"You look happy! Is there some good news you want to share with me?" Seeing Qin Ming's smile, Lu Lin was intrigued.
"Your Lordship, I've learned swimming, and I found out that I'm not seasick."
Lu Lin blinked and said, "Really? You are very efficient!"
Qin Ming looked at Lu Lin curiously and said, "Your Lordship, then..."
Lu Lin held his chin and said, "If you have a way to make that group of fishermen listen to you, then of course you will be the captain."
Qin Ming nodded and said, "Well, I will work hard."
Lu Lin took out a flag.
"Your Lordship, what is this?"
Lu Lin put on a smug smile, "This is the carp flag, I asked someone to paint it for us, carp means good luck, have you heard of the saying 'Carp jumps over the dragon gate'? Anyone who joins our fleet can have a carp flag on their boat, which is easy for us to recognize."
Qin Ming nodded, "It makes sense! Your Lordship, you're so smart, I was thinking that how am I going to tell which boats belong to our fleet considering all boats look alike."
Lu Lin smiled smugly, "Way ahead of ya."
Qin Ming shook the flag and thought to himself, 'This flag is really beautiful! The fabric is thick yet soft, the carp looks vivid!"
......
Lu Lin built a row of two-story buildings by the lake. There were 12 rooms in each building. People who were willing to join his fleet and hand in certain amount of fish to him were qualified to love in the building.
Many fishers were tempted, but not a lot of them took actions.
"Lin, are you going to make a big ship?" Chen Xiao Mi walked into the house.
Lu Lin nodded, "Yeah, you heard about it? Come have a look at the sketch."
"A huge ship it is!" Chen Xiao Mi looked at the sketch and exclaimed.
Lu Lin nodded, "Yeah! In the future, if our fleet is big enough, we will need a pilot ship that leads the way!"
Chen Xiao Mi nodded and said, "Awesome."
"How many fishers have joined?" asked Lu Lin.
"There are already eight families. The bunk beds you asked the craftsmen to build are now on the way to the dormitory."
Lu Lin called the building built by the sea a dormitory, but no one knew what the dormitory was. They called the two buildings the fisherman's temporary residence.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "That's very efficient, hopefully the fishermen like them."
Chen Xiao Mi nodded and said, "I think they will, those beds are very practical!"
Lu Lin held his chin and thought, "Bunk beds is one of the greatest inventions to save space and rent!"
......
In the fisherman's dormitory.
"Father, I'll sleep on the upper bed," Han Xiao Zhou looked very interested in the upper bed.
Han Feng glanced at Han Xiao Zhou and said, "Are you sure? What if you keep rolling and fall down? I think we better let me take the upper bed."
Han Xiao blinked and said, "Father, I'll pay attention to it. You're too heavy, taking the upper bed isn't a good idea."
Han Feng glared at Han Xiao Zhou and scolded, "You little brat, who is heavy?"
Han Xiao Zhou climbed to the upper bed and lay down excitedly. "Don't worry, father, the upper bed isn't that high, I won't hurt myself."
Seeing how excited Han Xiao Zhou was, Han Feng decided to let it go.
"Father, will we stay in this building now?"
Han Feng touched Han Xiao Zhou's forehead and said, "I hope so."
Qin Ming said that His Lordship was serious about building a fleet, Han Feng was determined to work hard and earn a spot in the dormitory building.
Han Xiao Zhou said excitedly, "That's great."
The fishermen's children always yearned for a normal lifestyle, Han Xiao Zhou was so looking forward to a new chapter in life.
Han Feng sighed and said, "This is just a temporary place to stay. It's still difficult to have our own place. But I will definitely work hard and stand out in the fleet, Qin Ming said that there is a chance to own this dormitory if I perform well."
