I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 893
In the end, Yang Suwen gave the solution to get some sacs, or something with a strong floating ability.

Pack the gold into some strong baskets and tie the airbags at one end and the basket at the other end.

When the water returns to this side, these airbags can easily float with the gold.

People on the water can take the gold away with a little traction, and the difference between transporting it by boat is actually not that big.

Yue Feng was not familiar with such things as airbags, thinking that such things should be rare.

But Chen Hong and Zhu Zhanji said with a smile,

"That's when you work with water a lot, so it's not very clear.

In fact, many people who often go into the water have several airbags in their homes. You must know that if you don’t go out to sea or fish on the river, no one can guarantee that you will not encounter wind and waves.

But in case of wind and waves, if the boat is overturned, an airbag can save the lives of several people. "

Yue Feng saw that everyone except himself seemed to know the existence of this thing.

said embarrassingly,

"You all talk about this airbag, what the hell is that!"

It is estimated that Chen Hong has witnessed the production process of this thing and experienced it himself.

So he explained to Yue Feng,
"Actually, things that make airbags are very common. You should have seen slaughtering pigs or slaughtering sheep, horses and cattle.

Their blown foam is actually the best material for making airbags. "

"After blowing up the bubbles, tie the air outlet tightly, then dry them in a cool place, and finally put several dried bubbles into a large bag made of sheepskin.

After meticulous stitching by skilled craftsmen, a thick layer of grease is applied to the stitched seam, and after repeated several times, the airbag is finished. "

Yang Suwen kept nodding at the side, then added,

"Don't underestimate this kind of ugly thing.

An air sac the size of a sheep, when placed in water, is enough to float two or three adults.

Therefore, only one such air bag is needed to carry hundreds of catties of gold away from the bottom of the water.

We only need to collect thirty or fifty of these airbags, and the gold that cannot fit on the ship can be easily taken away. "

After Yue Feng listened to their explanation, he felt as if he was suddenly opened up to a new world, which was very novel.

Whatever you say, you have to experience it in the future.

In fact, the ancients made airbags and traveled across the oceans, as early as thousands of years ago, or even tens of thousands of years ago.

Many people speculate that the uncivilized aborigines found on certain islands in Southeast Asia are actually of the same origin as the Gaoshan people.

Judging from their local settlement time, their migration activities actually happened thousands of years ago.

You must know that thousands of years ago, iron and bronze ware had not been smelted. Without tools, they could not make large ships.

No matter how good sailors they are, they are unlikely to cross the ocean with rafts or canoes.

And archaeologists discovered when investigating this situation.

Although they did not master the method of smelting until the early twentieth century, they still had good sailing experience.

And they can sail such a long distance, relying on the skin raft made of dozens of air bags and wood.

Before rubber was invented, this kind of airbag made of animal bladders was an important survival tool for people who lived on water for a long time.

If you think that the ancients did not have a life buoy, you are very wrong.

The reason why the ancients were able to survive tenaciously in a situation that was countless times more difficult than the modern ones is that their survival skills were much stronger than what later generations imagined.

It's just that many things have been gradually forgotten in the course of historical evolution.

Only then did later people slowly feel that the ancients must not be as smart as the moderns.

As everyone knows, if there is no bit by bit of accumulation of ancestors, how can human beings come to civilization for more than a hundred years.

Back to the topic.

The problem of moving gold has been solved, and the basic issues they need to discuss are almost the same.

Then, just when the few people were about to leave and went to prepare their own tasks, someone suddenly reported that it was Wang Cheng who had come.

Everyone was very puzzled at the time,

"At this critical period, it's too late for him to hide from us. How could he suddenly come over on his own initiative?"

Yang Suwen thought for a while and said,

"If he hadn't made any important discoveries, it's unlikely that he would have come all the way and come here at such a late hour.

Let him in! "

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the messenger quickly brought Wang Cheng over.

At this time, Wang Cheng obviously came jogging all the way, and he was still out of breath, so he hurriedly said to everyone,
"That big water thief, Hunjianglong, can't be beaten. He... he is Ma Dazhong's man, not only him, but several water villages that have a close relationship with Hunjianglong are more or less related to Ma Dazhong!"

Hearing this news suddenly, everyone was taken aback.

Zhu Zhanji even jumped up and asked him loudly,
"What you said is true, Hun Jianglong really belongs to Ma Dazhong!"

Wang Cheng didn't know what he was busy with all day, and the news he found in the morning was delivered in the evening.

But in fact, he can't blame him. During the day, Zhu Zhanji and Yang Suwen were not there. Even if he came, he couldn't find anyone.

And in the afternoon, he made another trip to Jiming Temple and Ma Dazhong's residence to help him arrange various matters for going to Jiming Temple to pay homage to Buddha tomorrow, which is why he delayed until now.

Before coming, he heard the news that the crown prince returned with a big victory today.

I don't know if they will continue to dispatch tomorrow, so I ran over desperately to remind them to pay attention to this chaotic dragon.

After getting Wang Cheng's confident answer.

Everyone's complexion became extremely different.

They thought that if they could give up all of Ma Dazhong's property this time, Ma Dazhong, who had no money and no garrison position, would be abandoned by his subordinates.

At that time, one of the leaders who are actually in charge of Nanjing City will be overthrown in one fell swoop.

But they didn't expect that this Ma Dazhong was so cunning, and he was still raising such a huge force in private.

Now it seems that the servants he raised in various mansions and the masters he hired are not even one-tenth of his real strength.

Even without the money of the manor and many subordinates in Nanjing.

But as long as Hunjianglong and the others are still there, he, Ma Dazhong, still has the ability to flip cards.

You know, Hunjianglong can be said to be the most powerful water bandit on the river now.
