The next day, Zhao Feng really sent a drawing to the craftsman's workshop, this time, not only the craftsman's workshop, but even the blacksmiths of the blacksmith shop were also summoned together by Zhao Feng.

"This is a newly designed ship, let's call it a steamship!" Zhao Fengdao, "This is the use of the steam engine, the steam engine as the power system, instead of manpower to propel the ship forward!" Zhao Feng explained to the craftsmen.

"So, with this power system, the ship made of pure steel that we discussed and designed before can also sail to the sea!" Zhao Feng said again.

Before that, Zhao Fengshe had built a steamship made of pure steel, and under the surprised eyes of the craftsmen, the steamer successfully floated on the sea, but because the steamer was too heavy, there was no power system as a support, and it was completely impossible to drive such a ship to sail by manpower alone, and even if it sailed, it was very slow!

In that case, it's not as good as the iron-clad steamer in Liaodong now! But now, with the invention of the steam engine, ships can completely use the steam engine as a power system, so that even a ship made of pure steel can sail quickly on the sea and on the river!

However, the only thing that needs to be considered now is the rust prevention problem after the ship is launched into the sea, as we all know, the salt content of seawater is quite high, once negligent, the steel will be quickly corroded! Therefore, how to prevent rust now is a top priority!

Zhao Feng has been trying to use the cathode electrode method to prevent rust like later generations over the years, but he has been unable to refine the metal "tin", so it has been delayed! Now, since pure steel ships have been put on the agenda again, the problem of rust prevention has been put on the agenda again!

In fact, people in ancient times were already trying to purify and use pewter, but Zhao Feng had also seen ancient pewter, and there were too many impurities, so what Zhao Feng needed to do was to improve the purification method! The higher the purity of the tin block, the better!

As the craftsmen went through the drawings, all the craftsmen couldn't help but sigh, Zhao Feng's bold idea, can this really succeed? No manpower, just the so-called steam engine?

"You go and build a ship according to this drawing, and when the time comes, you will know!" Zhao Feng smiled slightly, completely ignoring everyone's gaze.

The craftsmen nodded, Zhao Feng had brought them more than one or two miracles, and they now had every reason to believe that Zhao Feng would be able to bring them another miracle!

"Since there are no opinions, then let's go to work!" Zhao Feng smiled slightly and clapped his hands, "What Lone asks is to see me for a long time, and make every effort to build a ship for me, and when the spring starts next year, I hope to see the ship enter the sea!" ”

"Yes! Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best! As soon as Zhao Fengde's words fell, all the craftsmen promised in unison, and they had already decided in their hearts that they would not disappoint the lord!

After leaving the craftsman's workshop, Zhao Feng had nowhere to go, so he returned to his mansion and found that Gu Yong was already waiting for him in the mansion!

"Why is Senior Brother here?" Zhao Feng was slightly stunned.

"Back to the lord, it will be time to harvest the crops in two days, according to statistics, the crops that we can harvest in Liaodong account for fifty percent of the original, which is much better than the rest of the princes! The rest of the princes are basically nothing! Gu Yong reported to Zhao Feng.

"Oh?" Zhao Feng raised his eyebrows, he knew that according to the harvest of crops in Liaodong in previous years, as long as there was fifty percent of the harvest, it would not be a loss, and it would be able to feed the people of Liaodong! In this way, Liaodong can still have half a surplus this year, which Zhao Feng did not expect! In Zhao Feng's view, as long as the harvest is forty percent, even if it is not a loss, after all, the drought and flood are there, even if he is completely prepared, Zhao Feng does not dare to think of completely "defeating" natural disasters!

"Yes, my lord, I Liaodong up and down, if it is evenly distributed, I can still have half of the surplus!" Xun Yu Dao.

"Well, let's talk about it, where is the disaster more severe?" Zhao Feng asked.

"Yes, the coastal area of Qingzhou of our army has been seriously affected, and the newly acquired territory has also suffered a lot due to the lack of timely repairs!" Gu Yongdao.

"Hmm!" Zhao Feng nodded.

This was what he expected, there was only less than half a year, and it couldn't be repaired at all in the Liaodong Territory, so it was relatively normal to be affected by the flood!

"By the way, the grain harvested this year should not be evenly distributed, whoever should be the family is who's family, and if there is no harvest, we will make up for it!" Zhao Feng said suddenly.

"Yes!" Gu Yong nodded.

"By the way, my lord, there is one more thing that needs to be reported!" Gu Yong, who just wanted to say goodbye and leave, seemed to think of something again.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Feng asked.

"That's the case, it seems that the Hedong Wei family has moved to Cao Cao's rule because they are dissatisfied with us!" Gu Yongdao.

"Hedong Wei family?" Zhao Feng was slightly stunned, could it be that Wei Zhongdao was in the Wei family?

"It's one of the four great businessmen of my Han Dynasty, the Hedong Wei family!" Gu Yong emphasized again.

"Hehe, why are you dissatisfied with us?" Zhao Feng smiled disdainfully.

"It's because of my snowflake salt in Liaodong!" Gu Yong said with a little crying and laughing, "The Wei family controls basically half of the salt production of the Han Dynasty, and my Liaodong suddenly broke his monopoly, and the snowflake salt produced in my Liaodong is of better quality and lower price, and their interests have been greatly damaged!" ”

"Hehe......" Zhao Feng sneered, it turned out to be because of this!

"Don't worry about him, they can take refuge in whoever they want!" Zhao Feng said coldly, "There are many families who think highly of themselves, what is his Wei family? ”

Indeed, Zhao Feng now has this capital, what is the Wei family? At most, it can be regarded as one of the four major businessmen of the Han Dynasty, but what about the other three? Zhongshan Zhen family, Xuzhou Mi family and Jiangdong Lu family! These three families have all submitted to Zhao Feng, and have taken over the various systems under Zhao Feng's rule.

So, now it seems that what is his Wei family? Even if he surrendered to Zhao Feng, it was just the icing on the cake, even if he took refuge in others, for Zhao Feng, it was insignificant!

"Hmm!" Gu Yong naturally knew what Zhao Feng thought, he just reported the matter to Zhao Feng truthfully, and his real opinion was actually the same as Zhao Feng, because now the real number one businessman in the Han Dynasty is probably Zhao Feng, right? The resources and financial resources that Zhao Feng now controls are beyond the reach of no one!

There's something to do during the day.,There's no code word.,Owe a chapter to make up later!
