Chapter 369 The giant ship 'The Tower'

The summer of the fourth year of Baojing.The drought sweeping the north has finally receded.But this year's grain production reduction in the north is a foregone conclusion.

In the backyard of Qingzhou government office, Hu Jubai was talking with Zhang Wei.Today Hu Susu went to inspect the workshop, Hu Qinghao went to the bank to check the accounts, and Hu Jingmo went to the port to inspect.There is only one Hu Jubai at home.

This rare opportunity to be alone in a thousand years made Hu Jubai change from his usual dignified and generous posture, but curled up, curled up in Zhang Wei's arms to play with stickers.

The two got bored for a while, and then Hu Jubai said to Zhang Wei out of breath, "Husband, daddy has sent a letter asking if we want to hoard some food."

Zhang Wei was hugging her, playing with curling her long black hair, their hair was of very good quality, smooth and thick, like black silk to the touch.

Listening to her words, Zhang Wei said a little strangely: "What is father doing?"

Hu Jubai smiled and said, "Isn't this the harvest of summer grain in the south? The merchants in Jinhua Mansion predict that the grain in the north will be greatly reduced this year, so they want to unite to hoard grain and plan to make a fortune."

Zhang Wei was taken aback when he heard the news, then sneered and said, "These businessmen are so courageous, they dare to do this?"

Hu Jubai looked at Zhang Wei's serious face, filled with love in his heart, he kissed Zhang Wei on the cheek involuntarily, and said happily, "Who knows, anyway, Daddy wrote to me to ask."

In this world, it is the rule of the big family that the man dominates the outside and the woman dominates the inside.The same is true in Zhang Wei's family. Zhang Wei is an official, and his wife manages Zhang Wei's property.

The investment and distribution of assets, the maintenance and expenditure of the elderly in the family are all in the responsibility of the wife.In a normal big family, the wife must be good at calculating and able to run the house properly.

The wife of a small family is naturally able to manage the house, and thrift is a virtue.As for the wives of rich families, they must learn the proper way and the way to make money.Being the young mistress of a wealthy family doesn't just mean being 'beautiful as a flower'!
Therefore, for such a purely business matter, Zhang's father bypassed Zhang Wei and directly discussed it with his daughter-in-law.But on this matter, Hu Jubai still planned to talk to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Our family doesn't do this kind of business that makes the country lose money. You can also tell your father that you don't want to do this kind of business."

Hu Jubai nodded, and suddenly hooked Zhang Wei's head with his arms and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's do it again while they're not here."

Zhang Wei couldn't bear the temptation of the vixen.Then at this time, a voice rang out: "Wow! Sister, you actually took advantage of my absence to steal food with my husband!"

When the two of them saw it, it was Hu Qinghao who had rushed home!As soon as she entered the door, she saw her sister and brother-in-law making out, and she immediately expressed that she could not accept it.

"I want to come with you too!" She put down her cruel words, and immediately rushed forward!

The harmonious and loving daily life of the Zhang family has begun again!

Over the past few days, Zhang Wei has been able to receive a drop of merit every few days.At first, he thought it was the merit of the rain, but later he realized that it was actually the merit brought to him by the windmill.

There is no merit for inventing a windmill. The source of merit is that after the windmill is vigorously promoted, it will bring people well-being, and only then will there be merit.

With the promotion of windmills, Qingzhou Prefecture and some prefectures began to irrigate the land independently, directly irrigated tens of thousands of mu of land that was inconvenient to irrigate, and directly increased grain production.

Food is the foundation of everything and the lifeblood of farmers.Such a feat is naturally worthy of the merits of heaven.

Different from the merits produced by cotton, the benefits of cotton are only obtained by the people near Tianmen County, and will disappear later.The benefits of windmills will benefit the world. When windmills spread all over the country in the future, the merits Zhang Wei will receive at that time will be endless!
As long as there is enough time, it is not impossible for Zhang Wei to become a fairy with these merits!

However, Zhang Wei still wants to refine the Sacred Heart Pill now that he has obtained the merit.

He had already refined a Sacred Heart Pill in the past two days, and after taking it, he figured out a good one.That is to use the Yinlong keel he got to make a boat!

The Yinlong keel is combined with steel to create an unprecedented Yinlong steel keel.Based on the Yinlong steel keel, a big boat was made.

So why do you want to do this?

Because according to Zhang Wei who took the Sacred Heart Pill, after doing so, this ship will allow rampant soldiers to act as sailors and move around in the Three Realms.To put it simply, this is a large manned magic weapon!
Large-scale manned magic weapons are very rare. In the ancient demon court era, there was a moon ship that was a large-scale manned magic weapon.But the moonship eventually disappeared.

To complete this treasure, Zhang Wei not only needs to provide the Yinlong keel, but also needs more than 600 tons of steel... If converted, that is [-] million jin of steel.This amount is nothing to a steel mill.

After planning in this way, Zhang Wei took Baigongyan people to the shipyard and steel factory and placed his order.

The Yinlong keel will be added to the molten steel, and blacksmiths are experts at this step.Then the steel that matches the keel of the Yin Dragon will be forged into the keel of the ship, and delivered to the shipyard for completion.

It was the first time for the craftsmen in the shipyard to use their means to create a magic weapon, and they were still a little apprehensive. After all, the previous treasures were all made by monks.But this time Zhang Wei gave them this opportunity, they were both apprehensive and full of energy!
But it doesn't matter, Baigongyan people will guide them.

..............................................................................

To the west of Qingzhou Mansion, there is a hilly area, with low earth mountains rising one after another, stretching into the distance.The trees here are lush and the grass is luxuriant. There are no large carnivores in the hills, but there are many animals such as wild foxes, hares, and pheasants.

There are often men who get lost here, and widows who have lost men often come here to cry. No matter what, this place is a place where strangers should not enter for ordinary people.

Here is Qingqiu!
On this day, a shadowy man fell from the sky.Standing in the wilderness, he called out to the open space: "Yao Shun, the monster clan, please see the Tushan fox clan."

His voice spread far away, and after a while, a fox came out from the grass.She turned her head to look at Yao Shun, and then made a clear voice.

"This guest, my master has invited me, please follow me."

This white-haired fox has no stray hairs all over its body, and it sits upright like a big dog.After hearing her words, Yao Shun walked towards her directly.

The fox immediately moved and ran in one direction.And Yao Shun followed behind.

The fox ran in the hills, and Yao Shun followed closely behind.In this place, no matter how you run, you will not catch up with the leading fox in front of you.And without this guiding fox, you can't reach Qingqiu Dongtian either.

The white fox is leading the way, and she will stop from time to time to wait for Yao Shun, to make sure that Yao Shun is not lost before moving on.The road to Qingqiu is tortuous, and it is easy for visitors to get lost.

Not long after walking, Yao Shun's eyes suddenly opened up, and a rural scenery appeared in front of him.

In front of you is the paddy fields, many little demons in brown clothes and fox heads are plowing the fields.The hands, feet and bodies of these little demons are all in human shape, the only difference is that the head is a fox head.With such a body, they can do delicate work, and they can also plow the fields and weave cloth.

The Tushan Fox Clan is a monster clan with a long history, which can be traced back to the Primordial Chaos Period.Because of their long history, their living habits still maintain the legacy of ancient times.

Entering Qingqiu Cave, the white fox leading the way in front of him suddenly changed into a handsome girl wearing a skirt.She bowed to Yao Shun, and then said: "Guests, please follow me, the owner is waiting for you in the mansion."

The two walked through the fields, entered the village, and then entered a large house under the watchful eyes of many vixens.The form of the house is old, but when Yao Shun saw it, he sighed softly and said, "Unexpectedly, I can see the buildings of the demon court era here."

His tone was full of nostalgia, and his voice was much softer.

At this time, a cold voice sounded: "Time can change many things. Although these buildings are in the style of the demon court era, the people who live in them have changed."

When Yao Shun heard this, he turned his head and saw a beautiful woman looking at him expressionlessly.

The girl in Ruqun saluted her, and said respectfully: "Report to the master, the guests have been brought."

The woman nodded slightly, and then said to Yao Shun: "Prince Yao, please go inside."

Not long after, the two sat down cross-legged, and the quiet foxfire palace lantern lit up the room.

"Prince Yao, I don't know why you are here?" The woman in front of him poured Yao Shun a cup of tea and asked softly.

Her demeanor is dignified and generous, with a sense of grace.

Yao Shun said straight to the point: "I heard that you are looking for "The Book of the Green Fox"?"

Hearing the words "The Book of the Green Fox", the woman holding the teacup shook her hand slightly, then she calmly put down the teacup and said softly, "This is not a secret."

Yao Shun smiled and said, "Since your Nine-Tailed Sky Fox left this world, your Fox Clan has never had a real fairy-level master. For thousands of years, you have been looking for the "Nine-Tailed Sky Fox" "The Book of the Green Fox" is to give birth to the next Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, and create another true immortal master."

The woman in front of her didn't say a word. After a long time, she said, "Since you already understand, why are you asking me?"

"If I have news about "The Green Fox Book", will you help me?" Yao Shun said suddenly.

The woman in front of her frowned, and said: "With the efforts of my fox family for thousands of years, if I don't know where the "Green Fox Book" is, how will Prince Yao know?"

"You don't have to provoke me, just tell me, if I tell you about "The Green Fox Book" and help you get it, how will you help me?"

Hearing Yaoshun's words, the vixen in front of him frowned even more.She said: "I know that Prince Yao has always wanted to restore the ancient heavenly court, but the general trend of humanity is irreversible, and we don't want to get involved in your affairs."

Hearing what the vixen said, Yao Shun laughed instead: "No, my judgment is exactly the opposite of yours. I think the power of the human race is coming to an end, and our demon race will rise again!"

"Not to mention anything else, this year's drought is proof!"

"The heavens, the underworld, and the court have invested a lot of yin virtue this year, and they can only control the drought in the north. Just imagine, if there is no yin virtue accumulated by humans over the years, this severe drought will sweep the entire Daqian, and it will definitely shake the foundation of the human race."

"If it was the peak of humanity, would something like this happen?"

"These are the signs, the signs of the decline of the human race! They are also the signs of the rise of our monster race!"

Yao Shun's tone was fanatical and firm, his words were extremely contagious, and well-founded, convincing.The vixen on the opposite side also had to think carefully.

After a while, she still shook her head and said: "The ups and downs of luck are normal. People have high and low luck, and so do the human race. I don't think a temporary setback is a sign of the decline of the human race."

Yao Shun smiled and said, "I agree with you, but if we put in more effort when the luck of the human race is at a low point, will things be tilted towards us?"

"Human beings have a saying, 'Three points are determined by the sky, seven points depend on hard work', the human race can conquer the sky, can't we the monster race?"

Speaking of this, Yao Shun paused for a moment, and then continued: "I don't need you Fox clan to agree now, I just need a promise from you, if the time is right, you can help me. It's like you It's the same as investing in the human race back then!"

Speaking of this, the fox girl in front of her couldn't help but ponder.Investing in the human race back then was the most successful decision made by their Qingqiu fox. The fox clan can still live in the hinterland of Dagan, this investment is very important.

Seeing the loose fox in front of him, Yao Shun said, "Actually, your "Book of the Green Fox" has always been in the hands of the Locust God."

As soon as the words came out, the female vixen immediately said: "This is impossible! We..."

Before she finished speaking, Yao Shun interrupted her and said, "You didn't find it in the locust god's cave, did you? That's because the locust god cheated his death that time, and he took some precious things away with him." !"

"Fake death?!" The female vixen was a little suspicious.

"Of course, the locust god used a tricky method, intending to go through thousands of reincarnations and understand the heart of the world. Promote to the true immortal dao fruit!"

"The heart of the world of mortals?!"

"How is it? Does it sound familiar? This method of refining the mind in the world of mortals is what is recorded in the "Green Fox Book". So, do you think I am lying to you?"

"The locust god is the god of the rules of heaven and earth, not my fox clan, how could he be able to refine his mind in the world of mortals..." This female vixen is still 1 in disbelief.

"Of course he has his way, and I can tell you that he is about to succeed. So, if you can help me, I can thread the needle, not only help you get the "Blue Fox Book", but also let you Get his method of 'mortal mortal refinement'!"

Yao Shun's words directly silenced the female vixen in front of her.Because the temptation is too great!
"So, I still need to think about it." She said with difficulty.This kind of behavior of standing on the sidelines, if done wrong, can easily be lost.So she has to be careful.

Yao Shun nodded after hearing this, and said, "In that case, I won't bother you any more, and I'll take my leave first."

After Yao Shun left, the vixen was still sitting in the room.At this time, a figure appeared behind her.

"Sister, what do you think?" the female vixen asked the visitor.

The person who came was none other than her younger sister, Tu Shan Nvluo.

Tu Shannvluo sat down on her knees, thought for a moment and said to her sister: "According to Yao Shun's words, the "Green Fox Book" should indeed be in the hands of the Locust God. Our judgment back then was correct."

"It's just..." She pondered for a while, but continued: "It's just that I don't like reviving the Demon Court with him."

"Why?" Tu Shan Wanwan asked.

"It's hard for me to say. But look, Zhang Wei of the human race invented the windmill and rescued the people of the place. The appearance of such a talent does not mean that the human race is declining."

"Back then, the decline of the Yaozu was one of the biggest signs that the Yaozu had a serious lack of success. The older generation of the Yaozu was getting old, but the new generation of the Yaozu was hard to support. Such a shortage of talents made the Yaozu decline. As for the current human beings, I have not seen this scene."

What Tu Shan Nvrao said was well-founded, and Tu Shan Wanwan also believed it.Her younger sister has been smart since she was a child, and she is well-read and extremely assertive. Her words have always been an important reference.

"However, this is still related to the development of our Qingqiu fox. This "Qinghu Book"..."

Having said that, Tu Shannvluo was also silent.This "Blue Fox Book" is indeed an important item related to the survival of their fox clan.

After thinking about it, Tu Shannvluo still said: "Since this is the case, let's take it one step at a time. This Yao Shun's idea is good, but things may not go according to his idea. We may get the "Green Fox Book", Don't offend the human race."

Hearing what her sister said, Tu Shan Wanwan could only sigh and say, "I hope so..."

............................................................

In the winter of the fourth year of Baojing, there was no snow in the capital.The North Sea is not frozen, and the people who want to skate are disappointed.Qin Tianjian sent a memorial to the Ministry of Rites, worrying that there will be no snow in winter, and there may be changes next year.It was this memorial that reached the Ministry of Rites, like a cow in mud, without any reaction. (Qin Tianjian is under the management of the Ministry of Rites.)
This winter, Qingzhou Shipyard, which has been busy for half a year, finally built an unprecedented large ship.

This boat is 98 feet long, 25 feet high, [-] feet wide, and has a draft of [-] feet.Properly a sea carrier.However, due to the extensive use of wooden boards, the weight of this ship is not as heavy as that of an all-iron aircraft carrier.

The main reason for making such a large ship with a wooden structure is because of the huge Yinlong steel keel. Only with this thing as a support can it be possible to build such a huge ship.

When the ship was not built, the craftsman asked a sharp question.

"How will such a large ship be launched after it is built?"

How to launch such a huge monster on the shore is a problem. It needs a draft of more than three feet to float. It is impossible for Qingzhou Shipyard to build a large pool three feet deep!

But this problem was easily solved by Zhang Wei.

When the main body of the ship was completed and it was time to carry out the launching test, Zhang Wei released his rampant soldiers.

Thousands of rampant soldiers flew under the boat, lifted the boat abruptly, and sent it to the surface of the sea, completing the water entry test!
This shocked the craftsmen of the shipyard!
The Yinlong keel can absorb Yin Qi, turning the boat into a boat wrapped in Yin Qi.And with the yin qi package, rampant soldiers can support this boat and turn themselves into waves!

If it was an ordinary ship, without the Yin Dragon absorbing the Yin Qi and enveloping the hull, even tens of millions of rampant soldiers would not be able to support a small boat.Because this is something from the Yang world, Yin soldiers don't have this ability!
But with the addition of Yin Qi, this matter becomes different.It's like a big living person, and it takes a lot of Yin soldiers to lift this big living person.But as long as this person dies, a Yin soldier can drag the corpse and run all over the street.

A living person weighs over a mountain with one breath!This is the difference between yin and yang.

Now that this boat has the keel of a Yin dragon, it is equivalent to a boat of Yin and Yang, which can support the water in the mortal world and the ghosts in the underworld!Even in places where there is no water, relying on these rampant soldiers, the boat can be carried to fly.

This is the magic weapon for large-scale manned vehicles!Relying on the large-scale manned magic weapon made by mortals!

On the day the ship was completely completed, Zhang Wei took his wives to inspect the ship.Ordinary people cannot stay in this boat wrapped in Yin Qi for too long, otherwise they will be eroded by Yin Qi.

But Zhang Wei also has a way, that is to let the living people board the ship in shifts, if it is not possible, then take pills to resist the erosion of Yin Qi.And the biggest manpower on this ship is actually rampant soldiers!

Zhang Wei's rampant soldiers, since they have artillery battalions, they will have navy divisions next!
The name of the new ship is "Wei Wei", which is Zhang Wei's personal warship, but since Zhang Wei is now the commander of the Qingzhou Navy, this ship will also replace the Qingzhou and become the new flagship of the Qingzhou Navy!

Zhang Wei spent 500 million taels of silver to manufacture this boat, consuming most of his assets.Fortunately, he has a rich old father who supported him with 300 million taels...

Doing silk business really makes money!After all, luxury is profiteering!

Now that the ship has been built, the rampant soldiers are stationed on it. The ship is moored in the port, and it has a gloomy feeling. Coupled with its huge body, it makes people daunting.

Qingzhou Port is an ice-free port. In winter, Zhang Wei took his wives and some elite Qingzhou sailors, and then drove the Weiwei to sea.

The elite of the Qingzhou Navy came to teach the rampant soldiers how to operate the ship, which is a technical job.Zhang Wei gave ten small ginseng bone pills to each of the elites on board to help them strengthen their physique and resist the erosion of Yin Qi.

On the boat, a sailor shouted loudly: "Put down the sail! The sail must face the wind! Why are you so stupid? If you don't hold the sail against the wind, what is the use of the sail?"

The rampant soldiers who had been scolded obediently lowered their sails and began to look for an angle to face the wind.On the other side, the rampant soldier who was at the helm was also scolded!
"The most important thing about steering is to watch the wind and the current. If you sail against the current, you will retreat. If you go against the current, how will your boat go?"

"Look at the flow! Look at the flow! What's the use of looking at me? Is there a flow on my face?"

"Look at the wind! Look at the wind! The wind doesn't understand you, don't you understand the wind? Don't look at me! I don't understand you!"

The sailors roared loudly, and they were also very anxious.But this group of rambunctious soldiers are people on land, so they have no experience in sailing, so they can only listen and study silently.

Finally, they were also yelled at by the grumpy sailors!They immediately shouted: "Fuck the wind! Fuck the water! I don't believe I can't go without the wind!"

The sailors were taken aback by the sudden outbreak of rampant soldiers. They were very good before!
Then, they just watched these rampant soldiers fly to the side of the ship, and then these rampant soldiers roared forcefully, abruptly pushed the towering ship to turn, and headed against the current!

"No wind, no water! We can also make this boat move!" the shouted rampant shouted excitedly, rampant's life is so strong!
