Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 15 Giving Suez a chance to change its name

Arrangements for going to sea will take about half a month.

At that time, there should have been two steamships built.

But it doesn’t mean you can go to sea directly if you have a boat.

During this period, some preparation work needs to be done.

For example, train people!

Over at the guard station, some soldiers must be mobilized.

The other thing is firearms.

In the next year, firearms have actually appeared, but not yet in Lingnan, but Zhu Xi has a system. For the technology that has appeared in this world, he only needs to spend points to upgrade it.

Zhu Xiang spent 50 construction points to upgrade the firearm technology to a flintlock gun. The construction cost of this kind of gun is also low. The key is to give Zhu Xiang a special talent: Mahan!

Han names, hair color and skin color, and memories of the Ming Dynasty.

But in fact, this person was the inventor of the flintlock gun.

He was also proficient in the languages ​​of the major European principalities in the Middle Ages.

Zhu Ping was naturally overjoyed and immediately arranged for Ma Han to go to the dock, because there were many tools there that would allow him to show off his skills. For this purpose, Zhu Ping also arranged for personal escort to escort him.

After a busy day, Zhu Ping looked at the sunset and saw that his construction points had increased by [-] points.

Now Panyu, after Zhu Ping spent money regardless of the cost and controlled all the land and population, has officially entered the wave of large-scale construction, and the construction points are no longer increasing by a few points or even ten points a day. up.

But today, more than 300 construction points were added.

However, the pace of construction has not stopped yet.

Zhu Xi took a nap first.

When I woke up the next day, the construction points had increased to five hundred.

It can be seen that the pace of construction in Panyu is now non-stop day and night.

As soon as Zhu Xi went out, he saw the spacious road, and even the concrete was being laid at the entrance of the government office. At the same time, behind the government office, the palace had begun construction, and after turning two streets, the foundations were being laid there, ready for construction. campus.

The foundation of the community has also begun to be built.

At this time, there were no heavy industries such as cranes and earth presses, so it relied entirely on manpower, as well as cattle and horses. Zhu Ping turned on the system at this time.

The technology icon of the power plant can already be lit.

Exactly five hundred points.

Hydropower, wind power, all basic power generation technologies, including direct current and alternating current technology. When Zhu Ping lit up, another talent was obtained: Li Sila!
The archetypal character is the father of alternating current.

Similarly, it has the memories of the Ming Dynasty people of this era and the knowledge reserves of previous lives.

Zhu Xi immediately found Xiang Hai and asked him to arrange extra manpower to follow Li Sila to prepare for the construction of the power plant.

Lingnan is relatively rich in water resources, so it is natural to start with the water power plant. In fact, the principle of building a power plant is also very simple. After mastering the technology, and with Li Sila's existence, there is no problem at all.

Three days later, the cement road in front of the government office had dried up and solidified.

Stepping on the cement road, Zhu Xi looked at the [-] points in his mind and smiled as he clicked on a large basic technology chain... basic home appliance technology gift package!
These include five technologies: rice cookers, electric fans, electric kettles, bicycles, and light bulbs.

When Zhu Xi lit up, he directly obtained a book.

Zhu Ping kept part of the bicycle and sent the rest to Li Sila.

At this time, Zhu Ping was accompanied by a newly acquired talent.Stunt talent, Zhu Benci!

The prototype of this man is the father of the automobile.

In his professional field, his knowledge reached 95 points.

Like Li Sila, he is second only to Mr. Yuan.

Of course, with one thousand and eighty construction points, just one special talent is not enough.

Zhu Fang also received four elite-level talents and fifty professional-level talents, including the two talents who were good at diplomacy that Zhu Fang wanted.

They are all proficient in the languages ​​​​of seven or eight countries.

At this time, Panyu was also the same for three days.

Because now Zhu Xi has no shortage of manpower at all.

In the three counties of Panyu, Dongguan and Xin'an, one by one, even some old men have joined the Construction Bureau. Anyway, they have food to eat and wages, so who wants to starve to death?Some women who had nothing to do at home and no children to take care of were also arranged to enter workshops to learn production.

The money in Zhu Ping's hands was getting less and less day by day.

Now his daily expenses have exceeded ten thousand taels of silver.

If this continues, he will be able to survive for forty days at most before running out of money.

What to do then?
Zhu Ping was not worried at all.

Because forty days is enough!
Ten days later, Zhu Ping received the first good news.

The dock is finished.

The two steamships are both 98 meters long, about 15 meters wide, and have a displacement of nearly [-] tons.

Moreover, there are artillery pieces on it.

All are equipped with steam engines, and more than one.

The ship is also equipped with sails and even eight small cannons and two large cannons.

This is from Mahan's handwriting.

After he arrived at the shipyard, he not only developed a flintlock gun based on Zhu Xi's technology and his knowledge, but also had time to develop an artillery gun. The range was more than a kilometer, and the power was naturally not weak.

This news made Zhu Xi very happy.

His age of great navigation has arrived!
He wants the whole world to tremble!

Kill, loot...conquer!
He should be the first to do these things.

Moreover, he is the only one!
Zhu Xi immediately summoned Huang Wanfu and Luo Hang, and asked He Gui to arrange for them to each lead [-] elite soldiers to accompany him to the dock. In addition, he asked Xianghai to send a lot of ordinary or even inferior porcelain and raw silk. These ten They also brought [-] pieces of cloth produced in the workshop during the day, as well as a lot of tea, all of which were shipped.

Then Zhu Xi gave Huang Wanfu and Luo Hang two different routes.

Huang Wanfu was directly arranged to take a thousand soldiers, some talents, firearms and a small amount of supplies to Australia; Luo Hang was brought with two talents who were good at diplomacy, some professional-level talents, and [-] people wearing firearms, and A large amount of supplies, heading to the West.

The route given by Zhu Xi has always allowed Huang Wanfu to reach the Suez Grand Canal!
But now, this canal is still land.

Zhu Ping told the two elite diplomats accompanying him: "There are many countries to the west from here that can be traded with. However, ships cannot pass here. If we take a detour, the voyage will be too far and the gain will not be worth the loss. After you get there, We should find a way to discuss with the local king to open the canal. If the other king is unwilling to build it, he will spare no financial resources and directly purchase this place! Therefore, this place will become a golden waterway that can really generate money in the future!"

In fact, Zhu Xi could already predict that at this time, Egypt, or Miser's country, would definitely not be willing to pay to open the canal.

This is an opportunity.

A chance to rename the Suez Canal and have it under your control!
This place in the future is the life gate of the world’s waterways!
