"Uncle, be happy, you should use thunderous means against corrupt officials. The father is benevolent, and he is too tolerant of these people. The students heard Liu Sanduo say that some commanders in Cizhou had less than half of the soldiers under their command, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, but they led the army in full every year. All this money has made them greedy for ink, and it is extremely hateful! ”

got on the horse, and Zhao Maid, who still had undried blood stains on his body, spoke. He didn't hesitate to kill this time, and he was very excited after the killing, and he had been muttering to Chen Niang for a long time as if he hadn't enjoyed it.

"The commander is just a low-end military general, with only four or five hundred people under his command, and there are a lot of commanders, all Yuhou, all supervisors, and so on, just go down and take a look, can't any of them count five hundred? You have to answer my uncle, why after so many years, only the official has discovered the bad habit of eating empty salaries, and none of the camps have been spared? ”

Zhao Maid's excitement is inevitable, and it is estimated that his father has also said that this country may be handed over to him to manage in the future. Killing a corrupt official is not for others, but for himself, and if he kills one more, there will be one less villain among his courtiers in the future.

But why he should be killed, and whether he can solve the problem of official ethics by killing, must be made clear to him. We also have to talk about what a corrupt official is and what a clean official is. It is a major event to pass through Hebei, and it is even more important to teach the prince, and none of them can be neglected.

"Then they are all corrupt officials, and they are in the same group as these people, they all deserve to die!" Zhao Maid was asked this question with a red face, Da Song is his, all he heard before was civil and martial arts, national peace and security, how could he follow his uncle and change everything as soon as he came out.

"Stupid people, who will help you manage the place, and who will help you lead the troops to fight?" There is no need for Hong Tao to answer this question, Chen Niang said it more bluntly.

“…… That, that's like a cool road with a new method! "I don't feel ashamed to be asked by my uncle, but it's not so good to be asked by Chenniang, and I have to find a solution if I want to break my head.

"It's even more stupid, the new law has to be enforced by new people, and the new law will become the old law just by these people. People and the law are inseparable, you and I are the newcomers to the new law, they are destined to be eliminated, but it is not yet time. Hurry up and grow up, train your body and skills, and don't use you but can't help you! ”

Seeing that Chen Niang was talking about Zhao Maid, in fact, part of it was self-encouragement. At present, what this little girl hates the most is why her age can't progress by leaps and bounds like learning knowledge, with this thing, even if she learns well and has strong ability, she can't get the approval of her adoptive father and clansmen.

Hong Tao only listened to a few words and urged Ma to leave the two children by himself, let them discuss it by themselves, some words are not easy to accept when they come out of their mouths, this is called the generation gap. There was such a saying in later generations, and it was still the same in ancient times.

Now I don't have much energy to teach, everything needs to be built when I first arrive, and it is unknown whether there will be trouble in the future, so I must force myself to work hard, and strive to lay a solid foundation in the fastest time, and then I can compete with any ups and downs.

What's next? I'm going to go to the riverside to oversee the shipyard. Wang Hao's maritime team arrived here at the end of April and found a factory site. The wooden platoons from Xizhou have also arrived one after another, and the shipyard will be built in two months, but how to build a new ship is not yet in everyone's mind.

I just want to give them a reassuring pill, let them see a better future, and then keep chasing the carrot in front of me like a donkey, and I can't pull it.

The new shipyard is in Nanle Town, five miles south of the city, which is close to the old road of the Yellow River and guards the Yongji Canal.

As for the problem of the continuous diversion of the Yellow River, Hongtao cannot solve it at present, but this problem must be solved, and if it cannot ensure the abundant water source of the Yongji Canal, it will greatly reduce the efficiency of shipping.

The Song people also made great efforts on this issue, such as building locks and using a section of water storage to ensure the normal navigation of some ships during the dry season. In fact, the Song people have done a very good job, and the lock is also an ancient black technology.

But in Hong Tao's view, it is still not enough, and if you want to completely solve the problem, you have to start with the Yellow River itself. This is a big project, and it can't be completed without tens of thousands of people and a few years, so we can only make do with it at present.

"Surname Wen again? Could it be the Tan family! "The shipyard master invited by Wang Hao is still a family, with three sons and a father. When their surnames were introduced, Hong Tao began to talk to himself again, and asked a very rude question.

"The villain's ancestral home is Lianjiang County, Fuzhou......" Old man Wen was more steady, or he didn't like this adult's question very much, so he didn't squeak. His eldest son replied instead, and his face was very unsightly.

"Hehehe...... It's not good, come on, take a look at the official's drawings first. "Asking a Song person in person if he is a member of the Gang family is similar to asking a Chinese if he is a Japanese in later life, and even more annoying.

Hong Tao used the thickness of his face to resist the eye attacks of the Wen family's father and son, and then took out a roll of Liangzhou specialty, bark paper, from his leather bag. This paper is made from bark pulp bleached with chlorine gas, and is manufactured in small batches for internal use only by the promotion society. Its advantages are white, hard, flat, and strong, which is not suitable for writing with a brush, but is very suitable for hard pen drawing.

"Adults drew ...... Very good, this kind of paper is very weird...... but the Wen family father and son are obviously not as interested in the drawings as the paper, and they actually turned it over in front of Hong Tao and pondered the back.

"I forgot that you don't need drawings for shipbuilding...... Come on, who is the best craftsman to make a model with this official...... It's a model ship! Seeing the appearance of the Wen family's father and son, Hong Tao was not angry but happy, and he fouled again.

The best craftsmanship among the Wen family father and son is not Father Wen, but his second son Wen Dahu. But after getting used to Peng Da's fine workmanship, Hong Tao felt that Wen Hu's carpenter craftsmanship was just like that.

If you had remembered that the Song boatsman was not accustomed to reading drawings, he should have asked Peng Da to make a model of a ship that was scaled down to equal proportions, ensuring that the mast would be engraved with his imprint, and there would be a lotus pattern on the bow of the ship, the kind that could not be seen clearly without a magnifying glass.

Will Hong Tao build inland waterway transport ships? It's going to be a fart. Don't think that if you can build a sea boat, you can build a river boat, these are two completely different ideas, and there is no distinction between high and low grades.

The model of the ship he and Wen Dahu is a schooner with a displacement of seventy or eighty tons, which belongs to the oceanic ship type, with high seaworthiness, fast speed, and easy operation, but it is basically useless to engage in transportation in inland rivers, the loading capacity is too small, and there is no wind that is waste.

It is impossible to sail in canals and inland rivers all the way through sails. The wind direction in the inland is uncertain and the wind force is too weak to meet the needs of ordinary sails, it only exists as an auxiliary power.

If you want to get enough wind power, you have to get full sails, but that kind of ship is too expensive to use as a transport ship, and it is not very cost-effective. Therefore, most of the time in inland river navigation, you have to rely on oars and bamboo poles to support the boat to obtain power, and the main source of power is the slender man.

Whether it is the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River, or the canal, there will be fiber roads on both sides, and there are laws that no one can occupy these special roads, and only the slender men are allowed to walk, just to ensure the passage of ships.

Hong Tao asked the Wen family to build such a fast schooner not for transportation, but to train his own shipwrights and sailors. He doesn't fully trust others in anything he does, and he must control what he can control.

Of course, this kind of small sailboat is also a show of strength, it can use its excellent performance to tell Wang Hao's group of maritime merchants, don't take yourself as dry food, we have dry goods in our stomachs, and let them have an expectation.

In addition, it is also a lesson for the craftsmen, if these shipbuilders are not subdued, it is difficult for them to change their original work habits, and they think that they are blind commands by laymen and cannot cooperate.

"This kind of ship will work?" See, before the model was finished, Old Man Wen began to mumble. There are many essential differences between the shipbuilding methods of this lord and their traditional craftsmanship, and they will naturally be repulsed.

"An adult's ship must have a knack...... Wang Hao didn't know much about shipbuilding, but he believed in the craftsmanship of the Wen family and the ability of the horse. Neither side can say wrong, nor can it say right, only with the mud.

"If you want to panic, this official never convinces people with reason, and prefers to put the facts first. If you can't make it, you can try it, the wages are out, and the wood can be used casually, which is feasible? ”

Hong Tao knew that they had to have this kind of reaction, and it was right to have a reaction, and it would be illogical if there was no reaction. There is a saying in later generations that is very correct, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and the ancients also passed it, it is the mule that the horse is drawn out to slip away.

"Yes, build one and try it!" Wang Hao raised his hands and feet in favor of this suggestion.

"It's just that my lord, this new ship is not large, how can it carry heavy cargo?" But he's not stupid, he can't build a ship, he can't look at it, and even if a small boat more than five feet long can build eight stories high, it can't fit much.

"Put the ship loaded with cargo first, build this ship and see the effect. If the official's method is available, then build the ship according to the official's method, and if the ship is not suitable, then it will be decided by Father Wen, how about it? ”

Hong Tao, an inland river boat used to load goods, also has a plan, but that kind of manufacturing method is even more fanciful, and no one will believe it if there is no certain amount of trust.

"Make! Third, you go pick wood. The boss and I go to the slide wood, Xiao Er, you accompany the adults to figure out the size of the blanking. Come on, come on, start work, start work! ”

To be honest, Old Man Wen didn't hate this young Shuai Si too much. He likes to point fingers, but his temper is very refreshing, and his achievements are not successful or not, and he has no intention of using official coercion to suppress people.

The common people are not afraid of the dictates of the officials, but of the blind commands of the officials. As long as the timber is at hand, it takes only thirty or forty years to build a five-zhang long boat, and it doesn't delay your own wages, so it doesn't matter if you give it a try.

Moreover, Old Man Wen also hid his heart and left his second son with Lord Shuaisi, saying that he wanted to study the size of wood, but in fact, he wanted to steal learning.

If you understand the size relationship, there is no secret about the model of this ship, in case it is really a good ship, the Wen family does not have another craft, this is the cunning of the working people.
