This is a bay hidden among reefs and thorns and weeds. In fact, it is in Jiaozhou Bay in later generations. The area is not too large, but the sea surface and nearby beaches are full of thick logs. These are cut down from the vicinity of Langya and Laoshan under the emperor's order. There are thousands of woods. The largest one has a diameter of more than two meters, a length of more than twenty meters, and a smallest one has a waist thickness. To cut down these logs, tens of thousands of people in Qi County have been used one after another, but now they are discarded here like waste. Many woods are soaked in the water, and some have turned black and started to decay.

There are many wooden houses near the beach where the villagers lived, which have already fallen around under the erosion of violent wind and rain, and most of them have collapsed.

There are also several docks here. It is probably the first time that the sea ships were built here, but now they are in an abandoned state. The dock gates have long been washed away by the waves, and even the dock has been silted by mud and sand.

Therefore, what Chen Xu saw after he arrived was a messy state of being filled with weeds and thorns.

"Mr. Marquis, this place was originally a shipyard, but it was abandoned because it was not convenient to transport goods in and out. Several sea boats used by those alchemists to go to sea in three years were built here!" The magistrate of Langya County who accompanied him explained carefully.

"Yes, this place is hidden enough. As soon as possible, people can prepare the sheds and docks. After all the tools and materials for building large ships are prepared as soon as possible, you can start sawing and starting work first. Don't be afraid of spending money. Tell all craftsmen and civil servants that the wages can be settled on a daily basis. Ordinary craftsmen and civil servants have twenty coins per day, apprentices thirty coins per day, craftsmen are fifty coins per day, and the time limit is forty days. Each person will be given another fifty coins a day..., Cao Shen is responsible for everything here for the time being. Please cooperate closely to call the best craftsmen here!"

After Chen Xu made arrangements, several soldiers soon brought over a few old craftsmen with dark and white skin, their hands were covered with thick calluses, and they were obviously skilled craftsmen who built sea boats for many years.

"Come with me!" Chen Xu walked into a shed near the beach with a relatively complete wall but no roof, and squatted on the ground to spread out the several sailboat drawings he brought to begin the introduction.

As for this new strange sea boat that relies on sails, a group of craftsmen were initially disdainful. Chen Xu said that a group of old craftsmen were still curling their lips and constantly asking questions. Although Chen Xu did not know the structure of the sailboat, nor did he know the specific method, he was knowledgeable after all. Although he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs running. At least in terms of appearance, he could still be roughly explained.

There was a very famous movie called "Pirates of the Caribbean". Chen Xu almost watched each episode more than twice, so he drew these drawings according to his copy.

"The sharp bottom structure can make the wooden boat drip deeper, so that part of it sinks into the water can be more stable in the wind and waves. The sea boats are all flat bottoms, like a wooden board floating on the sea surface, which is very bumpy during driving, and it is easy to overturn when encountering side winds and transverse waves. The pointed structure can push the waves more easily, so that it can travel faster. As for sails, the big ship I designed has main sails, front sails and side sails. In order to support these sails, masts several meters high must be erected on the ship. These masts must be very firm and strong. Therefore, the keel of this sailboat requires more stable and strong than flat boats... And this rudder, relying on the rotation of the rudder wheel to control the tail rudder with ropes and connecting rods, so that it can react conveniently and quickly at the bow without sending messages back and forth to the bottom cabin to waste time..."

As Chen Xu continued to explain, a group of old craftsmen began to look dull, then their expressions were excited, and then their eyes were shiny, looking at Chen Xu like a hungry wolf.

This young man came from and didn't know where he had such a whimsical idea. I won't talk about the sail. Although I don't know how big the function is, this rudder is definitely a whimful stroke, and it is not too difficult to make. At present, the sea ship craft of Daqin is very mature and can easily create a very complex structure. The tail rudder relies on a huge rudder rod to be turned by a boatman. In fact, the principle is similar to that of an ordinary boat, but it is just an enlarged version. If it is changed to a rudder, semi-mechanical control can be achieved whether it is a rope winch or even a shaft rod.

(Note: Regarding the history of Chinese sailing, some people say that it originated from the Warring States Period, but there is no historical record. Xu Fu crossed the east to sea. This is the earliest detailed navigation event in China, but there is no mention of sailing. The earliest record of sailing is "Nanzhou Yizhilu" in the Three Kingdoms period. This book is said to be written by Wan Zhen, the prefect of Danyang of Wu State in the Three Kingdoms period. It records the scenery of Guangdong and Hainan. It mentions sailing, but this book has long been lost and was slowly recorded after the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Later Sui books, Tang books, and Qimin must-have also began to be recorded. According to speculation,

Chinese sailing ships first appeared not earlier than the Western Han Dynasty. They began to develop in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Three Kingdoms period began to be widely used, and truly flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties. They flourished during the Ming Dynasty during Zheng He's voyage to the West. Then the sailing technology of China and the West began to integrate. Westerners adopted the hard sail technology of the East to improve the impedance and borrowing function of wind, thus opening up the era of global navigation. During the Qing Dynasty, thousands of sails gathered in Guangzhou and Fuzhou and other places to cover the sky and the sun became the last glory. Westerners quickly invented steam turbines and began to build large steel ships, and sailing ships also declined.)

It took an hour to finish Chen Xu carefully explained several appearance pictures, sectional pictures, as well as sails, steering wheels, angles, muzzles, shooting holes and other structures.

"You are all old craftsmen who build sea boats. They are naturally experienced. The big boat I want to build must be at least twenty feet long. Because the bottom cabin does not need to be arranged, it can be made more closed and sturdy. In order to prevent the bottom of the ship from rupturing and leaking, the bottom cabin must be divided into many sealed independent cabins, so that even if there is a place to leak, it will not cause a shipwreck..."

Chen Xu focused on reminding this group of craftsmen based on some of his own ideas.

"Do you save water tanks? Don't worry, the sea boats have water tanks..." A group of craftsmen nodded repeatedly.

"That's good. I'll leave these drawings for you to study carefully. Pay special attention to the fact that the keel and mast must be strong. Don't be afraid of spending money. After this ship is built, I will reward you with three thousand yuan each..."

"Three thousand coins..." a group of craftsmen exclaimed, their dark faces were so excited that they were about to drip.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts drag their grinding. The suddenly falling money bag from the sky suddenly made a group of craftsmen dizzy and couldn't find them all.

Seeing a group of craftsmen continue to quarrel around the drawings, Chen Xu walked out of the wooden shed and summoned Cao Shen to give him some careful advice again. Cao Shen was naturally overjoyed.

Originally, Chen Xu was fooled from Pei County to prepare to go to Xianyang to develop, but now he already knows Chen Xu's true identity, so he naturally devoted himself to join Chen Xu.

There are two people who are most aspiring in the world who want to surrender to. The first one is naturally Qin Dada, the largest boss of Qin. However, Qin Dada is currently covered with hair on both thighs, and there is basically no chance to climb up. Now the Qin Dynasty is stable, and the princes and princes recommend all their relatives of their own family. Even outsiders do not have the opportunity to squeeze into the mansions of some princes and princes to be a disciple.

The second person who wants to surrender most is naturally Qinghe Hou.

The Marquis of Qinghe is the newly rising marquis, and he is also a disciple of the Immortal Family. This identity alone is enough to make the people in the world crazy. Unfortunately, no one recommends it, but the opportunity suddenly appears in front of you. A few of them from Pei County were actually attracted by the Marquis of Qinghe. This is naturally a chance to reach the sky in one step.

At present, Xiao He and Liu Bang were arranged to go to Guanzhong to attack the Xiang family and Ji brothers. Cao Shen was still a little nervous and disappointed, but he was immediately assigned an important task.

Cao Shen didn't understand the shipbuilding, but he knew that Chen Xu was just in case he went back on his word against Huang Shi Gong. The purpose of this big ship was to successfully pick up the Marquis. Therefore, the significance of this ship was more important in Chen Xu's mind than the people who assassinated him at the moment.

After all, the Xiang family and the Ji brothers were just an idea to assassinate Chen Xu. Once they learned the news, Chen Xu could have countless ways to avoid disaster. The easiest thing was to capture the Xiang family and the Ji brothers in advance. As a marquis who was most favored by the emperor, Chen Xu only needed one sentence, and the emperor would definitely kill the Xiang family and Ji family.

But this ship is different. This is what Chen Xu is most concerned about now. They followed Chen Xu to the Huangshigong's ship yesterday and all heard Chen Xu gently express his feelings to the water with their own ears. That unforgettable feeling was deeply moved by them, the gangsters who didn't care much about women.

I have long heard that the Marquis of Qinghe favored his wife the best in the world, and he could not be more good to his wife and concubines. Yesterday they finally realized the legendary situation. The words of thousands of people in the world are not as good as you are enough to let everyone in the world know the position of the Marquis of Hou Shui in the mind of Qinghe Hou.

Since everything was arranged, Chen Xu could only wait patiently.

Without a new ship, Huangshi Gong could not go out to sea, but Chen Xu could not rashly go to save the water.

A month is said to be not long, but for Chen Xu, every day is like suffering.

He was afraid that water Gentrang would have any accidents again, so he had to inspect the shipyard almost every day. Jiang Chuxing brought back a full 500,000 yuan of tickets and coins. Every day, Cao Shen used a large basket to pay wages to all the craftsmen and workers. In order to rush to work, hundreds of craftsmen, boatmen, civilians and soldiers in supervision were like chicken blood. Several people carried giant trees as thick as buckets and ran faster than rabbits. The sound of slogans on the entire construction site was one after another, and the sound of axes and saws were jingling all day long, and they were busy.

Under the careful care of the doctor, Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin have recovered a lot. Although their internal injuries have not been completely healed, they have not had one ten martial arts skills. They were injured by Huangshi Gong twice in a row. With the injuries, they soaked in the sea for a day and a night. It was a blessing to be able to save a life. Moreover, because Shui Qingrou was not recovered, Yu Wuya was also very ashamed and lost. He hid in the foot house almost all day long and meditated and practiced to recover his body, just waiting for the big ship to get Shui Qingrou.

Xia Zijin also felt a little embarrassed. She accepted Chen Xu's entrustment and went out to find Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou, but she didn't expect to meet an opponent like Huangshi Gong when she went down the mountain and walked the rivers for the first time. If it weren't for Chen Xu, she would have died this time. This time, the blow to her was even greater than that of Yu Wuya, so she hid with Yu Wuya all day long to practice martial arts. Therefore, after more than ten consecutive days, the relationship between the two was somewhat tangled. Chen Xu often saw the two of them touching and pinching each other, and said something like a big idiot, and they would just take off their clothes and fight.

Chen Xu was sincerely happy that a straight man like Yu Wuya could find a special variety that likes to beat him up and is happy with it.

Although Gai Nie was rescued, his injuries were too heavy and he had not yet died, but his condition was getting better and worse. He had never woken up. Chen Xu had to ask someone to arrange him in a clinic in Langya County for several doctors to take care of him, and feed some rice porridge and medicine every day.
