Chapter 30 The Problem of Salvaging a Shipwreck

Last time, Pan Jun asked Fei Yi how to solve the problem of lack of manpower in salvaging the sunken ship, and when Fei Yi was about to speak, Liu Hou interrupted them and said that he would guess first. Then he guessed that Fei Yi was going to drive 30,000 Eastern Wu captives to do this.

"The son of the world is talented, Yi Zheng has this intention. Wouldn't it be a pity that these captives wasted food every day in the barracks, and that 30,000 laborers were wasted? Why not use them to solve big problems for us. It also saves them from staying in the barracks and causing trouble with nothing to do. Fei Yi said.

"Hehe, that's right, Mr. Fei said it well, just what I want." Liu Houdao.

"General Pan, now these captives only eat one-third of the normal food every day, so they don't have the strength to work. In the future, if you organize them to go out to work in batches, those who go out to work will get a full meal, and I believe they will have fewer complaints. Fei Yi added.

"It's just that it costs a lot of food." Pan Jun said.

Liu Hou was speechless, this Pan Jun is really a miser character, he wants the horses to run, and the horses don't eat grass, where in the world is there such a good thing?

"It's okay, anyway, the rations of these captives are all sent by Soochow, so it's a big deal that we can deduct a little bit. If you think about it, even if you requisition the people, you still have to export grain, and you will produce more than that. Now the labor and food are all from Soochow, which is equivalent to Soochow helping us to work, so why not do it. Fei Yi said.

Although Pan Jun also understands this truth, but his heart is not happy, there is no other reason, in the past, when he withheld the grain sent by Dongwu, but he embezzled a lot of his hands, and now as soon as the project starts, the food consumed has increased greatly, and his oil and water will naturally be less. But he also understood that he had to do it, so he had to endure the pain and agree.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Liu Houdao, "It seems that the trick of asking for food from Dongwu is really the right one." Later, after the shipwreck is salvaged, a moat will be dug and an urn city will be built. This is equivalent to Soochow doing these things for us, and we got these advantages for no reason. Haha, that's great. Liu Hou laughed happily.

(Jingzhou City in later generations had a moat and an urn city, I don't know if there was one during the Three Kingdoms.) Of course, Jingzhou City during the Three Kingdoms period and Jingzhou City said in later generations may not necessarily be the same place. )

Fei Yi and Pan Jun were also very happy, and at the same time arched their hands and said, "The son of the world is wise. ”

"General Pan should make good use of these human resources in his hands and do these things well, you must know that this can be a great achievement, oh, not one, it is three, salvaging the sunken ship is a great achievement, digging the moat is a work, and building the urn city is another work. You have to do these things well, and when the time comes, I will definitely report to my father and reward you. Liu Hou never forgot to use his credit to tempt Pan Jun, the villain.

Although Pan Jun had never heard of the new word human resources, he roughly understood what it meant, and was full of fighting spirit after hearing Liu Hou's words, so he hurriedly agreed: "Please rest assured that Jun will do these things well for the prince." This is all the credit of the prince, Jun is just an errand runner, and it is under the wise leadership of the prince that these achievements can be made. Therefore, villains also have the benefits of villains, that is, they have special eyesight and will meet their bosses.

Liu Hou and Fei Yi are both understanding people, of course, they can see through his essence at a glance, but they are both smart people, and they don't talk about him, as long as they can do things diligently and diligently, they don't have to worry too much about some small things.

At this time, Fei Yi said again: "It's just that in this way, the soldiers and horses under General Pan may not be enough, and I will transfer another battalion of soldiers and horses to you." Add your original 500 Jingzhou defenders and 500 musketeers, and you have a total of 1* horses. When the time comes, you let 500 original Jingzhou soldiers guard the base camp, and 1,000 musketeers escort the prisoners out to work, and dispatch 10,000 prisoners each time, General Pan, do you think this kind of manpower is enough? ”

"Enough, enough, enough, enough." Pan Jun was busy.

"It's just that the city defense is a little nervous." Liu Houdao.

"Indeed, in this way, only 4 battalions are left in charge of the city defense, and Yi wants to ask the prince to send out the guard battalion to inspect the city defense, so that we have 3 battalions of the first regiment and a battalion of the third regiment, as well as a total of 5 battalions and 2,500 troops.

At present, there should be no fighting for the time being, as long as more scouts are dispatched, early warning work is done, and once an enemy is found to be attacking, the two battalions sent out to supervise the prisoners will be quickly withdrawn to strengthen the city defense, and the city defense should not be lost. Fei Yi said.

"That's all there is to it." Liu Houdao.

"This salvage shipwreck, there are manpower, I don't know what method Mr. Fei plans to use to salvage such a huge shipwreck?" Liu Hou asked again.

"First I'm going to have people build some pulleys and let the captives pull the boat through the guò pulleys, which saves a lot of effort, and then polish the bottom pads to smooth logs, so that the boat can be dragged ashore step by step." Fei Yi replied simply.

Liu Hou nodded secretly when he heard this, it seems that Zuo Ci's scientific knowledge taught by the Ministry of Industry for so many years has not been in vain, at least Fei Yi's understanding of simple machinery is quite deep.

"It seems that Mr. Fei has learned a lot from Master Zuo, hehe." Liu Houdao.

"The prince has won the award, just the skin, what Yi Zhi has learned is less than one ten-thousandth of Zuo Xianweng, the more Yi learns his old man's various knowledge, the more he feels that he is unfathomable." Fei Yi said modestly.

"That's natural, Master Zuo is a master in the world, you just need to learn more from him. Okay, back to the issue of salvage ships. I would like to ask you a question: the bottom of the boat is full of soft mud and sand, and if you put the rolling logs down, you will get stuck in the mud and sand when you are stressed, and you can no longer roll, can you still play the role of turning sliding friction into rolling friction? Liu Hou asked.

"This ...... That's how it can be good. Fei Yi was speechless for a moment.

"Think about how you should solve this problem." Liu Houdao.

Fei Yi fell into deep thought, and Liu Hou pricked up his ears and began to listen to the surrounding conversations. Pan Jun was good, he couldn't understand the conversation between Liu Hou and Fei Yi at all, he wanted to ask but was afraid of disturbing the business of the two, and he was even more afraid of being despised by the two of them for their ignorance, so he rarely suppressed his curiosity and couldn't help but ask, just buried his head in the food.

"You don't know, the thunder rumbled that day, the rain poured down, the Yangtze River turned over the river and the sea, and the wind was raging. A flash of thunder and lightning knocked down a large area of Soochow's ships, and a strong wind blew away a large area. The entire Soochow fleet was wiped out. More than 1,000 ships and 100,000 Dongwu soldiers are gone, and they have fed the fish and turtles of the Yangtze River. ”

This is a loud voice next door that Liu Hou heard, boasting about the scene of the water battle a few days ago. Obviously, this person did not see the situation with his own eyes, the whole situation was completely fabricated out of thin air, and after a few days of fermentation, the process and results were exaggerated to the level of the fantasy novel.

"None of you have seen the Tianshizi vs. the Eastern Wu Naval Army, sue you, I saw it with my own eyes! I happened to have a ship full of cargo ready to set sail, and I saw the army of Soochow slaughtering in a mighty way, but fortunately I woke up early and let the ship stay away from these killing gods. It was another voice, apparently a businessman watching from a distance at the scene, and he continued:

"From afar I saw the Son of the World leading the covenant* onto a ship, a ship, can you imagine? With only one ship, the prince dared to meet the army of more than 1,000 ships in Eastern Wu. This is what I saw with my own eyes, those rumors that the son of the world ambushed the army to ambush the Soochow Navy are all TM's farts, I dare to use my personality to guarantee that there is really only one ship......"

"How powerful is Shizi? Of course it's amazing! He is not an ordinary person, let me tell you, the son of the world is an immortal, and he worshiped Zuo Ci Zuo Xianweng as a teacher, and has the means of immortals. Let me tell you, on the day of the Yangtze River water battle, the prince summoned a thousand-eyed monster, the thousand-eyed monster is very powerful, each of its eyes can shoot fireballs, and those Dongwu ships, whether they are small boats or huge building ships, will be smashed by these fireballs and will be wiped out. ”

This man may have seen some of the situation at the scene, and regarded the gun windows on both sides as the eyes of monsters, and the others were supplemented with his rich imagination, which was obviously a fantasy event again.

"The prince doesn't know martial arts? You are such nonsense, old man Li, I can bet you that the prince is strong in martial arts and is a first-class general. What? If you don't believe me, I can tell you that my cousin's grandmother's grandson's neighbor's cousin's colleague was doing business in Chengdu, and he saw with his own eyes that Shizi made a good marksmanship. Do you know who taught him marksmanship?

Zuo Ci? Wrong! Big mistake, Zuo Ci taught him spells, and there are other people who teach him martial arts, I forgive you for not guessing, okay, I sue you, his master is General Changshan Zhao Zilong Zhao Yun. Zhao Zilong, you won't know it, when Changbanpo single-handedly killed seven in and seven out of the million Cao army, he was the one who rescued the son.

Amazing, I heard that his martial arts have improved in recent years, and he has faintly surpassed the level of Wenhou Lu Bu back then, becoming the number one master in the world. "This one obviously knows something, but it's a pity that it's also blown endlessly.

At this time, a person next to him said: "I know that General Zhao is powerful, but what does this have to do with the prince?" "The previous man:

"Why doesn't it matter, didn't I tell you just now, the prince is General Zhao's apprentice, a real disciple, and he has done his best to pass on General Zhao's true inheritance, and his pistol technique makes it a supernatural dragon appearing, like a pear blossom rainstorm......"

"So what." The man who raised the bar interjected again.

"So what? That's amazing, didn't you look at the Jingzhou water battle a few days ago, Dongwu dispatched thousands of warships, and a million troops killed it mightily. Fortunately, the son of the world, he single-handedly, treading water, killed the Wu army alone, killed seven in and seven out, and killed seven hundred and forty-nine Eastern Wu generals, and almost cut off Sun Quan's head. ”

"Car!" Several people around him cheered. "Bragging rights, how can anyone be so powerful."

"Why not, his master, General Zhao, could do it back then, why couldn't he do it if he did his master's true inheritance? Also, you see that when Zhuge was the commander of the Eastern Wu Army, Zhou Yu, vomited blood and died, and some time ago, Lu Meng led the troops over, and the prince was also so angry that he vomited blood. Let's see, whether the son of the world has the true inheritance of the master.

I tell you, in fact, Zhuge Junshi is also one of the teachers of the Shizi, who specializes in teaching the Shizi strategy and eloquence. Therefore, the prince can also vomit blood from the anger of this current governor of Eastern Wu. Therefore, our son can be literate and martial, literate and comparable to Zhuge military division, and martial arts comparable to General Zhao Yunzhao. ”

Liu Hou couldn't help but feel funny when he heard this, thinking that the people of this era were not lacking in imagination at all, and they all held themselves to the sky. But he didn't come to listen to such bragging. He wanted to see if there was any instability among the people after these two wars, and whether there would be any problems that affected the security of the city defense or his dominance, so that he could find a way to solve them in time.

It sounds like those people are talking about the Jingzhou War and the Yangtze River Water War. And, apparently, these messages are either exaggerated or unrealistic and have no reference value. Liu Hou listened to it for a long time and didn't hear any useful news, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. At this time, the conversation between the two finally aroused Liu Houyu's interest.

If you know what will happen in the future, please see how to break it down later.
