Villager of Daming

Chapter 665: The ship is about to travel far away. Instrument management

After Zhu Xiongying finished his meal, a cup of oranges was brought to him. Oranges are the best in season now. They are cut from reeds, steamed and dried, and are natural beverage tubes.

It comes in a transparent glass bottle. After taking a few sips, the little guy looked at the position of the juice in the bottle. He didn't know whether he was estimating whether he could finish it or was afraid he wouldn't have enough.

Then she closed her eyes while drinking. The maid holding the bottle felt her hand sinking and carefully pulled out the straw.

The smile on Zhu Wentian's face became more and more natural. This child was not supposed to appear. Historically, it was the next year, and then he died at the age of eight, and then Queen Ma died the next year.

Concubine Sun should die next year, but it is obviously impossible. With such medical and health conditions, it is really not easy for Lao Zhu.

Relatives died one after another, until in the end Zhu Biao was gone, and all his plans were in vain, but he still persisted in clearing up the heroes who had too much power for future generations.

Concubine Sun...

Concubine Sun is pregnant again. This is her fourth daughter. The first one died so badly that she couldn't do anything about it. The fourth one died at birth?
Impossible!This nutrition is so good, and now there is medicine in the laboratory. What disease can lead to death?
"Hanhan! Let's go, our son is asleep." When Zhu Wentian was thinking about things, Zhu Biao pulled his sleeves.

"Ah! Let's go! Yeah!" Zhu Wentian responded and followed out.

……

Two hours later, the fleet suddenly began to speed up. The coal and clean water on the big ship were replenished, and other things were also delivered.

After the critical 160 miles, we passed the canal location in Jiangdu County, Yangzhou Prefecture. The Yangtze River traveled up and down the river. From this section of the canal, there were not so many ships.

There are no ships on the sea to transport goods here. The other Yangtze River waterways only have boats crossing the river and fishermen, and there are very few.

The steam engine fleet exerted its power and left other ships behind. Those ships would not enter the sea anyway.

No small boat with a steam engine could go too far into the sea, and in the end there were only two ships left, one with two thousand dan and one with [-] dan.

There are 500 people on the two thousand stone ship, and 3000 people on the ten thousand stone ship.

But don't worry about the lack of guards, there are also large ships of normal wood. The nearby ships of the Ming Dynasty Navy will come over, and there are small ships that have gone to say hello in advance.

As soon as the wheels of the steam engine and ship turned, combined with the speed of the river water and the power of the sails in the crosswind, everyone finally felt what speed was.

There were no boats ahead, so the team let go and ran.

"Can't we run two hundred miles in this hour? No wonder Ding Chen and the others came back so quickly."

Zhu Yuanzhang held the railing on the deck with his hand, his hair and beard were blown by the wind, and he gasped hard.

"Your Majesty, our team has made many mistakes, otherwise it would have been faster to come back."

Tang He heard Zhu Yuanzhang mention himself and immediately followed suit.

At first, these people came in rotation and didn't sleep. Then when the Yellow River opened up, they walked on land for a while, and then entered the water.

By the way, I also went to Xi'an Mansion to replenish coal. In the past, I had abandoned a lot of baggage in pursuit of speed.

“In the future, places along all rivers must have good coal, yes, it’s called thermal coal, not coke, and clean water.

It's like flying. You have to carry the coal yourself. There is no way to go overseas. There should be supplies in the rivers of Ming Dynasty.

Bowen, if you travel far away, can you use the star-pulling technique?Our Ming Dynasty will send many ships to foreign trade in the future. "As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, his mind jumped again, and he asked Liu Ji about star-pulling techniques.

Liu Bowen didn't care if his prayer for rain failed, that had nothing to do with him, but looking at the positioning of the stars, he had no problem.

He was about to answer, but suddenly paused: "Your Majesty, I can use the star-pulling technique here, but I want to come to Xiaqiu Village..."

As soon as he said this, the ministers looked at the chief again, "Come on, it's your turn, you can do it!"Didn’t you learn a lot of skills from the masters?Take two steps!
The village chief was not afraid at all and nodded vigorously: "Your Majesty, our village has a theodolite and a sextant. When used together, all positions can be determined. It is like this..."

The chief introduced the theodolite and sextant. These things are too simple. We have already made a music box, but we still need this technology?
The ministers immediately listened carefully. The chief did not use too many terminology or new terms. He only introduced two kinds of equipment in plain English. These two things should be used together to be more accurate.

Of course, seafarers need to have a certain knowledge base, and those who cannot read will not be considered.

Liu Bowen listened and nodded, convinced. Xiaqiu Village has such a profound heritage. Why would an expert tell such a thing to the village chief?

How many things are there that you don’t know?This can be true for everyone you teach, but you yourself...

Some ministers couldn't understand at all, what about this angle and that distance?There are also stars, moon, sun and so on.

Horizon understands that things on the water are also on the grassland. Standing on the mountain you can see the sun earlier than on the ground...

What comes next is star-pulling, but with better instruments to measure it.

"Zhu Yichang, you are right. Let me ask you, what if there are no stars, moon and sun? It is cloudy, very cloudy. What should you do?"

Hu Weiyong suddenly interrupted. He stared hard at Li Chang's eyes, trying to give Li Chang a sense of oppression.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to eat tonight?" The head of the village ignored Hu Weiyong at all. So what about you, Zuo Cheng?You are still staring at me, what do you think you are capable of?
If you dare to glare again, my idiot will beat you in front of His Majesty. The beating will be in vain, hum!
"It's getting dark soon? The sun is going to set. What time is it?" Zhu Yuanzhang cooperated with the chief in speaking.

He knew that Hu Weiyong had a group of people, including the people who had problems at the market in Xiaqiu Village before, but they were all Hu Weiyong's, but they were dead.

This is what he fears the most. At this moment, he wants to see who else will jump out to support Hu Weiyong. Yang Xian from before should die.

Li Shanchang and Liu Ji both knew how to avoid and retreated on their own. Now that Liu Ji's son is good, give him another chance.

Wang Guangyang went to Guangdong to participate in politics, and Hu Weiyong became the prime minister alone. What do you think?The power is in your hands!

Hu Weiyong's face instantly turned pale, angry and scared.

Zhu Wentian took out a handful of fennel beans from his pocket and handed them over: "Eat, here, it smells good! You, um! Hey hey hey hey!"

Uh-huh!A large group of people looked over.

Hu Weiyong's face turned red again, and he felt uncomfortable looking at it, but he still took the fennel beans and forced out a smile: "Thank you Hanhan!"

"Hey! Hanhan, I, uh, uh!" Zhu Wentian said, and took out a handful of fennel beans and came to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Here, eat, you two, uh!"

'Bang! "Hu Zuocheng, Hu Zuocheng! Wake up, someone is coming! Hu Zuocheng fainted."

As soon as Zhu Wentian finished speaking, Hu Weiyong over there was slapped on the deck. It hurt to look at him, and he was face down.

Others nearby shouted, "Look for the doctor to come over and see, what's going on?"
"Huh? No, no! It's poisonous! I didn't eat it, no, it's not poisonous..." Zhu Wentian became anxious and explained that the beans were not poisonous.
