Martial arts Dazhutian

Chapter 303 Intelligence Shipping and Rice Seeds

"Oh? Come and listen!"

Song Que couldn't deny it, he couldn't think of anyone who could be more suitable than the Huang Lin in front of him.

After thinking about it for a while, Huang Lin slowly said:
"I can make a name first, and then Kou Zhong will stay in the noble family on my behalf. Give him a chance to try it out! How about a five-year limit?"

He remembered that it seemed that Ssangyong only took four or five years from leaving Yangzhou to mobilizing the young generals to fight against Li Tang in the north.

Song Que frowned in thought for a while, then turned his head, stared at Huang Lin and said coldly:
"Although Lu Miaozi bragged about those two boys in the letter, they are still just young children, and fighting for the world is very different from practicing martial arts. Are you kidding my Song family?!"

Hearing this, Huang Lin couldn't help pinching the center of his brows.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and said:
"How about this, if there is an incident, you can name Huang, if there is really no suitable person behind, this matter, I will take it!"

"But you also know, Lord, you and I are both people who pursue martial arts. You'd better cultivate a successor. If your teacher is not good enough, let him give birth to a son early. That kid Kou Zhong can let him try too. .”

"In fact, many things are guided by the situation. If we become the overlord, maybe even your family's teachers can be changed."

"If you don't continue, with your and my strength, are you afraid that you won't be able to cultivate a person who can take on the great cause?"

"how?"

To persuade Song Que, Huang Lin can only put up a name for the time being, and hope that Kou Zhong will work harder, otherwise he will really train Song Shidao's son in this world!

"That's it for the time being, you really are a kid! You don't look like a young man!"

Song Que shook his head, although he agreed with Huang Lin's idea, he was still a little unbelievable.

Huang Lin didn't bother about it too much, instead he said:
"Valve master, look at this."

As he spoke, he pushed the book in front of him.

"This is an inn?"

Song Que had been quite curious about this booklet before, but he didn't know that when he opened the first page, there was a painting, and so did the following pages.

He has never seen a picture of this style before, but he can tell at a glance that this is the structural diagram of the interior, combined with the text annotations such as "guest room", "private room" and "counter" next to it, it is easy to understand , which is the inn construct.

"Yes, the inn!"

Huang Lin nodded and explained:

"I believe that fighting the world is all about intelligence. If we have an intelligence network all over the world, it will be extremely beneficial whether it is sorting out our own internal operations or fighting externally!"

Song Que understood a little bit, and immediately nodded in agreement, and his evaluation of Huang Lin was even higher in his heart.

These two things, salt and sugar, can win a lot of money, and they also know the importance of information. Based on these points alone, they are no worse than ordinary influencers.

Although he didn't know Huang Lin's other abilities, but he already recognized him very much in his heart.

Immediately flipping through it, the pictures in this book are no longer the structure diagram of the inn, but the shape of a ship.

Through the annotation next to the pattern, Song Que found that the ship on it was nearly three times larger than the five-toothed ship!
The floors on the deck are not in the middle of the hull, but separated at the fore and aft ends.

Its bottom is also different from the flat bottom of today's ships, it is a pointed bottom!

Song Que was very puzzled by this strange shape of the ship.

"Is this ship usable?"

Song Que turned around and asked with doubts in his eyes.

He doesn't know much about ships, but he also knows that the development of the size of a ship cannot be achieved overnight!
Today's largest five-tooth warship is only 16 feet long (55 meters).

But what about the treasure ship on the blueprint?
The total length is more than 44 feet (148 meters)!

Can such a big boat go into the water?

Won't it disintegrate during the voyage?

Can the Yangtze River carry such a large ship?

Under many doubts, Song Que did not trust the treasure ship.

Huang Lin saw the expression on Song Que's face, and knew him better in his heart.

Previously in the Sharpening Hall, I saw Song Que's side as a Heavenly Sword.

When I talked about snow salt and frosting sugar just now, it was probably the side of the valve owner.

But at this time, although they were talking about important matters, there were only the two of them in the hall. Song Que's speech and conversation were a little more casual, and the expressions on his face were much richer.

Is this an acknowledgment of him?

These thoughts flashed through his mind, Huang Lin collected his thoughts and said with a smile:
"The lord doesn't know, this is a sea-going ship, but it can't go across the inner river."

"Sea ship?"

Song Que murmured in confusion, then his eyes flashed, and he immediately shouted:

"Come on!"

Immediately, two men dressed as samurai pushed the door and entered, bowing and clasping fists with reverence on their faces:

"Meet the valve master!"

"Go to the Kanyu Building and get the No. [-] Map of Jia Zi!"

"Yes!"

After the two led the order to go out, Song Que looked a little excited, got up and took two steps, and said:
"If you have a few of these ships and add various small ships, I can start from Hepu or Gaoliang and go around the sea to Liaodong!"

(Liaodong County, a border county in the northeast direction of the Sui Dynasty, adjacent to Goguryeo and Khitan)
But then, he asked uncertainly:
"However, can such a large ship be built?"

"It will definitely not be built in a short time. If we want to reach the size in the atlas, it will take at least five years to start, but we can build some smaller treasure ships first to accumulate experience."

Huang Lin has considered this aspect. The Song family has well-developed water transport, and Hepu County and Nanhai County have good deep-water ports, which are very suitable for building seagoing ships.

Not to mention the wood, when the Ming Dynasty built treasure ships, most of the wood was transported from Lingnan!
However, the Song family, including the entire Sui Dynasty, had no experience in building seagoing ships, and boatmen needed time to get familiar with new technologies and ship structures.

The two discussed and conceived about the treasure ship, such as where to build the shipyard, what size treasure ship to build first, and so on.

Not long after, the two soldiers who had gone to get the map came back.

After swiping the two of them back, Song Que immediately unfolded the map.

He was looking at it with great interest, but Huang Lin frowned at the map.

Without him, it's too rough!

It's not that the painting is rough, but the twists and turns of the coastline are too random.

Not to mention the thicker and shorter Leizhou Peninsula, Hainan Island flew out directly, and the Qiongzhou Strait has become wider on this map.

If this is a shipbuilding port, I don't know where it will go!
Thinking of this, Huang Lindang immediately said:
"Lord, the sea line on this map is inaccurate. After Mr. Huang draws a rough sea line in the evening, you and I can discuss this matter again, how about it?"

"Don't talk nonsense! The old man defeated Yang Jian's army ten times back then, and he also has the merits of this picture. How can there be any inaccuracy?!"

Song Que kept a serious face, and cast a sideways glance at Huang Lin with an unswerving expression.

When he resisted Yang Jian's [-] elite soldiers back then, among the many maps he prepared, this one was the general map. If there was a problem with this map, then it would be a big joke for him to win ten battles and ten victories.

Even the maps are not allowed, so why fight? !
Huang Lin didn't know the reason, shook his head and said:
"I don't know what the rest of this picture is like, but I can be sure that there are many mistakes and omissions in this part where the sea and land connect!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and slid across the coastline on the map.

Its path is from Nichinan, Jiuzhen, Jiaozhi, Ningyue, Hepu to Longchuan.

It is equivalent to the "Vietnam Guangping" of later generations along the coastline to Shanwei, Guangdong.

Only then did Song Que understand what Huang Lin meant by the sea line, and his expression calmed down.

The production of maps has always been an extremely huge project. For thousands of years, the eyes of the world have only been on the mountains and rivers, and very few people have taken into account the sea area. It is normal if there are mistakes or omissions here.

Thinking of this, Song Que said:
"Are you sure the sea line in this map is wrong?"

"Of course, not to mention anything else, Huang can be sure based on Fangda Island in Zhuya County alone!"

Huang Lin also clicked on Hainan Island while speaking.

He compared the official maps of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and he was very sure that the South China Sea Island was "far away".

According to the data measured by Zheng He's voyages to the west, the width of the Qiongzhou Strait is about 9 feet, but the width on the map in front of us, calculated proportionally, starts at [-] feet.

Seeing that he was so sure, Song Que silently put away the map.

"The old man wants to see how accurate you can be!"

It's not that he is stubborn, it's that maps before the Southern Song Dynasty were all like this.

Huang Lin didn't bother to touch the tiger's beard any more, straightened his expression, and said solemnly:

"Lord Song, we can talk about the information and ships in detail later. I still have something very important!"

"Oh? What?"

Seeing his serious expression, Song Que immediately knew that this matter was extremely important. After putting down the tea cup he had just picked up, Song Que asked intently.

Huang Lin slowly spit out two words:

"food!"

"food?"

Song Que frowned.

It's not that he thinks food and grass are unimportant, on the contrary, anyone with a little vision knows the truth that "the three armies are not moving, food and grass go first".

At this time, Lingnan has food and grass that can be used by 20 troops for five years all year round, so in the short term, the importance of food and grass is not too high.

Huang Lin didn't know about this, so he said to himself:
"To be precise, it is a rice seed! It is a high-yield and drought-tolerant rice seed that is ripened three times a year!"

"This is impossible! How can there be such a god in the world?!"

Song Que, who had very little expression, finally changed his expression drastically!

　Nanhai County in the Sui Dynasty was in the area from Guangzhou to Hong Kong
