Chapter 465: Into the Water
A few days later, the newspaper published the news that the navy was about to go to sea again.
When the people saw it, they were really happy!
"God help me, the navy is also going to sea, when the time comes, we can follow the navy, and we will definitely be able to reach the South Seas smoothly!"
"Yes, yes, we have to hurry up and stock up on food, and when the navy goes to sea, we can also go to sea smoothly!"
"Then how can the navy let us follow?"
"You can rest assured, the vast sea is not anyone's house, the navy can go, we can naturally go!"
"That's it! It's a big deal, let's follow from afar! ”
"It's not necessary, if the court doesn't want you and me to follow, it won't publish the departure date in the newspaper at all!"
"That's right, since the imperial court has made the date of going to sea public, it is equivalent to acquiescing to our follow!"
"Uh-huh......!"
Most of the people who could buy steamships were monkey spirit merchants.
Their brains spin faster than a spinning top, and when they see the newspaper, they immediately react!
In the next few days, the grain, water bags, cloth, and stoneware in the counties sold exceptionally well!
Everyone has heard that the natives on the island are stupid, and if you use these worthless things, you can exchange them for gems the size of eggs!
Although I don't know if it's true or not, I have to be prepared, once this is really the case, and they have nothing to exchange in their hands, won't they suffer?
Anyway, these things are not valuable, even if they can't be exchanged, they can be brought back and used at home!
The people who bought the steamship were ready to set off from Weishui and go to the South Seas with the navy, and a large number of sailors and sailors gathered here, driving a lot of Xianyang's economy!
At the beginning of March, 3,000 navies officially boarded the ship, followed by civilians.
The whistle sounded one after another, and the hearts of the onlookers trembled, and the scene was extremely shocking!
The crew of the ship kept waving goodbye to the people who were seeing them off on the shore.
This also includes Wang Ben, Zhang Han and others.
They are all important ministers of the DPRK, and it is definitely impossible to go to sea in person, even if they are willing, it is impossible for Yingzheng to agree!
As soon as they left, there was no one in the three provinces and six ministries.
Do you want him to do those trivial things in person as a bare-bones emperor?
Doesn't that exhaust him to death?
So most of the people they are looking for are their own relatives, the kind who are loyal and honest, and they can work hard to help them work on the island!
In addition, they also adopted Ying Feiyu's dividend system, which means that the more spices they pick, the more money they can share.
In this way, are you afraid that they will not work hard?
Seeing their ship go farther and farther, and finally turned into a small black dot and disappeared from sight, Wang Ben and the others retracted their gaze!
"Alas! When can we go out and walk around! ”
"Yes! Last time, I heard from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about what I saw and heard at sea, it was really fresh, and we can go and see it when we can! ”
"No! I'm looking forward to this day! When the time comes, we will blow the sea breeze and drink Wuliangye, and we will feel ...... beautiful when we think about it! ”
Meng Yi suddenly sighed, which immediately resonated with several other people.
"Not only us, Your Majesty is also waiting for this day!"
"Your Majesty?"
"Yes! His Majesty has said before that when the prince goes to sea next time, he must follow! ”
"Haha! No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not follow him when he went to Nanyang twice, because he was afraid that His Majesty would go with ......! ”
Several ministers suddenly came to their senses.
Several major moves of the imperial court before were led by the crown prince.
The last time thirty steamships went to the South Seas, it was the first time for such a large scale, and they still wondered why the prince didn't go this time.
It turned out that I was frightened by His Majesty and didn't want to take His Majesty with me!
"I don't know if it's the reason, anyway, Your Majesty once said this!"
"Haha, it must be! For no other reason! ”
"After we retire, we will be free, we can go anywhere, but Your Majesty can't, as long as we have a breath, we have to fight in the imperial study!"
"Bah, bah, bah, you old man is really getting bolder, you dare to talk about Your Majesty! If you are listened to by someone who cares, you have a good-looking ......! ”
The more people talked, the more they talked about it, and they even mentioned Yingzheng.
Kang Anping suddenly lost his words and quickly closed his mouth!
After the mighty ship entered the water, Xianyang City suddenly fell silent.
The shipyard began to build the next batch of steamships, and the people began to prepare for spring ploughing!
Living up to expectations, the first batch of steamships had also been built before the spring ploughing.
Huang Yuan happily ran to the other garden, but he didn't see Ying Feiyu.
I ran to the newspaper office, the wine shop and the cloth village, and found that there were none of them, and finally entered the palace and found Xiao Zhengtai, who was playing chess with Yingzheng.
The silver tickets in front of him were already stacked thickly!
"Father, the sons have told you, the sons and daughters are taught by the master, and the world is unparalleled, you don't believe it! At the beginning, I won Guiguzi with this hand, and I persuaded him to go out of the mountain! ”
Seeing Huang Yuan coming, after the two ended the game, they did not continue.
Ying Feiyu smiled proudly while counting the silver tickets.
has nothing to do, Yingzheng has to find abuse, the more Xiao Zhengtai warns him, the more he stimulates his strength to not admit defeat!
In desperation, Xiao Zhengtai had to agree to play with him, but there must be a bet!
In the end, I won these silver tickets in my hand.
Look at Yingzheng's old face again, it's not black!
After killing for most of the day, he didn't even win a single set, and he was killed miserably, it's really evil!
I think he also started learning chess since he was a child, how could he still lose to a hairy boy?
"Why are you here?"
Ying Zheng, who was holding back his anger and had nowhere to spill, turned his target to Huang Yuan, and asked in a cold voice, which frightened Huang Yuan with a spirit.
If he knew this was the case, he wouldn't have come to kill him.
The next time you enter the palace, you must have a long memory, you must read the yellow calendar!
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the first batch of steam tractors has been built and can be officially put into use!"
Even if his scalp is numb, Huang Yuan has to report it normally.
"Oh? Built ......? ”
Hearing this, Ying Feiyu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Today is really a double happiness!" ”
"Hmmm! It's really fast, and I didn't delay the spring ploughing! ”
Ying Zheng, who had a black face, somewhat softened his face after hearing the news.
The steam tractor is thirty or forty times more efficient than the current farming, and it is also a prerequisite for the liberation of labor.
Although the first batch should not be much, it is a good start!
As long as the first batch is successfully applied and gradually accepted by the people, the popularization will be much faster after that!
"Since there were no special factories for production, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen was not mature, only a hundred steam tractors were built in the first batch!"
"Hmmm! Not a lot! ”
"Take me to see!"
Yingzheng, who lost a lot of money, was depressed and wanted to take this opportunity to go outside the palace to relax.
"Yes......!"
