Chapter 294: The beginning of the blue ocean

Many days have passed in the Jian'an Competition, but after many years, the Jian'an people were full of fascination when talking about it. From that day on, the snails that were unwilling to be loved in the past immediately became in short supply. The whole process of cooking snails by the little boss was not covered at all. The chefs who were busy winning the rankings did not see the entire process, but don't forget that among the onlookers, there were also many chefs who did not participate in the competition and came with a learning attitude.

Among the crowds who watched this day, the chef's ratio was probably the highest in the world that day. It can almost be said that among the ten, there were only three or four of them in this industry. Therefore, the cooking method of snails quickly spread. The most time-consuming part here was the ratio of sauce mixing, but for the chef, it was easy to solve the problem by experimenting a few times.

As I wish, I saw that Wang Kuang won the first place without a doubt by frying snails. Cheng Chumo and the others followed Xu Guoxu back to Chang'an within a few days after the competition. Wang Xian was also with him. Although the regular exam was about to be held next autumn, Wang Kuang decided to let Wang Xian go out early and experience it. It was useless to be smart around him. He had to be smart alone.

Wang Xian had no servants, but Wang Wu forced Chou and said that he was a servant for Wang Xian. It was hard to imagine that a 14-year-old scholar would be regarded as a servant of six or seven years old. Fortunately, he was going to Chang'an. There was a Lin family in Chang'an, and he could make arrangements for Wang Xian, and Cheng Chumo and others, so Wang Xian would basically not be bullied.

Not many days after Wang Xian left, Huang Da took Chen Da and the others and handed Wang Kuang a baggage. Wang Kuang untied it and saw that there were several books in it, not books read by students. To be precise, it should be a handwritten manuscript of various magic tricks and tricks circulating in the market. Some of them were also equipped with illustrations, including the detailed structure of the water wheel, the two structures of the new plow and the corresponding usage. Even mentioned movable type printing, and also mentioned that the new glass burning method seemed to use sand instead of quartz.

Wang Kuang handed the handwritten copies to Li Yesi and asked him to write a letter to Li Jingzhi. With these books as credentials, he would just have a guess about the new method of burning glass. Li Lao 2 would probably say that Wang Kuang was doing well and doing well.

I heard that Wang Xian and Chou Chou set out, Huang Da wanted to chase after him and escort them all the way. Wang Kuang persuaded him to have Chu Mo and Huai Yu and others. In addition, Guoxu's identity as an emperor messenger was there, who dared to move along the way?" Huang Da thought about this and that, and he knew that Wang Xian could not always be cared for by others, so he should go out to explore early, so he gave up.

Let’s talk about Lu Dongzan. In fact, shortly after Xu Guoxu set out to Jian'an, he returned to Tubo in shame. Songzan was furious when he heard Lu Dongzan's crying and ordered troops to be held outside Songzhou, which was still known as 150,000. However, after Li Lao 2 had the real purpose of Tubo and obtained the analysis of the population and actual strength of Tubo by Wang Kuang, Li Lao 2 ordered the Songzhou defenders to attack decisively. As a result, this time, he used only 10,000 soldiers to defeat Tubo and cried to his parents.

As Wang Kuang expected, the merchant of Anxi heard that he could use fried Kafa beans or seeds to exchange for chili sauce. They all smiled and prepared early. It was easy to deal with Kafa. Lin's shop is the number of you who have, but you only need a few kilograms of seeds. You must prepare them early. You can't prepare them early. It's too late to cry. Although Anxi has too many Kafa, it has only been planted for more than a hundred years and has not been planted on a large scale.

The news from Min County was that the construction of the new building ship was very smooth. Wang Kuang's opinion was adopted, and the original pulp wheel was changed from the u-shaped to the V-shaped bottom. The sharp corners were filled with iron cabins, and the soldiers' spare swords and weapons were wrapped in oil cloth, and moved from the top to the bottom floor. In this way, a large area of ​​space was freed up, and the original fifth floor was removed one floor. The space did not become smaller, but increased. The one that could accommodate three thousand soldiers now seemed much spacious than before.

After the tower ship was modified, Tuhu followed the tower ship to sea. This time there were no soldiers. Because the cannibals could only fight, they used rafts or single-mile states, so there was no threat to the ship. Considering that some of the Homi Islanders might return to the mainland with the ship, they only carried more than a thousand soldiers, and they were all elite soldiers with good water-carrying and strong bodies.

Although the vegetable can be planted on the roof of the building, the place is limited after all. In addition, if a storm occurs, the vegetables grown will be wasted. Wang Kuang asked someone to carry more than 100 bean sprout buckets and thousands of kilograms of beans. In this way, lie back and forth on the sea and use the vegetables to replenish them, and the vitamin problem can be solved.

Not only that, Wang Kuang also used glass tiles and asked the carpenter to help make a suggested freshwater introduction device. The principle is very simple. The sun shines on the basically sealed sea water. When the water vapor rises and encounters the glass tiles. The whole top is still made of glutinous rice and egg white. The glass tiles bonded together are inclined. When the water droplets condense, they flow along the inclined surface to the collection tank. Although this small pond, which is more than ten meters in square meters, does not produce much fresh water every day, it is collected slowly to replenish the fresh water on the boat every day. At least ten days of collecting it can be used to drink water for the soldiers on the boat. They can naturally water the bean sprouts. After passing it through the bean sprout bucket, they cannot be poured. They are used to wash vegetables and rice, and rice water is used to water vegetables and dishes...

If you want to save a little east and a little west, you won’t have to worry about the renovated building ships even if you can’t see land in the sea for half a year. Moreover, at the current speed of the boat, even if it is not smooth, it will only take two or three months to get to Homi Amy Island. When you arrive on the island, you can naturally replenish your supplies.

Of course, this is a renovation of the old ship, which is more troublesome. After the renovation is completed and went to sea, we started to build a new ship according to Wang Kuang's suggestion. The layout of the new ship is much easier. After all, the two old ship workers have built ships for a lifetime. After their re-planning and layout, the new building ship is said to be able to lower the floor one more floor. Without changing the width and length of the ship, it can actually accommodate 4,000 soldiers. After being loaded with supplies, it is fine to not see land at sea for a year. The seawater desalination device was cleverly arranged by two old shipmakers on the roof of each floor and lined up four circles around the building ship. In this way, the place was vacated, and the daily freshwater output increased by more than ten times. No matter which direction the ship was in, there was always one side facing the sun.

The only thing that made Wang Kuang very unhappy was that the old ship craft said that the imperial court's allocation could only build two such building ships, which was too expensive. A building ship consumed hundreds of thousands of iron nails alone, which was not counted. The old ship craft insisted on carving beams and paintings. Wang Kuang was an outsider and had no say at all. The aesthetic view at this time was still very strict. The old ship craft did not accept the simple and solid statement that Wang Kuang said. In their opinion, this boat was a palace, and it would be better to build it?

In addition, it took at least two days to travel back and forth from Min County to Jian'an. Before Wang Kuang could react, construction had already started there, so Wang Kuang could do nothing about it.

Fortunately, it is enough to have two ships. In the future, the old tower ship will patrol the coastal areas. The two new ships will form a formation to go to the ocean. Don’t bring more troops. There are two or three thousand troops, and they will cooperate with the long-range attacks of walls and bows on the tower ship. At this time, the Pacific Ocean is the existence of a giant. It can dominate for at least decades. With decades of time, it will develop slowly. It should be no problem for a large fleet.

I had no choice but to learn the Silk Road method. The tower ship provides escort to the seamen in the ocean and pays compensation. In addition, the tower ship itself can also carry goods and do some trade. After this accumulation, it is a considerable wealth. Wang Kuang wants to help Li Lao 2 pay money, so Wang Kuang will not do it.

When the tower ship set off for Humi Amy Island, Li Yesi submitted another memorial to the court, suggesting that the court separate the water supervision of the coastal counties and establish the three major market supervisions of the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea. At the same time, the water supervision of the Duhai counties along the river were also independent, forming the Dongjiang Municipal Supervision and the Xijiang Municipal Supervision. These five major market supervisions were responsible for water trade, and the market tax was imitated, imitating the farmland tax system, collecting ten taxes and one, and placing corvee.

Looking at the strange pattern of horizontal stripes and vertical strokes on Li Yesi's memorial, which made people see clearly the water trade volume in Min County in previous years, Li Shimin was so lazy that Wang Erlang was too lazy. Even such a memorial would have to deal with others?"

It was said that it was, but Wang Kuang was a dispersed official. If Wang Kuang really submitted this memorial, it seemed that there would be a little offside, so Zhu Hong waved her pen: It's right.

He also found all the big bosses and appointed the fifth rank of the supervisor for each municipality. The deputy supervisor was from the fifth rank, and the subordinate officials were from the supervisory officials, including fishing goods, salt and iron, silk and tea, etc., all from the sixth rank. Each supervisor was also from the seventh rank, and two assistant supervisors were from the seventh rank, and then there were outgoing clerks, which seemed to be the size of a downtown official. However, the number of officials did not increase, and it was still as many as before, but allocated some of the responsibilities that originally belonged to the local area and the officials.

For example, there are officials in charge of water affairs in the history of Dao Supervision. The grade is the same as the newly established Maritime Manufacturing Supervision, and they are directly transferred, but the name has changed and they still do the same job. The difference is that they are no longer responsible to Dao, but are directly responsible to the Ministry of Revenue.

Perhaps seeing that Wang Kuang was not happy to be in charge of affairs, Mr. Li actually gave Wang Kuang a false title of Urban Manufacturing Supervision. He was a rankless person and did not stipulate that each municipality supervisor would report to Wang Kuang. He just said that the Urban Manufacturing Supervision had the right to inquire about the work of each municipality supervisor. After receiving this edict, Wang Kuang was amused and crying. He was just a conspirator, and he was just a sixth rank. Even if he was the title of county magistrate, he would still be two levels lower than the five major municipality supervisors. What about the method of inquiries?

It seems that Mr. Li is going to add another "mother-in-law" to his head. It is not enough to manage a stinky old man and sourness. Is it necessary to add a Ministry of Revenue?

Regardless of the matter, Wang Kuang’s Blue Ocean Plan has been implemented without any danger.

Besides, Wang Linbo, after receiving Wang Kuang's "order", he also firmly implemented it. Before he came to office, he had already received the instructions from his family. No matter whether Wang Erlang asked him to do it, as long as it was not a rebellion, he would not ask the reason. He should not be resistant at all. Just do it. This is the last chance for the Wang family in Taiyuan to seek understanding from the Wang family in Jian'an. If he passed this village, he would probably not be able to board the boat.

Therefore, after successfully dressing up as a pirate, he dealt with Sizi and his accomplices, and guarded the soldiers with his own eyes to tie the Sizi to a large stone and sink it into the sea. He ordered the Shishi Clippers to patrol the sea in a radius of several miles for more than an hour to ensure that everything was foolproof. After returning to Dongzhi Port, he led the soldiers, took Tuhu, and pulled Feng Fan out to sea.

Before this, he had never experienced a long-distance trip. It was not without boating at sea, but it was all coastal patrols. Where did this place have to sail on the vast ocean for several months in a row?

Fortunately, Huang Jinyuan gave him an idea. Isn’t there still a lot of space on the boat? He took a few seamen who often went out to sea and these seamen's Hakka ship workers, and did not charge their ship money. The only requirement was to point to the direction, distinguish the wind direction, and observe the rain and clouds. Those seamen were naturally extremely happy. Not to mention anything else, the tower ship was much more stable than their small boat, right? There were also thousands of soldiers, and those thieves were still a few miles away and had to flee.

With the help of these seamen and boatmen who have been seeking life on the sea for many years, and Wang Linbo is willing to leave a good impression on Wang Kuang, urging the wheel slurry to step on it all the way. The journey was very smooth, and it took only less than two months. At the end of the year, on this day, when Tuhu said that the island that hunted the people of Humi Island for food, he was too lazy to do it. He circled around the island, and the wall crossbows and arrow crossbows seemed to be a waste of money.

After the bombing, the soldiers probably hadn't been satisfied with touching the crossbows over the years, so they lit the rockets again and blasted the tongues on the island again. When the soldiers holding swords and weapons landed on the siege ship, the island was already in a mess, crying and howling, and it looked like a tragic scene.

But this scene did not make the soldiers feel weak. They had long heard that the people on this island were good for hunting people for food, and they heard along the way that the people of Humi Amy Island were also people of the Tang Dynasty and came from across the ocean in the pre-Qin period. Naturally, they were all filled with righteous indignation and ruthless actions. In an hour, the island had already turned to the sky and left no living mouth.

In order to prevent anyone from going to sea and not returning, Wang Linbo left several more marshals and a team of soldiers guarding the island, waiting for the fish that had escaped from the net to fall into the trap. He ordered the tower ship to sail to Homi Amy Island.
