Chapter 53 Dream

Don't show mercy, don't show mercy. Sun Shao was stunned. He put his father and son under house arrest on the spot, and then sent people to Hepu County warehouse to count and store grain. After a short time, the news came back. There were no 130,000 stones in the county warehouse, only more than 50,000. So here comes the question. Where did the remaining 80,000 go?

Sun Shao announced that he would temporarily take over the post of Taishou of Hepu and threw all the people into the prison. He suspected that Shiyi and his son were enemies and wrote to the assassinate the governor's office for impeachment. At the same time, he asked Bu Qian to rush to Hepu to deal with relevant affairs immediately.

This move, like a common hurricane in Hepu, disrupted the situation in Hepu in an instant. At first, the gentry suspected that it was Sun Shao who was framing the Shi family. After all, the Shi family had been in Jiaozhou for nearly 30 years, and it was certain to plunder money, but it was not enough to collude with pirates. However, Sun Shao exposed the wrong account of Shiyi in public that day, and later posted a huge deficit. Everyone really couldn't figure out where the 80,000 stone grain could go. After thinking about it, there is only one way for the enemy.

This makes the Hepu people mad. After a long time, the Shi family and the pirates are in the same group. They cut a knife in white and another knife in the black. This is too cruel. The angry heroes reported to Sun Shao one after another. In this investigation, the gap was not 80,000 stones, and the total amount was as high as 800,000 stones, which made Sun Shao shocked. Damn it, I'm much more wronged than Cui Qian. If I hadn't shake this matter out, the 800,000 stones would have fallen on my head. If you really do this, it's strange that the heroes don't do it to me in the end.

Sun Shao is very lucky that if he did what he did before, he would be killed by Shi Yi this time, and the end would definitely be much worse than a step. In the past, I felt that Bu Qian was incompetent, but now it's not that Bu Qian is incompetent. It's that he has no strength. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Bu Qian's viciousness will be much more ruthless than himself.

Therefore, people must have strength.

Sun Shao tried again and again, and suddenly blocked Xuwen City. In the past two days, Xuwen City was bustling. Sun Shao settled in with sailors, and pirates, large and small, fled. Xu Wen's safety index was greatly improved. The merchants rushed to trade before the hurricane season, and the pirates were also eager to get rid of the goods in their hands and replaced them. Money and grain, ready to escape from Sun Shao's soldiers. However, none of them expected that Sun Shao suddenly sent troops to encircle Xu Wenshi and investigate one by one. He was really a businessman. He continued to go back to do business. His history was unknown, and even those who were obviously not as good-looking as good people were all detained and imprisoned in Xuwen County, waiting to be dealt with. Of course, there are mistakes in this, but it is undeniable that almost all the pirate spies who came to Xu Wen to inquire about the news were caught.

Pulling tightly, Sun Shao gave another order. In view of the rampant pirates and the hurricane season is approaching, a sea ban was issued near Hepu County. Ordinary people are not allowed to go to the sea at will. If there are special circumstances, they must go to the sailors to get their vouchers, otherwise they will be killed on the spot when they are seen by the sea patrolling. At the same time, Sun Shao, with the order of General Fubo, notified Jiaokan, the three counties of Yanan and Jiuzhen, to implement a sea ban together. The grain needed to be collected was escorted by the sailors of each county. If they were robbed by pirates, the governors and lieutenants of the county should bear full responsibility. This is not the case. Sun Shao ordered that the grain collected by each county must publish the specific accounts in the local area. Those who are greedy in the name of expropriating pirates will be severely punished.

In just over a month, the atmosphere in Jiaozhou has completely changed.

In mid-June, Jiaozhou assassin Buqi rushed to Hepu. As soon as he saw Sun Shao, he smiled rarely: "Fengxian, you can do it. I thought you were going to deal with Shi Yi for a while, but I didn't expect you to take him directly as soon as you took action."

Sun Shao smiled proudly: "This old guy treats me as an idiot. Who can I do if I don't treat him? Mr. Fu, you came too timely. I'm worried about how to inform Shi Xie about this.

Bu Qian had a plan for a long time, and he waved his hand easily: "The evidence is conclusive. I'm sorry that he doesn't dare to play tricks. Just wait. His letter of guilt will arrive soon. However, Feng Xian, when things come to this point, you have no way out. If you can't succeed in the campaign this time, you and I will be ugly. Shi Xie is not easy to bully.

"I'm not afraid." Sun Shao spread out his hands with an indifferent expression: "At worst, I will pat my buttocks and leave, and the governor will be miserable. You have to clean up all the mess."

Bu Qian is angry and funny. He is an unsmiling person, but when he is with Sun Shao, he can't be serious, so he has to ignore Sun Shao's inadvertentness and say bluntly, "There is Zhang Gong in Nanhai County, so I'm relieved. I came to Hepu this time to help you completely calm Cui Qian. I have already put the assassin's office. I have brought all of them. Put the Assassin's Mansion in Hepu for the time being and sit in the rear for you. As for Xu Wenling, you can find a suitable candidate.

Sun Shao glanced at him obliquely: "It's just Xu Wenling. I thought you would let me lead Hepu Taishou on my behalf."

Bu Qian was stunned for a moment. He looked at Sun Shao unexpectedly. When did Sun Shao take the initiative to become an official? This is very different from what he did before. Seeing that he was surprised, Sun Shao laughed and motioned to Yu Fan. Yu Fan pulled off the seal of Hepu Taishou, which had been hanging for a few days from his waist, and put it in front of Bu Qian. He smiled maliciously, "Mr. The hurricane is coming. You can be careful."

Bu Qian didn't react for a moment. Sun Shao and Yu Fan had already left. An old man and a young man went out side by side, and their happy laughter came. Bu Qian was stunned there, looking at the marks in his hand, and always felt a little scared.

They won't set a trap for me, will they?

"Zishan, why am I a little scared?" Wei Jing looked at Bu Qian with the same uneasy eyes, "When did Yu Fan become like this? I haven't seen him smile at anyone before. That old face looks like everyone owes him money.

"Ziqi, don't talk nonsense. Yu Zhongxiang is not easy to mess with." Bu Qian pretended to be calm and interrupted Wei Jing's words. He sat down and thought about it, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Wei Jing's words made sense. Yu Fan's famous is not easy to get along with. To put it better, it's an ancient straightforward style. It's not pleasant to say it. That's annoying. Why does he get along so well with Sun Shao? The two get along very well with each other. And what he said was too scary. Yu Fan's wisdom is as famous as his temper, and his judgment can be said to be superhuman. When Sun Ce died, he was Fu Chunchang. At that time, many officials were ready to return to Wu County for the funeral. Only he decided to stay in office, so he avoided a disaster. Now he says that a hurricane is coming - not a hurricane at sea, of course, but a political hurricane - then there must be a hurricane.

Bu Qian suddenly found that he hurried over and made a miscalculation. Sun Shao made a big fight in Xu Wen. The matter was finished and the grievances were settled. He just bumped in and took over the seal of the Hepu Taishou. He was going to deal with the aftermath for Sun Shao. Is it so easy to deal with the aftermath? Shi Xie is not that aggressive. If you want to stop Shi Xie, there is only one way, that is, to support Sun Shao to win the battle. In any case, you can't lose. Otherwise, Sun Shao can pat his buttocks and walk, and he will be finished.

It's too late to regret.

Sun Shao was relieved. He was soaked in the military camp every day. He either watched Lu Ji play with measuring instruments, teach students, or discuss knowledge, or teased several of his subordinates to compete. Yuehai, Su's thick legs and Chen Hai were not the masters of anyone. They all felt that they were the best at fighting under Sun Shao, especially Yuehai. He was unhappy when he saw Su's thick legs. Su's thick legs robbed the Houguan shipyard, which directly led to his demotion, so he often had trouble with Su's thick legs. Su's thick legs did not pay attention to him. As soon as he was happy, he was happy. Driving the building boat robbed from Houguan Shipyard, he swaggered across the market in front of the sea. If you don't like each other, you will naturally have to fight, so the martial arts competition is inevitable. At first, it is just better than the skill of sailing. It depends on who is faster and who turns more flexibly. It depends on who can achieve a certain goal first. Later, it changed. With a certain island as the imaginary goal, one attack and one defense. Later, Sun Shao locked them in the cabin first. Then take it to the sea and give a small boat. Whoever can come back by himself first will win. If he can't find the direction, he will be fined a month's pay if he comes back with a distress signal.

Training is carried out in this battle between true and false. While the naval warfare technology is becoming more and more proficient, the three people who were not recognized gradually became familiar with each other and had a tacit understanding with each other. In July, the last test of the new warship was quietly launched.

After feeling that a hurricane was approaching, Sun Shao asked people to drive a building boat into the sea and anchor it. Then all the staff hid on the nearby island and hid it in the bunker that had been dug in advance. Five thousand miles of eyes lined up. Ge Heng took the most skilled technicians to observe the situation of the building ship in turn. What's more. Sun Shao, Yu Fan and others nestled in the low inner room, nervously waiting for the result.

"Can it work?" Chen Hai rubbed his hands, took a look at the slowly dark outside, and the corners of his eyes kept jumping. He has never been to the sea before, but there is also a strong wind in the Yangtze River. Once there is a strong wind, the building and ship will enter the port to avoid it for a while, otherwise it will probably turn over. Sun Shao modified all the buildings and boats. The most obvious thing in the appearance was that the third and fourth floors were removed. All the buildings and boats had only two floors, and the bottom of the buildings and boats were weighed, which was conducive to preventing the hull from overturning, but Sun Shao also reduced the width of the buildings and boats, which was not conducive to preventing overturning. The larger the aspect ratio of the hull, the more conducive it is to improving the speed. The smaller the aspect ratio, the more stable it is. In the past, the building ship did not grow at the speed and the wind length. In order to increase the stable surname, it was generally wider. The widest ship can reach one-third or even two-fifths of the length. Now Sun Shao unified the aspect ratio of the ship to five to one, which is Small and medium-sized warships are very common, but they have never been seen on building ships.

"There is no problem with the simulation test." Sun Shao felt that his mouth was a little dry, but he still said confidently, "I think it should work."

"If it really can be done, even if there is wind in the future, we can go to sea. Don't be like this now. As soon as there is a bigger wind, we will enter the port for temporary shelter." Yuehai held his legs, clicked his lips, and calculated the war: "We can also attack when we are relaxing. Seven buildings suddenly appeared outside his water village. This boy must be very shocked."

"I hope to succeed, not only because of the urge. This boy is just a group of pirates at best. It's not that we can't beat him, but we can't find him. As long as you lead him out and surround him, you will definitely kill him. Sun Shao smiled faintly and looked at the leaves pulled by the wind outside and the rolling waves on the sea. He said quietly, "If this ship can withstand a certain amount of strong wind, we can cross the sea and no longer have to go around the coast, so that we can walk a lot of wronged roads."

Su's thick legs pricked her feet and said no word. She listened to the wind outside and looked focused.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger. The wind wheel that measures the wind speed outside turns, and the wind leaves can hardly be seen clearly, making an unbearable squeak. There was a huge wave on the sea, and the boat in the distance shook more and more, making people feel that it could be overturned by a wave at any time. But every time after the huge wave passed, when everyone thought it had turned over, it miraculously regained its balance and welcomed the next wave. None of the people hidden in the bunker said anything. They raised their eyes and stared at the building boat in the distance. It was dark and he couldn't see his fingers. If Sun Shao hadn't installed fixed wind lamps in several parts of the building boat, they would not have seen anything at all. Now, people can reluctantly rely on a few bright spots. It is to find out whether the building ship is still safe and sound.

"These dozens of golds are really worth it." Yue Hai said with emotion.

"Hey hey hey, money is to be used on the blade." Su's thick leg stabbed him.

In order to prevent the angry wind lamp from being broken by the waves, the glass on the lampshade needs to be very thick, and too thick glass will produce all kinds of defective products with poor light transmission. In order to make these wind lamps, Sun Shao spent dozens of gold on glass alone, and finally picked out this point. The discarded glass is piled. However, since Sun Shao is willing to use a building boat to do experiments, these dozens of gold glazes are naturally not a problem.

He crossed the sea and had no time to refute. His eyes were on Qianli's eyes. He stared at the highlights looming in the waves and held his breath. The roaring wind outside lengthned the sound, stimulating everyone's diaphragm, and also stimulating everyone's heart. They no longer spoke, and their hearts were raised to their throats, waiting anxiously for the final result.

The wind is getting tighter and tighter, blowing sand and stones outside the bunker. Nothing can be seen in front of you. The dark clouds are rolling, and the whole heaven and earth has turned into a mass of ink. It is no longer clear where the sky is and where the sea is. From time to time, trees up pulled up by the wind passed in front of the bunker, making all kinds of strange sounds, as if there were ghosts crying outside. Although the waves could not hit the bunker, the air was full of moisture. Coupled with psychological tension, in a short time, everyone's clothes were stuck to their bodies, and the wetness made people feel very uncomfortable.

"I can't see it." I don't know who said in a very depressed voice.

No one spoke, and they all held up thousands of miles of eyes to search carefully.

"Maybe the lamp has been blown out?"

"It's impossible. The lamp is embedded in the hull. Besides, it can't be completely broken. Now I can't see a bright spot."

"Maybe it's too dark. The wind and waves are strong outside. When the wind is smaller, you may be able to see it again."

"I hope so."

A flash of lightning crossed the sky like a snake, illuminating between heaven and earth. At the same time, a loud "click" made the whole bunker seem to shake and interrupt their conversation. Then, the torrential rain fell from the sky, and the dense rain curtain completely blocked their sight. The originally sultry air was immediately washed away, and a wisp of refreshing sea breeze blew into the sultry bunker.

"Don't look, just wait." Sun Shao was the first to put down his eyes. Then, Yu Fan also put it down. Several people gathered in a circle. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little suppressed. Sun Shao glanced at them and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"

"It doesn't feel... very good. It should be heavy." He slyed across the sea. Su's thick legs nodded without saying anything. Chen Hai turned pale and experienced a hurricane for the first time. Although he was not at sea, he was still shocked.

"Ha ha ha, you guys, you only know whether the ship sinks or not as the standard, but you don't know when the ship sinks." Sun Shao laughed and added a bit of anger to the suppressed space: "The wave has three feet of waves, five feet of waves, eight feet of waves, one foot of waves, two feet of waves, three feet of waves, five feet of waves. When this sinks is also very important."

"When did it sink? A haven't they all sank?"

"No." Sun Shao shook his head calmly, and there was no sign of regret for the ship. The original building ship can withstand up to five feet of waves. Now as long as it can withstand eight feet of waves, our improvement will be effective and can continue to improve in the future. Does it mean that you must be able to withstand three feet of waves, and five feet of waves to resist the wind and waves?

Yuehai and others looked at each other. Although they thought it was novel, they could accept it. It's better to make progress than not.

"General, according to the wind and waves, it should be..." Ge Heng turned around, and his chest was full of water.

"Wait, you wipe the water first, and let's make a bet first." Sun Shao stopped Ge Heng, casually handed over a hand towel, and then took out five coins from his purse and patted it on the case: "I guess it's an eight-foot wave."

Yu looked over and also took out five pieces of money from his purse and patted it on the case: "A ten feet of waves."

Yuehai and others looked at each other and laughed. They each took out five pieces of money to shoot on the case. Yue Hai guessed a foot and five feet, and Su's thick legs guessed a foot of waves. Only Chen Hai was the least sure and only guessed five feet of waves.

"What's the answer?"

Ge Heng looked at them with a smile, reached out and rolled up all the money on the case, looked at them, and put a few of them behind him. Then he turned his head and said with a proud smile, "Er Zhang."

"Two feet of waves?" Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, the anemometer shows that the last time I saw the ship was still there, it was a two-foot wave." Ge Heng smiled and said, "We can know the specific result when the wind stops, but I estimate that there will definitely be no problem with the two-foot wave, and maybe it can withstand the two-foot wave."

Sun Shao, Yue Hai and others looked at each other and were ecstatic. If it can withstand the waves, it means that as long as the ship is not particularly lucky, there should be no problem if it does not encounter extreme bad weather in the South China Sea.

"Wait for the final result." Sun Shao was inexplicably excited.

Several people talked excitedly, waiting for the arrival of the dawn. The atmosphere in the suppressed stone room was a little excited, and they were excited in their voices, and even Yu Fan looked very happy. Although no one said it, they all vaguely realized that if this building ship test really reached the level of resisting two feet of waves, then they could run across the South China Sea with only the remaining six building ships. If we do some more improvements, it is completely possible for their sailor to realize Sun Shao's dream, cross the sea, until the Qin Dynasty in the far west, and even complete the dream of a circle around the earth.

"General, you said that the earth is really round. Can you make a detour?" Yu asked in an astringent voice.

"Mr., why don't you verify it yourself?" Sun Shao asked with a smile.
