Yang Gan looked at the young man and asked, "Name, place of origin, how old are you, and what do you do?"
The young man smacked his mouth, his face was a little sunken, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm, okay, hungry."
Yang Gan looked at him with interest and blinked at Qin Xiangru next to him.
Qin Xiangru immediately arranged for her servants to go downstairs to get food. When he saw the table full of meat dishes, the young man's eyes suddenly turned green and he pounced on them like a hungry wolf.
Yang Qian flew to the young man's side, kicked him, and immediately knocked him away.
"You're looking for death. If you eat like this, will your stomach burst?"
After Yang Gan finished speaking, he scooped out a spoonful of meat porridge from the casserole and handed it to his hand. The young man stared at everything blankly and took a tentative sip. He didn't have much time to finish the bowl of meat porridge.
Yang Qian also returned to the sofa and had a bowl of meat porridge to cushion his stomach. At least now, when he eats it, the young man's body will have more accurate feedback and he will not be starved to death.
"Hiccup~~~!"
After a long time, the young man burped and finally had enough.
After raising his hands to Yang Qian, he said, "I am Tang Long, a native of Shangguo and a native of Xingguo. He is 18 years old and has been passed down by his ancestors to shipbuilding."
Yang Gan raised the corner of his mouth slightly. This boy was quite interesting. He actually answered his words. He rarely met such interesting people.
But he didn't show his expression. Instead, he mocked, "Ancestral shipbuilding? You are not good at this ancestral craft. Building a ship almost drowned your county governor. I plan to find a man-made ship. If it were you, wouldn't you want to drown me?" "
Tang Long suddenly became excited, "Sir, I am unjust. The ship I spent a year building sank just after it went out to sea. There is no reason. And there was no wind and waves that day. My enemies must have tampered with the bottom of the ship."
Yang Gan gave Qin Xiangru a look, and the latter immediately gave him a pen and paper, indicating to him to draw the shape of the ship.
After a while, Yang Qian came to Tang Long and looked at it. He was surprised by the detail of the drawing. It was already very professional, at least in his own opinion.
Tang Long introduced, "This is a large wing commonly used by the Navy. After I improved it, it is even larger, 30 feet long, and can be equipped with 150 soldiers."
"How did the ship sink? Did it turn sideways or sink straight down?" Yang Gan asked.
"Sinking straight down."
Yang Gan nodded, "It seems that there is indeed a villain behind your back, but in my opinion, your drawings are very ordinary, it's no big deal."
Tang Long was stunned, obviously trying to suppress his anger. "Sir, I have modified this big wing. If it can be used as a sea-going ship, it will be considered a great innovation of mine."
Yang Gan smiled and said, "What's the difference between the river and the sea?"
Tang Long said without thinking, "The biggest difference is that there are no waves in the river, but there are waves in the sea."
"That's right."
Yang Gan took charcoal and wrote on the drawing. He did not draw the entire ship, but just drew the correct shape of the ship.
Tang Long took it over and took a look, his eyes gradually narrowed, and after a long time, he said with a speechless expression.
"Sir, why is the bottom of the ship pointed? Almost all of today's warships have oval or flat bottoms."
"A sea-going ship needs to ride the wind and waves in the sea, and breaking the waves requires a sharp assembly line. How should I put it? Does Xingguo have building ships?"
"right."
"If you change the bottom of a building boat to a sharp bottom, and the five-story building becomes a three-story building, do you think it will still capsize in the sea?"
Then Yang Gan threw all the balance, water flow and other things to Tang Long, regardless of whether he could understand or not.
Tang Long seemed to be suffering from hysteria as he kept writing and drawing on the drawings.
"Sir, sir, this is located in the north. Who are you? How do you have such advanced sea-going ship technology? According to my speculation, just by modifying the ship shape and bottom, the built sea-going ship can ride the wind and waves in the sea. .”
"But this kind of boat also has disadvantages. Because it is too big and the draft is too deep, it cannot enter rivers and is easily stranded."
Yang Qian took out a large drawing from the study and spread it out in front of him.
Tang Long grabbed his hair with both hands, almost scratching off his scalp. His eyes were red and he said, "What kind of ship is this?"
"There are five kinds of things above (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 418: Shipbuilding Family
All ship types can be used in the sea, so study them carefully. "
Tang Long was a little stunned, "Sir, this, this thing is not difficult. As long as the shape and material are understood, it is not difficult for me, but it is impossible for me to build such a huge warship with my own strength." .”
"Then how many people do you want?"
Tang Long counted on his fingers and said, "Actually, ordinary people can do it, but there are at least a hundred shipwrights. Moreover, my family is still mining. I need their help. Our entire family can build ships."
The corner of Yang Gan's mouth twitched sharply, "You won't tell me that because you sank a boat, the whole family was arrested."
Tang Long nodded seriously, "Well, my whole family has been sent here. I know it's called Yuntong County, but I don't even know where it is."
"Yu'er, bring all Tang Long's family members here and arrange food and lodging according to the standards of the guests."
"Yes, sir."
After Tang Long packed up all the drawings, he hurriedly followed Xiao Yu out. Xiao Yu did everything neatly and quickly gathered all of them together.
Fortunately, they had just been sent to the slave camp, so they did not suffer much, and the women were not insulted, but they were quite frightened.
They had seen people doing corvee labor and had seen hard labor. Although it was very miserable, they were dumbfounded when they entered the slave camp. Although the camp was clean and tidy, the people here were all gray-faced and only wore strange clothes. Pants.
The most shocking thing is the resignation and dullness in these people's eyes, a look full of deathly silence.
Yang Qian paid a lot of money to keep the slave camp clean. After all, if it was too dirty and messy, it would be troublesome if it caused an epidemic.
There was no rush to build the ship, but the decision at that time was still correct. I thought about how to make money and produce food.
Now that the wallet is fatter, some large-scale projects have been launched, and the huge expenditures of money and food cannot damage one's foundation. Just the tenant rent collected in Zhuangzi is a huge amount of food in one season.
The endless food can be sold to the county and various county towns. The sales of a large number of products such as alcohol and some skin care products are a huge sum, not to mention Fujiko Jin who continues to make a lot of money for himself.
Although money has been spent, the gold and silver money in the treasury under the mansion has not decreased, but has increased in number.
In fact, you don’t need any modern thinking to do business in this era, because many things and many industries do not exist in this era, so you just need to find them out. The purchasing power of Xia people is still very strong.
A lot of goods are also exported to Liao and Shang countries, and his own caravan is not limited to Fujiko Shin.
Because after the king's order, Yuntong County was completely autonomous, so he also had the right to use taxes, but now he had more money.
Since the cheap dad gave him face like this, Yang Qian had to return the three-cent gift, right, even though he didn't have to pay it.
But he still paid on time and according to the amount. In this way, in the court, the cheap dad could also speak for himself, resist the pressure of the family, and let himself free his hands to play with Goguryeo.
In the mansion arranged by Xiao Yu, Tang Long and his family were finally reunited, and everyone cried with joy.
After understanding the whole story, they understood that this was the owner of the place who wanted to build a ship for him.
The eldest father said, "Alon, what is the identity of the master here?"
Tang Long shrugged and looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu said lightly, "According to your current status, you enjoy the treatment of a retainer, but for a big family like you, your annual salary is probably not enough. If your whole family can build ships, it would be best if you can make some achievements. Master is not a stingy person." people."
The gray-haired Tang Daqiang cupped his hands and said, "Who is my lady here?"
Xiao Yu said, "This place is Yuntong County of Xia Kingdom, Yangzhuang outside the city. The owner here is Lord Wu'an, Yang Qian, and I am his family chief, Xiao Yu."
In an instant, everyone's faces were dull. Their family could be considered a family of craftsmen. If placed in a modern professional family, they would have a higher social status and naturally receive more information.
"It's incredible, this is Lord Wu'an's territory." Tang Daqiang suddenly started sweating from his temples. This is a famous general of our time.
"Mr. Xiao, why are we here?" Tang Daqiang thought it was better to clarify the matter first (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 418: Shipbuilding Family
Better.
How could Xiao Yu not hear it, but he still explained patiently, "When Shang Guo and Xia Guo formed an alliance, your Majesty once presented a batch of weapons to your prime minister, at least 50,000 pieces. In exchange, Shang Guo The country needs to provide corresponding prisoners."
Immediately everyone understood what was going on.
Xiao Yu said to Tang Daqiang, "Three days, I will give you three days to write down a detailed plan for the warships that your Majesty needs. Don't blame me for not making it clear. You are still slaves now. You were sent here as slaves." of."
"This, our Tang family has been a family of craftsmen for generations, and we have been reduced to a lowly status." Tang Daqiang's eyes turned red, and his originally upright figure gradually became more rugged, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
"Father, as long as we work hard to build ships, we can definitely get rid of slavery."
As soon as Tang Long said that, the family members immediately gathered around Tang Daqiang to comfort him, and Xiao Yu's eyes gradually became dull. Once upon a time, the atmosphere in her home was like this, and the relationship was very good, but...
Unconsciously, her tone softened, "Your Majesty is very generous. As long as you do your job well, slavery and the like are just trivial matters."
Tang Daqiang didn't have time to feel sad, so he took the drawing from his grandson's hand and looked at it. Gradually, his eyes became sharp and he looked at his son, grandson, and granddaughter. Everyone couldn't help but look shocked.
Tang Daqiang swallowed and wiped the sweat from his face, "Which country is Mr. Wu An going to attack?"
Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that this old man could see through it. It was not easy.
Although I think their family atmosphere is good, it doesn't mean they can interfere with things they shouldn't know.
