After retreating from the dynasty, Yuwen Shihong inquired about Yang Qianxue and learned that Zu Wenyuan had gone to Luoyang and was pondering a thousand-mile ship there.

It was the time when the ship was needed, and Yuwen Shihong immediately set off from the palace with anticipation, and finally arrived in Luoyang after running for a long time.

The scene I saw with my own eyes was a ship made of metal by Zu Wenyuan, which happened to have just been launched.

The moment the metal boat slid down the plank-paved landslide, it plunged directly into the Yellow River.

Not to mention manned......

You can't even float up.

Seeing this scene, Yuwen Shihong's jaw was about to fall.

"Your Majesty!"

And unconsciously, Tang Yong, who was full of competition with Zu Wenyuan, saw that Yuwen Shihong had come over in person, he hurriedly shouted, and then trotted over.

Opening his mouth is an accusation against Zu Wenyuan:

"Look at this Zu Wenyuan! It cost you 50 million dollars, and it didn't come to anything! ”

"It's all expensive garbage!"

"Such a villain is still a young eunuch of the country! The last general seriously suspects that some officials are derelict in their duties or even favoritism! ”

The stunned Yuwen Shihong silently raised his hand to close his chin, and then turned his head and pretended to look at Tang Yong quietly:

"You're wrong to blame the officials, this man...... I kept it myself. ”

These words made Tang Yong's jaw drop in shock:

"Your Majesty? How could you...... You have always been wise, how can you ...... "Why are you blind all of a sudden?"

Fell in love with this kind of goods that spend money and don't do anything?

"Hey, I'm patient, wait and see......" If it weren't for the fact that he saw the iron boat sink directly as soon as he got out of the water just now, Yuwen Shihong would still have a little confidence to help Zu Wenyuan say a few words.

For example, he was a mathematician or something.

Right now...... I want to help him speak, but I don't know what to say.

At this time, Tang Yong had already accused Zu Wenyuan of one or two hundred sentences, and over there, Zu Wenyuan was still squatting by the Yellow River, squirming silent lips, and looking at the surface of the Yellow River with a dignified and solemn look.

I don't know what he's thinking.

"Your Majesty, the last general commanded the patrol of Luoyang locally, and it happened that there was nothing to do, and Luoyang lived and worked in peace and contentment, so the last general took the matter and received a shipbuilding job from the Zhuzhu supervisor."

"Although a large ship of 500 people has not yet been built, 20 ships of 100 people have been built."

"Yo?" As soon as he heard this, Yuwen Shihong's interest rose again:

"So efficient? Take me to see. ”

Tang Yong bowed down with a face full of merit and made a gesture of "please", asking Yuwen Shihong to come with him.

But not far to the east of Zu Wenyuan's territory, there was Tang Yong's shipyard.

Twenty good-looking wooden boats have been floating on the banks of the Yellow River.

On each side of the middle of the hull of the large ship, ten "windows" were opened, and the oars were also fixed to the windows in the form of ropes.

You can see that this is a boat powered by human oars.

Yuwen Shihong wanted to think about steam-powered ships, but unfortunately the conditions in this era were too restrictive, and he couldn't do it.

"Your Majesty, this ship has twenty manpower, and two people are in charge of the direction, and if you go downwind, you can travel fifty miles in one hour, and you can maintain thirty miles in one hour against the current."

Tang Yong's introduction, Yu Yuwen Shihong is not a surprise, but people who do practical things in a down-to-earth manner must be encouraged!

"Sure enough, I didn't mistake General Tang! Not only is he brave and resourceful, but he also has such a wealth of knowledge, which I appreciate very much! ”

"It happened that the civil strife in Qi was imminent, and a large-scale Qi people intended to defect to our Zhou country, but it was difficult to cross because of the Yellow River."

"General Tang, you take the lead, according to your shipbuilding method, you must immediately start shipbuilding on a larger scale, preferably within a month, you can build a thousand ships, all over the Yellow River!"

"So that the people of Qi can cross smoothly!"

This news is undoubtedly great news for Tang Yong, and the purpose of shipbuilding is to protect the people of Qi.

How excited he was for a Qi countryman, it was hard to describe in words!

It's just that:

"Is a thousand ships too ...... If you build one now, plus the monthly delivery of materials and labor, it will be 500,000 yuan, and 1,000 will be ......."

"Fifty thousand?"

Tang Yong pinched his fingers, and finally calculated the total price he needed, but he was shocked by the number he calculated.

50,000 yuan...... The 50 million money wasted by Zu Wenyuan next door is only 10% of the total cost!

He already thinks this is a huge amount of money, let alone 50,000!

"Huh," Yuwen Shihong waved his hand lightly:

"Money is used for use, and the money is used in the right place, even if it is spent and cannot be earned back for the time being, at least my Zhou State can 'earn' the huge number of people."

"The 'value' of the people cannot be measured by money."

"Moreover, now that the Jiaodong Peninsula has belonged to our Zhou Kingdom, the coastal area is the time when a large number of boats are needed for fishing."

"The more boats there are, the more fish they can carry inland along the Yellow River and even other waterways."

"Inland people, what is it like to have never tasted fish in their lives, it can be called universal."

"I hope that after the ship is built to protect the people of Qi country, the boat can also be used for fishing, so that the people in the inland can taste the deliciousness of fish! Ha ha! ”

The coastline can be said to be something that Yuwen Shihong has been thinking about for a long time.

Now that the Jiaodong Peninsula is in his own hands, he can't destroy the Qi country, it can almost be said that it all depends on his mood!

He is in a good mood now, and he hopes to give the benefits of Da Zhou to the people first!

Extinguishing Qi is just a trivial matter!

"The last general will obey the order! I'll go back and write a letter and ask Her Royal Highness the Queen for the budget! Expand the scale of construction now! ”

Tang Yong, who was recognized for his shipbuilding skills, was just about to leave after saying his heroic words, when Yuwen Shihong suddenly stopped him with a "eh":

"Don't rush to leave just yet."

"You have been away for a long time, and you don't know that the decree of the DPRK and China has changed."

"After the matter is submitted to Her Royal Highness the Queen for approval, the money will be collected by the Treasury Temple, and the laborers need you to jointly submit to the Ministry of Industry with the local Assassin History Office, and the Ministry of Industry will issue a decree to the local government, and the laborers recruited from the local area will be dispatched one after another."

"With such a large-scale fortification, it is impossible to recruit so many people in a single place in Luoyang."

"Therefore, the DPRK and China have already been restructured in this way, and there is a division of labor, which is done by different ministries and monasteries, which is so efficient."

In a few words, Tang Yong understood the general situation of the changes in the DPRK and China, he nodded again and again, looked around the banks of the Yellow River in Luoyang, and thought of Dugu Yongye.

"The riverbank of Luoyang is about to be occupied by that guy, and if I don't do practical things, I still occupy such a big place, so I can only condescend to a corner, hum."

"The last general should go to the new shipyard in Luozhou!"

Yuwen Shihong smiled bitterly, then nodded and said, "You decide", and after Tang Yong saluted and left, Yuwen Shihong turned his head to look at Zu Wenyuan.

After chatting with Tang Yong for so long, Tang Yong went to run errands, Zu Wenyuan was still squatting by the Yellow River, his posture had not changed a bit, and he still maintained the appearance of a nerd looking at the surface of the Yellow River.

"Hey......" Yuwen Shihong sighed and walked over.
