Others are facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming.
But Xiao Han was facing the river, full of depression!
Oh my god, I'm just a nobody, why do you always push such an important task to me?
However, being depressed leads to regret, and you have to do what you should do! The worst thing is that you will be depressed after doing it!
After gathering his mood and looking at Lao Jiang solemnly, Xiao Han slowly said to him:
"Lao Jiang! To tell you the truth, I am very optimistic about the water transport industry! So no matter what, I can't just watch its decline! The court has no money and no energy to take care of this, so I will do it myself!"
Click here! I think you don’t want to see those prosperous shipyards decline!”
Lao Jiang saw Xiao Han and nodded subconsciously!
People like them who have devoted half their lives to an industry, even if they don't love it, can't bear to see this industry decline like this.
Seeing Lao Jiang nodding, Xiao Han took a breath, waved to Yang Kai first, and then said after he approached: "Then I will tell you two directly here! After seeing this ship, I suddenly changed my attention!
I plan to build a shipyard near here first. It doesn’t need to be too big, and it doesn’t need a lot of manpower! I just want to slowly continue this skill! Wait until the moment it is revived!”
Having said this, Xiao Han suddenly paused to let the two people opposite him digest.
At this moment, there were beads of sweat on Yang Kailuo's forehead! His mood at this time was simply mixed!
Haha, this Marquis’s thoughts are really crazy... and they are so unconstrained!
How could he think of building a shipyard here in Hanzhong? How many people can run boats in all of Hanzhong? Build a boat and put it in the water to play with? And the key is, who will pay for this?! The money for this boat
You didn’t even reimburse me!
Different from Yang Kai who fell into the eyes of Qian, Lao Jiang remained silent for a while, then raised his head and asked: "The purpose of building the dock is to learn the unique skills of the major craftsmen? Or should you say to preserve and record them?"
"Yes!" Xiao Han's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Lao Jiang's words, and then he punched his palm heavily, almost making Yang Kailuo, who was thinking about money, jump up in fright!
"That's what I think! This shipyard is just a place for practice to ensure that the craftsmen are not unfamiliar with their craftsmanship. It is just a matter of recruiting a few apprentices! And your skills are what I want!"
After saying that, Xiao Han was spinning around in excitement.
He seemed to have seen a shipyard laboratory rising from the ground! Ever since the steel workshop in Sanyuan County set up a laboratory, whenever he saw something good, he wanted to imitate it and build a laboratory too!
However, Xiao Han was not happy for a while, and soon Lao Jiang poured cold water on him: "But these techniques are the only skills that others can master! Some of them are secret techniques passed down from ancestors, and they are not disclosed to others easily! Who?
Would you be so kind as to take it out?"
The scene suddenly became quiet, no one of the three people spoke, and Xiao Han also stopped.
Although this was not pleasant to hear, he also knew that what Lao Jiang said was the truth!
Because not everyone has the same awareness as Old Man Hua and Sun Simiao, who want to inherit their unique knowledge for the saints!
In this world, most of them are mediocre ordinary people. They don't have such lofty ambitions and vision. The first thing they think about is their own interests! Sacrificing for your ideals? Sorry, I won't do it!
Here, let alone the shipbuilding craftsmen who have never met each other, Lao Jiang is not willing to let Lao Jiang show off his unique skills and spread them out! Teaching apprentices and starving the masters to death is also the biggest problem in the inheritance of the Central Plains
.
Xiao Han pursed his lips tightly, his brain was spinning rapidly, and soon, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind!
"Lao Jiang, there is actually a saying that I wonder if you have heard of it?" Xiao Han suddenly asked Lao Jiang.
Lao Jiang couldn't keep up with Xiao Han's thinking for a while, so he could only follow his words and ask: "You haven't asked the Marquis for advice?"
Xiao Han stood up straight, put his hands behind his back and said leisurely: "Actually, there is no such thing as persistence in the world. The so-called persistence is just not enough temptation!"
Lao Jiang frowned again: "Master Hou, what do you mean?"
Xiao Han smiled and said to him: "I think those shipbuilding craftsmen can't all be as rich as you, Lao Jiang, right?"
"Master Hou, what do you mean?" Hearing Xiao Han suddenly say this, Lao Jiang's face trembled unconsciously, and his eyes when he looked at Xiao Han also changed a bit.
He knew exactly where his money came from! Yang Kailue and Xiao Han could also roughly guess it.
But Yang Kailue may not know that apart from the ones he took away as a life-saving favor, Lao Jiang still has several fortunes hidden in various places!
This was originally Lao Jiang's biggest secret, but Xiao Han suddenly asked this question, which gave Lao Jiang an illusion that the young prince seemed to know his secret.
Xiao Han continued to turn his head to look at the boat and said in a calm voice: "Nothing, just a simple question."
"Haha... We craftsmen can find money wherever they go. We just rely on our craftsmanship to support our families..." Lao Jiang lowered his head and spoke, as if he didn't dare to let Xiao Han see his true expression.
Xiao Han squinted his eyes, turned to look at Lao Jiang, and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "Haha, don't worry! As for me, although I am only a small county prince, I still have a small fortune, and I will not covet your little things.
, On the contrary, what I give you is definitely more than what you want!"
Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in doubt: "Master Hou, what's the explanation?"
"Patent!" Xiao Han uttered two words lightly from his mouth, and then looked at the two confused people and explained: "You may not understand, but as long as you know! This is a way to exchange technology for money.
And you can exchange it for a lot of money! As long as your skills are good enough, you can exchange it for money that you won’t be able to earn in several lifetimes!”
"How many lifetimes can't you make money?" Yang Kai, who cares most about money, opened his eyes slightly and said in disbelief: "Is it possible?"
Xiao Han laughed and said to the two of them: "How is it impossible? Do you know that I invented something called cement?"
"Cement? I don't know." They both shook their heads, looking confused.
Xiao Han is not surprised by this. Cement has only been around for more than half a year, and it is mostly used by wealthy families in the border areas or Chang'an. Coupled with the current inconvenient circulation of news, it is really unusual that Hanzhong has never heard of it.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. As long as you know that I invented it, it is used to build houses and cities instead of yellow mud and white plaster! I gave away all this technology and only asked for a little! No matter who makes the cement and sells it
, no matter how expensive the sale is, I will take a commission from it! Do you know how much money I have made in a few months?"
Yang Kai and Lao Jiang shook their heads together and looked at Xiao Han curiously.
Xiao Han chuckled and stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand strings!"
