"This Huang Zu is also a deception!" Out of the Xiling Bureau, Liu Sandao said with some indignation, the three of them came here to visit, but they were not even allowed to enter.

"The goal is achieved." Liu Yi is not too concerned about this, in the case of a huge disparity in identity, isn't it normal for people to look down on it, at least Zhuge Liang's letter did not fall to the ground, and Huang Zu gave him a place to build a walled city, which is already good.

He has passed the age of the second year of secondary school, and he has also touched the ashes, so he looks at the problem and pays more attention to practical benefits, at least people have helped you, if it is really who despises you, you must retaliate back in the future, the road will only get narrower and narrower, and even in the end there is no way out.

Liu Sandao was obviously used to being a bandit, and muttered something indignantly, Liu Yi ignored him, when he came, he had already inquired where the largest timber trader in Xiling County was, and he spent 20,000 yuan to order a few hard-to-find timbers, but he had to wait for the goods, I am afraid it would be tomorrow, people's shops were opened in the city, but the hoarded timber was outside the city, Liu Yi now had to think about how to transport the timber back, and his own wooden car could not pull so much wood.

The city of Xiling is a little depressed, the reason, Jiangdong seems to have moved again recently, this is a very normal thing, Sun Jian died at the hands of Huang Zu back then, Sun Quan wants to avenge his father, this reason is enough for Sun Quan to send troops to conquer Jiangxia anytime and anywhere, of course, in Liu Yi's opinion, this is only one of the reasons, the most important thing, I am afraid that it is still aimed at the fertile soil of Jingzhou.

With personal enmity and the competition for interests, this Jiangxia is naturally the best springboard for Jiangdong to open the door of Jingzhou.

"By the way, where is the tomb?" Tut, Liu Yi asked a relatively small question, not to mention that this map of the late Eastern Han Dynasty is a modern map, it is impossible for him to explain the location of all provinces clearly, let alone now, Zhuge Liang only marked some cities from Xinye to Jiangxia on the map, and the others were not marked, so Liu Yi could only ask shamelessly.

Huang Zu gave Liu Yi a place to delineate in a wasteland north of Tianmen Mountain in Jingling, there was no village during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, only townships, in addition, there will be some clans to establish their own Zhuangzi, just like the Zhuangzi where Deng Ai's mother and son were before, but that is not formal, now Liu Yi established Zhuangzi, Huang Zu directly gave Liu Yi a three-elder treatment, that is to say, the walled city he built is a formal Zhuangzi registered in the imperial court, which belongs to the regular kind.

Deng Zhuang, where the Deng family clan gathered, was in a similar situation, and he still had to pay taxes to the county every year, and if the government conscripted soldiers, he also had to send people.

Of course, there is a reward for paying, first of all, this is a walled city recognized by the government, protected by the government, if you are harassed by thieves, you can also ask the government for shelter.

However, in this era of chaos among princes, many Zhuangzi, although nominally belonging to the government, did not buy it, and the taxation was only to deal with the things on the table.

"Jingling?" Liu Sandao looked at Liu Yi a little blankly, he is from Guanzhong, although he has been to a lot of places, but his familiarity with Jingzhou is only known to Nanyang, there is a map, if there is no map, the ghost knows where the tomb is?

"Let's go and ask the sister-in-law of the Deng family." Liu Yi looked at the other party's face and shook his head helplessly, Mother Deng is a native, and it seems that she has received some education, she should be able to point out the direction for herself, but she really can't, so she asked all the way, this is also a normal way to go out in these years, after all, the map can only point out a general direction.

Deng Ai's mother and son were placed in the wine house and did not follow, and now that the matter has been completed, Liu Yi took the two to the wine house.

"Mr. Liu." Seeing Liu Yi and the others coming back, Deng Mu smiled and got up to greet them.

This is probably the so-called celebrity effect, before Zhuge Liang's recommendation, Liu Yi was only regarded as a neighbor who got along well and had some skills, but this time he was recommended by Zhuge Liang, but even the title changed.

"Sister-in-law, do you know where the tomb is?" Liu Yi stretched out his hand and asked with a smile.

"East of Huarong." Deng Mu nodded and said: "If Mr. wants to go to Jingling, you can take the waterway, Jingling connects the big river, Hanshui, and Xiashui, and it is quite convenient to take the waterway, which is about five hundred miles away, and it can be reached in half a month, and it is not easy to get lost." ”

"Waterways?" Liu Yi repeated, nodded silently and said, "Okay, let's take the waterway." ”

"But we don't have a boat!" Liu Sandao was stunned.

"Don't forget who I am." Liu Yi patted Liu Sandao and said: "Let your brother go to meet the owner of the village first, let him go to Jingling first, south of Tianmen Mountain, and cut down more wood, but before I arrive, I only need to polish the trunk, don't build it first, and I will do everything after I arrive." ”

This is his biggest single job since the crossing, once completed, the harvest is immeasurable, and naturally no one is allowed to destroy it.

"Okay." Liu Sandao didn't say much, and immediately agreed, and ordered another bandit to go to find Lu Lingqi and inform Lu Lingqi first.

"Get my carriage and go." Liu Yi smiled at the bandit.

"He drove the carriage, how am I going to go?" Liu Sandao was puzzled.

"Take the boat and go." Liu Yi said goodbye to Deng's mother and son, and after meeting by the river three days later, he took Liu Sandao straight out of the city.

However, there are a lot of things transported this time, and Liu Yi is going to make a sub-mother boat to come out.

The mother and son ship is a simple board boat manufacturing method of the Mojia machine, specially used to transport goods, and the two ships are connected to each other, but from the outside, it seems that the two ships overlap, the big ship partially covers the small boat, the mother ship is responsible for carrying the goods, and the child boat has a mechanism, similar to the pedal wheel of a bicycle, in addition, it can also use the power of a part of the water flow, and use the gear to turn the power of the water upside down, so that the ship will not be subject to too much resistance of the water flow even in the case of countercurrent.

Although it is only the simplest use of Mohist mechanics, in Liu Yi's view, this application of mechanics has reached its peak, and it is difficult to imagine that in the pre-Qin period, there was such a perfect mechanical system, but it is a pity that it has not been able to be handed down.

The invention of the steam engine may have taken an opportunity, but if this application of mechanics can be continued and improved, China may be able to lead the world in this area for more than a thousand years.
