Travel to the Water Margin

Chapter 49 Come here, take the surveyor to worship the sky

"Your Majesty," Gao Qiu pretended to read it up and down, and said with a look of astonishment: "Okay! Good! Good! Both are national policies that benefit the country and the people! I think that two copies should not be buried, and should be buried." Inside out!"

"Anne Yangwai?" Wei Zong's eyes flickered, and he looked at Gao Qi expectantly.

Am I right?Gao Qiu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Annei, it's also about farming, and the common people will recuperate as soon as they have land."

Gao Qiu straightened his beard, and the more he talked, the more excited he became: "Show off to other countries in the world the power of our Great Song Dynasty, like the flourishing Tang dynasty that governs the world and a hundred countries come to court, why not talk about it for one side?"

"Okay, okay! Gao Aiqing really knows me!" Wei Zong laughed and waved his hand: "Come here."

"Your Majesty." The Grand Duke stepped forward slowly and bowed.

"Gao Qiu's golden thousand taels!"

The Grand Duke's eyes froze, and he immediately accepted the order.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Qiu was even more excited, bowing to Wei Song.

Cai Jing and Tong Guan's old faces darkened immediately.

Straight girl thief.

The fruit was picked.

In the imperial palace, the civil and military ministers stood side by side with different expressions, each with his own thoughts.

It is a small matter to recover Shenzhou.

However, the opening of world trade through Shenzhou has stirred up thousands of waves in the court.

For some, it seemed as if the entire sky had fallen.

But for others, it is to see the blue sky through the clouds and mists.

Ministers from all walks of life are secretly considering that a new pattern has emerged and a new round of lining up is about to begin.

A week later, the sky was clear and clear, which is a good day for a hang surveyor.

"Woo~~Crackling."

"so big!"

"Humans are like ants!"

Bursts of firecrackers resounded throughout the docks of the shipbuilding port, and hundreds of people roared joyfully, standing on the shore in groups, watching the big Shenzhou ship that was gradually leaving in front of it.

On the seven-foot-high mast, six hard sails were stretched out in an orderly manner under the operation of skilled sailors. There were also several sails stretched out on the bow and flanks.

Blowing by the sea breeze, the Shenzhou started to stand still, then slowly increased its speed, and then gradually, like a sharp arrow shot out, it cut through the sea water and drove towards the distant sea level with high spirits, bringing melodious white waves.

"There is no water in the interior cabin!"

“No deck tilt!”

"The draft is within the estimate!"

After a series of measurements and inspections, the voices reached Lin Youde's ears one by one, bringing a bright smile on his face.

"My lord, the wind is favorable at this time, and the speed of the ship has basically reached the expectation!"

"Haha! The water test was successful!"

Lin Youde sat on Shenzhou 1 and applauded, then turned to Wu Song and said, "Tower crane... no, Wu Song, you can put Master Zhu down."

"Yes, my lord."

As Wu Song spoke, he picked up an axe, shouted loudly, and cut off a thick cable.

With a "click", a black figure slid down from the mainsail.

"Woooo, no leak! No leak! Woooo." The tied-up master Zhu burst into tears as he kept climbing on the deck.

Woohoo, no reason!No reason!
He finally knew that people in the world are sinister!
The good brother who was drinking, eating and dancing together last night dragged him out of the bed before dawn this morning.

Then Lin Youde came to him and said:

"Haha! Master Zhu! Don't be angry, you know? In my hometown, surveyors are used to sacrifice to heaven at such times!"

Lin Youde patted Master Zhu on the shoulder earnestly, and tidied up his clothes carefully.

"Woooo, what are you doing! Let me go!!!"

Master Zhu was terrified. Since they ignored his 40-year-old age, they directly tied him up on the mainsail and swayed in the wind.

"Damn! Wu Song, I'm in vain introducing you to a daughter-in-law! I'm never done with you!"

Wu Song whistled, Mr. Lin asked me to do this, don't blame me.

"Come on! Bring the boat back! Let Mr. Zhao come and test the voyage!"

The huge sails are like clouds hanging from the sky, falling from mid-air to the world.

On the pier, Zhao Jinfu couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation when he saw two giant Shenzhou ships sailing into the pier one after the other.

The two huge ships slowly entered the dock one after the other. The length of the ship was more than 30 feet, the depth was 60 feet, and the width was 400 feet.

The two giant ships are five-masted sailing ships with hard sails and soft sails.

Lin Youde also specially added a small sail.

After Master Zhu's proposal, in order to obtain the maximum wind force, Lin Youde specially added small sails, which can be turned to the left and right sides.

In order to keep the giant ship stable in the wind and waves, two rows of large buckets for water storage are attached to both sides of the ship.

Considering that there may be wind and waves, the giant ship will sway violently, so a swimming anchor is also prepared to reduce the sway.

There is a saying that laymen command experts, and those who look at the mountains run dead horses.

Lin Youde was insane, and under Master Zhu's stern refusal, he gave two Shenzhou boats

Installed main rudder and auxiliary rudder.

As a result, Master Zhu took a look and said, Hey, it’s pretty good. How about adding another one?So we can just turn around and run?

Lin Youde kicked him up. You are really talented. You are installing the rudder on the bow of the ship.

The whole Shenzhou is high at the front and low at the back, pointed at the front and wide at the back. The rear part is a large cabin, and even the windows are carved with exquisite carvings.

"Okay, okay." Zhao Jinfu couldn't help admiring as he stepped on the brand-new Shenzhou.

"Master Zhao, after testing, the two Shenzhou boats are ready to go to sea." Lin Youde said as he handed over various inspection documents to the craftsman.

Praise me quickly, praise me quickly.

"Well, yes, this boat is not bad." Zhao Jinfu nodded.

"My lord? What's the next step?" Lin Youde looked at Zhao Jinfu who was curiously touching the deck of Shenzhou.

"Report to the superior, hahaha!" Zhao Jinfu stood up with a groan.

He can afford to wait, Da Song can't afford to wait, Xixia, Daliao, and Dajin are watching.

When the Bianliang [-]-mile urgent report was handed over to Weizong, it was already the second day after the court.

"Report! Your Majesty. The one from Dengzhou handed it over." The Grand Duke stepped forward and handed over a memorial.

Wei Zong opened it suspiciously, Father, the construction of the two Shenzhou boats in Dengzhou has been completed, and the water trials are correct, please let Father know.

"Good good."

Weizong told the news of the completion of the construction of the Shenzhou on the spot to the two people below who had their own ghosts.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, Shenzhou was born, and when the Liao Dynasty was in decline and the Jin Dynasty was flourishing, I suggested taking the Shenzhou boat to enter the Kingdom of Jin through Gaoguli in the name of buying military horses!" Cai Jing immediately woke up from the shock, and immediately suggested.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! This method is feasible! On the surface, it does not attract the attention of all parties, but it can also sneak in." Tong Guan also patted his thigh in agreement.

"Okay, okay, but," Weizong was puzzled again: "Who is it appropriate to send there?"

"This..." Cai Jing froze for a moment, rolled his eyes, none of his men and horses in Dengzhou were qualified to go to Gaoguli as an envoy, it was really difficult.

"Your Majesty, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. I suggest that an official from Dengzhou be transferred to take up this important task." Tong Guan clasped his fists and said.

"Your Majesty," Cai Jing knelt down and said, "I have the audacity to suggest that Her Majesty Di Ji, who is currently in Dengzhou, be sent as an envoy."

"Is it too dangerous for Jin'er to go there?" Weizong's eyes flickered, it was too dangerous for Jin'er and his daughter's house to go there, and I was so angry.Could it be that there is no one available to me in Song Dynasty?
"This is an unusual move, Your Majesty," Cai Jing stepped forward suddenly, "We can send an elite army to guard the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager of a country will serve as an ambassador to negotiate with the Kingdom of Jin. I think this is in line with the etiquette of our great country."

"Who to send?" Weizong frowned.

"Yaoren! And the dog."
