Chapter 126: A Storm Brews

"I'm for it too!"

"I also agree with Liang Gong's opinion!"

Most businessmen feel that what Liang Bin said is reasonable, and if the business reaches their level, their horizons will naturally not be narrow, and they will not be able to pay attention to the movements of the imperial court in time.

To put it mildly, let's just say that there is a rumor spread in the capital, and they have to analyze it for a long time to see if the emperor in the deep palace has got any news to do something to them, not to mention that the emperor is going to order a thorough investigation of Xuanda's generals.

"In that case, what do you think should be done about this?"

Fan Yongdou glanced at everyone and asked quietly.

A businessman said: "Don't think about this, if the emperor really knows what we are doing, even if we donate all our family wealth to the imperial court, the emperor of the Zhu family will have to destroy our nine clans and dig up our ancestral graves." ”

Another merchant said, "Who is willing to donate all the wealth that their ancestors have worked so hard to accumulate to the imperial court?" ”

"There are no such great people in the world."

A businessman sneered: "Besides, even if we are willing to give up our wealth to save our lives, the emperor of the Zhu family will not give us a way to live, and the only way to survive now is to completely fall to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, otherwise everyone will obediently wait for death!" ”

"I haven't lived enough, but I don't want to die."

A businessman with a meaty face and little culture scolded at a glance: "In these days, is it easy for us businessmen to make money?" If you want to rob Lao Tzu's money, the emperor can't do it, damn it, I think it's better to contact that side as soon as possible. ”

All the merchants seconded it, but not one of them objected.

As for whether this is moral, it is not within the scope of their businessmen's consideration at all.

In the concept of Ming merchants, they only care about their own interests, and the national court and everything are floating clouds.

Jinshanwei, twenty kilometers from the sea camp of the navy.

Headed by the flagship named "Tokai", followed by five ships named Kanayama 1 to 5, they were majestically patrolling the coastal waters, and the navy soldiers were staring wide-eyed, hoping that pirates would come and deliver food.

After half a month of training, the selected pilot was finally able to drive the boat in style.

Compared with wooden sailing ships, these modern ships that have been 'imported' across time and space have a smoother and faster speed, and only one person can drive the boat, which greatly saves the physical exertion of soldiers.

The third floor of the flagship is Li Chuan's exclusive territory, and the front is a large living room, and the glass is all floor-to-ceiling bulletproof tempered glass.

Li Chuan was standing here at this time, holding Su Xiaomei's soft waist with one hand, looking at the scenery.

"This Western warship is truly ingenious."

Although she had been shocked for a long time, Su Xiaomei couldn't help but marvel.

Whether it was the luxury of the flagship, or the fact that these ships could sail the seas without sails, it completely upended her perception of the world, and it still felt like a dream.

In the cold winter, although the Jinshanwei in this mountain is not as cold as last year, it is still very cold, but the boat is warm and does not feel the cold at all, as if it is in the early spring of warm clothes, and only a thin coat can be worn.

Li Chuan said: "In more than 300 years, our Han craftsmen will be able to build a giant ship ten times larger than this. ”

"Husband, you're not kidding, are you?"

Su Xiaomei was shocked and felt a little incredible, so much so that she didn't think about the hidden meaning of the Han people in his words.

It's a bit unbelievable that a ship ten times bigger than this one.

This ship is already very large, the hull is not smaller than the largest Fu ship, and the ship ten times larger than this is really beyond the cognition of people in this era, Su Xiaomei naturally can't believe it, and it is impossible to think of what the world will be like more than three hundred years later.

"When did my husband joke with you!"

Li Chuan said leisurely: "The times are developing, and once science and technology really sprout, the speed of development will exceed your imagination." Three hundred years is a country, but for the development of science and technology, it is enough to change the world. ”

"Is the craftsman really that powerful?"

Su Xiaomei has been taught by Li Chuan for a long time, and she has learned some technical truths, even if she knows a little about it, but just because these ships can sail on the sea without sails, it is enough to experience the power of science and technology.

"Of course!"

Li Chuan said: "Although craftsmen have no status in our Ming Dynasty, they are different in the West, craftsmen not only have status, but also have rich knowledge, they are the most amazing group of people to promote the development of this world." ”

Su Xiaomei shook her head, expressing her incomprehension.

The social hierarchy of Shinong industry and commerce has long been rooted in the bones of the Ming people, even if she is greatly influenced by Li Chuan, Su Xiaomei still can't understand how a craftsman with an extremely low status can be so great in the mouth of her husband.

In Daming, no one wants to be a craftsman.

The difficulty is to hear, the artisan household is a group of coolies raised by the imperial court, and they are not as good as farmers.

"Yes, that's not right!"

Li Chuan was holding the telescope and scanning around, and suddenly his spirits were lifted.

On the sea in the distance, a group of small black dots appeared, at a distance of at least twenty miles, if it were not for a telescope, it would not be visible to the naked eye at all, and if there were black dots on the sea, there would be nothing else except the ship.

"Young master, a ship has been spotted in the northeast."

At this moment, Huang Tianxiang's excited voice sounded on the walkie-talkie next to him.

This cargo is keeping pace with the times, living on the ship for half a month did not go home, nothing else learned, to the ship's walkie-talkie used a smooth, after all, learn to use this thing, and then report things in the future without Xin legs.

The point is that you don't want to be a light bulb anymore, and if you see something that you shouldn't see, it will be even more of a headache.

With this amazing microphone, everything is much more convenient.

The only pity is that this thing doesn't have enough distance to transmit sound, and it can't be transmitted too far away.

"See, go over and see."

Li Chuan ordered directly, and he also wanted to know where so many ships came from on the sea in the winter.

If it was the Zheng family's fleet, he would be even happier, and he could take this opportunity to try the combat capabilities of the new warship.

Soon, the six large ships quickly changed course and headed northeast.

Later, the sails were raised, and the soldiers who were in charge of controlling the sails also learned how to control the sails with buttons and joysticks, which also provided some power when driving in the crosswind, which could increase the speed.

Under the dual power, six large ships lined up in the shape of goose wings and sailed to the northeast in a direction of nearly 40 kilometers per hour.
