Chapter 58: The Worst Generation
Wuhan No. 2 Shipyard finally launched the latest three-masted sailing ship, 2,500 stone standard load design, the stern has been modified to a certain extent, the whole ship and the "eight years made" like a crescent moon shape is different, it is more like a bone chopper put upside down.
"Winter is coming soon, and the Yangtze River test should be completed as soon as possible."
"Sir, don't worry, you won't miss the deadline."
In the home port, the counterweight crane next to it is still lifting the goods, and the cargo in the cabin of the sand ship has long been loaded with regulated cages or wooden boxes, which not only increases the cargo volume, but also improves the efficiency of transportation and transshipment.
Half of the supervisors of the second shipyard are Zhang De's students, and some big workers came to Chang'an, but because they have no experience in supervising the construction of giant ships, they are also half-groping and half-learning.
"Last year, you went to Fuso in Suzhou for a speed test, how was the effect?"
"The ship's bell ran for fifty hours, and it arrived at the port of Iyo Copper."
"More than 2,000 miles, even if there are ocean currents, this result is quite good."
Zhang De was a little surprised, he was able to run this result now, and the requirements for the crew, weather, and ocean currents were quite high. Without a little luck, it's almost impossible to do it.
"When we arrived at the port of Iyo Copper, the ship was overhauled." Rolling up the drawings in his hand, stuffing them into a bamboo tube, and carrying them casually, the student was very excited, "However, it was also with that test that there was an improved French style of 'made in 12 years'." ”
"Very good, very good." Zhang De patted him on the shoulder, "If you have any requests, remember to put them forward." ”
"There is still a shortage of people, not enough."
"This matter is something for the division to figure out, don't worry."
"Yes, sir."
Although according to the actual population size, the population of the area under the jurisdiction of the Wuhan Records Division should have ranked among the top ten in the entire Datang. However, in the short term, the concentrated labor force cannot be fully engaged in production activities. What's more, human beings are social animals and have their own complexities.
The conflict in life habits needs to be slowly settled and slowly run in through production and labor. It has not been a few years since the end of the Han Fang vendetta, so that those Jianghuai black households and hidden households have to obediently and smoothly run to be "second-class citizens", without a little brain, no Kaiyuan Tongbao, don't even think about it.
What's more, black runaways are different from fangs, they themselves have their own inheritance, and they are Han Chinese. Naturally, it has its own family, its own heirloom concept, and this is a regional ethnic group. Just the issue of belonging is enough to keep Zhang De and his staff busy for a few years.
The production task of the shipyard is quite urgent, not only Zhang De is urging, Chang'an, Luoyang, Bashu, Xiangfan...... The magnates and families have long since put aside their faces and are impatient to go out to fish. The emperor secretly got the "silver from the black water art", and after being poked out this year, the turmoil caused was not small.
Even Luoyang's "conviction for words" has something to do with this.
Because strictly speaking, even the military leaders of Liaodong did not taste the soup. The whole thing is actually that the Denglai Navy lent the vests of the three major fleets of the China Resources, and then these vests went ashore with silver from the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in the name of "anti-smuggling".
After the silver landed on the shore was sealed, it was directly released into Beijing.
There is naturally a reason why Du Wei has been able to be rewarded, and Du Ruhui can leave Beijing safely and obtain a large number of resources brought by the central government.
Relying only on fame and relying on the emperor's compassion, this is not a human favor behind closed doors, how can monarchs and ministers have any eternal friendship.
After Du Gou transferred him, the matter was gradually discovered, until the incident in Juye County became a big one, and Hou Junji secretly played tricks and fishing, rebelled everywhere, advocated crooked reasoning, and attacked the emperor, which opened the ice that had been hidden for several years.
Under the ice, he is actually the richest emperor in history......
Compared with the Fengzhou silver mine given to Li Simo by Li Shimin and transferred by Li Simo to Li Lizhi, "Shen Ya Silver" is simply a behemoth.
After the rebellion in Juye County, it was revealed that Du Wei had a total of 400,000 taels of silver in the list of "offerings" to the emperor that he began to give to the emperor in the third year of Denglai.
This alone was close to one-fifteenth of the country's total tax that year, and the country's money and taxes at that time could actually be paid by the Ministry of Civil Affairs was only 3 million yuan, and the majority was still paid.
In other words, through "anti-smuggling", the emperor monopolized the "cash" far beyond what foreign dynasties could mobilize.
And that's not even counting the Emperor's profits from the Iyu Copper Mountain and the Jiaozhou Gold Mines, not to mention the large number of new industries and the huge royal estates.
In addition, after the emperor also promoted the "Great Feudalism", Amway was transferred to the name of Empress Changsun, and half of the Shu Jinguan of the Bashu Ran clan was sold in the hands of Empress Changsun.
In the face of this situation, whether it is out of envy, jealousy or hatred, starving to death for the timid and supporting the bold, there will always be someone who wants to pick a little scraps from the emperor's hands and burn them cold.
What's more, gold and silver are never leftovers.
Both the old nobles and the new nobles have a strong desire to share the profits from it, and a strong person like the Ran family, who is bleeding heavily in some places, naturally wants to make up for it from other places.
This is why the eldest grandson Wuji can succeed in promoting the "Xingzhongshu Province", behind which there are a large number of like-minded people, hoping to open up the situation from the core of Jingchu Province, that is, Ezhou.
And the one who can take on the big responsibility is naturally the former governor Shi Zhangde.
After the establishment of the Wuhan Records Division, Jiangxia, the former Ezhou Governance Office, naturally merged with Hanyang, the Chuzhou Governance Office, to form a new area where the north and south echo and integrate.
As for the construction of shipyards and shipyards, it is completely unimpeded, and from the central to the localities, they are all working hard to earn back a large amount of gold and silver in two to three years.
Datang is seriously short of gold and silver, and now, they know that a large amount of gold and silver has been transported to Denglai on a certain sea route, how can they bear it?
"In the future, there will be a lot more people who will operate the boat."
Zhang De stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the thousands of sails on the river, quite emotional.
However, before Lao Zhang had time to chant a sentence of "hundreds of battles", Zhang Heng, who came from a fast horse not far away, turned over and dismounted, hugged his fist at Zhang De and said: "Observation, those veterans of the 'New Fourth Army' have all agreed." ”
"Oh? I didn't think it would be so easy to talk about. ”
"Observe, what do we want those people to do?"
"Forming a militia group, it's not my idea, it's Ziwei Ling's wise decision! What, you're not convinced? As he spoke, Lao Zhang also arched his hand in the direction of Chang'an, looking extremely respectful.
Zhang Heng has a character for his own patriarch, obviously knowing, originally the "New Fourth Army" was the emperor's whim, but the cost of investment was too great, and the emperor was reluctant, so it was scrapped.
At present, it is officially abolished, the soldiers go back to their hometowns, and those who stay in the local area stay in the locals, in short, the emperor does not play.
However, if the emperor doesn't play, it doesn't mean that the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhang De don't play.
Now that the emperor wants to engage in the "Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty", it is normal for the "Zhongshu to order the eldest grandson" to train a group of "eleven supernovas".
It's all shameless, who cares if it's a "legal pirate", rob the fuck!
As for whether there will be a storyteller in the future who complains about what kind of "worst generation" Zhenguan has been in the fifteenth year, it is about him and Zhang, as long as it does not hinder him from working hard to make a little overlord learning machine.
