The drizzle moistened the grass and the bluestone road, and the slight ticking sound seemed to be the shallow chanting of the earth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Experiencing this quiet feeling, Xiao Ming's heart suddenly felt quiet.

He has been busy with government affairs for five or six years, but there are few times when he is so relaxed, but now his interest is unstoppable, so he said: "This is simple, I will hand you a game that you can play for four, so that you can relieve boredom in your spare time." ”

Aster likes to be the most lively, and at this time she clapped her hands, she said; "What is the emperor going to teach us?"

After a deep groan, Xiao Ming said; "I don't have this yet, so I can let people go to the pottery workshop."

After that, he called Qian Dafu, found paper and pen to draw a lot of patterns, and then asked Qian Dafu to take this to the ceramic workshop and let them send it over.

The next day, the ceramics workshop delivered the things, which were small squares with various patterns printed on them, nothing else, but contemporary mahjong.

After breakfast, Pothos, Aster and Cui Xueer came to the dormitory as promised, and at this time Xiao Ming had already explained to Fei Yueer how to play this mahjong.

When the three of them arrived, Xiao Ming introduced the rules to them again, and this time Xiao Ming used a technology spar, so the four of them remembered the rules quickly.

"This stuff is fun." The aster was shining in both ways, and she had always liked to frolic the most, and she suddenly fell into it when she got into it.

Xiao Ming smiled at this time: "Come on, come on, I will play a few games with you today, and if you have nothing to do in the future, you can also take the queen mother with you, and the queen mother of the province will be bored." ”

"What the emperor said is that this person has to have some fun, otherwise he will always be cranky."

Fei Yue'er, Cui Xue'er, and Zi Wan sat down at the table, and Lu Luo stood obediently behind Xiao Ming and pinched his shoulders for him.

Aster smiled evilly, "Then what do you think about every night?" ”

The pothos suddenly blushed, "Sister Aster, you bully me again!" ”

Fei Yue'er pursed her lips and smiled, she looked at Cui Xue'er, this imperial concubine was the most alien to them, so she said; "Xue'er, this aster is a spicy household, the two of them are used to frolicking, if you accidentally say the wrong thing, don't worry about it."

Cui Xue'er nodded lightly, she was a little envious of Fei Yue'er's laughter and scolding, and she wanted to blend in at the moment, so she said; "Don't worry, everyone's sisters, I won't be annoyed at this time."

For a man, the most feared thing is a fire in the backyard, although it is very interesting to see some palace scheming in contemporary times, but he doesn't want some messy things to happen in his palace.

But now that he sees Fei Yue'er looking like an eldest sister, he is relieved, as long as Fei Yue'er can take care of the overall situation, this harem will not be chaotic.

Mahjong started, Xiao Ming and the four of them forgot the time as soon as they played, and it was not until noon when Qian Dafu reminded them of lunch that the five of them came back to their senses from the fun of playing mahjong.

Because they had just come into contact with mahjong, the four of them were a little addicted, and after lunch, they besieged the city and fought at a table, Xiao Ming was from here after all, and he was not very sad about it.

Leaving the four of them to play in the dormitory, he went to the Qingzhou shipyard with Qian Dafu, and now he began to expand his influence overseas, which is very important to maintain maritime supremacy.

Without more advanced warships, his rights and interests at sea are likely to be challenged by European countries, so it is necessary for him to develop more advanced warships.

Out of Qingzhou City, Xiao Ming followed the Xiaoqing River to the Qingzhou Shipyard, and at this time, a boat emitting black smoke in the river water attracted Xiao Ming's attention.

This is a fifth-class Galen battleship, and at this time, a towering pillar sticks out from the center of the battleship, and it is this pillar that constantly emits black smoke.

Zhang Liang and Lin Wentao were both on the Galen boat, and the two were talking about something.

Seeing Xiao Ming coming, the two of them got off the boat and came to Xiao Ming at this time.

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Liang and Lin Wentao said at the same time.

Nodding, Xiao Ming asked; "Isn't this a battleship the first of the Galen warships?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang responded, and he said: "After Xia Guan saw this steam engine, he felt that it was completely possible to convert the previous Galen ship into a warship with sail voyage and steam engine power, otherwise it would cost a lot of money to rebuild it. ”

Xiao Ming nodded, Zhang Liang's words were in his heart.

In fact, Xiao Ming has been having a headache about the replacement of weapons during this time, in just six years, Qingzhou's firearms have changed from flintlock guns to rifled guns, and now they are about to be upgraded to fire cap guns.

Such a constant change of outfit makes the treasury a little unbearable, but this musket replacement is just that, and this battleship refitting is a big problem.

A Galen ship cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and he couldn't afford such a replacement.

"Yes, I came to the shipyard the other day before yesterday for this, and now you can transform the Galen ship into a steamship, and I can rest assured." Xiao Ming said.

Being praised by Xiao Ming, Zhang Liang laughed, and he said; "This is a matter of the lower officials."

Nodding, Xiao Ming continued to ask, "Now this Galen ship does not rely on the wind, how fast can it go in the water." ”

"About eleven knots." Zhang Liang said.

Lin Wentao said: "Your Majesty, the sailing speed of this ship has exceeded that of a warship that relies solely on wind power. ”

"Well, that's not bad, so that the time from Dengju to Goryeo will be greatly reduced, and you will be able to have an advantage in naval battles."

Xiao Ming said that the speed of this ship is expressed in knots, one section represents 1.852 kilometers, eleven knots is 20.372 kilometers, and the speed is basically 20 kilometers per hour.

Compared with steamships, sail warships are very dependent on wind speed, three or four knots are the norm when the wind is small, and eleven or twelve knots can run when the wind is strong.

But in general, there is no stability of steamships, which is why sailboats were quickly eliminated after steamships came out.

After all, if you encounter a calm day, this kind of warship meets at sea, and the sail battleship will be abused in a rhythm.

With an excited look, he continued: "If this battleship is successfully transformed, you will focus on transforming the battleship this year. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang responded, and then he said: "But this still depends on Lin Wentao being able to provide enough steam engines." ”

Lin Wentao immediately showed a bitter gourd face, "Now everyone who sees me asks me for a steam engine, the emperor, the lower officials are bitter now." ”

As soon as his words fell, the three of them laughed in unison, and Xiao Ming said: "I was about to go to you to talk about this, now you can hand over the steam engine to your subordinates, and now your most important thing is to continue to develop a new type of steam engine." ”
