Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 582 Trials
If you want to conquer the sea, you can't rely on the lucky boat alone. Large treasure ships over [-] feet long are the main combat power to conquer the sea.
With the successful manufacture of the first Fuchuan, at this time, Li Chun's heart is full of confidence.

Hearing Li Mu questioning him, Li Chun quietly thought about how he should answer.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Chun replied: "The general waits quietly. It may take half a year if it is fast, and it may be a year if it is slow. The lower officials will definitely be able to build a large ship of more than [-] feet."

After all, shipbuilding is not something that happens overnight. It is reasonable to say that it takes half a year to a year to build a ship that is more than [-] feet long.

After hearing Li Chun's reply, Li Mu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay, everyone will do their best!"

Li Mu also knew that there was no rush for scientific research.The difficulty of building a treasure ship of three to fifty feet in this era is no less than that of aircraft carriers in later generations.

Think about it, how much effort my rabbit has spent in building my own aircraft carrier.It is so difficult in later generations, let alone in the era of the Sui Dynasty.

In all things, what is the most taboo, the most taboo is layman commanding experts.

Originally, these things could be done satisfactorily, but if you are an outsider directing an expert, then even simple things may be messed up.

Therefore, in the matter of building sea-going ships, Li Mu can be said to have given Li Chun enough overall planning.

If Li Chun wants someone, Li Mu will give it to others.Li Chun asked for money, and Li Mu gave him the money.

All in all, it is to give what you want, and mobilize all your strength to cooperate with them.In this regard, Li Mu only had one request, that is, to build sea-going ships over [-] feet as soon as possible.

After Li Mu gave some instructions, he left the shipyard.

As soon as Li Mu walked away, the shipyard exploded on the back.

"Master Li, can we build a sea-going ship of more than [-] feet in half a year?"

"Every ten feet of this sea-going ship will be a technical problem, and there will inevitably be many difficult problems at that time!"

"Fumbled for half a year, I'm afraid it won't work for a year!"

"So, if you boast so much, I'm afraid the task will not be completed, and the general will blame it!"

These craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, you and I whispered in Li Chun's ears, which made Li Chun very irritable.

"Snapped!"

Li Chun slapped the table with a slap, and angrily scolded: "You say you have failed before you even started, and why would you have the face to take my salary from the Great Sui Dynasty?"

"Those who can do it will do it, and those who can't do it will go away."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. We have already taken the first step. Why can't we build a ship of more than [-] feet in half a year?"

Because Li Chun is young, his qualifications in the Ministry of Industry are also low, and among the craftsmen he brought, many of them are old people from the Ministry of Industry and the Master of Craftsmanship.

These old people thought they were highly experienced and did not take Li Chun seriously. Li Chun was usually kind and kind, but today Li Chun was rarely angry.

Originally, Li Chun thought, as long as he doesn't delay his work, it doesn't matter if these people look down on him or his family, it's okay to just turn a blind eye and close one eye.

But now, some people just say some frustrating words, which obviously have affected morale, and Li Chun couldn't help but get angry.

After Li Chun got angry, these people also calmed down.

Li Chun said that those who can do it will do it, and those who can't do it will get out.

The key is, where can the fuck out go.

They came to build the ship, which was ordered by Li Mu and ordered by Yang Guang.Now that he is gone, it is tantamount to offending Li Mu and Yang Guang, the two most powerful people in the Sui Dynasty, at the same time.

If you go, you definitely can't go, and you don't dare to go!
If anyone leaves at this time, the official is afraid that it will be the end.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene was very awkward. At this moment, someone smoothed things over and said, "Hey, what is Master Li talking about!"

"Since we are all here, we must work together to make this matter perfect! The adults are just complaining, there is no other meaning."

"Yep!"

"We are also worried about the progress of the project, not for other reasons!" The craftsmen who complained just now seemed to feel that they were in the wrong, and quickly confessed.

At this time, Li Chun straightened his face, and said in a deep voice: "Since the date of completion is set by me, Li Chun, and the general, everyone should work hard!"

"If it is really difficult to complete the work when the time comes, it will be my fault, Li Chun, and it has nothing to do with you adults."

These craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry are all old officials.In addition to being proficient in the way of craftsman, their way of being an official is also top-notch, and each of them will become very smooth.

"Master Li, what are you talking about. Since everyone is serving the country together, how can you let Master Li alone bear the burden!"

"Yep!"

"We rush to work day and night, half a year should be enough, maybe it will take less than a year!"

"This statement is justified, nothing is difficult in the world if there is a heart!"

In a blink of an eye, those ministers who were still complaining just now changed their words one by one.

In this officialdom, he is so realistic.Although Li Chun was their superior, the previous Li Chun was a bit weak and deceitful, so none of these old fritters took Li Chun too seriously.

Now, after Li Chun got angry, these old fritters respected Li Chun instead.This is the reality in the officialdom.

It can be said that this officialdom is like a spring. If you are weak, he will be strong, and if you are strong, he will be weak.

Some people are trying to smooth things over, some are playing tricks, and some are admitting cowardice.As a result, the atmosphere at the scene eased up a lot.

Seeing these people give up, Li Chun couldn't care less about it.

"My lords, let's do some research, and then let's change how to build sea-going ships!" Li Chun's words softened a bit.

Not long after, academic discussions on shipbuilding began at the scene.

"Every time the length and height of this ship increases, the pressure on the keel will increase greatly! In this way, we need to increase the strength of the keel!"

"That's a good statement. In addition, we have to find a way to reduce the weight of the hull while strengthening the keel!"

These officials from the Ministry of Industry were discussing with each other the issue of sea-going ship technology. You said something, and I said something, and the atmosphere quickly entered the atmosphere.

Once they entered the state of research, the atmosphere on the scene became hot, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten what just happened.

I have to say that Li Chun is indeed a capable person.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

With the concerted efforts of many craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, the first treasure ship is finally about to be completed.

This treasure ship is about 33 feet long, nearly 50 meters.Although it was still a little short of Zheng He's giant treasure ship of more than [-] feet, it was already a big step forward for Li Chun and others.

Because the structure, shape, and other aspects of the treasure ship are different from the blessing ship.Therefore, in order to build treasure ships, it is impossible to copy the construction experience of Fuchuan in many places.

In order to make this treasure ship as reasonable as possible, Li Chun did not know how many days and nights he did not close his eyes.

Now, the overall structure of the treasure ship is finally about to be completed, and Li Chun can be regarded as worthy of the general's trust, and he can give the general an explanation.

In the middle of the dock, a nearly [-]-meter-long behemoth stopped there, and craftsmen were doing the final work on the hull.

Since the main work has been completed, the remaining work is nothing more than repairing the cabins on some hulls and these living places.

"Hey, this treasure ship is finished!"

"Unfortunately, the general is not here!"

"If the general comes back again, I might be so happy!"

Many craftsmen gathered around the treasure ship and spoke one after another.These people present were very satisfied with the treasure ship they worked together to build.

From a professional point of view, they are all very satisfied with this treasure ship, let alone Li Mu, who is a layman and half-hearted.

In short, no matter who it is, seeing such a huge ship with a length of [-] meters in this era can feel the shock in the soul.

Just from the ship itself, this treasure ship can now be regarded as the first ship of the Sui Dynasty!

Even the dragon boat that Yang Guang traveled on at the beginning was far inferior to this treasure ship.

"I have already sent someone to notify the general quickly. If I think about it, the general will return in a few days. At that time, it will be the day when this treasure ship is launched!" Li Chun said to everyone.

As the saying goes, it's a mule or a horse, and he pulls it out for a walk.

Whether this treasure ship is good or bad, no matter how you look at it now, how you praise it, it's all on paper.

If you really want to know whether this ship is good or bad, you have to go into the water and try it out.

But this launch, they didn't launch it just as they said, they had to wait for the general to come and watch the treasure ship launch with his own eyes.

Daxing City.

In the past few days, Li Mu happened to return to Daxing City to report to Yang Guang.

When Li Mu was building a ship in Huating County, Yang Guang would send a letter every ten days and half a month, asking about the progress of the shipbuilding.

Obviously, Yang Guang is also very concerned about the progress of the shipbuilding.

Of course, rather than saying that Yang Guang cared about the progress of the shipbuilding, it might be better to say that he was interested in the other side of the sea.

If you want to explore the other side of the sea, the first thing you need to do is build a ship.

Only with a ship can one be able to explore the sea, and without a sea-going ship, everything is empty talk.

Li Mu returned to Daxing City and reported some recent work to Yang Guang. After learning that the treasure ship was about to be completed, Yang Guang was very excited.

At this time, Yang Guang wished he could get on this treasure ship and take a look at the sea in person.

It's a pity, as an emperor, Yang Guang should not move lightly, and he might never have the chance to conquer the sea in this life.

After all, in this era, there are too many dangers and unknowns on the sea.

After Li Mu reported his work to Yang Guang, he just stayed in Daxing City for two or three days, and before spending a few days with his wife and children, Li Chun sent a fast horse to report.

After learning that the treasure ship had been built, Li Mu immediately decided to rush back to Huating County overnight after anxiously waiting for him to go back to test the voyage.

Before leaving, many wives and children were reluctant to part.

However, state affairs are the most important thing.

"Master, you must be careful on the road!"

"Sir, you are a great general and the prince of the Sui Dynasty. You don't dare to mess around in this sea!"

"Yes, let others go on this sea!"

The four ladies told you one sentence, and I told Li Mu not to approach the sea easily.

People in this era know that the sea is full of unknowns and dangers. If you can go to the surface of the sea, it is best not to go.

Li Mu smiled, nodded and said: "My husband knows that after leaving this time, he will come back in at most two or three months. At that time, he will not leave again in a short time, so I can stay with you!"

After the treasure ship's trial voyage, as long as everything is ok, then the shipyard's affairs are on the right track.At that time, Li Mu will be able to relax a lot.

At that time, you won't have to stare at Huating County every day, and you can return to Daxing City to spend time with your wife and children.

Speaking of this, Li Mu's four wives couldn't help but have moist eyes.My husband is too hardworking, working hard for the national scholars every day.

"It's good to be fair and safe, and you don't need to worry about your family!" The four wives said again and again.

Li Mu's wives are all people who know the overall situation and the general situation, so they naturally know that all state affairs are the most important.

"Rack, rack, rack."

Li Mu stepped onto the white dragon colt and rushed back to Huating County overnight with a team of guards.

After seven days.

Huating County, shipyard.

"One two, one two."

"One two one, one two one."

There are logs under the hull, and the boatmen pull the boat so that the hull moves on the logs.

Because the treasure ship is too big, tens of thousands of boatmen were used to launch the treasure ship.

With the sound of trumpets, the treasure ship moved slowly on the rolling logs.

"Boom."

There was only a loud noise, and the huge bow of the ship smashed into the water, and then the whole hull was rowed into the sea.

"General, please board the ship!"

Immediately after the treasure ship entered the sea, a boatman straightened the hull, drove the ship to the pier, and invited Li Mu to board.

Li Mu got on the treasure ship, stood on the deck and looked at the blue sea in the distance, feeling that the sea was already in my pocket.

Although the treasure ship of more than thirty feet has not yet reached the peak fleet of Zheng He's seven voyages to the West.

However, you must know that the Ming Dynasty is still thousands of years away from now.In this era, with such a ship, it is enough to cross the sea.

After strolling around the sea by boat, it can be regarded as a test of this treasure ship.

"The bow, stern, and sides need to install some bed crossbows to prevent pirates!" Li Mu instructed Li Chun.

"pirate?"

"Are there bandits on this sea?" Li Chun asked puzzled.

In fact, at this time, most of the maritime trade is offshore trade.The farthest maritime merchants did not pass through the Central and South Asian generations of later generations.

Moreover, most of them are trades carried out spontaneously by some coastal merchants.

This is an era when maritime trade has just sprouted, and pirates have not yet been born.

However, everything must be prepared for a rainy day. Once the maritime trade develops rapidly, a large number of pirates will inevitably be born.
