"Brother Wang doesn't have to be polite, Wujin Xing wants to build a waterwheel, I think it's just at the east water inlet. It is close to the water and easy to access, and once the mill starts in the future, it will be very noisy day and night, and it will disturb the rest if it is close. ”

Hong Tao and his party turned from the east bank, and the road had already roughly looked at the terrain, and the most suitable location for Wujin Bank to build a factory was the inlet of the Bianhe River in the northeast corner of the pond.

The water flow there is relatively fast, suitable for pushing the water wheel, and it is very close to the north water gate of Jinmingchi, and the honeycomb charcoal produced can enter the Bianhe River along the diversion canal between the Bianhe River and Jinmingchi after loading, and then enter the city, and the traffic is extremely convenient.

In addition, Hong Tao also showed goodwill to the crown in disguise, people are in charge, and they must get along day and night in the future, and there is no loss in having a good relationship.

"It's okay, it's okay...... I don't know what Ugin Hang produces, and it needs so much water mill? This is what the crown has always wanted to ask, in his opinion, a colt who has always been famous for his merry talents should not do those rough things, but what kind of delicate things will use water mills? Studied but cannot comprehend.

"I'm ashamed to say that Ugin is just jokingly called, but it is a carbonifer. In the future, this family member in my house will handle this matter here, and if you offend, I hope that Brother Guanshui will bear with me. Eight catties, I haven't seen Lord Du Yuhou yet, these days I have taken time to put a fire kang on the middle plate of the adult's room, and the building near the water will get the moon first, and I can't let Lord Wang endure the pain of winter. ”

This question is easy to answer, but it can't just be answered, Hong Tao took out the set of communication skills in later generations, let's have a meeting gift first. As the saying goes, if you don't hit the giver, if you accept my gift, even if you offend in the future, it's not good to turn your face right away.

"This is the head of Zhu Bajin Zhu who arrived at the Yanjin Bridge Corner? The crown family lives in the south of the earth bridge, and the most favorite thing is to arrive at the corner, and every ten days off must go to the tile to see for an hour. ”

Zhu Bajin heard the words and came over to salute the crown, but he was recognized before he opened his mouth. It's no wonder that his big bald head doesn't wear a hat in winter, and he advertises live!

"Hey! I said earlier, as long as Brother Wang likes it, he can see which tile in the city. If you don't dislike it, it's okay to go on stage and have done it. ”

Zhu Bajin was not a cultural person in the first place, and he was very polite if he could arch his hand and speak quietly. At this time, when he saw that the crown spoke so straightforwardly, he immediately stopped pretending to be a cultural person, first opened the way with a loud voice, and then slapped it with a big slap, as if he looked down on people when he was too small.

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't look at the little brother on the water can still support it, it's difficult to get on the stage for a round, or don't lose face."

The crown doesn't seem to be uncomfortable with Zhu Bajin's style, and it's quite good for you to talk to me. One is a famous sumo master in Bianliang City, and the other is a sumo enthusiast, and the topic is naturally inseparable from sumo.

"It's windy here, so please move to Aozhong to board the ship and talk slowly." Fortunately, the two of them had not forgotten about the colt, and the crown had found a good place to talk.

The boat in the dock is indeed much larger than the one on the lake, but it is definitely not as long as Pei Zhonggui said, 20 zhang long, 10 zhang up to the sky. The appearance is very similar to the painting boat in the Summer Palace, there are two wooden buildings on the deck, and the carved beams and paintings are indeed very beautiful.

But it's just beautiful, it has nothing to do with the warship, and what can be regarded as a weapon is the four-bed crossbow in the bow and stern of the ship, but unfortunately because the bow and stern have decorative dragon heads and dragon tails, the crossbow arrows can't shoot directly, and can only be fired at both sides.

So can the water tiger wings fight in the water? The answer is that it's hard to say. Because what is called water warfare is two completely different concepts in the minds of ancient and modern people.

The water warfare method of the Water Tiger Wing is more like that of the Marine Corps, the warship is nothing more than a landing craft, and it does not need to have much attack power, and the more people it loads, the better. Even when encountering enemy ships on the water, broadside combat is the main method, and shooting arrows and throwing stones at each other is just an embellishment.

If so, is it still necessary to train the trolls alone? Anyway, it's all melee combat, so it's not the same to send infantry up!

Anyway, it's not impossible, but what if the boatman is injured or something, and no one can sail the boat? There is also a lack of water in the north, and the ancient people did not have so much leisure to go to the swimming pool to exercise, so there are not many soldiers who really know how to water. Getting a group of landlubbers on board will also produce phenomena such as seasickness or unadaptability, which will greatly affect combat effectiveness.

But if a broadside battle really breaks out, and the soldiers of the two sides are close to each other, there is really no big difference between the navy and the army. The inland river is not like the sea, there are some waves, but it is far from the extent that people can't stand firm, at most, the navy can climb onto the boat and continue to fight if it falls into the water, and the army is basically fish feed when it falls in, and the loss is relatively large.

In addition, the navy will train some special tactics, such as diving to dig the bottom of the enemy's ship, swimming in the middle of the night and setting fire to the enemy's ship, etc., so that the army will definitely not be able to play.

But then again, it is really not too difficult to fight a war in the north with or without a naval army, especially in the face of the cavalry-dominated Liao and Western Xia armies, they will not give the Northern Song Dynasty naval army a chance to fight a water war at all, and most of the battlefields are not suitable for water warfare.

Don't look at Hong Tao's ability to establish a huge maritime empire in the Southern Song Dynasty, but his ability is basically useless in the inland river. Naval warfare and water warfare are also two completely different concepts, and there is basically nothing to learn from.

Even if a sail warship is built, it cannot be tossed and moved in the inland river, let alone directly smash the enemy's nest, and the efficiency is very low, at most it can be used as an auxiliary defense facility.

Then it is better not to build it, every battleship is piled up with money, and the training cost of every good sailor is also very high, and it is just an auxiliary means that it cannot be worth it at all. Therefore, Hong Tao did not mention half a word on the issue of how to train the navy, so as not to provoke right and wrong for himself.

"There's an iron mill here?" But standing on the roof of the ship, through the window of the dock, you can see a burst of black smoke rising from the west, which is obviously not the case of burning charcoal and firewood, and the only thing that can use a lot of charcoal is a kiln and a blacksmith's furnace.

"It was the shipyard of the imperial court, and it was equipped with small furnaces, woodwork, tung oil work, and equipment work. Here is a small field, there are less than 100 craftsmen in the military school, and there is a large field next to the Bianshui in the north, with more than 500 craftsmen of all sizes. Wang Guan pointed to the west, still discussing sumo wrestling techniques with Zhu Bajin.

"If you need it, can you buy it from the craftsmen in the field?" This is good news, Hong Tao immediately started to use the iron-making workshop here to quietly improve the smelting and forging technology, whether there is any hope to try it or not.

"Don't hide it from the captain, this small field is also under the command of the younger brother, and there is only work in the spring and summer, and it is usually nothing more than tinkering. As long as the cost is made up, even if there is a captain who can afford it, it is enough to reward the craftsmen with a corner of lamb wine. ”

Hearing that the colt had a request for him, the crown was even more pleased. In his opinion, whether it is a colt or Zhu Bajin, it is a good object to relieve boredom.

No one has come to this place all year round, except for the soldiers who are craftsmen, and it is very boring, but now that people have finally come, they have to stay here, and they must communicate with each other and have a good relationship.

"In this way, thank you Lord Yu Hou in advance, tomorrow I will let eight catties pull a cart of wine and meat, as long as there is Ugin Xing, it will not be short of everyone's food and drink!" Hong Tao likes this family more and more, and it is convenient for him to be convenient with others, since he is so good, he must be courteous.
