Chapter 9 Round Carriage and Ship

Where is the limit of the big guy? The limit of the big guy is bottomless!

Shu brocade is really a treasure of the Han Dynasty, by the way, Amway is one of the first cultural relics we are forbidden to exhibit abroad: the five-star out of the East to benefit the Chinese brocade arm.

The big guy made a bloody investment again and went to check, such a horse of Shu brocade is almost 20,000 yuan to lay the base, which is real, not comparable to the previous Yiwu goods.

Compared to ancient times, it was much cheaper, and the price of this thing was really higher than gold in ancient times, and now we have machine weaving, and the price has been reduced a lot.

When I saw Shu brocade, I remembered that our textile technology seems to have not developed much, right?

Yes, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were hand-cranked pedal spinning wheels, but it was not until the Song Dynasty that there were water-powered spinning wheels, and then in modern times, the spindle machine and the ring spindle machine were first invented in the West.

Not only that, but the main thing is that cotton is not in China, this thing was only transmitted to China during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was not until the Song and Yuan dynasties that large-scale planting began, and even at that time, cotton armor was developed.

Specially, as soon as you talk about India, I think again, holding the world's largest alluvial plain is so suitable for farming, but it turns out that it is separated from us by the Himalayas.

The key to India is really a dish, it was conquered by eleven races in turn, such as the Yueshi people at the bottom of the monster house in East Asia, who became the emperor in India, and also built the Kushan Empire.

Therefore, the fate of a race depends not only on self-struggle, but also on the course of history.

I will add one sentence at the end, if UP holds this crossing, he will only be hacked to death with a knife, before the Tang Dynasty, this was the best stepping stone for the upper class, and he broke the blood for this head that could fight. 〗

As usual, the light curtain did not appear for long, and Jiang Wan stepped up to finish copying the last [next video will be played in three months], and then threw the pen and was completely paralyzed.

Liu Bei noticed Jiang Wan's tiredness: "Gongyan and Ji Chang are tired, there is a leg of roasted lamb in the back kitchen this morning, can you two go back by yourself?" ”

Ma Liang Jiang Wan thanked him, and at the same time remembered his younger brother:

Since he came to the police as a child, he has somehow fallen in love with eating mutton, and two legs of lamb should have made him happy for a long time.

Looking at the content in the light curtain, the brightest eyes among the crowd was Huang Yueying.

dragged a piece of paper and carefully copied the two pieces about the spinning wheel, and Huang Yueying took the lead in retiring.

Looking at the back of Huang Yueying's departure, Liu Bei admired:

"Mrs. Huang is really a heroine among women."

By the way, I glanced at the phoenix chick.

Kong Ming understood very well, shook his head and said:

"In recent months, I have been studying the improvement of the round car without incident, and I have always wanted to connect the various instruments to the round car to save manpower."

"Previously, we even developed a water-powered eight-bull crossbow."

Kong Ming shook his head and smiled, that thing seemed to have a new inspiration after the production of the thing, and the room was full of boat drawings.

"Now I must have seen the light curtain and realized that I had missed the spinning wheel, so I went back to develop it in a hurry."

Liu Bei understood: "Controlled by Mrs. Huang, the people's livelihood is blessed, the blessing of Hanji, and the blessing of the people." ”

Then the topic changed:

"This cotton, looking at the tone of the future generations, seems to be very important."

Zhang Fei went straight to the point:

"If we can grow armor from the ground, then we will be too powerful!"

Kong Ming shook his head and pulled out the map of the Great Han-Great Qin that had been copied from the light curtain.

Spread out the map that had been copied before, and made a brief summary:

"India, that is, the body is poisonous, there is cotton, there is fertile soil, and its people are weak."

"But, how to get there is a problem." Pang Tong also frowned.

Although this map is sketchy, everyone can still clearly see that the big man and this poison are only separated by a mountain.

But this mountain alone is like a moat: from the North Sea in the south to the Western Regions in the north, like a curtain covering the sky, the short road to the Han Dynasty is blocked tightly.

"It's too early to discuss this." Kong Ming said in a low voice:

"Since you have this ancient body poison path, you can offer a reward to drive the merchant to see if you can bring back the cotton seed from the body poison."

Everyone agrees, and this is the only way.

Then, in the reluctant gaze of everyone, Kong Ming rolled up the map.

In the past, he often sighed that he didn't know how big the world was, but now he saw a small part of the world, and his ambition began.

There has never been a moment when Kong Ming was so desperate to defeat the Cao thief.

Destroy the Cao thief, ask Jiangdong, the world is so big, he Kong Ming also wants to go and see it!

……

The leg of lamb had already been grilled, and when Ma Liang brought it back, he secretly tore off a piece of meat and tasted it, and the taste was very tempting.

But what Ma Liang couldn't understand was that Ma Jian insisted on cutting the leg of mutton into pieces, putting it in a clay pot and boiling it with water, so that he was willing to eat it.

At the end of January, it was cold in Jingzhou, and after Ma Liang and Ma Jian had dinner, they blew out the lights and slept with their clothes.

"Brother, is the lord going to send troops?"

Ma Tan's eyes were shining in the dark.

Ma Liang changed his posture and lay down and said:

"You want to join the army?"

He knows that his younger brother has loved the art of war since he was a child, and every time he talks about war, he always has a commanding word.

But...... Maleonn was silent.

Ever since he participated in the discussion of the core light curtain in the side hall, he has been extremely entangled.

Because after looking at the records, the light curtain mentioned the name of Ma Jian at the beginning!

[After Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, Shu Han ran out of energy. 】

This was the original words of the light curtain at that time, and whether it was the name of the street pavilion or Ma Tan, the light curtain never mentioned it again as if it had been forgotten.

But Ma Liang knew that the character of the military advisor must have been kept in mind, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to be a civilian in the past year.

I often do it with my heart, but I can see the boredom in my spare time, and the civilian job is not bad, but the military books I read are not all useless?

And...... The light curtain also did not say what the so-called lost street pavilion was.

Maybe just the first in a string of small failures?

Maybe you did your best at that time?

Maybe......

"Brother!"

In the darkness, Ma Yan's earnest voice interrupted Ma Liang's reverie.

Turning over and looking at the roof in the dark, Ma Liang could only say:

"Tomorrow I will tell the lord that success or failure is up to the lord to decide."

Not caring about Ma Yan's excited voice, Ma Liang closed his eyes.

After all, he is his own brother, and it is not a trouble to talk to the lord.

When the time comes, just tell the young lord that he doesn't agree.

……

Kong Ming brought some official documents to the lord early in the morning, and these were all for the lord to sign.

"I said before that these Kong Ming should be in charge."

Liu Bei looked at the official document and had a headache, so he moved over a small table and began to deal with it.

At this time, the location of the two of them was the martial arts arena of the county government, Kong Ming looked at the two young generals on the other side who were like angry little roosters, and threw Liu Bei a puzzled look.

"Ma Zhong, Ma Yan."

Liu Bei briefly explained:

"This Ma Jian is a good civilian official, but he always wants to enlist in the army and indulge in the art of war."

"This Ma Zhong Guangmu thinks he is a good talent, but ......" Liu Bei scratched his head and felt that he didn't understand:

"But he doesn't know a single big word, and he always wants to lead the army to fight."

"I simply put the two together, but I didn't expect this Ma Tan's eloquence, and the two fought."

Kong Ming put the official documents handled by Liu Bei into categories, and at the same time made suggestions:

"Previously, Yun Chang persuaded Yide to learn from Jiangling, why didn't the lord persuade him to learn from Ma Zhong?"

"The general who leads the army always has to learn something, and when he is strong and strong, he can be brave, and when he is old and weak, how can he have the courage of flesh and blood?"

Liu Bei recognized and felt that it made sense:

"That being the case, Ma Tan happened to be knowledgeable, so he asked him to persuade him to learn from Ma Zhong."

Kong Ming looked at the two young men who were already fighting over there, and said with a wicked smile:

"The lord might as well let this Ma Tan use the method of agitation, it will definitely be effective."

Liu Bei's eyes lit up: "Let's try it!" ”

With the processed official documents, he returned to the side hall and handed it to Jiang Wan.

Listening to the angry voice from the backyard: "Ma Yu often suffers death!" ”

Kong Ming stretched his waist and shook his head: The young man is really energetic.

In Gangneung City, Guan Yu is inspecting his warship.

After listening to the craftsman's words and manually operating his own warship, Guan Yu became more and more satisfied, and then beckoned Gan Gui, who had been eager to try it for a long time, to come over.

"General Guan!"

In less than two months, Gan Gui was also obedient to Guan Yu's tidy up, and she was full of reverence in Guan Yu at the moment.

This is the famous general who beheaded that Yan Liang! And he doesn't forget the lord when he hangs the seal and seals the gold, he is just like his father, and he is the most obedient to this kind of good man!

"This is a warship designed by Madame Huang, Gan Guiling is proficient in sailors, you can take a look."

In Gan's eyes, this ship was different from what he had used to before.

In the past, most of the boats that crossed the river were light, mainly to facilitate gang jumping, and on the other hand, because the river itself was not wide, it was very inconvenient for the big boats to turn around.

But this ship is not small, judging from the deck Gan Gui, it is a modification of an old ship.

The most conspicuous are the two repeaters on the side of the ship, each with three large exaggerated bows.

The second is a circular device placed at the stern of the ship, which Gan Gui recognizes, and there are many that have been built or are under construction in the vicinity of the police and Gangneung.

"Round car?" Gan Gui remembers the name.

"This is a round car." Guan Yu was very interested in this boat designed and renovated by Huang Yueying: "Come, take a hand." ”

Guan Yu ordered a team of personal soldiers, went down to the belly of the boat with Gan Gui and explained in detail:

"Pedal it, put your back on the cabin, and repeat the cycle."

This operation is simple, Gan Gui grabbed the handrail as he said, and then saw that General Naguan also took off his robe and grabbed a pedal device shirtlessly.

With the sound of shouting, a group of men pedaled together, and Gan Gui could feel the round cart at the stern of the boat begin to turn slowly.

Half of the round cart was submerged in water, and as it turned, a slow stroke began to drive the boat forward.

It's a brand new ship! Gan Gui understood, and then compared it with the warship he was familiar with, and concluded that both had their own advantages.

Unable to build a ship, but familiar with warships, Gan Gui easily judged that the ship was difficult to turn.

At this time, Guan Yu beside him roared: "Go to the wring!" ”

"Upper winch pole!"

Someone passed the order, and Gan Gui immediately felt that the pedaling was much harder, and she heard a sore tooth in her ears.

The giant bow on the repeater, open!

How did the repeater shoot like this?

Gan Gui's feet kept moving, but how about thinking of the exaggerated crossbow arrows that shot the boat, and even the Linjiang shooting army array to shoot the city?

In a trance, he felt that the water battle on the river might not be the same as before.

After changing it for a while, the officials all know that I am weak in writing ancient lines, and I am more tolerant, and I can talk about it if I have opinions, and I am grateful.
