With Li Zhi's explanation, Ma Jingxuan was relieved a lot.

A year would have been within his prediction, so that his wishes would have been fulfilled.

And Wang Xiuming is more concerned about the construction of commercial ships and cargo ships, and at present, he has two eyes in Ezhou City, and his heart is much more down-to-earth than Ma Jingshuo.

This person attaches more importance to the simultaneous participation of other ship yards, but this question is the key to Li Zhi's previous proposal to adopt the safest way.

His purpose is that other shipyards cannot master the technology of new ocean-going ships as soon as possible.

The reason is very simple, Li Zhi also has to rely on this advantage in exchange for the preferential orders of Zhengqing Wenqitang's ships, if the imperial court leads the distribution of qualifications for technical processes, other ship yards can bypass him, the actual inventor.

Therefore, Li Zhi's attitude towards Wang Xiuming's question was obvious and resolute: "I hope that the construction qualifications of passenger and cargo official ships will be strictly controlled, otherwise the original order of Zhengqing Wenqitang will not be postponed indefinitely?" ”

Wang Xiuming didn't know what he was thinking, "Mr. Li, I think Yangzhou is the most prosperous city in the southeast of our Datang, and shipbuilding and navigation are the best among all coastal cities, and Yangzhou Shipyard is one of the most important shipbuilding bases, I think we can find a few there in advance." ”

"But Zhengqing Wenqitang's order, I am about to go to Yangzhou and Xuanzhou, you give them the imperial court order, what should I do with my order?"

"Mr. Li, we can ......"

Wang Xiuming was halfway through his words, but he was interrupted by Ma Jingxuan in time, and he didn't forget to give him frequent looks:

"The advanced technology comes from the hands of Mr., and it should be made by Mr. to make a trade-off, and the two ocean-going ships in Ezhou City have not yet taken shape, and there is still some time before the launch of the sea trial, I think it can be delayed!"

He could see the truth, and before he successfully negotiated with Li Shangshu of the Ministry of War, it was obvious that Li Zhi would firmly control this kind of related process.

Wang Xiuming is also an old fritter who has been in officialdom for many years, and after being reminded, he immediately realized the ingenuity inside.

Although he was reluctant in his heart, Li Zhi could be regarded as a big man who could not afford to offend, so he could only follow Ma Jingxuan's words to express his heart to Li Zhi:

"It's that I'm a little anxious, the two ocean-going ships haven't really verified the effect of water, and they really need to be further examined."

Li Zhi said: "Yangzhou is near the river and the sea, with developed water transportation, and has been an important hub for north-south transportation since ancient times. Since the opening of the Grand Canal, it has become the center of the country's water transportation and salt transportation, and it is also an international port open to the outside world on the Maritime Silk Road. ”

If others give face, they will also repay Taojiang, and once the proposal is established, Wang Xiuming's role in it is obvious.

Wang Xiuming's heart was immediately much happier, and Li Zhi further enhanced his confidence:

"In the future, I will build a larger sea ship with a load of tens of thousands of stones, the helmsman will reach more than 300 zhang, the ship can open a garden to grow flowers and vegetables, and the sailors alone will reach thousands of people, and strive to become the first Shenzhou in the world!" When the time comes, Wang Langzhong will need to contact the best shipyard. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xiuming was immediately so excited that his eyes lit up red.

The world's first Shenzhou, but destined to be in the annals of history, even if he is not the actual designer, but as the person in charge, there will also be a surname mark, such achievements have gone beyond the utilitarian significance, that is a major contribution through the ages.

Ma Jingshuo was also enthusiastic when he watched from the side, and asked heartily: "Mr. Li, can you reveal something about the advanced warship?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, "In addition to the traditional main battle ships, I already have the preliminary design drawings of the vehicle and ship!" The car ship is also a kind of warship, the hull is equipped with wooden impellers on both sides, a wheel is called a car, manpower pedals, and the ship moves like flying. The vehicle and ship can be two or three stories high, can carry more than 1,000 people, and the largest has 32 cars. When fighting the enemy, most of the existing ships were sailboats, and it was very difficult to sail when encountering headwinds and headwinds, and the vehicles and ships overcame these difficulties to a certain extent. ”

He advanced the most primitive form of the ship by hundreds of years to make up for the lack of relevant application technology during the Tang Dynasty.

Ma Jingshuo also showed great surprise, in the Tang Dynasty, which was still the only means of sailing for sailing ships, he was well aware of the great significance of Li Zhi's transformation of vehicles and ships.

"Please also ask for further clarifications, sir." There was a begging look in his eyes.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "I call the car and ship the Flying Tiger Battleship, first of all, I will build an eight-car ship, there are car guards on both sides of the ship, I don't see its car, but I see the boat like a dragon, up and down, extremely fast." This type of vehicle and boat is more suitable for large rivers, even narrow rivers! ”

"Eight cars? Could it be that there are other ship types? ”

"According to my design plan, there will be two, four, five, eight, nine, twenty-three, twenty-four and so on. For example, four cars, four wheels, eight wheels per wheel, four people spin, that is, can meet the daily travel of thousands of miles! ”

"Oh my God! How can it be so fast? ”

"The basic structure of the vehicle and ship propulsion device is one car and two wheels, and in the future, the Flying Tiger warship will be mainly two vehicles and four wheels, with a total of 32 wing oars, and there is no problem in traveling 700 miles a day!"

"According to Mr. Husband's design concept, how many cars can be achieved in the end?"

"The maximum number of vehicles and boats is up to 40 cars, with a total of 80 wing wheels, the movement is brisk, applied to the big rivers and heavy lakes, with the main thing of breaking the long wind and waves, and the water surface can guarantee the speed of travel no matter how vast it is!"

After some interpretation, Ma Jingxuan's state at this time can be said to be close to madness.

You must know that Datang is one of the strongest countries in the world today, and under the premise that its military strength is one step ahead, it will be terrifying if it is significantly improved.

At that time, the officials were still in a relatively simple era, and the incumbent officials were still very close to their duties.

Ma Jingxuan's mentality has changed dramatically, first of all, on the basis of thinking about the country, Li Zhi's words will undoubtedly make the future military more and more powerful, pointing out a clear and visible development trajectory.

This kind of mentality is not only reflected in him alone, but also Li Teng, Li Ting, and Wang Xiuming are also enthusiastic when they hear it.

"Mr. Li, why did you develop an eight-car car ship in the first place, instead of a more concise two-car setup?" This is the question raised by Li Ting.

Li Zhi said with a smile, "There are two shortcomings in the current water war in my Datang, one is that it cannot sail in shallow water, and the other is that it cannot enter the sea. The eight-vehicle vehicle ship can not only meet the requirements of some vast waters, but also solve the problem of passage in shallower waters, so the development of small vehicles and ships is not suitable for the current situation. There is a more important point, the eight-car vehicle ship is actually still doing experiments for troop carriers, once the eight cars are in good condition, they can be converted into troop carriers at any time by means of the chassis, because the eight-car vehicles and ships are concealed with guard plates, wheels, and oars, which can be assembled and disassembled at any time, that is, they can load 70 soldiers, plus 20 people who step on the drivers, and 20 people, and temporarily transform the vehicles and ships, you can realize the transportation of nearly 100 troops! ”

Several people suddenly realized, and their faces showed disbelief.

Li Zhi's design is not only exquisite, but also long-term

, is obviously the best consideration based on many careful considerations, the delicate thoughts, the far-reaching meaning, if he hadn't said it, even if the eight chariots and boats were placed in front of them, they didn't know that there was another wonderful use in them.

In the excitement of several people, Li Zhi's face suddenly became solemn:

"Do you know why I've been advocating for a big business? Without the support of strong national strength, these advanced designs will not be able to form a scale even if they are developed. But the court is about to face chaos, originally I planned to develop business first, but the reality makes me have to start as soon as possible, otherwise who knows what kind of resistance I will encounter in the future! ”

He didn't care which faction Ma Jingshuo and the others belonged to, and the purpose of making such a statement was not simply because of the development of Datang, but to create his brilliant and tall image.

Just as he imagined, his attitude of worrying about the country and the people is very easy to be recognized by several people in the current state.

Therefore, the next communication between several people is more in a rational variety of analysis.

Half an afternoon has passed since this talk, and by the time Li Zhi and the others returned to Tongtongyun Cave, it was already dark and about to be dark.

He was very relieved to see that Wei Zhen stayed, accompanied by her father Wei Xin.

Because the cultivation effect of the first batch of entrants was obvious, many people outside the cave left, and the cultivators in the cave were also replaced by the second group of people.

Wei Xin didn't leave, just waited for Li Zhi to arrive, and expressed the gratitude of the whole family.

Not surprisingly, after Qingqi proposed that she liked Wei Zhen very much, and that she had the approval of her cultivation physique, and planned to leave her to cultivate alone, Wei Xin was very excited.

Seeing Li Zhi's arrival, he rushed forward to thank him as soon as possible.

Li Zhi smiled: "I plan to accept your girl as the third apprentice, I don't know what the situation of your family is?" ”

"Zhen'er also has an older brother, and then there are our old couple!" Wei Xin replied respectfully.

"You're only forty years old, aren't you? If you are willing to leave the place where you practiced before, you might as well bring it with you when you return next time, and stay with Zhen'er! ”

What Li Zhi said made Wei Xin excited again, which meant that his whole family could follow Li Zhi's side, which was as developed as a carp jumping over the dragon gate.

"However, Zhen'er's brother is not a cultivator, his physique is not suitable, and their mother is not a cultivator!"

Since he planned to accept Li Zhi's invitation, he naturally had to tell the truth.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "These are not problems, most of my Zhengqing Wenqi Hall are ordinary people, just go to the store to help after their mother and son come, and the future marriage of Brother Zhen'er will also be handed over to me!" ”

Wei Xin didn't say anything for a while, his eyes were filled with tears, obviously Li Zhi's generosity touched something in his heart.

After sending the person away, Qingqi explained:

"Wei Xin has been an orphan since he was a child, and he was single-handedly pulled up by the old Taoist of a deserted Taoist temple, and when he was a teenager, because of the protection of him, the old Taoist became disabled, and he sent the old man to the end a few years ago, and this life has been hard!"

"Being able to cultivate to the master realm in such a predicament, Wei Xin's inner insistence is a huge help, and bringing their family to the city can be regarded as a bittersweet end." Lee's Way.

"Zhen'er, kowtow to your master!" Qingqi nodded, and turned around to beckon the little girl. (https:)
