446 Two melons

When Pan Wu first entered the Tianjue Mountain Range, he wanted to destroy the thieves in the mountain. Later, due to various things, the extermination of the bandits was limited to the vicinity of the camp.

Cangshan County is the most rampant place for bandits in the Great Jiang Country, for three reasons, first, the two large counties near Cangshan County are the granaries of the Jiang Kingdom. Suffice it to say that these two counties support more than eighty percent of the country's tax revenue.

Second, there is no government in Cangshan County. The reason is that they have been killed, and they will kill one by one, and they will kill as many as they come. Jiang Shimin wanted to clear out the bandits in this place, but he couldn't, every time the soldiers came, all the bandits hid in the Heavenly Absolute Mountain, even if there were war eagles and hounds, they were useless, and it was difficult to track them at all.

Third, the geographical conditions of this place are excellent, it is some distance from the country, and it is far away from various battlefields, and the whole county is surrounded by mountains. Either way, it is inconvenient for the officers and soldiers.

However, the thieves were very happy with such geographical conditions, and they passed through the mountains to be granaries, killing and looting at will, and then retreating into the mountains.

Jiang Shimin did not hide Pan Wu's meaning, and explained in detail the geographical conditions of Cangshan County in the booklet, describing it in detail from all aspects. On the last page of the booklet, there is also a note that because thieves are rampant, it is impossible for the people of Cangshan County to escape, so they can only be oppressed by thieves.

After reading the booklet, Pan Wu immediately thought of the land of three mountains, Cangshan County is very similar to that place, they are all mountains forming a lonely land, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Closing the booklet, Pan Wu asked Ergua: "That's all?"

Ergua asked, "Mr. finished reading?"

"Pretty much. ”

Ergua thought for a while and said, "The people of Jiang Kingdom know what the situation is in Cangshan County. ”

Pan Wu shook off the booklet and asked, "It's not all enough?"

"It's complete. ”

Looking at Ergua's expression, Pan Wu thought about it seriously: "All the people in Cangshan County are thieves?"

Ergua showed a surprised expression, looked at Pan Wu and said: "It can't be said that all people are thieves, but many people in many places are forced to be thieves." ”

Pan Wu smiled: "With a population of more than 80,000, how many people are there?"

Ergua replied: "At most, it was about 200,000, and later it was the official army several times, and many people left Cangshan County." After a pause, he said, "I can't count the more than 80,000 people now, which is the number I counted three years ago." ”

Pan Wu laughed: "A country within a country......? Old ginger is also too miserable. ”

Ergua had a serious expression on his face, but he didn't answer.

Pan Wu asked: "You tell me directly, how many killings can Cangshan County and the mountain bandits do in a year?"

Ergua thought about it and replied: "It depends on whether the barbarian soldiers go south and whether the Qin soldiers go north." ”

The meaning of this sentence is that if there is no war in Jiang Kingdom, the thieves of Cangshan County can be much more peaceful. If war breaks out, they will also rebel.

Speaking from the facts, it is really uncomfortable to encounter such a group of thieves.

Pan Wu asked: "According to your emperor's intentions, Cangshan County is for me?"

Ergua replied respectfully: "The will is very clear. ”

Pan Wu smiled: "I want to think about it." ”

"I also ask Mr. Pan to take the order. Ergua bowed his head slightly and led people away.

Watching these people slowly leave, Pan Wu thought back to the situation when he came back more than a month ago. They almost followed the Tianjue Mountain back to camp, and on the way they did not notice that it was surrounded by mountains. After thinking about it for a while, he summoned a silver feather and took him to Cangshan County to see what was going on.

I've been passing by before, but I didn't care. This time, I watched carefully and found that Cangshan County was really unusual.

Strictly speaking, it is simply the edge of the Tianjue Mountain Range that encloses a plain area.

The booklet says that it is three cities and sixteen counties, and after reading it from the sky, the three cities are still there, and the sixteen counties are long gone. Other places are desolate.

After seeing Cangshan County, I went to Tianjue Mountain to take a turn. Sure enough, inside the mountains is the wonderful world. There are two roads into the mountain pass, turn around, and there are two stockades out of a dozen miles.

In this place there are many paths, like spider webs, that connect many stockades.

From the perspective of the world, the village seems to be small, and there are not many people.

Surprisingly, these bandits have a lot of war eagles. Not long after Silver Feather flew over, more than a dozen war eagles flew over quickly.

Looking at the menacing appearance of those guys, Pan Wu smiled bitterly, he really didn't expect that there would be such an existence in Tianjue Mountain?

With a whistle, Silver Feather quickly returned.

After this investigation, I got a general understanding of the situation in Cangshan County, which was far from being as good as it was in the brochure. If it is according to Pan Wu's thoughts, as soon as he enters Cangshan County, everyone can be killed.

After thinking about it for a while, Pan Wu didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of Cangshan County, that is, he didn't accept Jiang Shimin's will.

Although Jiang Shimin said it was terrible, the thieves couldn't get anything at all in Cangshan County, and there were thieves in that place for a long time, how could anyone stay to farm and trade?

Cangshan thieves can only go out of the mountains to rob, and as long as they leave such dangerous places as Cangshan County, there are officers and soldiers outside......

After making a decision, Pan Wu went back to the mine and took everyone to refine the big ship together.

It's not that he doesn't want to kill those idiots in Cangshan County, it's that he doesn't need to make a move at this time.

The barbarians were attacked by the beast tide, with countless casualties, and they should not have been able to invade south in the past two years. Qin Guanzhong is also honest in accumulating national strength.

Don't think that fighting a war means having the courage to dare to fight hard, when the two countries are at war, the first thing to fight is money.

To fight a war, it takes several years of state taxation. What's more, the Qin State had to resist the attacks of the barbarians for many years, and this year it encountered the rebellion of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the rebellion of the Southern King successively.

Qin Guanzhong has no money, and the barbarians have no strength. Although Jiang Guo is also recuperating, don't say that they don't even have the ability to resist the Cangshan thieves.

In a word, whether it is King Nan or Jiang Shimin, they all want Pan Wu to fight for them.

So Pan Wu ignored it and tossed his boat with peace of mind.

The refiners were discussing this matter, and the boat must rely on external forces to walk, small boats can paddle and rock, and large ships can only rely on sails. But the premise is that they are wooden boats.

How many sails does an iron ship need to sail the sea?

Pan Wu went out for many days, and the refiners discussed it for many days, even if Pan Wu sent back a lot of shipbuilding books, but it seemed that it was not very useful.

When docking and going out to sea, you can rely on a small boat to tow it, and you can go into the sea, and if you want to sail for a long time, you still need to use sails. It can't be said that these refiners are stupid, there is only one feasible way, unless the big boat can paddle and walk on its own.

When Pan Wuyi came back, everyone said that they didn't come up with a new way, and they still made masts and canvas.

Pan Wu asked everyone to follow this plan. But immediately a refiner asked a new question: "How to make the keel, what is the material?"

The so-called keel is the backbone of the ship, Pan Wu thought for a while, it is very likely that he thought things too simply,
