Wang Shouren took Zhang Yi's warrant to find Ge Hong, and Ge Hong was a little embarrassed after reading it, "General Zhendong is not a mortal, but how to compile this scripture?" If it is too much, it will be flattering, and if it is not enough, it will be useless. Do you have any options? ”

Wang Shouren knew that this Ge Lao Dao was complaining about himself, so he said to him: "This is about stabilizing Shanyue, and it doesn't matter if you flatter you." ”

Ge Hong looked at him deeply, and then said, "Your Excellency is also extraordinary!" ”

"Thanks for the compliment!"

Compiling the Taoist Sutra is not a day's work, nor is it the work of one person. Ge Hong alone has to write a Taoist scripture, which is indeed a bit stretched. So he invited the more famous ones at the moment to talk about it.

Lujiang Zuoci, according to legend, cultivates in Mount Emei, and is good at the art of the house. Zuo Ci is actually the ancestor of Ge Hong, the founder of the Jindan faction, and later preached to Ge Xuan (Ge Hong's grandfather), Ge Xuan preached to Zheng Yin, Zheng Yin preached to Ge Hong, and finally had "Hug Puzi".

Pingyuan Liu Dan, good at arithmetic, after Sun Quan surrendered, he came to Shouchun, and was quite famous in Shouchun.

Liu Dian thought that Zhang Yi was different, an extraordinary person, and told Ge Hong all kinds of calculations. Zuo Ci was noncommittal about compiling scriptures and creating gods, but he was very friendly to Ge Hong, and passed on three volumes of his "Taiqing Dan Sutra", as well as one volume each of "Jiuding Dan Sutra" and "Golden Liquid Dan Sutra".

Zhang Yi gathered the ministers and said: "Now I am based in Huainan, and the waterways should be repaired. In the past, Sun Yi and Sun Jing escaped from the sea, and then Chen Deng withdrew by taking advantage of the sea, which shows that the naval army should be of great use. I heard that Gongsun Du of Liaodong once crossed the sea to attack Qingzhou, and the naval army should also be of great use! I decided to divide the navy into two, with Poyang Lake as the governor of the navy and Jiangdong as the governor of the navy. I don't know who can be the governor of the navy? Who can be the Governor of the Navy? ”

Liu Muzhi said: "The minister heard that the Poyang Naval Army, Li Bao is good at commanding troops and planning, and Zhang Shun is good at fighting in the water, so Li Bao can be used as the governor and Zhang Shun as the auxiliary." ”

Liu Ye said: "This is wrong! Zhang Shun's military position is higher than Li Bao, how can Zhang Shun be supplemented? ”

Liu Muzhi retorted: "The level of military rank does not mean talent, Zhang Shun does not have the talent to command the army, let him supervise the water army, it will definitely cause a big disaster!" ”

Liu Ye also refuted: "Since ancient times, the military position has been like this, and it is unheard of to lead a high position with a low position!" ”

"That's it!" Zhang Yi interrupted the quarrel between the two, his two strategists actually had a certain amount of selfishness, and the reason why Liu Muzhi recommended Li Bao was just to attract Li Bao as a helper. And the reason why Liu Ye wants to keep Zhang Shun is because Zhang Shun and him are both old ministers.

Zhu Zhi saw that Zhang Yi was embarrassed, so he stood up and said: "Lord, it is better to divide the naval army into two parts, Zhang Shun and Li Bao each supervise one department." ”

When Zhang Yi heard it, he felt that this method was not bad. He said: "In this case, with Zhang Shun as the left governor of the navy, he will lead two thousand sailors to be stationed at the mouth of the water; Li Bao was the right governor of the navy, and commanded 2,000 sailors stationed in Chaisangkou. The naval governor was Gan Ning, supplemented by Li Jun and Pan Zhang. Junli, you are familiar with Wu County, do you know that a harbor can be built there? ”

Zhu Zhi said: "There are many places where Wu County can build a port, so you just need to let Meng Rafter (Meng Kang) go to Wu County to find a place to build a ship. Sea ships are not as big as river boats, and the wind and waves at sea are too big, so they need to be built bigger to ensure stability. ”

Zhang Yi thought about it for a while, and then said: "Three days later, I will go to the nest. ”

On the way to the nest, Zhang Yi saw a bumper harvest. Although Zhang Yi was also mentally prepared before, after all, the system had already told him, and many people also said that this year's harvest would be bumper. But for the first time, he looked at the wheat, rice, and sorghum all over the ground with a sightseeing mentality, which was very modern - the appearance of modern reduced yields!

At this time, agricultural production is still too backward, but there is no way, there is no high-yield seeds, no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, no agricultural machinery pumps, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice! Without these things, you can't be productive if you want to.

This is also why when there is a good harvest year, the people rejoice and think it is auspicious. If you encounter a disaster year, you will definitely sell your sons and daughters, and you will not be able to live! Many people say that this is caused by the family, Haoqiang, and landlords, and there are reasons for this, but it is definitely not the whole reason. To be fair, the real long-term family will never force people to death, they are very good to the people of their hometown, such as the warlords of the Republic of China, they can be said to burn and loot in other places, but when they return to their hometown, they will build bridges and pave roads.

This is also why many villages are big families with appeal, and just bullying the villagers will definitely not be supported by everyone, only by maintaining benevolence and strength.

Zhang Yi also wants to put an end to this phenomenon, but with his current strength, he can't do it at all. As long as these people don't do too much, Zhang Yi will let it go.

A few days later, when he arrived at Juchao, Zhang Yi met Meng Kang and asked Meng Kang to take him on a tour of the dock to see their shipbuilding technology.

After watching for an hour, Zhang Yi frowned and asked, "Are all the boats you built this square?" Is this how sea ships are made? ”

Meng Kang said: "Only the larger the area, the heavier the ship. ”

"If it's a cargo ship, that's the case. But the ship should be based on speed! Wouldn't it be faster if the front was a point, or if it was a point? Zhang Yi said intentionally.

Meng Kang said: "This will indeed be faster, but the boat is unstable!" ”

"You've already tried?" Zhang Yi asked.

"Tried!" Meng Kang said: "We have done some experiments when we were building warships before, and the bottom of the ship with a pointed bottom needs to be very long, too short to swing from side to side, and too long to easily touch the bottom of the reef river. ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "Riverboats use flat bottoms, but seaboats don't!" The bottom of the sea is lower than the bottom of the river, and a pointed bottom can be used. The bottom of the boat does not need to be too long, and you can press the boat with some stones, so that the boat can stand firm. ”

When Meng Kang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Zhang Yi: "The lord will bring it a little, and I will go to verify it!" ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Go together!" ”

Coming to the depths of the dock, there are several small boats parked in a pool, all sorts of things. Meng Kang called a shipwright, brought some stones, and pressed them on the bottom of these small boats. The ships, which had been unstable, were immediately stable.

Meng Kang was amazed on the side, and kept muttering: "It's amazing!" Why is that? ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Xunzi" once recorded that Confucius worshiped the wine vessel of Lu Huan Gong Temple, and held wine without pouring, which is the reason. ”

Meng Kang said with emotion: "Today is a long experience!" With this method, a culet-bottomed boat can be built. ”

Zhang Yi said: "There is a lot of wind and waves at sea, and it is difficult to fight against the power of heaven with manpower, so we must find a way to use the power of heaven. Think of a wind-powered rolling car, with the help of the wind. ”

Meng Kang said: "You can set a sail and go with the wind!" But what if it's a headwind? ”
