Sheng Chong and Abandoned Concubine: The Sixth Miss Doctor

Chapter 1336 Powerful
With the combination of kindness and power, painting big cakes, and letting them have enough to eat and work, the bandit soldiers immediately showed high enthusiasm.

The most important thing is that they were ordinary people, but for various reasons they took the road of bandits.

Xu Lingyue felt that they did not become fake Japanese pirates. Since they could abide by her discipline and train according to her requirements, she was willing to give them a chance.

She sent a letter to the capital through Haidongqing and carrier pigeons, asking Xue Er to transport a batch of shipbuilding parts that had been produced earlier to Zhoushan.

Xue Er bought a lot of high-quality iron ore, and also directly applied for some semi-finished pig iron wrought iron and steel ingots from the smelter in Waitoushan, and then carried out secondary processing by himself to produce some things according to Xu Lingyue's requirements.

Now they have rushed to make a lot of shipbuilding parts.

Pierce nails, iron sheets, winches, chains, and more.

Although there is no ship yet, Xu Lingyue has accurate design drawings and the dimensions of each component. When the time comes, the hull will be manufactured directly in the dock, and then these steel parts will be assembled.

It's time to get twice the result with half the effort!
In addition, Xu Lingyue also asked people to pay attention to buying various high-quality iron ores in the west on the commercial road in the desert, smelting them locally, and then transporting the semi-finished steel ingots back.

She is willing to buy all such consumables from outside, or exchange them with tea, silk, porcelain, glass, etc.

For her, building high-quality ships also needs to be put on the agenda now!
There are only two large official docks in Dazhou, one in the west of Jinling and the other in Qingjiangpu, where all the official ships on the canal are produced.

However, neither the quality nor the function met Xu Lingyue's requirements.

Thinking that Wei Xuan might have a gunboat, she felt a little chilled, and felt that she needed to do something.

It is also a good opportunity to come to the southeast this time. Zhoushan can be used not only for military training, but also for building docks and shipbuilding. It can also monitor the movements of Japanese pirates. It is an important maritime military base.

It was originally occupied by Japanese pirates, but Xu Yaoqing took it back and stationed troops there.

However, over the past twenty years, as the power of the imperial court ebbs and flows, this place is also constantly changing.

For example, for a while it was controlled by the Huo family, then it was taken over by the Jiang family, and then later by the Gao family.

Now it is Dinghai Zhongzuo, a thousand households, Zhao Jiangshu of a thousand households.

Regarding this Zhao Jiangshu, Xu Lingyue also investigated before coming here. He is from Ningbo, hereditary from the Thousand Households, and has some influence in the local area, but he does not seem to have close contacts with the imperial court.

As for whether he has a private relationship with the eight major merchants in Zhejiang, it has not been confirmed yet.

However, she knew that Zhao Jiangshu had been standing still this time. According to him, Dinghai Institute actually only had about [-] people. The force was too weak, and it was still difficult to protect itself. Naturally, it was impossible to send troops to rescue others, lest the emptiness on the island be taken by the enemy. .

She directly used Ming Yi, an imperial envoy, to send people to Dinghai Office to deliver letters, and then sent people to recruit shipbuilders. At the same time, she asked the nearby state capitals to send all the wood stored in Dinghai Office. In addition, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang are suitable for shipbuilding. They must also be sent to Zhoushan.

Regarding the matter of expanding the dock to train sailors, Wei Xuan had proposed to the emperor before, the prince and King An all thought the proposal was very good, they unanimously approved it, and unanimously made suggestions to the emperor.

Although the emperor still said that he would consider it, Pei Ruogu said that this matter is basically right.

So now she has to go ahead and give Ming Yi this errand.
