Chapter 733: An Island in the Sea (Two All, One More)

The so-called after coming back is because Tang Yi wants to send Qi Xuefeng and Song Kai, he wants to send them to the east of Dongying and watch them sail to the Pacific Ocean. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because, the Han people didn't realize what this voyage meant, and even Qi Xuefeng and Song Kai, including Wang Zehai, didn't realize anything.

However, Tang Yi knew that this was a greater exploration than encompassing thousands of miles of Xinjiang and becoming a country in a war, and it was worth seeing him off.

......

――――――

Early the next morning, the dock of Haizhou Shipyard was crowded with people.

On this voyage, there were four flagship treasure ships with a length of 50 zhang, 27 sea ships with a length of 30 zhang, 53 grain ships and cargo ships, and 17 horse ships, totaling 101 and 101.

On the wharf, the crew alone has reached more than 10,000 people, plus the family members and boatmen who saw them off, and the entire Haizhou Shipyard wharf is almost full.

Tang Yi ripped off a piece of red silk in front of Cao Tong, Pan Feng, Qi Xuefeng, Song Kai, as well as nearly 10,000 seafarers and countless witnesses.

Suddenly, more than a square stone tablet was revealed in front of everyone.

"You guys!" Tang Yi shouted loudly.

"It's the hero of the Han family!"

"I'll erect a monument for you!"

......

Suddenly, the audience was silent, and everyone was shocked, especially the ordinary crew members like Wang Zehai.

Even the relatives and boatmen who watched the ceremony on the spot looked at each other and were stunned. Throughout the ages, when have the common people had such glory and have been erected as a monument?

This is really the handiwork of the mad king, the action of the Tang madman. Erect a monument for the people, only this one, who is not surprised?

On the stele, there are not only the exploits of more than 10,000 crew members, but also the names of each of them, all ordinary names......

But these ordinary names are engraved on the stele, standing in Haizhou Shipyard, and left in Langlang Qiankun.

Wow......

After a short period of stunnedness, it was replaced by an earth-shattering roar and heart-rending excitement.

Only this time, the passion of the 10,000-person fleet was ignited and burned red, not to mention letting them sail away, Tang Yi just let them die, and some people would not hesitate.

......

It's just a monument, but in the hearts of the people, it's heavier than 10,000 catties! Tang Yi looked at everyone in the audience with emotion.

The Han people are never numb, it's just that they are suppressed too thoroughly. From ancient times to today, there are kings who shout "people-oriented", and there are inkers who write "the world is worried." ”

How many people can understand the emperor's mind and the literati's commotion? And who has really set up a monument of the people in front of the people?

Just like the five hundred monuments of the black cavalry camp outside Gubei Pass, throughout the ancient and modern times, there are countless warriors who are more heroic than Shentu Mingliang, and there are not no soldiers who are more loyal and brave than the black cavalry battalion. However, who would have thought of erecting a monument or building a shrine for ordinary soldiers?

Tang Yi couldn't help but laugh at himself secretly, only me, a guy who despises etiquette, would dare to do this, right?

However, whoever likes to scold him. If this can summon a little Han blood and can alert the conscience of a group of scholars, it is worth it.

......

Qi Xuefeng looked at the three big characters "Qi Xuefeng" listed in the first place on the stele, and couldn't help but feel warm, but at the same time he was uneasy.

"Is this necessary? When the snow peak returns with honor, it is not too late to show his merits. ”

Tang Yi said firmly: "Yes! ”

"As long as it goes out, no matter what the result is, it is a great achievement, and it should be remembered."

"At least tell future generations that we dare to go out and explore!"

Raise your eyes to see the more than 10,000 crew members who are about to go to sea. Among them, there are shipbuilders in the shipyard, navigators trained by Tang Yi in folk studies, ordinary seafarers recruited with heavy capital, and generals who were selected from the forbidden army by Zhao Zhen to return to civilian status.

Pointing to the bottom of the stele, everyone saw that there was a line pressed under the stele, a line paved with bluestone, which was completely different from the black stone of the pier.

It runs through the north and south and extends in both directions.

"This line is 0 degrees on your sextant!"

"Name: Prime meridian."

"You go from here and come back here. This is where you are heading home! ”

"One day, you will start from here again, all the way forward without looking back, if you can still return here, then this is not only the direction of your home, but also the direction of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Tang Yi didn't care if everyone could understand it or not, but in the face of such an occasion and such a group of warriors, he couldn't help but express it, and couldn't help but say all this.

As for the "prime meridian"......

Actually, Tang Yi originally wanted to call it "Rose Line" directly. It's a pity that the Great Song Dynasty doesn't have the title of "rose", and even if it is called, no one understands it.

It is directly called "monthly and quarterly line"...... Well, it's a bit awkward to think about it or forget it.

Referring to the towering stone monument again:

"This monument will stand here forever, waiting for you to return."

"This line will forever witness how the warriors of the Han people explored the unknown, and how you conquered the sea!"

When Wang Zehai heard this, his face flushed, "Brother Tang, don't worry!" I swear I'll bring back the most detailed charts to Tang. ”

Tang Yi smiled, "Then please!" Take a deep breath.

"Board the ship."

"Anchor."

"Sail !!"

......

――――――

At this time, Wu Yu and Wang Yi saw Tang Yi taking the lead in boarding the giant boats, and Wang Yi couldn't help but pout, "This crazy king is really ......"

"What is it?" Wu Yu chuckled lightly and turned his head to look at this in-law.

"Shouldn't a monument be erected for the shipwright?"

Wang Yi was not angry, "Isn't it right? Insulting Sven! ”

Wu Yu shook his head and was silent, wanting to speak and stopped. In the past, he may have thought the same way, erecting a monument is a special honor! When I arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, I couldn't wait for it to be an honor exclusive to scholars. The literati did not want to share this privilege with the people.

But now, Wu Yuzhen doesn't think so. Maybe he, who was once an old stubborn, has been influenced by Tang Yi.

I still remember the eighth year of Qingli, the Yellow Dragon danced, and Tang Yi was in front of the Xuande Gate, in front of the official family and hundreds of officials and the people of Kaifeng. That time, Tang Yi touched Wen Yanbo, and at the same time put forward a proposition for hundreds of officials, how to guide the people's hearts and opinions?

And this is where Tang Yi is powerful, don't look at him crazy, but Wu Yu knows how smart this kid is. Erecting a monument may have seven points of true feelings, but three of them must be to win people's hearts. The meaning of inciting the crowd is in it.

If nothing else, what can this monument have? But in the eyes of those boatmen, it was different. Many people will sell their lives to Tang madmen for the sake of this monument.

But it's just such a monument, how many people don't want to give it?

looked at Wang Yi with a smile on his face, but he didn't mention the matter of the monument.

"I heard that Kezhi and Dalang don't have a good relationship?"

When Wang Yi heard this, he immediately frowned, "Not harmonious? The old man wishes he would stay away from me! ”

As he spoke, he also glanced at Tang Yi's back, and said with disgust: "A madman who doesn't know what to do and is rude!" ”

These two people don't like each other, Tang Yi doesn't want to see Wang Yi, how can Wang Yi, a Confucian orthodoxy, look down on the unruly man of the crazy king?

"Kezhi!" Wu Yu couldn't hold back a smile. "I advise you."

"What!?"

"Don't mess with Tang Zihao!"

"Huh?" Wang Yi was quite surprised. "Even you say that?"

In Wang Yi's view, Wu Yu is not a person who does not distinguish between relatives and courtesy. He and Tang Yi are close, but because of his proximity, he connived at this guy and let him abolish the etiquette and forget the ceremony, which is the villain's behavior.

Wu Yu laughed, but he didn't argue with him, there were too many things to say to Wang Yiming.

"Dalang is not easy to ......"

"No matter how difficult it is, he can't ignore the law, right?"

Wang Yi came to the spirit, "Don't talk about it from afar, just talk about the incident in Runan Palace." I've also heard that the family has bad intentions. However, there is a national law and a criminal law for disobedience, and he lynched and acted recklessly, what is the matter? ”

"If everyone learns from him and sees who is wrong, he will be lynched, then the court will not be chaotic?"

"Alas!" Wu Yu sighed. "It's not as simple as Ke Zhi thinks."

"Isn't it easy?"

"Let's put it this way." Wu Yu had no choice but to get the way. "His merits are greater than his faults, and the benefits of this matter are greater than its harm!"

“......”

Wang Yi was still not angry, but he also heard that Wu Chunqing was reluctant to talk to him about something.

glanced at Wu Yu, "I see you, you were made happy by this madman, and you lost your virtue as a gentleman." ”

"Hey!" Wu Yu got a temper, and the more this old guy talked, the more excessive.

"I have to argue with Ke Zhi to see if he has lost his virtue or Ke Zhi is blind."

"Argue and argue! Didn't he just accept a Yan Yun? This is the only work, and it will not be used for a thousand years? ”

Wu Yu secretly disdained, "A gong? Isn't that big enough? Besides, how can Tang Yi do more than one work? He has a lot of merit. ”

Many things are not as obvious as Yan Yun, but this does not mean that Tang Yi has not done anything else, or that he has only done Yan Yun in the past ten years.

In fact, in addition to Yanyun, the Northwest Salt Reform, Song Yan Avenue, and Tongji Canal, which one is not a meritorious achievement?

Not to mention these big ones, many small changes in subtleties, everyone just didn't notice it, but its significance is not lighter than the previous big work. For example, chalkboard and chalk.

These two seemingly trivial things have completely changed the traditional way of teaching.

This method came out of Guanlan and became popular in the Great Song Dynasty in a few years. How many Confucian students have benefited from the original oral lectures to the current combination of board books and lectures?

Another example, pinyin.

The number of readers in the Great Song Dynasty has not changed because of this, but after ten years of hard work, the popularity of the Great Song Pinyin has exceeded half.

In other words, although the people do not know books and do not know how to learn, they can achieve basic literacy. This alone is definitely a merit for a thousand years.

.....

――――――――

Tang Yi didn't know that Old Man Wu was helping him sell hard, in fact, even if he knew, he would definitely not appreciate it.

Just that old stubborn, what nonsense are you talking to him? Wang Zeng's old husband was also the same, and gave him the word "Kezhi......

Ke: Object, poor reason. But Wang Yi is good, the whole is a rotten Confucian, and he hasn't even learned one-tenth of his old son.

By this time, the ship had set sail and sailed all the way to the northeast, gradually moving away from the coastline.

More than 100 sea ships sailed in formation, not to mention the Great Song Dynasty, Tang Yi had never seen it with his own eyes in his previous life.

A large area of mighty and mighty, I can't even see the tail ship in the first ship. Only when you are there can you feel how shocking and spectacular it is.

......

The boat travels for a day, without wind and waves.

Early the next morning, Tang Yi just got up and went up to the deck, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Huh? What is that? ”

On the left side of the ship, an island was hidden in the morning mist.

"The Ryukyu Islands? Doesn't seem to be so fast, right? ”

Wang Zehai pointed forward to him, "It is a nameless island, see it, it is going northeast, and you can reach Ryukyu." ”

"Our seagoing ships generally use it for navigation."

"Isolated islands?" Tang Yi wrinkled his brows, almost lying on the ship's pole and looking at it.

"Why do you look so familiar?"

After thinking about it for a long time, his eyes widened suddenly, "Damn, Lao Tzu remembered......"

"Stop the ship, stop the ship!"

"Order the fleet to stop, I want to land on the island!!"

Everyone was shocked, what kind of moth did this mad king have?

Wang Zehai even persuaded: "It is an uninhabited desert island, with no water source and no residents. Nothing but stones. ”

"If you stop the boat, stop the boat, what's the nonsense!?"

Tang Yi didn't explain at all, he had to go to the island domineeringly.

"But......" Wang Zehai wailed speechlessly. The islands are all shallow, and our big boats can't get to the shore at all! ”

"This ......," Tang Yi pondered for a moment. Put the boat. ”

"Landing on the island!!"

Well, that's crazy.

Everyone knew that no one could stop him, so in desperation, the big ship dropped anchor and released a few small boats carrying Tang Yi and more than a dozen seafarers to row towards the island.

Qi Xuefeng, Song Kai, Cao Tong and other entourages didn't know what he was going to do, so they were curious and followed Tang Yi to the island.

It took a lot of effort to finally set foot on the isolated island, and sure enough, as Wang Zehai said, there was nothing on this island except for a half-high stone mountain.

But Tang Yi's face was flushed and excited.

first took a good look at the desert island, and then made an even crazier decision:

"Take local materials, find a big stone and chisel a tablet for me."

Qi Xuefeng rolled his eyes, are you addicted to erecting a monument? Another monument?

Or Song Kai understood Tang Yi and leaned in, "What are you going to do?" ”

Tang Yi was amused, "It's okay, I just want to set up an ancestral monument!" ”

......

It took the crew of the fleet three days to complete this stone monument. Thanks to the fact that there are craftsmen on board, the work of a stonemason can also be done.

In short, this monument is really not small, bigger than the monument in Haizhou.

After Tang Yi saw it, he was very satisfied and very complacent.

Cao Yan was speechless, "Are you really crazy?" Is it necessary to delay the three-day shipping schedule for such a broken monument? ”

"Yes!" Tang Yi stiffened his neck. "Of course there is, the merit is in eternity!"

Cao Tong rolled his eyes angrily, "Even if it's useful, then can you carve some good words?" ”

Yang Tian wailed: "You are the champion, you came up with such a broken word? ”

I saw that there were seven extremely conspicuous characters engraved on the stele.

"Fishing, fishing, islands, is, Han, people, of".

The following existing payment is made:

Jiayou three years Wuxu, the first day of April, Tang Yi.
