Zhen Ping nodded and said: "Of course it's feasible, just build a big ship and control the river section. Yizhou is indeed in the pocket of the adults. No wonder the adults came to Wanghai City. It turns out that the adults have plans long ago, with far-reaching vision, and the villain admires them. "

"I never thought about taking control of Yizhou," Lin Bei said.

"Why?" Zhen Ping asked strangely.

"There is no reason, I just don't want to, but I want the people of Yizhou."

Zhen Ping couldn't help laughing, this lord's thinking is really strange, he doesn't want to take control of Yizhou, but wants the people of Yizhou, is it because he wants to move all the people of Yizhou to Wanghai City?Lin Bei seemed to understand what Zhen Ping was thinking, and nodded, "It's exactly what you thought."

In fact, the reason why Lin Bei didn't want to settle in Yizhou was because Yizhou was probably already favored by Liu Yan. Liu Yan was a clan member of the Han family. Although Liu Hong died and his two sons were kidnapped, the Liu family has not yet completely fallen. Liu Yan, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, still had a great influence. He belonged to the kind of person that Zhen Ping said was the kind of person who would gather followers when he ascended the heights. Liu Yan was not an incompetent person. Now that the waterway from Wanghai City to Yizhou is opened, I don’t know how long it will take. Maybe it will be opened at that time. Liu Yan has already managed Yizhou like an iron bucket. It would be good to get some people back. To take control of Yizhou, unless Lin Bei and Liu Yan go to war, and may have to face an endless stream of heroes who want to kill him to become famous in the world.

"Then if you want the people of Yizhou, you need to hurry up. Have the aborigines been conquered by your lord?" Zhen Ping asked.

Lin Bei shook his head, and said dejectedly: "Not yet, Wanghai City now only controls the river for more than two thousand miles, which is far from Yizhou. The reason is that there are too few ships..."

Zhen Ping could only smile wryly, what is this lord implying?In the end, Zhen Ping really gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, I, Mrs. Zhen, have always been on good terms with my lord. A few days ago, my lord gave me some advice on Mrs. Zhen. Let’s make the decision, send some ships and adults, and please accept them.”

Lin Bei was taken aback, this guy is so generous?Ship?

"How many ships?"

"This time I still brought fifty large ships, why don't I give my lord forty. It's a mere gift, it's not a respect."

"But Zhen Rong's intention?"

"It's not the patriarch's intention, but the villain's intention." Zhen Ping's face was calm. He had already written a letter to Zhen Rong. Although Zhen Rong replied, he just asked Zhen Ping to thank Lin Bei for his kind deeds. , did not say anything else, it can be seen that Zhen Rong is still optimistic about Yuan Shao, and Lin Bei is still in the back, but after Zhen Ping and Zhen Ding communicated, both of them felt that the Dragon God was stronger than Yuan Shao, and there was still some Hesitating whether to go against Zhen Rong's intentions, Lin Bei repeatedly hinted that there would be no boats, and Zhen Ping gritted his teeth. Giving charcoal in the snow is more meaningful than icing on the cake.

Chapter 268 Master Craftsman

Zhen Ping left Fountain Island.

"This Zhen Ping is interesting." Lin Bei thought to himself, because Lin Bei heard what Zhen Ping meant, and these forty large ships were presented by Zhen Ping in his own name, not in the name of Zhen's.

This means that Zhen Ping is more optimistic about him, but the Zhen family or the head of the Zhen family, Zhen Rong, is not optimistic, or not the most optimistic. Zhen Rong values ​​​​the Yuan family more, and believes that Yuan Shao is the one who has the best chance of winning that seat. .

"I have to say, Zhen Rong's vision is not very good."

Lin Bei doesn't comment on Zhen Ping's vision, because Lin Bei himself is not sure whether he has that ability, but Yuan Shao, Lin Bei is sure, this guy is really bad, Yuan Shao was so beautiful back then, sitting on four The land of the state was defeated in the first battle of Guandu, and his character determined his achievements. At best, Yuan Shao was only a talented governor of a state, no matter how high he was.

"Besides, the Zhen family is not harmonious. At least Zhen Ping and Zhen Rong have disagreements. Could it be that Zhen Ping was dispatched to South Vietnam by Zhen Rong? If that's the case, Zhen Ping is available."

The more wealthy the family, the more ruthless the internal fighting may be. If this is the case, then Lin Bei is not surprised at all. Zhen Ping is knowledgeable, and has a good understanding of customs and customs in various places. He is indeed a talent. If possible, Lin Bei doesn't mind pulling him to Wanghai City, and using the power of the Zhen family to find out news and accumulate wealth for Wanghai City, but for the time being, Zhen Ping is still loyal to the Zhen family. , can only draw it slowly.

In mid-January, the rice in Wanghai City matured again. This time the rice output was not high, perhaps only one-third of the previous output. Although it proved that three crops a year were possible, Lin Bei still ordered An Loyalty.Sow rice only twice in the next year, so as not to get twice the result with half the effort.

Also at this time, the aborigines made trouble and rebelled. The leader was the aborigines from the tribes that Cui Lan attacked with fire. The funny thing is that the rebellion was reported by the aborigines.It was the natives of the Wabo tribe who were first arrested to inform the people, so before the rebellion was fully launched, they were brutally suppressed by the Dragon God Army, killing more than [-] natives, all of whom were captured later. a batch.

After suppressing the indigenous rebellion, Bian Ji came up with a plan to let the six thousand indigenous people who already had a sense of belonging to Wanghai City rest for three days, with meat for every meal. There are more than [-] indigenous people, and they have been starved for three days.Only some thin porridge is given every day, and these aborigines are so hungry that they scream. This kind of difference in treatment immediately divided the aborigines completely. Some of the newly captured aborigines hated the Wanghai people even more, but they transferred this hatred to the aboriginals.There are also some who have been honest this time, and they are eager to learn from their compatriots in front of them.Try to get closer to Wanghai City.

"Zhongzhi, let the sergeants pay attention. If there are some natives who perform well and work particularly hard, you might as well promote them and let them be supervisors. Let the natives monitor the natives." Lin Bei also mentioned With a suggestion, An Zhong bluntly said that the adults are wise.

Then An Zhongzhi asked the sergeants to tell the indigenous people that he would promote some of them to be supervisors, so that they would not have to work, and might be bestowed by Lord Dragon God.An exception was made to allow Qi to join Wanghai City and become a member of the Wanghai people. Just some small profits drove the aborigines crazy. For a long period of time, Wanghai City didn't have to worry about these aborigines rebelling again.

This incentive really stimulated the indigenous people, and even led them to work harder.

Wanghai City is still building roads.

From Linbei to this era, I have a special passion for road construction. When I was in Xishan Township, I built roads. When I came to Wanghai City, I still built roads. When there was no cement, I built roads. When there was cement, I built roads even more. Moreover, the current road is getting wider and wider, from the initial five-zhang road to the current seven-zhang road. The reason why it is so wide has a lot to do with the rhinoceros incident a few days ago.

A few days ago, some rhinos began to gather in many sections of Nanshan Road. These rhinos would not actively attack people, but just liked to lie on the road to bask in the sun. Even if they were driven away, they would come back. Not only rhinos, but also some bison And the herd of deer came along, and some sergeants even reported that they saw some crocodiles, and then there were also long-nosed beasts passing by Nanshan Road. Hit and cause a car accident...

For this matter, everyone still attaches great importance to it. First, they considered whether to build some wooden fences on the side of the road, and then Lin Bei vetoed it. With the strength of the wooden fence, it is impossible to stop these beasts like tanks. In the end, I simply planned to use cement to build a cement wall to seal both sides of the road.

Then Lin Bei asked a question, how high should the concrete wall be?This problem caused Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi to directly retreat. They have to admit that at this stage, Wanghai City has no energy to do such thankless things. Unless Lin Bei ordered the soldiers to kill these beasts, as long as the large-scale hunting Once again, these beasts will naturally scare away.

However, it is clear that Lin Bei would not issue such an order. From Lin Bei's point of view, this is actually a good thing. The existence of the road has attracted the gathering of wild beasts. Through the number of wild beasts on the road, one can even roughly know the number of wild animals in the forest. When there are many wild beasts, you can kill more wild beasts. When there are few wild beasts, you can stop hunting for a period of time. This is much more cost-effective than setting up a wild beast observation station. Make room and widen the road.

In the long run, the road width of five feet is definitely not enough, so I simply took this opportunity to widen the road, so the road became seven feet. Of course, the road width of Nanshan Road will not change. The seven-foot-wide road was built from the dense forest transfer station.

This time, the road construction project will be even bigger. Lin Bei is planning to build a forest-filled road network in the dense forests on the east and west sides of the Mekong River, and it will extend to the farthest river channel that Wanghai City can control today. , that is, Vientiane City, the capital of Myanmar in later generations, the road has not yet been repaired, and Lin Bei has already named these two roads, namely Wanjiang East Road.Wanjiang West Road to distinguish the locations of these two roads.

These two roads will be the main roads between Linjiang City and Vientiane City in the future, and the length of each road should exceed two thousand miles, plus the surrounding branch roads and bridge roads connecting the two roads. More than six or seven thousand miles is too normal.Maybe even thousands of miles.

This length is of course astonishing, but if the road is built, the benefits will be quite huge, because it means direct access, resources from any place in the forest can be used in any city on the main road through these two main roads, At the same time, if there is a war, these two main roads can also provide rapid support.

Through the plan to build these two roads, Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi also thoroughly understood Linbei's development strategy.That is to rely on fast traffic to control the subordinates, and wherever the taxi goes, the road must go there.

This strategic policy has become both fast and stable under the premise of cement and steam vehicles. Wanghai City now has more than [-] indigenous people. Indigenous people, the two trunk roads are expected to be completed within half a year.In addition to the road network around the main road, the length does not exceed six thousand miles.It can be completed in about ten months, which is an amazing speed.

In ten months, a road with a length of nearly 2 miles and a width of seven feet will be built. If there is no cement and steam vehicles, only [-] or [-] people will be used.And it is still in the forest, and it is estimated that it will not be repaired in hundreds of years, but now, it will be completed within a year, and the efficiency has increased hundreds of times.

"One year? In just one year, we can have a good road for thousands of miles?" Both Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi thought it was a dream.

Lin Bei disagreed.I think this is normal, and this is where I am, I haven’t even arrived in Dali, and Bangladesh and Shendu are also far away. If all of them are repaired, it will take at least more than [-] miles, and it will take [-] miles to complete. Only one-fifth of it has been repaired, and it is far from the goal.

During the period when Lin Bei came to Fountain Island, the road construction did not stop, and the progress was quite fast. With the enthusiasm of the indigenous people, more than 100 miles of cement roads could be paved every day, which is already the fastest speed. After all, although cement is made in a simple way, it really can't be made too much. Often, after a day's work, you have to rest for a few days and wait for the cement to be made.

The road has been paved to the Haka tribe. The two roads have been paved at the same time, almost a thousand miles have been paved, which is faster than the construction of the Nanshan Road. This is because there are more steam cars and steam ships, and the transportation capacity has become larger. stronger.

Huang Yueying, whom Lin Bei valued the most, has been quiet for a while. She is still working hard to absorb the principle of steam. Lin Bei believes that as long as this girl understands the principle of steam thoroughly, with her clever mind, she will be better than the current craftsmen in Wanghai City.

Fast forward to the end of January, and Lin Bei has stayed in Fountain Island for nearly twenty days. On this day, a large ship left the dock in the craftsman workshop in Wanghai City.

If Lin Bei could see it, he would be able to find that this big ship was at least three feet longer than the previous ones in Wanghai City, reaching ten feet. at sea.

Ying Yueying was a little thinner, her little face lost some luster, her hair was dry, her eyes were bloodshot, and she obviously hadn't rested well for a long time. At this time, she took a small boat to the side of the big boat and circled around the big boat. After walking around, he muttered in his mouth: "The hull of the ship has reached a foot and a half into the water. It seems that the keel is made of steel and it looks very heavy. I don't know if the wooden boards inside can bear this weight. , the weight will increase, do we need to enlarge the hull?"

When Huang Yueying came to Wanghai City, she first figured out the principle of the steam engine, and then immediately realized the importance of the big ship to Wanghai City. This big ship was Huang Yueying's first work in Wanghai City.

Huang Yueying must have never learned about dynamics and water pressure, but the working people in ancient times were able to sum up the usefulness of this knowledge. A skilled craftsman can know the details of the objects he manufactured just by looking at them Whether it fits or not, Huang Yue is using her experience to improve this big ship. It is easy to put together a big ship, but it requires that the big ship is not easy to overturn, not easy to fall apart, and it has to withstand the impact of launching at high speed Huang Yueying is slowly moving towards the peak of a master craftsman.

ps: ps: There is finally a recommendation next week, and I am in tears...

Chapter 269 The Death of Haka

After staying in Fountain Island for so many days, Lin Bei began to feel bored.

Now he is awake every day and has a lot of time, but he can only stay in the pool, and there is no one around him who can chat with him, and there is almost nothing to do. He can't bear it.

"It's better to look back at Haicheng if you stay awake like this. Every day when you fall asleep and fall asleep, the time passes..."

Just when Lin Bei was bored, Cui Lan brought him a drum.

This drum is not big, only a little bigger than the palm of an ordinary person, and it can be beaten by hand. The drum head is made of a white animal skin. There is a pattern on the side of the drum. Lin Bei carefully looked at it. The eye looks like a snake. The Haka tribe believes in the god Haka. It is normal for the pattern on the drum to be a snake.

"What are you bringing me a drum for?" Lin Bei wondered, was it to let him play drums while he had nothing to do?
