The performance of the Great Qin people was very successful, causing a sensation one after another, and half an hour passed in a flash, and the audience was still unsatisfied, and they still surrounded them and refused to leave. The big man in the lead was so happy that he could almost see the back molars, and he sent out an invitation in the stiff Panyu dialect: "Ming Yujun will come again." ”

When he heard this, Sun Shao, who was drinking tea again, sprayed a mouthful of water on Zhuge Ke's face. Zhuge Ke looked gloomy, and he didn't dare to attack, so he had to secretly turn his head and wipe the water off by himself.

Why is this sentence so familiar? Déjà vu. Sun Shao didn't care if Zhuge Ke had any opinions, and smiled at Sun Shangxiang and the others, who were fascinated: "Isn't it good-looking?" ”

"Beautiful." Sun Shangxiang nodded again and again: "That Yi Niu's waist is really flexible, like a snake." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Sun Shao coughed again.

"Husband, will they still play tomorrow?" Guan Feng looked at the acrobatic troupe that had exited the stage and asked with some excitement.

"Act, didn't you see that Yi guy's eyes lit up?" Sun Shao took Guan Feng's hand and patted it gently: "Who can't get along with money, how can they have such a good business in Panyu." ”

Sun Shao didn't lie at all, although there are many people in Panyu, who has no family records? This kind of Yiren stuff, it's just a matter of looking at it occasionally, it's just like that every day, it's different here, the vast sea, you can't find a second kind of entertainment, while watching Yiren play tricks to solve the loneliness of the journey, while making friends and communicating information, what a good thing.

"That's great, these people's music is great, I like it." Guan Feng stroked his stomach, his eyes shining: "I think the baby seems to like it too, so as soon as it sounds, he is kicking me." ”

"If that's the case, I can't let him do it again tomorrow." Sun Shao frowned and sank his face, Guan Feng and Sun Shangxiang were a little surprised when they heard it, and heard Sun Shao say worriedly: "Don't tire my son." ”

"And-" Sun Shangxiang stretched out his voice and said disdainfully: "The son born to the two of you will be tired?" ”

"Okay, okay, auntie, let's go change clothes, the banquet is about to begin." Guan Fengqiang couldn't help but laugh and pulled Sun Shangxiang away.

Sun Shao walked down the Feilu with a smile on his face, and when he saw Shen Xuan looking at the audience gradually dispersing with a depressed face, he heard the sound of the stairs, he looked up, and quickly stood up straight: "General." ”

"What, upset?"

Shen Xuan nodded: "These people are open-chested and immoral, and it seems that the general should not let them stay on the ship." ”

Sun Shao looked at him amusedly: "Then in your opinion, will you go to teach them the Book of Poetry or the Spring and Autumn Festival tomorrow?" Otherwise, you play Shao music for them? ”

Shen Xuan was stunned, a little stunned. These people are either illiterate soldiers, or businessmen who only know how to settle accounts, and they tell them the scriptures of poetry and the Spring and Autumn Period, aren't they insulting the saints, and they are also happy? I've never heard of it myself. He heard what Sun Shao meant, smacked his lips, wanted to say but didn't know what to say, so he had to follow silently.

"These people are the most ordinary people, and what kind of noble pleasures can you expect from them? Isn't it just to open your heart and have fun, how can it be so serious, and there is also immorality? Do you really not know, or do you not know, what are those nobles in Jianye doing? Shi Xie, that old thing, he learned well in the Spring and Autumn Period, he is in his eighties, and he is still accompanied by three little girls who are so tender that they can pinch out the water, can he still stand up? ”

"But......" Shen Xuan was unwilling to defend again.

"But what?" Sun Shao interrupted him, and his eyes widened: "You are allowed to have three wives and four concubines, and no one is allowed to look at women?" You tell me honestly, have you been involved with the girl in the house? ”

Shen Xuan was speechless, a child of a family like him, who didn't have a few beautiful concubines around him? It's rare to see someone like Sun Shao. He opened his mouth, feeling that there was no reason to talk to Sun Shao, so he had to swallow his anger: "General, let's go, the banquet is about to start, and the guests are waiting." ”

Sun Shao snorted, and said as he walked: "You haven't drifted on the sea for many years, you don't know that kind of bitterness, how can ordinary people have the strength to take concubines?" Look at the woman, just relieve the cravings, at least you won't hold back the disease. I think this is very good, after you arrived in Jianye, remind me to ask the Supreme for some official slaves and maids, preferably the kind of woman with an official background, the best who can be proficient in singing and dancing, and raise a few batches. ”

"Whoa." Shen Xuan replied sullenly.

The scale of the banquet is not large, except for Sun Shao's family and a few cronies, it is a few guests invited, there are officers of the sailors, and there are also businessmen who are relatively strong, everyone eats together, talks and laughs, although it is not as lively as watching the performance, but it is much more elegant, like a high-class person. Whether it is an officer or a businessman, they are all inferior people who are looked down upon by literati and scholars, and now they can sit and drink and eat with Sun Shao, and they are all a lot more reserved, and their faces are a little colorful, although in the eyes of people like Shen Xuan, Sun Shao is not a superior person at all, and the Sun family is also a tasteless poor family, but in the eyes of these people, after all, they are superior people.

The fancy style of the dish is very good, the guests eat very mouthy, and very puzzled, the officers of the water division, the businessmen, most of them are very familiar with the dishes of Wudi and Jiaozhou, but today's dishes are neither Wudi cuisine, nor Jiaozhou cuisine, the taste is very good, but they are a little confused. They were embarrassed to ask, so they could only pay attention to themselves, ready to go back and ask others.

Sun Shangxiang ate a mouthful of fragrant food, her appetite was full, her stomach was a little supportive, and she was still not satisfied, before she returned to the cabin, she pulled Sun Shao and asked, "What kind of dish is this?" How come I never saw it? ”

"Of course you haven't seen the food in the palace." Sun Shao replied with a smile, a little proud.

"The palace? Which royal palace? Sun Shangxiang's eyes rolled, and he was suddenly a little worried: "I said Aman, you and Cao Ying go farther, although Erlang doesn't say it, but he is suspicious, don't learn from Sun Fu to get into trouble." ”

A warm current surged in Sun Shao's heart, although this aunt looked very aggressive, but this string was still very tight, always thinking about him, let him beware of Sun Quan. Sun Shangxiang said that Sun Fu was her brother, Jian'an five years, when Sun Ce died, he was a general of Pingnan, holding the history of Jiaozhou Assassin, and he deserved to be a heavy general. Because he had no confidence in Sun Quan, he wrote to Cao Ying while Sun Quan was out to patrol Dongye, but Sun Quan knew about it. Sun Quan rushed back to Dongye, pretended not to know, and went to see Sun Fu with Zhang Zhao, only saying one sentence: "Are you impatient?" "Just shut him up, and then divide up Sun Fu's strength. Two years later, Sun Fu died of depression.

"Auntie, don't worry, it's not from the Wei Palace." Sun Shao smiled gratefully, "It's from the Linyi Palace." ”

"Linyi Palace?" Sun Shangxiang's face slowed down, but he was still a little surprised.

"Well, it's a small country in the south of Nan County, in fact, it's not as big as our Wu County, one of my subordinates is a noble person in Lin Yi Kingdom, and there is a cook in the palace by my side, who was asked to come over. I went to prepare the ingredients a few days ago, so I didn't see you. ”

"I see, that's good." Sun Shangxiang nodded, regained his relaxation, and wiped his mouth: "I'll go up and talk to Feng Yatou for a while, and then eat some fruit." ”

Sun Shao smiled bitterly, Sun Shangxiang didn't leave, he couldn't go in and be with Guan Feng at this time, so he had to come out and shake it. Shuai Zeng and another personal guard, Ma Hui, followed, and the three of them walked slowly on the wide deck. The sea breeze is light, and the waves are blooming, lapping against the belly of the boat, making a whooshing sound. The huge size of the building ship effectively reduces the shaking, and the shaking of the hull is almost not felt in this kind of wind.

"Young master, I think you can ride a horse on it." Shuai Zeng chuckled softly.

"Horseback riding? A charge fell into the sea. Sun Shao pursed his lips, looked at his boat, and suddenly said, "How many horses can you think such a ship can hold?" ”

Ma Hui made a visual observation: "If such a large ship is not a warship, it should be able to load one hundred and fifty horses, because there are many soldiers on the warship, so the space is limited, a boat can only carry thirty horses, and there are fewer people on this ship, it should be able to load about seventy or eighty horses." ”

"In this way, if we go to Liaodong to sell horses, we must prepare a big ship."

"That's for sure." Ma Hui said with a smile: "It's not easy to sell horses in Liaodong, and you have to stop within the range controlled by Cao Ying. If they knew that the young master was carrying a war horse, they would definitely not let the young master pass. ”

Sun Shao smiled and did not speak. Ma Hui was the one who followed Guan Yu from Xuzhou back then, and he was more familiar with the situation there, he was right, although he had the pass given by Cao Ying, but Cao Ying would not let him transport the horse, which was one of Cao Ying's winning weapons. If you want to sell horses, you have to open another channel.

He knows that there is a channel in the sea from the mouth of the Yangtze River to the Liaodong Peninsula, but no one has done this in this era, if you want to sail from the sea, you must find a suitable foothold, you must be able to accurately locate in the vast sea, which requires a master who is proficient in astronomical astronomy, he only knows the general principle, but he is a black eye on the stars, and can barely know the location of the Big Dipper.

It's a pity that he sent Shen Xuan to ask Sun Quan to transfer Yu to turn over or Lu Ji to go to Jiaozhou, but Sun Quan didn't react at all, and the two of them haven't seen a shadow so far, so it's probably out of play.

"Who?" Shuai Zeng suddenly snorted, pulled out his knife with a click, and stopped in front of Sun Shao, his eyes staring at the mast in front of him. Ma Hui also reacted, turned around, and protected Sun Shao's back. Immediately afterward, the guards on duty not far away rushed over to this side. With a few clicks, the long knife was unsheathed, and in just a few breaths, the deck was murderous, like a great enemy.

"Yes...... It's me. A strange voice came from behind the mast, and then a shivering figure was pushed out by a strong guard. Sun Shao fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually the dancing girl in the Daqin Acrobatic Troupe, but now she had changed into a common summer dress in Jiaozhou, and at first glance, except for being a little taller, there was really not much difference from the Han people.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing that it was a woman, Shuai Zeng breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew the knife, and his tone was much gentler.

"I ...... I'm looking at something by the lamp. The dancing girl pointed to the lantern hanging from the mast, looked at Sun Shao and the others timidly, and lowered her head.

"It's not too early, go back to your cabin, is this where you came from?" Shuai Zeng sternly admonished: "I told you at the beginning, you are not allowed to run around after dark, otherwise you will be driven off the boat." Go back quickly. ”

"Yes, General." The dancer was relieved, turned and walked away. Shuai Zeng turned his head and smiled at Sun Shao: "Young master, it's the dancing girl." ”

Sun Shao didn't answer him, his eyes were staring at the deck under the mast, Shuai Zeng followed his gaze, and suddenly became furious: "These Yiren really don't understand the rules, this brand-new ship is actually scribbled, the young master is angry, I'll go find her and let her clean up." ”

"You go and get her, but be kind and don't scare her." Sun Shao waved his hand and squatted down beside the figure without raising his head. Shuai Zeng was a little surprised, but seeing that Sun Shao was fascinated, he had to go in a hurry. Sun Shao squatted on the deck, looking at the spiral that seemed to be an involute line, his eyes burning.

Although he didn't know what it was, he believed that this figure was by no means a random stroke, because it was so regular, and the person who drew this line seemed to draw it often, and the line was very smooth, and there was no jerky to see.

It didn't take long, with a rush of footsteps, Shuai Zeng came back with the dancing girl angrily, behind the dancing girl, followed by the head of the big acrobatic troupe, Sun Shao and he had met once, but the name was too long, he couldn't remember it.

"General, general, villain deserves to die, villain deserves to die." As soon as the big man met, he knelt on the ground, begging bitterly, and his blunt words revealed extreme panic: "It's the villain who doesn't take care of it well, the villain must wipe the boat clean, he must wipe it clean." As he spoke, he stretched out his sleeve and wiped the picture on the board.

"Wait." Sun Shao didn't have time to react and stepped on his arm. Ma Hui thought he was angry, and when he picked up the scabbard, he was ruthless, and the big man screamed. The dancer screamed and pounced, tears welled up, crying, but it was their own words, and Sun Shao couldn't understand a word. She lay on the big man's back, kowtowed to Sun Shao again and again, knocked on the plank, and her forehead bled within two clicks.

"You're too reckless." Sun Shao frowned, stopped Ma Hui, grabbed the dancing girl's arm, pointed to the picture, and asked word by word, "This ...... Be...... What the? ”

The dancer was bleeding from her face and panicked, and when she saw Sun Shao grabbing her arm, her teeth chattered with nervousness. But the big man was calmer, he saw that Sun Shao's face was not angry, just pointed to the figure and asked, and quickly shook the dancing girl, and said a few words, the woman came back to her senses, and said a few words, seeing Sun Shao's blank face, he hurriedly said in Panyu dialect: "Ah ...... Greg...... Rice...... Mead...... Line. ”

"Akimie's line?" Shuai Zeng and Ma Hui glared at each other: "Who is Akimi?" He then became annoyed again: "You barbarian is not honest, it is clear that you painted it, and you still rely on Akimie." ”

"Get out of the way." Sun Shao raised his hand to block Shuai Zeng's raised fist, his eyes rolled twice, and he suddenly said in surprise: "You mean, Archimedes?" ”

"Huh? Ahh The dancer was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"Damn." Sun Shao patted his forehead, smiled, he bent down to help the two Great Qin people, arched his hand, stretched out his hand, and smiled very politely: "Please come inside to talk." ”

The two were taken aback, looked at each other, and had to cautiously follow Sun Shao into his reception room. Sun Shao asked people to serve tea, brought some snacks, and asked Shuai Zeng to find a doctor and a craftsman to clean the wound on the dancer's forehead. After all this, he took out a piece of paper and spread it in front of the dancing girl, and handed over the charcoal pen he had drawn: "You, draw another Archimedes line." ”

The dancer took the charcoal and touched the piece of paper, feeling very sorry. She had seen this kind of paper when she was in Panyu, but it was too expensive for her to buy at all. The young man in front of him looked very rich, because he still had a thick stack of such papers in his hand.

She made up her mind, and quickly redrew the curve on the paper, adding another straight line. Painted some of them black, and finally pushed them back in front of Sun Shao. Shuai Zeng and Ma Hui looked at this strange picture, confused, they didn't know what it meant, and why did the young master look so fascinated. But with their understanding of Sun Shao, they knew that this must be unusual, otherwise Sun Shao would not be so excited.

In fact, Sun Shao didn't know what this thing was, he only knew that Archimedes was a great Greek scientist, and these two people came from Rome and knew that it was entirely possible for Archimedes.

"What does that mean?" Sun Shao watched it for a long time, but he still didn't understand, so he had to humbly ask for advice.

"This is the Archimedes line, Archimedes said, draw a circle with this line, it should be three times the size of this black." The dancer stammered, "But I don't know why." ”

Sun Shao blinked, knowing what it meant. However, he only knew what the proposition of this Archimedes line was, and how to prove it, he still didn't know anything. What he knew was that no matter what the geometry of the dancing girl in front of him was, he had finally come into contact with the culture of another great empire in this era, although only a little.

"Who are you?" Sun Shao turned his head and said to the big man.

The big man looked up: "Me? I'm her brother. ”

"You're his brother?" Sun Shao smiled dumbly, he saw that the big man's face was black and vicissitudes, thinking that he was her father. He smiled and said, "Who among you people understands this?" After thinking about it, he added: "Any skill other than acting is fine."

"In addition to her, there are ...... A soldier who fights a war, a boater, and one who can cook. ”

Sun Shao scratched his head and put on a smiling face: "Have you had dinner?" ”

"Just ate it, and I'm getting ready for bed." The big man smiled humbly.

"Bring them up, and I'll give you tea." Sun Shao smiled: "No problem, right?" ”

The big man's eyes widened with joy and nodded again and again: "No problem, no problem." With that, he ran away in a puff of smoke. Sun Shao said to the dancing girl again: "You, do you still know any such pictures? ”

"I've got a book with a lot of them."

"That'...... Can you lend me a look? Sun Shao smiled like a wolf grandmother.

The dancing girl shuddered, nodded nervously, and ran quickly with a long skirt, not for long, those Daqin people all ran over, nervous and excited to stand in front of Sun Shao, Sun Shao had already let people serve tea and snacks, warmly beckoned them to take their seats, and after a while, the dancing girl walked in front of Sun Shao with a roll of sheepskin like a family heirloom, and carefully spread out the sheepskin, which was full of characters and geometric figures, Sun Shao didn't have time to identify it, anyway, whether it was Roman or Greek, he didn't know it, But when he looked at the geometric figures, he knew that he had picked up the treasure.
