My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 295: Artillery Sail Warship Birth!

On the outskirts of Chang'an City, beside the Guangtong Canal, countless people were whispering and talking about a giant figure on the water, their eyes full of horror.

It was a very mighty and domineering ship, with dozens of sails of various sizes densely packed on it, and the mast was extremely tall, almost reaching into the clouds.

From a distance, it looks like a series of mountains.

And at the top, there are two flags waving in the wind.

One side says "far away" and the other side says "protect the country"!
It symbolizes its ownership - Datang Huguogong!
Although it is impossible to dock due to the deep draft, it does not affect the terrifying visual impact it brings!
After all, this is a super warship with a displacement of [-] tons!
It almost represents the highest level of shipbuilding attainments in the world before the first industrial revolution.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a moving water town!
"Really amazing!"

"No matter how many times I watch it, it's always the same shock!"

"Mmmmm~"

Like the people on the shore, on a small boat, two men and a girl in a white skirt are paddling towards the shore.

As the boat began to move away from the warship, the whole picture of the warship began to appear. Even though they had seen it many times, they still couldn't help the shock in their hearts.

This is really, really scary!

Three people, one is Wang Yuan's servant, Lao Huang who once broke a finger in Yuhang.

The other is Zhou He, the middle-aged man who helped Wang Yuan hunt and kill giant fish back then.

The girl is Li Qi, the daughter of Li Zihe, the governor of Yangzhou.

"How did Mr. Wang design the blueprint of this ship?"

Old Huang was startled.

"Besides, if there is no material provided by the prince, let alone two months, I am afraid that it will take ten years, and we will not be able to build this kind of warship!"

So did Zhou He, his eyes were full of shock and admiration!
The reason why he is here is that when Uncle Ming came to Jiangdu to find him, he said that he wanted to build such a huge ship, and asked himself if there was a way.

But at the beginning, Zhou He glanced at the design drawings and thought that Uncle Ming was here to amuse himself.

Although he doesn't know much about the details of shipbuilding, he also knows a few words because of the popularity of books.

Displacement five thousand tons?

Mom!
What a monster! ?

How could it be possible to create it?

The largest merchant ship in Jiangdu had a displacement of only [-] tons.

Although I heard that there are larger ships in the counties along the coast, they are only a thousand tons.

And now, Uncle Ming wants him to find a relationship to build a five thousand ton warship! ?

This can't even be said to be whimsical, it can only be said that Lian Tian is not that crazy.

The prince's brain circuit is really as elusive as ever.

But even though he was reluctant, but with Uncle Ming's money offensive and his promise to provide all the accessories in advance, he had no choice but to do his best, and took Uncle Ming to search all the shipyards in Jiangdu.

Originally, he himself didn't give any hope. After all, unless he had cerebral palsy, how could anyone take over this kind of work?
The result was unexpected, and a shipyard really took over the job.

It was a shipyard that was about to close down, and I didn't know what kind of mentality I had. After reading the design drawings and hearing that it was the request of Duke Huguo of the Tang Dynasty, I actually agreed.

Then, is the beginning of a series of magic.

The prince came to Jiangdu six days after he learned the news that he had found the shipyard.

Then I just stayed for a long time before going back, saying that I wanted to continue fishing.

But the magical thing is that although he only stayed for a long time, he has already prepared [-]% of the shipbuilding materials!
As for what price Wang Gongzi paid for this, and how he obtained these materials, none of them knew.

Only when he was leaving, Prince Wang yelled:

"This time I really spent a lot of money, and it cost me a full [-] destiny points!"

"If Datang hadn't attacked the Western Turks, I'm afraid I would have gone bankrupt on the spot!"

Zhou He, Lao Huang and Uncle Ming didn't know what these two sentences meant.

All they knew was that from that day on, their awe of Wang Yuan became more profound.

This current god-man really cannot be guessed by common sense!
Then there is the day-to-day life of shipbuilding, or splicing.

Yes!

It took them two full months to assemble this [-]-ton behemoth even if it was just assembled!
Only by experiencing it personally can one understand how terrifying the shock this process brings to their hearts.

Looking at the masts made of hundreds of years of trees, erected one after another, it seems to be building the residence of the gods.

In fact, even if it was just assembling, they almost failed because there were not enough places on the field.

The ship was simply too big for the original shipyard to accommodate.

It can only be put into the water when one-third of the assembly is completed.

Huge ships drift in the water, causing a great impact on surrounding ships.

At the beginning, the people complained all over the place, but after they learned that this was the ship that the Lord Protector wanted to build, they began to take the initiative to avoid it.

Even Li Zihe, the governor of Yangzhou, brought his daughter, Li Qi, who had just Jiangji, and his staff to help build it overnight.

In this way, with countless help and the full cooperation of the governor of Yangzhou.

This unprecedented sea giant is finally completed!

And also along the waterway, all the way to Guangtong Canal, to the vicinity of Chang'an City!

The only request Li Zihe, the governor of Yangzhou, was for them to bring Li Qi over so that she could meet Wang Yuan.

"I wonder if Prince Wang will be satisfied after seeing this ship?"

When Lao Huang, Zhou He and Li Qi went ashore, they looked away and began to feel a little worried.

In fact, such a terrifying Big Mac can logically be used for business.

But after all, it was Wang Yuan's request to make it, and no one knew whether the ship was in line with his wishes before he got his nod of approval.

"Do not worry!"

Lao Huang forced a smile, and continued:
"Old Ming has gone ashore before us, and went to Lantian County to inform Mr. Wang."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before Prince Wang will come over to check."

"Forehead!"

Zhou He nodded and continued to look forward to it.

Originally, he just regarded Wang Yuan as a wealthy young man.

But now, after knowing that the latter is the Duke Protector of the Tang Dynasty, which has never been seen before in the Tang Dynasty, his heart began to become more active.

If this time, he can hug Lord Protector's thigh.

I am afraid that he will really be able to fly to the top.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at the very gentle and polite girl who was following behind the two of him, and asked in a low voice.

"Miss Li Qi, wait a moment for the Lord Protector to come, you have to behave well!"

"Miss Li Qi should understand why Master Li Zihe asked you to come here."

Zhou He only spoke half of what he said, but he knew that Zhou Xi could definitely understand it.

Although he is a rough man, he also has an exquisite heart and a lot of knowledge.

He can guarantee that even if you look at Jiangdu County, no one can surpass Li Qi in appearance.

Even if they are standing shoulder to shoulder, it is difficult to have the gentleness like water that permeates from the bones like Li Qi.

If I could contribute to this matter, I would definitely be able to leave a good impression on Li Zihe and even Wang Yuan.

"Hmm~"

Li Qi nodded obediently, and there was a trace of anticipation in his eyes.

She is now 14 years old, which is the age when the girl Huaichun admires heroes the most.

And the Duke Huguo of the Tang Dynasty, the god-man who caused countless people in Yuhang to erect the Chang'an Monument for him, is naturally the most perfect hero in the girl's heart.

It is precisely because of this that Li Qi, who has always been shy, has never even been out of Yangzhou.

After hearing his father Li Zihe's order, he didn't object, but came to Chang'an obediently.

I don't know what kind of person Wang Gongzi is like?
The more Li Qi thought about it, the more shy he became, his face was flushed red, Zhou He and Lao Huang couldn't stop laughing lightly.

In fact, it's not just Zhou He, even Lao Huang is very happy to see this matter, hoping it can succeed.

Men in Datang, usually at the age of 14, will have a matchmaker come to talk about marriage.

It's just that Wang Yuan's status is too special, so no one dares to come to talk about marriage.

And as servants, it is not good for them to say more about it.

Now it is rare that Li Zihe, the governor of Yangzhou, has such a meaning, and even sent his little daughter here, so Lao Huang naturally welcomed it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Li Qi's appearance.

Now let's see if Prince Wang has such a meaning.

Just like that, amid the eager anticipation of the three, it was noon before long, and Wang Yuan finally arrived in a carriage.

Is this the Duke Protector of the Tang Dynasty?
When Wang Yuan got off the carriage, Li Qi's heart was slightly touched by Wang Yuan's dusty temperament.

She didn't believe in love at first sight before, but now, she believed it a little bit.

"oops!"

Wang Yuan had just stepped out of the carriage, and before he had time to speak, he was taken aback by the artillery sailing warship docked not far away.

"Fuck!"

"Is this broken ship this big?"

Hearing these words, Zhou He, Lao Huang, and Li Qi, who originally wanted to go forward to greet him, were all taken aback.

Even the prince himself, don't you know how big this ship is?

Or, did the prince deliberately act for them?
In fact, Wang Yuan really didn't intend to perform. After all, although he got the design drawing, he only had a big idea about the specific size of the artillery sail warship.

As for how big it is, Wang Yuan himself doesn't know.

It's like asking a person to imagine the difference between a length of 100 meters and a length of 200 meters. You may know that the latter is twice as large as the former, but in fact the volume shown is more than ten times larger.

If he had known that it would be so big, Wang Yuan would definitely give it a few more months, instead of being so anxious for two months.

"awesome!"

"You guys are really amazing!"

After being shocked, Wang Yuan became so happy that he didn't even see Li Qi, the girl next to him.

With this ship, those Japanese people living a good life will definitely be very excited!

Ah!
Physical excitement!
"Meet the prince!"

Seeing that Wang Yuan didn't notice her, Li Qiqiao blushed, but she mustered up her courage and stepped forward to salute:

"My daughter's name is Li Qi, and my father is Li Zihe, governor of Yangzhou."

"I came here this time to say hello to Prince Wang on behalf of my father."

"Li Zihe?"

Hearing the girl's gentle voice, Wang Yuan came back to his senses, only then did he discover the exquisite and handsome Li Qi.

"It's the guy who will cry for no reason. Bah! Governor of Yangzhou?"

Li Qi: "."

"If he didn't have the same name, he would already be my father."

"I see."

Wang Yuan nodded, showing an awkward yet polite smile:

"Then Miss Li Qi, say hello to your father for me, and thank him for his help!"

Just now, Lao Huang had secretly told Wang Yuan about Li Zihe's help.

So he also knew that Lizihe had the most credit for the completion of this large ship in more than two months.

Naturally, he also knew exactly what Li Qi was thinking.

"Since there's nothing else to do, I'll take you back."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yuan's attention was once again attracted by the artillery, sail and warship in front of him.

The intention of seeing off guests is already obvious.

Although Li Qi is indeed beautiful, she is Li Zihe's daughter after all.

Marrying her means that he will have a relationship with the court of the Tang Dynasty and stand on the sidelines, but Wang Yuan has no such idea yet.

Maybe Li Qi really admired him, and even exaggerated it from surprise to love, but some things were already doomed.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are enough girls in his family!
Even if the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is like this, Wang Yuan really can't stand it anymore!

He is not a pervert!
Li Qi, who was still waiting for Wang Yuan's invitation, was stunned when he heard this.

So you sent yourself back?

Why is Prince Wang's performance so different from other men?

Although he is a lady of everyone, Li Qi is still very confident in his appearance, and this is the first time he has seen Wang Yuan be so indifferent.

It may be because the person in front of him is the Lord Protector of the Tang Dynasty, or it may be out of unwillingness.

Li Qi squeezed his fist, took the initiative to take a step forward, mustered up his courage, and wanted to say something else.

But before he could speak, there was a pleasant voice from the carriage: "This sister."

"Let us send you off."

As soon as the words fell, the curtain of the carriage was opened.

Inside are Li Lizhi and Wu Mei.

Li Lizhi showed a sweet smile towards Li Qi.

"This!"

Li Qi looked at this girl whose appearance was no worse than her own, and even more perfect, her tone froze slightly.

After being speechless for a long time, he smiled wryly and said:
"it is good"

Having already learned something from her father, she immediately understood that this was the famous Princess Changle.

Sure enough, some things cannot be forced.

Compared with Princess Changle, I am still too "depressed", not even the maids around her.

Li Qi smiled bitterly, got into Li Lizhi's carriage, first returned to Lantian County to rest, and returned to Yuhang tomorrow.

"My lord, you are too..." Seeing this, Zhou He and Lao Huang were both extremely embarrassed.

After all, Li Zihe personally asked the two of them to help and say good things.

In the end, he didn't think about it, and he had no room to speak at all, so the prince directly refused.

"Don't say anything!"

Wang Yuan smiled lightly: "Take me on board to have a look, we're leaving tomorrow!"

　I have a test tomorrow, I may ask for leave
