Jiaozhou Port.
A huge sailboat more than ten meters high was moored at the pier, colorful flags were hung everywhere, and piles of linen bags were carried onto the deck by porters, crowded with people. Compared with this big ship, the rest of the merchant ships at anchor are like tigers, leopards and jackals, naturally a head shorter.
?Since it entered July, and the seaway going south has become a scene of Zhupolong, it is rare to see such a big boat sailing.
The boat that Chen Yuewu lent to Li Yan was more than thirty feet long and ten feet wide, and it required more than fifty oars. The combined weight of the sails, anchors, and rudders on the boat could not be moved without a hundred people. .
With such a ship alone, Chen Yuewu can order four of them! There are no less than a thousand sailors and sailors in Shandong who rely on the Chen family to eat together!
Li Yan stood on the boat, and Chen Yuewu pointed to the huge sail with black dragon patterns, and explained to him: "The last time I went out on the boat, it was under the order of the government to go south to Hangzhou to deposit 200,000 bolts of pine cotton cloth into Beijing. Last time, it was to collect silver payment from the Portuguese for purchasing porcelain and tea leaves. Ships like this don¡¯t move on weekdays.¡±
As early as the year of Chengzu, the government had strict regulations on the size of private ships. Even if they were only an extra sail or an inch taller, they would be punished. If it was serious, they would even be punished for treason.
Therefore, Chen Yuewu was able to build and sail these ships under the name of Shandong Maritime Safety Administration. Normally, unless there is a warrant from the government, even the Chen family cannot call it privately.
Li Yan looked at the big boat, and suddenly asked: "Master Chen, is this boat built by your family?"
Chen Yuewu shook his head: "It was supervised by Master Xu Baoguang from Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration, but it was not a waste of official money, but a villain's wealth."
Li Yan couldn't help sighing: "I underestimated Mr. Chen a few days ago. With such a family business, Mr. Chen, you don't need me, a small military officer, to teach you how to deal with the government."
Chen Yuewu waved his hands straight after hearing this: "The little people are terrified. After all, any family property is saved for the government. If the national treasure is moved in the future and the lives of my family can be saved, I will be satisfied."
If Chen Yuewu was born in the free, bloody and corrupt land of Nanyang, his fate is still unknown. But in the Ming Dynasty, which can be called Zhongxing, Chen Yuewu, the king of the sea, can be considered to have made it, and he would never dare to go one step further.
Li Yan didn't answer Chen Yuewu's words.
"Don't mention these. Speaking of which, isn't this boat too big? I can only accompany three people, so there is really no need to be so extravagant."
Chen Yuewu shook his head: "I don't know, my lord, the pigs and dragons of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang pirates all have the ability to call the wind and the rain. Ordinary ships will destroy them if they are hit by wind and waves. It must be a big ship, and then hang the official flag and use it The artillery fires to scare them off, so we can get through safely."
Li Yan was noncommittal, but just nodded: "Old man, you are an expert, so I won't play tricks."
The two were talking, when a crisp voice came in.
The person speaking was a small girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a green sharkskin felt hat and cowhide pointed boots.
With wheat-colored facial features and piercing eyes, she carried a blue cloth package in her hand, revealing a piece of wood inside.
"Father, everything is ready."
This is Chen Yuewu's youngest daughter, named Chen Jiao. Chen Yuewu has four sons and three daughters, two of whom died young. The people who accompanied Li Yan and others to sea this time, besides Chen Yuewu himself, were his youngest son Chen Le and youngest daughter Chen Jiao.
"Put down the things, and greet Lord Zhenfu first."
Chen Yuewu had a sullen face.
Chen Jiao snorted, put down the package hastily, and clasped her fists together: "Chen Jiao, the daughter of the people, I have met Lord Zhen Fu."
Li Yan responded, and pointed to the package on the ground: "What is this?"
Chen Jiao replied indifferently: "This is the star-leading board that my mother gave me, and I will use it on the road."
"A star-leading board?"
Li Yan asked curiously.
Chen Yuewu hurriedly replied from the side: "It's a technology called Beidou Astrology, which can identify the direction at sea. It's just a trivial skill that's not worth mentioning."
After hearing this, Li Yan remembered that although he listened to the advice of the yamen and recruited people from the Chen family to take him to sea, he really didn't know what Chen Yuewu was capable of.
He is known as the Three Great Miracles, and he can't just rely on a picture of Guanyin looking at the sea to encounter so many bizarre adventures at sea and escape unscathed.

"I've heard people say that when the Sanbao eunuch went to the West, he relied on a strange magic to break the waves. It was an honor to meet a real person today."
Li Yan stared at the blue cloth package for a while, and was thinking about how to say something to Chen Yuewu.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuewu was the first to speak: "I myself have compiled the essence of the star-stretching technique into a book. If Master Zhenfu is interested, I will copy it down and give a copy to Master Zhenfu?"
Chen Yuewu was so generous, Li Yan felt a little embarrassed: "This won't break the old man's rules, after all, it's your housekeeping skill."
Chen Yuewu laughed loudly: "Could Lord Zhenfu still compete with me for a job? As long as it doesn't spread, it's fine, and it's okay if it spreads. I am younger, and I also exchange experience with some navigators in the West. At this age, I I have long since lost the idea of ??cherishing my own broom, but this thing is just my whim after all, enough for use, but not necessarily good for it.¡±
As he said that, he actually ordered Chen Jiao to take his share of the essence of astronomy that he had sorted out and give it to Li Zhenfu.
Although "Big Dipper Astrology" may not bring any substantial benefits to Li Yan, it may not even be suitable for him. But Li Yan thought that he didn't force Chen Yuewu to go to sea by mistake, and didn't accept the gemstone he gave him, so he got this gift today, but he also thinks that this karma is worth pondering.
Not long after, Chen Jiao brought a blue leather thread-bound book bound into a volume, about a finger thick
[Rare specialization: Beidou Astrology]: The technique of determining the ship's position and sailing direction by using the position of the stars in the sky and the angular height of the sea level.

After seeing it, Li Yan thought about it, and suddenly looked at Chen Yuewu eagerly.
