Jiang Yifan's face was overjoyed.

A hundred ships.

The order of 100 ships is enough for his Yifan shipyard to survive, and with this "government order", it can also establish a strong enough reputation of Yifan Shipyard, plus there is a new ship type of "New Continent".

Yifan Shipyard has a bright future.

And.

Jiang Yifan is a top student who graduated from Daohua University.

It is a new generation of Ming racists who grew up with Emperor Zhu's theory of "the battle between yellow and white living space".

He knows very well that the focus of this "battle for living space" is not in the Northeast and Siberia, nor in Southeast Asia, nor in Australia—these territories are in Daming's mouth, and they can be bitten down in one bite.

The key to competition.

It's in the New World!

From the Ming Dynasty to the time when he only got Guangdong Province, and even Emperor Zhu had not yet ascended the throne, he constantly sent explorers and navigators to the sea to explore the shipping routes to and from both sides of the Pacific Ocean.

Now he has successfully found a suitable landing spot on the west coast of the New World.

In the future, the Jinshan Governor's Mansion will inevitably become a key area for the Ming Dynasty to export excess population.

A hundred?

This is just the beginning.

There will definitely be more orders in the future.

And

Jiang Yifan also knew that it was impossible for him to swallow all of this fat by himself.

"Your Majesty, just relying on our Yifan Shipyard, we can't manufacture so many New World types in a short period of time, we are willing to disclose the design drawings and manufacturing process of the New World ships, so that all the shipyards in Daming can work together to complete the comprehensive consolidation of the Jinshan Governor's Mansion as soon as possible."

Emperor Zhu had a smile on his face.

He is worthy of being a graduate of Daohua University.

is worthy of being the protégé of the Son of Heaven in the new era.

This consciousness is high.

However, Emperor Zhu will not let his subordinates lose money.

"It just so happens that the [Patent Law] is currently under review by the House of Representatives, and you have applied for patents for all the design drawings and production processes of the ship type, and as long as you produce a New World model in the future, you can extract at least 5% of the ship fee from it!"

Jiang Yifan was overjoyed.

He knows his character too well as the "Teacher of Heaven".

He is a natural trader, and he will never take anything from his subordinates for nothing.

It's not

Now Jiang Yifan can even lie down and eat directly on the old book of the New World.

How many shipyards were there in the Ming Dynasty?

If the Ming Dynasty wants to make great efforts to develop North America, then the New World ship type will be mass-produced.

So.

The benefits you can get are also enough and big enough!

"Student, thank you, Lord Longen!"

Jiang Yifan immediately made a big salute.

Emperor Zhu waved his hand and said, "Yifan, I was very optimistic about you at the beginning, and now I can design a ship type like the New World, which shows that I have a good vision." But don't lie on the credit book and eat the old book, I estimate that this new continent ship type can be used for more than ten years, and it is estimated that it will be eliminated. ”

What Emperor Zhu said was not alarmist.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has entered industrialization, the powerful productive forces that burst out from the first industrial revolution will drive the development of everything.

With the great development of the metallurgical industry and the machinery industry.

The price of steel is getting lower and lower, and the efficiency of steam engines and even steam turbines is getting higher and higher.

When the time comes.

Fully steam-powered tin ships capable of crossing the Pacific Ocean will definitely appear.

Until that time.

The transitional ship type of sail steam hybrid boat will soon be phased out.

Jiang Yifan's face turned grim and said, "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, we have already begun to design and develop a new ship based on complete steam power. ”

Emperor Zhu nodded and said, "The efficiency of the reciprocating steam engine is still too low, have you ever heard of the steam turbine?" ”

"I've heard that when I was in school, there were students from the mechanical department who were discussing the design of turbines, and I heard that Dean Watt was also working on this."

"It's going to be a very promising direction."

Jiang Yifan nodded and said, "So. The student shipyard could instead seek to work with their classmates and teachers at Daohua University to develop a practical turbine. ”

Zhu Daohua nodded and patted Jiang Yifan on the shoulder.

Then he looked at the huge New World ship No. 1 in the harbor.

This is the ship that originally carried the dream of a new continent of the Ming Empire.

It was the hero ship that allowed the Jinshan Governor's Palace to support the initial and most difficult stage.

On the ship back to Zhongdu.

Emperor Zhu, Lin Minghe, and Zeng Adaa stood at the bow of the boat, followed by a tiger-headed young man.

The young man was about ten years old, standing next to him honestly, but his eyes were not honestly looking at both sides of the strait, and when he heard Emperor Zhu talking with Lin Minghe and Zeng Ada, he couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.

"Minghe, this time you are asked to retire from the prefect of Fuzhou and go to the New World to be the governor of the Jinshan Governor's Mansion, this is not to exile you to the New World, you are very clear about the significance of the New World to the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Zhu said while holding on to the side of the ship.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, I think about it, or you go to the New World is the most suitable, you are young, and you joined very early, you are the first batch of talented officials in my Ming Dynasty, I also studied at Guangdong University, I also have a little understanding of the overseas situation, and I have been in the prefect of Fuzhou for several years, and my performance in all aspects is good, among the prefects, I am the young talent I pay the most attention to."

When Lin Minghe heard this, his face showed excitement: "The minister knows, the emperor asked me to go to Jinshan, which is the trust and importance of the minister!"

"You understand, this Jinshan Governor's Mansion has a lot of things, to manage the distribution of immigrants, tuntian, and most importantly, to organize the defense of the collective farm, and the situation in the Northeast is slightly different, after all, the Northeast is already the territory firmly controlled by my Ming Dynasty, except for a few fishing and hunting tribes, there is no power that can threaten the collective farm, but in the New World, in North America, whether it is the indigenous nomadic tribes of the New World near Jinshan, or the Americans, the British, the French, or the Spaniards in the south, It is possible to use force against the Jinshan Governor's Mansion, and the situation will be very complicated and difficult. ”

Lin Minghe nodded solemnly.

As the first governor of the Governor's Mansion of Jinshan.

Lin Minghe knew very well that the things he needed to accomplish were the most and the most difficult.

But.

Emperor Zhu entrusted him with this most difficult thing.

Wait for him to come back from the Golden Mountain.

If nothing else, he will directly enter the cabinet as a cabinet secretary, and then he may go to the northeast, northwest, or Nanyang to be the governor for a few years, and then he can become the prime minister of the cub.

Lin Minghe is only 23 years old now.

After such an experience.

Nor will it be more than forty years old!

Prime Minister not more than forty years old.

That's a lot of promise.

"Your Majesty, I am also a showman, can you also give me an official and let me go to Jinshan with my brother."

The young man on the side looked at Emperor Zhu expectantly and said.
