No wonder everyone is excited, it is obvious that a ship with no watertight compartment is a world of difference.

Whoever wants his ship safe and sound, whoever wants to make a lot of money, has to change ships quickly.

You know, these owners have their own ships, but not all of their cargo.

It's all their own goods, one is that the cost is too big, and the other is that the risk is too high. What if the ship sinks? What if the goods are unsalable?

People are sharing the risk, consciously or unconsciously.

A ship has a watertight compartment, and a ship does not have a watertight compartment, and a fool knows how to choose. What businessman would choose one without a watertight compartment?

The economic losses are second, and the sailors on board. To put it bluntly, people are exchanging their lives for money.

If everyone's boat is similar, of course it's the same everywhere. But if someone else's ship is much safer than his own, who would want to work on his own ship?

Now, the largest shipyard in Quanzhou belongs to the Lin family. Whoever he gives the goods first and then to whom can simply determine the rise and fall of a maritime merchant!

"Old man Lin, our two families are related, the great-granddaughter of my aunt's uncle's second uncle, married to your nephew's cousin!"

"Can you do this? Old man Lin, if you don't have anything to say, I'll give you cash. Here are the money tickets for the Jufenglong Silver No., you should quickly collect the deposit! ”

"Silver is a ball, huh? Old man, I'm the second pillar, I think I blocked a knife for you at the beginning. Now I don't want anything else, but I beg you to sell me your first ship, as much as you want!" ”

……

Zhang Yuanchang closed his eyes when he saw this situation, and wailed in his heart, it's over! In the fight for the ship, the Zhang family was completely defeated!

Why am I so indebted, not to run Cui Erlang? It is really against heaven to do evil, and people can't live if they do evil!

This is good, as soon as the watertight compartment technique comes out, whoever has the shipyard now has the final say. Although my Zhangjia also has a few small shipyards, it is completely incomparable with the launching output of the Lin family's shipyard.

In addition, this method was proposed by Cui Erlang, who knows what other ideas he hasn't said? Everyone has to be skeptical.

I'm afraid that even if it is two ships that are exactly the same, people will have to choose the Lin family.

Lin Sanlang's face flushed with excitement and said, "Okay, Cui Erlang, Brother Cui, enough friends!" It's really giving me a long face today. Watertight bulkhead, such an ingenious idea, how did you come up with it? ”

In fact, Cui Geng himself is now feeling dizzy. Absurd dreams are just dreams, and many places are vague.

For example, watertight compartment technology, he only remembers that this technology appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, to this day, the Lin family has not mastered this technology.

Is it because the watertight compartment technique has not been invented, or has it not been transmitted to Quanzhou now? Then only God knows.

Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "I want to say that I dreamed about it, do you believe it?" ”

"Faith! Of course I did! Now you are saying that the sun in the sky is square, and I believe it! How's that, enough friends, right? ”

"Uh...... I still don't believe it! ”

"It doesn't matter, I just asked casually." Lin Saburo smiled and said, "What I actually want to know most is, when you dream, did you dream of other things?" Like a watertight compartment? ”

Cui Geng thought about it carefully, and there really was.

This kind of thing is much more powerful than watertight compartment technology, and is known as one of the four great inventions of China.

It's the compass!

The sea is vast, and what people fear most is neither reefs, nor storms, nor pirates, but getting lost!

There is no direction to work hard, which is the most desperate.

For this reason, people have thought of a variety of ways to orient themselves, such as using the sun, observing the stars, and building road signs, but everything is inferior to the compass!

Although a long time ago, there was a predecessor of the compass, Sinan, but this thing has too much error, that is, it is better than nothing.

Only with the invention of the compass, and even the quadrant and sextant, did it become possible for mankind to open the Age of Discovery!

But should we tell the story of this great invention now? Cui Geng was really a little hesitant.

First of all, the compass is deeply associated with the art of stargazing and the art of Kanyu, both of which are believed to influence the succession of the throne.

If you become the inventor of the compass, will you commit any taboos?

Wu Zetian is not a benevolent king, what she likes to do most is to nip all dangers in the bud. It's better to keep a low profile yourself.

Also, how exactly do you do a compass? It seems that a magnetic needle and a shaft can do. But isn't that too simple? Isn't it right?

Seeing Cui Geng's hesitant look, Lin Chuang pursed his lips and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, his tormented heart and liver almost didn't pop out of his throat, and said excitedly: "Is there really one?" Jiro, brother! What is the method? ”

"It's nothing, it's just a tool to guide the way." Cui Geng said: "Now there are many people, let's go back and talk about it." ”

"That's right! Right! Right! Something so important can't be easily let out to others. ”

After a while, Lin Sanlang repented again, and couldn't help but say: "Our Lin family's ancestral training is that everyone earns money, and this is related to the life of the big guy, so there is no need to keep it secret, right?" Why don't you talk about it now? ”

Cui Geng hesitated in his heart, but he just refused.

The two of them bit their ears at this moment, but the others were startled, and they wanted to rush to the front and listen carefully to what was being said.

Okay, a watertight compartment technique is so powerful, and if there is anything like it coming out, if you don't know, how heartwarming it must be.

Everyone's voices gradually decreased, and the effort was not great, and the entire hall was silent.

One by one, they all pricked up their ears and looked at Cui Geng and Lin Sanlang, hoping to hear something.

"Shichiro, something happened to your brother! We orphans and widows depend on you, you can't ignore it! ”

Suddenly, a terrible woman's cry came!

Immediately after the sound of the stairs, the woman who had passed the sixtieth year walked up to the third floor.

She was followed by three middle-aged men, dressed in silk and satin, with panicked expressions in their eyes.

Zhang Yuanchang knew each other at a glance, it was the wife of his brother Zhang Mingfang, Yu, and his three sons.

The Lin family has always been the eldest son to inherit the family business, and has become one of the top wealthy families in Quanzhou for hundreds of years.

But the Zhang family is different, and the family business that has always been inherited by the eldest son has long been lost. However, Zhang Yuanchang's family, who was born in a side branch, is becoming more and more prosperous.

Now the patriarch of the Zhang family is Zhang Mingfang, not Zhang Yuanchang.

The patriarch still has a lot of power, and although Zhang Yuanchang is not afraid of this broken patriarch, he doesn't want to make the relationship too stiff.

Therefore, he let Zhang Mingfang be the shopkeeper of Wanghailou and gave him a dry share. Fortunately, Zhang Mingfang is an honest man, conscientious and conscientious, and the Wanghai Building is becoming more and more prosperous.

Zhang Yuanchang hurriedly helped Yu up and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, speak slowly." My eldest brother's business is my business, and I will help if I can. ”

"Woe to you! Just this morning, a young man named Wu Liangju came to Wanghailou with a group of slaves and took your brother away. said that he colluded with the thieves to burn the martial arts family to a white ground, and asked your eldest brother to pay for the loss! If you open your mouth, you will ask for 100,000 yuan, and your brother can't take it out, so he will beat him and take him away. I want to report to the official, but I heard your nephew say, what kind of royal relative is Wu Liangju, and the current assassin Feng Pu is a shrunken ......"

"Say no more!"

Zhang Yuanchang was so scared to death, he said in his heart, sister-in-law, you didn't inquire much before you came, the owner of the family is here. The word "turtle" came out of his mouth, and the eldest brother was really finished.

He hurriedly said: "Lord Feng loves the people like a son, and he will definitely make decisions for you, you should have gone to the yamen to complain in the first place." Of course, it's not wrong to come here, because Feng Tingshi is here. ”

Then, he turned around and bowed to Feng Pushen and said, "I still hope that Lord Feng will be the master of my Zhang family!" ”

Feng Pu is really difficult to ride a tiger now.

He knew Wu Liangju too well, and he knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

It must have been that this kid's loss that day was too great, so he thought about the loss of the embankment. So, in the name of colluding with the thieves, Zhang Mingfang was arrested.

His purpose was not to arrest people but to blackmail, and the target of blackmail was Zhang Yuanchang.

It's just that Zhang Yuanchang is not easy to mess with, and this reason for arresting people is too far-fetched. So, he went around in a circle and arrested Zhang Mingfang.

Zhang Mingfang is the head of the Zhang family, as long as Zhang Yuanchang still wants to mix in Quanzhou, he must be rescued, and then he can only break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

However, the fact is that this is such a fact, how to solve it?

In the past, I could pretend to be deaf and dumb and let both of them deal with it on their own. But now, all the people in Quanzhou City are watching here, how can they pretend?

The name "shrunken turtle" is not good to say.

Of course, if he wanted Feng Pu to be tough and martial arts in front of him, he didn't dare.

In the end, Feng Pu said slowly: "According to this official, the thief just had a meal in Wanghai Tower, and it is indeed a bit far-fetched to say that Zhang Mingfang colluded with them on this basis." ”

Zhang Yuanchang was quite dissatisfied, what is far-fetched? It's just vexatious! The thief didn't have a word engraved on the door of his head, they want to come to dinner, can we stop it? Feng Tingshi's opening is biased.

However, no matter what, Feng Pu can manage this matter, which is a great progress. He had no choice but to continue: "What my lord said is, thank you Feng Tingshi for clearing my eldest brother's injustice." Wu Liangju there, please bear your heart. ”

Feng Pu frowned slightly, and said: "Wu Liangju is the bitter master of the thief's arson case, and there is also anger for a while. The official thinks, is there any misunderstanding here? Why don't you let this official be a middle-aged person and tell you about it? ”

What?

Say peace?

You are the biggest official in Quanzhou, shouldn't you act in accordance with the "Tang Law" and bring the criminals to justice?

How did you become a tooth man with a mouth?

Zhang Yuanchang said in embarrassment: "That Wu Liangju is very scoundrel, can this be done?" ”

Feng Pu said: "Don't worry, he should give the official's face." Besides, even if he doesn't give face to his own official, won't he give face to Guo Duwei? ”

Guo Ke also heard about Wu Liangju's life experience, and when he heard about himself, he was stunned, what is this my? Feng Pu, you guy is purely pulling the cushion back!

But when everyone said it, he resolutely didn't weaken his prestige and offend his boss, so he had to say: "The face of the subordinate is not as good as that of Lord Shi, that is, to be a witness." ”

As long as Guo Ke is willing to go, Feng Pu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Guo Duwei is too modest." ”

He turned his head to look at Lin Zhixiang and said, "Brother Lin will also take a trip, right?" ”

Lin Zhixiang stood up without hesitation and said, "No problem, it should be." ”

Feng Pu, Lin Zhixiang, Guo Ke and Zhang Yuanchang are the four most dick people in Quanzhou City now, and it is useless if there are too many people going to this kind of thing.

The four of them got up and walked out, and when they arrived at the door, Lin Zhixiang suddenly stopped, looked back and greeted, "San Lang, you should come with you." And Cui Changshi, take advantage of this leisure, why don't you go? ”
