Chapter 9 A Potion of Strong Medicine

Donte took people with him to measure data at the beach.

Suddenly, a personal guard came to report: "Tang Gong, Your Highness invites you to come."

"Okay!" Tangt nodded.

Donte left the beach.

While on the way, he was still talking to several of his students.

"Your Highness wants to go to sea, the port is the key, but right now there is not enough mature technology to support it!" Tangte sighed, pointing to the endless sea and said: "And if you want to conquer the sea, ships are indispensable. The key point is that Lingnan currently has no mature technology to support it."

shipbuilding!

As a mechanic, when you set a goal, you will naturally move towards that goal in your heart.

Now, the sea is right in front of you.

But how to conquer it?

In Tangte's heart, there is knowledge that transcends this era.

There is also great pride.

However, I don’t know how to take the first step.

The limitations of the times!

At this time, he also had a lot of regrets in his heart.

If only there were steamships...

After thinking about it, Tangte met Zhu Xiang.

"Your Highness." Donte stepped forward to pay homage.

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "Tang Gong came just in time. My king's dock has been built. I asked you to come over just to take a look."

"Your Highness has built a dock?" Tangte was a little surprised. He originally thought that the dock Zhu Xi mentioned might still be under construction, and it should still be the traditional dock of this era.

However, when Zhu Xi took him into the dock, Tangte looked extremely shocked.

There were many mature machines in the dock, which made Donte extremely happy. He picked up a wrench and said: "Your Highness, it turns out that you have already..."

"Tang Gong, don't be excited. There are many machines inside. You can check them out, or even stay here to develop your machinery. I have ordered that two steamships be built at the same time. I will also need Tang Gong's steam engines. !" Zhu Xi smiled.

Tangte said happily: "Okay! But Your Highness, over there at the workshop..."

"It doesn't matter. If the workshop is built, it will probably take more than a month. You will be responsible for manufacturing machinery here first. There are many basic equipment here, as well as steel plates and pig iron, and there is even oil in the warehouse." Zhu Xi was also very happy.

The built dock comes with a lot of building materials.

In addition, there are more than a dozen semi-finished steamboats.

There's even oil!

This is the most important.

The oil refining process is not difficult at all for Donte.

Therefore, Zhu Xi planned to let Tang Te take charge of the dock first.

According to the construction schedule, under full construction speed, the two semi-finished ships will be completed in about a month.

At that time, Donte will be responsible for building a matching steam engine, and he can try to go to sea.

Tang Te said the golden waterway, this is not a joke.

Because the early Ming Dynasty was on the eve of the Age of Discovery.

Going overseas now is definitely a huge profit.

Even, it's not just profiteering.

And land and population!
So, in fact, in Zhu Xi's view, this is a road of conquest!
The countries of Southeast Asia are separated by Australia.

And Lu Song.

The countries of Malacca...

These are all still undeveloped virgin lands!
As for Zhu Xi, what he wants to do now is to be the first person to pick peaches.

Arrangements were made for Donte to stay and preside over the shipyard operations.

In addition, Zhu Xi also left a group of guards.Then he started on his way back.

Two days later, he received news that Mr. Yuan had returned to Panyu ahead of schedule.

Zhu Xi rushed back without stopping, and the first thing he did was to confirm Mr. Yuan's safety.

This is the Shennong of Ming Dynasty in the future.

If a country wants to prosper, it must first have enough food.

it is necessary.

People eat for food.

Therefore, Zhu Fang was afraid that Mr. Yuan would have any problems.

When he met Mr. Yuan, it was just as Zhu Ping expected...

Originally, he and Mr. Yuan had agreed to meet around Baisha Village, but Mr. Yuan came back first. Something must have happened, and there was a high probability that Mr. Yuan might have found the rice variety he needed.

As expected, Mr. Yuan told Zhu Ping the news after the meeting.

He found the rice variety he wanted in the Shajiao area of ​​the Pearl River Estuary, so he rushed back without stopping. After extraction, new rice varieties were already being cultivated.

The results will be visible in about half a month.

Zhu Feng was overjoyed and immediately expressed his expectation for the result.

Then Zhu Xi found Professor Xiang Hai and Luo and asked about the progress of the popularization of the law. The surrounding villages sent people there every day to promote the "Da Ming Law", but the effect was very little.

This is inevitable.

Because the villages here have been closed for a long time.

People just cling to the three feet of loess under their feet, and their minds are closed.

Now, it is not easy to open everyone's minds.

However, just because something is difficult doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it.

Zhu Ping called Dao Tong alone and said to him: "Now the king is in urgent need of manpower. Nothing can be established without destruction. The same is true for what we have to do now. We cannot be timid, let alone sacrifice and bloodshed. Without bloodshed, how will you impress the people? , and how to get them to open their minds? I will give you a handwriting. You go to the guard station and ask He Gui and others to cooperate with you. "

When Dao Tong heard this, his face looked a little unhappy.

However, Zhu Xi's words have already been spoken.

The order has also been given.

He is also helpless.

Although he knew that if he provoked a fight between villages and let all the villages in Panyu County, Dongguan County and Xin'an County fight, many people would die and a lot of blood would be shed...

But now, he can only do this.

Daotong was originally a descendant of the Yuan people. After becoming a Jinshi, he also served as the minister of Taichang Temple and stayed in the capital for a period of time. He originally came to Panyu and wanted to take over as the magistrate of Xianghai County. However, the appointment of officials in the Lingnan area was also relatively chaotic. , it almost took the Ministry of Personnel to think of it before appointing one. So far, there are no provincial officials such as the chief envoy, so after Daotong arrived in Panyu, he had not yet taken over as the county magistrate.

And now, Zhu Xi is here.

The appointment and removal of all officials are in Zhu Xi's hands.

Daotong also understood that Zhu Ping did this to change the current difficult situation.

The arrow is on the string.

Had to post.

During this period of time, he had learned about the conflicts, large and small, between the villages, and had even arranged a secret hand, because he and Zhu Ping had discussed this matter a long time ago.

Daotong is ready.

The guard station also distributed some food and salary, allowing He Gui to lead the soldiers and make preparations.

Originally, I was in agreement, but I wanted Quan Zhu Ping to be gentler in his methods.

However, he also saw that Zhu Xiang had made efforts.

Popularizing the law, teaching the law, and sending people to implement the "Da Ming Law" have had little effect.

Then this powerful medicine can only be used.

After leaving the government office, Daotong, who was accompanied by King Qin's personal guards, sighed: "I just hope it won't turn into a river of blood!"
