The successful test flight of the airship gave Li Chen great comfort, Daqin was not without food, Daqin had a lot of food. What makes people difficult is transportation, and now the land of the Nine Counties is full of bandits, bandits, and rebels, and it is really difficult to transport food to the disaster area. But now that I have airships, and I've been in the sky, what can you rebels do now?

"Big bull, in seven days, a hundred airships can be made?" Li Chen asked Da Niu.

"Master Hou, you didn't drink the bar."

"We people can make more than three ships at most in seven days." Da Niu estimated and said.

Although there were no technical difficulties with this improvised airship, it took five days to complete the first airship, from theory to design drawings to manufacturing. Now although everyone has experience, the workload is here, and the three ships in seven days are already full.

Li Chen realized that Da Niu didn't understand what he meant, so he opened his mouth to explain: "I have transferred all the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, and all the craftsmen in Xianyang City have also been recruited. ”

Now transporting grain is a top priority, and the premise of transporting grain is the number of airships. In the face of national interests, any personal gains and losses are insignificant.

"Master Hou, a hundred airships need at least more than 10,000 cowhides. I'm afraid the materials are .......," Da Niu said worriedly.

The Ministry of Industry and the private sector can recruit at least a few thousand craftsmen, and the manpower is solved, so the material is also a big problem. More than 10,000 cowhides, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find these even if Daqin's inventory is exhausted.

"Master Hou, although sheepskin and horse skin are not as long as cowhide, they should not be a big problem in a short period of time." Da Niu thought for a while and said.

"I'll solve the materials and people, go back and have a good rest, and I'll have to work hard starting tomorrow." Li Chen patted Da Niu on the shoulder and said.

At this time, it was already dark, and Li Chen rushed towards the palace overnight.

"Master Hou, it's not appropriate to enter the palace at this time."

As soon as Li Chen arrived at the gate of the palace, he stopped Feng Zheng. This kid is the same as his father Feng Quji, and he is not likeable.

"Go and report to Your Majesty, I have something important." Li Chen said straight to the point.

Feng Zai is in charge of the garrison of the palace today, and stopping Li Chen just wants to disgust Li Chen, if you really stop him from going to see the first emperor, Feng Zai will not dare.

Sure enough, the guards who went to report a while later came with the news that the first emperor was having dinner and Xuan Li Chen was dining together.

"It's so late, come to me for something."

The First Emperor was having a meal, along with Yingyue and Fusu.

"The minister has solved the problem of transporting grain, and he has come to ask for a few holy decrees." Li Chen said.

"Well, let's eat first." The First Emperor motioned for Li Chen to sit down.

Li Chen picked a position opposite Yingyue and sat down, of course, it was definitely not to see the girl, mainly because he had an appetite for eating in this position. Ying Yue seems to have just taken a bath, and the whole person has not been powdered, which is quite beautiful.

"The food in the palace is better than that of your Li Jiazhuang." The First Emperor asked.

"It's so white."

"Oh, no, this dish is so beautiful." Li Chen blurted out.

"Get out." The First Emperor instantly felt that he had lost his appetite, and this kid was even beating his daughter's attention when he was eating.

"Your Majesty, I have already researched the flying machine. There is a shortage of craftsmen and materials. I need the support of the household department in terms of materials, and I want all the craftsmen in the whole Xianyang City. After drinking and eating, Li Chen said.

"Can you really fly?" The First Emperor confirmed.

"Not only can it fly, each airship can carry ten tons, except for the necessary personnel, at least nine tons of food, as long as more than 100 airships can solve the food problem in the disaster area." Li Chen said.

"Fusu, bring me my sword." After listening to Li Chen's words, the First Emperor said to Fusu.

Fusu took out a simple sword, this is the sword of the King of Qin, the sword of the princes of the past dynasties, and now it is also the sword of the first emperor, which is also a symbol of the power of Great Qin.

"This sword will be used for you first." The First Emperor handed the sword in his hand to Li Chen.

"What's so embarrassing about that." Li Chen said and quickly took the sword in the first emperor's hand.

This sword is better than any holy decree, seeing that the sword is like a sword man, this sword is better than any holy decree, with this sword Li Chen is the crab of Daqin, and he can walk sideways. With this sword, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, no matter what party or faction, had to cooperate with Li Chen. If you dare to disobey the yang and the yin, you will be beheaded and beheaded in vain.

Li Chen, who took the sword of King Qin, was driven out by the First Emperor not long after. Li Chen felt that the First Emperor must be sleepy and wanted to sleep. It was definitely not because of his thief eyes that he always aimed at Ying Yue's body that he drove him out, well, it must be so.

"Master Hou, what good things did you get when you entered the palace in the middle of the night?"

Li Chen was holding the Qin Wang Sword, and while walking, he was smiling hehehe, when he heard Feng Zheng's voice that affected people's happy mood.

"Feng Zheng, look what this thing is." Li Chen shouted and raised the Qin King Sword in his hand.

"Wow."

"See Your Majesty."

Seeing that it was King Qin's sword, Feng Zheng immediately knelt down with the guards. This sword represents the presence of Ru I in person, and seeing this sword is like seeing the first emperor.

Li Chen raised his sword

Feng Zai knelt

Li Chen was raising his sword

The Feng family is kneeling

Li Chen also raised his sword

Feng Zheng also knelt

Li Chen raised his sword again

Feng Zheng had to kneel again

......

After dozens of rounds of teasing Feng Zao, Li Chen seemed to feel some soreness in his arm, so he put away his sword, ignored Feng Zai and the others, and walked towards the outside of the palace.

"Head, this kid is really underwhelmed."

"I want to beat him up." A few guards who knelt with Feng Zao for dozens of rounds said, Damn, my knees hurt now.

"Who isn't." Feng Zheng is also itchy at the root of his teeth.

The next day, the head of the household

"Master Hou, there are only 3,000 cowhides in the household department, and they are really gone in more places, so these are still kept for the Ministry of Industry to make ordnance." In the warehouse of the household department, Wang Qi said to Li Chen.

There are not many places where Daqin can use cowhide, it is nothing more than when he makes some snare drums and rushes, he will cover it with a layer of cowhide. And Daqin has not fought a siege war for many years now, so he naturally doesn't pay much attention to the storage of cowhides.

After asking the household department to send all the cowhides in stock to Lijiazhuang, Li Chen walked towards the Ministry of Industry again. Qin Wangjian was in hand, and for Li Chen's request that the household department suspend all the projects in hand and transfer all the craftsmen to Lijiazhuang, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu did not dare to have any opinions and could only do so.

Sure enough, the right is really a good thing, and with Qin Wangjian in hand, everything has gone smoothly.

The east is not bright and the west is bright, thanks to the Daqin Commercial Committee established by Li Chen some time ago, although the stock of cattle hides in the household department is seriously insufficient, these merchants have hoarded a lot of sheepskins in their hands. Although sheepskin is a bit light and thin compared to cowhide, it can be regarded as a temporary solution to the urgent need.

The problem of materials was solved, and a large number of craftsmen were recruited from Xianyang City. Outside Lijiazhuang, an industrial *** in full swing began, in order to prevent the leakage of the manufacturing method of the airship. The entire manufacturing process adopts an assembly line manufacturing method, and each person is only responsible for manufacturing one part, and finally the craftsmen of Lijiazhuang are responsible for assembling.

The First Emperor has been here a few times these days, and looking at the lively scene in front of him, the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law seems to be much more harmonious.
