Li Qing passed through the boiling snowflakes and entered the dormitory.

The palace maids around hurriedly came over to help her beat the snowflakes on her body and wipe the water stains on her cheeks.

After cleaning up, Li Qing sat down on the recliner and stuffed his hands into Su Lu's body to keep warm.

"I heard you say you were going to make dumplings just now, didn't the big girl come, why don't you let people eat some delicacies from the mountains and seas, just give people dumplings."

The cotton robe was very warm, although it was snowing heavily, Su Lu's body was warm, looking at the boiling snow, Su Lu said with a smile:

"I'm talking about dumplings, but it's not this dumpling."

"On the sea to the east, the big ships of the Interns have come to provoke for a month, and we don't have a fighting ship, only some small sampans for training the navy, which are not enough for the big ships of the Interns."

"Our ships are too inferior to the Intes, and if we want to defeat the maritime supremacy of the Intens, we have to make the ships on the sea as many as the dumplings in the pot."

Li Qing glanced at Su Lu when he heard this: "Then you just say that you can build more big boats, and make dumplings, and you can think of such a metaphor." ”

"Hey, let's discuss something."

Li Qing leaned on Su Lu, his cheeks full of a flattering smile, "I'm tired of going to court these days, you go and preside over the government for me for a few days." ”

"No way"

Su Lu refused without hesitation, "The last dynasty is the emperor's business, I am a prince, and the war is okay, but the last dynasty is resolutely unsuccessful." ”

"Besides, those courtiers who were cleaned up by me were all obedient, and they didn't even have a prick, and I really couldn't stand listening to them buzzing."

Li Qing was a little disappointed when he heard this, the last court was indeed an irritable thing, he didn't think much before, since Su Lu presided over the government for him for a few months, and he had no burden on his shoulders, Li Qing didn't like the court more and more.

It's not interesting to wake up to the power of the world.

The two discussed the government for a while, and Li Qing got a lot of advice from Su Lu, so he got up and went to the palace to see his daughter.

The next day, Li Qing had just sat firmly on the throne, and Zhao Pu, the squire of the military department, went out to work.

"Your Majesty, the Wangjiang Navy Governor's Mansion has urgently reported that a ship of the Yingtes collided with a large ship of our Han Kingdom that sailed into the port of Wangjiang from an inland river, causing the hull of the big ship to be damaged in many places and almost sank outside the Wangjiang River."

"If the Taixi people are left unchecked, in the long run, there will be trouble."

Li Qing heard that he thought of Su Lu's words, he still lacked a ship in his own house, if there was a similar big ship, he would go out directly, and see if he dared to hit his own big ship.

"But there are casualties, send a message to Su Ping, if the Inter people dare to be arrogant again, don't scruples, pull out our newly built warship and fight."

Zhou Ping, the secretary of the Ministry of War, hurriedly went out of work: "Your Majesty, no, this newly built warship is the first big ship in our Han Kingdom, and there is still a gap between it and the big ship of the Interns. ”

Several generals of the General Staff Office also spoke one after another, dissuading them.

Li Qing was a little irritable, he still had few ships at home, if there were more than a dozen big ships, would he still need to detain and search like this.

"The prince is right, I still want to make dumplings."

Li Qing sighed heartily.

Under the imperial steps, a group of courtiers were a little confused, dumplings, what does the prince mean by this.

Qian Qianyi came out of class and said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, for such a big matter, I suggest asking the prince. The prince has commanded the army for many years, and he has a lot of experience in the war, this war, whether we want to fight, or to make peace, the inner proportion, is to be grasped by a military god like the prince. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and several Shangshu and the waiters seconded the proposal.

Zhou Yuan went out of class, "Your Majesty, the autumn planting in all states and counties has ended, and the grain output of all places has been summed up, Shazhou has ranked first in grain output for three million catties for three consecutive years, and the grain output of the rest of the state capitals is here." ”

Changning went down and presented the report, and after Li Qing read it, he immediately smiled, this year is another bumper harvest year, don't worry about anyone starving to death.

"Now that it is winter, heavy snow has begun to fall in various places, and the prefectures and counties have been ordered to strictly inspect and not let the people of our Han country die of cold and starvation."

Li Qing commanded, waved his hand, and motioned for Zhou Yuan to retreat.

Xiao Cong suddenly came out of the queue and asked:

"Your Majesty, the old minister is puzzled, what does the dumpling in this pot have to do with the Wangjiang Water War? But the prince of the generation of military gods will never say useless flowers, what does this dumpling mean, please make it clear to Your Majesty. ”

Li Qing smiled, it seems that it is not that he is too stupid, but that the metaphor of the prince is too vague, but if he knows, it is enough to be vivid.

"When the dumplings float in the pot, are they like big boats on the water?"

Li Qing looked at Xiao Cong with a smile.

Xiao Cong slapped his thigh, and his face was full of sudden realization.

"I see!"

"My Han Kingdom is not near the sea, and I have never attached importance to shipbuilding, if it weren't for the prince who recruited the sailors of Wenjiang, our Han Kingdom would not even have a boat that could walk on the inland river. Although when the Wangjiang Water Division was established, the prince also issued a military order to build ships, but unfortunately there were no such skilled craftsmen in our Han Kingdom. ”

"So far, I've only built a ship, and if I can really build as many ships as a pot of dumplings, I don't have to be afraid of the Inter people's ships."

"The prince is talented, this metaphorical image is appropriate."

Li Qing took the opportunity to speak:

"The Ordnance Office has mastered the construction of the warship, and now what is lacking is only proficiency, I intend to order the Ordnance Department to dispatch skilled craftsmen to carry out the construction of multiple warships at the same time, while accumulating experience, it can also speed up the formation of the Wangjiang Naval Army, what do you think?"

Dong Cheng was the first to jump out: "Your Majesty's wisdom is unparalleled, this plan is wonderful, and the minister seconded it." ”

Zhou Ping stood next to Dong Cheng without hesitation: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

This kind of behavior to increase the voice of the military department, the people of the military department naturally raised their hands in approval.

Zhou Yuan came out of the shift, glanced at everyone in the military department, and his tone was a little helpless:

"The matter of enhancing the strength of the naval army should not be objected to, but Your Majesty knows that any ship of the warship costs a lot of money, and if there is anything that can be improved in the construction, it can be improved in the next one to build a better warship."

"The minister thinks that it is better to build only one, one can be a skilled craftsman, and the other can leave an opportunity for the improvement of the next one, and the two ships are built together, and the second ship can only be exactly the same as the first, and if there are any novel ideas, they cannot be carried out."

The rest of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu came out and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, what Lord Zhou said is very true, the matter of craftsmen, practice makes perfect, if you build two ships at the same time, the income is not as big as only one ship." ”

Li Qing was a little dumbfounded, Dong Cheng's was no problem, but Zhou Yuan's words seemed to be quite right.

Then the question arises, is it better to build one, or two
