Chapter 216: Mechanically Powered Merchant Ships

"One hundred taels can be exchanged for fifteen thousand Dafeng treasure banknotes, and if you don't take them out in the bank for a year, you can get one tael of interest, or one hundred and fifty Dafeng treasure banknotes;

The higher the year, the more interest, and there are thirty taels for ten years, and what about this good thing? Hey~~, it's a pity that I don't have much silver taels in total? ”

Wu Fan, who came up on the other side, couldn't help muttering, but he was shy in his pocket, and his face was full of depression and helplessness.

"Cousin, you see, Liu Er likes to do something new? Opening a bank actually gives interest to others......"

At the same time, in the house of Liufu, the youthful little Lori also pouted with a newspaper and said.

"Sisi, why did you mention your brother-in-law's pseudonym again? He is now the prince of a country, and he is no longer a deacon of our family. ”

Liu Yuehu smiled innocently, and responded while taking the newspaper.

"Hmph~~, who made this bad guy forget his original promise, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come back for your birthday, even dare to forget the thing that he promised to give me his birthday...... Stinky Liu Er, bad Liu Er! ”

Liu Yuehu didn't mention it, but as soon as his words fell, the girl with bright eyes and bright teeth pursed her small mouth and stomped her feet angrily.

Ah sneeze~~~ Ah sneeze, in the Shenji Camp in the capital, Liu Huayun, who was instructing the craftsmen to do things, suddenly sneezed a few times inexplicably.

I'll go, my brother is so handsome, who is scolding me again?

Seeing that Zhang Falin and the others next to him were looking at him, Liu Huayun touched his chin inexplicably, and his face was full of embarrassment.......

"Xianggong, you come back early, my child and I will miss you......"

"Sister Magu, take care of the ...... of Xianggong"

At the end of March, when the spring flowers were blooming, at the gate of the Horse Mansion, the women were waving goodbye to Liu Huayun and the others who boarded the carriage;

Knowing that Yin Magu has good martial arts, as well as the pistol she carries and sufficient magazines, Zhao Lingxin, Liu Ruoping, and Duan Yaoying are not worried about the safety of Liu Huayun's trip, but they are just a little regretful that they can't accompany them because they are physically inconvenient.

"Uncle Hua, go to the canal wharf, Sister Magu, this time let's go to Jinling, there is enough time and things to do with love, do you like it?"

After a few months, the first merchant ship has been delivered, and the second larger one is also being actively built, so after the carriage left the Horse Mansion, Liu Huayun smiled and instructed Uncle Hua, who was driving the car.

"Little brother, you're not honest, be careful of your sister spanking you."

Feeling his thief's hand rubbing against him, Yin Magu smiled and said angrily, but his body had already softened into his arms.

During this time, with the completion of the power plant in the suburbs of Beijing, the adjacent cement factories were switched to electric grinders, and the stones used to pour concrete were smashed manually, but now they are also machined;

In this way, not only does it save a lot of labor, but the output of cement and stone is more than ten times more than before.

In addition, the construction of money printing machines and plastic machinery is almost complete, the process of printing money paper has also matured, and the firing of transparent glass is not a problem, and the cockpit and windows of the first merchant ships have been widely used;

The next step is to build a banknote printing factory with reinforced concrete, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and creams next to the Shenji Battalion..... For such a plant, the planning drawings Liu Huayun has been handed over to Zhang Falin, Zheng Cheng and others.

Taking advantage of this stall, he decided to take the stainless steel machine built for the Liu family for distilling perfume and making soap, as well as a more elaborate soap packaging machine, and take a fuel-fired merchant ship that could pass smoothly in the diving room to Jinling.

Of course, this trip to Jiangnan helped the Liu family build a power plant, and turned a large number of flowers planted by his father-in-law Liu Qingfu in Jinling and Hangzhou into perfumes, and soaps with fine craftsmanship and better quality.

Inspect the first steel giant ship in Dafeng into the river, and complete the ...... with the Lin family, the Deng family, the Li family, and the Wang family and so on to report the transactions of the perfume workshop family;

Banks of steel and cement were built in the southern parts of the Yangtze River to prepare for the issuance of Dafeng treasure banknotes...... etc., all of which Liu Huayun wants to supervise, or needs to do it himself.

In addition, if time permits, he also wants to go to Jiuhua Mountain in Chizhou to find Han Qiu, but he is obsessed with it.

"Sir, it's here."

Just when Yin Magu's eyes were full of spring and he was uncomfortable, the carriage slowly stopped, and Uncle Hua said respectfully.

"Okay, Sister Magu, get out of the car, it's not too late to be affectionate when you get on the boat."

With a snack, Liu Huayun let go of her, and the two walked down......

Half a day later, a silver cargo ship more than two zhang wide and seven or eight zhang long, without sails, but speeding through the Jining section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, attracted the attention of many people along the coast and other merchant ships.

But before they could see clearly, the small cargo ship had already left in a hurry with black smoke.

"Little brother, your steel ship is really fast."

After some clouds and rain, Yin Magu and Liu Huayun, who had been dressed, walked out of the cabin together, stood on the deck, looking at the scenery along the way, she couldn't help but ask happily.

Is it fast, why do I always feel that these two guys are always moving forward at a low speed in second gear, and the speed is less than two hundred per hour.

The diesel-powered passenger ship designed by Liu Huayun has only three forward gears and one arrival gear for ease of driving, and theoretically speaking, the speed should reach 360 miles per hour.

It's just that Wu Linghua and Xiao Yanwei only came into contact with the drill a few days ago, for fear of hitting other ships and damaging the ship, how dare they drive with all their might;

Every time I encounter a fork in the river, I have to slow down and ask the guide, so I will go so slowly, if I am at full power, I should be almost to Jinling by now.

"Hehe, this one, my sister is happy."

The first thing when going out is to put safety first, so before the two of them can master driving, Liu Huayun is too lazy to urge, and it is much better to waste some diesel than to really make an accident or something.

"Little brother, I'm good at driving the carriage, this iron ship hasn't been driven yet, why don't you let my sister feel it too?"

After looking at the scenery on the deck for a while, Yin Magu couldn't help but say this with itchy hands.

"Okay, but the river is a little narrow now, and when there is a lake later, I will personally instruct my sister ......"

With a snarling smile, Liu Huayun took Yin Magu and walked towards the cockpit.

This merchant ship is not very large, there are only two rooms for people to rest, and the others are large rooms for goods, and the wheelhouse is not the same as the steamship in Liu Huayun's previous life.

Except for the simple driver's seat, rudder, and gear, there is no dashboard with various functions at all, and at this moment, Wu Linghua, Xiao Yanwei, and a group of people who often run business in Caoyun are all looking at the front intently.

"My lord, Sister Ma, you are here."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, they hurriedly turned back to salute.
