In fact, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, China's shipbuilding industry led the world.
This kind of leadership is a pure and pure leadership, not the kind of bragging B-style leadership that is far ahead in global sales, global quality, and global standards in later generations.
Especially during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the ships built by our ancestors made Chinese ships known as the king of the sea. This was not said by our own people, but by other countries.
Its advanced technology, huge shape, and scientific structure are far beyond the comparison of sea-going ships built by foreign savages. It only has three technologies: the watertight cabin that resists wind and waves, the technology of dowel joints and putty caulking, and the placement of wave boards on the side of the ship.
, so that countries at the same time could not even see the taillights of their cars.
You must know that the wood used in foreign ships at that time was still coconut skins used as ropes, and olive sugar was added to plug the gaps. Not only were the hulls small, but their resistance to wind and waves was also poor.
Let’s take the simplest example. To pay customs duties on the Indian Peninsula, ships from the Tang Dynasty paid one thousand dirhams, which is one thousand silver coins, while ships from other countries basically paid one to ten.
Dinar, this is a gold coin. In conversion, one dinar is equal to twenty-two dirhans.
So why did the Tang Dynasty deliver so many ships? It was because they were charged based on the cargo capacity, that is, based on the hull.
From this data, it can be seen that the customs duties paid by Tang Dynasty ships were many times higher than those of ships from other countries. This means that the overall size of Chinese ships at that time was at least two to five times larger than other ships.
So, Confucianism... no, Confucianism can be quite bad sometimes. If the ancestors were a little more warlike, the eighty-year-old old lady would run around here and there. She wouldn't even be qualified to be born.
In any case, ancient shipbuilding technology was quite advanced, and the skilled craftsmen in the field of shipbuilding in the Chang Dynasty were all gathered in the Three East China Sea Roads. The most powerful shipbuilders in the Three East China Sea Roads were naturally the Tao family.
The boat "gifted" by Tao Qi has three floors, eleven feet high, and floating boards on the left and right sides, which can take advantage of the wind to the greatest extent and ensure that the boat will not roll over.
Chu Qing stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, trembling with excitement.
He doesn't understand boats, he just looks at their appearance.
In his words, it is like a large ship with two floors and sails surrounding the outside of the building. Archers can shoot arrows at medium and short distances from the sails.
Seven hundred people, at least it can accommodate at least seven hundred people.
The whole body is yellow. Under the sunlight, this giant sea ship seems to have gradually folded its sails and slowly docked in the deep sea area.
With just one glance, Chu Qing had already thought of a name.
The Son of Vengeance!
The last ship, the Revenge Dudu, sank without even getting hot. You can live without Dudu, but revenge must be passed down, so this ship is called the Son of Vengeance!
People cheered, although the ship could not carry everyone, after all, having a ship was a good start.
"Master Chu, are you still satisfied?"
Tao Qi appeared behind Chu Qing at some point, elegant, quiet, and graceful, but Tao Weiran, who was hanging his head and with a bruised nose and face, was a bit out of place.
"Um..." Chu Qing originally wanted to say that he was satisfied, quite satisfied, but then he thought about it, saying that would make people look down on him, as if he had never seen the world.
"I just saw the appearance. Let's take a look once we get on the boat. Don't look like a fake."
Tao Qi was quite surprised: "Sir, do you still understand ships?"
"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."
"I understand too." Xiao Yi straightened his chest: "No one understands better than me."
Tao Qi must have figured out what kind of person Xiao Yi was, and she didn't even care about him.
Chu Qing smiled and said: "Anyway, thank you Miss Tao. When the boat stops, I will get on the boat and take a look."
In fact, this is a bit unflattering, as someone gave it to you for free, and it feels like it means you are asking for food and it is too bad.
However, according to Chu Qing's current status, it is mainly due to his historical style. Even if he takes advantage, he has to be picky. After all, he is now taking a cold-blooded route, and wealth lower than Sanguan can no longer impress him.
Xiao Yi, who was standing next to him, looked a little depressed when he saw Tao Qi not paying any attention to him.
After the Tao family had just been settled, Xiao Yi went to talk to him. It was okay at first, but out of politeness, Tao Qi talked to him twice. However, it turned out that Xiao Yi was too annoyed, so Sister Tao ignored him completely.
"The surname is Xiao." Fu San cursed in a low voice: "Don't embarrass the young master again, you act like you have never seen a woman before."
"You know nothing about a woman."
When Xiao Yi said this, the friends next to him were all happy.
If Fu San doesn't understand women, then no one in this world understands women.
Seeing everyone laughing, Xiao Yi remembered the strong performance of his third brother. He quickly lowered his voice and said with a flattering look on his face: "Third brother, third brother, it was my younger brother who said the wrong thing. It's good to teach him a few tricks. Why did Tao say that?"
Is the eldest daughter of the family ignoring my younger brother?"
Fu San was too lazy to talk to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was really surprised and murmured: "This general is at the border, and he is also called a fierce general. When it comes to me, Captain Fengche, he is said to be a fierce man with three heads and six arms in the battle formation.
How come she doesn't like me?"
"You don't have three heads and six arms." Fu San sneered: "You just have one head and two arms. Women don't look at you for being brave in battle."
"Then what are you looking at?"
It would take some time for the big ship to dock safely, so Fu San was idle and joked: "Just do what he likes."
"How to do what he likes?"
Fu San glanced at Tao Qi, who was standing next to Chu Qing ten steps away, looked him up and down, and rarely became serious.
When everyone saw that Fu San was going to teach on the spot, regardless of whether he was single or had been single for many years, they all gathered around and wanted to learn every move, except of course Changxian.
Changxian looked at everyone gathered around and sighed with great sadness, looking at himself in pity.
Alas, from the moment I was born, I was destined to lose the right to pursue women. It's pitiful, extremely pitiful, it's all a fucking backlash!
Fu San, who was surrounded in the middle, took a few glances and said to Xiao Yi: "Tao Qi is wearing a red dress, which is very eye-catching. When Fatty Tao was poisoned and beaten at sea, the corners of her skirt were obviously cut off, but now she is wearing a different dress."
New, that is to say, she brought more than one piece of clothing with her when traveling, at least two of these red dresses. It can be seen that she must like this bright red color very much, and the person who came to see me today is my family.
Young Master, according to his status, she should not wear such a bright skirt. She wants to leave a very deep impression on the young master..."
After a pause, the third brother continued his analysis: "Then it can be seen that this Tao Qi loves the color red, has a fiery temperament, and likes red dresses the most."
After the analysis, the third brother looked at Xiao Yi: "I understand."
Xiao Yi looked like he suddenly understood and nodded: "I don't understand."
Third brother: “…”
Tao Shaozhang understood, and said in a dumbfounded voice: "I asked you to praise her and her dress, you idiot."
Xiao Yi suddenly realized, this time he really understood, and ran over in a hurry.
Everyone pricked up their ears. Even though they knew what the third brother was doing, they still wanted to see and hear it with their own eyes.
After Xiao Yi ran over, he was quite strategic, and he actually learned it by himself without a teacher.
"Miss Tao, I have something to say to you."
"Oh." Tao Qi didn't look sideways and didn't even look at it, but she still said "oh".
"This dress of yours is so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful."
"oh."
"It's beautiful, beautiful, and incomparably beautiful."
"oh."
"This dress..."
"oh."
Xiao Yi cursed in his heart, turned around and ran away, came to Fu San, and shouted angrily: "Fu Laosan, it's hard to live up to your reputation. What you just said is useless."
Fu San looked at Xiao Yi as if he were an idiot. He wanted to explain again, but then he thought about it. With A Yi's ability to understand, explanations were useless.
After thinking about it for a while, the third brother was ready to kill himself.
"idiot."
After scolding, Fu San walked over quickly and came to Tao Qi's side.
Tao Qi looked helpless: "Is there something wrong with this gentleman?"
"Originally nothing happened." Fu San didn't even smile, and he was very serious.
"Then are you looking for a civilian girl?"
"Your dress is so eye-catching that I always look over at it involuntarily."
Tao Qi smiled slightly: "Oh, this dress is beautiful?"
"No, just ordinary clothes."
"Then the adults said it was eye-catching. I thought the adults said this dress was beautiful."
The third brother said calmly: "There is no most beautiful dress in this world. It's just that some women have given this dress the most beautiful crime."
Tao Qi was stunned for a moment, and then she started to giggle. The laughter got louder and louder, and then got out of control, with a hint of leaning forward and back.
With a "plop", Xiao Yi knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists in salute, and roared loudly.
