Chapter 371: Building the Daifuku Ship

After the discussion, Wu Jian asked, "Your Majesty, what should these sergeants do?" ”

Most people didn't understand what was just said, and they stared at the three of us with wide eyes.

I waved my hand: "Meng He." ”

Meng He took a step forward: "The minister is here." ”

"These people are handed over to you, you can arrange them yourself."

"Yes!"

Everyone was a little uneasy, looked at each other, and a thin young man said cautiously: "Your Majesty, can the villain ask......"

"Shut up!" Wu Jian saw that it was his subordinates who asked, and shouted in a deep voice: "How can you have the qualifications to speak here!" ”

Wu Jian also has a deep affection for these people, so naturally he will not watch him ask me questions as a soldier.

The person who asked the question was not stupid, knowing that he had exceeded the rules, he quickly got up and trembled and said: "Your Majesty, the villain lost his words, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

I smiled, waved my hand, and said, "Sit down." What's your name? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the villain's name is Yuan Ye."

I nodded and smiled, "It's okay, Meng He is my close attendant, and I need you to tell you more details after passing his investigation." ”

Wu Jian hurriedly reminded: "I have this opportunity to protect Your Majesty's safety, thank you Your Majesty!" ”

Only then did everyone wake up, and they got up excitedly and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

I also stood up and encouraged, "Do a good job!" ”

"Yes!"

"Alright, you can go."

After the group had left, I took the two of them into the tent.

After sitting down, Han Xin was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you let them conduct a special operation?" ”

I laughed: "Just rely on these less than 200 people? Now there are no helicopters to arm them to parachute, and there is no sniper rifle that can take people's heads thousands of miles away, and the role of special forces in the era of cold weapons is very limited, unless there is an elite army of about 5,000 people, of course, they can kill all sides, but the imperial court cannot afford to raise it. ”

I had thought about these things before I came to them, and at that time I asked them to go to the bandits, just to find a reason to beat them.

Now it seems to be working very well, these people are equipped with firearms, and it is just right for me to be my guard.

As for loyalty or something, I believe Meng He will not take it lightly.

The two of them didn't say anything more.

"Okay, you go to Zhang Han, restore your status as a general from now on, and discuss other matters with Zhang Han."

"Yes! Greetings to Your Majesty! ”

————

Back at Zhangtai Palace, Bai Chong was waiting outside the palace gate with Tie Wu and Yu Jin.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Come in."

The four of us sat down, and I took a sip of tea and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Chong was the first to reply: "Your Majesty, Cheng Zhuo and the two clans have completed the delivery of the craftsmen, and all the craftsmen have also moved to Langya Port, and the Cheng Zhuo and Cheng clans are preparing to go to Lingnan in the near future. ”

"Well, it's fast." I thought for a moment and said: "Sima Li said that two merchant ships in Panyu Port were completed, and they were given priority to Cheng Zhuo's two clans. Now that the craftsmen have moved over, is it possible to start building the Daifuku ship? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, there are no other problems, it's just that it still takes some time to transport steel from Nanyang Iron Smelting Mansion in the past."

"As expected, let's move." I thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any problem with equipping the bronze cannon on the Daifuku ship?" ”

Yu Jin hesitated: "This ...... It is not good for the minister to make a judgment, although the Daifuku ship has reserved a place to equip the artillery, but it has not been practiced, and I don't know if the structure of the Daifuku ship can support it, and whether the bronze cannon can withstand the erosion of the sea. ”

"Let's try it, only bed crossbows, bows and arrows and the like are not enough to meet the firepower needs of the Daifuku ship, and such a large ship is really a waste if it is used to fight ordinary naval battles."

"In addition, have the lighthouses in Panyu Port, Langya Port and Qinnan Peninsula been repaired?"

Bai Chong responded: "Panyu Port and Langya Port have been built, although the lighthouse on the Qinnan Peninsula has been completed, but the height has been reduced, mainly ......"

I frowned, "Say it." ”

"Yes...... The Qinnan Inspector believed that the lighthouse could also achieve the role of guiding ships by reducing the general height, and the Qinnan Peninsula was now finally subdued by the people, and the barbarians there had just agreed with the Great Qin, and it was not suitable to sign the people on a large scale, so he forcibly reduced the height of the half-built lighthouse by half. ”

I looked at Yu Jin: "Does it affect the role of the lighthouse?" ”

"Chen has carefully checked the local topographic map, and the southern plain of the Qinnan Peninsula does not have much obstruction, and the halving is of course influential, but it is also enough to meet the needs of use."

"That's good." I agreed: "Wu Zhichong did the right thing, the Qinnan Peninsula is completely isolated from the Great Qin, and it is a place where I do not allow severe punishment and strict law, so we must convince the people with virtue, and it is indeed not appropriate to build large-scale construction." ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Okay, you guys go, the matter of the Dafu ship must be stepped up, Cheng Zhuo and the two clans...... Forget it, nothing. ”

"The ministers are leaving."

After a few people left, I thought for a while: "Summoning Feng Zai and Sima Li." ”

After a while, the two came in a hurry.

"What is the output of the Qinnan Peninsula? How much does it cost? What is the folk custom? ”

Feng Zai is in charge of Xindi, and he is confident.

"Back to Your Majesty, after several years of consolation, most of the barbarians there have surrendered to Daqin, mainly because of the various farm tools and workshops they brought, which has really improved their lives. As for output, although His Majesty ordered a light tax, only the existing taxes on the Qinnan Peninsula are already worth the land of Lingnan! There is nothing else to spend except the garrison, and the tax that the minister just said is already in addition to the money and food consumed by the Qin army. ”

"Good." I didn't expect the Qinnan Peninsula to produce so much.

"Sima Li, Cheng Zhuo and the two clans are about to move to Lingnan, you have to pay attention to this matter, and the two merchant ships built will be given priority to them."

Sima Li was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, why do you have to keep to them?" Aren't Wu Shi and Zhong Dingge more powerful? ”

"It's not the same. I gave them 100 acres of fertile land, but I didn't really let them go to Lingnan to farm. I smiled: "I hope that they can set up a large-scale workshop on this hundred acres of land for the production of sugar, rubber, tea, woodworking tools, etc., mainly to develop commerce, of course, to give them a little sweetness in the early stage, and they should be very profitable to travel to the Qinnan Peninsula." ”

Sima Li was still a little puzzled: "Then why didn't Your Majesty make it clear to them when he gave them the land?" ”

Feng Zheng glanced at me and reminded: "Don't forget, Your Majesty gave them land at that time to compensate them for giving up the iron smelting business, if Your Majesty asked them not to grow grain, what do you think they would think?" After all, the grain that grows from the land is real. ”

Sima Li suddenly realized: "The minister understands, the minister will do it!" ”

"Next month is the Great Imperial Meeting, you must prepare well for trade with Guishan, they must have some plans, and I only want to do business with them."

"Yes!"
