Tang Yi didn't know that now Kaifeng from top to bottom was blown up because of the agreement he reached with the Liao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info also has a special welcome ceremony waiting for him, which suits his appetite.

――――――

At this time, he had stopped in Dengzhou for many days and was not in a hurry to return to Beijing.

On the one hand, it is to let Old Man Wu slow down, and then he will take the land route back to Beijing, which is not as easy as taking a boat.

On the other hand, it was Tang Yi who took the opportunity to come out and do something "personal".

Wu Yu rested in the Dengzhou Pavilion for two days, and saw Tang Yi running out every day, and he couldn't see anyone in the morning or evening, so he was also curious. In fact, the more he got to know Tang Yi, the more curious Old Man Wu became about this young man.

How many secrets does he have? How many things have you done for Da Song? Perhaps, only the official family can know all about it, right?

Tang Yi is going out again today, Wu Yu is uncomfortable, so he has to follow.

Tang Yi thought about it and didn't have anything, so he let Wu Yu go along.

However, what Wu Yu didn't expect was that Tang Yi brought him to the Navy Construction Department under the Ministry of War.

What I didn't expect was that the yamen of the construction department became Tang Yi's private property at some point, and the current naval construction department is called "Guanlan Shipbuilding Superintendent......

"When, when did this happen?"

Wu Yu looked at the busy and huge shipyard by the sea, and his face was shocked. At this time, there are at least a dozen huge ships under construction in the shipyard.

How did such a big construction division get into Tang Yi's hands?

"This is the public property of the Ministry of War, even if it is privately owned, it will have to be decided by the court, why has the old man never had an impression?"

Tang Yi grinned, "Don't think I'm taking advantage of the imperial court, this shipyard has been in my hands for four or five years." ”

"Four or five years!?" Wu Yu was even more confused. "So long?"

Tang Yi explained: "In the eighth year of Qingli, the imperial court owed Guanlan Shipping millions of yuan in silver, plus tens of millions of stone of relief grain. Later, Wen Papi played a trick and forced the original Dengzhou and Haizhou Navy Construction Divisions to pay off the arrears. ”

Raising his hand and pointing to the entire shipyard, "When I first took over, it was not so prosperous, only one-fifth of the current scale, and at most it could ensure that three sea ships were built at the same time, and the number of shipwrights was only a thousand." ”

Back then, the two broken shipyards were not even worth 500,000 yuan, and they just let Wen Papi pay off all the debts, and Tang Yi feels painful when he thinks about it now.

"And now?" Wu Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Now?" Tang Yi showed a smug look. "Shan Dengzhou Shipyard is 12,000 skilled workers, and there are thirteen second-class merchant ships under construction."

"Haizhou is even larger than this, with 20,000 shipwrights, 11 second-class merchant ships under construction, and three giant ships with a length of more than 60 zhang."

"Sixty feet!?" Wu Yu secretly spoke.

The one they took to Da Liao belonged to the second-class merchant ship that Tang Yi said, with a length of thirty zhang. In Old Man Wu's view, it was already the pinnacle of the shipbuilding level of the Great Song Dynasty.

Sixty zhang? It's twice as big.

"You, what are you doing with such a big ship?"

Second-class merchant ships can only take the Yangtze River waterway, and tributaries such as the Bianhe River and the Hanshui River cannot enter. No matter how big it is, it can't even enter the Yangtze River, so you can only run along the coast. From the perspective of Old Wu Tou'er, it is pure waste.

No, Tang Yi rolled his eyes and pointed to the boundless blue in front of him, "Use it to conquer the sea!" ”

"Conquer the sea?!" Wu Yu didn't understand what Tang Yi said.

"Within the four seas, only my emperor and Song are the land of indoctrination, and the barbarians in the sea are barbaric, what is the use of submission?"

Tang Yi chuckled and shook his head, and said in his heart, even if you explain it, you may not necessarily agree, and finally only said one sentence, "I want to move the wealth of the world back to the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

After speaking, he stopped talking to Wu Yuduo and strode into the shipyard.

Wu Yu really didn't understand it too much, but he felt that the head of this Tang madman was very understandable. Seeing that he was moving, he had to hurry to follow, but to see what was in the shipyard.

It's just that I didn't expect that when I entered inside, they were greeted by another figure that Wu Yu didn't expect, Wang Deyong's fourth son, Wang Xianying.

This is the deputy envoy of the imperial court supply treasury, and an important official of the military department and military logistics. Why did he run to Tang Zihao's shipyard, and he seemed to be quite familiar.

Well, it's not a matter of familiarity, but it's simply him who is in charge here. Because Tang Yi visited and inspected all the way, it was all explained and introduced by this Wang Xianying.

Wu Yu felt that there must be some secret in this, maybe it was something shady between the official family and Tang Yi. Listen attentively to what these two people say, and see if you can learn a little bit of Tang Zihao's secret.

"I didn't expect you to come back from Da Liao so quickly, fortunately a certain morning came a few days ago, otherwise Da Lang would have to wait in Dengzhou for a few days."

"What's going on over there in Haizhou?"

"It's not very smooth, what kind of splicing keel method you mentioned, more than a dozen old shipwrights have been tinkering for two or three years, and they still haven't come up with it, and they can only build fifty or sixty zhang boats at present."

"Let's study it slowly......" Tang Yi sighed. I've only heard about this method of attaching a keel from a book, and I don't know exactly how to make it. ”

Wu Yuxin said, the fourth child of the Wang family is specially for Tang Yiguan Shipyard?

......

"How's the route going?"

"Our exploration fleet has already touched Dongying to the north, but at your command, we haven't gone north. The sailors were stationed there for a year, and as you said, the currents and winds in the waters east of Dongying were directed to the depths of the ocean. ”

"Further south, I found the overseas archipelago, but it wasn't called Luzon. It's not even a country at all, except for the somewhat bare-ass indigenous savages. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xianying looked excited, "However, there are indeed a large number of copper mines there, and giant trees are everywhere!" ”

Tang Yi nodded, he didn't know much about the history of Southeast Asia like a falcon socketed keel. It turns out that the Philippine Islands do not have a country now, but it saves a lot of trouble.

"Well, let's leave it at that. He also instructed the fleet not to go to sea again, and to wait for two years. ”

"Why?" Wang Xianying obviously couldn't figure it out.

Among other things, the copper mines in the southern islands alone are definitely worth sending people to mine immediately.

Tang Yi smiled bitterly: "I also want to occupy that island now, but we don't have money now, so we can't operate." ”

Wang Xianying nodded helplessly, her face full of regret.

"Then let's put it first, and then get it next day!"

......

Wu Yu frowned when he heard it on the side, he was not interested in Tang Yi's exploration of overseas, mainly because ......

Taking advantage of the time when Wang Xianying and Tang Yi were talking, Old Man Wu asked Tang Yi curiously, "Is Da Lang very short of money?" ”

This is the most difficult thing for him to understand, Tang Zihao is short of money? It's a big joke to say, who doesn't know that this kid is poor and has money left.

No, Tang Yi showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "No one will believe it, right?" However, you have to believe it if you don't believe it, the kid is really short of money now! ”
