Chapter 40: trivia

"This ancestor Huang is also deceiving people!" Out of the Xiling Office, Liu Sandao was somewhat indignant. The three of them came here to visit, even the door was not allowed to enter.
"The goal can be achieved." Liu Yi wasn't too concerned about this. Is it not normal for people to look down on the situation when the status gap is very different, at least Zhuge Liang's letter did not fall on the ground, Huang Zu gave Where he built the walled city together, this is already pretty good.
He has passed the age of S.2 and has encountered ash, so he pays more attention to real profits when looking at problems. At least people help you. If someone really slows you down, he will have to take revenge in the future. The road will only go further. Narrow, and even nowhere to go in the end.
Liu Sandao was obviously used to the gangsters, and he murmured indignantly, and Liu Yi ignored him. When he came, he had inquired about the largest timber dealer in Xiling County. He spent 20,000 yuan on it. A few hard-to-find timbers, but waiting for the goods to arrive, I am afraid it will be tomorrow. The shop of the others is opened in the city, but the hoarded timber is outside the city. Liu Yi now has to consider how to transport these timbers back. Your own wooden car can't pull so much wood.
The city of Xiling is somewhat depressed. The reason is that Jiang Dong seems to have changed again recently. This was a normal thing. Sun Jian died under Huang Zu's hand. Sun Quan wanted to avenge his father. This reason is enough for Sun Quan to send troops anytime and anywhere. Solicitation of Jiang Xia, of course, in Liu Yi's view, this is only one of the reasons. The most important thing is that I still aimed at the fertile soil of Jingzhou.
Private enmity and competition for interests, this Jiangxia is naturally the best springboard for Jiangdong to open the gateway to Jingzhou.
"Oh, where is Lingling?" Liu Yi asked a relatively small question. Not to mention the map of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it is a modern map. You want him to make clear the location of all provinces. It is also impossible, not to mention now, Zhuge Liang only marked some cities from Xinye to Jiangxia on his map, and others were not marked, so Liu Yi could only ask shamelessly.
The place that Huang Zu gave Liu Yi was in a wasteland north of Tianmen Mountain in Jingling. There were no villages but towns during the period of the late Han and the Three Kingdoms period. In addition, some clans also established Zhuangzi as before. The village where Deng Ai and her mother and son are located is average, but that is not formal. Now Liu Yi established Zhuangzi, and Huang Zu directly gave Liu Yi a treatment for the three elders, that is to say, the city he built was in the court There is a registered official Zhuangzi, which belongs to the formal kind.
Dengzhuang, where the Deng family clan gathers, has a similar situation. It still pays taxes to counties and counties every year. If the government recruits troops, it will also leave.
Of course, there is a natural reward for what you pay. First of all, it is a city recognized by the government. It is sheltered by the government. If it is harassed by thieves, it can also ask the government to take shelter.
However, in this era of vassal warfare, many Zhuangzi, although nominally belonging to the government, did not buy it, and taxation was only to deal with things on the countertop.
"Jingling?" Liu Sandao looked at Liu Yi blankly. He is a Guanzhong person. Although he has been to many places, he is familiar with Jingzhou, but he only knows the area of ​​Nanyang. There are maps. On the map, the ghost knows where Jingling is?
"Go and ask Deng's sister-in-law." Liu Yi looked at each other's face and shook her head helplessly. Mother Deng was a native, and she seemed to have received some education. She should be able to point herself in a direction. In the past, this was the normal way to walk this year. After all, the map can only indicate a general direction.
Deng Ai and her son were placed in the wine house, but did not follow. Now that the matter has been completed, Liu Yi took the two to the wine house.
"Mr. Liu." Seeing Liu Yi's three people come back, Deng mother smiled and stood up to meet.
This is probably the so-called celebrity effect. Before Zhuge Liang recommended it, Liu Yi was only regarded as a good neighbor. Some craftsmen's neighbors were recommended by Zhuge Liang this time, but even the title changed.
"Sister-in-law knows where the Lingling is?" Liu Yi reached out and asked with a smile.
"East of Huarong is." Mother Deng nodded and said, "If you want to go to Jingling, you can take the waterway. Jingling connects Dajiang, Hanshui, and Xiashui. It is quite convenient to take the waterway. , You can arrive in half a month, and it ’s not easy to get lost. "
"Waterway?" Liu Yi repeated it and nodded silently: "Okay, let's take the waterway."
"But we don't have a boat!" Liu Sandao stunned.
"Don't forget who I am." Liu Yi patted Liu Sandao and said: "Let your brother go to merge with the owner, let him go to Jingling first, south of Tianmen Mountain, and cut more wood, But before I arrive, I only need to polish the trunk and never build it first ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I will do everything after I arrive. "
This is his biggest single job since he traversed it. Once completed, the harvest is inestimable, and naturally no one is allowed to destroy it.
"Okay." Liu Sandao didn't say much, and immediately promised another fierce gangster who was traveling with him to find Lu Lingqi.
"Let me go in the carriage." Liu Yi smiled at the gangster.
"He drove the carriage, how do I wait?" Liu Sandao wondered.
"Take a boat, let's go." Liu Yi said goodbye to Deng's mother and son. After meeting for three days and meeting by the river, he took Liu Sandao straight out of the city. Although there was not much wood to buy this time, it was also a small boat It's difficult to carry, and it's natural to need some ships for how to make a living in the future.
However, there were a lot of things delivered this time, and Liu Yi was going to make a mother-child ship.
The mother-child boat is a simple slab ship manufacturing method used by the Mohists. It is specially used to transport goods. The two ships are connected to each other, but from the outside, it seems that the two ships overlap, and the big ship partially covers the boat. The mother ship Responsible for carrying cargo, but the sub-ship has an organ, similar to the pedal wheel of a bicycle. In addition, it can also use a part of the power of the water to use the gear to reverse the power of the water, making the ship even in the case of countercurrent , Will not be subject to too much resistance to water flow.
Although it is only the simplest application of Mojia's organ surgery, in Liu Yi's view, this application of mechanics has reached its peak. It is difficult to imagine that in the pre-Qin period, there was already such a perfect mechanical system, but unfortunately there was no way to pass it. Down.
The invention of the steam engine may require an opportunity, but if this kind of application of mechanics can continue to be passed down and continuously improved, Huaxia may be able to lead the world for more than a thousand years in this regard.
