Taihu Lake.

On the top of Da Lei Mountain, under the shade of trees, in a newly built pavilion, Huang Yueying lay on her side, sleeping soundly. Although it was noon, the shade of the trees was dense and the breeze was blowing, but it was not very hot. Huang Yueying had some slight sweat on her body, but it didn't affect her nap at all.

Feng Wan sat on the edge of the couch, shaking the fan while looking into the distance. The sails on the lake are like weaving, large and small ships come and go, the sea boats from Jiaozhou unload here, and then load the materials of the Central Plains, rest for a period of time, take advantage of the northwest wind that gradually rises in autumn to return to Jiaozhou. Since June, merchant ships have continued to arrive, and the Taihu Lake has been bustling with activity, and even the fishermen have been stained with a lot of light.

A small boat, an iron kettle, the fresh fish caught immediately slaughtered, thrown into the water to boil, even if no ingredients are added, it can make people drool. If you catch a big fish, cut it into fish belly, dip it in sauce, and drink a sip of Taihu Lotus Baibai, then it doesn't feel too good.

Feng Wan swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat.

Huang Yueying opened her eyes and glanced at Feng Wan. "What do you think?"

Feng Wan blinked. "Guess."

"Husband."

"And!" Feng Wan took a sip, her face was red, and she slanted at Huang Yueying. "Your husband is so smooth, you miss him."

Huang Yueying turned over, spread her limbs, and lay on the couch in a large shape. "yes, I've missed him, it's almost a year, right? If you don't have a conscience, you won't come back to see it. Send Buzishan to help, and don't bring a message by the way. ”

"Husband is busy, you followed him through the army, knowing that once he fights, he doesn't even take off his clothes when he sleeps, and he has no time to think about anything else."

"Are we something else?" Huang Yueying's eyes widened.

Feng Wan smiled and said nothing, and there was a little more loneliness in his eyes. Although there is no worry about food and clothing, after all, there are no relatives, and it is inevitable that there is some homesickness. In addition to their parents, what they miss most is Sun Ce, but Sun Ce has not been heard from recently, as if he has disappeared. Although they knew that the big war was imminent, Sun Ce would be very busy, but they were still unhappy. She doesn't say anything like Huang Yueying, her mind is actually the same.

The sound of someone talking in the distance, Feng Wan woke up in shock, and hurriedly reminded Huang Yueying to clean up. At this time, there will not be too many people who will come here to disturb, except for Bu Qi, who assisted in the construction of sea ships, the most likely is Wu Jun Taishou Cai Mao. Huang Yueying straightened up, listened attentively, and lay down again. Listening to the hearty laughter with the texture of gold and copper coins, it should be Cai Mao.

In front of Cai Mao, she has always been comfortable and informal.

After a while, two figures appeared on the hillside. One of them is Cai Mao, and the other is Yu Fu. Feng Wan's eyes were sharp, and she hurriedly reminded Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying sat up, squinted her eyes and looked at it, until they got closer, she didn't recognize it as Yu Xuan. She rubbed her eyes and sighed.

"Alas, my eyes are useless, and I can't see more and more clearly."

"Let you read less books, you won't listen." Feng Wan reproached as he stood up. Huang Yueying also stood up, sat lazily on the edge of the couch, and yawned loudly. "Yu Changshi, why are you free? Come to collect debts from Cai Taishou again? ”

Yu glared at Huang Yueying. "Slaughtered to the day, the master rebuked it to the rotten wood. Don't you think it's rude for the master craftsman to not only sleep during the day, but also to sleep in this kind of place? Pampered and arrogant, especially the trouble, the master should keep it in mind. ”

Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and shook her legs carelessly. "Although the long history is not sleepy, his words are as sharp as a knife, and he can be the head of the ten philosophers of Confucius, no less than Zai Yu. As for me, I don't have such eloquence, and I have been exalted for a long time. ”

Yu was furious, and was about to say more, when Huang Yueying raised her hand, she let out a "huh" and suddenly raised her hand. "Changshi, you often say that the sage visualizes the instrument, what kind of image should you say this sea ship should observe, Mingyi or Wuyi?" Without waiting for Yu to speak, she raised her head, thoughtful, her eyes looked at Yu Pan, but her mind had obviously flown elsewhere. "Oh, I know, if the gentleman is not heavy, he is not mighty, and if the keel is not heavy, the ship will be capsized."

Yu was stunned, not understanding what Huang Yueying was talking about. Huang Yueying suddenly jumped up, jumped to her feet, and shouted loudly: "Step trainer, foot trainer, where are you going, hurry up and get a pen and paper." ”

"It's coming, it's coming." The foot trainer appeared in the woods not far away, holding a pen and paper in his hand, followed by two maids, one holding a desk, the other holding a pen and washing stationery, and hurried over. They ran to Huang Yueying's bed, first set up the case, and then put the stationery in the appropriate position, with tacit understanding, and set up the case in a blink of an eye. The step trainer opened the inkstone, took out the pen, and handed it to Huang Yueying upside down. Huang Yueying took it, dipped it in ink in the inkstone, took the pen and drew it on the paper.

Yu Fu was speechless, but he closed his mouth knowingly. He had just been discussing with Cai Mao how to transfer the rice transported from Jiaozhou, and he knew how important these sea ships were to Sun Ce. The development of sea ships has made progress, and news has been coming back from Jiaozhou and Youzhou, and they are full of praise for the newly made sea ships, but Huang Yueying does not seem to be satisfied, and she is full of thoughts about how to improve sea ships. It would obviously be unwise to disturb her at this time.

Feng Wan stood aside, tilting her neck to look, and after a while, she let out an enlightened "oh": "Is this to lengthen the keel?" ”

"Phew-" Huang Yueying raised a finger in front of her mouth. "Secrecy, this is not easy to secret." She looked at Yu again. "Yu Changshi, let me tell you something."

"You say." Yu turned the right way, and subconsciously arched his hand.

"Arrange a trustworthy shipyard to trial produce this ship, and before it is successful, it must not be publicized. When you succeed, keep it as secret as possible. ”

"Okay."

"Oh, I'm so tired." Huang Yueying put down the pen and paper and patted her forehead. "I've got to get some sleep. Do you have anything else, just leave if you're fine, don't affect my rotten wood day. ”

Yu couldn't laugh or cry. Cai Mao smiled silently. Feng Wan nudged Huang Yueying, gave the step trainers a look, and motioned for them to take care of Huang Yueying. She walked up to Yu and stretched out her hand to invite them aside. "The master is indeed a little tired in the past two days, if there is anything, you can tell me first,"

Yu glanced at Huang Yueying, who was hiding on the couch and squeezing her eyes at him and making a grimace, she was very helpless, so she had to say to Feng Wan: "The rice thresher developed by Mu Xuetang is very useful, Yuan Duwei is very grateful, but he said that these machines are okay to remove rice grains, and there may be some problems in removing wheat grains, I hope that Mu Xuetang can use this winter and next spring to improve it." In addition, the waterwheel is also very easy to use, the efficiency is very high, two people treading water should be ten people to carry water, but the axle is not strong enough, I hope to switch to iron parts......"

Yu said more than a dozen things in one breath, Feng Wan listened to them one by one, and wrote them down on the paper from time to time. Cai Mao watched it for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Yu Changshi, do you think this wood academy is opened for Tuntian Duwei?" I still have work here, and you can't take up all of the time in the Wood Academy. ”

Yu rolled his eyes and glared. "The people take food as the sky, what can be more important than Tuntian?"

"Transporting grain, of course." Cai Mao said with a smile: "There is not enough rice in Wujun, there is rice in Jiaozhou, the key depends on how you transport it." Master Feng, I have a hurry now, the sea ship carries a lot of cargo, but it is too tall, it is difficult to transport it down, and I accidentally fell into the water. Can you design a machine that can safely and easily unload the rice from the sea boat, and don't have to work so hard? ”

"Mu Xuetang has already trial-produced two pieces and is in the final commissioning." Feng Wan said without raising his head: "It can be installed in two days at most." You prepare the bonus, there are so many good things in Jiaozhou recently, and the craftsmen of the Wood School want to take advantage of the cheap price to stock up on New Year's goods. ”

"Great." Cai Mao was overjoyed and clapped her hands. "Money is not an issue."
