My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

March [-], Guyu, the last solar term of this spring.

Under the blue sky, the green fields are connected to the endless mountains. It is the willows in the east wind that are green, and the peach blossoms all over the mountain are red.

On the rammed earth road outside Dingjunfang, two old Taoist priests wearing scarves and white beard and hair walked slowly.

The city guards guarding the gate glanced at each other, and one of them stepped forward and warned: "Military important place, idlers should not come near."

The two old Taoist priests smiled at each other, and stepped forward unhurriedly.

The skin of the first person was slightly dark, with a short beard about a foot long under his chin, a tall and straight aquiline nose on his thin lips, long and small eyes, and a high forehead covered by a scarf. Awkward.

Behind him, another Taoist spoke first and said: "Little brother, please help me to present this thing to Mr. Shijun." He said and handed over a mask.

That's right, this mask is the one that Wei Cheng took out when he went to Haojia Village for the first time, and it is unique in this era.

And this person is not someone else, it is Zhang Zhongjing who disappeared for more than half a year!

···
"My request is very simple. I will only give you four years to manufacture these sea-going ships according to the drawings."

Wei Cheng and Tao Qian are discussing cooperation matters in the Chengbei Weisuo.

At this time, Tian Feng was directing several stewards to paste the blueprints of large ships on the wooden wall.

The drawings are divided into five types, corresponding to five types of sea ships of different shapes, and these five types of sea ships, yes, are the five types of sea ships that Zheng He sailed to the West compiled by later scholars based on historical documents.

The first type is called "treasure ship". The largest treasure ship is 44 feet 4 feet long, 18 feet wide, and has a load capacity of 800 tons.

This kind of ship can accommodate thousands of people at the same time, and it was the largest ship in the world at that time.

The second type is called "horse boat", which is 37 feet long and 15 feet wide; the third type is called "grain boat", which is 28 feet long and 12 feet wide; the fourth type is called "sitting boat", which is 24 feet long and 9 feet wide. 4 feet; the fifth type is called "warship", which is 18 feet long and 6 feet 8 feet wide.

For detailed data, interested readers can go to the Internet to check, so I won’t go into details here.

The reason why Wei Cheng took out the blueprints of these five types of sea-going ships was naturally for the consideration of the second five-year plan.

After the end of the first five-year plan, his light industry system will basically take shape, and then he will be able to go outside to see how prosperous the Great Qin Dynasty, that is, the ancient Roman Empire, was during this period.

There is also the Guishuang Empire in Central Asia, which was in its heyday, to see if ancient Babylon still exists, to see if the Egyptian pyramids are really made of gold, and to see whether the Ganges River in the Three Kingdoms is a river or not. inside.

Remember that the Mayan civilization in this period was at its peak, and you can also go to see if their extinction has anything to do with the Predator...

Tao Qian stared at the drawings pasted on the wall and was stunned.

Leaving aside other things, just the 'treasure ship', in his opinion, is not a giant that can be made by manpower.

Of course, while being amazed by the size of the treasure ships, he was even more amazed at the rigorous design of these sea ships, especially the small sampan ship named 'Battle Ship', which is simply a sharp weapon for water warfare. It can be used not only at sea, but also in Jiang, Rivers and lakes can make people feel like walking on flat ground.

"Old Huang, Miss Huang, please enter the main hall for a while."

Wei Cheng suddenly sent a message to the side hall, which caused Tao Qian's expression to change.

The hall door opens.

I saw Huang Chengyan, Huang Yueying, father and daughter coming out, holding a stack of data documents in their hands, both of them were dressed in Confucian shirts.

"Brother Gongzu, long time no see."

Huang Chengyan bowed to Tao Qian with a smile, put the things in his hands on the table beside him, and then took his daughter Huang Yueying to bow to Wei Cheng to show respect.

Seeing Huang Chengyan's actions, Tao Qian was stunned for a while, then cupped his hands, and asked in surprise and joy: "Chengyan, why are you here?"

Then, he looked back at Wei Cheng, Wei Cheng said with a smile: "Huang Lao is the vice president of my Heluo College, and these five sea ships were designed and polished with Huang Lao's help. Old Xiangzhu, Tao Gong is now confident to build a big ship?"

Tao Qian knew a little about Heluo College, and envied Wei Cheng for being able to summon so many famous Confucian scholars to work for him. Hearing this, he glanced at Huang Chengyan with a smile on his face, and replied helplessly: "That's the case, Tao is willing Give it a try."

Wei Cheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Okay, then we will make a covenant. Tao Gong will let someone come to receive the Xuanjia tomorrow. From then on, [-] sets will be made every month until the ship is completed. As for the weapons and arrows, You need normal transactions, so there is no problem."

When Tao Qian heard that Wei Cheng was so forthright, he naturally had no objection. He had 24 sets of Xuanjia every month, and [-] sets in a year. After four years, he would have a full [-] Xuanjia troops. Dare to stare at him like a tiger?

Of course, this is only one of the conditions. The biggest prerequisite for him to agree to Wei Cheng to build a sea-going ship is to let Wei Cheng send troops to help him drive away the Cao soldiers who are fleeing in Xuzhou.

The specific content of the covenant is naturally drawn up by Tian Feng and others with Tao Qian. Wei Cheng only needs to grasp the general direction. Seeing that Tao Qian agreed to the shipbuilding, he has already begun to look forward to the grand sight of going to sea.

Weifu.

Hao Zhao trotted to Dongyuan, where Wei Cheng lived, but was in vain.

Knowing that Wei Cheng is in the guard station in the north of the city, Hao Zhao hurried to the guard post, not wanting to be met by his sister who came back from shopping with Aning and Niu Niu.

Hao Niang saw that her younger brother was in a hurry, and asked concerned: "But what happened?"

Hao Zhao was about to speak when he lowered his head and saw the cute-faced Aning, and said excitedly, "A'Ning, do you know who's here?"

Aning's face was flushed, and she raised her fleshy little hand to scratch her head, "Who is it?"

Hao Zhao laughed, "You old man!"

Aning was stunned for a moment, then shouted excitedly: "Ah Weng, it's A Weng who is back!"

Even Hao Niang was very pleasantly surprised. Zhang Zhongjing had a life-saving grace for Haojia Village. If Zhang Zhongjing hadn’t made the Pulsatilla Soup, many people in Haojia Village would have died. Even Hao Zhao’s life was saved by Zhang Zhongjing. back.

Hao Zhao looked at his sister and said with a smile, "Mr. is currently in Dingjunfang. He said he wanted to see the young master, so he asked me to inform him."

Hao Niang nodded, and asked curiously: "Why did you go to Dingjunfang, wouldn't it be better for Mr. to come directly to the city?"

Hao Zhao heard the words, shook his head and responded, "I don't know why, the master told me not to make too much noise. He also brought an old Taoist priest with him. The identity of that person seems to be not simple. Brother Xu and the others all looked respectful when they saw it."

Hao Niang looked at Aning thoughtfully, raised her eyes and said to her younger brother: "Since the master ordered it specially, then you should go to the guard as soon as possible. The young master is handling official business in the guard. I don't think it will happen for a while. return."

Hao Zhao gave an 'hmm'.

Seeing that he was leaving, Ah Ning hurried forward and hugged Hao Zhao's thigh, "I'm going too, Ah Ning is going to see Ah Weng." The little girl had tears in her eyes, and she must have missed Zhang Zhongjing very much.

Seeing this, Hao Zhao was a little embarrassed, so he could only look back at his sister.

Hao Niang held Ah Ning back and comforted her, "Good boy, Ah Ning, you smell of sweat after playing around all day, I will take you to take a bath and change clothes first, and then we will go to see Ah Weng after we have washed our incense. Seeing a clean and beautiful Aning, okay?"

"No, no, I'm going to see Ah Weng now, I'm going now..."

The little girl couldn't listen to persuasion anymore. Since Zhang Zhongjing left, she had been thinking day and night, if it wasn't for Niu Niu playing with her every day, she might have been depressed. In her heart, Zhang Zhongjing's position is irreplaceable.

Hao Niang and Hao Zhao were in a dilemma when Wei Cheng walked in with Dian Wei outside the gate.

"Is this girl acting coquettishly with you again?" Wei Cheng said with a smile.

When Hao Zhao saw Wei Cheng, he hurriedly clasped his fists in a salute, and said, "My lord, Mr. Zhang is back!"

Aning also ran over, hugged Wei Cheng's thigh, and cried, "Brother Wei, Aning is going to see Ah Weng, Aning misses Ah Weng."

Wei Cheng was startled for a moment, then said happily, "Is the teacher back?"

Wei Cheng and Zhang Zhongjing are also teachers and friends. The teacher’s words are more or less "recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan". When it comes to the understanding of Chinese medicine, the two are still not sure who is better than the other. They can only say that each has its own strengths. .

Hao Zhaoying said: "Yes, sir specially asked me to inform the young master, he only said that the news of his coming to Hedong County should not be publicized, and asked the young master to keep it secret for him."

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, remembering the conversation before Zhang Zhongjing left, looked down at Aning who was hugging him and whining, nodded and said: "Alright, you go and settle down with the teacher first, I will be there later .”

Hao Zhao clasped his fists in a salute, and left in a hurry.

Wei Cheng hugged Aning, comforted her first, and then said to Hao Niang: "You heard it too, the teacher doesn't want to say anything, so the people in the village don't want to know, so as not to cause more trouble."

Hao Niang was a sensible person, she nodded slightly, and said with concern: "I don't know if Mr. has encountered any trouble."

Wei Cheng rubbed Aning's head, smiled and comforted Hao Niang: "You don't have to worry about this much, if you really run into trouble, I'm still here, I'm afraid there is no problem in this world that I can't solve."

Hao Niang smiled when she heard the words, and she was really not so worried. She nodded and looked at Wei Cheng with tender eyes to comfort Aning.

Dingjunfang.

Because the new army was about to go north to Shuofang, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei and others basically lived in the workshop to handle official duties these days.

Even Xu Shu, Sima Yi, Cai Heng and others did not dare to neglect in the slightest, and they studied and exercised with their seniors almost day and night.

However, because of Zhang Zhongjing's arrival today, Dingjunfang seemed much quieter.

Everyone sat around a corner of the square, drinking wine, grilling meat, chatting and laughing about their experiences.

Zhang Zhongjing has traveled all over the country, and has also been to Shuofang and further north. Some personal experiences are not comparable to young people.

But compared with the old Taoist priest he brought, Zhang Zhongjing's eloquence is much worse.

"Speaking of the Huren Beidi, the old Taoist can only share so much. In fact, the Huren are not terrible. The [-] Xiongnu cavalry were defeated by the three thousand light cavalry of the champion. It’s because I don’t have any courage at all, so I turned my back in an instant, haha.”

The champion Hou mentioned by the old Taoist is none other than Wei Cheng's ancestor, Huo Qubing who was sealed as a wolf.

The glory of Wei's family, in addition to the contributions of Wei Zifu and Wei Qing's siblings, is also indispensable to the contribution of Huo Qubing, Wei's nephew.

Speaking of the champion Hou Huo Qubing, several of Wei's children immediately cheered up. Although it happened more than 300 years ago, and there are related records in the family, hearing it mentioned by outsiders makes them even more proud.

The old Taoist looked at some of Wei's children, and said with a smile: "There should be another family of Wei's in Zhongshan, but I don't know if you have any contact. If we really want to talk about it, both of you are descendants of General Wei Qing."

"This, I have never heard the elders in the family mention it." Wei Ting replied with a frown.

Hearing the words, the old Taoist said teasingly: "It seems that the old Taoist is talking too much. This family is like this. After five clothes, they basically don't kiss. If Zhongshan Wei knows your current achievements, I'm afraid I will be envious to death. Hahaha."

Wei Ting and the others looked at each other, "I don't know how to say this?"

The old Taoist picked up the wine glass on the side, drank it down, then let out a mouthful of alcohol, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, your Hedong Wei family is full of beautiful men, and the Zhongshan Wei family is full of beautiful women." , there were two prostitutes who entered the palace as concubines back then."

"It's just a pity that although the Wei family of Zhongshan has been rich for decades because of this, because of Wang Mang's decline, in less than a dozen years, they have gone from being a well-known wealthy family to the point where no one cares about them today."

"Your Hedong Wei family is just the opposite. Although the process of transitioning from a family of martial arts to a family of officials and eunuchs is difficult, the efforts of several generations are worth it after all. This generation even has a unicorn, and the old Taoist admires it very much. .”

After the old Taoist finished speaking, he poured himself another glass of wine, looked at the gate in the distance, and a look of expectation flashed in his long and small eyes.

Next to him, Chengtou raised his glass with Zhang Zhongjing and asked, "Where did you go, sir, for more than half a year, and you didn't send anyone a letter. People in the village are very worried about you."

Zhang Zhongjing took a sip of the wine, savored the taste slowly, sighed lightly when he heard the words, and said: "I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye. If I had known that the young master could achieve what I am today, I wouldn't have done so much." Useless planning."

Chengtou picked up the jug, filled him with wine, and said curiously: "I heard what you mean, sir, did you encounter some unsolvable troubles outside?"

Zhang Zhongjing nodded, looked at the old Taoist priest who had a good chat with Wei Ting and others, and said with a twisted beard: "It's really troublesome. I thought I could deal with it alone, but now it seems that I can only ask for help from the young master, but I don't know. Will it mess up your plans?"

Zhang Zhongjing was referring to the matter of going north to Shuofang.

Seeing his hesitation, Chengtou shook his head hastily and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, Shuofang will only use the new army, the [-] city guards in Hedong and the [-] Longshan army are enough to deal with all the difficulties in the world. "

Zhang Zhongjing's creased eyes were shining brightly, and he said with a smile: "If so, then of course it is the best."

Said Tou originally wanted to reveal some other secrets to increase Zhang Zhongjing's confidence, but remembering Wei Cheng's trust in him, in the end he didn't mention the firearms, but signaled Zhang Zhongjing to be at ease.

At this moment, two rickshaws slowly stopped at the gate of Dingjunfang.

Wei Cheng took Aning's little hand and got off the car. This scene happened to be seen by the long-awaited Zhang Zhongjing.

"A Ning!"

"Aon!"

"Zhang Xiu pays homage to Saintess Wan An!"

Everyone: "..."
