What if Cangzhou also wants to build a port?

What does this mean? Shopkeeper Hua was stunned for a moment. The expression on his face was as dull as possible. But after a while, his initial helpless expression disappeared and was replaced by unconcealable ecstasy. He stared.

Staring at Zhang Shou with wide eyes, even his voice was trembling: "Dr. Zhang, are you kidding? Are you serious?"

Zhang Shou knew that what others were looking forward to most at this moment was definitely for him to answer seriously, so naturally he took it seriously. However, his reaction was to smile nonchalantly: "Oh, Shopkeeper Hua, don't take it too seriously, I just said it casually.

explain."

Shopkeeper Hua almost choked to death at Zhang Shou's casual tone. How could he believe that Zhang Shou was just talking - especially when the other party asked him at the very beginning why the Hua family was not engaged in sea trade, and then questioned him carefully.

After a lot of reasoning, and a clear understanding of everything in detail, such a question was raised, saying that it was not prepared... Who would believe it!

At this moment, he took a deep breath in his heart, and then forced a smile and said: "Dr. Zhang, how can this kind of thing be a joke?"

"Actually, it's not a joke. The teacher has been here for the past few days, sometimes discussing astronomy with me, and sometimes discussing water control. He gave me another question before, which was to use arithmetic to calculate the sedimentation situation in the east coast channel of Cangzhou.

Since it is related to the waterway, I was so confused before that I just made a mistake and casually said the word "building a port."

Use arithmetic to calculate the sedimentation situation of the coastal waterway east of Cangzhou? What the hell is this? Can arithmetic be put to such a use? Shopkeeper Hua's brows were already furrowed into big knots, his face full of disbelief.

Zhang Shou knew that the other party must have such a reaction, and since he chose to take Teacher Ge out to take the blame again, of course he was prepared, and he said calmly: "The Yellow River changed its course back then and entered the sea from Zhangweixin River, but later it changed its course.

Gradually moving southward, it seizes the Huaihe River and enters the sea. The coastal area east of Cangzhou is less affected by the sediment from the Yellow River entering the sea, but is more affected by seawater and wind erosion, and it has become today's coastline."

"There are also people from Qin Tianjian here in Cangzhou who record the customs. There are fewer windy days in summer and winter along the coast of Cangzhou, but there are many windy days in autumn, accounting for one-fifth of the windy days in the whole year. In spring, there are more windy days, accounting for

Half of the year, and such windy days may cause waves to entrain sediment and lead to siltation of waterways..."

As he spoke, Zhang Shou suddenly reached behind his back, and Ah Liu, who seemed to have been dozing off just now, immediately opened his eyes, took a small baggage on his back with great speed, and took out pen, ink, and paper...

…and a paperweight.

The pen was a quill, and the ink was ink from a porcelain bottle. He skillfully spread the paper for Zhang Shou on a small table beside him, then pressed it down with a paperweight, then dipped the quill in the ink and sent it to Zhang Shou.

The action was so familiar and gentle that the little peanut beside him was amazed and wanted to help, but found that he couldn't help at all.

Shopkeeper Hua on the side just listened to Zhang Shou writing and saying in a very plain tone: "If arithmetic is to play a role in calculating channel sedimentation, it must establish relevant models to simulate the movement of sediment in strong winds and waves, so as to reflect the sediment movement."

The law of sand movement and the law of channel sedimentation. Of course, first we have to describe the wave changes in strong winds."

“In the rectangular coordinate system, the dynamic spectrum equilibrium equation of waves is?/?t n+?/?x cx n+?/?y cy n+?/?σ cσ n+?/?θ cθ n=s/σ… And

The mathematical expression of sediment movement based on the combined force of waves and currents is (?(hs))/?t+(?(hu s))/?x+(?(hv s))/?y+..."

"..."

Shopkeeper Hua watched Zhang Shou writing rustlingly on the paper. Although his eyes could see the symbols, he only felt dizzy. Let alone understand, he simply became more and more drowsy as he read. In the end, he even

There was a sense of awe as if he were reading a book from heaven. And he didn’t understand any of the words Zhang Shou said, such as wind increasing water, wind increasing flow, wave generating flow, etc.

It wasn't just him, Little Peanut tried hard to identify the words written by Zhang Shou, and the more he read, the more he felt that there were little stars in front of his eyes. When it was too much, he could only glance at Ah Liu next to him as if asking for help, and then lightly

She gently tugged on his sleeve and asked pitifully: "Brother Six, do you understand?"

The next moment, he saw Ah Liu glance at him sideways, as if to say, are you a fool? Thinking that Old Xianyu had scolded him for not reading, he was immediately ashamed, but then he heard

Ah Liu's voice.

"I'm not Mrs. Ge or Lu Sanlang, how can I possibly understand them!"

Shopkeeper Hua's heart immediately moved. Of course Lu Sanlang knew that he was once one of the famous dandy boys in the capital. Now he is the chief of Jiuzhang Hall, a prodigal son who has been personally praised by the emperor. But hearing this tone, he can actually be reconciled to him.

How can I compare with Mrs. Ge? Just as he was thinking this, he just heard Zhang Shou curse without raising his head.

"Ah Liu, if Teacher Ge heard that you were juxtaposing him with Lu Sanlang, I would have to stare you to death!"

But Ah Liu raised the corner of his mouth and said nonchalantly: "Master Ge is very generous. He said that his greatest hope is to be better than his master. He told me last time that he hoped that the young master could surpass him in the future, and that Lu Sanlang would be better than him in the future.

Can surpass the young master."

Zhang Shou suddenly burst into laughter. He put down his pen and handed the two pieces of paper densely written with formulas to Shopkeeper Hua. Seeing that he took them with a stiff face, he calmly said: "This is the calculation between me and the teacher."

To sum up, the amount of sediment from the Yellow River entering the sea is completely different in drought years and flood years, and the impact on the waterway east of the Cangzhou coast..."

Listening to Zhang Shou's lengthy conclusion, shopkeeper Hua felt that his days were like years, and for the first time he regretted questioning someone's professional field. To sum up, these four words sound easy, but the question is what Zhang Shou said before.

Only then did we come to this conclusion!

Zhang Shou finally waited until Zhang Shou finished speaking. When he heard that the sediment from wind and waves in the outer sea was more likely to cause siltation in the waterway, and that it was the outer waterway, he was finally relieved. He squeezed out a smile and said cautiously: "Dr. Zhang, what did you say?"

I understand, will the construction of a port in Cangzhou be successful?"

Before he could finish asking whether the siltation of the channel would affect the construction of the port, Zhang Shou's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Oh? Shopkeeper Hua, do you understand? Then this dynamic balance equation..."

Little Peanut glanced pityingly at Shopkeeper Hua, who was earth-colored under Zhang Shou's eloquent words. When he saw the boy behind him, he couldn't help but reach out to wipe his sweat. He couldn't help but think to himself, if Shopkeeper Hua was stupider, he just admitted that he didn't listen.

Do you understand, now you don’t have to bear the bombardment of such terrifying mathematical knowledge? However, when he thought about it again, he couldn’t help but sigh.

If Shopkeeper Hua had just said that he didn't understand it instead of saying that he understood it... maybe Zhang Shou would have explained it even more, right?

After experiencing the baptism of explanations of complex equations again, Shopkeeper Hua finally understood why this young man could take on the post of Doctor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Because Zhang Shou is really a good teacher! This time, he saw the loophole and simply He frankly admitted his poor talent, and then asked Cangzhou in an extremely sincere tone whether it was possible to build a port.

But this time, Zhang Shou finally spoke up, and his answer was unusually direct: "Cangzhou is close to the canal, and the Jihe River flows directly into the sea. In terms of geography and hydrology, although it is not as good as Tianjin, it is not far behind. As for the sedimentation of the waterway, it is not far behind. , as long as it’s not a big ship worth tens of thousands of stones, it’s not a problem. But the biggest problem now is...the court has no money!”

The young man behind Shopkeeper Hua was almost dumbfounded. The court has no money... Why are you saying that the court has no money? Are you kidding people? The shopkeeper must be furious right now! However, when he turned his head to look at When looking at Shopkeeper Hua, he was surprised to find that not only was the shopkeeper not angry, his face was even filled with some kind of surprise that he couldn't understand at all!

"It's not surprising that the imperial court can't allocate money and food for a while. After all, the world is so big that money is needed everywhere. The emperor is already considered the most frugal emperor in history. In addition, the ministers often block it. We can also feel the same pain. "

Shopkeeper Hua's words were very beautiful. When Zhang Shou smiled slightly and did not answer his words, he tried to say: "The Hua family can contact the businessmen in Suzhou. In fact, everyone has a heart to serve the country..."

Seeing Zhang Shou, he smiled and said nothing. He didn't know that his excuse was not very clever, so he simply changed his mind and said bluntly: "To the north of Suzhou, Yangzhou Prefecture and Huai'an Prefecture are also close to the sea, but to the east of Yangzhou Prefecture There are many sandbanks in front of it, which is not conducive to shipping. Huai'an Prefecture also has complex hydrology because the Yellow River diverts the Huai River into the sea. Haizhou is a port, but it is not connected to the canal..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shou said with a smile: "If it is Haizhou, it is possible to walk from Huai'an to Andong, then from Hongze Lake Waterway to Lianhe River, right?"

"Yes, but no." Shopkeeper Hua did not expect that Zhang Shou was so familiar with the geography of Jiangnan. He knew that he could no longer be secretive and simply said straightforwardly, "Although salt is not a specialty now, the quality of Huai salt is famous throughout the southeast. Yes, rich people need the best quality Huai salt, and even use salt to bathe, so there are all kinds of merchants in Huai'an, and Su merchants don't have much advantage."

After all, do you businessmen in Suzhou have enemies on all sides? That's not the case. Will you be bullied like this when you leave your hometown?

Zhang Shou thought that this matter was a bit strange, and his doubts were clearly revealed in his eyes.

Regarding his doubts, Shopkeeper Hua simply gave up and exposed his shortcomings: "Back then, Grandpa Taizu opposed Liu Jiagang, and later he once told people that Su Song had half the wealth in the world, so Suzhou has always been the target of public criticism in the southeast. Everyone says that Suzhou is not popular with Grandpa Taizu...but in fact, this is not the case at all!"

"If you are so literal-minded, wouldn't Grandpa Taizu also dislike Songjiang?"

Although Shopkeeper Hua stopped talking when he said this, Zhang Shou still felt it was a bit funny. However, he didn't want to pursue some too long history. At this time, he just squinted his eyes slightly and said calmly. He said: "Speaking of which, isn't it too expensive to transport Suzhou's silk from Suzhou to Cangzhou via the canal waterway, and then out to sea?"

Shopkeeper Hua hurriedly raised his voice and said: "We can bear the extra cost..."

It's better than being stuck in the throat by those damn profiteers, buying it at a low price, and then sending it overseas to sell it at a higher price! It's really not possible... He thought of the dilemma of redundant manpower that Cangzhou would have to face in the future, and he took a breath and said,

One sentence said: "In the future, we can send all the tows to Cangzhou, recruit a group of weavers in Cangzhou, and then send the finished products out to sea!"

Zhang Shou immediately laughed: "Instead of sending some silk all the way from Suzhou, and then recruiting local helpers to weave it into silk and sell it, why not plant trees locally in Cangzhou and raise tussah silkworms? Although tussah silkworms are not as good as mulberry silkworms,

The silk is spun out, but its low price is also its advantage. Of course, if you think it is profitable to transport the finished silk, you can send it from Suzhou to Cangzhou."

Shopkeeper Hua had just said that bravely, but now he breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, how many people in Suzhou rely on silk weaving for a living. If silk weaving is really transferred to Cangzhou, even if it is only a small part, the situation in Suzhou will definitely be more terrifying than the scene before Cangzhou -

-Because there are more people in Suzhou, once there are more unemployed people, there will be chaos! As for whether there will be changes in Songjiang due to the new spinning machines...who cares whether they live or die!

He quickly agreed without thinking, but when he was about to continue finalizing the issue of capital contribution, Zhang Shou said with a half-smile: "The court is short of money, but the money it lacks is actually not much, and he wants to give it to the court."

In fact, there are many people who send money. Just yesterday, a big silk merchant from Luzhou came all the way to inquire about whether I have a new loom that can be used for silk weaving."

Seeing that shopkeeper Hua was tense, Zhang Shou smiled and said: "Silk weaving is different from cotton weaving, so of course the machines are also different. I also hope to make a machine that doubles the efficiency, but unfortunately, this cannot be done in a short time.

It was accomplished overnight.”

Hearing these words, the young man behind Shopkeeper Hua felt relieved, thinking that Suzhou and Cangzhou would not have trouble like this in a short time, but Shopkeeper Hua would not be so relaxed. Sure enough, what Zhang Shou said immediately after,

It completely confirmed his hunch.

"When I heard that Cangzhou might open a port, that person took the place of the Luzhou businessmen who dealt in Lu silk and expressed his heart to him that he would do his best to donate money to help."

Shopkeeper Hua immediately pinched his palm lightly with his nails, reminding himself that this was the right thing to do, and there was no need to be discouraged, let alone panic. He tried his best to maintain the most stable and decent smile, and said calmly: "That's it, Beishang is controlled by Tianjin

Chaos has been going on for a long time.”

He glanced at Zhang Shou secretly, and did not continue to ask about Tianjin's reaction or other topics, but said straightforwardly: "In that case, on behalf of Suzhou Merchants, I can undertake 30% of all expenses for the construction of Cangzhou Port, and also ask Dr. Zhang to

Wan plays for me!"

The 30% share was something he had just calculated over and over again in his mind. It could not only guarantee the corresponding voice and share, but also not easily irritate other northern merchants. More importantly, he could challenge those who supported the construction of Cangzhou in the DPRK behind Zhang Shou.
