Chapter 472: The Age of Discovery

Of course, Li Er, who has seen the world, will naturally not be asked by Wei Zheng, after all, on the way here, Li Er had already expected that he would be interrogated by the officials, and Wei Zheng was the leader of this group of officials.

"Aiqing is too careful, I have only been a little unwell in the past few days, but my body has just improved a little today, and I have come to the court." After Li Er finished speaking, he pretended to cough a few times, indicating that he was recovering from a serious illness.

After Li Er finished speaking, he quietly glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji who was standing below, and motioned to the eldest grandson Wuji to help him quickly.

How could the eldest grandson Wuji, who had worked with Li Er for most of his life, not understand the meaning in Li Er's eyes, if he couldn't even understand this meaning, the eldest grandson Wuji's first brother in the court could be regarded as the end.

So the eldest grandson Wuji quickly stood up and said: "Lord Wei, the emperor must be unwell these days, you see that the emperor's face is still a little pale now, this must be the beginning of a serious illness, so we still don't waste time, there have been a lot of excerpts in the past three days, let's deal with official business first, the emperor is also recovering from a serious illness, or don't let him waste his tongue too much on these known issues." ”

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, Li Er immediately gave the eldest grandson Wuji an appreciative look.

"Yes, Aiqing, if there is anything to do, let's play it quickly, let's talk about important things first." After Li Er heard this, he immediately diverted the topic.

Li Er's appearance Zhang Nan can only quietly give Li Er a thumbs up in his heart, acting school, absolute acting school, let alone winning any Golden Rooster Award, even the Oscar little golden man Zhang Nan thinks Li Er can also win it.

There is also the pale and colorless Lian, where is this the first recovery from a serious illness, this is obviously overindulgence, but these words Zhang Nan is just talking in his heart.

Things are dealt with one by one, although Li Er has been in power for three days, but it is undeniable that Li Er is a good emperor, and he is an emperor with a very correct opinion, as long as it is something he thinks is not good, it will definitely not work, so things are handled very quickly.

After spending more time than usual, the backlog of three days was finally completed, and Zhang Nan was also very impressed by the efficiency of Datang, as long as it was opened, it would definitely not be delayed.

After everything was dealt with, Li Er was relieved, as long as the group of officials did not find fault, Li Er's three-day affair could be regarded as over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, whoever still has Ben, let's play it quickly." At this time, Li Er also quietly put his hand on the back of his waist and gently hammered it, it is not good to be old at this age, and after sitting for a while, he felt some pain in his waist.

Courtiers, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that there is really nothing going on. Seeing that no one was playing, Li Er immediately turned overjoyed, and if no one played, it meant that he could go down.

Now Li Er's mind has already flown to Empress Changsun, and after Empress Changsun agreed to a series of "excessive" requests made by Li Er in the morning, Li Er was a little impatient.

Of course, the first thing after the next dynasty Li Er will definitely not go to the sleeping palace of Empress Changsun, the first thing Li Er has decided to go to the Tai Hospital first and prescribe a few pairs of medicines to nourish the body.

Just as Li Er was about to announce the dissolution of the dynasty, Zhang Nan jumped out again and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do." ”

Li Er, who was full of joy, had already lifted his butt from the dragon chair, but Zhang Nan's words pressed Li Er back on the chair, if it was someone else, Comrade Li Er would probably let him play again tomorrow, after all, he was a person who was "recovering from a serious illness", but Zhang Nan stood up, and Li Er really couldn't do it.

So Comrade Li Er could only sit on the chair again with a reluctant face, and then asked, "Qingquan, what is the matter with you, let's talk about it." Although what Li Er said on his lips was still very polite, his expression was clearly an expression of "say it quickly if you have something to say, and let it go if you have a fart".

When Zhang Nan saw Li Er's expression, he didn't care, anyway, this matter had to be said, and Zhang Nan was not in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the minister just wants to ask, do we still want that season of two or three crops and a yield of nearly 1,000 catties per mu." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

As soon as Zhang Nan said this, Li Er immediately said with a solemn expression: "That's for sure, it's just that Qingquan, didn't you say that you should have that steamship?" Isn't this sea a dangerous voyage? ”

"That being said, it's just that the steamship has been built by the Ministry of Heaven, of course, it's just a small model, but the minister recently heard that the result is quite gratifying, the emperor has an order, the Ministry of Industry can start building, and when the ship is built, we can set foot in the Age of Discovery." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"In that case, what are you waiting for, Wei Tianwu, this matter will be handed over to you and Qingquan, it is extremely necessary to build that steam ship for me, I must go to that overseas place to get back the crops that are two crops and three crops this season, ah, what other things can yield thousands of catties per mu." With these things, we in Datang will no longer have to worry about hunger. Li Er said sonorously.

Let the people have their stomachs full, this is the foundation of thousands of generations.

For Li Er, there is nothing more important than maintaining his rule. And let the people have a full stomach, which can ensure that the people do not rebel to the greatest extent, since ancient times, the people have overthrown tyranny, and that is because even eating has become a problem, and it has to be done.

As long as the people can live, it doesn't matter to them who will be in charge of the throne and who will hold the power. Being able to eat a full stomach is their top priority.

Li Er naturally understands this truth.

"Yes, Lord's Order." Wei Tianwu stood up and handed it over.

In fact, Chinese shipbuilding was quite good before the West entered the Age of Discovery, and the treasure ships of Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty were more than two or three times more than those used by Columbus who discovered the New World.

When Xu Fu, a priest of the Qin Dynasty, took five hundred boys and girls to Fusang, it had already shown that ancient China already had a sea ship that could experience wind and waves, although the technology was immature, and there was also an element of luck, but it was certain that it could sail on the sea.

What Zhang Nan did was just turning manpower into steam power, and as for the materials of the ship, Zhang Nan thought that Datang's scientific and technological level was not up to the point of making steel ships, so he still used wood as raw materials.

So as long as you have the right drawings, it can be manufactured very quickly.
