Huyan Leon said, "My lord, please come with the lower officials and inspect the dock." Here is also called Baochuan Beach, there are eight docks arranged in parallel from south to north, each dock is twenty zhang wide, the length is more than one mile, the water in the dock will be emptied when shipbuilding, after the sea ship is built, only need to start the stone sluice, the Longjiang water is introduced, with the help of hydraulic power, enter the Longjiang River downstream, and then enter the Yangtze River! ”

Zhu Jie nodded while looking at it, the dock here can be said to be the world's first-class dock in this era, whether it is Portugal or the Netherlands, it is difficult to see such a huge dock, but it is abandoned, it is really a pity, it must be repaired in the shortest possible time!

After inspecting the entire treasure shipyard, Zhu Jie was still unsatisfied, but Tong Tinghan on the side was complaining, this Longjiang shipyard was more than two miles in radius, which was seen in one of the places one by one, and the two legs were thinner......

"Lord Zhu, it's almost, we haven't even spared an inch of land......

Tong Tinghan smiled bitterly.

Zhu Jie nodded, made it on a boat, and said with a smile: "Lord Tong has worked hard, come and sit down and rest for a while, Lord Huyan, you can tell me about the current situation on the Longjiang chartered boat, how many craftsmen are there now, if you build Zheng He's treasure ship now, will you still be able to build it?" What technologies have been lost, is it lost in Longjiang Shipyard, or is there no one in the entire Ming Dynasty? ”

Hu Yanlei said in a deep voice: "My lord, in the heyday of the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, there were more than 500 craftsmen in the compilation alone, which were compiled into four compartments and forty armors, in addition, there were also internal officials and craftsmen, imperial horse supervisors, watchmen, changfu, bridge husbands and other personnel, the number of more than 3,000 people, however, after Emperor Taizu, the imperial court implemented a sea ban, and the opportunity to build Haichuan became less and less, and in recent years, due to some reasons, the loss of craftsmen in the treasure shipyard has been serious, and now there are less than 2,000 people......

There are less than two thousand people, the corners of Zhu Jie's mouth twitched fiercely, that is to say, the current treasure shipyard, in terms of the most basic craftsmen alone, has shrunk by more than one-third, and the vitality is greatly damaged!

Hu Yanlei continued: "As for these equipment and facilities, you have also seen that even the dock is about to be abandoned, and it is not necessary to make any rectification, but I am afraid that even medium-sized sea ships will not be able to be built, and the dock will be abandoned. ”

Zhu Jie's face was grim, he nodded slightly, and asked, "What about the technology of building sea ships, especially warships?" ”

Hu Yanlei smiled bitterly: "First, don't think about the kind of large treasure ships of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, the information of those treasure ships has been destroyed, and even if there are any remains, there are not many left, but they are rare; Second, if it is a large ship of 3,000 materials, I think there will still be a way to build it in a year or two, and it will also need to draw craftsmen from other shipyards; Third, build warships, the current warships are not the same as the original warships, the treasure ships and warships of the Three Treasure Eunuchs back then, the firearms are insufficient, although there are a lot of equipment, but the power is not enough, a few years ago in the Battle of Liuluo Bay, it is obvious that the power of our firearms is no longer comparable to the red-haired devils, especially the artillery, rate of fire, range, power, are already at a disadvantage, what's worse is that our ships are not as big as others, two hundred years, only two hundred years, two hundred years, three treasure eunuchs across the sea border of 20,000 miles, I have never met an opponent, whether it is on the sea or on land, invincible, but now, I have been beaten to the door by the red-haired devils, and I have been bullied by the Japanese slaves of Fusang......"

"******, who is going to destroy these seagoing vessel materials? The son of the dog is a loser, this is a hundred years, how many excellent craftsmen have accumulated experience and technology, and once lost! How many years will it take to make up for this special thing! ”

Zhu Jie was so angry that he scolded his grandmother, Lao Tzu didn't care who he was, he owed a scolding, Lao Tzu had already crossed two hundred years, and he would definitely pinch this culprit to explode!

"My lord, in fact, those materials were not destroyed, but were hidden......"

On the side, an old scribe suddenly said.

"Liu Zhi, what did you say? Hidden? This is not unfounded nonsense! ”

Hu Yanlei was shocked and hurriedly shouted.

The scribe hurriedly replied: "Lord Ministry, this will never be wrong, the ancestor of the villain, was a scholar next to Liu Daxia, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, when Emperor Xianzong wanted to restore the West, asked for information, Lord Liu Daxia and others were all opposed, in order to make Emperor Xianzong die, Lord Liu Daxia hid all the materials in the West, and lied that he had destroyed them all, and finally cut off Emperor Xianzong's thoughts. However, these materials were destroyed by the soldiers, but put them into the Wenyuan Pavilion and mixed with the Yongle Grand Canon. It's just that later, this matter was blocked very strictly, and most of them have been destroyed and scattered, when the ancestors were serving Liu Daxia, they once heard Liu Daxia inadvertently mention it, and they deliberately wrote it down, and it was passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, and it was never wrong! ”

Huyan Lei Dengshi was overjoyed, and laughed: "Haha, Liu Zhi, why didn't you say it earlier, this is a great joy of opinion, with these materials, we want to build a ship, we can start it at any time, as long as there are drawings, it is not difficult to build these treasure ships at all!" ”

Liu Zhi shook his head and replied, "Lord Huyan, have you forgotten that in the past two hundred years, how many people have opposed going to the West?" If this matter had been leaked out, I am afraid that the information on these treasure ships and Western shipping routes would have been lost or destroyed long ago! Today, if it weren't for the fact that Zhen Guogong was like this, the villain would never say it! ”

Yes, just now, Zhu Jie's statement completely conquered Liu Zhi, 40,000 taels of silver, if the court can't get it, he will pay out of his own pocket and repair the dock! This is a hero who is bent on reviving the Daming Navy Division and reviving the authority of the Ming Sea in the world! This kind of spirit, this kind of will, can not be found, if you miss it, you will never meet it again!

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Jie laughed and said, "Okay, good!" Today is really worth the trip, it's worth the trip! Come on, Liu Zhijin has meritorious words, and he will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver! Remember, one or two can't be missing! ”

One thousand taels!

Even Liu Zhi was taken aback, and snorted: "Adult, the villain is ashamed!" ”

"Haha, don't say a mere 1,000 taels of silver, even if it's 100,000 taels of silver in exchange for these materials, the governor will not hesitate! Liu Zhi, you have made a great contribution! ”
