Chapter 735: The New Prince


After leaving Yacheng, walk south along the first street and soon arrive at the ferry.

Next to the ferry is the pontoon bridge leading to Yuliangkan in the east of Xiangyang City, but Li Chao has recently liked to go to the ferry port to take a ferry instead of taking the pontoon bridge directly.

The ferry port is lively.

Although there is a pontoon bridge passing through the bank, the bridge is not accessible to everyone.

The entry and exit checks are very strict, and you must have a pass card to go.

If you don't have a license, you will be interrogated and interrogated, and maybe you will be arrested for a few days of hard labor.

Only the inhabitants of the island will have a pass.

Ordinary businessmen still take a boat at the ferry.

The ferry boat is big and small, the small ferry boat is actually a bamboo row, walking on it swaying and floating and sinking, accidentally will wet shoes, it doesn't matter in summer, but wet shoes in winter is a troublesome thing.

In particular, the row can't sit a few people, and it can't carry many goods.

Most people do ferries, these boats don't actually have cabins, it's just a bottom shell, and there is no space on it, but such boats are stable.

Especially for many northern landlubbers who don't know water, sitting on that rickety row is simply life-threatening, and they are dizzy when they look at it, let alone sitting.

Li Chao has a special ferry, the boat is very beautiful, among the boats at the ferry, this boat is the most conspicuous, you can see it at a glance.

It's a sailboat.

A three-masted schooner can carry more than 100 people, and its displacement is estimated to be about 1,000 tons.

In fact, this ship was completely modeled after the Mayflower sailing ship that landed in North America.

It was built by Xiangyang Shipyard, and it took a lot of time to carefully restore the Mayflower according to the data.

In fact, the main thing to build this ship is to study shipbuilding technology, which is an experimental ship.

Later, Li Chao took this boat as his own ferry, put it at the Yuliangzhou ferry, and sometimes took this boat to fish on the Han River.

This boat, Li Chao called him Mayflower.

The Mayflower is very special here, although there are many sailboats like this in the Tang Dynasty now, but the sailing ships are expensive, so these ships are running on the sea, basically the ships of the Four Seas Company, in this Xiangyang, this galleon is very few.

The crew knew that Li Chao had arrived at this point, so the bridge had already been built, and Li Chao rode directly to the deck of the ship.

"Teacher."

On the deck of the ship, Prince Chengqian stood there with a smile.

Another year has passed, a year older, and now the prince in September has grown taller, and although his lips have not yet grown a beard, he has indeed grown a lot taller, and his voice is already changing.

Cheng Qian took a few steps forward and led the horse for Li Chao.

As he walked, the prince's pace was steady.

After falling from a horse last year, the prince raised his injuries for a long time, and now, he has finally recovered completely.

"Why did you run out again today, Li Shaobao didn't give you homework" Li Chao dismounted, stood in front of the prince and looked at him a few times, and then smiled.

At the mention of the crown prince and young master Li Gang, Cheng Qian couldn't help pouting.

The second elder of the East Palace, the young master of the prince Li Gang, and the young master of the prince Pei Ju.

Li Gang is over eighty years old, Pei Ju is also over seventy years old, these two are Cheng Qian's teachers, but their education methods are completely different from Li Chao's.

Cheng Qian is extremely disgusted with these two ends, he only knows how to talk about some big truths all day long, Pei Ju is better, and the most annoying thing is that Li Gang, who reads the book every day, and then arranges a lot of skills.

"Teacher, I still like the time when I used to run around with the teacher, I was so happy at that time."

Cheng Qian said.

Last year, there was an incident of the prince falling from a horse, although Li Chao later found a bearded guest to help tie up his legs, and Li Shimin and his wife no longer blamed Li Chao later.

But after this year, Li Shimin's supervision of the prince became stricter, inviting Li Gang and Pei Ju to be Chengqian's teachers, and inviting a bunch of famous Confucians to teach the prince homework, and often arranged for ministers and scholars in the court to take turns to give lectures to the prince.

He is no longer allowed to leave the palace at will, and Li Shimin occasionally asks Li Chao to give lectures to the prince, but no longer allows the prince to go to Li Chao's mansion often, let alone live in Li Chao's mansion and follow Li Chao everywhere.

The prince was trapped in the East Palace, learning this and that every day.

Occasionally, when Li Chao went to give him a lecture, the prince could pull Li Chao to tell him what was on his mind, saying that he was tired of these.

But Li Chao had no choice, the prince was young before, and Li Shimin felt that the prince had not taught him well, so he asked him to follow Li Chao to change his temperament.

But later, after falling from the horse, Li Shimin changed his attitude.

The way the prince is taught now is the way the prince is taught, but some of it is too early and too strict.

Li Chao also told Li Shimin twice, but Li Shimin didn't pay attention to his opinion, and then Li Shimin stopped talking about it.

Li Chao could see that the prince was unhappy, but it was not easy to say anything.

He felt that although the prince was happy with his education method, it was not necessarily a suitable education method for the prince.

Li Chao can only be regarded as a good teacher, and it is okay to occasionally enlighten the prince and take him to play.

But when it comes to orthodox education, he himself is not qualified.

Although Li Gang is known as the prince killer, he has taught several princes and has rich experience.

What kind of education does an heir of the Tang Dynasty and a future emperor need, Li Chao can't say well, but he definitely needs to learn a lot, Li Chao can teach some, but he can't teach everything.

"You won't sneak out again, will you?"

asked Li Chao.

This has happened more than once.

Sometimes, Cheng Qian, who was bored with learning in the East Palace, would throw away his homework and run out of the palace.

Of course, it's not about running away from the wall.

Now the prince has many guards around him, most of whom are personally selected by Li Shimin.

They never left the prince's side, and it was impossible for the prince to get rid of them.

However, Li Shimin also knew that he couldn't be too strict with the prince, and proper relaxation was also needed.

As long as the prince doesn't mess around, the guards won't stop him, and will always follow.

Cheng Qian rarely runs around, and he will come to Li Chao when he leaves the palace.

The two of them chatted, sometimes fishing, or doing some handmade designs or something, occasionally engaging in barbecue and picnics, and having enough fun, Cheng Qian would go back to the palace by himself before dark.

After a few times, Li Shimin was relieved.

"Teacher, Xiangyang Shipyard made thirty three-masted sailing ships last month, and it is estimated that this month can maintain this output, and now Xiangyang Shipyard has almost stabilized its production capacity day by day."

Thirty three-masted galleons a month, which is quite an astonishing capacity.

However, behind a Xiangyang shipyard, there are more than a dozen supporting manufacturers, Xiangyang Shipyard, which is actually an assembly dock, where various accessories are assembled.

The shipyard docks were large, and there were many craftsmen, and many ships could be built at the same time, which was the result of thirty ships in a month.

Think of the Dutch in later generations, when they were called sea coachmen, the whole of the Netherlands had a population of only about 2 million, but they were able to build 70 percent of the world's ships at that time.

After a year of development, on the basis of the original shipbuilding industry, especially on the basis of a large number of craftsmen, there is now the glory of Xiangyang Shipyard, which is the industry in which the prince has a stake, and Li Xiangye is in it, such an industry, all aspects are all the way to the green light, especially the shipbuilding craftsmen in the shipyard, if it were not for the identity of Li Chao and Li Chengqian, how could it be possible to dig up so many craftsmen.

There is actually more than one shipyard like Xiangyang Shipyard.

There are eight shipyards in Dengzhou, Shandong, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Vietnam.

However, those shipyards are not so large, and the output is not so high.

These eight shipyards both build ships and repair ships.

Li Chao and the prince's grand voyage plan is slowly unfolding.

"The Vietnamese Hou Gang fought another battle with the Chenla people, and with our three-masted sail warship, as well as our eight-ox crossbow and oil bomb truck, we killed more than 100 Zhenla warships, killed more than 500 people, and captured more than 1,000 prisoners.

Three-masted sail warships, with eight-ox crossbows and counterweight stone-throwing carts, especially fire oil bombs made of asphalt and oil, were extremely sharp in naval battles.

Relying on the speed advantage of the three-masted sailing ship, when Zhang Zhongjian was engaged in a battle with the Zhenla warship, he kept in mind a secret of Professor Li Chao, seized the upper hand, and then used the range advantage to shoot the small warship of the Zhenla people with sharp fire oil bombs and fire oil crossbow guns, and the result was naturally invincible.

Although the Zhenla people have been in the limelight on land recently, they want to cross the strait, but they attack Zhang Zhongjian on the Pearl Island, but they have been defeated repeatedly.

At the beginning, it was still small in scale, and it was only a few ships lost each time, but last time the Zhenla people dispatched more than 100 ships of all sizes, making a lot of noise, but the result was that in front of the armed merchant fleet of the Four Seas Trading Company led by Zhang Zhongjian, the whole army was wiped out.

Now Zhang Zhongjian is not only the Vietnamese marquis of the imperial court, but also a partner of the prince and Li Chao's Sihai Company, and the company's spokesperson in the Nanyang region.

Because this year, the fleet organized by Zhang Zhongjian brought back a large amount of grain to the Central Plains, which made Li Shimin very satisfied, and recently they have been considering giving Zhang Zhongjian the title of county duke.

"Teacher, let's sail to the drill today."

Li Chao's ship had eight oxen crossbows and catapults, not many, ballistas and one.

Originally, Li Chao would not have loaded this kind of thing on the ship, these are heavy weapons and prohibited items.

But Li Chengqian wanted to load, and he also got the things, so Li Chao's ship was loaded with an eight-ox crossbow and a catapult, everyone knew about it, but no one said anything.

Cheng Qian often asked Li Chao to take him on a galleon, and he would ask for exercises or something, get a few imaginary enemies, and then command the sailors to operate the Eight Bull Crossbow siege vehicles and smash them all at a barren shore.

"Not today."

Li Chao has rarely refused Cheng Qian recently, because there are fewer opportunities for the two to meet, and he will always try to meet some of his requests.

But today, Li Chao just wanted to go home early.

"The teacher seems to have something on his mind, is something wrong?"

"Didn't you hear any good news when Your Highness came down?"

"Yes, my uncle won a great victory in Shuofang, broke the Yu shooting set, and recovered Henan."

Cheng Qian said calmly.

Li Chao was surprised, "You don't seem to be very excited." ” "What's there to be excited about, it's just that when the Turks were losing both dogs and dogs, the sudden attack caught them off guard, especially mainly relying on Li Simo as an internal response.

In contrast, it was the teacher who rescued Longxi, captured Longnan, and recovered Shuofang These battles were fought beautifully, and everyone who could listen to my blood boiled.

My uncle's this is not worth mentioning, and that Li Simo is still the teacher's internal response to the development of Shuofang at the beginning. ” Li Chao chuckled.

"You don't have to think like this, you don't have to be thrilling, in fact, just by means, I admire the timing of Wei Guogong's attack and the strength of his attack this time.

But it's a pity that he ignored the overall situation, Your Highness, the Turks are going south, and there will be a big battle to fight soon."

"Ah," Cheng Qian opened his mouth wide in surprise.
