The boat that Zheng Yuming and Wu Wang and his wife took was a warship of the navy battalion.The navy battalion in Minghui Valley has more than 100 large and small warships. The largest giant ship has [-] materials and can cross the sea. There are five large ships with [-] materials, and twenty ships with [-] materials. There are more than [-] ships with [-] and [-] materials, and as many as [-] or [-] ships with less than [-] materials.There were more than [-] ships that came to meet the king of the Southern Xun, including two ships of [-] materials, five ships of [-] materials, and the others were smaller ships of [-] materials. The giant ships did not come, Wu The water level of domestic inland rivers cannot meet the needs of giant sailing.

There are now more than 5000 sailors in the Navy Battalion, and only less than a thousand can skillfully operate the boat. The sailors who will drive the boat this time are selected from these skilled sailors.The other [-] sailors in the Navy Battalion were recruits just recruited this year, and they were still training in Minghui Valley.

The palace guards led by Wei Ren sent Zheng Yuming and Wu Wang and his wife back to Kangcheng on the boat. The safety of the king's driver on the southern tour was taken care of by a thousand elite soldiers led by Ma Ren.More than [-] ships crowded the river at the Kaoma Tei Ferry.After the southern tour personnel and luggage were all on board, the ship raised its sails and slowly left the Kaoma Tei Ferry. More than [-] large ships were connected end to end, and the scene was very spectacular.The people watching the excitement at the Kaoma Tei Ferry slowly dispersed after watching the boats disappear.

"The ship of Wu Kingdom is really big." Wu Xian watched the big ship going away and admired it. After the martial law in Cannes ended, Zhao Xuan and his party rode to Gao Ma Tei Ferry, just in time to watch the southern patrol ship leave.

"There are many rivers in Wu State, so it is convenient to have boats. If my Zhao State has many rivers, I will build big ships." Boyao himself gets seasick and doesn't like to take boats. The construction technology is also not good, and only wooden boats with about [-] materials can be built.

"Fortunately, there is no river to communicate with Zhao." Zhao Xuan rejoiced as he looked at the boats going away.

"Excuse me, Master, are we also going to Nanbu by boat?" Kuiji squinted at the sailing boat going away, secretly hating himself for not being able to swim, jumping on the boat to assassinate is not sure, so he can only go to Ulsan to look for opportunities.

"No, we still go to Ulsan on the main road." Zhao Xuan shook his head. It was convenient and convenient to take a boat, but he couldn't observe the domestic situation of Wu State well on the boat. If Zhao Xuan wanted to know more about Wu State's strength, he had to investigate along the road.

The road from Cannes to Ulsan was the first to be built, and the post facilities along the way are the most complete.After three or four years of development, most of the surrounding post stations have developed into small villages. Cannes to Ulsan Avenue is the busiest pedestrian, and there are a lot of people eating and cooking. In addition to farming, the villagers in the small village are also engaged in catering and small hotel services. The villagers are somewhat Half agricultural half commercial nature.

As Zhao Xuan traveled along the road, there were waterwheels and windmills along the rivers on both sides of the avenue. These waterwheels and windmills were built very tall.Many villages near the river also have mills that use wind and water power. In addition to the millstones in the mills, there is also a hydraulic and wind-powered hulling machine made by Gongsun Pan.

"This Gongsun Pan is a great sage. The people of Wu are really blessed to have him." Wu Xian asked the local people, who revealed that Gongsun Pan improved the windmill and waterwheel, which can maximize the use of natural power. It is the invention of Gongsun Pan.

Zhao Xuan's face darkened, he was already very annoyed that he underestimated Gongsun Pan in Qimen Mountain, Zhao Xuan finally figured out that a sage like Gongsun Pan does not need to have the ability to govern the country, as long as he has the ability to improve farmland hydraulic equipment, It can also make the country strong, and Zhao Xuan began to regret not taking Gongsun Pan into Zhao's hands.

Bo Yao looked at Zhao Xuan's black face and knew that Zhao Xuan was not happy, so he quietly pulled the corner of Wu Mian's clothes to prevent Wu Mian from touching Zhao Xuan again.

The closer you get to Ulsan, the more rice fields are planted on both sides of the avenue. Rice is planted in April and May, matures in about 150 days, and is harvested after mid-September.Now the rice is heading. There is thin and shallow water in the rice field, and there is a sour smell.

"Old man, what does this taste like?" Zhao Xuan pinched his nose and asked the old farmer who was watering the rice fields.

"This is a medicinal solution for killing insects." The farmer stopped and replied to Zhao Xuan and his party by the roadside.

"Insecticide liquid? What is it made of?" Zhao Xuan's heart moved, thinking that Zhao Guo always couldn't grow rice well, could it be that he didn't use this insecticide?

"This little old man doesn't know." The farmer shook his head. When the rice needed to be exterminated, it was the village head who notified him. After receiving the notification, the villagers went to the government's Agricultural Affairs Department to get the insecticide vinegar. "I only know that this sprinkler bucket is made by Gongsun Daxian." The utensils in the hands of the elderly farmers are similar to the sprinkler buckets for watering flowers in the 21st century.

Zhao Xuan muttered to himself: "Could it be that Gongsun Pan invented the liquid medicine again?"

Insecticide liquid is actually made of vinegar, Zheng Yuming cannot compound pesticides, and instead of pesticides, he uses white vinegar and insecticide liquid to kill or drive away pests in rice fields.

The old farmer didn't hear what Zhao Xuan was talking to himself, and seeing that Zhao Xuan stopped asking, he turned around and sprinkled the potion on the field.

Zhao Xuan continued on the road with his men on horseback. Not far away, he saw a peasant woman plowing oxen and plowing the fields.

"Are all the women of the state of Wu strong? They can farm against a strong man."

"It is the strength of the ox that makes the plow move forward easily." Wu Xian thought it was the woman who controlled the ox.

"Oxen are also used to plow the fields in my village, but two strong men are needed to support the plow." Kuiji grew up in the countryside, and he himself has worked in the world, and he knows that it takes a lot of strength to support the plow.

"That woman's plow is weird." Wu Xian was in charge of farming, and saw that the plow used by the woman was different from that of Zhao State.

"Yes, this plow has a strange shape." Kuiji also nodded in agreement.

Zhao Xuan stared intently for a while, then asked the guards behind him. "Who ever plowed the field?"

The thirty guards behind Zhao Xuan looked at each other in blank dismay. Most of them were from noble backgrounds, only a few were from poor backgrounds.

"Report to my master, I have plowed the land at home, but I haven't plowed for a long time, and I am unfamiliar with it." A guard came out to report.

"Go and help that woman plow for a while, and feel the difference between plowing in Wu country and our country." Zhao Xuan raised his horsewhip and pointed at the woman.

"No!" The guard took the order and ran to the field to talk to the working woman. The woman turned her head and saw Zhao Xuan and others beside the road. The man took the letter in doubt and stepped aside, leaving the plow to the guards to operate, and whispered pointers beside him.The guard got used to it after a little familiarity, and soon plowed to the side of the avenue. The guard returned the plow to the woman, walked across the ditch to the avenue, and walked to Zhao Xuan's side.

"Boss, that plow is light and can be easily swung for deep plowing. It is also light and flexible, and easy to maneuver. It is very different from the small home plow. Even women can plow independently." The guard reported his experience in using it.

Zhao Xuan was not proficient in farm tools, so he raised his eyes and asked Wu Mian, "Wu Mian, what do you think is the difference between Wu Li and Zhao Li?"

Wu Xian took a closer look at the plow, and found that the shape of the plow used by the woman was different from that of Zhao's plow. The plow also had many parts, and the plow share was V-shaped.Zhao plow is a long straight shaft plow, and the plow share is flat.

"Boss, this plow has been improved quite a lot, which is probably the key to it being lighter and less labor-intensive than our country's plow." Wu Milling has been in charge of farming and is familiar with farm tools.

Zhao Xuan turned to face the woman, with a smile on his face: "Do you know who made this plow."

Zhao Xuan was handsome and well-dressed. In the countryside, how could there be such a gentleman with outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament. The woman's eyes were already blank, and she stammered a bit when she faced Zhao Xuan's gentle questioning.

"This plow was issued to my village by the government. I don't know who made it, but this plow is called Gongsun plow."

"Gongsun Li? Was it made by Gongsun Pan again?" The smile on Zhao Xuan's face disappeared, and he felt even more regretful.

In fact, the plow used by the woman is called Quyuanli. Zheng Yuming drew the figure and asked the blacksmith to make it. However, Zheng Yuming only knew the general shape of Quyuanli. The parts were more perfect, and later craftsmen produced Quyuanli according to Gongsun Pan's drawings, and the produced Quyuanli was called Gongsunli.

As Zhao Xuan investigated all the way, his speed slowed down. Originally, it only took more than two days to travel, but it took Zhao Xuan five days to reach the city.Entering Dacheng, I immediately feel that Dacheng is more prosperous than Cangcheng. This kind of prosperity can be seen from the clothes of pedestrians walking around on the street. Most of the residents in Dacheng are well-dressed.To Zhao Xuan's surprise, an old woman selling tea eggs on the street was wearing a summer dress made of silk.

"Boss, the tea eggs taste very good, do you want to go down and buy some?" Wei Zou has been to Dacheng, and he likes Dacheng's tea eggs very much.Tea is very precious, and tea produced in Ulsan is relatively cheap. For this reason, tea eggs are sold on the streets of Nanbu and Dalseong. In Cannes, only Dafanzhuang cooks tea eggs.Wei Zou watched Zhao Xuan keep looking at the old woman, thinking that Zhao Xuan was attracted by tea eggs.

Seeing that Wei Zou misunderstood and was about to refuse, Zhao Xuan froze suddenly, staring straight at not far away.

Wei Zou wondered why his lord's complexion changed so much. He followed Zhao Xuan's line of sight, and when he saw it clearly, he almost screamed. A big wolf came running from where Zhao Xuan was paying attention. He was so tough that he ran on the street like no one else was around.

"Ah, kill that wolf!" Wei Zou stopped Zhao Xuan with a stride.

"Ignorant boy! Where did the evil wolf come from? That's my Ulsan dog!" The old woman selling tea eggs snorted coldly and shouted at Wei Zou.

Wei Zou was annoyed, feeling that the old woman selling tea eggs was too rude, but he also understood that the wolf might not be a wolf, because people on the street would not run away when they saw it.

"Excuse me, old woman! Do you know the owner of this dog?" Zhao Xuan's face was filled with joy. He recognized that the wolf dog was Chu Yu's pet dog Mu Mu. Since Chu Yu's pet dog is here, Chu Yu should also be in Dacheng. Zhao Xuan was very happy to meet Chu Yu again.

Seeing Zhao Xuan asking, the old woman raised her chin slightly, with pride on her face: "Is this the first time a guest officer has come to Dacheng? This dog is my son's beloved dog. No one in Ulsan knows about it!"

The smile on Zhao Xuan's face gradually disappeared: "Your son's dog?" Zhao Xuan repeated the old woman's words, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Yes, only my son's dog has such a majestic appearance." The old woman spoke and shouted at Mu Mu: "Mu Mu, come here to eat."

When Mu Mu heard the old woman's greeting, he ran over and leaned close to Zhao Xuan to smell it. He felt that the smell was familiar, and Bo Yao who was standing behind Zhao Xuan had also smelled it before.

"This is Chu Yu's wolf dog." Boyao who fell behind Zhao Xuan pointed to Mu Mu and exclaimed. Boyao had followed Zhao Xuan to Mount Qimen, so of course he knew Mu Mu.

"Bah, how could Mu Mu be a common dog? It's my son Ming Shen dog." The old woman shook her head, peeled a tea egg and handed it to Mu Mu's mouth. Next, he wagged his tail to express his thanks.

"Master Ming!" Zhao Xuan whispered to himself.

"Mu Mu, go home quickly, and eat free food everywhere in the street again!" Mu Mu was still squatting in front of the old woman waiting for the second tea egg, when suddenly a loud voice rang out, and Daniel came striding forward.

When Zhao Xuan saw Daniel, he immediately thought of the scene where Daniel and Chu Yu resigned in anger. "Is Da Niu coming here all right?"

Daniel took a closer look and found that it was Zhao Xuan. Remembering that he and Zheng Yuming had teamed up to deceive Zhao Xuan and prevent Zhao Xuan from seeing Gongsun Pan, he scratched his head and laughed twice. "So it's His Royal Highness Zhao."

When Zhao Xuan heard Da Niu's name, he suddenly understood everything. Chu Yu was Gong Ziming, and at that time, Gong Ziming also went to invite Gongsun Pan out of the mountain. Belittling Gongsun Pan, misleading yourself, making yourself think that Gongsun Pan is not a great talent in governing the country, and losing the eagerness to seek talents, so that you miss the pillars.

Zhao Xuan wanted to understand what was going on, but felt that his eyes were black with anger.

"Hmph! You and your lord really cooperate! Zhao thinks so much about your lord, please report, Zhao Xuan, Prince Zhao, is asking to see his old friends Chu and Yu!!" Zhao Xuan gritted his teeth, and jumped out to say something, understanding After Zheng Yuming's deception, his anger caused him to abandon his always proud rationality.
