On a sunny day with gentle wind, hundreds of people on the Tianjin pier stopped to watch a small fishing boat.
Xu Wei's story of using cement and steel bars to build fishing boats quickly spread throughout Tianjin Port.
This caused a huge sensation in the entire Tianjin Port. Things like cement and steel bars did not look like they could float on the water. Most people thought that this cement ship would surely sink when it hit the water, but there was still a small number of people.
They felt that Qu Shuai was omnipotent. Qu Shuai said that if the cement boat can float on the water, then it will definitely float on the water, so these tribes divided into two groups and argued endlessly!
Now that the cement boat is dry, it's time to launch it into the water. Whether it can float or not, everyone will know the result immediately, so many tribesmen want to know the result as soon as possible, so they gathered on the dock to watch.
"Fengxiao, can this thing made of steel and cement really float on the water?" Xi Zhongchi asked.
"Maybe not?" Guo Jia was not sure. Cement dries just like stone. It can be said to be a kind of stone that can change shape. Stones and steel bars don't look like things that can float. They really do.
, that is simply against the laws of nature.
But Lei Gong is not an ordinary person. He might have some secret method that can make stones and steel bars float on the water, so Guo Jia doesn't dare to say for sure.
Guo Jia and his two men were in Bingzhou to observe the Tengjia Army's governance of Bingzhou. They happened to encounter a mobilization order from Taiyuan County. Taiyuan County, which was originally a lively and prosperous county, instantly turned into a large military camp.
People came from all directions and quickly filled up the military camp in Taiyuan County. It actually took less than three days for the Tengjia Army to recruit 100,000 troops. Moreover, the people were happy to hear the battle and were surprised to see such a scene.
, the two of them discovered that the Tengjia Army was just a country of farming and warfare, an enhanced version of the Qin Dynasty.
At this time, the two of them finally understood why the Tengjia Army could mobilize more than 500,000 troops despite its population of only ten million. It even mobilized 100,000 troops in a few days when Dong Zhuo attacked Taiyuan County. The Tengjia Army was basically composed of one army.
The power! An army of 500,000 is not the limit of the Tengjia Army. If there is enough food and grass, it will not be difficult for Lei Gong to recruit an army of one million!
After the Youzhou War ended, the two of them felt that no force in the world could resist Lei Gong. Even the 500,000-strong army of the imperial court could not defeat Lei Gong. After this defeat, the imperial court was afraid that it would not be able to continue the attack.
It's thunderous.
They knew that the imperial court could organize an army of 500,000 this time, relying on the order to massacre the entire merchant class of the Han Dynasty. It was no longer possible for the Han Dynasty to recruit an army of 500,000 men. Instead, they had to guard against Lei Gong's attack. The offensive and defensive postures of both sides
has been reversed.
After discussing with each other, they felt that Thunder Lord might be the real dragon in this troubled time, and they planned to take refuge with Thunder Lord.
But before they left Bingzhou, they heard that Lei Gong ordered his men to massacre the noble families in Youzhou. Even the families who bought bonds from Lei Gong were not spared.
Their fields were divided, their grain was confiscated, and their family properties were confiscated. Only the bonds purchased by these families were not touched by Lei Gong. Instead, Lei Gong did something that surprised them. Lei Gong spent money from the confiscated properties of those noble families.
Buy these bonds. The rich and powerful nobles in Youzhou will only have the property of buying the bonds. Of course, there is also a hidden benefit, they don’t have to be sent to the island to work as slaves in the mining industry!
After Guo Jia heard these things, he mocked: "Lei Gong doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell his bonds now. From now on, for the wealthy nobles of the Han Dynasty, their land and property will not be as safe as Lei Gong's bonds, even if it is to save their lives."
Nobles and nobles in other parts of the Han Dynasty would also buy Lei Gong's bonds and come up with such methods to make money. Lei Gong's nature as a businessman was several levels higher than that of the late emperor!"
Lei Gong's actions made Guo Jia understand that he wanted to wipe out the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty and replace them with his own henchmen to rule the Han Dynasty. There was no room for compromise between the two sides.
Even Lei Gong does not need them to take refuge. After all, Lei Gong has now occupied the two states of Han Dynasty. If he wants, there must be many noble families, powerful and poor families to join him, but even within the current scope of influence of the Tengjia Army
He did not accept the help of any powerful or even poor family from any noble family, which shows that Lei Gong has no intention of absorbing them. He just wants to eradicate the powerful noble families of the Han Dynasty. Even if he is from a poor family, I am afraid that he is within the scope of Lei Gong's annihilation.
Nei. Although his family is from a humble family, he is a legal giant in the Han Dynasty and is the target of Thunder God's annihilation.
So he gave up the idea of seeking refuge with Lei Gong. I wanted to observe Lei Gong's governing strategies and see what could be transferred to the Han Dynasty to improve the strength of the Han Dynasty!
However, Xi Zhong does not take this kind of thing seriously. Now is the time of transformation. Lei Gong will definitely replace his own people to rule the world. The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms during the Warring States Period were all in decline. Now the powerful clans of the Han Dynasty have declined.
What! This can only be regarded as a natural cycle. There is no dynasty that will never fall, and naturally there will be no family that will never fall.
Opera loyalists are the real poor family of the Han Dynasty. When I was a child, I was smart and quick at reading and literacy, so I was accepted by Xun Shuang, the headmaster of Yingchuan Academy, as an exception. In order to study, all three hundred acres of their family's land were sold. Now I might be able to get something by joining Lei Gong.
He earned the 30 acres of land no matter what, and he didn’t have any family. I even died young because I provided for him to study. As a single man, he was naturally not afraid of these policies.
Not long after, about 10 workers from the cement factory were lifting the cement boat slowly on the water!
At this time, something surprising happened to everyone. The cement boat really floated on the water.
The actor was surprised and said: "Am I right? A boat made of cement really floats on the water?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Guo Jia also lost his mind and said: "That's right! It really floats on the water!"
The people even knelt on the ground and shouted: "This is an immortal magic! Qu Shuai is performing an immortal magic!"
"Everyone, get up quickly, it's not a magic trick at all!" Xu Wei also knew the arguments among the people around him and felt that this was a good opportunity to popularize science, so he smiled and said to everyone: "I have heard all the arguments you have made these days.
Whether something can float depends not on its material, but its density. Anything with a lower density than water can float. The reason why a stone cannot float is because its density is higher than water, so
It will sink as soon as it hits the water. The reason why wood can float on the water is because the density of wood is lower than that of water, but the density can be changed. It is impossible for a square stone to float.
, if the middle of the stone is hollowed out, just like this cement ship, because there is nothing in the middle, the density of the cement ship will naturally be low. When the density of the cement ship drops water, the cement ship will naturally float! "
After Guo Jia and Xi Zhong finished playing, they suddenly realized that this was the case. They could understand the concept of density. The density of iron is higher than that of stone, and the density of stone is higher than that of water. They can draw such conclusions in their daily lives,
It's just that they are difficult to explain systematically.
The people around him were still confused after listening to it for a long time, as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
In the end Xu Wei could only say: "Everyone has a kettle, right? Can an empty kettle float on the water? This boat works on the same principle as a kettle!"
Xu Wei used a real kettle as an example, and everyone finally understood! Think of a kettle as a special-shaped boat. If the kettle can float on the water, then the boat can also float on the water.
This simple cement boat has about 500 materials. After it was launched, 10 fishermen took the fishing nets on board. Then they rowed the boats and headed for the Quanzhou fishing ground. After arriving at the fishing ground, dozens of big fish were thrown into the net.
, the fishermen caught more than a dozen nets and soon returned to Tianjin Pier with a full load!
"There are actually more than 300 stone fish in the sea!" The cement fishing boats that came back caused a sensation among everyone. They can see such harvests almost every day, but Tianjin lacks fishing boats. The dozen or so small fishing boats catch up to a thousand stone fish every day.
Only 60% to 70% of the fish can be used after being disemboweled, so the harvest is not huge, but now this fishing boat alone is almost equivalent to the previous four or five fishing boats!
The most important thing is that it only took three days to build such a large cement boat that is five times the size. They watched it built with their own eyes. It took more than one or two months to build a wooden boat.
The fishing grounds are so fast that there will be no shortage of fishing boats here in the future, and Tianjin’s fishing industry will explode!
And these people's guesses were correct. The cement fishing boat experiment was successful, and Xu Wei began to build the second batch of cement fishing boats. This time not only ten boats were built at the same time, but the number of fishing boats was also expanded into large fishing boats with a capacity of 1,000 pieces!
At the same time, Xu Wei also established an offshore fishing company to recruit fishermen along the coast of Quanzhou and even Youzhou.
Three days later, the cement boats were dried, and 10 large cement fishing boats went out to sea at the same time, catching seven or eight thousand kilos of marine fish in one day, which caused a sensation in the entire Tianjin Town. The marine fish industry chain in Tianjin Town finally started slowly.
Xi Zhong laughed when he saw this scene: "It seems that the Tengjia Army has even blocked its only shortcoming. If there is no accident, this world must belong to Thunder Lord!"
Guo Jia was also speechless. He could never imagine that the ocean could be an extremely huge granary. Not to mention that Tianjin's fishery production continued to increase. With the current production alone, the Tengjia Army could catch more than 200 fish from the ocean every year.
Ten thousand shi of sea fish is equivalent to millions of shi of extra food for the Tengjia Army.
Moreover, he knew even more clearly that the combat effectiveness of meat-eating soldiers and vegetarian soldiers were completely different. The production of sea fish in Tianjin could fully meet the meat-eating needs of the Tengjia Army soldiers. By then, their combat effectiveness would be even stronger. The big man
It will be even more difficult to resist the attack of the Tengjia Army!
