Chapter 458: Conjecture

After verifying the feasibility of the pointed-bottom sailboat, Li Chengqian, who returned to the general as a supervisor, asked him to find a few pieces of paper, and casually drew a few sketches of various sailing ships that were more popular in later generations, and marked them according to different labels.

"You can try to make these kinds of ships, you can also try to make some adjustments to the number and style of sails, the warship is centered on stability and speed, and the merchant ship is centered on the carrying capacity, so distinguish the two kinds of ships, and don't mix them." While asking people to send the pictures to the shipwrights who craned their necks to watch, Li Chengqian assigned tasks to them.

No matter how powerful he is, he can't have so many things, so most of the drawings he draws are simple drawings, a gesture, and the specific things still have to be pondered by these craftsmen themselves.

"Your Highness, we don't have many craftsmen here, and I'm afraid it will take three years for so many styles to be made......," Liu Min said with some hesitation, taking advantage of the time when the guards sent the map.

After all, Chang'an is located in the north, and the shipbuilding industry is not so developed, and even if there are shipwrights as supervisors, most of them are manufacturing some small civilian ships, and let them build large ships, I really don't know when they will get it.

Li Chengqian was not satisfied with Liu Min's answer, interrupted his words, and said categorically: "Then go to Dengzhou or Quanzhou, no matter what method you use in this palace, in two years, the new warship must be launched!" ”

The grandfather of the later generations said: 10,000 years is too long, seize the day!

Li Chengqian's craving for tomato scrambled eggs is almost crazy, and two years is almost the limit of his patience. And if he could, he would like to send a ship out to sea right now, and go straight to the American continent, where he can get the tomatoes and peppers back.

"Your Highness, two years is too tight......

"This palace doesn't care about this, as long as there is a boat in this palace, and no warship is launched within two years, you will jump into the sea and fend for yourself!" Not wanting to listen to Liu Min's nagging anymore, Li Chengqian shook the sleeves of his robe and stood up from the chair, strode towards the outside of the prison, leaving everyone in the room speechless and looking at each other, sighing at the crown prince's moodiness.

"Gao Ming, what's on the sea?" After returning to the carriage, Kong Wen, who had never gotten out of the carriage, asked Li Chengqian.

This little girl is now mixed with Changle and others every day, sometimes Changle and them are in class, she follows Li Chengqian for a morning, and when Changle and them are out of school, they will get together to play.

"There are mermaids in the sea, very beautiful, they have the appearance and body of a human being, but their feet are like fish's tails! Their voices are so beautiful that they float up to the sea at night, singing beautifully to passing travelers, and when people get lost, they give directions and take people to safety. ”

The story of the mermaid is what every girl likes to hear, and Kong Wen is no exception, so she quickly immersed herself in Li Chengqian's description of the mermaid.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Kong's house and was about to get off, Kong Wen bit her lip and asked, "Gao Ming, can we also go to the sea in the future?" I'd love to hear mermaids sing! ”

This question made Li Chengqian hate to slap his mouth, blaming himself for having nothing to do, and knowing how good it would be to tell her the story of the banshee. However, looking at Kong Wen's expectant eyes, she finally said against her will: "Yes, but it takes luck to meet a mermaid, and not everyone has the opportunity to meet it!" ”

"Hmm!" Kong Wen nodded heavily, a big smile bloomed on her face, waved her hand at Li Chengqian, turned around and entered the house.

"Your Highness, are you sure you have the opportunity to go to the beach?" The carriage departed, and Night Charm, who had not spoken much, asked rarely.

"What? Do you want to see mermaids too? ”

"No, just ask."

Glaring fiercely at the night charm with an indifferent expression in the carriage, Li Chengqian twisted his head to the other side, this is especially the problem of sprinkling salt on the wound. As long as everyone knows that it is impossible for the old man to let himself out of Chang'an, he must ask for Mao.

However, Li Chengqian's brain hole is by no means comparable to ordinary people, and after only a moment's effort, he turned his head again: "Night Charm, do you dare to kidnap this palace?" ”

"Huh?!" The night ghost's face on the horse changed, licked her lips, and asked hesitantly, "Kidnapping?" Why? ”

Li Chengqian sighed, and seemed to be seriously considering the question of 'kidnapping', and only said after a while: "The palace has been kidnapped, so it can't be regarded as leaving Beijing without permission, right?" ”

"Your Highness, if you are found out in this way, I am afraid that you will not even be able to get out of the palace in the future!" Without waiting for Ye Mei to speak, Yang Yuxin, who was beside Li Chengqian, helped him point out the biggest flaw.

"How could it be discovered, they kidnapped me, and immediately left Beijing as fast as possible, as long as we get out of Chang'an, this palace believes that with the ability of Night Charm and Kuroko, no one should be able to find us." Li Chengqian said with confidence.

"Your Highness, the minister can't do it." Yemei seemed to be really thinking about Li Chengqian's problem, and after such a long time, she finally spoke slowly.

"Can't do it? Why? Li Chengqian frowned.

"Your Highness, the secret agent power in the Intelligence Section is only the tip of the iceberg revealed by His Majesty, although it seems that the 'Seventh Group' can have a place in it at the moment, but this is only when His Majesty's secret strength is not shown." Night Charm said, a hint of horror flashed in her eyes, obviously she had suffered some losses.

Li Chengqian realized something, nodded and said no more.

Ye Mei is right, a prince who has lived in the deep palace for a long time can gather the 'seventh group' and the 'sixth group' by his side, the old man fought the world back then, and there are countless capable ministers and warriors under his command, how can there be only a few kittens in the intelligence department now!

However, it is good to understand these things in his heart, and it seems a little redundant to ask again, so Li Chengqian wisely closed his mouth and did not continue to discuss the question of the power behind it.

This kind of thing of hiding behind the old man's back and guessing is the most taboo thing for Lao Li, even if he doesn't have any special ideas, if the old man knows about it, there will be no good fruit to eat. After all, there are too many things involved here, and it is very easy to be misunderstood by the old man, don't eat the first row at that time, and you can't even find a place to reason.

Thinking about his own affairs, Li Chengqian returned all the way back to the East Palace, dealt with the Changle people who were spreading joy, and then hid back to his 'Lanruo Temple'.

It's the end of August, the weather is starting to get cooler, the leaves on the messy trees in the yard have begun to fall, and those damn Hu people are afraid that if they don't get the glass they need out, they will have to eat another winter's woad and meat.
