    What was waiting for him was still Ye Chang's rejection. At this moment, someone suddenly came rushing towards him. When he saw Ye Chang from a distance, he bowed down and said, "Mr. Ye Lang, I was ordered to deliver the news that Li Yong has died in prison."  As soon as the news came out, Li Bai's expression froze, while Du Fu's eyes turned cold. He sighed and said: "That's the case" After saying that, he pulled out his sword and waved it on his sleeve, making a piece of his sleeve flutter.  fall.  Then Du Fu turned around and left, lamenting in his mouth: "In the roaring universe, great talents are replaced day by day. The ancients are invisible, who will succeed the predecessors. Recalling the past of Li Gongcun, the poetry forest has roots. The brilliance of the voice should be strong, and the pen will be scattered in the rich Qing Dynasty.  "Zhi" "Shizilang, I will go after Zimei and try my best to help you persuade." Li Bai has no choice but to be helpless at this time. Even though he is smart and smart, both parties are friends, so they cannot favor one over the other.  Moreover, Ye Chang was only happy about Li Yong's death, but Du Fu was heartbroken. After all, among today's celebrities, Li Yong was the only one who truly treated Du Fu with kindness.  " It was a scholar who died for his confidant. Du Fu didn't scold Ye Chang. He just broke off the relationship with his sleeves. He was already well-educated. " Ye Chang nodded, feeling quite sad in his heart.  In this life, I have already had a bad relationship with Wang Wei. It would be really regrettable if I were to have a bad relationship with Du Fu again.  Looking back and looking at those subordinates, Ye Chang took a long breath, and then said loudly: "Get everything packed, we will leave tomorrow for Dengzhou." Dengzhou has been a good port since ancient times, and it is the time when the plums are yellow and the weather is sunny.  The weather is beautiful, the sea breeze is blowing, and the sky is clear, which makes people open-minded and makes some depression dissipate.  He only stayed in Dengzhou for three days. After replenishing supplies, Ye Chang ordered the voyage.  Su Tongji couldn¡¯t wait for Ye Chang¡¯s order.  "This boat is not difficult to maneuver. I have been practicing for a month. Although I still dare not go to full speed, I can go to sea long ago. Good watercrafts are all made in wind and waves, but they are not like this in calm water.  It can be done," Ye Chang said when he asked for his opinion.  Because of the ocean currents, Ye Chang's fleet did not go outside the mouth of the Bohai Sea, but chose the waterway within the Bohai Sea, which was west of the Miaodao Islands in later generations.  The current around the Bohai Sea rotates counterclockwise, and here it is supported by the terrain and begins to turn north.  With the help of the monsoon from the southeast, their ship speed can be faster.  "It would be nice if there was an accurate timer Zhang Xiu has been studying it for two years, but he still can't completely solve this problem." Ye Chang was a little regretful.  On the boat, someone threw the rope tied to the driftwood into the sea. There were stones under the driftwood to anchor it. He also held an hourglass in his hand. He judged the time based on the sand leakage in the hourglass, and then based on the distance between the driftwood and the boat.  to judge the speed.  After going back and forth for a while, someone shouted: "Lang Jun, fourteen miles per hour. Fourteen miles per hour is about three and a half kilometers per hour. This speed is actually very slow, but now there is no sail, it is almost completely  Relying on the propulsion of the ocean current, Ye Chang was very satisfied with this speed. He came out of the cabin with a wooden box in his hand, and Su Chouji followed him. "Lang Jun, you can really use this to locate yourself in the sea.  ?  "Su thick legs followed Ye Chang closely, with an expression like a dog that only wants to please its master: "Mr. Lang, what is the truth behind this?  " "You use the sun to locate your position during the day and the stars at night. Don't you always brag that you are as good as being in the courtyard when you are in the sea? Why are you so interested in this compass?  "Ye Chang said with a smile. "The compass is used to determine the direction of sea ships, which is still a pioneering work at this time. Su Toutiao looked at the small device in Ye Chang's hand in awe, feeling that only the gods in the sky could come up with such a method.  In order to create a compass suitable for navigation, Ye Chang racked his brains. Whether it is the floating method or the suspended needle method, it is not accurate enough when the ship is driven by wind and waves. To solve this problem, Ye Chang also asked for help.  The most outstanding jeweler. This is the exquisite wooden box in his hand. "You can see clearly that the north pointed by the needle is still somewhat deviated from the true north. It is actually east.  "Ye Chang showed the compass in his hand to Su Coutui: "Although it is only a little to the east, on the vast sea, a slight deviation can be thousands of miles away from the target.  " "Lang Jun is right." "Fortunately, now we only ask you to take the plumbers to familiarize themselves with these tools, mainly our own plumbers.  "Ye Chang whispered: "They learned surveying and drawing from me at home. You must remember to keep the charts they drew. You must keep three copies of each chart and keep one copy on the ship.  , the captain kept one copy in his hand and gave the other to me.  " Su Toutou understood that this was an explanation of future matters. Ye Chang trusted him very much. After seeing his sailing ability at sea, he was ready to hand over the entire ship to him. Naturally, for the purpose of checks and balances, he also  One or two other people will be sent to share the rights of Su Chuangshan, but that will happen after the force grows stronger. The two of them said as they climbed up, along the rope ladder formed by the cable.Then he climbed up to the lookout on the ship's foremast.  "Now, it's time for this treasure of mine to appear" Ye Chang said to himself, put away the compass, and then raised another thing.  Monocular telescope.  Ever since he bought the crystal ball in Chang'an City, Ye Chang has not forgotten another great use that the crystal can be put to.  Before he made glass, crystal was the best material for grinding telescopes. Even after the glass was made, crystal would probably not be better than pure and transparent glass for a long time.  Raising the telescope and looking to the southeast, there is a clear land there, which should be Daxie Island.  In fact, without a telescope, when the weather is good, you can also see the outline of Daxie Island, but it is difficult to see it any further away.  Ye Chang angled the telescope slightly north and vaguely saw a gray shadow, which was Turtle Island further north than Daxie Island.  "Did you really see Turtle Island?" Hearing Ye Chang's words, Su Toutou was a little disbelieving: "That's not Daxie Island, it's a hundred miles away." He has been busy these days, asking for information from the plumbers he hired.  The situation of the Bohai Sea Channel is also very familiar with the sea route from Dengzhou to Liaodong.  At this time, the navigation industry was still extremely backward. From Dengzhou to Liaodong, the shortest distance in later generations was only more than 100 kilometers, which could be traveled by ship in half a day. For hydraulic workers, it required great risks.  Because being familiar with waterways has become the first priority for hydraulic workers, and it is related to everyone's lives.  "You can see for yourself what I'm trying to trick you into," Ye Chang said with a smile.  Of course, this place is not a hundred miles away from Turtle Island. Ye Chang estimates that it is only dozens of miles away at most.  Su thick legs took the monocular telescope and looked to the northeast like Ye Chang did. Then his hands trembled and the telescope almost dropped. "Be careful, this thing cost me hundreds of dollars -  Money is a trivial matter. If you break it, there will be no second one." Before he could say anything else, Su Toutiao consciously held the telescope with both hands, first looking to the northeast, then to the southeast, and finally to the south: "The sky  Ah, my God, my God, this must be the magic weapon of the immortals, I can even see Dengzhou How is this possible, my God?¡± The compass just now made Su Chouji so shocked that he couldn¡¯t open his mouth from ear to ear, and he was shaking his head.  Behind Ye Chang, now that he looked at the telescope, he was even more shocked.  After turning around six or seven times, he put down the telescope and looked at Ye Chang, almost drooling.  He was born at sea, so he knew how useful such a device that could improve a person's vision several times or even ten times would be for navigation.  "Eleventh LangYe Langjun" "This is a gift for you." Ye Chang said calmly.  Su Tongqi was ecstatic, and immediately knelt down on the watchtower and bowed again: "Langjun Lord, Su has submitted. I am willing to be a servant and will never change my mind." Ye Chang spent a lot of time to marry this guy.  But none of them took refuge. He was only willing to work for Ye Chang because Ye Chang showed respect for him in Luoyang last time.  But now, a telescope convinced him that he was even willing to serve as Ye Chang's servant.  "Get up Is this telescope really so important to you?" "For the sailors on the ship, the telescope, compass, and this sturdy ship save countless lives." Su Kuji stood up and said:  "My lord has such treasures from the Immortal Family, no wonder he dares to seek overseas immortal mountains." He was indeed shocked. When he first learned that Ye Chang was going to seek overseas immortal mountains, he only thought it was a young man's whimsy. But with these three  "Hehe, if you do it well, there will be more good things."  "Ye Chang said with a smile: "A bigger and stronger ship, a telescope that can run faster, a telescope that can see farther, and an instrument that can accurately determine our position these will all be available.  " Su thick legs believed whatever he said at this time, so he nodded vigorously. "My lord, these rare treasures uh" Su thick legs were about to speak when they saw the small wooden box that Ye Chang was carrying.  He took out another monocular telescope and was stunned. "He thought there was only one such treasure, but he never thought that Ye Chang would just take out another one. "In fact, the lenses of telescopes are difficult to polish. As long as there are lenses.  , it is not difficult to make. It has been almost two years since Ye Chang prepared for the city competition the year before last. Naturally, he has more than one pair of lenses ready to make, just for temporary technical protection.  For the purpose, he only took out two. ¡°There are still more?  "    "how?  " "There is a second pair of such treasures?  " "Ah, that's natural. Didn't I tell you that if you do it, there will be something better in the future.  "Su Chuchu felt that his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't turn around for a while. After a while, he calmed down, looked down carefully, and then lowered his voice and said: "Lord, this kind of treasure needs to be treasured.  , don¡¯t show it easily?¡­The people we recruited in Laizhou may not all be loyal. If they steal our treasures¡­¡± ¡°You are too careful about this. On the ship and in the vast sea, they stole the treasures. Can they escape?  ?  "Ye Chang smiled: "On the contrary, I want to show them this treasure and let them work for us wholeheartedly." "But" "Su thick legs, if someone really has evil intentions, it will be exposed earlier than later."  Be good.  "Ye Chang said meaningfully. They were muttering on the watchtower, and Wu Dahe, who was cleaning the deck below, whispered: "Brother, this boat is really good. Not only is it strong, it is more stable than our previous boats." "And  The boat is fast, you can see it is so fast even without the sails." Wu Dajiang also said: "Brother, if we get this boat" "Hush, be quiet" Wu Dahai glared at them, both Wu Dajiang and Wu Dahe  He kept silent. A little far behind them, Bian Ping, who was cleaning the cables, moved his ears and continued to clean his own cables. Ye Chang had very strict requirements on the maintenance of the ship. These watermen had nothing to do, so they had to clean it.  The deck of the ship had to be washed three to five times a day, which gave them no time to gamble or chat. Wu Dahai glanced at Bian Ping, and when he saw nothing unusual, he whispered: "Be careful.  "Come on, don't talk nonsense, we have to be careful." "A group of river turtles will be of little use in the sea. Brother, you are too careful."  " "If I hadn't been careful, we would have been finished long ago.  "Wu Dahai glared at Wu Dajiao who interrupted. He was about to teach his brother a few words when he heard someone shouting from above: "Wu Dahai, Wu Dahai, come up." Wu Dahai's heart skipped a beat.  Looking up, he saw that Ye Chang had already come down from the watchtower. It was Su Chuji, who was appointed as the captain, calling him. "Come on, come on." Ye Chang smiled and watched the forty-year-old sailor walking in front of him intelligently.  He ran over and climbed up to the watchtower along the cable. Because of the sea breeze, he couldn't hear what Su Rouzu was saying to him. He only saw Su Rouzu handing the telescope to Wu Dahai. Then Wu Dahai acted like Su Kuzu.  His legs were just normal, but his hands were weak, and the telescope almost fell down. "Damn it, you guys, be careful, this is a fairy treasure that is hard to buy for a lot of money. If it breaks, it will cost you five lives of your brothers."  Don't come" "I could vaguely hear Su Chuuchi yelling and scolding, and Ye Chang smiled hoarsely. It was obvious that he had just been taught a lesson by himself, so he taught the kidnapper again. However, according to Su Chuji, among the plumbers recruited this time  , the Wu brothers are lucky, not only good at sailing, but also willing to work hard, so they are very popular with Su Chuji. Of course, Su Chuji also said that these five Wu brothers must not be ordinary fishermen and waterworkers.  Ye Chang also did some things that violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty at sea. At this time, all the people at sea were either pirates or merchants. If they saw other people in the vast sea.  On the sea, there are no rules yet. What Ye Chang has to do is to determine the rules of the sea starting from the Bohai Sea. "Wu Dajiang, it's your turn."  "Su Toutou's loud voice sounded again. Wu Dajiang looked up and saw his brother descending down the cable in despair. He couldn't help but be surprised. Captain Su just showed his brother something, why did his brother change?  Is it like this? Could it be that the thing in Captain Su¡¯s hand can capture people¡¯s souls?
