Quanzhou.

As always, it is prosperous, and maritime merchants from all over the world gather here, loading and unloading a large number of goods in Quanzhou Port, or going to sea, or transporting them to the inland state capitals of Datang.

Li Mu took a small team of splendid guards, and after more than a month, he leisurely took a boat to Quanzhou Port and stayed in the largest restaurant in Quanzhou Port, Hongbin Building.

It is also the industry of the splendid mountains and rivers of the palace.

Standing in the private room of Hongbin Building, Li Mu looked through the window at Quanzhou Port not far away, the entire port had changed a lot from when he left, and it had become more huge.

Looking at the past, in the harbor, there are countless sea ships docked, with different styles, which are different from the original monotonous Daifuku ship.

It seems that in the past few decades, Datang's attainments in ships have developed in the long run, and good improvements have been made on seagoing ships.

However, when he swept the entire port of Quanzhou, his eyes stopped at one port.

Then, after taking a look, he asked the maid in charge of Hongbin Building, who was waiting beside him, "Is there an iron ship headed by Mu Zi docked there?" ”

What he saw in this port was nothing else, it was the ocean-going freighters he left in the Datang plane, but he didn't expect that he could still see it after decades.

This made him a little happy.

What is a little puzzled is that these ocean-going freighters do not seem to be running, and with his eyesight, he can clearly see the rust on the ocean-going freighters, looking abandoned.

The maid in charge of Hongbin Building hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Lord Wang, what you see is indeed a steel ship that starts with a pastoral number. ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "It doesn't look like it's running?" ”

The maid in charge of Hongbin Building glanced at Li Mu and said, "So that the prince knows that it's not that the slaves and maids don't want to operate, but they really can't operate." ”

"I heard from the steward sister of Hongbin Building, who took office, that since the prince left the palace, these steel ships have been running for ten years."

"Ten years later, the commander of Quanzhou informed the third lady of the mansion that the steel ship had no fuel and could no longer operate."

"The only way is to dock in the port and wait for the prince to come back."

......

Li Mu said curiously: "Haven't you thought of other ways?" ”

Ocean-going freighters are inoperable and lack fuel, so it's just a matter of finding oil and refining it.

What's more, the people who control the ocean-going freighters are all cyborgs left behind by him, and with the wisdom of these cyborgs, there should be no problem refining fuel.

It's just that some of his thoughts are too simple.

The maid in charge of Hongbin Building recalled and said: "I heard my sisters say that at the beginning, the third lady once ordered Mufeng Firm, Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and other forces to find fuel for steel ships, and with the help of Quanzhou sailors, they did find the raw material for refining fuel, oil. ”

"However, due to the problems of technology and tools, the fuel we refine can only be used as kerosene lamps, not as fuel to power steel ships."

"It is said that after the third lady received the refined fuel oil and scrapped the two steel ships, because the steel ships were left by the prince, the third lady could not bear to scrap all the steel ships left by the prince, so she ordered the operation of these steel ships to be stopped."

As she spoke, the maid pointed to the docked steel ships and said, "These steel ships have been docked in a port in Quanzhou Port, waiting for the return of the prince. ”

After listening to the maid's story, Li Mu nodded, stopped looking at these ocean-going freighters, turned around and sat in the private room, and ordered: "After decades, these steel ships must no longer be able to operate, so let's find a way to split all the steel ships and see what else can be used." ”

The ocean-going freighter has not been used for such a long time, not to mention the internal parts, whether it can still be used, whether it is rusty, just the shell soaked in the seawater, I am afraid it is almost rusty.

Even if it still works, he doesn't plan to use it again.

If he wants to equip the Quanzhou Navy Master with a steel ship in the future, he can bring it from his own plane, and the only thing to consider is how to solve the fuel problem with the new steel ship.

This is a difficult problem, and it may be possible to bring a set of oil refining equipment from the plane.

I don't know, will the rules of this Datang plane be too stingy and disagree with him to bring it.

......

At the same time.

The maid in charge of Hongbin Building said in disbelief: "Lord Wang, do you mean that these steel ships at the beginning of the pastoral number are no longer needed, dismantled and returned to the furnace?" ”

Li Mu nodded, did not speak, but tasted the red robe of Wuyi Mountain on the table.

Speaking of which, the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain in the Tang plane is more flavorful than that in the Ming plane, pure and honest, and makes people have endless aftertaste.

This may be the difference between the mother tree of a thousand years ago and the mother tree of hundreds of years ago.

The maidservant then asked, "Lord Wang, these steel ships really can't be used anymore?" ”

In any case, these steel ships have also made Hummer contributions to the splendid mountains and rivers and the Quanzhou Navy.

In the first ten years, if there were no steel ships in the city, the Quanzhou sailors would not be so easy, and they would definitely pay a lot of price.

The maids who knew the past of these steel ships were still a little sad and unbearable to dismantle these steel ships as soon as Li Mu came to Quanzhou Port.

Although the objects are dead, the feelings of the people of the Splendid Mountains and Rivers Mansion for these steel ships are real, and seeing these steel ships is like seeing the prosperity of the Splendid Mountains and Rivers Palace.

Helpless, Li Mu replied directly: "Demolish, if the Quanzhou Sailor needs a new steel ship, this king can give some more to the Quanzhou Sailor, and these will also occupy space." ”

"It's ......."

The maid in charge of Hongbin Building glanced in the direction of Quanzhou Port and said, "Okay, the slave maid will order the prince's order, I don't know, will this demolition matter be handed over to Mufeng Firm?" ”

Since nothing can be done, she can only be executed as a slave.

Li Mu nodded and said: "All matters will be handed over to the Mufeng firm, as for how to arrange it, Lan Yun, the big shopkeeper of the Mufeng firm, will arrange it, and there is no need to hand it over to the king for preview." ”

"No."

The slave maid Wanfu received the order, and then added some tea for Li Mu.

In Quanzhou Port, the matter of the ocean-going freighter was just an episode, and after the order, Li Mu asked: "Is the ship going to Yingzhou Island ready?" ”

The maid in charge of Hongbin Building hurriedly reported: "Lord Wang, the ship to Yingzhou Wadao is ready, and the Quanzhou Navy Division also has a fleet ready to leave the port at any time to escort you to Yingzhou Wadao." ”

......

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled at the corner of his mouth.
