This is a bay hidden in the reef and thorns and barren grass, in fact, it is in the Jiaozhou Bay of later generations, the area is not too large, but the sea and the nearby beach are full of thick logs, these are cut down from Langya and Laoshan under the emperor's decree, the number is enough to thousands, the largest diameter is more than two meters, the length is more than 20 zhang, and the smallest has the thickness of the waist, and to cut down these logs, it has used tens of thousands of people in the entire Qi County, but now it is discarded here like a waste material. Much of the wood was soaked in the water, and some of it had turned black and began to rot.

There are also many wooden houses near the beach, which have long since fallen under the erosion of violent wind and rain, and most of them have collapsed.

There are also several dockyards here, where sea boats were supposed to have been built, but now they are in an abandoned state, and the dock gates have long been washed away by the waves, and even the docks have been mostly blocked by mud and sand.

Therefore, after Chen Xu arrived, what he saw was a messy state of barren grass and thorns.

"Master Hou, this was originally a shipyard, but it was abandoned because it was not convenient to transport goods in and out, and several sea ships used by those monks to go to sea in the past three years were built here!" The Langya County Commander who accompanied him carefully explained.

"Yes, this place is hidden enough, arrange people to repair the shed and dock as soon as possible, all kinds of tools and materials to build a big ship can be prepared as soon as possible, you can start sawing wood first, don't be afraid to spend money, tell all the craftsmen and people, you can settle the wages by the day, ordinary people are twenty dollars a day, apprentices are thirty dollars a day, craftsmen are fifty dollars a day, the time limit is forty days, and each person will be sent an extra fifty dollars one day in advance...... everything here is temporarily responsible for Cao Shen, and please cooperate closely with the Kang County Order, Go and call the best craftsmen here! ”

Chen Xu made a series of arrangements, and soon a few soldiers brought over a few old craftsmen with dark clothes and gray hair, and their hands were covered with thick calluses, and they looked like skilled craftsmen who had been building sea ships for many years.

"You guys come with me!" Chen Xu walked into a shed near the beach with relatively intact walls but no roof, squatted on the ground and spread out a few sailboat drawings he had brought and began to introduce them.

Chen Xu said that a group of old craftsmen were still pouting and constantly asking questions, although Chen Xu did not know the structure of the sailboat, let alone the specific method, but after all, he was well-informed, although he had never eaten pork but had seen pigs run, and this kind of thing could be roughly said very clearly, at least in appearance.

In later generations, there was a very famous movie called "Pirates of the Caribbean", and Chen Xu had watched almost every episode more than twice, so he drew these drawings according to the gourd painting scoop.

"The structure of the pointed bottom can make the wooden boat draught deeper, so that part of it sinks into the water, it can be more stable in the wind and waves, the current sea ships are all flat bottoms, like a plank floating on the sea, it is very bumpy in the driving, and it is easy to capsize when encountering crosswinds and lateral waves, the pointed structure can more easily push away the waves, so that the travel is faster, as for the sail is the key, the big ship I designed has a main sail, a foresail and a side sail, and in order to support these sails, a mast several feet high must be erected on the ship, These masts must be very strong and strong, so the keel of this sailboat needs to be more stable and strong than that of a flat-bottomed boat...... There is also this rudder, which relies on the rotation of the steering wheel and uses ropes and connecting rods to control the tail rudder, so that it can react easily and quickly from the bow of the ship, without having to delay the transmission of messages back and forth from the subcompartment......"

As Chen Xu continued to explain, a group of old craftsmen also began to look sluggish one by one, and then looked excited, and then their eyes lit up, looking at Chen Xu like hungry wolves.

This young little Langjun doesn't know where it came from, why there is such a whimsical idea, the sail is not to say, although the role is not known how big it is, but this rudder is definitely a whimsical stroke of genius, and it is not too difficult to make, at present, Daqin's sea ship technology is very mature, and it can be easily made out of a very complex structure, the tail rudder is pulled by a huge rudder rod with a boatman, in fact, the principle is similar to that of an ordinary boat, but it is an enlarged version, If the rudder is changed, semi-mechanical control can be achieved with either a rope winch or a coupling rod.

(Note: about the history of Chinese sailboats, some people say that it originated in the Warring States Period, but there is no historical record, Xu Fudong crossed the sea This is the earliest well-documented navigation event in China, but there is no mention of sailboats, the earliest record of sailing ships is the Three Kingdoms period of the "Nanzhou Yizhilu", this book is said to be the Three Kingdoms period of Wu Danyang Taishou Wan Zhen wrote, the record is Guangdong and Hainan Zhudi scenery, mentioned sailboats, but this work has long been lost, until after the Northern and Southern Dynasties slowly recorded, the later Sui book, According to speculation, the earliest appearance of Chinese sailing ships will not be earlier than the Western Han Dynasty, and began to develop in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the large-scale application began during the Three Kingdoms period, which really flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and flourished in the Ming Dynasty when Zheng He went to the West, and then the sailing technology of China and the West began to integrate, and the Westerners adopted the hard sail technology of the East, which improved the impedance and borrowing function of the wind, which also opened the era of global navigation. During the Qing Dynasty, the scenes of thousands of sails gathering in Guangzhou and Fuzhou to cover the sky and the sun became the last glory, and Westerners soon invented steam turbines and began to build steel ships, and seafaring sailing ships also declined. ）

It took Chen Xu an hour to carefully explain several exterior drawings, sections, sails, steering wheels, ramming angles, gun muzzles, shooting holes and other structures.

"You are all old craftsmen who build sea ships, naturally experienced, I want to build this big ship must be at least 20 zhang long, because there is no need to arrange the oars, so it can be made more closed and strong, and in order to prevent the bottom of the ship from breaking and leaking, the bottom bilge must be divided into many sealed independent cabins, so that even if there is a leak in the place, it will not cause the shipwreck......"

Chen Xu reminded this group of craftsmen according to some of his own ideas.

"Haven't you had a watertight cabin, a provincial one, Xiao Langjun can rest assured, all ships on the sea have watertight cabins...... a group of craftsmen nodded again and again.

"That's good, these drawings are left for you to study carefully, especially pay attention to the keel and mast must be strong, don't be afraid to spend money, after this ship is built, I will reward you each with three thousand dollars alone......"

"Three thousand coins...... a group of craftsmen exclaimed, their dark faces dripping blood with excitement.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and this money bag that suddenly fell from the sky smashed a group of craftsmen into a daze and couldn't find the north.

Seeing that a group of craftsmen continued to quarrel around the drawings, Chen Xu walked out of the wooden shed and summoned Cao Shen over to carefully advise him again, Cao Shen was naturally overjoyed.

Originally, Chen Xu was fooled from Peixian County and was ready to follow him to Xianyang for development, but now that he already knows Chen Xu's true identity, he is naturally ready to follow Chen Xu.

There are two people who all aspirants in the world want to take refuge in the world at the moment, the first one is naturally Qin Dada, the biggest boss of Daqin, but Qin Dada's two thighs are currently full of people, and there is basically no chance to climb up with his thighs.

And the second one who wants to take refuge most is naturally Qinghehou.

Qinghe Hou is the newly rising Hou Ye, and he is also a disciple of the Immortal Family, this identity alone is enough to make the world crazy, but unfortunately it is impossible for no one to introduce him, but now the opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him, and several of their Pei County officials were actually taken by Qinghe Hou, which was naturally an opportunity to ascend to the sky.

At present, Xiao He and Liu Bang were arranged to go to Guanzhong to fight the situation of the Xiang and Ji brothers, and Cao Shen was still a little apprehensive and lost, but he was immediately assigned an important task.

Shipbuilding Cao Shen didn't understand, but he knew that this was Chen Xu's intention to deal with Huangshi Gong in case he rebelled, and the purpose of this big ship was to successfully pick up Concubine Hou, so the significance of this ship was more important in Chen Xu's heart than the person who assassinated him.

After all, the Xiang and Ji brothers want to assassinate Chen Xu is just an idea, once the news is known, Chen Xu can have countless ways to avoid trouble, the easiest is to arrest the Xiang and Ji brothers in advance, as the most favored marquis of the emperor, Chen Xu only needs one sentence, the emperor will inevitably exterminate the Xiang and Ji families in the world.

But this ship is different, this is what Chen Xu is most concerned about at the moment, they followed Chen Xu to the big ship of Huangshi Gong yesterday, and they all heard Chen Xu confide in the water softly, that kind of unforgettable feeling, even they were deeply moved by the gangsters who didn't care much about women.

I have long heard that the Marquis of Qinghe favors his wife to be the first in the world, and he can't be better with a few wives and concubines, and yesterday they finally experienced the legendary situation, that sentence that tens of millions of people in the world are not as good as you, is enough to let everyone in the world know the status of the Hou Concubine Shui in the mind of the Marquis of Qinghe.

Now that everything is arranged, Chen Xu can only wait patiently.

Huang Shigong can't go to sea without a new big ship, but Chen Xu can't rush to save the water gently.

A month is not long, but for Chen Xu, every day is like suffering.

He was afraid that there would be any accidents in the gentle water, so he had to go to the shipyard almost every day to inspect and check, and Jiang Chuxing brought back a full 500,000 yuan of vouchers and coins, and every day Cao Shen used a big basket to pay wages to all the craftsmen and workers, and in order to rush the work, hundreds of craftsmen, shipwrights, people and overseers of the soldiers were like chicken blood, and a few people carried huge trees the thickness of buckets and ran faster than rabbits, and the sound of the whole construction site was one after another, and the sound of axes and saws was tinkling all day long, and it was a busy mess.

Under the careful care of the doctors, Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin have recovered a lot, although the internal injuries are not completely healed, and the martial arts are not one in ten, they were injured by Huang Shigong twice in a row, and they soaked in the sea for a day and a night under the superposition of injuries, and it was already a blessing to be able to pick up a small life, and because the water was gentle and did not come back, Yu Wuya was also very ashamed and lost, and almost all day long hid in the foothouse to meditate and practice to recover his body, only to wait until the big boat was built to pick up the water gently.

Xia Zijin also felt a little embarrassed, when he accepted Chen Xu's commission, he went out to look for Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou in high spirits, but he didn't want to meet an opponent like Huang Shigong when he walked down the mountain for the first time, if it wasn't for Chen Xu, she would definitely die in the sea this time, this experience hit her harder than Yu Wuya, so she also hid with Yu Wuya all day long to practice, so for more than ten days in a row, the relationship between the two was a little like glue, Chen Xu often went in and saw the two of them touching and pinching together, If you say something inside a big idiot, you're almost undressed and fighting.

Chen Xu was sincerely happy that a straight man like Yu Wuya could find a special breed that liked to beat him to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen and he was never tired of it.

Although Gai Nie was also rescued, because the injury was too serious, although he had not lost his breath, his condition was getting better and worse, and he never woke up, so Chen Xu had to let people arrange him in a medical hall in Langya County for a few doctors to take care of him, and feed him some rice porridge and decoction every day.

Because Chen Xu was too busy and didn't have time to visit, Yu Wuya went to see it in two or three days, but every time he came back, he was depressed and sighed and shook his head, looking at the situation was very bad, but Chen Xu couldn't help it, such a serious injury can be regarded as an eye-opener, whether he can survive depends on his luck.
