"Third son, you let the eldest prince and Li Xianling plant chrysanthemums together. Will the eldest young master be bullied? Zhao Yong stood facing the sea breeze, and there was some uneasiness in his voice.

Zhao Jiaren had a headband tied on his forehead, and the part of the headband tied at the back of his head was fluttered by the sea breeze. With strong joy, Zhao Jiaren replied loudly: "Li County Linghe and those people in the county who entered the Shi family don't feel bullied, that's good." ”

Zhao Yong had a puzzled expression on his face. In his opinion, the eldest son Zhao Jiaxin is humanistic and elegant, and he doesn't like to cause trouble. This kind of person faces a group of strange guys, and the chance of being troubled by others is extremely high. Why is the third son's view so different?

Zhao Jiaren completely left the matter of his eldest brother behind at this time. After all these years, this ship was the first wooden vessel he owned alone. Even in the prodigal years in North America, Zhao Jiaren could only charter a boat. Fortunately, after the financial turmoil in 08, the rental fee for luxury goods such as sailboats fell sharply, and Zhao Jiaren was very happy for several years.

The ship, with a displacement of more than 100 tons, was once broken in the wind and waves and almost sank into the sea. Fortunately, with the guidance of the Fuqing Lighthouse, the lucky one ran aground on the beach. At this time, it had been repaired to the extent that it could sail, and Zhao Jiaren and the sailors sailed to Fuzhou. The shipyard was contacted in Fuzhou, and the ship will be overhauled in Fuzhou. Within two months, Zhao Jiaren could own a wooden boat that he had designed himself. This feeling was so good that Zhao Jiaren didn't want to think too much about anything else at this time.

"Flip the rudder!" Zhao Jiaren shouted.

"Flip the rudder!" The sailor standing between the deck and the cabin shouted.

"Flip the rudder!" The helmsmen also shouted.

Faced with this situation where command basically relies on roaring, Zhao Jiaren rolled his eyes. He wanted to be angry, but after a while, Zhao Jiaren cracked his mouth and laughed happily. What a rewarding job it was to transform such a broken thing into a sailboat with the characteristics of the 17th century Age of Discovery. If this ship is already excellent, where can Zhao Jiaren's ability be shown?

Zhao Jiaren commanded the big ship to ride the wind and waves and keep moving forward. Li Yong, the county magistrate of Fuqing County, looked at Zhao Jiaxin with an embarrassed face and pointed out the country. This is really pointing out the country, Zhao Jiaxin has spent half an hour evaluating the land in Fuqing County. Too much gravel in a certain area will cut the root system of chrysanthemums, too high a water level in a certain area may drown chrysanthemums when the water rises, and a lack of soil in a certain area will make chrysanthemums unable to take root and sprout at all......

Is this a very ordinary chrysanthemum? Or do you want to grow some amazing flowers, plants, poisonous snakes, and beasts? Li Yong completely understood at this time. But Zhao Jiaren will be the financier of Li Yong's better political performance, and it is not easy to offend. Even if it's for money, Li Yong has to persevere. Everyone is a scholar, so Li Yong used the kung fu of 'hearing but not hearing'. As long as you are a scholar, who has not had such a practice in the face of the teacher's chatter?

In Fuzhou, Zhao Jiaren listened carefully to Xu Yuanzhi's speech, "Jiaren, do you know how the big ship of this dynasty was disposed of?" ”

"Please also ask Xu Zhizhou to give advice." Zhao Jiaren had a serious expression on his face, and he was really ready to listen to Xu Yuanzhi's opinion.

Xu Yuanzhi told Zhao Jiaren a little that the ships of the Great Song Dynasty needed to be registered. Even if it is an official like Zhao Jiaren, his ship must be registered. Once registered, it is necessary to seek sailors from the families involved in the armor protection at the place of registration.

The main purpose of this method of protecting the armor is to provide a legal basis for joint sitting. If something goes wrong with the ship, these armor families are responsible. While families who are unconsciously involved in criminal behavior do not suffer particularly severe punishments, the practice is at least psychologically stressful.

In addition to the system of ship registration and the employment of sailors, Xu Yuanzhi also raised another important point. The ship is to be on the edge.

The ships of the Great Song Dynasty, such as those on the Fujian Road, were divided into ten waves, and each wave spent a year participating in the border work. Even if the owner could find a way not to go to the border, at least the ship could. In addition, the policy of the imperial court provided certain official positions and benefits to the owners and crew members of the ships participating in the garrison, and the sea ships on the Fujian Road were not particularly resistant to the garrison.

After listening to Xu Zhizhou's time to explain, Zhao Jiaren also understood a lot. Zhao Jiaren had heard this knowledge piecemeal, but because he didn't have the opportunity to participate, he only knew the surface. After Xu Yuanzhi finished speaking, Zhao Jiaren fell silent. He still needs to think about how to deal with the system.

"I had the boat checked, and it was time for the ship to reach the border. This time it almost sank, and the shipowner didn't want to trouble. That's why it's sold to you cheaply. Xu Yuanzhi said.

"That'...... Xu Zhizhou felt that it was better to do it. Zhao Jiaren had an expression of asking Xu Yuanzhi to take responsibility.

Xu Yuanzhi replied with a reasonable expression: "As a county lieutenant, you have the responsibility to catch thieves. This ship happens to be in your name and is used to hunt for thieves. I will approve a document, and you will catch thieves to defend the border. It only takes one round in ten years, and if you catch thieves in the past two years, the next time you will fight the border will be eight years later. ”

Looking at Xu Yuanzhi's courageous attitude, Zhao Jiaren nodded hurriedly, and said gratefully: "Thank you Xu Zhizhou." ”

This is not hypocrisy, Zhao Jiaren is really moved in his heart. The Great Song Dynasty was a civilized country with culture, and the barbaric semi-slave regime of the Manchu Qing Dynasty certainly couldn't compare. Although he is not an expert in history, Zhao Jiaren also knows very well what virtue the braid dynasty is. Officials call their superiors 'adults' and kneel down at every turn.

In the Great Song Dynasty, adults are honorific titles for parents. Confucius said that when the etiquette is lost, the Chinese people ask their parents, 'Are you here?' And he kept the original intention of the adult. Zhao Jiaren calls his superiors, which means calling his surname + official position. I claim to be me, at most I am a 'lower official'. Kneeling is an extremely important etiquette, and you will not kneel anywhere at all.

Such a civilization is not only a high level of civilization of the people, but also a high level of civilization of the people and officials. Including the official family, they also call themselves 'I' or 'I'. The barbarization and hypocrisy of Chinese culture began with the literati of the Yuan Dynasty......

Retracting the divergent thoughts, Zhao Jiaren discovered the root of the idea. If you have a boat, you have some chance to turn all this around. Although it was just a long march at this time, Zhao Jiaren found that he was also a little unclear in his thinking. However, Zhao Jiaren knew one thing very well, if Zhao Jiaren was in the Manchu Qing at this time, he would definitely not have considered whether to save the Manchus.

Without waiting for Zhao Jiaren to follow his train of thought, Xu Yuanzhi continued: "Jiaren, you can also find the county errand first for hiring people. At this time, you go to Fujian Road to mention the prison Song Ci. He cares about this. As for the ship, it is still registered in Fuzhou. ”

After saying these suggestions, Xu Yuanzhi began to drive people away. Zhao Jiaren was naturally not stupid enough to annoy Xu Yuanzhi, he sent a few insecticide chrysanthemum mosquito coils, and hurried to do something. The Great Song Dynasty was a centralized dynasty, and the reason why it was so evaluated was that officials were not managed by superiors, but directly by the central government. One of the central authorities' evaluations of officials is whether they do things. Each official has his or her own duties and responsibilities. Their job is to solve problems.

The gourd monk judged the gourd case, which was a characteristic of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Great Song Dynasty, it was Bao Daren who was circulated. That's a ruthless character who is blown into judging cases during the day and interrogating ghosts at night. In the real Song Dynasty, the officials are so busy during the day.

got the advice of Xu Yuanzhi, who was in charge, and Zhao Jiaren went all the way to various yamen to do things. In the evening, Zhao Jiaren tiredly went to the ship repair yard. When the shipyard owner saw Zhao Jiaren coming, he asked, "Zhao Guanren, where did you get your pen?" ”

When Zhao Jiaren was in Quanzhou, he saw someone selling graphite, so he bought it, mixed it with clay, and then fired it into a lead core. The outside is sandwiched by two semicircular hollow wooden sticks resembling pencils, which are wrapped around strips of cloth. It is used to draw on bamboo paper, and the lines are black and thin. Craftsmen are knowledgeable, and they go straight to the core. Zhao Jiaren smiled, "I made it myself, if the factory owner can see it, I will bring some to the factory owner next time." ”

"That's great." The factory owner was not polite. After saying this, he pointed to the drawing and continued: "Zhao Guanren, look at this drawing, the drawing is also an expert. But there are so many mistakes in this picture that I don't dare to do it. ”

Because he was telling the truth, the tone or attitude of the factory owner was very convincing, which made Zhao Jiaren can't help but have some doubts about himself. But recalling the ships he had personally participated in piloting, as well as the drawings he had seen, Zhao Jiaren, who had made the alterations, forcibly regained his confidence.

"I can trust the people who draw them, and they can't be wrong." Zhao Jiaren said decisively.

Seeing Zhao Jiaren's firm attitude, the shipowner hurriedly explained: "Zhao Guanren, I'm not saying that you believe the wrong person. There are too many mistakes in this picture, you look at this rudder, you can't move it at all......"

One by one, it was not until late at night that the factory owner finished talking about the problems he had seen. Zhao Jiaren was very grateful to Qi Ye for introducing this factory owner to him. It is not easy to find the owner of such a cow and say that the owner of the factory repairs the ship to Zhao Jiaren. The business of such a factory owner is busy every day, and those who have nothing to do with it can just wait slowly in the team. Zhao Jiaren said with joy: "Factory owner, I know what you said. Please also follow the drawings to change the boat, I am very sure that you will change this boat! ”

"It's not going to work." The owner immediately refused, "If I change a boat that can't be driven at all, my reputation will be completely ruined!" I won't take it. ”

"Don't! Other! Factory owner, so be it. You just change it as I say, and if you change it, you can't open it. I will pay the money, and I will dismantle the boat with you, and I will never let you be ashamed. I'm not not convinced, but it makes sense. Zhao Jiaren tried to find a compromise between the two sides.

Hearing Zhao Jiaren's attitude so firm, the factory owner couldn't help but ask: "What's the reason?" ”

Zhao Jiaren was stunned, and he couldn't make sense. Or don't want to be reasonable. Seeing that Zhao Jiaren didn't mean to explain, the shipowner suddenly laughed, "I see!" The master behind Zhao Guanren was afraid that I would steal his craftsmanship. ”

Zhao Jiaren was broken by someone, and he was also embarrassed in his heart. is just thought to be behind the guidance of a master, Zhao Jiaren also feels a lot more relieved. Then Zhao Jiaren listened to the factory owner say happily: "Since the person behind Zhao Guanren is afraid that I will steal the craft, Zhao Guanren will not look for that master to change the ship." Then Zhao Guanren don't embarrass me. I won't take this business. Please take the drawings well! ”
