In the next few days, under careful care, Yu Zhen'er's body slowly recovered and she was able to sit up, eat and drink. However, she was still weak and had difficulty getting out of bed.

Wang Changfeng was in a good mood when he saw that she was gradually getting better and she was probably fine.

After a few days of rest and breathing, Wang Changfeng's own cultivation level has returned to about 50% to 60%.

Next, the preparations for going overseas will begin in earnest.

On this day, Wang Changfeng took the two subordinates of Xunlongwei Er in charge of ship equipment and rode to the Jingshi Bao Shipyard on the riverside.

There were already people waiting at the shipyard, who took Wang Changfeng to see the ships under construction in the shipyard, including the large treasure ships that Zheng He was preparing to use for his voyages to the Western Ocean, for Wang Changfeng's selection reference.

Wang Changfeng already had some calculations in his mind and said: "Can you win all forty schools?"

The staff member replied: "Your Majesty, everything has been transported to the shipyard. As long as the regulations are set, it can be installed on the ship."

Wang Changfeng nodded and carefully recalled the records about large warships in "Sea and Sky Foreign Lands". It said that Western countries had a kind of warship with windows on both sides of the ship and cannons extending from it. It could directly hit the side of the enemy's ship and was very powerful.

.

Wang Changfeng asked for a ready-made warship drawing, and he drew a pen on the drawing to trace the openings on both sides of the ship. There were two rows of openings on each side, which were separated from each other and did not interfere with each other. Each row contained ten gun ports, and two rows could hold two.

Ten cannons, a total of forty cannons on both sides.

The construction officials of the shipyard were shocked. Previously, the cannons were placed flat on the deck, and only a few cannons could be placed on each side. They had never seen a direct opening from the side of the ship for cannon shooting. With such a transformation,

In addition to the greatly increased number of cannons that can be placed, the suddenness of the attack and the shooting efficiency are greatly improved.

The official in charge couldn't help but praise: "Master Wang's fantastic idea is unbelievable. With such a successful transformation, this ship will become a real overlord on the sea."

"The overlord may not be certain, but he will definitely become a very terrible killer," Wang Changfeng said with a smile, "pass the order, this ship must be built secretly according to the highest level of confidentiality, no leaks are allowed. The construction time limit is limited to two months, and if it exceeds the time limit, military orders will be dealt with.

.”

The official in charge bowed and responded: "Yes, I will definitely make arrangements properly so that your schedule will not be delayed."

Wang Changfeng nodded, gave some instructions to the staff of the Second Division, and then mounted his horse and returned to the city.

After the ship construction problem was solved, what remained was the most critical manpower issue. Wang Changfeng knew that there was not much time left and could not delay it any longer. The trip to Zhoushan must start immediately.

When I returned to Zheng Mansion, I happened to see Yu Zhener holding Yuezhu and standing in the backyard to bask in the sun.

Wang Changfeng was surprised and happy, and said with concern: "It's just right, why are you so anxious to come outside? What if you slip and fall?"

Yu Zhen'er said angrily: "After lying in bed for a few days, if I don't come out and move around, mushrooms are almost growing on my back. Besides, it's so easy to fall down with the support of the moon beads."

Wang Changfeng quickly found a chair, helped Yu Zhener sit down slowly, and asked Yuezhu to get some water.

Yu Zhen'er smiled and said: "Look at you, you are busy here and there, and you don't know how to take a break. I just want to bask in the sun here, you don't have to worry about me."

Wang Changfeng knelt down, held her hand and said, "Seeing you get better so quickly, I don't feel tired anymore."

Yu Zhen'er lowered her head and tried to take out her hand, but her hand was weak and she couldn't break free. Yuezhu looked aside and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

Wang Changfeng said softly: "I have to rush to Zhoushan in the next two days to arrange the manpower properly. You can rest peacefully in the senior brother's house, with Yuezhu taking care of you. When I come back, I think you should be able to

Free to move."

Yu Zhen'er nodded and said softly: "You can go about your business without worrying about me. Senior brother, Yuezhu and the others are here."

Wang Changfeng looked at Yu Zhen'er's face, which was gradually turning rosy, and was speechless for a moment.

In the early morning two days later, Wang Changfeng had everything arranged, so he took two members of the Xunlong Guard Division 3, as well as Liu Zhiyuan and a dozen other guards, and the group rode out of Zhengyang Gate and headed for Zhoushan.

Zheng He was worried that Ji Gang's last attack would fail and arranged a new assassination halfway, so he asked Wang Changfeng to bring a dozen of the most elite guards for safety. With such strength, he could calmly encounter dozens of Jinyi guards.

Zhou Xuan. At the same time, he arranged for personnel to secretly keep an eye on the movements of the Jinyiwei Yamen, and immediately began to arrange arrangements once an abnormality was discovered.

Wang Changfeng rode on the horse and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Just over half a month ago, he drove a carriage and took Yu Zhen'er and two people on a long journey from Zhoushan to Beijing. Although he didn't have much money, he didn't dare to be extravagant.

It was a joyful time, singing and laughing along the way, so uncomfortable. Now walking on the road, it seems that all the events of yesterday are appearing before my eyes again.

In just a few days, Wang Changfeng's life has completely changed. This change has also affected Yu Zhen'er and even other people around him. He knew in his heart that he would have to be very energetic and deal with it with all his strength in order not to let it go.

When the people around you are sad, don't let yourself be sad about the people around you.

Thinking of this, Wang Changfeng straightened his horse and galloped forward first.

At Zhoushan Pier, fishing boats are still densely packed, and the fish market is bustling with hawking sounds.

At the pier, Wang Changfeng was sitting leisurely in a tea shop, brewing a pot of fine Longjing beside him, and watching the fishing boat in front of him unloading its cargo with contentment.

Liu Zhiyuan and several other guards stood behind Wang Changfeng, watching the surrounding crowds vigilantly. They all secretly muttered why Mr. Wang came to such a place to drink tea. There was a fishy smell everywhere and he stayed there for two days.

That boat was very familiar. It was the one that Wang Changfeng half sold and half gave to the brothers of the Yu family that day. At this moment, the two brothers of the Yu family were leading several fishermen on the boat to carry the catch one basket after another. Obviously, this time

Going to sea was very fruitful.

Wang Changfeng waited for two days and finally found the person he wanted to see.

The Yu brothers finally finished unloading the cargo. The eldest brother, Yu Buyi, was arranging the fishing gear on the boat. However, Yu Buyi jumped out of the boat, stretched out on the shore and moved his limbs a few times. Obviously, this trip to sea was not easy.

Turning his head, Yu Buyi let out a sigh, as if he didn't dare to notice his eyes, took a closer look, and suddenly shouted: "Brother, Brother Wang is back!"

Before Yu Buyi could react, Yu Buyi had already strode towards the tea shop.

Wang Changfeng stood up with a smile, walked out of the tea shop, and walked towards Yu Buyi.

When the two came closer, Wang Changfeng punched Yu Buyi on the chest and said with a smile: "You are getting stronger and stronger!"

Yu Buyi giggled and said nothing.

At this time, Yu BuTong also jumped off the fishing boat, walked over in two steps, and gave Wang Changfeng a fist: "Brother Wang, we meet again!"

Wang Changfeng smiled and clasped his fists in return, saying: "It looks like you've gained a lot from going to sea this time?"

Yu Buyi replied proudly: "That's not true. I went out for a month this time and caught four to five hundred catties of large yellow croaker alone, as well as many other good things. They still cost thirty or forty taels of silver anyway."

"

Yu BuTong shook his head and said: "Don't brag. The market is not that good now. It would be good if you can buy twenty taels."

Wang Changfeng knew that one of the two brothers was steady and the other was free and easy, so he smiled and said: "Now there is a better business, which is neither twenty taels nor thirty or forty taels, but several hundred taels a year. Are you two interested?

?”

Yu Buyi almost jumped up when he heard this: "Brother Wang, are you kidding me? Can the two of us earn several hundred taels of silver a year?"

Wang Changfeng nodded: "There are absolutely no lies."

Yu BuTong was not as excited as his younger brother. Instead, he asked with some confusion: "Brother Wang, don't blame me for being careless. The business you mentioned is not against the law, right?"

Wang Changfeng knew that he would ask this question, and said with a smile: "Those who violate the king's laws will not find honest friends like you two. Let's go to your house and talk slowly."

The brothers of the Yu family were a little confused at first, but suddenly they saw Wang Changfeng followed by several guards, all of whom were very impressive and did not look like bandits who had done bad things. They told someone to see the fishing boat and took Wang Changfeng all the way back to the village.

Yu Buyi didn't have as many ideas as his brother. He walked all the way and introduced Wang Changfeng: "Brother Wang, is this your first time coming to our place? Our village is called Yujia Village. There are hundreds of families in the village, all with the surname Yu."

Wang Changfeng was very interested and asked: "So they are all from the same family? Did our ancestors move from there?"

Yu Buyi said: "I can't tell the exact generation. Anyway, they are all my own. I heard from the elders in the village that they moved here to avoid the war in the Northern Song Dynasty. It has been more than a hundred years."

Wang Changfeng nodded, thinking that this was very good, and there was no need to go elsewhere to recruit people.

When we arrived at the home of the Yu brothers, there were several mud rooms with thatched roofs. There was no one else at home, their parents had passed away, and they themselves had not yet married.

Yu BuTong hurriedly made hot tea for Wang Changfeng and said, "There's nothing good at home. Brother Wang, don't be dissatisfied with a cup of thin tea."

Wang Changfeng held the tea cup and couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said: "You two have worked so hard to fish, but in the end you are just like this. Follow me and don't waste your skills."

Yu Tongtong said: "What kind of skills do you have? I just know how to sail a boat to go fishing. Brother Wang is joking."

Wang Changfeng shook his hand and said seriously: "I really want to discuss something with you two this time. To be honest with you, I am now an official in the imperial court and have an errand. But this errand requires

Going to sea for a period of time requires a lot of manpower. After much thought, you two brothers are good candidates."

Yu Buyi smiled happily and said: "Brother Wang, have you become an official? I can tell at a glance that you are not an ordinary person, and you will definitely do something big. I am willing to follow you!"

But Yu BuTong pulled him and said: "Listen to what Brother Wang has to say first. I see that you are impatient. I am not asking you to become an official."

Wang Changfeng knew that Yu BuTong was thoughtful, so he explained in a leisurely manner: "BuTong is right, I haven't finished my words yet. I will lead the entire expedition this time, and it will be a confidential mission for the imperial court. The time has come for me."

I will explain it clearly to everyone. There will be many dangers in the process, and I may even not be able to come back. But I will do my best to lead everyone back safely. As for the reward, as long as you agree to join, you can receive the salary from the court. I will also provide additional

I will give each of you three hundred taels of silver, and when you come back, I will give you each two hundred taels, for a total of five hundred taels each."

After hearing this, the Yu brothers looked at each other and were a little shocked.

Yu Buyi said: "Brother Wang, are you sure it is 500 taels per person? Then it will be 1,000 taels for us two brothers."

Wang Changfeng nodded and said: "Absolutely, as long as you agree, I can give you six hundred taels now."

Yu BuTong murmured to himself: "One thousand taels is enough to build several big houses and buy dozens of acres of land."

Wang Changfeng smiled and said: "It's enough to marry a good wife for two wives."

The two brothers lowered their heads and their faces suddenly turned red.

Yu BuTong suddenly raised his head and seemed to have made up his mind and said: "We brothers have worked hard for a year, with all the ups and downs, and we can only earn a few dozen taels of silver at most. It's better to follow Brother Wang, do big things together, and make a lot of money."

!”

Yu Buyi echoed: "Yes, I think so too. It will definitely be no problem to follow Brother Wang."

Wang Changfeng smiled and said: "In that case, let's make an agreement that a man will never regret it."
