There is a gentle breeze at the seaside in the early morning.
The sea and sky gradually turned golden.
Like a scroll slowly unfolding, it is breathtakingly beautiful.
The sea sparkled, and the air was filled with the salty taste of the sea. In the distance, a golden dawn appeared, slowly rising and shining over everything.
“It’s so beautiful here…”
Shen Qinghe snuggled in Ning Que's arms.
Looking at this scene, I feel so much emotion.
Such a beautiful scenery cannot be seen in Chang'an City.
It can only be seen at the seaside.
"Yes, Dafeng is so beautiful."
“The scenery in many places is very unique.”
"Think of the Shuofang grasslands and the cloudscape of Mount Tai..."
"Um."
"Hey, hey, hey, we're here to enjoy the scenery, not to eat dog food." Haizai couldn't help but yawn and said, "At least consider our feelings!"
"Senior Brother Hai is joking."
"I heard that you have more than ten wives and concubines."
"By the way, have my sister-in-law and the others arrived in Linzi?"
"Haha, they're all on the way."
Hae Jae immediately smiled.
He has always had a free and easy personality.
She is good-looking and has a high status.
It is quite popular among women in the south.
After he got married, he took in a dozen concubines.
Another thing is that the Kingdom of Nanyue is very short of men.
There is a huge disparity in the number of men and women.
Because of years of war, many young and strong people were killed or injured.
The King of Nanyue strongly supported men taking concubines.
The more you marry and the more children you have, the better.
The Kingdom of Nanyue even had laws to support it.
If there are more than five children, there is no tax.
"We had a good harvest last night."
"Look at this big eel. It will be delicious when braised."
"And these blue crabs are delicious even steamed."
"Let's have seafood and wine for lunch and have another drink!"
"good."
Gongshu Chou's eyes lit up when he heard about drinking. He had been so drunk last night that it was the first time in his life that he had ever tasted such a strong liquor.
"You guys go back and rest first."
"I just happened to be going to the saltworks to have a look."
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Yeah." Ning Que waved his hand nonchalantly. "My senior brothers should all know me. I've been full of energy since I was a kid. Staying up all night is nothing."
"Haha, that's fine."
Haigui smiled and nodded.
He remembered Ning Que's deeds vividly.
When I was in Kunlun Mountains, I often had my days and nights reversed.
There would often be knocks on their door at night.
"I'll go with you."
"Go back and have a good rest." Ning Que patted Shen Qinghe's hand and said with a smile, "You haven't slept all night, you must be exhausted."
"All right then..."
Shen Qinghe yawned.
She is indeed very sleepy now.
After all, she usually goes to bed early and gets up early.
I have never had the habit of staying up late.
"I'll go to the salt fields with my junior brother."
"I heard you improved the quality of the saltworks."
"I want to see it, too."
Gongshu Chou walked up slowly.
Although he was very sleepy, he was also very curious.
"Okay, let's go."
"good."
Ning Que greeted Shen Qinghe.
Then walk ahead.
"Actually, the salt farm isn't complete yet."
“A lot of tools are not used.”
"Brother, do you still remember the waterwheel from yesterday?"
"Um, is it used for irrigation?"
"It's more than that." Ning Que shook his head and said seriously, "Brother, let me ask you what Linzi lacks most right now?"
The two of them were talking as they walked.
Gongshu Chou thought about it for a while.
The answer came quickly.
“It’s a human!”
"Yes, to be more precise, it's human power." Ning Que smiled and nodded, pointing to the distance and saying, "Humans are the masters of all spirits, able to control everything. Humans run slowly, so they domesticated war horses; humans need to hunt, so they tamed hunting dogs; humans need to cultivate land, so they have oxen and plows."
Gongshu Chou listened patiently.
I think what Ning Que said makes a lot of sense.
"The process of human development is actually a conquest of nature. In ancient times, people ate raw meat and drank blood. It was only after the accidental discovery of fire that they began to eat cooked food."
"What do you mean, Junior Brother?"
Ning Que pointed to the sea. "Master once said, 'The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contending, and nothing in the world can contend with it.' The waterwheel I developed actually uses the power of the water flow to drive the waterwheel, and then continuously carry the water to higher places. Brother, think about it carefully. A running waterwheel can actually drive many devices."
"hiss……"
Gongshu Chou suddenly took a breath of cold air.
At this moment, I thought of the key.
Although it is not clear enough, I have a lot of ideas.
Ning Que stopped on his own initiative.
He did not say anything to disturb Gongshu Chou.
Gongshu Chou was a master craftsman famous throughout China.
No one can match his craftsmanship.
Ning Que needs such talented people to assist him.
Although he has many ideas, he needs people to implement them. He can't do it alone, so he needs help.
For the ancients, they might be ignorant, but they weren't stupid. With just a little guidance from Ning Que, they could figure out the key points. As they grew older, they could even enlighten Ning Que.
The main reason is Ning Que’s identity.
He can't do everything himself.
And he doesn't know everything.
He only knew that many things existed, but when it came to the specifics of how to make them, even he had no idea. Planes, tanks, internal combustion engines, trains...
