Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 290 Seventh Wizard Huang Yueying (first change, ask for monthly ticket)

Although Liao Li's Fu brought a short-term reputation blow, it achieved long-term benefits.

So Liu Feng didn't mean to clarify or defend at all.Regardless of the flood, when the truth comes, they will all be dumbfounded.

Because of getting married, Liu Feng gave himself a few days off.

After the holiday, Liu Feng started to deal with the affairs of the three counties.

Taiwan's side is like Liu Feng's strategy set up early, to block the news, even the ship traffic.Crossing Jiangdong is too dangerous. If one's own courier is captured, Taiwan may be exposed.

So even Liu Feng didn't know what was going on there.

There are not many things to do in the other three counties, that is, to drill deep boreholes to survive the drought, and to improve the river channels to survive the floods.

Things like deep wells are simpler, and they are basically coming to an end now.Every village in Jiangxia, Changsha, and Jiujiang has fixed deep boreholes. The number is calculated according to the population, with three or four wells in the large ones and one or two wells in the small ones.

On the contrary, it is a troublesome thing to regulate the rivers. The water systems in the three counties are well developed, and there are countless large and small rivers, so the regulation is very labor-intensive.

The only good news is that it is now the autumn and winter exchanges and the number of labor force in the prime of life.Although it takes a lot of gold to maintain these labor forces, it is like running water. If Liu Feng hadn't robbed Jiangling once, I am afraid they would not be able to support it.But at this moment, Liu Feng couldn't care less.

As long as the river course is well-regulated, the losses during the flood can be reduced and more people under the rule can be preserved, which is more important than anything else.

Even the new director Liu Ba praised Liu Feng's move to improve the river for the benefit of the people, regardless of cost.

When I started to do things, I added three points of energy.It seems that there is a little sense of belonging.

This was unexpected by Liu Feng.

Just in this state where there are not many big things but small things are constantly happening, a month has passed.

On this day, Liu Feng was in his study reading the recent river improvement reports in Changsha, Jiangxia, and Jiujiang.

His expression was a bit dignified. Although the three counties together recruited 20 middle-aged laborers, there were too many water systems in the three counties. After more than a month, only one-tenth of them had been rectified.

By the time the floods occur in summer and autumn next year, the progress may only be completed.

"Hey, the land is vast and the population is sparse." Liu Feng put down the bamboo slips in his hand and sighed.

I don't know if it is possible to extort some people from Sun Quan during the drought. I heard that Sun Quan has been very diligent in attacking Shanyue recently, and he has captured hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people.

Hundreds of thousands.How much labor is this.

Liu Feng couldn't help swallowing his saliva. If there were hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people, there would be an extra [-] laborers.

In that way, not only can the river course be rehabilitated when the flood comes.It can also widen the Yangtze River and increase the flood discharge capacity.

This is short-term. In the long run, hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people are also a huge resource. You must know that the current population of the three counties is only 80.

Just not my kind.This made Liu Feng hesitate a little.

Just then, a maid came in.Let Liu Feng retreat from the plan in his heart.

"General, madam sent a servant to tell the general that the boat has been built." The maid immediately bowed to Liu Feng after entering the door.

The address of Liu Feng in the family is a bit confusing, for example, Huan'er calls Liu Feng a son, Cai Yu calls Liu Feng a general, Xiao Qiao calls Liu Feng a general, Huang Yueying, Cai Da calls Liu Feng a husband.

Everyone is different. ,

But the maids uniformly called Liu Feng the general.

It's just that Liu Feng was excited at this moment, no matter what happened to the maid.He rushed out with one stride.

What is a ship? Of course it is a ship. It is a ship that suppresses Sun Quan and the Jiangdong navy. A genius, although that girl has an unreliable personality, she is really reliable in her work.

In just one month, he was able to understand the principle of the boat, and even built the boat.

It really is a genius.

Thinking about how he was not happy to marry Huang Yueying at the beginning, now that he thinks about it, he is really good-looking because of the cheapness.That will be struck by lightning.

These thoughts just flashed in Liu Feng's mind, and his body rushed out of the study at an extremely fast speed, and came to the front yard.

There are several offices in the front yard, such as long history, master book, meritorious service, etc.This mansion used to belong to Huang Zu, and it has been greatly repaired.So there is a lot left.

Even if these courtyards are vacated, there is still a lot of space.Therefore, the yard that Huang Yueying needed was also arranged in the front yard.

Equipped with several carpenters, servants to order.

At this moment, in Huang Yueying's office yard in the front yard, Huang Yueying was kneeling on the ground, playing with the things on the case with great interest.

This thing is a boxy box with two wheels built outside the box.

The structure inside is somewhat sophisticated, but the main thing is that there is something similar to a footboard.Now Huang Yueying was fiddled with the soles of her feet with her jade hands in high spirits.

Make the outer paddle wheel rotate rapidly.

It took her a month to create this thing, and it took a lot of brain power to create it.Now while Huang Yueying was turning around with great interest, she was also a little proud.

However, the pride on Huang Yueying's face disappeared after a while, replaced by a strange expression.

She thought of the reward Liu Feng said, holding the baby.

These days, Liu Feng has never touched Huang Yueying, but Huang Yueying and Cai Da's yard are very close, so Huang Yueying can hear the faint panting sound coming from the opposite yard every night.

Cai Da's joyful breathing made Huang Yueying wonder.

She went through that process that night, and it was very painful.

Not to mention Huang Yueying's wild thoughts here, Liu Feng entered the yard very quickly.Seeing Huang Yueying's hands fiddling with the delicate parts on her hand.

Liu Feng's eyes lit up.

Although the shell is ugly, it doesn't look like a boat at all.But Liu Feng would not criticize Huang Yueying with such side details.

As long as the precise structure inside can be made.

"Not bad, not bad." Liu Feng stepped forward and came to Huang Yueying's side, looked at the parts on the case carefully, and nodded repeatedly.

"Why are you walking without sound?" Huang Yueying was taken aback, and at the same time, a touching blush rose on her face, she was still thinking about that embarrassing thing just now.

But fortunately, there was a veil blocking Huang Yueying, so she wouldn't be frightened like a little rabbit.

"What are you thinking about?" Liu Feng rolled his eyes. When he came in just now, he found that Huang Yueying seemed to be a little out of his mind. It was obviously her own reason.

But Liu Feng said, and his attention shifted from Huang Yueying's body to the parts.

It is a kind of pedal and gear.Step on it with your feet to make the outer paddle wheel rotate rapidly.

Among them, the power is determined according to the number of people.

It is such a small thing that the shipwrights couldn't make it after months of hard work.But Huang Yueying was created in just one month.

Looking at the rotating parts, Liu Feng was very excited.But then, he noticed some details.Turning to look at Huang Yueying, she said, "Is there only one pedal?"

"How is it convenient for me to do this? The position of the pedals can be placed at will according to the size of the hull." Huang Yueying lost her mind for a while, and when Liu Feng asked her, she explained.Then, Huang Yueying explained again,

According to Liu Feng's design, the boat should not be too big, but moderate.

But it does not mean that because there are only two pairs of paddle wheels, only two rows of positions can be made.In this regard, Huang Yueying also has some designs that allow fifty people to work together.Let the entire paddle wheel run at high speed.

At the end, Huang Yueying also reminded: "The shaft I am making now is made of wood. When building a ship, I must not use wood, but iron. So, you have to send some blacksmiths there."

"Yeah." Liu Feng nodded. Of course he knew this. To support such a big ship with so many people, it would be premature to make gears out of wood.

"Go, follow me." After looking at it for a while, Liu Feng picked up the parts on the case, and then pulled Huang Yueying outside.

"Where are you going?" Huang Yueying asked suspiciously being pulled by Liu Feng.

"This thing is too important. I'm afraid those shipwrights won't understand it. Why don't you come with me and explain it to those old shipwrights." Liu Feng explained while pulling Huang Yueying out.

For Liu Feng, time is running out now, and if there are good things, of course they must be made first.

For mass production, only the navy is equipped.Liu Feng will feel at ease.

After speaking, Liu Feng ignored Huang Yueying's displeasure.He dragged Huang Yueying out of the yard all the way, and when he came outside, he ordered someone to call Kou Shui and get the carriage ready.Depart for Xiakou.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage and left Xiling City that Liu Feng realized that Huang Yueying, who was sitting next to him, looked a little angry.

"What's wrong?" Liu Feng asked strangely.

"Hmph." Huang Yueying snorted coquettishly, and turned her head away.

"Don't want to go out? Or don't want to be with those shipwrights?" Liu Feng continued to ask.

"Hmph." Huang Yueying's answer was to let out a soft snort from the tip of her nose again.

"Oh." It's just that the haughty look didn't last long, because Liu Feng had already reached out and lifted Huang Yueying's veil, revealing the beautiful and delicate face inside.

This is the only trick to deal with Huang Yueying's weird character, once the veil is removed.This girl is a cowardly little girl who can no longer be cowardly.

With a cry of surprise, Huang Yueying covered her face and lowered her head, not daring to look at Liu Feng.

Fortunately, the carriage that Liu Feng was riding in this time was the kind of carriage with a closed carriage. If it was the kind of open-air carriage, maybe the little girl would have buried her head in her towering chest in shame.

"Be good, wait until this matter is completed. I will let you hold the baby for your husband." Liu Feng smiled in his heart, put his hand on Huang Yueying's waist, and then easily embraced her.

Immediately, Wen Xiangmanyu embraced her arms.

"En." At this moment, Huang Yueying was really obedient and couldn't be more obedient. She leaned her head on Liu Feng's chest and nodded slightly.

Hold the doll.

Huang Yueying couldn't help thinking of Cai Da's joyful voice every night.

The team didn't stop because of the couple hugging in the carriage, and soon arrived at Xiakou City.

However, they did not directly enter the city, but headed towards a small water village next to Xiakou.

This is a small water village specially built by Zhang Gu for the shipbuilder and shipbuilder.

With the expansion of Liu Feng's power, the number of shipbuilders has also increased from dozens of people at the beginning to more than 100 people.There are 2000 deputy and junior boatmen.Among the more than 100 shipwrights, as long as they are allocated to some assistants, low-level boatmen can independently manufacture a warship.

This can significantly reduce the shipbuilding cycle.To know a good ship, it takes at least several months from the start of construction to the completion.If there are fewer shipbuilders who can build ships independently.

I don't know what year and month it will be until a hundred warships are built.

Such an important place, of course, is guarded by the navy.But this was nothing to Liu Feng.

Kou Shui got off his horse and said a few words to the guards, and the team entered the water village under the respectful eyes of the guards.

After entering the water village, it was another scene.

There are several tents for shipwrights to live in.

On the water, there are still some warships coming in and out.The boatmen are busy with some repair work.

Because the internal structure hadn't been finished yet, Liu Feng didn't dare to order the external structure to be built first.But it doesn't mean that these shipwrights are so idle.

Gan Ning's navy trained very diligently, and collisions and accidents were inevitable.Therefore, the daily workload of shipwrights is still not small.

Looking outside, Liu Feng and Huang Yueying got out of the carriage.Of course, Huang Yueying's veil had already been taken back.

"Bring the boatman." Liu Feng said.

"No." Kou Shui responded, and then led people down to look for it himself.

Soon after, an old boatman was brought back by Kou Shui.The white-haired man was Guangye, the shipbuilder who had met Liu Feng for a while, and was the first to see Liu Feng's paddle steamer.

A skilled old man.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, old man, are you okay?" Liu Feng asked with a smile.

"Thank you, General, for your concern." The last time I came here, Liu Feng called Guangye an old man. Guangye was very impressed. Now Liu Feng called him an old man again, not too surprised.Just very respectful.After a pause, he smiled again: "For the general's blessing, the little old man eats well and sleeps well now."

This is definitely not a compliment. Liu Feng attaches great importance to shipbuilders and gives them the best treatment.Guangye has been very satisfied for several months.The only dissatisfaction was that they owed Liu Feng, and they couldn't figure out that ship.

"Hehe, that's good." Liu Feng chuckled, and then turned his head to wink at Kou Shui.

Kou Shui understood, and took out the internal parts of the paddle steamer made by Huang Yueying from the side, and handed it to Guangye.

"This, this is?" Seeing this part, Guangye also realized something, and said excitedly.

This is something they haven't figured out after months of pondering.

"This is the internal structure. Just follow the steps and make this structure well. Then the ship can be manufactured, and it can walk like flying." Liu Feng smiled and fiddled with the pedals. Sure enough, following Liu Feng's movements, the outer paddle wheel, It runs fast.

"Okay, okay." Guangye was very excited, staring at the parts in Liu Feng's hands.It's a shame to hold it in your arms.
