"Donghai County Shou Yan Huang has seen the national teacher!"

"We will meet the national teacher."

After Jiang Hao got out of the car, the Donghai County Guard came over with a group of officials to greet Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao nodded and smiled: "You don't have to be formal, this place is hundreds of miles away from the county governance of Tancheng, and everyone has worked hard to come here to greet you." ”

The county guard sneered, "It's not hard, it's not hard, this is what I should wait, the county guard has to go to Tancheng to recuperate for a few days before going to Haicheng, and I'll entertain you one or two." ”

Jiang Hao shook his head, "It's only more than a hundred miles away from Haicheng here, and it's a long way to go to Tancheng, so it's better to go directly to Haicheng, and make plans in advance, so as not to miss Your Majesty's arrangement." ”

"We will listen to the arrangement of the national teacher." Hearing that Jiang Hao had moved out of the First Emperor, the county guard immediately bowed down and responded.

The team set off again and finally arrived at Haicheng two days later, which was about the location of Lianyungang in later generations and an important port of the Qin Dynasty.

In fact, the Qin Dynasty is not as backward as later generations imagined, shipping has begun, the Maritime Silk Road is also opened up in this era, Langya, Haicheng, Guangzhou and other places have seaports, when Xu Fu went to sea from Langya.

The Maritime Silk Road was formed in the Qin and Han dynasties, developed in the Sui Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and changed in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Of course, the sea route of the Qin Dynasty basically followed the coastline, and people were still full of awe of the sea.

When the team came to Haicheng, the county magistrate here had already prepared a courtyard for Jiang Hao and the others to live in, and as for the guards, craftsmen, and slaves, they lived in an open space outside the city, of course, these were temporary, and tomorrow Jiang Hao would take the guards and craftsmen to the seaside shipyard, where they were stationed.

Before resting in the evening, Jiang Hao said to Lu Pheasant and Su Su: "I'll take someone to the shipyard tomorrow to have a look, you can stay in Haizhou, I think it will take a few days to come back." ”

"Pheasant, let's live here for a while, build a manor outside the city, not luxurious but practical, and in the future, if we buy slaves and orphans, you will also be responsible for managing them." Jiang Hao said.

"Pheasant understands, I will do well."

"What about me, Brother Jiang?" Su Su asked with wide eyes, looking very expectant.

"You, the task is also very heavy, we are still too short of doctors now, a team of tens of thousands of people, when it comes to the sea in the future, there will be no less than a hundred big ships, how can we also equip each ship with a doctor, our doctors are still too few, you will find a way to get more doctors in the future, whether you train them yourself, or they are abducted from other places, in short, the more people, the better." Jiang Hao said.

Su Su listened to Jiang Hao's words and nodded solemnly, "Su Su will work hard to do a good job." ”

Jiang Hao stretched his waist and yawned, "Oh, it's night, let's sleep." ”

When Lu Su heard this, his ears immediately turned red, and he jumped out and left, leaving a sentence, "Sister, I'm going to sleep." Then he vanished.

Jiang Hao smiled, the little girl was still too shy.

Turning his head to see Lu Pheasant, he found that Lu Pheasant rolled his eyes at him, and said in a faint voice: "Lang Jun, Pheasant is afraid that my sister will sleep alone and be timid, so I will accompany her tonight." ”

Lu Pheasant said and went out as well.

"Hey~~~"

Why are they all gone?

Isn't this to let yourself stay alone in the empty room, lonely and cold.

Following.

Jiang Hao took 2,000 guards and 5,000 craftsmen to travel another thirty miles, and finally came to the seaside, looked at it from a distance, and found that there was a huge shipyard by a wide bay, which covered an extremely wide area, and there were many houses on both sides, and countless huge timbers were piled up in the open space, and in some open spaces, there were countless workers laying keels to build large ships.

This is the largest shipyard in Daqin.

Walking into the shipyard, Jiang Hao looked left and right, and Yan Huang, the warden of Donghai County, followed beside him, "Master Guoshi, most of the craftsmen of this shipyard come to Lu, Yue, Chu and other places, and the shipbuilding skills in these three places were also the best. ”

"After Your Majesty swept **, the domestic war stopped, the warships were useless, and the work here was temporarily suspended, a few months ago I received His Majesty's order, and the lower officials immediately rushed here with people non-stop, and gathered the original craftsmen again, but the time was urgent, and only more than 1,200 people were gathered, and three months have passed, and now only 20 big ships have been built, which is still a big gap from the 100 required by the national teacher."

After Yan Huang finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Hao with a little apprehension, if this national teacher sued himself in front of His Majesty, then he would probably end up with his head moving.

Jiang Hao was not angry in his heart, it was already extremely rare to be able to build 20 big ships in three months.

And Jiang Hao is not very satisfied with the current ship, the boat of more than 30 meters is the highest technology product of this era, but Jiang Hao wants to build a bigger and better ship, on the way Jiang Hao has drawn several pictures, he is ready to build a new big ship.

"Show me the ships that have been built." Jiang Hao said.

Yan Huang immediately said to the subordinates beside him, "Go, call the craftsman Lu Zhou, and accompany the adults to inspect the new ship." ”

After a while, he brought a forty-year-old man, this life is dark, with a Chinese face, thick hands and feet, and a burly figure, almost as tall as Jiang Hao, this person looked at the county guard and Jiang Hao, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Lu Zhou has seen the national teacher and the county guard." ”

This Lu Zhou is the person in charge of the shipyard, and he also has a shipbuilding skill, which is said to be passed down from the Lu country Lu Ban lineage, and is the best shipbuilder.

"Excuse me, take me to see the finished ship." Jiang Hao said.

"Yes!"

A group of people came to the seaside, here is a small bay, the bay is not big, but it is a natural sheltered harbor, just used to moor ships, Jiang Hao saw a row of big boats floating in the bay, the wood on the hull is glowing with new color, and at a glance he knows that he has not experienced any wind and rain.

Everyone boarded a boat, and Jiang Hao patted the thick boat gang, "Tell me about these boats." ”

Lu Zhou immediately gave up his hand, "Returning to the national division, these ships are fourteen zhang long, four zhang wide, single masted, ten zhang high, cloth sails, can sail downwind and side wind, six to ten oars on both sides, and a stern oar and rudder, the bow of the ship has a large cable system stone anchor, three layers on the deck, two layers below, and two layers below each layer are divided into five to seven cabins, and a ship can carry a total of one hundred and fifty people. ”

Jiang Hao calculated in his heart that one zhang of the Qin Dynasty was 2.25 meters, and 14 zhang was nine meters wide, and this data was similar to the archaeological records of later generations.

Even 1,700 years later, when Christopher Columbus discovered the New World and recorded the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, the flagship ship "Santa Maria" was only 23.66 meters long, 7.84 meters wide, and had a displacement of 120 tons.

The structure may be different, but now these ships want to pass through the Sea of Japan, the South China Sea, and other waters, so it should not be a big problem.

Therefore, it is very likely that Xu Fu can go to Japan.

Of course, Jiang Hao will not be satisfied with such a ship, and he wants to build a larger, stronger, and more suitable ship for sea navigation.

Technology?

Jiang Hao has it himself, and he can draw perfect drawings, and I believe that it is difficult for these ingenious craftsmen.

Worker?

Although there are only more than 1,000 people here, Jiang Hao also brought more than 5,000 craftsmen of all kinds, don't underestimate a craftsman, they often don't only master a lot of skills, many of them know several crafts, no way, in order to live better.

The treasure ship of Zheng He, which crossed the ocean in later generations, is 124 meters long and more than 40 meters wide, which is comparable to the current destroyer, and a ship can pull more than 2,000 people and countless materials.

European spinnales, stronger and more suitable for resisting the impact of waves, faster, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, East and West, Jiang Hao has no view of the door, everything that can be used is easy to use, will be honestly and unceremoniously used.

"How many more are recreated?" Jiang Hao continued to ask.

"At the same time, 10 ships will be started, and it is estimated that it will be completed in January." Lu Zhou replied.

"How's the wood?"

Lu Zhou looked at Jiang Hao with some surprise, and still answered honestly, "Returning to China, the timber in our shipyard is well prepared, and we have been preparing timber in the past few years, but now it has been dried, and it is just used for shipbuilding, and there are timber for building three or five hundred ships." ”

Jiang Hao nodded and said: "After these ten ships are built, don't build this kind of ship anymore, I have new ships for you to build, you prepare a group of the best shipbuilders, where I will be in a while, I have something to order." ”

The national teacher had something to order, but Lu Zhou did not dare to slack off, and immediately bowed down to answer the order.

Jiang Hao looked at Cao Shen who was following him again, and said, "Cao Shen, from today on, you will be responsible for the specific affairs of the shipyard, and you will be able to place the five thousand craftsmen as soon as possible." ”

Cao Shen immediately bowed down, "My subordinates understand." ”

Jiang Hao finally turned his head to look at Yan Huang, the county guard of the East China Sea, and his face became much warmer, "Yan County guard, I am very satisfied with the matter here for you, but there are still a few things to order." ”

Yan Huang immediately bowed down, "National teacher, please say, I will definitely do my best." ”

Yan Huang has received the will of the First Emperor, Donghai County must fully meet all the requirements of the national teacher, the supply of money and food is indispensable, His Majesty is obsessed with seeking immortals, Jiang Guoshi is a true immortal, and now no one in the entire Great Qin does not know that His Majesty favors the national teacher, so as soon as Jiang Hao came to Donghai County, Yan Huang ran out hundreds of miles to greet him, for fear of annoying Jiang Hao with his slackness.

Now that Jiang Hao has a request, how dare he not continue, he has already thought about it, no matter how difficult the request is, he will agree to it first, and then he will find a way afterwards.

"The shipyard is guaranteed to have enough money and food."

"Your Majesty has given orders, and we will do our best to meet them!"

"If you have a ship, you need seamen who know how to handle it."

"Ah, the lower official understands, and when he goes back, he will help the national teacher gather the seamen."

"I have asked the servants to buy female slaves in the surrounding counties and collect orphans, and Yan Junshou will also ask for help."

"It must ~~~!"

"By the sea, carve out a ten-mile land for me, and I will be useful."

"No problem at all."

Jiang Hao's requests were not difficult, Yan Huang naturally agreed, he waited for a while, and when he saw that Jiang Hao stopped talking, he asked timidly: "Master Guoshi, is that all?" ”

Jiang Hao looked at Yan Huang, "Do you still want me to make any requests?" ”

Yan Huang was taken aback, and immediately said, "Ah, no, no." ”

Jiang Hao smiled, "Okay, that's all for the time being, if there is a request, I will look for you at any time, you still have official business, I won't keep you, I'm afraid I will stay in Haicheng for a year, and go to sea next year, and ask Yan Junshou to take care of it during this time." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the national teacher has requirements, Yan will definitely do his best." Yan Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yan Huang took his own people to say goodbye and left, Cao Shen was organizing the five thousand people to build their own house, the whole cabin suddenly became in full swing, Jiang Hao came to the house prepared for himself, and at this moment Lu Zhou had already summoned more than a dozen shipbuilders to come over.

"I've got a few pictures of the ship here, and you'll see if you can make them." Jiang Hao said, taking out a few scrolls from his sleeve.

More than a dozen shipbuilders spread out the drawings, and after someone saw them, they immediately exclaimed, "This is, a new ship drawing?" ”

"This, this is too big, this ship is 50 zhang long and 18 zhang wide."

"Look at this one, the captain is 30 feet, and there are three masts, and these sails have never been seen before."

"It's a bit complicated, with so many masts and cables, it should be very troublesome to handle." Someone said.

This man was looking at the drawings of Western sailing ships, worthy of being a good shipbuilder, and he could see at a glance the biggest problem with these ships.

There are many advantages of multi-masted sailing ships, fast speed, adaptation to new strength at sea, and when there are disadvantages, that is, it is troublesome to handle, and sometimes it is easy to roll up the sails in the face of strong winds and waves, so there are many scenes in the movie where the crew climbs the mast and unravels the cable soft sail in the windy waves.

At this time, Lu Zhou asked: "Master National Teacher, I have never seen these boats, could it be that they were designed by Lord National Teacher." ”

Jiang Hao nodded, "Yes, I designed these new ships, now you study whether they can be made, it is best to build a few models to test, if it is feasible, build them accordingly." ”

These masters were shocked in their hearts, the national teacher is really a god, and he can design such a huge ship.

"I'll start experimenting later." Lu Zhou said.

Waiting for these people to leave, Jiang Hao came out with the escort again, and walked to the harbor where the sea ships were moored before, the 20 big ships that had been built were parked there, the waves were beating, and the hull of the ship shook slightly, Jiang Hao looked at the sea in the distance again, and thought in his heart, the other side of the sea is Goguryeo, not too far, it is time to go to Goguryeo to see.

Yushu is still waiting for herself.

It's just that now the world has become unrecognizable, and I don't know what the scene will be like when I see Yushu again.
