.

As a master of mechanical engineering, if he could make a warship using the five elements of wood in his lifetime, he would have no regrets in his life.

"Okay, I'll take this job."

After thinking it over again and again, Luo Chunxin didn't want to have any regrets, so he finally agreed.

Things went much more smoothly than Ye Jintang had imagined. After she and Luo Chunxin agreed on the date, they prepared to go down the mountain.

Before leaving, Ye Jintang asked Luo Chunxin curiously, "Master Luo, I have a question. It is rumored that you live halfway up Wushan Mountain. How come you moved to the mountain?"

Luo Chunxin smiled awkwardly and said, "Everyone knows that I live halfway up Wushan Mountain. People come to harass me from time to time. I really have no choice but to move to the top of the mountain."

"I see. I thought Master Luo moved to the top of the mountain because the fog halfway up the mountain was too thick and unsuitable for living."

"Your Excellency knows everything. The thick fog on Wushan Mountain can be controlled. When I go down the mountain soon, I will remove the mechanisms on the mountain and let the thick fog dissipate."

Hearing Luo Chunxin say this, Ye Jintang secretly admired him in his heart. He was indeed the master of mechanical engineering of the Tianqin Kingdom, and he could even control the fog and sea of ​​clouds so easily.

After coming down from the mountain, Xiao Mo, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

"Jintang, why haven't you mentioned the Five Elements Wood? A lot of wood is needed to build warships and merchant ships. If the Five Elements Wood is really that precious, we can't afford it."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since you dare to say it, you must have been prepared."

When Ye Jintang's space was upgraded to level four, many different kinds of plants appeared in the wooden box next to it, and Five Elements Wood was one of them.

Some time ago, she wanted to build a warship, so she planted all the usable wood in the space, and after comparison, she chose the five elements of wood.

But all the farmlands in her space were planted with the five elements wood, especially the five elements wood in the black soil, which grew very well. It had only been a few days, but it had grown to be as thick as a person. After a few more days of growth, it would be ready for harvest.

According to Ye Jintang's plan, they were supposed to stay outside for one night, but everything went smoothly and they returned to the palace together in the evening.

"Mother, mother, where have you been all day?"

When Pingping and Anan saw Ye Jintang coming back, they rushed towards her with their short legs like little cannonballs, one of them hugged her legs tightly, and the other held her hand tightly, fearing that she would run away if they let go.

Xiao Mo, who was standing by, saw that the two children loved Ye Jintang so much, and he felt sour in his heart, "Don't these two little guys look like their daddy?"

"Daddy, we miss you too."

Pingping glanced at Xiao Mo, but had no intention of letting Ye Jintang go.

"You two little rascals, come here and let daddy hug you."

Xiao Mo opened his arms towards the two children, and they reluctantly ran over to let him hold them.

After playing with the children for a while, Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang went to the study together to discuss the matter of approaching the warship.

This conversation lasted until late at night.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but complain to Ye Jintang, "When will Pingping grow up? I don't want to be the emperor for even a day."
