Capital Datang

Gao Yue's words attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Although Gao Yue was the youngest among the people in the hall, he was young and quick-witted, and was loved by everyone. Even Wei Heizi respected this assistant. He was very satisfied, so as soon as his words came out, Wei Heizi asked with a look of surprise: "Meng Xia, do you really have a solution?" Meng Xia is Gao Yue's word.

After Gao Yue heard this, he laughed and said: "Dean, you misunderstood me. I'm not that capable. It's just that the patent office sent by Chang'an sent a list of recently applied patents two days ago. I read it carefully. I am very impressed with one of the patents, although the invention of that patent is not for sails, but I think it is worth a try." ",

Hearing that it was the latest patent sent by Chang'an, Wei Heizi and the others were all refreshed and confident. Since the establishment of the Patent Institute, countless talented people have applied for patents for their inventions, and their Ship Design Institute Many useful inventions were discovered from the patent institute, which allowed them to make many improvements in ship design.

"Meng Xia, hurry up and tell us the content of that patent. We've been extremely busy these days, and we haven't read the latest list yet." A middle-aged master said eagerly, and Wei Heizi and the others They also kept urging, wanting to know earlier what kind of patents can help them "" see

The list of patents sent by Chang'an not only included the name of a certain patent, but also a part of the text introduction. Gao Yue had a good memory, and quickly described the patent he saw.Capital Datang 331

Speaking of which, this invention patent is not very eye-catching. It was discovered by a student of Chang'an City Road College by accident. At that time, he extracted a water-soluble powder from an ore.After making a solution with this powder, put the cotton cloth in it and soak it.Once taken out to dry, the cloth is very difficult to re-ignite.It's just that the powder is poisonous.So the soaked cloth can no longer be worn, and after washing with clean water, the fireproof function will disappear, so this patent is not very useful in the eyes of others, and it is very likely that even Dao Academy itself has no Take it to heart.

After Gao Yue introduced the patent, he opened his mouth and said: "Although this invention was only experimented with cotton cloth, I think the key lies in the "solution". Maybe we can put the sail on the Soak it in the "solution". It should also make the sails fireproof."

After listening to Gao Yue's words, Wei Heizi and the others also nodded repeatedly. They all knew about the Taoist Academy. It was His Royal Highness Qi Wang who helped Old Immortal Yuan to build an academy. There were many strange inventions in it, such as Zhao Biejia Miss Yifan used the invention of the Dao Academy when she was developing the steam engine. She didn't expect that they would use each other's invention now.

"Meng Xia's method is good. We can first buy a batch of that powder from the Taoist Academy. Then make a solution and try it. If it is really effective, then buy the patent. If the effect is not good. That's okay, we can pass this problem to the Taoist Academy and see if they can help us find a solution?" Wei Heizi finally made a decision.The others nodded their heads again and again after hearing this, and this question can only be troubled by people like Old Immortal Yuan.

After the method is agreed upon.Naturally, there are people from the academy to do this, originally this idea was proposed by Gao Yue.It should also be done by him, but Wei Heizi has more important things to use Gao Yue, so he ordered someone else to go, and told the other party to borrow the Fei Nu Biography of Qi Wangfu to let Mr. Wang from Chang'an City Just help them discuss this matter, there is no need to send someone to Chang'an, after all, it takes too long to go back and forth.

After staying in the School of Ship Design for a while, Wei Heizi took Gao Yue and left here, but he didn't go far. Instead, he arrived at a port outside the ship city. This is a military port, and the guards of Dengzhou There are tens of thousands of sailors, and all kinds of warships are moored in the port.

Speaking of which, Dengzhou's army is divided into two types, one is the army of Datang. For example, when Goguryeo attacked Dengzhou last time, the navy and army responsible for blocking it were both Datang's army.The other is Li Yin's private soldiers, such as Lu Qing's navy, and the [-] soldiers of the slave capture team that Hu Li brought to Silla. Solve, and Datang's army belongs to two different systems.

The military port that Wei Heizi came to belonged to the Datang navy, but based on the relationship between Li Yin and the naval general Liu Ju, the Dengzhou navy had helped Li Yin a lot, both openly and secretly. Two functions, one is to defend the ship city. After all, this is the shipbuilding center of Dengzhou, which is equivalent to a heavy industry base, so there must be no mistakes. Naturally, people need to be guarded.

The other is the temporary storage place for Li Yin's newly built warships. After Lu Qing and his navy's warships are built, they will be parked in this port for trial use, and will not be sent to Lu Qing's hands until there are no problems.It is precisely because of this that this port is very important to Li Min, so he asked Liu Ju to send [-] sailors to station here.

After Wei Heizi arrived at the military port, soldiers immediately led him in. After finding the general in charge, he went to the military port to pick [-] warships, and then borrowed [-] sailors from the military port, assigned them to the warships, and set sail. The civilian port of Dengzhou stopped for a while, and then many craftsmen who had been prepared for a long time boarded the ship. There are many types of craftsmen, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, and even masons, but the most are shipbuilding craftsmen.

These people will take a boat to the newly occupied Silla and Baekje to help build a strong military port. After all, Li Yin has already occupied it, so it is natural to station troops. Building a military port is a good choice.In addition, these [-] warships were given to Lu Qing. After all, they lost a lot of ships in the Tsushima sea battle. These ships were sent to restore their strength. In addition, there are also those shipbuilding craftsmen who will build a warship in Danluo. The simple shipyard will help Lu Qing and the others build some auxiliary ships, and will also repair the damaged warships, so that the damaged warships will not be sent to Dengzhou for repairs.

However, after these craftsmen boarded the ship, another group of merchants came with their goods. They all came to take a boat with the wind to transport the goods to Silla or Baekje. Wei Heizi would not refuse these merchants. After all, Li Min originally encouraged business, plus these warships are large and empty, and they can earn extra money by helping merchants transport goods, and merchants don't have to worry about safety issues, so it can be said to be beneficial to people. Already.

But after these merchants loaded the goods onto the ship, Wei Heizi still did not let the fleet leave the port, but waited for a long time, and finally, amidst the whine of the train, the last group of people finally arrived up.

There were not many people in the last group, and there were only about twenty people in total. The leader was a middle-aged Taoist with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He was thin and ugly, and looked indescribably wretched. The few subordinates don't look like good people no matter what, they all look fierce and fierce, which makes people feel chills when they look at them.

Although the middle-aged Taoist and the others were not many people, they brought a lot of things. Except for a dozen or so people on a train, they were all pulling various goods, and when the train stopped, someone immediately came to the port. Coolies help move things.

"President Wei, do you want to go with us this time?" the middle-aged Taoist immediately greeted Wei Heizi on the port with a warm expression.

However, when Wei Heizi saw this Taoist, he felt a little unnatural, and said with a dry smile: "The strength of Dengzhou cannot be separated from me, so Wei is only here to see the fleet off this time, but Daoist Wu is here. But I don't know when I will be able to come back?"

This Daoist surnamed Wu is exactly Wu Tiande recruited by Li Yin in Chang'an. At first, Li Yin wanted to develop anatomy in order to promote the development of medicine. Unfortunately, in the mainstream society like Datang, it is absolutely unacceptable to dissect a corpse. This kind of thing, so he found Wu Tiande later, asked him to recruit some people, and sent them to Dengzhou, preparing for the opportunity to let them study anatomy overseas.

Speaking of which, Wu Tiande was indeed a man of talent. With the funds provided by Li Yin, he quickly recruited a group of people. Most of these people were born as gangsters. They worked with corpses all the year round, and they all knew some medical skills and a few words.Of course, these people’s basic foundation is indeed a bit weak, but Wu Tiande is in everything. He is a lecturer in the medical school, and his medical skills are very good. Start their great career.Capital Datang 331

Hearing that Wei Heizi would not go, Wu Tiande couldn't help showing a disappointed expression, looked at the other party and said regretfully: "That would be such a pity, last time I still owed Dean Wei thirty pennies, I thought Let's take this opportunity to see if I can win back the money I owe you, but I didn't expect you to not go."

When Wu Tiande said this, he couldn't help but shook his head regretfully, and Wei Heizi's black face became even darker.Wu Tiande is lustful and fond of gambling. Not long after he came to Dengzhou, he squandered all the money that Li Yin rewarded him, and he was not honest when he had no money. He asked people to borrow money every day. It was recruited by His Royal Highness Qi Wang, so many old people in Qi Wang's mansion lent it to him because of their sympathy. For example, Wei Heizi is a victim. Last time he lent him thirty guan, but he has not seen the other party return it until now.

Hearing Wu Tiande mention his thirty guan, the corners of Wei Heizi's mouth twitched a few times, and finally he said: "Thirty guan, it's the incense money that Wei gave Daoist Wu, and there is no need to pay it back in the future!"

It's not that Wei Heizi is generous, but he knows that after Wu Tiande goes out this time, he may come back in the Year of the Monkey, so instead of worrying about the other party paying back the money, he might as well just be generous and give it to the other party.

When Wu Tiande heard that Wei Heizi was so generous, his eyes lit up immediately, and he came up with a smile and said, "That's it, then I would like to thank Dean Wei, but think that Brother Wei is in charge of the Design Institute and the Shipping Association. You don't care about it at all, I don't think so, why don't you just lend me another seventy yuan, let's make up the whole number, how about a good relationship?" (To be continued...)
