Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Gao Yue's words attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Although Gao Yue was the youngest among the people in the hall, he was young and flexible and was deeply loved by everyone. Even Wei Heizi admired this assistant.  He was very satisfied, so as soon as his words came out, Wei Heizi asked with surprise: "Meng Xia, do you really have a solution?" Meng Xia was Gao Yue's nickname.

    After hearing this, Gao Yue smiled and said: "Dean, you have misunderstood. I am not that capable. It's just that the Patent Office from Chang'an sent me a list of recently applied patents two days ago. I looked at it carefully.  I was very impressed by one of the patents. Although the invention of that patent was not aimed at sails, I thought I could give it a try." ",

    When they heard that it was the latest patent sent from Chang'an, Wei Heizi and the others were refreshed and their confidence increased. Since the establishment of the patent institute, countless talented people have applied for patents for their inventions, and their ship design institute  They discovered many useful inventions from the Patent Institute, which allowed them to make many improvements in ship design.

    "Meng Xia, tell us the contents of that patent quickly. We have been very busy these days and we haven't even seen the latest list yet." A middle-aged master craftsman said eagerly, while Wei Heizi and others  They also kept urging, wanting to know earlier what kind of patents could help them "" See

    The patent list sent by Changan not only had the name of a certain patent, but also a brief introduction. Gao Yue had a good memory and quickly told the patent he had seen.

    Speaking of which, this invention patent is not very eye-catching. It was accidentally discovered by a student from Chang'an City Taoist College. At that time, he extracted a water-soluble powder from an ore.  After using this powder to make a solution, put the cotton cloth in it and soak it.  Once taken out to dry, the cloth is difficult to relight.  It's just that the powder is poisonous.  Therefore, the soaked cloth cannot be worn again, and after being washed with clean water, the fireproof function will disappear. Therefore, this patent is not very useful in the eyes of others, and it is even possible that the Taoist Academy itself does not  Take it to heart.

    After Gao Yue finished introducing the patent, he spoke again: "Although this invention was just an experiment with cotton cloth, I think the key lies in the solution. Maybe we can soak the sail in the solution.  Once. It should also make the sails fireproof."

    After listening to Gao Yue's words, Wei Heizi and others nodded repeatedly. They all knew in the Taoist Academy that His Highness King Qi helped Yuan Lao Shenxian build an academy. There were many strange inventions in it, such as Zhao Biejia's  Miss Yifan used the Taoist Academy's invention when she was developing a steam engine. Unexpectedly, they would also use each other's inventions now.

    "Meng Xia's method is good. We can first buy a batch of that powder from the Taoist Academy. Then make a solution and try it. If it is really effective, then buy the patent. If it is not effective, that's okay.  , we can hand over this problem to the Taoist Academy and see if they can help us find a solution?" Wei Heizi finally made a decision.  After hearing this, everyone else nodded again and again. This issue can only trouble Old God Yuan and the others.

    After the method is agreed upon.  Naturally, there are people from the academy to handle this matter. Gao Yue originally proposed this idea.  It should be done by him, but Wei Heizi still had more important things to do with Gao Yue, so he ordered others to go and asked the other party to first borrow the Fei Nu from Prince Qi's Mansion to pass the message to Mr. Wang in Chang'an City.  Just help them negotiate this matter. There is no need to send people to Chang'an. After all, it takes too long to go back and forth.

    After staying in the Ship Design Academy for a while, Wei Heizi took Gao Yue and left, but they did not go far. Instead, they arrived at a port outside Ship City. This was a military port with guards stationed in Dengzhou.  There are tens of thousands of naval troops, and all kinds of warships parked in the port.

    Speaking of which, the army in Dengzhou is divided into two types. One is the army of the Tang Dynasty. For example, when Goguryeo attacked Dengzhou last time, the navy and army responsible for blocking it were both the army of the Tang Dynasty.  The other type is Li Min's private soldiers, such as Lu Qing's navy and the 15,000 slave-catching soldiers that Hu Li brought to Silla. They all belong directly to Li Min, and all food, drink and military pay are paid by Li Min himself.  The solution is that it belongs to two different systems from the army of the Tang Dynasty.

    The military port that Wei Heizi came to belonged to the Tang Navy. However, due to the relationship between Li Min and Navy General Liu Ju, these Dengzhou Navy troops also helped Li Min a lot overtly and covertly. For example, this military port originally  It has two functions, one is to defend the ship city. After all, this is the shipbuilding center of Dengzhou, which is equivalent to a heavy industry base, so nothing can go wrong, and it naturally needs people to guard it.

    The other one is the temporary storage place for Li Min's newly built warships. After Lu Qing and his navy's warships are built, they will be parked in this port for trial use, and will not be sent to Lu Qing until there are no problems.  It is precisely because of this?This port was very important to Li Min, so he asked Liu Ju to station 10,000 naval troops here.

    After Wei Heizi arrived at the military port, soldiers immediately led him in. After finding the general in charge, he went to the military port and picked thirty warships. Then he borrowed two thousand naval troops from the military port, assigned them to the warships and set sail.  Dengzhou's civilian port docked for a while, and then many craftsmen who had been prepared for it boarded the ship. There were many types of craftsmen, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, and even masons, but the most numerous were shipbuilding craftsmen.

    They will take a boat to the newly occupied Silla and Baekje to help build a strong military port. After all, it is already occupied by Li Min, so it is natural to station troops. Building a military port is a good choice.  In addition, these thirty warships are given to Lu Qing. After all, they lost a lot of ships in the Battle of Tsushima. These ships are sent to them to restore their strength. In addition, there are also the shipbuilding craftsmen who will build a ship in Danluo.  The simple shipyard helped Lu Qing and the others build some auxiliary ships, and also repaired the damaged warships, so that they would not have to be sent to Dengzhou for repairs.

    However, after these craftsmen boarded the ship, another group of merchants arrived with goods. They all came to take the downwind ship to transport goods to Silla or Baekje. Wei Heizi would not refuse these merchants. After all, Li  Min originally encouraged business. In addition, these warships were large and empty. They could make extra money by helping merchants transport goods, and merchants did not have to worry about safety issues, so it could be said to benefit everyone.  Already a matter.

    After the merchants loaded the goods onto the ship, Wei Heizi still did not let the fleet leave the port. Instead, he waited for a long time. Finally, with the whine of the train, the last group of people finally arrived.  .

    There were not many people in the last group, only about twenty people in total. The leader was a middle-aged Taoist with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He was thin and ugly, and looked indescribably wretched. The twenty people behind him  None of his subordinates looked like good people, and they all looked so vicious that it made people feel chilly just looking at them.

    Although the middle-aged Taoist people were not many people, they brought a lot of things. Except for the twenty or so people on the train, the others were all pulling various goods. As soon as the train stopped, someone immediately came to the port.  The coolies helped move things.

    "Dean Wei, do you want to go with us this time?" As soon as the middle-aged Taoist saw Wei Heizi at the port, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

    However, Wei Heizi felt a little unnatural when he saw this Taoist. He laughed dryly and said: "Dengzhou's strength cannot be separated from me, so Wei is just here to see the fleet off this time, but Taoist Wu is here.  But you don¡¯t know when you can come back?¡±

    This Taoist named Wu was Wu Tiande who Li Min recruited in Chang'an. Li Min originally wanted to develop anatomy to promote the development of medicine. Unfortunately, in mainstream society like the Tang Dynasty, it was absolutely unacceptable to dissect corpses.  This kind of thing happened, so he later approached Wu Tiande and asked him to recruit some people and send them to Dengzhou to prepare for the opportunity for them to study anatomy overseas.

    Speaking of which, Wu Tiande is indeed a talented person. With the funds provided by Li Min, he quickly recruited a group of people. Most of these people were widows and had been working with corpses all year round. They all knew some medical skills and knew a few words.  Of course, these people's basic skills are indeed a bit poor, but Wu Tiande is responsible for everything. He is a lecturer at the medical school and his medical skills are very good. After these people arrived in Dengzhou, they have been studying with Wu Tiande, and this time they will finally officially  began their great career.

    Hearing that Wei Heizi was not going, Wu Tiande couldn't help showing a disappointed expression. He looked at the other party and said with regret, "That's a shame. I owed Dean Wei thirty thousand dollars last time. I wanted to borrow it this time."  I wanted to see if I could win back the money I owe you, but I didn¡¯t expect that you wouldn¡¯t go.¡±

    When Wu Tiande said this, he couldn't help but shook his head with regret, and Wei Heizi's dark face became even darker.  Wu Tiande was lustful and a gambler. Not long after he came to Dengzhou, he squandered all the money given to him by Li Min. Moreover, he was not honest when he ran out of money. He asked people to borrow money every day. It turned out that he was His Highness the King of Qi.  He was recruited, so many old people in Prince Qi's Mansion lent it to him out of kindness. However, they didn't expect that this guy was a scoundrel. He didn't know how to pay back the money he borrowed, and others were too embarrassed to ask him for it, such as Wei Heizi.  He is a victim. Last time he lent him 30 guan, but he still hasn't seen him return it.

    Hearing Wu Tiande mention his thirty guan, the corner of Wei Heizi's mouth twitched a few times, and finally said: "It's just 30 guan. It can be regarded as the incense money that Wei gave to Taoist Wu. There is no need to pay it back in the future!"

    This is not because Wei Heizi is being generous, but because he knows that after Wu Tiande goes out this time, he may not be able to come back in the Year of the Monkey, so instead of worrying about the other party paying back the money, he might as well be generous.Once, just give it to the other person.

    Wu Tiande's eyes lit up when he heard that Wei Heizi was so generous. He came up with a smile and said, "That's it. Thank you very much, Dean Wei. But think about it, Brother Wei is in charge of the Design Institute and the Shipbuilding Association.  You don¡¯t care about me at all. I think it¡¯s better to just lend me another seventy melons and let¡¯s make up a round number. How about we form a good relationship?¡± (To be continued.
