Concentricity

In the autumn of this year, the checkpoints on Nanda Island were repaired.After the checkpoint was built, Zhong Yong immediately sent a banner force to garrison it, one duty every five days, and they took turns to be on duty.

But for the rest of the year, the checkpoints on Nantai Island did not play a big role. After successfully intercepting the news of three small-scale invasions by Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates disappeared for a while.

The reason is that the Battle of Changle played a very positive role.When the commander of the capital escorted the twelve leaders of the Japanese pirates into the capital, it happened that the Japanese sent an envoy to come to see him.

The emperor handed over the twelve Japanese pirate leaders to the Japanese envoys. In order to show their submission, the Japanese executed the twelve Japanese pirate leaders on the spot to show their determination to support the eradication of the Japanese pirates.This incident also somewhat expressed the attitude of those in power in the Japanese country, and the Japanese pirates also had a little more scruples, so the people along the coast gained a short period of peace.

Yu Simian and Mo Jinyan also had a very peaceful life, they get along day and night, this is the longest time they have been together since they met and fell in love.

Because the fighting was peaceful, Mo Jinyan didn't go out for a long time.

Yu Simian saw it, and thought of ways to find some new things to attract his attention every day, so as to prevent him from being bored, but there will always be a day when fresh ideas run out, and Yu Simian is afraid that one day Mo Jinyan will tell himself that he is bored.

Yu Simian's original intention was to let Xiao Mo live happily and be with him, but he didn't want to restrain him, so that this bright treasure would be covered with dust and be overshadowed.

Finally one day, Mo Jinyan looked at Yu Simian wanting to speak but stopped, Yu Simian's heart tightened, and he looked at Mo Jinyan nervously: "Yan'er, what do you want to say?"

Mo Jinyan smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Yu, I want to tell you something."

Yu Simian thought to himself: It's finally coming.He was the first to say, "Yan'er, there is something I've always wanted to ask you." When there was no one in private, Yu Simian always called him Yan'er, which was also a nickname.

Mo Jinyan looked at him in surprise: "What does Brother Yu want to say?"

Yu Simian thought about his words: "I just want to know what Yan'er plans for the future. If one day, the pirates are gone and we don't have to fight against them, what are you going to do?"

Mo Jinyan was overjoyed, and then said to Yu Simian with some uncertainty: "Brother Yu, you are coaxing me, how can there be a day when there will be no pirates?"

Yu Simian reached out and touched his head: "Maybe there will be a day, you see, they haven't come to commit crimes for a long time, maybe there will be no pirates in the future."

Mo Jinyan nodded: "Yes, it's been a long time since I came here. If there are no Japanese pirates, I will go, go - I don't know what to do, I have never thought about it."

Yu Simian said kindly: "Then if you think about it now, it's okay."

Mo Jinyan frowned, and after a long while finally said: "I want to go to the rivers and lakes, to see everywhere, and I want to build a big ship, and take a big boat to see far away places. But Brother Yu, you can walk Do you want to open? If I am alone, I don’t want to go anywhere, wherever I am with Brother Yu.” Although he yearns for the kind of life where the world is big and the world is free, he doesn’t want to go alone.

Yu Simian's hanging heart finally let go, at least, in Mo Jinyan's heart, he is still the first, he nodded: "I also really want to go around and see, the world is so big, there are still many places We have never been there before. It is a man's wish to make contributions, but a good man should aim everywhere. If there are really no Japanese pirates, I will resign from the official position and accompany Yan'er to the rivers and lakes. Let's be a couple of gods and gods. "

Mo Jinyan was also attracted by the blueprint drawn by Yu Simian, but he said with some uncertainty: "Is this okay? Brother Yu, are you really going to resign?"

"Yan'er, you think I'll always be an official?" Yu Simian looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Mo Jinyan thought for a while: "I don't know, I just think Brother Yu is very prestigious as an official, but it seems that being an official is not very free. Brother Yu, do you like being an official?"

Yu Simian thought for a while: "I can't say I like it, but sometimes I can do a lot of things, which is what I just said about making contributions. But compared to being with you, these are not so important."

Mo Jinyan pursed his lips and smiled, it turned out that their hearts were connected.

"Yan'er, brother has always wanted to ask you, do you feel bored when you are with me?" Yu Simian asked cautiously.

Mo Jinyan looked at Yu Simian with wide eyes: "Brother Yu, why do you think so?" Mo Jinyan didn't know why Yu Simian thought he would be boring.

Yu Simian took Mo Jinyan's hand and rubbed it in the palm of his hand: "There hasn't been any war recently, and I can't get away from my official duties, and I can't go out to play with Yan'er. With all your skills, you are stuck with me. I'm afraid you'll feel bored in this small place."

Mo Jinyan laughed: "Brother Yu, don't think about it, I'm actually very busy. You asked Brother Chen Liang and Chen to find me a lot of strange things, to relieve my boredom, right? Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, I've been thinking about making a new ship model recently, and I haven't told you about it, because I want to give you a surprise. Last time I sent those ship models and blueprints to Fuzhou Shipyard, Master Lin was very happy, as if he had found a treasure. I studied those ship models and blueprints carefully, and asked someone to send me a letter, saying that the shipyard is going to build a big ship of ten thousand hu, and asked me if I have any ideas. No, I have been thinking about this for a while Woolen cloth."

A smile spread across Yu Simian's face, he was relieved, he felt that he was a little too underestimated, this kid is quite capable of entertaining himself: "Then you already have an idea?"

Mo Jinyan smiled and rolled his eyes: "I made a model boat, and I want Brother Yu to take a look and give me some advice."

In the blink of an eye, Yu Simian thought of a question: "Yan'er, this is what you wanted to tell me just now?"

Mo Jinyan nodded: "Yes. But I want to trouble Brother Yu with something."

"What's the matter? Just say it." Yu Simian was in a good mood, and immediately took care of it.

Mo Jinyan said coyly: "That's right, I want Brother Yu to find me a teacher. Recently, when I was looking for books in your study, I found that I can recognize many characters, but I can't understand their meaning."

Yu Simian was immediately elated: "Why do you want to hire a teacher? Don't you have one at home?"

"what?"

Yu Simian pointed to himself: "Brother, I will be Yan'er's teacher, and I will definitely do my best than any teacher."

Mo Jinyan blushed: "If I don't delay Brother Yu's affairs, then I will always ask Brother Yu if I don't understand."

Yu Simian put his arms around Mo Jinyan's shoulders: "I can not only teach you to read, but I will also teach you to practice martial arts in the future. Let's discuss each other every day, which is conducive to the improvement of kung fu." How could Yu Simian be willing to give up such a good opportunity to others?

Although Mo Jinyan greeted Yu Simian in advance, Yu Simian was still taken aback when he saw the model of the Wanhu boat. This model was so different from the model of the ship in his impression, it was about six feet long and wide. Two feet, it is simply a small boat.

The ship is high at the head and tail, and slightly lower in the middle. It is also the shape of a Dafu ship. It has a pointed bottom and a wide surface. The deck is four stories high. There are five masts, one main mast and four auxiliary masts. Oar outlet.

Yu Simian was speechless: "It's so big? I've never seen a five-masted ship before."

Mo Jinyan said: "This is a large ocean-going ship with a load of tens of thousands of dendrobium. It needs a huge thrust to drive this ship. Therefore, I set up five masts. When the wind is weak, I can set up five sails, which is also very convenient. It is safe. It also arranges upper and lower deck paddlers. At that time, the ship can accommodate thousands of people and thousands of goods, and the speed will not be affected. Such a large ship is not afraid of ordinary hurricanes. of."

Yu Simian listened to Mo Jinyan's description with relish, and couldn't help but feel extremely proud. This is a big boat designed by her own children, and it is not afraid of even hurricanes.

"Yan'er is really amazing." Yu Simian looked at Mo Jinyan with a smile.

Mo Jinyan blushed: "This is just my idea. I haven't had time to verify it with Master Lin and the others. I don't know if it is feasible or not."

Yu Simian looked at Mo Jinyan: "Yan'er, do you want to go to Fuzhou Shipyard?"

Mo Jinyan chuckled and didn't answer.

The answer is self-evident, Yu Simian clapped his hands and stood up: "If this is the case, then hurry up and prepare, we will go to Fuzhou tomorrow."

Mo Jinyan looked at Yu Simian unexpectedly: "Brother Yu, are you going too?"

Yu Simian squinted at him: "If my words are to make a big difference, of course I will personally support them. It's been very peaceful recently, and there's nothing going on in the yamen. I'll go to Fuzhou with you."

Mo Jinyan blushed a little with excitement: "That would be great, thank you Brother Yu."

Building a big ship is not an easy task. Once you have an idea, you have to prove it. Otherwise, after the ship is built, it may not be able to float on the water. Repeated calculations, demonstrations and modifications are required to ensure the ship's buoyancy. sex and stability.

So Mo Jinyan is going to the shipyard to ask Master Lin for help, and to build this boat with everyone.

It was not an easy task to bring the six-foot-long model boat there. Mo Jinyan disassembled the boat, packed it in categories, and then pulled it to Fuzhou in a carriage.

This time, I went directly to the shipyard. If I have more time, I will go to Jiangfu to visit Jiang and his wife.

Compared with building a big ship, Yu Simian pays more attention to why to build a big ship and who wants to build a big ship. This is why he and Mo Jinyan went north to Fuzhou this time.

Master Lin received Mo Jinyan very warmly and arranged them to rest in the guest courtyard of the shipyard.

Mo Jinyan was also unwilling to rest, and as soon as he arrived at the shipyard, he assembled his own ship model.For such a large ship model, including the soil and rock tanks and water storage tanks at the bottom of the ship, none of them were cut corners, and it took nearly two hours to assemble them.

When the ship model was completely displayed in front of the eyes of the masters of the shipyard, almost everyone was stunned.Master Lin asked excitedly: "Xiao Mo, did you design this ship model yourself?"

Mo Jinyan nodded: "Yes."

"It took a lot of work, didn't it?" Someone asked.

Mo Jinyan smiled: "It's been exactly three months since I received Master Lin's letter. The time is a bit rushed, and I'm afraid there are still many things that are not perfect, so I want to bring it here to show to the masters. I don't know if there are any. What reference value."

Everyone's eyes were extremely complicated, some were delighted, envious, and jealous, but they were all admiring.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mo Jinyan said, "I don't know how the shipyard is progressing, can I have a look at the ship model you made?"

When he asked such a question, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer.

Master Lin smiled a little embarrassedly, pulled Mo Jinyan aside, and said quietly: "That's right, Xiao Mo, when I wrote to you last time, it was a person sent by Jingcheng Long Shipyard. My lord, said that the Holy Majesty wanted to build a batch of ten-thousand-dhu sea-going ships, and asked us if we had any ideas and whether they could be built. I thought about it with other masters in the shipyard for a long time, but I didn't come up with a definite plan, so I thought of Write you a letter and ask you to give me some advice."

Mo Jinyan suddenly realized: "Then there is no plan for the shipyard?"

Master Lin nodded.The plan has not been decided, not to mention the ship model. This is the difference between an individual and a team. The same thing is done by an individual and a team, and the individual must complete it faster than the team.After all, many of the linking and running-in links in the middle can be omitted, and there will be no passive sabotage.

A master shipbuilder said, "Master Mo, please lend us your model ship."

Mo Jinyan was just about to nod his head in agreement, when Yu Simian said, "It's okay to lend it to everyone, but the things must be handed over to Master Lin for safekeeping. If this ship can be built in the future, no matter whether it is completely according to this model or not, we have one request. , must sign Xiao Mo's name
