Chapter 555 Shipbuilding

"Uncle, please eat something first!" Jiu'er carried a few plates of side dishes and a bowl of rice, stared at the tent curtain open with his back, and walked quickly to the bed on the right side. He just walked around the screen.

Suddenly he found Jiang Ran sitting on the soft mat, and he suddenly showed surprise: "Miss, you're awake!"

Jiang Ran, who was lying on the table and staring at Tang Ji, quickly raised his head and put his hand in front of his lips, signaling her to be quiet.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late. When he heard the little girl's call, Tang Ji got excited all over. He suddenly raised his head and turned to look at the bed behind him. His eyes were still squinted, but his mouth was one step ahead: "Of course,

Are you awake?"

But when his vision gradually became clearer, he found that there was no one on the bed. He turned his head and found that Jiang Ran was looking at him with a silly smile. Without hesitation, he immediately moved to the soft cushion on the side and took her into his arms: "

You silly girl, why didn’t you wake me up when you woke up!”

This sudden hug made Jiang Ran feel a little sluggish, her face turned slightly red, and she said softly: "Husband, I'm fine."

Tang Ji shook his head and was about to say something when he found that she was still kneeling on the soft mat. He quickly straightened up and helped her stand up: "You just woke up not long ago and your body has not fully recovered, let alone you are still pregnant."

How can you kneel on the ground when you are pregnant?"

After placing her on the bed, Tang Ji breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Tomorrow I will have people move out the things that are not in the tent and rearrange them. The mattress and quilt will also be replaced.

new"

Seeing his chatter, Jiang Ran looked helpless: "Husband, I'm only one month pregnant."

"Then you have to pay attention to rest and safety!" Tang Ji was very persistent, sitting next to her and holding her hand.

"Okay, it all depends on your husband." Jiang Ran couldn't resist him, so she had no choice but to compromise.

Tang Ji then nodded with relief and satisfaction. He really wanted to have a daughter, but he was more concerned about Jiang Ran's health. After all, with the current medical level, most people giving birth to a child is like walking through the gate of hell, so usually

The fetus must be cared for scientifically, and since it was still early, he planned to discuss with Mu Ying to train a group of professional midwives to protect Jiang Ran's safety and the birth of the child!

Jiu'er looked at the sweet daily life between the two of them, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he put the wooden tray beside him, and sorted out the four treasures of the study on the table.

"Jiu'er, don't move!" Seeing that she was about to mess up what she had written all night long, she quickly raised her hand to stop her, walked over quickly, arranged the papers on the table in order, and then called

Smell at the mouth.

"Uncle, what novelty are you doing again?" Jiu'er asked, blinking as he watched him take the things to the cabinet on the side.

Tang Ji raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "I can protect your stuff."

:.,

Seeing his mysterious look, Jiu'er was a little curious, but he didn't ask any further. After putting all the food on the tray on the table, he turned to look at Jiang Ran who was sitting on the bed: "Miss, are you 1

I haven’t eaten anything for the whole day, do you want to share something with uncle 1?"

"Okay!" In the past, it would have been okay even if he didn't eat on this hot day, but now that there was still a little life in his belly, Jiang Ran didn't refuse.

Hearing this, Jiu'er quickly stood up and trotted over to serve Jiang Ran food.

Seeing this, Tang Ji looked at it for a moment, then moved a normal-height square table and chairs in the corner to the bedside, wiped the dust off with his sleeves, brought the food up, and put the ready-made

He handed the rice to Jiang Ran: "Madam, eat first."

Jiang Ran was about to shake his head, but seeing his insistent look on his face, he had no choice but to reach out and take it, picked up the dish with small chopsticks and asked: "Husband, are the weapons gunpowder?"

When he was in Huaizhou, Tang Ji introduced gunpowder to her when he was destroying the gunpowder left behind to deal with the bandits. He did not choose to hide it. He nodded and explained: "It is based on gunpowder. I was not in a hurry to come up with thermal weapons."

, but now it seems that it’s too late if we don’t cultivate him anymore.”

Jiang Ran guessed that it was because of his assassination last night. He cut the long hair on his chest behind his shoulders and continued: "The three assassins killed many brothers and soldiers last night. They were all trying to protect me."

I just lost my life, I’m sorry!”

"How can I blame you?" Tang Ji held her hand and comforted softly: "I will definitely catch the escaped assassin and comfort the souls of the dead brothers. Later, I will also ask Ye Zheng to prepare a large sum of money.

Pensions are sent to their relatives."

Then, in order to prevent her from being stimulated by what happened last night, Tang Ji quickly changed the subject: "I don't know if Madam will give me a good daughter. Come on, let me hear it."

Jiang Ran was also successfully led astray by him. Seeing him putting his head on his belly, his face slightly red with embarrassment, he whispered: "It's only been a month, how can there be any movement!"

"It's been a month, how come there's no movement?" Tang Ji deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked.

Just at this time, Jiu'er came over again carrying a bowl of rice and two bowls of chicken soup. Seeing this, he hurriedly walked over and half-knelt down beside Tang Ji: "How are you, uncle? Is the young master moving? But Sister Mu Ying said that the child

There won’t be any action until 5 months later!”

"How about you listen?"

"Okay, okay!"

""

Looking at the two masters and servants like this, Jiang Ran's original confusion and fear about giving birth to a child also dissipated a little, and he couldn't help but patted Tang Ji's shoulder: "Okay, I'm hungry, do you want more?"

I’m done eating!”

"What? You want to build a ship?"

Three days later, a special meeting of Xiaoyao Pavilion was held in the courtyard rented by Tang Ji in Longling County. Not long after it started, Hua Yuan'er, who was drowsy sitting below, suddenly became energetic when he heard Tang Ji talk about his plan.

, couldn't help but exclaimed.

The space inside the room was closed but brightly lit. There were huge ice cubes placed everywhere. In the center was a conference table made up of three tables. Tang Ji stood on the north side. Behind him there was a wooden board with small wooden boards on it.

The iron nails fixed the map, some drawings and various documents. Tang Ji glanced at him and then said: "Yes, I want to build a fleet!"

Dong Wei, who had just arrived at Yinshui Bay last night, also attended this meeting as an exception. He became very interested in Tang Ji's plan and asked, "Sir, don't we have three boats? We really can't save the Sun family."

Just buy that one too."

Tang Ji shook his head and explained: "Not enough!"

Then, he picked up the drawing he had just drawn yesterday, unfolded it, and asked Ye Zheng to help him hang it on the wooden board at the back: "The ships we have now are all merchant ships, and they can transport cargo, but they must have combat capabilities.

It can almost be ignored, even getting on and off the ship is troublesome. This is a warship I designed. It is based on a wooden structure, with iron sheets added to the hull to increase defense. In addition, there is a high watchtower to ensure that the enemy is discovered as soon as possible.

, to carry out the attack, I planned 6 ships and 1 formation, and the initial goal is two formations. As long as these 12 ships can be launched, we will be the overlord of the sea!"

After hearing what he said, Li Qingmei, who was sitting on the other side, said calmly: "Sir, wouldn't it cost millions of taels of silver to build this ship?"

"Just a little more!" Tang Ji nodded and replied.

According to his estimation, even with the castrated configuration, the cost of building such a ship would be around 150,000 taels. If it were based on his original luxurious configuration, it might cost nearly 250,000 to 300,000 taels at most.

Hearing this, everyone present looked surprised. Zhou Ansheng glanced at Dong Wei, and then said: "Uncle, if we don't chase pirates every day, why build so many ships?"

In an instant, everyone's attention quickly shifted to Dong Wei.

But the latter didn't care. He stared at the drawings for a short while and asked the doubts in his heart: "Sir, why do you leave so many holes in the hull of each ship?"

"You'd better observe carefully." Tang Ji took out another drawing and hung it on the other side: "This is called a cannon. It can be loaded with shells and kill enemies thousands of miles away. Uh-huh, you can use it

I understand it as a kind of catapult, but the stones thrown by the cannon will explode and are powerful enough to kill enemies within a few feet. When the time comes, I will arm it on the battleship. Then as long as the cannon is fired on the ship, we can achieve the target.

Hai, double attack on 6!"

The Ming capital of Northern Chu and some important and developed cities are all on the seaside, and shipping is developed. It is said that the imperial court has a fleet with combat power. The people of Chu are so ambitious that they even give themselves medicine, so they have to guard against it!

After thinking for a while, he came back to his senses and was about to continue speaking, but found that the entire conference hall fell into silence.
