Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-One: Yan and Fierce, Noble and Graceful!
Here, Lu Bu apologized for guilt and gained a good reputation.
Gan Ning and a group of pirate brothers gained prestige!
The Long Xiao Camp finally found a way to improve the water battle...
Everything is so reasonable and orderly.
The process of deep-sea whaling has also started. At first... in the five to eight days of going to sea, I could only catch one whale, and at the back, it turned into two, three, and four!
just like…
The combat effectiveness of the Long Xiaoying Navy continues to increase, and the cooperation is getting closer...
After catching the ninth whale, they suddenly discovered that this so-called overlord in the sea seemed not as strong as they imagined, and was simply about to collapse!
Maybe it's...
They have become stronger!
If we include the new ships continuously transported by the East China Sea dock, the process of actual whaling at sea will be more frequent and smooth!
For a time, the East China Sea Port became a funeral for whales!
At the same time...
With Lu Yu's letter coming.
Huang Xu specially opened many new workshops, including castration, whale flesh, fish bones, whale earwax and "baba", and the most important thing is the oil mill!
The entire Donghai County...
There were hundreds of oil mills overnight.
You must know...
It is true that whales are full of treasures, but it is undeniable that whales’ meat is not delicious, and it is far inferior to big yellow croaker.
After grilling whales with fire, they can deform. The cooling shape is like plastic, and can be made of brass, umbrella bones, fishing rods and other supplies!
But these economic benefits are still too few.
What whales can generate the most economic value is oil refining...
The so-called refining of oil is simply too simple, it is a hundred times easier than the oil mill in Xudu City before. You only need to prepare a large pot, then divide the blubber and boil it into oil.
In ancient candle fire, whale oil was extremely resistant to burning!
What's even more terrifying is that the largest blue whale can reach 200 tons, and one pig is only 100 kilograms on average, and ten pigs are only 1000 tons. A blue whale is equivalent to two thousand pigs. Of course... not every whale
It is a blue whale, but even the most ordinary whale, 50 tons, is worth five hundred pigs!
and…
There is no need to worry about fishing out of the water.
Because considering the ocean-going capabilities, capture capabilities, refrigeration capabilities, etc. of ships in this era... they are far from reaching the point where they can endanger whales.
Improper?
Not immoral at all!
The resources of the great Han Dynasty during the Little Ice Age...especially the food resources are scarce!
Survival of the fittest!
In the entire Donghai County, the deep processing of whales has begun.
Even though Huang Xu made countless predictions in advance, he still ignored one point. There was not enough barreled whale oil, and the amount was too large... Originally, the Dragon Xiaoying Navy brought one and two in three or five days, and it was barely enough.
Can maintain.
But as whales catch more and more...
Buckets are really not enough!
Huang Xu had no choice but to send the oil mill's long-term workers to borrow buckets everywhere!
People in Donghai County are not stupid either.
——No borrowing, only selling!
For a time, the price of the barrel soared more than ten times.
This is not the most important thing...
The most important thing is that a large number of merchants flocked into Donghai County. Originally, merchants gathered here, all of whom came for the fine salt and yellow croaker.
Now... there are many people coming for whale oil!
The inns were almost full with the entire Donghai County of Xuzhou!
call…
Huang Xu naturally witnessed this scene.
But he didn't care about anything else, so he quickly sent someone to take a few spoonfuls of oil and light a candle. The wick ignites and emitted a bright light, and the whole dark room was illuminated!
Moreover, after a long time of placing it, there was almost no sign of loss in whale oil.
"Sure enough... Master Lu is right."
Huang Xu whispered.
Then he ordered, "Immediately send this whale oil to Luoyang City...the workshop!"
Looking at the buckets of solidified whale oil piled up in the courtyard, Huang Xu repeatedly ordered...
Compared to here.
Luoyang City... Brother Zhuge needs these more, right?
…
…
Luoyang City.
The school office not far from the Baima Hou Mansion was as guarded as before, and the capable Long Xiaoying soldiers guarded the entire school office.
If you don’t have a propaganda, you can’t even have a bird.
Echoing the guards standing outside the door...
At this moment, in the lobby of the school office, Lu Yu and Guo Jia looked stern and the atmosphere was tense.
Guo Jia, who always smiled casually in the past, couldn't help but calm down at this moment, and his expression was sharp and solemn.
"This piece of information sent by the Military Command is extremely important. Ziyu, you must make a decision quickly!"
Hearing...
A little sad look appeared on Lu Yu's cheeks on the main position.
It seems that he has some concerns.
The content of concern is naturally the letter from Yang Xiu!
——The teacher personally opened it and presented it with nothing!
The content is that Zhuge Liang has instructed Zhao Yun to contact Mrs. Cai.
This is a dangerous signal. Now Mrs. Cai is a "bad breeder". Her mood is both nervous and sensitive. Perhaps... due to the reputation of the Cai clan, she may succumb to Zhuge Liang!
Lu Yu dare not gamble...
You can't bet!
Seeing that Lu Yu did not speak, Guo Jia continued: "Then Zhuge Kongming wants to force Mrs. Cai to submit. He can, and we can do it too! Ziyu, don't hesitate and make a decision quickly!"
Repeated urging...
It seems that in Guo Jia's opinion, this matter has reached a point where it cannot be reported.
Even if Zhuge Kongming instructed it was Zhao Yun.
But...every day, Zhao Yun took the risk of exposure.
It is no exaggeration to say that putting Zhulong in Jingzhou... This is a crucial move. You cannot and dare not have any problems!
"I know everything about Fengxiao said."
Finally, Lu Yu spoke...
"The showdown is very simple. You only need a piece of letter and a 'sweet rib' to complete this task. But... the key issue is not the showdown, but after the showdown!"
"After the showdown?" Guo Jia asked back...
"That's right." Lu Yu's tone became a little serious. "Fengxiao understands women and is more lewd. Just imagine, if Fengxiao is Mrs. Cai, when you encounter such a problem, you will hear 'nothing'
What would you think after the proposal, or 'threat'?
"I will..." Guo Jia opened his mouth, but when the words came to his mouth, his throat was even more swallowed.
He is a very smart person...
Lu Yu has reminded him that this is the case, how can he not understand it yet?
"Ziyu, you are worried. Mrs. Cai doesn't believe in 'sincere' words and insists on meeting the King of Wei..."
"That's right!" Lu Yu nodded. "If it were you, if you were such a big deal, you wouldn't see the King of Wei? How could you cooperate with us? What's more, this matter is related to the pursuit of Jingzhou without any bloodshed!"
call…
Guo Jia let out a light sigh, the question had been raised, and Mrs. Cai wanted to meet Prime Minister Cao.
How do you see this?
This is no longer as simple as being separated by a Jingjiang... Is there a Xinye of Liu Bei in the middle?
Unless...fly over?
Just as he thought of this, Guo Jia suddenly thought of something.
"Ziyu? That hot air balloon..."
Oh…
Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly. "Now, I can only rely on the hot air balloons of Uncle Liu and my Zhuge disciple. The difficulty now is not just flying, but flying over Xinye, flying over Jingjiang, and flying to Xiangyang.
City…This is not easy!”
Well…
Guo Jia felt his throat choked. In his opinion, it was outrageous enough for the hot air balloon to fly, let alone...flying over Xinye City and Jingjiang, even if...the hot air balloon dares to fly, but... Mrs. Cai dares to sit
Is it?
hehe…
Guo Jia just "hehe"!
"Go away..."
Just then, Lu Yu greeted him.
"Where to go?" Guo Jia was stunned.
"Go to the Long Xiao Camp's headquarters, now the whale skin has been sent and the whale oil has been refined. Let's see how hot air balloon has reached!"
…
…
A camp not far from Long Xiaoying Military Village.
Countless craftsmen are cheering up the balloons that have changed the skin to whale skin. This is the first "whale skin" transported from Donghai County, Xuzhou half a month ago. It has now become the balloon of a hot air balloon.
After almost getting angry, I opened the valve of the turmeric oil tank.
Suddenly, a raging fire burned.
When Lu Yu and Guo Jia arrived, they saw this scene. The hot heat filled the balloon even more. Someone had nailed a wooden stake on the ground and tied a rope to the wooden stake!
The hot air balloons have begun to float slowly.
Lu Yu and Guo Jia looked at the hot air balloon in front of them in shock. Because of the pulling of the rope, the balloon hovered steadily half a foot above the ground.
"Can you fly?"
Lu Yu was a little surprised...
Things have been complicated during this period, so I pay attention to Zhuge Jun. Liu Ye is rarely here, of course... In his opinion, there is no need to pay attention to it. If it succeeds, Zhuge Jun will definitely send someone to tell him!
Zhuge Jun has always been a very obedient child!
It seemed that he had heard the sound, Zhuge Jun and Cao Mu turned around at the same time and were seeing Lu Yu and Guo Jia.
"master!"
"Lu Ziyu!"
A completely different title...
Lu Yu didn't care about the greetings and asked again: "Can you fly?"
Zhuge Jun nodded, his tone with a lot of excitement and excitement. "The whale skin is made into an airbag, which has better locking temperature, and the whale oil burning effect is excellent. Nowadays, the hot air balloon is already in the conditions for flying.
!”
"But it's still a bit cumbersome to operate... Therefore, the disciple did not report to his mentor!"
call…
Hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes were shining.
Success is a bit unexpected!
You should know... the invention of hot air balloons in later generations was in 1783, and was made by the French papermakers - the Montgolfe brothers!
However, the hot air balloons they made could only fly to the roof!
After a whole year of improvement, the following year... King Louis XVI of France and the Academy of France invited them to perform at the Palace of Versailles. They hung a cage under the balloons, which contained chickens, ducks and sheep!
The hot air balloon flew to a height of 450 meters, floated in the air for eight minutes, and landed in the forest three thousand meters away.
You must know...
That is the scientific achievement of later generations!
In ancient times, even if there were drawings, it was still very difficult to fly.
but…
What Zhuge Jun said meant is that the hot air balloon already has the conditions to fly?
hiss…
Lu Yu breathed lightly. "Has anyone ever operated Feitian in this hot air balloon?"
Blind these words...
Zhuge Jun and Cao Mu looked at the sky in line with their eyes.
Lu Yu also looked up with their eyes, but saw a hot air balloon floating in the air... In the sky under dusk, this hot air balloon is very secret!
Besides, who would look into the sky with a normal person so idle that he looked in pain?
And... when the hot air balloon can fly in the sky, when this scene really happened, it still shocked Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao beside Lu Yu.
"Is it true or false?"
Guo Jia quickly rubbed his eyes... He felt a little dizzy, as if he hadn't woken up!
Lu Yu’s question is quite reliable: “How did you fly up?”
He thought, how could he get up without anyone operating it?
I never thought that I blurted out these words.
Cao Mu replied directly: "How did you fly up? Of course someone was operating it?"
"Lu Ziyu? Haven't you seen Uncle Liu disappear?"
Hmm...
really!
Lu Yu looked around and did not find Liu Ye's figure? Could it be...
He suddenly looked up and asked in surprise: "He is in the sky?"
"It's not just in the sky..." Cao Mu explained immediately. "Uncle Liu has flew from Luoyang to Hulao Pass, and then flew back and for Luoyang from Hulao Pass, and has already flew back and forth!"
Hey…
Blind these words.
A sentence immediately appeared in Lu Yu's heart - Liu Ye, this is really a genius!
When his eyes were withdrawn, Lu Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other, the two smiled slightly.
"hehe…"
"hehe…"
——Now, with "Uncle Liu", "Mrs. Cai" is also stable, right?
…
…
Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.
Yang Xiu came to a wing room in the tavern. Zhao Yun stole it and couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Commander Lu has a letter!"
Yang Xiu exhaled lightly, his eyes lowered, and he was slow to speak.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but urged: "Speak up, Zhuge Kongming sent someone to urge him today. If he gets off again... I'm worried!"
"Ha ha!"
At this moment, Yang Xiu laughed out loud.
He wrote the word "年" in Zhao Yun's hand with a pen, and wrote the word "年" in his palm, which made him understand the meaning very well.
It's a showdown...
Then... there will always be someone who comes first and then comes!
Just this one comes first and then comes, Yang Xiu and Zhao Yun... or the Chicken and Zhulong can completely decide on their own!
…
…
The sun was shining on the nine ridges, and in the towering Xiangyang official office with a heavy eaves, Mrs. Cai, with a sad face, opened a letter from someone who sent it.
Originally, she was so upset that she would never have opened up this inexplicable letter.
But... this time, she had to take it apart because there was a line of small words written on the back of the letter - if you don't know, don't do it unless you do it yourself!
this…
And when the letter was unfolded, it didn't matter if you didn't look at it, but after looking at it... Mrs. Cai felt that her belly was about to surging violently.
This...this...
She frowned and fell into confusion.
In the letter, there is a place where the two met. It was a pavilion on the bank of the Jing River outside Jingzhou City, but it was night?
She...can he choose not to go?
"Come..."
Mrs. Cai murmured...
"Madam." The confidant maid walked into the cabinet.
Huh... After a gentle exhale, Mrs. Cai frowned, and her long sleeves shook slightly. "Prepare the car and leave the city!"
ah…
The maid was stunned. "Madam, it's so late!"
——"I'll ask you to prepare a car and leave the city!"
Suddenly, a cold voice came out...
Just like, Mrs. Cai is not only irritable at this moment, but also angry... so angry that she is almost dying of fetal anger!
…
…
The sun has already set in the west, and the sun is bright.
Yang Xiu stood in a pavilion beside Jinghe and was waiting. He was sure that the woman would come!
He was even more sure that that woman would not act rashly!
Because he stated in the letter that behind him was Long Xiaoying and Lu Ziyu... Just because of this, Mrs. Cai dare not be detrimental to him.
finally…
After an hour of waiting, Yang Xiu's eyes lit up.
An extremely low-key carriage was parked a hundred meters outside the pavilion, followed by a lady wearing a straw hat and slowly coming.
She can hold her back...
Come alone to the appointment.
Yang Xiu came forward.
When I saw the visitor, I bowed my hand slightly.
But I saw someone picking off the hat...
Yang Xiu's eyes swept over the beautiful body that could still be called a perfect body even if he was pregnant, and finally stayed on that beautiful face.
My heart couldn't help but trembled violently.
Seeing this woman at such a close distance still looks like she was without makeup, Yang Xiu only felt two words: "神" and "神"!
But under that charming look, there was a touch of nobility and grace like a queen!
"Ahem..."
With a light cough, Yang Xiu spoke first. "Mrs. Cai, long time no see!"
On the other hand, Mrs. Cai was obviously trembling all over, and then exclaimed.
"Yes... it's you!"
That's right, what I saw...isn't it just that I met her in the past and saved her handsome young man?
