Wei Chijiang has long been known as mad dog in the court.He is a dog of the prince, whoever opposes the prince, he will bite whomever he wants, with the support of Tie Xi, and others can't really do anything to him.Therefore, even the Privy Council ministers and scholars were also afraid of Wei Chijiangwan.Tie Xi came soft, and Wei Chijiang came hard late.Soon, the voices in the court against going to sea were a trivial matter.The officials also understood that Fu Ziying and Wang Zhizhong had nothing to say, and they had no reason to stop them.To deal with these people, Tie Xi also used the same way to deal with Fu Ziying, I am for the people, if you oppose me, you just don't want to make profits for the people, so you are not a good official.In this way, although this matter has not been raised at the beginning of the dynasty, everyone Jiang Chao wants to go to sea.And Jiang Chao stayed in the East Palace for several days in a row, and he was sure in his heart that his trip to the sea was decided.If it's fast, it's going to leave this year, and if it's slow, it's going to leave next year.Don't try to run away anyway.And Tie Xi also summoned the Ministry of Works, Shang Shuchao, to inquire about the ship.Chao Cuo also knew what Tie Xi had summoned him for.Before he came to the East Palace, he had already sent people to investigate many shipping divisions along the coast, and he had also read all the official documents in advance."
Lord Chao, I want to know if our Great Song Dynasty has a ship suitable for traveling far away."
Tie Xi looked at Jiang Yuan and said slowly.Among so many high-ranking officials in the DPRK, Chao Cuo was the first official to show his support when he heard this, so this made Tie Xi value him a lot.He doesn't know much about Chao Cuo, only that he has a bad relationship with many people in the DPRK and China, and he is a maverick."
How long will it take to build a ship for a long voyage now?""
Your Highness, it won't take much time, there is now an unfinished ship in the Fujian Shipyard Division.""
That means we'll be able to set sail soon?"
Tie Xi was a little excited.Wei Chi Jiangwan was also very happy in his heart when he heard Chao's wrong answer, and Jiang Chao sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that he wouldn't even be able to survive this year.But Chao Cuo shook his head and said, "No." ”The smile on Tie Xi's face disappeared instantly, how could this person gasp for breath when he spoke, couldn't he finish it all at once?"
Why?""
Because the shipyard has not built a ship for decades, most of the shipwrights have been transferred back to their hometowns, and now there are less than 100 people in the shipyard."
The ship division of the Great Song Dynasty was once glorious, but with the increase in the number of annual coins for the Liao State, some not very important departments were abolished, or cut off.After hearing this, Tie Xi felt a little bitter in his heart, everything was because the original Great Song was too weak.Tie Xi sighed and said, "If the shipwrights are to be completed, how long will it take?"
”"Half a year.""
How long will it take to complete the construction.""
I don't know.""
Why?""
Because ministers don't know how to build ships......
Tie Xi was stunned for a second, and then laughed out loud: "Lord Chao, it's really honest." ”"Your Highness, the minister just has something to say."
Tie Xi nodded: "That's it, let Jiang Chao supervise this matter with you, and the ships built must be able to withstand ......the waves lapping for a long time." ”Chao Cuo sighed and said."
Why?""
The Great Song Dynasty has not gone to sea for too long, and the existing shipwrights have no experience in sailing, let alone the newly replenished shipwrights."
Tie Xi narrowed his eyes: "Then what should I do?"
”Chao Cuo's face became serious."
Your Highness, the minister thinks that if you want to make the boatmen become skilled quickly, let them be busy, if Your Highness can expand the sailors and replace them with new ships, the shipwrights have a lot of experience in building ships, or in less than a year, they will have a group of skilled shipwrights."
After hearing Chao Cuo's words, Tie Xi instantly became interested.This is to let the Great Song Dynasty have an invincible sailor.And Tie Xi glanced at Chao Cuo, this person's mind is not simple.Yu Chi Jiangwan's brows furrowed."
Lord Chao, His Royal Highness just asked you to build a ship, but you want to directly ask the Great Song Dynasty to build a sailor?"
Chao glanced at Wei Chi Jiangwan and said: "Does Lord Wei Chi suspect that this official is selfish, this official is just giving advice to His Highness, you can't build a large number of ships, you can't go to sea often, how can a boatman have experience?"
”"But now His Highness only needs one boat, if you want to restart the sailor, how much it will cost, Lord Chao has calculated?"
Yu Chijiang said slowly.After listening to Wei Chi Jiangwan's words, Tie Xi was a little unhappy in his heart, and he thought that Wei Chi Jiang would support this suggestion.In fact, what Chao Cuo said was also something he had been thinking about for a long time, the Great Song Dynasty should have a strong sailor, not a fleet that can be dispatched by a few fishing boats and merchant ships like this.But if you think about it, it's no wonder that Wei Chijiang is late.First, if the construction of the water division is astronomical, the cost is astronomical, and there will not be an official in the court who agrees, and the second is that it is meaningless, who will be beaten if the water division is built?"
Lord Wei Chi, you should not have read the navigation charts, the matter of the voyage is not something that can be satisfied by one ship, in addition to one main ship, there must be several accompanying ships, so as to reduce the possibility of encountering danger on the sea."
When Chao Cuo first learned that His Majesty was planning to go to sea, he immediately understood the travel conditions of the fleet and the experience of some old shipwrights.Chao mistakenly said something, so that Wei Chi Jiangwan's face was stunned, these days patronizing to persuade other officials to agree to the prince's proposal, these things have not been understood, Yu Chi Jiangwan secretly glanced at Tie Xi, and knew that Tie Xi was interested.Tie Xi is indeed interested, he doesn't know much about ships, he only knows that the shipbuilding industry of the Great Song Dynasty is not good now, but it is not bad, and he doesn't know much about the specific situation.As for the long-distance ship, Tie Xi only thought that as long as he built a strong ship, he would be able to sail away.But now it seems that it's not that simple, and the Tao inside is deep."
Can you tell me about it?"
Tie Xi asked curiously."
Your Highness, it's not that the minister doesn't want to describe it to His Highness, but the minister doesn't know much about it.However, the minister had already arranged the itinerary, and with His Highness's consent, the minister set off for Fujian, where he would consult the experienced boatmen, and after the minister had understood, he would return to Tokyo and convey all the information to His Highness. ”Tie Xi nodded with satisfaction: "Then it's hard work." ”This kind of official is the official who does it.Tie Xi already has some importance for Chao Cuo.On the way out of the palace, Jiang Chao, Yu Chi Jiangwan, and Chao Cuo walked side by side.Wei Chijiang smiled at the end of the year: "Lord Chao, or I will accompany you to Fujian." ”"Lord Wei Chi is busy with official business, so let's stay in Tokyo and accompany His Highness."
Chao Cuo shook his head and said.Wei Chijiang is a villain, if he goes to Fujian with him, and looks back on his meritorious deeds, will there be anything else to do with him?
Jiang Chao looked helpless: "Lord Weichi, don't think that some of these are gone, let's go to Fujian with Master Chao." ”Jiang Chao must be concerned about the matter of his life.Just now, Tie Xi had already said to Jiang Chao that Jiang Chao would go where he went, and he had a good understanding of the operation of the ship and the experience required for the voyage.Regarding the matter of going to sea, Jiang Chao has seen it now, and he has some expectations.Anyway, you can't hide, it's better to prepare well and let yourself go down in history.……………… In the East Palace.Tie Xi closed his eyes and recuperated.He was very interested in what Chao Cuo had said.He also knew that according to his father's plan for the future, the future of the Great Song Dynasty was not on the ground, but on the sea.It's a pity that he hasn't succeeded to the throne yet, and he still needs to rely on Fu Ziying, Wang Zhizhong and others to control the court.However, the future is the future, and you still have to focus on the present.What he needs to do now is to find the artifacts mentioned in his father's codex, and to build a powerful invincible sailor for the Great Song Dynasty.Just as Tie Xi was thinking about falling into his mind, Zhang Ai walked in from outside the palace."
Your Highness, General Luo is back."
After hearing this, Tie Xi immediately opened his eyes and said, "Hurry up and let him enter the palace to see me." ”"Yes, Your Highness.""
By the way, let Master Fu and them come over.""
Yes, Your Highness."
Zhang Ai took the order.Luo Shouzhen is the true light of the ancestors this time.Thousands of cavalry, 10,000 foot soldiers, and hundreds of carts full of gold and silver treasures returned to Tokyo.The people on both sides of the street pointed and talked a lot."
See, the one who rode a horse and walked in the front was General Luo Shouzhen, I heard that he killed all the Liao people in the sixteen states, I think the car should be filled with the heads of the Liao people.""
Nonsense, there is no smell of blood at all, how can it be a head, it must be all loot snatched from the Liao State.""
I heard that they have all hit the capital of Liao and went to Beijing, it's really majestic."
After two years of fighting in the north, the results of the war have long been spread among the people.Luo Shouzhen rode a horse, walked to the front, listened to the people's discussion of him, and there was 10,000 pride in his heart.What are you trying to do on the battlefield?
Isn't it just a return to the hometown?
And Luo Biao followed behind Luo Shouzhen: "Uncle, Your Highness should summon us soon." ”"It's me."

Luo Shouzhen added with a serious expression."
Uncle, my nephew hasn't entered the palace yet, why don't you take me to see it.""
How many times do you want me to say, go back honestly, what should you do if your appearance scares Your Highness?"
After listening to Luo Shouzhen's words, Luo Biao sighed.All carts filled with gold and silver treasures were inspected by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households.As soon as Luo Shouzhen arrived at the entrance of the military department, he saw Zhu Jinzhong, Han Zhou and other military generals, and a little eunuch with a smile next to him.He glanced back at Luo Biao, lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his surprise: "Your Highness, this is really letting us enter the palace immediately." ”Luo Biao was not in a good mood, just nodded, and did not speak.Luo Shouzhen saw that Luo Biao was unhappy in his heart, but Zhu Jinzhong and the others were looking at him, and he couldn't go up and slap Luo Biao twice, so he could only pretend that he didn't see it.
