The timing of Liu Pei's appearance was very good, because after a while, the first real battleship would be launched for sea trials. This battleship belongs to the fifth class of cruisers according to the class. As for the classification system of the fleet, it was supposed to appear in Britain more than a hundred years later, but it was unceremoniously taken by Liu Pei, and it was the ultimate version.

Just like the British and Spanish wars, the artillery of both sides fired countless shells every day, and as a result, they lost a lot of money. Even after a day of fighting, the shells and gunpowder ran out, and the fleets of both sides had to stop fighting to replenish ammunition with little losses. It can be seen that at this time, the hit rate and lethality of artillery were quite low.

When Liu Pei finished the preparation for ploughing, it was time for the new ship to be launched. This time the people at the shipyard arranged a grand launching ceremony. After Liu Pei had incense, the boat was towed into the sea amid the noisy sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers.

Liu Pei has already agreed with the masters. The next batch of ships to be built will be fourth-class cruisers and armed merchant ships of the same class. And it's built with all its might. As for higher-level warships and merchant ships, they were built slowly by only a few master craftsmen. Because the fourth-class cruiser can meet Liu Pei's needs at present, no matter how big the ship is, it can't be used at present. Let the masters slowly build for technical exploration and accumulation. When Liu Peihou's strength increased and higher-level warships were needed, the masters also completed technical exploration, and they could be manufactured in batches.

The gap was seen in training.

After eight days of sea trials, the instructors, led by Jack, gave the sailors a satisfactory review. But Instructor Jack also said, "You are indeed qualified sailors!" But it's just qualified. After you've been through storms at sea, you're a real bunch of sailors. ”

The most important thing is that Liu Pei is not short of tenants! A large number of Liao people came across the sea, and after fifteen days of quarantine and recuperation, they were able to work immediately. Among them, those who have a skill are absorbed by various workshops; Some of them joined the family. The rest of the people are all 100 times more invested in clearing the wasteland.

In the afternoon of this day, Liu Pei's Xintianzhuang canal was repaired and officially opened to water, and Liu Pei went to inspect it. Now it's heading back with a pro-soldier. Suddenly, I noticed a horse-drawn carriage parked diagonally on the side of the road in front of me. On closer inspection, it turned out that the axle was broken.

The coachman threw his hand over again and again and said, "My young lady is fine." It's just that I'm afraid that I will delay the journey and miss the young lady's business. I wonder if the general can do me a favor and find a carpenter who can repair the carriage. ”

The coachman patted his leg and said, "How can the young lady not send someone to follow when she goes out?" A total of two nursing homes were dispatched. But I don't want to get sick halfway

Liu Pei then asked: "I don't know who your master is, and how to use the carriages and horses of the government?" ”

Liu Pei arched his hand to the carriage and said, "This official is Liu Pei, the official of the Thousand Households in front of Fushan." Dare to ask the young lady to reply, what the coachman said is true? ”

Liu Pei arched his hand and said, "Miss Tang Tu." ”

The cavalry rode away on two horses, and Liu Pei and the coachman were both fine, chatting a little. Liu Pei didn't have any shelf, and the coachman was a chauffeur with a fellow intellectual, he was used to seeing officials who came and went, and he was bold, and the two of them had a good chat.

While Liu Pei was chatting with the driver, he also noticed that the car curtain shook a few times. It's obvious that someone is looking outward. But Liu Pei didn't care. It's not that Liu Pei is not close to women. In the past, when Liu Pei first arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he also fantasized about meeting a talented girl and a young lady. But I later learned that this was simply impossible.

In addition, Liu Pei also learned that the ladies of the official eunuchs and gentry here are not what everyone thinks, they are idle at home, just playing the piano and drawing a picture. In fact, they have a very heavy academic schedule. You must know that these young ladies will all be in charge of the family after they marry in the future. According to the tradition of the male head and the female lead, the operation of the whole family must be entrusted to them. How can a young lady who doesn't understand anything become a housewife of a big family? Therefore, they not only have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also how to manage housekeeping, bookkeeping, how to manage servants, people and so on. The reason why the housewives of large families invite their mothers after giving birth is because they are busy managing a large family, how can they have time to take care of the baby!
