905. Chapter 905 Extra Story Riding the Wind and Waves 1
On the calm sea, a huge ship with a magnificent appearance was parked on the shore.
The ship has a dark hull, golden masts, black sails fluttering in the wind, and even the deck is made of fine logs.
Mu Xiaobao clasped his hands behind his back, followed by two rows of sailors waiting for him to inspect.
The captain himself stood beside him and described in detail how remarkable this ship was, the best of the best even in the West.
"These are all newly built. There are only two ships in the entire Western Region. Except for this one, it was the one that Master Su Qing came to Cangyao for the last time. Only such expensive ships can withstand the waves and sail successfully and safely.
Arrived in the Western Region!" The captain was full of emotion and pride for the ship.
Mu Xiaobao nodded seriously, "Yes, yes, Xiaobao also believes in Uncle Su Qing's warm invitation!"
"Usually, there is only one road of death from the Western Regions to Cangyao. Ordinary people rarely reach it successfully. Even we people from the Western Regions have to pay a very high price, and there are all kinds of hardships and discomforts on the way! Wait for more
Once the ships are built and this sea route is opened, there will no longer be a need for a road to death.”
Xia Houyan shook his folding fan and was amazed and shocked by this huge ship that he had never seen before.
It's a pity that no matter how hard I think, I can't think of anyone who can create Cang Yao.
The only possibility is those treasure masters, but the current shortage of treasure masters in Cang Yao is simply appalling. The only ones left are determined not to build ships, because they only like small and exquisite things, not this.
A behemoth.
Not to mention that shipbuilding has become a rough job, even one treasure master of such a large size is far from enough!
"Uncle Xiahou, it's a pity, isn't it?"
Xia Houyan was stunned and looked at Mu Xiaobao's young face, which was also thinking.
Unexpectedly, the person who understood his thoughts best was this child.
"What a pity? It's not a pity!" The captain misunderstood, "My dear, believe me, I have also walked the road of death, and the level of comfort cannot be compared with that of riding on a boat."
"Uncle Captain, are many of your people building ships?" Mu Xiaobao's eyes twitched.
"Well, after Cangyao finally opened the door to the Western Regions and established this new trade route, shipbuilding is the most important thing now! After all, Cangyao also has some things that are not found in the Western Regions. For those nobles who like novel things
It can also be sold at a very high price!"
"Oh, thank you, uncle captain. You can go and rest first. Xiaobao, the apprentice will be here soon!"
We got on the boat and stood on the deck enjoying the calm sea breeze.
"Uncle Xiahou, do you know what is the most important thing in this world?"
Xia Houyan hesitated, "Money?"
"No!" Mu Xiaobao said seriously, "Mother said, it's the talent! How can we build a ship without talent!"
"Xiaobao also wants to build a boat?"
Mu Xiaobao smiled slyly and jumped up and down on the deck. He looked like a playful child, but he said, "Isn't Xiaobao already building one? But it's not as good as this one. It's far behind. We Cang Yao
What should we do if we don’t have any shipbuilders? Let’s go to the Western Regions and bring some back!”
It's not that Xia Houyan has never thought about this, but poaching people from the Western Regions is not a trivial matter. I'm afraid only Mu Xiaobao can do it.

I haven't started writing the extra chapter until now because I haven't figured out which paragraph to write. This is considered a sequel and will be directly connected to the end of the main text. I estimate that the full text will be completed by the end of the month or next month, and I will concentrate on writing new stories.
