Feng Heming

Chapter 304
Even with stubble all over his face, Huo Jingshan's face could still see joy, and no one could ignore his joy.

Huo Jingshan didn't suppress his emotions, "Yes, it finally succeeded. My grandparents' imagination is right."

The tone is both emotional and joyful.

The expectations of generations, the dreams of decades, are finally realized today, how can Huo Jingshan be unhappy?

"Mr. Huo, what do you want to do next?"

Qingyue's voice brought Huo Jingshan back to his senses, and this question stopped him.

A rare blank look appeared on his face.

Since he was born, he has shouldered the wishes of his ancestors and inherited the expectations of his grandfather and father. He just wanted to build a big ship that can sail on the sea and at least have the hope of surviving in a big storm. Now the ship is built So what is he going to do next?
Jiang Yuanxi smiled slightly, "Is Mr. Huo only satisfied with this?"

Huo Jingshan looked at Jiang Yuanxi blankly.

"I looked at this big ship. It should be that the outer shell covering the hull is made of stone mud, and the rest are all wood. Mr. Huo, if this big ship is sailing at sea, it will encounter foggy weather. , accidentally bumped into a rock, what do you think will happen to this big ship?"

"If the reef is too sharp, too thick, or the speed of sailing is too fast, the boat will be pierced." Huo Jingshan didn't think about it.

"What Mr. Huo said is that in this way, this ship is actually only suitable for sailing near the sea, and going to the deep sea may not be able to protect itself." Jiang Yuanxi nodded seriously.

Huo Jingshan twitched the corners of his lips. He really wanted to say that there is no boat that can protect itself in the deep sea. Who knows what is in the sea.

But for some reason, he couldn't say those words. He thought of his flat boat made entirely of rocks and mud. If a big boat was made of rocks and mud, even if it hit a rock, the hull might not be pierced, right?
It's not that he never thought of building a big boat out of rock and mud, but he was afraid that this idea would not work. The reason why flat boats can sail on the water is because they are small and there is not much rock and mud. Won't it sink?

He was afraid that it would sink into the water, so he chose to wrap the outside of the wooden boat frame with rock mud.

But what the county magistrate said is right, if a stone hits a wood, of course it is the wood that suffers, but what if the stone hits a stone?
Thinking about it this way, Huo Jingshan became interested again, and thought, why not build a big boat full of rocks and mud and try it out?

If it sinks, it means it won't work. Continue to use the method of wrapping the wooden ship frame with stone mud to build a big ship. If it works.
Huo Jingshan suddenly understood what he wanted to do. He wanted to follow the path of his ancestors. It turned out that they still tried to build boats after the Huo family fell into ruin. Big boat, enjoy the customs of the sea.

After he figured it out, he looked at Jiang Yuanxi, who was smiling, and a complex look flashed in his eyes, he clenched his fists tightly, and always exhaled, "My lord, can I take a step to speak?"

Jiang Yuanxi raised his eyes slightly, "Of course."

He took him to a place where no one was around, waited away from the others, and made sure that others could not hear the conversation between them, Huo Jingshan stopped in his tracks.

He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Jiang Yuanxi, "My lord, this is what you want."

Jiang Yuanxi felt something in his heart, took a look, and thanked earnestly, "Thank you for your generosity, sir."

What is written on this paper is the prescription of stone mud, and the proportion of the respective blends of volcanic ash and lime.

It was such a seemingly simple prescription that took the Huo family more than ten years.

Huo Jingshan shook his head, "This thing is more useful in the hands of adults."

He has always been a smart person, otherwise he would not have made rock mud. When Jiang Yuanxi came to the door and knew of the existence of rock mud, he responded to his requests all the time, so he vaguely understood her intentions.

Huo Jingshan knew her plan, so he still cooperated with her. First, he really couldn't refuse Jiang Yuanxi's help. He asked people to give, and he asked for things to give. He also helped him find many craftsmen, otherwise he wouldn't have three It took a month to build a big ship.

This nearly three months is not only the time for him to use Jiang Yuanxi's power to realize his dream, but also the day for him to inspect Jiang Yuanxi.

He knew what the stone mud meant, and he was guilty of the jade. At that time, he didn't understand why he would expose the existence of the stone mud in front of Jiang Yuanxi. It might be that her eyes were too transparent, and he exposed it just by meeting him.

But he would not give the stone mud recipe to Jiang Yuanxi so easily, he had to know Jiang Yuanxi's character to hand over the recipe.

In the past three months, except for him, everyone in the dock was Jiang Yuanxi's people. At first he asked for a room, and only he could hold the key. Jiang Boyong, who was sent to help him, agreed, saying that he wanted volcanic ash and lime. , Jiang Boyong also sent it to him, but he never explored how he mixed the rock mud.

Huo Jingshan thought that after Jiang Boyong knew that the rock mud was blended with volcanic ash and lime, he would secretly ask someone to try to blend it, but according to his observations, he did not, and he also did not send anyone to spy on his blending behavior.

Every time he mixed the rock and mud in the house, these craftsmen would obey his instructions without saying a word, and after loading the rock and mud, they would go to build the ship without asking a word or being too curious.

Today, he finally made up his mind to hand over Fang Zi.

"My lord doesn't ask me why I handed the recipe to you?" Huo Jingshan couldn't help asking.

Jiang Yuanxi is as good as others, "Then why did Mr. Huo give the prescription to me?"

Huo Jingshan choked, quite speechless, "Because my lord didn't let go of the grind and kill the donkey."

What he felt most at ease in the shipyard was that he, like other craftsmen, was an ordinary person who wanted to build a ship, not a rich man with treasures for others to covet.

Jiang Yuanxi smiled, "Mr. Huo worried too early, why don't you think about it, you don't have anything, how can you do such a stupid thing as killing a donkey?"

She raised the prescription in her hand.

Huo Jingshan took a step back in fright, this reaction made Jiang Yuanxi laugh, and he didn't dare to scare him again, "Don't worry, Mr. Huo, I was just joking."

Huo Jingshan twitched the corner of his mouth, "This joke is not funny at all."

Jiang Yuanxi still had business to do, so he asked Huo Jingshan for his opinion, "Mr. Huo, I am very happy about your big ship just now, and I want to continue building nine more, I don't know."

Huo Jingshan waved his hand, "Since all the recipes are given to you, of course I can also give you the blueprints for building big ships. As long as there are enough people, you can build as many as you want."

Jiang Yuanxi thanked again: "Thank you, Mr. Huo."

Jiang Yuanxi decided to build a fleet later. Who made her too ambitious, besides infantry and cavalry, she also wanted a navy.

　In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were navy divisions.
