A piece of news was quickly confirmed in the court. Li Shimin's emperor's personal army was forming a special commanding envoy in front of the palace.
The leader of the command department in front of the palace is Su Dingfang, a powerful general of the fourth rank. This is something that no one expected.
But on Su Dingfang's side, when Li Shimin assigned him a position and whereabouts, and when he had a reasonable identity and could do whatever he wanted to do in a reasonable manner, Xu Yunyan's side finally gained strength and *** Enough skilled craftsmen began to build ships.
Under Xu Yunyan's heavy reward, some skilled craftsmen really came up with the simplest and most effective way to ensure that there would be no problems with the main beam Xu Yunyan needed.
Just as Xu Yunyan was rejoicing that they could finally ensure the normal operation of the ship without any hidden dangers, the model keel of the first ship was almost completed.
And those skilled craftsmen are still confused, just like the craftsmen on the other side of Yancheng are confused here.
“Can such a boat really be launched into the water?”
However, the general Zhe Chong Mansion here did not pamper them.
"What are you talking about? Is this something you should talk about? Just do whatever you have to do, and do what I tell you to do. If you dare to talk nonsense here, be careful about the weapons in grandpa's hands and whether he will show mercy to you. ."
Under this high-intensity oppression, these craftsmen did not dare to express their anger. They obeyed the orders of Zhe Chongfu soldiers here and carefully made preparations here, but they did not dare to cause trouble for themselves.
This was an unexpected surprise. All the craftsmen were doing what they were supposed to do. With the model in hand, the shipbuilding progress was very fast. Even Xu Yunyan did not expect it.
"Does it mean that the craftsmen on the southern coast naturally have the attribute bonus of making ships?"
This half-joking sentence made many Zhechong Prefecture generals next to him puzzled. However, Xu Yunyan did not explain anything to them, nor did he realize that what he just said seemed to be a bit wrong. He looked at the mood of the group of Zhechong Prefecture soldiers in front of him. Well said.
"When this ship is launched, you will all be great contributors. I will write to Your Majesty to request credit for you."
Xu Yunyan's casual words made these Zhezhong Mansion soldiers almost kneel on the ground in emotion.
But just when Xu Yunyan returned to his home in Qiongzhou City, the residence of General Zhongwu, after inspecting the secret shipyard to see how his wife was doing, Zhang Liang appeared in front of him for the first time.
"General, someone came to visit you while you were out."
"Is someone coming to visit?"
Xu Yunyan was very curious, "Who will come to visit me?"
"I heard he came from the north."
"Coming from the north? I have friends here in the south?"
Xu Yunyan was very curious, "Did you leave any business cards or other items that could identify you?"
Xu Yunyan still kept asking Zhang Liang if the visitor had left anything behind.
Zhang Liang shook his head.
"General, the visitor didn't leave anything behind. He didn't leave any words. He just heard that the general was not here and left."
"Is that so? Interesting."
Xu Yunyan muttered and then scratched his head.
"Since I don't know what's going on, let me leave first. When I come back, please be sure to wait for me here. If it is really relevant, he will probably come to visit again, right?"
Xu Yunyan said this, and entered his courtyard with Zhang Liang nodding. The four brothers of the Ding family who followed him to protect him quickly took over from the other soldiers who accompanied Zhang Liang at the door and then guarded the door. Xu Yunyan As soon as I walked in and took a few steps, an ice lump was thrown towards me in the distance.
"Hey, this busy man is still willing to go home?"
Yue'er was gossiping here again, which made Xu Yunyan a little confused.
"Yue'er, where did my brother offend you? I took a break from my busy schedule and made ice, so why do I still treat my brother like this? Is it really the daughter of the eldest daughter Bu Zhongliu who is getting married? My brother's heart hurts so much!"
After Xu Yunyan trained Yue'er here, Yue'er stared at him quietly.
"What have you been thinking about all day? Want to write this (unfinished chapter!)
Chapter 545: Casting stones to ask for directions
You can kick the young lady out, but not now. My sister-in-law hasn't woken up yet. You take care of her? I'm worried that you might have problems taking care of me. "
Yue'er just finished speaking here, Xu Yunyan finally knew what was going on and stayed here with a smiling face.
"Yue'er is my brother's fault, and I've made you angry again. You can hit my brother twice or scold me twice, as long as you don't get angry anymore. Do you think this is okay?"
Xu Yunyan was here trying to persuade Yue'er, but Yue'er looked at him fiercely.
"Do you think I'm angry over such a trivial matter? Tell me, what were you doing outside? Why did someone throw stones at our door?"
"What?"
Xu Yunyan was surprised at this moment.
"Someone threw stones at our door from outside the courtyard?"
"Yeah, why do you think I'm so angry? It's not because of your misbehavior. Tell me! What wrong thing did you do? Why would someone come to our house to cause trouble like this?"
Yue'er looked at Xu Yunyan here and asked fiercely, but Xu Yunyan was so embarrassed.
"I really didn't do anything. What kind of stone is it? Are there any words on the stone? Is it wrapped in paper?"
After Xu Yunyan asked, Yue'er looked at him with disdain.
"Hey! Look, you really have a guilty conscience. What on earth did you get into? Why is there some white paper money wrapped on this stone?"
"What?"
Xu Yunyan was surprised this time. White paper money? This is something only a dead person would use.
Is it a fake corpse or a zongzi?
No, no!
Why is this becoming more and more bizarre as I talk about it? This is something used by relatives and friends to commemorate the deceased when someone else has passed away. How could it be thrown into our home?
Xu Yunyan was puzzled by this, looking at Yue'er here and seeking an explanation from Yue'er. And Yue'er did not disappoint him. Soon, he took out a few stones from the nook and corner, and attached to the stones were some white ones, which are only found when the dead are buried. Use the paper money from those sacrifices.
This is interesting, who is this? What does throwing out paper money mean? Are you going to kill me?
Xu Yunyan scratched his head here, not sure who he had offended? Why would someone be so obsessed with killing themselves?
Yue'er looked at him with disgust and said, "Tell me! How many people have you offended outside? Did you find a little girl outside? She has a family, so she did such a bizarre thing?"
Seeing Yue'er's gossipy look, and even Liu Qiang who didn't know when he appeared behind him, Xu Yunyan said righteously.
"Who do you think I am? Would I do such a thing? If Jingjing treats me like this, even if it is for nothing else but for Jingjing, I will not do such an outrageous thing!"
"It's hard to say."
Although Xu Yunyan was speaking righteously here, Yue'er and Liu Qiang looked at Xu Yunyan as if they were listening to heavenly books and watching the excitement, which made Xu Yunyan embarrassed.
"My eldest lady, I really would not do such a wrong thing. Why can't you trust me?"
Xu Yunyan wanted to cry a little. His sister didn't believe in him so much. Even Brother Liu, who had always been optimistic about him, looked at him with confusion, which completely made Xu Yunyan a little confused.
Xu Yunyan sighed when he saw that despite his explanation, the two people were still there as if watching the fun and looking at him with strange eyes.
"It seems I have to find out what's going on. Someone actually invested such paper money."
But as soon as Xu Yunyan said this, he wiped the paper money with his hand. He felt that the money was a bit strange, so he took it to his nose and smelled it.
This moment made Yue'er and Liu Qiang have goosebumps all over their bodies. Liu Qiang didn't say anything, but Yue'er made an exaggerated gesture with a look of disgust.
"You guys are actually okay with this mouthful? Does it taste like death?
Oops, it's so disgusting. You're disgusting me. Leave now and don't appear in front of me again. "
