Chapter 464: Notice
After coming out of the palace, Zhao Yin walked directly to the shipyard.
Shipbuilding requires a large number of craftsmen, and these are not available to the merchants, so the final ownership of shipbuilding is still the imperial court.
It won't be long before the whole world will be embraced by Datang, and all that is needed now is time.
"Master Pony, are you wrong about this drawing?"
At this moment, craftsman Liu Cheng quickly came to Zhao Yin's side with a drawing, with an incredible expression.
"That's right, according to the structure on this drawing, just make it directly!"
How could it be wrong to draw something by himself, so Zhao Yin didn't even look at it.
"But, the material on this one is steel, don't you mean it!"
The voice of the craftsman has changed, how high the weight of iron is, how can the buoyancy of water do this.
"It's still the same sentence, just do it!"
Zhao Yin was a little impatient.
Do you have to popularize the physical knowledge for the drawings you make yourself?
"Master Pony, it's not that I don't do it, but the current shipyard can't do it!"
The craftsman's face was bitter.
It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but the current shipyards simply don't have such technology, they have always used wood to build ships, and they have never thought of replacing it with steel.
"When the time comes, this horse will send someone to assist you in completing the large frame structure of the steamer, this is a steamer, the power performance, you don't need to think about it for the time being."
Zhao Yin understood his current predicament, but with a steam engine in hand, and a few more forging presses, it would not be a problem at all.
"Steam engine?"
The craftsman looked dazed, he had never heard of such a thing.
"In a moment, you will see what a steam engine is, and you will understand why this horse made a ship out of steel!"
Zhao Yin believed that if they saw the power of the steam engine, they would understand why he had to use steel to build ships.
Because no matter how tough the wood is, it can't withstand the power of the steam engine!
It wasn't until the craftsmen witnessed the steam engine that they had to throw themselves into the five bodies that they admired the horses, how did they do such a fantastical idea?
And they gradually understood that the steamship was what the colt wanted to study, and this so-called sailing ship was just the first thing to deal with at the moment!
When the craftsmen returned to the shipyard again, no one doubted the horses, and they all went back to their own posts.
Especially Li Er, he is particularly concerned about the affairs of the shipyard, especially those remodeled flat-bottomed boats!
Of course, he only cares about the number of these ships sold, and he also pays special attention to the return of overseas affairs.
According to Zhao Yin, the truly rich place is the unknown deep sea, and the land on the other side of the ocean is absolutely incomparable to the Tang Dynasty.
"When will a steamship be built?"
When he proposed to build a ship, Zhao Yin also drew a map by the way, which couldn't help but arouse Li Er's curiosity, he didn't expect that the entire Tang Dynasty was just a corner compared to the ocean.
The ocean and the continent on the other side of the ocean are truly vast, filling people with infinite reverie.
"This is a big project, I can't rush it, there is only one way to improve the speed, and that is to recruit craftsmen in the entire Datang, and only when there are more people can there be great power!"
Especially in Chang'an, it is not suitable for shipbuilding, so there are very few people who really know how to build shipbuilding.
This had already been calculated in his heart, and he also set his sights on Jiangnan and Laizhou, Shandong, both of which are coastal cities.
It also has its own shipyard, and the craftsmen here must surpass the craftsmen of Chang'an in terms of technology, and the development there is far higher than that of Chang'an.
However, it was impossible for him to focus his energy on shipbuilding alone, so he did not suggest that Li Er build shipyards in these two places.
There are also two crucial factors in this, one is because of the distance, management and inconvenience.
The other is that once something happens over there, he can't be the first to know!
When he knows, he will rush over again, I'm afraid it will be too late.
"Then issue a notice and gather all the craftsmen from all over the world to Chang'an."
Li Er made a direct decision, because the appearance of the steamship also made him a lot more ambitious.
Datang's current annual income gives Li Er a lot of confidence, and the Wa Kingdom is rich in gold and silver, and after the current research on the steamship, the first thing to do is to destroy the Wa State, and at that time, the gold and silver spent now will be filled again.
"In one year's time, next year we must send troops to crusade against the Japanese state!"
The times are advancing, science is developing, Li Er's vision has also risen, and the products in Datang can no longer satisfy his vanity.
Even if he can now be called the first emperor of the ages, he is still not satisfied, he very much agrees with Zhao Yin's words, that is, "All the places covered by the sun and the moon are the territory of his Tang Dynasty." ”
So he wants to use the rest of his life to make this sentence a reality as much as possible, especially this map tells him that he is not the only one in this world.
"Next year? I'm afraid this will not work, even if the steamship is on a large scale, but it is not allowed to go out in season! ”
He is an angry young man, and it is understandable that he wants to destroy the Japanese state, but he never expected that Li Er's desire to destroy the Japanese country is more urgent than him.
"Then we will discuss it later, and when the time is right, I will personally go to the Wa Kingdom!"
Zhao Yin's explanation made Li Er frown, but he didn't insist, and he acquiesced to Zhao Yin's words.
"Good! When the time is ripe, my son-in-law will go with you, and he will definitely sweep through the entire Western countries and expand the territory of my Datang again. ”
Li Er's idea, Zhao Yin could easily guess, so for such a proposal, he naturally would not refuse.
"Your Majesty, that son-in-law will pass the order now, let the people below make an announcement, as long as they are craftsmen with experience in shipbuilding, if they go to Chang'an to report, they will enjoy priority treatment, and double the original basis, what do you think?"
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly took advantage of this time to speak.
His Majesty's will has been almost figured out, and the next step is to implement it.
"That's right."
Li Er didn't hesitate.
The craftsmen belong to the lowest level of personnel and have no status at all, except for the craftsmen of Chang'an, of course, because of the appearance of Zhao Yin, their identity has been completely improved.
Even some craftsmen with outstanding craftsmanship have no worse status in Chang'an than those dignitaries, so as soon as such a notice comes out, it is not a good thing for craftsmen in the world.
"Virtuous nephew! Look at shipbuilding this...... Do I need to take a stake? ”
After receiving the order, the eldest grandson Wuji once again set his eyes on Zhao Yin's body and asked softly.
Fortunately, there are few people here now, so it is more convenient for him to ask, and at least he can get a priority.
"That depends on how many craftsmen can come to Chang'an City this time, and it can't be decided for the time being, whether you can get shares depends on whether this notice can attract craftsmen from other places."
