Zhu Qiyu waited for a whole day, and finally waited for Zhu Qizhen's meeting when he was out of work.

"Qi Yu, seeing that you have been talking and stopping today, and the affairs of the DPRK and China are heavy, I will have time to ask you." Zhu Qizhen sat on the warm couch tiredly, and his bones were about to fall apart.

"The imperial brother is dealing with real state affairs, and the younger brother knows the severity, and it is already the younger brother's sin to disturb your rest at this time."

"Who did you learn this from, and you're starting to make sycophants? Let's talk about it, has there been progress in going to the West? Zhu Qizhen also guessed a little.

Zhu Qiyu's eyes really lit up and said, "Imperial Brother Shengming! That Ruan Lang had already installed a well-modified steam engine on the ship, and after launching into the water, it was really amazing! It can run all the time without sleep, which is far beyond the work of manpower! ”

A reserved smile appeared on Zhu Qizhen's tired face, "It's not worth mentioning, Jin Ying, Ruan Lang has a meritorious research, you give him a credit, let him continue to work hard, and strive to make a better machine." ”

The brothers chatted for a long time about some preparations for going to the West, and the Tianjin shipyard at this time had begun to take shape.

Zhu Qizhen also agreed with Zhu Qiyu that when the shipyard was completed, he would go to see it in person and unveil the first treasure ship to be launched.

Zhu Qiyu naturally thanked him for leaving, and went to his mother's place according to the usual practice, and drank two glasses with his mother.

Concubine Wu saw that her son was happy, so she explained the reason, and Zhu Qiyu, who listened to it, said that she had done these big things.

Concubine Wu was happy in her heart, and she was also happy for her son, so she didn't regret her original decision.

"You're happy, but if you really want to sail away, my mother is always at ease.

Seeing that Ji is so young, you better let the others go to explore the way first, and then go when the time is right! Concubine Wu thought about it and persuaded her.

Zhu Qiyu is surrounded by a strong sense of happiness, where can he listen to the worries of his mother,

"Mother, rest assured, the Three Treasure Eunuchs were able to lead tens of thousands of people to sea back then, how could your son be worse than him, I must let Daming be the overlord of the sea!"

At that time, I will be the uncrowned king of the sea!

Concubine Wu also heard it, but she was still a little worried about her son's ambitions

, did his original support hurt him?

The mother and son are excited, worried, and each has their own words, all in order to make the future better.

In April of the sixteenth year of orthodoxy, Zhu Qizhen arrived as scheduled and personally went to Tianjin Shipyard to unveil it.

What was once a small port has now become a large port covering thousands of acres.

As for the shipyard, it is even more outrageous, sitting on tens of thousands of acres of land, of which there are more than a dozen docks for the manufacture of treasure ships alone, and even more for the smaller slipways.

At this moment, in the dock, treasure ships are quietly parked there, and not far away is the sea water that has been brought in and separated by only one person.

The dock is recorded to be invented by Zhang Ping of the Song Dynasty, in 977 A.D., Zhang Ping served as the worship officer, supervised Yang Pingdu wood and shipyard, and lived in Yangping Town, east of Baoji City, Shaanxi Province.

At that time, when building a ship by the Wei River, it was easy to be washed away by the water, so I had to send one boat and three households to guard it, and thousands of migrant workers were recruited and transferred a year, which cost the people and money.

Zhang Ping then ordered the migrant workers to dig a large pit on the shore and build a boat in it, and after the boat was built, dig a hole, divert water into the pit, and the boat floated up and sailed into the river.

Tai Hang is called "Dock".

Just wait for Zhu Qizhen to give an order and put the seawater in, so that the treasure ship can enter the sea along the prepared waterway, and from then on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, reaching the other side of the earth.

Zhu Qizhen stood on the first treasure ship, gently stroking the giant ship under him, after 20 years, the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty finally saw the light of day again.

"Qi Yu, how do you settle the people by the sea?" Zhu Qizhen's voice trembled slightly, but he was still thinking about the people whose land had been expropriated.

"Brother Huang rest assured, all the people who have lost their land, who are willing to come, are working in the shipyard.

Those who did not want to buy their land bought their land at a price higher than 20% above the market price. Zhu Qiyu explained.

Zhu Qizhen was relieved that he was really unwilling to build the Huangming Shipyard that he advocated for himself, and Tianjin Port would have the problem of demolition and relocation in later generations.

Fortunately, with Zhu Qiyu, the prince, staring at him, he finally didn't embarrass the royal family.

Jin Ying followed: "But I almost drove the old slave crazy."

I didn't expect this shipyard and port to cost so much! Thanks to the new income of the Mining Department and other divisions, the emperor is strategizing

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, slave and maid admire! ”

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Jin Ying, this Jin Ying did not forget to show himself, and then praised the emperor's wisdom by the way, killing two birds with one stone.

"You old thing, is this a reward from me?" Zhu Qizhen laughed and scolded.

"The slave doesn't dare, it's just that I feel sorry for His Majesty's internal money, and now that the money has been spent, although you don't feel distressed, the slave and maid ......" Jin Ying said and was about to shed tears.

"Okay, okay, why did you start wiping away tears? If the money is gone, you will earn it again, and if you have all the divisions, you are not afraid that there will be no money to spend in the palace.

I promise you that I won't be spending any more money in the near future. Zhu Qizhen looked at an old eunuch who was about to cry, and got goosebumps.

Although he knew that Jin Ying was for his own good, he was inevitably distracted.

Jin Ying was overjoyed when she heard this, "The slave obeys the order!" With the words of the Long Live Lord, the slave maid has thousands of difficulties, and it is finally not in vain for the emperor to manage the inner treasury. ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't say anything to the happy Jin Ying, his eyes looked into the distance, and at this moment, the treasure ships everywhere were already full of people, waiting for him to give orders and launch the new ship.

After all this preparation, only when the ship was successfully launched could it be regarded as the end of the stage.

Zhu Qizhen stood at the bow of the ship in high spirits and took over the treasure on the side, which was the latest achievement of the R&D department.

Although the size has not been changed, the body of the gun is made of alloy, which is stronger than iron and more durable.

The crimson lacquer adheres to the surface of the firebolt and shines in the sunlight.

Zhu Qizhen held the fire gun high and hit it hard, with a loud bang.

The workers who had been ready for a long time began to open the gate between the dock and the waterway, and with the sound of a tooth-souring sound, the steel station door slowly lifted, and the sea water instantly poured into the wide waterway, like a flood peak.

But even with such a violent water, it could not shake the hull of the treasure ship, and the treasure ship wrapped in iron and painted with several layers of lacquer remained unmoved like a mountain in the waterway.

In a short time, the tooth-sore valve had been fully raised, and the water was pouring into the dock without any hindrance.

As the water level rose, the treasure ship finally began to move, and began to shake gently under the impact of the current.
