Chapter 394: Fortune (Four Changes)

"Okay, as long as you're bold, it's not that hard." Hong Lianshuo looked at the two of them tenderly and said.

"Alright, no one is coming, let's take the plank away!" Patriarch Yang commanded.

"I'm coming!" Yang Fan pulled the plank over, "Second brother, you will be hit by following us from afar." ”

"Got it." Yang Qihang nodded with a smile and said in a loud voice.

"Mother, ship, shipbuilding." Hong Wangyue sat next to Hong Lianshuo, and suddenly looked at her with big eyes and asked.

"When did you get a ship?" Mo Sanya asked curiously.

"By land, by boat, by mud, by mountain, this boat is early." Lin Nanzheng said with a smile when he heard this, "According to historical records, the earliest was a canoe, which hollowed out the big tree. "Huainanzi Says Mountain Training" contains: "When you see the wood floating, you know that it is a boat, and when you see a flying canopy, you know that it is a car...... Take it by analogy. It is also mentioned in the "Yi Zhi Ci": "Fuxi's wood is a boat, and the wood is a tree." 'Illustrated canoes and pulp. Subsequently, it is called a boat by collecting many boards and making the hollow, and a raft is called a raft by setting many wooden or bamboo poles tied side by side. ”

"Bamboo raft!" Patriarch Yang said with a smile.

"That's right! The most common in the South. Lin Nanzheng smiled and continued, "In the Book of Poetry, Shang Song, Long Hair, it is said: 'The soil is fierce, and there are interceptions overseas. It shows that the Shang people have won battles overseas. "The Book of Poetry, Shang Song, Xuanniao" also said that the period of Shang King Wuding was 'a thousand miles of Banggi, the people stopped, and the four seas of Zhaoyu'. It can also prove that the territory of the Shang Dynasty was expanded to the sea at that time. The 'merging wood to cross' in "Erya" is the most vivid summary of the raft. Confucius said: 'If the Tao is not good, take the pole and float on the sea.' Confucius's willingness to float on a raft shows that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the use of coastal shipping routes had already begun, and a large number of wooden boats appeared in different waters. ”

"You're a specialist!" Hong Lianshuo looked at Lin Nanzheng in surprise.

"Oh! You're going to go fishing here, so I'll go to the Imperial Study to find out what to do. Lin Nanzheng looked at her with phoenix eyes and said, "But there is very little content in this regard, and I also went to the engineering officer's office to find the pattern of the ship, but I found nothing." ”

"We've searched through the drawings of the engineers, but there are no drawings of the ships being built." Hong Lianshuo said very regretfully.

"Maybe it's because we're located in the north, and it's only been more than 30 years since the establishment of the new dynasty, and the emperor only knows how to be greedy for pleasure, so these people won't pay too much attention." Lin Nanzheng said with a cold face.

Patriarch Yang watched the two of them talk about the royal family like this, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Although the emperor is gone, it's too presumptuous!

"What then?" Hong Wangyue looked at them worriedly and said.

Brush...... His gaze turned to Patriarch Yang.

"This ship is different from civilian utensils, it should be officially supervised, right?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and bright dark eyes and said.

"I can explain that." Hearing this, Lin Nanzheng looked at them with phoenix eyes and said, "Canoes are all made from a whole length of huge tree trunks, and the size limit of the canoe is completely dependent on the size of the trees being made. In the Shang Dynasty, in order to overcome the limitations imposed by trees on the production of canoes, plank boats came into being in this context. The size of the hull can be customized according to people's actual needs, which gives people more freedom in shipbuilding. Since then, the shipbuilding industry has flourished day by day, and many derivatives have been formed, forming a large and complex family of wooden sailing boats. ”

Lin Nanzheng's phoenix eyes shook lightly and said, "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, those years were turbulent and wars were continuous. Each vassal state attaches great importance to the shipping industry, which can be used in the future. ”

"Waterway transportation does have a lot of load, and it is smooth and fast." Hong Lianshuo's eyebrows said lightly, "It's a good choice to transport baggage in wartime, of course, you have to have a river first." With the rise of princely hegemony, the status of ships as an indispensable tool of surface warfare became even more prominent. Warships came into being, because ships that carry combat functions and carry transportation functions. ”

"So the vassal states attached great importance to shipbuilding and use." Lin Nanzheng's deep phoenix eyes looked at them and said, "The Qi State, which was founded by the sea, and the Chu, Wu, and Yue States, which are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, all have very developed shipbuilding industries. Then he said, "Art and Literature Gathering" records: When the Western Zhou Dynasty became king, he offered a boat in Yue. For example, in the "Book of Yue Jue", when the Yue country moved its capital to Langya, 2,800 sailors were used to cut down pines and cypresses! ”

Lin Nanzheng's phoenix eyes turned lightly and continued, "In the Great Unification War of Qin Shi Huang to unify the whole country, those places in the north with little rain, less water and more land can be conquered by the iron cavalry of the Great Qin Empire, while in the south, it is difficult for the iron cavalry of the empire to fully exert their own mobility and combat strength. Therefore, in order to overcome the troubles brought by the unification of the Great Qin State caused by the south, which has many waterways, the warships have been greatly improved. After a pause, he said, "By the Han Dynasty, people had mastered more knowledge of shipbuilding. All kinds of sailing tools, such as masts, sails, ropes, etc., are fully equipped, and all kinds of tools are also very complete. Pointing to the current ship's pathway, "It's like a ship now." ”

sighed, "With the decline of the Han Dynasty, wars broke out, and the emperors were poor. This craftsman has to eat! Don't you start fending for yourself. The words fell and looked at Patriarch Yang.

"Lin Gongzi is right." Patriarch Yang curled the corners of his lips and smiled slightly when he heard this, "At that time, the master was familiar with every process, and I was still wondering!" Now the origin of the master is explained. ”

"Patriarch Grandpa, how did you learn it?" Hong Wangyue's big eyes looked at Patriarch Yang and asked.

Patriarch Yang's black and white eyes looked at the extraordinarily gentle in his eyes, and said calmly, "Stealing from him!" ”

"Stealing?" Hong Wangyue's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at him in disbelief and said, "Didn't the master teach you?" Aren't you an apprentice? ”

"Apprentices also depend on whether the master teaches or not!" Patriarch Yang looked at Hong Wangyue lovingly and said, "Sect apprentice, starve the master to death, the master will not teach you easily." ”

"Mother, is that so?" Hong Wangyue raised his head slightly, blinked at her and said, "But you don't seem to be the same, you teach both." ”

"Hmmm! The monopoly of knowledge is wealth. Hong Lianshuo looked at him tenderly and said, his eyes turned to Patriarch Yang again, "Then you studied very hard at that time!" ”
