After visiting the shipyard workshop where warships are manufactured, Lee Seung-do went to the workshop where civilian ships are manufactured.

"Childe, please see, this is a private ship, now our Longjiang shipyard's main customers are Jiangnan and Qilu, of course, there are people in the Lingnan area to purchase, but there are very few, and the ships ordered in the Lingnan area are very small. In addition, Childe, please see, this is a newly designed fortune boat, a kind of pointed bottom sea boat, famous for sailing in the South Sea and the open sea. It is as tall as a building, with a wide bottom tip, a high head and tail, and a guard plate on both sides. The whole ship is divided into four layers, the lower floor is equipped with earth and stone ballast, the second floor is guarded by merchant ships, the third floor is the main operation place, and the upper floor is the combat site. The bow of the ship is high, and there is a strong impact device, which can plow and sink the enemy ship by pressing down on the wind, and win with more ship strength. This kind of ship is a treasure ship, with a unique double rudder design, which can advance and retreat freely in both shallow and deep seas, and the treasure ship is suitable for offshore trade, with first-class carrying and cargo capacity, a wide and strong hull, and a wooden sail like a shutter that can be used for many years. The advance speed is slow and steady, and it is usually used to carry fragile items such as porcelain. Also, this kind of ship is called a wide ship. Its basic characteristics are the long pointed head, small beam arch, and low ridge arc of the deck. The transverse structure of the hull was made up of tight ribs and bulkheads, and the longitudinal strength was maintained by the keel and the bulkhead. The structure is sturdy, with good seaworthiness and endurance. This kind of ship is called a sand boat, which is a flat-bottomed, square-headed, square-stern sea boat, and is the oldest type of ship in China. It is the main sea vessel that sails towards the northern sea zone. Because it is suitable for navigating on shallow waterways with many sandy beaches, it is called a sand boat, also known as a 'sand control flat-bottomed boat'. It is navigable in rivers, lakes and seas, and its seaworthiness is particularly strong, and its most prominent characteristics are wide, large, flat and shallow. The longitudinal structure of the sand boat adopts a "flat keel", which strengthens the longitudinal strength; The transverse structure is made of watertight compartments. In this way, the sand boat is integrated vertically and horizontally, and the sinking resistance is better. At the same time, in order to improve the anti-sinking performance, there is also a "Taiping Basket" on the sand boat. When the wind and waves are strong, a bamboo basket with stones made of bamboo is lowered from the appropriate position on the boat and suspended in the water to reduce the rocking of the boat. Characteristics of sand boats: First, the bottom of the sand boat can sit on the beach, and it is not afraid of running aground. Safe in the wind and waves. Especially when the wind direction and tide direction are different, because the bottom is flat and the draft is shallow, it is less affected by the tide and is safer. Second, the sand ship can adjust the Russian wind to fight the wind, sail with the wind and against the wind, and even sail against the wind and the water, and has good seaworthiness. Third, the initial stability of the ship width is large, and there are various equipment to maintain stability, so the stability is the best. Fourth, there are many masts and sails, the high sail is conducive to making the wind, the draft is shallow, the resistance is small, and the fast sailing performance is good. Sand boat structure: sand boat square head and square tail, commonly known as "square ship"; The deck surface is spacious, the depth is small, and the freeboard is low; The use of girder arches allows the deck to quickly drain waves; There is a "out of the boat" to facilitate the installation of the elevator, and there is a "virtual boat" to facilitate the operation of the canopy: multi-masted and multi-sail, the speed is relatively fast, the rudder area is large and can be lifted and lowered, and some rudder blades are lowered below the bottom of the ship when going to sea, which can increase the effect of the rudder, reduce horizontal drift, and the rudder can be raised in shallow water. The sand boat adopts a flat keel, which is relatively weak, and its width and thickness are 450 percent that of the same class of reeling boats, and its structural strength is still greater than that of other sailing ships of the same class. Multiple watertight compartments are used to improve the ship's anti-sinking performance. The seventh-level wind can sail without hindrance and can withstand waves, but because there are more in the north, it is the Qilu and Hebei families that generally order this kind of ship. Lee Seung-dao was watching and was watching when he heard someone shouting.

"The ship is finished, quickly prepare three animals and wine fruits, worship the sea god, prepare incense and candles, and worship the tree god!" When Li Chengdao heard such a shout, he hurriedly asked the director of the Longjiang Shipyard beside him:

"Lord Chief, I don't know what this ceremony is!"

"Mu Yi Gongzi! This is our ship-catching ceremony, generally after we build the ship, we have to prepare three animals wine fruit, incense candles and other things, tomorrow morning, when the sun rises, that time is called the rising sun, is the best time of the day. It is also the time when the gods are at their best, so tomorrow morning on the fifth watch, all of us shipyard staff will gather at the seashore and under the oldest sacred tree, pray and sacrifice, and then push the ship into the sea. ”

"Good! Lord Principal, tomorrow, I will definitely watch the ceremony. The next morning, Li Chengdao saw that the director of the Longjiang Shipyard was wearing a brand-new official uniform, and led his subordinate officials to the largest old tree in the forest outside the Longjiang Shipyard. The branches of the old tree are covered with red silk, and the workers of the Longjiang shipyard are already standing under the tree. The director of the Longjiang Shipyard bowed respectfully to the old tree, and respectfully received an incense plant from the hand. There are words in the mouth:

"The tree god is above, and the lower officials sincerely pray, praying for the blessing of the tree god, the hull is strong, the wood is strong, and the 'keel' is solid, so that it can experience wind and rain a lot. Please bless the tree god. The shipyard workers who were surrounding him also shouted:

"Bless the Tree God!" After the chief priest finished shouting, he respectfully inserted the incense on the incense table under the tree. Then he bowed respectfully, and then shouted:

"Sacrifice to the god of the sea!" Everyone followed the presiding officer to the seashore, and the presiding officer came to the seashore, and the presiding adult also knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to the seaside:

"The Sea Dragon King is above, and the lower officials sincerely pray that our new ship from Longjiang Shipyard will go to sea, pray for the Sea Dragon King to be calm and calm, and wish me success in going to sea. Someone! Sacrifice three living animals, sacrifice to the king of the sea dragon, and send letters. Under the command of the chief officer, they threw the heads of pigs, oxen, and sheep into the sea, and then they sent three live fish into the sea, and when the live fish had swam away, the chief priest stood up from the beach by the sea.

"The Sea Dragon King has already accepted our sacrificial gifts, and has also received our letter, and the Sea Dragon King said that we will have a smooth sail when we leave the ship this time! Open the gates! Li Chengdao looked into the distance, a gate slowly opened, and a big ship slowly drove out of the gate, along the waterway, slowly heading towards the sea. The sun shrouded the ship, as if it had smeared it with a layer of gold dust.

"In the future, if you can drive a huge fleet and go to the sea to ride the wind and waves, it will also be a sacred thing!" After Li Chengdao left the Longjiang Shipyard, he continued south along the canal, looking at the scenery of the Grand Canal and both sides of the canal, and recalled that since he was a child, his mother told him the story of his grandfather (Emperor Yang of Sui) building the Grand Canal.

"What a great piece of work! Although the people and money were lost (Li Chengdao was instilled by the historian of Li Tang and the gentleman who taught him since he was a child), it is difficult to hide that the Grand Canal communicates the material and freight transportation between the north and the south. Exchange of populations. Just when Li Chengdao sighed, he heard someone on the boat shouting:

"There's something in the water in the waterway ahead, pay attention."

"It's like a sack! The sack is still moving! When Li Chengdao heard the shout, he immediately ran to the bow of the ship, where the shout came:

"What's going on?"

"Enlightened Childe! There seems to be a sack floating in the waterway in front of it, and the sack is still moving, but I don't know what's in the sack! ”

"Oh!" Li Chengdao looked along the waterway and saw a sack floating in the waterway.

"Quick, jump down a few people and get that sack up for me!"

"Yes!" When the sack was fished up and opened, it turned out that there was a person who was tied up and his sins were sealed, and after the person untied the strip of cloth in his mouth, he coughed up a few mouthfuls of water, and then fainted, and Li Chengdao's personal attendant secretly said to Li Chengdao's ear:

"Your Highness, it seems that this person is a woman!"

"Woman!? Immediately arrange for Wen Po to help this woman change her clothes, boil some hot water, wash this woman, and let the doctor show her, and then my son will personally ask, what is going on with this person? Why was it tied up, put in sacks, and thrown into the canal? When the doctor saw the woman, he reported to Lee Seung-do:

"Enlightened Childe! There were some bruises on the man's body, but there was nothing serious about it, but he had been in the water for a long time, and he had begun to have a fever, and he would be fine with a few pills. The little one has already asked the maid to feed her medicine and ginger soup, and she will be fine for a few days. Lee Seung-do nodded. Motioning for the doctor to take him to the woman's cabin. The woman had already freshened up, taken her medicine, and had fallen asleep deeply. Li Chengdao took a closer look at this woman, this is a beautiful woman, although her face is pale, but there is a faint hint of ruddy. It seems to be like a half-ripe peach, especially those eyes, long eyelashes, which make Li Chengdao feel that the eyes under his eyelids must be very beautiful. Li Chengdao looked at it for a while and prepared to leave. At this time, the woman on the bed suddenly shouted:

"Father, mother, don't go! Don't go! Immediately after, Li Chengdao's hand was tightly grasped by the woman.

"Father, mother, don't go! Don't go! Don't leave Zhen'a! No! Please! Zhen'er is scared! Li Chengdao's hand was grabbed by the woman, but Li Chengdao felt the delicacy and crunch of the woman's hand. Lee Seung-do suddenly felt a sense of pity for the woman. Li Chengdao sat quietly next to the woman and said softly:

"Zhen'er is not afraid! Daddy is here, Daddy is here! Li Chengdao has never treated a person so gently, but he has always been gentle with this woman. On that day, Lee Seung-dao had been sitting next to the woman, motionless. When the woman woke up, she saw Li Chengdao sitting next to her, and shouted in horror:

"You, who are you? What is this place and how am I here. Who are you? ”

"Don't be afraid, girl! Here's my cabin! I saved you! ”
