Chapter 508: Let's Go to Sea
"Is there such a statement?"
Dai Guan's cold sweat suddenly fell, fortunately he came to inquire in person, otherwise, he would have committed a heinous crime.
At the moment, these things are circled again, and they are treated as key objects!
As for the purpose of this Nanyang, Dai Zhou also gave a task to those admirals, although they all knew little about the so-called spices, but they also readily agreed.
There is only one reason, this so-called spice can offset military spending, and even if it is transported too much, it will be rewarded.
After everything was arranged, Zhao Yin went to the prison again, because he almost forgot something very important.
It would be a terrible thing to lose your way in the sea!
Fortunately, Sinan is the predecessor of the compass, so it didn't take too much effort to ask the craftsmen to make the compass.
"What is this?"
Looking at the delicate compass handed over by Zhao Yin, Dai Xuan was very puzzled, and his eyes fell on it without blinking.
"Compass and map, without this, you can't tell your way on the sea!"
After a brief explanation, Zhao Yin began to explain to the soldiers how to use the compass and precautions.
"The old man plans to go to sea this time, send a few officials from the household department to go together, and let them go out to see and see!"
Just as Zhao Yin finished speaking and was about to leave, Dai Xuan hurriedly spoke.
"Whatever!"
In this regard, Zhao Yin was speechless, this thing's eyes are extremely small, is this sending someone to monitor these soldiers?
Five days later, the brothers of the Cheng family and the Wei Chi family finally rushed back.
It's just that after they went to the military department to report, Cheng Yanjin directly took his son to kill the horse mansion.
"Virtuous nephew, these two rabbit cubs are back, can you arrange a position?"
Cheng Yanjin was not polite, walked in with a big grin, and then sat opposite Zhao Yin.
"Then follow the Zhenguan! Anyway, they are still familiar with artillery! ”
This time, there will not be too many twists and turns in Nanyang's trip, so as long as it is not a caravan, they will be arranged anywhere.
"That's fine, then I'll take them back to prepare first!"
After hearing this arrangement, Cheng Yanjin suddenly grinned.
"Brother Yin, we're here."
Not long after Cheng Yanjin and the others left, the two brothers Wei Chi also came to visit.
"Huh? Why did you come back? ”
Zhao Yin was a little confused, didn't these two goods go out with the army? How can it appear in front of yourself?
"Not what my old man meant? I heard that the two brothers of the Cheng family came back, obviously knowing that good things were happening here, and this is not in the name of escorting them, let us also come back, Brother Yin, what do you think of this ......? ”
Yu Chi Baolin said with some embarrassment, as for the letter written by his Lao Tzu, on the way back, the two brothers had already read it, and they really couldn't show it to Zhao Yin.
"The Datang Navy Division has now been renamed the Navy, in order to train them, I recently plan to go to Nanyang for actual combat exercises, Lu Guogong asked his two sons to come back, which is to participate in this mission, if you also want to participate, you can also go together!"
Zhao Yin understood everything when he saw them.
"Thank you, Brother Yin!"
The two brothers hurriedly thanked him.
Although they don't know what the real purpose of this trip is, they firmly believe that there are definitely many benefits in it.
"It's a trivial matter, run all the way, go back and rest, and I'll send someone to inform you when the time comes!"
Wei Chigong's face, that must also be given, anyway, the current thing is one more and more, and one less is not less, whoever wants to go, who will go.
Another seven days have passed, all the preparations are in place, and it is time to set sail!
This expedition was mainly for military training, and it was not a major decision, and Li Er actually came in person, which can be imagined that he attached great importance to this matter.
Of course, those who know the inside story understand that the real purpose of Li Er's coming here is spices, as well as to determine the number of ships, that's all.
"Everything is ready?"
After seeing the grandeur of the team this time, Li Er asked Zhao Yin.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we just have to wait for the navy to triumph."
He did everything he had to do, especially their ships, which were several times stronger than those in the South Seas, so it was only a matter of time before they triumphed.
"Good!"
With an order, Zhenguan let out a loud whistle, and then the horse took the lead and drove into the distance.
As a later generation, he naturally understands the wealth of the ocean, so he attaches great importance to the naval school.
Moreover, the whole court passed this matter by one vote, and no one objected, and at the same time, various departments were also very cooperative.
Even Dai Xuan raised his hands in approval, which surprised the ministers of the DPRK and China.
When have you ever seen this big slam and pay so much?
I almost didn't send the money to the Ministry of Industry in person!
At the same time, it also confirms that sentence.
It's easy to do things with money!
At the moment when the silver was in place, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry rushed directly to the selected land at the edge of the Wei River as fast as possible, and quickly got busy.
The efficiency of the Ministry of Industry is so fast that everyone in the court is very satisfied.
A few days later, when Zhao Yin was drinking tea comfortably in the Horse Mansion, Zhou Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, hurriedly ran in.
"Zhou Shangshu, it's really a rare guest, please sit down, how about tasting my best Longjing?"
Zhao Yin's face was happy, and he poured a cup of tea for him with his own hands, and then made a please clean up.
"Thank you, but this time the old man is here, and he has something important to report."
Zhou Lun hurriedly took the tea, and then smiled bitterly.
I'm almost tired of becoming a dog, and the horse master is good, throwing everything to him, and I'm idle at home drinking tea, why is the gap so big.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Zhao Yin looked at him with some surprise, thinking that there was something wrong with the building, so he came to ask him for advice.
"Master Horse, now the Ministry of Engineering has received more and more projects, except for the craftsmen who built the school this time, there is no one available under the Ministry of Engineering!"
Zhou Lun's face was bitter.
Once upon a time, he thought that there were too many idlers in the Ministry of Industry, but the reality played a big joke on him, which couldn't help but make him a little helpless.
"Is that true?"
Zhao Yin was a little stunned, the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry are not less than those in the prison, so many craftsmen now have work on their hands?
"This matter is true, there is not enough manpower on the prison side, and the Ministry of Industry cooperates to jointly build railways, cement roads, factories, etc., and now the Ministry of Industry is only an empty shell, so the lower officials came to ask for help from the horses!"
Zhou Lun hurriedly reported.
If the imperial court gave him a task now, he would definitely not be able to complete it, so he was very anxious now.
"This ......"
After hearing his words, Zhao Yin was speechless.
The lack of emotional manpower is because he will be a prisoner, but then again, it is all for the sake of the court, and this favor really has to help.
"I know that the master is resourceful, so the lower official came to ask you for advice."
Zhou Lun's attitude was very low, and he looked like he was humbly seeking advice.
