Chapter 211 The mysterious treasure of the fairy family

What was waiting for him was Ye Chang's rejection. At this moment, someone suddenly rushed over and saw Ye Chang from afar and bowed: "Ye Langjun, I was ordered to spread the news that Li Yong has died in prison."

As soon as the news came out, Li Bai's expression froze, while Du Fu's eyes turned cold. He sighed, "Since that's the case..."

After saying that, he pulled out his sword, swung it on his sleeve, and a sleeve fell down. Then Du Fu turned around and left, sang sadly: "The long roar in the universe, the talented people will replace him day by day. The ancients cannot see him, who will succeed him? I remember that Li Gongcun had a foundation in the past, and the poetic forest had a foundation. The sound should be strong and the pen is sprinkled and the rich and clear system..."

"Shiyilang, I'll go chase Zimei and try my best to persuade you."

Li Bai had no choice but to be helpless at this time. Even though he was free and wise, both sides were friends and could not favor one or the other. Moreover, Ye Chang was only happy in Li Yong's death, but Du Fu was heartbroken. After all, among the famous scholars today, Li Yong was the only one who truly treated Du Fu with kindness.

It was the scholar who died for his confidant that Du Fu did not speak out to scold Ye Chang, but just broke off his friendship with him. He was already well-educated.

Ye Chang nodded, feeling quite sad.

In this life, there was already a bad relationship with Wang Wei. If there was another bad relationship with Du Fu, it would be really regrettable.

Looking back and looking at the subordinates, Ye Chang sighed and said loudly: "Everything is done, let's go tomorrow, and I'll go to Dengzhou."

Dengzhou has been a good harbor since ancient times. At this time, it was the weather when plum blossoms were yellow. The sea breeze was blowing and the sky was clear, making people open their hearts and some depressions dissipated. After only three days in Dengzhou, Ye Chang ordered the voyage.

Su Ku Le couldn't wait to see Ye Chang's order.

"This ship is not difficult to operate. It has been practiced for a month. Although I dare not go to sea at full speed, I can go out to sea long ago. Good water workers are all driven by wind and waves, but they are not something that can be done by fighting in the calm water."

He said this when Ye Chang asked for his opinion.

Because of the ocean currents, Ye Chang's fleet did not go outside the Bohai mouth, but chose the waterway within the Bohai Sea, that is, west of the Miaodao Islands in the later years. The Bohai Rim current rotates counterclockwise, and comes here to support it by the terrain and begins to turn north. With the help of the monsoon from the southeast, their ship speed can be faster.

"It would be great if there was an accurate timer... Zhang Xiu had been studying for two years, but he could not completely solve this problem." Ye Chang was a little regretful.

On the boat, someone threw a rope tied with driftwood into the sea. There were stones under the driftwood to fix it. He also held an hourglass in his hand, and judged the time based on the leakage of the hourglass, and then judged the speed based on the distance between the driftwood and the ship. After repeated struggles, someone shouted: "Langjun, fourteen miles per hour

Fourteen miles per hour, about three and a half kilometers per hour. This speed is actually very slow, but now there is no Zhang Fan, and he almost relies entirely on the push of ocean currents. Ye Chang is very satisfied with the ability to achieve this speed.

He held a wooden box in his hand and came out of the cabin, while Su Ku Le followed behind him.

"Langjun, can you really be positioned in the sea?" Su thick-legged followed Ye Chang, his expression as if he was just trying to please his master: "Langjun, what is the reason for this?"

"During the sun during the day and the stars at night, don't you always boast that you are in the sea as if you are in the courtyard? Why are you so interested in this compass?" Ye Chang said with a smile.

The compass was used to determine the direction of the sea ship, which was a pioneering move at this time. Su Kuo Legs looked at the small device in Ye Chang's hand in awe, and felt that only the gods in the sky could come up with such a method.

In order to create a compass suitable for navigation, Ye Chang racked his brains. Whether it was the floating method or the hanging needle method, it was actually not accurate enough when the ship was pushed and swayed by wind and waves. To solve this problem, Ye Chang also hired the best jeweler.

This is where the exquisite wooden box in his hand is.

"Look clearly, the north pointed to by the needle tip is still somewhat different from the real north, and it is actually eastward." Ye Chang showed Su Ku Le's compass: "Although it is only a little eastward, a little bit above the vast sea may be thousands of miles away from the target."

"Mr. said yes"

"Fortunately, now you are just asking you to familiarize yourself with these equipment, mainly our own water workers." Ye Chang whispered: "They learned measurement and drawing with me at home. You can remember to keep the charts they have drawn. You have to keep three copies of each chart, one on the boat, one in the captain's hand, and another for me."

Su Kuala understood that this was an explanation for the future. Ye Chang trusted him very much. After seeing his ability to sail on the sea, he was ready to hand over all the parts on the ship to him.

Of course, for the purpose of checks and balances, one or two people will be sent to share Su Ku Le's power, but that will happen after the power grows.

The two of them said, climbing upwards and climbing directly onto the lookout on the foremast of the ship along the rope ladder knotted by the cables.

"Now, it's time for me to appear..." Ye Chang said to himself, put away the compass, and then raised another thing.

Monoculars.

Since he bought the crystal ball in Chang'an City that time, Ye Chang has never forgotten another great use that crystal can come in. Before he made glass, crystal was the best material for grinding telescopes. Even after burning the glass, even after a long time, crystals were probably better than pure and transparent glass.

Holding up the telescope and looking southeastward, there is clear land there, which should be Daxie Island.

In fact, you don’t need a telescope. When the weather is good, you can also see the outline of Daxie Island, but it is difficult to see it any further away. Ye Chang turned the angle of the telescope a little northerly and vaguely saw the gray shadow. It was Turtle Island, which was further north than Daxie Island.

"Did you really see Turtle Island?" When he heard Ye Chang's speech, Su Maole was a little unbelievable: "That's not Da Xie Island, it's enough to have a hundred miles."

He has not been idle these days, and he asked about the Bohai waterway from the recruited water workers, and was also familiar with the sea route from Dengzhou to Liaodong.

At this time, the navigation industry was still extremely backward. The shortest distance from Dengzhou to Liaodong was only 100 kilometers in the later generations. For hydraulic workers, they had to take risks. Because familiar with the waterways became the top priority of hydraulic workers and was related to everyone's lives.

"What do I lie to you? You can see it yourself." Ye Chang said with a smile.

Of course, this place is not a hundred miles away from Gui Island. Ye Chang is probably only dozens of miles at most. Su Ku Le took the monocular telescope and looked northeastern like Ye Chang. Then, his hands trembled, and the telescope almost fell down.

"Be careful, this thing costs me hundreds of coins - money is a small matter, but if it breaks it, there will be no second one."

Before he could say anything, Su Ku Le consciously held the telescope with both hands, first looking northeast, then southeast, and finally looking south: "Oh my God, Oh my God, this must be the magic weapon of the immortals. I can even see Dengzhou... How is this possible, Oh my God?"

Just now, the compass had already shocked Su Ku Le, and he followed Ye Chang with a slut. Now that he looked at the telescope, he was even more shocked. After turning around for six or seven times, he put down the telescope and looked at Ye Chang, saliva was almost dripping.

He was born at sea, so he realized how effective it would be for sailing such an instrument that can improve people's vision several times or even dozens of times.

"Seleven Lang...Ye Langjun..."

"I'll give this to you." Ye Chang said calmly.

Su Kuo Legs were ecstatic, and immediately knelt down on the stairs and bowed: "Mr.... lord, Su is convinced, I wish to be a servant, and I will never be dissatisfied."

Ye Chang spent a lot of effort to accept this guy, but he didn't surrender. He was willing to serve Ye Chang because Ye Chang expressed his respect for him in Luoyang the last time. But now, a telescope convinced him and even wanted to act as a servant for Ye Chang.

"Get up... This telescope is so important to you?"

"For the watercraft on board, the telescope, compass, and this strong ship have countless lives." Su Ku Le stood up and said, "The lord has such a treasure of immortals, no wonder he dares to ask for immortal mountains overseas."

He was indeed shocked. When he first learned that Ye Chang was going to visit the overseas fairy mountain, he only thought that this was a young man's fantasy idea. But with these three "treasures", he felt that visiting the fairy mountain might not be impossible.

"Haha, it's easy to do, and there will be more good things." Ye Chang laughed: "Big and stronger boats, telescopes that run faster and see farther, can accurately determine our location... These will all be there."

At this time, Su Ku Le believed whatever he said, so he kept nodding.

"Lord, such a treasure...uh"

Su Ku Le was about to speak when he saw Ye Chang take out another monocular telescope from the small wooden box he was carrying, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

He thought there was only one such treasure, but he never thought Ye Chang would take out another one casually.

In fact, telescopes are just difficult to polish. As long as there are lenses, it is not difficult to manufacture. Ye Chang started preparing for the market competition two years ago, and now it has been almost two years. Naturally, he is not only preparing to produce one pair. The lenses in his hand are enough to make six pairs of telescopes, but for the purpose of temporary technical protection, he only took out two.

"There is actually still?"

"how?"

"There is a second pair of this treasure?"

"Ah, that's natural. Didn't I say that you can do it well and there will be better in the future."

Su Ku Le felt his head buzzing, and he couldn't turn around for a while. After a while, he calmed down, looked down carefully, and then lowered his voice: "Lord, this kind of treasure needs to be treasured and should not be easily shown to others... The people we recruit in Laizhou may not be loyal. If we steal our treasure..."

"You are too careful about this. On the boat and in the vast sea, you stole the treasure. Can they escape?" Ye Chang smiled: "On the contrary, you want to show them the treasure so that they can do things for us wholeheartedly."

"But……"

"Su Maojie, if someone really thinks he is wrong, it will be better if he exposes it earlier than if he exposes it later." Ye Chang said meaningfully.

They were muttering on the lookout building, and Wu Dahe, who was cleaning the deck below, whispered: "Brother, this boat is indeed good, not only strong, but also more stable than our previous boat."

"And the ship is fast, you see, there is no sail hanging at this speed," Wu Dajiang also said: "Brother, if we get this ship..."

"Shhh, silence"

Wu Dahai glared at them, and Wu Dajiang and Wu Dahe kept silent.

A little further behind them, Bian Ping, who was cleaning the cable, moved his ears and continued to clean his cable.

Ye Chang had extremely strict requirements on the maintenance of the ship. These water workers had to clean the deck of the ship and wash it three or five times a day, which made them have no time to gamble or chat.

Wu Dahai glanced around Bian Ping, and saw that there was nothing unusual, he whispered: "Be careful, don't talk nonsense, we must be careful when doing things."

"A group of river turtles, it's useless to go to the sea. Brother, you're too careful."

"If I hadn't been careful, we would have been done long ago." Wu Dahai glared at Wu Dajiao who was interrupting.

He was about to teach another lesson 丨A few words from brothers, but at this time someone shouted: "Wu Dahai, Wu Dahai, come up"

Wu Dahai's heart jumped, and he looked up and saw that Ye Chang had already come down from the tower. Su Ku Le, who was appointed as the captain, was calling him.

"Here, come"

Ye Chang smiled and watched the 40-year-old water worker running over cleverly from him, then climbed up the tower along the cable. Because of the sea breeze, he couldn't hear Su Kujiao's words to him on top, and only saw Su Kujiao handing the telescope in his hand to Wu Dahai.

Then Wu Dahai was as thick as Su's legs, and his hands were soft, and the telescope almost fell off.

"Damn it, you guys, be careful. This is a treasure of immortals that is hard to buy. If it is broken, it will not be able to exchange for your brother's five lives..."

He heard Su Kuala scolding him vaguely, and Ye Chang smiled silently. It was obvious that he had just been taught a lesson, so he taught the abductor a lesson. However, after Su Kuala said that among the water workers recruited this time, the Wu brothers were lucky people. They were not only good at driving the boat, but also willing to study hard, so Su Kuala was attracted by him.

Of course, Su Kuala also said that the five Wu brothers must not be ordinary fishermen and water workers, but they were afraid that they had done some activities on the sea that violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Ye Chang didn't care about this. At this time, no one on the sea was a pirate, or even those sea merchants. If they saw other ships in the vast sea, their first thought was whether they could steal the other party's vote.

There are no rules on the sea yet. What Ye Chang has to do is to start from the Bohai Sea to determine the rules on the sea.

"Wu Dajiang, it's your turn." Su's loud voice sounded again with thick legs. Wu Dajiang looked up and saw his brother falling down the cable in a daze. He couldn't help but feel surprised. Captain Su just saw something for his brother, why did his brother become like this?

Could it be that what Captain Su’s hands can actually capture people’s souls?
