Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 51: boating discussion

The things on the prison island were slightly instructed. After lunch, Lin Fu left the prison island by a leaf Upeng boat.

The fine waves of the river were surging, like piles of broken jade. It seemed that it had only been a few days. The wind on the river was no longer so cold. Some water ducks floated under the river embankment. After a while, it fell into the water a little further away.

"Master Crow has been to Changshan Island, how is life there? I'm afraid that Mr. Qin will not tell us if he is suffering." Lin Bie sat on the bow, talking to Wu Qi and Zhou Pu, and the stern took control of the boat. People are also Changshan Island pirates who diverted from horse pirates. In the afternoon, Zhou Pu and Wu Qi personally went to Prison Island to pick up Lin and tie them to the shore.

Before the new year, Wu Qi personally escorted Qin Chengzu with a ship of supplies to Changshan Island. When Wu Qi returned, Lin Fu was already on the prison island. This was the first time he met Wu Qi after the new year.

"Catch the northwest wind whistling, I went to the island on the day of the New Year's Day, made bread and dumplings without stopping, and made new clothes overnight... Before we went to the island, the island hadn't eaten rice and noodles for a whole month. , Some people can adapt to the fish to satisfy their hunger. Some people have been suffering from diarrhea since they went to the island. They have no medicine and lack of cold clothes. Many people with poor health couldn't make it through." Wu Qi said about the matter of Changshan Island, in the end, he came here from the sea of ​​blood in the mountain of swords. Put sadness in your heart, and don't put grief on your face. After all, when a shipment of supplies was transported to Changshan Island before the New Year's holiday, the situation on Changshan Island changed a bit.

Lin Fu thought about the situation on Changshan Island. Even if no new people came to the island, he had to feed nearly 400 people. Every two months, he had to replenish hundreds of stone grains of rice, cloth, medicine, some iron tools, etc. It will take almost two years for Changshan Island to be self-sufficient; once the island is hit by a typhoon, if the islanders want to rebuild after their homes are destroyed, they still have to rely on land assistance—this is also the reason why the development of the surrounding small islands simply relying on private forces is extremely difficult. for slow sake.

Seeing that Zhao Hu did not get on the boat with Lin Fu, Wu Qi asked, "Where's brother Zhao Hu..."

"Take this opportunity to let Zhao Hu enter the military position," Lin Fu briefly told Zhou Pu and Wu Qi about the storm of the past two days. Run on both sides of the island and the estuary, don't run far, don't need him to follow..."

In order to make Gu Wuchen completely reassured of himself, Lin Fu trained the military pawns guarding the prison island to reuse Yang Shi, but he also had to guard against Yang Shi's disobedience, so he directly let Zhao Hu also enter the military position and enter the military **** sequence.

Speaking of which, Zhou Pu and Wu Qi's direct entry into the military position is more conducive to him in the future to keep the prison guards firmly in his own hands, but after all, the identities of Zhou Pu and Wu Qi can't withstand too much scrutiny, Zhao Hu is Is clean.

Lin Fu, a little from the Jiu-pin prison, can't afford the crime of accepting bandits and hiding pirates.

Everything is not absolute. When Li Zhuo was appointed as the inspector of Jiangxi Province, he was executed in the execution ground one day, and a robber from Jiangyang asked Li Zhuo for a bowl of wine before he was beheaded. The two met eyes, and Li Zhuo regretted his arrogance, so he suspended the execution on the spot, and reported that the court had cleared the Jiang Yang robber to take him as a slave. Li Zhuo entered Dongmin to quell the rebellion, and this robber from Jiangyang became the leader of his personal guards. He also brought many brothers from the grass to serve as Li Zhuo's personal guards.

It's a pity that when Li Zhuo did that, he was already a third-rank local official, and Lin Fu was a big-ass official, but he didn't have the qualifications to become a good talker.

Zhou Pu and Wu Qi have been lurking on the side of the river mouth and staring at the prison island these days, but they did not expect such a big move on the prison island. Wu Qi scratched the back of his head and said, "This Jinchuan prison island will be completely mastered in the future. Is it in your hands?"

Lin Fu smiled. At this time, the boat reached the mouth of Jinchuan River. Lin Jingzhong, Lin Mengde and others who were waiting on the shore climbed to the beach with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The boatman behind the boat, dressed as a horseman, stretched the board to the beach. Come on, pick up Lin Jingzhong and Lin Mengde onto the boat.

Lin Mengde and Lin Jingzhong stepped on the swaying boat board and came to the boat, they were worried that they would fall into the water in this weather - this is the disadvantage of not having a dock.

Boats have to eat water of a certain depth, so they can’t completely lean on the river beach. Small boats can connect to the river beach with their boards. The draught of thousands of stone ships, especially those with sharp bottoms, is almost more than ten feet deep, and the **** of the river beach is very small. The water with a depth of 10 feet is often 13 or 40 feet away from the shore, and long boards as long as 13 or 40 feet are connected to the river beach. Such a long board takes hundreds or even thousands of years of old trees. Even so, it will be quite laborious to get goods and people down to the river beach, from the river beach to the river embankment, which is far less convenient than having a wharf. Although there is a wharf in the north of Jiuweng Bridge outside Jiangning East City, the wharf of Jiuweng Bridge is on the middle road of Jinchuan River. The Jinchuan River is only 17 or 80 feet wide there. A few more boats can block the entire river, so Jiangning The government only allowed official ships and military ships to park there.

If you want to transport goods conveniently, you have to build a wharf in an open estuary or directly on the river bank.

"Listen to Jingzhong, are you building a wharf and a warehouse here?" Lin Mengde jumped on the boat, Zhou Pu and Wu Qi stood up, and gave him and Lin Jingzhong their seats.

"Well," Lin Fu nodded. He was not so particular on the boat. He picked up the iron pot and heated the cup with hot water, and then used the cup that Zhou Pu and Wu Qi had drank to refill the tea for Lin Mengde and Lin Jingzhong, "I You can't leave the prison island casually, so let Jingzhong invite Uncle Mengde over to discuss it."

"If it were yesterday, I thought it was too difficult to do, maybe I wouldn't be too lazy to go here," Lin Mengde didn't give Lin Fu any sloppy eyes. He took a sip of tea, it was Iron Curtain Gao Mocha, he put down the cup, looked at Lin Fu, and asked, "You make up your mind about everything on the prison island?"

"Uncle Mengde's news is really fast." Lin Fu smiled.

"How can you be unhappy? Gu Wuchen is escorting nearly two hundred people into the city, and I can hear it even with my ears covered..." Lin Mengde said.

"For now, Master Gu sent Yang Shi to help me on the island." Lin Fu then answered Lin Mengde's question.

Lin Mengde nodded. He has not visited Gu Mansion once or twice. He knows everyone around Gu Wuchen. If Gu Wuchen doesn't trust Lin Fu, he will send Yang Pu or Ma Chao to Prison Island to contain Lin Fu, but he will not send Yang Shi. This hairy boy.

Although Jiangdao Prison is a junior sesame official from the ninth grade, Lin Mengde is not the kind of person whose eyes will only be blinded by officials, especially Gu Wuchen who made Jiangdao Prison to clear the prison. With the action, he could also guess that Gu Wuchen was going to rebuild the prison city on Jinchuan Prison Island. The size of the official position is second, the key is to have real power, and it also depends on whether this real power has other uses.

In the future, if all the prisoners above Jiangdong's exile are detained in the prison city, it is not difficult to imagine how strict Jinchuan Prison Island will be in the future. It is only a mile away from Jinchuan Prison Island. It can radiate the defensive power of Jinchuan Prison Island.

Lin Mengde touched the beard under his chin and thought for a moment, and then said to Lin Fu, "I heard that Jiyun Club takes a business post from Moling County, and the principal is 20,000 taels of silver, but it needs to build a wharf and a warehouse by the river. 20,000 taels of silver can't even hit the bottom..." Lin Mengde naturally knew that the principal of 20,000 taels of silver was an empty head, he couldn't imagine where Lin Fu could get 20,000 taels of gold, and he even doubted Jiyun The club is just an empty shell, except for the money those foreign horse dealers get to buy horses in Shanglin; besides, what are the origins of those foreign horse dealers, Lin Mengde is still suspicious in his heart.

"I can't fight it to the end. Besides, even if I have some money in my hand, there are too many places to use it," Lin Fu said. "That's why I asked Uncle Mengde to discuss it."

After Lin Mengde and Lin Jingzhong boarded the boat, the boat left the estuary and headed westward along the river bank.

When the pier was built in Shanglinli, Lin Mengde was still young. Later, when the pier was expanded, he participated in it. He knew how difficult it was to build a pier at the branch of the Shiliang River and Shanglinxi. The pier is more difficult.

Lin Mengde looked at the rocks on the shore eroded by the river, pointed to the beach under the boat, and said to Lin Fu, "If you want to pile up the stones all the way to the heart of the river where the thousand-stone boat can be parked, you have to pile up a pile of 30 to 40 feet away. The only way to build a wharf is to build a wharf with stones—the waves on the river are too large, and soil will definitely not work. Even if you use stones, you need to hit the bottom of the river with large wooden stakes and use boulders to press down the bottom. This project is too big, and it would be difficult for Jiangning to preside over it. If you want to rely on the power of a few firms..." Lin Mengde was the first on-the-spot investigation. The firm is willing to take the risk with money.

"No, no, no, it's not as difficult as you think, Uncle Mengde. There are two ideas for building a wharf. One is to build a high platform and then the water is deep, and the other is to dig a waterway and then a high platform. The current routine is indeed to build a high platform with stones. It extends to the deep water so that the boat can moor. Jingzhong and I have studied it carefully. Uncle Mengde, look at this beach, we hired people to dig a deep water channel from the bottom of the beach to allow ships to come in and park directly on the rocks. It saves a lot of manpower. The only difficulty is that the deep water channel will silt the river from time to time, and it is necessary to send people to go into the water to clear the silt from time to time..."

"..." Lin Meng was stunned there. He thought he had a lot of knowledge, but he didn't expect that the construction of a wharf could follow this line of thinking. After thinking about it, he said, in the end, it's not just to find a way to avoid the shallowness and convenience of the deep-draft cargo ships. Loading and unloading?

"Have you asked the construction master carefully?" Lin Mengde asked. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"I've asked, all of them are experienced masters. At first, people didn't believe that they could build a wharf on the riverside. They brought good wine and meat to the riverside to take a closer look. They all thought they could give it a try," Lin Jingzhong said. He said, "According to the changes of river water in different seasons, a complete countermeasure has also been drawn up. To choose a stone bank, the steeper the bank, the better. If the stone bank is too high, you can chisel stone steps, which is better than building stone platforms to the center of the river. It saves a lot of time.”

Lin Mengde nodded. Of course, it was easy to chisel a stone. First, pile firewood and burn it, and then boil the cold water. When it was cold and then hot, the stone collapsed into a large piece, and it took very little manpower to chisel a stone stair leading to the river beach.

Compared with building a high platform in the middle of the turbulent river, it is indeed much easier to dig a deep water channel. Even if the water channel is dredged later, it is also easier. After all, after building a high platform, it is also labor-saving to prevent the solar and lunar eclipses of the river water.

Lin Mengde felt strange in his heart: Why is such a simple method not commonly used? After thinking about it, I understand that this method is only suitable for stone banks, preferably natural stone banks. If the bank is made of earth, deep water channels should be dug under the roots of the earth bank. Isn't this convenient for the earth bank to collapse?

Lin Mengde looked at the river bank, thinking that it was no wonder that Lin Fujian's warehouse was chosen here. These rocky and rocky banks are even stone tires.

Lin Fu, Lin Mengde, and Lin Jingzhong took a boat to investigate the location suitable for digging deep waterways to build a wharf. They heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of horses' hooves stopped on the river bank overhead. Lin Fu wondered: Who is riding here at this time? Jiang Dike went up to see the scenery, looked up, and in the blink of an eye, Song Jia's charming face looked over.
