However, in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the middle period, there were really few conditions for the development of maritime transport.

First of all, the navigation technology is not developed enough!

As mentioned above, the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty was really not very good, and "maritime merchants" had become a term with the same meaning as "immortality".

The second is the general environment of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business".

At the beginning of each dynasty, the emperor will emphasize agriculture and suppress business, just to avoid the situation of "everyone is a business", and the profit from business is extremely heavy, and the thing "money" has an indescribable temptation for ordinary people.

But if everybody goes into business, then who farms? Who is a soldier?

Because of this, catalyzed by the social public opinion of all dynasties, the profession of "businessman" has become a business of "insulting ancestors".

Maritime merchants are also merchants, so if you want to develop maritime transportation, you need the support of maritime merchants, and you also need someone to be maritime merchants.

But who would risk public opinion and future generations not to be officials and wear silk and satin to become a maritime merchant?

Feng Ang saw that Leng Feng was bowing his head and pondering, so he waved his hand to let the maids all retreat, waiting for Leng Feng to finish thinking.

"The development of Lingnan must be combined with shipping, but the current ship will have to capsize if it can't go far." After pondering for a long time, Leng Feng said this.

Feng Ang nodded: "Then what should I do?" ”

Leng Feng scratched his head: "This is another dead knot, in my opinion, only the development of shipbuilding technology can promote the development of shipping, which requires a lot of time to accumulate, it is not something that you can worry about alone, the day when Lingnan really begins to prosper........."

Leng Feng pointed at Feng Zhidai: "It is estimated that only he can see it." ”

Feng Ang sighed, holding on to the last glimmer of hope and asked Leng Feng: "You know gunpowder weapons, medicine, and many principles of heaven and earth, do you also know how to build ships?" ”

Leng Feng laughed directly, he was a killer, and he was not from a shipyard, how could he know how to build a ship, especially a sea ship?

He can rely on some of the knowledge left in his mind to pretend to be very powerful, which is already very good, and when he picks up that knowledge, he is just an ordinary person like the old farmer pulling weeds in the field.

"You think too much, I'm not omniscient, but if a steam engine can be built, it can indeed be ........."

With the "steamboat" flatbread painted by Leng Feng, Feng Ang was a little relieved and beckoned Leng Feng to continue eating crabs.

It wasn't until the end of the welcome banquet that Leng Feng stepped back to the guest room in the night, and Feng Zhidai asked Feng An: "Father, does Duke Xi Guogong not know how to build a ship, or does he deliberately refuse?" ”

Feng Ang sighed: "He really doesn't know how to build a ship, his father has been in contact with him for so long, and he can even see the "artifact" of the imperial court such as gunpowder weapons, which shows that he is defenseless against his father." ”

Feng Zhidai knew that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Feng Ang pressed his itchy right hand, and suddenly said to Feng Zhidai: "You go and call your fourth brother, and from now on hand hand over the affairs of the family to him!" ”

Feng Zhidai was taken aback, how could he hear this as if his father wanted to "abolish the prince", and couldn't help but hesitate: "Father? ”

Feng Ang didn't notice his son's expression, and said while pressing his right hand to relieve the itch: "On the bank of the Weishui River, there is a Tianwen Academy, in addition to teaching people to read and count, it will also teach the knowledge of Xi Guogong in the future.

When his father was in Chang'an, he only cursoradically read the handwritten books written by the Duke of Xi Guo, and the most basic books were like seeing a mountain of learning blocked in front of him, and the steam engine he just said should be one of these learnings.

Although you are married, you are the most intelligent of the brothers. When the Duke of Xi returns to Chang'an, you will follow him and study in the Academy of Literature! Our ancestors have created such a big family business in Lingnan for us, and we can't just eat our old books so peacefully. As a father, he is old, so you need to learn! ”

After listening to his father's words, Feng Zhidai was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and said categorically: "Father, don't worry, if the child can't learn something, he will have no face to return to Lingnan!" ”

——— dividing line———

Back in the guest room, Liu Shuwen handed him a cool towel, Liu Shuwen is like this, she knows what Leng Feng needs, Lingnan is very hot, and it is really more comfortable to wipe your face with a cold towel than a warm towel.

Leng Feng took Liu Shuwen's hand: "You are pregnant with a child, don't do these things yourself, you should have a good rest." ”

Liu Shuwen said with a smile: "The maids sent by Mrs. Feng are clumsy, just do some rough work, it's better for me to serve you." ”

Listening to Liu Shuwen's high-sounding words, Leng Feng laughed in his heart, where are those maids clumsy, it is obvious that this little woman is jealous.

In Chang'an before, Leng Feng's daily life was also served by Liu Shuwen personally, and the maids who were married by the queen, even if they were the maids in the same room, Rou Ji, could only sweep the floor.

Now that he has arrived in Lingnan, the maids arranged by Feng Ang for him can be said to be beautiful, which makes Li Erniu and them drool, which will naturally arouse Liu Shuwen's vigilance.

In this dynasty, being a man is a great pleasure! With the help of Liu Shuwen to take off his clothes, Leng Feng went directly to the bed: "I won't wash my feet today, you can also come and go to bed early." ”

Liu Shuwen originally wanted to go to serve water, but when she heard Leng Feng say this, she blew out the candles, took off her clothes in a stumbling manner, and went into the bed.

Feeling the extra warm big hand on her stomach, Liu Shuwen couldn't help but grab it with both hands, and whispered to Leng Feng: "I'm pregnant with a child, don't come nonsense, if you really think about it......... Just find a beautiful concubine, I really can't do it. ”

Just kidding, how dare Leng Feng come nonsense at this time! As for finding a concubine.........

"Don't make a fuss, I told you that I will live with you in this life, and abstinence for a year is good for your health!"

Liu Shuwen pursed her lips in the dark: "I'm not Mrs. Fang, I don't know how to drink vinegar." ”

", I smell vinegar right now." Leng Feng touched Liu Shuwen's nose with his other hand and twisted it slightly.

Only then did Liu Shuwen press Leng Feng's hand to her lower abdomen.

Feeling Liu Shuwen's body temperature, Leng Feng said softly: "I should thank you." ”

“（｡ ò∀ó｡ ）！ Liu Shuwen turned her head and looked at Leng Feng through the faint starlight, she didn't know how Leng Feng could suddenly say such a sentence.

"The appearance of this little guy made me find the feeling of being really alive in Datang."

Liu Shuwen patted Leng Feng's arm: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Hurry up and go to sleep. That's right........."

Liu Shuwen suddenly said in a coquettish tone: "There is no war now, you can accompany me to the river tomorrow to play, the Turkish girls here sing beautifully." ”
