"This Huang Zu is too deceiving!" After leaving the Xiling Yamen, Liu Sandao said in a angrily manner. The three of them came here to visit, but they didn't even allow them to enter.

"It's enough to achieve the goal." Liu Yi was not too concerned about this. Isn't it normal for others to look down on others in the case of huge gap in identity? At least Zhuge Liang's letter did not fall on the ground, and Huang Zu gave him a place to build a city. This was already good.

He is already past the age of second-year high and has also encountered bad luck, so he pays more attention to real profits when looking at problems. At least he has helped you. If someone really despises you, he must take revenge in the future. The road will only become narrower and narrower, and even in the end there is no way out.

Liu Sandao was obviously used to being a bandit, and he muttered something indignantly. Liu Yi ignored him. When he came, he had already found out where the largest wood dealer in Xiling County was. He spent 20,000 yuan to book a few difficult-to-find woods. However, it was probably tomorrow that people's shops were open in the city, but the timbers were hoarded outside the city. What Liu Yi had to consider now is how to transport the wood back. His own wooden cart could not pull so much wood.

The city of Xiling is a bit depressed. Is it a reason? Jiangdong seems to have had a strange movement recently. This is a very normal thing. Sun Jian died under Huang Zu back then. Sun Quan wanted to avenge his father. This reason is enough for Sun Quan to send troops to conquer Jiangxia anytime and anywhere. Of course, in Liu Yi's opinion, this is only one of the reasons. The most important thing is that he is probably aiming at the fertile land of Jingzhou.

With private revenge and the struggle for interests, Jiangxia is naturally the best springboard for Jiangdong to open the Jingzhou portal.

"By the way, where is Jingling?" Liu Yi asked a relatively novice question. Not to mention the map from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it is a modern map. It is impossible for him to clearly explain the locations of all provinces, let alone now. Zhuge Liang only marked some cities from Xinye to Jiangxia on the map, and the others were not marked, so Liu Yi could only ask without shame.

The place where Huang Zu marked Liu Yi was located in a wasteland north of Tianmen Mountain in Jingling. There were no villages and only towns in the late Han Dynasty. In the Three Kingdoms period, there were also some clans who built their own villages, just like the village where Deng Ai and his son were before, but that was not formal. Now that Liu Yi has established a village, Huang Zu directly gave Liu Yi the treatment of the three elders. In other words, the city he built was a formal village registered in the court, which belongs to the formal ones.

Dengzhuang, where the Deng family clan gathers, has a similar situation. It still has to pay taxes to counties every year. If the government recruits troops, people will also have to be released.

Of course, there will be rewards if you give your efforts. First of all, this is the city recognized by the government and is protected by the government. If you are harassed by thieves, you can also ask for protection from the government.

However, in this era of vassal battles, many farms, although nominally belonged to the government, did not buy it, and taxes were only dealt with on-the-top things.

"Jingling?" Liu Sandao looked at Liu Yi with a daze. He was from Guanzhong. Although he had been to many places, he only knew the familiarity of Jingzhou. It was okay to have a map. If there was no map, what would be where Jingling was?

"Go and ask my sister-in-law of the Deng family." Liu Yi looked at the other person's face and shook his head helplessly. Deng's mother is a native and seems to have received some education. She should be able to point out the direction for herself. If it really doesn't work, she asked all the way. This is also a normal way to walk when going out these days. After all, the map can only point out a rough direction.

Deng Ai and his son were placed in the winery house and did not follow him. Now the matter has been completed. Liu Yi took the two to the winery house.

"Mr. Liu." Seeing Liu Yi and the other two come back, Deng's mother smiled and stood up to greet her.

This is probably the so-called celebrity effect. Before Zhuge Liang recommended it, Liu Yi was just regarded as a neighbor who got along well and had some skills. This time, when Zhuge Liang recommended it, he even changed his name.

"Does sister-in-law know where Jingling is?" Liu Yi reached out to help him and asked with a smile.

"It's east of Huarong." Deng's mother nodded and said, "If you want to go to Jingling, you can take a waterway. Jingling connects the river, Han River, and Xia River. It is quite convenient to take a waterway. It is about 500 miles away and can be reached in half a month, and it is not easy to get lost."

"Water Road?" Liu Yi repeated it, nodded silently and said, "Okay, let's go to the water road."

"But we don't have a ship!" Liu Sandao said in surprise.

"Don't forget who I am." Liu Yi patted Liu Sandao and said, "Let your brother go to meet with the village leader first, and let him go to Jingling, south of Tianmen Mountain, and cut more wood. However, before I arrive, I just need to polish the trunks and don't build them first. Everything will be done after I arrive."

This is his biggest job since his time travel. Once it is completed, the harvest will be immeasurable and naturally no one will be allowed to destroy it.

"Okay." Liu Sandao didn't say much, and immediately agreed and ordered another bandit who was traveling with him to find Lu Lingqi and inform Lu Lingqi first.

"Get my carriage." Liu Yi smiled at the bandit.

"He drove the carriage away, how should we go?" Liu Sandao said in confusion.

"Take a boat, let's go." Liu Yi said goodbye to Deng's mother and son. After making an appointment to meet by the river three days later, he took Liu Sandao straight out of the city. Although I bought not much wood this time, it was difficult for ordinary boats to carry. And how can I make a living in the future, I naturally need some boats.

However, there were a lot of things transported this time, and Liu Yi was going to make a mother-child boat.

The mother and child ship is a simple method of manufacturing plate ships in Mohist institutions, which is specially used to transport cargo. The two ships are connected to each other. However, from the outside, it seems like two ships overlapping, and the large ship blocks part of the small ship. The mother ship is responsible for carrying cargo, while the child ship has mechanisms, similar to the pedal wheel of a bicycle. In addition, it can also use the power of a part of the water flow to reverse the power of the water, so that the ship will not be affected by too much water flow even in the case of countercurrent.

Although it is only the simplest application of Mohist mechanisms, in Liu Yi's view, this application of mechanics has reached its peak. It is hard to imagine that there was such a perfect mechanic system in the pre-Qin period, but unfortunately it was not passed down.
