Chapter 177
"This ship?"

Gongshu Shangzao couldn't help showing surprise when he saw the design drawing of Zheng He's treasure ship in front of him.

Then he shook his head and said.

"This boat looks quite big, and the size is not small, but I don't know what will happen after it goes into the water."

"Of course there will be no problem after getting into the water!"

Ying Changsheng said without thinking.

It must be no problem. The Zheng He treasure ship can sail all the way from Asia to Africa.

Suffice it to prove its robustness and suitability.

I only heard Ying Changsheng speaking in a commanding tone.

"When will the ship be built now? Don't worry about the money. You don't need to spend a lot of money. The treasury master will pay you!"

"In addition, tell all the craftsmen that as long as the boat is built, I will reward you a lot."

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Winning a long voice fell to Gongshu Shangzao in the next game, and after thinking twice, he opened his mouth and said.

"If the financial resources are sufficient, craftsmen are also available, and if the wood is suitable, it will take at least three to five months. Of course, this is the first time to build a ship of this style, and there may inevitably be some accidents and delays. time..."

"understood."

After listening to the latter's explanation, Ying Changsheng nodded slightly and understood.

He opened his mouth and said.

"Don't worry, this is the first ship, first train the craftsmen so that they can master the techniques of making treasure ships proficiently, and also check to see if there is anything that needs to be checked and filled!"

"If there is anything, let them bring it up and speak freely. As long as the questions they ask are real and practical, and can really transform the treasure ship, I will give you a lot of rewards!"

Ying Changsheng said very generously that he is indeed not short of money, and the most lacking of money in the current Great Qin Empire may be that he has already lived forever.

If you choose the richest man in the Great Qin Empire at the moment.

Then he is definitely well-deserved to win longevity, the richest man in the Great Qin Empire.

So Ying Changsheng really treats money like dung.

After all, he is not missing.

Naturally, I will not pursue these things all the time.

At this time, Gongshu Shangzao on the side, after listening to Ying Changsheng's words.

I didn't even bother to talk to him, just said.

"Young Master Nineteen, since you have ordered me down, I will do my best to do it, but the most important thing right now is to make fireworks. After all, it is only a few days away from the Chinese New Year. Can you give me a few more days?"

"Don't worry about this, just take your time!"

Ying Changsheng waved his hand and said.

He is not in a hurry to wait a few days, after all, after the ship is built, it does not mean that a ship can officially enter the ocean to sail.

One year for the Army, ten years for the Air Force, and one hundred years for the Navy.

These words are not just words.

but facts.

As a high-tech naval force.

The successful production of Zheng He's treasure ship was only the simplest step at the beginning.

After the production is successful, suitable sailors are recruited and trained.

Then the Zheng He treasure ship was driven by the sailors.

Test voyages on the sea.

After being familiar with the performance of Zheng He's treasure ship, this was only a small step, and finally he had to walk around on the sea to draw a chart.

Only in this way can, little by little, the Great Qin Empire begin to explore the depths of the sea.

This is a rather lengthy process, and results may not necessarily be seen in ten or twenty years.

After all, the current Daqin.

Including the six countries that were destroyed by the Great Qin.

They are essentially land power states.

No one pays attention to the navy.

Even suitable sailors were hard to find.

So I want Zheng He's treasure ship to really sail to Deep Blue.

This is still a rather arduous and lengthy task.

Don't say it's a waste of a few days, it's fine to put the matter on hold for a few months, or even a few years.

……

In Xianyang City.

The weather is getting colder.

On the street where Ying Zheng walked.

He frowned slightly and couldn't help but wrap himself in the fox fur.

Today he is visiting privately on Weibo.

I want to go to the public to have a look.

Take a look at the life of the common people.

At this moment, when Ying Zheng was blown by the piercing cold wind on the street with his back on his back, he felt a burst of severe cold instantly.

Seeing Ying Zheng sigh with emotion, he said to Li Si beside him.

"It's still pretty cold this year!"

"It's normal for Your Majesty to be cold. There was a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and the weather is now very cold. It's very cold outside the palace. Do you want to go back first, Your Majesty?"

"No!"

Ying Zheng immediately shook his head.

"I haven't walked on this street for a long time, it's a good thing to wander around now!"

Just as Ying Zheng finished speaking, suddenly there was a commotion from the street in the distance.

immediately.

There was a tooth-piercing sound of wooden wheels rubbing against the ground, and it went straight to the distance.

Several soldiers wearing heavy winter coats pushed a two-wheeled wooden cart over.

There were several corpses on the wooden cart.

The skin of the corpse was whitish.

His whole body was hard and he had obviously frozen to death.

Ying Zheng who saw this scene.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

Then he fixed his eyes on Li Si, who was at the side, and asked.

"Li Si, what's going on?"

"In Xianyang City, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could people freeze to death?"

"Your Majesty, it is helpless to talk about this matter..."

Li Si glanced at Ying Zheng cautiously.

Then he opened his mouth and said helplessly.

His words instantly annoyed Ying Zheng.

Only Ying Zheng looked at Li Si angrily.

"What do you mean? Let these people die of cold and hunger?"

After Ying Zheng's voice fell, Li Si couldn't help but answer. He sighed and said to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, what I'm going to say next may be a little bit off-putting, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Li Si pulled Ying Zheng to a street corner and spoke in a low voice.

"tell me the story!"

Ying Zheng suddenly became interested.

With a straight face, he looked at Li Si and listened to the latter's explanation.

I only heard Li Si explain.

"Your Majesty, the matter is actually very simple to say. People in Xianyang City, eating is naturally not a problem, but the severe cold is a big problem. You also know that it is snowing heavily..."

"However, no matter how cold the weather is, why don't the common people know how to burn firewood for warmth?"

Ying Zheng frowned and said.

Speaking of Yingzheng's remarks, it is really the same as Jin Huidi's why not eat minced meat.

There are similarities in the same way.

The moment he heard Ying Zheng's voice, Li Si couldn't help but lower his head and remained silent for a moment before explaining to Ying Zheng.

"Nowadays, the price of firewood in Xianyang City is too expensive. The common people have to save some firewood for cooking. How can they be willing to use firewood for heating?"

"The farmers who plow the land have the straw on the ground, which can be used as firewood. How can the people in the city have such a thing? They can only buy firewood to burn. Naturally, they are reluctant to give up the firewood. In the final analysis, the people are poor. ah……"

"Why is the price of this firewood going up?"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
