Without waiting for Dong Feng to experience the discomfort caused by Sun Shao, Yue Hai enthusiastically invited him aside, many craftsmen in the shipyard are unwell these days, which has been serious enough to affect the progress, Yue Hai is worried, but it happened that Dong Feng sent him to the door.

Dong Feng had no choice but to apologize to Ge Heng, but Sun Shao didn't care about it, and pulled Ge Heng aside to study the problem of counterweights. Ge Heng since Sun Shao pointed out the problem of the center of gravity, he came all the way, paying attention to the differences between the ships in various places, he not only noticed that the center of gravity is conducive to preventing the ship from capsizing by the wind, but also noticed the impact of the position of the front and rear counterweights on the ship, so the problem that Sun Shao wants to solve is not a big problem for him at all, in a few words decided how to deal with it, in order to be on the safe side, completely dispel the doubts of others, he took out the ability to make a ship model, and decided to use the ship model to test first.

Yue Hai naturally raised his hands in favor, how can Ge Heng do this safely and reliably, if it happens, he must be a great achievement, even if it doesn't work, he has nothing to lose, and immediately arranged two technicians for Ge Heng and asked him to start immediately.

When the Three Kingdoms did not do the ship has not staked out this said, if you want to do what the ship, are presided over by experienced people, direct cutting processing, here in the face of the host of the person is very demanding, his little mistake, may lead to serious problems, the loss of materials, the ship overturned. Because of this, when Sun Shao proposed to add weights to the bottom of the ship, Yue Hai was very cautious, for fear of messing up. Now Ge Heng said that he would do a ship model test first, and for him, it was equivalent to eliminating the risk, and of course he was relieved.

As soon as it came to making a boat, Ge Heng immediately indulged in it, and threw Sun Shao aside, Sun Shao was a little bored, and asked him while he was resting, if there was anything interesting in Dongzhi City. Ge Heng was still a little absent-minded, but when he heard what he said, he became vigilant, and his face was still a little nervous: "Young master, don't you go to Dongzhi." ”

"Why?" Sun Shao was very puzzled.

The corners of Ge Heng's eyes twitched, and he organized a sentence before saying: "Back then, the rebellious general slaughtered the city here. ”

Sun Shao's eyes rolled and he understood what Ge Heng meant: Dongzhi people don't have a good impression of him.

Sun Ce slaughtered Dongzhi City, when Yan Baihu was in Dongzhi, he refused to surrender, Sun Ce took a lot of effort to break Yan Baihu, and slaughtered Dongzhi City in a fit of anger. Sun Shao only knew a rough idea of this matter, and he didn't take it seriously, and now he was suddenly reminded by Ge Heng, and he realized that this matter didn't matter to him, but for Dongzhi people, it was a painful memory.

Hey, how did I accidentally inherit such an inheritance?

Sun Shao sighed secretly, but he was not in the mood to do any repentance, he asked casually: "Does Yan Baihu still have descendants?" ”

"I don't know." Ge Heng shook his head: "After their brother was killed by the rebellious general, most of his subordinates did not know what to do, there are many mountains and harbors here in Dongzhi, if there is, they may also be bandits or pirates or something." ”

"Are there a lot of bandits and pirates here?"

"Many." Ge Heng sighed: "Although this place still belongs to Huiji County, the control of the government is already very weak. ”

Sun Shao's brows furrowed, he had known that the hinterland of Jiangdong was unstable, but Dongzhi, as the governor of the eastern part of Huiji County, was so unoptimistic, which was beyond his expectations. He wanted to ask a few more detailed questions, but when he saw that Ge Heng's mind was not on this, he dispelled his thoughts and let him make a ship model with peace of mind and wander around the shipyard by himself.

Zhang Qi is full of joy to repair the ship, there is Sun Shao's big tiger skin cover, Yue Hai is very polite to him, arrange someone to repair a few of his ships, Zhang Qi is not an uninteresting person, the goods on the ship are half sold and half sent a lot, the people in the shipyard have a good impression of him, the work is very smooth, and the repair of the new ship looks at people happy. Seeing that Sun Shao's face was not very good, he hurriedly came up to inquire, and after listening to Sun Shao's explanation, he suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Why should Sun Jun worry about this, in fact, the people of Qianshou can't remember so much, they say that if they are tight, they will complain, if they can't go on, they will rebel, on the contrary, if they still can't get by, they will fall again, and the cycle will start again, nothing else." ”

Sun Shao turned his head to look at Zhang Qian, who was disappreciative, and suddenly felt that he still hadn't been able to adapt well to his identity and hadn't fully integrated into this era. Although Zhang Qian is a businessman, he is at the bottom of the power structure, but in the whole society, he is still at the top of the middle level, with the Zhang family as the backing, he lives a very nourishing life, and he does not have too much sympathy for the people at the lower level.

Aren't you feeling a little too sentimental?

Seeing that Sun Shao didn't speak, Zhang Qian thought that Sun Shao was worried about state affairs, he thought about it and said: "If Sun Jun comes and goes on this sea route in the future, he will definitely see Yan Baihu's descendants, if there are still people." ”

"You know?"

"I don't know much." Zhang Qian pointed to the southeast direction: "I just heard that after the rebellious general pacified Dongzhi, there were many people who did not want to follow the rebellious general to go to the sea to become pirates, and later some people saw them, it is said that there is a continent in the southeast direction, called Yizhou, except for some barbarians, there is no government control, they settled there, and lived freely." ”

Sun Shao's heart suddenly moved, he pondered carefully, since this is the mouth of the Minjiang River, then this should be Fujian Province in the future, is the southeast of Fujian Province the island of Taiwan? Could it be that someone arrived on the island of Taiwan at this time?

"How did they get there?" Sun Shao asked curiously.

"I don't know." Zhang Qian smiled, thought about it and said, "Sun Jun, in fact, there are some things that you may think too complicated about. For example, this ship, you said that the building ship is easy to capsize due to the wind, which is not bad, but there is not always wind on the sea, and there are not many cargo ships that are not as good as the building boat, and those Yi people even have bamboo rafts that can float across the ocean. For the sake of wealth, there are countless people who dare to take risks, how can they be too thoughtful. If nothing else, let's just talk about this pirate, how many pirates are there along the way? Probably no one can tell, but doesn't this sea route come and go like this? As long as it's profitable, it's normal to take some risks. ”

Sun Shao also smiled: "A philosopher once said that if you have fifty percent of the profit, you can take risks, if you have twice the profit, you can be lawless, and if you have three times the profit, you can do anything, it seems that it really makes sense." ”

"Hehehe, although it is not hit, it is not far away." Zhang Qian didn't hide it, stroked his beard and smiled: "Taishi Gong has a saying, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit." As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind. ”

"The biggest profits don't come from doing business." Shen Xuan didn't know where it came from, and smiled sadly: "It's a rebellion." ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Shao laughed, pointed at Shen Xuan and said, "I don't think you want to be surnamed Shen, your surname is Wei." ”

"Surname Wei?" Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he also smiled, he touched his nose, and said with a disapproving smile: "Sun Jun, it's not that I'm afraid that the world won't be chaotic, but that's the case." Even if you have mountains of gold and silver, what can you do? An edict can bankrupt your family and ruin your family. Lü Buwei is the king of Qin, and he has been in power for more than ten years, and he seems to have unlimited scenery, but in the end, he is not like a bird or beast? ”

"Mozhi, you don't seem to be right with this word." Sun Shao didn't answer his words, "I see that you are not silent at all, but you are very noisy." ”

"It's okay to say it without saying it, and it's a loss. Don't talk about it, lose your words. Shen Xuan put his hands behind his back and stood against the wind, with a grim look on his thin face: "Although I am not a wise man, I dare not violate the teachings of the saints." ”

Sun Shao is helpless, this kid is too persistent, he persuades him to rebel at every opportunity, his words are sharp and sharp, every sentence pierces his heart, but he can't refute it, he can use the words of the sage to persuade people to do big rebellious things, and he speaks righteously and strictly, I have to admit that his tongue is indeed better. Sun Shao can't afford to provoke and can't hide, this kid is now very familiar with those guards, and he simply doesn't treat himself as an outsider.

Zhang Wen gave me a trouble, and Sun Shao sighed. Fortunately, this guy still knows the importance of it, that is, he talks about it in front of himself, and he doesn't mention half a word in front of others, otherwise he really has to think about whether he should be done and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

"Mozhi, how about accompanying me to Dongzhi City?"

Shen Xuan was also very clear about Sun Ce's slaughter of Dongzhi, he turned his head to look at Sun Shao, and the corners of his mouth were crooked: "You go to Dongzhi, aren't you afraid of being assassinated on the street?" ”

"What are you afraid of?" Sun Shao raised his hand and patted Shen Xuan's shoulder: "Isn't it because I have your knife by my side, what do I have to be afraid of." If I'm finished, your Shen family won't be able to do anything good, maybe you'll have to implicate the Zhang family. ”

The corners of Shen Xuan's mouth twitched, Sun Shao's words were too vicious, if he really died, Sun Quan would definitely take his Shen family under the knife, and Zhang Wen, the middleman, couldn't eat and walk around, so he really should ensure his safety.

"Scared?" Sun Shao looked at Shen Xuan playfully. Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since the captain is not afraid, I have nothing to be afraid of, so I will accompany you on a trip." ”

Zhang Qian hesitated, and was about to be persuaded, Sun Shaoyi pulled his arm: "Zhang Jun, don't worry, we are ordinary businessmen, go to the market to understand the market, and we are not going to cause trouble, what is there to be afraid of." ”

Dongzhi is the place where the most Yizhou people come across the sea, Zhang Qian has heard of it for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to go to Dongzhi to have a look, of course, he is also very excited. Besides, with masters like Sun Shao and Shen Xuan, plus those personal guards of the Guan family, as long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, there is not much danger, and they hit it off immediately. Sun Shao found Yue Hai to lead Guan Chuan into the city, and Yue Hai was still a little worried that something would happen to Sun Shao, but then Shen Xuan showed his hand, and then thought that Guan Feng's martial arts were not bad, so he also responded.

Early the next morning, Sun Shao, Guan Feng and others left the shipyard and traveled up the river by boat to Dongzhi City. Soon after leaving the shipyard, there were more boats on the river, most of them were slender boats, one or two people rocking the oars, rowing the pulp, shuttling back and forth, the boats were loaded with all kinds of novel goods, and there were many fruits and vegetables that could not be named. Sun Shao was well-informed in his previous life, Zhang Qian has been in business for many years, and he is also a knowledgeable person, although Shen Xuan has not seen much, but in addition to talking a lot in front of Sun Shao, he is consistent with his words in front of others, and he is also a person who cherishes words like gold, only about Xiaoqing and Qiaoyue, the two girls are fussed, and they have to ask curiously when they see anything, and the crisp voice is like two yellow birds, chirping non-stop.

Although they are not building boats, but they are also the official ships of Houguan Shipyard, which are much more majestic than most of the boats in the river, plus the two lively girls are also quite likable, and the boats passing by them are quite polite to them, and after a short time, they each hold a handful of fruits in their hands, and taste them with taste.

Sun Shao's attention was different from them, he saw that many of these ships were dressed in a different way, unlike the Han people who wore their hair in a bun and wore turbans or crowns, most of these people tied their hair into a handful and put it on the top of their heads, while the hair next to them was shaved off, and it was as smooth as a cucumber skin. Although the weather is not too hot, many people are naked, even if they are wearing clothes, it is a simple piece of cloth, most of the body is exposed outside, revealing a variety of tattoos, although these tattoos have a lot of patterns, but a closer look can also distinguish most of them are bird patterns, and the phoenix bird pattern used by the Han is very similar, but there are some differences, what makes Sun Shao feel even more strange is that some people have no front teeth, and they show black tooth holes when they grin, which looks very funny.

"Could this be the chiseled people in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Sun Shao joked.

"Sun Jun reads the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Shen Xuan pursed his lips with some disdain: "What is there to read about those vain and absurd books." ”

"Hehe, you don't understand that." Sun Shao took out a wooden board from the backpack behind Shuai Zeng, put it on his lap, took out a thin charcoal pen, and quickly sketched it on the paper.

Shen Xuan glanced at it, the disdain in his eyes became even stronger, and he laughed sarcastically: "I didn't expect the captain to be really both civil and military, not only good martial arts, but also good painting." ”

Sun Shao tilted his head and glanced at him, he was not angry, he finished the picture carefully, then carefully put it away, and called Qiao Yue and Guan Xiaoqing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Don't patronize and eat, after eating, draw it for me, and the painting is so rewarding." ”

"Don't worry, the young master has rewarded us and received it, and someone else painted it." Qiao Yue giggled, picked up the sketchpad and left. Sun Shao turned his head and looked at Shen Xuan seriously: "Have you read poetry?" ”

Shen Xuan smiled proudly, not even interested in answering.

"Why read poetry?" Sun Shao asked.

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and replied: "Sage Yun, 'If you don't learn poetry, you can't speak'." He also said that reading poetry can help you learn more about the names of birds, beasts, insects, and fish. ”

"Well, yes, I finally met one that was a little interesting." Sun Shao nodded with emotion: "Then dare to ask Mozhi, how many birds, beasts, insects, and fish are mentioned in this Book of Poetry?" ”

Shen Xuanden was dumbfounded. There are three hundred and five poems, and he can recite them backwards, but who would be stupid enough to count these types?

Seeing that Shen Xuan was deflated, Zhang Qian smiled silently, and Guan Feng next to him was also expressionless. They were a little unprepared by Sun Shao's question, and felt that Sun Shao was a little too cunning, not to mention Shen Xuan, even if he came to a doctor who studied the Book of Poetry, he might not be able to tell how many kinds of birds, beasts, insects and fish were mentioned in the Book of Poetry.

"Don't know, do you?" Sun Shao smiled proudly and asked again, "Okay, let's change to a simple question." Mo Yi must have read Guan Sui's poem, right? ”

"Needless to say." Shen Xuan gave him an angry look.

"Then may I ask, what does this dish look like? If you're in the market, can you be prepared to find the herbs without making the mistake of choosing the others? ”

Shen Xuan was stunned, he thought about it carefully, he had read this poem countless times, and he roughly knew what it looked like, but if he really wanted him to say it in detail, he really couldn't say it, according to what Sun Shao said If you go to the market to pick, there is a chance that you will pick the wrong one.

"Brother Shen is very knowledgeable, and the vegetables are also common things, you can't guarantee that you won't make mistakes, so a hundred years later, a thousand years later, how many people can know what this is talking about?" Sun Shao straightened his waist and sighed with emotion: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to distinguish leeks from grass when the time comes." ”

Shen Xuan's eyes rolled, and he laughed disdainfully: "These things are what farmers should care about, I don't know Jing Cai, and it doesn't affect my understanding of the sage's poetry, the farmer knows Jing Cai, he is still a laborer." ”

"That's the farmer's business?" Sun Shao sneered: "Okay, let's talk about some of the things that you superior people care about." Excuse me, what does your incessant saint look like? Is it really the same as a lost dog? ”

"How can a saint be a lost dog? That just shows that the saint is not tolerated by the world, and can only be confined to words. Shen Xuan was furious, "The appearance of the sage, the book clearly says, 'its style is like Yao, its items are like Gaotao, and its shoulders are like children', all of which are in the form of ancient sages." ”

"You're not bound to words?" Sun Shao sneered.

"Me?" Shen Xuan was speechless.

"Then you explain to me, what does Yao's forehead look like? What does Gaotao's neck look like? What is so grotesque about the shoulders of the child? ”

"Me?" Shen Xuan was completely speechless.

"You're embarrassed to say it's a saint's disciple." Sun Shao continued to beat the water dog, the disdain on his face became more and more heavy, he turned around and no longer looked at Shen Xuan: "There are all things in the world, how many are mentioned in the Book of Poetry?" You study the Book of Poetry every day, and you don't even understand how many things the Book of Poetry says, and you don't know anything about what the Book of Poetry says, but you fight for a few words, don't you feel bored? ”

Shen Xuan was mad at him, and he was a little speechless, and sneered: "Then according to the school captain's opinion, you don't need to read poems, but you should read some scriptures of mountains and seas?" ”

"What happened to the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Sun Shao asked rhetorically: "Do you know what the Classic of Mountains and Seas says?" ”

"I don't despise such vain books." The corners of Shen Xuan's eyes twitched, barely maintaining his last demeanor.

"If you don't understand, you don't understand, and you don't care about it." Sun Shao pursed his lips and added very calmly: "Master Youyun, 'Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing'." You don't know how to pretend to understand, what's it? Do you also call this the discipline of the saints? If the saint really wants to come back to life, I'm afraid he will have to be angry with you. ”

"Ahh
