At Chen Dexing's house, Guo Fu'er, the pretty girl, had just come back from the Materia Medica, and she heard the cook at home talk about Wang Rong'er accompanying Chen Erlang to shoot geese this morning. I was immediately surprised and wanted to go to Chen Dexing's study to find out. But when I walked outside the door, I was restless again, and I really wanted to leave quietly, so I heard Chen Dexing's voice coming out of the house.

"It's done, it's finally done."

What became of it? The pretty lady suddenly became curious, no longer hesitated, pushed open the door and looked inside. Inside are Chen Dexing and Wang Rong'er, but the lonely man and widow seem to have achieved nothing. I saw Chen Dexing lying on the desk, as if he was holding a root in his hand...... Goose feathers, what is written on a piece of paper that covers the table?

And Wang Rong'er was crying and grinding ink with her face. The little girl is really unlucky today, she went out early in the morning to buy paper and goose for Chen Erlang, and she was responsible for plucking the feathers after she bought it. This girl is also stupid, not slaughtered the goose first and scalded it with boiling water and then pulled it out, but pulled it alive, and as a result, the big white goose resisted, chasing the little girl and pecking with her mouth. In the end, Chen Erlang stepped out and shot the big white goose with an arrow, saving the little girl Wang Rong'er...... Uh, or almost killed Wang Rong'er with an arrow! At least that's what it looks like to the little girl.

"Mother, you're back!" Chen Dexing heard the movement, looked up and saw the pretty girl, and his brows suddenly expanded.

"Back to ...... It's back," Guo Fu'er looked at this adopted son who stood up like an iron tower and was only seven years younger than herself, and couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart. "Second brother, what are you busy with?"

"Drawing."

"Draw...... Draw!? ”

Guo Fu'er seemed to be a little incredulous, and there was a slight look of surprise on her face. She only knew that her adopted son was good at martial arts and the art of war, but she never knew that he could also paint. Curious, she took a few steps to the desk and looked up. Where there is a painting, it is all straight lines, horizontal and vertical, long and short, put together.

"This is...... Is it a boat? ”

Guo Fuer tried to identify it for a long time before she recognized Chen Dexing's painting as a boat. A rather slender boat, with no sails, but with an abnormally large amount of pulp. Only half of the ship's side was covered by planks, but the other half was uncovered, revealing two decks and erected partitions......

"Why is this ship missing half of its planks?" Guo Fuer asked curiously.

Chen Dexing smiled: "This is the plan of shipbuilding, and when the battleship is built, there will naturally be no shortage of shipboards." As he spoke, he took another picture from a chair next to him and spread it out to Guo Fu'er, "Mother, this is how the child's boat will be after it is built." ”

When Guo Fu'er saw it, she smiled again and said, "Second brother, why did this boat capsize?" ”

It turned out that this picture depicted the bottom, bow, side, and top view of the ship. Chen Dexing didn't even leave the house all day today, so he lay on the desk and drew some drawings with a quill pen. In addition to drawing the structural drawings and renderings of a three-story paddle battleship, the structural drawings and renderings of the torsion stone generator were also drawn. In addition, with the help of memory, a map of the world was drawn, and the latitude and longitude and trade winds were drawn......

"What is the use of these diagrams?" Guo Fu'er asked again.

Chen Dexing glanced at the pretty lady and said with a smile: "These pictures are priceless treasures!" ”

"Priceless? Isn't it worth more than Wu Daozi's paintings? Guo Fu'er half-jokingly.

Chen Dexing nodded heavily and said with a smile: "That's natural!" ”

The paintings of Saint Wu Daozi can be sold for sky-high prices in the auction houses of later generations, even in the Song Dynasty at this time, they are already worth a lot. However, Chen Dexing's world map shows continents and islands that have not been discovered by the civilized world so far, which are worthless after more than 700 years, but now, they are indeed priceless! Chen Dexing knew very well that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, so he was ready to draw all the maps, charts, ship and weapon designs he knew, so that they could be put to great use in the future.

Guo Fu'er shook her head with a smile and said, "Second brother, you must be tired after a day of painting, right?" You're still wounded. ”

Chen Dexing smiled, "Don't worry, I have to copy the diagram of this three-layer slurry battleship and the torsion stone generator today." That's right...... Mother, do you know what carpenters, blacksmiths and coppersmiths are in Yangzhou City? ”

Guo Fuer said: "This is a lot, there are craftsmen with outstanding craftsmanship everywhere in Muxing Lane and Tongtie Street, and there are also many craftsmen with good craftsmanship in Yangzhou Metropolitan Institute and shipyard. Second brother, what are you looking for them? ”

"Make a model...... It was based on the drawings to create a three-story paddle battleship and a torsion stone generator with reduced size. Chen Dexing drew a drawing of the three-layer battered battleship with one finger, "and then dedicated it to the Privy Council together with the drawings." ”

Chen Dexing's recent visit to Jia Nidao was not a boastful talk, but it was really feasible, and it was not difficult to implement it - at least it was not difficult for him, a soul traveler who had been a senior seafarer in his previous life and was also a lover of model aircraft manufacturing.

Guo Fu'er frowned again, and said: "This is all the work of a craftsman, you are a military attaché, how can you do these unpopular things?" ”

"Not in the stream?" Chen Dexing shook his head with a smile. In fact, the income and social status of craftsmen in the Song Dynasty may not be low compared with those of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but they still cannot be compared with scholars. Only the thinking of reading high was established in the Song Dynasty. Chen Dexing's status as a military attache is certainly not as good as that of a civil official, but he doesn't know how much higher than a craftsman.

"Mother, if you don't know the day, you will invite a few carpenters to your home, and you will start working on models at home." Chen Dexing didn't plan to let the craftsmen bring his drawings back, not only because he was afraid of leaking secrets, but also because he was worried that those craftsmen would not be able to read the drawings.

In addition, he planned to hire a carpenter to make a batch of drawing and surveying tools. Including rulers, triangular rulers, compasses, calipers, parallel rulers, protractors, sextants, rectangular rulers, and more.

Guo Fu'er frowned, and just wanted to persuade her adopted son to put her mind on being an official, but the voice of the housekeeper Wang Ji came from outside.

"Ruren, Erlangjun, Senator Liao from the Pacification Division is here."

Liao Yingzhong is here!

Chen Dexing and Guo Fu'er glanced at each other, and quickly stood up and adjusted the robes on their bodies, "Mother, the child is going to greet Liao Shibo." ”

Guo Fu'er said: "I'll go with you for my mother." Then she instructed Wang Jidao: "Wang San (doesn't Ji mean three), hurry up and go to Qionghualou to order a table of wine and food." ”

After the order was finished, Guo Fuer and Chen Dexing went out to greet them, but saw Liao Yingzhong, who was wearing a cardigan and a square bucket hat (named Dongpo scarf), already standing in the courtyard, smiling and looking at Chen Dexing and Guo Fuer who came out of the house.

"The little nephew has seen Liao Shibo."

"The slave family has seen Mr. Liao."

Chen Dexing and Guo Fu'er both gave gifts to the visitors, invited Liao Yingzhong to the hall, and Wang Rong'er brought a tea set up - the tea ceremony of the Song Dynasty looked a bit like the Japanese tea ceremony of later generations, brewing the tea powder with boiling water, and stirring it quickly with a small broom-like thing while brewing, so that the tea powder was fully mixed with the boiling water, which is called "ordering tea". It was Guo Fu'er who ordered tea for Chen Dexing and Liao Ying today, and judging by her skillful gestures, she was obviously proficient in this. I don't know if it's a business need on weekdays, or is it to learn to pass the time?

After ordering tea, Guo Fu'er retired and did not participate in the conversation - although she is a widowed mother who has been in charge of the family for many years, the head of the family is still Chen Dexing, and it is already a bit unruly to order tea.

"Rong'er, go to the study and pick up the paintings I made today, which are the ones on the desk." After a few pleasantries, Chen Dexing and Liao Yingzhong exchanged a few words, and then instructed Wang Rong'er to go and get the drawings of the warship and stone machine he had drawn -- the world map had already been collected, and this was the biggest secret, and it should not be shown lightly.

"What? Draw? ”

Liao Yingzhong was already a well-known bibliophile at this time, and he also studied calligraphy and painting, but it was the first time that a martial artist asked him to appreciate his own calligraphy and painting.
