Chapter 426: The Battleship Is Launched

The weather is getting colder, and the cold wind blows people all over the body. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shrinking his neck, Qin Chengming arched his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, but before leaving, Your Majesty told me to go back in time to resume my life, and the lower officials didn't dare to delay, so I won't stay in Qingzhou longer." ”

"Really? It's a pity. Xiao Ming said.

He hoped that Qin Chengming could bring the differences in Qingzhou to Chang'an to attract people who were stupid and had a lot of money to come to Qingzhou to consume, but this time it seemed that there was no chance.

Qin Rui was also a little reluctant when he heard this, after all, he also went out alone.

The imperial court's fleet arrived in the morning and was about to return in the afternoon, Xiao Ming had to take Qin Chengming to the Wei family restaurant for lunch, and in the afternoon he returned to the dock, leaving only Qin Rui and Xiao Ming staring wide-eyed.

"Qin Rui, since you will be an official in Qingzhou in the future, you and I will be monarchs and ministers from now on, and we must not be as cynical as before, and we must assist this king to develop the fief."

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Ming said to Qin Rui.

He knows Qin Rui very well, this person is very smart, but he didn't do his job before, which was nothing when he used to play, but if he wants to achieve something great, he must tell him a few words.

"Your Highness is too worried, Qin Rui has already changed his mind, after all, now Qin is also a family person, and he is no longer young and frivolous." Qin Rui said indifferently.

He had to admit that his father chose the right time, taking advantage of the opportunity to come to Qingzhou to bring him, in fact, many smart people in the court are making choices, but they are more decisive.

Since Xiao Wenxuan deposed the second prince to Bazhou for Xiao Ming's sake, many people instantly understood Xiao Ming's current status in the court.

And the courtiers who were close to Xiao Ming all wanted to send their children to Qingzhou, firstly, to show their loyalty, after all, once they arrived in Qingzhou, they were equivalent to protons.

Second, they are reminding political opponents that even if they die, someone will still avenge them, which is a kind of silent deterrent.

"That's wonderful, so let's do it, you first go to Bowen College to study for a period of time, understand the responsibilities of the Shaofu Supervisor, if you are qualified, this king will arrange you to be the Shaofu Supervisor in Qingzhou." Xiao Ming said.

Qin Rui nodded, as Xiao Ming said, now he and Xiao Ming are in the relationship of monarchs and ministers, not the relationship between drinking and eating meat before, since it is Xiao Ming's arrangement, he is willing to accept it.

However, when Xiao Ming was about to arrange accommodation for him, he said: "Your Highness, the wine and food in this Wei Family Restaurant are really good, I want to go to the Wei Family Restaurant to live for a few days." ”

Xiao Ming just took back what he was about to say, and he said, "Are you sure?" The cheapest room in this Wei restaurant is also one hundred and twenty a night. ”

"One hundred taels!" Qin Rui was frightened, but after a short hesitation, he said: "Your Highness, Qin still has some savings, since he came to Qingzhou, wouldn't it be a pity not to enjoy it." ”

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming said: "It's up to you, if you give this king silver, this king will naturally not refuse." ”

"This Wei family restaurant belongs to His Royal Highness?" Qin Rui was stunned.

Unable to resist the attraction of the Wei family restaurant, Qin Rui still went like a moth to a fire, Xiao Ming couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only return to the palace alone, he originally wanted to let him go to the palace to live for a few days temporarily, but now it is saved.

However, this also proves on the other hand how attractive the Wei family restaurant is to these powerful people who are accustomed to a prosperous life.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw a person waiting outside the gate of the palace, and when he looked carefully, it was Zhang Liang's son Zhang Kun.

At this time, Zhang Kun also saw Xiao Ming, he bowed down and said: "Your Highness, my father asked me to rush to Qingzhou overnight to tell Your Highness that the battleship of the Dengzhou Shipyard has been launched. ”

"It's all in the water!" Xiao Ming exclaimed.

"Yes, Your Highness, all of them have been launched, and this year we have completed the task delivered by His Highness a month earlier than last year." Zhang Kunxi said.

"It's really a happy coming, as soon as the shipbuilders of this court arrived, this Galen ship was launched, so that you can spare a month to build a shipyard." Xiao Ming said happily.

Zhang Kun showed a strange look when he heard this, and he said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, is there a craftsman from the imperial court?" ”

Zhang Liang's father and son have always been in Dengzhou, and they lack understanding of Qingzhou's affairs, so he told him the news of 30,000 craftsmen.

"Thirty thousand?" Zhang Kun was a little stunned when he heard this, but he continued: "Your Highness, can you let the little slave serve as the supervisor of one of the shipyards?" ”

"You?" Xiao Ming realized at this time that something was wrong, in the past, it was the post general of the post station who brought the news, but this time it was Zhang Kundi who brought the news.

Zhang Kun scratched his head, a little embarrassed, he said: "It's Your Highness, now my father and I can't stay in a shipyard." ”

"Why?" Xiao Ming was puzzled.

Zhang Kun sighed, "Your Highness, the little slave proposed to add a watertight cabin structure to the Galen ship, and I never wanted to be scolded by my father, saying that I didn't know how to learn, and I like to change blindly." ”

"Watertight?" Xiao Ming laughed.

This watertight compartment is actually a watertight compartment, which is generally divided into compartments that are not connected to each other with bulkheads, and there are 13 cabins and 8 cabins.

This kind of watertight compartment plays a great role in the ship's anti-sinking ability, and it is generally difficult for a ship with a watertight compartment to sink.

Zhang Kun laughed a little embarrassedly, "Your Highness, this may really be the whimsical of the little slave." ”

"Your idea is good, but the keel structure of the Galen ship is different from that of ordinary merchant ships, and the watertight compartment is not suitable for the Galen ship." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Zhang Kun showed a disappointed look when he heard this, "It seems that my father is right, the little slave really doesn't know how to learn." ”

patted Zhang Kun on the shoulder, Xiao Ming smiled: "If you don't understand, you can learn, there's nothing to be ashamed of, you are still young, it's time to study, do you want to go to Bowen College to learn shipbuilding, there is real shipbuilding knowledge." ”

Now that the construction technology of the Galen ship has matured, Xiao Ming began to reserve talents for the next generation of ship types, because at that time, more than just a drawing can allow craftsmen like Zhang Liang to imitate the ship.

"Shipbuilding knowledge?" Zhang Kun wanted to prove himself, but it turned out that he was wrong, and then hope rose in his heart again, "Your Highness, if I learn, can I surpass my father?" ”

"Of course, if you are proficient in the shipbuilding knowledge of the academy, you will definitely be better than your father." Xiao Ming said confidently.

Zhang Kun nodded heavily and said, "The little slave is willing to go." ”

Xiao Ming said: "In this case, when this king returns from Dengzhou, you will go to the academy to report, this time the battleship is launched, this king will go to Dengzhou with Yue Yun and other students of the Naval Academy." ”
