Bai Chun, Li Chongyi, and other officials, ordinary people, etc., looked at the three giant ships in disbelief and stunned, slowly revealing their full true faces.

Like an endless mountain range, but also like a long dragon, on the three giant ships, the four-masted huge sail is like a waterfall hanging in the air, at this moment under the command, slowly falling, majestic, mighty, people can feel the three giant ships to the dock of everyone, and even to the whole Hangzhou to bring great deterrence.

Li Hong was also a little stunned, he only occasionally communicated with Li Chunfeng and told him some knowledge of ships when he was a crew member in one of his lives, explaining what kind of structure and structure can make the giant ship sail far away and increase the flexibility and mobility of the ship, and said it superficially, but he didn't expect that in this short period of time, Li Chunfeng actually came over with three giant ships!

Originally, he thought that it would be a miracle to be able to come over, but now seeing these three ships that are similar to the "Galen Ship" in the previous life still makes his heart full of shock and incredulity.

The Galen ship, the largest Galen ship in the last life, could reach a displacement of two thousand tons, a draft of eight meters, and the aft deck was enough to reach seven floors.

Moreover, the most commendable thing is that before the end of the sailing era, the Galen ship has always been the standard for the design of warships and battleships, and its influence, combat power, and practicality are completely incomparable to other sailing ships.

Different from the traditional design of the Tang Dynasty for ships, the bow of the three giant ships, which was originally used as an observatory, was erected with a small smast, and the so-called observatory was moved to the stern, forming a place where the commander of the ship commanded the ship and lived.

On the lower deck of the bow of the ship is the space for soldiers, cargo, and so on. The ship's body, except for the two masts in front and the two masts in the back, are some of the things that are available on a daily basis.

And all the daily necessities, supplies during the war, etc., were placed on the lower deck, along with nearly a thousand soldiers.

In this way, it not only forms a neat and tidy surface of the deck, but also creates more space for the soldiers on the deck to act in naval battles, so that they can easily fight effectively on the deck and the first deck in the face of the enemy's sneak attack or active attack.

Even the Tang soldiers on the ship, who now stand on both sides of the hull deck, have also undergone a transformation of the armor on their bodies, which is different from the soldiers on land, whose whole body is covered by armor, but has become a local armor that is more used on the ship, and can make the soldiers move flexibly when sailing and fighting on the stormy sea.

"Your Highness, this is the giant ship you personally advocated to build?" Li Chongyi trembled his fingers, pointing to the giant ship that was about to dock at the dock, as if facing a hill, and asked in a trembling tone.

"Yes, but I didn't expect Li Chunfeng to be able to build three ships in such a short period of time, it's incredible, it seems that I still underestimated Li Chunfeng's determination and desire to sail." Li Hong also shook his head in shock at the three giant ships in front of him.

It can be seen that these three huge ships have obviously been completely assembled, and they are the kind of real sea killing weapons that can be put into naval battle at any time, and they are definitely not a simple big ship that is not used in vain.

Bai Chun was a little dazed, watching the giant ship anchor at the dock, the people on the side, and even some officials, couldn't help but take twenty or thirty steps back in the face of such a huge behemoth approaching them.

Only Li Hong, Li Chongyi, and Bai Chun were still standing in place, looking at the giant ship that was moored, and they were discussing.

"Your Highness, don't you say that there are five ships, why do you think that the construction is much faster? What's more, before this, it wasn't already that ....... Bai Chun didn't dare to say any more, she was afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be angry and throw herself into the Qiantang River.

After all, if it was such a majestic and magnificent giant ship that was sunk into the sea, Bai Chun didn't know if Li Hong would be distressed, anyway, she was quite distressed, how much silver would it cost.

It is no wonder that the courtiers above the court, including His Majesty and the Empress, have complained about Li Hong's huge amount of money to build such a behemoth.

Although His Majesty and the Empress finally prevented Li Hong from continuing to throw silver at the Quanzhou dock in disguise by confiscating the prince's silver taels, the previous more than 10 million taels of white flowers and silver were thrown into the sea by him, which made Li Zhi feel a little pain in his liver every time he thought about it.

Moreover, if such a giant ship can be sunk by the storm on the sea, then these giant ships in front of you will also sink when they enter the so-called deep sea? Wouldn't it be that these ten million taels of silver would eventually sink into the sea?

This is also the dissatisfaction of Li Hong who wants to continue to invest silver in Quanzhou above the court.

"It's different." Li Hong was full of emotion, looked up at the side of the three giant ships, and muttered: "Don't say sinking four, even sinking five, six, or even more, it is worth it for me or for Datang, not to mention, those ships that were sunk were just empty shells, and they were not ships that were fully armed and ready to fight immediately like the three in front of me now." ”

Li Hong's words were full of emotion, whether it was Bai Chun, Li Chongyi, or the officials who were close behind him, none of them understood what Li Hong meant, why the huge ship that was built at a huge cost was sunk, and it was still a good thing for His Royal Highness the Prince?

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has so much silver that there is no place to put it, so he has to throw it into the sea to reduce the pressure on the inventory!

Li Hong looked at everyone around him with a blank look, smiled and said: "In the future, you will understand, if you want my Datang to go out, if you want to make my Datang more rich and powerful, not only as long as the Tang army on land defends my Datang, but also that the hegemony at sea is actually the only way out for my Datang to continue to be rich and strong, and to stretch the national fortune for a hundred years!" ”

"The minister Cui Zhifen and Li Chunfeng have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Bai." Cui Zhibian and Li Chunfeng, leading the original students, quickly walked down from the boat, stood in front of Li Hong and said.

"Li Chunfeng, Cui Zhibian, you have tasted the sweetness, you all know that you thank Miss Bai, do you have something to ask for?" Li Hong looked at Li Chunfeng, who was white and fat before, but now he was dark and thin, and motioned for Li Chongyi to go to Hangzhou.

As for the three giant ships behind them, there were already soldiers standing on the dock, guarding the three giant ships in the middle, and no one was allowed to approach!

"Your Highness is wise, it seems that you can't hide anything, and now you really hope that Miss Bai can allocate another fifteen million taels of silver to the minister, so that the minister dares to guarantee that within ten years, the minister will be able to do it, and my Datang ships will walk in all corners of the world." Li Chunfeng was full of spirits, and when he mentioned the right thing, the whole person immediately became excited, compared with the previous mysterious and unpredictable magic stick Li Chunfeng, it was like two people.

When Cui Zhifen heard Li Chunfeng's words, he also nodded in agreement and said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that Lord Li Chunfeng is reasonable, if you are willing to allocate another 15 million taels of silver to the minister, the minister promises to return it twice when the time comes." ”

Li Chongyi was confused, for all corners of Li Chunfeng's world, he didn't think he heard it, anyway, this god stick has always been difficult for ordinary people to understand, so he simply skimmed by.

But Cui Zhibian actually shouted with Li Chunfeng, hoping that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would give them another fifteen million taels of silver, this obviously doesn't sound so simple, is there really endless treasure on this sea?

What surprised and surprised him even more was that when the two of them got off the boat, they didn't say a few polite words to His Royal Highness the Prince, and began to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on this pier.

What does this mean? It shows that the two of them have definitely tasted the sweetness, Li Chunfeng and Cui Zhifen are both pure and noble people who regard money as dung, especially Li Chunfeng, no one knows what his pursuit in this life is, if there is, it is the ethereal stars and the sea.

Cui Zhifen has always pursued the strength of the navy, and in this life, he basically spent most of his time at sea, and even at sea compared to on land, he felt free.

Therefore, these two people hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will continue to allocate funds, definitely not to be greedy for ink and silver when building the giant ship, but definitely because the giant ship has provided them with their lifetime and wants to pursue the ideal platform and path, so they are so impatient, and hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will immediately allocate funds to them.

Li Hong just shook his head and smiled bitterly in the face of the request of the two, and the two of them didn't care what they were like when they were above the court.

Let's not talk about others, the father and the queen mother, this extorted nearly 30 million taels of silver from themselves, plus the court, there have always been doubts about what wealth the giant ship can bring to Datang when it sails to the sea.

What's more, in their hearts, when Xu Fu went to sea for Emperor Qin to seek the elixir of life, and finally disappeared without a trace on the sea, some people think that Xu Fu drove the white boat and gold and silver treasures to a remote island, and lived a luxurious life, which deceived Emperor Qin.

Moreover, if the commander of the giant ship rebels, the impact on the imperial court is also huge, so the court ministers have always held an ambiguous attitude towards Li Hong's plan to build a giant ship and sail to the sea.

Most voices believe that ocean voyages are a complete waste of manpower and material resources, and no matter how abundant the resources on the sea are, fishermen in coastal areas will not live so hard.

Li Hong got into the carriage, and Li Chunfeng and Cui Zhifen obviously did not give up until they achieved their goal, and they didn't even get into the carriage that Li Chongyi prepared for them, but each rode on one horse, following on both sides of the carriage of His Royal Highness the Prince, trying to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to agree to their request in the shortest possible time.
