Chapter 258: Are You Sure?

Although the negotiation is not a big one, it can be regarded as unsatisfactory, and it seems that Qin Hao is enough to explain to himself if the conditions can be negotiated like this.

After a grand dinner, early the next morning, Qin Hao put forward the condition of visiting the Wang family's dock, according to the conditions of the negotiation, all the docks and technologies of the Wang family will be merged into the Qing Gang from now on, and everyone in the Wang family will naturally not refuse.

Qin Hao naturally doesn't know anything about building sea ships, the technical requirements of this thing are too high, not something he can play with as a liberal arts student, although he probably remembers the appearance of antique ships after the fifteenth century such as the Galen ship or Zheng He's treasure ship, but the so-called difference is a thousand miles, when a research direction is a little bit of a ponder, it is nonsense to build it directly.

However, fortunately, Datang's navigation demand is mainly based on offshore navigation, and Datang's navigation technology should be enough.

So, Qin Hao walked around the Wang family's dock with his hands behind his back, looked east and west, and couldn't see anything, so he asked out loud: "Master Wang, do you have any unique skills, don't hide it." ”

The head of the Wang family smiled reservedly: "The helper is joking, how can there be any unique technology, but the southerners are more skilled in playing with water, but if you want to talk about special shipbuilding technology, there is a shipwright in the Western Regions in our family, who can make a special kind of sail, I don't know if the helper is interested in taking a look." ”

People from the Western Regions? When will the people of the Western Regions build ships?

Qin Hao was a little confused, but he knew that science and technology were the primary productive forces, and he had always attached great importance to this kind of technical talent, so although he had doubts in his heart, he still asked him to bring people.

After a while, I saw a bearded man with a high curved nose bridge and deep sunken eye sockets, who seemed to be swaying with a drunken body, and was probably drunk a little too much, and he couldn't walk steadily, and the angry Wang family kicked him to his knees: "Drink drink, you know how to drink, why are you so good at picking the time, why don't you meet the adults soon." ”

It's just that Qin Hao saw this person's appearance, but he gasped, and before the confused person could speak, he said tentatively: "May Allah bless you, my dear brother." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Wang family looked confused, and they couldn't figure out how this foreign shipwright He De could be a brother?

However, as if he had seen a ghost, the boatman sat on the ground with his legs kicked wildly, rubbed on the ground for several meters and retreated, and his two originally drunk eyes suddenly became clear, but they were full of fear.

"You... You..... ”

I don't know how long this boatman has been in Jinling, although he speaks with a strange accent, but there is no problem with daily communication.

Qin Hao thought in his heart, he really guessed correctly, what kind of people from the Western Regions are this goods, these people from the Wang family don't know the goods at all, this is clearly an Arab, oh, people are now called big cannibals.

"Were you sent by the Caliph to capture me? I.... I didn't drink. ”

Qin Hao was amused by this teasing comparison, and helped him up with a smile and said, "Please rest assured, my brother, this is the territory of the great Tang Empire, and you, as long as you build a boat for me, you are the people of my Tang Empire, and no foreign race can bully my people in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the caliph, even if Muhammad is resurrected, he can't arrest you back, in the Tang Dynasty, as long as your wine is earned by your ability, you can drink as much as you want, come, I have the best grapes from the Western Regions, and there are also top sake rice wine shoji knife wine." , go to me, how about I invite you to drink. ”

Later generations of people know that the halal doctrine is forbidden to drink, and if you travel to the Arab region, most of the areas are not sold alcohol, even if it is your own wine, if you are found by the locals when you drink it, it may not beat you to the head and break the bloodstream, but in fact, few people know how many people have died in order to ban alcohol.

A thousand years ago, the great cannibals not only did not ban drinking, but they were addicted to alcohol, and they could drink more than the later old Maozi, they could sell their sons and daughters in order to drink, they could kill or be killed, and whoever saved some food basically made wine.

Later, after Muhammad unified the Great Food, he felt that this would not work, because the whole country was full of drunkards, and it would delay my mission, so all the jars of the Great Food Empire were broken, and the fragrant wine was poured into the river, and drinking alcohol was made the same crime as gambling.

However, where the eating habits of a nation can be changed smoothly by the ruler with a few words, so some of the great cannibals took up their knives and guns for the right to drink and began to resist vigorously, of course, these mobs faced the so-called demigod Muhammad, naturally failed, so those who still wanted to drink fled from their homeland, most of them fled to the surrounding backward barbarians, but there were also a small number of people who chose to sail out to sea, fleeing to any land where they were allowed to drink.

The big cannibal in front of him should be one of them, watching him pick up a large barrel of wine and drink it cleanly as soon as he raised his neck, Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh, this look was like a child.

"Dear brother, since you can come all the way to the Central Plains from the distant Great Eclipse, do you know how to pull the stars?"

Astrology, this is Qin Hao's main purpose for inviting this buddy to drink, whether this technology in history was learned from China or China from Arabia, the two historians argued, because the compass was invented by us, but it is undeniable that at least in the Tang Dynasty, in terms of navigation technology, we are indeed inferior to others.

In Qin Hao's opinion, it doesn't matter who invented this thing, who is the teacher, who is the student, the important thing is that even if this thing was invented by us, after four hundred years of war in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it is basically lost now, but it is the Great Food Country, which is indeed more than one step ahead of us in navigation technology, and the Maritime Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty has always been a big cannibal.

According to Qin Hao's plan, maritime trade must arise in Datang, so the conflict with Dashi may not have to wait until more than a hundred years later, maybe a few decades, maybe more than ten years, or even a few years, Datang and Dashi will have a battle at sea!

Qin Hao is not an angry youth, he will not stubbornly think that ancient China is invincible in the world, and other nations are scum, he deeply knows what a terrible opponent Da Shi is, the world is always so interesting, powerful empires always rise almost at the same time, we have a Li Shimin, and people have a Muhammad, the two empires have their own advantages and disadvantages, it is difficult to say who is really more powerful, we can't be arrogant where we are stronger than others, but we have to admit that people are better than us, If you can learn the shipbuilding and navigation skills of the Arabs, then the last shortcoming of the Tang Dynasty compared to the Great Food will be made up.

Who knew that this guy shook his head in a daze, and said, "Astrology, I will." However, you Tang people, you can't learn. ”

"Oh? This is strange, do you think that the Tang people are stupider than you cannibals? ”

As soon as these words came out, the Wang family who accompanied them were all filled with righteous indignation, and many people rolled up their arms and sleeves to beat others.

The man hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, it's not like this, dear Tang Dynasty officials and brothers, I don't have any intention of looking down on the Tang Dynasty people, you have to believe me, it's just a complete astrology, you must have a wealth of mathematical knowledge, with all due respect, Datang's achievements in other aspects should be higher than ours, but your mathematics is really too poor, with your current mathematical foundation, you can't learn my astrology." ”

I saw Qin Hao show a very unfathomable smile and said: "You said that my Datang's mathematics is not as good as your food, you... Are you sure? ”
