Chapter 218: A Combination of East and West

Yi Xiaoge took a moment to visit the tea market in Quanzhou, the last time he drank tea in Cheng Ye, he remembered this most famous export product in modern China, after understanding, Quanzhou is located in the Wuyi Mountain area of Fujian Province is a major tea-producing area. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Therefore, Quanzhou Tea Market not only gathers tea merchants from all over the world, but also includes almost all tea varieties. Among them, Wuyi Mountain rock tea "Da Hong Pao" is the most famous and precious, the mother tree is less than 20 trees, the yield is extremely scarce, there is a saying that the tea gold is said locally, it can be seen how high its status in the tea is. Huaxia has been the birthplace of tea since ancient times, and it dominates the country among Chinese beverages, and the age of this big red robe is as high as hundreds of years. Yi Xiaoge felt that if he could get the cuttings of the mother tree and move them to the island where there was no place to plant, and then ask a top tea master to make the finished product, it would definitely be a quick money.

Yi Xiaoge was going around the tea market, and Luo Meng ran over to find him, saying that Zheng He asked him to talk. Yi Xiaoge was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly asked Luo Meng to take him over. When Yi Xiaoge arrived at Cheng Ye's mansion, he saw Zheng He talking to Cheng Ye.

"I make your lord!"

"Oh, Yi Gongzi is here, take a seat!" Cheng Ye saw Yi Xiaoge coming, and hurriedly got up and greeted, this attitude was even more enthusiastic than before.

Cheng Ye's attitude naturally couldn't escape Yi Xiaoge's eyes, and he was almost sure in his heart that the matter was done, as if it confirmed his guess. As soon as Zheng He met, he said: "Young Master Yi, I invite you to come here today because I have something good to tell you. A few days ago, the Japanese envoy told His Majesty what Yi Gongzi thought, and after His Majesty's deliberations with the ministers, he finally decided to agree with your idea. They believed that this move would not only advance the southward voyage to the West as soon as possible, but also help Yi Gongzi open up new routes, and at the same time reduce the pressure on the imperial treasury! ”

Yi Xiaoge said secretly, this last one is the key, no wonder that in the court that day, a group of ministers were opposed, it turned out that they did not give enough benefits. Now in order to get the drawings, Yi Xiaoge has taken care of all the construction costs of the ships, and the ministers have agreed, hey...... Bureaucracy.

"Great! Thanks to the suggestion, I can use a more powerful ship from now on. Yi Xiaoge hugged Zheng He with his fist.

"Huh...... I will only thank you if you can build a ship in a year. The treasure ship drawings and shipbuilders will be handed over to you in a few days, and I hope you will keep your promise and complete the plan! ”

"Don't worry, sir! I will do my best under the next by all means! ”

After waiting for three days, several shipbuilders arrived at Snapper Island with the drawings of Zheng He's treasure ship, and the leading shipbuilder was an old man with a sixtieth birthday. When Yi Xiaoge saw this person, he knew why Zheng He said that the shipbuilder's energy was limited, but when he knew that the old man with a small toolbox on his back turned out to be a master-level shipbuilder, he really calmed him down. This is the highest-level professional islander Yi Xiaoge has seen so far, and there are even three or four expert-level shipbuilders who have come over. It's really more popular than people, Yi Xiaoge only has two expert-level shipbuilders so far, and Hall was also upgraded to expert-level a few months ago.

Yi Xiaoge directly proposed to the old man that he could work for him, but he was directly refused. He is a royal shipbuilder, how can it be so easy to change jobs, even if Yi Xiaoge uses millions of gold coins to seduce, it will not help. It's a pity that Yi Xiaoge can only spy on it, but when he thinks that the other party has to stay on his own territory for a year, there is a chance.

"Yi Gongzi! The old decay bag is not sinking, and the order of the envoy has brought the drawings of the dragon treasure ship, please take a look! The old shipbuilder opened the toolbox tremblingly, took out a roll of gold silk cloth and handed it to Yi Xiaoge.

"The bag does not sink...... You're blowing your name too much, aren't you? Yi Xiaoge was stunned and said secretly.

Taking the scroll with both hands, Yi Xiaoge actually felt that his hands were trembling, and his heart was also excited, the scroll seemed to be emitting a raging flame at the moment, trending Yi Xiaoge to open it.

Slowly unfold the scroll embroidered with the auspicious cloud golden dragon pattern, and the virtual panel instantly popped up.

Dragon Treasure Ship (Advanced Heavy Duty):

Ship type: Heavy battleship.

Sail type: front, middle and rear nine masts and twelve sails, hard sail swivel.

Dimensions: 148 meters long, 60 meters wide, wide at the bottom, high at the top and stern, with four floors above and below.

Standard: Full load of 800 people, 168 flat fire solid guns on deck.

"I'm rubbing! Who else! ”

Yi Xiaoge couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, he could be called a giant of navigation! It is almost twice the length of the Brilliant class battleship, and there are sixty-six more guns, which is simply against the sky!

"Let's go! Come with me! ”

Yi Xiaoge pulled Bao Bushen and a baby shipbuilder to teleport directly to Wudao and went straight to the shipyard.

Hall was still studying the steel plate layout of the Brilliant-class battleship with Dean, and when he saw Yi Xiaoge coming, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and walked over.

"Your Majesty!"

Yi Xiaoge pulled Hordeon over and said to Bao Bushen: "Holdeen, these are shipbuilders from the East, this is a master shipbuilder Bao Bushen!" ”

Hordine's eyes lit up when he heard that he was a master shipbuilder, and being able to meet a peer with a higher level than his own profession would be of great help to the advancement of his profession.

"Mr. Bao! Hello! Haldeen hurriedly greeted.

Bao Bushen didn't seem surprised that he suddenly appeared on the island and the foreigners who suddenly jumped out in front of him, and said calmly: "Hello two! ”

Then Yi Xiaoge said to Bao Bushen: "Bao Lao, these two are the shipbuilders Hall and Dean who work under me, they are all my confidants, and I guarantee with my life that they will not leak half a point about the Dragon Treasure Ship." ”

"It was better to do so! The Dragon Treasure Ship is the work of generations of our shipbuilders, and I don't want it to be shamelessly stolen by Westerners. ”

"Don't worry, you come here, I think you will gain again!" Yi Xiaoge said.

After Yi Xiaofeng Ge finished speaking, he took the scroll of the Dragon Treasure Ship to Hordeon and said, "Take it and take a look, don't faint with excitement!" ”

When the young Dean heard Yi Xiaoge say this, he couldn't help but take the drawings curiously first, and Hall also came up. As soon as the scroll was opened, both of them froze, their bodies stiff in place, their eyes scanning every corner of the scroll.

After half a ring, Hall shook his head in disbelief and said, "Impossible! No way! How could there be such a shocking design in the world? How could there be such a great ship? ”

Dean wasn't any better, he kept staring at the blueprints, muttering, "What a fine drawing, what an ingenious construction, what a perfect design!" ”

Hall raised his head and said excitedly to Yi Xiaoge: "Your Majesty! Where did you get this drawing, it simply refreshed my understanding of ships! ”

Yi Xiaoge looked at the bag without sinking, and he saw the pride hidden in his heart from the other party's eyes.

"This is the highest level of ship craftsmanship from my hometown of Huaxia, how about it, is it shocked!"

Dean walked up to Yi Xiaoge with the scroll and said with his hands dancing and saying, "Your Majesty, do you want us to make it?" Oh, my God! It's incredible, it's exciting! ”

Hall took the scroll and looked at it again, and said to Yi Xiaoge: "Your Majesty, this design drawing can only be made by a master shipbuilder like Mr. Bao, and we are not qualified!" ”

Yi Xiaoge smiled and said, "Of course I know that you can't build it, my purpose is to let Bao Lao combine your shipbuilding technology in our shipyard to quickly build a treasure ship!" During this period, you can also absorb Bao Lao's shipbuilding experience to improve your shipbuilding skills. ”
