Chapter 448: Maritime Trade Goes Smoothly

Cao Chong and Jiang Wei, who had completed the task, returned to the Hanzhong Marquis Mansion and saw Cao Jie and Lin Chuan walking in the garden with their stomachs up.

"Teacher, teacher!"

"Teacher, sister!"

After Jiang Wei and Cao Chong greeted Lin Chuan and Cao Jie, they came to Lin Chuan's study to wait.

"Lang Jun, you go to the study first, and I'll take a walk in the garden by myself."

Cao Jie said softly to Lin Chuan beside him.

"Okay, Jie'er, slow down, wait for me to call Xiaoyue over."

Before Lin Chuan returned to the study, he called Cao Jie's personal maid Xiaoyue over and asked her to accompany Cao Jie to continue walking in the garden.

After returning to the study, Lin Chuan smiled at Jiang Wei and Cao Chong: "The construction of Hanzhong Vocational Training College and the renovation of water conservancy facilities have been successfully completed, right?" ”

"Yes, teacher."

Jiang Wei and Cao Chong said to Lin Chuan at the same time.

A moment later, Deng Ai, who learned the news that Jiang Wei and Cao Chong had returned to Hanzhong, also came to the study of the Hou Mansion.

After Deng Ai arrived, he found that Cao Chong was reporting to Lin Chuan on the construction and teaching of Hanzhong Vocational Training College.

“...... Next is the teaching situation of the new branch of Hanzhong Vocational Training College.

Because of the previous teacher training experience in Yizhou and Youzhou, the teaching situation of the teachers in the newly built Hanzhong Vocational College is not much different.

It is expected that this batch of new trainees will successfully graduate from Hanzhong Vocational Training College in three years......"

An hour later, Cao Chong will report to Lin Chuan in detail about the construction process of Hanzhong Vocational Training College in Dawei, as well as the teaching situation of the teachers of the college.

After Cao Chong reported on the situation of the Hanzhong Vocational Training College, Jiang Wei also began to report to Lin Chuan on the renovation project of water conservancy facilities.

"Teacher, the water conservancy facilities renovation project, with the support of the Great Wei Shi clan, has been successfully completed.

At present, all the water conservancy facilities that have been completed have been put into use, and no problems have been found in any county.

According to the use of water conservancy facilities after the renovation project, the agricultural officials in various localities estimate that by the time of this year's autumn harvest, the grain output of Dawei will increase by about 10 to 1 and a half. ”

After reporting to Lin Chuan on the problems encountered in the construction of water conservancy facilities and the solutions to them, Jiang Wei finally summarized to Lin Chuan.

"Yes, that's not much different from what we expected."

After listening to Cao Chong and Jiang Wei's reports, Lin Chuan nodded with satisfaction and said.

Now that the two projects that are very important for the future of the Great Wei have been completed, the next step is to see the progress of the construction of the treasure ship at the Yangzhou shipyard.

There is also the production speed of naval guns produced by the Yecheng R&D base.

After listening to Jiang Wei and Cao Chong's reports to Lin Chuan, Deng Ai was also happy for the outstanding performance of the two friends.

After listening to the report, Lin Chuan began to introduce the manufacturing of treasure ships and naval guns to the three of them.

Because during Lin Chuan's stay in Yecheng, the progress of the construction of the treasure ship reported by Yangzhou Shipyard to Cao Cao could also be known at the same time.

There is also the casting of naval guns in the Yecheng R&D base, and Lin Chuan can also know it from Cao Cao's mouth.

"Now the construction of Hanzhong Vocational Training College has been completed, and the renovation of water conservancy facilities has been successfully completed.

Next, the division will send a letter to Zichu, and the Hanzhong branch and production base in Yangzhou can already start construction. ”

Lin Chuan first talked about the next step of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, and then began to mention matters related to maritime trade.

"There are six treasure ships under construction at the Yangzhou shipyard.

And after each treasure ship is built, it will be equipped with naval guns at the same time.

The first treasure ship built at the Kure Gunn Shipyard has already tested the power of naval guns on treasure ships. ”

As soon as Lin Chuan mentioned the treasure ship equipped with naval guns, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and Cao Chong's eyes lit up.

"The power of naval artillery on the treasure ship is only less than 10% different from that on the ground, and the accuracy is 30% worse.

However, this is all a minor problem, according to the current power of the naval guns, even if the treasure ship is hit by more than three naval guns, it will not be able to avoid the end of the shipwreck. ”

Lin Chuan saw Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and Cao Chong, and was very interested in the power of the naval cannon, so he mentioned the power of the naval cannon on the treasure ship by the way.

After listening to Lin Chuan's introduction, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and Cao Chong all had a yearning look in their eyes.

Then Lin Chuan continued to talk to the three about maritime trade.

"It is expected that by the beginning of next year, the construction of six new treasure ships loaded with naval guns will be completed.

In this way, the formation of the first ocean-going trading fleet of the Great Wei was completed.

The route of maritime trade and the object of trade were discussed with the king of Wei when the division was in the palace of King Wei in Yecheng, and the navigation route and trade object were determined. ”

After a while, Cao Chong, Jiang Wei, and Deng Ai in the study had great expectations for Lin Chuan's statement that the maritime trade would begin early next year.

At the end of this year, at the time of the autumn harvest, Dawei once again ushered in a bumper harvest.

As previously predicted, this year's grain output has increased by about 10 percent compared with last year's water conservancy facilities after the renovation of water conservancy facilities.

The people of Dawei were once again filled with the joy of the autumn harvest.

At the same time, Hanzhong Vocational Training College also welcomed a new batch of graduates.

These graduates are 2,300 students from Hanzhong who have just completed their internships at the production base.

After the autumn harvest, they will come to the Hanzhong branch and production base under construction by Liu Ba.

Yangzhou's new Hanzhong branches and production bases in various ports are only about half a month away from completion.

After these graduates of Hanzhong Vocational Training College came to Yangzhou, the new Hanzhong branch and production base in Yangzhou could be completed.

At present, the newly built Hanzhong branch and production base in Yangzhou Port have begun to carry out normal sales and production.

The six treasure ships at the Yangzhou shipyard have also been completed, and the launch of the sea trials will begin next month.

The compass provided by Lin Chuan also started small-scale manufacturing at the Yecheng R&D base.

The monoculars that Lin Chuan provided to Youzhou before were also re-produced and used on treasure ships.

With the end of this year, the Great Wei Sea Trade Fleet, consisting of six treasure ships equipped with naval guns, has officially set off for the Kushan Empire.

At the beginning of the maritime trade, the Great Wei sent off this fleet.

Cao Jie also gave birth to a healthy baby boy at the end of this year.

"Lang Jun, what's the name of our child?"

Cao Jie, who initially recovered after giving birth, held the child and whispered to Lin Chuan.

"This year will be the beginning of a new era of Dawei, why don't you name the child Qi, what do you think?"

"Lin Qi... Lin Qi... Let's call it Lin Qi! ”
