On the morning of the next day, under the leadership of Li Rui, a group of four people, including Kunlun slave Obama, quickly arrived at the shipyard that had been transferred to the Li family. The carriage had not arrived yet, and it was far away.

I saw several large ships docked at the pier.

Fu Chuan, also known as "Da Fu Chuan" in the industry. It is a pointed-bottomed sea-going ship, famous for sailing in the South China Sea and distant seas. During the Ming Dynasty, it was also used as a warship. People in the Song Dynasty said: "Fujian is the best sea-going ship."

'In the Ming Dynasty, our navy used Fu Chuan as its main warship.

What appeared in Li Anran's sight could not be the Fu Chuan that became popular only in the Ming Dynasty, but the two were closely related before. To a large extent, these boats in front of him were "old" Fu Chuan.

"ancestor" level.

To put it bluntly, it is the "old" model before the Fuchuan was finalized. Although it is always older, some of the shipbuilding technologies used are indeed not comparable to those of the Ming Dynasty. However, Li Anran had to admit that these six merchant ships were lined up in a row.

, it’s really quite impressive.

Following Li Rui's introduction along the way, Li Anran also understood that although the shipyard he bought produced were old models, this kind of merchant ship was already considered top-notch at this time in terms of carrying capacity and navigation.

.

Maritime merchants from the Tang Dynasty and the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty were proud to own such large merchant ships. Even foreign merchants from places as far away as Arabia also liked these ships that could sail both near and far seas.

Large merchant ships used.

Under the leadership of Li Rui, who was apparently the boss, a group of four people quickly arrived at the pier. Since someone had sent someone to convey the news the night before, the four people arrived at the pier. They saw a dark, thin middle-aged man.

The man came up with two people.

"Master, this is the old helmsman Rui mentioned before." After seeing the three people approaching, Li Rui quickly introduced.

When Li Anran was sizing up the old helmsman, the other party was also sizing him up.

"Old helmsman, this is Li Langjun." Li Rui took the opportunity to say again.

Although he still doesn’t know that the person in front of him is his real boss, the old helmsman also knows that he can make his boss bring it here in person so carefully, and leave the boat at the expense of money, just to use it for this person.

, the origin is bound to be extraordinary.

In addition, Li Anran was dressed in fine clothes and had stayed in Xiaoyao Villa for so long. His aura as a superior person was clearly revealed in his words and deeds without even pretending. The old man quickly saluted respectfully and said: "I have seen you, Mr.

Jun."

"No courtesy." Li Anran raised his hand and said with a smile.

In fact, Li Anran did this not to pretend to be a boy, nor to look down on the other party. It was actually because the ancients attached great importance to social status. Behaviors such as courtesy to the virtuous and corporal were also aimed at those who were talented and learned.

If it is like some management concepts in modern time and space, and you get along with subordinates like Lao Duozi, sorry, it may work in modern time and space. But in ancient times, it would be easy to scare people. This kind of thing has also happened to Li Anran.

Came here more than once.

Even without looking at it, just such a gesture has already made the two relatively younger guys following behind the old helmsman feel a little uncomfortable. Then the idea that everyone is equal would definitely be beaten in ancient times.

Soar.

After some simple greetings, Li Anran asked directly: "Old helmsman, when can this fleet be used?"

"Back to Li Langjun, it will take ten days to use them all." The old helmsman, who was not talkative by nature, replied.

"Ten days? Can't it go faster?" Li Anran, who was not satisfied with the speed, asked.

"Mr. Lang, ten days is already the fastest. No matter how fast it is, it may be very dangerous for this boat to sail." The old helmsman said bluntly.

"Forget it, ten days will be ten days." Li Anran, who knew that the other party was a professional and that he, a layman, had better not get involved blindly, could only nod and said: "In the next few days, I will arrange for the carriages and horses to deliver all the goods to be transported.

It’s time to arrange for someone to install it.”

"Yes, Master." Li Rui, knowing that these words were meant for him, responded quickly.

"Come on, since you've already arrived, there's no reason not to get on the boat and get a feel for it." Having said this, Li Anran pondered for a moment and then said: "Old helmsman, find a usable boat and sail around in the nearby waters.

Last lap."

Thinking that this was a test of his ability, the old helmsman got out of the way without saying a word, pointed at the big ship parked at the outermost entrance of the pier, and said respectfully: "Please sir, sir, please."

It was very easy for a group of people to get on the boat. Even though Su Xiaomei was a woman, with her skills, not to mention that there was a wide and strong springboard for walking between the boat and the dock. Even if there wasn't, the distance would not be covered at all.

What blocking effect does it have?

But after getting on the boat, Li Anran discovered that it was really not easy to sail such an old-fashioned ship. At least it was more troublesome than the luxury catamaran power sailboat he got from modern time and space.

Many, many.

Fortunately, in such a fleet, although there are only six ships, it is impossible for the old helmsman to be the only one. No, under the orderly instructions of the other party and the cooperation of the boatmen, this merchant ship was not

It didn't take long before we left the dock.

Stable, this was Li Anran's first feeling after the ship left the dock. Of course, it is still in offshore waters, and the dock is a natural harbor. If it is not stable in this environment, then the ship is really stable.

There is no way to use it.

After about half an hour, Li Anran, who had finished the experience, asked the old helmsman who personally took part in the battle to drive the boat back to the dock. Seeing that he still had to wait ten days, Li Anran, who was quite satisfied with the ancient ship, did not

If you stay here for a long time, you will avoid people quickly.

After the group of four returned to the courtyard of Quanzhou Mansion, they had just sat down when they saw the steward coming over with a small pile of notes.

"Master, this is a post from colleagues in the city. They all want to meet the young master." After learning what happened from the steward's mouth, Li Rui sent the other party away and handed the post in his hand.

He gave it to Su Xiaomei and then said.

"Haha...the reaction of these people is quite fast." Li Anran was not surprised at all that this group of businessmen could grasp his whereabouts so quickly. After all, the matter between him and Li Rui was from beginning to end.

None of them were deliberately concealed.

In addition, these guys are all trying to make a living in Quanzhou, and some of them are even from big local families that have been here for some years. In this case, if those maritime merchants still don’t know who the big boss is,

If so, that would be really surprising.

"Huh? The Zheng family in Xingyang?" He casually picked up this pile of beautifully designed stickers and flipped through them. Li Anran accidentally discovered an acquaintance.

To be precise, they were not considered acquaintances. Li Anran didn't know each other at all anyway. But the sign of the Zheng family in Xingyang immediately reminded Li Anran of the person who, although he was just a commoner, had a very good temperament and demeanor.

The young master of the Zheng family, Zheng Chenggong.

Thinking of this, Li Anran discovered that when he was looking for Tianhuang stone mine, he had used it with the Zheng family. But he never expected that the other party was not only engaged in inland business, but also involved in shipping.

However, when I thought about Li Anran, I felt relieved.

The Zheng family in Xingyang is not just a small family with cats and dogs. With such a large family business, they have to spend a lot of money every year just on various expenses. If there is not enough property to support it, the Zheng family will have a lot of money.

One cannot drink from the northwest wind.

"Li Rui, what's the reputation of the Zheng family in the industry?" Li Anran, who put all the other stickers back on the table and only held the gilded sticker from the Zheng family, suddenly asked.

"Master, Rui has little contact with the Zheng family, but his reputation is pretty good. At least this time, the Zheng family did not mix with those people." Li Rui, who did not know that his young master was related to the Zheng family, was also a little surprised, but still

Answered matter-of-factly.

"Oh? Then why did he send the post here?" Li Anran asked, flicking the post in his hand.

"This...maybe he found the fleet at the dock and wanted to cooperate." Li Rui hesitated for a moment and replied.

"Well, it's possible." Li Anran knew that the other party's speculation was not impossible. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said: "In this way, everything else is rejected. As for the Zheng family, you can come with me.
Chapter completed!
