Wang Xuance saw the businessmen walking away, so he stepped forward and said: "Fang Xiang, Wei Gong, the place to stay has already been prepared, you two have traveled a long distance and are tired, you might as well go and rest first, and wait until Pei Changshi returns in the evening, and set up a banquet for the two of you to catch the wind and wash the dust." ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "It's not tiring to take a boat down the river this way." He glanced at Li Jing and said, "I am surprised now, and I am eager to see this lighthouse worth 600,000 yuan, I wonder if Wei Gong is with me?" ”

Li Jing smiled: "Isn't it just that you are surprised? The old man almost scratched his heart with a hundred claws, and when he thought of the number of 600,000 yuan, he was simply shocked by Ling Lang! Let's go around, if you don't see this so-called lighthouse, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight! ”

Fang Xuanling said politely to Wang Xuance: "In this way, I bother Brother Wang to guide us in the way." ”

Wang Xuance hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, you can just call the humble name...... The big ship they were on was not suitable for going to sea, so they waited for a while and waited for a warship to come over. ”

Fang Xuanling and Li Jing were as good as flowing, so they stood on the dock, looking curiously at the busy businessmen around them, while waiting for Wang Xuance to personally dispatch the warship.

Li Jing said with a smile: "That Erlang of your family, the ability to buy people's hearts is really not small. Just now, this Wang Xuance would rather let the two businessmen reprimand the two of us than stop them without saying a word, which shows that Xuanling's words have made this person unhappy. Hehe, even if you don't hesitate to offend you, the father of Zaisuke, you have to defend your son, it's really loyal. This person has a bit of a military style, not like the slick and sophisticated officialdom, very good. ”

The army has its own system, and the subordinates are absolutely loyal to their superiors, which is completely different from the officialdom where there are left and right, hello, hello, everyone.

Therefore, it is said that "scholars rebel for ten years", and military generals rebel, there will always be a group of cronies who swear to die......

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "This son is a distant relative of the Taiyuan Wang family, and he has always been untreated by the family. ”

As he was chatting, he saw a huge warship with a sharp bottom coming upstream, Wang Xuance stood at the bow of the ship, ordered the warship to dock, and helped Fang Xuanling and Li Jing to board the warship.

When Fang Xuanling and Li Jing boarded the warship, there were already sailors who raised a huge dragon flag to the top of the mast, and the warship slowly sailed out of the Wusong River with the current, and when it reached the Yangtze River, it was full of sails, the river wind was blowing, the sails were full, and the scissor-shaped bow split the river, galloping rapidly, no less than a galloping horse!

*****

The ochre-colored rocks, surrounded by yellow and blue water, look like a magnificent picture from afar.

This is Snake Hill Island......

If the Yangtze River is compared to a giant dragon, then Sheshan Island is the eye of the giant dragon's head.

The warship that looks huge and mighty in the Wusong River is like a drop in the sea at this moment, bumpy on the vast sea, surrounded by wind and waves, Fang Xuanling and Li Jing, who have never been to sea, are dizzy, looking at the islands and reefs that are getting closer and closer, feeling the magnificent sea, and experiencing the insignificance of people.

At the bow of the ship, the sea breeze made Fang Xuanling's clothes sound fiercely, Wang Xuance took a step behind, and said: "On the sea, the wind blows and surges, and often the turbid waves are monstrous and cannot sail, so it is difficult to build this lighthouse. Only on the day of completion, the lighthouse erected on this island will guide the ships that sail in the wind and rain or at night. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the southeast of Snake Mountain Island and said: "There is the most dangerous place in the entire Yangtze River estuary, the chicken bone reef, all the reefs are tightly above the sea surface a few feet, the weather is windy and rough, there is no reef hidden under the waves, there is no reference around, the vast sea is difficult to locate, I don't know how many ships are stranded here every year, and the seabed near it is full of shipwrecks and dry bones. However, after the lighthouse of Snake Mountain Island is completed, ships can be seen from a distance, and the chicken bone reef can be located, and no ship will run into the reef and sink here. ”

Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment.

I always thought that my son made such a lighthouse purely for fun, but I didn't think that it would have such a function?

It's just that it can help ships avoid chicken bone reefs, and this 600,000 guan is worth spending!

The warship cleaved the waves at sea, and soon came to Snake Mountain Island.

What is this island called?

It's just a huge rock jutting out of the sea......

Under the invasion of wind, rain and fog for many years, the rocks on the island have been washed clean, and the rocks are completely exposed, and there is no vegetation to grow. Only at this moment, dozens of ships are docked next to this island, and a wide boxy pedestal on the island has been erected, white and majestic, and it is particularly eye-catching.

On the side of the island, the weathering and peeling of the sandstone has created a magnificent landscape with thousands of walls, and on the cliff that goes straight up and down is a platform where several booms are hoisting the huge white stones of the ship docked at the bottom of the cliff one by one, and not far from the platform is the huge square base of the lighthouse.

Fang Xuanling just glanced at the scale of such a project from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: His Majesty Li Er built the Zhaoling Tomb to open the mountain and take stones, and it was probably nothing more than that......

The warship slowly docked not far from the cargo ship, Wang Xuance led Fang Xuanling and Li Jing to get off the ship, and saw a wooden frame made of giant trees standing on the side of the cliff, and a square lifting platform tightly tied by ropes slowly descended, and several people covered in blood were carried by the soldiers and rushed to the docked fast boat.

Wang Xuance said: "This island is full of steep rock walls, and there is no way to go up at all, so you can only take this lifting frame. ”

As he spoke, he led Fang Xuanling and Li Jing into the wooden frame, and stood on the lifting frame made of thick wooden boards, there was a small red flag planted aside, Wang Xuance pulled it up and shook it at the top, and then felt the rope fight, the lifting frame slowly rose, and after a while, he arrived on the island.

Li Jing lifted his feet and got off the lifting frame, and saw a huge winch counting on one side, so as to twist the rope to control the lifting frame, he couldn't help nodding secretly, this is quite similar to the device of the lifting suspension bridge at the city gate, it is very simple, but it is very effective. The most exquisite thing is the lifting frame, the square thick plank is sandwiched between eight thick giant logs in the front and back, left and right, and there are slides on all sides, which are stable and smooth when lifting and falling, which can be called ingenious.

As soon as I got up to the island, I saw the huge lighthouse base.

Looking at the sea from a distance, I don't feel anything different, standing under the pedestal at this moment, looking up at the pedestal that is more than 20 zhang tall, I can feel the shock!

The Great Wall of Qin, I'm afraid it's just that......

And not far in front of the pedestal, a group of people were standing, and one of them was shouting loudly.

"How many times have you told you, what is the most important? Safe, safe, still safe! The life of the people is not the life? In order to catch up with the construction deadline, you can take care of people's lives, regardless of the lives of those people? They still have wives and children in their families, and if this life is lost here, how can you bear it? Erlang has repeatedly written to me, telling me to ensure the safety of the people no matter what, you teach me, what happened to such a thing, more than a dozen people died, how do you let the official explain to Erlang? ”

This person has a strong voice, looking at his body shape and official uniform, it is Pei Xingjian.

Someone couldn't help but say: "Pei Changshi, if something like this happens, we are naturally duty-bound, but this is an accident after all, and no one wants to!" Besides, what's the big deal about a dead person? At the beginning, Erlang killed the Shanyue mob in Niuzhuji, and later killed the indigenous monkeys in Nanyang, but thousands of people were killed and the corpses flowed all over the field, and the natives of Linyi even gave him the nickname of 'Eryama King'...... Oops! ”

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked on the heel by the angry Pei Xingjian, and fell to the ground with a scream.

Pei Xingjian scolded: "Mother! Dare to talk back to Lao Tzu, right? It is the people of the Tang Dynasty who are dying now, can they be compared to the mob of Shanyue and the indigenous monkeys of Linyi Country? The lives of the Tang people, every one of them is supreme! Someone came, and this person was heavily punished with thirty military sticks, and handed over to Sima in the army to deal with according to military law! ”

"Whoa!"

Someone next to him stepped forward, grabbed the man, and twisted him aside.

The man's face turned pale with fright, and he begged for mercy loudly: "Changshi, spare me once, my subordinates will never dare again!" ”

Pei Xingjian scolded: "Military law is like a mountain, who dares to forgive? If you dare to confront me today, and dare to question the military order in front of the battle tomorrow, and if you are not punished today, will you wait for tomorrow to bury a soldier or even lead to a big defeat because of your disobedience? Go quickly to receive the penalty, a certain past is not to blame, if you dare to make noise again, you will be dealt with severely! ”

The man quickly shut his mouth, his face discouraged, and he did not dare to beg for mercy again.

The military discipline of the sailor division is strict, who dares to make a mistake?

Pei Xingjian looked back, suddenly caught a glimpse of Fang Xuanling and Li Jing, was stunned for a moment, hurriedly walked over, touched the ground, and said: "Fang Xiang, Wei Gong, there is an urgent matter to deal with, and I can't go to the dock of Huating Town to greet me in person, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Li Jing stepped forward to help Pei Xingjian up, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled, appreciating Pei Xingjian's performance just now.

Especially the sentence "How can the life of the Tang people be the same as that of the mob and the natives?" Speaking of his heart, in the final analysis, he Li Jing is also a pure Hanist......
