For the robbery, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty were unexpectedly supportive.
After all, the Tang Dynasty was mainly established by the group of Guanlong nobles, and the upstarts who started with military merits in the war that year were inseparable from the word military merit.
Even those bureaucrats from the Kwantung clan in the court said that this was not good, but in fact they also supported the plundering of Goguryeo.
The land in Liaodong also has their share, which is bought with real money.
Now that the family crest has been made, how can there be no fiefdom Qin is good at cultivating and fighting, and the Tang Dynasty is also martial, and they all value military merits.
However, the nobles think that robbery is not good, how can we call it robbery.
We are recovering the old frontier of China, the homeland of the Han family.
We are going to conquer the Goguryeo barbarians who have offended our Tang Dynasty.
We are the righteous army of the king, and we are going to avenge the revenge of the Chinese people.
Under these banners, whether it is a nobleman with military merits or a child of a scholarly family, they all feel full of a sense of justice.
The business of the shipyard was unexpectedly good, the imperial court wanted to build two fleets, and the military department calculated that if the imperial court built the shipyard itself, it would take a long time, and it would require a lot of labor, and the efficiency was low, and it could not build a better ship than Li Ji.
Of course, the Li family expressed their willingness to lend their shipbuilding technology to the imperial court for shipbuilding, but the key is that the imperial court did not have craftsmen to make such new ships.
The new type of soft sailing ship is completely different from the traditional building boat.
It's a whole new system.
Even the craftsmen who were able to build the five-story building ship said that they would not be able to build the new ship themselves.
If you want to build a new ship, you have to start all over again.
Li Ji opened a ship academy in Yangzhou, teaching the design and manufacture of ships, as well as teaching navigation technology, etc., and there are many students, all of whom are training students for Li Kee's shipping industry.
Li Ji is willing to train a group of students for the imperial court, but it still takes time.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry made a total of inquiries about the situation of Li Ji Shipyard, and then they found that instead of building their own ships, it was better to place orders directly with Li Ji Shipyard.
They have a complete shipbuilding industry chain, from the harvesting and sawing of shipbuilding timber to the drying and storage of shipbuilding timber to the manufacture of various parts of the ship, they have special workshops.
Under the assembly-line shipbuilding process of Li Kee, they can build ships faster and at a lower cost.
Compared with the imperial court to build its own factory, it can save a lot of money and save a lot of time.
The imperial court built its own ships, and the ships of these two fleets could not be built in three years, and the cost of money was several times that of Li Ji.
And handed over to Li Ji, one year is enough to deliver.
It was not surprising that the military department chose to place an order with the Li family.
The commanders of the two newly built fleets are willing to build their own ships and slowly train their own crews, but the military department is not willing to do this, and you will pay the extra money.
Nowadays, the imperial court implements a budget allocation system, and although the military department controls the budget of the Tang army, their money is also obtained from the household department and the general budget of the Zhongshu Sect.
The guards and armies of the north and south have to spend money, and they ask for money everywhere, and it is a little bit to save a little, not to mention that Li Ji Shipyard placed an order to build a warship, and the savings were not a little bit, and the savings were several times.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a warship designed by our shipyard in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of War.
We have designed a fleet of eighteen three-masted sailing ships, and twelve two-sail and dhow speedboats, as well as thirty transports, according to your needs. ” "The three-masted sail warship we designed has three classes: large, medium and small, and the warship can be equipped with the latest guns and heavy crossbows, with extremely fast speed, large load capacity and strong firepower.
Combine the faster and lighter brigs as frigates, the dhow as patrol and communications boats, and the guns and muskets as well as bows and crossbows, and these sailboats will be a nightmare for the enemy, who will not be able to escape our pursuit and withstand our blows. ” "At sea, when encountering our fleet, then the enemy's ships surrender and can only be sunk.
For there is no ship faster than these sailing ships we have designed, and there is no ship more ferocious than his attack. ” "The ship was three times as long as the ship's width, had one to three decks, and could have many guns and heavy crossbows on the ship's side" The shipyard's steward is hanging in the river, and at the same time, the design drawings of the new warships are cooperated.
The slender warship, the towering masts, the open sails on each side, especially the guns and heavy crossbows painted on the side of the ship, and the mortar cannon in the bow that can fire boulders.
Such a warship really made the generals of the military department and the royal sailors almost drool.
And the troop carriers are also very beautiful.
These ships are a bit wider and have a larger carrying capacity.
A fleet of ships of the size of sixty ships in total, with a full load of 8,000 soldiers.
And a fleet of no more than 5,000 men means they can carry 3,000 allies, or load more trophies.
Eighteen sail warships, three ranks, three large ships, six medium ships, and nine small ships.
But the small one is also very huge, with a captain of at least a dozen zhang long.
Low broadboard, crosssails, plus guns and heavy crossbows on both sides, make these ships warships in the truest sense of the word, designed for combat.
Compared to tall buildings, these ships are obviously more suitable for fighting at sea and are not afraid of wind and waves.
Stronger attack power and faster speed.
The two fleets consisted of a total of one hundred and twenty ships.
The shipyard promises to deliver it in one year.

"We want this boat, we want this boat" The two generals of the newly appointed naval fleet had their eyes wide open, and they stared at the military department with red eyes.
After looking at these ships, they no longer look at other ships.
In the past, the best warship was the Wuya Building, but now when they look at the ship, they feel like a bloated old woman, how such a ship resists the wind and waves at sea, how to chase the enemy ship at sea Leaning on the ship's pole?
How can the slap rod compare to the guns and heavy crossbows on this warship?
The military department Shangshu carefully looked at the data again, in fact, he was able to memorize the data of these ships backwards.
And the price, as always, is cheap.
It's much cheaper than the cost of a ship.
And what reason not to buy "Buy, two fleets, a total of one hundred and twenty ships of all sizes, all bought."
Hongzhou.
An important state city in the north of Jiangnan West Road, Hongzhou is also Nanchang in later generations.
This city, located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, has also become very important because of its proximity to the river.
Li Kee's shipyard has a branch here, but it is not a dock, but a factory that processes ship plates.
In shipbuilding, wood is extremely important.
The best timber must be used, and different trees must be used for different parts of the ship.
For example, the keel needs to be strong, and the mast needs to be straight and light.
The bigger the ship, the more important the keel.
The kind of huge integrated keel is difficult to find, and it is not conducive to manufacturing navigation, so Li Kee's shipyard is practical to use the ship-fighting keel technology, even the mast, in fact, are spliced.
"Won't the splicing be sturdy?"
Cui Jin asked with some concern, in his impression, the splicing must not be as strong as the log.
"This is a misconception of many people, but in fact, our splicing technology is quite clever, and the splicing keel and splicing mast are better than the whole wood, stronger and lighter.
And with this splicing technology, we don't need to look for those extremely rare huge logs to make keels, which makes the speed of shipbuilding much faster. ” Li Chao took Cui Jin and a group of other nobles to visit the shipyard, and all kinds of wood were harvested and transported.
Here, too, complex processes are processed.
Fundamentally different needs, the wood is processed in different ways.
"It's strange that a special kiln was built to dry the wood."
"Because the natural air-drying time is too long, and the simple and primitive air-drying method can sometimes damage the wood, such as easy cracking.
Therefore, we use the most controllable and fastest method of setting up drying kilns to dry the wood on demand. ” "What's that steamer?"
"It's also wood-processing.
You can see that a lot of the planks on the ship are actually curved, and these planks are formed by us by steaming and pressing. ” Cui Jin was amazed.
I originally thought it was just a lumber mill, nothing unusual.
But after a closer look, I found that this place is not simple, the hydraulic sawing machine uses the river water to easily sawn the giant wood and process it into boards or strips.
Then there are air-dried cellars, stereotyped steamers, and so on.
All kinds of trees eventually turned into all kinds of ship materials.
Looking at the busy scene, he was amazed.
"San Lang, I'm going to buy a sailboat with that keel, remember what this kind of ship is called, how much is a galleon, I'm going to buy a few."
Cui Jin said.
The galleon, in fact, is the later European's galleon, this is a more classic type of sea ship, whether it is combat or transportation, it is not bad, all sizes are good, Li Chao directly copied this ship.
"I'm sorry, but this galleon is out of stock, and it's not cheap."
There are three classes of three-masted galleons, large ships with a displacement of more than 500 tons, medium ships with a displacement of 200 to 500 tons, and small ships with a displacement of less than 200 tons.
And a ship, only counting the hull, mast and sail, generally costs about 100 yuan per ton.
This means that a big building has to start at least 50,000 yuan.
Of course, Gaishi is so advanced, and the shipbuilding technology is exclusive to Li Kee, so of course it will not be sold at cost price.
Li Chao's sale is also very fair, and he directly doubles the sale.
This means that the world is at least 100,000 runs.
"One hundred thousand guan a ship" was just about to take one breath and even his seven or eight big ships Cui Jin had a toothache, the Cui family did have money, but it cost three million to buy a fief before, and the family ran out of cash, and he still owed Cui Yan one million.
Three million and four real titles and four territories are still different from buying a boat for 100,000 yuan.

"It's really expensive."
"Even at this price, there is no goods now, the imperial court has ordered dozens of ships in one go, and the major families have also ordered a lot, and the orders have already been scheduled for three years, even if the scale is expanded now, I don't dare to take new orders, and I have to do my best to finish the old list.
For the time being, there are only small three-masted ships, 50,000 yuan, no discount, and each family is limited to one. ” "How big is that ship?"
"The captain is nine zhang wide and two zhang seven, the load is three thousand stones, the draft is one zhang and one deep, and the three-masted sailing ship can carry one hundred and twenty people."
It was a smaller, three-masted ship based on the Mayflower.
However, in this era, it is not easy to carry more than 100 people and travel long distances at sea.
"Fifty thousand yuan, I'll buy three."
Cui Jin said.
"A family is limited to one purchase, and we have to wait until everyone gets the first boat before releasing the second purchase restriction order."
"San Lang, you are my brother-in-law, and the relationship between our Cui and Li families is not ordinary."
"Well, that's what I'm saying, so be it, give you a special treatment, you can buy more.
But if you want to buy the second one, you have to increase the price by one percent, buy the third one, you have to increase the price by two percent, if you want to buy the fourth one, you have to increase the price by three percent, and so on.
If you want to buy it, after all, everyone wants to buy a boat now, and I have to take care of everyone's feelings, it has to be fair, isn't it?"
Cui Jin was a little helpless, "I have to increase the price" "Actually, I suggest that you don't rush to buy so many ships at once, buy one first, and then find a way to recruit enough crew and sailors, otherwise, you won't be able to drive away with only one ship."
Cui Jin was dumbfounded, "Don't you buy a ship and send the crew?"
Li Chao glanced at him, what did he think, he wanted to send the crew when he bought a ship. t1706231537:
