Chapter 472 Shipbuilding Successful, Trial Seas Begin
Seeing Wu Kui's reluctant expression and noticing that no one was around, Lin Luoxi made a promise to him directly.
"That's more like it." Wu Kui smiled contentedly after eating the empty promises made, and followed the group to participate in the shipbuilding operation.
Zhao Cheng truly lived up to his monstrous talent in shipbuilding. After merely looking at Lin Luoxi's design drawings and the various shipbuilding materials she had purchased, he immediately began arranging for people to get started.
In the afternoon, the sounds of clanging and hammering echoed from the docks in the east of the city.
To ensure these people had good food and lodging, Lin Luoxi even spent money to purchase some wood and build a simple rest shed.
He even hired a chef from one of his own businesses to cook, ensuring that the shipbuilding workers were well-fed and had the energy to work.
"Zhao Dong, look how good Princess Changping is to us. We must make sure to build our ships sturdier. We can't rush things!"
As Zhao Cheng rested in his wooden house that night, he felt embarrassed about the treatment he had received that day. He told his apprentices to work hard.
"Understood, Master!" Zhao Dong and the others thought the same way. The wages and benefits were high, and they couldn't afford to ruin the business.
To take special care of Zhao Qing, Lin Luoxi partitioned off a separate room in the wooden house for her to live in alone, while the other men all slept in a large communal room.
"What are you doing?" Lin Luoxi was worried about Wu Kui's men. She still remembered how they drooled over her when they first saw her.
Still worried about Zhao Qing sleeping alone in the cubicle, he got up to patrol the night and saw someone lurking suspiciously in front of Zhao Qing's door. He immediately shouted at him.
"No, nothing, I just needed to pee, so I got up to relieve myself..." Caught red-handed by Lin Luoxi, Deng Qi panicked and made up an excuse.
"I know what you're up to. Let me tell you, I've poisoned Zhao Qing's door. Anyone who touches it will be infertile and impotent. If you're not afraid, feel free to try..."
To intimidate these people, Lin Luoxi actually poisoned the door.
Lying in the cubicle, Zhao Qing felt a warm current surge in her heart upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words.
Lin Luoxi was the person who cared for and looked after her brother, and she was very grateful to have met such a good princess.
Lin Luoxi's voice was loud enough that not only Wu Kui's people heard it, but also the people inside the wooden house.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but they were all stunned by Lin Luoxi's words.
After Lin Luoxi made things clear, there were no more suspicious figures in front of Zhao Qing's door.
Even if you need to pass by Zhao Qing's door, you have to take a long detour.
They were in their prime and didn't want to be poisoned by Lin Luoxi's medicine and become impotent.
Zhao Dong was very grateful to Lin Luoxi for thinking so much about his sister. As a grown man, he hadn't considered the danger his sister might face living outside.
If something really happened to his sister, he would have no face to face his deceased parents.
The men had nowhere to vent their lust, so they could only do so by building ships.
The hammer was swung so fast and so loudly.
In three days, a model of the ship's hull gradually began to emerge.
Over the past three days, Wu Kui has also witnessed Zhao Cheng's prowess in shipbuilding. He no longer harbors prejudices and humbly seeks advice from Zhao Cheng.
After three days of adjustment, the pirate henchmen and the people from Zhao City finally developed a tacit understanding.
The model of the ship's bottom is out; building the entire framework is by no means simple.
There were ten people from Zhao Cheng's side, more than forty people from Wu Kui's side, plus Lin Luoxi's family of seven, making a total of about sixty people. It took them almost a year to finally rebuild Lin Luoxi's ship.
Therefore, Lin Luoxi specially chose an auspicious day to officially push the three-story-high ship into the sea.
Lin Luoxi caused quite a stir at the East City Wharf, attracting people to come and watch every day.
As the boat was built higher and higher by sixty people, more and more people came to watch.
Those who once looked down on Zhao Cheng, seeing how the ship was being built more and more exquisitely by Zhao Cheng and his dozens of men, were seeing a ship they had never seen before, and Zhao Cheng and his men's reputation grew louder and louder.
Lin Luoxi invited over a thousand people to push the massive ship into the sea, creating quite a splash.
As Wu Kui wished, Lin Luoxi let him take the helm, and then invited Zhao Cheng and others to board the ship for a trial voyage.
"The sunset at sea is so beautiful!" Zhao Qing stood on their meticulously crafted deck. The high deck provided a wide and clear view.
The magnificent sunset felt as if it were right above my head.
"It's really beautiful." Sitting on the deck, eating barbecue, Lin Luoxi looked up at the sunset overhead and felt very relaxed.
She used to not understand why wealthy second-generation heirs liked to travel on yachts at sea so much.
As she sat on her own ship, she came to understand those people's preferences.
"Princess, the trial voyage was successful. Shall we return to the dock?" Zhao Cheng had been observing the ship in the helm area for a night and found no problems, so he came up to report to Lin Luoxi.
"Do you dare come with me to the West?" We've already come this far, there's no reason to go back.
Lin Luoxi looked at Zhao Cheng and the others and extended a sincere invitation.
"Can we really go with you?" They were surprised that Lin Ruoxi would invite them to go to the West together.
The West, that's a place full of mystery, they've never been there in their lives.
If Lin Luoxi hadn't kept saying that their ship was built according to the Western style, they wouldn't have believed that such a country really existed.
"You built this ship with your own hands, piece by piece, so why can't you? Settle in comfortably..."
"I already had your things packed up and put on the ship."
Lin Luoxi knew what Zhao Cheng and the others were worried about, and told them that their things were already on the ship.
"Thank you, Princess!" Zhao Cheng quickly looked for his bag after hearing Lin Luoxi's words.
His bundle contained all the wages he had earned over the past year; he couldn't afford to lose it.
When Zhao Cheng ran up to the second floor, Xie Zhili and the others were standing at the door. They waited for Zhao Cheng to give his name before handing him his things.
Zhao Cheng anxiously patted his pillow to make sure his things were still there, and then became as excited as a child.
He clasped his hands together and bowed in every direction, finally bowing solemnly in the direction where Lin Luoxi was.
He bowed deeply to Xie Zhili and the others with great sincerity, thanking them for watching over his luggage.
