Chapter 463: Reform

Once the ship reform is successful, then Datang can reach across the ocean to explore those uncharted territories.

In the past, ships were not suitable for long-distance travel, so Datang has always been at a disadvantage in water combat, and even for those enemies who came from overseas, they could only remain vigilant and passively defensive.

Well, now, once the Spire is developed, they will not be afraid of any enemy on the sea, and they will even be able to take the initiative.

Just to test whether the bottom of the pointed bottom can float on the water, so the craftsmen did not make sails, but now I heard that the sails also have such a function, and they rushed over to help, and even divided labor, and each person was responsible for a small part.

After a few more hours, the sail was finally made, although it was only a model, but the size of the sail was made according to strict requirements.

Wang Dongcheng, the king of the water department, carefully lowered the pointed bottom boat with the sails into the river and put it in a headwind position.

All the craftsmen held their breath, their punt would be very bad if it encountered a headwind, not only would it cost a lot of manpower, but the ship might even go backwards.

"Gone, really moving forward!"

In the face of headwinds, the boat can still break the waves, and all the craftsmen can't help but cheer.

In the past, the ships, in the voyage, could only continue to pray for God's mercy, not to encounter bad weather, but now well, just with a few sails, the problem has been completely solved, this is simply a miracle.

"Master Ma is not a man, he is a god, an omnipotent god."

All the craftsmen couldn't help but admire, the original doubts were once again ruthlessly crushed by the facts, although such a version has been staged countless times, but each time it is still so shocking.

"I'm afraid I'll never make a punt again!"

Many craftsmen couldn't help but sigh.

The emergence of the sharp-bottomed boat directly broke the previous convention.

"And what about the flat-bottomed boats that we've already started building in our shipyard?"

Since the culet boat is viable, the flat-bottomed boat should be eliminated, but they really don't want to waste what has already been started.

But now it is obvious that the flat-bottomed boat will inevitably withdraw from the stage of history, which is too embarrassing, if all these semi-finished products are abandoned, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.

"No way, report it tomorrow!"

Wang Dongcheng shook his head and sighed.

I also secretly blame this group of guys in my heart, I can't say it earlier, I have to wait until His Majesty leaves, and I will be scolded tomorrow if I don't do it well.

……

"What do you say? The shipyard still has a lot of semi-finished products? ”

In the early dynasty, after listening to the report, Li Er stood up directly on the dragon chair.

This news is definitely a very worrying news for him, if it is directly invalidated, then all the previous expenses will be wasted.

If he continued to produce, the ships produced would still be obsolete products, which made him very annoyed.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the colt about such a thing, maybe he has a different opinion?"

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly spoke.

"Pass the horses."

Li Er directly ordered Wang De on the side.

Although he knew that Zhao Guogong was diverting his attention, he would still accept it, because Zhao Yin had always been helping him solve such troubles.

"See Your Majesty!"

When he came to the imperial study, Zhao Yin bowed to Li Er helplessly.

He was originally idle, but at this time he was teasing the Wu sisters at home, but he didn't expect that when he was rising, he was called here, and if he could be comfortable, he would see the hell.

"You kid is here, I'm waiting for you!"

After seeing Zhao Yin, Li Er immediately laughed.

"What's troublesome about Your Majesty?"

As long as this old man has such a face, he must encounter something that can't be solved, otherwise he will never think of himself.

"That's right, the sailboat you developed is indeed relatively advanced for Datang, but the shipyard still has a lot of semi-finished products, should they be built or abandoned?"

Li Er said with a sad face.

To put it bluntly, he is feeling sorry for the silver he has invested, and once he says that he will not continue to make it, then the money will be lost.

"These flat-bottomed boats will inevitably not be able to be made into warships, and even if they are made, they will not be able to escape the end of elimination!"

Zhao Yin spoke slowly.

Can't figure out such a simple thing? Do you have to call him?

"We also know this, but if we discard these semi-finished products now, then the initial investment will be wasted, which is not a small amount."

Dai Xuan hurriedly spoke.

Secretly slandered in my heart, this loser's thing, so much money, just throw it away?

"Dai Shangshu misunderstood, this horse just said that this thing is not suitable for warships, but did not say that they will be thrown away, since the construction has already started, then simply finish this last batch of flat-bottomed boats."

"Although it can't be used as warships, it should be no problem to sell these new ships to merchants as cargo ships."

"Moreover, not only should we sell the newly built boats, but also all the flat-bottomed boats that were built in the past, so that at least some of the silver can be recovered, and we will not lose a lot of money."

Zhao Yin spoke slowly, the problem is easy to solve, I really don't know what these guys' heads are thinking about every day.

"Yes, that's a good idea."

Regarding Zhao Yin's proposal, Li Erna raised his hands in agreement.

Once you sell those boats, you won't lose money, and maybe you can make a small profit.

"Even if they are sold, these ships will not be sold out in a day or two!"

Dai Xuan said in embarrassment.

Although I have to admit that the advice of the colt is good, the shipyard still has a lot of good boats, and this is not a day or two to sell out.

Once the punts are now finished, the pins will be made, and the remaining punts will never be sold again!

"If I modified the sail technology on these old boats and let them go against the wind, would you think these old boats would sell for a good price?"

Zhao Yin smiled, "You know, businessmen act for profit, time is money, once these ships can sail against the wind, how much time will be saved?" ”

This requires advertising benefits, as long as the benefits of these ships are spread, are you afraid that they will not be sold?

"That's right, I'll leave this matter to you!"

Li Ervery was overjoyed after hearing this suggestion.

In this way, not only do you not have to lose money, but you can also make a lot of money!
