Chapter 72 Ship Model Test

That night, the Liu family had a grand banquet, and did not claim to be a banquet for the King of Yan, but a few people were like family banquets.

Seeing that Liu Qing was not here, Gongsun Xiu thought to himself: "According to the ancient style, female family members can't have dinner with guests."

Liu Chuan had fifteen buckets of water in his heart, and he didn't understand what the King of Yan was, so he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you just said arrogantly, villains deserve to die, please forgive me."

Gongsun Xiu smiled and waved his hand and said, "I forgive you for being innocent. Remember, you can't tell the truth to Ling Mei. Anyway, in front of her, I am your guest."

Liu Chuan was shocked and waved his hand quickly and said, "This - how can this work? My sister has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She didn't know that King Yan is the king of a country, and her words were inevitable. If she accidentally angered the king, what should she do?"

Gongsun Xiu said in a correct expression: "The ignorant is innocent and will not take it to heart, but you keep it in mind and never tell her, saying that I am the King of Yan today, do you know?"

"What if she noticed it myself?"

"She realized that she wouldn't blame you, so she wouldn't blame you anyway, you are not allowed to say it first."

Gongsun Xiu thought of Liu Qing’s innocent appearance. If he knew that he was the King of Yan, he would become frightened. What is the difference between it and the women in the palace?

This will make you feel a different feeling.

Liu Chuan thought to himself: "Can the King of Yan fall in love with the younger sister? Well - yes, that's possible. The younger sister is in youth and is the best in Liaodong. The King of Yan must have fallen in love with the younger sister, so he concealed his identity."

If I marry my younger sister to the King of Yan, I will be considered a princess, and I will soon set off to Xiangping as an official. In this way, I will be considered a relative of the emperor, and the prince will no longer suspect that the Liu family in Qingzhou may join the Wei Kingdom and are truly tied together.

But... King Yan's mind is really unpredictable. If he really wants to marry a concubine, he can just open his mouth and open his mouth. Why do he have to do this so much?

If Liu Qing doesn't speak and offends the King of Yan, Liu will be in great trouble.

It's really a quirk.

Liu Chuan thought to himself.

Liu's wine and meat are excellent. As the saying goes, you can eat the mountains and the sea. Dazhu is on the beach and surrounded by the sea on three sides, so you can naturally eat seafood.

Seven or eight maids came up with jade plates. The first dish was a small jade porcelain basin. The maid chuckled and said, "This is a phignon."

Gongsun Xiu had never heard of what a fish was, and said in surprise: "What kind of fish is that?"

I saw a small jade porcelain pot lifting open, and it turned out to be abalone one by one. He said oh, thinking: "It turns out that during the Three Kingdoms period, abalone was called phignon."

This thing is not only expensive in modern times, but also sky-high in ancient times. As the emperor of the sect leader, Cao Pi gave Sun Quan a thousand abalones as gifts, which shows its preciousness. In "Southern History: Chu Yan's Return to Biography" it is recorded: "At that time, Huaibei belonged to Wei, and there were no fish in the south of the Yangtze River. There may be some time to get it, and one piece is thousands of coins."

I reached out to pick up a piece of chopsticks and put it in my mouth. It was tender and chewy, and it was smooth and delicious. I couldn't help but nodded: "It tastes delicious and hard to describe."

Liu Chuan smiled and said, "If you like it, the villain will order someone to bring hundreds of phishes to serve."

Gongsun Xiu smiled and said, "It is not less than 700 miles from Dazhu to Xiangping. The fish are not easy to keep fresh. I am afraid it will rot before halfway. It is useless to take it away, but it will waste natural resources."

The second dish was sashimi, which was completely raw. It was served with a small dish of salt. Gongsun Xiu never liked to eat raw food, so he had to put it in his mouth. The taste was not fishy. I think it was the kitchen cook that tasted the first taste when he made this dish, but it was soft and glutinous and hard to break. He endured the disgusting feeling and coughed and said, "Where is this how to eat it? Is Japan? How can I eat more raw food?"

Liu Chuan was stunned and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is the way to eat in the Central Plains since ancient times. There is no need to follow Japan. In such a small place and a country, only they learn from us, but not what we say."

Gongsun Xiu ate Japanese food in his previous life and hated salmon. He thought Liu Chuan was a food that imitated Japanese pirates. Unexpectedly, China began to eat sashimi since the Three Kingdoms period.

What he didn't know was that Chen Deng died of illness at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty because he often ate sashimi during his lifetime.

"The Three Kingdoms·Wei Zhi·Biography of Hua Tuo" records: "The prefect of Guangling Chen Deng was sick, and his chest was restless and his face was red. Tuo's pulse said: "There were insects in the stomach of the king of the house several liters, and he wanted to become an internal ulcer, which was caused by fishy food. "I immediately made two liters of soup and took one liter first. I had to take it all, and after a while, I spit out three liters of insects, and my head moved, and half of my body was raw fish sashimi, so the pain was cured. Tuo said: "The disease should be caused in the third period of the year, and I could be rescued when I met a good doctor." According to the time, Tuo was not here and died as if he said.

When Gongsun Xiu thought that he had eaten too much this thing and died of insects in his stomach, the tragic situation became terrifying. He smiled and said, "Just taste it lightly, you can't eat too much."

Liu Chuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded, "The villain is not well received."

After everyone finished their meals, they entered the hall to talk about the art of shipbuilding.

Gongsun Xiu ordered people to take paper and pen and draw the warship he thought of. This painting was extremely simple and rough, but Liu Chuan and Liu Zhi and the other two studied the ship for many years and saw the extraordinaryness of the warship at a glance. One is the keel bones, which are connected to the head and tail. From the bow to the stern, the keel bones are U-shaped, while the sides of the ship are thin and not flat.

Liu Chuan and Liu Zhi looked at each other and were both surprised.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid. The shape of this ship may be too sunk in the middle and easily sink."

Gongsun Xiu thought this could not be explained, so he smiled slightly: "Get the basin of water and then take the boat model over."

Liu Chuan was not sure, so he had to go out and bring out a basin of water, put it on the table, and then took out a small model of sea boat from his arms. It was a flat-bottom boat that was only the size of a palm, and gently put it into the basin and floated.

When estimating the wood for shipbuilding, you usually first build a ship model to estimate the total price of the wood for building a large ship. After determining the price, whether it can be built, then build a large ship. For example, to build a large ship of thirty feet, it is one tenth or one percent of the size. If a ship that is reduced by ten times is 100,000 yuan, and a hundred times is 100,000 yuan, the material cost required for a large ship is one million yuan.

When shipbuilding technology reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty, shipmakers could even calculate how many wood a large ship needs, which could accurately calculate it.

Gongsun Xiu bent down, and the Liu brothers, Deng Ai and Jia Fan also bent down. The five of them formed a group at the same time, staring at the boat in the basin.

"Look at the bottom of the boat,"
