As soon as he sat down and drank a cup of tea, Wang Quan urged the fat man to take him to the shipyard to see the drawings of Zheng He.

This unprecedented, arguably the world's largest wooden sailing ship, never really existed.

This question has been bothering modern scholars for a long time, because they felt that it was impossible to build a wooden sailing ship of this size and still go to sea.

Because in their opinion, it is impossible for anyone to take out the keel of more than 100 meters, because in modern times, the only way to find a big tree with a length of 70 or 80 meters that can be used is only in Daxinganling.

But they didn't think that this more than 100-meter tree that could be used was nothing in ancient times, but it was just difficult to move.

After Wang Quan saw the drawings of Zheng He, he studied them for more than two hours, and then ran to the fat man with red eyes and shouted: "Get me a 140-meter usable timber, not a tree 140 meters, but a 140-meter part, hurry up and get me to make Zheng He for you!" ”

"Okay! Isn't it just a 140-meter tree! I'll ask someone to find you along the coast, and if you find it, it's hard to find a tree that's 140 or 50 meters old in modern times, and it's not easy to find it in this era! ”

The fat man never thought how difficult it was to find a tree of more than 100 meters, you know, in the fat man's hometown, there was once a pine tree that grew more than 70 meters in just a few decades, less than a hundred years,

Even the trees that are less than a hundred years old are so tall, not to mention Africa, which still belongs to the wild world, there are more trees!

Seeing that Wang Quan couldn't wait to run back to study the boat map, the fat man hurriedly stopped him, he was very curious, the shipyard was full of Portuguese-speaking shipwrights, how did he communicate with people, and he planned to take someone to build Zheng He.

As soon as Wang Quan heard his question, he looked at him with disdain and said, "I said, Mr. Chen, Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, do you know how many talents you have under your hands?"

OMG! A few big black men actually talked to me about the Three Kingdoms in Chinese, and they would also use French to tell the shipwrights about Nuwa to make up for the sky, which is also too talented, and now even one or two worship Guan Gong in the shipyard, oh my God! I was only there for two hours and I almost got messy in the wind! ”

"Isn't it just the Chinese and allusions of such a talented person that you have taught you?"

The fat man was stunned, no! Most of the black men who entered the shipyard were Nina's subordinates who were sent by Nina to rotate on the grassland, and they had already rotated all these blacks who were still in Dingyuan City.

These, all taught by Nina?

It's incredible!

Not long after Wang Quangang left, he was glad that Yuan Ping and the four of them had returned, and they also went out to walk around the city for more than two hours, and now they came back with solemn expressions on their faces.

The fat man called for tea and asked, "What?" Look at your very bad faces! ”

Happy was the first to speak: "This city is not very well built! If it was a trading city, it could have been closer to the sea, but now it is more than four kilometers from the sea;

If it is said that it is afraid of others coming to attack, afraid of the artillery on the ship, then it should be ten miles back,

At a distance of four kilometers, after speaking, the breech guns with a larger caliber are enough, and it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources to transport the goods from the dock here.

Now the conclusion is that this city will not work, either it will expand to the seashore, or it will be moved back, and it will not be a matter if it is inserted in the middle or not! ”

This was said very reasonably, and he was glad that he was a former governor and had his own unique opinion on things, so the fat man asked, "Do you think we should go to the sea or move back?" ”

Instead of answering immediately, he asked first, "How many people do you have now?" How many sites are there? Is it just this one, or is there somewhere else? ”

The fat man wouldn't hide anything from them, because they were just gamers, so he told the truth: "I only have this city now, and another island that no one has visited yet,

But I've given that island to my wife, Katarina, and now it's called Katerina, and that's all there is to it.

However, I think you still want to ask about your future plans.

It is probably not yet to the Sixteenth World, or before 1499, and even Columbus did not go to America.

But I don't think he will go again in the future, because what he wants to go to is the East, and I have already scattered the map of the East to Europe.

Where America is, only I know. ”

The fat man paused, and then said: "So my plan is to go to Nanzhan Buzhou first to rebuild the Nanming Kingdom, and then go to the Americas, and occupy all these places, and then say, the land is big and there are resources!" ”

Happy groaned and asked, "Why don't you build your country in Africa, but instead go to Australia?" You know, it's not that the land of Africa is not rich, but that everyone doesn't want them to be rich, otherwise with this vast land, rich species, and extremely rich mineral deposits, isn't this a big treasure land? ”

The fat man stretched out his hand and pointed outside and said, "Didn't you notice that there is no Chinese person in this Dingyuan City except for the six of us?" Is the Nanming Kingdom without Chinese people the Southern Ming Kingdom of the Chinese?

I don't want to work hard to get the country out but end up embroidering wedding dresses for others, how aggrieved it is! ”

The Europeans are a little bad, that is, they don't have an emperor.

Or if there is, that is the pope, the king is their king, and the pope is the king of the kings, and the kings of Europe want to ascend the throne, and they have to let the pope send a bishop to be crowned, otherwise no one will admit it, it's so exaggerated, so the fat man doesn't like them very much.

Although he told Xing Ke Liang and the other five that this was a game, he knew that it wasn't here!

You have to build your own country and pass it on! He doesn't want an Oriental to build a country where all of them are Europeans except for the emperor, in case one day the Pope is unhappy with his children and grandchildren, and sends a word, then these Europeans will get his children and grandchildren down!

Compared with this group of Europeans who do not recognize the emperor and recognize the pope, the fat man still believes in the Orientals.

And where are the Orientals, Da Ming!

As long as he re-establishes Nanming in Nanzhan Buzhou, that is, Australia, then there is still a great hope of recruiting Chinese;

You know, the land there is much, much bigger than the whole of Daming! When the time comes, the land will be allocated in one move, which will be enough to attract some families who have too many children and can't eat enough!

What a tempting idea to have a piece of land of your own.

"In that case, there must be a military city here that can withstand the attack of people, after all, you are too far away from Australia, no, Nanzhan Buzhou, if someone here robs your city, wait for you to get news in Nanzhan Buzhou, I am afraid that the war here has ended I don't know how long." Said happily.

At this time, Li Dalun also said: "This city is not good, as long as the breech cannon with a larger caliber can bombard the city,

Therefore, this city cannot be used as a military fortress, but another city can be built in the rear, where troops can be stationed, and if there is any war here, it can be quickly supported from the rear!

Now that you have occupied the Cape of Good Hope, you should simply occupy a larger one and make this place a province. ”

"Also, it's quite incredible that there is no fort built in this city, is it up to someone else to fight it?"

"Mr. Gao ...... just now" Before Li Dalun's words were finished, he was interrupted by happiness.

"Just call me Mr. Gao, I look like I'm thirty years old now, you call me Mr. Gao, it makes me feel very awkward!" Said with a happy smile.

The fat man also smiled, this is indeed very awkward, "It's better to call the official name!" It's okay to call it Gao Shangshu, or Gao Daren! ”

"Okay! Master Gao just said that he wanted to build a city in the rear, and that was because he heard that there was no food around this city, which was very dangerous! ”

Li Dalun continued: "If a force actually puts its own food lifeline into the hands of some merchants, and it is also in the hands of European merchants, it is an act of death.

If people want to have any idea about this place, as long as the sea passage here is blocked, then the people in this city can only starve to death except surrender, which in the military aspect, there is no other word to describe it except to say death. ”

"So I agree with Lord Gao's proposal to build another city in the rear, and, I suggest, between this Dingyuan city and the dock outside, a fort must be built to repel the hypothetical future enemy."

This is true, the previous grain was all transported by the fat man from the modern era, but the fat man can't transport a lifetime of grain for this city! So, it's important to be self-sufficient.

"Good! This matter will be handed over to Gao Shangshu and Li Shangshu.

In addition, you must have seen that my group of recruits are not very good, and they are okay to pretend, but if they really want to fight, it is enough to choke;

From today onwards, you will arrest the military, and I hope to see a force capable of fighting in a short period of time! ”

The fat man continued: "Yuan Shangshu didn't have anything to say? ”

Yuan Ping frowned and thought for a while and said: "I have nothing to say, I am from the Ministry of Industry, but what I saw just now is the matter of the Criminal Department, is it considered an overstepping of my authority when I said it?" ”

The fat man couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and the others couldn't help laughing.

only laughed so much that Yuan Ping was confused: "What's wrong?" ”

The fat man said while having fun: "I said Yuan Shangshu, alas! Let me tell you so! I'm just a few officials in Nanmingguo, and the six ministries haven't been put together, so the powers are quite chaotic, you can say whatever you see, and when will I get another one who understands the law to come in, let him be a secretary of the criminal department! ”

Yuan Ping was a little embarrassed by their laughter, so he had to say: "Then I'll just say, I went to the street just now, and I actually found seven or eight fights."

Two hours! There have been seven or eight fights, and the guards just watched when they arrived, not talking, I just want to ask, is there a law in this city? ”

The fat man blushed a little when he was asked, and said with a wry smile: "This is really not, so, in the past few days, a few of you have figured out a feasible law, I know that you are not from the law department, but first formulate a rough one, and it is not suitable to change it slowly later." ”

"I'll get a legal expert in after a while, Ke Liang, what's your problem? Look at the frowns! The fat man asked Ke Liang, who had been frowning since he came in.

Ke Liang saw that he was asked, so he said: "I am from the household department, so I am in charge of money and food!" So I want to ask, where is the money and food? ”

"I just went to see the market, there are taxes, but I heard that the money received was handed over to Mrs. Caterina, so, does it mean that the money in Madame's hand is the money of this Dingyuan City?"

Belch! The fat man asked, thought for a moment and said, "This matter is very important, so let's do it!" In the future, the tax will be under the management of the household department, and as for how to manage it, you can discuss it and come up with an idea before telling me. ”

At this time, a person suddenly rushed in from outside the door, and the fat man saw that it was Ethan, who shouted excitedly: "Lord Earl, Arthur has returned, and he has captured a ship and more than a hundred people, and more than a hundred pirates!" ”
