The hurried moment with Lu Shuang did not cause much trouble in Xu You's heart. Seeing her turning from a lowly singer into a mighty tycoon, and with Yuan Qingqi, a towering tree, sheltered from the wind and rain, the future is promising, which is better than staying in Xu's house as a maid serving her daily life.

Everyone has their own destiny. Many people you meet in this life may have a short intersection, a short journey, but they will eventually separate and then move towards their respective ends.

There is nothing greater freedom than personality independence, and nothing more worthy of pursuit than freedom. Therefore, slavery collapsed many years later, so the emperors in the world finally disappeared - of course, even in later generations, the invisible class still exists, and there is no absolute freedom, but at least there are always those brave and fearless people who promote the progress of society with their blood and life.

As the end of the year approaches, Xu Shunhua's letters suddenly became frequent and his tone became increasingly severe. As the first New Year spent in the capital, if Xu You is missing, she will feel particularly uncomfortable.

Xu Youfuxin said that there were still important things that could not be completed. If you were in time, you would go back to Jinling to celebrate the New Year with her. Then, in Zhao Xin's boathouse, Xu You met the two warships that Lu Bozhi said were newly invented by Zu Zhi. One was a square-headed flat-bottomed ship, similar to the sand ship of the descendants. The square head and square tail are wide, large, flat, and shallow. It increased resistance to ramp and roll, and it was not easy to overturn. It also creatively adopted the advanced technology of mortise and tenon joint and iron nail nail connection, with the highest stability in the world. It has many masts and sails, and can travel quickly with the wind and against the wind. It has shallow drafts and is not easy to shelve in shallow water and beaches. It has a load of between 4,000 stones and 6,000 stones. It can be used as the main grain transport ship in the inland rivers and offshore.

The Western Expedition is imminent. With this ship as a helping hand, the pressure on logistics supply will be greatly alleviated. Xu You was very happy and expressed his intention to remember the merits of Zu Yan and named the ship the Steady Dragon Boat.

The other type is a fast troop transport ship, similar to the horse ships in the early Ming Dynasty, named Lilong Boat, with eight masts and eleven sails, twenty-seven zhang long and fifteen zhang wide. The ship is extremely fast and can carry 800 people. There is a partition in the middle, soldiers are accommodated on the top, and food storage equipment are placed below. Two stalks and wood are added to the sides of the quarry. This kind of stalks and wood is the shaking keel of later generations. It is more suitable and economical than the floating boards on both sides of the sea falcon ship in the Tang Dynasty. No matter how big the wind and waves are, there is no danger of tilting.

At the same time, Zu Zhi also showed a lot of black technology, most of which were the ideas proposed by Xu You, and they were all turned into reality one by one by one by him. For example, adding a rudder blade on the rudder rod, also called a balance blade, to save effort by rudder operation. For example, the lift, lowering the rudder when sailing deep water can not only improve the rudder efficiency and improve drift resistance; when sailing shallow water, the rudder is raised to protect the rudder from being damaged by the reefs under the water. In addition, an open-hole rudder was invented, which is to make some small holes on the rudder blade, which not only saves effort by turning the rudder, but also does not affect the performance of the rudder due to the surface ability of the water. The anchors were also improved. Previously, the anchor teeth of the iron anchors were arranged on the same side, and after being put into place, they may not necessarily grasp the ground or the bottom of the water, and often cannot play an anchoring role. The anchor teeth were changed to evenly arranged in the circumference. No matter how they were thrown, there were always some anchor teeth that could grasp the ground or the bottom of the river.

However, the darkest black technology, and the greatest invention, is the watertight bulkhead. The principle is to use cabin plates to divide the cabin into several independent cabins that are different from each other, and use tung putty to the bottom, and the flat iron and iron nail nails to connect, which is extremely strong. When a ship hits a reef, collisions, etc., causes the hull to be damaged, even if a certain cabin enters water, it will not affect other cabins, thereby improving the ship's resistance to sinking.

This item alone has pushed the world's shipbuilding technology for hundreds of years!

Next, according to the previous agreement, Zhao Xin Chuanfang and Yangzhou Guanfang jointly built ships, and they must equip the army within three months. After these shipments were completed, it was almost the end of the year. Xu You said goodbye to everyone and went to meet Gu Changyong when he passed through Wu County. He asked him to act as a matchmaker and go to Zhang's naming to pick up marriage.

This kind of friendship is hard to meet with the generals of the current dynasty. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, in addition to Huo Qubing, a few unmarried generals have? Gu Changyong agreed happily and started to prepare himself.

The so-called picking is the etiquette of picking, so the ritual of the silence is given and the geese are adopted. Although ordinary families nowadays use big geese to replace big geese, it is not difficult for the Gu family to find a geese to make a geese. As for other gifts, Xu You doesn’t need to worry about it, and the Gu family will be fully covered.

Xu You arrived in Jinling on the 27th day of the New Year. This was the first grand festival after the new lord ascended the throne. Taichang Temple originally wanted to do something, but An Xiulin refused. Not only that, he also issued an edict to explain to his subjects the principle of "politics are about saving money, and rituals are peaceful and frugal" and called on the people to advocate frugality, and set an example, wearing cloth clothes and covering cloth quilts, without any carvings in the palace, nor using gold, silver and jade, and was kind-hearted and worried, constraining oneself to work hard, which set a good start for the new dynasty's governing philosophy, and changed the era to Yuanxing, announcing a general amnesty for the whole world.

Almost at the same time, Yao Ji from Liang Kingdom also officially changed the reign of the Golden Bird, but the undercurrents in the country were surging, loyal to the old emperor and the crown prince Yao Jin.

The people made some noise from time to time, which made him tired of dealing with it and were very annoyed. Finally, in order to stabilize the domestic situation, in order to stabilize the domestic situation, many officials were amnesty to win over the country and frequently and intensive personnel mobilizations. Officials who were once loyal to Yao Yan and Yao Jin were liquidated in large numbers, and those who were released from outside were demoted, and those who were demoted were placed in their own people. Then, they followed Wen Ziyou's advice and imposed an additional three years of taxes, forced the people outside the conscription households to join the army, and hoarded food and grass, expanded their arms to conquer Yao Jin at any time and deal with any possible interference and wars at home and abroad.

The imperial capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty - Pingcheng.

Pingcheng is divided into three parts: Imperial City, Capital City and Guocheng. The imperial city is located in the north, and is the residence of the emperor, with Lingtai Mountain, a wall and pool garden, double ridges, ten thousand feet of ten thousand feet, nine streets and four roads, feather flags and forests, and halls, which are no less than Jinling Taicheng.

To the south of the imperial city is the capital city, which is twenty miles in a radius, and is divided into cities. It is built by Tudong. It has houses lined up, with people and gods gathered together, singing stages, dancing pavilions, moon halls and cloud halls. In addition, the aristocrats and common people live strictly separately and are not allowed to live in a mixed place. Violators will be punished seriously.

The city of Guo surrounds the south of the palace, and returns 32 miles around, and is built into yards. Alleys are opened in the yard. The largest ones include four or five hundred schools, six or seventy schools, temples, markets, gardens, fields, medicine gardens, halls, and altars.

The weather in January is still like the face of a mother-in-law, which is always cold and makes people feel heart-wrenching. The streets are no longer as lively and prosperous as before. The New Year atmosphere has dissipated in the howling north wind. Although the war with Rouran has lasted for three months, the broken walls and broken walls and white clothes in every household still deeply affects the daily lives of the people.

Yu Zhong wore a narrow collar and narrow robe, covered with mink fur, wide-leg tight-lipped pants, stuffed into his horse boots, and wore a dome-shaped Xianbei-style hood. The front edge was located on the forehead, with a sash hanging down to the shoulders on both sides. His hands were caged in his sleeves in the north, and slowly walked from a small alley in the capital to Lifang in Guocheng.

After he returned to Beijing with Yuan Mulan, he was idle at home for a while, and then he was transferred to the Houguan Cao and promoted to the Longque who was Neihouguan. However, Longquelou, who was once in charge of the egret in Jiangdong, was the opposite. He was completely tired of the Houguan Cao's career, and he transferred to the military palace through the relationship between the Lou family. He was about to be released to the county and become the local garrison leader. It can be foreseeable that the two people in the future will embark on completely different paths.

The afternoon sky was gloomy, and more than twenty fast horses galloped by, which made Yu Zhong look dusty. He spitted out in disappointment, but he didn't make any trouble. Just glanced at those two eyes and saw that it was Yuan Ke's playboy. As Yuan Yu's fifth son, he had always been very domineering. He could not afford to offend him or hide. The best way was to turn a blind eye.

When he arrived at the eastern suburbs of Guocheng, Yu Zhong first found a wine shop to have a few glasses of wine, then went out through the back door while peeing, passed through two or three streets, and flashed into a felt tent.

After the founding of the Tuoba clan, Hu and Han blended together, and the architectural styles in Pingcheng also followed this feature, including Han wooden buildings and Hu dome-style felt tents.

Felt tents are divided into two types: round and square. For example, Yu Zhongjin's one is a square Felt tent. There are two skylights on the top. A rope is tied to the skylight, one end is tied to the skylight and the other end is tied to the ring on the rear wall. The opening and closing of the skylight can be controlled. Rectangular windows are opened on both sides of the left and right sides, and on both sides of the front wall door for breathability and lighting. The entire felt tent structure is an umbrella-shaped bracket made of wooden strips or willow strips, and is tied and tied with ropes, and then covered with felt or other fabrics.

The capacity of felt tents varies. The small ones can accommodate four or five people, and the large ones can accommodate hundreds of people. The famous Hundred Sects in Wei State have a shape of ropes intersecting, with wooden branches and branches covered with green silks, and are flat and round, which is also quite gorgeous and grand.

There was a Han man named Huo Fuhai in the felt tent. He is now an ordinary friend of Hu family Bufang. Bufang belongs to Hu Jiuli's industry. The Hu surname was originally a Han surname changed by the Hegu clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Hu Jiuli and Yu Zhong were close friends. He fabricated the origin of Huo Fuhai and recommended him to Bufang to make a living.
