Chapter 91: Shipbuilding
"You want to build a ship?"
When Tian Youdao got Qin Hao's drawings, he felt very strange, because the ship painted by Qin Hao was neither an ordinary fishing boat nor an ordinary merchant ship, but a dual-purpose business and war ship. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qin Hao's heart was so big that even Tian Youdao was surprised, "Qin Hao, you also know that since Emperor Taizu, this dynasty has been advocating literature and suppressing martial arts, and building a ship like this is a taboo in the imperial court, and if you don't get it right, you will be killed!" ”
Qin Hao spread out the drawings and said with a smile: "Master Tian doesn't have to worry, our ship, as long as these places are reserved when it is made, it will look like an ordinary shopping mall." ”
"You have some truth in it, but it just makes the uncle wonder, what do you want this kind of ship for? The army of the Great Song Dynasty was dominated by infantry and cavalry, and the imperial court did not pay attention to the sailors like Daoyu Village. ”
Tian Youdao's meaning is very simple, since you want to join the army, then use your status as a literati to be promoted in the forbidden army.
Qin Hao saw that Tian Youdao had misunderstood him, and immediately explained: "Master Tian, the ship we built is not really used for war, but for commercial use, and you also know that before this knife fish village was used as a sailor wharf, it was a commercial wharf." ”
Tian Youdao is a businessman, a very successful businessman, of course he knows that before this Daoyu Village was used as a military wharf, it was one of the busiest foreign commercial wharves in the Great Song Dynasty, and there were countless merchant ships that sailed from here every day.
Therefore, when Qin Hao said this, he knew Qin Hao's thoughts, the purpose of Qin Hao to build this ship was to retake the road of maritime trade and earn money from those barbarians.
Brushing his beard, he groaned slightly: "Hao, I'm afraid your road is a little difficult to walk, take the road of maritime trade, it's not that I haven't thought about it, and it's not that I don't want to make that money, but in the past few years, Japanese slaves have been rampant, pirates are rampant, and I'm afraid that I won't return home!" ”
The Japanese slaves are rampant on the sea, Qin Hao knows it, there is still a hero who kills the Japanese on Shamen Island, as a modern person, he knows better than anyone the importance of maritime trade to the economy of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are few modern military powers that did not start from the sea.
Seeing that Tian Youdao was worried there, he immediately smiled and said: "If it's difficult to go, you have to go, this time in Dongping Mansion, didn't I borrow 150,000 yuan from Master Tian?" If you don't take this road, even if you sell Qin Hao into Tianhengshan, you won't be able to repay that debt. ”
"That's a mistake!" Tian Youdao shook his head and said with a straight face, "Baby, you grew up with an uncle, and your uncle has always had high hopes for you, so since the uncle lent it to you, I never thought of asking you to pay it back!" ”
Qin Hao knew that Tian Youdao was telling the truth, and his heart was also full of gratitude for this, that kind of gratitude was the gratitude of the juniors to the elders, but in his heart, even if it was the elders, there were too many words that could not be said to them.
After thinking about it, he said: "Master Tian, Qin Hao understands your kindness, but Qin Hao has Qin Hao's principles, let's not argue about this matter first, and ask Master Tian to do me a favor and let Brother Chengguang help me make a few songs first." ”
Tian Youdao sighed softly, knowing that Qin Hao was the kind of person who did great things, no matter how much he persuaded him, he couldn't change the mind in his heart, but he felt that his daughter was wandering away with him like this, and his heart hurt a little.
When Qin Hao talked to Tian Youdao about things, Tian Xiaoqian usually didn't mix, and usually stayed outside, seeing Qin Hao come out with a relaxed face, he knew that his matter was done.
Stretched out his hand to pull up Qin Hao, and said sweetly: "Let's go, let's go to the City God Temple, find Brother Yang and them, let them stop training today, let's go out to sea to fish, and have dinner at the City God Temple at night!" ”
Tian Xiaoqian has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, even if she was gently and gently, it was impossible for Qin Hao to break free of her little hand, so she had to lead her, and as soon as the two of them came out of the compound, they saw Tian Chengsi hurrying back.
Seeing Qin Hao, he couldn't help but stand still, and said "Huh", "Hey, Qin Hao, it turns out that you are in my house?" The prefect is looking for you, saying that he wants our students from Dengzhou Mansion to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zhao Lianghei Zhao. ”
Tian Xiaoqian saw her brother, remembered what he said in the morning, and didn't greet him, her little hand pulled Qin Hao to her side, leaning on her tightly, which was a response to his words in the morning.
Tian Chengsi just smiled at Tian Xiaoqian's small actions, pretending not to see it, and after passing the words, he hurriedly went back to the house to prepare to go, and naturally had to be more grand for Zhao Liangsi.
Although Ping Yance is Tong Guan, the real mastermind is Zhao Liangsi, Tong Guan is just using his identity to add fuel to the fire, which is not only a secret in the government and the opposition, but also the controversy between the alliance and the non-connection is quite big.
Dengzhou Mansion and Suzhou of the Jin Kingdom are facing each other across the sea, as the forefront of this negotiation, this matter is also discussed among the students of Dengzhou Mansion, but Wang Shizhong has a good guidance, and these students are a good time for angry youth, and there are few opponents.
In the past, there were quite few readers, and there was not a single one among the hundreds, and people used to say that poor scholars were poor scholars, but in fact, in that era, people who could read books had a certain limit even if they were poor.
Therefore, the scholar and the family of the scholar are in themselves a manifestation of social status.
Whether it is Wang Shizhong or Zhao Lianghei, they are all Yan people who returned to the Song Dynasty, and they have no foundation in the Great Song Dynasty, and recruiting these students is also a means for them to stabilize their foundation.
The status of scholars in the Song Dynasty was quite high, if it was placed in the Tang Dynasty, when the style of scholars was prevalent, many high-ranking officials and nobles, in order to strengthen their own strength, raised some idle scholars to varying degrees, that is, the so-called doormen.
Of course, Wang Shizhong's fanfare for Zhao Liangsi can only show one problem, that is, Zhao Liangsi's envoy this time must achieve phased results, and Lianjin's resistance to Liao is already in sight.
Although there was Tian Chenghe's words, but in the case that no one explicitly invited him, Tian Xiaoqian didn't care about this, pulled up Qin Hao and still walked out, and just walked through the street in front of his house, he saw two yacha coming over.
Seeing that it was Qin Hao, they all sighed for a long time, handed over the invitation card in their hands and said, "Master Qin, you are really here, the prefect invites you to go to Penglai Pavilion to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zhao Lianghei Zhao!" ”
Tian Xiaoqian saw these two yachas, and she really couldn't wait to whip them into the sea to feed Wang Ba, it was impossible to go out to sea to fish, and she couldn't go to Penglai Pavilion, so she had to let go of Qin Hao, and said helplessly: "Since the prefect invites him, then you can go!" ”
Qin Hao looked up at the sky, and saw a dark cloud rolling towards this side, covering the sky and the sun, and the whole world was in a turbidity, and he muttered in his heart: "This June sky has become really fast!" ”
