Zheng He’s treasure ship technology comes from the Song Dynasty?
It seems reasonable to think about it again, because the Yuan Dynasty suppressed the technology of the Song Dynasty, and the level of shipbuilding was definitely not a breakthrough in the Ming Dynasty, because the era of Zheng He belonged to the early Ming Dynasty, and the technical level of the Ming Dynasty had not been fully restored.
Han Jiang is interested in this ship.
If there is a steam engine within twenty years, coupled with the Qian family's craftsmen's shipbuilding skills, the sea...
Brother is invincible!
Han Jiang asked: "Brother Gaizhi, this ship costs a lot of money, right?"
Liu Guo asked back: "Is money a problem?"
hey-hey.
hehe.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Suddenly, Liu Guo put away his smile: "However, there are some things that cannot be bought for money."
"What?" Han Jiangxin said, there are still things that money can't buy?
Liu Guo replied: "Boat wood, according to Song Dynasty, every tree of boat wood is registered. There are a large amount of camphor wood on Fujian Road, and the imperial court has a lot of information. Without wood, how to build a ship. Like the giant ship in the Qian family's giant ship map, it is impossible to build without three thousand or five thousand woods."
Liu Guo was right. A few hundred Han Jiang might be able to get it, but tens of thousands of Han Jiangs can't.
After hearing this, Han Jiang burst into laughter: "Brother Geng, I have wood."
Liu Guo was very serious: "Is there really?"
Han Jiang nodded: "However, people in that place may not like me very much. There is a tree, and there is only one place in the world that has such a tree. The other places are better called Jizhen, and the rest are all fakes, but they look a bit like this. This kind of wood tree is fifteen meters high, at least eight feet thick, and straight."
“Good wood.”
"Not only that, this kind of tree has another advantage. It is not afraid of sea water, and it is not afraid of insect bites. The ships built are still available for a hundred years. The world's number one shipbuilding tree is not known, but the locals do not know it, and no one except me."
Liu Guo's eyes changed: "What wood?"
"True La Rouge Wood."
Liu Guo asked again: "But the tree has been born for fifty years, with a slight fragrance and a golden color?"
"right."
"I have seen it. I have been to Dali and seen this kind of wood. But it is not unique to Zhenla. There are some in the south of Dali. They grow in deep mountains and forests, and there are still century-old woods. Also, there may be some in Chameng, but they are not as good as Dali. Zhenla has never been to, so I don't know."
Han Jiang nodded suddenly: "Yes, this kind of wood is unique in the world. You can't find any kind of wood that can be surpassed on shipbuilding. It can also prevent shells."
Liu Guo didn't understand: "Master, what is a cannonball?"
"Ah!" Han Jiang rolled her eyes: "It's the stone thrown out of the catapult cart."
Lies, from Han Jiang's expression, Liu Guo knew that Han Jiang had concealed this thing called a cannonball, but it can be said to be certain that it was definitely a weapon for naval battles.
This kind of wood can prevent it, which means that other wood cannot be prevented.
It seems that this lord has many secrets, not just as simple as seeing the real Tuibei Picture.
Liu Guo didn't plan to ask more, but said: "Building ships, the lord must build ships. Let's start with Liu Qiu's century-old forests, and build a dock in Liu Qiu's southwest."
"Well, let's plan, this will have to wait for me to officially get married."
"Yes, of course we have to plan first. However, it is something that must be done."
Han Jiang didn't understand why Liu Guo was so active with the ship. After asking, Liu Guo replied: "Just say the two Japanese merchants that the Lord had met, as far as I know, why Genji was defeated by the Hirashi family, there is only one root cause."
"What is it?" Han Jiang did not know this history, nor did he study the history of Japan.
Liu Guo said: "Because the Ping family controlled Zhuzidao and sent ships to sea despite the ban on the Japanese royal family, which also attracted countless Japanese people to go to sea. Last year, hundreds of Japanese people fell to Mingzhou due to shipwrecks, and then begged all the way from Mingzhou to Lin'an Prefecture. The court gave each person fifty coins and two liters of rice, so they did not starve to death."
"It's too far-fetched. The Hei family and our Song Dynasty continued to trade, not only exchanged for a large amount of Song money, but also earned wealth. When Genji reacted, the situation was already out of reach. The lord was wise. No one in the Japanese island knew the importance of maritime commerce better than the Hei family and Genji. Choosing Genji, who is currently in a low position, is much better than the Hiraki who thinks he is noble."
Han Jiang understood what Liu Guo meant.
However, the court did not see the importance of maritime merchants.
"Building ships requires building ships." Liu Guo summarized his remarks.
Liu Guo and Han Jiang began to think about how to borrow the Qian family's shipmaker to build ships, and to build real big ships and big sea ships.
Speaking of Chuzhou.
Han Shi arrived.
The first thing Han Qi did when he arrived in Chuzhou was to stop Zhai Jian's plan.
Everyone was in the main hall of Zhangjiajia. Zhai Jian didn't understand: "Although the treasure is fake, it can cost more than 100,000 yuan and millions of yuan. No matter how valuable it is, you can buy a pair of shoes for the usual school."
Han Qi shook his head: "I just suggest that you are the top ones in protecting the people in the country, but how to make money, except for my uncle, I am the top one. Why do we need to bring treasures? I just say that this group of people are the accomplices of Wei Laogui. They sell private salt together and then accumulate money and make plans. Now, I think Yangzhou Prefecture and Huainan East Road will always ask these people for an explanation."
After hearing Han Qi's words, Wang Xilu's first reaction was.
All of this was thought by Han Qi before.
It was just said that it was a treasure lie, but Han Qi had not expressed his answers, and perhaps he was waiting for the present.
Just then, someone came in to report.
"Reported, the young master sent a ship to send something back."
It is said to be something, but it is actually a few large boxes, with the armor of Jin soldiers, a bitten head, and... a seal.
After seeing the letter, Han Qi laughed loudly, walked out with his hands on his back: "I'll go around, you can do whatever you want."
Although Wang Xilu couldn't bear it, he still said after thinking: "For the natural disaster, all the people are alive, and these salt merchants are not good people. They will never die, but their family property will always be reduced by a few cents."
Xin Qiji slapped the table: "It is good that the people are not hurt, but there are always a few evil merchants who searched their homes and destroyed their clans."
"Do it, do it." Wang Xilu couldn't persuade him again.
This seal is ironclad.
The seal of the Great Chu!
Of course, there is another ironclad evidence.
Wei Gong, who had broken an arm, was not only responsible for sending the seal back, but also putting a dragon robe on Wang Kexian, then exposed his bandage of his broken arm, and brought Wang Kexian to apologize.
Yu Shuniang already knew what Wei Gong was doing.
Wei Gong was just seeking money, but it was not betrayal. It was an explanation for the fact that he had cut off his arm. Then he was convicted of being deceived and returned to his fate. He exposed the conspiracy between Wang Kexian and Zhang Jiu.
