When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 196 Untitled
"Sneeze!" Wei Shanzhou rubbed his slightly red nose and wrapped the fur on his body.

After late autumn, the northwest wind becomes colder day by day.

The tribesmen behind Weishan Zhou, carrying baskets of skins on their backs, followed the people who escorted them away and got on the raft, following the Xinshui River to Xiaodian Ze.

Then cross from Xiaodianze to Xichichi and head east.

"Sure enough, as I thought, it was all flooded." Wei Shanzhou clicked his tongue and looked at the former site of Ji's family.

Now half of the silted water has dispersed, only the pile foundations they drove are exposed.

The pile foundation was covered with mud, it was really miserable.

After crossing the West Lake and arriving at the former stronghold of the Yu family, this was the battle point between the Ji family and the Yu family. When they saw the Xin family's team, they could only watch them leave.

After all, the Xin family looked like a caravan with a lot of skins on their backs. They might have gone to support the troops in the south, but they didn't dare to fight, otherwise it would be a breach of contract.

"They really don't dare to hit us?"

"I've already informed you." Qing Yan scratched his face, "The clan leader told them that this time he would send skins to Dayi merchants as tribute. Who dares to rob this? I'm afraid the whole clan is not planning to serve as sacrifices to Dayi merchants. ?”

"I see." Wei Shanzhou nodded. The name of Dayi Shang is indeed very useful.

But this was the first time he saw someone like Xin who used it all the time.

"Normally, Dayi merchants don't have much control over the border areas. If you keep using it like this, will you get bored one day?" As an elder of Qi Fang, Wei Shanzhou often uses the name Dayi merchants. The one who is arrogant and domineering.

At first, everyone might want to keep things quiet, but one day it crosses the line, and that's war.

That's how Dayi Shang lost Heluo and almost collapsed after being attacked by a surprise attack.

"This... is indeed possible. But it is also true that they cannot defeat us." Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "We will not use the name of Dayi merchants to bully others. As long as they don't mess with us."

Wei Shanzhou nodded.

This time, thanks to the blessing of the northwest wind and the strong leather sail on Xin's raft, it took them only one day to reach the Tianjin estuary, which originally took two days.

"It's really good. I didn't expect that you have Xin family and you have talented people who can build rafts." Wei Shanzhou jumped off the raft and felt that the north is indeed more suitable for rafts. After all, the water here is very shallow and it is easy to run aground with a canoe.

The raft is relatively short and has a shallow draft, which is indeed unusual.

"These are the skills of the Yunma tribe. By the way, find the buried ship quickly. Let's help too and get it done as soon as possible, otherwise no one knows whether the weather will freeze along the coast." Qingyan didn't hide it either. Behind him were several men from the Yunzhou tribe, ready to take a look at their boats.

Wei Shanzhou smiled and said, "Okay, over there, we can just go there."

Wei Shanzhou did not hide it, because he was confident that people with the Xin family would not be able to learn this technique.

Because the technology trees of the two tribes are different, they ordered canoes, while Xin's still has rafts.

When the canoe was turned out, Qingyan was followed by people from the Yunzhou tribe who came up to help. When they touched the canoe, they all showed surprise: "This is made from a big tree dried in the shade and then chipped. Square! How much does it cost?" Kung Fu!”

Wei Shanzhou chuckled. The reason why their canoe can travel across the sea is because the boat shape has been drastically cut and flattened compared to the round canoes in the south.

The bottom of the boat is flat, the hull is square, and the bow and stern are as square as leather shoes.

However such a ship has two advantages.

First, the boat can be modified.

Second, the load capacity is relatively large.

For example, two canoes use wood as supports, and then the accessories are passed through the holes made by the two canoes, and the two sides are tied tightly with a large number of hemp ropes.

The tying method is also very particular. Only one rope can be used. It is necessary to ensure that the tail end of the wood extending in wraps the two ends so that the wood will not slide. The hemp rope acts as a washer and nut between the bolts.

Then after tying it, it is already very tight. You still need to leave the hemp rope at the front and back and soak it in fresh water to let it soak naturally and completely block the hemp rope from falling off.

Then use a raft to make a platform on the support, and erect a mast on the platform.The sails they brought were tied to the mast.

Then take the oars from the ground and wash them.

In this way, a double-masted canoe capable of transporting nearly a thousand kilograms is formed.

In addition to this big product, Qifang also has cylindrical canoes, but they put a counterweight log on the right side. The log also forms a tripod with the canoe, and a large number of hemp ropes are tied to fix the fulcrum to erect the mast.

It turns directly into a sailboat.

This kind of canoe can be slid by one person, and this kind of square canoe is very large, and the middle is completely hollowed out, so it can directly seat fifteen people.

When sailing on the Bohai Sea, as long as you don't encounter disturbing undercurrents or some annoying reefs, sailing is basically just watering.

"As expected of the Dongyi people who are the best at water."

Qingyan was very moved when he saw it.

I didn’t look at it carefully before, but now after looking at it thoroughly, I don’t know if I can imitate it myself.Wei Shanzhou is not afraid of them imitating it, because in the past few days, all the big trees in Youxin's territory have been swallowed up by wildfires.

The remaining wood is for future firewood and hunting grounds and will not be cut down under normal circumstances.

Moreover, there is no suitable place for shipbuilding on their territory, and there is no need for ships nearby. So what if you show them?
Even if you learn it, you won’t be able to use it.

A raft will do.

Just like that, Weishanzhou and Qingyan said goodbye the next day.

We agreed to trade again after the spring of next year.

Qingyan and the others packed up another batch of salt cloth left here and brought it back to the Xin family.

Walking near the yamen, Qingyan saw the suggestion box that Xin Qu had mentioned. Even if it was set up, no one would submit it. After all, just one word would be quite frustrating.

So I watched my kids study hard so that they could have the ability to give opinions in the future.

Now, all the little kids who were still having fun were forced to be educated as long as they could start studying.

But just as Qingyan was about to go to the Yamen to report the situation, he saw Tan again.

Tan was walking on the road, originally wanting to give his opinion, but no one on either side did so, and he was not too embarrassed.

Just wait and see.

Just when I was wondering whether to surrender, I suddenly heard a cry: "Chief, help us write! We are illiterate."

"I have something to do! You go find your own doll or someone else!" Xinqu was running.

"Wouldn't that be leaked?"

"You look for people who can't figure it out at first glance... Hey! Here's one!" Xin Qu was surrounded by a group of people. When he saw Tan, he shouted with joy: "Yes! Tan can write If you look for text, he will be absolutely fine."

Xin Qu ran to Tan and pushed him: "One pound of millet at a time, he will definitely be happy! I have other things to do, so I'll leave first!"

"Eh? Hey! Xinqu, you..." Tan was pushed and staggered, only to be picked up by a pair of thick arms.

There was no feminine softness in her angular face. A woman with hairy chest muttered: "Tan, let me tell you, I will write to your aunt first. My rabbit has given birth to cubs. I will pick one up for you later." "

"Don't listen to your aunt. You're not hungry for rabbit meat. If I give you a pound of millet, you should write that the tribe should be allowed to raise chickens on their own fields."

"Why raise chickens! They are smelly and noisy, why not raise rabbits! Rabbits are easy to raise and have lots of fur!"

"What are you arguing about! What are you arguing about? The homestead is so big now, we should plant peach trees, apricot trees, jujube trees, and pear trees so that we can have food all year round! My suggestion is a good one and must be promoted by the whole family. !”

"Tan! Don't listen to them. I'll give you three pounds of millet. Write to me first! Come on! Don't stay still!"

"Why should I write it to you! I'll give you five kilograms."

"I'll give you a piece of bacon."

Tan Meng circled around for a while, and suddenly became excited.

It turns out that being able to write is not useless, it will bring you wealth!
Posted!

"It's okay. I'll write it for you, one by one."

Xin Qu wiped his sweat and said, "Good boy, I almost died from being busy."

"Clan leader." Qingyan shouted.

"Oh, Qingyan, Qi Fang sent him off?"

"Well, let's send it off." Qingyan touched the robe and took out a wooden slip: "This is our survey and mapping. If there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask Xiu He Zao of the Yunzhou tribe."

"Okay." Xinqu took it.

"There is also salt cloth, which has been sent to the warehouse, just like the last batch..."

"Well, let's do it in the afternoon. We'll start cooking in the afternoon. You go there and select some disabled tribesmen. The skill of cooking salt will also be passed on."

Xin Qu did the calculation, frowned and said: "There are not many disabled tribesmen left. We will also bring the disabled and naturalized people who are not suitable for the battlefield. The Xin family will not give up on them. As long as we work hard, I will It also gives them the opportunity to become naturalized households.”

"Okay." Qingyan nodded and went to work.

He was also very used to Xin Qu directing him to work.

We have been working together like this for almost a year.
