Chapter 104 The Gathering of Heroes
"Your Majesty loses revenge and pays homage to Your Highness!"

As soon as he heard that Zheng Ming was coming, the little old man Gongshuchou came running over, with a bright smile on his ugly face, looking a little funny.

"Mr. Gongshu, you have worked hard." Zheng Ming patted him on the shoulder and said.

"It's not hard to serve His Highness." Gong Shuchou said with a flattering smile.

When everyone entered the shipyard, it immediately caused a sensation.

Today's shipyard is not what it was a year ago. The total number of workers has exceeded a thousand, and many of them are professional technicians.

Just this year, Gongshuchou has accepted more than 100 disciples, most of them are in this shipyard.

"Meet Your Highness!"

Seeing Zheng Ming, a group of workers paid homage one after another.

Zheng Ming smiled lightly and said, "Get up, I'm just here to take a look around, you guys continue to work."

Afterwards, the officials of the shipyard took the workers away, and Zheng Ming wandered casually in the dock.

At this time, a large ship was lying quietly in the dock.It is about 40 meters long and 2 meters wide. It is tall and tall, with a raised bottom, raised head and tail, 3 masts, and [-] cabins. The deck is as high as a city.

Zheng Ming asked Gong Shuchou, "Is this the lucky boat you newly designed?"

Gong Shuchou replied: "Return to Your Highness, it is exactly. This ship is specially designed by the officials for the navy. It can be driven by sails and oars at the same time. Its speed is far faster than ordinary sea ships. It is also equipped with 32 crossbows."

Since the mirage was vetoed by Zheng Ming, Gongshuchou has designed several ships that fit the situation in Shanhai County.

There are large lucky boats, medium-sized bird boats, wheel boats, haicang boats, and small fast boats. It can be said that all aspects of the navy have been considered.

Zheng Ming asked, "How long will it take to manufacture this ship?"

Gongshu Qiudao: "One large blessing ship can be manufactured in five months. Currently, the shipyard has four large docks, and four ships can be built at the same time."

Zheng Ming stared at the majestic hull, his mind swayed for a while.

With this big ship, the navy of Shanhai County can be called a real navy.

To be honest, the former sailors were more like pirates. After all, most of the sailors were pirates. Even after rigorous training, they were not as good as real sailors.Because the gap between ships and equipment is too great.

It's different now, as long as all the navy's ships are replaced, they will be no worse than the real navy.

The real navy that Zheng Ming thought of was the navy of the Great Jin Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty. These two dynasties had tens of thousands of sailors, deterring the surrounding waters.

Even the weak Dongying Dynasty has a powerful navy, but the navy of the Dongying Dynasty usually stays on the east side of Yinshen Island where the shogunate is located.

Since Zheng Ming wanted to make waves at sea, his target was naturally the navy of the major dynasties.

"Currently, how many lucky boats are equipped by the Navy." He asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, four ships have been equipped, and these four ships are expected to be launched next month." Gong Shuchou said.

At present, there are two naval divisions in Shanhai County, Yuanhang and Shuai, with a total of more than [-] people, and it is almost enough to equip eight Fuchuan.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and continued to stroll around the shipyard.

……

With the development of business, the number of migrants in Shanhai County is increasing.

On the streets, merchants in brocade clothes can be seen everywhere, and horse-drawn carts and donkey carts full of goods come and go. The streets, which were supposed to be relatively wide, are now full of people.

Zheng Ming was wearing bright yellow brocade clothes, leading Song Baobao and Chen Duo, wandering around the streets like a family son.

"Your Highness, I heard that this newly opened restaurant has a famous dish, do you want to try it?"

Walking to a restaurant, Song Baobao stopped suddenly.

Zheng Ming stopped and looked into the restaurant.

I saw that the hall was full of guests, bustling and bustling, and it was very lively.

Dongli Restaurant!

At this time last year, there was only one restaurant in Shanhai County, but now there are more than ten restaurants in Shanhai County, and each one is very luxuriously decorated.

This Dongli Restaurant should have just opened last month, and Zheng Ming hasn't tried it yet.

"Go, go and see!"

Zheng Ming stepped forward and stepped into the restaurant.

"My lord, please come inside!" A waiter immediately greeted him.

"My lord, do you want to stay in the hotel or eat?"

Zheng Ming glanced at the lively lobby and said, "Give me a private room."

"Okay, sir, please go upstairs."

Xiao Er enthusiastically led Zheng Ming upstairs, and then arranged for Zheng Ming a private room facing the street.

"Guest officer, what would you like to eat?"

"Bring out your signature dishes, um, and a good pot of tea." Zheng Ming said casually.

Xiao Er responded and retreated.

In the private room, Zheng Ming sat by the window and casually watched the pedestrians coming and going on the street.

Suddenly, Zheng Ming frowned slightly.

The street was very lively and there were many pedestrians coming and going, but he found an unusual place.

That is, there seem to be a lot of warriors among them.

In just a moment, Zheng Ming saw more than a dozen warriors carrying weapons walking past the restaurant.

And when he came up from the first floor just now, he also saw many warriors.

In the past, Shanhai County was poor and there were few warriors. Now Shanhai County has Wuyuan, Yihua Palace, Beixuanzong, etc., and has trained many young warriors, but these warriors basically practice in Wuyuan or Zongmen.

Even if you leave the Wuyuan and Zongmen, you will be assigned to the army or the fleet.

It stands to reason that there would not be so many warriors wandering around in Shanhai County.

"Young master, please drink tea!"

At this moment, Xiao Er came in with a pot of tea.

Song Baobao stepped forward to take the tea, and when a cup arrived, Chen Duo tasted it before passing it to Zheng Ming.

"Xiaoer, have there been many warriors in the city recently?" Zheng Ming asked.

Xiaoer laughed flatteringly: "Returning to the son, there are indeed many people. It is said that there are some treasures in Shanhai County. These people are here to hunt for treasures."

"Treasure!" Zheng Ming was stunned.

"That's right, I heard that it is the treasure house of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, but I don't know the specifics." Xiao Er still had a smile on his face.

When Zheng Ming saw him like this, he didn't know what it meant.

He took out two silver dollars from his waist and threw them to him, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, just say what you know."

Seeing the silver dollars rolling on the table, Xiao Er's eyes lit up immediately.

"Oh, thank you, Young Master, for the reward. The little one knows everything without saying anything."

He picked up the silver dollar and put it in his pocket, and said: "The Heavenly Lotus Sect was a cult a hundred years ago. The Hundred Refining Sect took action and wiped them out."

Xiao Er lowered his voice and said: "It is said that Tianlian Sect has three treasure houses, one of which was obtained by Bailianzong, and the other two are in Luoyu Mountain and Yushui River. A treasure map appeared in the rivers and lakes a month ago. , the location marked on the treasure map is in the mountains in the west of Shanhai County, so many knight-errants come here to hunt for the treasure."

"There are not only Jianghu knights, but also sect disciples, Fairy Jingyue from Lingyue Sect, Swordsman Qingshui from Yishui Sect, Monk Tongming from Hanshan Temple, Scholar Jianyu from Huacheng Academy, etc."

"Now Shanhai County can be said to be a gathering of heroes, and it is extremely lively." Xiaoer looked excited.
