Chapter 432: Boarding a Ship for a Visit


Yuan Shan saw on the river bank that the boat had been accelerating, and the smoke on the chimney was also billowing and getting thicker, and he was a little uneasy, he was afraid that he would break the wooden boat if he did this, this is not a steel ship.

But Yuan Shan didn't immediately call someone to say that the two brothers of the Li family were testing the data of the steam engine, and he was worried and happy for the success of the steamship, although this was only a small step, but it was a big step for the Datang shipbuilding industry.

"Wave the flag and let them come back."

Yuan Shan said to the family next to him.

Then Jia Ding took two flags and began to dance against the hull of the boat, and the other Jia Ding took out a small mirror in his hand and began to shine on the hull under his eyes, the people on the shore couldn't see what was going on, but the people on the boat saw that the people on the shore suddenly had a bright light on their hands, as if they were using some fairy method, Li Dejian saw the reflection of the mirror and the flag, and quickly turned the rudder to let the boat start to approach the shore.

Before the boat had landed, Princess Liz cried out, "I'm going to get on the boat and play." ” "Okay, when the ship docks, let Princess Lizhi get on the boat."

When Yuan Shan spoke, Li Chengqian involuntarily leaned over to Li's side, and the meaning was obvious, he was also going up, and then all the brothers of the Li family, even Li Tai, who usually liked to have a cold face, came over, these children, their curiosity is very heavy, and it is the first time they have seen a boat without sails, how could they miss such an opportunity.

"Teacher, we succeeded."

Li Dejian shouted excitedly when the ship was about to dock, which was an irrepressible excitement.

After the ship docked, Yuan Shan immediately said to Li Dejian and Li Dexian: "Congratulations on the success of Zheng Qi's power ship, but don't be proud that there are more challenges waiting for you in the future, let's build a larger steam ship that can carry tens of thousands of stone of cargo." ” Yuan Shan's words made the Li brothers very excited, and the merchants were even more excited, no, if there was such a ship from the north and the south by water, how many goods would be transported at that time, and the money would be much more than now, and the merchants would pursue profits, and their eyes were about to shine.

"Li Dejian and Li Dehui are the designers of the steam ship and the chief engineer of the steam power of the hull, so let them introduce you to some of the configuration of this ship."

Won-sun continued.

Originally, I wanted to take the beautiful upload to go around the river first, but I saw that everyone's curious attitude towards this boat immediately changed their minds, and put the following visit to the front to execute, which can also satisfy everyone's curiosity for the first time, after all, the future investment will depend on today's display.

"This boat is so small."

Lizhi was taken to the deck by Won-sun and heard Lizhi say.

"It's not a big ship."

Yuan Shan said, the sunshine of this royal princess is still very unique, they must have seen the kind of pavilion-style big ships in the palace, and the hull of such a medium-sized ship is naturally not looked down on when two-thirds of the space is occupied.

"But your ship is really weird, how does it move without sails?"

Princess Liz asked.

"Haha, this is a steamship, naturally it uses a steam engine, let's follow those people to the steam room and listen to their explanation, and you will know everything."

Saying that, Yuan Shan walked into the crowd with Lizhi, and just after passing over, he heard Li Dejian introducing to everyone, because the hull is not large, the first batch of people to wax are the prince and the generals, although a large group of merchants are waiting below, but they have already begun to discuss.

"It is not affected by wind and waves, and if this steam power is installed on a cargo ship, it will not be affected by the weather."

The merchants began to talk.

Soon someone said, "It would be safer to put a steam engine on a wooden water wheel." ” Eliminating the need for labor, speed is guaranteed, although the investment is large, but both manpower and speed have a strong advantage, some businessmen began to speculate that the development of the steamship may have some impact on the traditional sailing ship.

In particular, some businessmen who specialize in making sails at home also see potential crises when they see business opportunities, but there are advantages and disadvantages, just like the application of looms, increasing production and reducing manpower, but at present, it is still not enough, and some small workshops have also begun to imitate Jenny's looms, more or less improved than before.

However, the technology of the steam engine made the businessmen see the contents of this iron block, but they couldn't do anything, but nothing could be difficult for the merchants, because they knew that as long as it could be solved with money, it was not a problem, and the steam engine that the Yuan family gave to the ordnance supervisor had already been reported, and it was not difficult for them to buy one and use it back, but the cost of this R&D investment was what they cared about the most.

"President Yuan, this steam engine is so heavy, it can play such a big role on the ship, if you build a large steam ship, this investment is an incredible amount."

Xue Kai said on the side.

"Yes, but you can imagine that in the future, super-large giant ships will sail in the waters of Datang, and the cost will be recouped by the cargo capacity alone."

Yuan Shan said.

A group of people on the boat were talking about how the boat was, and at this time, they saw two more delicate women beside Lizhen, Yuan Shan saw that it was Guo Xiang and Zheng Qi's daughter Zheng Xiujing, they were enjoying the scenery outside the boat on the boat, and suddenly Yuan Shan felt a little ashamed to have such a beautiful beauty, and the scenery was not looked at, but there was a group of stinky old men around him, thinking about it, it was really emotional.

"Sister, I want to go over there."

Su Rong suddenly shouted.

"Pei Shan, go and go over and have a look, be careful."

Su Zhennan instructed Su Peishan.

"The two young ladies are so beautiful, my name is Su Rong, you can call me Ah Rong, this is my sister Su Peishan, she is amazing, she can never forget." saw that after Su Rong got permission, he immediately ran to the bow of the boat to talk to Guo Xiang and Zheng Xiujing.

And Shi Lizhi shouted on the side: "You know in the eyes of a child that the young lady will definitely be a disciple when she grows up." ” Li Zhi said a little childishly, Su Rong was a little confused when Li Zhi said this, he was actually no older than Li Qian, two years old, he was a child, and the boys were relatively late, and when he heard Li Qian's words, he immediately reacted, and his tears were about to fall, and his face was full of grievances.

Seeing that the kid was so thin-skinned and a little stupid, she didn't know if she had found something that could make her happy, and said to Li Chengqian beside her: "Brother, look at him like a girl." ” Su Rong's eyes were really a little misty, he had never been said so by a little girl, and he wanted to refute it, but his mouth seemed to be relatively stupid, and his reaction was a little worse, at this time, Su Peishan immediately said: "Ah Rong should be polite." ” "It's Ah Rong who is reckless, and please don't blame you."

Su Peishan said immediately.

Yuan Shan saw that the woman in front of him was not the kind of delicate type, but the feeling of some urban beauty, exuding intelligence everywhere on her body, and her temperament was very good, but the fly in the ointment was that if she changed into the professional clothes of the Yuan family, it would be very perfect.

Although Su Peishan is a person who has been in the mall for a long time, in the face of such a look, Su Peishan felt very uncomfortable, and soon left with Su Rong to penetrate.
