Chapter 297: Port City
"Two generals, I can't imagine such a bitter cold place, and there is such a delicacy, I don't know if there are many such fish here." Zhou Shi asked.
Shi Yue burped and said with a big tongue: "Zhou... Steward Zhou, hiccup! Just this kind of fish, there are many here... More is more, as much as you want! ”
When Zhou Shi heard this, he immediately became interested, this delicious fish, if it can be transported back, it is definitely a very sought-after cargo.
"Two generals, can you catch these fish while catching people, I will ask Your Majesty to send someone to transport this fish when I go back." Zhou Shi said excitedly.
"It's so far away from the Five Cities, it won't stink when you transport it back!" Zhao Jian shook his head and said.
Zhou Shi said with a smile: "As long as the two generals can catch these fish, the problem of transportation does not need to worry about the two of them, we have our own way." ”
"This..."
Zhao Jian couldn't help but look at Shi Yue.
Although Shi Yue was a little shaken by drinking, his mind was still sober, and he said with a big tongue: "Steward Zhou, we are soldiers, and military law prohibits the army from participating in money matters. ”
When Zhou Shi heard this, he said disapprehantly: "Don't worry about the two generals, I naturally know this, I will explain the situation here to Your Majesty, as long as the two send some soldiers to protect the people of our trading post, the matter of fishing will be handed over to us to deal with, I think Your Majesty will not watch such a good thing be wasted in vain, and Your Majesty will not let you waste your efforts in vain." ”
Shi Yue sighed and said, "Steward Zhou doesn't know, this kind of fish is only available this month, and if you want to catch it, you can only wait until this time next year." ”
Zhou Shi was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Why is this, didn't you say that there are many such fish just now?" ”
"There are a lot of them, and according to the savages, they come here from the lower reaches of the river before the season, and they leave very quickly, and they don't always exist." Shi Yue said slowly.
Zhou Shi pondered for a while and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll come back next year, and I hope the two generals will help at that time." ”
"Well, since Steward Zhou really wants to do this, the two of us will naturally assist you." Shi Yue nodded.
When Zhou Shi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "It's hard work for the two generals." ”
The guests and hosts of this meal enjoyed themselves, and after three rounds of wine and five flavors, a few people fell asleep.
After staying here for three days, Zhou Shi took some northland animal skins and set out on the journey back.
"Brother Shi, this matter of transporting the population, is it for you or for me to go." Zhao Jian asked.
"I'd better go! I'll leave it to you here, Your Majesty ordered to arrest the population as soon as possible, and now that there is enough food, you can't find any interface to delay, and the next thing will be very tiring, hard Brother Zhao. Shi Yue said slowly.
Zhao Jian said with a smile: "Brother Shi is going here to be hard, it will be at least two months from here to the harbor, so take care of yourself along the way." ”
Shi Yue nodded and said, "Okay, we haven't had time to look at what His Majesty has rewarded us these days, but this time we finally have time." ”
When Zhao Jian heard this, he also became excited, and said, "That's right, I haven't tried that scimitar yet, Brother Shi has taken his leave." ”
As he spoke, he hurried towards his residence.
Shi Yue shook her head and walked towards her residence as well.
Looking at the books, paper, pen and ink on the wooden table, Shi Yue couldn't wait to pick up a book and look at it.
The fonts on it are all neat regular script, such beautiful characters, Shi Yue knows that this must be Wang Lang's handwriting.
This book is a collection of surnames and the Three Character Sutra, and there is also a commentary on the Three Character Sutra next to it.
Although it was very plain, Shi Yue still watched it with relish, and her fingers imitated Wang Lang's handwriting from time to time.
On Zhao Jian's side, he stood in the open space excitedly, wielding his scimitar indiscriminately and slashing indiscriminately, making him look like a madman.
"Click!"
The sharp scimitar cut off the thick wood of the arm in an instant, after seeing the sharpness of this weapon, Zhao Jian can be said to be like a treasure, since then, even when sleeping, this scimitar has never left his side.
A few days later, Shi Yue escorted more than 800 people towards the harbor.
And at this time, the harbor side.
Today, the port has been built, all the large animals in the vicinity have been cleaned up, and a new shipyard has been put into use.
While building such large boats, Mu Feng has also tried to produce some small boats according to the principle of this kind of boat, which is very suitable for fishing near the sea.
Since the first net of fish was harvested, people have really seen the abundance of fish in the ocean.
Just casually go down the net, you can return with a full load, and now the harbor is no longer a desolate place, the city walls are built, and the houses are connected to the city, and it looks quite prosperous.
It's just that due to the lack of manpower, a lot of progress has been delayed.
Shipyard, Mu Feng carefully inspected every part of the ship, this ship had put a lot of effort into it, and he didn't want anything to go wrong.
"Shangshu, this ship is so huge, can this really sail in the sea?" An official asked.
Mu Feng smiled and said, "This can naturally sail, don't worry!" ”
"Shangshu, the broken ships on the other side of the cliff, are they really built by humans on the other side of the sea, and those are really humans?" The officer asked cautiously.
When Mu Feng heard this, he said coldly: "Don't mention this matter too much, just take care of your own affairs, remember, when this matter is known to you, it will naturally let you know." ”
"Yes! Be! Mu Feng's serious expression frightened him into a cold sweat, and he said yes again and again.
The main body of the ship has been completed several times, and on the high scaffolding, the workers have carefully installed every part.
For the first time in building such a huge thing, Mu Feng used a pulley device mentioned in the physics book, which could easily lift heavy wooden planks to a high place, greatly reducing the difficulty of the project.
"Shangshu, I think this boat will be launched in half a year, if this boat can really float, we can try to go to the depths of the sea to see." The official said.
Mu Feng shook his head and said: "This ship is an experimental object, as long as it can sail offshore, you look at this wood, there are slight cracks now, such a ship will not take long, with the experience of building this ship, when we use those good wood, it will not cause waste." Mu Feng said slowly.
