Chapter 859 wait and see
Royal fruit Jia Ping'an thinks that's the case, and it's not fresh.
"Very sweet!"
Su Ho, the most outstanding rice cooker in Lao Jia's family, appraised the freshness of the pears.
With expert identification, Wei Wushuang began to peel pears, one for each of the two children, and she peeled another one and handed it to Jia Pingan.
"Don't eat."
Jia Pingan had always judged that it was not fresh enough, but now he firmly shook his head.
"Husband, it's delicious." A woman's love for fruit knows no time and space.
"What's delicious?" Jia Pingan said disgustedly: "Back then I ate one and threw one away."
"Aye, it's delicious." The boss felt that Aye missed the deliciousness.
"This pear is not to my taste, you can eat it."
DouDou took a bite and lifted the pear up, "Yeah!"
The white and tender pear meat is very attractive, and the juice is swaying in the nest bitten out by Dou Dou...
I go!
Good pears!
Jia Pingan got up, "I'm going out for a stroll."
He glanced at Li again, and then went out with his hands behind his back.
Just a few steps away, Su Ho chased him out, stuffed a pear in his hand, and then ran away laughing and tractor-like.
"I said not to eat!"
The face of the head of the family couldn't bear it anymore.
This woman!
Jia Pingan took a hard bite.
So sweet!
Eating pears all the way to the front yard.
Wang Laoer and Xu Xiaoyu sat under the eaves muttering something, Wang Laoer was making gestures, probably teaching him the unique skills of scouting.
Du He was talking with his son, and seeing his stern face, he was probably scolding.
The weather was refreshing, and Di Renjie's family of three also appeared.
"Huaiying."
Jia Pingan smiled.
Di Renjie handed over, and his wife was blessed.
"The weather is fine, take them to Qujiang Pond."
Lao Di's wife looked a little shy, with a slightly bulging stomach.
Isn't that fat?
pregnant?
I remember that Di Renjie has three sons, the eldest is ordinary, the second is good, and the third is a disaster.
Jia Pingan wandered slowly in Daodefang.
The crops in the field have been harvested, and at this moment, there are stubbles of poles left, and groups of birds are looking for food in them; several dogs are watching this scene comfortably not far away, probably knowing that they cannot catch birds The two cows are looking for food in the field, and the two cowherd boys are sitting on the ridge of the field fighting grass.
It was noon, and there was a lot of cooking smoke in Daodefang. Jia Pingan looked at it, and there were dozens of smoke missing, which meant that dozens of households were cooking lunch.
Cooking smoke curls up, hovering or flying on the roof, like an ink painting.
Ordinary people have always been on a two-meal system, with two meals in the morning and one night. The dozens of smoke at this moment represent that the two-meal system is gradually shaking.
"The people are getting richer now, so they can have a meal at noon."
"Brother Cui?"
Cui Jian came and stood side by side with Jia Pingan.
His face is relaxed, but this relaxation looks fake.
"Some people say that the family is a disaster, and some people say that the family is the mainstay..." Cui Jian said, "If the family is a disaster, everyone in the world will shout and beat..."
But not.
Cui Jian's words made Jia Ping'an laugh.
"Brother Cui is being pressured by the family?"
"How do you know?" Cui Jian was a little curious.
You **** didn't shake my hand!
"Aristocratic families are good or bad...Actually, you should not judge a family by good or bad, but by its pros and cons." Jia Ping'an felt that judging good and bad is playing hooliganism.
"The aristocratic family is very powerful, and it is called the emperor of the earth. What good is it for the world? It is nothing more than saying that our aristocratic family provides talents, but the aristocratic family provides talents on the basis of monopolizing the right to education."
Jia Pingan always found this funny.
"What are the benefits?" Jia Pingan said with a smile: "Don't say that the family has the world in mind, and the people in the heart... I will laugh my teeth out."
"In the eyes of the aristocratic family..." Cui Jian hesitated, "Only myself."
"Brother Cui is open-minded!"
Cui Jian is indeed open-minded, and Jia Pingan also revealed his heart, "From the moment the aristocratic family was born, their goal has never been the well-being of the people in the world, but the rise and fall of a family. The common people are like cattle and horses, watching their bones exposed in the wild without moving..."
"Brother Cui, the so-called aristocratic family is actually a shrunken royal family!"
Cui Jian changed color, "Where is it?!"
"hehe!"
The origin of the aristocratic family is very early. For example, in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, it was magnificent in the Qin Dynasty and the former Han Dynasty.
"After the advancement, the family's performance... With all due respect, it's like a piece of grass, more like a hungry wolf."
Cui Jian sighed, "Duke Yixuan is in office...he's gone."
Old Cui went?
Cui Yixuan's departure brought Cui's people to a big gathering, and then Cui Jian was sprayed for a long time.
"Say I'm a doctor of the official department but I don't contribute to Cui's family, scold me!" Cui Jian looked helpless, "But he forced him..."
"The breeze blows the hills." Jia Pingan laughed.
"He does whatever he wants, and the moon shines on the river!"
The two read this passage aloud.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Cui Jian said indifferently: "I still need someone to teach me what I do?"
"Brother Cui... Be tough!"
On the second day, Jia Ping'an was just about to get up, and Doudou was guarding outside the door.
"Aye, Zhaodi said that there are a lot of Hu merchants in the West Market, and they have made a lot of delicious food. Aye, remember to bring me some back!"
This girl...
Jia Pingan, who was dressing, glared at Su Ho, and said in a low voice, "You brought it all out!"
Su Ho curled up under the blanket and pretended to be a dead dog.
Jia Ping'an followed the shape of the quilt and slapped her butt.
Soho remained motionless.
Open the door and go out, the daughter is sitting on the steps, resting her chin on her hands.
My niece is so quiet...a lady.
Jia Pingan walked to the front, only to find that DouDou had a longing face, almost drooling.
After breakfast, DouDou specially sent Aye out to make the old father feel good.
Standing outside the door, Duodou shouted: "Aye, remember!"
"knew."
Many people gathered behind the square gate. It was getting dark at the moment, and a group of people were talking nonsense. You said what to do today, and I said what to do today.
"Boss Song, can you stop making such a big fuss in your mother's night? It's so noisy that people can't sleep."
"If you can't sleep, you can toss with the lady! If you have the ability, you can toss it so hard that I can't sleep."
Yang Deli came, he had a straight face, and the two men who were showing off their abilities in bed stopped.
"Meet Yang Yushi."
The censor's deterrence is much stronger than the kind Duke Jia.
"Peace, I just have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
Yang Deli has a beard now, but it is a bit sparse, and he is thin, so he looks like a traitor.
He twirled a few beards, "Your Majesty is sick again. I heard you say that His Majesty's illness is related to diet, and it must be light. In addition, it is female sex..."
Jia Pingan nodded.
The diet must be light, and women should not be indulged in sexual desires. Not to mention chaste desires, but restraint.
"Cousin, why do you ask this?"
"Just ask."
Yang Deli's eyes became more serious.
Jia Ping'an went to the Ministry of Industry.
"Yan Gong!"
Yan Liben, who was in the duty room, heard the voice and said, "Yesterday it was said that I was treating guests, why didn't Xiao Jia come?"
Flying pigeons has always been an abomination.
Jia Pingan entered the guard room and said with a smile, "I'm worried that Mr. Yan won't be able to swallow the food."
"The old man's mind is full of those projects, he can eat well and sleep well."
Yan Liben felt that this guy was amusing himself.
Jia Pingan sat down, "The Ministry of Industry is about to let go of its hands and feet."
"what for?"
Yan Liben put down the blueprint in his hand, Jia Pingan glanced at it, it turned out to be the blueprint of the main hall.
"Shipbuilding." Jia Pingan picked up the blueprint and looked at it, "Yesterday I went to the palace to ask His Majesty, and I fought with the Prime Minister... His Majesty promised to restore the original share of shipbuilding."
This matter is good for the Ministry of Industry.
Jia Pingan said with piercing eyes: "Mr. Yan, another painting? This time I want a figure painting...for example...the Lord Yan also went to Zhaoling to present prisoners last time. Here is one? But...can you highlight it..."
Jia Ping'an raised his eyebrows.
Yan Liben's painting: Presentation of Prisoners in Zhaoling Mausoleum. Draw a group of enemy chieftains, many soldiers, important ministers of the emperor...the most prominent one is a general.
Later generations will see, isn’t this the general Jia Ping’an?
Tsk tsk!
Such vanity-satisfied joy!
Lao Tzu wants to live forever.
Yan Liben looked at him with a calm expression, and suddenly grabbed the blueprint, and said lightly: "Last time, this old man mentioned too much about shipbuilding, and he lost all face when he was reprimanded by Minister of the Household Department Lu Chengqing. Although Lu Chengqing left, the Household Department Those who are stingy will not bow their heads. You have to know, as long as they can save some expenses, it is convenient for them, and it is their political achievements, so...it is interesting to lie to me?"
This young man has turned bad!
Yan Liben shook his head and sighed, and continued to look at the drawings...Xiao Jia, where are you from?
Jia Pingan smiled instead of anger, "Yan Gong, what if it is done? That painting..."
Yan Liben said absent-mindedly: "If it is done, I will draw a picture of presenting prisoners in Zhaoling for you..."
"A word from a gentleman." Jia Pingan's eyes lit up.
"Come on!" Yan Liben said casually.
I'm going to get rich!
Jia Ping'an was overjoyed.
"Cough! Shangshu."
The waiter Huang Wan came.
Seeing that Jia Ping'an was also there, he nodded in greeting, "Cough! Thank you, Duke Jia."
Yan Liben raised his head and smiled, "Why are you thanking him? Did he give you good tea?"
Huang Wan likes to drink tea, and he was one of the first fans after Jia's fried tea came out.
Huang took a step forward at night, and said happily: "Ahem! Shangshu, just now someone from the court came, saying that the original number of shipbuilding is to be restored, and the Ministry of Industry hastened to get it up."
Yan Liben was startled, and slowly looked at Jia Pingan.
Jia Ping'an's eyes were calm, even calm.
"Those craftsmen have to use their work to support them. If there are not enough ships for them to build, they will gradually become unfamiliar...Xiao Jia..."
Yan Liben suddenly thought of what he had promised earlier.
"You did it on purpose!" He pointed at Jia Ping'an and said with a smile, "You Jia Ping'an, you actually used words to trick the old man, and Zhaoling presented a picture of the prisoner... That scene was huge, was this trying to drain the old man's hard work?"
"Painting is an act of cultivating sentiment."
Of course Jia Pingan would not admit it, so he changed the subject by re-talking.
"Mr. Yan, do you have blueprints for the ships originally built by the Ministry of Industry?"
"Yes." Huang Wan nodded.
"Can you give Jia a look?"
"Ahem! It's easy to say, just wait, Duke Jia."
Master Jia has just done a big favor to the Ministry of Industry, so Huang Wan is very refreshing.
When the drawings came later, Huang Wan smiled.
This guy thinks I'm looking at it for nothing?
Jia Pingan glanced at it.
In later generations, a battleship needs countless parts and components, too numerous to count. But the wooden boat at the moment is much simpler and clear at a glance.
This boat is a flat-bottomed boat, and Jia Pingan disliked it for this alone.
If you want to go on a long voyage, the first thing you need to do is the shape of the ship. Is a punt any good? good! When the wind is not strong, it is as stable as sitting on land.
But it’s over after going to sea. Why is this era afraid of long-distance voyages? The first is because of insufficient navigation means; the second is that ships are prone to capsize after encountering wind and waves.
It is a tragedy for a flat-bottomed boat to encounter wind and waves, and it can only be resisted by its own weight.
"This...is not good."
Jia Pingan shook his head.
Huang Wan frowned, most of the goodwill and gratitude towards Jia Ping'an that had just been born dissipated, "Ahem! What does Junjun Jia mean by this?"
"I said... this ship type is still the same, not good!"
Jia Ping'an asked: "Maybe this kind of flat-bottomed boat sails far? During the expedition to Liaodong last time, the fleet transporting grain and grass encountered a storm. The storm was not too big, but most of it capsized in the end..."
It's not too far from Dengzhou to the peninsula, but in the eyes of the Datang navy, it is always in crisis.
You're bragging!
Huang Wan smiled and said, "Ahem! What Junjun Jia said...do you have a better idea?"
Yan Liben heard the smell of gunpowder, and coughed dryly, "Don't be aggressive, Huang Shilang."
The old man is aggressive?
Wasn't he, Jia Ping'an, who questioned the old man first?
Huang Wan felt as if she had met her stepmother's child, "Ahem! Shangshu, these craftsmen racked their brains to figure out these ship models. There are so many people and so many talents. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I can't find a place to buy it. There is room for improvement, the flawless shape of the ship, but Junjun Jia can’t say it well... This is humiliating the craftsmen, and even more so, the old man.”
Huang Silang... Huang Shilang's words did not anger Jia Ping'an.
"Times have changed, Huang Shilang, you must dare to innovate. If you stick to your old ways, with all due respect, the Datang Navy will never be able to go out of the sea!"
"Cough! Why go to the far sea?"
Huang Wan didn't understand even more, "The navy of the Tang Dynasty only guarded the sea area. Now that Liaodong has recovered, why go to the far sea?"
"I just now understand why some are out of place..."
Jia Ping'an finally realized why he felt out of place.
In his mind, he clearly knows the future course of history, what is wrong with this Tang Dynasty, and when to do things... But others don't know!
Look at Huang Wan, with a disapproving look on her face, that confident look reminds Jia Pingan of Jia Yu... That baby always looks confident.
"There are great interests overseas." Jia Ping'an is working very hard, "But if you want to grab those interests from overseas, it is impossible to rely on the feet of the army. The only way is to build a huge fleet that can sail long distances in wind and waves. "
"Cough!" Huang Wan said with a smile: "Overseas interests, how big are the interests? Trying a new ship type rashly for this reason?"
"The benefits that can make Datang reborn!"
Jia Pingan became more and more impatient, "This matter has passed the test of His Majesty and the prime ministers. If not, how could His Majesty agree to large-scale shipbuilding?"
"Yes..." Huang Wan was a little confused.
What are the benefits of going abroad...the benefits that can make His Majesty and the prime ministers tempted. But Jia Pingan didn't say anything. Forget it, what Jia Pingan said is not bad...but the shape of the ship is going to change, where should it change?
"Ahem! The old man will naturally discuss with the craftsmen about the shape of the ship."
You just stop.
Huang Wan regained her confidence.
"I have a boat type."
Jia Pingan took Yan Liben's brush, and pulled a piece of paper... Old Yan's hands were empty, helpless.
Spike-bottomed boat!
Jia Ping'an drew a sharp-bottomed boat, but his painter...Look at Yan Liben, with a confused face.
"Xiao Jia, what are you?"
"Steep-bottomed boat." Jia Pingan took a look at his masterpiece, it was crooked, and the large gap between the front and rear proportions made people despair...
I am not good at drawing, but I can see the general shape anyway!
Jia Pingan coughed dryly, "This boat has a sharp bottom, so the lower part goes deep into the water and becomes one with the water. When the wind and waves come, the boat will sway, but because of the deep draft, it can recover no matter how it sways..."
The biggest disadvantage of sharp-bottomed boats and flat-bottomed boats is that there are fewer cargo and personnel.
"Ahem! This boat..." Huang Wan's eyes widened. "I'm afraid this boat will capsize crookedly if it hits the water."
hehe!
Foolish people!
Jia Ping'an knew that no matter what he said, he would not be convincing.
"So, wait and see."
His eyes are bright.
"Cough! Build a model?" Huang Wan smiled and said, "I'll wait and see."
After Jia Ping'an left, Yan Liben sighed: "Xiao Jia is impulsive, but he is kind. This boat...Huang Shilang, although I don't know how to build ships, but...Xiao Jia has never been aimless..."
At the beginning, Jia Pingan said that he could solve the reefs blocking the waterway in Sanmenxia, who believed it? As a great craftsman, Yan Liben didn't believe it, but in the end he was slapped in the face.
"Little Huang, be careful."
Yan Liben hinted earnestly.
Huang Wan said confidently: "Ahem! Shangshu doesn't know, this new ship type has to go through preliminary planning, at least a few years at this stage, and then there is testing, at least to build several ships one after another, one by one, Improving when problems are found... This stage will take years to say the least.
If a brand new boat wants to be successful, at least five years. Mr. Jia made a sharp-bottomed boat... Forgive me for saying it bluntly, the Shangshu thinks this kind of boat model can be done out of thin air? "
"Yeah!" Yan Liben was also quite puzzled, "but he looked quite confident. You two are arguing. The old man is a bystander. Xiao Jia was fine at first, but the way he looked at you from behind... reminds me of the time when I was teaching children. At that time, the child refused to change after repeated admonitions, and even talked back...Xiao Jia looked at you like an old man back then."
Co-author Is the old man an ignorant baby? Jia Pingan regarded some insightful truths as unreasonable retorts... Huang Wan's face flushed.
He said firmly; "Ahem! Don't worry, Shangshu."
The old man felt relieved, but thinking of Xiao Jia's evil nature, he felt a little uncertain about this matter.
Jia Pingan returned to the Ministry of War, and the first thing he did was to order to find shipbuilders.
"It's all under the management of the Ministry of Industry!" Chen Jinfa felt that his boss most likely wanted to build a boat so that he could take his family on a trip to the mountains and rivers.
"Damn!"
Jia Ping'an went to find Li Ji.
"British Duke!"
Li Ji raised his head with a more benevolent eyebrow, "Xiao Jia!"
Going to the Ministry of Industry to ask for craftsmen is probably unreliable. Jia Pingan came to save the country with a curve, "British Lord, I want to get a boat here, and I need a few craftsmen..."
"Shipbuilding?"
Li Ji was puzzled, "Why do you build ships?"
"It's not shipbuilding, it's just... I argued with Huang Wan from the Ministry of Industry and wanted to build a model, which is a very small wooden boat..."
Jia Pingan pulled his hands apart, "It's just that big."
"Little things."
Li Ji made a move, and the Ministry of Industry had to bow its head.
Jia Pingan took the two craftsmen home, Huang Wan shook her head and sighed in the Ministry of Industry, with a confident expression on her face.
At the same time, Yang Deli was writing memorials in the value room, occasionally raising his head, with a resolute and impassioned expression on his face.
