Chapter 337 Shipyard 3
Unexpectedly, Zu Xingzhi shook his head: "The old man is old, and he is no longer the ambition of the past. Now, after walking a little longer, I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and I can't do it."
Shit, what are you pretending up to now? Look at your expression when you see the steam engine, as if you saw gold. You still don't want to. When you knock on your door, look at your energy. You are simply a 60-year-old person. Your 30-year-old heart, can't you still work?
Zhang Yang knows that this ancestral gentleman still has some doubts. After all, what his identity is and what his purpose is. Although scientists do not ask about political affairs, I'm afraid they will not help him.
"Old gentleman, do you know who I am?" Zhang Yang suddenly asked.
"Ha ha." Zu Xingzhi brushed his beard: "I know from the time you entered my house that you are Zhang Shicheng, who is famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Since this morning, the magpie has been chirping on the branches of my house. I knew it was a nobleman.
Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy. Before he said anything, he guessed it.
"So, does the old gentleman know what I have done?"
"Lord Zhang divided the land and beat the tars, which made all Han people deeply feel the courage of Lord Zhang. However, why did Lord Zhang suddenly change and become the provincial Zuocheng?" Zu Xingzhi asked.
I knew that you asked, of course, I was in Cao Ying's heart in Han. Zhang Yang said, "Old sir, when I get to my position, I'm afraid I can't help myself. The necessary compromise is just a further stepping stone. You should understand, right?"
"Your Excellency, what are your plans for the future?" Zu Xingzhi asked.
"Is it the king's land under the whole world? From the day to the day, all the land is planted with the flag of our Han people." Zhang Yang said.
Zu Xing was shocked. He had already seen that this Lord Zhang's eyes were so far-reaching.
"The old man is really old." Zu Xingzhi said, "If you are 20 years younger, you must work for Lord Zhang. Please ask Lord Zhang to be smart."
At this time, the sun had slipped to the sky, and the red sunset reflected half of the sky, as if the blood in the chest was boiling.
"The sunset is infinitely good, but it's almost dusk!" Zu Xingzhi said this sentence silently. At this moment, it seems that he is really old.
He really wants to go, but after all, he is old and needs vigorous young people to do it.
The warship began to return with thick smoke.
Since the other party refused, Zhang Yang was not discouraged. He knew that there were some things that could not be forced. He also knew that there were some things that had a turnaround.
"Please stay, Lord Zhang. I'm not talented. I dare not let Lord Zhang see him off again." After getting off the boat, Zhang Yang wanted to send them home. Zu Xing refused to live or die. Probably he also knew that he was not righteous enough today.
"Then Mr. Zu, please take your time." Zhang Yang said.
"Brother, they are too faceless. It's better to arrest them, let him build a boat for us, and then let them go." Bian Yuanheng said angrily.
Zhang Yang took a look at Bian Yuanheng in surprise. If this came from Shixin or Tang He's mouth, he could accept it. Bian Yuanheng was not such a person. It seemed that he also wanted to have a new warship too much.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "How do you know that they don't want to?"
"Brother, what do you say?" Bian Yuanheng asked eagerly.
Zhang Yang spread out his palm, with a note on it, and a small word of Juanxiu appeared in front of him: "Tonight at noon, please wait under the willow trees in East Lane."
After the end of the willow on the moon, after dusk, this lovely Zu Qing still had such a hand. Zhang Yang was a little inexplicably excited: "Let's go, let's go back to the government office first."
The night is getting darker, and Zu Qing is still pestering Grandpa: "Grandpa, the steam engine on Lord Zhang's warship today is very suitable for driving the treasure ship. Don't you want to see your painstaking efforts become a reality?"
"Silly girl, look at you're happy." Zu Xingzhi said, "Do you know what Lord Zhang does?"
"Isn't it Zuo Cheng of the province now?" Zu Qing asked.
My granddaughter, with her family's ancestral tradition, loves these strange things very much, but they don't understand current affairs.
Today's society has been in constant turmoil, and the troubled times must be bloody. If the technology of your own shipbuilding is leaked, I'm afraid that the family will not be at peace from now on. In the south, warships are indispensable.
"You pack up, and we'll move tomorrow." Zu Xingzhi said.
"Grandpa, we live well. Why do we have to move?" Zu Qing doesn't understand.
"Do you know that Lord Zhang is a good match today? Since he didn't invite me today, I'm afraid he won't be at peace in the future. Since he can't agree, he has to hide. Zu Xingzhi said.
"Well, Grandpa is tired. Go and pack your things." Zu Xingzhi said.
The hope in Zu Qing's eyes has not been dashed. She has made up her mind.
From the mouth of the people, she has learned that this Lord Zhang, unlike other bureaucrats, is a good official purely for the people. Now, people in Pingjiang City are praising his kindness. When the New Year is divided, all people will live a good life.
She is more at ease with such a person.
More importantly, in this era, no one pays attention to these strange skills at all, I'm afraid Zhang Shicheng is the only exception.
Looking at the steam engine today, she was completely fascinated. She used coal to boil water, used water vapor to drive the piston, and used the roller to turn the reciprocating motion into rotation. The structure was simple, but it solved many problems, which surprised her.
In this world, some people are martial arts idiots, some people are love idiots, and a few people are technical idiots. There are few such people, but Zu Qing is.
She has made up her mind to follow Lord Zhang and integrate the simple and practical steam engine into the treasure ship. Grandpa has repeatedly revised the drawings of the treasure ship three times. It is very mature, but there is no suitable power. Grandpa doesn't want to use the wind, wind will be limited by the weather, such as If there is no wind, the ship will not be able to start at all. Against the wind, it requires the superb skills of the boatman.
And it is not suitable for large ships to use oars. When the boat is large, the oars are long. Several people go back and forth. It is too troublesome. The coordination of these boatmen is also very difficult, so the method of water wheel was invented. This inspiration also comes from waterwheels.
It's just that she always uses people as motivation. Today, she has been completely convinced when she sees this machine.
Zu Qing opened the door of the study, lit the candle, and took out the drawings of the treasure ship again.
The drawing of the large treasure ship, the captain is 44 feet and 4 feet wide and 18 feet. (according to the current unit, the captain is 139 meters and 56 meters wide) and the bottom tip is wide. It has a very good adaptability to harsh weather and strong winds and waves, and the amount of load is very huge, which can carry 50,000 stones of grain.
The drawing of the medium treasure ship, the captain is thirty-seven feet, the width is fifteen feet, the trumpet treasure ship, the captain is twenty-three feet, and the width is twelve feet.
There is a watertight cabin in the lower part. Even if there is a leak in one or two cabins, the ship can still operate normally.
How happy it would be if there was such a huge fleet to travel across the sea!
Zu Qing looked at the open drawings. Do you really want them to be annihilated in this cabinet together?
No, never! Zu Qing bit her lip and finally made up her mind.
Grandpa, don't blame me. It's not that Qingqing is unfilial, but that Qingqing really doesn't want you to waste your painstaking efforts.
Zu Qing picked up the drawing, pushed open the empty door, and walked out.
At this time, the moon has climbed up the willow shoots, and the ground is full of bright moonlight.
Next to the big tree at the entrance of the alley, a tall and straight man has been standing there for a long time.
Zhang Yang watched a petite figure come out of the yard, dressed in white and floated lightly, just like a fairy descending to the earth.
Zu Qing, you are really my fairy. If you can value me so much, I have to treat you well! Zhang Yang said in his heart, however, there was no obscene idea in Zhang Yang's heart. If he could get a shipbuilding expert, he would naturally treat it well.
Don't apply powder, but it is noble and elegant. Don't apply rouge, but the body is fragrant and light.
Zu Qing came to the tree and saw Lord Zhang who was already waiting there. She smiled and said, "Lord Zhang is really punctual."
"Zhang is very grateful to be valued by Miss Zu. First, ask Miss Zu to stay in the government for a few days. After the shipyard starts, he will start a new house for Miss Zu." Zhang Yang said.
"Lord Zhang, don't be polite. I'm just very curious about your steam engine. Can you give me insight into the mystery?" Zu Qing said with a smile.
"Ha ha, Miss Zu is quick to speak. As long as Miss Zu agrees to pick up a beam in the shipyard, the full set of plans for the steam engine must be mastered. The cooperation between the steam engine and the treasure ship must be precise. I will inform the craftsman who makes the steam engine and help you."
Zhang Yang was talking, but he saw that the door of his ancestral house was open, and the lights were suddenly bright inside.
"Grandpa!" Zu Qing's face suddenly turned pale.
Zhang Yang was also very embarrassed. He was just here to talk about everything when he went back. Now, he was caught by others. If he didn't know it, he must have thought that he was in a rendezvous with this Zu Qing. The next day, maybe the rumors would fly all over the street.
The guards in the dark have raised their vigilance and are ready at any time. If the ancestral father-in-law does not agree, they have to forcibly "protect" Miss Zu back.
This is the first time since Zhang Yang rose from the army that I feel that I have done something wrong.
"Lord Zhang, be safe and sound." Zu Xingzhi said to Zhang Yang first.
"Well, well, this, it's really okay." Zhang Yang said, "This, tonight's thing..."
"Lord Zhang." Zu Xingzhi interrupted Zhang Yang's words: "Since Qingqing is willing to work for Lord Zhang, I have nothing to say. Lord Zhang acts openly and openly, and I should not be so corrupt. I have seen it for a long time that Lord Zhang will definitely achieve a great career!"
"This, since Mr. Zu agrees, it can't be better." Zhang Yang said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Zu."
"Tw a minute." Zu Xingzhi said, "However, Lord Zhang has to agree to my request."
"Mr. Zu, please say, don't say one thing, even if it's a hundred pieces, I can agree."
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Yang suddenly felt that there were five thunderbolt when this sentence came out. People in this era also have a very good surname!
"Once Qingqing works for Lord Zhang, I'm afraid she will have to give it to Lord Zhang for the rest of her life. Therefore, I have the courage to ask Lord Zhang to take Qingqing as his wife."
