readx;?“ These newly-built warships are indeed sturdy, and they are indeed fast, but stability is not necessarily possible. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info bigger the ship, the more so. In the middle of the river, it can barely work, but at sea, such a ship ......" Huang Chengyan shook his head and expressed his disdain for comment, the contempt that came out of his bones made Gan Ning angry, if it wasn't for Liu Xiu in front of him, he wouldn't have jumped up, and the bell rang, which ended in Huang Chengyan's life.

Several trainee boat masters around Liu Xiu were also indignant. Most of them are from Yizhou, and they also participated in the renovation of the new ship, and when they saw that this Jingxiang person lashed out at their hard work, they were naturally unhappy, and immediately contacted the regional discrimination, suspecting that Huang Chengyan was here to smash the field and destroy the prestige of the Yizhou people.

"Are you here to be a lobbyist for Liu Biao?" The overseer, surnamed Zhao, snorted and began to go online. It has to be said that putting a political hat on the opponent and putting the opponent at a disadvantage first is a habitual move that has been unfavorable since ancient times.

Huang Chengyan didn't even look at him, and his calm eyes fell on Liu Xiu: "General Che Cavalry? ”

Liu Xiu smiled slightly: "Just a micro-official, how dare you pollute Mr.'s ears, although there is a lot of river water, I'm afraid I can't wash Mr.'s ears." Come, come, let us not care about the mundane things, but about the ship. The gentleman said the ship ......"

The supervisor surnamed Zhao hurriedly reminded: "General, he may be ......"

"No, Mr. Huang is a hermit in the mountains and forests, how can he be in the same league with the so-called celebrities such as Liu Biao who deceive the world and steal their reputations. Don't think too much about it, let's listen to Mr. Huang about this ship. He turned around and admonished the trainee sailors with a look of disgruntle: "To do learning, you should be humble and good, and it is not the right way to hold on to the remnants." Confucians like Ren Dingzu and Zhou Shubu can abandon the old theories, you have only been doing studies for a few days, why are you so stubborn? ”

Seeing that Liu Xiu was displeased, the young trainee boat masters did not dare to insist any longer, and bowed down together to accept the order.

Huang Chengyan shrugged his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and took the model of the building ship from Liu Xiu's hand. Eloquent. "The reason why it is said that large warships are not resistant to wind and waves, the most significant thing is this ship. Because there are cabins on the ship, even as many as fourfold. The world only knows that the building ship is tall and mighty, and it shoots high. Rushing with the water, all invincible. But they forgot that above the rivers and seas, the biggest opponent is not people, but wind and waves. Once this kind of building ship encounters strong wind and waves, the disaster of capsizing is in front of you, even if there is an iron-armored crossbow. What can I do? ”

Liu Xiu's eyes lit up. The biggest problem of shipbuilding is stability, to be able to resist wind and waves, the current Yangtze River is much wider than the Yangtze River in later generations, the wind and waves are much larger, small and medium-sized warships are fine, but this kind of building ship is easy to be blown over by the wind. Although the improved building ship has been greatly improved, it still cannot resist strong winds and waves. Huang Chengyan just looked at the model and knew the shortcomings. Maybe there's a solution.

"Moreover, such a ship type can still be driven in places such as rivers and lakes where there are not many winds and waves. Once in the sea, the wind and waves increase, and the speed of travel is greatly reduced. He stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "At a glance, you can tell that the shipwrecks of Yizhou Shipyard have never seen sea ships, and they don't know the characteristics of sea ships at all." ”

"What are the characteristics of a sea ship?" A trainee boat master still couldn't hold back, and sneered: "Since Mr. Huang said so, he must have seen it." ”

"I do." Huang Chengyan laughed and compared it under the boat: "The bottom of the sea ship is pointed, so that the draft is deep." Not only is it smooth, but it is also conducive to breaking waves. ”

"Pointy?" The shipmaster smiled dumbly, pointed at Huang Chengyan, and shook his head at his companions, meaning that this person was talking nonsense at all, how could there be a pointed underneath the ship.

Liu Xiu was shocked. He remembered where he had gone wrong. He thinks he doesn't understand technical issues, so whether it is Jinyang School and Guan Middle School, or the newly built Chengdu School, he has always let the craftsmen explore it by themselves, and he does not mix it in and express his opinions indiscriminately, so as not to mislead. Whether it is new wine or glass, it is the collective wisdom of the craftsmen in the school, and his role is to provide a condition, and the solution of specific technical problems has nothing to do with him. The same is true of the transformation of the warship this time, he let the shipwrecks change it, but he did not put forward any constructive suggestions.

But Huang Chengyan's words reminded him of the characteristics of sea ships, and the representative feature of sea ships is the pointed bottom. Zheng He went to the West with the kind of pointed bottom sea boats, not the flat-bottomed boats used in inland lakes.

He just wanted to praise Huang Chengyan for what he said correctly, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, watching the young trainee boat master accuse Huang Chengyan, but Huang Chengyan disdained to refute it, until the wind boat master closed his mouth boringly, and then smiled: "Practice brings true knowledge, right or wrong, make a model and try it out." Mr. Huang, I don't know if you can give in a few days and help me improve it, so that they can open their eyes, so as not to be honest for Mr. Huang? ”

Huang Chengyan was a little hesitant, he was just on a whim, and he didn't plan to build a ship for Liu Xiu, and to be honest, he had seen a sea ship, but he had never built a sea ship, and he hadn't even made a model of a sea ship. Liu Xiu asked him to make a model for testing, what if it was going to be smashed? Shipbuilding is a very delicate job, but it is not something that can be done casually, and it is difficult for inexperienced people to start it.

He wanted to excuse himself, but after thinking about it, why not take this opportunity to look at the process model of Yizhou Shipyard. He had been to the Yuzhang shipyard known as the first before, but the Yizhou shipyard in front of him was obviously larger than the Yuzhang shipyard, not only the scale has become larger, but even the small changes in the layout of the various areas in front of him also seem to be much more reasonable.

Liu Xiu has been in charge of Yizhou for less than two years, how can such a big change happen?

"Isn't the general afraid that I know the secret of the Yizhou shipyard and go back to Jingzhou to do the same?" Huang Chengyan said euphemistically.

"If Liu Biao can use you, I don't object to it, then the Jingzhou Navy Division can pacify Jiangdong, and I don't need to send troops, why don't I do it?"

Huang Chengyan was a little emotional, and was thought of by Liu Xiu. Of course, it's not that Liu Biao doesn't want to use him, but he doesn't want to be used by Liu Biao, but the reason why he doesn't want to be used by Liu Biao is because Liu Biao can't let him go. If Liu Biao really has that kind of bearing, Jingzhou has many talents, and it is no worse than Yizhou, it is easy to defeat Sun Jian and defeat Yuan Shu, how can he fall into this field, to put it bluntly, Liu Biao can't make the best use of his talents, just recruiting talents on the surface.

"Okay, I'll make a model of a sea ship to open your eyes." Huang Chengyan said: "However, before that, I want to correct what the general just said. I am indeed a lobbyist, a lobbyist in Jingzhou. ”

Liu Xiu tasted the difference between Jingzhou's lobbyist and Liu Biao's lobbyist, and his heart was clear, so he naturally stepped forward and grabbed Huang Chengyan's arm, and warmly invited: "Mr. Huang, please, let's go sit inside, drink a cup of tea, and speak slowly." ”

Huang Chengyan was a little embarrassed by his enthusiasm, but his heart was warm. I have heard for a long time that Liu Xiu has never taken the initiative to associate with any celebrities, nor has he made a polite corporal like Liu Biao, as soon as we met today, although Liu Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard his name, but then he did not show obvious intention to recruit, obviously he did not have any idea of soliciting him, a famous man in Jingxiang, but only after listening to his views on sea ships, he became some interest, but it was only some interest. Judging from Liu Xiu's request for him to build a model to prove his point of view, Liu Xiu should not have fully believed his words.

Practice makes sense. Liu Xiu has not yet affirmed his ability, this solicitation is naturally not to talk about, and the current enthusiasm should also be out of love for the craftsman's art. I have long heard that Liu Xiu must have a workshop when he opens a school, which is very different from Liu Biao's opening of a school and only Confucianism, but for Huang Chengyan, a hermit who is proficient in the art of craftsmen, it is obvious that Liu Xiu's views are closer to him.

The two of them sat down in the hall, and they didn't say a polite word, Liu Xiu asked about Huang Chengyan's intention straight to the point. Huang Chengyan was not polite, told the current situation in Jingzhou, and said frankly: "The reason why I took the liberty to come here is that I don't want Jingxiang to suffer from the war again. It is hoped that the general can march into Jingzhou, quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and restore peace to the world. ”

"Liu Biao refuses to accept the order of my Che Cavalry General's Mansion?"

"Yes." Huang Chengyan said: "He also wanted to use the imperial court to check and balance the general's heart to divide Jingzhou, but the Jingzhou clan was already disappointed in him and didn't want to support him anymore." General, it is a good time to enter Jingzhou at this moment. ”

"Hehehe......" Liu Xiu shook his head: "What Mr. said, I'm afraid it's the mind of the Cai family, but it may not be the mind of the Jingzhou clan." As far as I know, Liu Biao not only relied on the Cai family in Jingzhou, but also the Ma family, the Pang family, and the Kuai family, including the Jiangxia Huang family, the Lingling Liu family, and the Yiyang Deng family, all of which were the objects that Liu Biao relied on. Even if they have the heart to return to the imperial court, they are afraid that this interest is also a factor that has to be considered. ”

Huang Chengyan saw that Liu Xiu said several big clans in Jingzhou in one breath, knowing that Liu Xiu was no stranger to the situation in Jingzhou, and he also knew what those big clans were thinking, so he nodded and said: "The general is reasonable, the first consideration of those powerful families is naturally interests, but there are also gains and losses in interests. When there are benefits to be gained, it is natural that the two benefits are more important, and when the interests are bound to be lost, it is the lesser of the two evils. If there is chaos today, Liu Biao is not a talent to control the chaos, he will only bring harm to Jingzhou, at this time, the first thing the major families have to consider is how to avoid greater losses, and then they can consider what benefits they can get. General, even if you don't give Jingzhou any benefits, at least you can keep them from being hurt more. ”

Liu Xiu looked at Huang Chengyan for a moment, laughed loudly, and suddenly changed his words: "Sir, I heard that you have a daughter, who is smart and clever, I don't know how old she is this year?"
