Chapter 303: Flying Clippers
"It's probably because the minister has matured and is no longer as naïve as before." Sheng Guanping chuckled, "Speaking of which, the minister did a lot of transgressions, if it weren't for His Highness's benevolence, how could the minister continue to do things for Daqin." ”
"What's that, only friends can have such a good relationship." Zhao Qingrui looked at Sheng Guanping.
"It is an honor for the minister to be a friend of His Highness." Sheng Guanping said respectfully.
"We're so familiar with each other, there's no need to be so kind of in private." Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.
After becoming the prince, she was basically busy with the affairs of the court, but the relationship with these friends became more and more distant.
Sheng Guanping was silent and didn't speak, the situation is completely different now and before, okay.
If he really dares to be as presumptuous as at home, his life will come to an end.
Seeing that Sheng Guanping was reluctant to say more, Zhao Qingrui didn't force it, since she knew that she was the daughter of the First Emperor, everything had changed.
But even if she is not the daughter of the First Emperor, she and Sheng Guanping probably won't be able to get together.
-----------------
After leaving the uncle's house, Zhao Qingrui went to visit Yin Yan again.
Yin Yan is now back at work, and what she has done in Di Bao is still very good.
"I don't know what happened to my father's side? Meng Yang was not injured. Yin Yan propped up her cheeks, and her mood was a little sluggish.
Zhao Qingrui chuckled, "Are you worried about your father, or are you worried about your husband?" ”
"Looking for a fight, I can't worry about it all?" Yin Yan glared at her, but her ears were quietly red, and she was a little embarrassed.
"What's so embarrassing about this, you just ask me directly, I know." Zhao Qingrui joked, people in this era are still too subtle.
Suddenly, she was a little envious of Yin Yan.
"Good little sister, tell me about it." Yin Yan immediately sat up straight and grabbed Zhao Qingrui's hand, with a bright flattering look in her eyes.
"Don't worry, my father and Mengyang are very good, now attacking the Xiongnu coalition army, Mengyang is with the king and leaving them, and now they are surrounding the Xiongnu coalition army." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
She has full confidence in this war, after all, under absolute strength, no matter how smart and capable Mao Dun is, he can't turn the tide of the war.
"I heard my mother say that the people of the Meng family lead the troops to fight, they like to take the lead and always rush to the front, alas, I sometimes hope that Meng Yang is not a general." Yin Yan sighed.
"Don't worry, Mengyang is amazing." Zhao Qingrui reassured, practicing physical skills for so long, if Meng Yang still died in the war, it would be a waste.
Enjoying so many resources, Meng Yang's strength was countless times stronger than those ordinary generals.
It's just that Yin Yan doesn't know this, and she is still secretly worried about Meng Yang at this time.
Zhao Qingrui's comfort, she didn't take it to heart.
Seeing Yin Yan's sad expression, Zhao Qingrui hurriedly changed the topic, "I haven't seen Cong'er for some days, and I don't know how he is now?" ”
"He's fine, he can eat and sleep." At the mention of her son, a gentle smile appeared on Yin Yan's face again.
"I'll go see him with you in a moment."
The two sisters were chatting in this office, Zhao Qingrui came over, and no one else dared to disturb them.
By the time I got back to the East Palace, it was already evening.
When she came back, she saw Lu Pheasant coming to her with a bunch of government affairs.
"Why are there so many, I remember that I had already taken care of everything when I left." Zhao Qingrui looked at this pile of things in pain.
"Your Royal Highness, it is related to the development of Liaodong County, and the prince of Fusu is in the book, this is his own development plan." Lu Pheasant said seriously.
"Big brother's development plan, I'll take a look." Zhao Qingrui cheered up.
Zhao Qingrui picked it up and read it carefully, and there were more than a thousand criminals at once, and Fusu first asked these people to open up the wasteland.
The population of Liaodong County is sparse, and it is definitely not enough to rely on Qianshou to open up wasteland.
These more than 1,000 people can't play much of a role, but it's still very good to use it for labor reform.
Looking at Fusu's plan, Zhao Qingrui's brows gradually frowned.
In these plans, the local nobleman Tian clan was mentioned several times in a row, and Liaodong County needed a large number of people to develop, and Tian, they had people, and they were even willing to fund the imperial court to develop Liaodong County.
However, these people did not help in vain.
"Tian's family, it seems that the Qi royal family is the concubine's surname, Tian's, interesting, hasn't the eldest brother thought about it?" Zhao Qingrui muttered.
"I want to obtain the monopoly right of salt in Liaodong County, and I also want to manage the post office and the newspaper office, which is called beautiful and shares the worries of the imperial court." looked at this one by one, and made Zhao Qingrui laugh.
Needless to say, the post office is dedicated to transmitting information to the imperial court, especially important official documents, and the importance of the post office is self-evident.
In addition to the official newspapers, the newspaper office is in charge of public opinion, and in addition to the official newspapers, some local newspapers are also beginning to be printed.
To grasp the news channel, to grasp public opinion, these people have a good calculation.
Look at the recital written by Fusu, just let two people enter these places and ask for the right to operate salt.
It's easy to say, Zhao Qingrui wants to pry open Fusu's head and see what he thinks.
Looking at what they are willing to pay, in addition to sending hundreds of people to open up wasteland, they are willing to contribute to the construction of schools in Liaodong County, and they are even willing to provide dozens of masters for local schools.
Good guys, just turn the school into your home.
Fusu also said in the book that he had already discussed knowledge with those people, and there was no problem with those people's knowledge, and he even praised those people's knowledge.
What do you say, these people feel that the road is far away, so they didn't come to participate in the assessment of 100 officials, otherwise these people would be more than enough to be a doctor.
Fusu was also immersed in the joy of discovering talents, and felt that these people were willing to continue to cultivate more talents for Daqin, which was a good thing for pie in the sky.
"You say, why is the eldest brother still so naïve?" Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.
"The prince of Fusu is also working hard to develop Liaodong County." Lu Pheasant is not good at complaining about Fusu.
"This matter is directly dismissed, the matter of refined salt is fully responsible for Pinghuai Ling, the eldest brother's move is overstepping, as for the school, Zhao Wen has already cultivated a lot of students, these people are enough to serve as masters, and Daqin's education does not need to be worried about by any family." Rubbing his eyebrows with a headache, Zhao Qingrui directly dismissed the matter.
If you want her to say, this Tian family is uneasy and kind.
Vainly trying to control Daqin's sources, control entertainment, and even control Daqin's future talents.
One by one, this is digging the foundation of Daqin, and the ambition is simply not too obvious.
"You say, should I send someone to assist the eldest brother?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Lu Pheasant, wanting to see if she had any good ideas.
"His Royal Highness's original intention is also to experience the Fusu Gongzi and send people over, what is the purpose of the training at that time, the Fusu Gongzi needs to have a far-sighted vision and a decisive and calm mind." Lu Pheasant said seriously.
"You're right." Zhao Qingrui pondered for two seconds, Liaodong County, let Fusu toss by himself.
It was already a few days before the rejected recitals were sent down one by one, and then returned to Fusu's hands.
And at this time, Zhao Qingrui, she was meeting Sui Shicong.
"Your Highness, your subordinates came back this time because they wanted a big ship, and Your Majesty has agreed." Sui Shicong looked at Zhao Qingrui with blank eyes.
His heart has already drifted across the ocean, and he yearns for the outside.
"I know about this, my father has talked about it, and I have prepared it for you." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Sui Shicong was pleasantly surprised.
"Are you in such a hurry, do you want to leave immediately?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Sui Shicong and knew that this guy was bent on running outside, and he couldn't be idle.
"Yes, if you want to go to Lingnan as soon as possible, the people you bring over must also be familiar with the water, you must understand all kinds of things at sea, and the people you bring over must practice, I have to hurry up." Sui Shicong briefly said his plan.
"These things are really important, by the way, this is for you, precautions and compasses at sea, you are going to sea for the first time, you have no experience, these two things are here, they will definitely help you a lot." Zhao Qingrui took out a booklet and a compass.
This compass is only the original version, and she didn't buy it from the system mall, but someone from the Mo family made it.
Only the precautions at sea were bought by her, and she didn't understand sailing.
"By the way, there is also this, you can take care of the map yourself, so as not to get lost at sea." Zhao Qingrui took another map and gave it to him.
"Thank you, Your Highness, this has helped my subordinates a lot." Sui Shicong happily took away the things, these things can reduce a lot of trouble for him.
"I just hope you come back safely." Zhao Qingrui smiled and shook her head.
This guy is like a traveling frog who brings her a lot of good things every time she goes out.
Every time I come back, I can't stay long, and I have to set off to explore the world with a salute.
"My subordinates will definitely be able to come back and bring back some more good things for His Highness." Sui Shicong said seriously.
After Sui Shicong left, Zhao Qingrui let go of her worries, this guy is willing to go to Lang, although she can also provide him with more help.
But she still didn't do it, she let her do everything, what was the point of his trip.
Sui Shicong went out this time, and she also asked him to train more experienced sailors.
In the past, Daqin didn't pay attention to the ocean, and the ocean was an insurmountable barrier for them, and they never thought of crossing the ocean.
Now that it has begun to pay attention to it, the experience of the voyage can only be cultivated slowly.
Thinking of the big boat, Zhao Qingrui thought of a good thing.
"Hui'er, you go to Sui Shicong, let him not leave Xianyang in a hurry, I still have something to explain to him, let him rest for a few days first, and go find Suling first." Zhao Qingrui hurriedly said.
"No." Hui'er left Zhangtai Palace quickly.
Soon, Su Ling was hurriedly called.
"Come here, giant, you've been studying shipbuilding for a while, I have something good to show you." Zhao Qingrui waved excitedly towards Suling.
She didn't understand shipbuilding, but she knew a lot of good things, so she exchanged a good thing directly from the system mall.
Now that the steam engine has not been made, the existing big ship and the big ship made by the drawings of Zheng Hebao's ship that she took out are still not fast enough.
There's no way she's going to redeem a steam engine from the mall, so she's going to have to think of something else.
That's right, it's the famous scissor sailboat.
I almost forgot about this good thing, but with this sailboat, the time spent at sea would be greatly reduced, and a lot of dangers could be avoided.
Doubts flashed in Su Ling's eyes, but he still walked over obediently.
His Highness has brought out the drawings again, and it must be a good thing.
The things that Zhao Qingrui took out, there are no useless things, they are all good things.
This also made Su Ling look forward to it, and he didn't know what kind of surprise His Highness was going to give him this time.
"Look at this drawing, this is called a flying scissor sailboat, although this kind of boat is not big, and it can't hold many things, but it is extremely fast." Zhao Qingrui enthusiastically introduced this thing to Su Ling.
A clipper is a sail-powered sailboat, and the main difficulties in building this kind of boat are two points, the hull and the sails.
There is no shortage of timber in Daqin, and as for sails, although there is no super sail with high strength and light and waterproof such as carbon fiber, it is easy to weave a strong sail from linen to imitate the Age of Discovery.
Su Ling took the drawings and looked at them carefully, and during this time, in order to build more warships, he also learned a lot of knowledge about ships.
"This is impossible, it is impossible for such a ship to float!" Su Ling's eyes widened.
The ship with such a structure is different from the style of the ship they have come into contact with, and Su Ling is also experienced, and he has never considered such a hull structure.
I just think that this design is too whimsical, since it is necessary to sail in the sea, then the ship must have a deep draft, and it must sail steadily.
And the design of the clipper ship, whether it can stop at sea is a question, let alone sailing at sea.
"The giant can make a small one and try it first, I can still coax you to fail." Zhao Qingrui didn't care about Su Ling's questioning.
Such a structure is indeed more advanced than the existing ship structure of Great Qin, and it is normal for Su Ling to feel that this design is unreliable.
"This, building a ship alone, requires a lot of money, and it will delay the manufacture of warships." Su Ling hesitated.
"It's okay, I'll pay for it myself, and you can let someone build it for me when the time comes." Money is not a thing, since she became the prince, she suddenly found that she didn't even have a place to spend money, and someone would send her whatever she wanted.
"Okay, there are still some people in the Mo family who are idle, and the ministers will let them build them when the time comes." Su Ling said seriously.
He has confidence in Zhao Qingrui, but this time, he is still a little bottomless in his heart, and he is ready to wait for the construction time, he will put more thought into it.
"Okay, then you can bother more, if it's possible, I need to build more." Zhao Qingrui smiled and nodded.
"I understand." Su Ling said respectfully.
