This month for Wanghai City, the biggest events are a total of three, the first is that Lord Dragon God can speak, the second is the successful development of the steam engine carriage, the third is Cui Lan's return, and bring back a strange beast, for Lin Bei, the second thing is obviously much heavier, the third is second, but for Wanghai people, the first thing is the most important, because anything related to Lord Dragon God is the most important.

The success of the development of the steam engine in a very short period of time to see the effect, a wing ship installed a steam propeller, using the coal transported back from the coal island in Linbei as fuel, under the meticulous craftsmanship of the craftsmen, the speed of the steam ship reached an hour of seventy miles, an hour of thirty-five miles, this speed can not be said to be very fast, but it is definitely not slow, especially in this era.

The use of steamships allows the people of Wanghai to conquer more distant seas, the fountain island that is about two hundred miles away from Wanghai City is the first to be conquered, when there are no steamships, everyone thinks that this island is so far away, more than two hundred miles, now there are steamships, that is, three or four hours, so everyone feels that this island is so close, as if it is on the edge of Wanghai City.

However, with the expansion of the sea area, the more time the Wanghai people have to contact the deep sea, the greater the desire for large boats, because small boats are too dangerous in the deep sea.

There are not many things that a small boat can carry, there are very few supplies, and a wave at sea has to be several meters, and a small boat can be overturned lightly, and if it is replaced by a large boat, it will be much better, so there is no need for Lin Bei to specifically instruct. Under the demands of fishermen, craftsmen have begun to develop large boats, and the length of five zhang can no longer be regarded as a big boat, at least twenty or thirty zhang, right?

When the craftsman was building a ship, the fishermen inevitably had to talk about the dolphin brought back by Cui Lan, this big guy was so cute and smart, the Wanghai people used almost all the words of praise on this dolphin, and a few days ago there was a small incident, which made the Wanghai people's love for blackheads Cheng Dù a notch higher.

A group of children went to the beach to play, and one child was accidentally carried into the sea by the tide. The black head rescued the little kid with his hand. On the beach, it is precisely because of this incident that all Wanghai people like blackheads a little more.

At the same time, Cui Lan's fame in Wanghai City has also increased greatly because of her black head. has surpassed the fame of Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi. Isn't Bian Ji a dragon god envoy? Cui Lan has now also been added to the name. Called the dolphin make.

Whenever Cui Lan rode out to sea on a black head, many fishermen would keep watching with envy, and these people hoped that Cui Lan could domesticate dolphins the most. Because maybe they'll get a dolphin too

Compared with Wanghai City, the situation in the Central Plains region in the last month was quite calm, and Liu Hong, who many people were most concerned about, was still alive, but all kinds of news came out of Luoyang City, and every news was good for the heroes, because Liu Hong's body was getting more and more unbearable, and it was said that the emperor was already as thin as wood, and anyone could see that he was dead, but he died early and died late.

But because of this, the situation seemed calm, and even the war between Cao Mengde and Zhang Jiao's brothers did not progress much, Cao Mengde didn't know what to think, Zhang Jiao was defended, and Cao Mengde did not attack, and fell into a stalemate.

Xun Yu was very dissatisfied with this, but unfortunately Cao Mengde had obviously made up his mind, and he didn't care about Xun Yu's opinion at all, according to the original history, Xun Yu would become Cao Mengde's effective strategist, but because of this incident, there was already a deep rift between the two, and whether Xun Yu would join Cao Mengde's team again became a mystery

Zhen Ping led people into the city lord's mansion in the barbarian city, and he came to sell bicycles to the barbarian handsome this time.

For the Zhen family, they have never considered the matter of the barbarian entering the Central Plains, and the Zhen family has not invested in the big barbarian, even if the big barbarian is now in full swing, and he has faintly divided one side, which can be said to be the most powerful candidate now, and the reason for this is because of the barbarian identity of the barbarian.

The families of the Han Dynasty were all arrogant, except for the Han people, all other races were called barbarians, and barbarians wanted to be emperors? Don't be funny, the families will not agree in the first place, so Zhen Ping guessed that Lin Bei was suspected of wanting to pit the big barbarians, Zhen Ping stood on Lin Bei's side without hesitation.

Zhen Ping is not the first time to enter the city lord's mansion, when he moved from Hepu, Zhen Ping has already seen the barbarian once, although he looks down on the identity of the barbarian, but in Zhen Ping's eyes, I have to admit that this barbarian is indeed a person with quite leadership skills, the courage is very good, it is very easy to convince people, and it belongs to the kind of leader with high personality and courage, but the more this is the case, the more Zhen Ping wants to help Lin Bei, or not to help Lin Bei, but for the self-esteem and pride of all the families in the Han Dynasty, a barbarian wants to press on the head of the Han people? How is this possible.

Hearing that the shopkeeper of the Zhen family was coming, the handsome man came out of the house to greet him, Zhen Ping was also an old fox, and he would not reveal any thoughts in his heart at all, so the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and then talked about business.

"What is this thing called a dragon bicycle? It's a strange thing. Manshuai looked at the bicycle with some interest in his eyes, Manshuai didn't think of the connection between Shenlong and Lin Bei, because in Manshuai's heart, Lin Bei was just a demon snake.

And after Zhen Ping introduced the advantages of the Shenlong bicycle, the interest of the handsome was even greater.

If Lin Bei saw the bicycle sample that Zhen Ping took out, he would definitely be amazed, because this is almost the same as the bicycle of later generations, and even the basket has been added, but not in the front, but in the back, one on one side, you can place some things, but the pedal is sealed with a wooden board, so that people can see the structure of the bicycle at a glance, and there is already a sense of secrecy, in addition, Zhen's craftsmen have a very high level of technology, and the bicycle made is more exquisite.

Zhen Ping praised the bicycle to the sky, what speed is extremely fast, all kinds of road surface like walking on the ground, and easy to ride, no need for food and grass, in short, this bicycle is much better than horses.

It's not that easy to fool around, but the bike is really good. After Zhen Ping sent someone to ride around the City Lord's Mansion for a few laps, the handsome eyes were shining, and this kind of delicate thing entered the eyes of the handsome, especially when he heard that a bicycle only needed hardware, the handsome man was moved.

Horses were quite scarce in the South Crossing, ox and sheep carts were the mainstream, and there were too few things that sheep carts could carry, and although ox carts were much carried, they were slow and the price of cattle was quite high. A cow is as high as nearly 100 gold. Now the bicycle only needs one piece of hardware, which is quite handsome and unmoving.

"If this bicycle were to equip the whole army, it would come and go like the wind, like the cavalry. These two baskets can be used to store some dry food and clothing. Even the baggage can be omitted. Quite handsome, such a strange thing, my Zhen family thought of you first. Now it depends on whether he is handsome and has vision and courage. Zhen Ping said with a smile.

Manshuai very politely sent Zhen Ping out of the city lord's mansion, and then held a meeting to discuss the purchase of bicycles, hearing Manshuai's description, his generals were also moved, in fact, they don't blame these people, but bicycles are not a product of this era, although simple, but the level of science and technology is more than a thousand years ahead, they will be tempted and normal.

With the unanimous consent of almost everyone, Manshuai and Zhen Ping ordered 50,000 bicycles, Zhen Ping first appreciated Manshuai's vision, and promised that it would be completed in a month.

If it is a military horse, let alone a month, even if it is a year can not produce 50,000 heads, the most famous military horse in this era is Dawan good horse, Dawan exports only one or two thousand military horses to the Han every year, this number is already very much, if Dawan encounters any natural disasters or man-made disasters, the number of military horses will be reduced, now there are 50,000 bicycles a month, and the price is lower than that of military horses.

With Manshuai ordering bicycles, the major merchants in Mancheng also heard the news, and went to Zhen's Commercial Bank to inquire about what this bicycle was, Zhen Ping naturally would not let go of this opportunity to show off, and organized some people to ride bicycles around the city for a day, and the entire Mancheng was a sensation.

Countless people compared military horses with bicycles, and finally came to the conclusion that the ability of military horses is definitely better than bicycles, but the price and convenience of bicycles are completely explosive military horses, in terms of output, it is to throw off countless streets of military horses, once large-scale equipment in the army, infantry may become history.

The merchants' business sense is so keen, the merchants in the barbarian city are crazy because of the bicycle, but the Zhen family strictly guards the bicycle-making method, and the people in the barbarian city only see the endless production of bicycles, but they can't get a piece of the pie for the time being.

There is a reason why Zhen's made zuò bicycles so quickly, and Lin Bei came with a big gift package, that is, assembly line operations.

The so-called assembly line operation allows everyone to specialize in making a certain part, with the same specifications, and then assemble these parts, which is a means used by factories in later generations, but now there is not, Wanghai City is not counted, Zhen is the first to try this method, and the effect is surprisingly good.

Bicycles have set off a boom in the city, everyone in the city is talking about this new strange thing, even three-year-old children have known that there is a car called the dragon bicycle, you can run on it, the speed is very fast, it is foreseeable that with the increase in the number of bicycles, this boom will extend to the Central Plains, the chaos will arise, this new type of transportation will be favored by the candidates, so as to rise in the world

Huang Chengyan is now more and more satisfied with Shan Fu, and after a few days of contact with Shan Fu, Huang Chengyan even thinks that this Shan Fu is far beyond Sima Zheng's disciples/sons in terms of talent and temperament, even Zhuge Kongming and Na Pang Tong Shiyuan.

Huang Chengyan actually has the character of an old naughty boy, so one day he came to find Sima Zheng and Pang Degong and talked about these students, these three people are old acquaintances, so they have no worries about talking.

To Pang Tong and Kong Ming, Sima Zheng and Pang Degong did not hesitate to praise, one is a phoenix, the other is Wolong, when it comes to Shan Fu, Sima Zheng is rarely silent, and then shook his head and said: "This Shan Fu, the old man is a little incomprehensible." ”

"Why?"

"This talent is very highly educated, not inferior to Shiyuan and Kong Ming, with a straight temperament, he is a great talent of the country, as for his ambition, the old man can't see through it." Pang Degong also commented.

Zhi refers to ambition, that is, the pattern, in fact, Sima Zheng and Pang Degong are not unable to see through, but they are not good at evaluating Shan Fu.

Kong Ming and Pang Tong's ambition is very big, they are ambitious in the Quartet, but this Quartet actually still has a range, that is, Han Tu, the two Confucians feel that with the talent of these two people, whoever comes out of office, they are all good talents of the country, this country refers to the Han Dynasty, but compared with the ambition of Shan Fu, the ambition of these two people seems to be smaller, because Shan Fu's ambition is not only in Han Tu, but also in Fanbang, so to speak, if Han Tu is compared to a village, then Pang Tong and Kong Ming's ambition is in the village, these two people want to assist a Ming lord to support him as the village head, But Shan Fu's vision is outside the village, and even Sima Zheng and Pang Degong don't know much about things outside the village, so it's not easy to evaluate.

If Shan Fu is a boastful person, Sima Zheng and Pang Degong may be compared with Zhao Kuo, but Shan Fu is obviously not this kind of person, this pattern is beyond the scope of what the two can evaluate, so they can't see through it.

The reason why Shan Fu is like this, naturally it is related to Lin Bei, when he was in Xishan Township, Lin Bei and Shan Fu talked a few times, and sometimes they couldn't help but talk about the current situation, Lin Bei admired and disdained the heroes of the Central Plains, what kind of ability is it to fight around in a Han Dynasty? Isn't it just a nest? If you have the ability, you will lay down the surrounding Fanbang.

It is precisely because of the influence of Lin Bei that Shan Fu's pattern is no longer in the Han Dynasty, he is determined to be the real Quartet, Sima Zheng and Pang De are both honest people, and they will never casually open their mouths to evaluate a person they don't know very well.

Isn't it a good thing that the pattern is bigger? How do you look at this score, anyway, as far as these Confucians are concerned, it's too big and not very good, the entire Han land is already quite vast, and a person who can sort out the affairs of the Han land is considered a talent for Guan Le, such as Kong Ming and Pang Tong, as for those Fanbangs, please, it will take decades just to walk once, how can you understand this? However, these great Confucians would definitely not have thought that in their lifetime, they would find that the original Fanbang was actually not too far, and they could walk back and forth in a few days, and at that time, they would also find that their pattern was too small.

There's a saying that doesn't go like that: It's not that I don't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast (to be continued......
