Chapter 49 This is called a dinosaur
For a long time, the adventure in Southeast Asia has become the hottest topic in China.
The princes all yearned for the legendary treasure land of fairyland and the legendary spice mountain. We are currently in the stage of a truce and will not be able to fight in the past two years. Therefore, our focus is on the post-war reconstruction work. Even Lu Bu, who did not know how to build, asked Chen Gong and Chen Deng for more advice.
No one was too much money. Lu Bu was so shameless that he asked Liu Ming to go south again as his father-in-law. When he asked him to send ten ships to follow the fleet south. Cao ** was a little darker and directly asked Liu Ming to go out five ships, which was considered to be filial to him. If it didn't matter, he could give money, wait for the spices and other things to come back and pay back the money after selling them... Old Cao, can you still be black?
Liu Ming directly rejected these two people. Lu Bu's excuse was very simple. His shipyard could not build ocean-going ships. It would be better not to follow him if he didn't want to capsize. Lao Cao's side was simpler. He was short of funds and only accepted orders and did not accept loans.
If you want to buy it, it will still be sold, but the price will naturally not be cheap, but it is cheaper than other princes. This is the biggest discount for him by his son-in-law. Tnnd, I don’t think about what Cao Jie came from, and it was not what Lao Cao stuffed him himself?! It’s already given him face if he didn’t sell it as a maid or a product!
To be honest, this news is really hard to release.
I just released it and said I would sell the boat, but the order flew over like snowflakes. Not only the princes, but also the great families of the aristocratic families ordered one after another. The disciples of the three sects did not respond, but I am afraid that the orders of the aristocratic families in Shu would not be related to them.
What is even more unpleasant is that according to the latest information from the Jinyiwei, the disciples of the three sects have begun to clean up the smoky areas in Yunnan and other places, and have to open an official road from Yunnan to the Indochina Peninsula. As for what they are doing, they can be guessed with their knees.
It is not difficult to build a ship. As long as you have money and wood, you can come out just a little bit. Compared with the military restrictions, ships have no restrictions at all. As long as there is enough supplies, Liu Ming can fill the entire sea with ships within an hour.
But how could Liu Ming not be mindful? When manufacturing, his function was mainly to reduce the defense ability by 50%. He could basically defend against strong winds and rains, but it was difficult to defend against artillery. According to Liu Ming's current artillery power, the artillery attacks three miles away can directly penetrate the hull. If you use a flowering bullet, you can directly crush a large hull.
Besides, Liu Ming is only responsible for the hull, and Liu Ming does not match the weapons. This is a matter of course, and the person who places the order dares not say anything. As for the crew, Liu Ming welcomes others to hire the crew he provides, but there are really no fools in this world.
Liu Mingke made a lot of money by selling these ships and invested his money in education and infrastructure. He immediately added two broad official roads, and several counties and counties with more primary and junior high schools.
In mid-next, the first imperial examination will be held in various prefectures and counties, and Liu Ming is looking forward to that day.
There was one thing that made Liu Ming feel very pleased, that is, Cao Jie personally came forward and told Liu Ming not to give him such preferential treatment. Even his father, Cao Jie, who was married, still based on the principle of following the husband when he got married, and was considering him from Liu Ming's perspective.
Liu Ming comforted her, sweet words were naturally indispensable, and he fooled the little beauty into a hot skin and weak body, and fell directly into his arms. Unfortunately, a year of abstinence...
When Cao Cao learned about this, he felt very depressed. Why did his daughter turn against him when she married someone? Sure enough, her daughters were all splashed with water, and if she married someone, she would have no father or brother.
The fleet was confirmed to be heading south around next year, but after the Eastern Wu received the ship, it seemed that it would immediately start heading south. Liu Ming deliberately increased the defenses of Yizhou and Yazhou for this reason, but this time the Eastern Wu did not intend to attack the two places.
Obviously, the family of the Eastern Wu has begun to put pressure on Sun Quan. At present, Liu Ming's intermediate and advanced navigation technology is still needed, otherwise the fleet will not be able to leave the coast. Going south to explore is already a great risk. If you get into Liu Ming again, wouldn't Eastern Wu have no chance to go to Nanyang?
The four major families in Jiangdong directly accounted for more than 70% of the officials under Sun Quan's rule, so the four families jointly put pressure on them. Even if Sun Quan was unhappy, Liu Ming had to compromise.
The Eastern Wu fleet actually didn't go much far. It just swayed on the Indochina Peninsula and built a temporary port or something. They didn't have the ability at all. Without navigation charts and sextant, they crossed the ocean to the Southeast Asian archipelago.
I got some rare birds and beasts and found some supplies that were not found in the Central Plains. But spices, gems, etc. are naturally impossible to find.
After finally returning to Wujun, the expenses of this voyage were even higher than the gains. When the news spread, the princes who were preparing to go on an adventure next year suddenly laughed out loud. Sun Quan's willful deeds also became a laughing stock for many aristocratic families and princes.
Interestingly, since this happened, does Sun Quan still have the shame to participate in next year's expedition? To be honest, I'm afraid many people are looking forward to next year's arrival.
Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and the winter snow and snow had covered the northern land with a layer of white.
A huge convoy, from southeast Liaodong, finally returned to Yecheng. Since they set off two months ago, they have finally completed the task assigned by Liu Ming.
In Yecheng, a vast building is also being built. The Academy of Sciences has just completed the most primitive cement, and now these cements are trying to build this building.
The convoy slowly drove into Yecheng, and the things on the carriage were tightly sealed by curtains.
"Hey? This is not the troops of Zhenbei Army, why did they come here?" Someone recognized the clothes of the escorts of the convoy, so he muttered strangely.
Just last year, Liu Ming set up a special number for various troops. This army stationed in Liaozhou is the Zhenbei Army, which is mainly responsible for the guards of Liaozhou and the north.
"You can't say that those who drive are all personal guards. It's certain that the general sent them to transport these things north to the north. These things should be very important, so the Zhenbei Army was responsible for escorting them!" The person who heard this next to him expressed his opinion.
"But what is there in Liaozhou that needs to be mobilized to get it back?" another person asked.
"Who knows? Maybe something that can only be produced there? The only thing that is certain is that it is all hard things." The person who helped analyze before pointed to the convoy.
Through the curtains, we can at least see that it is something clearly defined and hard. But no one can say what it is.
"It's not a stone, right?" Someone gave a guess.
"If it's a stone, it would be so hard to do?" Someone soon denied this speculation.
The convoy slowly advanced and then came to the huge building. Of course, at this moment, only the outer wall was built, and the inside was working overtime. However, the building was really big, and the empty place was completely enough to stack these things.
"Okay, the supplies have been delivered safely. We will go and change the official documents and go back!" Tian Zhou, general of Zhenbei Army, bowed to the general of the personal guards and said.
"I've worked hard all the way!" The general of the personal guard greeted with a smile.
"It's nothing, this time I've opened my eyes a rare moment!" Tian Zhou smiled and left with his men.
Looking at the things that started uninstalling, the guard smiled.
Did you see him openly? Yes, I won’t talk about him anymore, I also opened my eyes.
In the following days, not only from Liaodong, but also from major regions in the north, a large number of such things began to be transported one after another. These things were transported to this building one after another, and the soldiers around the building also increased as time went by. In the end, the three layers inside and three layers inside were not allowed to be approached by anyone at all. As for the construction workers, they all became tight-lipped soldiers, so don’t expect to come in without any relevant personnel.
Everyone was curious about these things, not only the people, but also the civil and military ministers. Unfortunately, no matter how they asked, the guards refused to say it. Liu Ming issued a death order, so who dared to reveal the execution of the nine clans?
There is no way, everyone can only hope that this place will open as soon as possible.
As a result, after waiting for a winter, until spring is in full bloom and the Spring Festival is over, and seeing that my neck is already looking forward to becoming a giraffe, Liu Ming then notified the civil and military ministers to visit the dinosaur museum.
What? Visit the Dragon?!
Whether it is true or not, if you just listen to the word dragon, everyone will be less calm and even ignore the word "death". They will not do the work at hand anymore. If they don't look at the legendary dragon, they will not be at ease in anything they do.
As everyone was looking forward to it, Liu Ming took everyone into the museum.
One by one, one by one, was instantly seen by the civil and military ministers. What they brought were infinite shock and even a little fear.
Chapter completed!
