Chapter 201 Kelongli

The food in the palace is actually very simple. The reception of foreign ministers is mainly based on speech.

During the banquet, Zhao Zhen found another peculiarity: "How can this lamp only see the light and fragrance, and not a little smoke?" ”

The official explained: "With this lamp, there is also a booklet, the name is strange, called "Wanshou Lantern Operation Manual", the book mentions that the fuel of the Wanshou Lantern is obtained by melting borneol with alcohol, which is different from ordinary fuel, not to mention the fragrant taste, after ignition, there is only water vapor, no smoke. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "Meishan? Alcohol? How much does this alcohol cost? How much does it cost to light this lamp in one night? ”

The internal official looked at Niangniang and didn't dare to speak.

Zhao Zhen put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

The internal official was so frightened that he knelt down: "Don't be angry, the minister is honest." Qi Qi official's house, every time this lamp is lit, it costs money...... Twenty-five ......"

Zhao Zhen suspected that something was wrong with his ears: "How much?!" ”

The official said: "One bottle of this thing, equivalent to two bottles of Yongchun dew, Yongchun dew is in Bianjing, a bottle of twelve runs, plus borneol ......"

The queen comforted: "Official, this is also the sincerity of the officials and people of Meishan. I've also read the manual, saying that it's alcohol, and if you don't use it, after a long time, you'll ...... What volatilizes off. That's why I had the audacity to call the shots and lit the lamp. Let the officials see that my Song Dynasty is elegant and the people are happy. This is also the official family's food and clothing, and benevolence and wide distribution, even if you can't get out of the palace, you can see it, it's comforting, isn't it? ”

Zhao Zhen was still a little uneasy: "It's too much money in the end, just this time, pass on the decree, and in the future, every five or ten days of the Wanshou Festival, Meishan can offer dipterocarp alcohol, this lamp, every big festival can be lit, and the rest of the time, it's still free." ”

Everyone in the hall bowed down together: "The official family is benevolent!" ”

……

Also in May, Xiao Gao Xianggong returned to Dali, passed through the door without entering, went directly to Jianchang Mansion, and the Erlin Department A Ho Lie from the north and south, launched the conquest and suppression of the business road bandits along the way.

In June, under strong pressure from the two armies, some bandits fled into the Shama tribe and killed three shamans who were spreading Protestantism in the Shama tribe, as well as several small tribesmen, in a very cruel manner.

The temple management team arrived at the scene and after analysis, it was determined that they had used a brutal human sacrifice ritual.

This move caused a collective condemnation from the Erlin Ministry, Dali, and the surrounding small tribes, and for some reason, the small tribes that were injured suddenly declared that those bandits were originally sent by the Shama Department to attack and harass the army of the Erlin Ministry.

In view of the fact that the Shama Department harbored the murderer and undermined the stability of the region, they decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and defect to the arms of the Erlin Department.

When Sha Ma Pizhi heard this, he was furious and sent troops to suppress it, causing casualties to a small tribe.

The situation gradually expanded, the Erlin Department, Yazhou Zhizhou, Meizhou Zhizhou, and finally Zhang Fangping, a straight bachelor, went to the court to accuse the Shama Department of rebellion and barbarism.

I don't report it.

In July, Ah Ho Chizun received a letter from the great witch Su Mingrun, which listed ten major sins, such as the sacrifice of people in the Shama tribe, plundering friends and neighbors, killing sorcerers, blocking trade routes, fooling the people, heavy slaughter, and greed for pleasure, and called on all tribes to resist together.

As soon as the text arrived, the tribes suddenly heard about the situation and joined the ranks of the big households.

In August, the Shama tribe was annexed by the Erlin tribe, and a large tribal alliance was formed that occupied an area equal to that of Jianchang Province, and Ah Holie emerged from the battle as the best military leader between the Great Song and Dali.

With the addition of high manganese steel, the speed of the progress and end of this battle made everyone around see the true strength of the Erlin Department.

After Ah Holie killed Shama Pizhi on the battlefield, he took out the second fatwa of the Great Witch, and only punished the evil remnants, the people of the Shama Department were innocent, and they were fooled by the upper nobles, and soon the Erlin Department would count the assets of the nobles of the Shama Department, relieve the civilians, and distribute materials. The large and small parts of the sand and linen have their own parts, just wait for the wizards to enter.

When the harvest was abundant, the grain was beaten down, and the original jurisdiction of the Shama Department quickly stabilized.

Xiao Gao Xianggong returned to Dali with a full amount of martial arts, including the edict of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the heads of hundreds of bandits that were not needed by the Second Forest Department.

The lord of Dali is below, and he greets the suburbs at the city gate.

In September, the Dali branch of Sitong trade was established in Shanxian Mansion and Jianchang Mansion.

Engineering teams, survey teams began to be sent out, looking for mineral deposits in the Anning River Valley.

……

On the glass river, from April, there are many more strange little things.

It is said that it is called a windsurfing board.

A hollow fish-shaped plank with a fin in the middle at the bottom and a jack at the top for a triangular sail.

The babies of the Land Temple are proficient in water, and with this toy, after the school is suspended at the end of the day, they vent their excessive energy to this.

In the middle of the small windsurfing board, there is often a white dinghy with two sails on the upper side, a triangular sail in front and a tall mast behind it, under which is a longitudinal sail.

In later generations, Su You was a mainlander, and he had never played sailing, but he had never eaten pork, and he had always seen pigs running.

After drawing a plausible sketch of a small sailboat, he called the Wu boat merchant on the dock and the ship boss of the Erlin warship to ponder the structure of the small sailboat together.

The design of the keel and watertight cabin has been unanimously approved by the wealthy merchants and the ship boss.

Then the design of the ship type has also been praised by the wealthy businessmen, saying that the Middle Earth sailing ship has been built in imitation of the body shape of the waterfowl since ancient times, and the underwater part of the ship is the same as the Dawu ship - round bottom, the widest part is behind the center, which is very reasonable.

However, the mast is a little high, and the ship is small and the sail is large, which tests the handling skills, and there is a risk of capsizing, and the weight of the ballast must be properly designed.

The boss of the second forest ship pointed out that the ship must be operated well, and the rudder must be very flexible in order to easily cut the wind.

Su You are very happy, both of them are experts, you just need to consider the ship type, cabin configuration, mast height, ballast counterweight, etc., as for the operation problem to me, we try to use machinery to solve.

Soon the hull model of more than one meter long was designed, and it was taken to the Kelongli canal for fluid testing, and the performance was quite stable.

In order to get better steering performance, Su You designed a large rudder, which turned out to be difficult to handle.

Su Xiaomei was very jealous of the boys' enthusiasm for experiments, and she didn't want to come up with ideas, because girls couldn't swim in the river, and they didn't have a part in the design of sailboats.

Seeing that Brother Xiaoyou had been distressed for several days, he was really distressed, so he told Su You that he could design another auxiliary rudder in the belly of the ship, which could not only control the direction, but also play the role of stabilizing the fin under the sailing board, greatly increasing the lateral resistance of the hull.

Then, the steering problem was solved.

A group of boys, you look at me, I look at you, or, let the girls also participate in the design, right?

Su Xiaomei held the scroll, her beautiful chin was upturned, hum, it's not rare, it's stupid!

The rest is simple, there are ready-made styles on galleons.

The sails are composed of linen and transoms.

In order to resist the wind, reinforcing strips and reinforcing cloth blocks were also added to the canvas.

All that remains are the masts, main ropes, front ropes, rear horn cables, halyards, front horns, cable-stayed devices, winches, rope clamps, brass horns and other accessories.

The sailing ship was named Kelongli, with Meishan weights and measures, a length of three meters and a half, and the first sea trials began at the end of May.

Su You was the sailor, and Zhang San was the helmsman.

Meishan Wharf is crowded with people, all to see this strange boat launched.

Then, when it was launched, the sailboat was knocked over by the strong wind within fifty meters.

Cheng Wenying was accustomed to Su You's words and his actions were perfect, he never thought that this was an accident, and stabbed Shi Dongxiu: "Old history, what kind of boat is this?" ”

Shi Dongxiu also felt strange: "This is too strange, the sail can sail against the water?" Is it the use of water power? I've never heard of it......"

But a boatman from other places who was watching the excitement next to him said: "I'm afraid this is not capsizing!" ”

"Oops, it should have capsized!" Cheng Wenying was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "Hurry up, go into the water to catch people!" ”

In fact, there is no need to save it, Su You Zhang San is a good swimmer, and he quickly swam to the shore, and the sailboat was also dragged back by the big boat that had been prepared a long time ago.

By the time Su You swam back to the shore, Zhang Shudu had already rushed over from the county office: "Mingrun, Mingrun, can you just stop?" I'm stressed out like you......"
