Chapter 837: Finally Get the Ship
After receiving Ying Feiyu's promise, the veterans ran out of the garden happily, fearing that the boy would regret it if he was too late!
There is a good thing about being able to drive a ship away without paying any money. The old guys will definitely not miss it. After discussing it, they immediately rush to the shipyard outside the city!
Nowadays, all factories are in a state of oversupply and demand, and they also work in three shifts, which means they are producing around the clock!
Coincidentally, when they arrived at night, Huang Yuan was just getting on the carriage and preparing to leave, but they blocked him!
"Haha! Mr. Huang, you'd better stay!"
Hearing the sound, Huang Yuan opened the curtain of the carriage, and in the dim light, he saw that several old guys were returning, "Are these ministers here to pay the balance?"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, the veterans were stunned.
Didn’t His Highness the Crown Prince just promise to send someone to tell Huang Yuan that he could pay the balance a few days later?
But looking at this posture, Huang Yuan didn’t know anything about it!
"What? Isn't it?"
The confused expressions on the old guys' faces also made Huang Yuan a little confused.
These old guys had already booked the ship during the day, and when they came here at this time, apart from giving money, they really couldn't think of any other purpose!
"His Royal Highness didn't send anyone here?"
Huang Yuan jumped out of the carriage, and the old guys simply asked.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince? I didn't see anyone coming here? Is there something wrong?"
Huang Yuan was puzzled.
After the old guys left, he went around the factory and solved some trivial matters. Otherwise, he might have left long ago!
"Oh! How could His Highness be so kind and suddenly don't want interest? It turns out he was just trying to trick us and send us away!"
When they learned that Huang Yuan had not received the news, the veterans suddenly felt angry.
"What should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Go back to find His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Apart from this method, they have no other choice.
It was already getting late at this time, so I guess the boy was either in the other courtyard or in the palace, so he could always be found.
If it doesn't work, I'll go to His Majesty. Who knows His Majesty is also the owner of the bank!
No matter what you say today, you have to get the boat!
"Shang Shu, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Seeing the attitude of some old guys who were angry but afraid to show off, Huang Yuan was both amused and puzzled.
What ship?
What interest?
Why are you related to His Highness the Crown Prince again?
He didn't understand a word of it!
"You don't need to understand, just stay here at the shipyard for now, and we will come back after we find His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The old guys were so angry that they turned around and walked back.
At this moment, the guards from Bieyuan came over on fast horses.
The clatter of horse hooves made the old guys' eyes suddenly light up!
Could it be that they misunderstood?
"See several ministers, see Huang Shaojian!"
The guard quickly dismounted his horse and bowed his hands to several people.
"But what orders does His Highness the Crown Prince have?"
"Yes, yes, is it about the final payment of our ship?"
Before Huang Yuan could open his mouth, the old guys surrounded the guards and started questioning him eagerly.
"That's right...!"
Seeing several old ministers gathered in front of him, asking questions eagerly, the guard opened his mouth and laughed, "The legs and feet of these ministers are too fast. After His Highness the Crown Prince explained, I rushed over without stopping, but there were still not a few.
The minister came quickly!"
Then he cupped his hands towards Huang Yuan and told exactly what Ying Feiyu had told him.
"Haha, that's it!"
Huang Yuan also laughed when he learned the whole story.
No wonder these old guys said those strange things when they came here.
It turned out that I couldn't get the money to pay the balance, so I asked His Highness the Prince for help, but I never saw him for fear of delaying my departure to sea!
"call……"
Finally it was explained clearly, and the veterans breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, they would have to go around looking for that kid, not only wasting time, but their physical strength would also be exhausted!
It was already late at night, and if we put in more trouble, we might have to go to court early!
"Sir, since His Highness the Crown Prince has given the order, the shipyard has nothing to say! I wonder when the ministers plan to get this steamship?"
Huang Yuan asked with a smile.
"The sooner the better!"
Today has been full of twists and turns, and they finally have to get the steamer, and they don't want anything to go wrong again.
"Now then?"
Huang Yuan asked tentatively.
"It could not be better!"
The veterans nodded in agreement without saying a word.
Only by taking care of the steamship can they feel at ease!
"Well, I'll go find the craftsmen to deliver the ships of several ministers to the dock!"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The shipyard was not far from the Weishui River. Huang Yuan arranged for craftsmen to set up rolling logs and send all the steamships to the Weishui pier one after another.
According to the requirements of the old guys, their respective surnames were painted on the hull of the boat with vermilion paint as a mark.
After all this was done, the old guys returned to the mansion in peace and contentment. It was already past midnight.
In other words, you can only squint for an hour and refresh yourself a little before you have to prepare for the morning!
Fortunately, everything has been prepared and the ship can set off tomorrow!
Except for one person.
As soon as he stepped through the front door of the mansion, his wife was waiting for him with a cane in hand with a stern expression on her face!
Then, the heavy wooden door was closed.
Obviously, Mrs. Zhang also understands that family scandals should not be publicized!
How she educates her men at home must not be seen by others!
You still have to save the face you deserve!
"Madam? Why are you still up so late?"
Zhang Han really didn't expect that in the middle of the night, his wife was still awake, and she would even get into such a fight, which made him at a loss.
"Sleep? Can I sleep?"
Mrs. Zhang waved the cane in her hand, and the sound of breaking through the air kept coming, which made people feel pain all over.
"Madam, what happened? You...why are you doing this?"
It was common for his wife to tell him off, but Zhang Han still felt embarrassed after making such a big fuss.
If this spreads out, his image in the court will be completely lost!
In fact, everyone in the court knows the plight of this old guy, even Ying Zheng is no exception!
"You have the nerve to ask me why? Humph...!"
Mrs. Zhang put her hands on her hips, and with every step she took, the flesh on her waist and face trembled, "Let me ask you, you sent someone back home in a hurry to say that you wanted to buy a steamship and wanted one million gold, but then people came one after another.
When I asked for money, I said it was to buy rice! Lao Zhang! Do you think I’m stupid? I spent 40,000 gold on what kind of rice I can use? Besides, our family has farmland, so we still need to buy rice?”
"Tell me! What did you spend this money on?"
After saying that, the cane immediately pointed at Zhang Han, making him tremble all over.
"Ouch! Madam, I thought it was something big, but it turns out it was for this! I was scared to death, I thought...!"
After learning the reason for his wife's anger, Zhang Han breathed a long sigh of relief and caressed his little heart so much that he almost said the wrong thing.
Chapter completed!
