Chapter 197: Encountering pirates
Li Shuang ordered the boatman to lift a wooden board and put it on two ships.
Chen Zheng jumped carefully and walked towards the boat opposite. Li Shuang and Xiao Zan were on the other side, both stretched out their hands and took Chen Zheng over.
After jumping off the wooden board, Chen Zheng waved to Xusheng and shouted, "Xusheng, you go back first, I will play with Brother Li and Brother Xiao."
"Then I'll go back first, Brother Chen." Xu Sheng responded, then turned the rudder and adjusted the sails. The ship returned from the original road and headed towards Jiuquwan Harbor.
The three of them walked towards the center of the ship, and Li Shuang asked, "Why did Brother Chen come to the sea? He is still driving a speedboat to chase us?"
Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "I said just now that I was not chasing you, but I happened to pass by. Moreover, do I still need to notify others when I came? It seems that Brother Li didn't tell me when he came to the sea, right?"
Li Shuang scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "I saw that you were very busy arranging work at that time, so I didn't have the nerve to bother you."
Xiao Zan also quickly said, "Yes, it's mainly because I was urging me to hurry up. Brother Li forgot to tell Brother Chen that it was my fault."
What else can Chen Zheng say? The prince said that it was his fault. Is it impossible for him to really beat and scold the prince?
"Brother Xiao is so serious, I don't have this intention." Chen Zheng said helplessly.
Xiao Zan laughed and said, "By the way, Brother Chen, how are the work arrangements for the dock?"
Chen Zheng nodded and said, "What should be arranged is already in place. The craftsmen left behind also expressed their willingness to learn how to build ships like boatmen in the docks. I believe that the first ship will be built soon."
Xiao Zan was overjoyed and said, "Brother Chen has made great efforts. If he can succeed this time, Brother Chen will be the first to be successful!"
Chen Zheng curled his lips and said, "It's not just a big effort, but also a lot of blood?"
"Well, how do you say this?" Xiao Zan asked.
So, Chen Zheng told Xiao Zan about the reward system for mentoring and apprenticeship.
After hearing this, Xiao Zan couldn't help but be amazed. A mentor would be rewarded with five taels of silver. There were dozens of craftsmen, which required dozens of tutors. Oh! Hundreds of silver were gone.
"Brother Chen is a righteous man!" Xiao Zan couldn't help but exclaim.
Chen Zheng glanced at Li Shuang who was standing next to him and smiled at Xiao Zan: "Brother Xiao, Brother Li, we three are brothers, so it is best to share the same contribution."
Li Shuang felt embarrassed and said, "Brother Xiao is the person in charge in this matter, and he must be a great contribution; Brother Chen is the executor, and he is also a great contribution. But I don't seem to have done anything, so I can't get any contribution."
"Hey? We are brothers, and you will naturally be divided by credit. It depends on whether you are willing to ask for it." Chen Zheng patted Li Shuang's shoulder and said.
Li Shuang nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course I want it. How could I refuse such a good thing?"
"As long as Brother Li is willing, it will be the best." Chen Zheng smiled slightly.
This smile made Li Shuang feel a little embarrassed, but he thought about it and said, no matter what, Brother Chen would not harm him, so he said, "Tell me quickly, how can I share this credit?"
"Didn't I just talk about the reward system for mentors and apprentices? Brother Li just needs to pay the silver for this reward, and he will naturally get a share of the credit." Chen Zhengdao.
After hearing this, Li Shuang felt like a bolt from the blue. The reward was not a few taels or dozens of taels of silver, but that was a few hundred taels.
Even if he is rich, a few hundred taels of silver will still hurt Li Shuang.
Seeing that Li Shuang was hesitant, Chen Zheng sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "If Brother Li really thinks that the money is a bit too much, I will pay it for you, but this credit is still remembered on Brother Li."
"There is too much money. I'm so embarrassed to ask you to pay for me." Li Shuang said as if she was polite.
Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "I don't have to worry about itch if there are too many lice. I use the shipbuilder in the dock; I use the material resources of the shipbuilding, the wood from Hongsongzhai on Paoma Mountain; I can simply make the shipbuilding financial resources together! As the saying goes, don't bother the two masters."
"Brother Chen is so interesting." Xiao Zan said with some emotion.
Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Xiao praised it. Who made us feel close to you? Since we are brothers, how can we care about these external things?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shuang's face changed and he quickly said, "Brother Chen is right. We are good brothers. How can these external things be important? I have decided that I will give the reward for this mentor and apprentice!"
"Brother Li, don't force me, you can afford it." Chen Zheng hurriedly persuaded.
But Li Shuang seemed to be determined and said righteously: "Brother Chen, don't say it anymore. Since you have all the human and material resources, let me give this financial resources."
Chen Zheng thought for a while and said, "But this financial resources are not only the bonus of this mentor and apprentice, but there are many places behind it, which cost money."
Li Shuang twitched her lips and thought to herself, why didn’t you say it earlier? I’m just reminding me now, am I embarrassed to refuse?
Li Shuang felt that it was difficult for her to get on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of hope, could she bear to say no?
Of course not!
"Brother Chen, don't worry, even if you sell the money, you will get all the money and will not delay Brother Xiao's project." Li Shuang said gritting her teeth.
Xiao Zan was very happy when he heard this and said, "It is really a blessing for me to meet you two brothers!"
"What Brother Xiao said? It seems that it is not a blessing for us to meet Brother Xiao." Chen Zheng said as if he was unhappy.
The three of them laughed, and Li Shuang didn't seem to feel that she was so painful when she paid for money.
Chen Zheng looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost noon today. After a while, the sun will be very fierce. We might as well return and have a good meal at Juquande Restaurant."
Xiao Zan nodded and said, "Everything goes well today, so you should have a good meal to celebrate."
But just as they were about to return, the guard Yu Qizheng suddenly rushed over again, stood beside Xiao Zan, and whispered: "If there is a situation, be prepared for the battle!"
Xiao Zan was stunned and said, "Guard Yu, you won't read it wrong, right?"
Yu Qizheng shook his head and pointed to the distance and said, "Look at over there!"
Everyone looked in the direction of Yu Qi's finger, and indeed several ships appeared in their field of vision.
"I can't see clearly, don't make misunderstandings like before." Li Shuang whispered.
