"According to the minister's view, since it is to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, the size of the warship is too small."

Lin Hao has mastered the existence of shipbuilding technology in the 21st world, and the size of the ship Zhu Di said has a displacement of only more than 100 tons, and if it encounters a slightly larger wind and waves, it will be completely wiped out.

Although the resources of the Ming Dynasty are limited, it should not be a problem to build a small ship with a displacement of 10,000 tons.

"Such a size is the largest scale in history, if it is still small, I am afraid that it will not be made with the technology of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Di waved his hand helplessly, just like being able to take Gatling, who would make a shotgun.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as the imperial court produces silver, the Taoyuan Research Institute will be sure to build a ship with a length of one hundred and forty zhang and a width of sixty-two zhang."

Lin Hao squinted slightly and said, Taoyuan can contribute people, but this silver has to be paid by the imperial court.

A ship with a length of 140 zhang and a width of 62 zhang!

Zhu Di and the others all gasped, what is the difference between such a large ship and people standing on the sidelines and ants?

If it can really be made, the manpower and material resources consumed are absolutely astronomical.

"How much does this cost?"

Zhu Di subconsciously swallowed his saliva, if it was before, he really couldn't think about it.

"The cost of a ship is about 200,000 taels, and it can be launched into the sea in two years at most."

Lin Hao said truthfully, according to the drawings designed by the previous research, the construction period does take one and a half years, plus testing, etc., and it will take half a year to go to the sea.

Just three years with Yongle in history, Zheng He went to the West to face up.

Zheng He's face suddenly fell a little lonely, 200,000 taels is definitely an astronomical amount for today's imperial court.

Especially in such an illusory matter as navigation, His Majesty will never agree.

In your lifetime, can you stand on the land on the other side of the ocean and look at the Ming Dynasty?

"200,000 ships, it's a good deal."

Zhu Di touched his chin and thought.

Zheng He's eyes suddenly lit up with a glimmer of hope.

"Your Majesty, 200,000 taels are definitely cost-effective, and the ship is also equipped with the latest power system developed by the Taoyuan Research Institute, which can greatly reduce the sailing time."

Lin Hao said with a smile on his face.

"Merchants have never been profitable, the navigation business is for the Ming Dynasty, Lin Aiqing will build a ship for the imperial court according to the cost of 100,000 taels, if there is not enough, you will make up for it out of your own pocket."

Zhu Di squinted slightly, and the corners of his mouth outlined a curvature.

it!

This Lao Zhu is too ruthless, even if you go to the street to buy vegetables, you will cut half of it, and the boss will not break your legs, it can be regarded as a good temper.

The previous offer of 200,000 taels was indeed a bit inflated, and 100,000 taels was barely acceptable.

After all, when the time comes, casually letting the crew carry some private goods will be ten times the profit.

"Your Majesty has said so, and Weichen will no longer shirk, and he should make a contribution to the navigation of the Ming Dynasty."

Lin Hao pretended to be in pain.

"it, it's high!"

Zhu Di scolded secretly.

But he was still heard by Lin Hao, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he really wondered if Zhu Di was also like himself, a traverser.

What is the difference between this behavior and those ruffians and hooligans in the 21st century?

"Lin Aiqing has served in Taoyuan for five years, but I can mobilize the county chronicles of Taoyuan every year, and not only did not pay a cent of taxes, but deceived the court of 30,000 taels of silver as a subsidy, how does Lin Aiqing explain this?"

Looking at Zhu Di's straight eyes, the corners of Lin Hao's mouth twitched, and he was waiting for himself here.

"It's not that Your Majesty doesn't want to pay taxes, but Taoyuan's annual taxes are used for construction ......"

"Enough!" Without waiting for Lin Hao to finish speaking, Zhu Di scolded.

The water cup that Lin Hao picked up fell to the ground with a clatter.

"What are you kid having, I don't know?"

"You are limited to pay off the taxes of Taoyuan County for the past five years within three days, a total of two million taels of silver, which will be used for shipbuilding."

Zhu Di took the case and scolded.

it!

Old Yin Coins!

Lin Hao's expression was like eating, he knew that he wouldn't show off his wealth, but now he smashed himself on his feet.

Two million taels, although it is not painful, but it is also real money, and it is really heart-wrenching to let yourself take it out.

And it is also used in shipbuilding, Zhu Di is not obviously trying to prostitute in vain!

"Shihong do it!"

Zhu Di glanced at the minister of Chengguo.

Cheng Guogong and Zheng He on the side pressed Lin Hao to the ground.

Zhu Di stepped forward and snatched the previous stack of silver tickets from Lin Hao's sleeve, then stuffed them into his sleeve, raised his eyebrows and said, "The remaining one million taels will be regarded as a deposit, this million taels, when the ship is delivered, I will give it to you." ”

Lin Hao fainted directly in the toilet, what is this called, he is clearly a robber!

Zheng He was also in place, and it took a while to react, and he said why His Majesty agreed so happily, and said that 200,000 taels is not expensive, and you don't have to pay for this silver yourself, so it can be expensive.

Silently distressed Lin Hao for a second.

"Lin Aiqing doesn't have to be so frustrated, I see the contribution you have made to Daming, do you want to give you a death-free iron coupon anymore?"

Zhu Di squinted slightly and asked tentatively.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has heard that Liu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took out the death-free iron coupon given by Emperor Taizu, and the result came to your mouth, and since you have a death-free iron ticket, kill it twice......"

Lin Hao burst into tears.

"Even if it's useless, it's a souvenir, and it costs five taels of silver!"

Zhu Di pursed his lips, the matter of avoiding death is not the final interpretation right, I didn't expect Lin Hao to be so shrewd and not to be tricked at all.

Two people together have at least eight hundred hearts.

Lin Hao couldn't wait to slap Zhu Di to death, Lao Tzu's two million taels of silver went out, tell you about these five taels of silver?

"There is another thing, before the ship was built, Zheng He went to your Taoyuan County to learn the art of navigation."

Zhu Di continued.

What is taught in Taoyuan County School, Zhu Di is very greedy.

But when he thought of being reprimanded by Chen Lang in front of the people of Taoyuan that day, he dispelled the idea of poaching people.

If you can't dig up someone from you, I can't send an undercover agent to go there, and when you react, you'll regret it.

Zheng He followed himself from birth to death, and he was absolutely loyal.

"Since Your Majesty has decided, Wei Chen naturally has no objections, so he will repair a book, and Lord Zheng He can set off with the letter at any time and go to Taoyuan."

A smile flashed in Lin Hao's eyes.

He still didn't know what Zhu Di thought, and he obviously wanted to send an undercover agent to Taoyuan.

But the chess is one trick off, in the past five years, how many undercover agents went to Taoyuan County, and in the end, they were all persuaded by Lin Hao and the people of Taoyuan with virtue, and finally cried and begged to stay in Taoyuan.

Zheng He is no exception, as he is also an individual.
