Ji Tang

Chapter 217
The three little ones were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Did they lift a stone and hit their own feet?

If they had known this, it would be better not to say it. They still wanted to go with their husband to enjoy the scenery of the sea. Now if they say it, Uncle Xie knows, then will Aunt Ji's family not know?

What the hell!
Given Aunt Ji's love for her husband, if she knew that he was going to go on an adventure at sea, wouldn't she have cried to him?

My husband is usually the most filial, but he probably gave up the idea before his aunt could cry. So what should they do?
This incident taught them a profound lesson, that is, talk less, especially about your husband.

Next, Sanxiao and Mrs. Zhang talked for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

One thing they did tell the truth just now is that they are indeed very busy.Regardless of financial income and expenditure, of course, now there is only expenditure and no gain.

But they all need to be reviewed. This is a task given to them by the teacher, and it is also a test.

According to the teacher's words, students who have not experienced practice are not good students.Only students who survive the hardships can truly succeed.

The task of building a shipyard this time is to give them a professional test. If they can pass it or satisfy their husband, it means that they are successful and can choose to start their own business.

If he doesn't pass, he can only stay here and graduate when he is satisfied.

This makes them dare not be careless. If they really can't graduate and other junior students have graduated, then they will be embarrassed to see others, and they might as well wipe their necks as a vengeance.

Their task seemed simple: to design a ship that could sail on the sea based on the knowledge they learned from the master craftsmen and shipbuilders.

Listen clearly, it's a sea ship.

According to Mr. Tang, the current naval warships of the Tang Dynasty can only swim in the bathhouses inland, but as long as they reach the sea, they will only be capsized by wind and waves.

Therefore, they are asked to design a ship that can sail in wind and waves according to the conditions at sea, and also has both attack and defense capabilities. This is simply crazy!

They didn't know whether Mr. Xiang was crazy or not, but after they came to Mingzhou and learned about the situation from those on the sea, they felt that they were going crazy first.

Originally, these things were the experiences that those people gained in exchange for their own lives, and people who were not close to them would not talk about them.

Don't think that only the people of the Tang Dynasty knew how to hide all the good things. In fact, other ethnic groups are just like birds. Do you think there are so many ethnic groups in the world why they can't keep many good things?
It’s not that many good things are in the hands of a few top-level elites, and ordinary people don’t even have the opportunity to come into contact with them.

When these powerful people died, they were either inherited by others, or they were buried underground because they were hidden too deeply and were not found.

But when they found out that these three young men were the disciples of that noble man from Chang'an, they really knew everything and said everything they could.

How could a successful businessman miss such an opportunity to get in touch with that noble person?

After listening to the stories of sea merchants, they had a preliminary understanding of the dangers and difficulties at sea.
The sea and sky are vast and vast.The ancients said that "the sea is obscured", which expresses the confusion of those who look at the sea.

When human beings move from land to sea, they use ships as carriers to ride the wind and waves and enter a new living space.

The helmsman must master new life skills, etc., and realize the transition from inland to sea survival, in order to be able to make a difference in the stormy waves.

Take Mingzhou as an example. Mingzhou is adjacent to the southeastern sea and is one of the birthplaces of shipping trade, connecting the two major markets of foreign and domestic markets.At this time, ships would sail out of port every winter and sail to Shucheng before officially entering the deep sea. They would "live in winter" in Nanwuli, wait for cargo, and return the following year. If they sailed continuously, they would enter the Indian Ocean, which is windy and rough.

A ship sailing on the sea is like a floating community, including people of all kinds.

Sailors, stewards, operators and service slaves for everyone.The captain who drives a sea-going ship has to control the entire voyage, divide the work carefully, and keep everyone in their place.

Zhang Fan rides the wind as the basic driving force, the people on the ship are stable, and the management system is similar. These are mature experiences that everyone has gained after years of exploration.

Wang Xuance was good at communication, so he asked questions, Ji Qing was smart, so he supplemented them, and Liu Xiancheng was responsible for recording.

Chen rice with less moisture, Nisu, flour, dried Hu biscuits, dry steamed biscuits, dried glutinous rice cakes, Nian Tou, Bi Bo, Heli Le, pepper, asafoetida, stone honey, sucrose, etc., honey, sugar cane, etc.

This is the list of food at sea that they finally summarized after asking many maritime merchants. It includes both staple food and non-staple food, as well as various things that they don’t understand their functions.

In order to let them know more intuitively what it was, a maritime merchant asked his servant to bring a lot of physical samples for them to identify.

This is the benefit that power brings. You must know that these are things that they can survive. Although it is not a secret among various maritime merchants, for those who do not understand, this is a life-saving thing!
When things got to this point, the three children all knew that survival at sea was not as simple as they and others thought, so they asked more detailed questions, trying not to miss any mistakes.

I also understand why when they came here, my husband asked them to find these people first and understand before making a decision.

Only then did I know the good intentions of my husband, and I was also shocked by his vast knowledge.You must know that without personal experience of these things, who can know so clearly?
In fact, what they don’t know is that sugarcane is a durable crop and its juice contains vitamins. Chewing raw sugarcane can reduce the risk of scurvy on ships where vegetables and fruits are scarce.

This is also the wisdom of the ancients, but this wisdom was gained at the cost of living human lives.

"The next step is a matter of life and death - getting fresh water." A maritime businessman lamented.

"Everyone knows that seawater is salty and bitter and not suitable for eating. Once the fresh water is exhausted, death will be imminent. Therefore, how to obtain fresh water has been a major problem in maritime navigation in the past dynasties."

Liu Xiancheng quickly changed a piece of paper and listened carefully.

At this time, they had no chance to take any chances. They knew the dangers at sea, so they had to understand them clearly.

Otherwise, not only will you be irresponsible for yourself, but you will also be irresponsible for those who use this record of yourself and others in the future.

Draw water.According to the nautical charts of predecessors, water was collected at fixed points along the line.In order to prevent stranding, it is not advisable to dock oneself, but to put down a small boat called a "firewood boat" to carry fresh water and some necessities.

Keep fresh.Fresh water will deteriorate if stored for a long time, so it must be kept fresh before changing the water.Bamboo tubes are the simplest way to store water. As for other preservation methods, they did not know the details based on their knowledge.

rationing.Drinking water on ships is hard to come by and is usually rationed.

Therefore, in this process, fresh water needs to be allocated reasonably, and unnecessary water used for bathing will be avoided as much as possible.
