When the young lady heard the order, she immediately came to sit down next to the small bookcase next to Zhu Yuan's bed, spread out the paper, and picked up a pen.

Zhu Yuan didn't speak immediately, he simply sat up, waited for Freehand and Liubai to take two pillows and put them behind him, and said to Luo Shui: "Those sketches they handed in, the clerk part, give me your comments of more than 80 points." And the ship drawings you drew today, I'll take a look at them too. ”

Before, two assignments were assigned to the officials of the Yinghai Division, because they set off in advance, many people were still learning "Fundamentals of Mathematics", but each of them drew a sketch and basically handed it in.

Zhu Yuan didn't have time to correct the 'homework', and he couldn't pass it on to the 'parents' in this era, so he let Luo Shui be responsible.

Luo Shui walked to the big bookcase by the window, and quickly divided two stacks of artwork and sent them to the bedside.

Zhu Yuan didn't answer, seeing that the first stack was much more than he imagined, he realized that he had underestimated everyone, thought about it and said, "Pick the best six." ”

Soon it was separated again.

Zhu Yuan took it and looked at it briefly, and felt that it was on par with Luoshui's level, anyway, it was much better than him, and a certain woman gave two of them a perfect score of 100 points.

Put the six-point sketch on the bookcase next to it, and turned to Qingqiu, who was still waiting: "Write a memo, tomorrow these six people, let them go north in three groups to measure the latitude of various places, and by the way, draw the shape of the coast near Linhaizhou County." ”

Qingqiu answered, knowing what a memorandum was, found another book on the small bookcase, and began to write in earnest.

Zhu Yuan temporarily turned to admiring the various sketches of the ships that the women had drawn today, and on the pages of the drawings, in addition to the ships themselves, there were also relevant annotations on the length, width, height, and even the number of people and cargo carried according to his reminders.

As for the work log, it is also something that is determined in advance.

The first is to record various thoughts every day, and secondly, I plan to give them to Lao Zhu.

Or from the first article of the Hongwu Survival Guide.

Even if people are far away from Lao Zhu, they still have to ask for instructions from time to time, report from time to time, maintain their sense of existence, and avoid the relationship from being cold because they have not seen each other for a long time.

Of course, if he repeats the words "How are you, Your Majesty", "How are you, Your Majesty, I've gained weight recently", "How are you, Your Majesty?", "How are you?", "How are you??", "How are you?

Therefore, the debriefing must have content.

Thinking so, Zhu Yuan flipped through the sketches of the ships in his hands, and when Qingqiu finished writing, he began to dictate his first work diary.

"In the first year of Hongwu, the seventh day of the second month."

"Today, I have carefully looked at all the floors and places of the boat, and I feel that the traditional wooden sailing craft has reached the extreme, and there is no place for it."

"If you have other ideas, you shouldn't do it right now."

"Transporting grain is the first priority, and officers and sailors have become accustomed to the operation of traditional sailing ships, and the bold change may make them at a loss and counterproductive."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuan paused, remembered something, and added it again.

"During the day, I asked an old boatman in Suzhou, and Zhang Shicheng built this ship back then, and obtained dozens of barrels of asphalt from the hands of the big food maritime merchants, and painted them on the bottom of the ship, and the waterproof effect far exceeded that of tung oil. Someone was sent into the water to investigate, but unfortunately after a long time, after washing, there is not much left. ”

Qing Niang looked puzzled: "Little official, what...... Green? ”

"Three points of water, plus the calendar of history," Zhu Yuan explained, and said: "You just write, if you don't understand some new words, use other words, and I will revise them later." ”

The young lady hummed and turned her head to continue.

Zhu Yuan also continued: "Asphalt is the residue of petroleum refining, petroleum, and a necessary thing for industrialization, but the stock in the Ming Dynasty is very small and difficult to exploit. ”

"Big Food...... At present, I don't know if it is still this name, but the oil reserves in the nearby area are huge, and special attention should be paid to it. ”

"For now."

"In the first stage of industrialization, only two things: 'steel' and 'coal', both of which are abundant in our Ming reserves, can be explored in advance for the future."

"The weather was fine at night, and the star puller was tested, and the latitude of Jiangyin was obtained, and the latitude of 31.9 degrees north was obtained."

"It is planned to send people to measure the latitude values of various states and counties along the coastline tomorrow until Jiaozhou. According to the circumference of the earth, each latitude is about 220 miles long, and the values of various places can roughly confirm the distance between north and south, which is an important reference for grain transportation. ”

"On an ad hoc basis, the test team was asked to sketch the coasts of each state and county, and if there is a suitable seaport, mark it as a stop in case of an emergency on the way to sea."

"As for the star chart, everyone thinks it is a secret, and I approve of it or not all of it."

"The principle of the star puller is simple, easy to imitate, and in order to vigorously open up the sea in the future, it is necessary to train thousands of seafaring talents, so the star puller cannot be kept secret."

"I think that the foundation of a country is by no means to cherish a few clever things and special knowledge, and the strength of a country lies in its productive forces, in its agricultural heritage and industrial strength, in whether it has efficient executive power, and whether it can do what the law must do, and whether it must be effective. It's like someone who has a star mount, if they can't afford to build a sea boat, what can they do? ”

The young lady next to her continued to write the words of her own petty official, but she was a little shocked in her heart.

She has read books, because they are all very orthodox Four Books and Five Classics, and occasionally it is inevitable that many of them are too big and too empty.

Qingniang even had some shallow thoughts that didn't dare to float too much, and she already knew about these knowledge, as well as all kinds of these days.

Future...... If you can teach it yourself......

Thinking of this, she immediately stopped.

How can I be so delusional......

As long as you can stay by his side, rely on your duty, and be lucky enough to get another concubine in the future, be safe and stable, serve him, and live this life is enough.

Zhu Yuan saw that the woman's writing movement was slowing down, and asked, "There is a problem again?" ”

Qing Niang was taken aback, her face turned a little white instantly, and she shook her head in a panic: "Slave...... There is no ......"

Hurriedly concentrated.

Zhu Yuan waited for her to finish writing this paragraph, and then continued: "At the same time, technical secrecy is also inevitable, but it needs to be selectively secrecy. ”

"Like gunpowder, it must be kept secret."

"However, the formula of gunpowder is not only contained in a variety of classics, but also widely circulated among the people, and the Mongolian expedition to the west has introduced the method of gunpowder to the West, which is a big mistake, and there is nothing to be done at the moment."

"If you don't want to encounter a backlash in the future, I need to vigorously develop more powerful gunpowder weapons to attack spears with spears."

"If gunpowder weapons can flourish, they will enter the era of thermal weapons. Hot weapons against cold weapons, such as heavy cavalry against three-year-old children, this is the suppression of higher civilizations against lower civilizations. ”

Qing Niang didn't dare to mess around with her mind and focused on writing.

The three girls next to her also stood or sat quietly listening, and when they arrived here, they heard the words of 'heavy cavalry against three-year-old children' and 'the suppression of civilization', and they were both puzzled and a little shocked.

Can that really be?

How so?

Zhu Yuan continued: "There are many traditional gunpowder formulas, but the ingredients are only charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter. Charcoal is a livelihood item and cannot be restricted. Sulfur and saltpeter should be strictly controlled by legislation, and those who mine, transport, and sell without authorization should be punished to death or punished by clans, but they are not harsh! ”

When Zhu Yuan said this, the four women of all sizes were all in the same heart.

suddenly found that his own petty officials turned out to be far more than the occasional nonsense and all kinds of humor on weekdays, he also had the killing side of those who they had seen before who were in high positions who could easily decide life and death.

Qing Niang wrote Zhu Yuan's words, and even felt that her body was a little soft, and she wanted to lean to the side and lean against her little master.

After Zhu Yuan finished the last paragraph, he noticed the strange looks of the four women around him, and realized that he was scared of them, slowed down, and added with a smile: "After a busy day, Yu is exhausted, and he dictates in bedridden, Qingqiu ghostwrites, freehand, blank, and Luoshui transcribs." ”

When Qingniang heard this, she felt that she understood Zhu Yuan's intentions, maybe she wanted to leave them some names or add a little credit. But she is a woman, where she needs these, turned her head to see, and her voice was soft: "Little official, don't be a slave." ”

The other three girls also had similar expressions.

Zhu Yuan lowered his head and turned another page of the ship's artwork, and said: "The woman said that she didn't want it, write it quickly, I will quickly change it and go to sleep." Is Qingqiu going to be bad too? ”

Qing Niang immediately turned her head to write.

Actually, Zhu Yuan is still for Lao Zhu to see.

After all, bringing a bunch of women over, it is inevitable to criticize, even if I have mentioned it to Lao Zhu a few times before, I still feel that I have reiterated that I am not obsessed with women, and it is really a serious arrangement.

After the young lady finished writing, Zhu Yuan took it, quickly revised the typos of some of the new words with a pen, and handed it back: "You take the time to copy it twice, one for us to keep, and one for my ancestors in a few days." ”

Although it is a log, Zhu Yuan does not plan to send it every day, but plans to deliver it to Jinling once every three or five days, depending on the situation.

After the order, Zhu Yuan took out the pillow behind him, lay down, saw Freehand stepped forward to cover the quilt, remembered something again, and asked, "Is your brother better?" ”

After the departure of the boat today, many people have seasickness. Dai Sanchun, who originally came together, didn't see anyone all day, and was busy dealing with this matter everywhere, applying needles and boiling medicine.

Freehand's older brother Joan is also one of them.

Zhu Yuan was also curious about how Fu Shou got them over in the first place, after all, he had to take the waterway.

Think about it, maybe it's because the big boat is different from the small boat.

It was Zhu Yuan himself, although his body was very weak, no matter what boat he was on, he never had a seasickness reaction.

This may be the same as altitude sickness, and it has nothing to do with being strong or not, and it varies from person to person.

"It's a lot better," Freehand began to feel weak again, lowering his eyes: "Brother...... I have lived up to the expectations of the petty officials. ”

Zhu Yuan grabbed a small hand of Freehand, felt the warm nephrite, and said with a smile: "People and human constitutions are different, just get used to it, even if you can't get used to it, you don't necessarily have to go to the sea in the future." ”

Freehand little hum.

As he was talking, a maid reported outside the door, and only after getting permission did she open the curtain and come in, and her soft voice was also soft and weak: "Little official, Master Hua came over and asked if you slept?" ”

Zhu Yuan felt that it must have been something that Lao Zhu had explained to Hua Gao before leaving. The passion this guy had for him before...... Like a husband, now...... Like a father-in-law, it makes him very uncomfortable anyway.

Zhu Yuan didn't mean to get out of bed, knowing that Hua Gao just asked, and said, "Tell him that he is already in bed." ”

The maid was about to respond, and said freely: "Little official, go and talk about it, after all, it is a Huada person." ”

"It's okay," Zhu Yuan said, letting go of her freehand little hand, waiting for her to leave, seeing that Liubai was still beside her, remembering just now, she said: "Go and let the sack come over, I will feel the shock of the world again, and it is best to fall asleep." ”

There was a little resentment in the blank expression, but he still responded, didn't go out immediately, and said: "Little official, is it okay to let Xiaoyu follow you during the day?" ”

Zhu Yuan remembered the figure that was always hanging around him during the day, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Seeing that he couldn't always go over, he paused, and said in a small voice: "The little fish is very watery." ”

Only then did Zhu Yuan understand, and drove people away with a smile: "You just think too much all day long, go and call people, and then you don't come back tonight, punish you for sleeping outside." ”

Blank pouted slightly.

Someone has never let anyone sleep in it, as for Qingniang, it's just a nap, and I firmly think that it doesn't count!

The other side.

Seeing Freehand walking out of the cabin, Hua Gao smiled and said a few words to Zhu Yuan's personal maid, and explained in a gentle voice: "When writing documents at night, add a few more lights, don't hurt your eyes." Just one piece, write mother, if the lampstand is not careless, don't care about the rest, you must first bring out your little officials, remember, remember! ”

Freehand blessing: "Lord Xie Hua, the slave remembers." ”

Hua Gao thought about it and said: "Except for the Hanlin bedroom, the other women's residences should not be easily lit." ”

Hua Gao had always called Zhu Yuan 'Xiucai Gong' before, but after being told by Lao Zhu, he didn't dare to be casual anymore, so like everyone else, he used Zhu Yuan's most noble 'Hanlin' official position as a pronoun.

Freehand nodded: "The slave knows." ”

In fact, he had been informed a long time ago, and it was for this reason that when Zhu Yuan arrived in the bedroom, he would only see a room of girls.

Because of the other rooms, Freehand does not allow them to light the lights at will.

After all, for wooden boats, fire prevention is very important.

After saying a few more words, he returned to the cabin after giving a freehand salute, Hua Gao craned his neck and looked inward, until the servant closed the door, then withdrew his gaze, and explained a few words to the guards at the door in a deep voice, and then followed by a group of personal soldiers with lanterns to the lower level of the cabin and continued to patrol.

When he arrived at the lower second floor, he had just turned the corner of a corridor when Hua Gao heard the sound of laughter and the light.

Huada suddenly quickened his pace, jumped over in three or two, and broke into the cabin, first the light was dimmed, and then there was a snapping sound of python scabbards slapping the flesh and a series of crying fathers and shouting mothers, accompanied by the roar of Huada people: "Let the lights be lit chaotically, I let the lights be lit chaotically, I let the lights be lit chaotically!" ”

By the time the soldiers followed the door with lanterns, there were already several people lying on the ground, moaning dying.

Hua Daren re-hung the waist knife and said to the soldiers: "Pull me out and hang it on the side of the boat, hang the ......" to see if it was just a few people who didn't know the rules, so he opened up a little: "...... Hang for an hour. ”

Out of the cabin, Hua Gao said solemnly to a person behind him: "Call some people over again, up and down to reiterate the rules to me, if someone commits it again, hang the mast, don't put it down before dawn, hang it, Ming'er just dropped it to sacrifice the dragon king." ”
