Chapter four hundred and eighty first civil good official
Children are playing on the beach, women are guarding their husbands who have just returned from sea on the shore, men are carrying heavy fishing nets on their backs, and their hands are full of spoils.
Everyone's face was filled with a happy smile. After all, Qiongzhou is remote. For Chang'an City, the economic and political center, it is almost the same as a barren land, but the villagers living here feel satisfied with life.
After seeing this, Zhang Nan was a little envious. Three meals a day and simple meals are also a kind of joy of life.
On the way to the Taicang Wharf Dock, Wang Lun next to Zhang Nan was recognized by the villagers who had just returned from fishing.
"Mr. Wang, where are you going?" asked a man wearing a single jacket and dark-skinned man with a smile.
When Wang Lun heard someone calling him, he turned his head and looked, and then smiled and said, "The Emperor has the will to build a big ship."
Zhang Nan was quite surprised to see that Wang Lun was so friendly to the people. After all, this was an era when the class distinction between the Tang Dynasty was very obvious. Wang Lun was so friendly to the people, and the people could talk to the prefect of Qiongzhou so casually, without fear on his face. How could Zhang Nan not be surprised?
"Mr. Wang, it seems that you have a high reputation among the people." Before Zhang Nan could speak, Cheng Huaimo said.
"Haha, I am so funny. Although I am wearing an official robe, I am also from a poor family. The city of Qiongzhou is not big, and there are only a few small villages by the sea. I am also unrestrained. Sometimes after handling official duties, I also like to come to the beach to walk. Over time, the people will know me." Wang Lun said with a smile.
Zhang Nan nodded and said nothing.
"Mr. Wang, are you going to the dock? It's going to be dark this day. If you finish the dock later and don't dislike it, then come to our village for a meal." Another man who returned from fishing said, holding his child, and the child also blinked his big eyes and looked at Wang Lun.
After hearing this, Wang Lun smiled and said, "Okay, okay, that, Lord Zhang, if you don't dislike it, I'll try the food from our small seaside village later?"
After hearing this, Zhang Nan smiled and nodded. Although there were not many types of food and vegetables in the Tang Dynasty, it was definitely pure natural and pollution-free. Zhang Nan also thought it was good to have a meal of pollution-free farm rice. After all, after eating instant noodles for five days, Zhang Nan had no oil or water in her stomach. When she first entered Qiongzhou City, Zhang Nan was afraid of eating her stomach badly and did not dare to let go.
Now, I will definitely let go and have a meal later.
Of course, Zhang Nan would not eat for nothing. Zhang Nan thought it very clearly. After the meal, he could show the villagers here a clear way to make a fortune. After all, this place is Hainan, and there are treasures everywhere.
After saying hello to these villagers, Wang Lun took Zhang Nan to the dock at Taicang Wharf. It was said that it was a dock, but in fact there were a few small workshops next to the dock. However, these workshops had to be fought a lot compared to those in Chang'an.
After arriving at the dock, a sharp-eyed man soon saw Wang Lun and hurried up to salute Wang Lun.
"Sir Wang, why do you have time to come to the dock today?" asked a young man.
"The emperor has an order to build a ship and a big ship. Where is Lao Liu? Call him over, he will definitely be responsible for this thing." Wang Lun obviously knew the young man in front of him, and said with a smile and patted the young man on the shoulder.
After being photographed by Wang Lun, the young man was a little unhappy and said, "Mr. Wang, what you said, you will find a master every time you come to the dock. My shipbuilding skills are no worse than those of the master."
After hearing this, Wang Lun laughed and said, "Okay, okay, you guys, but you have only learned 20% or 30% of your master's skills. What did the ships you built for Xiaoliu Village last time look like? You still have the nerve to show off."
After Wang Lun said this, the young man suddenly turned a blushing with shame.
Just when the young man was at a loss, a few coughs came from behind the young man.
"Huzi, why don't you go to work here?"
When the young man heard this, he quickly turned around and saw that his master was coming. He quickly took two steps to his master, supported his master and said, "Mr. Wang said that the emperor has an order. Isn't this asking me to find you, Master."
After hearing this, Old Liu quickly tidied up his clothes, then shook away his apprentice's support and walked to Wang Lun to salute Wang Lun.
"I have met Lord Wang."
When Wang Lun saw this, he quickly helped Lao Liu up and said, "I said Lao Liu, don't be so polite, let's talk about the serious matters. The emperor has said that he wants to build a big ship, and this job has been given to the dock of Taicang Wharf. I thought of you immediately. If you build the ship, maybe the emperor will be happy and your craftsman level will be sent directly from Chang'an City."
It has to be said that the craftsman hierarchy proposed by Zhang Nan is still implemented well, and it can be promoted and implemented in places like Qiongzhou. Zhang Nan thinks it is still very possible.
When Old Liu's eyes lit up a lot when he heard Wang Lun say this, he said, "Why don't you know how big the ship the emperor wants?"
When Wang Lun heard this, he quickly pushed Lord Zhang out and said, "Come on, Lord Zhang, you will introduce it. Ah, I forgot to introduce it. This is Lord Zhang from Chang'an City, responsible for this shipbuilding."
After hearing this, Old Liu bowed to Zhang Nan again, and said, "I dare to ask Lord Zhang, how big does the emperor want this ship?"
Zhang Nan took out a drawing from his arms and said, "It's not big or big, it's about thirty feet long. This is the drawing that has been drawn by the Ministry of Heaven and the Ministry of Works. Please do it according to this. This ship is a bit different from usual, but be sure to do it according to the drawing."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Nan discovered that the workers in the dock were looking at him like monsters.
"This, this, Lord Zhang, are you sure it is a thirty-foot-long ship?" After hearing this size, Old Liu stuttered a little when he spoke.
"Of course it's certain, why? Is there a problem?" Although Zhang Nan asked this, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the dock. After all, he drove for five days before he arrived in Qiongzhou. If he had a waste of time, Zhang Nan would feel very tired.
"No, although the thirty-foot boat is big, I still have confidence to build it, not to mention that there are all drawings. As long as the fir trees are in place, it will definitely be built." Old Liu nodded and said.
