Chapter 432: Steamship
When Uncle Sun Tong was dumbfounded by Win Changsheng's success.
For a while, there was no longer any minister in the palace who dared to express his opinion and dare to refute the current policy of the Great Qin Empire.
Under such circumstances, what Win Changsheng wants to promote is naturally possible, and it is easy to promote it in Daqin.
And at the same time.
When these works of Win Changsheng are underway.
Located in the Great Qin Empire, the team sent by Li Xin to the west to explore the way has gone to another country at this time.
Well, they were due all the way west when they came.
Because along the way, after the Kangju king retreated, he killed all the people he met along the way.
So, the team that was chasing, scouting, and searching for Kangju did not find Kangju, but on the contrary, after passing through the Persian area, they came across a country that was extremely powerful in the west.
This country, if nothing else, is none other than Rome.
Well, Rome at this time, was in its heyday.
Like the Great Qin Empire, they are two great empires standing side by side in the world, located between the East and the West, and can be said to be one of the most powerful countries in the world.
It is only second to the Great Qin Empire.
At this time, after entering this huge country, the members were surprised to find that this country is strong.
Moreover, in the team, the captain named Zhang San decided to launch a friendly visit to the Roman State on behalf of the Son of Heaven of the Great Qin Empire, and then the two countries established liaison relations.
It is conducive to trade between the two sides.
The reason is simple.
After reconnaissance, they found that in this Roman country, the silk and perfume produced by the Great Qin Empire were extremely popular.
Locally, it is a serious hard currency.
In this way, Zhang San's mind was moved. ,
In their opinion.
Along the way, even if you can't find this Kangju country, if you can successfully find the trade route to this Rome.
Well, here it goes.
Wouldn't it be possible to successfully traffic the goods of the Great Qin Empire?
And, most importantly.
Among them, once you cross so many middlemen to trade, doesn't it mean that you can save a lot of money?
And just when Zhang San and the others decided to visit the official of the Roman state.
things, but some accidents happened.
Well, times will always have some limitations.
Although Rome is the most powerful country in the world, and although it was the first to create a democratic system, this country has an extremely fatal flaw, and this shortcoming is nothing else.
That is, his slavery.
In the country of Rome.
Slaves are one of the more common things.
Slavery is also a normal thing.
At this time, Zhang San and his party carried a large number of goods, all of which were exquisite silks, beautiful glassware, and in addition, there were fragrant perfumes.
And this has undoubtedly led to the birth of a greedy psychology in the hearts of local people.
At this time, a local head snake.
planned to frame Zhang Sanyi and his party as slaves, and then forcibly occupy their priceless goods, so that his wealth could suddenly increase a large part of it.
And Zhang San and them are defenseless against this.
That's it, in the middle of the night.
A team of people quickly pounced on their room, and then arrested them, which really frightened Zhang San and the others.
In the process of resistance, through the advantage of muskets, several people in the group successfully escaped, but many more were arrested.
Zhang San is the one who escaped by luck.
After escaping from the clutches of these Romans, the latter did not dare to slack off in the slightest, he took a few of his subordinates in a panic, and then with full of anger, led the few remaining people under his command to start rushing back to the Great Qin Empire.
Before leaving, looking at the towering Roman city walls in the distance, Zhang San gritted his teeth and let out an ancestral incantation.
"One day, I, the Great Qin Heavenly Soldier, will definitely kill here to avenge the dead compatriots and brothers!"
……
Great Qin Empire.
It has been a while since Ying Changsheng came up with the concept of steam-powered ships.
During this time.
Gong Chuan Shangzao is constantly conducting research, and at this time, his research has finally seen results.
After the results of the research were obtained, Gong Yi Shangzao did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and he entered the Xianyang Palace without hesitation and asked to see Brother Zheng.
At the same time, Brother Zheng was working with Ying Changsheng, looking at the latest batch of books printed in simplified Chinese characters and written from left to right in a horizontal row, used to eradicate illiteracy and for Mengtong.
It was at this time.
As the eunuch outside came to report that it was Gong Yi Shangzao who asked to see him, Brother Zheng did not hesitate at all, and waved his hand to the eunuch and said.
"Let him in!"
"No!"
The eunuch's voice fell, and then, he walked out, and after a while, Gong lost this guy, and was brought into the hall, at this time, after entering the hall, his face was full of smiles that were difficult to hide, and he opened his mouth to win Changsheng with a smile.
"Nineteen sons, happy events, great happy events!"
"Your Majesty, the minister has something important, and I want to report to Your Majesty!"
"Oh?"
After hearing the voice of Gong Lose Shangzao, who was full of excitement, Brother Zheng couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
I don t understand why Gong Lose Shangzao is so excited, and at the same time, Win Changsheng has already guessed the result through his own guess, only to see it, he said with a smile Brother Chaozheng.
"Father, this matter may really be a great joy!"
After that, he directly looked at the Gong Chuan Shangzao on the side, and then asked the latter.
"But the other day, the ship powered by a steam engine that you made was made?"
"Nineteen sons are wise, that's it, that's it!"
For a while, after hearing this, Gong Yi Shangzao shook his head again and again, his face was full of excited smiles, and Brother Zheng on the side was obviously confused by the topic of Win Changsheng and Gong Lose, he frowned a little, looked at Win Changsheng, and opened his mouth to say.
"Changsheng, what did you kid just say, this steam engine, what's going on?"
"This steam engine, installed on the ship, what is going on? Could it be that this thing can still be loaded on a ship, in this case, can it be used? Is there any danger that will happen? “
"Of course it works!"
Brother Chaozheng, who won Changsheng without thinking, said.
"And it's pretty good!"
"A ship with a steam engine is pretty good!"
