111 What a big pit
"Brother Wang's words are wrong, Liangguang Road and Jianzhou Road enter the sea every year There are no less than 100 big ships and countless small boats, are they all blind people who don't know the way?"
The crown stepped into the pit with one foot, but before he knew it, he thought that the colt was standing and talking without a backache, and that a landlubber was not qualified to comment on the things of the sea.
"Yes, they don't know the way. The sea is so vast that you and I can't even imagine it, and the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Liao, the Western Xia, and the Tibetan Dynasty together are less than one-twelfth of it. Brother Wang, if these places were like the grassland desert in the north, the climate was changeable, and the path could not be marked, would these boats and these people still not be able to find the way? So the question is not the number of times you go to sea, but how to mark the path on the sea. Mark a little bit every time you go, and you can get something next time. Without it, just follow the path you did last time, right? "It's the second shovel, and the pit is a little deeper.
ββ¦β¦ Marking a path on the sea? No one has been able to do it since ancient times, and it is not to follow the islands, reefs and mountains. The crown was still so engrossed in mocking the horse's ignorance of the sea that he didn't notice that he was sinking down again.
"The ancients have never made a fire kang, never made honeycomb charcoal, and never transformed a dragon boat, but now aren't we all dry? The descendants must surpass the predecessors, otherwise they will live from generation to generation, and they will not be better than their predecessors, won't they live in vain? "Now that the pit is above the knee, whether the other party can still climb up depends on the reaction of this shovel after it goes down.
"Hahaha...... Brother Wang, doesn't he already have a good plan? Listen to the crown wishes. If it is really as easy to use as a fire kang, the crown is willing to resign and not worship Brother Wang as a teacher, but what if it is useless? β
The crown reacted very well, not only did he not realize that he had fallen into a waist-deep pit, but he also happily dug out of the pit, for fear that the pit would not be deep enough.
"I don't dare to let the imperial court lose an excellent Du Yuhou, it's better to do this, if it is combined, Brother Wang may as well partner with me to go to sea to sell goods, you and I each have half of the share, and the money will naturally be divided equally. If it is not suitable, half of the share of Ugin Bank will go to Brother Wang, how about it? β
Qi Qi, the pit has reached the top of the head, Hong Tao picked up the shovel and prepared to fill it in. Just digging a pit is only half the work, and burying people in it is all completed.
"No kidding, but seriously?" The crown picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it, but when he heard this condition, he immediately put it down again. Wu Jinxing has long wanted to buy shares, and he doesn't want to be half of it, and half of it can be happy.
Others may not know the benefits of this transaction, but he has been in contact with Zhu Bajin and others for so long, even if he is stupid, he can figure out what Ugin Xing is. Then lie on the kang and count with your fingers in a warm breath, whether you make money or not.
It's a pity that Zhu Bajin is also a person who listens to shouts and works, and the person who can really call the shots is a colt. The crown will definitely not do anything rashly and the horse to raise shares, because the identities of the two people are not equal.
Don't look at the horse is a waste in politics, but he has a high status and such a loud reputation in the circle of scholars, he is just a small military attachΓ©, and he can't play together at all.
"A manly man does what he says, can I still play tricks!"
Hong Tao has also learned a little bit of the habits of the ancients, he doesn't need any contract to talk about things, he counts what he says, and it's not too late to sign and draw a pledge afterwards. If you always put the pen on your lips, it is very disgusting.
ββ¦β¦ However, the younger brother and I can't be the master at home, but the younger brother's uncle is in charge......"
At the critical moment, the crown was cowardly again, and it was not that he did not dare to bet with Hong Tao, but that he couldn't take out the bet. No matter how much he thinks that this game is won, he must first make a bet before he can follow the rules, and he must not do anything without gambling.
"It's okay, as long as Brother Wang is willing to introduce my uncle to me, I guess his old man won't be ignorant, right?"
Hong Tao didn't expect the crown to be the head of the family at all, he was just a microphone with a safety bolt. With him in the middle, both sides can rest assured that if they find a random maritime merchant to partner with them, even if they are happy and they are not happy.
"This naturally makes! Brother Wang, please speak, and the younger brother listens. β
By this time, the crown had no worries, as if Ugin was beckoning to him. But he also thought about it, even if the colt really loses, he can't ask for other people's shares in vain, and he can redeem it with real money.
When the two of them were arguing with each other, Chen Niang was listening quietly beside them. She has a very good memory, she can remember most of the words, and she will only raise her questions when there are no outsiders.
I am naturally happy to get the answer, if the official does not give a lecture, I will not be angry, this is what makes Hong Tao the most popular, he is sensible at a young age, it is not easy!
"Far away, close at hand...... That's it! In order to keep the little girl from feeling bored, Hong Tao planned to let her be a participant, and picked up a small hand and pointed out the window of the boat.
"Brother Wang, don't play with me, what's outside the window?" The crown looked along Chen Niang's hand, but she didn't see anything, and her eyes let the bright sun flicker, so she was inevitably a little annoyed. It's a joke to talk about yourself for a long time, even if you're a royal prince, you can't do that.
"The Sun!" At this time, Chen Niang suddenly opened her mouth to speak, and covered her eyes with her hands to look up at the sun.
"Hey, hey, hey...... You are not as smart as my Chenniang, that's not hanging in the sky, how can there be nothing! β
Hong Tao happily touched Chen Niang's head and didn't let her stare at the sun anymore. This sentence was so apt to add, as if she had buried the person, and then she took the shovel and slapped it on the dirt bag a few times.
The "Sun......" crown still doesn't quite understand.
"The sun rises and sets every day on a fixed course, and if I could know where it is at any given moment, wouldn't it be like there is always an island on the sea? With the island reference, can't Brother Wang's family still find a path? β
Hong Tao didn't plan to tell Wang Guan about the principle of sun navigation with a sextant, and he couldn't understand it. If Shen Kuo was there, he could talk more about the principle, maybe that all-rounder would have to throw away the math book immediately and study astronomy with himself.
"Yes...... But how does Brother Wang know the position of the sun? What about the night? The crown winked at the sun, still not believing. And he found a big loophole, there will be no sun at night!
"Aren't there stars at night, watching the sun during the day and stargazing at night? But I'm not a star-pulling board or anything like that, I don't dare to say that it's exactly the same, it's always within fifty miles. β
Originally, Hong Tao also expected Chen Niang to answer again, so as to show how ignorant the other party was. It's a pity that the little girl is really not so godly, and she also blinks and waits for the answer.
"Fifty miles! Isn't that a god descending! "The crown is a child of the maritime merchant family, although he is only a sailor playing in the inner lake, but he still has a basic concept of the sea.
In the endless waves, if the position can be accurate to within fifty miles, it is equivalent to having an official road, as long as the direction is not wrong, you can go wherever you want.
