"Lord Wang, Zhao Cheng will see you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Katsurayama said as he entered the door and saluted.

Zhao Cheng was in the Li Dynasty, helping Li Yanghuan find a way to settle Fang Qifo's 200,000 army, and after Zhao Shuo's general order arrived, he immediately packed up his men and horses, and then loaded the excess sweet potatoes of the Li Dynasty into the ship and headed north.

After returning to Dengzhou Port, the unloading was handed over to the local officials, and Zhao Cheng rushed to Chang'an non-stop.

After Zhao Cheng arrived in Chang'an, all the wars in the north were almost over. Along the way, he avoided all wars.

asked Zhao Cheng to come back because he wanted to discuss the matter of the Tiejia ship with him. At this moment, hearing that Zhao Cheng was back, Zhao Shuo finally showed a smile. "Let him in."

Lin Feng knew that Zhao Shuo had summoned Zhao Cheng back, and he must have something important to discuss, so he bowed to Zhao Shuo and said. "Lord, I still have something to deal with, so I'll go back first."

Zhao Shuo nodded and waved his hand. "Go ahead."

"Hehe, lord, what I said, you can think about it, you can go anywhere, as long as there is a battle." Before leaving, Lin Feng muttered to Zhao Shuo, which was not loud or small, just enough for Zhao Shuo to hear.

After finishing speaking, before Zhao Shuo could speak, Lin Feng had already rushed out at a trot.

"This kid is a talent, why didn't the prince let him lead the troops to fight?" After Lin Feng left, Fang Yunshang raised doubts. "Isn't he the son of Lin Chong, a good man in Liangshan? The prince doesn't reuse this. ”

It is normal for Fang Yunshang to have this question, think about it, although Zhao Shuo's subordinates can recruit many generals who are good at fighting, but now is the war period, the more such generals, the better.

Lin Feng is desperate for Zhao Shuo, and his martial arts strength is not bad, he wants to fight on the battlefield and kill the enemy, it stands to reason that Zhao Shuo should be promoted to a person like Lin Feng and cultivate his own army.

But Zhao Shuo completely went to the other extreme, Lin Feng had always been left by his side, and there was almost no chance of participating in the war. Even if I was lucky enough to participate in some battles, they were all small fights.

Thinking about the generals who came out of Lin'an with Zhao Shuo, there were also generals who were subdued halfway, except for Lin Feng and Ling Yun, the other generals had all become party leaders, including Zhu Feng, who was already old. Ling Yun stayed in Chang'an, firstly, because he did have his own set of methods for gunpowder research. Many of Zhao Shuo's ideas are too difficult to make without him and the rest. Second, Ling Yun's father, Ling Zhen, held an important position in the official residence of the Great Song Gunpowder Bureau, and keeping Ling Yun by his side can be regarded as keeping a hand.

But Lin Feng was completely different, he stayed in Chang'an, just in charge of coaching recruits. Coaching recruits is such a thing, just find a veteran, there is no need to leave someone as capable as Lin Feng.

This kind of doubt is not only Fang Yunsheng, but also many officials under Zhao Shuo. But those officials didn't have a chance to ask Zhao Shuo, while Fang Yunshang had a chance to ask.

"Yunshang, why did you suddenly pay attention to Qi Lin Feng?" Zhao Shuo did not answer, but came to a rhetorical question.

"Lord Wang, I just asked casually, what does it mean to pay attention to Lin Feng, I have always been concerned about you." Fang Yunshang smiled shyly and lightly hammered Zhao Shuo.

"Okay, okay, this is the hall, Zhao Cheng will see it in a moment, what kind of system will it be." Zhao Shuo glanced twice at the door and spoke.

Fang Yunsheng's face turned even redder, and he hammered Zhao Shuo again, not speaking.

At this time, Zhao Cheng happened to come in.

"Minister Zhao Cheng pays a visit to the prince." Zhao Cheng saluted and knelt on the ground.

"Zhao Cheng, get up, get up." Zhao Shuo was very friendly and helped Zhao Cheng up. "You've worked hard these times."

"What did the prince say, the minister was defeated by the Great Song Dynasty back then, and there was no way to escape, if it wasn't for the prince to take him in, the minister wouldn't know where he died." Zhao Cheng said with great gratitude. "The minister's life was saved by the prince, and it shouldn't be right to do things for the prince."

Zhao Shuo turned his head to look at Fang Yunsheng. "Yunshang, look at the tea."

When Fang Yunshang went to make tea, Zhao Shuo looked at Zhao Cheng. "Zhao Cheng, do you think such an idea as an ironclad ship can be realized?"

Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment and asked softly. "The prince wants to build an iron ship?"

"Let's talk about whether it's feasible first." Zhao Shuo said.

Zhao Cheng pondered for a while before speaking. "Lord Wang, if you want to talk about the possibility, there is, after all, the boat is sailing on the water, the roast is buoyancy, and it is rumored to be wooden or iron, there is no difference between these, as long as the buoyancy is large enough, it can float."

As soon as the so-called connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. Zhao Cheng's words are much stronger than Zhang Chujiu's thinking that the iron must sink to the bottom.

"In that case, then Zhao Cheng, can you build an iron ship?" Zhao Shuo asked a little impatiently.

"Lord, the theory is feasible, according to the appearance of wood, it may be possible to make it iron, but the weight of iron is much heavier than wood, that is to say, the same ship, with iron is much heavier than with wood, so that more manpower is needed, the same space, but more manpower, in this way, with iron ships, for us, it is a loss." Zhao Cheng said a question that Zhao Shuo didn't expect.

"Haha......" Zhao Shuo scratched his head. After talking to Wu Yashi at the beginning, he had already thought about the engine, but when he saw Zhao Cheng, he couldn't control it, and when there was no engine, he asked about the iron ship.

"Zhao Cheng, if I can make a machine to replace manpower, you say, is it still a loss for the Tiejia ship to be built?" Although he was a little helpless, Zhao Shuo was still a little unwilling in his heart, so he asked such a clear question.

Zhao Cheng pondered for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Cheng said. "Lord Wang, if there is really an engine to replace manpower, it will definitely greatly improve the strength of the navy, and the sturdy appearance of the iron ship can also give full play to the advantages of defense, so that our navy will definitely become the overlord of the water."

After analyzing, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but wonder and asked. "Lord Wang, what is that engine that replaces manpower?"

At this time, Fang Yunshang just came back from making tea. After pouring tea for Zhao Shuo and Zhao Cheng, she asked softly. "What engine? What is that? ”

Zhao Cheng smiled awkwardly, did not speak, but pointed at Zhao Shuo.

Fang Yunshang looked at Zhao Shuo. "Lord Wang, what is the engine?"

"The engine?" Zhao Shuo frowned. "A transmitter is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy."

Yes?

Mechanical energy?

Machine?

Fang Yunshang and Zhao Cheng raised three doubts at the same time, and the doubts on their faces became even heavier.

"Engines, to put it bluntly, are things that can replace manpower and make boats run faster." Zhao Shuo was helpless and could only give such an explanation.

But below this, Yunshang and Zhao Cheng understood.
