Looking at the thick volume of text, Sun Ce was surprised and happy. Can he get the results he wanted? It is said that he can write so many texts, which shows that Bu Zhi really put in effort. He should have collected all the information he should collect and sorted out what he should organize, and there will be no too many omissions.

This is the basis of academic research - to possess information as comprehensively as possible. Sima Qiang also spent decades of traveling around the world, reading history books, and collecting and sorting materials. The water war is concentrated in the Yellow River and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. With limited historical records, this is also the best area for actual interviews.

Bu Zhi can be said to be unique in doing this, including the right time, place, and people.

Sun Ce roughly read the manuscript and first looked at the previous directory. The Han Dynasty scholars already had the concept of a directory, which was the title of a chapter, and the catalog was a brief description of the purpose. Bu Zhi added another item, and wrote a number behind each directory, which was the approximate number of words in the content of this chapter, which was exactly as accurate as a hundred. Sun Ce read the catalog and had roughly a few numbers.

As he expected, there were not many contents of water war technology, most of which were records related to water war and pirates, and these records were mainly records of field trips. What made Sun Ce most happy was that in addition to the large number of sea deeds, Bu Zhi recorded the locations of many islands and summarized the wind and hydrology of different seasons. Therefore, he proposed the concept of monsoon.

Sun Ce pushed the manuscript to Guo Jia. "Zishan, this article is done well." He first gave Bu Zhi a positive comment. "You came from the East China Sea, have you ever met Gan Xingba?"

"See, Gan Fubo read this manuscript and also made some suggestions. He had copied a copy and planned to arrange for people to go to the field to verify and explore the way. Now it is the beginning of the spring monsoon, and traveling north is the most labor-saving. However, compared to the information I provided, the Elk family has helped him more. The rules of this monsoon are what they told me first."

"Moe's family?"

"Yes, most of the business of the Mi family goes through sea routes, from Jiaozhou to Jiaozhou in the south and Liaodong in the north, and goes to everything. However, the sea routes are dangerous, often with subversion, and often encounter pirates. If there are larger and more stable warships and escorts from navy, their business will be bigger."

Sun Ce looked at Bu Zhi and showed a smile that understood. "Bu Zishan, is the Mi family very attentive to entertain themselves?"

Bu Zhi also laughed. "To be honest, the general said that Mi's family also copied a copy of this manuscript and paid me a hundred gold medal for it. I know that the general has used more money recently, so I am not in a hurry. With the Mi's family, I can buy a house in Wujun and resettle the tribe. General, I have never thought that the article is so valuable. What plans does the general have, and I may be able to serve."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. Bu Zhi was interesting, and his words were half true and false, neither humble nor arrogant. However, he himself might not realize that his thoughts had changed unknowingly. Bu Zhi was a pragmatic Confucian scholar, but first of all, he was a Confucian scholar. Even if he was very pragmatic when acting, he would not talk about profits. Now that he could talk about this issue so calmly, it was already a progress.

"The remuneration of the Mi family is the business of the Mi family. I promised that your remuneration is mine, and it is not a conflict. Although I do owe a lot of debts now, I have made arrangements for this money and will not owe you. After passing the review, I will send it to you as soon as possible. There are many articles that can be done, but I still hope that you can do this article more in-depth and more solid."

"Here." Bu Zhi bowed and bowed. "Please give orders to the general."

"You go to Wujun as soon as possible to exchange the situation with Lu Jijiu and Huang Dajiang, and then rush back to Qu County to serve as the military plan of Gan Jiawei. Do you think it's okay?"

Bu Zhi's eyes flashed slightly. "Is the general preparing to attack the Bohai Sea from the sea?"

"What do you think?"

"Okay." Bu Zhi showed an excited expression. "I looked over the way and had this intention, so I spent some time visiting the pirates. The general may not know that the place with the most pirates is the Bohai Sea, which is the northern border of Qingzhou. From Donglai to the sea to the northeast, you can reach Liaodong in at most two days, and you can reach Yuyang in at most five days, Youbeiping in Youhai, and Bohai Sea is even closer. If you can deploy a navy in Donglai, it would be like inserting a knife in the ribs of Jizhou..."

Bu Zhi was enthusiastic and brought his discoveries one by one. He also mentioned in particular: the role of the tower ship in naval battles is much greater than that of the inland water wars. The tower ship has a large size and a large load, and can carry more materials and sail at sea for a long time. These are advantages that those small boats do not have. The strong wind at sea can solve the disadvantage of the tower ship's slow movement due to its large size. There is an important reason why the pirates in the East China Sea are rampant. After the dynasty was pacified, the tower ship army gradually became deserted, giving these pirates room to survive.

Of course, there are problems with the tower ship, but the overall advantages are obvious. If you want to build a strong navy, especially a navy who walks by sea, the development of the tower ship should be the top priority, and the number of existing tower ships is far from enough.

Bu Zhi's view coincided with Sun Ce's idea, and he was more convinced that Bu Zhi was a qualified navy military strategist. With his cooperation with Gan Ning, the navy can play the greatest role.

While reading the manuscript, Guo Jia listened to Bu Zhi's speech. His opinions were similar to Sun Ce. The only difference was that he believed that although the number of tower ships was insufficient, it did not affect Gan Ning's exploration of the way to the Bohai Sea first. Jizhou and Youzhou did not have a real navy. With Gan Ning's current strength, Yuan Shao was more than enough to dare to go south with all his might. It was even more difficult to contact Youzhou and transport supplies. The Mi family did not have tower ships, so they did a lot of business.

Facing Guo Jia, Bu Zhi was silent for a moment and expressed his objection.

"The Mi family's business is indeed very good, but the price is not small. Every year, some ships will overturn due to wind and waves, and they will lose countless manpower and material resources. The Mi family's ability to benefit from it is the result of long-term accumulation. In particular, years of losses due to capsizing are common. Business gains and losses can be considered in the long run, but wars are dull, but there may not be such an opportunity. If the troops are profitable, they will definitely win. How can we rely on chance? If we can increase the winning rate by 10%, even if we pay twice the price, it will be worth it. Whether the number of ships in the building has a huge impact on the winning rate, and we should not ignore it."

Bu Zhi avoided the seat and bowed to salute. "General, Bu Zhi dared to ask the general to use the building ship in a concentrated manner in order to win."

Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia lowered his eyes and did not comment. Sun Ce helped Bu Zhi up. "Zishan, I have written down your suggestions. I will check the family first and see how many boats are available in total, and then I will give you a reply."

Bu Zhi received the order and retreated to the table.

Sun Ce asked some other questions and had a lot of chatting, and the more he talked, the more satisfied he became. He gave in to stay in Gepi for two days. Bu Zhi obeyed and followed Lu Jie. Seeing Bu Zhi boarding the boat and walking towards the camp on the lakeshore, Sun Ce turned around and asked Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, what do you think?"

"Bu Zishan is very motivated and has exaggerated what he said. Even if the general doesn't speak, he will probably recommend himself as the military plan of Gan Xingba." Guo Jia put away the manuscript and said lightly: "Although he has knowledge, he is a Confucian scholar after all. If he really goes to the battlefield, he will not be stronger than Gan Xingba, but he does not realize this, and Gan Xingba does not. After all, he is a warrior, and seeing these Confucian scholars, his confidence is naturally insufficient."

Guo Jia said, walked to Sun Ce and quietly looked at the passenger ship heading towards the shore. "General, are there any stunning members of Bu Zhi's tribe?"

Sun Ce was stunned. "How do you know?" Guo Jia did not go to the side of the side to greet Bu Zhi, and he probably didn't have the chance to see that face. Although he saw it, he did not show any strangeness when asked. After all, for him, beauties are not rare, so there is no need to make a fuss.
