Zheng Family Mansion.

It was already night.

The entire courtyard is brightly lit and full of people.

The shipbuilding industry of the Zheng family encompasses most of the docks in Yangzhou, and the small stewards of those docks returned to the house one after another and accounted to Mr. Accountant about the money income and expenditure of the day.

In the front hall, the overseers who had been busy for a day ate meat and big bowls and drank, the collision of pottery bowls and the laughter of toasts intertwined.

In the huge front yard, bustling with people.

Listening to the faint noise coming from the front yard, Zheng Yuan, who was sitting in the backyard enjoying the shade, raised his eyes and looked at the direction of the front yard, feeling relieved.

As early as three years ago, the Zheng family, like many shipbuilding families in Yangzhou City, had been trading boats and peddling goods on the river.

There are only a dozen famous servants in the family.

Perhaps it was because of the smoke from the ancestral tomb that General Yan from the Tang Dynasty suddenly visited Yangzhou to build a water division and build battleships. The Zheng family was the first to come.

With this government's business, the Zheng family quickly rose up as if a pie fell from the sky.

First, they recruited a group of craftsmen from Yangzhou, brainstorming and forming a set of shipbuilding skills unique to the Zheng family.

Especially in the keel structure, it is unique and outstanding in the entire Yangzhou.

With the official navy as the backstage, Zheng Yuan's industry has been somewhat bullying, and gradually eroded more than half of Yangzhou's wharf.

The Zheng family quickly became the leader of the shipbuilding industry in Qingzhou.

Tang Hao suddenly came uninvited and said that he was coming to build a huge ship, which gave Zheng Yuan a bit of guesswork.

It was General Yan’s navy that he relied on, and he had a glorious family today.

But whether this Tang Hao came to assist General Yan or take over General Yan is unclear.

After thinking about it, the sound of subtle footsteps sounded, and the manager walked around the corridor.

Standing in front of Zheng Yuan, cupped hands in charge said.

"Patriarch, Tang Mansion has another new move."

Sitting on the mat, Zheng Yuan raised the corner of his mouth and glanced up at the manager.

"New action?"

"I burned mud a few days ago, but I have burned stones these days."

"Today's new action is not to dig some gravel and burn it in the kiln?"

Tang Hao's unusual behavior had already spread in the city, and Zheng Yuan's initial curiosity had long been consumed by this almost foolish move, and what was left was just some jokes and sarcasm.

The steward leaned forward and whispered quietly.

"Patriarch! This Tang Hao is definitely not a dude. What is displayed at the entrance of Tang Mansion today is a huge glass fish tank."

"The shape is chic and exquisite, crystal clear, like nothing, you can see the koi scales in the tank clearly!"

Zheng Yuan's eyes twitched a few times, a little surprised.

Can glass be made?

This kind of thing was mostly produced in the Western Regions volcano generation and is extremely rare.

Only the craftsmen there got a few pieces of material to make a very small number of carvings.

He, Tang Hao, who was unlearned and unskilled, was doing all these absurd things in Yangzhou, how could he create such a treasure?

Where does the material come from? Could it be those mud stones?

Zheng Yuan sat up straight, frowned slightly, with an incredible expression on his face.

"How did he make it?"

"These treasures came from him, not bought?"

The manager straightened up, his face full of confusion.

"I'm also at a loss, but Tang Hao has never been to a long distance, or even been to the downtown area in these days!"

After listening to the steward's words, Zheng Yuan slowly leaned back in his chair, his mood fluctuating.

This structural firing and shipbuilding have the same effect.

The exquisite structure and practical fit can be called a superior product. If there is some work on this model, it is novel and unique, it can be called art.

The creation of an object like Liuli has already shocked Zheng Yuan, not to mention being praised by the steward for his style.

Zheng Yuan is very familiar with this steward. He is an expert in shipbuilding design. If he can be praised by him, he must be one of the best in a million.

This shocking news came, and Zheng Yuan had to re-examine Tang Hao again.

Holding a few beards on his chin, Zheng Yuan raised his brows.

"From your point of view, is this Tang Hao wise and foolish, or is he looking for a treasure and then fooling around?"

The steward beside him did not immediately answer, he put his arms around his chest, and was silent for a moment.

"It's hard to decide!"

"But obviously, Tang Hao's move caused a sensation in the land of Yangzhou."

"To attract talents for his shipbuilding plan!"

Zheng Yuan snorted softly, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

"This is natural. Realm does not distinguish between modeling techniques. Since he has such a talent for construction, he must have done a lot of research on shipbuilding modeling."

"But in this place of Yangzhou, if you can't come up with any real evidence, how can you invite these great shipbuilding masters in Yangzhou?"

"This kid is not stupid at all."

After mentioning something, the manager was a little uneasy and looked at the figure in the seat.

"We are the leader in shipbuilding in Yangzhou, and we have many skilled craftsmen under our hands. Are we going to show us well now to pave the way for us in the future?"

Zheng Yuan smiled, staring at the various wooden boat models floating in the pond in front of him, and muttered.

"Paving the way? Whether it's an enemy or a friend, we don't know yet."

"If Tang Hao took over General Yan's navy, wouldn't it be that General Yan's three years of hard work would give away all the cupped hands?"

"General Yan is kind to our Zheng family, and he definitely can't let Tang Hao succeed in this way."
