Liu Feng didn't care about the disdainful gazes of the boatmen around him, because this ship was definitely cross-era. In modern times it is called a ship, but in ancient times it was called a car ship.

It was an invention of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, centuries ahead of the average warship of this era.

The principle is to use wheels instead of pulp. Four wheels instead of paddling, with the pedaling force of the feet, instead of the shaking of the hands. This is a great reason for the superiority of warships of this era.

Because the warships of this era have no sails, and the sails are just a burden when they are in war. Generally, warships sail on the river, they are propelled by pulp, and the lead in power represents the lead in speed. If you have speed, you can cross the river. Run riot.

If Gan Ning used this kind of warship, he could directly cut into Sun Quan's hinterland, and even directly attack Jianye.

The only drawback is that such ships are used for warfare, and they are limited to warfare on the river, and cannot travel to the sea.

However, Liu Feng didn't need this kind of warship to sail into the sea, as long as he used it to suppress Sun Quan.

However, the gaze of these boatmen still made Liu Feng feel a headache, how to tell them that the role of this ship is very great.

Liu Feng's headache didn't last long, because there was a boatman who was frowning, carefully observing the sketch. It is the first-class technology of Guangye.

After looking at it for a long time, Guangye raised his head, frowned and asked Liu Fengdao: "My lord, this is really creative to install wheels on the ship, but how to make it move?" ”

"It's like a horse-drawn carriage on land, either pulled by a man or pulled by a horse." Guangye asked very seriously, and did not disdain this picture.

Liu Feng was pleasantly surprised that someone knew how to appreciate it. Then the study of this car and ship is probably much easier.

Moreover, Guangye's problem has mentioned the core issue. What to use as a powerhouse.

"With the power of the feet, it is like a waterwheel on dry land, and you can use the power of the feet to drain the water. Let the car and ship move. In order to achieve the purpose of rapid navigation. I was delighted in my heart, and Liu Feng also explained in detail.

Immediately, he said, "My picture is on two wheels." If it's the full version, it should be on four wheels. Two on the left and right. And this wheel of pulp should have eight pieces. ”

"It's weird." Guangye's eyes were very bright when he heard this, and he reached out and touched his beard, and said strangely. After a pause, Guangye wondered again: "This, how to convey the foot power?" ”

"That's why I'm looking for you, I don't understand, I need you to study it." Liu Feng smiled slightly. Just kidding, Liu Feng has only seen pictures of this kind of warship, and there is no real thing at all.

This one. Liu Feng's statement made Guangye a little surprised, but then he was relieved, Liu Feng was too guarded, how could he build a ship. This thing called a car and a boat may have been imagined by a whimsical idea.

It's a great idea, though. Put the boat on wheels like a wagon. Looking back, Guangye was full of praise for Liu Feng's creativity, waterwheel? How on earth is this ship to be built?

Guangye fell into deep thought, and Liu Feng looked at Guangye with very reliable eyes, and he really deserved to be the best shipwright in Jingzhou. The old man had two brushes.

Travel.

Both of them fell silent one after another, but their conversation startled the boatmen around them.

"Elder Guang, this ship, this ship can be built?"

"yes. Oh, yes. I don't think it's weird in this ship monster, and it doesn't seem to be useful. ”

"This dress seems useful, but isn't it a carriage that can walk on the river with wheels?"

Talking nonsense, in the field of technology, these people have temporarily forgotten Liu Feng's identity, and they say that it is impossible and do not believe it.

"Damn." Kou Shui, who was standing next to Liu Feng, was furious in his heart, others may not know, but he knew that this sketch was drawn by Liu Feng himself, in Kou Shui's heart, this was designed by Liu Feng, it must be useful, this group of boatmen with limited skills actually said that this picture was useless, and insinuated that Liu Feng was whimsical.

Kou Shui's eyes erupted at the same time, and he quietly put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

This group of boatmen, unaware of their imminent death, were still talking over there. While Liu Cover looked at it calmly, he felt a trace of cold murderous aura.

couldn't help but look back and saw Kou Shui's hideous face.

"Don't be impulsive, I'm going to build this ship from them." Liu Feng's heart jumped, and he hurriedly reassured.

In Liu Feng's opinion, it doesn't matter if this group of shipwrights doesn't believe it, in the end, they still have to obey orders and study vehicles and ships according to his instructions.

It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now, when the ship is built, it will be able to run on the river. At that time, it will be this group of boatmen whose jaws will drop to the ground.

Liu Feng didn't care much about it, but Guangye felt a headache at the miscellaneous discussions around him, and he was a little dissatisfied with these unbeliefs.

What a great idea, Taishou-sama is really imaginative. But being trampled by these mediocre people is really a sin.

"Shut up." An angry rebuke couldn't help but blurt out from Guangye's mouth.

For a moment, the surrounding boatmen fell silent, and they looked at Guangye inexplicably.

"You little bunnies, why are your minds so unclear, just because this carriage can walk on the road doesn't mean that you can't walk on the water. If you look at the eight-sided pulp on this wheel, as long as the wheel turns, this eight-sided pulp can replace the wood pulp and push the water forward. And the strength of the feet is much faster than that of the arms. The old man promised that if this ship was built, it would be the world's first-class clipper. Rampant across the river, no one can match. The more Guangye spoke, the more excited he became, and after he finished speaking, he raised his head and hugged his fist at Liu Feng and said: "My lord is really wise, if this ship is built, it will be enough to make my lord's name go down in history." ”

Liu Feng wanted to say that this ship was not something he came up with, but was made by a person in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. However, where to explain the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

So his face was calm, and he did not deny it or agree.

But this is in Guangye's heart, that is, Liu Feng acquiesced. While admiring in his heart, he shouted that it was a pity, if someone with such a mind as Liu Feng came to build a ship, he would definitely be better than these mediocre people.

Thinking about it, Guangye glanced back at the boatmen behind him and expressed dissatisfaction.

Guangye is the most skilled shipwright in this group of people, and he is also one of the shipwrights with the highest reputation in Jingzhou, his prestige is not worth mentioning in front of Liu Cover, but it is very useful in front of this group of shipwrights.

was reprimanded by Guangye like this, plus a sideways glance. The boatmen suddenly turned off their voices, but their minds were alive.

Can this ship really be built? And can you drive fast? If you want to say that the shipwrights who killed before don't believe that this ship can be built, but after Guangye said this, it is different.

Guangye's reputation is very big, and he agrees with it, that is, it will definitely be able to be created.

Suddenly, the boatmen put away their contempt for the sketch and stepped forward to study it. From time to time, some people cast awe-inspiring glances at Liu Feng.

These boatmen are just a little uncomfortable with this strange-looking boat, but the professional skills are still there.

After careful study, I feel that Guangye's judgment is very reasonable, and this dress is really creative. For Liu Feng, who can think of a wonderful boat, he naturally sighs and is highly intelligent.

When Liu Feng met the gaze of these boatmen, he felt a little unbearable. When I borrowed this car and boat, the fox faked the tiger once.

Cough.

Liu Feng said helplessly in his heart, and seeing that Guangye was already fascinated, he didn't want to stay here longer, just like making Chu knives, Liu Feng was technically difficult to support these shipwrights.

Too much to say and more to be wrong. When the time comes, it will be troublesome to be asked. It's better to leave it to a professional boatman to study and build. Wait for the car and ship to come out, and let Gan Ning equip the whole army.

Thinking in his heart, Liu Cover smiled and said, "I will hand over this ship to you to build, and after it is built, everyone will be rewarded." If you have any requests, you can directly ask Zhang Sima, and he will try his best to meet you. Saying that, Liu Feng turned his head to this Zhang Gu and said: "They are arranged by you, you don't need to build a ship, you just need to study my car and boat." ”

After a pause, Liu Feng said again: "By the way, this Xiakou is a ferry port for stopping ships, not suitable for shipbuilding, you can build a water village on the edge of this Xiakou." Let them build ships over there. ”

"No." Zhang Gu saw that Liu Feng personally designed the warship and took care of this group of shipwrights, so he immediately felt distracted in his heart and nodded in response.

"Thank you for taking care of me." Guangye also hugged his fists and thanked Liu Feng for taking care of them, whether it was the attention when they met, or the thoughtfulness of the arrangements later, they all made Guangye feel extremely important.

Moreover, the so-called "car and boat" on the sketch he also looked at the itch and wanted to study it. I also want to really help Liu Feng in my heart.

However, shipbuilding is not a simple matter.

After a pause and a moment of thought, Guangye said apologetically: "It's just that this ship is very strange, but it is unprecedented, and it must be very troublesome to build, and it will take a lot of time." ”

Originally, Guangye paused, Liu Feng thought it was difficult, but now it takes time to hear it. Liu Feng suddenly put his mind at ease, he lacked everything else, but he could afford to wait for the warship.

The purpose of building this kind of warship was only to counter the Jiangdong naval army. In comparison, the development of the Chu knife is more urgent. That can be related to the fact that during the First Battle of Chibi, his purpose was to save the Gan family.

Liu Feng's heart flickered, but his face was not obvious, and he nodded with a smile: "It's okay, as long as you are confident that you can make it, there will be no problem in a year or two." Relax. ”

Liu Feng's assurance, as well as soft words. Let Guangye completely let go of a trace of scruples in his heart, he is an old man with a lot of experience. Naturally, I know that the authority of the Lord is not to be offended.

If you are not careful, you will be killed. This is also one of the reasons why he just reprimanded those boatmen who did not know the height of the sky.

Now that he has received Liu Feng's time guarantee, Guangye's heart immediately became angry, and he decided not to eat or drink, but also to turn this sketch into a warship within a year.

"Thank you for your understanding." The old man of Guangye bowed deeply to Liu Feng.

"Huh. When you come with good news, I'll take the first step if I have something. Liu Feng smiled slightly and said.

"Slow down, adults." Guangye bent over.

Liu Feng glanced at it, turned his head and walked out, even taking Zhang Gu, Kou Shui and others away, but the group of Chaisang boatmen brought by Liu Feng stayed.

These two groups add up to thirty or forty people, and they will have to rely on them to build ships in the future.

Soon, Liu Feng led everyone out of the courtyard. Before boarding the carriage, Liu Feng turned his head and said to Zhang Gu: "Try to be as thoughtful as possible, let them build ships with peace of mind." ”

"No." Zhang Gu nodded in response.

I have told him two or three times before and after, and I believe that Zhang Gu also listened to it. Liu Feng got into the carriage with peace of mind.

Soon, Liu Feng entered the Taishou Mansion. All the accommodation Zhang Gu has been arranged properly, and it will not distract Liu Feng.

"My lord, do you want to stay here a little longer?" In a guest room in the front yard of the Taishou Mansion, Kou Shui asked. Kou Shui saw that Liu Feng had arranged the shipwright's affairs in three or two times, and thought that Liu Feng would soon order to return to Xiling. Unexpectedly, he stayed.

Kou Shui was a little puzzled.

"Well, now Gan Ning is still unloading his baggage in the waters of the Yangtze River in Xiling County, and he will return in a day or two. I want to meet with him and discuss the training of officers and the recruitment of the navy. Liu Feng nodded and said.

The navy controlled the Yangtze River, and the infantry army controlled the city. The division of labor is clear, and now in Jiangxia, the infantry generals include Huang Zhong, Deng Ai, Chen Da, Zhang Gui and other generals.

And the navy only has Gan Ning and Zhang Gu, although Shi Chang is a good person, but he is not an orthodox sailor. Rather, it was the infantry general.

In this way, the navy will be more lonely. Even if a warship is built, it will be difficult to compete with the Jiangdong naval army, and officers must be trained, or some famous people must be used as Gan Ning's deputies in the future.

Who should I look for? Jingchu and Jiangdong are two extremes, Jingchu has many mediocre generals, and Jiangdong has many famous generals. Now Huang Zhong, who can be used in Jingzhou, has been recruited by him.

There are basically no talents. Not to mention a good naval general.

It seems that it is time to set your sights on Koto. Speaking of the generals of Eastern Wu, Liu Feng thought of four people. Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun.

These four talents are the real commanders of the army, and they are all experts in waterway warfare. The rest of the people, such as Gan Ning or Zhuge Jin, are either fierce generals or pseudo-generals.

Of these four people, three of them have been loyal to the Sun clan for many years and are not available. Only Lu Xun seems to have a little chance.

The key is that the Lu family and the Sun family are feuding. The Sun family killed a lot of people with the surname Lu. But the Lu clan is a big clan in Jiangdong and has strong power. Sun Quan married Sun Ce's daughter to Lu Xun, and then made Lu Xun a petty officer.

Where? Liu Feng couldn't remember it a little.

Wait, Sun Ce's daughter, isn't she Da Qiao's daughter? Little Joe is in his house now. In other words, now Lu Xun is his nephew and son-in-law?

Perhaps, the opportunity is quite large. Liu Feng's eyes lit up a little. I was still a little glad in my heart, fortunately Cai Yu was a hindrance, and he and Xiao Qiao had a relationship, otherwise Lu Xun's relationship would have been broken.

to repent of the green intestines.
