Since the founding of the Tang Empire, there have been a lot of forcible seizures. For example, when today's own father, when he first started the army, he used to search the whole city, especially those rich merchants and gentry, almost all the money was scraped clean and used to use military expenses, and then, naturally, he threw some empty checks to those unlucky ghosts.

After that, he ruled the world and found that there was not much money in the treasury, so how could today, who had just become His Majesty the Emperor, enjoy it? As a result, during the suppression of the rebellion, the family wealth of many mutineers naturally became the family wealth of the Son of Heaven.

Even if you didn't participate, but you are a rich man, well, it's you, you must have supported the abolition of the Son of Heaven, but this Son of Heaven is very merciful, if you don't kill you, as long as you hand over the money, it will prove your loyalty to me and the Tang Empire.

Duan Shaojun didn't listen to others about these many things, but dreamed of the abbot telling him personally, which made him deeply aware of the darkness of feudal social-imperialist society.

Li Xuan decided to change the subject, no, to continue the question of the Persian shipping. "Although there has never been a border between my Tang Dynasty and Persia, the road is Jing'an, there is no war in all countries, and the trade route is very smooth, why should they risk coming from the sea thousands of miles away? The sea is rough and turbulent, so you are not afraid of losing your life? ”

"Brother Xian, if you ask this, it can only show that you don't understand common sense." Duan Shaojun glared at this fool with a small face angrily, he couldn't imagine that this guy would ask such a stupid question after being mixed with him for so long.

#####

"Common sense?" Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned. "What can the little brother's question have to do with common sense, brother, don't you want to blame me?" Muma, brother, what do you mean, don't think that those two women are your women, you can humiliate me so wantonly, although I am not as smart as you, but this king has also had a lot of knowledgeable teachers, don't treat me as a three-year-old child, okay?

Isn't it common sense that even a three-year-old knows how to clip a crotch cloth instead of running around with a bare butt?

"You...... Alas, you kid, let's put it this way, let's take a boat to Yangzhou this time, right? Duan Shaojun asked helplessly.

Li Xuan touched his smooth chin, expired Zhengtai thought for a long time, and was sure that Duan Shaojun couldn't give himself a trick on this answer and said that he didn't understand common sense, so he nodded as a matter of course. "It's natural, and I think it's big, but it's not like sleeping in it."

"That's because you recognize the bed, didn't I teach you the solution to recognize the bed?" Duan Shaojun glared at the goods indignantly.

"Oh, that's right, this trick you taught me is really not bad, brother, but it's very difficult, no matter where I go to sleep, I have to bring a bed and bedding, alas, although I don't need to do it myself, brother, but it's also very hard for those guards."

"In that case, why don't you give people some extra wages? Anyway, I can get some three gold and one insurance or something......"

“…… That young brother, and Li Gongzi, I said, are you two crooked too crooked? Xu Xiangjun looked at these two unobtrusive guys with a black line on his face, and really wanted to pick up the teapot on the table and give it to one of the two guys' heads, how could he talk about it and actually pull it to 108,000 miles away?

"Ahem, ahem...... So what do we need to get into the actual topic, so what kind of virtuous brother don't want to interject indiscriminately, now, let me ask you, let's go to Yangzhou by boat, right? Duan Shaojun asked a little embarrassed after coughing dryly twice.

The three of them shook their eyes in unison and came over, dealing critical damage to Duan Shaojun. Duan Shaojun couldn't wait to slap himself, damn, it was Li Xuan's maid who harmed himself, and he was about to become a king.

"Of course it's a ship, well, I'm just hinting, what kind of virtuous brother, how many people do you think a ship needs to be controlled? Hey, what expressions are you all on, this sentence is definitely not nonsense, believe me, this sentence is purposeful. ”

"Okay, let me tell you, on the big ship we went to Yangzhou that day, there was one shipowner and six shipwrights, and they were traveling in shifts day and night, so you can be satisfied?" Xu Xiangjun glared at this hard-mouthed little villain with a smile, but still gave an answer.

"Very good, I got the answer, six people, plus the shipowner, even if it is seven people, but how many people and goods can this ship carry, I don't know if you know, Sister Xu?" Duan Shaojun nodded approvingly at Xu Xiangjun and threw out a new question.

"I really don't know much about this, but it shouldn't be a problem for such a big ship to carry thirty or fifty people, plus seven or eight ox carts." After thinking about it, Xu Xiangjun replied with some hesitation.

"Do you know, then, how many people can be carried on a sea ship, that is, a warship of about a thousand materials?" Duan Shaojun calmly glanced at everyone in front of him, and threw out a new question, just like an excellent teacher who is good at guiding students to think about problems.

Duan Shaojun has studied history, and he is also a fan of half history, plus he had a good chat with General Jinghai's son Zhao Hengmei before, so he also knew a lot about the warships of this era, and combined with the knowledge he gained from Baidu in his previous life, he knew a lot of things.

Ancient warships, very early on, the use of this unit to calculate the load of the ship, the Song Dynasty Shen Kuo once recorded, the weight of a piece of japonica rice for a stone, where the stone to ninety-two pounds and a half for the law. At that time, the load of the ship was also based on meters. One stone of rice is 92.5 Song Jin, which is converted to the market after the market, which is about 110 city catties, which is the load capacity of a material.

However, there is a difference in the carrying capacity of the material, for example, if it is a ship with 1,000 materials, according to the archaeological results and the data of professional papers, it is about 17 meters long, 6.5 meters wide, 6.5 meters high, and its displacement is about 250 tons.

If it is a ship with 1,000 materials, according to the data of archaeological results and professional papers, it is about 27 meters long, 8 meters wide, 8 meters high, and has a displacement of about 600 tons. In other words, the gap between civilian and official materials has doubled.

And Duan Shaojun once asked Zhao Hengmei, and learned that the large warships used at sea are generally the largest of 1,000 materials, and the 15,000 sailors commanded by his father have only five warships of 1,000 materials, and there are no more than ten warships of 700 materials, and other warships like 500 materials and 300 materials are the most, and of course there are many light boats.

&nb

sp; According to the calculation of the sea volume of two materials per person, a sea ship of 1,000 materials, that is, carrying nearly 500 people, if it sails far, then it has to deduct more materials for food and fresh water tank storage.

#####

If, just for a long journey, only enough sailors and a small number of defense personnel are needed, a thousand-gauge warship can only carry fifty people to support the long voyage. But alas, they have only reached the Silla Peninsula as far north as possible, and as far east as the Liuqiu Islands. To the south, we have reached Guangzhou.

I haven't been there even further, and most of them sail along the coast, but according to Zhao Hengmei's statement, a warship of a thousand materials, if it is fully loaded, can sail at sea for twenty days, and if you save your mouth and stomach like you want to sail for nearly a month, you want to sail for more days, well, wait for everyone to starve to death and become a ghost ship.

If you only carry basic seafarers and a small number of soldiers, as long as you have enough food, you will be able to stay at sea for three or five months, but in the event of a storm, you will be moldy for eight lifetimes. Regardless of whether it is fully loaded or lightly loaded, if you can't find a place to shelter from the wind in time, a thousand warships may be capsized and killed.

I saw the three people shaking their heads in unison. Duan Shaojun was very satisfied, and raised his five-fingered fingers very reservedly. "A thousand ships can carry 500 soldiers on the sea for 20 days. If you only carry 100 people, you can sail for four months. If the ship is sailing against the wind, the ship can sail between four and six knots every half hour. Well, that is, between fourteen and twenty-two miles, take a median value, that is, twelve hours can be more than 400 miles.

If it is a tailwind, it can generally be between seven and ten knots, that is, between twenty-six and forty miles, then it can be calculated for twelve hours and eight hundred miles. If it is half downwind and half against the wind. It only took ten days to sail from the Silla Peninsula in Liaodong all the way to Quanzhou. In less than half a month, you can sail to Guangzhou. ”
