In a warehouse by the sea, hundreds of boatmen are working hard to build a ship model, and there are two at the same time, a treasure ship and a dhow.

Why do you need so many people to build a model ship?

Do you really think that their ship model is the kind of ship model that can be held in your hand and played, no, the ship model created by these craftsmen is 10 times smaller according to the size given by Jiang Hao, when it is completely a ship.

The treasure ship is more than 120 meters long, and the ship model built now is 12 meters long, and the triangular schoon is more than 60 meters long, and the ship model is more than six meters long, and the various parts are completely proportionally shrunk.

This model ship is built and is completely ready to be launched, and then it has to be tested at sea and analyzed in various ways.

These craftsmen are highly skilled and built very quickly, the skeleton comes out on the first day, the hull is finished two days later, and the prototype is basically made after three days, and as for the other parts of the ship, such as the most important cables, sails, etc., there is no shortage of craftsmen here, and they have been done a long time ago.

In just five days, with the efforts of hundreds of craftsmen, the two model ships were built.

On this day, the wind and waves were calm, the craftsmen pushed the model boat out of the dock and rushed into the sea along the tank, Jiang Hao, Lu Zhou, Cao Shen and more than a dozen master craftsmen boarded the ship for the first sea trial.

Jiang Hao didn't know much about the boat, but he was quietly watching the crew operate on the side, the sails were raised, the sails blown by the sea breeze were bulging, and the treasure ship began to sail slowly, and the other craftsmen were observing the various conditions of the ship and checking whether there were any problems.

Lu Zhou stood on the side of the boat and watched carefully, and after a while, he said to Jiang Hao: "Master Guoshi, in my experience, the design of these two boats is very perfect, very suitable for sea travel, the treasure boat is larger and more stable, and the tooth boat is faster, more suitable for splitting waves, and the sails are more sufficient. ”

Jiang Haoxin said that these sea ships are all classic ships of later generations, which have been tested by the sea, otherwise they would not be used.

The treasure ship followed the name of the Ming Dynasty, as for the triangular galleon, Jiang Hao named the tooth boat, why is it called the tooth boat, the Spanish galleon, referred to as the tooth boat.

"Is there a problem building it to its original size?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Although it is countless times more difficult to build according to the original size than the model, it is not impossible, but the treasure ship needs super-large wood to make the keel, in my estimation, our existing large materials are estimated to only build about 30 ships, and the new wood may have to wait for a year or two."

30 treasure ships, which is not less.

Just one treasure ship can pull more than 2,000 people, and the bottom warehouse can also hold countless materials, cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, etc.

"What about galleons?"

"The galleon is 30 zhang, which is much simpler than the treasure ship, and it is no problem to build 180 ships." Lu Zhou said confidently.

He is the director here, and he knows the situation here, Jiang Hao nodded, it seems that his future fleet will be this scale.

"Now there are more than 6,000 craftsmen here, full of strength, I will officially sail in the spring of next year, before that the ship must be ready, you are the shipbuilding supervisor, just focus on shipbuilding, Cao Hui will be on the side to assist you." Jiang Hao said.

Lu Zhou bowed, "I must live up to the trust of the national teacher." ”

The shipbuilding matters are almost arranged, and all that remains is to wait, Jiang Hao's mind thought of Goguryeo, and it was time to prepare.

"Cao Shen, move all the 20 building ships that have been built to the harbor, replenish the supplies on the ship, Ji Bu, and send 100 people to guard the safety of the ships in the port." Jiang Hao commanded.

"Yes!"

Cao Shen and Ji Buqi bowed together.

Here's the time, Jiang Hao took the car back to Haicheng, Haicheng is not big, there is only one street, it is a lower county, the population is only twenty or thirty thousand, Jiang Hao's people came, and immediately made Haicheng lively.

Jiang Hao returned home, and Lu Pheasant greeted him, it was summer at this time, and the weather was hot, Lu Pheasant untied Jiang Hao's clothes, "Lang Jun, the shipyard can be arranged." ”

"It's all arranged, oops, it's so hot, I'm going to take a shower, and the pheasant will come to wipe Lang Jun's back." After speaking, he pulled Lu Pheasant and walked to the bathroom.

Lu Pheasant naturally knew what Lang Jun thought, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, his face was a little shy, but he kept following Jiang Hao into the bathroom.

......

......

......

After bathing, Jiang Hao was refreshed, changed into a light and thin disguise, closed his eyes and lay down on the couch to rest, and Lu Pheasant took a fluttering fan to fan him.

Comfortable!

"Lang Jun, Uncle Xiao has a letter coming, the letter says that he personally found the Surabaya County Guard, the County Guard is very cooperative, and now he has ordered all the counties of Surabaya County to collect the boatmen, slave girls and orphans we want."

"At the same time, he also sent people to Dang County, Taishan County, Donghai County and other places, with the name of Lang Jun's national teacher, and those county guards will definitely cooperate."

"By the way, my father also sent a letter, saying that the kiln has been re-fired, and the craftsmen sent by His Majesty to learn to burn porcelain are studying on the side, and I think that there will be new porcelain production in half a month, and this batch of porcelain has been set by the imperial court, and it is ready to be sent to His Majesty the First Emperor to see."

Jiang Hao nodded, "Let them learn from each other, and when the new porcelain comes out, we will send a car here every time, the more beautiful the better, and we will bring it when we go to sea." ”

"Okay, Lang Jun."

"By the way, Su Su, what have you been busy with lately?" Jiang Hao asked with his eyes closed.

Lu Pheasant skimmed Jiang Hao, pouted slightly, and pretended to slash twice in mid-air with the fan in his hand, and then obediently fanned the man.

"My sister has been very busy lately, going out early and returning late all day, and I have selected a group of literate people from among the slaves I bought, about one hundred and thirty people, and rented a place in the city to teach them medical skills, by the way, that Doctor Hu has now become a teacher, and her first batch of students can now help her."

"Can you arrange a guard?"

"It's arranged."

"Tell Su Su Mo to be tired and just take it step by step." Jiang Hao said.

"Don't look at Su Su's weak and quiet appearance, in fact, that girl has been very reluctant since she was a child, I don't dare to provoke her too much, the last time Lang Jun said that she needed a doctor, she kept it in her heart, and wanted to share her worries for Lang Jun." Lu Pheasant said.

Jiang Hao sighed softly, reached out and took Lu Pheasant into his arms, gently stroked her back, and said, "It's my great luck to have your sisters here." ”

Lu Pheasant's heart was sweet, and he obediently lay in Jiang Hao's arms.

At this moment, Jiang Hao said: "In a few days, when the crew recruits a batch, I am ready to go to Goguryeo." ”

Lu Pheasant's body stiffened slightly, and he opened his mouth and bit Jiang Hao's chest violently, the bite was not heavy, but it was enough to make the man feel his anger.

"Just now I said that it is a great blessing to have our sisters, and I will pick up other women back in the next moment, Lang Jun is really very attentive." Lu Pheasant pouted and said.

"It was a reward from Your Majesty." Jiang Hao argued.

"But how did the pheasant hear that it was Lang Jun who asked His Majesty for a reward, Lang Jun said that he dreamed of a woman in his dream, claiming to be Princess Goguryeo Yushu, and said that the foreign woman was destined for you, isn't that so?"

Lu Pheasant looked at Jiang Hao with some resentment and asked.

Jiang Hao was stunned, what happened was indeed the case, but how did Lu Pheasant know.

"Who did you listen to?"

Lu Pheasant pursed his lips, "Cure the plague, draw immortal talismans and the moon falls in the sky, build a Taoist temple with golden light, go to Lishan and fly in the air, please Shenli one-handed rise to break the dragon stone, thousands of miles away from the dream of fateful people, Your Majesty is angry for the national teacher, if you keep hitting it with millions of soldiers, don't Lang Jun know that all kinds of legends about the national teacher are now flying all over the sky in Daqin." ”

"Slaves, it's hard to think about it." This tone has a sour taste.

"Am I that good?"

"It's amazing."

"I didn't even know that I had been rumored to be a true god by the people, hehe."

"The national teacher's mana is profound, flying to the sky, immortal blessings are eternal, and longevity is in harmony." Lu Pheasant said.

Jiang Hao glanced at this girl, no matter how she listened to it, she had a mocking tone, "If you don't open the house for three days, it seems that there is really less lesson." After speaking, he hugged Lu Pheasant to his lap with his backhand and jerked it against his buttocks.

......

The next day,

Jiang Hao sat in the room, squinting his eyes and thinking about things, and suddenly took the silk cloth next to him and wrote on it.

Lu Pheasant was curious, and he didn't know what Lang Jun was doing, but every time Lang Jun wrote something, something terrible would appear.

Mung beans, soybeans, tea, kimchi, dried fruits, persimmon leaf tea, lime, plenty of wine.

Names appeared on the silk cloth, and Lu Pheasant couldn't see why.

"Lang Jun, what are these?" Keen and studious, he was not ashamed to ask, and Lu Pheasant asked directly.

"We will sail at sea in the future, it may take a few months to go, the human body needs to supplement vitamins, if the lack of vitamins is terrible, there will be a disease called sepsis, the above things, is used to supplement vitamins."

"Mung beans and soybeans can sprout, tea soaked in water can also supplement vitamins, kimchi is easy to preserve, can also be eaten as a vegetable, fruits can be dried and can be preserved for a long time, as for persimmon leaf tea, it is to use persimmon leaves to make fermented tea, this thing has the ability to supplement vitamins, better than the previous ones, as long as each person drinks a cup of persimmon leaf tea every day, it is enough to supplement the vitamins needed for a day."

Although Lu Pheasant didn't understand what vitamins meant, she knew that since Lang Jun said it, it must be a very important thing.

"And what is this lime and a lot of wine for?" Lu Pheasant asked.

"Fresh water storage has a time, and it will stink after a long time, but if you add lime juice to the bucket, you can greatly extend the storage time of clean water.

"But sometimes there are extreme conditions at sea, if the fresh water spoils and we can't find new fresh water, we can quench our thirst with wine, and the wine will be stored for a long time." Jiang Hao is talking about low-alcohol wine here, which is the kind of wine that the people of Daqin often drink now.

This is also the reason why in ancient times those sailors at sea were all drunkards, one because of loneliness, and the other because of thirst.

Jiang Hao is now writing that these can be found in China.

handed the list in his hand to Lu Pheasant, "Pheasant, you can send someone to prepare these things, you have to prepare a lot of them." ”

"Pheasant understands."

Jiang Hao had already explained these things to Lu Pheasant, and Lu Pheasant immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare, and the next day, Jiang Hao took Lu Pheasant to get into a carriage and went to a beach on the outskirts of Haicheng under the escort of a team of soldiers.

Lifting the curtains, Jiang Hao pointed to a large tidal flat in front of him and said, "Here I have already asked for the Donghai County Keeper to come over and write the title deed, from now on, this ten miles of land is ours." ”

Lu Pheasant looked at the barren tidal flats and asked in surprise, "What does Lang Jun want to do here?" ”

"Hehe, salt."
