"Good!" Zhu Linmiao nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed, "You should also try your best to appease the shipwright, and those who have difficulties in the family will report it to the court, and the court will try its best to solve it." ”

"That's right," he pointed to the two small slipways available in front of him, "Recently, I have built some galleys for these two slipways, I have already drawn the drawings for you, and they are somewhat similar to the Canton boats, and if you don't understand them, you can wait for Pang Zhu to come and guide your craftsmen." ”

During the Northern Expedition led by Zhu Linmiao, he frequently used naval warships to transport soldiers, grain and grass, which was also the reason why he dared to go deep behind enemy lines to raid Nanjing.

However, in the process, he noticed that the sailors' sea vessels were not suitable for use in the Yangtze River. The wind on the Yangtze River is weak, but the current is very fast, and large boats that rely too much on wind power will become clumsy and difficult to move, and even have to be dragged by slender men to move in many cases. And although the small boat moves freely, its combat effectiveness and transportation capacity are too far behind.

Then he remembered a kind of galleys that the Venetians had built, the Gallese. This galley has a special gun deck with oarsmen on the lower deck, which is considered the last swan song of the galleys.

After that, he made some modifications on this basis, such as reducing the hull and changing to an Oriental-style hard sail, etc., and redrew the drawings and handed them over to Longjiang Shipyard for construction.

This kind of galese battleship can be built to more than two or three hundred tons, which is enough to be used as the main warship.

The most important thing is that in the breezy environment on the Yangtze River, both the Galen ship and the traditional Ming Fu ship are far less powerful than this kind of galleys, and at the same time, the centipede clipper is not as powerful as its firepower and defense. It can be said that this kind of galley is simply tailor-made for the environment of the Yangtze River.

Moreover, this kind of ship is somewhat similar to the type of Guangzhou ship, and the difficulty of the process is relatively low, which can be used by the craftsmen of Longjiang Shipyard to practice. Once they had become familiar with the art of large ships, they would be able to build more complex Galen with ease.

Zhu Linmiao knew very well that at present, the Ming Dynasty and Jianyu had formed a situation of facing each other across the river, and the Qing army had suffered many losses at the hands of the Ming Navy Division before, and Dolgon would definitely devote himself to the construction of warships.

And after defeating the Jianyu Naval Division, there is still the Netherlands, the European maritime hegemon, waiting for the Ming Naval Division, which is a fierce opponent that must not be taken lightly.

Therefore, whether it is to form a crushing advantage over the Jianyu Naval Division, or to compete with the Dutch for the dominance of maritime trade in the future, it is necessary to release the strong production capacity of Longjiang Shipyard in order to make Daming invincible!

After Zhu Linmiao carefully inquired about the repair of the shipyard and explained the preparation of the shipping school, he rushed to the east of the city to preside over the listing ceremony of Nanjing Gezhi School.

A very luxurious house in the east of Nanjing, the three-entry courtyard covers an area of more than ten acres, hundreds of houses of various kinds, and a very spacious backyard. This was originally the house of Hong Chengchou's henchman Yang Zhihe, but now it has been confiscated and used as a Gezhi school.

In fact, the renovation of the interior of the school is not far from complete, but since it is a ready-made house, it looks quite complete from the outside. So Zhu Linmiao simply ordered the official listing to brush up on the "presence" of the university as soon as possible to increase the influence of the university.

In addition, after the card is hung up, the enrollment work can also be launched, and when the teachers from Fujing and Jiangxi arrive in Nanjing, the class can start at any time.

Zhu Linmiao is hungry for talents in natural sciences, and he can definitely delay it one day earlier.

He changed into formal clothes in the carriage, and more than a mile away from the compound of Gezhi Academy, he had already seen a large number of officials and students waiting respectfully outside the main gate, and the people around him were even more crowded.

The process of listing is very simple, the plaque engraved with the gilt characters of "Nanjing Gezhi Academy" has actually been hung on the lintel early in the morning, Zhu Linmiao just lifted the red silk covering the plaque, and symbolically knocked the nail for fixing, and the ceremony ended.

The highlight of the ceremony was the personal address of His Royal Highness the Vice-Chancellor.

Zhu Linmiao first briefly said that in the future, the imperial court will attach importance to Gezhixue, and select some outstanding graduates to serve in the Ministry of Industry - as for the Gezhi Imperial Examination, because the involvement is too large, it is not appropriate to announce it at this time.

Later, he praised Yao Qisheng, a student of Fujingge Zhi Academy, and others for their contributions to the Northern Expedition of the imperial court. It is described in detail that they first completed the rubber vulcanization process through experiments, so as to create the artillery seal. During the decisive battle of Jurong, this sealing ring helped the Ming army to greatly increase the firepower of the Fu Lang machine gun, and the building lost his armor and abandoned his armor. Later, more than a dozen people risked their lives to try out the production of fierce explosives. It was this powerful explosive that allowed the Ming army to finally blow up the city of Nanjing.

It was precisely because of the contributions of Yao Qisheng and others that the army reduced at least tens of thousands of casualties in the process of recovering Nanjing. The imperial court has decided to reward Yao Qisheng and others with 10,000 taels of silver and give priority to being elected to serve in the Ministry of Industry. ”

His remarks immediately sparked a heated discussion among the readers present.

"I saw the explosion of Nanjing City that day, the movement, like a landslide and a crack! It turned out to be a ...... made by the Gezhi Academy."

"This knowledge is so powerful! It's like an immortal, and I must study it. ”

"The listing of Gezhi Academy can invite His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King to preside, it seems that the imperial court attaches great importance to this!"

"Didn't you listen to the Auxiliary King? Reward 10,000 taels, and you can also give priority to being an official in the Ministry of Industry! This is a step to the body......"

"I've been failing the imperial examination for more than ten years, maybe I can try it."

"I borrowed a volume of "Geometric Original" at the beginning of the year to read, and my father reprimanded me and said that it was a strange trick and a trick, look at it, His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King has said that you can become an official by learning these 'tricks and tricks'!"

"I don't care if I can be an official or not, I just want to be like that Brother Yao, and teach Tartar a good lesson based on what I have learned!"

"By the way, when I first came over, I saw that there was a registration office outside the entrance of the school, a few brothers, let's go and sign up together."

"I have this intention in the next, and we will go ...... together"

Under the influence of the "Western study to the East" at the end of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of natural science works translated from Europe were very popular among readers, but they were always regarded as "sideways" that could not be put on the stage, and readers had to focus on the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Recently, Zhu Linmiao's "bright future" speech can be regarded as officially setting the tone for Gezhixue, which was formerly commonly known as Western Studies, in a word, studying Gezhixue can get ahead!

In addition, the new entry of the Ming army to recover the old capital made all the people of the Ming Dynasty proud and proud, and Yao Qisheng and others, who made great efforts in the process, immediately became heroes and idols in the eyes of everyone. I want to talk about "The Rise of the Ming Dynasty 1646" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
