According to the agreement between Chu and Seleucus, at least 2,000 of the 6,000 horses were mares. In ten years, just 2,000 mares can give birth to 10,000 ponies. This is not a previously estimated cross horse, this is a pure Nissa horse. The cavalry of the State of Chu riding a one-meter-fifty-five war horse met the cavalry of the State of Qin riding a one-meter-three-three war horse, and the result of the hedging between the two sides must have been that the cavalry of the Qin State fled in the desert.

Thinking of this picture, Xiong Jing laughed happily, and Gong Yijian saw this and asked, "Why is the king laughing?" ”

"Nothing." Xiong Jing quickly restrained his smile, he felt that he was happy too soon.

Gong Yijian didn't know what Xiong Jing was laughing at, so he continued the previous topic: "If you can add another deck above the upper deck, you can transport more horses, and you can transport 200 horses in one boat......"

"No!" Xiong Jing directly opposed it without even thinking about it. Of course, more horses can be carried with one more layer, but the center of gravity of the ship will also be greatly increased, which is very dangerous, especially when the storm is in the middle of the Bay of Bengal on the way back. This was his fear, in fact the lower deck of the 24-gun ship (that is, the first gun deck) had only one floor, and the upper deck was the upper deck, and there was no second upper deck.

Xiong Jing didn't have the ability to design a new ship type, all he could do was to take the ship type he had made before and bring it over according to the ocean. As for why the 24-gun gunboats with a displacement of 500-600 tons in the era of sail battleships had only one gun deck, Xiong Jing could not answer this question with detailed data or experience, he only remembered that this ship-shaped gun deck had only one floor.

A twenty-four-pounder naval gun weighed two tons, which was equivalent to four Nissahorses (in fact, a 24-gun ship could not have all twenty-four-pounder guns, many times eighteen pounder guns or even twelve-pounder guns, weighing a few hundred kilograms less). The total weight of one hundred and twenty Nissa horses was already more than twenty-four guns. Add another layer of ninety horses and the result would have been catastrophic.

Thinking of this, Xiong Jing shook his head again, and Gong Yijian's puzzlement made him suddenly want to go to the school to have a look. Even the descendants of the public lost the ship, and most of them built their ships by experience rather than mathematics. Just like he chooses the type of ship, he can only copy it, not create it, and the students in the school will systematically learn mathematics and physics. Although the teaching materials are simple, they are at least comprehensive, and the accumulation of generation after generation will one day reach the heights of future generations.

"King, the mansion buys more than 10,000 big chapters every year, and if you want to launch more than 30 gluttonous ships the year after tomorrow, the big chapters may not be enough." If you can't add a deck, you can't add it, Gong Zhijian didn't ask much, but talked about wood.

"Oh." Xiong Jing nodded in understanding. A gluttonous ship needs at least 700 large chapters, and 30 ships are 21,000. The previous plan was to run out of timber for the palace for the first three years with 25 ships per year, but suddenly more than 10 ships were added, and the timber supply was insufficient.

"Is it possible to use huge iron to make keels and ribs?" Xiong Jing came up with the idea of a big iron. Since Jutiefu was able to make cannons, the cannon was also a huge ingot at the beginning, the difference is that the keel is square, and the big ingot for making cannons is round.

"Keel maybe." The public loses the barge. "However, there are still a lot of big chapters required for the keel alone."

"How much wood is there in the palace rooms of Zhao, Qi, and Wei?" Xiong Jing asked again. It's also a dozen sources of wood.

"Dare to ask the king cypress and cypress?" The public loses the barge. "Zhao Qi Wei palace room more cypress, cypress, less nanmu, camphor wood, no elm. If cypress and cypress can be, the wood should not be worried. ”

"Cypress, cypress?" Xiong Jing thought about it, cypress and cypress are not hardwoods, it seems that they should be between hardwoods and softwoods. People like to use them to make coffins, which is not sawn into wooden planks to nail a coffin, but the whole piece of wood is directly hollowed out to make a coffin, you can imagine how big the diameter of the tree is.

"There are also many cypress and cypress trees in the counties, if it is ......" Gong Yijian's eyes were a little longing, but he didn't dare to act recklessly without Xiong Jing's consent. The sea is still very mysterious to him, and he has never made a sea boat, for fear that there will be any taboos on the wood used to build the boat.

"Maybe." Xiong Jing's answer was very vague. "The owner of the ship should be informed that the boat is made of cypress and cypress wood, and the boat is not strong and will not live long."

"How long is it available?" Gong Yijian asked. The model of the shipyard is to process the timber with supplied materials, and whoever invests in the cause produces the timber themselves. If cypress and cypress can be built, the owner will definitely care about the life of the ship.

"Or one or twenty years, or twenty or thirty years, it's all maintenance." Xiong Jing roughly said a number. Thinking about the drying time of the wood in shipbuilding is only five years, it can only be said that it basically meets the drying standard (qualified should be six years), and the life of the ship built in this way is estimated to be only 20 years if it is not maintained diligently. If cypress and cypress are dried for a long time, there is a drying period of more than 10 years, and they may be able to be used for 40 or 50 years without encountering strong winds and waves.

"It won't last longer than a hardwood glutton." Xiong Jing came to a conclusion. "If you don't build a boat with a big chapter next year, but build a boat with the wood from the palace dismantled by the Three Kingdoms, how many ships can be built?"

"This ......" is planned to open the Dazhang shipbuilding that has been dry for five years next year, and now Xiong Jing wants to change this order, first build a ship with the wood dismantled by the Three Kingdoms Palace, and Gong Zhijian has not yet counted how much of those timbers have been dismantled by the Three Kingdoms.

"Estimate." Xiong Jing didn't want an exact number, he just wanted to dry the wood as much as possible. "Thirty?"

"More than thirty." Gong Yi replied. "If all the timber is available, there will be no less than seventy or eighty ships."

"So much?" Xiong Jing was a little surprised, he was a little unconvinced: "Really? ”

"Yes, yes." The public loses the barge. "The three kingdoms are all big countries, Daliang, Handan, and Linzi have stood for hundreds of years, and the palace is prosperous, and the Chu State is not as good. If cypress and cypress can be made, the sea boat made is twice as large as that of Chu. ”

"That Ming and the year after tomorrow will build a boat with the wood of the Three Kingdoms Palace." Xiong Jing breathed a sigh of relief. In that case, those large chapters will be dry for seven years.

"Great King," Gong Yi Jian said again: "In this way, there will be more sea boats in the Three Kingdoms than me, and if the Three Kingdoms are ......."

"What about more than me?" Xiong Jing didn't care. "All the sea ships are under my jurisdiction, so what's the benefit?"

"The minister knows." Overseas trade profits are huge, and the sooner you go into the water, the more profitable it is. "The minister will tell the nobles of the Three Kingdoms tomorrow to bring the wood quickly."

"What about the craftsman?" The matter of wood continued, and Xiong Jing asked the craftsman again.

"The craftsman is safe." The public loses the barge. "There are more than 20,000 craftsmen in the Three Kingdoms, and some of them have been assigned to build fishing boats."

During this period in Linzi, the four countries discussed not only the construction of an economic system for allocating resources, but also focused on the interconnection of the military industrial systems of the four countries, specifically the versatility of weapons and the interoperability of logistics.

For example, arrows, the arrows of Chu have been improved to be four-edged heavy arrows, but the arrows of the Three Kingdoms are still light arrows, and the Zhao State was greatly influenced by the Hu people, and it was still two-edged arrows. This kind of arrow is suitable for immediate use, pretending to run away when encountering the enemy, and suddenly pulling the bow back while running, and the sound of 'boom' is an arrow. Later Romans, after paying the price of more than 30,000 men in Calai, were very afraid of this method of shooting, which they called parthian shot.

This kind of shooting arrow must be light, light arrow can be fast, fast can not be prevented. The four-edged heavy arrows of the Chu State are inappropriate, although the heavy arrows have strong armor-piercing ability, they are slow and have a short range, and the heavy arrows are suitable for dealing with the armor soldiers in the array.

light arrows, heavy arrows, crossbow arrows, repeating arrows; wooden bows, wooden crossbows, repeater crossbows, thorn crossbows; chieftains, spears, blades, shields; Rong car, heavy car, Qinghan boat, big boat, big ....... All military-related weapons, vehicles, boats, and even roads, bridges, and tracks must be of uniform standard, and they should be distinguished from the Qin State as much as possible. Only in this way can the four countries truly unite materially, and there is no such thing as the car of the state of Chu cannot go to the state of Wei, and the car of the state of Wei cannot come to the state of Chu.

"Good." Xiong Jing laughed again. This should be a copy of the Warsaw Pact system and the NATO system in the later generations.

"South Korea is also willing to send craftsmen to Yingdu." The public loses the barge. "The minister doesn't know ......"

"South Korea?" Xiong Jing Road. "South Korea is not credible, it has many spy ......"

Korea, unlike Wei, was completely a vassal of Qin, and Xiong Jing did not believe in Koreans. "Are there not enough craftsmen?" He asked again.

"At this time, it is enough." The public loses his insistent words and assertions.

"If you build fifty boats a year, how many craftsmen do you need?" Xiong Jing asked.

"Forty thousand is enough." The public loses the barge. "However, the arrows take a lot of time, and if I can accept Korean craftsmen, it will be of great benefit to me."

Arrows are consumables, and the three kingdoms of Zhao, Qi and Wei are all big users of arrows. Although the Chu army only had 36 archers, in the battle of Linzi alone, 30,000 Yingshi used more than 200,000 arrows. If the war is a national war, and it is not impossible to consume 10 million or even tens of millions of arrows a year over the years (such as the defense of a city).

Ge got Linzi in addition to asking for soldiers, then asking for food, and finally asking for arrows. After more than a year of fierce battles, even if they were used sparingly, the arrows in Zhao State's inventory had been exhausted, and they could only make as many as they could use.

The archery institute of the Northern Song Dynasty once had a quota for the production of arrows: three people made 150 arrows in two days, that is, five arrows per person per day. But at that time, a thousand years later, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the arrow feathers had already used goose feathers, and this era was still using carved feathers. If the four countries really want to fight against the Qin army, the output of arrows must be hundreds of millions, so the arrow-making craftsmen will be close to 20,000.

There is some truth in Gong Yijian's suggestion, and now there are one or two thousand people who make arrows and bows and arrows in various countries, while South Korea has many bows and crossbows, and it is said that there are three or four thousand people who make arrows. If we can recruit these three or four thousand people, it will indeed be of great help.

But what if there were Hou spies from South Korea and Qin among the three or four years ago? Not only do these people steal technology, but they may also destroy the house. Thinking of this, Xiong Jing hesitated again. It took several years for the confidant to finally clean up the spies of the Marquis of Qin, and now he has invited these people into the Chu State again, isn't it asking for hardship?
