The two of them talked and wandered around until late in the evening, when they were done. Then, we rushed back to Huailing County together.

At the gate of the city, Tian Fan noticed two people who were going out of the city! An old man, with white hair and white beard, a ruddy face, a smile, and a coarse linen dress, which was not a samurai costume or a scribe's uniform, which Tian Fan had never seen. Beside him was a big man, with a full beard and a dark face, and he was very majestic. It's just that he has a scar across his face, like a big centipede, giving people an extremely vicious feeling, which makes the combination between him and the kind old man look very weird!

Tian Fan was looking at the two of them, and Yin Chao had already greeted him. He saluted the old man respectfully and said, "I have seen the old fairy!" The old man smiled, gave a hand, and said, "Merlin doesn't need to be like this! After that, he glanced at Tian Fan and asked Yin Chao: "Mo Lin, I don't know who this little brother is?" Yin Chao hurriedly pulled Tian Fan over and said to Tian Fan: "Tian Fan, this is the old fairy Yu!" Come and see you! Tian Fan was very puzzled, but he still gave a deep salute and said: "In Xia Tian Fan is polite, I don't know who the old fairy is?" The old man smiled and didn't answer, just looked at Tian Fan. There was an indescribable meaning in his eyes, as if he was surprised, as if he was exclamation.

Yin Chao hurriedly introduced two people to Tian Fan, the old man's name was Yu Ji, and that man was his apprentice Gong Chong.

Tian Fan was somewhat shocked, Yu Ji was the old immortal who killed Sun Ce in the romance! Tian Fan respectfully saluted again and said, "I don't know that the old fairy is in person, please forgive Tian Fan for being rude!" Yu Ji affectionately pulled Tian Fan up and said, "Hehe, there is no need for this!" You are Tian Fan who offered advice to fight the locust plague, right? Tian Fan nodded hurriedly and said, "It's exactly below!" Yu Ji looked at Tian Fan deeply and said, "I really can't imagine that my Han has such a character!" Tian Fan shook his head humbly and said: "Everything is just a flash of inspiration, and the old fairy can't be so praised!" Yu Ji said with a smile: "Early detection of locust plague, for thousands of years, has never been, almost has the ability of ghosts and gods, don't you deserve a word of praise from me?" Hehe. ”

Seeing Yu Ji's apprentice, that is, the burden on the big man, Yin Chao interjected: "Old immortal, are you leaving?" Yu Ji said: "Yes! I thought that there would be a large influx of victims in Xuzhou, and there would be a big epidemic, but I didn't expect it to be what I thought! Since Xuzhou can handle it, I don't have to stay here anymore! Yin Chao hurriedly said: "How did the old immortal go in such a hurry? Chao hasn't listened to the teachings of the gods yet! Yu Ji smiled and said, "Hehe, the old man takes it as his mission to save the common people, and I want to go where I am needed!" Since I was no longer needed here, I certainly wouldn't stay long. If it's fate, we'll see you again! With that, he nodded with Tian Fan and strode away with his apprentice!

Tian Fan and others gave Yu Ji a ride, and under the repeated excuses of the two, several people stopped. Looking at the figures of the two of them in the distance, Yin Chao said: "Yu Shenxian is really a good person, he heard that there is a large influx of refugees in Xuzhou, and he made a special trip to help prevent the epidemic!" Tian Fan asked puzzledly: "He knows how to heal?" Yin Chao smiled and said, "Medical skills!" While gossiping, the two hurried back to Huailing without mentioning it.

Yu Ji and the two of them were talking while hurrying on the road, and what they said would definitely make Tian Fan startled! The big man said: "Master, it seems that this Tian Fan is really the son of Yuan Jun (Tian Fan's old man Tian Liang)!" Yu Ji replied: "Not bad! You and I are familiar with his father, Tian Fan is very similar to Yuanjun twenty years ago! The big man smiled and said, "Hehe, I really can't think of it!" I haven't seen him for twenty years, and that guy already has such an old son! Yu Ji opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, just shook his head with a wry smile. Gong Chong looked at his master's reaction, let out a long sigh, touched the scar on his face, remembered the dispute twenty years ago that now seemed meaningless, and didn't speak again! …,

The two walked silently for a while, but Gong Chong couldn't hold it back, he said: "Master, I'm ......" Yu Ji glanced at him and said, "If you have something to say!" Gong Chong agreed and said, "Master, why can't I understand this Tian Fan's face?" Yu Ji stroked his beard and said, "Don't say it's you, it's me, I can't understand it!" Hehe, look at the face, this son should be short-lived, but ...... Take a closer look, but it is a sign of infinite wealth! It's weird! Gong Chong nodded, but suddenly smiled, and when he saw the master looking at him, he said: "Master, hehe, let's not worry, the disciple thinks that it is Yuanjun who should be worried!" When Yu Ji heard this, he also burst out laughing, nodded again and again and said, "Yes, hasn't this kid Yuanjun always disobeyed the means of the two of us to look at their faces?" Hehe, now he should be worried! The master and apprentice slowly walked away as they spoke.

The main industry of the Yin family is shipbuilding, the Tanglin Pavilion is close to the river, and the shipbuilding is convenient, and there are many lakes and rivers in Xuzhou, and a lot of food and materials need to be transported by boat, which gives the Yin family the opportunity to develop. It's just that their family has always only built some small boats for inland river walking, or boats used by Cao, and has never built a large warship.

Tian Fan stayed in Huailing for one night and chatted with Yin Chao for most of the night. Yin Chao's house is full of all kinds of strange things, most of which are made by himself. Tian Fan knew that he liked the work of those craftsmen very much, and his craftsmanship was also very good. It's just that the status of the craftsman at that time was low, and he would not go to be a craftsman. He put forward a request to Yin Chao to build a warship, mainly considering that Xuzhou is rich in waterways and is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the south, so there will definitely be water battles in the future. Tian Fan planned to persuade Liu Bei to build a navy, and to build a navy, a brand new ship was needed, and a boat that swam in the big rivers and rivers might not be able to adapt to it when it reached the sea! Since the Yin family has the ability to build ships, let them prepare in advance! He left Yin Chao a sketch, a design drawing of the Black Pearl!

Tian Fan's favorite movie in his previous life was "Pirates of the Caribbean", he had a comprehensive understanding of the Black Pearl, and with his memory, he could easily draw the various parts of the ship, as well as her main dimensions. He didn't have the delusion that the Yin family would be able to build the Black Pearl, because this ship was a seventeenth-century ship, and its design concept was advanced and the construction process was complex and unimaginable in this era! He just wanted to give the Yin family a little touch, hoping to give the Yin family some enlightenment on shipbuilding technology, so it was enough!

Yin Chao's family has been building ships for generations, and under the influence of this atmosphere, he has an extraordinary understanding of shipbuilding, which is close to the level of masters at that time. Seeing the drawings given by Tian Fan, well, it should be said that it was a picture silk! He shook his head, not to mention the shape of the ship, but a seemingly simple sail was beyond his comprehension.

"The ship in this picture, how can this sail be like this?"

Tian Fan looked at the picture and said, "The sail is a soft sail, which is different from the hard sail used now!" The advantage of this type of sail is that it has a lot of power and can give the boat a higher speed. The disadvantage is that sailing is difficult, difficult to grasp, and requires long-term exploration! Yin Chao looked at the drawings, frowned and shook his head repeatedly, and said, "Unthinkable! ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Mo Lin, your skills are so good, why don't you become a craftsman?" Yin Chao smiled, that is, he and Tian Fan can talk better, and he has a gentle personality, otherwise the two will definitely fall out.

"Hehe, craftsmen have a low status, and sometimes eating is a problem, how can there be a future as an official?"

Tian Fan shook his head and said, "Hehe, too!" Nowadays, people do not have enough understanding of the role of craftsmen, and there is really no future for being craftsmen! That's a mistake! ”

Yin Chao heard what he said and asked, "Huh?" Should the status of craftsmen be high? ”…,

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Yes, you think, the craftsman provided us with farming tools, war armor, a car to go out, dishes and chopsticks to eat, a house to live in, and clothes, shoes and hats to wear...... Shouldn't they have status? Hehe, there are people who are too low in quality, who use what others make, and turn around and despise craftsmen! Oh, I didn't say you, hehe! ”

Yin Chao listened silently, smiled, and didn't say anything more. The two talked for a while, and then went to rest.

Tian Fan's mouth moved, and then he ran errands again, and Xuzhou was blessed by misfortune! With enough food, the victims did not have to worry about starvation, and with appropriate epidemic prevention measures, there was no outbreak. The victims survived the most difficult three months until the rains in October. Almost half of these refugees are adult men, and only a few are with their families. These people came all the way to Xuzhou, and it can be said that they went through hardships, and most of the sick and weak people had died on the way. For the time being, these people are weak, most of them are half-dead, after all, the food provided by the Xuzhou government can only ensure that they do not starve to death, but after a year or two, when they are well cultivated, most of them are materials that can be pulled out to be soldiers! It can be said that Xuzhou has died in this locust plague!

In the past three months, the main cities have been greatly reinforced, such as Xiapi City, which not only repaired the walls damaged in previous wars, but even thickened and heightened the walls! With the addition of a large number of laborers, the size of the tuntian was nearly doubled, and many channels were dug in the corresponding land, and the old ditches were renovated, so that the irrigation system of several counties was greatly improved! Later, these 500,000 people have also become the wealth of Xuzhou, which will make a great contribution to Xuzhou's prevention of foreign invasion and foreign expansion.

Solved two big problems in a row, Tao Qian also smiled, and there were nearly 500,000 more people, which was a big fortune! You must know that the population of Xuzhou is only more than one million! Xuzhou has been ravaged by the Yellow Turban Army twice, and Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou twice, and the population suffered heavy losses. Among the five counties of Xuzhou, only Guangling County has not suffered from the ravages of these four disasters, which can be regarded as intact. Now what Xuzhou lacks most is people!

Among these victims who fled to Xuzhou, a considerable number of them came from Yanzhou, and even more people than Xuzhou lost when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou twice this year and last year. Cao Cao was also unwilling, he wanted to take care of it, but at that time, there were only three counties left in his territory, and he was confronting Lu Bu in Puyang, so he was powerless! When the locust plague occurred, Cao Cao ran out of ammunition and food, so miserable that he almost took refuge in Yuan Shao, but Cheng Yu persuaded him!
