Zhu Jingyuan looked at the excited officials of the Great Food Country, sighed faintly and said:

"You guys, you're still too young to think about spending money on me, how much can I spend on a trip?

"You can start some new projects, such as building roads, building barracks, and building warships to maintain bases.

"At the same time, we can also add a synchronous highway project on the basis of the railway in the Mozhou Lake area.

"Build another large wharf in Mengxian County, and even build another small shipyard, a small military base.

"These are not wasted money, if you want to get rich, build roads first, there is a high probability that this money can be earned.

"The eastern part of Mozhou is a good land, and it is not a problem to reproduce tens of millions of people, unlike Quicksand City, which can't carry the population.

"But the premise of reproducing a population is that people have to have a way to go......"

The big food country is trying to spend money, but it's not spending money indiscriminately, and it can't be thrown out in vain, so it won't pass the approval.

That is, spending money on Zhu Jingyuan can be relatively free.

Liu Zhixin himself was relatively stiff, but after listening to Zhu Jingyuan's arrangement, he suddenly relaxed a little:

"Then follow Wang's idea, we will immediately plan these new projects and start implementing them as soon as possible.

"But the cost of traveling on this king has nothing to do with it, this should have been from the Great Food Country.

"No matter what, it's impossible for you to pay for it yourself, otherwise why would we make so much money in the big food country?

"The Great Food Nation has been able to grow from barren to rich and prosperous in just two years, thanks to the wisdom and wisdom of the king.

"Your Majesty, if you are too frugal, you will make the officials and people of the Great Food Country feel ashamed......"

Zhu Jingyuan blinked when he heard this.

Am I frugal?

The palace where he lived, the palace of 648,000 square meters, the royal city where the kingdom was located, 4,000,000 square meters.

Looking at the surrounding decoration, it is called a magnificent, gorgeous and exquisite.

Is this called frugality?

But after thinking about it, apart from this palace, I really haven't spent much money myself.

Usually eat and drink a little more high-end, compared with the income of the big food country, it is really not a problem at all.

I estimate that I have to build artificial islands and skyscrapers of several hundred meters in the sea to be relatively suitable for my identity.

After all, in the bay in the previous life, there was a large group of princes with a piece of cloth on their heads, and there was only one of them in this life.

The key is that he is not as good as those princes who will toss.

At present, there are only two concubines, and the total number of maidservants and servants is less than sixty.

Moreover, the fact that Da Shiguo can have the current situation is indeed mostly due to its own merits.

It's not that they have arranged for people to dig for oil, but people here are still eating sand in the desert.

In addition to oil, the technology brought by oneself and the care of the imperial court are equally important.

If they don't spend more money on themselves, these officials may feel that it is not in line with their identity.

Zhu Jingyuan felt that he understood what Liu Zhixin's officials meant, so he said helplessly:

"Okay, the cost of this trip, let the big food country finance."

Zhu Jingyuan agreed, and everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, and they all felt that they shouldn't have been entangled in this kind of thing in the first place.

Liu Zhixin immediately looked at Niu Jian and said:

"Mr. Niu, go to the Royal Passenger Ferry Company to book a ship, and book the best boat, which is the Zhoushan Island type that the king has ridden before."

Ordering the largest passenger ferry for Zhu Jingyuan at present, if you simply look at the demand, it will definitely be a waste.

If the kingdom has no money, or even most ordinary kingdoms, the first thing they will consider is whether there is corruption in what they do.

But in the big food country, in Zhu Jingyuan, this is a natural choice.

"You can rest assured ......"

Niu Jian smiled and nodded to accept the task, and left the venue early to prepare for the trip.

Zhu Jingyuan and the other courtiers continued to meet to discuss and arrange the future affairs of the Great Food Country.

Prepare Zhu Jingyuan, the pre-eucalyptus that the king is not in the country.

Determine which things need to be reported to Zhu Jingyuan, and let Liu Zhixin and other courtiers decide for themselves.

At the same time, we will discuss in detail what new construction projects will be opened.

The meeting lasted for a long time, and it was not completely sorted out until the evening.

Zhu Jingyuan was about to dismiss the meeting first, and when the discussion continued tomorrow, Niu Jian came in again.

Niu Jian took a printed telegraph and handed it to Zhu Jingyuan, and at the same time reported:

"Your Highness, the student went to the Royal Passenger Ferry Company to book a ship, and chose the 35,000-ton Zhoushan Island passenger ferry you have taken.

But the Royal Passenger Ferry replied that the schedule for this type of ship could not be arranged now.

"Because I have just dispatched one to the imperial concubine, it will take fifty to sixty days for the other ships to come.

"Now there is a 25,000-ton medium-sized passenger ship on the Moroccan side, which has just finished a trip and is repairing its route, and it is expected to come in 20 days.

"Tianzhu also has a 15,000-ton passenger ship, which has just been overhauled, and it can be rushed to Quicksand City within four days."

Zhu Jingyuan was a little surprised, but he immediately understood.

There are only five Zhoushan Island-type passenger ships in operation, one more than two years ago.

More ships of similar size, as well as larger ships of 60,000 or even 80,000 tons, continue to be built.

Normally, the Royal Passenger Ferry will set a shorter schedule for one of them, and usually run a shorter route.

In case the royal family uses the ship, it can be deployed as soon as possible.

Now that this ship has been used for its own time, and if you order it now, you will have to draw it from the long-distance route.

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously nodded and said:

"Then choose the fastest one, fifteen thousand tons will be enough."

Zhu Jingyuan imagined the temperature of "as high as 30 degrees" in Mengxian County, and then looked at the steaming palace of nearly 40 degrees around him, and wanted to leave here quickly and get on the boat to Mozhou.

Anyway, there are not a few people in his own family, and the usual servants and retinues are less than a hundred people, and even if they bring one division's guards, the total number will not exceed six hundred.

Let the soldiers all sit on the same ship as themselves, and the 15,000-ton passenger ship is still spacious enough.

Liu Zhixin asked Niu Jian to order a 35,000-ton ship purely for the purpose of setting up a score.

It means that you are rich.

But here Liu Zhixin and other palace officials are not happy.

Liu Zhixin subconsciously said:

"How can a 15,000-ton ship work, a 25,000-ton ship is too small, or the king will wait for two months before you ......"

Zhu Jingyuan said in his heart, I don't have the same day, so I subconsciously waved my hand and said a little loudly:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible......"

At this moment, Liu Zhixin and the officials were stunned, was the king's reaction a little too intense?

Zhu Jingyuan realized that his reaction was a bit big, and he coughed lightly to mediate his mentality:

"A 15,000-ton ship is completely sufficient, and there is no need to wait two months for an extra score.

"If you really want to invest some money in this, you might as well just buy a ship and use it for your own purposes."

Zhu Jingyuan thought of buying a yacht, and it was normal for him to have a private yacht.

Liu Zhixin suddenly realized:

"Your Majesty, we should indeed buy a ship directly and build a special wharf.

"The minister will arrange the budget for the purchase of ships, and he will need the largest Zhoushan Island-type passenger ferry, and he will have a customized ......."

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously wanted to say that there was no need to be so big.

Private yachts are completely different from regular passenger ships and cruise ships because there is no need to think about other ordinary guests.

The actual displacement can be three or four thousand tons, and the actual standard of living is already very luxurious.

If a private yacht gets 10,000 or 20,000 tons, it will really be enjoyed by the emperor.

Because the whole ship is so large, it is all in the service of one person.

As a result, Pan Shien subconsciously reminded:

"Liu Changshi, I heard that the largest passenger ship under construction in Daming is 80,000 tons, and it has not yet started operation."

Liu was taken aback, and then subconsciously said:

"Then if you want 80,000 tons, you need the largest ship!"

Zhu Jingyuan finally couldn't help it, knocked on the table and shouted directly:

"Stop, stop, shut up."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Although Zhu Jingyuan usually has a good temper, his prestige is also unquestionable.

Once Zhu Jingyuan becomes serious, everyone will hold their breath and wait honestly to listen to the training.

After a pause, Zhu Jingyuan said:

"Private yachts are not the same standard as public passenger liners, so don't toss around if you don't know how to ship.

"I can just communicate directly with the passenger ferry company about this matter, and I will participate in the design and selection by myself.

"Now go and order me that 15,000-ton passenger ship, I'm going to leave in five days......"

None of the other officials spoke, only Niu Jian weakly agreed.

The meeting ended temporarily, the courtiers of the Great Food Country went back to work, and Zhu Jingyuan also returned to his bedroom.

In the hot air, Zhu Jingyuan changed into short sleeves and shorts, wrote and drew under the fan, and planned his yacht.

The standard of living is relatively easy to determine, increase the scale on the basis of the existing yacht, and then install air conditioning.

The air conditioner had to be put out.

In addition, he is not an ordinary person, and his yacht cannot be an ordinary yacht.

There must be enough defensive weapons to be able to carry enough escorts.

It is better for the yacht itself to have some defensive power and have to be armoured.

It's better to be faster, at least 30 knots, with steam turbines and oil-fired boilers.

However, in order to achieve this need, instead of loading weapons and armor on the yacht, it is better to install yacht facilities in the cruiser.

The defense level of the cruiser is still not enough in front of the battleship, so it is better to change it directly with the battleship.

With the hull of the battleship, without large-caliber main guns, the defense of the entire turtle shell was strengthened.

The space inside the armored box is arranged for living and recreation.

But wouldn't it be a waste to do so?

And if you don't install the main gun, you won't have the power to fight back against the battleship......

At the same time, although the hard defense of battleships has been improved, the reconnaissance capabilities are very weak, and it is impossible to detect dangers in advance.

It is better to rebuild an aircraft carrier with battleship armor boxes.

However, the armor and main guns limit the size of the ship's hull, and also greatly limit the size of the hangar, and the number of aircraft that can be carried will definitely be very limited.

And isn't this thing just an air battleship?

It is better to match a normal battleship with a normal aircraft carrier.

So let's just build a whole fleet.

Anyway, Daddy gave the Big Food Country the index of eight capital ships.

Directly engage in a naval fleet to escort themselves on their trips.

Zhu Jingyuan wrote down the word "fleet" and then the word "navy."

After estimating the cost of this fleet and comparing the cost of purchasing passenger ships, Zhu Jingyuan's expression slowly stiffened.

The money party is on the top, and it belongs to the ......

Zhu Jingyuan sighed, crumpled the paper in front of him, threw it into the trash, and began to think again.

Then Zhu Jingyuan soon found out that this operation seemed to be adding money to the top, but it could actually save money.

It's not impossible to build a naval fleet, and I already had a plan to build a navy in the big food country.

It's not impossible to travel by fleet, and it also saves money to buy a yacht.

Anyway, the fleet has to be trained in peacetime, and the big food country is not short of fuel.

As long as you are in the core compartment of a battleship, you can reserve a dedicated room for yourself.

No, these rooms don't even need to be dedicated, after all, you don't often cruise by boat.

When you don't use these rooms, you can find other ways to use them.

For example, as a command center for the fleet.

It is possible to specifically strengthen the ship's combat command system, add sufficient power generation equipment and more living space.

When not in use by itself, this battleship is a professional command ship.

The life of such a special battleship was supposed to be very long, and even if ordinary battleships were eliminated, it would probably remain in service.

After careful consideration, Zhu Jingyuan basically determined the direction.

Then the specific hull design and the formation of the Great Food Nation Navy fleet began.
