Chapter 1173 Dead Wood
Taihu Lake.
On the top of Dalei Mountain, under the shade of trees, Huang Yueying lies sideways and sleeps soundly in a newly built pavilion. Although it is noon, the shade is thick and the breeze is not very frustrating. Huang Yueying sweats a little, but it does not affect her nap at all.
Feng Wan sat by the couch, shaking the fan while looking at the distance. The sails on the lake were weaving, and boats of all sizes came and went. Ships from Jiaozhou unloaded goods here, loaded with supplies from the Central Plains, and after a break, they took advantage of the northwest wind that gradually rose in autumn to return to Jiaozhou. Since June, merchant ships have been constantly arriving, and Taihu Lake is very lively, and even fishermen have benefited a lot.
A small boat and an iron cauldron, the fresh fish caught immediately were slaughtered, thrown into the water and boiled, and even without any ingredients, it would make people saliva lose their saliva. If you catch a big fish, cut it into fish sashimi, dip it in sauce, and drink a sip of Taihu Lotus Baibai, which would not feel too good.
Feng Wan couldn't help swallowing, and a rumbling sound came from her throat.
Huang Yueying opened her eyes and glanced at Feng Wan. "What did you think of?"
Feng Wan blinked. "Guess."
"Husband."
"And!" Feng Wan spat, her face red, and she squinted at Huang Yueying. "Your husband is so easy to call me, you miss him."
Huang Yueying turned over, spread her limbs and lay on the couch in a large shape. "Yes, I miss him, it's almost a year soon? Those who are unscrupulous will not come back to see you. Buzishan will help, and they will not bring a message by the way."
"Husband is busy. You have followed him to the army and know that once he starts a war, he will not even take off his clothes when he sleeps, and he will not have time to think about anything else."
"Are we something else?" Huang Yueying glared.
Feng Wan smiled but didn't say anything, and there was a little loneliness in her eyes. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, she was inevitably homesick. Apart from her parents, the one they missed the most was Sun Ce, but Sun Ce had no news recently, as if she had disappeared. Although she knew that the war was about to come and Sun Ce would be very busy, they were still unhappy. She was not like Huang Yueying saying anything, but her mind was actually the same.
Feng Wan woke up from the sound of someone talking in the distance and quickly reminded Huang Yueying to clean up. At this time, there would not be too many people who would come here to disturb him. In addition to assisting in building the sea boat, the most likely one was the prefect of Wu County Cai Mao. Huang Yueying stood up, listened to it, and lay down again. The hearty laughter with the texture of gold and copper coins should be Cai Mao.
In front of Cai Mao, she has always been at ease and unruly.
After a while, two figures appeared on the hillside. One of them was Cai Mao, and the other was Yu Fan. Feng Wan's sharp eyes quickly reminded Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying sat up and squinted her eyes until they got closer. She recognized that it was Yu Fan. She rubbed her eyes and sighed.
"Oh, my eyes are considered useless and I can't see clearly."
"I'll let you read less books, but you won't listen." Feng Wan blamed her and stood up. Huang Yueying also stood up, sat lazily beside the couch, and yawned a big yawn. "Changshi Yu, why are you free to come? Come and collect debts from Prefect Cai again?"
Yu Feng glared at Huang Yueying. "Zai Yu is a bride, and the Master denounces it to rotten wood. The master not only has a bride, but also sleeps in such a place. Don't you feel very rude? Being arrogant and taking advantage of your favor, you will be particularly troubled. The master should remember it."
Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and shook her legs casually. "Although the Changshi slept daytime, she spoke as sharp as a knife, but she was the leader of the Ten Philosophical Languages of Confucius, no less than Zaiyu. As for me, she did not have such eloquence, so the Changshi praised me."
Yu Fan was furious and was about to say something again. Huang Yueying raised her hand, "Huh" and suddenly raised her hand. "Chang Shi, you who study Yi Xue often say that saints observe elephants and make tools. What kind of elephants should you see in this sea boat? Mingyi or Wuwang?" Before Yu Fan could speak, she raised her head, thoughtful, and looked at Yu Fan, but her mind obviously had already flown elsewhere. "Oh, I understand, a gentleman is not serious, but he will not be powerful. If the dragon bone is not heavy, the boat will be overturned."
Yu Fei was stunned and didn't understand what Huang Yueying was saying. Huang Yueying suddenly jumped up, jumped up, and shouted loudly: "Bu Lianshi, Bu Lianshi, where are you going? Come and get paper and pen."
"Here, here." Bu Lianshi appeared in the woods not far away, holding paper and pen in his hand, followed by two maids, one holding a desk and the other posing a pen to wash stationery, and rushed over. They ran to Huang Yueying's couch, first arranged the desk, and then placed the stationery in a suitable position. In cooperation with the tacit understanding, the desk was set up in a blink of an eye. Bu Lianshi opened the ink box, pulled out the pen, and handed it to Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying took it, dipped ink in the ink box, and the pen was drawn on the paper.
Yu Fan was speechless, but he closed his mouth consciously. He had just discussed with Cai Mao about how to transport the rice shipped from Jiaozhou, and knew how important these sea ships were to Sun Ce. The development of sea ships has made progress, and news has been heard from Jiaozhou and Youzhou, and they all praised the new sea ships, but Huang Yueying didn't seem satisfied. She was thinking about how to improve the sea ships. It was obviously unwise to disturb her at this time.
Feng Wan stood aside, tilted her neck to look. After a while, she said "Oh" with some realization: "Is this about lengthening the dragon bone?"
"Xu" Huang Yueying raised a finger to block her mouth. "Keep it secret, this is a secret that is not easy for a thousand gold." She looked at Yu Fan again. "Changshi Yu, tell you something."
"You said." Yu Fan said seriously, and subconsciously bowed his hand.
"Arranging a trustworthy shipyard to try to produce this ship, it is not allowed to make a statement before success. After success, it must be kept as confidential as possible."
"good."
"Oh, I'm so tired." Huang Yueying put down the paper and pen and patted her forehead. "I have to sleep for a while. Do you have any trouble? Just leave if you have nothing to do. Don't affect my rotten wood sleeping daytime."
Yu Fan was so amused and cried. Cai Mao smiled and said nothing. Feng Wan pushed Huang Yueying slightly, gave Master Bu Ling's eyes, and signaled them to take care of Huang Yueying. She walked to Yu Fan and reached out to invite them aside. "The master craftsman has been a little tired these two days. If you have anything to do, you can tell me first."
Yu glanced at Huang Yueying, who was hiding on the couch and making faces at him, was helpless and had to say to Feng Wan: "The rice threshing machine developed by Mu Xuetang is very useful. Yuan Duwei is very grateful, but he said that these machines are OK to remove rice grains, and there may be some problems with removing wheat grains. I hope Mu Xuetang can use this winter and next spring to improve it. In addition, the water wheel is also very useful and has extremely high efficiency. Two people can carry water by stepping on water, but the wheel axle is not strong enough. I hope I can use iron parts instead..."
Yu Fan said about a dozen things in one breath. Feng Wan heard it one by one and wrote it on the paper from time to time. Cai Mao looked aside for a while and couldn't help but say, "Shi Yu, do you think this Mu Academy was opened for the military farming commander? I still have work here, so you can't take up all the time in Mu Academy."
Yu rolled his eyes and glared. "Food is the most important thing for the people, what is more important than farming?"
"Of course it's about transporting grain." Cai Mao said with a smile: "There is insufficient rice in Wujun, and there is rice in Jiaozhou. The key is how you transport it. Feng Dajiang, I have a quick job now. The sea ship carries a lot of cargo, but it's too tall, and it's difficult to transport it down. If you accidentally fall into the water. Can you design a machine that can safely and conveniently unload the rice on the sea ship, and don't be so laborious."
"Mu Academy has already been trial-making two pieces and is being debugged in the final form." Feng Wan said without raising her head: "It can be installed in two days at most. You have prepared the bonus. Recently, there are so many good things coming to Jiaozhou. The craftsmen of Mu Academy want to take advantage of the cheapest price to stock up on the New Year's goods."
"That's great." Cai Mao was overjoyed and clapped his hands. "Money is not a problem."
