"Why don't the officials make the oars two feet longer, wouldn't it be more labor-saving?"

The carpenter master of the shipyard is an old man in his sixties, and he can't do much work anymore, but as a master, his vision is still very poisonous, and he has found the key to this kind of oar, the fulcrum!

If you follow Hong Tao's design, the fulcrum is relatively close to the paddle handle, about a third of the position, and it will be more laborious to row, because this is a typical laborious lever.

"Labor-saving is labor-saving, but it takes the oarsman's arms long enough to be successful...... Boss Zhou, how about lending your Zhou family class to officials another day? ”

There is no need to discuss this problem, and there are advantages to laborious leverage. According to the principle of lever balance, effort is definitely not enough to save distance, and it is very useful in daily life. For example, chopsticks, and then for example, oars. Make a labor-saving lever, and the man will have to run and row in the boat.

"The big officials have tormented the little old man, if the useful place is instructed, how to talk about borrowing words, don't talk about money, just ask the big officials to teach one or two skills, it is enough for my Zhou family to enjoy inexhaustible."

Old man Zhou is old enough and has a lot of experience, and he is not like Peng Da and others who were frightened in the palace, and he and Zhu Bajin are the same kind of people.

"Oh? Do you also know that I have goods in my stomach? "It's a good feeling to be regarded as a powerful person by others, Hong Tao has enjoyed it for several lifetimes, but he hasn't enjoyed it enough, and it's more enjoyable than how much money he gives.

"That's natural, the water wheel villain made by the big officials saw it, and he didn't talk about the craftsmanship or anything, Peng Da didn't insult the name of his ancestors. But the key is still in the mastery of the big officials, and those wheels with teeth are extremely exquisite. There is also the fire kang in the house of the Lord Yu Hou, who does not hide it from the big officials, and the villain also privately asks the apprentice to make one, which is not hot when it is hot, and there is smoke choking, and it is impossible to live in the house. ”

It is said that people are old and treacherous, and this old man Zhou is cunning and cunning Hong Tao hasn't seen it yet, but his face is thick enough. There was no shame in stealing other people's crafts from his mouth, this was going to be a blatant robbery.

"Your Zhou family is a shipbuilder, so it's useless to learn that. As an official, I will build a ship, and draw a picture another day to participate in the research together. But for now, let's focus on the affairs of your family's Lord Wang, whether these brothers can raise their eyebrows depends on your family's craftsmanship! ”

Hong Tao hasn't thought much about shipbuilding for the time being, mainly because he hasn't done much research on inland river vessels. If Old Man Zhou is willing to ponder with him, it is unwanted.

"That's right! What Lord Du Lieutenant said is that whether my Water Tiger Wing can regain its strength in front of the official family depends on this dragon boat race. You go back and get to work quickly, and we'll talk about that later. Lord Duwei's Ugin line is here, and your Zhou family class is a good student, and it is indispensable to benefit. ”

The crown is not interested in hearing about any boat, he is not a craftsman, he has no need for craftsmanship, how to win the competition is a real need. Originally, he didn't have this thought, but it made Hong Tao a little hot again.

The work is done by the craftsmen, Hong Tao naturally will not stand in the cold wind to supervise the work, he is not happy with the crown. Simply, let's go to the big o's building boat to drink and chat.

This building boat has just been decorated a few days ago, just waiting for the Shangyuan Festival to go out and show its face, and then the emperor will personally board this boat to watch the game on the lake. Drinking and having fun in the emperor's car, this honor is definitely not available to others, but the crown can be had, which means that the county official is not as good as the current management.

"Can the big ship go home?" As soon as she got on the boat, Chen Niang was interested, no longer let Hong Tao lead, ran around on the deck alone, and went into the ship building to take a look, thinking that it was very good, tall and big, and should be able to cross the sea in the mouth of the official.

"Silly girl, this is a boat sightseeing in rivers and lakes, not to mention the sea, it can't even go to the big river." Hong Tao patted Chen Niang's head, asked her to sit beside her, and drank the wine glass with the crown. On this cold day, it is indeed comfortable to drink two glasses of hot wine.

"The little lady is a Hu person?" The crown has seen Chen Niang, and every time she comes, she is held by a colt, and she looks very loving. As for what the relationship is with the concubine, I can't figure it out, it seems that it is definitely not a daughter, and it is definitely not a Song person.

"She was raised by me from the Salesian Bureau, and her home is on the side of the big cannibal, so it's not easy to go back." Chen Niang's identity is not a secret, it is better to know it, so as not to chew your tongue behind your back.

"Great cannibal! That's far enough, and it takes more than two months to get on the boat from Quanzhou. Every year in October, the wind comes to the sea, and in April of the following year, it returns when the wind comes. Life and death are unpredictable this time, and the big officials must not be moved lightly. The crown obviously understood where the hometown of the big cannibal was, and he was afraid that the horse would really take the little girl to sea as soon as his brain was hot, and he persuaded him.

"Brother Wang has gone to the sea?" This was the first time Hong Tao had heard Wang Guan talk about navigation.

"My brother has been to the South Seas many times, and after hardships, he didn't return as scheduled last year, and I don't think he can come back. The younger brother is a Jianzhou clan, and all the clans except for the old father make a living by selling big cannibal seafood. The brother of the Hou family was dissatisfied with the high price of cannibal goods, so he built a ship and went to sea, which was a life-and-death business, so why bother. ”

Each family has a difficult scripture to read, and the crown looks very arrogant on the surface, and his work can be mixed up, and he doesn't have any worries all day long, but in fact he is not so happy.

My brother died at sea and couldn't even find his bones, but in order to survive, the family knew that he was dead and still had to fill in people's lives, but he could only watch and couldn't help.

"Brother Wang, do you know how to walk on the northern steppe desert?" This incident made Hong Tao a little surprised, he is familiar with sailing, but I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to set sail again.

However, with the help of the Wang Guan family, maybe more Song people will be less afraid of the sea. As long as there is a generation that no longer fears it, the cost of making a profit from the sea will become lower and lower.

"The younger brother's subordinates have guards at the border gates, and I heard them say that there is no way to go in the north, and the wind and snow are everywhere, and the sky and the earth are the same color, and they can't distinguish between the north and the south, and many people and horses are freezing and starving."

The crown didn't quite understand why the colt was talking about the sea and turning to the desert again, but he still followed the topic, anyway, it was to pass the time by chatting, and what to talk about was not to talk.

"But how come the Khitan and the party people won't die in the grassland desert?" Where is Hong Tao chatting, he is digging a pit again.

“…… They naturally know their own path...... "The crown thinks this question is too retarded.

"Yes...... The sea has a road like the steppe desert, but we don't recognize it yet. If you want to know the road, you have to walk more, otherwise even if someone draws the road, you will not be able to recognize it. "This is the first shovel, dig a small pit to try the other party's reaction.
