Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 220
There is an opposition inside, which is actually a kind of political wisdom. Take the current Wang Hou Qingzhou team as an example. The biggest opposition is Jia Xu. The officials below are like Zhuge Lie, Wang Jie, and a lot of Taiyuan The Wang family, the Langya Wang family and the civil servants who came here are all based on seniority, with Jia Xu as the leader. Now that Jia Xu was deceived by Wang Hou to go to Xuzhou for inspection, it created an illusion for his subordinates. Jia Xu also began to support Wang Hou's sea farming plan .

So even though he was away for the past two months, the Qingzhou Group was in harmony with each other. With curiosity, wondering how miraculous this sea farming with an annual income of 50 shi was, Wang Hou issued an order, and the civil servants carried out an order. He didn't say a lot of farts, but it was rare for a leader like Wang Hou to do it with ease.

However, this comfortable day finally came to an end. In April, he went to the "province" for inspection, and at the end of June, Jia Xu came back from Xuzhou, and judging by his face, he should be ugly!

Today is also a special day, a new boat is launched!
In later generations of the West, in order to deal with the British, Napoleon the Great once built ships in the French town of Toulon. With 5000 people a year, he built more than 50 three-story main battleships of 1000 meters in length. Wang Hou’s carpentry must not be as good as before. The increasingly mature French engineers only built two [-]-meter-long high-sea fishing boats with only one and a half floors, one main mast and two auxiliary masts, and more than [-] boatmen in two months were more than enough.

Now Wang Hou's shipbuilding lock is also decent!A boat pond is more than [-] meters long, spreading from the beach to the inland, and a ditch leads directly to the sea. Whether it is inside the boat pond or in the diversion ditch, a thick layer of bricks and cement is used to prevent the Collapse and siltation, a five-meter-high earth embankment also protects the shipbuilding lock in a circular manner.

In the shipbuilding pond, the strong Taishan wood has been built into a scaffold like a building. Two newly built fishing boats stand on these scaffolds. The two boats are about eight meters high and more than eight meters wide. The first floor and the stern floor are used as places for the boatmen to rest and live, and the middle is empty. After launching, it is estimated that the height above the water should be less than half a meter. This is also the main work area. Steel suspensions for trawls are built on the left and right. And cast iron rope turntables for pulling nets.

As for the sails, the mainmast is about six meters high, with soft sails ranging from small to large hanging on four sides, and the foremast and mizzen are triangular long sails to control the direction.

What's more, compared with the offshore boats of Xuzhou Chen Deng, Wang Hou's Rizhao boats have blade-like bottoms, just like the backs of big fish.

The entire ship is painted with black oil. The biggest cost of shipbuilding is the thick tung oil black paint on the hull deck. This thing seems to be produced only in Liu Biao's territory in Jingzhou. To exchange the paint of these two ships, Wang Houzu It cost a thousand hoes, five hundred sickles and twenty pairs of curved steel plows, and it was not known how much paint would be needed for later maintenance.

The anticorrosion of Western sailboats seems to use natural asphalt mines, but according to the high school geography knowledge that Wang Hou has given back to the teacher, one of China's natural asphalt mines is in Longmen Mountain, Guangyuan, Sichuan, and the other is in Karamay, Western Region, which is today's Wusun, unless Wang Hou can fly, he might as well continue to use Jingchu tung oil honestly.

But at the moment, Wang Hou can’t care about the pain anymore. The launch of the new ship is still very important. More than 40 civil servants from Rizhao City came, and more than 60 influential old men from more than 80 elders in the city came. Wang Yuan and the other master craftsmen and leaders have all come here. It can be said that all the famous people are here.

And Jia Xu, who rushed to the scene as soon as he got off the boat, was obviously a little unhappy with his old face.

There is no Mazu in this year, and the worshiper is Feng Qing, Lord of the East China Sea. Facing the sea, he puts the god on the throne. The unlucky pigs, cattle and sheep are pushed aside, and the big knife cuts off with a clicking sound, and the heads of the three animals are cut off. When they got down, the bloody ones were placed on the altar, the one with the highest rank was the most respected, and with his two girls, Wang Hou first held three sticks of incense and worshiped three times, then inserted the incense into the incense burner, and immediately it was full of blood. With a guilty conscience, Wang Hou sadly brought three sticks of incense to Biejia Jiaxu himself.

She also knew that her husband had fooled him, and followed behind. Cao Hongjie's mature little face was full of guilt, and she followed with a sneer and nodded her head.

It’s not that Jia Xu went to the sea to investigate with the ship at sea for more than a month, and his old face was wrinkled by the sea breeze. Wang Hou was deceived for a while amidst Wang Hou’s trepidation. Jia Dushi from the big circle snorted angrily, but he didn't expose Wang Hou. After receiving the incense stick, he bowed respectfully three times and put it on.

Sima Yi, Zhuge Lie, Wang Jie, and the local clan elders also followed. Although they were surprised, they could leave after watching the excitement. There are not so many places on the boat, only Wang Hou. After Jia Xu worshiped, he followed The boarder boarded the boat again.

There are too many rules on sailing these days, women are not allowed to board the boat, even Cao Hongjie shrank on the shore and watched eagerly.

"Open the gate! Release the water!"

This was at the time when the tide was at its highest. Standing at the gate, the master craftsman Wang Yuan was shouting at the top of his voice. Following his growl, several strong men turned the cast iron winch of the gate together, rattling Amidst the groans of the iron chains, the heavy wooden gate was hoisted heavily, and the tide of sea water that was blocked outside also rushed in.

It’s hard to smooth Jia Xu’s stubborn donkey’s hair, but Wang Hou’s heart is still hanging. He is not an engineering student, and he has no experience in designing sailing ships. These two ships are all based on memory, according to future generations. It was built in the shape of an Englishman in the movie, and he had a little confidence in the keel, but he was not sure about the pine rubber stuffed in the seams of the boat, and he was really afraid that a big wave would come, and the bottom of the boat would leak with a crash.

But fortunately, the thing that worried him did not happen. The waves hit the bottom of the boat, and amidst the sound of crashing, the heavy fishing boat swayed and slowly floated up, causing Wang Hou to stagger violently. stabilized.

As the rising tide completely filled the shipbuilding, the two sharp-bottomed fishing boats finally completely broke away from the scaffolding at the bottom of the ship and floated completely.Excited and cheering, the fishermen's children recruited from the sea raised the complicated sails and lowered the big oars into the water at the same time. Amidst the clacking sound of oars, the two big boats were like mothers giving birth. He paddled out of the shipbuilding pond without any danger, crossed the gantry frame, and rushed into the sea.

Wang Hou had been contemplating for a long time, and as the sailboat swelled its light sails, it rushed out like an arrow and fell down completely, however!Just as he took a long breath, Jia Dushi's gloomy voice sounded like a ghost behind him again.

"Dong Weng, Jia can be a fool, but Dong Weng still has to think about how to explain to his subordinates about the sea farming. Everyone is full of enthusiasm for this law of the sea!"

"Once, if you don't handle it well, people's hearts will be gone!"

I really don't know how much resentment I have held back, the old man's dark words made Wang Hou get goosebumps all over his neck!
