Going south along Yangzhou is the Yangtze River, Xu Jingzong didn't get off the boat, and Yun Hao forgot to let him get off the boat. Everyone is self-motivated, and it's not wrong to actively demand progress. A piece of music was sent to Luoyang by a fast horse, and it was believed that Li Er would agree to Xu Jingzong to serve as his marching commander.

Xu Jingzong has seen the chapter, and the military attache is not very valuable in these years. Especially when there is no war, the military position is pressed to death by several old commanders. The civil official was transferred to the military position, and he was transferred to the fat shortage of the assassin history. Xu Jingzong did not hesitate at all, nodded and agreed to Yun Hao's appointment. The Tang Dynasty was knighted with military merits, and if you want to further become a marquis in the title, transferring to a military position is the best shortcut.

As for the opportunity to make military achievements, isn't this time to go to war? followed the Duke of Chu to fight, who is not full of titles and wealth, and that Li Wenzhong has become fattened into any virtue. The annual income at sea is more than twice that of Yangzhou Thorn Mansion. No matter how ruthless the official is, after all, there are still the rules of the court. How can it be compared to pirates!

Now Li Wenzhong is arrogant to the point of collecting protection money from the coastal areas of Goryeo. As long as you don't pay, maybe he'll give you a bite one night. Anyway, to the outside world, it was all pirates. As for why pirates have firearms that only the Tang Dynasty Navy has, only God knows. Yuan Gai Suwen was so angry that he had no choice but to acquiesce to his local officials and follow the Tang Dynasty Navy to raise eyebrows.

It didn't take long to go up the Yangtze River to Jiangning.

The Jiangning shipyard is already quite large-scale, and there is a lesson from the last time. There are 4,000 government soldiers stationed around the shipyard, and recently 1,000 Xuanjia troops from Li Er's family have been transferred. It can be seen that Li Er attaches great importance to Jiangnan Shipyard.

It is still the tradition of the Yun family, and buildings have been built along the Yangtze River. The three-story buildings are either barracks or dormitories. At the depths of the water, two huge docks were built. In the telescope, the people standing on the top look like ants.

"What a big ship is going to be built!" Xu Jingzong was shocked, it was the first time he came to Jiangnan Shipyard.

"A big ship of 100,000 materials, of course, has to have this scale. In the past, ships had to rely on sails, so such a large mast was a big problem. I don't need sails for the ships I build. So, it's a lot simpler. ”

"Don't use sails? Could it be that such a large ship needs to be rowed by people? Xu Jingzong's eyes widened, with his knowledge structure, it was difficult to understand what a steam engine was.

Before arriving at the shipyard, the Gao family father and son took a boat to greet Yun Hao.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Xiao Gao has grown a lot taller, and the whole person is like a black charcoal head. opened his mouth and smiled at Yun Hao, so frightened that Zhang Miaoke quietly got into the cabin and never dared to come out again.

Lao Gao is even older, and the vicissitudes of five thousand years of furrows on his face are written on his face.

"I've seen Grandpa Guo!" I still can't change my old habit of paying homage, and I don't have the slightest consciousness of being a first-class master of the prison. If it really talks about grade, this old guy is also the fourth grade official of the imperial court. Compared with Xu Jingzong, it is only one level behind.

"Get up! Get up! He picked up Lao Gao and kicked Xiao Gao in the ass again.

Xiao Gao rubbed his ass and stood up, scratching his hand on his head.

"After a few years of hard work, the Liaodong Naval Division has added dozens of warships. You are the greatest merit, and Your Majesty is glad that there will soon be a decree. Yun Hao said to Lao Gao with a smile.

"Follow Grandpa Guo, what's not to worry about." Lao Gao also smiled innocently, looking like he had never seen the world.

"You old thing!" Yun Hao also felt that it was boring to talk like this, he was obviously very familiar but made it the same as working in the yamen.

"What's wrong with that boat!" Yun Hao pointed to the dock road in the distance.

"The people of the academy are installing that steam engine, as long as it is installed, the ship can be sealed. It is estimated that there will be two months before the ship can be launched. It is......! ”

"What's it?"

"It's just that it costs too much, and the whole propeller is made of brass. The rudder was bronze, and with the wood on board, the whole ship was no less than 300,000 pounds. In the past two years, the old man has spent money like water, and if it weren't for the person sent by Mr. Ling to take care of the accounts, the old man would have been scared out of his ways. ”

"The navy is a money-burning service! 300,000 runs down, and it's only a ship of 100,000 materials. In the future, we will build ships with steel. That's the real sea giant, and this kind of warship is an opponent that is not a single one. Yun Hao's mind came up with the big ship cannon of World War I, and the huge cannon with a caliber of more than 400 millimeters bombarded. The earth trembled, and the power of the explosion was even more terrifying.

"Ship with iron?" Xiao Gao's jaw is about to fall to the ground, and he comes out of his mother's womb and lives in the shipyard. I really never thought in my life that I could build ships with iron. Wouldn't a ship made of iron sink to the bottom as soon as it hit the water?

"Yes! Ship with iron, and in the future you will find that the sea is bigger than you think. The cost of expanding the territory on land is too great, and in the future, if the Chinese nation wants to find food for its children and grandchildren, it will have to go to the sea to find it. Save more money for your children and grandchildren, even if your grandchildren don't succeed, you will be able to lose two more years in the future. Yun Hao patted Xiao Gao on the shoulder, and the eyes of people in this era were still fixed on the land.

For the ocean, even Li Er, who swallows mountains and rivers, has little interest. In their eyes, the ocean is not worth mentioning anything other than salt and seafood.

In the vast land of China, there are only 20 or 30 million people. Many of them are still concentrated in the densely populated Central Plains and Guanzhong, and there are not many people in Hebei now, and the rest of the places are sprinkled with a layer of pepper noodles. A place with a population of 100,000 like Quanzhou, Yangzhou, and Guangzhou is a big city with a standard standard.

The population on land is not satisfied, and the demand for the sea is naturally not too high. In other words, Datang does not have enough demand now. There is no demand, there is no motivation, and there is no interest in such an extremely dangerous thing as going to the sea, and just a few hot-blooded young people can't make a little wave.

The expressions of the people on the boat were different, and Xu Jingzong was pondering. Xiong Kuohai's eyes were full of greed, and Lao Gao was full of yearning. Xiao Gao's face was full of disdain, he didn't believe that iron could float on the surface of the sea at all. I don't believe it when I say it, if it wasn't Yun Hao who spoke, Xiao Gao would be so scared that the person didn't even know his mother.

I was slapped on the head by my father, how did I learn this expression at a young age. Lao Gao is full of religious trust in Yun Hao's ability, even if one day Yun Hao says that the egg is made in a book, Lao Gao will believe it. And try to find that the one on the egg, preferably with two leaves, is more perfect.
