"You do things, I don't worry."

Mi Zhen took the time to put a piece of dim sum into her mouth, took another sip of tea, and suddenly frowned again: "Yihao, I suddenly feel that I don't like it now." Although we have become relatives, sitting face-to-face now seems to be a lot stranger. If it had been before, I would probably have been lying on your back and coquettish......"

Lu Ren scratched his scalp and said, "Yes, I also feel a little like this." Maybe it's because we all know that we are married for a good word, and of course there will be some rejection in our hearts......"

There were a few words that Lu Ren didn't say. I don't remember who said that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a concubine, a servant is not as good as a servant, a servant is not as good as a prostitute, a prostitute is better than stealing, and it is better to steal than not to steal. To put it simply, this is actually a matter of mentality, among the various relationships between men and women, perhaps the most intriguing thing is actually the situation where they are very ambiguous with each other, but they always dare not cross the thunder pool half a step by themselves, and Lu Ren originally had this mentality.

Shaking his head vigorously and throwing these things aside, when he came back to his senses, Mi Zhen had already leaned on his back and smiled: "No matter what, let's try to be as good as before." Isn't it good? ”

Lu Ren shuddered violently. When dealing with that matter a few days ago, Mi Zhenke gave Lu Ren a heavy taste. To say that Lu Ren is actually not a good bird, and it would be a lie to you to say that he is not interested in those S/M things. It's just that Mi Zhen went crazy, and it really made Lu Ren a little unbearable. But it's no wonder that among the few people around Lu Ren, Mi Zhen has the most things to do, and he spends the least time with Lu Ren, so he will desperately squeeze Lu Ren at every opportunity

After a little rectification of Lu Ren, Mi Zhen straightened up and said, "But there is one thing I don't understand, Yihao, can the boats you transferred to me really work?" ”

Lu Ren explained: "In the past, ships were pure wind sailboats, and ships relied entirely on wind power to sail. However, this time there were 31 ships in the fleet, all of which were paddlewheels and sails...... Don't tell me you haven't ridden the pakrothal. ”

This time, Lu Ren gathered all the more than 30 paddle wheels built in Yizhou before and after, and from the perspective of the way the paddle wheels were propulsed, the impact of the wind was not too great. Moreover, there are five new paddle wheels in the fleet, which are the result of the whimsy of some craftsmen under Lu Ren, that is, the main mast has been abolished and replaced by a large windmill, and the main power of the paddle wheel is provided by the windmill. Moreover, the fan blades of this large windmill can not only be disassembled, but also rotate 360 degrees to maximize wind propulsion from all angles.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, didn't Lu Ren throw a large number of old ships on hand to Zhao Yu to sell? So what is being mobilized now are all medium-term ships. As for steam-powered ships...... Most of them are warships, and it is not yet time for them to be used in regular merchant ships.

(PS: It may be a little unrealistic, but everyone will take it as possible.) ）

This time, in addition to taking a line with Liu Bei, the fleet can also be regarded as a large-scale sea trial. On each boat, Lu Ren is equipped with a corresponding data recorder, requiring them to completely collect the data during the voyage.

Some people may ask, it is certain that the paddle wheel will be replaced by a propeller structure, so why does Lu Ren still use the paddle wheel? In fact, although the speed of the propeller structure is significantly stronger than that of the paddle wheel, based on the technical level of Yizhou at that time, some of the main components of the propeller ship are easier to damage than the paddle wheel, and the maintenance is much more difficult than the paddle wheel. Considering these factors, Lu Ren and Shirley agreed that before the technical level could keep up, the paddlewheel structure was the most suitable structure for large merchant ships at the moment.

But it was said that Mi Zhen was lying on Lu Ren's back, a pair of jade arms hooked Lu Ren's neck, and his head was also pillowed on Lu Ren's shoulder, closing his eyes and gently shaking back and forth: "Well, it's still like this." Lying coquettish on your back, embarrassing you once in a while, I can feel that someone loves me in every way. ”

Lu Ren patted Mi Zhen's hand and said, "Don't shake it, don't shake it, I'll be dizzy if I shake it again." And you're sticking to me so tightly now, be careful to hook up my ****......"

Mi Zhen smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'm already married to you anyway." And I don't know how long it will take me to come back, so it doesn't matter if I do it again before I leave. Besides, when I come back, there will be one more beautiful woman by your side. ”

Lu Renxin said, don't worry about you, I don't care! Hurriedly coughed and barely stood up, almost carrying Mi Zhen to the veranda of the teahouse to watch the fleet and instructed Mi Zhen: "Don't forget, once you enter the Yangtze River, you must try to go to the north bank, go to Jiangxia first and then go to Chaisang." Also remember to listen to Liu Bei's tone and the recent situation of Liu Biao in Xiangyang.

"Especially if Liu Biao dies, there will be a big change in Jingxiang, and the two factions of Liu Qi and Liu Cong will definitely fight, which is also a good opportunity for our two clans to profit from it. To put it simply, although I am helping your eldest brother, Liu Bei's money is still collected, at most it is just a discount for him. But you must remember that if things are not right, run away quickly, and it doesn't matter if you don't want money. ”

Mi Zhen said: "I know this. Among the ministers under Liu Bei's account, only my eldest brother can buy a large number of military supplies from you, and if Liu Bei wants to quickly expand his strength, he must rely on my eldest brother to directly purchase a large number of military supplies. And he is just a middleman, if Liu Bei wants to lower the price or do something to you, he can't get past my eldest brother and deal with you directly. ”

Lu Ren said: "Okay, we know each other. I see that the fleet is almost ready, let's go to the dock, and I'll send you on board. ”

"Wait!"

"What's wrong again?"

Mi Zhen had a wicked smile on her face: "Carry me downstairs!" ”

"Huh!?"

Half an hour later, the fleet was ready, and Lu Ren sent Mi Zhen onto the ship. At the moment when he got on the boat, Lu Ren suddenly called Mi Zhen and said, "Xiaozhen, wait a minute." ”

Mi Zhen turned around and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't explained?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head, took two steps forward and reached out to pluck the hairpin on Mi Zhen's head. Losing the shackles of the hairpin, Mi Zhen's hair fell out, and Mi Zhen asked more and more puzzled: "What are you doing here?" ”

Lu Ren said: "If you are willing, this woman doesn't have to pull her head." ”

Mi Zhen paused for a moment, then looked back and smiled: "I understand...... Then I'm on board. ”

"Be careful all the way and come back early."

――――――――――――――――――――

The fleet had gradually disappeared from sight, Lu Ren put his hands behind his back, turned to look west, and said in his heart: "The time I made with Gan Ning is almost up, and I don't know if this guy Gan Ning can come back on time." Gan Ning had a lot to explain to him as soon as he came back, and he couldn't let him sail easily in a few years, so he had to ask him to engage in two naval battles with Sun Quan...... Sun Quan's navy was not formed so quickly, but the navy in my hand also needs a period of running-in and training. As for Ling Yuan, this kid has done a good job, and the Yizhou Navy is already quite decent, but if he really wants to go to the battlefield, Ling Yuan and the current naval officers still lack the murderous aura of Gan Ning. ”

Not long after walking slowly down the dock, Deng Ai, who had just returned from the Pearl Cliff, arrived quickly with several female soldiers.

"Master!"

"What's the matter with Shizai coming here? And these female soldiers......"

Deng Ai introduced a girl of her age to Lu Ren and said, "Master, this is Miss Yang Qingyang, a talent that the disciple found by chance. ”

Yang Qing timidly stepped forward and saluted Lu Ren and said, "Little girl Yang Qing, see Lu Yizhou." ”

"Miss Yang, get up."

Lu Ren looked at Yang Qing, she was a girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, her body was a little thin, and there was still a bit of bookishness between her eyebrows, obviously she was a well-informed lady, and she didn't understand how she could appear in Yizhou.

Deng Ai explained: "Miss Yang migrated from Jiaozhou. ”

Lu Ren nodded and asked, "There seems to be a Yang family surname near the address, but Miss Yang is a member of her clan?" ”

Yang Qingdao: "Exactly." It's just that although I have some land in my family, it is a side branch of the Yang family. It was only because his father accidentally offended the local magnates that he had to give up his land and take refuge with his family in the coastal land, and moved to Zhuya a few months ago. Because I heard that adults do not count men and women, and only need to be long, so the little woman dared to come and give it a try. ”

Lu Ren said: "I see that you are well-behaved, and you should be a scholarly ...... Doesn't Ling Zun object to you showing your head in front of people? ”

Yang Qing's expression darkened: "My father died of illness a month ago, and I only rely on one brother and one sister for my life. The pillar of the family has been lost, and my younger siblings still need to be raised, so I have to do the same. ”

"Oh, I see." Lu Ren turned to Deng Ai and asked, "Shizai, what position do you recommend her?" ”

Deng Ai said: "Medical teaching. ”

Lu Ren froze, and then hung Yang Qing up and down for a long time before asking: "I think Miss Yang is only ten years old, is she really capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility?" ”

Just kidding, this medical teaching is equivalent to a medical professor, and Lu Ren originally wanted to find someone who was seventy or eighty years old and experienced to be it. This is Lu Ren's current hand with Zhang Zhongjing, otherwise Lu Ren would even want to kidnap Hua Tuo.

Deng Ai continued: "Master, Miss Yang's father once studied under Yu Huatuo, and studied under Mr. Zhang for several years when he traveled, and after returning to his hometown, he was quite famous and can be called a famous doctor. Miss Yang has been employed by her father since she was a child, and she has done everything she can, so she is just the right person to teach medicine. ”

Lu Ren was still a little unconvinced, and Deng Ai pushed Yang Qing with his elbow. Yang Qing understood and recited the medical book in front of Lu Ren. But after reciting a few words, Lu Ren hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Stop, stop, it's not as simple as endorsing medicine......

Deng Ai said: "Master, when she was in Zhuya before, she often diagnosed and treated patients for everyone, which can be said to be a medicine to cure the disease, and the disciple also came to the door to seek talent when he heard Miss Yang's medical name by chance. Now bring it back to Yizhou ......" (To be continued.) )
