Chapter 178: Picking Flowers

Feng Jingting looked at Dong Dafang with complaining eyes, and saw Dong Dafang goosebumps all over the ground, and then quickly understood from the spiritual level how cruel it was to separate a pair of loving broken sleeves. So www.biquge.info after two days of freedom, they lived again. I was taken to the same room with my luggage, and I looked like I was going to live a good life.

Guo Wenying's resistance was ineffective, and she was forcibly pushed to Feng Jingting's room, and at this time, looking at Feng Jingting's slightly intentional face, she really wanted to bite on it.

She tried to reason, "Master, we don't live in the same room, and we can also reflect the life of broken sleeves of loving each other." ”

Feng Jingting smiled, "Then how can it be done, you are the master's person, the master is used to hugging you, if you don't hug you at night, the master can't sleep." ”

Guo Wenying: "...... "Ye Laozi, without me before, you wouldn't sleep together?"

At this moment, she gave up struggling, because struggling was useless, and she didn't bother to be reasonable, reasoning with an unreasonable person would be blind to everything. However, she carried a knife by her side every day, and if he dared to do anything wrong to her, he would immediately cut him first, and then wipe his neck.

In this way, Feng Jingting didn't dare to make a mistake, he just honestly hugged her to sleep every day, although he still held a gun against her in the morning, but he never went too far, and he didn't dare to touch that thing with her hand.

There were also many officers and soldiers of the state capital along the way, holding the image of the avatar and comparing it with pedestrians one by one, saying that they wanted to arrest the court for violation, except for the invasion of not wearing a crown and wearing a python robe, the rest were seven or eight points similar to Feng Jingting. It is said that he is a famous picking/flower/thief, and the government also issued a list of articles, so that those who have beautiful girls in the family can reduce the number of times they go out.

Guo Wenying agrees with this very much, Feng Jingting was originally a flower thief, a super ruffian, drooling at her when he saw the sky, and did not hide his dirty thoughts at all, which was no different from a flower thief. The difference is that he only likes her unlucky little flower.

However, this list is very interesting, not to mention its authenticity, but as far as the state capital and county government dare to publish the list like this, it is obvious that they did not take the prince of Qincha in their eyes. It can also be seen from this how rampant Jiang Taiping's power has become.

Fortunately, with Dong Dafang's convoy escorting, they can pass safely every time they pass through the customs, and they have added a little bit of disguise, and they have not been caught as pickers/flowers/thieves for a while.

Two days later, they finally arrived at Beitan.

Bei Tan City is close to the sea, only a dozen miles away from the sea, this place is sparsely populated, if it is not for Dong Dafang to lead the way, it is really difficult to imagine that there will be such a large boat yard in this kind of place.

In the period of the previous dynasties, there were many shipyards in various places, and the boats built not only had many types and large volumes, but also had many advantages such as advanced technology, solid structure, large capacity, fast shipping, safety and reliability, and enjoyed a high reputation. Foreign merchants travelled between Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean, and they were happy to ride the ships built by the former dynasties, and praised the shipwrights in the language of "the most advanced shipbuilders in the world."

However, in today's dynasty, the Southern Qi Dynasty does not pay attention to shipping, and because of the many pirates on the sea, they have harassed the border many times, so the imperial court issued a ban on the sea, "not a single piece of wood can go to the sea". Because of this, many large shipyards have closed down, and the original prevalent skills such as building five-masted warships, six-masted ships, seven-masted grain ships, eight-masted horse ships, and nine-masted treasure ships have not been many craftsmen, and some techniques have been lost.

For example, the largest Qingjiang shipyard in the former dynasty, there are four headquarters, 82 branches, and more than 3,000 craftsmen, and the scale is very considerable. At the same time, there is a supporting handicraft workshop, processing parts such as sail canopies, ropes, and nails, as well as warehouses for storing wood, paulownia lacquer, and hemp. At that time, there was also a strict management system for the acceptance of shipbuilding materials, as well as the repair and delivery of ships.

In the previous dynasty, there was a very famous eunuch who went to sea, and his fleet used the treasure ship of the Qingjiang Shipyard, which was 44 zhang long and 18 zhang wide. In the fleet, even the medium ships were 37 zhang long and 15 zhang wide. One eyewitness described the treasure ship as "majestic, unrivaled, with sails and rudders, and no two or three hundred people could move." Others say that there are as many as 12 sails on board. These represented the pinnacle of shipbuilding at that time.

The advanced navigation and shipbuilding techniques of the time included watertight compartments, compasses, logging, probes, stellar plates, as well as the recording of routes and the drawing of nautical charts. It's a pity that time has passed, and even half of the technology left to future generations is not left, but in just fifty or sixty years, shipbuilding has regressed a lot, not only can not rebuild that kind of magnificent ship, but even ordinary medium-sized ships want to go to sea is not easy.

Dong Dafang took them to visit the shipyard and introduced them all the way, saying that the shipyard was mainly for building three kinds of ships.

One is a sand boat.

The sand boat is the most famous representative of the square-headed, flat-bottomed boat. The history of the sand ship can be traced back to a distant era, its deck is spacious, the freeboard is low, it has the advantages of wide, large, flat and shallow, suitable for sailing in shallow waterways, and has good stability.

The other two are Fukufune and Hirofune.

Fu boats, as well as Guangzhou ships, are named after the place of origin, and are two types of ships that adapt to the geographical environment of the southern sea and deep islands in the southern Qi Dynasty. The head and tail are wide and the tail is warped, the tail seal structure is horseshoe-shaped, and the two sides are arched outward with guard plates. The side is reinforced with thick boards of folio logs, which has greater strength. The cabin is a watertight compartment structure, the bottom of the hull is pointed and wide, the pointed bottom is conducive to breaking waves, the draft is deep, the stability is good, and it is easy to turn the rudder to change the course, which is convenient for navigation in narrow channels and reefy channels. Some of the bow and stern cabins are live water tanks, also called buoyancy tanks or anti-sway tanks. As the bow and stern rise or fall, the water in the live water tank can flow out or in, reducing the rocking of the boat and maintaining the balance of the boat.

The timber used by Fuchuan is mainly taken from the pine, cedar, camphor, nan and other fine timber abundant in Fujian, which are mostly found in ports and coastal routes south of Hangzhou Bay.

The head of the ship type is long, the draft is deep, the beam arch is small, the deck back arc is not high, and it has good seaworthiness and large endurance. The transverse part of the hull structure is made up of close-space ribs and bulkheads. The timber used by the Guangzhou Ship is mostly litchi wood, camphor wood, and ebony wood from Guangdong, and it mainly sails in southern ports and South China Sea routes.

Guo Wenying listened to his introduction, but also saw with his own eyes this kind of three kinds of boats, at present the shipyard technology is limited, 44 zhang long, 18 zhang wide large ships can not be built, most of the boats built are small ships and medium ships, especially the Fu ship and the Guangzhou ship. In fact, if you want to talk about the big, in terms of the stability of the navigation, the sand boat is more dominant.

It also happened that Guo Wenying knew a lot about sand boats, so she explained the habits and characteristics of sand boats to the boatmen.
