After Mao Geng got on the boat, he sat in the cabin and said nothing, his heart was extremely nervous, and sweat continued to ooze from his palms, for fear that a gang of fierce and vicious people would emerge in front of him, so he stopped the boat mercilessly and arrested himself, and then he would be thrown into the Great Song Dynasty prison that did not talk about human rights at all, and entered the prison of this era.

Seeing Mao Geng's extremely nervous expression, Fuguo Tie wanted to talk to ease Mao Geng's feelings at first, but Mao Geng was absent-minded, but he was thinking about whether the killing rod was the thickness of the bowl or the thickness of the wrist, and it would never be the thickness of the thumb anyway. If the wrist is thick, your body can still withstand three or five sticks, and if the bowl mouth is thick, I'm afraid you will have to go on the road with one stick.

Along the way, I only heard the sound of the river and the sound of my own heartbeat, and I felt much more nervous than the violent turbulence of the thunderstorm on the plane in the later life.

It wasn't until the Fuguo Railway dragged Mao Geng off the boat that Mao Geng felt a little steady, just like the crazy plane in the air 6 is a feeling.

Mao Geng's mind was a little calm, with the Fuguo Railway to move forward, thinking that he would soon be able to reach the destination, and then he looked at the river and walked forward, and he knew that he had to take a boat when he asked, but this dangerous shoal was turbulent, and the second brother of the third sister of the Dun family and the three boatmen stayed on the boat, they wanted to hold the boat and rush through the rapids, and the Fuguo Railway and two subordinates took Mao Geng off the boat on foot, until they crossed this dangerous beach, and then boarded the boat at the gentle river in front.

Mao Geng paid attention to it, but saw that the river surface suddenly narrowed, the drop increased sharply, and it coincided with the rising water season, which made the river rush down. The waves splash on the river, the whirlpool is continuous, the boat suddenly drifts left and right in the river, the bow of the ship is high one moment, as if it will capsize at any time, and the next moment the bow of the ship sinks rapidly, as if it wants to go straight to the bottom of the water. When I looked at it again, the boat rushed out of the waves again, Mao Geng just breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately there was a series of thrilling actions, replaying the danger just now, Mao Geng saw that his heart was about to hang, it felt like a roller coaster, and he almost screamed. Fortunately, the downstream river has become wider and wider, and the water flow has slowed down, so there is no danger.

A boat downstream went against the current, and when it came here, it could no longer move by oars, so eight people got down from the boat and began to pull the fiber, and the slender man shouted the trumpet, and took heavy steps, and pulled the boat upstream little by little.

The last time Mao Geng took the waterway from the county seat to Baixi, he also got off the boat a few times and crossed the dangerous shoal and then got on the boat, but those dangerous shoals were far less dangerous than here. Mao Geng sighed in his heart, this water boat is really dangerous, no wonder Meishan can defend against danger, and the Great Song Dynasty sailors are categorically useless when they arrive here. Since it is impossible to rely on the benefits of water and Xinhua, and Xinhua is mostly lofty mountains, it is reasonable that the Great Song Dynasty cannot capture Meishan.

When he got on the ship again, Mao Geng asked about the Fuguo Railway about water transportation, and the Fuguo Railway knew a limited amount, so he called Dun Erbao into the cabin to talk to Mao Geng. This section of the river is gentle, and it is downstream, three boatmen can operate the boat, there is no need to worry about Erbao, and Erbao is happy to talk to Mao Geng.

Dun Erbao is young and handsome, but his face is a little dark, perhaps because of the long-term sailing in the sun. Dun Erbao did not wear Yao clothes, but a Han costume, just now the boat was walking through the waves, the clothes were wet in many places, and the wet clothes were attached to the body, showing a body of tendon meat.

Mao Geng remembered the thrill of the rapids surfing, and he had palpitations, so he said:

"Brother Dun is just --- that boat rushed through this rapids, so it was not thrilling! It's still a small boat, and if it's a big ship, wouldn't it be even more dangerous! I don't know how big a ship can be in this water? ”

Don Erbao smiled absentmindedly, and said with a big sting:

"I'm sailing in this river, counting this year is already six years, this section is nothing, I haven't taken it seriously."

Mao Gengxin said that this young man's heart is high enough and he is proud enough.

Don Erbao continued:

"Luotan over there in Anhua is more thrilling than Cai, there are countless things that wreck the boat and kill people, but it is not difficult for me, with my ability, crossing Luotan is also a common thing. I originally asked my father to build me a big ship that could transport 200,000 catties of charcoal at a time, but my father refused, saying that the big ship crossing Luotan was dangerous and abnormal, and I was afraid that someone would have an accident, and I was afraid that the boat would be broken. Even if a person falls into the water, it is okay for a big ship to cost, but it is a trivial matter for the coal to give up, and if the boat is gone, it will be a big loss. Therefore, my big boat has not been completed, and now it is the largest boat on the water, hum! It can hold 100,000 catties of charcoal. ”

Fuguo Tie interjected:

"I heard that the people in Luotan don't farm, and they rely on capsizing boats all year round, damn it! This cannot be said. ”

Fuguo Tie rashly said the word "capsized", and immediately realized that he had committed a taboo, and immediately smacked his mouth.

Who knew that Erbao smiled and said:

"Brother Fu, I don't pay attention to that here. I'll finish it for you, the people there in Luotan all rely on the capsizing of the boat, and when the boat has an accident, the goods on the boat float all over the river, and they rely on this wealth. In addition, the boatman who saved the overboard can also get a sum of money. The people on the other side of Luotan rowed small rowing boats, and at most there were dozens of small rowing boats! As soon as he saw that there was a boat in the river, something was wrong and something was going to happen, so the small rows on the beach surrounded him to save people and pick up property. Of course, people also talk about conscience, the first is to save people, and the second is to pick up things. ”

Mao Gengxin said that the so-called thief also has a way, and Meishan Man also pays attention to the bottom line of being a man by relying on water and draft, which is much better than the black-hearted shipowner who will not save him in later generations.

Hearing this, Mao Geng had a good impression of this Erbao, this person seems to be still too two, and he can't simply be attributed to a simple-minded person with four limbs. After looking at it, Dun Erbao became a sunny boy in Mao Geng's eyes, well, it's worth helping.

Xinhua here charcoal to be shipped out to make money, and, their own future burning cement, relying on Xinhua this market must not be full, but also have to be shipped out, relying on manpower and animal transportation of course far less than water transportation, or to find a way in water transportation, otherwise the freight alone will be terrible, but I am afraid that the outside world can only be afraid of high-priced cement.

A ship can only hold less than 100,000 catties, that is, six tons of coal, considering that there is a risk of capsizing in Luotan, when the ship goes to the coal empty, even if the people are fine, it will be a loss.

The method of dredging the river is not feasible, the cost of controlling the river is huge, and the pitiful tax in Xinhua is not enough to see at all.

However, Mao Geng immediately remembered a report that he read in later generations, which was a story about the Baoqing Gang seizing the wharf in Hankou, and the report said that the Baoqing Gang were all fierce sailors, and they fought for their lives in the dangerous shoals with woolen boats.

This woolen boat only arose during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, and I don't know which master came up with a trick to create a legend in the history of world shipping.

The so-called woolen boat is actually a kind of disposable boat, from a distance the woolen boat is no different from an ordinary boat, and the woolen boat is extremely rough when you look closely, because the material used in the woolen boat is the pine wood that has just been sawn down, and after sawing into a thick board, it is nailed together with yard nails, which is considered a ship. The gap between the board and the plate is hastily smeared with tung oil lime, which is considered to be leak-proof treatment, what is repaired and polished, painted and so on are not done, the whole is a one-time use carrier, the leak-proof of this ship is of course unreliable, and there will be water leakage while sailing, but there is a special person to scoop water outward, but it is not a big problem, just run the boat. When the coal was transported to Wuhan, the mission of the woolen ship was also over, and the yard nails were knocked out, and it became a pile of wooden planks, which were sold directly as wood in Wuhan, which was really used to the fullest.

This can be called a classic case in operations research, Baoqing (that is, Shaozhou at this time, including Xinhua) here is full of pine trees, no need to dry, cut down and directly nailed into a big ship, shipbuilding can be described as extremely simple. And because it is a one-time use, what is dry and carefully made is saved, and the cost is extremely low. After arriving at the destination, the ship is directly dismantled and turned back into planks, and you can make a lot of money on the wood.

The loading capacity of the woolen ship is generally more than 100 tons, and it can be loaded with up to 200 tons, which is much larger than other ship types in the water, because other ships can be called fixed assets, and they naturally have to be used repeatedly. If the ship is too big and faces such a large drop in the water and the dangerous shoal, how many slender men will it take!

In this way, the use of disposable wool ships is the most economical and practical method for water shipping, and the cost is that the safety is greatly reduced, but compared to its low shipbuilding cost and double the carrying capacity, as well as the incidental sale of timber, it is worth it.

Mao Geng was not sure if there was a precedent for woolen ship shipping at this time, so he tentatively asked Dun Erbao, of course Dun Erbao had not heard of this, however, Dun Erbao did not believe that a boat could be transported on the water, his Dun's boats were made of good wood, to be dried for several years, and then carefully built, before it could be transported into the water.

Mao Gengxin said that people have tried it, and it is very easy to use. But it's useless to tell this guy Dun Erbao, as long as it is built, this guy Dun Erbao has the guts to be the first to test the ship. Sure enough, Mao Geng took the words and beat his chest, and immediately agreed to it, as long as this kind of woolen boat is built, if you dare to build it, he will dare to try!
