32. Shipyard (II)
(To ask for Sanjiang like votes, see the announcement for the voting method...... )
===============================================================================
Speaking of which, this is the shame of his Zhao family's ancestors, after the difficulty of Jingkang, Gaozong's own family boasted that he crossed the river with mud horses and came to Jiangnan, but in fact, he was driven away from his family and business. Even if he fled to Jiangnan, it was not safe, and once the Jin army came south, Gaozong had to take a boat to avoid the sea. After this time, Gaozong took entering the sea as the last way to retreat, and cut off this last way to save his life in order to prevent Jin Renzhou, he used the strategy of his subordinates to set up a coastal control department and lead the naval army to be stationed in Dinghai (now Zhoushan). After many years of changes, now the Coastal Formation Division has thousands of naval armies, more than 100 large and small warships, and is the gateway of the Qing Yuan Mansion.
"Brother Jiu settled down in Qingyuan Mansion first, if he is looking for a way, he will not be able to make friends with the generals of the Coastal Preparation Division." Zhao Youju patted the table lightly, how did he forget about this matter: "The preparation department has its own shipyard, if there is a suitable way, you might as well invite some shipwrights to come...... Brother Jiu, our shipyard is located in Changguo County (now Dinghai), find a small island with fresh water, even if it is far from the shore, it doesn't matter, if there is no one above, it is the best, if there are people, let them move out. ”
Since Hu Fulang was able to draw his background, Zhao and Ju had the intention to do the work of the base together, looking for a small island with fresh water in the Zhoushan Islands, although it is more inconvenient than land, but it is convenient to keep secrets, and second, it can be used as a transit at the front station.
Another function of this base is to hide people's eyes and ears. Zhao and Ju know that their family business has been prosperous in the past year, which has attracted a lot of people's attention, and almost all the available land in Yuzhang Villa has been occupied, and there is not much prospect.
Naturally, the most suitable person to come forward to do this is the old housekeeper Zhao Xi, when he gets things done, he will let Hu Fulang and Zhao Ziyue take turns to supervise. In their own shipyard, it is rare to use some shipbuilding skills of later generations, and put them on the island, although it is a little troublesome to transport materials, but they are not afraid that those skills will be known to others.
Zhao and Ju hope to maintain the shipbuilding process for about three to five years, and after three to five years, the island will become a springboard.
"It's not difficult, but you have to be cautious if you have a strong wind in the sea." Hu Fulang didn't know that Zhao Youju had thought far away at this moment, so he just said according to his own thoughts.
Typhoon "Hmm......" is indeed a major concern for the Zhoushan Islands, and it will come at least a few times a year, but if the site is selected properly and the materials are paid attention to when building the house, some losses can be reduced. There is no need to tell Hu Fulang about these things, and then tell the old housekeeper, who will take Fang Youcai, a carpenter, to build it, first build a small port, which can be used by small boats near the sea to enter and exit, and then build a dock, and when his own strength is stronger, he can slowly expand.
The two discussed for a long time, and they both felt that it was indeed the right move to abandon Quanzhou and choose Qingyuan. Zhao Youju also secretly laughed at himself in his heart, he read too many books of later generations, and only knew that Quanzhou was the most important seaport in the Song and Yuan dynasties, but he forgot about another good port around him.
While they were discussing, Xiao Cui's voice came from outside the door: "Da Lang, Xiao Xue asks to see." ”
Since Zhao and Ju found out that Xiao Cui had interceded for the child, he gradually sent her to serve in her mother's yard. Zhao Heju heard her voice and smiled at Hu Fulang: "This Xiao scholar is the newly invited Xixi in Zhuangzi, Brother Jiu will sit for a while, and I will see what is wrong with him." ”
Xiao Bolang has been like a fish in water since he moved to Yuzhang Villa, he is an adult, and he has a foundation, although it is only a few months, but he has already surpassed the progress of those children, and now he has done analytic geometry in arithmetic. Not only that, but he was very interested in the trick of the trick, which is now called the side door, and that quarter of an hour reminded him that he could make many gadgets using the principle of the escapement.
Many of these gadgets are toys of later generations, such as chickens pecking rice. He always has some strange ideas these days, and when he has them, he will come to ask, which makes Zhao and Ju difficult to deal with, so he avoids him a little.
"Well...... Dalang. Xiao Bolang didn't know that Hu Fulang was there, so he came in with great interest, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to call his teacher, and when he saw Hu Fulang, he changed his words.
"Xiao Xuexue, please take a seat." After introducing the two, Zhao Heju beckoned Xiao Bolang to sit down and said, "What is the matter today?" ”
"Dalang, I thought of it!" Xiao Bolang just hurriedly saluted Hu Fulang, and then shouted: "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse, Zhuge Wuhou's Wooden Ox Flowing Horse is like a quarter of an hour!" ”
Zhao Heju smiled bitterly, Xiao Bolang is all right, it is really his luck to be able to pick up such a scholar who is obsessed with the left side of the door, but his shocked temper, especially in terms of scientific and technological inventions, he can't wait to shout that the whole village knows his temperament, which makes him quite uncomfortable.
Perhaps it is this kind of arrogant temperament that allows him to ignore face and worship himself as a child.
"Perhaps, I told you that you have a new idea." Zhao Youju said mockingly: "I know that Wuhou used this to make a wooden ox and a flowing horse, do you want to make one too?" ”
Xiao Bolang was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "It's better to build a wooden cow and a horse than to build that hot air balloon, Da Lang, when will you release the hot air balloon again!" ”
This is another proposal that makes Zhao and Ju smile bitterly, since the hot air balloon was released on the evening of the Yuan Festival, Xiao Bolang wanted to mention it every few days, but Zhao and Ju never agreed. The reason is that I don't want to be too shocking, that New Year's Eve, people are looking at the lights, and the people present are all family guests, and the hot air balloon is only three or five feet high and then recovered, so it has not alarmed others. Even if there was a farmer with a weak mouth, he went outside to boast, and he only said that Yuzhang Villa put an extra-large Kong Ming lantern, which did not arouse any suspicion. But afterwards, Zhao Youju already regretted it when he thought about it, there are many ways to verify the efficacy of Eucommia ulmoides gum, he doesn't know if it's because he is childish or otherwise, but he chose the most attention-grabbing one, although it is in exchange for Xiao Bolang's help, it is somewhat dangerous.
"No hot air balloons?" Seeing Zhao and Ju shaking their heads, Xiao Bolang was quite disappointed, and after the quarter of an hour was made, he felt a little idle, paused, and said: "Speaking of hot air balloons, that Ou Bama told the students a very interesting thing. ”
"Oh?" Zhao and Ju's heart moved, Ou Bama is the son of Ou Laogen, and he showed great intelligence soon after he was sent to his home to learn Yixue, and this young man likes to use his brain, and he is very good at arithmetic, and he is one of the few children who have mastered the four arithmetic. He and Shaw Brown's temper are like-minded, and they have long formed a friendship that has been forgotten for a long time.
He said that the hot air can not only push the balloon, but also push the iron lid of the cocoon pot, and perhaps replace the water wheel to drive the reeling car. Xiao Bolang patted his hands lightly and said something that made Zhao Heju stunned. (Note 1)
Note 1: Naturally, the steam engine was not invented so early, whether it is science or process accumulation, it is not enough at present. In 1688, the French physicist Denis Papin built the first simple steam engine with a cylinder and piston. At this time, Ou Bama is just conducting some preliminary exploration.
