Under the spring breeze in April, sea boats filled the Zhufanggang Port Area. On the Yangtze River, which is more than 80 miles wide from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River, there are also various boats that cannot be seen at a glance. Outside Zhufangyi and Guanglingyi, there are another military tent connected to each other. Boys from various counties and towns of Chu, nobles from various clans, as well as officials, temples and palace maids, arrived here one after another last month, waiting for the final order to board the boat.

The situation is not optimistic. Although the construction of the government built forty sea boats within half a year, bringing the total number of sea boats to 227 (eight converted into gunboats have been reduced); more than 3,300 fishing boats were built, bringing the total number of fishing boats to more than 20,000. The total tonnage of boats under the control of the Grand Sima Mansion increased to 400,000 tons. However, after previous trial voyages, the transportation tonnage of one ton per person was not enough.

Even if you sail along the way, it will take more than ten days to reach Xinying. During these ten days, people have to eat, drink, defecate, exercise, and sleep. The tonnage of adults must be 15 tons, and the tonnage of boys needs at least one ton. This is the result of the modification of the boat after the trial voyage, otherwise most people can only sleep on the deck.

The sun, rain, wind and waves are prone to illness. Once they get sick, they are crowded with others, and the result is that everyone in the boat is infected. There have been such examples in the trial voyage. One person coughs with wind, and most of the people in the boat are coughing. In the adjusted evacuation plan, a special boat of the same type is set up for every fifty boats, and each section of the voyage has a certain number of beds for patients to recuperate.

However, the key is the per capita tonnage. It is not the soldiers who migrate. Even the soldiers died, and the number of people who died in Yu was more than the number of people who died in battle. With a large per capita tonnage, the personnel can get enough space to get better rest, the prevalence and infection rate are greatly reduced. However, this limits the number of people transported. 400,000 tons minus 100,000 tons of materials from the transportation machinery, 70,000 tons of food and fodder, and minus the maids. The remaining 30,000 tons of Chu army were only 200,000 tons.

If adults have 15 tons and boys are one ton, the number of transporters of 90,000 boys remains unchanged. The number of transportation of nobles, officials, craftsmen and their families will be reduced by one quarter, and about 30,000 people will be stranded on the shore and waiting for the next round of migration. It is June, and June is the hurricane season. From Zhufang Bay to entering the sea in the abbot's island, the three-way flight will be at least ten days a day, and the round trip will be more than twenty days. In these 20 days, there will be storms and the boat will be destroyed.

When Xiong Jing arrived at Zhufang Port, Luyang Jun, Shen Yinshang, Song Yu, Kong Qian, Zhaoshu, Qu Sui, Gong Yindao, E Zhuo and others were still debating about the per capita tonnage. In other words, it was not that the per capita tonnage was not determined, but that the tonnage of nobles, officials, and classics was not determined.

Luyang Jun and Shen Yinyi believed that the per capita tonnage of 15 tons for adults should be transported according to the per capita tonnage of 15 tons for adults. Zhaoshu and Qusu did not object to this. However, ten thousand nobles, officials, their families and servants, the per capita of 15 tons is too narrow, and it takes at least two tons. Including the 0.5 tons, these extra tonnages out of thin air must be squeezed out of others, such as craftsmen.

Song Yu and Kong Qian care about it were not people, but books. Chu Palace, Lantai Palace, and Xianyang's treasures, classics, bamboo slips, and armor pieces were collected. For some reason, Jixia Academy found two people and asked them to transport Jixia's classics to Xinying. There are many doctors in the world, with more classics than Lantai, not less than Lantai Palace. It is estimated that at least ten sea boats are needed, with a load of 4,000 tons. The two asked Luyang Jun to draw out ten sea boats to Jimo Bay, Qi State to transport those classics.

Previously, Xiong Jing had been in Chen Ying and Qifeng because of military affairs. As soon as he arrived at Zhufang, these people came up to bow and said, "The noble officials will not come to Xinying, and the country will not be in the country. Don't Da Ao know?"

"The classics of Jixia Academy are more important than Mount Tai. I asked Da Ao to send a sea boat to transport it." Song Yu has not called Xiong Jing Da Ao until now, but only called Xiong Jing the king. On the contrary, Kong Qian was open and knew the truth that 'The barbarians had a king is not as good as the Chinese people'-

The Chu people were on par with the Zhou emperor. If the Chu State was a fiefdom within the Zhou system, such as Jin, Qi, Zheng, and Lu, it would definitely be an usurpation. The Chu State was the barbarian in the eyes of the Zhou people, and the barbarians were not qualified to usurpation. Therefore, in Confucius's view, it didn't matter whether the Chu people were king or emperor. This was the barbarians' own business. After all, "barbarians cannot be polite to China."

"Gunboat..." Mi Xuan was with Xiong Jing. She was about to say that the palace maids, palace maids, and servants could arrange for the gunboats, Xiong Jing stopped her. "What's the difficulty?" Xiong Jing didn't ask anyone else, but only asked the Luyang Jun who was fully responsible for handling the evasion affairs.

"Reported to Da Ao, each adult needs one and a half tons, and the original tonnage is insufficient." Lu Yang Jun, who has been tangled by Zhaoshu, Qu Sui and others, was also in a dilemma. Many things were adjusted after the trial voyage, but unfortunately one month was not enough to adjust everything.

"The original tonnage is insufficient, so the personnel will be left behind and the required tonnage will be vacant." Xiong Jing said.

"But..." Lu Yangjun looked at Zhaoshu, Qu Sui and others. "The noble man is unwilling to stay on the shore."

"Da Ao Mingjian, if the nobles do not arrive, how can Xinying become a country?" Qu Sui said. "We should reduce the tons of craftsmen to transport nobles."

"Da Ao, there are 100,000 craftsmen, but they all carry their parents and wives, and there are 80,000 or 90,000 people, which is a large number of them." Zhaoshu always felt that there were too many craftsmen, especially the family of craftsmen. There were six or seven craftsmen in a household, and only one craftsmen. In other words, there were only more than 10,000 craftsmen, and the remaining 80,000 and 90,000 were all family members.

"Oh?" Xiong Jing had been unaware of the specific number of craftsmen, and only knew about 100,000 craftsmen. He was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Gong Yindao.

"Da Ao Mingjian, his parents and wives are also craftsmen!" Gong Yindao defended. "If there were no craftsmen, how could Xinying build a city, how to build tools, and how to cultivate them? These 100,000 people were chosen from the craftsmen of each government, and Ao Hou knew about it."

"There are only more than 10,000 craftsmen, and more than 80,000 servants, and more than 80,000 noble officials, Wu Weijie Temples, and palace maids. Among them, there are 1,500 royal courts, and the remaining 8,500 people. They are divided into the clans, and only 5,000 are left. How many noble people can be moved beyond these 5,000 servants? I wondered, when will the craftsmen in our Chu State be noble and noble people be inferior?"

"Zhao Ao's words are wrong. Craftsmen and temple people are all servants of the king's court, and boats are also boats of the king's court. I think it's nothing wrong with the king's court." Xiong Jing stood beside him, Mi Xuan was more confident. Before her husband could speak, Mi Xuan refuted. "All families are building boats, and the size of the boats they built is not known."

"How can the boats of Chu become the boats of the Wang Ting?" Zhao Shu's face turned red when she was refuted by Mi Xuan, and Qu Sui questioned.

"The 180,000-ton large boats, more than 10,000 tons of river boats are boats in Chu, but more than 90,000 tons of sea boats, twenty thousand tons of fishing boats, and more than 20,000 tons of warship boats, and transport boats, most of which are owned by the Wang Ting." Mi Xuan said again. "Wang Ting did not ask for a big boat, nearly 150,000 tons of boats are enough to transport craftsmen, temple people, and boys."

After careful consideration, Wang Ting was more than enough to be self-sufficient. Mi Xuan said this. Gong Yindao also said this in his heart. Qu Sui stopped talking. Lu Yang Jun laughed dryly and smoothed out: "Most craftsmen are craftsmen from various prefectures, and there will be few people next time."

"There are 40,000 craftsmen who built the mansions and built boats alone, and the rest of the mansions have nearly 100,000; there are 50,000 or 600,000 families. Will the Lord of Luyang move these 500,000 to Xinying?" Zhaoshu did not use Mi Xuan as the object of the debate, but only looked at Luyang.

"If there were no craftsmen, how could I gain a foothold in Xinying and how would I regain Chu again in the future?" Gong Yindao said. Five or six hundred thousand craftsmen could not all move to Xinying, but according to his true thoughts, at least half of them would have to move away.

"If there were no nobles, how could Xinying become a country?" Qu Sui turned to Xiong Jing, "Please decide on Da Ao."

"The nobles of each family can build their own boats." Xiong Jing said. "Why not build them?"

"The war has been going on for five years, and the nobles have no gold and silver. How can we build a boat?" Zhaoshu sighed. "And the price of sea boats is high..."

"We should have built fishing boats, not sea boats." Xiong Jing interrupted him and said, "A fishing boat is only ten gold. If the beams and pillars can be removed at home, the labor cost is only hardware, and the cost is very small. Why build a sea boat?"

"The fishing boat is the boat of the common people. How can a noble man take a fishing boat?" Zhaoshu seemed to have been greatly insulted, and his face turned red again.

"Who said that fishing boats are the boats of common people? The sea boats are the boats of noble people?" Xiong Jing was extremely puzzled. "At that time, my ancestors of Chu were arduous and were riding only a firewood cart. Confucius said, "If the way is not done, ride a boat to float in the sea." What's the chartered rafts, what's the value?"

Zhaoshu's face was originally red, and when Xiong Jing said that it was hot and bloody, his face suddenly turned black, but his head was lowered. For those who were used to Zhou Li, everything, food, clothing, housing and transportation showed ranks, as if there was no rank, there would be no dignity of a noble. Xiong Jing scoffed at this idea. The reason why a noble is noble is because the nobles are brave and good at fighting, not the Zhou Li level.

"What else?" Xiong Jing skipped the question of noble tonnage and craftsman tonnage and asked other things directly.

"There are many classics of the Jixia Academy, so we should also transport them to Xinying." Kong Qian said. "This requires ten sea boats."

"The Taifu should know that the sea boats are insufficient, and Jixia classics can only be postponed until next year or later." The tonnage increased sharply. Originally, Xiong Jing thought that 400,000 people could be moved in September or October, but now it seems impossible. Even if the mansion is built and another 50,000 tons of boats and oars, all 450,000 tons of people will be transported, and there will be no 400,000 people.

"There are hundreds of classics of the Jixia Academy, how can we postpone the fortune next year and the next year?!" Song Yu finally spoke in an extremely anxious tone.

"The ten sea boats need to be shipped to Jimo Bay. There is Qi land, and Chu Qi is the enemy country. After the sea boats go, Qi people will stay there. What should I do?" Xiong Jing expressed his other concerns. "Since the disciples and disciples have their disciples, please transport the books into Chu State and Ksitigarbha. Or lobby for merchants and nobles, they can transport them into Xinying."
