A few months later in Suzhou,
In the shipyard, thousands of shipwrights are building an unprecedented ship according to the drawings.
And it is known as the fastest clipper ship among sailboats.
It is 93 meters long, 16.2 meters wide, 9.1 meters deep, has a displacement of 3,400 tons, a mainmast height of 61 meters, a total sail area of 3,760 square meters, and a speed of 12 to 14 knots per hour. It only takes 13 days to cross the Atlantic, marking the development of sailing ships. reach the peak.
It was not until the birth of the steam engine that the clipper ship slowly disappeared from sight.
But even so, it was still an important ship for transporting slaves and goods in the later period.
Standing on the high platform above, Lu Yan turned to look at the person in charge of the shipyard and said, "How long will it take to complete the project?"
"Replying to your lord, we will definitely deliver it within three months at most!"
He returned the gift with his hand, and the shipyard owner quickly answered,
After hearing what he said, Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "It's best, otherwise, don't blame me!"
"Please rest assured, sir, the grassroots will complete the work on time!"
Looking at Lu Yan, the shipyard owner was still smiling even though he was threatened, because Lu Yan had paid out a million taels. How many years of profit was this for the shipyard?
Now the whole factory is working overtime on this ship. If it cannot be completed on time, let alone him, even the shipwrights below will be implicated.
But the construction of the ship has come to an end. Three months is still a delay, and it will be launched after more than one month!
For this reason, the shipyard owner did not hesitate to take out the "keel" that had been sealed for a long time, just to speed up the progress.
If it were to be built from start to finish, it would take a full three years just to wait for one keel to be formed.
How could Lu Yan wait so long? He had no choice but to use the simplest method, which was to throw money at him.
On the first night he came to Suzhou, the whole city was robbed.
Just like Yanggu County in the past, the gentry and wealthy families all cried on the second day.
He kept shouting words like "beast" in his mouth,
A century-old family business, once stolen,
An ordinary person would be vomiting blood in a hurry, let alone these "big men".
But in this regard, the local Imperial City Department was also full of melancholy. After all, they didn't even have any clues, how could they find the prisoner.
Away from Ni Yan and Pan Jinlian, Lu Yan could finally walk into the brothel openly and openly.
A bottle of sake, half a table of snacks,
Lu Yan was just killing time like this,
"Brother, there is a letter from Huainan Mansion!"
Just when Lu Yan was sipping his wine, Niu Long walked in from the door.
Picking up the letter, Lu Yan glanced at it with a smile in his eyes and said, "Let Ni Yan take a hundred gold to make a tiger head lock, a longevity lock, and send it to the Ma family!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After saying that, Lu Yan laughed loudly.
But seeing this look, Niu Long couldn't help but scratch his head and said: "Brother, tell me what happened to make you so happy!"
"That boy Ma Chengen has a baby!"
Sipping his wine, Lu Yan turned around and said, "You understand, right?"
"Ah, this doesn't mean that I, Lao Niu, am going to be a godfather!"
Looking at Lu Yan excitedly, Niu Long smiled naively.
Looking at Niu Long dumbfounded, Lu Yan said in surprise: "You want to be your child's godfather, does Ma Chengen agree?"
"So what if he doesn't agree? Don't I deserve it?"
Niu Long raised his head proudly and laughed,
Looking at this idiot, Lu Yan smiled and said, "Forget it, let's talk about what's going on between you by yourself!"
"Brother, can you give me some money? I also want to give you a gift!"
Looking at Lu Yan naively, Niu Long made nervous movements.
"No, I gave you one gold a month, where did you spend it?"
Looking at Niu Long, Lu Yan couldn't help but complain,
These days, ordinary people only get three taels a year. He earns one gold a month, and he still belongs to the moonlight tribe.
"Didn't I meet a friend here? I invited him to drink recently, so I spent it a little faster!"
Looking at Lu Yan, Niu Long quickly explained,
Looking at Niu Long, Lu Yan casually took out a gold ingot and threw it on the table: "Get lost! Don't disturb my mood!"
"Okay, big brother!"
Niu Long happily left with the gold. Niu Long seemed very satisfied.
Watching Niu Long leave, Lu Yan shook his head silently and said, "It's time to find him a marriage! This way, you won't be afraid of dying early when you visit brothels every day!"
While Lu Yan was drinking alone and listening to a ditty, there was a sound of smashing in the building.
Getting up out of curiosity, Lu Yan quickly carried the fruit plate out.
Who wants to listen to a ditty when there is so much fun to watch!
But just when Lu Yan walked to the railing, he saw that the man below was Niu Long, and there was also a big man he didn't recognize.
The opponent looked extremely brave, and a few other people couldn't get close to him.
Together with Niu Long, the two of them were on par with the dozen or so people in front of them.
Looking at this scene, Lu Yan did not intervene, but just ate the melon.
When it comes to worrying about his little brother being beaten, Lu Yan doesn't take it to heart.
After all, even if they didn't use the knife, even if they really captured Niu Long, Lu Yan would still have to let him go.
It would be nice to let a fool like Niu Long suffer a little loss. Don't underestimate the world just because of your height and strength!
"What a brave bitch, I dare to provoke your Master Wang in Suzhou City! If you mind your own business, I'll kill you!"
Holding a folding fan in his hand, a haggard-looking young man was roaring from behind.
But after hearing what the other party said, Niu Long roared: "If someone doesn't want to accompany you, what can you do? Grandpa Niu takes care of today's business!"
"Brother Niu is right, and I, Shi Bao, will accompany you to the end!"
Seeing Niu Long being so generous and taking action for a singing girl, Shi Bao's face was full of heroism.
When he heard the man below reveal his name, Lu Yan squinted his eyes.
Shi Bao? This will be Fang La's number one general in the future after he starts!
He has excellent martial arts skills and even higher intelligence. He defeated and killed many generals in Liangshan one after another. It is a nightmare in Liangshan!
Wulongling was defeated. Shi Bao was unwilling to betray his master and was worried about being humiliated, so he committed suicide.
On the Water Margin side, Shi Bao is the villain, but is Liang Shan really a good guy?
While the fight between the two sides was getting lively, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded the brothel.
Seeing the person coming, Prince Wang quickly said with joy: "Cousin, help me!"
"How brave, you two dare to cause chaos in Suzhou City! Let me take it down!"
Entering the brothel, the person in charge of leading the troops immediately said with a gloomy face,
But just as he finished speaking, Niu Long quickly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, you don't intend to distinguish right from wrong!"
"Huh? I need you to teach me what I do?"
Looking at Niu Long, Captain Wang immediately scolded him,
"good!"
Pointing at Colonel Wang, Niu Long quickly shouted: "Brother!"
"Well, are there any accomplices?"
After hearing what Niu Long said, the officers and soldiers quickly became nervous.
But at this moment, Lu Yan walked down from upstairs helplessly.
After all, Niu Long had "executed" him, and it wouldn't be possible if he didn't come down.
Seeing Lu Yan wearing a black-patterned military uniform, Colonel Wang had a solemn look on his face. After all, he showed an official air when he walked.
"Martial Arts Master of the Imperial City Division, Lu Yan!"
Speaking in an understatement, Lu Yan held up the token and said, "Has my little brother offended you?"
Looking at Niu Long in shock, Captain Wang was dumbfounded. Does this idiot have a backer from the Imperial City Division? You are still a martial arts master. You told me so early, my family!
"My lord, please forgive me! That's not the case!"
Bowing quickly, Colonel Wang explained,
Looking at Niu Long in surprise, Shi Bao was also very shocked at the moment, because his elder brother was actually willing to take this guy in?
The prince, who was hiding behind the servant, looked at all this with an embarrassed look on his face.
Imperial City Division? What organization is that? Today, something is going to happen!
