Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Hu Chong patted Zhao San on the shoulder and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. A few months ago, we were forced to move away. My wife was worried about her sister, so she went to see her later. You guys haven't come back to the whole village yet..."

He was also curious, so now that they met he had to ask for clarification.

Zhao San sighed: "That's right, it's bad luck, a bad guy appeared in the village..." Then he told the story of Zhao Gen betraying Zhaojia Village and the Shark King.

"That Zhao Gen is really a piece of shit, but you are lucky to have met your current boss."

After listening to what Zhao San said, Hu Chong felt a little envious. Although Zhao San had signed a contract with someone, what Xie Xian signed with them was an employment contract, not the kind of slave contract signed by the Shen family.

Moreover, just by looking at this boat, one could tell that the boss Zhao San mentioned must be very powerful. What's more, the soldiers just now treated Da Wa with kindness and did not treat Zhao San and others as slaves at all.

"That's right! Our boss is a rare good man. I thought I was going to die at that time. When King Shark was caught, I didn't even react. Hehe!"

"The kid's mother was almost dying when he was found. It was the ship's doctor called by the boss who cured him." Zhao San said this sincerely. When he thinks back now, the days he spent in the hands of the Shark King were a living hell.

Since arriving on the ship, Zhao San finally understood what life was like: being able to eat well and have meat every three days, and having fruits and vegetables as snacks on weekdays.

There is no bullying on the ship. Apart from the rules that must be memorized, everyone does their own job and the boss doesn't care what you do.

After finishing his work yesterday, he asked for leave from his manager and went for a walk around the city. He found out that his brother-in-law had become the leader of the Hai Gang, so he went to visit him.

Moreover, according to passers-by, it is not easy for his brother-in-law to be the gang leader. Besides envy, he is also worried.

The two talked for a long time, but Hu Chong did not mention the affairs of the Hai Gang. Finally, Zhao San couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Brother Chong, I heard that you became the leader of the Hai Gang. I haven't congratulated you yet!" Zhao San said.

Seeing that Hu Chong's smile was a little forced, he added, "I heard that all of us fishermen are following you. It's not easy to be the leader of this gang. Now that I'm settled here, I can still help with some small favors."

The worried expression on Zhao San's face didn't seem fake. Hu Chong smiled bitterly. It seemed that even his brother-in-law had heard the news that the Hai Gang was in danger.

In order not to embarrass himself, Zhao Sansu had to be so straightforward and yet be able to speak so tactfully.

It just so happened that he also had a request, so they decided to stay here for more than ten days. Hu Chong asked Zhao San to help look after Hu Taohua and her daughter.

Zhao San nodded in agreement. They were now eating and sleeping on the boat. He would tell Captain Yongji later and let his relatives stay for a few nights. It shouldn't be a problem.

After the two finished chatting, they said goodbye. Hu Chong was filled with emotion. He had wanted to give some help to his wife's sister's family, but he didn't expect that in the end he would have to ask others to help take care of his wife and daughter. It was really fate.

He had observed carefully when he was speaking just now. This eight-slot ship had more cables than other ships, and it seemed that the sails were also different. In addition, this ship was equipped with pulleys and cranes, which were more convenient than a wheel ladder.

The wheel ladder is similar to the modern gantry crane, with wheels at the bottom for pushing and pulleys at the top for lifting heavy objects. It can only be seen in ports and large projects.

He looked at it curiously for a few times, then reluctantly went home.

In fact, it was not only Hu Chong who was curious. Even though the eight-slot ship was parked at the outermost edge, its peculiar shape and cold momentum made it very conspicuous among a row of wide and fat flat-bottomed Fu ships.

"The top is flat like a thoroughfare, the bottom is sharp as a blade, the hull is like a sword, and look, there's a wheel ladder at the back." Several nobles from aristocratic families were fixed in place by the pulley set on the crane as they passed by. No man can resist the beauty of mechanical rhythm.

Glancing at the crowd standing on the dock, pointing and talking over here, Xie Xian held her chin and looked away.

Now that I have some time, I naturally want to take a look at this modified big baby.

"Qingdai, do you think it sounds better to name this ship Benbolba or Babolben?" Qingdai, who was standing behind Xie Xian, twitched her lips and thought to herself that it would be a good idea to just call it the Eight-Slot Ship.

"How about calling it the Black Pearl?" Xie Xian was still a little obsessed with it.

Fu Cang, who was standing at the door waiting, finally couldn't help but knocked on the door, "Well, hello, my lady." He was afraid that if he came in later, he would not be able to call out the name of the ship.

"This is the list of repairs and modifications at the dock."

Oh! Here to collect money. Xie Xian had been enjoying the modification, but now she was asking for money. She pushed aside the paper with the ship's name written on it and looked carefully at the modification fee.

After quickly scanning the last amount below, Xie Xian felt relieved that she could pay it back by selling fish for a few more days. Then she frowned again, "The most expensive material is fir. I remember that this kind of wood shouldn't be that expensive, right?"

"Ordinary fir wood is not expensive, but the masts are long and have to be whole. It is not easy to transport them from the mountains, and when combined with the manpower and material resources, it becomes expensive."

Fu Cang replied respectfully that he was originally an elder of Zhaojia Village and had worked as a master craftsman in the shipyard. However, he had bad luck and returned to his hometown. Less than a year later, he and the other villagers of Zhaojia Village were abducted by the Shark King.

Later, when he heard that Xie Xian wanted to rebuild the ship, he couldn't help but say a few more words, and was promoted to become the shipwright deacon of the second branch of the Xie family.

Xie Xian drew up the blueprints, and after the two of them discussed and revised them, they were sent to the shipyard for renovation. The materials and everything were selected, and the funds naturally came up.

However, he was not familiar with the process of this batch of funds. After Qingdai's instruction, the list he handed to Xie Xian was the third list that had been sorted out. However, the lady could still see the problems at a glance.

Xie Xian has her own way of looking at the account books. She first looks at the total number, picks out the most expensive one, and then makes a horizontal comparison.

"Uncle Fucang, there seems to be nothing wrong with your list. I will also give you the money for the shipyard economy, but the quality of what I want must be guaranteed."

Xie Xian handed over two quotation lists from other shipyards that she had obtained from Xiang Jie.

"Go and ask again. The modification of my ship model must ensure its independence and there cannot be any duplication." She pointed to the shore and looked at the crowd here.

"With the addition of the foremast, the performance of this ship has been improved by at least 30%. If they use this to modify other ships, I will be at a loss, right?" Xie Xian was smiling like a fox at this moment.

Fu Cang's face turned pale: "My lady, this... I am not good at speaking."

"Hey, why bother you with such a small matter? Just let Qingdai and Yongji accompany you there later." Xie Xian waved her hand indifferently, as everyone has their own expertise.

The old man wiped the sweat off his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, this high-paying job is simply not something that ordinary people can do.
