Faced with the problem of guarding the transportation of Qian Zhuang that Zhu Youzhen threw over, Zhu Youxiao made a difficulty.

"This ......"

The capitals of various divisions, so many places, how many military horses do you need to arrange?

To put it mildly, it would take a few thousand people to be enough, right?

Even if Zhu Youxiao was the emperor, he wouldn't be able to mobilize so many regular troops and horses to guard Qianzhuang's transportation?

Even if it is all silver.

But after all, it's still the merchant's silver, not the court's silver, isn't it?

For this purpose, how can the military horses of the imperial court be mobilized?

If you really want to mobilize the military horses, those civil servants will not bomb the camp, and it is strange that they are not looking for death and life (although it doesn't matter how many they die, but after all, it is still too troublesome).

I didn't see the 500 people who were still in the name of the guards of the Xinwang Mansion last time.

"What should I do?"

Zhu Youxiao really made a difficulty, he swept to Xiao Wu's grinning appearance, and he was a little angry.

This little five, since he is so rich, why don't he spend money to hire someone to defend him?

Why do you have to look for me?

Paying for someone?

That's right, can't you just ask Xiao Wu to hire someone, why do I bother with this?

Zhu Youxiao felt that he suddenly realized.

The vassal king's guard cannot be increased, this is the principle. Wouldn't it be nice to ask the money banks to hire their own guards.

As soon as the train of thought was opened, the problem was solved, and Zhu Youxiao had a smile on his face.

"This, this, Little Five. I don't have any horses for you. ”

"The guards of the Xinwang Mansion really can't be increased."

Seeing that Xiao Wu seemed a little unhappy, Zhu Youxiao then promised: "In this way, I will give you a special purpose, our Qianzhuang can hire 100 people in each place, no, 200 guards, equipped with armaments, to maintain the safety of Qianzhuang." So be it. ”

When it comes to our money bank, Zhu Youxiao feels a little unhappy in his heart.

Xiao Wu bothered to start an industry, and he didn't do much just to get money.

Now the matter of guarding the money village everywhere is obviously beyond Xiao Wu's ability, but he pushed it back again. His big brother doesn't seem to be doing something very authentic.

"Little Wu, go see your sister-in-law, right? Want to know if your princess is beautiful? Hurry up and ask her, shall we? Zhu Youxiao took the lead in walking out as if he was fleeing.

Behind him, Zhu Youzhen slowly followed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Returning from the palace, Zhu Youzhen calmed down and entered the system again.

In the blue interface, the area of the third-level ship still revealed a faint light.

Zhu Youzhen's first look at civilian ships this time was the first thing he looked at.

It's the end of the year again, and it's time to prepare gifts again.

Among the third-class civilian ships, the first one is still a Song Dynasty merchant ship. Unlike the last one, this merchant ship has its own name.

Nanhai No. 1.

This name is so familiar, Zhu Youzhen seems to have heard this name in his previous life, but he can't tell what it means.

Nanhai No. 1: 41.8 meters long, 11 meters wide, 32.3 meters waterline, 4.3 meters high, full load displacement 828 tons, load capacity 425 tons. Redeem 100 points and complete 200 points.

This ship is a large circle larger than the previous Song Dynasty merchant ship, the load has been more than doubled, and the displacement has reached an astonishing more than 800 tons.

This kind of ocean-going merchant ship with this displacement is only standing at the peak of the Song Dynasty, right?

Nanhai No. 1, this huge merchant ship immediately aroused Zhu Youzhen's interest.

He turned directly to the last page of the merchant marine area. He wanted to see what kind of ship would be the pinnacle of this third-class merchant ship?

Grand Republic.

Another ship with a proper name, and possibly a ship with a story.

It's a pity that Zhu Youzhen is really unfamiliar with this name, and even the name is the first time he has heard of it.

Grand Republic: total length 93 meters, deck length 80 meters, width 16.2 meters, draft 7.6 meters, full load displacement 3,600 tons, deadweight 2,800 tons. Top speed 19 knots downwind. Redeem 600 points and complete 900 points.

This ship is unlike any of the ships seen earlier.

Its soft sails and long, narrow hull shape clearly suggest that it is a typical Western sailing boat.

The data of this ship is far beyond Zhu Youzhen's imagination.

How fast can such a large displacement be?

It's hard to imagine that this is a sail cargo ship's data, it's amazing.

The sail battleship in Zhu Youzhen's memory in his previous life, I don't know how powerful the data will be?

With such a question, Zhu You inspected the area of the military ship of the third-class ship.

Without hesitation, he turned straight to the last page.

Not surprisingly, a domineering Western warship appeared in front of the eyes.

What a sail battleship.

Victory

"Hiss", Zhu Youzhen gasped.

This resounding name, Zhu Youzhen had a deep impression in his previous life.

This is the British meritorious warship in the previous life, and it is also the car of the legendary British naval admiral Admiral Nelson. It served as the maritime supremacy of the British Empire and made countless great achievements.

It was on this ship that General Nelson maintained British maritime supremacy in the Battle of Trafalgar, and directly shattered Napoleon's dream of invading Britain.

Nelson died on board the Victory in that naval battle, at the moment of victory.

Nelson's romantic way of winning but being killed by the last bullet was admired by countless famous generals who did not want to die at the bedside of the old age.

It's great to see this famous and legendary ship in front of you. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but scream.

Zhu Youzhen fell in love with this domineering battleship at a glance, and if it can be built, my flagship is destined to be it.

Victory: 69.3 meters in length, 57 meters in length, 15.8 meters in width, 8.8 meters in draft, 3,556 tons of full load displacement, 2,176 tons of load capacity. Redeem 700 points and complete 1000 points.

Seeing the displacement of the Victory, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but look back at the data of the Great Republic.

He was really not dazzled, the displacement of the Grand Republic really exceeded that of the Victory.

"Isn't this scientific?" Zhu Youzhen muttered.

It is incredible that the displacement of a sail cargo ship can surpass that of a battleship.

Thinking of the technical gap between the Eastern Han Dynasty fighting ships and the Song Dynasty merchant ships among the second-class ships, Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized.

There is definitely a generational gap between the two.

Although both were sailing ships, the Grand Republic certainly came from a time after the Victory. Maybe the generation difference between the two ships will be more than a hundred years.

Zhu Youzhen can see from the ship type of the third-class ships that at this stage, the differentiation of ships is becoming more and more obvious.

The difference between a merchant ship and a military ship is not just a matter of material. Rather, there is a difference in direction from the beginning of the design.

Merchant ships are merchant ships, and if merchant ships want to be changed into warships in the future, it will be more and more difficult.

"Oops! A ship has 1000 points, how many points does it take to upgrade the system again? Zhu Youzhen saw the completion points of the Victory, and his face changed a little.

"To upgrade to a fourth-tier ship, the host needs to have 90,000 points." God's irritating voice came faintly.

"God, what if I redeem this Victory now?" Zhu Youzhen asked curiously.

"The host now has 6060 points. After redeeming this boat, the remaining points are 5460. If the total number of points is less than 6,000 points, the Tier 3 ship area will be closed and will not be reopened until the host points have been re-accumulated to 6,000 points. God explained it clearly to Zhu Youzhen at a glance.
