Wu Yong's eyes were bright and he saw that the twelve people were unusual, with developed muscles on their bodies, and seemed to have practiced them. Even if they had never been a soldier, they were still military craftsmen. He said, "Since everyone has no place to go, then follow us. There are still work hard. I will definitely not make a lot of money, but supporting my family is not a problem."

"Without anybody who dares to raise money with his benefactor, he just wants to repay his kindness."

Chao Gai said this when he saw that he was talking about it, but he became pretentious.

"Okay, then you guys will go with me. You have been hungry for too long and can't eat more. Get back to eat some food in the evening."

"Don't worry, I know."

The group boarded the new ship, and added three ships when they arrived.

The black-sailed boat is still very large, five feet long, which is much larger than a fishing boat.

There is nothing to consider when you get on the boat and talk.

Chao Gai asked the man in the lead: "I'm afraid you are not an ordinary person because of your figure and shape. Why did you fall here?"

"I dare not hide it in front of my benefactor. The villain's surname is Meng, his name is Kang, and he is from Zhending Mansion. He is a shipbuilder in the army. He brought a group of brothers to make a large ship to escort Hua Shigang. The officials at the Nati were scolded if they were beaten. We couldn't bear it anymore, so we killed that guy and wandered around the world. We went to the territory of Jeju and found the Qian family's shipbuilding workshop to work. The owner of this family was a relative of Jin Tongzhang, who relied on the power of the government. He relied on the power of the government and did not pay a penny of wages for three months. The villain was so angry that he brought people to block the door and asked for it. He reported it to the official because there was no guarantor in the local area and almost died on the pillar."

Chao Gai was very happy. The world was very big, but sometimes it was very small. Meng Kang was a famous shipbuilder and could make a variety of ship types.

"It turns out to be Brother Meng Kang, you have heard of your name for a long time."

Meng Kang was also surprised: "Is it that my brother is also a man in the martial arts world?"

Wu Yong introduced: "This brother Chao Gai, who is a hero and righteous brother in Yuncheng County, has given him a nickname called Tota Heavenly King because of his great strength."

"It turns out it's Brother Chao Gai."

Meng Kang said and bowed for a while before he got up. Chao Gai was quite adaptable to the Song Dynasty, but he was still not used to the custom of kowtowing.

"Brother Meng Kang, please get up quickly, I'll introduce you to you."

Chao Gai introduced Wu Yong, Ruan Xiaoqi, Ruan Xiaowu, and Chao Dazhuang to Meng Kang.

Everyone has recovered almost the same. Ruan Xiaoqi took out the meat and cakes he bought in the afternoon, and everyone has eaten and chatted.

When Meng Kang saw that the sailing boat was newly bought, he asked: "Brother, is this going to drive the boat?"

"Yes, it mainly transports some light and valuable goods, medicinal materials, tea, silk, etc."

Meng Kang nodded: "The black-sailed boat is suitable, but the loading is too little. You can choose a centipede boat, with a large centipede boat fifteen feet long and forty sailors. The middle centipede boat is ten feet long and thirty sailors, the small centipede boat is six feet long and twelve sailors."

Wu Yong asked: "How much does that mid-centipede ship cost?"

"That depends on the material. Generally, a ship is made of red pine, fir and tung wood, etc., which cost about 400 guan, plus 500 guan of artificial intelligence."

Chao Gai had already built two centipede ships worth ten feet, and there wouldn't be so much work in the short term and wouldn't be able to use so many big ships.

"If you only transport gold, silver, fine and soft things, you can use a bicycle boat. The length is only five zhang and only one zhang wide. Four rotating water wheels are set up at the bottom of the boat, equipped with more than ten sailors to take turns trampling in the boat. You can travel 200 miles a day in the canal, which can be considered a top-notch fast ship. However, the loading is less, only a few thousand kilograms."

"This ship is pretty good, can you build it with brothers?"

"Yes, it's just an ordinary boat, it's easy to make and not much."

Chao Gai was overjoyed. He had found a treasure. If he wanted to build a ship, he would come to a top shipbuilder.

The moonlight was still good, and the group took advantage of the moonlight to rush to Shijie Village by three black-sailed boats.

The black-sailed boat has a shallow drip, only about half a meter, and is flat bottom, which is the best for sand protection and is anchored in the small port of Ruan Xiaoqi's family.

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu both have houses, but Ruan Xiaoqi did not marry and live on the small boat at his dock. Now there are two more black-sailed boats, and Ruan Xiaoqi tied the boat with a rope.

It was not peaceful these days, so Xiaoqi arranged for several fishermen from the village to sleep on the boat to guard the ship at night.

Looking back, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu organized sailors and started freight. Chao Gai's family's business was constantly in exchange for business, and the goods alone were enough to transport them.

Everyone was in Shijie Village for a night and left early in the morning.

Chao Gai and Wu Yong brought the new Meng Kang and twelve other craftsmen back to Chaojiazhuang.

When I first arrived in Chaojiazhuang, I saw that there was a large construction site here, with more than 400 cellars in the wilderness.

Not far away is the cowshed being built. The cowshed covers a large area. The shed can have a mile of land. It is divided into several areas, covering an area of ​​about fifty acres. The activity venue outside is even larger, almost more than three hundred acres.

Meng Kang was surprised: "Brother, how can I build such a big cattle farm?"

Chao Gai pointed to the refugee village next to him: "Brother, I saw that when the disaster occurs, the people are displaced. Although there are reasons for the government, the main reason for the poor farming skills of the people. For the same farmers, who have cattle or no cattle at home, which family do you think is good?"

"Cows are the treasures of farmers, so naturally those with cows live well."

"That's right. The cows are full of treasures. If you want to live a good life, you must keep them well. Brothers, take a few days off and come to the cattle farm to help build the cattle house. After the construction is completed, I will choose a port and I will build a ship for me."

"As long as my brother's arrangements, I don't need to rest. I'm waiting for a thick man, with thick skin and thick flesh. I'll eat a few full meals and scream."

Wu Yong went to settle the refugees. Although the weather was cold, the land still had to be renovated and prepare for spring plowing next year.

Chao Zhuang settled the cellar for the carpenters under Meng Kang.

Chao Gai looked up at the sun and it was almost noon.

"Brother Meng Kang, let's go, I'll treat you to dinner. I'll clean up in the afternoon before going to the cattle farm to work."

"Thank you brother."

The Chaojiazhuang Inn at the entrance of the village arranged two dishes, one was chopped pepper fish head and the other was stewed with big goose in an iron pot.

After some water and wine, the two of them started eating.

Meng Kang's food was very good, and everything was delicious. Chao Gai's food was not to mention, and he ate all of a big goose weighing six or seven pounds.

The waiter packed up the leftovers and brought in fragrant tea.

Chao Gai took the bag over and poured it on the table.

When I saw that there was not much money, I paid eleven or two taels of silver in total.

"Brother, you can take this money. Although the construction site manages the meals, they are all simple food. If you want to improve it, you can come here to eat. There are also small shops in the village and some daily necessities sell."

Meng Kang took the money, and the huge man burst into tears.
Chapter completed!
