Ocean, in this era, most people are respectful of him, even the heroes of this era, have not thought of exploring the overseas world, the development of ocean trade, after all, in the hearts of the people of this era, the Celestial Empire is orthodox, is the center, overseas is just some small islands.

In Li Junchen's heart, the ocean has a completely different meaning, whether it is for Liangshan's money and food, or for the future long-term planning, it is inseparable from a powerful maritime force.

To have sea power, first of all, there must be a ship, and then arm on the talk, in the original trajectory of the Water Margin world, when it comes to shipbuilding, "Jade Banner Pole" Meng Kang is naturally one of the Chu Qiao, and Shi Qian has also reported that Meng Kang was taken in by Deng Fei, the owner of Yinmachuan, because of the supervision of the ship escorting Huashigang, killed the promotion officer, and was taken in by Deng Fei, the owner of Yinmachuan Village, and is now in Yinmachuan.

With the prestige of Liangshan, it is not difficult to merge Xiaozhai's Yinmachuan into Liangshan. It's just that in Junchen's opinion, among the original three heroes of Drinking Machuan, only Pei Xuan is known as a good man, and the other two are not enough for this qualification, Deng Fei's eyes are red, he is a guy like Yan Shun and Wang Ying, who likes to make soup with people's hearts, not to mention that in this era when the body is skinned and received by his parents, even in later generations, such behavior is definitely defined as a beast; And Meng Kang was even more because the ship escorting Huashigang capsized, and he was afraid that the above would find faults, so he killed his boss and promoted the officer, such an act, who dares to use him, even if this person is willing to change his mind and be a new person, but he can't even build the ship that supervised Cai Jing to escort Huashigang, let alone in a higher-level sea ship, Junchen doesn't want to use such people, so that the elite of Liangshan will be buried for no reason.

This matter has been haunting him for an unknown amount of time, and he has discussed it many times with Guan Zhongren, but to no avail. On this day, he was discussing with Guan Zhong and others, when he suddenly saw Zhang San come to report, "Brother, Gongsun Daochang brought Chao Gai, Liu Tang, and Bai Sheng to come and say that he wanted to thank his brother." ”

"Please!"

Zhang San led the order to invite Chao Gai and others to enter, Junchen said: "It seems that An Daoquan's ability is indeed not small, before I went to Qingzhou, the injuries of the three were still quite serious, and it was only a few days after returning to the mountain, and the three of them were able to go to the ground, which was really wonderful!" ”

Guanzhong nodded yes, "That's true, my mother has been sick for many years, and I have also visited famous doctors, but they can't be cured. ”

Not long after, Chao Gai and others entered the house under the guidance of Zhang San, and when they saw Junchen, they bowed their heads and bowed, "Chao Gai, Liu Tang, and Bai Sheng worship Xie Junchen's life-saving grace, if there is a dispatch in the future, I will never give up!" ”

Junchen hurriedly helped up a few people and said: "Chao Tianwang is serious, you and I are both sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, there is no need for this, I believe that if Junchen is in trouble, the king of heaven will also do his best to rescue, and ask the king to sit down and talk." ”

After Chao Gai sat down, he sighed and said: "I have known Song Gongming for nearly 20 years, but when things come, I am not as good as the Junchen brothers who have never been masked, it is really unpredictable, and the world is unpredictable!" It's just that Chao has something unclear and wants to ask his son. ”

Junchen and Guanzhong glanced at each other, "King Chao, please speak!" ”

"When Shicai Chao came in, I saw that everyone had a difficult look on their faces, but when they came to the cottage, they encountered something difficult, and asked my brother to inform me that Chao would definitely follow the work of dogs and horses!"

Hearing this, Junchen thought for a moment in his heart and said: "But there is one thing right now, King Chao Tian has been walking in the rivers and lakes for a long time, I don't know if you have ever heard of anyone who is good at making sea ships?" ”

Originally, I didn't expect Chao Gai to have any ideas, Chao Gai was bold and righteous, and he made many friends with martial artists, and he really wouldn't make friends with technical talents like shipbuilders.

I didn't want Chao Gai to listen to it, so I laughed, "If you want to talk about the things on the side, Chao may really have no choice, but in this matter, Chao really has such a person!" ”

As soon as Chao Gai said this, Junchen hurriedly asked, "Who is this person?" Where is it now? This matter is related to Liangshan's future and fate, and he can't help but be nervous.

Chao Gai was also quite surprised to see him so nervous, but he also knew that he was only temporarily living here at the moment, and he had not joined the gang, and there were some confidential matters, and it was normal not to know. I heard him speak: "Chao has a distant relative, it should be Chao's uncle, named Chao Shuozhi, once in the Jinshi, but he has always been upright, so he is not loved by the people in power, and now he is idle in Yizhou's home, although he is full of wealth, but he is most proud of the art of shipbuilding, Chao said a polite word, when it comes to the art of shipbuilding, especially sea ships, no one can beat it. ”

As soon as Chao Gai said this, Junchen suddenly realized that there was indeed such a number one person in history, one of the three masters of shipbuilding in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the best seagoing ship designer in this era.

"In that case, can King Chao repair a book and summon him here?"

When Chao Gai heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "It's not that Chao is unwilling to write this letter, it's just that a certain uncle has some misunderstanding with Chao's lineage, even if Chao has a letter to him, I'm afraid he won't sell Chao's account." With that, he blushed and lowered his head.

Seeing this, everyone laughed, thinking about it, how could Chao Gai, who has such a temperament, meet the temperament of a literati, how can he give him a good look.

"Such a person, how can it be a letter that can be summoned, in my opinion, or when I go to invite in person, to show my sincerity in Liangshan!"

Hearing Junchen say this, Wang Zuo was the first to stand up, "No, my brother is the lord of Liangshan, just like the commander of the three armies, he should sit in the cottage, transfer all the brothers, and preside over the direction of the cottage is a big thing, go down the mountain to Yizhou, invite Chao Lao and other small things, the younger brother is not talented, I am willing to go to give it a try!" ”

When he heard the words "my brother is the lord of Liangshan", Junchen subconsciously glanced at Chao Gai, the original lord of Liangshan, in the original trajectory, was not played to death by Song Jiang with these words!

"Are you going?" Junchen lowered his head and groaned slightly, "It's not impossible for you to go, it's just that my brother is still not ready, and now the world is not peaceful, in my opinion, it is the right thing to find a brother to accompany you." ”

Wang Zuo already had a case in his heart, and when Junchen finished speaking, he continued: "The little brother is not talented, dare to love the head of the Lin sect and go out of the mountain, and accompany the little brother to go together!" ”

Junchen nodded and looked at Lin Chong, "Second brother, I still need to bother you to go on a trip, accompany Brother Wang Zuo on a journey, and be sure to invite Mr. Chao back!" ”

"Brother, don't worry, this matter is easy to hear!"

Asking someone to go up the mountain is very simple in everyone's opinion, there is no difficulty at all, it is as easy as touring the mountains and rivers. It's just that no one would have thought that it was so easy to have an accident!

It has been almost half a month since Lin Chong and Wang Zuo went down the mountain, and there has not been a trace of news yet, Junchen's heart faintly feels that something is not good, and he only feels that something big is about to happen.

I was thinking of calling Shi Qian to come over and ask to see what was going on in Yizhou, but I didn't expect to look for him yet, Shi Qian came to the door first, and the first thing he said when he met, "Brother, the big thing is not good!" Lin Chong and Wang Zuo's two elder brothers lost Yizhou, and now that the people sent by Gao Yu have arrived in Yizhou, they will wait to talk about Lin Chong and Wang Zuo's two elder brothers to be escorted to Bianjing! ”
