But Gao Jun didn't talk much about himself, and talked about shipbuilding in a few words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He said, "After listening to the words of all of you and the officials of the two prefectures, I think that the matter of shipbuilding cannot simply be attributed to the fact that the officials of the two prefectures did not do their best, but that it was indeed difficult. If we do not solve the key problems and continue to work like this, I am afraid that by March next year, it will still be difficult to complete the number of 100 large ships. ”

King Jiangxia said, "I am about to listen to your opinion, you have to say everything." ”

Gao Jun said that when he came down the Han River from Dengzhou, he found that there were only a limited number of ships transporting timber, not because there was not so much timber in the Qinling Mountains upstream, but because the Jingzhou section of the Han River was narrow and the water was very dangerous when the big ships came down. And when the ships carrying the timber returned, they had to be pulled up by the slender men.

Therefore, judging from the supply of raw materials, according to the original plan, the task of seven ships per month is not to mention how to build it, and the demand for timber alone is too far behind. What if you add Ezhou?

He said: According to the number of 10 ships that have been built in Chuzhou from July to October, an average of two or three ships per month, and with the scale of the two docks in Chuzhou, officials at all levels in Chuzhou are indeed not lazy.

His words greatly moved the officials present in the prefecture, because these words came from the mouth of a Xizhou driver, not their own justification.

I also heard Gao Jun say that if you want to fight wide in the next five months and set aside one month for maneuvering, then according to the four months of November, the lunar month, the first month, and February, you will need to build ten big ships every month. It's not impossible. As long as there is enough dock, enough wood, enough craftsmen.

Wang Ye said, "But you just said that the Han River section ......."

Gao Jun smiled, "Why do you have to use a boat?" Isn't the boat also made of wood? ”

Wu Tingshi suddenly said, "Master Gao, you mean to let the wood flow downstream?" This is a good way, because the wood has to be peeled anyway, maybe let the river blister this way, the skin is easier to peel, but I don't know if the wood will affect the use of the boat when it gets wet. ”

Fan Ying continued, "Lord Wu, according to the texture of the wood, it will not be good in the river for such a short time. My brother and sister Liu and I came down from the Han River on a big boat, and it took less than two days to get from Xiangzhou to Chuzhou, so isn't a single piece of wood faster? ”

"If you're not at ease, you just have to ask the loggers upstream to pour wax on both ends of the wood and put it in the river." As soon as the two sisters said a word, King Jiangxia applauded first, "What a clever plan, such a wood problem should be enough, right?" ”

Gao Jun Dao, still not enough, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River water potential is more turbulent, it is best to cut wood in Wanzhou, Guizhou, Xiazhou three Linjiang prefectures at the same time, just according to what my wife said along the river, the timber matter is reassuring, but the number of logging in each state must be calculated.

King Jiangxia immediately instructed Li Yan, the deputy assassin of Ezhou, to take charge of this matter, and asked with bright eyes, "The matter of the dock, there are currently two in each of the two prefectures of Chu and Hubei, but sharpening the knife is not mistaken, and I agree to build the dock again, and how much is appropriate to expand according to the nephew?" There is no need to worry about the affairs of the craftsmen, but I will use the power of the Qin to order the downstream coastal state capital to gather craftsmen and arrive in Ezhou within a time limit. ”

Gao Jun said, "Ten ships were built in four months in two docks in Weizhou, so one dock can only build one and a half ships a month." I suggest that the prince should be widened, according to the plan of one dock per month, then only eight more docks will be built in Chuzhou, and they must be built within a month, and the month I originally set aside is for this. ”

The prince said, just so decided, the big thing is half, let's drink this cup together!

After the dismissal, King Jiangxia chatted with Gao Jun alone for a long time, and the prince said, "The virtuous nephew and I met here by chance, it really helped me a lot, His Majesty the Emperor's shipbuilding plan cannot be delayed, with the current progress, I am so worried that I can't do it!" ”

The emperor once said that next year, he would attack Goryeo again with 300,000 people, and at first he ordered Jiannandao to build ships, but Jiannandao said that the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were turbulent, and it was difficult to send large ships down the waterway. They are willing to pay Jiangnan Province to do the shipbuilding errand by Jiangnan Province.

Gao Jun said, "After the big ship is built, it must be inspected, and it is not just experienced once in the rapids in the Yangtze River Gorge area, and you can know if the boat is good or not." Besides, ships always have to pass through the sea to reach Goryeo, so isn't the waves of the sea as good as the river? It seems that there is some business between Jiannan and Jiangnan! ”

He said this a little bluntly, and King Jiangxia smiled, "I really can't hide anything from you, and it's no wonder that Ashina Desire Valley will be convinced, there are really some deals in it." ”

He and Gao Jun belonged to the old friend, and at this time he drank wine again, and the officials in the two prefectures had already retreated, except for Liu Yuru and Fan Ying, there was no one else, so he told Gao Jun some things.

He said, "Nephew, do you know which three states Jiannan Province was originally scheduled to host ships?" It is Meizhou, Qiongzhou, and Yazhou. Do you know who the assassin of Yazhou is? ”

Gao Jun said he didn't know. Wang Ye said, "The history of Yazhou is Li Daojue. ”

Gao Jun listened and fell into deep thought, and stopped talking. Li Daozong said, "Virtuous nephews don't have to guess, it's exactly what you think, this Yazhou Assassin is the head of this king." ”

Gao Jun asked, "Can you tell me more about your master, so that I can have a general impression." Why did he change his plans to build a ship because he was there? So, King Jiangxia began to speak from the beginning.

The Li royal family, the ancestral home of Longxi Di Road. The ancestor was King Wuzhao of Western Liang, and King Wuzhao gave birth to a son, Chong'er, who served as Hongnong Taishou in Wei; In this way, the fifth generation is Taizu Li Hu.

King Jiangxia said, "Taizu's third son, Shizu Bing, is the grandfather of Emperor Zhenguan; And the fourth son of Taizu is the grandfather of this king; So what about this Li Daojue, who is the grandson of Taizu's fifth son; There is also a Li Daoyu who served as an assassin in Laizhou, and he is the grandson of Taizu's eighth son, Yan Liang. ”

"That is to say, the prince and Emperor Zhenguan, as well as the grandfathers of Yazhou and Laizhou Thorns, turned out to be brothers, right?"

King Jiangxia nodded, "This Li Daojue is the youngest among us, he is only in his thirties this year, and the emperor usually doesn't care about him for the sake of family affection." But this time it was really difficult to squeeze, and it was said that in the country of Jiannan Tianfu, it was extremely easy to pay taxes in previous years, so the task of shipbuilding was handed over to him. ”

"Then why wouldn't he do it again?" Liu Yuru asked.

Wang Ye said, "Li Daojue wrote to the emperor that he was willing to lose money to Jiangnan Province, and according to the price of 1,200 horses of double-threaded silk for each big ship, a total of 120,000 double-threaded silk was given to Jiangnan Province, and Jiangnan Province built ships. ”

King Jiangxia smiled bitterly, "I am an elder brother, and I know that this is a thankless errand, but the emperor is reluctant to make it too difficult for his little brother, so he agreed, and I can't help but accept it." ”

The prince was talking about other people's family affairs, and Gao Jun knew that he couldn't make a vain evaluation, but he also heard from the words of the king of Jiangxia that 1,200 double-threaded silks per boat was definitely not cost-effective.

And Li Daojue only needs to lose the silk, so he saves the work of the organization, and there is no pressure, I can't help but say that even if he is as wise as the Tang Emperor, he has to suffer.

However, Li Daozong said, "Your plan, virtuous nephew, saves the cost of transporting wood by boat, it seems that Jiangnan Province will not lose money, and this king will have some face to face Jiangnan's father." ”

Gao Jun said, "Lord Wang, you are content, according to the original plan, the officials of the two prefectures of Chu and Hubei will lose money, but they are really not lazy, if the calculation is good, I dare to guarantee that Jiangnan Province will make money!" ”

The prince was overjoyed, and even said that it was good to dare to be kind. While instructing the people, they immediately settled in the house and let Gao Jun and his wife live. It's good to discuss things from time to time. He said, Xizhou, you should go back slowly, you can't fly anyway.

Gao Jun could see that Liu Yuru and Fan Ying were reluctant to live in the palace, and he knew what they meant. But he wanted to know the details of Li Mi, so he agreed. (To be continued.) )
