Chapter 1385 Mission

  Chu Jin and Chu Zhang read the book about sailing seriously.

  It contains everything about shipbuilding, navigation, etc.

  Chu Zhang has never read these books. He has already wasted all his efforts to prepare for the imperial examination, so he has no energy to read other books.

   Now that he has an opportunity, he naturally will not let it go.

   "Brother Jin, it is written in this book that a sea-going ship with a hull of at least 5,000 tons can really be built?" Seeing that he was not busy, Chu Zhang asked.

  Chu Jin nodded: "It can be made naturally. You see, there are specific principles in it, but the actual operation needs to be done by a craftsman."

  Chu Zhang looked at it and rubbed his hands: "I have learned carpentry from my father before. Although I have never made such a large piece, I also know that it is only a word of balance."

  Chu Jin was a little pleasantly surprised: "Brother Zhang, do you really know how to do carpentry? I thought you had already gone to school."

  He saw Chu Zhang's efforts in studying, so he said this.

   "Yes, when I was young, my parents were worried that we would not be able to do a job in the future, so they learned carpentry for several years, but they didn't do it in the past two years." Chu Zhang explained.

   "Second brother, then I really need your help." Chu Jin grabbed his arm with bright eyes, not to mention how excited he was.

   "What's the matter, you just say it, I can do it, I will do it well." Chu Zhang honestly said.

Chu Jin patted him on the shoulder: "This matter is also simple. You follow me to meet those shipbuilders. I will send you in to study. I hope you can find the shortcomings of the existing ships within half a month. , and then improve it.”

"This..." Chu Zhang didn't expect that Chu Jin would arrange such a difficult task for himself as soon as he came up. He hesitated for a while, scratched his head, and said honestly: "Xiao Jin, I'm stupid, I don't know if I can finish it, if it doesn't delay you I'll give it a try, if it's delayed, how about you find someone else?"

   "Brother Zhang, I didn't say this casually. I came to you because I believed you could do it." Chu Jin was more confident than Chu Zhang.

  Chu Zhang didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

   "Then, let me try?"

   "Come on, Brother Zhang, take these books and read them. They should be helpful to you. My suggestion is that you'd better read them as soon as possible, so that you can learn faster when you go to the shipyard."

  Chu Zhang nodded, holding more than a dozen books, went to the side, and actually read them.

  It took three days to go to Hangzhou by water.

  In the past three days, Chu Zhang read the book all the time, and the notes he wrote alone are enough to make another book.

  When disembarking, someone took the luggage down first. ""

  When Chu Lin came over, Chu Zhang was still forgetting to eat and sleep.

   "Zhang'er, this is you, don't be so anxious, you have to combine work and rest on weekdays." Chu Lin said with concern.

  Chu Zhang raised his head from the book. Seeing that he was an elder, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Thank you for your concern, uncle. It's just that I'm stupid, so I can't help but work harder."

   "Don't worry, I will take a good rest."

   "Well, let's go, we're here, you pack your luggage and get off the boat together." Chu Lin nodded, and after giving instructions, he turned and left the room.

  Chu Zhang hurriedly packed the books and the notes he made into the book box, and carried them in his own hands, while the other luggage was carried by the servants.

  Chu Jin stood on the sail, with his hands behind his back. The little boy already had a menacing aura. Seeing him coming, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, why are you holding the bookcase yourself?"
