Chapter 343 The boat is bought.

It turns out that the shipyard is near the inland dock. The boat has been built and can go directly to sea along the inland river.

  The shipyard is run by the government. When Gu Zhang and his party arrived at the shipyard, Shitou showed some voucher to the official, and an official immediately invited everyone in politely.

  The officials led everyone into a particularly tall shipbuilding factory, where there were several semi-finished ships and hundreds of workers busy.

  After looking around inside, the officials took everyone outside. Outside, there were many completed boats parked against the river.

  The largest ship was several stories high, more than a hundred meters long, and dozens of meters wide. It was really a huge thing.

  The official pointed at the boats and said as he walked: "These boats are made of fine nanmu. The labor cost alone costs thousands of taels of silver. We can only build dozens of boats a year."

  Gu Zhang remembered what his daughter said. He wanted to buy the biggest one, so he stared at the biggest boat.

  After seeing it, he asked the official, "If you want to buy this ship, when can you take delivery?" The official shook his head repeatedly, "Even if you want to buy it, you have to wait until next year.   The

  ten completed ships have been ordered by others a long time ago."

Akira was stunned at that time. He thought he could buy it with money when he came.

  Finally, Shitou said, "Since there are ready-made ones, our prince wants all ten of them. You just have to take your time as they have decided to do it. The prince can't wait here."

  The official bowed to Shitou, "Little Brother, I have no control over this matter. Please wait a moment while I ask the superior officer to come over."

  The official told his subordinates to greet several people, and he hurriedly went to find someone.

  Everyone took the time to discuss it, and if ten ships could be taken, the Gu family would take two, Young Master Zhu would take two each, and the Crown Prince would take four.

  After waiting for a cup of tea, the official came over with several people.

  The first one, wearing a fifth-grade official uniform, came over to greet a few people and said politely to Shitou: "This boat was originally ordered by a wealthy businessman named Wang. Since it is the prince who wants the boat, I will keep him close to him first." I can do it, just a little, the money to buy the boat -"

  Shitou smiled, "Don't worry, it won't cost you money, the price will be whatever it is."

  The official breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, I don't know. "Should we deliver it now or -"

  Shitou said cheerfully, "I can hand over the money now."

  Everyone came prepared and feared that the night would be long and they would have too many dreams, so they handed over the money right away. Mr. Zhu gave the two of them a wink. Each of the officials stuffed a two hundred taels of silver note.

  Once the formalities are completed, the boat is purchased. Later, when you get the voucher, you can drive the boat away.

  Gu Zhang didn't raise his head as he ate, "Going to sea involves a lot of knowledge. Master Yu is a veteran and knows a lot. I asked him to help me find the captain and sailor."

  "Master Zhu, that's it. " Bian said, if I don't know what to buy and where to buy it, I can go with his manager. They have good knowledge and can guarantee the lowest price."

  Gu Fei nodded, "Dad, it will be hard during this time. "

  Gu Zhang waved his hand, "That's right, but there are still many complicated things here. I have to call your eldest uncle and Jin Sheng to run with you tomorrow, so that you can get familiar with the ways here early. "

  As he ate, he suddenly grinned, "Do you know how to package this porcelain so that it doesn't break when shipped to sea?"

  Gu Fei said with a wink, "I don't know, dad, do you know?"
