This steam engine was eventually named Fuxing-1 steam engine by Li Jie. With it, ships in the future no longer need to rely on sails, oars, or manpower to drive. As long as a steam engine is installed on the ship, it can sail even against the wind.
, directly getting rid of the troubles of monsoon.
No matter when and where you want, you can walk, and in this era of naval battles, ship speed is the key. I can run faster than you, I can fight when I want, I can walk when I want, I can advance and retreat freely, and I am almost invincible.
, even the most advanced clipper ships cannot match steam engine ships.
Not only that, in addition to its application in navigation, it can also be used in other fields such as gun making, cannon making, armor forging, mining, textiles, machine tools, etc., anything that requires fixed kinetic energy can basically be used.
With it, the productivity will definitely increase by leaps and bounds, and it is perfect for use in violent attacks. After all, the steam engine is a big killer for time travellers. Moreover, Li Jie has been prepared for it. If the steam engine cannot be used to its full potential, he has experienced it before.
Having so many copies is not a waste of effort.
After inspecting the power laboratory, Li Jie went to the salt flats, sugar mills, shipyards, and mining sites. These places are still under construction and will take some time to officially start. After yesterday's speech, the island's
The residents were so enthusiastic about their work that they couldn't wait to work overtime day and night.
After inspecting the last place, Li Jie asked casually: "Xiao Yu'er, how are the training of those group of merchants?"
Liu Xiaoyu chuckled: "It's almost done. I guess it will come in handy in a little while."
Li Jie paused slightly and turned to look at him: "Oh? What about the supplies being sold?"
"Preparations have been completed. The first batch of subordinates are thinking that the shipment volume should not be too large. These items are all stocks left over from previous production on shore."
Li Jie nodded lightly: "By the way, what is the name of the leader of that group of people? Have you changed their name?"
The names of the Hu people were different from the names of the Song people. Liu Xiaoyu thought for a moment before replying.
"My boss, the name of the foreigner translated into our words seems to be Polonicolo. My subordinates don't know what name the foreigner changed to him, so they plan to give him an official name directly."
'Polo Niccolò?'
Li Jie thought this name sounded a bit familiar. By the way, wasn't Marco Polo's father called by this name? Could it be that they were father and son?
'That's not right. According to historical records, the father and son should have taken the land route. How could they meet Sanli and the others at sea?'
"Is there one among these prisoners named Pormacchi?"
Liu Xiaoyu glanced at Li Jie in surprise, thinking, how could his boss know this name? Does his boss know this group of people?
"Uh, yes, there is indeed a man named Polonico. He is the son of Polonicolo. Boss, do you know them?"
Li Jie smiled slightly and waved his hand: "I don't know, but I happened to have heard of these two people. By the way, did they say what they wanted to do in Song Dynasty this time?"
"Speaking of which, these merchants deserve to die. According to Polonicolo's confession, they came here to do business with the Mongols. They found a lot of jewelry, jade and various spices from their beds, worth no less than ten thousand dollars.
Jin, hehe, we are all advantaged this time!"
‘Huh? Marco Polo and his son have hooked up with the Mongols?’
When Li Jie heard this, he suddenly had other thoughts, wondering if he could use their father and son to do something. However, he just had this idea in his mind and had not yet figured out how to do it. Anyway, this matter is not urgent, so he will wait.
Wait, wait until the Mongolian Great Khan Wokuotai burps. By then, the Mongols will definitely fight openly and secretly to compete for the throne. That will be the best time to enter the market.
The longer the Mongolian civil strife lasts, it will be of huge benefit to the Song Dynasty, the people, and himself.
"Watch these merchants carefully, especially their leader. Don't kill him. I will still be useful in the future."
Although Liu Xiaoyu was a little confused, since his boss had spoken, he just listened to it. This was what his brother had told him. Don't speculate on his boss's thoughts at will. Just listen to his orders. He will benefit from him in the future.
Not to mention anything else, the boss not only saved the two brothers from the fate of being mud-legged, but also allowed them to learn literature and martial arts.
The martial arts that Li Jie distributed to his subordinates to learn were all cultivated by the royal family in the world's best world. No one in this world came to him to collect copyright fees. The world's best world is a Chinese martial arts world, and the royal family can dominate the world.
The martial arts learned by masters in the inner circle are naturally not ordinary martial arts. They are definitely first-class martial arts in the world. If they are mastered by some small sects, they must regard these martial arts as the unique skills of the sect.
"By the way, and also, has the female Taoist priest I brought confessed?"
Liu Xiaoyu looked troubled, Li Mochou's tone was too tight, and she had used all the conventional methods, but she still hadn't revealed any information about the sect, unless she used some despicable means, but those methods happened to be prohibited.
In the regulations, the owner has repeatedly stated that those methods are prohibited.
Li Mochou was extremely beautiful. The guards who were guarding her had never seen such a beautiful woman. They almost made a big mistake. If Su Shan hadn't happened to bump into her, the female Taoist priest would have been ruined by them.
"Not yet. Are you anxious about this matter? Considering that she just suffered a serious injury, Brother Su Shan didn't do anything serious. Do you want to inform Brother Su Shan to speed up the progress?"
Li Jie was silent for a while, then shook his head. He is different from Yang Guo in the original work. Mu Nianci is living well. He doesn't want to get too involved with Peach Blossom Island and the Quanzhen Sect. Without these opportunities, it will be natural.
There is no way to contact Xiao Longnu without leaving any trace.
Is it possible for him to pretend to be pitiful and follow the plot of the original novel?
Li Jie had not thought about this idea, but in the end he rejected it. The most important thing was that the stall here was too big and he really couldn't leave for a long time. It would not be too late to wait until everything was on track to start slowly.
Anyway, without his participation now, with Xiao Longnu's cold temperament, she would not easily leave the ancient tomb. Dragon Knight Yin Zhiping would have no chance to do that kind of thing. As for Li Mochou, he would definitely not let go.
After she left, she was destined to never cause trouble again in her life.
Unless one day she regrets it, considering that she is a master of poison, it is not impossible to save her life. Her future can only be a tool, using her to continuously create poisons to deal with
Mongol.
"No, there's no rush in this matter, just take your time."
