After receiving the news, Xiao Muting took Su Han to the Qingyuan River wharf at the foot of Baifeng City. She was really surprised to see the large ship that was not much smaller than the previously intercepted ship and contained quite a lot of cargo.
Woolen cloth.
With one hand, she ate the roasted corn that had just come from the shore after a busy night, and while looking around the boat, she raised her hand and crossed her fingers.
Yang Chun came over immediately: "Young Master!"
She raised her head towards the deck: "Did you see the iron bolts on the deck? Have you ever asked the people on this ship what they are for?"
Yang Chun nodded: "I asked, but no one knew."
"Isn't it possible?" Su Han held up the roasted corn in his hand and stared.
Yang Chun smiled again: "But there are people who know what this is for, and they are our own people."
"Who is it?" Su Han was surprised again.
Yang Chun raised his head slightly behind him. Su Han turned around and looked over, but there were many people standing under the boat. Who was he talking about?
"Sir, have you seen the thin man standing next to Boss Mao who is half a head taller than him? His name is Tu Jiang, that's him, and this time the action of intercepting the ship was also carried out by his subordinates.
The person who was asked to take command is not a simple person. Judging from his understanding of the ship and the way he deployed the battle, this person is definitely not a coolie working on the dock. He has a story." Yang Chun approached her and whispered
typical.
"What's the question?" Su Han also raised an eyebrow.
Yang Chun shook his head: "It can be seen that he doesn't want to talk about what happened in the past, but the military qualities he showed are not fake, and his understanding of ships and waters is beyond the reach of ordinary people. This person
He is a talent."
"You want to take him in?" Su Han looked at him with a smile.
Yang Chun smiled and said: "I am willing to be his subordinate."
"Tujiang...the name is related to the water, hehe...good." Su Han nodded and smiled.
She turned back and pointed at the iron bolt: "What did he say it was for?"
"It is used to fix the thrower." Yang Chun said, walked over and pointed to the two iron bolts on the ground: "It can fix the lower plate of the thrower so that it does not move on the river or sea surface, and it
He said that this kind of thrower is not practical. It would be better if it could be rotated. Moreover, it is too big and may become a target."
Su Han's grin widened, and he smiled excitedly: "Did he see the origin of this ship?"
"Yes, he said, this ship is not a new ship, but an old ship from five years ago, and it was eliminated. It was converted from a warship to a cargo ship. Therefore, the cabin inside the ship is larger than that of an ordinary cargo ship.
, the hull is also relatively stronger than that of merchant ships, which is why at that time, he did not recommend breaking the ship and diving in from below. Moreover, from the draft of the ship at that time, he had already judged that the amount of cargo carried on the ship was really good.
How much?" Yang Chun squatted there and smiled extremely.
"It seems that you have really found a treasure, so keep a close eye on it." Su Han raised an eyebrow at him and smiled.
She turned around and walked to the other side. Yang Chun immediately followed her and said, "Sir, Tu Jiang said that this ship should be a ship from Chuanhaihou, not from another shipyard."
"He knows all this?" Su Han was surprised again. It seemed that this man was indeed a treasure.
Yang Chun nodded, and then pointed to the outer hull of the ship. Su Han also followed him and stretched his head to look down. Yang Chun said: "There are traces of alteration on it, and he recognized it. Besides, he said that the Sichuan Sea
The ships built by the Marquis of Chuanhai are different from those in other places, especially the masts, the angles of the bow and the stern, because the ships built by the Marquis of Chuanhai are used to fight against sea robbers on the sea.
However, ships built in other places are transported by sea, so they are different."
"Warship! It seems that Sichuan Haihou is really powerful." Su Han nodded.
Yun Shi came over and said: "Sir, isn't General Yi the prince of the Marquis of Chuanhai?"
Su Han nodded: "I forgot about him before, and I really didn't know that our Marquis of Chuanhai had such a great ability. Later, I heard from His Highness that I knew about it. So, I didn't even look at him now."
We are not in a hurry to build a navy, and we are not in a hurry to build ships. I think it would be convenient for His Highness to buy ships directly from him based on his friendship with the Marquis of Chuanhai."
Yun Lan disagreed with her point of view and came over and said: "Master, of course we can buy a boat, but it doesn't take just one person to sail the boat. Look at this big boat, I guess it can't be operated without dozens of people, right?"
, Let’s talk about the navy, I still think that you can rest assured only when you train yourself, and others’ people don’t feel that they are of the same mind.”
"Yes! My Xiaolan is so right! Why are you so smart!" After Su Han finished praising her, he laughed loudly and proudly.
Although Xiao Muting had been standing under the boat and listening to those people reporting the situation, his eyes never left Su Han on the boat. Hearing her hearty laughter at this time, he knew that she had got something good again, or something.
This is what happens when good things happen to you.
At this time, he couldn't help but look at Tu Jiang in front of him again. The state of this person when reporting the situation was undoubtedly that of a soldier, and he must have the consciousness of a general who has been in the army for many years. This is not something that can be achieved in a day.
The fact that he was raised means that this person should have been a soldier originally.
But judging from his age, he is not very old and should not retire from the army. Why is he still a coolie working on the dock? This really puzzles him.
At this moment, Su Han held his hand on the ship's rail and said to him: "Your Highness, I'm done asking. I would like to ask Mr. Tu to come on board for a moment and help me clear up my doubts."
"Okay, come here now. Don't lean out of the boat again." Xiao Muting said loudly, waving to her.
"By the way, brother below, give me two more ears of roasted corn, it's so delicious..." Su Han held up the corn cob in his hand that she had chewed until only the cob was left, and shook it.
The people who were roasting corn below were really flattered. They had never heard that this powerful man liked to eat this.
Xiao Muting took the roasted corn and boarded the boat with Tu Jiang, Boss Mao, Prince Yi and Prince Baoqing.
Su Han came over and jumped in front of him, stretched out her hand to grab the corn, and took a bite on one ear. She handed the other ear directly to Yun Shi's hand, letting her share it with Yun Lan.
As a result of eating roasted corn, Su Han's little face and lips were stained with some black marks, which looked quite funny.
The Prince of Baoqing County saw that she was enjoying the food and asked Prince Yi beside him: "Is it so delicious?"
King Yi shook his head: "It smells quite delicious, but I've never eaten it before."
Prince Baoqing turned around and ordered Yang Fan to follow him: "Go down and get us two."
On this side, Su Han held corn in his mouth, bowed deeply to Tu Jiang, then took the corn out of his mouth and said: "Master Tu, I just want to ask you what you know about this ship, because I just
I asked about the iron bolts on the deck, but Yang Chun didn’t understand what he said, and I didn’t quite understand it. Could Mr. Tu please explain it to us again?”
Tu Jiang immediately returned the greeting and was a little panicked when he heard her speak so politely. After hearing what she asked, he hesitated again.
"Is there something inconvenient for Mr. Tu to say openly?" Su Han saw his concerns and couldn't help but ask.
Tu Jiang turned around and knelt in front of Xiao Muting, resting his head on the deck and said: "Please forgive me, Prince Chen."
Everyone was shocked by his move, especially Boss Mao, who didn't understand. He even kicked Tu Jiang on the butt: "Old Tu, what are you talking about..."
Su Han chuckled lightly, with a cold grin: "What I hate most is deserters!"
"I'm not a deserter, it's because... I was defeated and... after falling into the water... I didn't return to the team!" Tu Jiang immediately looked up at Su Han and explained stutteringly.
"Isn't this the same thing? It is one thing that you are injured and unable to return to the army, but it is another thing that you are not able to return to the army after recovering from illness. Excuse me, do you still have military status?" Su Han held up the roasted corn in his hand and looked at it with disdain.
he.
Tu Jiang pursed his lips and said, "Before defeat, yes!"
Xiao Muting snorted coldly: "Where do you belong?"
"The black dragon army of Marquis Chuanhai!" Tu Jiang lowered his head and replied.
"Position!" Xiao Muting said again.
"From the sixth rank of captain." Tu Jiang replied
Su Han curled his lips towards Yang Chun beside him and said, "Let me just say, a person who understands so well is definitely not a mortal."
Boss Mao could open his mouth so wide that he could swallow his own fist. How could he not know that the old Tu who had been working with him for two years turned out to be a soldier and a high-ranking official.
