How long has it been since the Barque project began?

Zhang Qi couldn't remember clearly.

I just remember that it seemed like I had just taken over Xianbei at that time.

At this moment, it is almost October in the outside world, and heavy snow is about to come.

The outside world has been around for almost a year, but for the horse-and-blade world, it has been almost twenty-four years.

The original batch of craftsmen are now gray-haired old men, and the wolf cubs who were the first to follow Zhang Qi and be selected to join the dock project are now in their thirties and forties.

Zhang Qi originally thought that this project would take two generations, but he did not expect that after the Han Dynasty shipwrights joined, the project would be completed in just a few years.

dock.

Zhang Qi strode in.

There were about two to three hundred people standing around. These were the people who first started the three-masted sailboat project and have been supplemented from time to time.

Seeing the changes in their appearance, Zhang Qi couldn't help but straighten his clothes and straighten his waist.

"Everyone."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

One sentence, "Thank you for your hard work," sums up all the hard work these people have put in day after day for so many years.

Looking back at that time, someone in the dock suddenly had tears filling his eyes.

"For your Majesty!"

"A worthy death!"

More than 300 people, neatly drinking, live here and have long regarded this as their home, and Zhang Qi is their parent. Although Zhang Qi is younger than them in terms of current age, they used to be their parents. A young child played in front of Zhang Qi.

As the manager and leader of the shipyard, Yang Disheng spoiled the atmosphere at the wrong time. When he came to Zhang Qi, he bowed and said: "Master, please come here. The newly built sailboat has completed its trial voyage and has now docked." ."

Zhang Qi took Yang Disheng's arm: "Take me to see."

More than 300 people followed Zhang Qi's footsteps to the pier outside the shipyard. Two large ships were docked there. One of them, Zhang Qi knew, was a first-generation ship that relied on stacking materials and could not sail at all. The other ship was either a hull or a ship. The sailboat that looks more formal with its paint is the result of more than 20 years in the dockyard.

'Barque! '

A real sea ship that can sail around the world!

Zhang Qi looked excitedly at the sailboat that had completed its trial voyage. This is the foundation of the great cause. With this, the world is no longer unfamiliar. Countless wealth and countless high-quality crops will be introduced into this world. A vast land.

The ocean, the land, the heaven and the earth are huge, but let Zhang Qi gallop!

"Try, what was the result of the trial flight?"

Zhang Qi was so excited that he stuttered a bit when he spoke.

Yang Disheng did not speak, but waved and asked a shipwright from the Han Dynasty to speak.

The man cupped his hands and said somewhat cautiously: "Your Majesty, the ship is sailing normally, but..."

"But what?"

What Zhang Qi is most afraid of hearing are the vague words "but" and "but".

Sea ships are a top priority and there is no room for carelessness!

The shipwright was startled by Zhang Qi's eyes, and then said tremblingly: "The wind in the Kingdom of God is too weak, and the ship's resistance to wind and waves has not been detected. This may be a hidden danger."

Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He had forgotten that in today's world of riding and slashing, although there is rain, it is light rain, and although there is wind, it is a breeze.

"in this way."

Zhang Qi condensed slightly and then looked around. These people have been studying three-masted sailing ships for more than twenty years. The youngest is now thirty years old. If he continues to stay in this world, he will wait until Zhang Qi finishes the Liaodong Campaign. Finally, they may turn into loess.

Since the world cannot detect the wind and wave resistance of sailboats, then simply move the dock to the outside world. This can also be considered as extending the lifespan of these people from Zhang Qi's perspective.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi said in a deep voice: "Pack it up, I will take you to the outside world. All future research and construction will be completed outside."

Faced with Zhang Qi's order, everyone agreed without hesitation.

Soon, more than 300 people dispersed, and only Yang Disheng was still beside Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi glanced at him and asked, "You don't need to clean it up?"

Yang Disheng shrugged: "I came without a trace, and I should leave like this. I learned this from the books the master brought."

Yang Disheng's face was relaxed and comfortable, and his whole person seemed to be calm and calm.

Zhang Qi chuckled: "Why, you have completed the research on ships, and you want to study philosophy?"

"It's not a bad idea, Master."

Yang Disheng also laughed.

Zhang Qi smiled and scolded him: "Go away, you have a lot of things to do behind you. If you want to be lazy, there is no way!"

"Then I can only devote myself to my master."

Yang Disheng bowed deeply, but there was mostly a smile on his face.

Soon, everyone had packed up. In fact, there was nothing to pack. What they brought most were various data parameters recorded over the years. There were more than 300 people each with one or two large wooden boxes. There was nothing else in them. It's paper.

Looking at the mountains of records, Zhang Qi glanced at Yang Disheng doubtfully: "You really have nothing to clean up?"

Yang Disheng poked his head with his finger: "Don't worry, they are all here, my master."

"Okay, then wait for me for a moment."

Regarding Yang Disheng's words, Zhang Qi chose to believe that although he is no different from a normal person now, he evolved from an NPC after all. It is not strange to be a little strange. Moreover, other data parameters are enough to make up for it. The dock is There are no secrets, so there is no possibility of keeping anything secret.

Zhang Qi withdrew from the world of riding and cutting, turned off the ability of 'time and space', and the world of riding and cutting came to a standstill.

He walked out of the royal court, got on his horse, and with only Hu Er and four female soldiers as bodyguards beside him, he rode straight towards Xianbei.

At full speed, Zhang Qi and the others arrived at the Xianbei Royal Court in just one day.

Compared with the noise and heat of Wuhuan, it is much more peaceful here. People living in the Xianbei Royal Court, in addition to herding cattle and horses and farming every day, only collect wood, minerals, and other resources.

The only work that can be considered industrial is cement production.

Zhang Qi returned quietly. After arriving in Xianbei, he did not rest. Instead, he chose an empty place and returned to the world of riding and cutting.

The next moment, more than three hundred people appeared in the open space.

Looking at them, Zhang Qi said loudly: "From now on, you and I will live here."

"promise!"

It was late at night, Zhang Qi led people into the royal court, and asked Hui to arrange their accommodation.

Today's Xianbei is Zhang Qi's granary in the outside world. Although food production is not enough, that is because of time.

Today's Xianbei has changed from 20,000 acres of fields to a large farm of 200,000 acres. In one year, the Public Works Department opened up the fields with Quyuan plows, horses and sufficient manpower. Now it has 200,000 acres. There are already 140,000 acres of beans in the fields that are about to mature.

And these fields planted with soybeans will be planted with sorghum and pumpkins in the coming year. Needless to say, next year will definitely be a bumper harvest.
