Chapter 372: Reward Six Warships
Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "Dad, we don't know where the other party is, how do they know that it was our people who detained their people and property? Besides, Daddy, look at these golden treasures, each box has a different style, it is conceivable that they must have been looting everywhere, but they accidentally bumped into our hands, which can be regarded as the way of heaven."
Zhu Gaoxian said as he opened a mahogany box, and saw that there was a box of pearls of the same size, he took the box in his hand, picked out a box of miscellaneous gems, and handed it to the dog behind him, "Send it back to the princess."
This time, Zhu Di didn't say anything, but urged his son, "Pick a little more, see if it's useful?"
Zhu Gaoxian turned back and forth, saw two pieces of good jade, handed them to the attendant beside him, and shook his head, "It's nothing, don't forget to send 100,000 taels of silver to the army, so that Wang Ning and their side can treat the soldiers."
"What is 100,000 taels? Can Daddy afford this money?" Zhu Di said angrily.
When Huang Yan came back, Zhu Gaoxian had already left, and he was going to have a good talk with Chara.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid sent those jewels to the queen mother, and the queen mother was very happy, saying that she wanted to invite the silver house masters outside to come in and make a few pieces of jewelry."
Zhu Di waved his hand, "Whoever you invite to fight, don't spoil the good things!"
Zhu Di circled around the treasures of this hall, turning around, he put his hands behind his back, he seemed to be very calm on his face, but it was difficult to calm down in his heart, he asked Huang Yan, who followed him like a tail, "The ancients said that the gold belt of murder and arson, you say, this is really true, right?"
Huang Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, how can this old ancestor's words be wrong? I don't know which one is not afraid of death, and hit the muzzle of our Daming's gun, this is really the mold of his ancestors for eight lifetimes!"
Grabbed all the way, and the property that was finally snatched up, as a result, all the Ming people were cheaper!
Zhu Di laughed and threw a handful of gold coins to Huang Yan, "Reward you!"
"Oh, Your Majesty, slave and maid thanks!" Huang Yan was caught off guard, hurriedly held the gold coin in his arms, and those that fell to the ground were also pulled into his arms.
Wang Ning handed over Chara to Saihazhi, who imprisoned him in prison and could not find anyone who could speak his language.
Zhu Gaoxian came to the Imperial Prison, and the lights illuminated the cell as bright as day.
Challa stared at the incandescent lamp overhead, and for a long time, he couldn't come back to his senses, Portugal's technology was ahead of its time in all of Europe, but they still used gas lamps.
After he got on the dock of Daming, he was brought here by Daming's car, and Daming's car was not the same as the Portuguese car, it was very fast, and it did not emit that black gas.
You know, at this time, Europe was shrouded in a layer of black fog, and many people died of suffocation, including some rich people.
They all said that this was God's punishment for the use of technology by human beings, and Chara, who originally did not believe it, saw the blue sky above the Ming Dynasty, smelled the fragrance of flowers floating in the air, and saw the healthy complexion of human faces, he felt that maybe their technology went in the wrong direction, and they would pay a price that was not equal to the results.
In his previous life, Zhu Gaoxian's English was still very good, his skills were very good, and in ten years, he had also been to many places in Europe, mainly on business trips.
But he didn't speak Portuguese, and he didn't know what country Challa was from.
"No translation?" Zhu Gaoxian asked.
"Your Highness, the minister is guilty, this interpretation is really too difficult to find."
Zhu Gaoxian said in English, "Where are you from?" Challa was shocked, Portugal and England were on the west coast of the Atlantic, and the early advent of the Age of Discovery made Challa very familiar with England and naturally spoke their language.
When Challa finally found someone with whom he could communicate, he was so excited that he grabbed the cell door with one of his remaining hands and began to speak to Zhu Gaoxian in English.
Over the course of several hundred years, many English pronunciations and usages have evolved somewhat, but it is generally not difficult to communicate.
As Zhu Gaoxian expected, Europe turned out
The palace industrial revolution has begun, more than 300 years earlier than history, just when he thought that the Ming Dynasty would be ahead of world history and leave Europe far away, in the far west, but God favored the people there.
Over the years, Zhu Gaoxian still remembers the world news that the system once broadcast to him, "[World News: Joao, the founder of the Avish dynasty, founded a nautical school to contribute to the nautical cause, and the beautiful one system rewarded him with a beautiful woman]".
Zhu Gaoxian did not know much information from Challa, only that Britain and France were still at war at this time, but it did not prevent them from developing their own industries, and Portugal was the first country in Europe to initiate the industrial revolution, and their king João I led this industrial revolution.
Coming out of the dungeon, Zhu Gaoxian instructed the dog to prepare for the car, he was going to Zhigu tomorrow, and then he went to the palace and told Zhu Di what he had learned.
Zhu Di looked at the map, his eyes kept moving back and forth between the country of Daming and Portugal, half a world apart, one in the eastern hemisphere and one in the western hemisphere, why are these people so bored and have to come here?
Isn't it good for each of us to live a good life at home?
"And what do you think?" Zhu Di asked his son.
Zhu Gaoxian expressed his worries, "Dad, my son is worried, will that Joao I, like his son, have had the opportunity to dream for 10,000 years, otherwise, he is an illegitimate child, for no reason, where did he know about these technologies?"
"Historically, every industrial revolution has had its inevitability and great contingency. My son asked, and the industrial revolution of this dynasty in Portugal was the same as that of his son, and many technological products were created by João I, including the use of gas."
Zhu Di saw his son's worries, he put his hand on his son's shoulder, and said solemnly, "Son, you don't have to worry too much, they have a total of seven ironclad ships, all of which fell into our hands, and we only used three destroyers to solve them and rob them of their spoils."
Zhu Di took a deep breath and said, "There won't be anything like that in your dream again, there won't be any more!"
Zhu Gaoxian relaxed a little, he smiled, and also realized his nervousness and nervousness, "Son heard that their Pope Alfonso. Morality. Bolgia said that the West is Spanish and the East is Portuguese."
It's really the same as history.
Zhu Di only felt very angry, and said with a murderous aura, "If they dare to come, we will let them come and go, and in the future, when your missile system is built, we will be with them for a while!"
This is exactly what Zhu Gaoxian is worried about, he has always been afraid that Joao I, who has a golden finger, will lead Europe, or Portugal will lead the Ming Dynasty, what if they are the first to make the atomic bomb?
The next day, Zhu Di accompanied Zhu Gaoxian to Zhigu Port, a group of workers had already boarded the ironclad ship, were visiting everywhere, saw the emperor and the four princes coming, they saluted first, and some workers said to Zhu Gaoxian, "Your Highness, their shipbuilding skills are not as high as ours, and in another ten years, they will not be able to catch up with ours?"
"What's the difference?" Zhu Gaoxian asked.
"Their powertrain is not as advanced as ours, and they should have used welding technology, but those gaps were patched with a material, which was very unreliable. They came from such a distant place, a total of seven ships, and the grass people saw that four of them were loaded with supplies, and the fuel was coal."
These workers rarely have the opportunity to see ironclad ships from other countries, which is also Zhu Gaoxian's order, so that all the design and manufacturing personnel should go to the ironclad ships to visit and learn.
All the people are very excited, they will be elated when they see the place that is not as good as the Ming Dynasty, but they will be very unhappy when they see the technology that is slightly better than the Ming Dynasty, or the same technology as the Ming Dynasty, and they have to think about countermeasures, how to catch up.
This made Zhu Di very happy when he saw it, he waved his hand and said to Hou Xian, "I will give you one of these six warships, and you will transform and sell them, and the silver you get will be used to reward those who have made outstanding contributions and improve your treatment."
As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered, and everyone knelt on the ground and shouted ten thousand
Hou Xian also knelt down, "Thank you, Lord Longen!"
"Thank you, Lord Ron!"
Zhu Di was obviously excited, he cleared his throat, "Your Fourth Highness, since you saw these ironclad ships, you have been sleepless day and night, for fear that the country's industrial technology is ahead of the Ming Dynasty, I told him, don't be afraid, the Ming Dynasty is not only His Royal Highness the Four Princes, there are thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, everyone works hard, everyone thinks about me, the Ming Dynasty will always be invincible in this world!"
Zhu Gaoxian looked at his father's back and felt very heartwarming.
On the way back from Zhigu, Zhu Di had another understanding, "Back then, after the Battle of Jingjing, my father was thinking, after this battle, the country was ruined, Zhu Yunwen would definitely not leave anything good for his father, and my father didn't know how many years it would take for the country to become rich and strong?"
Zhu Di waved his hand today, and a costly ironclad ship was sent out, which was heroic he never imagined, when his father Zhu Yuanzhang was so worried about 100,000 taels of silver that he wanted to give up the palace to the palace, and he was already expanding the inner treasury.
The Zhigu warship base was full of cheers, if this ironclad ship was sold with a little modification, it would cost 780,000 taels of silver, and if the cost was removed, it would be able to earn at least 500,000 or 600,000 taels of silver.
Hou Xian is also thinking about this problem, how to spend this money, discuss it with His Royal Highness, take out 100,000 taels of silver for investment, set up a foundation, and reward the children studying on the base?
