Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 666 Trivia (3)
"Look at this and give me some advice."

Qingli copied a copy of the design drawings of ships in the open sea obtained from the little thief, and marked them all with Da Zhou's words. Lu Jin held them and looked at them for a long time. Qingli was silent and did not disturb. About half an hour passed. Only then did Lu Jin raise his head from the blueprint, his eyes glowed, "Miss, did you design this blueprint? It has its own merits!"

"So, how about we build according to this blueprint?"

Speaking of doing business, Qingli can do it, but shipbuilding requires too much professionalism, and laymen can't understand it at all. Qingli herself is half-knowledgeable. She also consulted some corresponding books for this, and also felt that the design on the blueprint It is slightly more advanced than Dazhou's current level.

"There are good points, but unfortunately there are also many flaws."

As expected of an ancestral shipbuilding craftsman, Lu Jin quickly saw some problems, "The top of this mast is a fixed girder, so it can't adapt to the sudden changes of the sea, and it can't effectively use multiple winds. It must be changed." become flexible."

"Miss, look here, the ship and the two sides and the stern. We need to set up long sculls in this place. When there is no wind, many people can sway to maintain a corresponding speed. If the fleet of the Fourth Prince is going to sail on the sea Over many months, we can reduce at least five days."

Lu Jin pointed out many defects in this drawing, but he affirmed the structure of the hard sail. This structure can improve the wind receiving efficiency and increase the speed of the ship. It should be said that it is a great pioneering work.

Qingli rubbed her brows, listening to Lu Jin talk and pointed out many shortcomings, she felt a little ashamed, as a modern person, she always admires imported products, thinking that imported products must be of good quality and more advanced than our domestic products, but in fact they are not. This kind of habit of worshiping foreigners should be resolutely resisted. Now Dazhou is not what it used to be in Daqing, and there are also wars in the outer seas. She has a little shadow in her heart and makes up her mind that if she has the opportunity, she must go to the outer seas to take a look. The items transported over there are not much different from those of Da Zhou.

"Then, I will deploy a few experienced men for you, and you will jointly study and decide, don't worry about the wood, I can provide the best nanmu."

It is said that the power of the masses is great, plus a few experienced craftsmen, everyone cooperates to complete it, there is discussion, and for the sake of rigor, experiments are needed to draw conclusions. Qingli is rich and powerful, and ships that go to sea must not cut corners. It is related to the crew. In order to save lives and goods, some fire arrows and other attack systems should be made on the ship, so that they can compete with each other in case of encountering tough pirates.

"Miss, although nanmu is expensive, it is not used much for shipbuilding. The best material is iron wood, which is hard and prevents corrosion, but it is not easy to collect in a short time. If you don't have it, you can use pine and cypress instead."

Lu Jin began to popularize shipbuilding knowledge to Qingli again. Qingli nodded after listening to it, iron wood, there are many mountains and forests in space, and those are not problems. The two discussed yesterday that a group of craftsmen would come this morning, and by the way, Lu Jin would return the carriage for her.

"Sister Xiaoyu, I'll leave the matter of the cloth shop to you. We still haven't counted the goods, and we have to deliver them all before noon. There are also tea leaves, which must be accounted for."

At the second gate, Qingli saw Shen Bingyu, because of Mi Dong's actions, her complexion was not very good, her eyes were still black and tired, probably because she was angry all night last night and didn't sleep well, but Sister Xiao Yu has never been ambiguous about her own business.

"Yeah, let's go over and have a look. I'll go back to the village later. Have you prepared all the items that the major general uses for his trip?"

Shen Bingyu kept her eyes open until dawn. She has a cold personality. She can only care more about her family, and she rarely gets angry because of one incident. Recently, I can't control my temper more and more, and I have the urge to go crazy.

"Not yet, so I have to go back to the village first."

Qingli boarded the carriage of the mansion, took Mai Dong together, and marched all the way to the farm in the outskirts of Beijing. Mai Dong didn't say a word, Qingli herself was happy, she opened the curtain for a while to see the scenery outside, and ate something for a while Heart, drink a cup of tea, then close your eyes and rest your mind, and contact the little spirit in Muyang City in the south with your mind.

In the past few days, Qingli deliberately did not ask Xiaoling about the situation in the south. She deliberately avoided it, because she knew that it would not be good. The city launched an attack. My fourth uncle has fought several times in a row. The opponent is very smart. Every time the tortoise shows its head. It may be possible to destroy the city in a short period of time, which is also a difficult task for my fourth uncle. Emperor Hongde really has a good plan to recapture Muyang within three months. Work hard?

After contacting Xiaoling this time, I learned that food and grass in the south is still a big problem. Soldiers can’t eat enough for every meal in order to save money. There are also quotas according to the number of people. Ordinary soldiers can only eat two miscellaneous grains for a meal. Small steamed buns, a bowl of stew without oil.

Most of the soldiers are in their teens and twenties, when they can eat, and fighting requires physical strength. Can they go to the battlefield hungry?This time food and grass became the primary problem to be solved. In the surrounding cities, the purchase of food has been restricted. Some unscrupulous merchants and landlords even dreamed of making a fortune. Although the army currently does not purchase food, the price of food has doubled Fan, this is not a good thing for the people.

This won't work, the soldiers must be fed, but the fourth uncle didn't let Xiaoling pass the message, he must be in a state of distress, the fourth uncle also knows his own ability, and doesn't want to embarrass her, but relying on Emperor Hongde is even more unreliable.Sometimes Qingli couldn't figure it out, why didn't Emperor Hongde allocate food and grass after knowing the situation in the south?Was it because he was preparing for the war with Daqin and didn't take the south seriously, or was he sure that someone would contribute food and grass, and couldn't bear to watch Dazhou be wiped out?If it was the latter, Emperor Hongde was simply too terrifying, and too open-minded, daring to take risks with his own territory.

"Miss, here we are."

Seeing the carriage stopped, Mai Dong lifted the curtain, and then called Qingli to close her eyes and rest her mind. It was already noon, and the outside eyes were very glaring. Help Qingli get out of the car.

"Miss, you came back just in time, hurry up to the side hall."

A woman was holding a kettle in her hand, and when she saw Qingli coming back, she hurried over to report, "Before Madam sent someone to deliver a letter to the manor, she must have strayed from you."

"OK."

At this time, the fourth aunt was looking for someone, probably something happened at home, so Qingli brought Mai Dong to the side hall.In the side hall, the atmosphere was a little silent, the family members were all there, but no one spoke, and they looked at the second sister Qing Qiang who was sitting on the side, she was holding the veil tightly with her hands, her face was pale.
