Tang Gong died of hunger strike in Jimo, died fiercely, and died of "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die"; Lin Jian returned to Chongzhou from Jiangning, and was silent for several days, and never entered the East Ya, and he didn't even look at the affairs of the North Ya. The imperial court sent an envoy to Chongzhou to reward the seal, and Lin Jian came down the mountain without any words except for a "thank you for the emperor's grace", and after receiving the decree, he went up the mountain alone......

Lin Mengde, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Cao Ziang, Qin Chengzu, Wu Qi, Hu Zhiyong and others couldn't see through the impact of Tang Haoxin's death on Lin Tie for a while, and even wanted to send someone to Shengsi to invite Fu Qinghe back, after all, among all the people in Chongzhou, the most influential person on Lin Tie was not others, it was Fu Qinghe.

"Is the turtle egg envoy gone, and if he doesn't leave, he will be rewarded with two punches!" Zhou Pu walked in with a metal sash in his hand, the scales and armor on his body were sonorous, and when he saw Lin Mengde, Cao Ziang, Qin Zizu and others sitting in the hall, he pulled a chair and sat down, threw the sash on the table, and said, "What kind of eggs do you?" The old fox died a happy death, leaving all the problems here. The adult can't come down on the mountain, because he hasn't thought through some things in his heart, what should we do, give him some time and become a ......"

"How far do you think adults will think through it in the end?" Qin Chengzu asked, he knew that Zhou Pu seemed to be reckless, and Da Ma Guan Dao was a heroic general, not a minister, but he actually had a delicate mind, and besides, he had been by Lin Lian's side for the longest time, so he could guess Lin Lian's mind better than them.

"How did I guess?" Zhou Pu spread his hands and said, "If I can guess, I will sit here with you every day, and I don't have to go out to lead the troops in the wind and rain......

"It's easier for you than you to us," Cao Ziang said angrily, "Then replace you, and I'll help you lead the riding camp." ”

Wu Qi said worriedly: "The Zhejiang soldiers are also secretly transferred from Jinhai, and the right people have also picked out a hundred people, do you want to arrange it immediately, and the adults must also give a letter, you can't drag it out, the time will pass in a moment......"

In addition to Lin Mengde and Hu Zhiyong, who were still a little hesitant, at this time, Cao Ziang, Qin Chengzu, Wu Qi, Zhou Pu and others in the hall, including Sun Jingxuan and Sun Jing's cousins, had no loyalty to this court. Even if the time is far from ripe at this time, if Lin Jian wants to rebel, they will not hesitate to stop dissuading and follow it.

Cao Ziang, Qin Chengzu, Wu Qi, Zhou Pu and others have persevered in their ten-year careers, but are they afraid that they will not succeed in pirates for another ten years? This sentence was held in Wu Qi's chest, and he almost shouted it out in public, but Lin Jian didn't move, and they could only hold this breath.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps and the sound of the armor walking and colliding in the corridor outside, Qin Chengzu raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was Xue Zhoupu, a general with troops, who came to inquire about the news without authorization, thinking that he didn't dare to come in, so he took a head to train first, but he didn't expect Zhao Hu to come down the mountain.

Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde and the others stood up together, knowing that Zhao Hu must have news when he came down the mountain at this time, stared at him and asked, "What do you ...... order?"

"The lord said that he would keep filial piety for Tang Gong for three months, and he would not see any guests within three months, ignore official business, and all the official letters handed to Chongzhou were accepted and ......sealed by Li County," Zhao Hu said truthfully.

"......" Lin Mengde pondered and considered Lin Bin's intentions, Qin Cheng's ancestor clapped his hands and praised, and said a dirty word: "Okay, don't care if the outside of the damn world is turned upside down, I will keep it, and it will not be too late to see you in three months, I am still worried that the adults will not be able to figure it out," and thought to Zhao Hu, "Before you came over, who went to see the adults?" ”

Zhao Hu felt embarrassed for Lin Lian, but the people in this hall who could know the secrets, although it was a private matter between men and women, could not deliberately hide it from them, touched his nose, and said: "My lord has been sitting in the Nanlu Lushe for a long time, and the Song family has been talking for about half an hour...... Now I want you to go up the mountain and talk about things. ”

Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang and the others looked at each other and smiled, this kind of concealment is just a matter of knowing, and they don't talk about anything, to talk about it, Xun Niang and Liu Yue'er, Xianshu is extremely virtuous, but in this kind of thing, there is no way to help Lin Lian.

Qin Chengzu discussed with Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde and others for a while, and then decided to let Li Shuyi officially announce Lin Bin's filial piety in the form of an official notice, and Hailing Mansion, the County Department and the Governor's Mansion all sent official letters, no matter what their reaction was, the imperial court was also extremely proud of Tang Haoxin's death, and it could not stop Lin Tie from keeping filial piety for Tang Haoxin. This matter will be decided first, and the rest will be decided after going up the mountain in advance.

Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, and Lin Meng rushed up the mountain to discuss matters, but they didn't catch Lin Lian himself, and Sun Wenwan, who was on duty on the mountain, said that Lin Lian took his wife Gu Junxun to Xisha Island a step ago, and asked everyone to go to Xisha Island to discuss matters.

Lin Mengde asked suspiciously: "Obviously he wants us to come up the mountain, but he went to the island first, what is the matter on the island today, and you want him to hurry over?" ”

The affairs of Xisha Island are mainly in charge of Hu Zhiyong and Sun Jingxuan, and Hu Zhiyong can't figure it out and looks at Sun Jingxuan.

Sun Jingxuan also said suspiciously: "There is nothing special on the boat yard, maybe it is to see the baking kiln ......."

Unless it is used once or twice temporarily, shipbuilding pays the most attention to material preparation, especially for seagoing ships, and material preparation is even more sloppy.

Generally speaking, the wood used in shipbuilding needs to be soaked in the pond for several decades and then picked up and dried, depending on the climate of each place, the shade drying time is half a year to two years, after repeated brushing with old oil, take the shipbuilding to ensure that it is not deformed and rotten for a long time after launching.

If the wood is not treated with these steps, the wooden ship will be soaked in seawater for more than ten days, the board will be deformed and seeped into a leaky ship, and the structural strength will also be fatally damaged, and it will be worse than a major collision.

The old oil coated with the wood is flammable, and the old oil coated with the wood of the warship made by the Jinghai Camp is additionally mixed with a kind of alum to increase the flame retardancy.

Jin'an also has a boat yard for a long time, but before building more small boats and fishing boats, there is no shortage of short materials, and there is no big material. The existing materials, no matter how large the investment of the luxury family, can only build a large number of small and medium-sized sea ships in a short period of time, and the quality is not as good as the ships built in Longjiang Shipyard, let alone build large sea ships immediately.

The general material, with the rainy and humid climate of Jin'an, will take at least two years to process before it can be used, and the luxury family lacks the patience to build a big ship.

Lin Tie is in the Chongzhou shipyard, and he has been preparing materials since half a year ago, but in strict accordance with the traditional process, these woods will not be used for a year and a half. The various materials used in the repair of the ship were bought by many other shipyards, and some key materials were smuggled out from the Longjiang shipyard by the officials of the Longjiang shipyard.

In this way, after all, it is not large-scale, relying on buying and stealing large materials to build Jinhai-class warships, it is okay to build one or two, and ten or eight ships can be built, and the officials of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry will not be aware of it, and the forces that are not right with Lin will also remind the officials of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry.

Chongzhou wants to build a large sea ship in a short period of time, and Lin Jian can only try to build a drying kiln on Xisha Island to artificially accelerate the wood drying process.

This is easier said than done, and many of the craftsmen in the world are passed down by virtue of hundreds of years of experience, and it is something that many people dare not think of to artificially build cellars that are easy to dry wood.

What kind of hot air should be maintained in the kiln, not just the heat, but also add water, maintain a little humidity, the wood is also a bad thing, how to stack the wood in the cellar, how to maintain the kiln fire for a long time, how to ventilate the kiln, there is no ready-made experience to follow, we have to slowly explore, some old craftsmen even resist this practice of destroying the tradition.

The wood prepared in the early days of the Guanyintan Shipyard was taken to test the kiln, only a small part of it was qualified, a large amount of wood was wasted, and the kiln room was changed and changed in the past six months, Sun Jingxuan, who was in charge of this matter, felt distressed, and there was some progress at all, otherwise he couldn't help but jump out against Lin Tie so messing around.

Hearing Sun Jingxuan say that it was possible for Lin Tie to go to see the baking kiln, Qin Chengzu bowed slightly, and said: "It is possible, the imperial court and the Liang family thought that if they occupied Shandong, they would occupy the most critical part of the Jinhai grain road, and separate Jinhai and Chongzhou on the two wings; Thinking that there was a Dengzhou water camp in charge, they suppressed Denglai and the maritime merchants did not dare to follow us to turn against us and threaten the imperial court...... There are really no one in a hundred people in temples and palaces who can recognize Heishui Yang. ”

The more Cao Ziang and Lin Mengde think about it, the more likely it is.

At present, the Jinhai grain road, the most important is the southeast grain out of the Huai River estuary, and then through the Jiaolai River in Qingzhou through the Shandong Peninsula, and then sent to Jinhai and other places by Denglai maritime merchants.

Although the Denglai maritime group is close to the Dongyang lineage, almost all of them are active in the Bohai Bay, and the Dengzhou Shuiying is located at the northeast end of the Shandong Peninsula, blocking the Denglai maritime forces in the Bohai Bay, as long as the Liang family can control the situation on the Shandong Peninsula, on the surface, the general trend of the Dongyang family alone controlling the entire Jinhai grain road seems to be dissolved.

In fact, this is not the case, leaving the Huaikou and taking the Jiaolai River on the Shandong Peninsula is a suitable plan for Lin Tie to plan the Jinhai Grain Road.

Affected by the complex terrain in Qingzhou, the transportation capacity of the Jiaolai River is very limited, Tang Haoxin sat in Shandong, organized 20,000 troops, and advanced by land and water, so as to barely ensure the transportation capacity of 250,000 stone per month.

I don't know how difficult it is and how high the cost is to maintain such a capacity in Shandong, I can't understand how Tang Haoxin did his best for the imperial court, and I won't understand Tang Haoxin's fierceness in begging for death.

Lin Lian's real plan for the Jinhai Grain Road was to go to sea from the Jiangkou and take the Heishui Ocean Channel to directly transport the grain to Jinhai, and Shandong County was just a supplement to the Jinhai Grain Road.

When the Liang family masters Shandong, even if they do not hesitate to invest to barely maintain the transportation capacity of the Jiaolai River, it will be too easy for Chongzhou to do tricks in Huaikou. The sinking of a ship every other day can scrap the Huaikou, which is seriously silted, and force all the grain to go to sea from the mouth of the river. At that time, whether Cao Liang went to Shandong, or went directly to Heishuiyang, how could it be the turn of the Liang family to decide?

In the early stage of Lin Tie, he encouraged large households in Chongzhou to raise funds to build sea ships, and the most fundamental intention was here.

Denglai maritime merchants, threatened by the Dengzhou water camp, may not choose to stand on Lin Lian's side at a critical moment, but if the maritime business group in Chongzhou develops, they will have no choice.

However, the key is to fundamentally control the control of the Jinhai grain road in the hands of Chongzhou, and Chongzhou must ensure that it has a transportation capacity of 3 million stones a year.

Based on the average of six round-trips a year for a ship, 100 large grain ships of the Jinhai class are enough, not counting the spare ships.

Lin Shouxiao didn't see the guests for three months, ignored official business, and didn't read the official letter, but he didn't do anything. On the contrary, it is necessary to use the precious time of these three months to lay a more solid foundation in Chongzhou.

Three months later, the new Chongcheng integrating the mountain city, the water city, and the land body will be roughly completed, the new Hecheng will also be completed, the Shengsi defense line will also be completed, and the dredging of the Yanhe River will also be largely completed.

also knew whether Lin Jian suddenly went to the island at this time to see the baking kiln, Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde and others had no choice but to take the stone path to Nanya Wharf to take a boat to Guanyin Beach to see him.
