Chapter 222: The Age of Discovery of the Three Kingdoms?

As soon as Cui Yan agreed, Jin Liang suddenly thought that it was not very appropriate to let a person like Cui Yan do the recruitment department, because he was a child of a family with a self-respecting identity, and in history he presided over affairs for Cao Cao with Mao Jue, and the people selected were all honest and upright people, even if they had a significant reputation at the time, but people with bad conduct and did not keep their duties were never promoted, and they tried to set an example for their frugal behavior, so there is no scholar in the world who does not motivate himself with honest and honest conduct, even if he is a noble and favored minister, His carriages and horses and costumes don't dare to go out of the limit, and it is no problem for such a person to be in charge of the officials in the peaceful and prosperous times, but it is a little inappropriate in this troubled era, and nothing else, if the general Gan Ning, who Jin Liang never forgets, comes to the Recruitment Division, Cui Yan will definitely not recruit him

Thinking of this, Jin Liang didn't make a change immediately, he could use Cui Yan to restrain those children of the family, as for those children of the poor family, Jin Liang also prepared someone to assist: "Ji Jue, your Cui family is a big family in Qinghe, and you are quite prestigious in Hebei, it is better for you to be responsible for recruiting the children of the family in the recruitment department, and I will also send someone to be responsible for the recruitment of the children of the poor family, as well as craftsmen, orphans, and homeless."

Cui Yan was self-conscious, and he didn't want to be in the company of those craftsmen, orphans, and homeless, so Jin Liang successfully installed his childhood friend Fu Qi to be responsible for recruiting those poor children, craftsmen, orphans, and homeless people

Fu Qi is the descendant of the legendary hero Fu Jiezi during the Western Han Dynasty, and Sima Fu Xie, the protector before Huangfu Song, is the descendant of Fu Jiezi, and Fu Qi's branch is a side branch, and Fu Qi's ancestor followed Jin Liang's ancestor Jin Hao to guard Jiuyuan together. When Jin Liang's father www.biquge.info, Jin Liang, was the county lieutenant of Jiuyuan County. Fu Qi's father was a subordinate of Jin Liang. When Jin Liang followed Jin Liang to Ding Yuan, Fu Qi also followed his father to stay in Jiuyuan County, when Wei Xu went to Jiuyuan County to recruit the old Jin family, Fu Qi and Jin Liang's nephew Jin Peng took the lead in responding Jin Liang knew that Fu Qi's ability was not in battle, but in the chaos of the market when he practiced a pair of people, when Jin Liang had not left Jiuyuan, when he was wandering around Jiuyuan City with Fu Qi, Fu Qi could see at a glance what this person was doing and what that person was good at. Almost all of them were guessed, which made Jin Liang deeply impressed, but unfortunately Jin Liang never returned to Jiuyuan City in that history, and Fu Qi was also killed by the invading Xianbei people, this time, Jin Liang changed his fate and changed the fate of his friends

Although he has different concerns about Cui Yan, Jin Liang is still ready to cultivate him to be the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers after the 'day', because after the talent shortage in the first few years, after Jin Liang's education strategy for all blossoms. There will be no shortage of talents, and the civilian, official and military generals at that time need both ability and political integrity to stabilize the world. And you can't ask for the kind of talented and virtuous people, with an upright and self-disciplined person like Cui Yan to check it, it will improve the governance of the officials after the 'day' a lot

Of course, Jin Liang appointed Cui Yan to be in charge of the ministry, not completely assured, he has two concerns, one is that Cui Yan is the son of the Cui family of Qinghe, Hebei Wang, lest he only accept the children of the family and not the children of the Han family, in response to this, Jin Liang enabled Fu Qi Er, Cui Yan's heart to the Han family,' If Jin Liang has the ambition to win Longwangshu, Cui Yan does not support it, you must know that Cui Yan was killed by Cao Cao in history, and Cui Yan opposed Cao Cao to crown the King of Wei

Jin Liang then summoned Liang Mao, a native of Changyi, Shanyang, Yanzhou, who was recommended to Jin Liang by his fellow villagers

Liang Mao has been studious since he was a child, has read a lot, and often cites scriptures to distinguish right from wrong

In history, Cao Cao called him as Sikong Peng, during his tenure, Liang Mao often recommended people with advanced knowledge to come out as officials, and later was promoted to serve the imperial history at that time, the bandit Chang Feng was capricious, repeatedly rebelled, and was killed by Yu Ban, the stragglers who were defeated lurked in the area of Mount Tai, continued to disturb the troubles, burned and looted, Cao Cao appointed Liang Mao as Mount Tai Shou, after several months of suppression and pacification, the order has improved greatly, and more than 1,000 families have returned to Mount Tai to live in peace

Jin Liang first recommended Liang Mao as the general of the expedition to the south, let him follow his side, and after being completely brainwashed by himself, he was sent to the place as a county commander, and then promoted to a county guard

Jin Liang also summoned Xing Hao Xing Ziang, a native of Hejian County, Jizhou, who was recommended to Jin Liang by his friend Tian Chou

Xing Hao was raised as filial piety when he was young, and was also ordered by Situ, but he did not take office, and then changed his name and surname, went to Youbeiping, and traveled around with his friend Tian Chou, Tian Chou later came to the Yecheng court to serve and admired Jin Liang 'day', so he listened to Xing Hao, who was still traveling around: "It has been six years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the sea is in turmoil, the people are displaced and now the people are tired of the war, and the war is to the extreme, it will inevitably tend to be peaceful. Please come to help Jin Zhengnan," so Xing Hao packed his bags and came to Yecheng

Although Xing Yan showed great talent, he had a noble character, his 'temperament' was quiet and indifferent, although his words were few but reasonable, but he was appointed by Cao Cao to be Cao Zhi's and Cao Pi's master in history, which showed that he had great wisdom, and Jin Liang temporarily recommended him to be the general of the expedition to the south and wait for the 'day' before being promoted

Jin Liang asked Chen Lin again: "What other talents are on the way?" ”

Chen Lin smiled and told Jin Liang about the sages from all over the country who promised to come to Yecheng but were still delayed on the road for various reasons, especially those in the Jin Liang Han Virtuous Book, Jin Liang laughed happily after hearing this: "First-class generals, first-class ministers, it is not difficult to be such a virtuous and prosperous Han",

Chen Lin also said with a smile: "The lord's wisdom and talent have made our central army full of talents, fierce generals are like clouds, strategists are like rain, and dominating the world means that the 'day' can be waited."

Jin Liang restrained his smile and asked: "In addition to these talents who lead the troops to fight and govern the locality, I also asked you to go and invite skilled craftsmen from all over the country, whether they can make iron, raise horses, build ships, build, weave, make paper, or just be particularly good at farming, as long as you have a skill, you must do your best to invite them to Jizhou, I don't know how this task is completed?" ”

Chen Lin took out a thick roster and handed it to Jin Liang: "These are the skilled craftsmen invited from all over the country, and our Recruitment Division has sent them to Zheng Hun's Ordnance Department and the workshops of the Ministry of Industry, Han Hao's Tuntian Corps farms, and Tianchou's Taifu Temple pastures according to their respective talents."

Jin Liang flipped through the roster. See each craftsman's name, place of origin, ability, and whereabouts. Take a look at it. In total, there were more than 2,000 people

Chen Lin handed Jin Liang a thick roster: "Lord, you have instructed before, in the states and counties to meet the kind of orphans who are poor and helpless, no matter whether they are men or women, no matter how many, as long as they are not particularly crippled and dull, they must be brought back to Jizhou and raised by the lord himself." In these three months, we have recruited more than 6,000 orphans from the states and counties, and they have been placed in foster care in the Central Castle by the General's wife."

Jin Liang flipped through the roster, because many orphans did not have names, so they all took the surname Jin, and the names were determined according to the word order in Xu Shen's explanation, and each orphan's name was written behind their 'sex', place of origin, and specialty, and the specialties were written according to the specific situation of each orphan, and they were written with great strength, intelligence, and tenacious will, etc., and Jin Liang turned around and prepared to form several different brigades according to the characteristics of each orphan. Individualized

Chen Lin took a thin booklet and handed it to Jin Liang to read: "Lord." After three months of unremitting efforts, through the efforts of the subordinates of the Recruitment Division, more than 60,000 people from all over the country who came to Jizhou were persuaded to come, because the number of people was so large that we did not register according to each person's name, but only wrote down how many people came from each state and county."

Jin Liang took a look at the booklet, and each county was written under each state, and next to each county was written how many people had come so far, and the most of them was Luoyang City, because the rumors that Jin Liang had ordered people to spread before were very effective, and after the efforts of those soldiers of the Zhaoxian Division, many Luoyang people were afraid of the cruelty of Dong Zhuo in Xiliang, and they packed their luggage, crossed the Yellow River, and rushed to Jizhou

Jin Liang was very satisfied, and praised with a smile: "Chen Lin, you have made outstanding achievements in recruiting talents, in addition to the originally negotiated remuneration, at the end of the year, you will also be rewarded at the end of the year according to the performance of each of you, you have to work hard."

Chen Lin also laughed and said: "The lord is so generous, we must do our best to live up to the high expectations of the lord."

By the time Jin Liang had summoned all these famous talents in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, it had been two days, and Yan Lin, the wife of the general of Zhengnan, had already sent soldiers to urge, asking Jin Liang, the general of Zhengnan, to go back and rest as soon as possible

Jin Liang, the general of the expedition to the south, is only on the basis of the general of the expedition to the south, the honor is amplified, and the authority is not amplified, and he is still in charge of the military of Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou, but Youzhou is now in charge of Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Du, and Qingzhou is also in charge of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Kong Xuan, Beihai Xiang Kong Rong and others, Jin Liang wants to be a veritable general of the expedition to the south, so he must use troops against Youzhou and Qingzhou, otherwise the independent forces in these two states will not obediently submit to him, But Dong Zhuo's henchman has not been eliminated, and now he can only let the independent forces of Youzhou and Qingzhou become bigger

Jin Liang threw away all his troubles, and under the escort of a hundred personal guards led by Zhao Yun, he rode his horse to his mansion

Early the next morning, Jin Liang walked out of the bedroom refreshed, and Cai Yan lay on the big bed softly and slept soundly, with a happy glow on his face, which was the bright light that only a fully moisturized woman could emit

Jin Liang became more and more confident in his ability in that area, but he knew that beauty was always a steel knife that could not be indulged, although there were still many beautiful maids in the house, he did not mess with them

Jin Liang, under the service of Diao Chan and Du Xiuniang, dressed neatly, walked out of the inner house, and went to the military affairs courtyard of the outer house

The General's Mansion is located in the center of the central castle, it becomes a dock fort, the walls around the General's Mansion are four zhang high, the following is made of masonry, the top is a big blue brick, the four corners of the wall all rise up the arrow tower six zhang high, and there is a wall in the General's Mansion from west to east to divide the General's Mansion into the inner house and the outer house

On the east side of the outer house is the famous military affairs institute, which is the central system of the central army, and several courtyards around the military affairs institute are full of various ministries and departments under the military affairs institute, the west side of the outer house is Jin Lingqi's boy scout station, the middle side of the outer house is the place where Jin Liang meets the guests, and the 2,000 guards led by Dian Wei and Zhao Yun live in the courtyard on the inner side of the house wall

The Military Affairs Yuan has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Military Staff Department, the Military Industry Department, and the Military Intelligence Department, and is responsible for the overall operation of the Central Army

Jin Liang's ideal is that there are two courts under the cabinet, one is the government affairs yuan, which has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry. Responsible for the imperial court and local affairs. There is no military department or criminal department. No meddling in military and local security; One is the Military Affairs Yuan, and all the powers of the Military Affairs Department and the Criminal Department are delegated to the Military Affairs Yuan, which is responsible not only for military affairs, but also for local security and punishment

At this stage, in order to establish the orthodoxy of the Yecheng court, Jin Liang pulled Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Ma 'Ri', Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Liu Hong, Liu Yu, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun as cabinet assistants. It is still far away, so Jin Liang's grand plan of separating the military from the government is far from being implemented, and he can only think about it in his heart

When Jin Liang was fighting outside, the Military Affairs Yuan was in charge of Yu Shi Zhongcheng, the left-behind chief Shi Tianfeng and Ye Cheng Ling Manzhong, and when Jin Liang returned, there were marching commander Shi Fuzhu, Chinese army division Dong Zhao and others in charge

Jin Liang stepped into the Military Affairs Yuan, Dong Zhao, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Jia Xu and others were all there, but Tian Feng and Ye Cheng Ling were no longer there, Jin Liang smiled and asked: "Where are Tian Yuanhao and Man Boning?" ”

Guo Jia replied with a smile: "My lord, didn't the other cabinet ministers put forward a recommendation system?" Tian Yuanhao, as the commander of Yecheng in the imperial history, has the responsibility to check whether some of the talents recommended by the imperial court ministers are honest and honest."

Jin Liang Senran smiled and said, "That's very good." During the more than one month that I was not in Yecheng, there were many people in the court who made waves. Our Central Army is born and died, and we don't see that they have the slightest assistance, and they are very energetic, and such people must teach them some lessons."

Although Fu Zhu was a royalist and his loyalty to the Liu Han court was higher than that of Guo Jia, Dong Zhao and others, he was not satisfied with the behavior of some ministers in the court, so he said sharply: "My lord, now there are enough famous ministers in Yecheng who can completely overpower Luoyang, and there is no need for us to indulge those who have a vain reputation but only play power tricks behind their backs to corrupt the good situation that our central army has worked so hard to maintain."

Guo Jia nodded: "I will urge Man Boning to seize the time to collect evidence of the crimes of those people's henchmen, and when the lord comes back from Qingzhou, he can start a round of purge of Yecheng."

Dong Zhao handed over an official letter: "Lord, this is an official letter sent by Zhang Fan, the warden of Bohai County, and Qin Yi, the lieutenant of Bohai County, they found a natural harbor in the southeast, which has been named Tianjin according to the meaning of the lord, and the shipyard built there is already Qin Yi also led 2,000 Yellow River sailors to Tianjin Port, and recruited 2,000 fishermen in the coastal areas of Bohai County, organized into two brigades, named Bohai Sea Division, and practiced near Tianjin Port

Jin Liang unfolded it and took a look, in the official document sent by Zhang Fan and Qin Yi, in addition to what Dong Zhao mentioned just now, they also said that because of the lack of skilled craftsmen and the lack of experience in building large ships, Jin Liang was going to send a large ship to South America tens of thousands of miles away to find sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and they had not yet built it, and it was estimated that it would take four months to build ten, plus the large fishing boats recruited from both sides of the Yellow River and the Bohai Sea, they could barely form two fleets, and Jin Liang wanted to see them off, and it would be four months later

Jin Liang frowned: "Four months? At that time, we were already in Luoyang to defeat Dong Zhuo, where would we have time to go to Bohai to see them off? What's more, I have already made an agreement with Chen Gong and Ren Jun, saying that I will let them see sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn within three years, and according to their progress, it will be very difficult to get back sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn within three years."

Jin Liang took out the drawings of the Yueyang that he had given to Zhang Fan and Qin Yi as they were, and then took a closer look, he wanted to find a way to speed up the construction

This drawing is Jin Liang follow the record in the history books, applying the southern car and ship in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the hull is equipped with wooden impellers on both sides, a wheel is called a car, manpower pedals, the boat is like flying, and the later steamer is somewhat similar, the big ship is twenty zhang long, three zhang wide, the bottom of the ship is two feet thick, twenty wheel oars, three layers high, can hide thousands of soldiers

There is only one sail on a mast on this big car, the sail area is very large, which can make full use of the wind, and is easy to operate and save labor, the sail hanging mast is the most effective, the so-called turban top can lift the hull briskly, and when the wind is downwind, the use of the turban top navigation degree will speed up the canopy and then add the canopy skirt, that is, the edge of the sail downwind is made into a fold or curve, the upper part is smaller and the lower part is relatively wide, so that the wind pressure center is reduced, the ship is not easy to be blown over by the wind on both sides of the canopy with flower arrangement, which can make the hull not be sideways, and the flower arrangement is mostly used when the wind is side

The ship also made special use of open rudders and balanced rudders. The open rudder is to turn the rudder with less effort. Shipbuilders made many holes in the rudder surface. Called the open rudder, due to the surface tension of the water, the rudder surface opening does not affect the 'sex' performance, but can reduce the resistance of the water, so the open rudder can be called a unique invention, the balance rudder is to move a small part of the rudder surface to the front of the rudder rod, so that the oscillating torque of the rudder surface can be reduced, so that the operation is flexible and light

With wheel paddles and big sails. Coupled with the design of the open rudder and the balanced rudder, the sailing degree of the large ship is directly ahead of the times, and it can be said that this large ship can run the highest degree before the invention of the steam ship

The Jinliang has a special design with a watertight compartment, which divides the cabin into several separate compartments with bulkhead plates, and the thick bulkhead plate is tightly nailed to the hull plate to increase the transverse strength of the hull, and the bulkhead plate actually acts as a rib, thus replacing the ribs. Simplify the shipbuilding process and make the hull strongSecondly, the watertight compartment improves the ship's sinking resistance. In the event of an accident, the ship will only enter the bad cabin, which will not affect other cabins, and the ship will not sink immediately, winning valuable repair time, and the safety of the ship can be greatly improved

After adopting the watertight compartment structure, it is also convenient to make a secret inner warehouse inside, and place weapons and firearms in the inner warehouse, if you encounter a large fleet when sailing in the ocean, you will pretend to be a merchant ship, and if you encounter some small fleets, you will take out weapons from the inner warehouse to plunder

Jin Liang designed the shape of the ship and the hull structure of the transoceanic ship is determined by the keel, the keel is made of the head keel, the main keel and the tail keel three sections are connected by mortise and tenon joints, in the middle of the bottom of the hull, the hull is gradually widened by the keel to both sides in an arc shape, the hull plate adopts mortise and tenon overlap and flat joint, so as to form a stepped shape, and is reinforced with bamboo nails, iron nails and curium nails, the joints are made of hemp silk and tung putty and other twisted materials, the cross section of the ship is V-shaped, and the keel device penetrates the bow and tail of the ship at the lower end of the culet, which is conducive to breaking the waves. The bottom tip has a deep draft, good stability, and is easy to change the rudder and change direction, which can be used in narrow and reefy channels

The most important thing is that Jin Liang will also put the guide car in the big ship of the sea, Jin Liang has instructed Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Cabinet of Works, Zheng Hun, the head of the Central Ordnance Department, and his apprentice Ma Jun to rebuild the guide car together, although this guide car is shoddy compared with the compass of later generations, but sailing on the vast sea, it is much better than nothing, you must know that this batch of big ships of the sea is going to South America tens of thousands of miles away

Jin Liang also specially designed the subordinate boat of the Yueyang, which was made of the leftover wood from the large ship Yueyang, about five zhang long, with a small and pointed bow and stern, a pointed bottom, ten oars, and could carry fifty people, which was specially used for harassment and salvage of war trophies

Jin Liang looked at it and found that his drawings were still before the Three Kingdoms era, in this era, even in the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River where the shipbuilding industry was developed, there were no vehicles and ships, since the drawings were no problem, it was the problem of the shipyard

Jin Liang thought for a while, and said to his secretary Ling Lucui: "Send them a reply and tell them three points."

The first point is that Chen Lin and Cui Yan's recruitment department in Yecheng will recruit boatmen and fishermen in the Jiangnan area at all costs, and their shipyards also have a training system based on the old band

Second, they should set up workshops supporting the shipyard to process sail canopies, ropes, iron nails and other parts, and also set up stacking warehouses for wood, paulownia paint, hemp, etc., and also establish a set of strict systems for the construction standards of ship parts and the acceptance of shipbuilding materials

The third point is to build two large transoceanic ships in the early stage, each large boat and ten medium-sized fishing boats to form a fleet, and a month later, I will see two transoceanic fleets go to sea

By the way, tell Qin Yi that if he can successfully bring those three crops back from the other side of the ocean, I will make him the Marquis of Fubo Zhonglang and the Marquis of Jinghai."

Jin has a high conscience, and he is about to start the Age of Exploration of the Three Kingdoms.

After Jin Liang finished dictating, the secretary ordered Lu Cui to also write a reply to Zhang Mao, the Taishou of Bohai County, and Qin Yi, the governor of Bohai County.

Lu Cui handed the reply letter to Jin Liang, Jin Liang looked at it, and found that he didn't need to add anything to it, and couldn't help but sigh that Lu Cui really deserved to be Cai Yong's student, and his writing was brilliant, no less than those seven sons of Jian'an.

Jin Liang dealt with a few more urgent military affairs, adjusted the troop layout of several counties, and left all the subsequent trivial military affairs to Fu Zhi and others, surrounded by Zhao Yun's hundred flying tiger guards, Jin Liang flew on the red rabbit horse, carried the stone dragon broadsword, went out of the general's mansion, and went straight to the Zhaoxian Pavilion. (To be continued.) )
