Datang Longya

Chapter 214
However, in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the middle period, there were not many conditions for the development of shipping.

First of all, the navigation technology is not developed enough!
As mentioned earlier, the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty was really not very good, and "Marine Merchant" has become a noun with the same meaning as "surviving a catastrophe".

The second is the general environment of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business".

At the beginning of each dynasty, the emperor would emphasize agriculture and suppress business, just to avoid the situation of "everyone is a businessman", and the profit from business is extremely high. The thing "money" has an indescribable allure to ordinary people.

But if everyone goes into business, who will farm the land?Who is in the army?

Because of this, under the catalysis of public opinion in the past dynasties, the profession of "businessman" has become a profession of "humiliating the ancestors".

Maritime merchants are also businessmen, so if you want to develop shipping, you need the support of maritime merchants, and you need someone to be a maritime merchant.

But who would risk public opinion and the risk that future generations will not be allowed to be officials or wear silk and satin to become a maritime merchant?

Seeing that Leng Feng was bowing his head in deep thought, Feng An waved his hand to make all the maids back down, waiting for Leng Feng to finish thinking.

"The development of Lingnan must be combined with shipping. However, the current ship will capsize before it can travel very far." After pondering for a long time, Leng Feng said this sentence.

Feng An nodded: "Then what should we do?"

Leng Feng scratched his head: "This is another deadlock. In my opinion, only when shipbuilding technology develops can we promote the development of shipping. This requires a lot of time to accumulate, and it is not something you can worry about alone. Lingnan is really The day when the bustling began..."

Leng Feng pointed at Feng Zhidai: "It is estimated that only he can see it."

Feng An sighed, and asked Leng Feng with the last ray of hope: "You know gunpowder weapons, medicine, and many principles of heaven and earth, don't you also know how to build ships?"

Leng Feng sneered directly, he is a killer, but not a shipyard, how could he know how to build a ship, especially a sea-going ship?

He was able to pretend to be very powerful by relying on some of the knowledge left in his mind, which was already pretty good. After stripping away that knowledge, he was just an ordinary person just like the old farmer pulling weeds in the field.

"You're thinking too much, I'm not an omniscient God, but if a steam engine can be built, it can indeed..."

With the "steam boat" pancake painted by Leng Feng, Feng An felt a little relieved, and told Leng Feng to continue eating crabs.

It wasn't until the welcome banquet was over that Leng Feng went back to the guest room in the dark, and Feng Zhidai asked Feng An: "Father, does Duke Xi not know how to build a ship, or is he deliberately refusing?"

Feng An sighed: "He probably really doesn't know how to build a ship. Weifu has been in contact with him for so long, and he can even see the imperial "artifact" such as gunpowder weapons, which shows that he is defenseless against Weifu. "

Only then did Feng Zhidai realize that he was saving the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Feng An pressed his itchy right hand, and suddenly said to Feng Zhidai: "Go and call your fourth brother, and leave the family affairs in his hands from now on!"

Feng Zhidai was taken aback. No matter how he heard this, it seemed that his father wanted to "abolish the prince". He couldn't help hesitating for a moment: "Father?"

Feng An didn't pay attention to his son's expression, and said while rubbing his right hand to relieve the itching, "There is a Tianxia Academy by the Weishui River. In addition to teaching people to read and count, it will also teach the knowledge of Duke Xun in the future.

When my father was in Chang'an, he only briefly read the handwritten books of Duke Guo. Those few most basic books seemed to see a golden mountain of knowledge blocked in front of him. The steam engine he just mentioned should be one of these knowledge. A sort of.

Although you are married, you are the most intelligent among your brothers.When Duke Xing returns to Chang'an, you can follow him and study in the Academy of Arts!Our ancestors worked hard to create such a large family business in Lingnan, and we can't just rest on our laurels.Being a father is already old, so you need to learn! "

After hearing what his father said, Feng Zhidai was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and said firmly, "Father, don't worry, if the child can't learn well, he will never return to Lingnan without face!"

---Dividing line---

Back in the guest room, Liu Shuwen handed him a cool towel. Liu Shuwen is like this, she knows what Leng Feng needs, Lingnan is very hot, and it is more comfortable to wipe his face with a cool towel than a warm towel.

Leng Feng took Liu Shuwen's hand: "You are pregnant with a child, so don't do these things yourself, you should take a good rest anyway."

Liu Shuwen smiled and said: "The maids sent by Mrs. Feng are clumsy, and they can do some rough work. It's better for me to serve you."

Hearing Liu Shuwen's high-sounding words, Leng Feng laughed inwardly. It's not that those maids are clumsy, it's clear that this little woman is jealous.

Before in Chang'an, Liu Shuwen personally took care of Leng Feng's daily life, and the maids who were married by the queen, even Rou Ji, the same room maid, could only sweep the floor.

Now in Lingnan, the maid Feng An arranged for him can be said to be the most beautiful, making Li Erniu and the others drool, which will naturally arouse Liu Shuwen's vigilance.

In this dynasty, being a man is a great enjoyment!With the help of Liu Shuwen, he took off his clothes, and Leng Feng got into the bed directly: "I won't wash my feet today, so come and go to bed early."

Liu Shuwen originally wanted to fetch water, but when she heard what Leng Feng said, she blew out the candles, took off her clothes with a rustle, and got into bed.

Feeling the big warm hand on her stomach, Liu Shuwen couldn't help but grab it with both hands, and said softly to Leng Feng: "I'm pregnant with a child, don't mess around, if you really want to... just find A beautiful concubine, I really can't do it."

Just kidding, how dare Leng Feng act recklessly at this time!As for finding a concubine...

"Don't make trouble, I told you that I will live with you in this life, a year of abstinence is good for your health!"

Liu Shuwen curled her lips in the dark: "I'm not Mrs. Fang, I don't know how to be jealous."

"Fart, I smell vinegar right now." Leng Feng touched Liu Shuwen's nose with his other hand, and twisted it gently.

Only then did Liu Shuwen press Leng Feng's hand on her lower abdomen again.

Feeling Liu Shuwen's body temperature, Leng Feng said softly, "I should thank you."

"(òó)!" Liu Shuwen turned her head and looked at Leng Feng through Xi Wei's starlight, she didn't know why Leng Feng would say such a sentence suddenly.

"The appearance of this little guy made me find the feeling of being truly alive in Datang."

Liu Shuwen patted Leng Feng's arm: "What nonsense are you talking about! Go to bed quickly. By the way..."

Liu Shuwen suddenly said in a coquettish tone: "There is no war now, you can go to the river with me tomorrow to play, the Tu girls here sing very well."
