A battle is only half an hour. It is impossible for those ships that have escaped to escape, and in terms of ships, the strength of the gunboats is not inferior to the power of artillery, and the big cannibals are all captured, and I am afraid that it is only a matter of time.

In addition to nearly 1,000 people killed and wounded, seven or eight hundred people fell into the sea, and there were not many people left, but only five or six hundred.

It's just that the process of naval warfare that was born and ended in this short period of time was so short that many people had already come to an end before they could reminisce about it.

It was a slaughter that was enough to make people's hearts linger, and the ships of the Great Food were barely able to fight back, and even when they came with their swords in vain to try to kill, it was ridiculous.

And now that the smoke has cleared, the sea is in shambles, the wreckage of the shipwreck, the corpses floating on the sea, and the blood bubbles that keep gushing out, make people unbearable to see.

The Son of Heaven is long-faced and happy, Zhu Di has not had such a comfortable mood for a long time, he was actually in high spirits at this time, began to re-examine the gunboat, and walked directly to the gun compartment on the ground floor, just in time to see the tired gunner wiping the artillery, ready to put on the gun jacket.

When Hao Fenglou and Zhu Di came down, Li Rui, the commander of the artillery cabin, suddenly panicked, and hurriedly straightened his chest and said, "I've seen it...... I've seen Majesty xià...... I've seen Master Hou. ”

Zhu Di smiled slightly, and personally bent down to look at the cannon, the barrel of the cannon was still a little hot, although the inner chamber was rinsed with clean water and a brush, the pungent smell of gunsmoke was still not gone.

"Hao Fenglou, this ship, I want it." Zhu Di said word by word: "It shouldn't be good for people, but the imperial court needs these gunboats." Not only the gunboats, but also the great treasure ships. ”

Originally, these were to be handed over to the imperial court. Perhaps this thing is too sharp, and Zhu Di also knows that this thing must cost a lot of money, originally, he thought that the Hao family's shipbuilding does not need to cost the imperial court a penny, and the scale of this ship will not be too large, and it is estimated that it is just a sea ship.

But who knows, people have built such a big guy, and even gunboats have come out.

At this time. Zhu Di had to re-examine it. The boat came out, and it surprised him too much, the scale of the ship was too large, and the cost was really expensive, Zhu Di closed his eyes and knew how much wealth the Hao family would have to lose.

The little wealth of the Hao family, Zhu Di is clear, Zhu Di can almost imagine. In order to build such a ship, although the Hao family will not scatter all their wealth, it is enough to make the Hao family shy.

If he still takes advantage of others for nothing as before, with Zhu Di's temperament, he is a little reluctant.

Zhu Di is not a heartless and righteous person, and he may not be as selfish as Emperor Taizu. After all, he was born as a vassal king, and he can be somewhat sympathetic to his subordinates.

Of course, Hao Fenglou didn't dare to slack off, and said: "Weichen brought the boat here this time, and he originally planned to dedicate this ship to the imperial court. ”

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "Of course, these ships are dedicated to the imperial court, but what about the future?" The Haiphong shipyard also had to build ships for the imperial court. I don't want a few treasure ships, I don't want a few gunboats. It's dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, and these are waiting for you to come and make offerings? Don't worry, I won't teach you to suffer, you are heroes, where is the reason to let heroes suffer. ”

Zhu Di paused for a moment and continued, "I will ask the household department to draw up a charter, and try my best to let the household department allocate 300,000 taels of silver every year, in addition, the internal treasury will also raise more than 100,000 taels, which were originally used to build ships for Longjiang Shipyard, but now they are allocated to Haiphong Shipyard." How your Hao family builds a ship, this is your business, but you can hand over the ship when the time comes. ”

Zhu Di sighed before continuing: "With these ships, Zheng He will be able to set sail in the spring of the next year." ”

Hao Fenglou listened, and a big stone in his heart couldn't help but fall to the ground.

In fact, although the Hao family has a fortune of millions, but this shipbuilding does have a lot of losses, and the Hao family can still support it with ten or eight ships, but it has been so continuous that the Hao family is afraid that it will not be able to bear it.

Now the imperial court is willing to take out silver, which is more than 400,000 taels of silver a year, but it can be regarded as stabilizing the status of this coastal defense shipbuilding.

The imperial court said that it was an allocation, but in fact it was nothing more than an order, and the Haiphong shipyard now raised so many people that if you want to improve the ship and build a ship, you must build a dock, a steel mill, a wood mill, a cable mill, a canvas mill, and even make paint.

This is the livelihood of tens of thousands of people, and these tens of thousands of people have a monthly silver, with silver to clothing, food, housing and transportation, so it has also attracted a lot of merchants to move in, if Lang Son has now gradually become the political and economic center of Cochin, then this coastal defense mainly relies on shipbuilding.

The imperial court does not give silver, the Hao family can not afford to raise, only continue to come up with real money, this shipbuilding industry can continue, because to build ships, so it is necessary to purchase a large number of ship materials, and the people of Jiaozhi now many people rely on mining and wood picking and cotton planting to live, on the one hand, to supply Langshan, on the other hand, to supply Haiphong, almost the entire Jiaozhi has roughly had an order, Langshan and Haiphong are responsible for manufacturing, manufacturing this is naturally the main business of the Hao family. The wealthy gentry of Jiaozhi organized the prefectures and counties of Jiaozhi to provide raw materials. In terms of economic relations, these people are already attached to the Hao family, and every move of the Hao family is enough to affect the rise and fall of their family.

Therefore, if you want to stabilize Jiaozhi and stabilize the position of the Hao family in Jiaozhi, this 'order' is indispensable.

Lang Son industry is no harm, now Lang Son cloth, Lang Son wood and Lang Son iron have become famous all over the world, buyers such as carp across the river, this is not only because of the high quality of Lang Son goods, but more importantly the low price.

The larger the scale of manufacturing, the lower the cost, this is a constant truth. Take textile as an example, if you are self-sufficient, you can buy cotton and spin cloth by yourself, maybe this pound of cotton is at least 130 yuan, but if the Hao family's silk spinning is purchased, the price can be pressed to below 80 Wen, the reason is very simple, the former is retail, the latter is a batch, the former is the business that buys and sells cotton, and the latter buys cotton is the Hao family's final say, and the merchants would rather sell all their silk to the Hao family than 130 Wen to the ordinary people.

The acquisition of the link greatly compressed the cost, in addition, manufacturing, transportation links will also be the cost to the minimum, the Hao family's cloth mill is used in the latest looms, and the efficiency of the old looms of ordinary people has increased several times, not to mention that ordinary people are reluctant to dye the cloth out of weaving, even if you want to dye the cloth must be sent to the dyeing workshop, the dyeing workshop has to collect you ten or eight copper plates, but the Hao family's self-built dyeing workshop does not cost much.

The final result is that even if you buy cotton and go back to weave cloth, and finally make a few pieces of cloth, the consumption of a piece of cloth is more than 430 Wen, and the Hao family can ship a piece of cloth for 350 Wen, and then the merchants take the cloth to sell all over the place, and the price of the terminal is only more than 600 Wen, such cloth is good in color, and the texture is novel, just a little more money, you can buy, and save a lot of labor, which naturally makes people rush to it.

Now, Haiphong's shipyard can be regarded as having a firm foothold, and in the future, Haiphong will be built into a port, and its status will almost be no less than that of Lang Son.

After getting Zhu Di's letter, Hao Fenglou did not twist, and hurriedly saluted: "The grace of the father, the son and the minister remember it." ”

Zhu Di laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Let's go, go to the deck and take a look, it's strange to say, when I was just now, I was a little dizzy, but as soon as the cannon sounded, I was in good spirits, go, accompany me to see the sea." ”

Back on the deck, the ship had already set sail, because the bottom bilge held the prisoners, and the ministers and envoys could only stand on this deck, at first they were a little twisted, and then some of them simply sat on the ground regardless of decency, so everyone ignored the image and sat down directly, and many people turned their heads and ears, and were expected to be impressed by the power of the gunboat.

However, for these adults who live in temples, no matter how sharp the boat is, the shock is not big, everyone is concerned about Hao Fenglou's pursuit of Haikou, which is also a great achievement, but I am afraid that this time, Hao Fenglou's reward will not be small, so some people are envious, and some people frown.

Zhu Gaochi squinted, sat cross-legged with Xie Jin, sitting not far from him was the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, in fact, Zhu Gaochu has been much more low-key in recent days, he gradually felt a little bad as the Han King, his brother's position as the crown prince is becoming more and more stable, but he seems to have no nose and no eyes, and it seems that it is not interesting to continue to stay in Jingshi, but if he does not stay here, he will even lose the last opportunity.

He looked at the crown prince, while Zhu Gaochi was chatting and laughing with Xie Jin, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but fall to the brother who coveted the East Palace.

When Zhu Di went to the deck, everyone stood up and came to salute.

Zhu Di pressed his hand and said with a smile: "Zhuqing, how is this excitement?" ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stood up and said against his will: "This ship is sharp, it really teaches the sons and daughters to open their eyes, Hao Fenglou has made meritorious contributions to building the ship, and the sons think that they should be rewarded." ”

Zhu Gaoxu refused to fall behind, and also came out and said: "What the prince said is very true, my father, the emperor, and the sons and sons also opened their eyes today, and the sons and sons also thought that it was necessary to reward them heavily, so as not to waste the hard work of the Hao family's father and son." ”

Zhu Di just smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's discuss it with the court." ”

Hearing this, it made people gasp.

If it is a whim, it is nothing, but what does it mean when it is left to the court to discuss? What the court wants to discuss cannot be a trivial matter, is it worth discussing a little triviality? The only possibility is that this time it's really going to be rewarded.
