Chapter 228: Battleship Naming 2

Only then did Sima De know that he had named the ship, and praised: "It is extremely appropriate for the lord to name the warship after General Qi's name." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Lin Weiye thought for a while and agreed: "It's good to use Qi Jiguang's nickname, it's very powerful. ”
Xia Nan was quite interested: "There are bigger ships to be named, what do you say are good names for the 1,000-ton and 1,500-ton classes?" ”
Sima De frowned and said: "General Qi is already the leader of the martial arts of this dynasty, and it is difficult to surpass, but there is a big chief Yu with the same name, known as Yu Long and Qi Hu, but it is not appropriate to name a larger warship!" Except for the lords during the founding of the country and the Battle of Jingjing, no one can overpower him in martial arts, and no matter how big he is, he is only a saint. ”
Xia Nan's eyes lit up: "The emperor is good, tell me who has the most outstanding martial arts in the emperors of this dynasty in your heart?" ”
"If you treat martial arts, the Taizu of this dynasty drove the Yuan Xinghan and laid down the great rivers and mountains, which should be the first, followed by the ancestors, and the battle of Jingyan took the entire country with a corner of the land, and the northern expedition to the Tartars, and the war achievements were outstanding."
"Yes, yes, what are the era names of Taizu and Chengzu?"
"The name of Taizu is Hongwu, and the name of Chengzu is Yongle."
Xia Nanyi high-fived and said excitedly: "Just call these two names." The largest class of warships is named Hongwu, the second-class is named Yongle, and the third-class is called Wuyi! ”
Sima De paused for a moment, this logic is correct, from the founding emperor to his son who can fight well, and then to the military general with outstanding military achievements, but is this naming deliberately catering to the imperial court? "Lord, your subordinates dare to ask, don't you want to accept the court's appeasement and become a military general?"
"Haha, no, no." Xia Nan Yangtian laughed, he looked around, this time, he did not call Sun Yuanhua to come, there are some things that can be said directly, "My ambition is naturally not to be a martial artist, and this court is not worth relying on." However, this trip to Shandong, I felt a lot. The rebels are so arrogant and domineering, and they still want to support Sun Yuanhua, no matter how unbearable the court is, it is still orthodox in the hearts of the people, and sometimes the court still needs to be approved in batches, and it is more convenient to do anything. I told Sun Yuanhua that I didn't want to accept the appeasement, but I just thought that the temple of the prefect of Qiongzhou was true and false, and that the temple of the prefect of Qiongzhou was small, and it was a lie to be sincerely caressed. There really will be a day when he will be caressed, and it is also for the sake of convenience. And the bottom line of being cared for is the same as now."
Setting this tone, Sima De's heart was relieved. He followed Xia Nan, naturally not to be a clerk under a court general, but to conceive the heart of the dragon. Although Xia Nan is currently in a corner of the high ground, but he has the law of training, the guns are sharp, and he can make money, how can he be compared to the thieves who loot everywhere for a living? At worst, he can be like the Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty, and be the overlord of one side.
After the matter of the battleship was discussed, Liu Quan stood up, and he had to ask Xia Nan for instructions on several important issues about the construction of the new city.
"Master, the construction of the new city cost 40,000 taels of silver: 14,470 taels of labor were spent on road repair, 7,610 taels were spent on demolition subsidies, 5,200 taels were spent on demolishing the city wall and clearing and transportation, and 20,790 taels were spent on building resettlement houses, totaling 40,077 taels of silver. According to your plan, in the future, you will have to build shops in the county, build public latrines, and build drainage gutters, all of which will cost money. The problem is that the flow of water in the textile factory is tight, and Mr. Cha of the Hongmao Shipyard has said many times that I have squeezed out the money he used to build the ship. I pondered, this new city is treated by the lord of your **, naturally you can't relax, but the shipyard also attaches importance to it, and you can't be lazy, how to distribute this flowing water, you have to decide. ”
When Charles heard Liu Quan say this, he shrugged his shoulders and said to Xia Nan: "That's true, the shipyard must have enough funds to ensure that the battleship is launched on time."
Xia Nan groaned, the problem of funding should have been thought of but was ignored. Due to the amazing profits of the textile mill before, and the fact that the robbery of large households has gained a lot, the funds are still sufficient, and the financial problem is not considered for the time being. Later, the stalls were spread, the shipyard was a big money-eater, not to mention, the arsenal and the steel mill also had a lot of expenses, and at the beginning of the construction of the new city, the silver spent was rising sharply.
You must know that it is already amazing to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to build two roads of more than ten miles and build a prototype of a new city, and if it is inland, according to the standards of this time and space, there is no need to think about it without 1.8 million taels of silver.
Now, Xia Nan is faced with a choice: whether to continue to push forward with the construction of the new city, or to delay the progress of the construction of the warship?
Liu Quan looked at him, expecting the answer he would say to be inclined to himself, and he looked forward to making more contributions and gaining a more important position in this system. I was born as a housekeeper, and I took refuge halfway, and the starting point was inferior, and now the former governor has been dug up by the master, if you don't quickly sharpen your head and climb up, how can you get ahead in the future?
Throttling has never been the main idea of Xia Nan, and the premise of making a big career is not to save money. After thinking about it, he chose open source. What kind of open source method, it is natural to find a way to find Lin Weiye's humanoid computer and living encyclopedia.
"The shipyard is naturally important, but the construction of the new city cannot be stopped. Master, I don't just build a few private houses, Lingao will become a commercial center in the future, and the infrastructure will naturally be good, and this money can't be saved! I'll figure out how to deal with the money, you just have to grasp the progress for me! ”
Liu Quan was overjoyed in his heart, following such a master is called a cool one, he doesn't beat or scold, he never gets angry with others, as long as he does his own thing with peace of mind.
"However, it is not in line with the laws of business to invest without seeking returns, and it is a pity that so much land is idle. You do this, first build a house on a plot of land, don't need to be luxurious, just an ordinary one, keep it and sell it. ”
Liu Quan didn't understand what kind of investment and what business, but he understood how to build a house and sell it, and asked suspiciously: "Master, our people in the Ming Dynasty build houses by themselves, and have you never heard of building ready-made houses and selling them?" ”
"You don't understand this, no one buys it now, it doesn't mean that no one will buy it in the future. What's more, there are ready-made potential buyers right now, aren't there a lot of craftsmen in the factory? Especially those craftsmen in the steel mill and arsenal, their wives and sons are not around, and if they buy a house here, won't they be able to take their families over? We sold the house and got back some of the funds, and we can let them live and work here in peace and contentment, and do things for us with peace of mind, killing two birds with one stone! ”
