The cooks in the military camp were very quick with their hands and feet. In just a moment, a pork shoulder and a large grass carp freshly pulled from the river were placed on the table. Liang Chuan said he didn't want to drink, so he cut some more mutton and brought it up.
The speed was very fast. Although Si Fangxing was a good soldier, he also knew that the most important thing in marching was speed. The speed of fighting must be fast, and the speed of cooking must be fast. Only by moving forward together can we defeat the enemy. It sounds simple but it is true.
Liang Chuan picked up a few pieces of fish, swallowed the fish whole, put down his chopsticks and said to Si Fangxing: "Look at the people under you, not only me but you yourself probably want to slap them. I'm sure you can't count on the veterans and greasers under you." First, we need to replace the personnel with a group of capable and capable people."
Gao Chun said: "All the good boatmen on the river have been recruited and taken away. Where can we find people?"
Huh, can't find anyone? This is because the money is not in place!
Liang Chuan said: "Human potential is unlimited. People who make a living on the river are not just good at water. I estimate that many people in Qingyuan are not bad at water. People who make a living by the sea and water are not allowed to swim unless they are allowed to swim in the water. The gap is obvious. It’s just a matter of rowing a boat. If you train a little more, your level will rise immediately.”
Si Fangxing became more and more irritated when he heard what he said so lightly. The strongest person in Qingyuan was now in his camp, so where could he go to find someone? However, out of respect for Liang Chuan, he still asked: "Hey, Sanlang, tell me, where is he?"
Liang Chuan said mysteriously: "I see there are a lot of freeloaders in the Weiyuan Tower Prison. Organize these people. If they win the competition, go to Mr. Zhao and help them reduce their sentences with some kind words. If They are disobedient and make trouble or say that I am not working hard for this game. Hum, I believe that Brother Chun, you have many ways to control them and make them regret coming to this world. They should remember better and be more careful in the next life. Be a good person and don't commit crimes again. The wrong path!"
Gao Chun's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands excitedly, and said to Si Fangxing: "Wonderful! How could I have forgotten these scum? Many of these people were also water pirates who used to make a living on the river, but they committed all kinds of crimes. It's a minor crime. The predecessor, Mr. Shi, left office and left a lot of cases. Mr. Zhao has not had the chance to bring them to trial. These unjust ghosts have been imprisoned for several years. They have been waiting for the government to grant them amnesty all day long. They have not been looking forward to the stars and the moon in the past few years. For such good things, some people are almost going crazy in the dark prison. Now that there are such good things, these people's crimes can be serious or serious. If you give them a chance, they might really fight to the death!"
Si Fangxing didn't know what kind of people were locked up in Weiyuan Tower, but when he heard about this method, he guessed that it could be done. There is no reason why people should not desperately hold on to freedom. Using money to stimulate it does not necessarily mean using amnesty to stimulate it. These guys work great!
It is said that many of the people in Weiyuan Tower are innocent, but they were offended by Lord Shi Yongnang before and refused to pronounce the sentence. They were imprisoned until Lord Zhao took charge of the Quanzhou Mansion.
The two of them sang and drank, and the fire of hope was immediately ignited.
Liang Chuan said: "Brother Chun, you just need to add fuel to the fire. If they lose, send them on their way. They are all ghosts waiting to die anyway. If the ghosts in hell have a chance to reappear in the world, why don't they risk their lives? "
Gao Chun said excitedly: "I will immediately go to the Weiyuan Tower Prison to recruit troops. These rotten fish and shrimps are given a chance to turn over a new leaf. They have helped us complete this important matter. I will go to Lao Fang, who will have his sentence reduced or not." Settle it, at least I can guarantee that they won’t have to be beaten in the prison and won’t have to drink that smelly porridge anymore. Brother, this is a good deed.”
Liang Chuan thought in his heart that the good deeds he did were so good that the people inside were almost dumbfounded. If he had a chance to come out for air, even if he had to work hard, it would be better than hiding in a place that smelled of stench. Besides, if he really came out to train, the food would be worse. ?
Liang Chuan said: "Brother Chun, when you ask them to come out for training, you have to tell them that there will be big fish and meat in the past half month. Let them eat until their bellies are full. What you want is to turn the food into strength." Come out, practice well and drink. If you dare to be lazy, not only will you not be able to eat the smelly porridge, but you will also have to eat the mud to your fullness. Oh, by the way, don’t go looking for those who have committed capital crimes. These people are afraid of breaking the cans. If he repeatedly hurts people and commits crimes, it won’t be easy for us to deal with him, so we can just pick on those who commit minor crimes.”
Si Fangxing immediately urged Gao Chun: "Brother Chun, hurry up and find someone. Just do what brother Liang Chuan said. If this is done, I will reward them with wine. If I fail, I will chop them up first!"
Gao Chun cursed and said: "I haven't eaten yet. If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass. You can't boss people around like that." However, he knew that Si Fangxing took this matter seriously, and they were close friends with each other. My friend, without stopping, immediately went to Weiyuan Tower to pick someone up.
In the Song Dynasty prison, whether the prisoners served their sentences on time and in the right place was not a serious obstruction of justice. When Wu Song was assassinating, he could also go out to help Shi En to expand his territory. There was actually a transfer of benefits. Once the relationship is in place, it's not difficult for you to go out and visit the brothel. As long as you don't run away and you can show up in the prison on time when your superiors want to see you, that'll be fine.
For Gao Chun and Si Fangxing, borrowing a few prisoners who were not guilty of capital crimes from Weiyuan Tower Prison was easier than drinking water.
After Gao Chun left, Si Fangxing picked up the pig's trotters and handed them to Liang Chuan's mouth and said, "Brother, tell me what else you need me to do?"
When Liang Chuan said that prisoners would go boating in exchange for a better life, he believed that Liang Chuan was not deceiving him. Who would think of such an idea? This kind of damn good idea is something that even Gao Chun, who has read books, would never have thought of it!
Not to mention that the cooking skills of the cooks in this military camp are not bad, the meat can be cooked so badly in such a short time, it is completely delicious, and the meat and tendons can be bitten off without any effort.
There is also this white-cut mutton, which is boiled with only plain water. When eating, it should be mixed with soy sauce and vinegar, and it will be full of fragrance in your mouth. As the saying goes, fish plus mutton is a fresh word, and the ancients do not deceive me. Liang Chuan felt satisfied after taking a few bites. Looking at the expectant Si Fangxing, he dipped a little water and drew a dragon boat on the table.
This dragon boat is long and slender with a slender shape, which is very different from ordinary fish boat dragon boats. Even Si Fangxing, who plays in the autumn breeze on the river every day, has never seen a dragon boat with this shape. He was stunned and said: "This is... a dragon boat?"
Liang Chuan wiped his hands, took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth and said: "Yes, we need people to do dragon boat racing, but the key to winning these competitions is not people. No matter how hard our people train, it will be difficult for them to compete with those animals." The average Kunlun slave is stronger, so we can only take a different approach and work hard on the boat. I carefully observed the dragon boats of the Wu and Pu families and other teams in Fengzhou. Although their people are top-notch in water skills, their boats are not. , the bulky hull will only waste energy, and the wide shape of the bow will cause great resistance on the water. Their paddles are thick and long, and their strength will be exhausted when they paddle to the rear. Moreover, even if their paddle speed is comparable to Raiden, using a boat like this will also reduce his speed. If you want to win, you can only use a boat like mine!"
Si Fangxing looked at the dragon boat again and said, "Brother, are you sure there is such a dragon boat? I have lived on this river for countless years, why have I never seen it before?"
Liang Chuan said: "This dragon boat cannot be bought elsewhere, so we can only build it ourselves. Do you know any reliable boat builders? This boat cannot be leaked, otherwise we will definitely lose this time!"
Si Fangxing slapped his thigh, jumped up and said: "This is not easy, Lao Liang, Liang Zao is a shipbuilder, and his craftsmanship is the best in Qingyuan. The shipyard is near the port. Let's go, let's go soon." Go to him."
During this day, Liang Chuan had already visited several places, but Si Fangxing was so anxious that he rushed to the dock next to the port without stopping.
Liang Chuan had seen the spectacular sight of the sea-going ships one after another in the port, and had also seen the rows of warehouses of the port government. However, seeing this dock today really refreshed Liang Chuan's new awareness of the creativity of the handicraft industry of this era.
Liang Zao is a bit interesting.
He is a very typical craftsman who strives for perfection, does not recognize any relatives at work, and has a very persistent craftsman spirit. However, outside of work, he is muddle-headed. He pours a glass of wine at the table and follows these people around Qingyuan every day with a smile.
Liang Chuan followed Si Fangxing to the dock. All shipyards in Qingyuan are publicly owned by the imperial court, and private individuals are not allowed to build ships. After the ships and fishing boats were built, they were sold to individuals. Regardless of whether they were foreigners or Han people in Qingyuan, as long as they had money, the government would sell them, so the shipbuilding industry was very developed.
Three sides of the dock are connected to the land, leaving one side facing the water. It is said that the current in Sunjiang River is too fast. In the past, when boats were built in the river, the rising tide would easily wash away the boats. Later, people were sent to guard the boats. A lot of migrant workers were hired every year, which was a waste of time and money. Liang Zaozu ordered people to dig a big pit by the river and build a boat in the pit. After the boat was built, he would dig a hole and let water in. The boat would float in the water and sail into the sea.
There were no dragon cranes in this era, but the creative Chinese people still found ways to deal with it. Liang Chuan admired it from the bottom of his heart.
The dock is divided into a dock chamber and a dock head. Ships can enter and exit the dock. During shipbuilding, the water-blocking dock door is lowered to prevent water from flowing in. The keel piers and side piers that support the ship are placed in the dock room. When Liang Chuan came in, a huge unformed sea-going ship was standing on the keel piers. It was twenty-five meters long from front to back and nearly ten meters wide. It was so big. The ship Liangchuan had never seen in later generations. Unless he saw it with his own eyes, he didn't believe that such a large ship existed a thousand years ago.
Si Fangxing patted Liang Chuan on the back and said, "You haven't seen them before, right? There are so many of them in the port, it's fun to see them."
Liang Chuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Liang Zao, "How much cargo can Lao Liang's boat carry?"
Liang Zao said calmly: "It's not a problem to haul a cargo weighing 400,000 kilograms."
Liang Chuan thought he heard wrongly and asked again: "How much...how much?"
Liang Zao said: "About 400,000 kilograms, why, too little?"
Oh my god, 400,000 kilograms is equivalent to two hundred tons of cargo. Ordinary agricultural vehicles can only carry six or seven tons. This sea-going ship can pull two hundred tons. This was a thousand years ago. . If there were no restrictions on the development of this productive force, we descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties would have conquered even Mars in a thousand years.
