Li Yangdong has drawings, and this sentence also inspired Yang Houzhao.

Yang Tinghe thought about it and asked another question: "If you have the drawings, can you build a ship?" And what about soldiers? ”

Yang Houzhao: "......"

He looked at his teacher with a resentful gaze, this teacher was specially demolished for him, right?

Yang Tinghe: "......"

He gradually raised his head, it's really not that he wants to tear down the stage, it's that the country really has no money.

Li Yangdong said at this time: "Your Majesty, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, but if you already have a goal, it's easy to say, Rong Chen and the others will think about it in the long run." ”

This time there was no refusal, and seeing Li Yangdong's serious appearance, Yang Houzhao believed that he had spoken to the depths of his heart.

This "prodigy" is the one who wants to do something.

Yang Houzhao nodded: "The resolution came out earlier." ”

In fact, it comes down to poor money.

The tax reform has just begun, and the money has not yet been confiscated.

But Yang Houzhao wanted to build the palace at the beginning of the year, didn't he allocate 200,000 taels of silver?

Li Zhao remembered the silver, and when Yang Houzhao came back, she said that it was not negotiated, and the money was poor, so she mentioned the 200,000 taels of silver.

If you don't practice the palace to increase national defense, if the emperor can think about the country so much, he won't worry that the country is not strong.

Yang Houzhao doesn't build a new house now, so he doesn't have any nostalgia for that money.

He calculated: "But 200,000 taels of silver, how many ships can be built?" ”

Li Zhao will not calculate this price.

She only knew that in Zheng He's biography, the treasure ship was very large.

But she also knows that history is very clear that treasure ships are not used to fight, but to promote national prestige, which is big and expensive, and all the taxes may have been spent on the ship back then, so later generations hated navigation, because it cost money, a lot of money.

So how much does the boat cost, and add those treasures, if you only count the boat, you can't count it.

And the naval warships to be built must not be lost to treasure ships in size, and they must be built into "ancient versions of maritime aircraft carriers"

After the construction of the aircraft carrier, it is necessary to calculate how many small ships can be accommodated.

If there are no advanced shells and torpedo weapons on board, it will not work.

These dynasties were lagging behind for the time being, but they could make up for it, and the three battalions now had artillery shells bought or captured by the Portuguese.

However, it is also because it costs too much money, makes less, and the status of craftsmen is low, and no one is willing to study it, so the technology and drawings may be rotten, and it still costs money to pick them up......

That is, anything can be done, but the key is money.

In this way, 200,000 taels can build an aircraft carrier ship with advanced equipment, and one or two is about the same, which is a bit less.

Yang Houzhao, or the emperor of the dynasty, prides himself on being rich in resources, and what he likes to pay attention to most is pomp, and if you ask him to build an army with only two boats, this is not a slap in the face.

Yang Houzhao listened to Li Zhao's accounts, sat behind the desk and frowned, and said: "Otherwise, if you don't build it, you will build two ships, and I am such a big country, and the Heavenly Empire will build two ships?" Set it aside. ”

If it is shelved now, I am afraid that the old path of history will repeat itself.

Li Zhao said: "Long live the Lord, accumulate a lot of water into an abyss, although the initial construction is small, but it is the beginning, if it is not built, then hundreds of warships will really be in vain in the future." ”

Yang Houzhao still frowned and didn't speak.

Li Zhao walked behind him, hugged him from behind, and said: "Long live Lord, the enemy of man is not others, it is himself, and the country is the same, you are the helmsman of the country, you must know your family background clearly."

There is no shame in two boats, and it is terrible to know that there is no money but dare not face it.

Besides, the treasury has no money, and it's not the emperor who is disgraced?

Those Manchu civil, military and privileged nobles are even more disgraced than you. ”

Because the country is also theirs, whether the emperor is doing well or not is their face.

His wife's gentle body made Yang Houzhao's resentful and powerless mood suddenly brighten, he looked back at Li Zhao and said with a smile: "I understand, then I will build two ships for the time being, and I will tell the world." ”

****

As soon as the imperial list of the political secretary came, all the ministers' houses and important ministers' studies were discussing one thing.

That is, is it necessary to build a navy, there are only two ships, and there is no shame in losing it?

Let's talk about whether it is necessary or not, how can the nobles in the capital care about the suffering of the coastal people, and some people will scold the emperor for having no money and tossing around.

"Pass the sea area, how many times a year can the Japanese invaders come?

The Japanese only robbed the money near the sea area, and went back after robbing, and they would not come to the Central Plains, after all, they were a clown who jumped off the beam, and it was necessary to build a special navy to fight the clown? ”

But there are also officials from the coast or kind people with compassion and compassion: "If such a clown country can't clean it up?" That's even more pathetic.

And the coastal peoples were not the people of the dynasty? It's all Chinese......."

There are supporters and opponents, and there are different opinions.

Besides, is there a shame in losing two ships?

The country is so big, of course it is a shame to have two ships, but it is even more shameful for the emperor to build only two ships.

So people with lofty ideals began to raise donations for the navy, and they really scraped together tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The money is less, but with this fundraising, at least the navy has not yet been established, its reputation has become big, and it has also received the support of many people, which makes Yang Hou do one thing, he is not afraid of many difficulties in doing serious things, he is afraid that he will not do it with low eyes, and he is now full of confidence in the success of this army.

All the money was handed over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, and no one was left behind in building ships and weapons, and recruiting troops and commanders.

Compared with the hardships at the beginning but also full of energy, the support of the coastal people for the army in the back was what surprised Yang Houzhao.

When recruiting troops, the coastal people heard that the emperor wanted to protect their homeland, and some people contributed their strength, and the merchants smelled the "smell of interests" and willingly spent a lot of money.

It is only to support the establishment of a navy, only to support the lifting of the maritime embargo, and only to hope that the country will be prosperous.

Of course, that's all for later.

As soon as the decree was issued, there were still many voices of doubt.

There are "four water towns" in the capital, the southeast Baozi River, the southwest Taiping Lake, the northeast Houhai, the northwest pond, each according to a corner, and the pond is the most famous, because there is an ancient temple called the Pure Industry Temple, so it is also called the Pure Industry Lake.

Although Jingye Lake is a place to wash horses, it leads to Yuquan in the north and reaches Sanhai in the south, and the source is lively, so the lake water is clear and clean, and there are no gnats in summer.

The long willows along the lake are draped, and the red and white lotus flowers in the lake are endless, and it is a good place to escape the summer. Rich internal supervisors, mostly in the lake to build other industries, the most famous one is the Hongzhi period, the momentum of the great great Li Guang built, but also built a bridge named Li Guang Bridge.

Before Li Guangqiao, there was a separate courtyard, which was actually the self-residence of the feudal kings in various places, and the feudal kings were not allowed to leave the fiefdom without being called, but occasionally they would enter Beijing during the New Year's Festival, so they had a place to live in the capital.

In order not to provide a courtyard for the vassal kings, the emperor turned a blind eye and let them buy a house.

In the second home of the annex, in the dim living room at this time, a conversation was going on.
