Song Chengjian immediately thought of the conch shell he had made for Wen Shishi.
After surviving a typhoon, being dragged up the mountain, and going through numerous twists and turns, the conch shell has been lost without a trace...
The method is not difficult. If it is used for maritime warnings and also for people on shore to facilitate information exchange, it will be of great benefit.
Song Chengjian immediately asked Lao Wu and Lao Qi to help him search for more seashells on the beach.
He borrowed a knife from the fishermen and waited for Lao Jiu and the others to drag the bamboo back so that he could cut the thin slices for the conch shell.
They borrowed a section of hemp rope from the fishermen and used it as a rope for hanging conch shells.
The bamboo was quickly dragged back.
Song Chengjian clasped his hands in greeting to the fishermen who had come with him, and immediately instructed his younger brothers to divide the bamboo into fixed lengths, slowly roast the bamboo strips over a small fire, and then secure them with hemp rope.
The brothers then realized that their second brother wanted to make bamboo arrows.
They had helped their second brother before, and were involved in almost everything.
Although the tools were incomplete, the movements were still quite skillful.
Cut bamboo into fixed widths, slice it into strips, use bamboo shears...
One process after another, proceeding in an orderly manner.
Song Chengyu and Song Chengyao found the conch shells one after another and quickly brought them back.
Song Chengjian focused on using bamboo to make thin sheets.
Clean the conch shell, insert a thin piece, adjust the volume, and make it into a conch horn.
"Waaah..."
Hearing the loud sound, everyone turned to look at him.
The children crowded around, with Wen Shishi and Xiao Bao running the fastest.
Wen Shishi looked down and then remembered that she should have been wearing one around her neck...
Upon seeing that there was nothing there, he immediately lowered his head in disappointment.
Song Chengjian understood, patted Wen Shishi's head, and gently comforted her, "Shishi, what your brother is doing now is to save people..."
I can't give it to you right now. We need to wait until we rescue Xiaobao's father and the others...
"How much do you want? Your second brother will make it for you. Okay?"
Wen Shishi turned her head and saw Xiao Bao looking at her pitifully...
Her eyes were dim, and she nodded obediently.
"Second Young Master, what is this? May I take a look?"
Jiang Xinyu, being a young man, was hearing such a sound for the first time.
I just saw Song Chengjian busy at work, but I don't know how he made it, and I'm very curious.
But Qin Shan, standing to the side, had a clearly burning gaze.
Without saying a word, Song Chengjian handed it over directly, saying, "You can blow it, why don't you try?"
Jiang Xinyu was eager to try it out and took it in his hand to examine it closely.
After roughly understanding the level, and not minding that Song Chengjian had blown it a few times, he put it in his mouth and tried it out.
As soon as the sound rang out, he couldn't suppress his smile, just like a child.
"It's not finished yet," Song Chengjian added, pointing to a spot above.
"Wait a minute, let's make a hole here, thread a rope through it, and hang it around our necks."
Jiang Xinyu imagined it for a moment; it would be absolutely magical to wear it around her neck!
Not far away, Song Chenghou saw this and waved to Wen Shishi.
Wen Shishi obediently approached and wrapped her arms around her older brother's neck.
"Shishi, if Big Brother wants to help others, and also to give his brothers and Shishi a better life..."
I need to teach Shishi how to make a conch shell, which she taught her brothers, and teach others...
Does Shishi agree?
Although Wen Shishi is still young, her comprehension is amazing.
Understanding his elder brother's meaning, he immediately nodded, "Use it! Elder brother, you use it!"
She cupped her two little hands together, rubbing them together as she spoke; she looked incredibly cute.
Song Chenghou said earnestly, "Shishi, I thank you on behalf of my brothers, and also on behalf of others."
At this moment, Wen Shishi was like a little adult, talking earnestly with Song Chenghou.
"I learned how to make the conch shell because I had seen it before; my grandfather had bought it for me before."
I didn't invent it, so anyone can use it to make things.
As long as everyone is happy and joyful when they use the conch shell, then it's fine to use it!
Song Chenghou's eyes softened. How could his little girl be so good!
After placing Wen Shishi next to the third brother, Song Chenghou walked to the second brother and Jiang Xinyu.
Qin Shan was right next to Jiang Xinyu.
"Xin Yu, there's something we need to discuss with you."
Jiang Xinyu returned the conch shell to Song Chengjian and solemnly walked to Song Chenghou's side.
"Second brother, please come over here as well as Steward Qin."
The two came over, and Song Chenghou solemnly told Jiang Xinyu about the worst possible outcome of this voyage.
"Salary surplus, large ships are very expensive to build."
We borrowed it to save lives, but we also need to prepare for the worst.
Jiang Xinyu said magnanimously, "I promised to save people myself. Even if the ship is damaged, as long as everyone is safe, everything else is minor..."
Qin Shan, who was standing to the side, changed his expression slightly.
Even if a large ship is damaged, it can be towed back for repairs and continue to be used.
If it were to be destroyed and rebuilt, it would cost the government 30% of its annual revenue.
Seeing this, Song Chenghou pretended not to know.
He took the conch shell from Song Chengjian and said, "How about we take this as payment?"
Let's consider this large ship as something we've purchased.
Jiang Xinyu had no intention of treating saving lives as a business at this moment.
But I couldn't help but think about the business of this conch shell...
The raw materials are plentiful in the sea; they are collected regularly from fishermen and then handed over to people to manufacture the wires, including drilling holes and stringing them together...
With low profit margins and high sales volume, we can sell to the entire Da Yin Dynasty.
In wealthy cities like the capital, one could even commission someone to paint various patterns on the surface of a conch shell...
For wealthy families, they could buy them as toys for their young ladies and gentlemen, or place them in their homes as decorative items...
Even a casual thought like this makes the business incredibly profitable.
