Chapter 571
"Your Majesty, the steamship has been built. On this day, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly ran to Zhu Houzhao and congratulated.
"Oh, has the ship already been built?" Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows: "Is it so fast?"
"Yes, a ten-ton ship has been built. Zhang Juzheng quickly explained, "Does Your Majesty want to take a look?"
If we can, we can mass-produce these ships. "
"A 100,000-ton ship?" Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, the ten-ton class was actually not low.
After all, the construction of ships has just begun.
Compared with the ships that could not move tens of thousands of tons in the previous life, the ten-ton class is indeed a little smaller.
"Have you ever seen it?" after a moment of silence, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhang Juzheng.
"Eight One Zero" "Seen, if these ships can be mass-produced, my Daming's manpower and cargo transportation will be greatly improved!" Zhang Juzheng quickly rejoiced.
As Zhu Houzhao's henchman and the main force of the reformists, Zhang Juzheng naturally hopes that Daming can be as strong as possible, although some things, on the surface, seem to have nothing to do with him, but he is also Zhu Houzhao's cabinet chief.
In the future, when Daming continues to grow, he Zhang Juzheng will also be famous in history.
This is also what the literati are most looking forward to and happy about.
"Build a Daming Royal Shipyard outside Songjiang City!" Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment before continuing, "Is there still money over there in the treasury?"
If there is no money, you can use the money from the internal pocket here. "
"Your Majesty, the treasury has money, but how large a shipyard will be built, and how many ships will be built?" said Zhang Juzheng quickly.
Just kidding, if they let the internal money pay again, then wouldn't they be a failure?
In Zhang Juzheng's opinion, this first shipyard still had to be built by the Daming treasury, otherwise, the devil knew what Zhu Houzhao was going to do.
Zhu Houzhao actually makes Zhang Juzheng very satisfied, that is, when doing things, he likes to let the inner money come to the bottom.
In Zhang Juzheng's view, the small money of the treasury is really unbearable, and if the Daming treasury is allowed to bear it, this Daming is really going to be finished.
"Well!" Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment, and then said: "We can build this shipyard in phases, first build a shipyard of 1,000 acres, and then slowly expand it."
This year, I will invest five million taels. "
Five million taels...
Zhang Juzheng's heart trembled when he heard this, when did he start, five million taels could be said by them so easily?
Are they floating, or is Zhu Houzhao too swaggering!!
However, if you think about it, how big a number is the current five million taels for Daming?
Seems to be the same thing!
"The treasury can take out this money!" Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly and said quickly.
"Well, when the time comes, those steam ships will be supplied to the imperial court first. After that, you can also consider selling it to my Daming merchants and the like.
Of course, the premise must be after the end of Daming's internal digestion. After a pause, Zhu Houzhao continued.
Zhang Juzheng was also shocked when he heard this, and quickly spoke: "Your Majesty, no, this is easy for people to spy on the secrets of our steam engine." "
"There is no need to worry about this, even if other countries want to imitate it, it is not an easy thing, they don't have so much steel!" Zhu Houzhao's face showed a confident look: "If they can really study a reason, in fact, Xu is also looking forward to it." (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
Imagine if all their steel was used to build ships, how would they make weapons?"
Zhang Juzheng was also shocked when he heard this, this is indeed the case, and even can be used to pit other countries, as long as the iron smelting technology does not spread.
In this way, other countries will inevitably not be able to catch up with Daming.
For Daming, it would be a good thing if other countries also studied steam engines.
Zhang Juzheng left quickly, especially after knowing that Zhu Houzhao seemed to have little interest in visiting the shipyard in person, Zhang Juzheng took the initiative to take over this responsibility.
It's not that Zhu Houzhao is not interested in shipbuilding or anything, the importance of the ocean to a country, no one can understand better than Zhu Houzhao:
I just don't know how many countries will follow suit.
And in this world, I don't know what is on the other side of the sea?
It seems that there are no seven continents and four oceans, right?
"What is Your Majesty thinking?" After Zhang Juzheng left, Zhu Houzhao fell into deep thought, while Huang Rong stepped forward and asked.
During this time, Huang Rong and Shao Min also returned to Zhu Houzhao's side.
Naturally, he didn't want to miss the time he spent with Zhu Houzhao.
"I'm thinking about how to have fun for other countries!" Zhu Houzhao did not hide it, and said directly: "I feel that the current Temujin and them are really living a little too easy. "
"Does Your Majesty think we are not working hard enough?" Shao Min also looked at Zhu Houzhao with some resentment when he heard this.
For Meng Yuan's actions, many of them are Shao Min in charge, and in fact, Shao Min is doing quite well.
At present, many of Daming's intelligence on Meng Yuan were collected by Shao Min.
"No, Minmin, Rong'er, you have done well enough!" Zhu Houzhao shook his head repeatedly, no matter how harsh the requirements for the two women, it was impossible to put forward higher requirements for Huang Rong and Shaomin in this matter.
After all, Shao Min and Huang Rong were not only collecting intelligence, 2.2 Moreover, they also arranged a large number of spies and spies to enter Meng Yuanwenwu's side.
There were even people who began to constantly pry these civilizations and martial arts, although these people were still honestly listening to Temujin's words on the surface, but Zhu Houzhao knew that as long as Temujin died, or could not continue to suppress these people, Meng Yuan would be torn apart at that time.
Moreover, the information about the phoenix egg before was also spread by Shao Min and Huang Rong.
The ability of these two men is beyond doubt.
"Xu is just thinking, if you let Tie Muzhen continue to attack like this, before the Southern Song Dynasty can make a move, Meng Yuan has already annexed the Northern Song Dynasty!" Zhu Houzhao sighed lightly: "The current Northern Song Dynasty is still too weak." d"
