Chapter 348 The transformation of Sinan! The compass of the nautical weapon!

After more than a month, Daqin officially brought autumn, and there were more fallen leaves in Xianyang City. Xiao He, who oversaw the reconstruction of Jiaozhou Bay in Jiaodong County, also embarked on the road back to Xianyang.

"Da da……"

The sound of horses’ hooves accompanied him all the way. Xiao He couldn’t help but feel a little excited when he saw the city of Xianyang in front of him. In the past four months, he finally completed His Majesty’s entrustment. Jiaozhou Bay has now undergone tremendous changes. Pass.

The woods far outside Xianyang City have turned golden yellow, and the open space outside the forest is crisscrossed. Farmers are bowing and working, occasionally standing up to wipe away sweat or turning their heads to look at the straight official road outside Xianyang City. .

"Master Xiao, do we want to go back to the manor first?"

The servant in the carriage saw that the Xianyang city gate was approaching, looked back at Xiao He, and asked politely.

Xiao He heard the words and nodded with a smile.

"Go back directly to the manor, it's getting late today, and tomorrow I'll go to Xianyang Palace to see Your Majesty."

The servant nodded, waving the long whip in his hand to make a light sound in the air, and the horse quickened its pace upon hearing the sound.

Outside the Xianyang city gate, many merchants and people came in and out. Some people came to Xianyang from afar to make a living and settle down. Some people led carriages and horses. There were also camel caravans jingling bells, which was a lively scene.

"Anyone from Daqin, please show it for inspection, biography, and people outside the customs, you need to show a paper and a signature.

At the door, Xiao He's carriage was stopped, and the servant was about to reprimand him, but Xiao He stopped him, took out the test with a smile, and passed it on.

The sergeant at the gate saw Xiao He's test and biography, and immediately understood Xiao He's identity, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao. 35

Xiao He looked at the sergeant with a smile and nodded, and then let the servant continue to enter the city. When Xiao He left, the sergeant walked back to his seat and started talking with others in surprise.

"Master Xiao didn't have a seal and a ribbon! And he only brought a servant, it's really rare! 99

The soldier next to him laughed.

"I heard that Mr. Xiao has no pretence, but now it's true when I see it."

On the second day, Xiao He came to the outside of Xianyang Palace early in the morning.

"Master Xiao.

"General Liu."

After the court, Zhao Tuo saw Xiao He at a glance, and then called out Xiao He.

"Xiao He, has the reconstruction of Jiaozhou Bay been completed?

Xiao He replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Jiaozhou Bay in Jiaodong County has been completed, and now Jiaozhou Bay has expanded more than ten times.

When the ministers in Xianyang Palace heard this, they all looked at Zhao Tuo in surprise.

Before Zhao Tuo said that Jiaozhou Bay would be remodeled, everyone knew it, but they didn't know that the Jiaozhou Bay project that His Majesty wanted to remodel was so huge that a building ship could be parked in the mouth, which was unimaginable before.

In the past, Daqin's building ships were docked in the deep sea area far from the shore, and then transported by boats, but now they can be directly boarded by land.

Zhao Tuo was very satisfied when he heard Xiao He's report.

Xiao He went to Jiaodong County to supervise the project of Jiaozhou Bay. After all, he had more than four months, and then Zhao Tuo directly rewarded Xiao He.

Now that Jiaozhou Bay has been transformed into a good port, Daqin now has its own first port that can accommodate large ships such as building ships, but a good port is not enough, although Daqin’s current voyages have been able to reach places like Kyushu Island. , but it is not enough to want to travel far.

The key to this is the identification of the direction. Today, the main method of identifying the direction of Daqin is still very primitive, looking at the sun or the lush vegetation. As for the palace, it is Sinan made of natural magnets.

Zhao Tuo naturally thought of something like a compass, and then directly exchanged the drawings in the system, and then asked someone to take Sinan's natural lodestone. After Tianji Pavilion learned of Zhao Tuo's order, he immediately sent someone to send him to Sinan.

".|| Your Majesty, this is the previously invented Sinan."

The minister of Tianji Pavilion who brought Sinan to the eunuch respectfully handed it over to the eunuch, and then presented it.

Zhao Tuo took Sinan and put the square plate aside, and then looked at the spoon-shaped natural lodestone. Then Zhao Tuo experimented with an iron tool and found that the magnetism was not small.

"You have people grinding out fine needles out of the same material.

The person from Tianji Pavilion nodded respectfully immediately after hearing the words.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After half an hour, a small magnetic needle was sent over, and then Zhao Tuo asked a craftsman to come and give him a design drawing, explaining (Nuo Wanghao) the key.

"You build one according to the drawings."

With the help of the drawings, the craftsman made the compass the next day, and then the craftsman hurried to the palace, looking a little flustered.

"Your Majesty, I obviously made it according to the blueprint, but this needle... is motionless.

Zhao Tuo laughed when he saw it. Instead of blaming the craftsman, he rewarded him.

After that, Zhao Tuo asked craftsmen to make a large number of these things, and soon a new Sinan named compass was born, and it was easy to carry and pointed very accurately.

When the compass became popular, it quickly became the new favorite of many merchants and generals in Xianyang City.
