That night, Zhao Yuan and Shang Qianfei lived in a small building.

Or just arrived, Zhao Yuan found that he was not sleepy at all.

"My husband, what's wrong?"

Shang Qianfei asked.

Zhao Yuan said: "It's nothing, I just can't sleep. Well, I'll go outside for some breath!"

After saying that, he got dressed, walked to the door, and leaped gently. He flew over a few feet away in an instant, and then he lit up on the ground. After landing, he had already seen the edge of the spitting out stones. Perhaps considering that this was already a piece of the yard, it was cleaned very clean.

As soon as Zhao Yuan landed, Shang Qianfei came over, stood beside him and smiled and said, "My husband, why not talk to you!"

Zhao Yuan nodded and simply sat down on the ground, looking at the vast sea in front of him.

The sea breeze blows towards you, with a slight fishy smell.

"My husband, what are you thinking?"

Shang Qianfei leaned gently on Zhao Yuan's head. Zhao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I am watching us by the side. I am the candidate sent by the Dongchang."

Shang Qianfei said: "Did you find it?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Yes, I just don't know if she knows that we have discovered her?"

Shang Qianfei said: "It doesn't matter if you don't find it. Well, it's just that we are. Will others envy you? You must know that others are still a girl who is not well-educated and probably hasn't been married yet."

Zhao Yuan said: "What? Are you planning to introduce him to a husband?"

Shang Qianfei smiled and said, "No, right, are you worried that you want no one here now?"

Materials and other issues are not what Zhao Yuan is concerned about now. It is easy for the imperial court to find the materials needed for a few ships, but the most important point is the drawings.

To build a ship, you naturally need drawings. Originally, the imperial court had drawings, but the imperial court implemented a maritime ban and it was very thorough. This would be better if the drawings were lost. I don’t know how to build this ship.

You should know that one of the things on the sea is balance, not just a casual construction. If the ship is unbalanced in the water, it will bring about a fatal result, capsizing.

If the ship had just fallen into the sea, how could it still sail and how could it resist strong winds and waves on the sea?

Shang Qianfei said: "If you talk about the drawings, why don't Senior Xie have the drawings?"

Now Xie Yunlou is building ships for Zhao Yuan and others. He has no drawings and familiar ship workers, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all. At least Shang Qianfei thinks so.

Zhao Yuan said: "Senior Xie does have it, there is no doubt about this, but there is one thing that we cannot use these things, otherwise it will arouse the emperor's suspicion. Therefore, the court must find these drawings. In addition, there are also those boatmen. The court does not lack silver now, and the silver for building some ships can be easily cut out, but what is lacking is boatmen. Now the craftsmen who build ships can only build small sampans sailing in the rivers. It is very difficult to find boats that want to be far-far!"

Shang Qianfei glanced at the side and smiled, "How difficult is this?"

Zhao Yuan said: "In this way, I will tell you step by step that our ship is going to sail far away, so all the factors on the sea must be taken into account. First of all, it is a structural issue!"

Shang Qianfei was a little puzzled and asked, "What is the structure?"

Zhao Yuan was silent for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "The so-called structure is the skeleton of the entire ship. When sailing far away, the ship must be strong. The reasonable structural design directly determines the degree of the ship's strength, just like us humans. Second, that is, the cabin distribution. Generally speaking, there are at least some cabins. The first is the cabin where crew members live, the second is the cabins where we live, the third is the cabins where food is stored, the fourth is the cabins where fresh water is stored, in addition to cooking cabins, other cargo cabins, and sealed cabins. "

Shang Qianfei said: "What can I understand about other cabins? What is the water-sealed cabin?"

Zhao Yuan said: "This is also the difference between the spread between sea boats and rivers. Sea boats have a deep draft and don't know what the situation is under the sea. In order to prevent the hull from sinking due to damage, some sealing cabins should be installed at the bottom of the ship. The so-called sealing cabins are independent small cabins, and each cabin is sealed. Even if the reefs or impacts on the sea, the sea water will only fill the destroyed individual cabins, but the overall ship will not sink due to water inlet. The number of sealing cabins depends on the size of the ship. Some are divided into two or three layers, and some will inject water into the seal cabin below the last layer, so that even if the seal cabin next to the hull is destroyed, the hull will not tilt."

Shang Qianfei said: "So there is such a trick here, so what about it?"

Zhao Yuan said: "That's the double-layer hull. The sides of our ordinary ship are made of wood, the wood is light, but not strong, and easy to be damaged. We will not only encounter strong winds and waves on the sea, but also encounter Japanese pirates. The sturdiness of the ship ensures our safety. Therefore, a layer of iron is wrapped in the side mezzanine of the ship. Even if it is not completely wrapped, it can strengthen the ship's defense. As for the amount of iron wrapped, it is also a problem. In addition, the weapon of our ship itself, the most suitable weapon is artillery.

The cannons used on land are now stupid and heavy, and they are not powerful enough. If they are forced to board the ship, it will not only increase the burden on the ship, but because they are too large and there are not many ships on the ship, which poses no great threat. In addition, the sound of the cannon cannot move left and right. If you want to shoot the enemy, you must adjust the hull! The loading speed is also very slow, which affects the speed of firing. If this kind of cannon is forced to board the ship, it will only be a burden on the ship. There are many Japanese pirates at sea, and we must have enough self-protection ability."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan sighed and said, "So, even if we want to build a ship tightly, we must first have drawings. If there are no drawings, we must find skilled craftsmen who can design drawings. Second, we must prepare a group of craftsmen. These craftsmen are more extensive and are no less than those of the craftsmen of the imperial Shenji Camp. For example, let them develop artillery suitable for the hull and reduce the weight as much as possible while ensuring the power. The power structure of this artillery is completely different from that of the shore artillery. And the most critical person here has not come yet."

Shang Qianfei said: "Who is it?"

Zhao Yuan said: "The court sent me here to help me prepare or get these people!"

Zhao Yuan can make his own request, but after the request is made, he doesn't know who will contact the court or buy what he needs.

Shang Qianfei said: "If this happens, I guess I will have to ask Yu Lang tomorrow to see what he can do!"

Zhao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "It's hard to start with."

After a moment of pause, he continued to say: "In addition, the ships built by Senior Xie Yunlu for us are not equipped with cannons. This is a very dangerous thing. Senior Xie's ship is not afraid of Japanese pirates. After all, there are many experts on it, but our ships are different. Without cannons, there will be no deterrent to those Japanese pirates who are rampant at the sea. Therefore, those ships must also be equipped with cannons!"

At first, Zhao Yuan did not realize this problem, but now he remembered it when he talked about this.

Speaking of this, he could no longer do anything. He stood up and said, "I went to find Yu Lang. I must find a way to ask him to send someone back to the capital immediately to explain the matter to Lord Lu, and mobilize some of the people from Shenji Camp to gather!"

This is related to the safety of Liu Zhiqing and others, so Zhao Yuan can't stay there.

This height is nothing to Zhao Yuan. He jumped down and found where Yu Lang lived. At this moment, Yu Lang did not go to bed. Seeing Zhao Yuan visiting, he immediately got up to greet him and sent a cup of tea to Zhao Yuan. Then he said, "Master Qianhu, I'll send someone to inform him again, why do you need to come in person?"

Zhao Yuan said: "The matter is urgent, so there is not much attention. Now you send someone to the capital immediately and find a way to tell Lord Lu, asking him to mobilize a group of craftsmen who are good at gunpowder and artillery from the craftsmen of Shenji Camp to arrive here."

Yu Lang said in surprise: "Craftsman, do you mean that Lord Qianhu wants to build artillery?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Yes, we lack boat workers now, so this aspect is a bit lagging behind, but other things can be started first, such as making artillery. Now the cannons we use on land are too heavy, the firing rate is slow, and the loading is very inconvenient. We must redesign a cannon that can be used on the ship. The Shenji Yingjian is good at making firearms, so they have to arrange people."

Yu Lang said: "My Lord means you want to see the cannons loaded on the ship?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Of course. If the ship is not loaded on the ship and goes to sea, what should I do if I encounter Japanese pirates? Could it be that the soldiers on the ship only rely on the bows and arrows? There are enough artillery on the ship to have enough deterrence."

Yu Lang nodded slightly and said, "What the lord said is very good. Well, please send someone to you immediately."

...

Just as Zhao Yuan went to find Yu Lang, Shang Qianfei slowly stood up, looked at the small courtyard not far below, smiled slightly, the real person jumped away, floated directly downward, and then stepped on it gently, landed on the trunk. He seemed to have no weight and feathers, swaying up and down gently as the trunk, then smiled and asked, "Sir, is the words I said to me and my husband just now real?"

Just under the big tree in front of Shang Qianfei Station, a man slowly walked out and said, "I have not warned you that idle people cannot wait to get close to this house within ten feet!"

Shang Qianfei smiled and said, "Don't get close to ten feet or something. Well, why did the adults get so close just now and eavesdrop on what I talked with my husband. Well, I don't know if the adults are already married. Let's talk some whispers between us. Don't be embarrassed if you listen."

This person was eavesdropping on someone's conversation just now, how could Shang Qianfei and Zhao Yuan not know? Therefore, they only let her vaguely hear what she could hear. If they didn't want her to hear what she was, they would naturally not let her hear it.

The man suddenly blushed and said, "Shameless!"

Shang Qianfei smiled softly and said, "Is it shameless? Why are we a couple saying something about the whispers between us? How can we be shameless? The so-called food, sex, nature, that is human instinct and human nature. Adults are so unwilling to mention it. It is not that they are shy, right? Well, we haven't gotten married yet? So, can there be someone you like?"

Shang Qianfei teased him like this, but he could not bear it. He drew out his sword and jumped to stab Shang Qianfei directly.

Shang Qianfei got a little under his feet and floated to the ground, but he still joked: "Oh, I've started to do anything. I'm kind-hearted. Why don't I appreciate it at all? It's fine, but I've even started to do it."

The sword fell to nothing, and the man kicked the tree, and immediately stabbed Shang Qianfei again like a milk swallow returning to his nest.

Shang Qianfei said: "You are like this, and it's just that people don't like it, and you're asking for a fight!"

As he said that, he folded the number next to him, and took a small branch and went straight to meet it.

Seeing that Shang Qianfei actually used a mere thin branch to deal with him, the man became even more angry and said, "Are you bullying too much?"

Shang Qianfei said: "You are still a man, why are you so stingy? My wife is too bullying? When have you bullied you? Don't complain first!"

Even though she said so, the branches in her hand were not idle at all, and in her hand, this small branch was like a magic weapon and could not be cut off at all.

However, Shang Qianfei's words made the man stunned, and then he immediately retreated and said, "Don't get close to this house!"

When he said this, he took two steps back, jumped directly, and retreated back to the house. He had previously said that he was not allowed to approach the house in ten feet, but he found that he was no match for Shang Qianfei at all, so he stopped. The ten feet also became that he was not allowed to approach the house, and there was no limit on the distance, whether it was ten feet, one feet or one feet.

When Shang Qianfei saw that he had entered, he was not breaking in. He threw the branches in his hand at the wall and said, "I'm so stingy!"

Then he returned to the small building. After she left, the man appeared and came out of the wall again, but found that Shang Qianfei threw it casually, and the plain branch had pierced the wall in front of him.

On the other hand, Shang Qianfei returned to the small building, and Zhao Yuan also happened to come back. Seeing that she was coming from below, she could smell it: "Have you gone to say hello to your neighbor?"

Shang Qianfei nodded and said, "Yes, but this neighbor is not friendly at all, and he is very stingy. He just touches his hands without saying a word, which means he is not very good with his kung fu. If he has the chance to see him tomorrow, I am asking for advice!"
