Chapter 66 Surprise

Waterfront villages and towns, ready to hang themselves The old man, was robbed of a miserable woman, lost hope, and fell into grief Villages and towns, with Zhao Kuo and others coming, a complete change, the bandits have been removed, and there is no need to worry about it.

"You guys!"

The old man beside him drank the wine, his face was ruddy, and he shook his arms, "We people have no other skills, we grew up on the waterfront, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft, those warships on the waterfront were built by our people, but unfortunately they fell into disrepair and finally became a pile of rotten wood!" ”

"If this is the case, the king hereby thanks you."

A person beside the old man said: "Even if you know how to build the process, you must also have drawings, and the warships are also differentiated, I don't know what the king wants to build a warship like and what is the purpose?" ”

Zhao Kuo stood up and took out the unfinished cloth scroll from his arms, the old man slowly opened it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "It's the first time I've seen this kind of strange warship in my life." ”

In order to increase the speed of the warship, there are sails on it, and the wings are prominent, like the wings of a bird, which can maximize the stability of the warship, and set up a dark grid under the warship, and two long things stretch out from each grid, which should be similar to the oars used in rowing.

The big ship was divided into two layers, except for the bottom of the ship, which was blank, "King, what does this mean?" ”

"I wonder how the gaps between the planks are connected to ensure that water can't enter?" Zhao Kuo finally said that he was worried in his heart, as long as the bottom of the boat could be solved, other things could be solved.

The old man said: "The king doesn't have to worry, you can use tung oil and lime and hemp silk twist joints, these are the methods left by the ancestors, and the bottom of the ship is nailed into a wooden wedge, even if it encounters strong winds and waves, it will not crack." ”

"Great, solve this problem, and this king is confident that he will build the most powerful warship in the world."

One person got up, "Although the scale of this ship is large, if it is attacked by the opponent's small boat, it will definitely not be able to deal with it quickly. ”

"The old man's words are reasonable, the purpose of building a big ship this time is to deter, and after the big ship is completed, other warships will be built."

"It's reassuring to have the king's words."

A figure approached, Xiuzhu deliberately chose a piece of clothing, dressed up carefully, compared the two of them before and after, and came to the front with a jar for wine, "Xiuzhu, thank the king for saving him, and respect the king." ”

Zhao Kuo hurriedly took it, "With a gesture, Miss Xiuzhu doesn't have to take it to heart." His eyes inadvertently fell on Xiuzhu's towering chest mountain and hurriedly avoided it, and his eyes came to the side, it was the man called Tie Dan, the love between the two Zhao Kuo saw it in his eyes, the world has long been downplayed, and there is no shortage of women around him.

"If you want to be grateful, it's better to thank this iron egg brother, who is unarmed and not afraid of the vicious bandits, and the affection is admirable."

Tie Dan stood up, his eyes showed gratitude, he was so praised by the king, and his status in the hearts of others in the future will inevitably be different, the most important thing is Xiuzhu, for Xiuzhu, he must make a big thing for everyone to see, and as a man, others can do the same.

"Iron Egg is willing."

"A good willingness, knowing that there is danger but still ignoring the slightest, so affectionate and righteous in the eyes of this king, if the two are interested, this king is willing to become a good thing."

The old man said: "The two of them have decided to marry since childhood, and they have passed the door. ”

Xiuzhu slowly lowered her head when she heard this, and her face was happy, and she heard clearly what the king said, this was an intentional matchmaking, it seems that she is really a gentleman with the heart of a villain, who is Zhao Kuo, the king of the high, what kind of woman do you want, how can you take a fancy to a rural village girl.

"It's better to be happy. How about making this happen today? ”

"What a great gift, what a glory it is to have the king to witness, Xiuzhu and Tie Dan have not come to thank the king."

Tie Dan stepped forward quickly, his face could not hide his joy, Xiuzhu stood aside, took a look, someone behind him pushed, his figure stepped forward, and when he saw everyone's expectant eyes, he had to kneel down and say: "Thank you, King Tianen!" ”

"A match made in heaven for talented women and beautiful women!"

Everyone raised their glasses, with the king as a matchmaker, plus the previous family affair, drank a bowl of wine and the marriage was completed, Xiuzhu was shy, and knew what it meant in her heart, and the two figures rushed to the backyard in the midst of everyone's commotion.

Not far from the village there was a high mountain with a large number of trees, and the materials for the construction of the ships were fully equipped, and the only thing missing was lime and hemp rope for caulking.

"Lime?"

The old man smiled: "It is to burn the white shell of the hydraulic power into ashes, and then mix it with water, this kind of thing is very strong after drying." ”

"Where to find the white shell?"

"Every time the water rises and falls, it is scattered at the water's edge, and when it is picked up, the meat is removed, and the remaining shells are dried and ready to use."

"Seafood!"

"Seafood? What is the king referring to? ”

Zhao Kuo waved his hand, "It's just a casual remark." ”

"Seafood, the umami that comes from the water, is so appropriate, and it will be called seafood in the future."

"Don't worry, the old man, when the king returns, he will send someone to come, first, to protect the safety of the village and town, and second, to collect white shells, if there are other difficulties, just raise it."

"No, no, everyone in the village is a water family, and those who repair boats and make water are experts, as long as the king can trust it, this matter will be handed over to us."

"Trustworthy, without further ado, this king will immediately return to prepare for the relevant matters."

Everyone hurriedly got up to see each other, Zhao Kuo led a group of elites to leave the village and town and return not to mention it for the time being, just talking about the iron egg, and let everyone who came to make fun of it, and quickly entered, Xiuzhu sat there, just made a fuss, the red on his face was deeper and more beautiful, and the iron egg stood there and looked stupid.

Xiuzhu looked at it in her eyes, "Why are you standing there stupidly, you can't come over?" ”

Tie Dan smirked: "I don't know which lifetime of cultivation can be blessed to marry such a beautiful person." ”

"Pretty?" Xiuzhu asked deliberately, trying to ask which woman doesn't want to be praised.

Tie Dan nodded, "In Tie Dan's heart, Xiuzhu is the best-looking woman in the world." ”

"To tell a lie, that's if you live in a village or town, once he goes to a big place, he will definitely see a better-looking woman, and then he will know that Yiqiē is not what you say at all."

"No, no, Iron Egg dares to swear to God."

"Stupid, who made you swear, but there is one thing that must be kept in mind."

"What's the matter?"

Xiuzhu said: "What is the purpose of the king building a warship here?" ”

"War, of course."

Xiuzhu nodded, "It's useless to just build, he will inevitably need someone who knows how to control the warship one day, this is a great opportunity." ”

Tie Dan nodded, "Tie Dan thinks the same thing in his heart, he won't lose to anyone in terms of ability, Xiuzhu can rest assured, he will definitely be able to make a career one day." ”

"Let's rest."

"It's still early."

"Then just wait."

Xiuzhu turned around, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the clothes on her body slowly slipped off, and Tie Dan's whole body was hot, and she didn't care so much, and the whole person pounced directly.

The sound of horses' hooves was bursting, Zhao Kuo and his party rushed back overnight, and the problem that had been troubled was solved, Zhao Kuo's brows stretched and urged the war horse again and again, just wanting to return to Hancheng as soon as possible to arrange the construction of the warship.

Bai Ying urged the horse to follow, "King, after running for a day and a night, it is better to rest for a while, and it is not too late to enter the city after dawn." ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "It's okay, don't break the rules because of a momentary rush." ”

In order to strengthen the deployment of the city defense, except for the border pass emergency report, it is not allowed to enter the city after dark, vaguely see the city wall of Hancheng, the sky is not bright, everyone dismounts and chooses a clean place to rest.

"It must be the heavens' favor for the king, and the warship is solved!"

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "There are many skilled craftsmen among the Koreans, but unfortunately they can't be used by this king, and most of them are still jealous of the destruction of Han that day, although with the help of these people, building warships can not be done in a day or two, and it is unknown how long it will take to effectively deter. ”

"It's the first time I've heard that the king doesn't have faith in one thing."

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Not everything can be controlled by yourself, especially on the water, the changes are far beyond what people can imagine, forget not to think so much, as long as you plan carefully and stick to it, you will definitely succeed." ”

Everyone rested, fluttering, a sound came out, Bai Ying's figure jumped up, and his waist was often pulled out, Zhao Kuo's eyes opened, but a few birds came back from looking for food, and made a look, Bai Ying's long sword was withdrawn, seeing that the sky was bright, everyone got up one after another, took out dry food from their baggage, and waited for the city gate to open and enter the city immediately.
