A few days later, the huge fleet arrived in the waters near Dongfan Chengtianfu, and Zhu Cijiong did not rush through the southeast defense line to the capital, but ordered the fleet to turn around and rush to the Nandaying Naval Base, because he wanted to build a huge shipyard here.

Although the combined fleet formed by the Dutch did not pose a substantial threat to the Ming Navy, their shipbuilding speed and warship reserves did stimulate Zhu Cijiong fiercely, a small country could build more than 10,000 sea ships in forty or fifty years, while the dignified Ming Empire went through more than two hundred years, leaving less than 1,000 sea ships and two or three thousand small sampans, this huge gap made Zhu Cijiong feel ashamed.

Although now Daming has been able to produce a hundred super battleships a year, 50 Fuchuan warships, but this number is far from enough, not even half of the Dutch, in the Age of Discovery, a super empire if the shipbuilding industry can not reach the global lead, it is simply a big joke, so, Zhu Cijiong decided to vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry, he wants to make the Ming shipbuilding industry in one or two years both in quality and quantity are comprehensive beyond the Netherlands, to reach the first in the world!

Shipbuilding, shipbuilding, I want to go crazy about shipbuilding, with this in mind, Zhu Cijiong went straight to Nandaying.

Zhu Cijiong rushed over in such a hurry and confused the southeastern governor Nan Juyi, because he received a notice that the emperor's fleet would pass through the southeast defense line in the near future, and it was not the emperor's general who came to the Nandaying naval base in person, so there was almost no preparation on the Nandaying side, he only organized the East China Sea Fleet, ready to escort the ships along the way to show respect, and nothing else!

When he rushed to the dock with a group of officials from Chengtianfu, Zhu Cijiong's flagship Daming had already docked, and the dock was already full of soldiers from the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard.

Zhu Cijiong didn't put on much pomp, but just asked Qin Liangyu and Cao Huachun to arrange a little necessary guards, and when the brocade guards were finished, he took a group of accompanying officials Shi Shiran off the boat.

Seeing that the emperor got off the boat, Nan Juyi immediately walked up in a panic, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Weichen didn't know that the emperor's holy car would come in person, so he didn't organize someone to take the driver, and asked the emperor to surrender." “

Zhu Cijiong looked up and looked around, sure enough, except for the Praetorian Guards and the Jinyi Guard, there were some ordinary people watching from afar, without any grand welcome scene, seeing this scene, Zhu Cijiong not only did not get angry, but nodded with a smile and said: "Well, is this good, if every time I come over, you mobilize the people and organize everyone to greet you, then it will not cost the people and money, it is completely unnecessary, as long as you can guard the southeast defense line and manage the east for me, I will be satisfied, as for the things on the scene, If you can do it, you can avoid it. “

When Nan Juyi heard this, he kowtowed movingly: "Thank you for the emperor's forgiveness." “

Zhu Cijiong stepped forward with a smile, helped him up, and said kindly: "Okay, I have said don't care about this, let's go, take me to the shipyard to have a look, I still have a lot to ask you." “

The shipyard is not far from the wharf, Zhu Cijiong didn't even go to the dragon chariot, but under the guidance of Nan Juyi, he walked over, and the emperor even walked, well, this is a bit weird, in fact, there is no rule that the emperor can't walk, but the emperor pays attention to a majesty when he goes out on patrol, so he usually sits on the dragon chariot.

It's far away, it's far away, back to the point, after coming to the shipyard, Zhu Cijiong took a closer look, the dock and waterway here are quite simple, compared with the Dongda Construction Shipyard, there is a world of difference, Zhu Cijiong can't believe that such a simple place can also build a Fuchuan battleship, if it weren't for the keel of the Fuchuan in the dock, if it weren't for the Fuchuan battleship that is about to take shape in the waterway, he really suspected that Nan Juyi was deceiving the king.

He asked, with some surprise, "Why is this dockyard so shabby?" “

Nan Juyi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is already quite good, much better than ordinary private shipbuilding workshops. “

Zhu Cijiong was even more curious, and he couldn't help asking: "Can the people build ships?" “

Nan Juyi nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, there are many shipbuilding workshops among the people, and the shipyards opened by the imperial court only build all kinds of warships and large ships, and those small fishing boats and small merchant ships are impossible to build, and they are all made by private shipbuilding workshops." “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly: "Let them benefit the ship, can they build it?" “

Nan Juyi thought about it, and explained with some embarrassment: "It's not that they can't build a lucky boat, the structure of this lucky ship is not much different from a small sailing ship, but the hull is a little bigger, but if they let them build it, Wechen is estimated to be very slow, because they don't have such a large dock, and the materials are not very easy to find, Wechen has also heard that there are some private shipbuilding workshops in Nanzhili that can benefit the ship, but it is great to be able to build one or two ships a year." “

This is not a problem for Zhu Cijiong, as long as it will be good, he directly waved his hand and said: "Then dig dozens of waterways near Nandaying, build dozens of docks, and concentrate all the private shipbuilding workshops here, and you will buy the materials for them. “

This is to be put in modern terms, it is simply ridiculous, what are you kidding, do you have to let people come over, drag your family with you, stay away from your homeland, how troublesome, and besides, won't the workshop open? Isn't the business done? You're seriously mentally ill!

However, if this is said in the Ming Dynasty and said by the emperor, it is a matter of course, and if a holy decree goes down, who dares to disrespect and resist the decree, it will be killed!

Of course, Zhu Cijiong didn't want to cut off people's money, he didn't say that people would work for the court in vain, what he proposed was just a direction, that is, to do this, to achieve this effect, how to do it, how to distribute the benefits He doesn't need to worry about it, after all, raising so many officials is not a dry meal, and the details are naturally considered by the relevant officials, he just needs to make a final decision.

This is indeed a big project, there are too many aspects involved, of course Nan Juyi knows his responsibilities, the emperor said this is to let him be responsible for handling this matter well, what difficulties can be raised, if you don't mention it, it means that there is no problem, he can completely handle it, two years later, he will meet the emperor's requirements!

Can he handle such a big thing alone?
