Meng Yi replied while sitting on the chair and twisting his neck.
"Okay, then rest today and prepare tomorrow."
Meng Yi was right. Although riding in a boat is not tiring, the swaying water can sometimes make people feel tired and their backs ached.
After a night's rest, everyone sat in the hall of the county magistrate's mansion the next day, feeling refreshed.
"I've already asked people to prepare, but I have a question. The Mohist disciple and the boatman who came with me to repair the boat, do they not need to go back?"
The others were not important, but he was a little unsure about these few people.
"That's what I was going to tell you."
Zhao Jun picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
"I also need to tell the county governor about this matter."
She glanced at Zhu Lin who was sitting next to her and said.
"First of all, the boat must stay in Ba County. Zhu Lin will be in charge of its management from now on. It will mainly be used for transportation to the winery. I have also made arrangements with County Magistrate Pan."
"All the boatmen and repairmen on board were brought here from Xianyang. They will have to go back later, so County Magistrate Zhu, you must recruit a few boat operators and repairmen in Ba County."

"But, I have something to say in advance, Zhu Lin. This ship is the first of its kind in the Qin Dynasty. You must take good care of it. People from Xianyang might come to inspect it occasionally. Don't be partial and bend the law."
She stared at Zhu Lin for a long time and made a move in advance.
"Your Excellency, I will maintain the ship properly and be ready for inspection at any time. I will not show favoritism."
Zhu Lin was startled and quickly expressed his attitude.
"Okay, that's settled. The boatmen will stay in Ba County for two months to train the new recruits, and then we'll send them back to Xianyang."
"Okay, no problem on my end."
Meng Yi nodded, and the matter was resolved.
The remaining time was spent by the few of them preparing their things for departure.
