"This time, I was hurt by Zhou Lang!"

Along the way, it was the hundredth time that Lin Lingsu had complained to Zhou Quan.

Lin Lingsu, who was originally named Lingsu, was renamed Lin Lingsu after meeting Zhao Ji. He was looking for an opportunity to get ahead in Beijing, and finally got the opportunity, but he was sent to Haizhou.

Along with him, there were more than a dozen people from the Astronomical Academy and the Heavenly Supervisor who were good at astrology, and they came to Haizhou for one thing, to work together to create a navigation instrument that could be located on the sea by virtue of the stars and even the sun's shadow.

Only when this thing appears, and then the prime meridian is determined, and the position of the equator is confirmed, the navigation can be more accurate. Of course, this premise is the theory of the circle of the earth, and Zhou Quan believes that these people who are proficient in astronomy and astrology will soon put forward the theory of the circle of the earth.

"Daoist Lin has wronged me, and it is Wang Laozhi who recommended Daoist to the official family." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Mr. Dongwei is smart, and he is confused for a while." Lin Lingsu sighed again.

"What do you think, sir, looking at this pier?" Zhou Quan ignored his sigh, these Taoists pretended to be ghosts, wanting to gain wealth, and now they are being used by him to really give full play to their value.

Lin Lingsu squinted and saw the scale of the port, and his heart moved slightly.

Different from the inland wharf of Jingshi, Haizhou Wharf is a wharf facing the ocean, so the scale is much larger, a long causeway, straight out of the sea, on both sides of the embankment, is the ship's position, what makes Lin Lingsu a little surprised is that the gantry cranes erected above this big wharf.

Because of the extensive use of pulley blocks, Haizhou Wharf now has four positions, all of which have built large gantry cranes. This big thing made of reinforced concrete has become the most eye-catching thing on the dock. Thousands of pounds of goods can be easily loaded or unloaded on ships by dock workers with the help of it.

When the goods are landed, they will be loaded onto the carts, which are large carts carried by wooden rails, each cart can carry thousands of catties, which are carried by two horses and quickly transported into the warehouse.

There are many ship masts at the wharf, and at least more than 20 sea boats and more than 100 fishing boats are berthing or sailing nearby.

"Lang Jun is so bold!" Lin Lingsu said.

"I heard that Daoist Lin's greatest ambition is to seek immortals to visit the Dao and strengthen the Daomen, especially to overpower the Liberation Sect?" Zhou Quan asked again.

Lin Lingsu nodded, and said with disdain: "Shimen Hu Sect, how can it be compared to my Dao Orthodox Sect!" ”

This guy is a very strong person in history, and after getting Zhao Ji's favor, he even made the entire Song Dynasty Buddhist temple change to Taoism, so to speak, he is a fanatic in a sense.

It is easy to do it if it is a fanatical believer, Zhou Quan smiled: "If Mr. has his ambition, he should come to Haizhou, invite the Dao Gaoshi, and go overseas to spread the Dao teachings." Hu Kelai, why can't I go? ”

Lin Lingsu was stunned.

He only thought about suppressing the rest of the religions at home, but he didn't think about running overseas to preach. And Zhou Quan's words made his eyes light up.

After a long while, he asked, "Is this a good idea?" ”

"How is it not feasible, if there is a Taoist priest who wants to go to the sea to preach, I deserve all the expenses, and I will preach outside for ten years, or gather more than 100 people in the church, I will have another offering!"

Lin Lingsu hesitated, and Zhou Quan smiled again: "In the Tang Dynasty in the past, the monk Jianzhen crossed east seven times and preached in Japan, so Buddhism flourished. Although Taoism pays attention to quiet and inaction, there is also a saying of inaction and inaction, if there is nothing to do, why bother to press the teachings? ”

Lin Lingsu nodded, what Zhou Quan said was reasonable, but he had his own plans in his heart.

Zhou Quan also has his own plans, anyway, Zhao Ji has already been moved by him, and it is inevitable that these Taoist priests will follow the boat all over the world, so Lin Lingsu can't help but disagree.

"Mr. Yu, I am going to place this primordial platform on that mountain, if there is any need, please ask Mr. to command."

The so-called original observatory is an observatory, which is used for stargazing and the rotation of the sun and the moon. And Mr. Ji is an old man in his sixties, and he used to be an acquaintance of Zhou Quan. This person's surname is Tom Chen, when Zhou Quan was in Beijing to break through the Tianguan guessing riddle, it was this person who calculated the puzzle of dividing steamed buns.

He once followed Su Song to build a water transport instrument elephant platform, but he has not been promoted for many years in the Taishi Bureau, and now he is finally promoted, but he is coming to Haizhou to measure the latitude and longitude.

Zhou Quan's rise is what he sees in his eyes, seeing that Zhou Quan's attitude towards Lin Lingsu is average, and he is very respectful to himself, Yu Tomchen is a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he also said politely: "If there is a labor system, the lower officials will go up to take a look, and then reason." ”

This is a person who does practical things, Zhou Quan nodded and said: "Mr. is old, if there is anything, just tell the left and right to do it, Mr. only needs to control the overall situation." ”

"Thank you for the setup!"

The system is Zhou Quan's new official position, the coastal system envoy of Haizhou in the Great Song Dynasty, this official position was shoehorned over by Zhao Ji, Zhou Quan has no interest at all, and he does not plan to officially take office.

Not far behind him, Bai Xianfeng and Dong Changqing stood on a high platform, pointing at the port.

"I came to Haizhou from Xuzhou, and what I saw was really different from the surroundings, the population of Liguojian has exceeded that of Pengcheng, our Ming Gong is an expert in governance!" Bai Xianxiandao.

Both of them are now Zhou Quan's staff, and they are called Ming Gong. Dong Changqing was a little disapproving: "Ruizhi, I think Ming Gong is too extravagant, if he spends money like him, what can't he do?" ”

Unlike Bai Xianxian, Dong Changqing is accustomed to careful calculations, and his reason for taking refuge in Zhou Quan is even simpler: thanksgiving.

Dong's family is in Wuwei, close to Suzhou, and the reason why he left Taixue and went home last year was because Zhu Mian's minions picked up his family.

When he returned to Beijing, he originally wanted to mobilize his classmates to write a letter to admonish, asking Zhao Ji to rebuke Zhu Mian and treat him for the crime of harming the people, but after the book was uploaded, there was no sound of water, and it was useless at all. When he was depressed, Zhou Quan picked up Zhu Mian's mansion.

This incident made Dong Changqing Huo Ran wake up: To cure traitors like Zhu Mian, it is useless to rely on the emperor and national law, you have to be like Zhou Quan!

It's unreasonable, if you don't agree, then just flip the table and don't follow the routine!

Zhou Quan's actions made Dong Changqing very happy, so he had the same thoughts, and encountered Bai Xianxian's punishment of Li Bangyan, he also knew Li Bangyan, so he also ended up at that time, and joined forces with Bai Xianfeng to make Li Bangyan disgraced.

Later, when he learned that Bai Xianfeng was Zhou Quan behind him, he felt that his idea was right, if he could follow Zhou Quan, a treacherous person like Zhu Mian and Li Bangyan could also clean up at will!

Therefore, afterwards, he was introduced by Yang Bai Pioneer, put himself under the curtain of Zhou Quan, followed Zhou Quan's team, first went to Xuzhou Diqiu for half a month, and then came to Haizhou.

It's just that whether it is in Diqiu or Haizhou, Dong Changqing doesn't see his position.

If he just follows Zhou Quan as a helper, there is no problem, but he still wants to do something practical.

"Brother Rubai, you are too anxious." Bai Xianfeng understood what Dong Changqing meant, and reminded in a low voice.

Dong Changqing was silent for a while, and then sighed: "I am nearly thirty years old, and I have achieved nothing in my academic career in the year I have established, so I really dare not delay any longer." ”

As soon as he had said this, he saw a long, narrow ship coming from the direction of Liandao, this ship with three towering masts and white sails like clouds, although it was not a big ship, but the speed of the ship was extremely fast.

Among the two of them, Bai Xianxian, who came from Shaanxi, was still seeing the sea for the first time, so he didn't think there was anything unusual about this ship, but Dong Changqing had been to the sea several times, and after seeing the ship, he sighed: "What a fast ship!" ”

When he saw the ship, Zhou Quan's face showed joy: "Sure enough!" ”

At the beginning, he gave Lin Chuanzhong and other master craftsmen a year, hoping that they could build a flying clipper boat, but he still underestimated the shipwright at this time, after more than a year of exploration, these shipwrights have been able to accept his shipbuilding concept, and the pointed and pointed bottom of the flying clipper is not too difficult for them.

Therefore, after spending half a year, the first clipper ship "Blue Bird" was officially completed half a month ago, the bow of the ship is a hollow cabin, eight zhang long, one zhang three wide, the freeboard is extremely low, almost pressed to the water, but in order to facilitate sailing against the wind, the sail used on the ship is a longitudinal sail. Although Zhou Quan called it a clipper ship, it was actually a schooner with a girder sail.

Even so, the Blue Bird was so fast that it completed its maiden voyage from Haeju to Jeju in just four days, and then the return journey took a little longer, only six days!

However, Zhou Quan's joy was contained after the Jade Bird docked.

He has good eyesight, even if he is far away, he can recognize Yu Yang.

Yu Yang originally stayed in Jeju Gokookseong City, where he helped Li Qing manage Jeju affairs, but at this time he returned to Haeju, and there was only one possibility, what happened in Jeju.

Looking at Bai Xianfeng and Dong Changqing, Zhou Quan had an idea in his heart.

Yu Yang's credibility is higher than that of Bai Dong and the others, after all, Yu Yang's family is now in the hands of Zhou Quan, but his ability is really limited, and he is less than Bai Dong and the others. There is no relationship in Jeju yet, but the next step is to prepare for a little while, and his strength is not enough.

It is better to let Bai and Dong get in touch with the colonial affairs of Jeju, first, to see if they are loyal, and second, to let them practice their hands, if they can succeed, they will have manpower available when they are studied.

Although he has some ideas, Zhou Quan is still wary of these two old literati, even if he uses them, he will be able to control them absolutely like using Li Qing, Yu Yang, and He Shun.

"Let's take a look first, Mr. Bai and Mr. Dong, both of you come with me." Zhou Quan said.

Bai and Dong followed him towards the Blue Bird, and Lin Lingsu also wanted to follow, but was blocked by Li Bao. Seeing this, he smiled and didn't insist.

"Yanai, Yanai!" Seeing Zhou Quan, Yu Yang seemed to have a backbone, the panic and anxiety on his face were gone, he saluted Zhou Quan, and was about to speak, but when he saw Bai and Dong who came with him, he stopped talking.

"These two are Mr. Bai and Mr. Dong, and now my guest, this Yu Yang, the assistant director of the Jeju Governor's Office." Zhou Quan first introduced the two parties, and then without waiting for Bai Dong and the others to figure out what the Jeju Governor's Mansion was, he asked directly: "If you have something to say, it's okay, what's going on in Jeju?" ”

"The Koreans landed in Jeju, and the rebellion of the Saturn Lord has risen again, this is a message sent by the Koreans!" Yuyang Road. (To be continued.) )
