Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

"Okay, as long as you are more courageous, it's actually not that difficult." Hong Lianshuo looked at the two of them tenderly and said.

"Okay, no one is coming, take the plank away!" Patriarch Yang ordered.

"Here I come!" Yang Fan pulled the wooden board over, "Second brother, follow us from a distance and you will be hit."

"Understood." Yang Qihang nodded with a smile and said loudly.

"Mother, ship, build a ship." Sitting next to Hong Lianshuo, Hong Wangyue suddenly looked at her with big Lingling eyes and asked.

"When will there be a boat?" Mo Sanya asked curiously.

"Travel by car on land, boat by water, sledge by mud, and chariot by mountain. This boat is too early." Lin Nanzheng said with a smile when he heard the words, "According to historical records, the earliest canoe was used to move the big tree Hollow out a section. "Huainanzi Shuoshan Xun" contains: "When you see a wooden float, you know it is a boat, and when you see a flying canopy, you know it is a car... Take it by kind." "Yi Xici" also mentioned : 'Fuxi's cut wood for a boat and put wood for a paddle.' Explains the canoe and paddle. Later, it is called a boat when it is made of multiple boards and made hollow, and it is called a raft if it is made of multiple wood or bamboo poles tied side by side."

"Bamboo raft!" Patriarch Yang said with a smile.

"Yes! It's the most common in the south." Lin Nanzheng continued with a smile, ""The Book of Songs · Shang Song · Long Hair" says: 'The land is strong, and there are cuts overseas.' It means that the Shang clan has won battles overseas. "The Book of Songs·Shang Song·Xuanniao" also said that during the period of King Wuding of the Shang Dynasty, "the country was thousands of miles away, and the Weimin stopped, and the territory was beyond the sea." It can also prove that the territory of the Shang Dynasty expanded to the sea at that time. "Erya" The "merging trees to cross" is the most vivid summary of the raft. Confucius said: "The way is not good, float on the sea on a raft." Confucius was willing to float on the sea on a raft, which means that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the coastal waterway The use has already begun, and a large number of wooden boats have appeared in different waters."

"You specialize in research!" Hong Lianshuo looked at Lin Nanzheng in surprise and said.

"Oh! You are going to go fishing, so I went to the imperial study to find relevant information." Lin Nanzheng looked directly at her and said, "But there is very little content in this area, so I went to the worker's office to look for it." I tried to find the pattern of the ship, but found nothing."

"We have searched all the drawings of Gongguan, but there are no drawings of ship construction." Hong Lianshuo said with great regret.

"Maybe it's because we are located in the north, and the new dynasty has only been established for thirty years. The emperor only knows how to have fun, so these people don't pay too much attention." Lin Nanzheng said sarcastically.

Patriarch Yang watched the two of them talking about the royal family in such a way that he didn't dare to take a breath.

Although the emperor is gone, this is too presumptuous!
"Then what should we do?" Hong Wangyue looked at them worriedly and said.

Swipe... His eyes turned to Patriarch Yang.

"This ship is different from civilian utensils. It should be built under the supervision of the government, right?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and bright black eyes.

"I can explain this." Lin Nanzheng looked at them with phoenix eyes and said, "The canoe is made of a whole section of huge tree trunk, and the size limit of the canoe depends entirely on the tree it is made of. In the Shang Dynasty, in order to overcome the restrictions brought by trees to the production of canoes, wooden boats came into being under this background. The size of the hull can be adjusted according to people's actual needs. Customization, people gained more freedom in shipbuilding. Since then, the shipbuilding industry has become more and more prosperous, with many derivatives and multiplications, forming a large and complex family of wooden sailboats."

Lin Nanzheng's phoenix eyes shook slightly and he said, "During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, there were turbulent years and constant wars. All the vassal states attached great importance to the shipping industry that can be developed overnight."

"Water transportation does carry a lot of load, stable and fast." Hong Lianshuo Meifeng lightly said, "Transporting luggage in wartime is a good choice. Of course, you must have rivers first. With the rise of vassal hegemony, ships are indispensable for surface warfare. The status of tools is even more prominent. The warship came into being, because the ship carrying the combat function and the transportation function.”

"That's why all the vassal states attach great importance to shipbuilding and use." Lin Nanzheng looked at them with deep phoenix eyes and said, "Qi State, which was founded near the sea, and Chu State, Wu State, and Yue State, which are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, all have very important differences. A well-developed shipbuilding industry." Then he said, ""Yiwenleiju" records: When the Western Zhou Dynasty became king, he offered a boat to Yue. Another example is in "Yue Jueshu", when the Yue State moved its capital to Langya, 2800 sailors were sent. People, cut down the pines and cypresses and think it's a pity!"

Lin Nanzheng turned his phoenix eyes lightly and continued, "Qin Shihuang is in the great unification war to unify the whole country. Those lands in the north with less rain, less water and more land can be conquered by the cavalry of the Great Qin Empire, while in the south, the cavalry of the empire It is difficult to fully display their own mobility and combat strength. Therefore, in order to overcome the troubles brought about by the unification of the Great Qin State in the south with many waterways, the warships have been greatly improved." After a pause, they continued. Dao said, "By the Han Dynasty, people had already mastered more shipbuilding knowledge. All kinds of sailing tools, such as: masts, sails, ropes, etc., are fully available, and all kinds of tools are also very complete." Pointing Referring to the current boat road, "It's almost like the current boat."

He sighed, "With the decline of the Han Dynasty, wars broke out everywhere, and the emperor was so poor. Those who demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall, how could they have money to build ships! These craftsmen have to eat! Don't they start to fend for themselves? It's gone." Then he looked at Patriarch Yang.

"Mr. Lin is right." Patriarch Yang raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly when he heard the words, "At that time, the master was familiar with every process, and I was surprised! Now I have explained the origin of the master."

"Grandpa Patriarch, how did you learn it?" Hong Wangyue asked, looking at Patriarch Yang with big round eyes.

Patriarch Yang looked at the exceptional tenderness in his eyes with distinct black and white eyes, and said frankly, "I learned it secretly!"

"Stealing?" Hong Wangyue stared at him incredulously and said, "Isn't the master master teaching you? Aren't you an apprentice?"

"Apprentices also depend on whether the master teaches or not!" Patriarch Yang looked at Hong Wangyue lovingly and said, "Teach apprentices, master will starve to death, master will not teach you easily."

"Mother, is that so?" Hong Wangyue raised his head slightly and blinked at her and said, "But you seem to be different, teach both."

"En! Knowledge monopoly is wealth." Hong Lianshuo looked at him tenderly and said, then turned to Patriarch Yang and said, "Then you studied very hard at that time!"
