Chapter 125: Conspiracy
"This is the headlight switch, this is the large-screen projection switch......"
It was dawn, Li Chuan was still driving a boat for the teacher, although he was very interested in driving a boat, but he was not a driver, it was impossible to drive a boat all the time, and it was not a boat, he couldn't drive it alone, he could only train a driver.
The remaining five boats have also been seen, and although they are not as luxuriously decorated as the flagship, the operation is the same.
"Okay, that's ......"
With the low roar of the engine, the big ship started slowly.
Li Chuan stood beside him, pointing and encouraging.
The family who drove the boat was excited and nervous, and even his hand pulling the accelerator was a little trembling.
Six big boats drift aimlessly on the sea, the speed is very slow, the selected pilot is practicing to drive the boat, this is not a matter of one or two days, how to use a lot of equipment on the big ship, have to practice one by one.
Li Chuan took his family into the cabin and checked the cabin.
The flagship's cabin is larger than the other five boats, and it is also a four-person room, but the decoration and materials of the flagship cabin are much better than the other five ships, and the bedding and everything is available.
"It's a ......"
The family was amazed, but they didn't know what words to use to describe the cabin.
They've never seen such a good warship.
Being able to make a place where people live like this is a pleasure for the family to live on a boat for the rest of their lives.
As for the master bedroom of the flagship, a luxury suite of more than 200 square meters, after the family visited, they felt that the kind of house was simply not lived in by people, but by the gods, what was it like in the palace, but it was not so luxurious.
There is a bright head, and there are already doubts in my heart, this ship is really made by those ghosts?
Of course, no one asked.
After looking at the cabin, Li Chuan went to see the cargo hold again.
In addition to 200 tons of oil, there are also a large number of guns, ammunition and various medicines, and the rest are all bags of white rice flour and clear oil seasoning, which fills the cargo hold, in addition to the fact that each ship has a large cold storage, with a storage capacity of 100 tons, which is full of frozen pork and beef and mutton, enough for 5,000 people to eat for several years.
For these materials, Li Chuan spent more than 70 million.
As for fresh water, there is no fresh water tank on the ship, because all ships are equipped with fresh water extraction equipment, and the seawater can be directly separated and extracted from fresh water, and there is no need for fresh water tanks, which is equivalent to solving one of the biggest troubles of sea ships in this era.
Everything on board was so dazzling that the family and sailors could not understand it at all.
For example, the pipe that automatically gushes water is really amazing.
When it was almost noon, six big ships slowly drove into the naval camp, fortunately, the door of the big camp was very wide, and it was no problem for five big ships to pass in parallel, otherwise it would be a problem for these sailors to drive the ship into the big camp because of their rotten sailors' rotten sailing skills.
When Li Chuan returned to the mansion, Su Xiaomei was making small clothes.
This girl has been sewing clothes lately when she has nothing to do, and she thinks that the child is about to fall into the devil.
"My husband is back."
When she heard the footsteps, she turned her head and saw Li Chuan enter the door, Su Xiaomei hurriedly put down the work in her hand and greeted her, and while serving Li Chuan to change her shoes, she said thoughtfully: "It's cold outside, husband, drink a cup of hot tea, Ping'er, pour tea for the master." ”
"Hey, little maid, this is down."
Ping'er answered, and ran to make tea with his hands and feet.
Li Chuan changed into a pair of cotton slippers and said, "The warship I bought for my husband has been delivered, and I will take you on the ship another day to have a look." ”
Su Xiaomei said with interest: "There are very good looks on the boat, so the concubine will not go!" ”
Li Chuan said with a mysterious face: "The warships I bought are not those wooden sailing ships, but all made of iron, which can sail on the sea without sails, and there are many things you can't imagine." ”
"Iron ships?"
Su Xiaomei was stunned and said in surprise: "There are all ships in the world made of iron, how much iron does it take, and besides, iron is much heavier than water, how can it be floating on the sea without sinking?" ”
Li Chuan pinched her pretty face and said, "So I let you learn more knowledge when you have time, don't be a baby at the bottom of the well." The reason why ships can float on the surface of the water is not because of the weight of wood, but because of other reasons, as long as the conditions are met, even if the ship is made of something heavier than iron, it will not sink, and when you see those ships, you will know how strong the power of man is. ”
Su Xiaomei blushed and said with admiration: "Husband is really knowledgeable. ”
"That's nature!"
was praised by his daughter-in-law, Li Chuan was not modest, and said proudly: "If you say that Bogu is through the present, there is no one in this world who can compare to a husband, and when you see those ships, you will know that a husband is not bragging." ”
Su Xiaomei glanced at him, and she was also aroused, and she was somewhat looking forward to it.
Shanxi Jiexiu, a huge manor.
It was dark at night, but one of the halls in the manor house was brightly lit.
More than 20 Jin merchants led by Fan gathered here and were plotting and discussing.
Hundreds of years later, people only know that the eight families of Jin merchants have become the eight imperial merchants of the Manchu Dynasty, but they do not know that there are far more than eight Jin merchants who transfused blood to the Manchus at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but only eight of them have been named imperial merchants.
In fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 20 powerful Jin merchants headed by Fan.
Recently, the situation seems to be a little weird, these Jin merchants have eyes and ears all over the world, especially in Shanxi, even if any powerful person has a few illegitimate children, they can't hide their ears and eyes, and some recent movements in Shanxi have naturally attracted their attention.
"Don't think about it, it must be the imperial court that wants to do it."
Liang Jiabin, a businessman, said: "Since June, there have been five batches of goods detained, what is there to discuss, judging from the news spread in Datong, what is the army surnamed Lu doing, if it is not to deal with us, the army of the Ming Dynasty is a virtue, at this time, the surname Lu has nothing to do to toss the border army in Shanxi, what is it doing?" ”
There are also businessmen who have different opinions: "I have heard that Lu Jiandou is extremely strict in governing the army, and he may not want to deal with us." ”
Liang Bin snorted coldly: "Don't forget the news from the capital, the army of the Ming Dynasty has long been rotten, what is it to embezzle some money, why did the emperor thoroughly investigate the garrison of Xuanda, and how could Lu Xiangsheng send his descendants to Zhangjiakou." ”
The previous merchant was silent, not knowing how to refute it.
"What do you think?"
Fan Yongdou didn't rush to make a statement, he sat firmly on the top and quietly scanned everyone.
Wang Dayu, a big businessman, said: "I agree with Liang Gong's opinion, the emperor and Lu Jiandou's actions are indeed very suspicious, plus those people in the capital have sent news recently, so let's be more restrained, and even someone has to dissociate themselves from us, if it is not for the emperor to know about us, how can he take the border army of Xuanda at this time." ”
