Yuliang Chau, Imperial Palace.
Li Shimin asked the waiter who came back from Wudang Mountain, "Li Chao said he wouldn't come back" "Back to Your Majesty, Li Xiangguo said that he would take care of the prince in Wudang Mountain, saying that the prince was injured and it was not appropriate to come back for the time being."
Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned, this Li Chao, this is on the nose and face.
"What is Li Chao doing in Xiangyang City?"
"Li Xiangguo is taking care of the crown prince in Xiangyang City."
"What about other than that?"
The chamberlain didn't dare to hide it, so he had to tell the truth what he saw.
Li Xiangguo is studying sea ships on Wudang Mountain, making sea ship models with bearded customers, and is also studying the establishment of a South China Sea trading house.
"This Li San is just nonsense.
I am here when I am employing people, I call him back to the court and he doesn't come, but stays in Wudang Mountain to build ships, it's really nonsense, building ships on the mountains, why doesn't he go to heaven" Fang Xuanling said with a smile on the side, "Your Majesty is angry, and Wen Yuan is also dedicated to taking care of the prince."
As for shipbuilding, it is estimated that it is also when you are free, didn't Your Majesty promise Li Chao to build the Maritime Silk Road.
Wen Yuan always focuses on the end when he does things.
It is estimated that the sea ships he built are definitely more suitable for sea navigation. ” "Even if you want to develop the Maritime Silk Road, it should be a matter of the future, what kind of ship to build now, and then go to Wudang Mountain, and tell Li Chao, no matter what, I will return to Xiangyang immediately."
Wudang Mountain.
Li Chao has spent a lot of effort these days, and finally got a model of a three-masted sailing ship, the data of this ship is the information of the sailing ship of the Age of Discovery found by Li Chao on the hard disk when no one was there in the middle of the night.
In the past, he wanted to write a book on the Age of Discovery, so he collected a lot of information on sailing ships in his computer, and stored a lot of information, not only ordinary dhows, two-masted clippers, but also three-masted, four-masted and five-masted ships, and even super sail battleships with four or five decks.
Very detailed, drawings, models, all kinds of data, many detailed books on sailing by later generations, Li Chao has downloaded a lot of them in the computer.
But now he has this information is useless, it takes a lot of excellent shipwrights, and a systematic shipbuilding industry to build such a huge battleship.
Now, Li Chao directly got on the three-masted ship, which can be regarded as a huge leap.
Zhang Zhongjian has been involved in the construction of the model throughout the whole process.
Like Prince Chengqian, he was full of surprise at the design drawings of the three-masted ship that Li Chao took out.
In this era, when many people were still using paddling manpower for sailing, and when the Han people also relied on hard sails, Li Chao made such a ship with narrow lines, beautiful shape, three masts, soft sails that could be suspended, watertight cabins, and stern rudders, which were really amazing.
The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway.
The bearded man immediately saw the advanced point of the ship.
With a watertight cabin, then when sailing, there is no longer so much fear of hitting the reef and hitting the bottom, because there are many separately closed small cabins below, and the bottom of the ship is broken, and only one cabin is broken into the water, and the other cabins are isolated and safe.
Zhang San is accustomed to the sea and knows a lot about boats, Li Chao's model, Li Chao is responsible for the design, and Zhang San is mainly responsible for manufacturing.
It's easy to build a small model, but it's hard to build a ship.
Because a real ship is not only built, but also able to adapt to wind and waves.
Some ships with unreasonable design were built with great luxury, and as a result, many sank to the harbor on the day of their maiden voyage.
When the model was built, Li Chao, Zhang San, and the prince were all very happy.
Sitting on the kang in the house, Li Chao directly made a hot pot.
Copper hot pot, bamboo charcoal burned underneath, not much smoke.
Zhang San doesn't eat spicy, Li Chao also deliberately made mandarin duck hot pot, on the one hand, there are spicy hot pot bases such as dogwood peppercorns, and on the other hand, it is not spicy.
Fresh mutton, duck fish, beef shutters, fried tofu, bean sprouts, radish, winter bamboo shoots The head of a fathead fish was also put in.
The fish head and duck skeleton have been stewed for a long time, making the soup rich and fresh.
Li Chao took out a bottle of wine and poured a glass for Zhang Zhongjian.
"Compensate my Li family's wine, Bailu tribute wine, and this is what I gave to the palace.
This wine is three years old and tastes good.
This wine is now one less bottle to drink, and the longer it lasts, the better it will taste.
Li Chao pointed to the seal affixed to the bottle.
"See, on the seal of each bottle of wine, there is the date of brewing, the name of the winemaker who made it, the number of cellars is recorded, and the names of many people such as the quality inspection.
Each jar of wine is a one-eyed portion. ” Zhang Zhongjian doesn't eat spicy, but he is good at wine.
As soon as the wine was opened, the good smell made him sniff non-stop.
When the wine was poured, he couldn't wait to serve it.
"Take a sip and try it."

Li Chao said with a smile.
As a result, Zhang Zhongjian picked up the wine glass, took one sip after another, and directly finished the glass.
"Hey, you're in too much of a hurry to drink, you have to taste the good wine slowly, this is not beer, it's not the kind of sour and boring water wine, this is Tegon's imperial wine, the best liquor."
A rush of heat comes up, but the aftertaste is long and mellow.
"Good wine" Zhang Zhongjian's face turned red all of a sudden, but his mouth shouted good wine, "Let's have more." ” "It's okay to have some more, but you have to taste it slowly, this wine is strong, if you drink it like this, you have to pour three glasses."
"I've never drunk such good wine."
Li Chao is very satisfied, as soon as this Bashang Wine Shop opens, the drunkards in the world have another good wine.
"Teacher, pour me a glass too."
Cheng Qian also took a wine glass for himself.
"You can't drink this, I'll give you some sweet and bad, that sweet and delicious is not drunk."
"I want to drink some liquor."
Cheng Qian insisted with the cup.
"You're not afraid of getting drunk" "Don't be afraid, men have to drink."
"Little rabbit, how did you learn these fallacies.
But everyone is happy today, so let's have a drink. ” Li Chao poured a small cup for the prince, and it was estimated that it was less than half a tael.
"Drink slowly, a little bit, if you can't get used to it, don't drink it."
The prince took a sip of the wine glass, the colorless and transparent wine entered his throat, and immediately seemed to be on fire, the strength was very strong, the prince's face was red, but his eyes were still shining, "Good wine." ” Li Chao shook his head, this prince is getting bolder and bolder.
I want to try everything, and I'm an adventurous person.
"Brother Zhang, you see that we have now made a model, should we recruit shipwrights and recruit sailors next?
Slowly adapting while building ships" "Build a house here" Zhang San was a little surprised, building a sea ship on the inland Wudang Mountain, it was so fresh.
"There is a river under this mountain, and our boat can be built on land by the river, and after it is built, it can be rowed into the water, and then it can go directly down the river to the Han River, and then to the Yangtze River, and then go to sea."
If it really happens, from here to the mouth of the Yangtze River, a trip, it can be regarded as a sea trial, whether there is a problem, you can find it at once. ” Zhang Zhongjian thought for a while, "This is also a good idea, okay, I'll send someone to find the shipwright."
There are still some people in the Zhang family in Yangzhou, and they also have a lot of friends, so it is not a problem to find some shipwrights and sailors. ” He is also looking forward to Li Chao's ship full of new technology.
If this boat is really as good as Li Chao said, then it can really completely replace Mulan Boat at that time.
With such a good ship, it is even possible to sail directly from Guangzhou to the Pearl Island, or even to the Persian Gulf. t1706231537:
