Chapter 110 Set sail
Zhao Jiu also came to this world and found out that the navigation and shipbuilding industry in the Song Dynasty was already very developed. In terms of craftsmanship and advancedness, it was no worse than Zheng He's treasure fleet when he sailed to the West. The reason why it is not so famous is because of everyone. Went to do business.However, the development of maritime passenger ships naturally stems from the trade needs brought about by a developed market economy, which drives municipal shipping companies and private merchants to continuously improve shipbuilding technology.

In this regard, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was actually quite pragmatic and did not engage in any loss-making and tribute-paying trade.However, it may be that my own fighting strength is limited, and I can only have Goryeo and Dali to cooperate with the performance.

But in any case, the most dangerous time in Huaishang in the first year of Jianyan was that the sailing fleet brought by Han Shizhong was extremely huge, and almost every ship had tall masts and sails. Jin Wushu was caught off guard and changed. The strategic balance of the entire battle was the turning point that turned defeat into victory.

Even in history, without Zhao Jiu, Lieutenant Han would have fought the world-famous Battle of Huang Tiandang!

Not to mention sea-going ships, but also on inland rivers. If Zhang Rong had not launched the water wheel inland river fleet after recruiting troops to the Yellow River, they would have been able to install small trebuchets on the big ships and burn down the Jin army navy of Xiao Wu. , to ensure that there is no more opportunity on the Eastern Front, there will be no foundation for victory in the Yaoshan Battle.

From this aspect, the military technology of the Song Dynasty is quite useful, as long as the decision-makers don't mess around.

Therefore, in addition to trying his best to implement the principle that a good memory is worse than a bad writing, Zhao Guan, an engineering dog, writes down all the mechanical principles and chemical knowledge he still remembers in simplified Chinese characters in a small notebook. He is constantly revitalizing Yuan Xue, counting on this science cloaked in Confucianism. Technology can take root and flourish under his rule.For this reason, he must first ensure that he lives a long life, and secondly, not be confused.

Not to mention, there must be fragrant grass within ten steps. After years of nurturing and advocacy, there are always some improvements. It was not a small surprise, but what interested Zhao Guanjia the most was that at the end of Jianyan’s 12th year, some craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry proposed to make four-wheeled wind blades by imitating waterwheels, and use the wind force to make the wind flow in one direction Blowing means using technology to replace human and animal power to grind flour with natural power sources.

Zhao Jiu was overjoyed immediately. Although this windmill was very different from modern wind power generation, he had finally taken the first step, and Zhao Jiu didn't just want to do some farm work. He immediately thought of the Dutch windmill.

In the sixteenth century, various raw materials, which played an important role in the Dutch business world, were transported from various waterways to windmill construction sites for processing. By coincidence, the Zhao family wanted to build ships and ports, and this great invention was inseparable.After all, you don’t need a keel or mast to build a ship?So he immediately rewarded the craftsman, and urgently summoned craftsmen and river workers from all over the country. Everyone worked as if they were scientists, and they were forced to study the technology every day. Finally, at the beginning of the year, he built a windmill test product that looked average and practical. Zhao Guan's family was overjoyed and immediately awarded him an official title.

At the same time, the construction of sea-going ships also made great progress with Zhang Laocai's diligent efforts.As we all know, King Zhang Qi is more famous for his business skills than fighting, and if he wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Since he is engaged in maritime trade, Zhang Jun naturally pays close attention to ships, which are in short supply. After all, How big of a market is Korea and Japan? The officials are right, Annan, Jiaozhi and even the distant Spice Island are the final destinations.

Originally, all the sea-going ships of the Right Army were severely damaged and repaired after the Jingkang Incident. The underside of the ship was like a blade, which was convenient for breaking waves. The equipment on board was complete, including mooring, driving, anchoring, turning sails and sounding. Everything is complete, but there are some subtle surprises that can cause problems at sea.Zhang Jun has made a fortune from maritime trade over the years, while also constantly improving. After the surrender of the Jin Kingdom, a large number of craftsmen were released, and the shipping documents were returned to the Song Dynasty. He felt like a treasure. After three years of hard work, he finally told the official There is no problem with home voyage, but the water level in Dengzhou is still too shallow, so I plan to come to Tianjin to have a look.

Yang Yizhong was so obedient. When he saw that the two of them wanted to communicate, he immediately stood guard at the entrance of the palace and acted as a doorkeeper. He also dutifully ordered two lunches.

Speaking of this, Zhang Jun's eyebrows were dancing and he said: "Guan Jia, although I have never been to any Spice Island, according to the map you drew, it is just south of Liuqiu (today's Taiwan Wowan). As long as we can follow the monsoon wind, Coupled with sufficient supplies, I am naturally confident. Now the main mast of our large ship is ten songzhang high, and the foremast is eight songzhang high. It can hold a total of one hundred and ten sails. Use the sail in the positive wind, and use the advantage as long as the sea is slightly off. Canopy. And the captain is more than ten feet long, three feet deep, two feet and five feet wide, and can carry more than [-] kilograms of cargo. According to some old craftsmen, it can continue to be improved, but I can't wait to ask you to take a look first." Zhao Guanjia looked at him. What he said was clear and logical. I guess Zhang Jun would not be careless about getting rich. He ate a few mouthfuls of braised pork, drank some thatch root water, and joked: "You have to ensure that this is a merchant ship. If Li Bao finds it, it can be used in battle." , you are crying and asking for it, just because you last allowed your subordinates to empty out the military stocks of Laizhou and Mizhou, Li Bao did not merge with the imperial army, and I can no longer favor you. "The Zhao Guan family knows this comrade too well, and they still have to beat him when it's time to beat him.

This was about what happened after Xixia was destroyed in the sixth year of Jianyan. Zhang Jun could only talk and didn't dare to eat. After all, he really didn't care about this matter. If he had known that overseas voyages were so profitable and he needed the navy's protection, he would have I wouldn't push Li Bao so hard. I was embarrassed for a while, so I'd better just promise to cooperate during the Northern Expedition.

Of course, during the Northern Expedition, Yue Fei did not take a fancy to Li Bao's combat effectiveness and gave up naval assistance. He had no choice but to fight for the opportunity to go to Liaodong at sea to put pressure on Goryeo, which was considered honest and trustworthy.

However, he still said: "Don't think of him as an official. Li Bao is really an honest man. He has collected all the cars, ships and boats here, and the wheels and oars have made at least eight wheels. As for learning from Zhang Rong, The propeller that comes is even more powerful.”

"The Navy is our weakest point in the Song Dynasty and must be improved. It's just that I don't have a better way at the moment." Zhao Guan's family was a little helpless, watching the light rain outside the house stop and fall, and dew like drops sliding from the eaves. He sighed and said: "No matter how good the cars and boats are, they cannot be compared to large ships. Don't be lazy because you think that the Kingdom of Jin has disappeared. That's all. What do you want to say to you? Let's go to Wuhan together in a few days." Take a look at the port. I want to build windmills there to process wood and improve people's livelihood. You all go with me, and Boying. Since you said there is no problem, don't wait for the Tianjin port to be built. Bring it first. Let me go to Spice Island, and I promise you will make a lot of money when you come back."

Zhang Jun looked at the man in red whom he had known for more than ten years, and felt dazed. The foreign minister had agreed to give him [-] yuan, and he would be killed after crossing Cai at night. This man had always been so high-spirited and heroic.While Zhang Jun suspected that the old Zhao family's bloodline had mutated, he always felt that his greatest wealth in his life was not that his family could no longer pretend to be helpless, but that he followed the official family when he was in Hebei.

It is true that three generations of wealth are determined by just one thought!
As the leader of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiu was so sacred and inviolable in Zhang Jun's eyes at this moment, just like the swaggering Long Yu on Bagong Mountain told the world that the officials of the Song Dynasty would never retreat, and officials would retreat across the Huai River. Determination and determination that can kill anyone.

Thirteen years later, this perseverance appeared again in the same person.

 Sorry, there is only one update, because I found that I am really not suitable for lighting up the technology tree, which is a shortcoming of liberal arts students.In addition, Wu Fu’s children are about to find a direction in life. Guess what?
