Be the Mayor From Today

Sailors will be one of Liu Feng's key arms in the future. Xiyang City relies on the Youshui River, and most of the trade is carried out by boats. The Youshui River will become the golden road on the water.

So, what if there are nobles who are jealous of passing merchant ships and want to make a windfall? As a person from Earth, Liu Feng knows that wealth on the water can make people jealous. After all, there were many pirates in ancient times on Earth.

At this point, the importance of sailors has come out, used to deter those nobles with ulterior motives, to destroy those water pirates, and even to guard against the group of pirates at sea.

Liu Feng values ​​the Youshui River as a transportation line. In the future, 80% of the trade in Xiyang City will come from the Youshui River, so patrolling is necessary.

"Ta Tata..."

After reading the inside of the hull, Liu Feng came to the board and instructed with a serious face, "Weishi, prepare to launch the big boat."

"Yes." Weishi shouted respectfully, with nervousness and excitement on his face, the big ship was finally about to go into the water.

The 50-meter ship has been built and has not yet been launched into the water for sea trials, so everything is unknown. If it falls apart after launching, it means failure.

Liu Feng and others got off the boat and stood on the high platform watching Weishi arrange the preparations for launching the boat. After the boat is built, launching is the most important step. If the boat can't even get into the water, it will be a joke.

"An Li, how many gold coins did this ship use?" Liu Feng asked calmly.

"I'll check." En Li took out a notepad and looked it up. The cost of building the ship would be reported to her every seven days.

She quickly found out, and said, "Master, apart from the latest report, it is estimated that fifty-two gold coins have been used for this big ship."

Of course, this is only the price of building the ship alone, but the cost of building the dock is not included.

Chapter 0530 The capital chain is going to be broken.

"It's okay." Liu Feng nodded lightly, fifty-two gold coins for a large boat, or a fifty-meter boat, the price is still acceptable.

The main reason is that the materials do not need to be transported far away, and they are transported free of charge. Newly recruited infantrymen also carry wood for training like cavalry. If you are in a seaside city, you are afraid that a 50-meter boat will cost at least 100 yuan. Fifty gold coins to start.

"Master, this first ship made a few mistakes in the middle, otherwise it wouldn't cost fifty gold coins." En Li flipped through the notepad and said, "They once made a mistake in the structure, so they dismantled it and rebuilt it. "

"It's the first time to build a large ship, which can be forgiven." Liu Feng chuckled lightly. He had reported this matter to him before, otherwise the large ship would have been completed half a month earlier.

"Master, the big boat is about to go into the water." Mina said in a deep voice, holding an umbrella in her hand, standing in front of Liu Feng's left.

Liu Feng raised his eyes slightly, and saw Weishi holding an axe and cutting down the hemp rope tied to the slide rail. It took three strokes to cut the thick hemp rope. However, the big boat did not go into the water, which was too tied up. For a long time, the slide rails have been stuck.

"Quick, come and push the boat." Weishi shouted loudly, and was the first to push against the hull.

"Ta Tata..."

Dozens of boatmen ran over and pushed them collectively towards the big boat. With the force of everyone, the hull swayed.

"Rewind, rewind." Weishi shouted quickly, his body backed up again and again, and everyone immediately ran away, and then they saw the slide rails move.

The weight of the boat, coupled with the **** type of the wooden platform, the slide rail began to slide down at a very fast speed, and it slid into the water instantly. water waves.

"Crash..."

The waves splashed into the dock, pouring Weishi and the others into a mess. Liu Feng only had a little water droplets here, which was blocked by Mina's umbrella.

"Successful, successful entry into the water." Weishi was stunned, wiped the water from his face, and shouted excitedly, "Entered the water, the big ship entered the water."

He waited for this moment for too long. The 50-meter boat entered the water again, and his dream took a big step forward.

"Ta Tata..."

Liu Feng stepped onto the wooden platform and looked at the big boat swaying in the Youshui River, with anticipation flashing in his eyes, the first boat of the Golden Waterway was launched.

"Lord City Lord, I'm asking for a trial voyage." Weishi shouted respectfully. Now he really wants to go up and try to sail, and to check whether there is water leakage.

"Together." Liu Feng smiled, and he wanted to go up and feel it.

"Ah?" Weishi was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he discouraged, "Sir City Lord, no, this big ship hasn't sailed to test the water, it will..."

"Aren't you confident in your skills?" Liu Feng glanced at him and said lightly, "I have confidence in my drawings."

"This..." Weishi was at a loss for words, not confident? To be honest, he was really not confident, after all, all the 50-meter boats he had participated in before had sunk.

"Get ready and get on the boat immediately." Liu Feng waved his hand and smiled lightly, "Eat lunch on the boat."

"Yes." Weishi said respectfully, and he turned around to make preparations for boarding the ship. First, he had to pull the big ship back to the shore, and then set up a ladder to board the ship.

These Weishis were very skillfully arranged, and they were all done in a short while. Then he invited Liu Feng and others to board the boat, and he ran around on the boat with a dozen boatmen to check.

Liu Feng and Beast Ear Niang were standing at the bow of the boat, quietly watching Weishi and the others who were running. The structure of the hull, etc., had to be checked to see if there was any leakage or breakage.

After running for half an hour, Weishi came to Liu Feng with a face full of joy, and said respectfully, "Sir City Lord, the hull is fine, is it a trial voyage?"

"Trial." Liu Feng said solemnly.

"Yes." Weishi said in a low voice, turning around and shouting to the boatman behind him, "Sail."

"Wow!!!"

The boatmen who had been prepared for a long time let go of the sails, and the wind immediately blew the sails, and the boat immediately began to accelerate and move at a very fast speed, because the boat was not loaded with anything, and the boat was very light.

The big ship passed by the port very quickly, and immediately attracted the attention of the civilians in the port. They all stared at the big ship in stunned eyes. Many civilians saw it for the first time.

"Look, that ship is too big, isn't it? Much bigger than those big ships."

"Lord City Lord? Everyone, look, Lord City Lord is up there."

"Could it be that this boat was bought by the Lord of the City? This is too cool."

"..."

Liu Feng smiled and listened to the exclamation from the shore. This is the first step. When the dozens of large ships he built in the future docked, it would be truly amazing, right? Not to mention the 100-meter-long super ships.

"An Li, take three hundred gold coins from the vault and put them into the dock. I want to build two more docks and build three large ships at the same time." Liu Feng said calmly, his long black hair fluttering in the cold wind.

"Yes..." En Li hesitated before answering, she opened her mouth, glanced at the smiling Weishi, and closed her mouth helplessly.

Weishi is of course happy, and can build a 50-meter boat again, which can give him experience, so that he is qualified to build the 100-meter boat that the Lord of the City said.

"Tell me, what's the matter." Liu Feng could feel the strangeness of Hu Erniang.

"Master, Darlene hasn't come yet." An Li could only point to it, there were other people at the scene, so she couldn't say something.

"Well, maybe it will come in a few days." Liu Feng's black eyes narrowed slightly, he knew what Hu Erniang meant.

The gold coins he earned from Teng Ying City are almost exhausted, after all, the prairie has invested a lot. The current situation is that the gold coins in the vault are going to bottom again. If Darlene doesn't come this month, the workers' salaries will not be able to be paid.

"Master, did something happen to Darlene?" En Li said in a deep voice, she was a bit euphemistic, and the hidden meaning was that Darlene ran away with the money, and the amount of gold coins sold for the goods was quite a lot.

It is not without reason that she has this guess. You must know that the young master has left a carrier pigeon for Darlene. After so long, there is no news.
