Zhang Nan was relieved after hearing Lao Liu's affirmative answer, if Lao Liu Tou told him that it couldn't be made here, Zhang Nan really didn't know what expression to use to express his feelings in his heart.

After handing over the drawings to Lao Liutou, Zhang Nan followed Lao Liutou to greet him again.

"That, Old Liu, I just heard you say, do you want a craftsman rating? But I think you're an old veteran in this dockyard, so why don't you have a rating? Zhang Nan was a little strange.

Before Zhang Nan's words fell, the tiger next to Lao Liu Tou said: "This lord looks at what you said, where is my master the old qualification in the dock, my master is omnipotent in the dock, let's put it this way, there is no boat in the world that my master can't build." ”

Hearing his apprentice praise himself like this, Lao Liu Tou also blushed, but he didn't interrupt his apprentice to speak, after all, he didn't dare to say anything else, in terms of shipbuilding, Lao Liu Tou was an expert and professor-level figure in this dock.

So for such a compliment, Lao Liu Tou thinks he deserves it.

"Don't hide it from Lord Zhang, this old man has long wanted this craftsman rating, after all, the old man has built a ship for a lifetime, and now the loess is half buried, and he actually caught up with the craftsman level that can be recognized by the imperial court, who doesn't want to, but this craftsman assessment can only be carried out in Chang'an City, the old man is old, Chang'an City is far away from Qiongzhou, and the old man is afraid that he can't help this bump."

Lao Liu Tou said helplessly, after all, in Datang, which has low transportation capacity, it is almost impossible to let an old man rush from Qiongzhou to Chang'an City, and there are still very good economic conditions.

Zhang Nan also nodded after hearing this, which reminded Zhang Nan that although the policy he proposed was good, it was not perfect, just like the old Liu Tou in front of him, he couldn't rush to Chang'an City to take the exam, but the old Liu Tou was a real and talented person.

"In this way, Liu Lao doesn't need to be like this, if the shipbuilding is successful this time, then I will make my own decision and give you a fourth-level craftsman rating, what do you think?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Well, that's a good feeling." When Lao Liu heard this, he was suddenly a little at a loss with excitement.

Fourth-level craftsman, that's a level that is only one step away from a fifth-level craftsman, how can this not make Lao Liu Tou happy?

"Master, don't be too happy, this craftsman level is to be examined, you can believe what he says." Huzi whispered to Lao Liu's ear and said, but Cheng Huaimo, who had sharp ears, heard it.

"Say what to say, my eldest brother said yes, that is, yes, the entire Tiangong Department is my eldest brother's final say, the fourth-level craftsman said to give, then he will definitely be able to give." Cheng Huaimo was obviously very dissatisfied, and a little apprentice dared to question his eldest brother.

After hearing this, Lao Liu Tou hurriedly said: "Ah, please forgive me, this lord, Huzi is unintentional." ”

Zhang Nan waved his hand generously and said, "It's not in the way, don't you have to take the exam for the assessment of craftsmen?" Then Liu Lao, this shipbuilding is regarded as your exam, as long as it is built, I can give you this fourth-level craftsman, and you don't have to go to Chang'an City, I will send someone to send the certificate of the fourth-level craftsman, what do you think? ”

After hearing this, Lao Liu Tou hurriedly surrendered his hand, and his excited beard trembled three times and said: "The old man will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." ”

After dealing with this matter and greeting Lao Liu Tou a few more words, Zhang Nan left the dock, after all, Zhang Nan's stomach reminded him that it was time to eat, and Zhang Nan had no choice.

Wang Lun was also familiar with the road, and took Zhang Nan and his party into a small village.

"Lord Zhang, this is the largest fishing village outside our Qiongzhou City." Wang Lun introduced.

After Wang Lun's introduction, Zhang Nan set his eyes on the fishing village in front of him, and it was obvious that this was a scenery that Zhang Nan had never seen before.

The old house has gone through many years of wind and rain, and the seaside not far from the fishing village is a neatly arranged number of small fishing boats. At this time, the sky had not completely darkened.

With the setting sun, the smoke drifts towards the sky, and the sound of the waves and the laughter of the villagers can be heard in my ears.

"It's a nice view." Zhang Nan sighed.

Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Cheng Huaimo suddenly picked it out and said, "Big brother, what's so beautiful about this, isn't this just an ordinary village?" ”

Zhang Nan glanced at Cheng Huaimo, for such a rough person who can only march and fight, Zhang Nan doesn't know how to explain to him what beauty is.

Wang Lun soon took Zhang Nan to the house of the man who had just greeted him.

"Liu San, didn't you invite this official to dinner just now? I'm here. Wang Lun stood at the door with a smile and shouted.

Soon, Liu San came out of the house with straw sandals.

"Lord Wang, look at what you said, you come to the villain's house for dinner, and it's too late for the villain to be happy." After Liu San finished speaking, he saw Wang Lun followed by Zhang Nan and a group of people, and quickly turned his head to the house and said, "That, the child, there are distinguished guests at home, and you have made all the fish I caught today." ”

Soon a woman's voice could be heard in the room.

"That, Lord Wang, you sit first, sit first, the room is small, and you have been wronged by so many people sitting outside." Liu San hurriedly greeted.

Wang Lun also beckoned Zhang Nan and the others to sit down. After everyone sat down, Wang Lun and Liu San greeted each other, although Liu San was just a fisherman, but in front of Wang Lun, Liu San still seemed very natural, and it could be seen that Wang Lun and Liu San were officials and people, and they were also friends.

Of course, such a thing is a rare event, and the possibility of occurrence is less than 0.0001 in Zhang Nan's opinion. After all, an official is an official, and the people are the people.

Soon, the meal came up, there was no staple food, only a pot of fish was served, and Liu San's wife also left her and her children's share separately after serving the food and ate it in the room. And the small courtyard outside was reserved for her husband.

Zhang Nan was already hungry, and when the meal was ready, Zhang Nan picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and then said to Liu San: "Then I'm welcome." ”

Liu San heard Zhang Nan's words, and hurriedly picked up, although Zhang Nan was an official from Chang'an City, but after the contact just now, Liu San also saw that Zhang Nan had no shelf, not to mention that Liu San didn't know what kind of official position Zhang Nan was, in his opinion, he definitely couldn't beat Wang Lun, since he can be friends with the prefect, then this official position is smaller, and there is no shelf, then naturally he can get along.

"Lord Zhang, please take care of it, these are all coarse tea and light rice, and there are no good things at home, so you will eat it, my lord."
