I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Chang’an City, southeast.

On the dock water village.

A small boat lays across the water. These small boats are used to travel, can carry people, and can be used to move on the surface of the river. In addition, there is a warship lying on the water. The whole body of this warship is pitch black, the keel presents an icy black, and the mast on it stands tall, like a supporting heaven giant pillar rushing straight into the sky.

The battleship incomparable gigantic, like a giant beast, is entrenched on the water.

This warship was built by artisans led by Tang Zhongsheng working overtime. It was the first warship in Cháng’ān. It was large enough to hold more than two thousand soldiers, and it was extremely capable of weighing.

This warship has already undergone an impact test, and it is also sailing on the river and can be delivered for use. But now on the warship, Tang Zhongsheng and the others are checking for missing vacancies and supplementing some of the last small details, such as some layouts in the cabin, or some layouts on the deck, or even some layouts on the side of the ship.

The most critical part of this warship is that the fort is arranged on the deck. The mortars stand on it, even if they are separated from each other, they can carry out long-range bombing. The appearance of the telescope and the aiming of the front sight of Fortress Hill enabled the cannon to aim and shoot more accurately, enough for long-range strikes.

Today’s warships are extremely well equipped, that is, a giant beast on the water, enough to run wild on the river.

When Tang Zhongsheng and the crowd were busy against the sun, suddenly, a craftsman rushed to the bottom of the battleship and shouted: “Master Tang, the Imperial Edict is here, hurry up and take the order.”

Tang Zhongsheng is called Master Tang among artisans.

Especially Tang Zhongsheng is extremely careful, never lazy, and diligent. He has the ability, strength and identity, yet he is so diligent in research and practical work. Therefore, among all the craftsmen, Tang Zhongsheng is extremely prestigious. Upon hearing someone shouting, Tang Zhongsheng hurriedly walked out. Without thinking about it, he got off the boat and saw the soldiers who came to deliver the decree arrived.

The soldiers didn’t speak much, and directly said that they had done a good job in developing the battleship. Du Qi awarded a hundred jars of drinks.

Xia Country’s wine, it is a well-known wine in the world.

Countless people know it.

The craftsmen on the ship are also aware, because many of them are from Xia Country and have heard of them in Xia Country. It’s just that this kind of drink is extremely precious, so many people have only heard of it and never drank it.

Nowadays, when I hear Du Qi’s award, many craftsmen are excited.

After Tang Zhongsheng thanked him, he saw soldiers carrying drinks. One hundred jars of drinks were neatly placed in front of all the craftsmen. Although all the jars were sealed, they For a moment, everyone seemed to smell the aroma of wine.

Tang Zhongsheng sent away the soldiers who passed the decree, and summoned all the craftsmen. He looked around everyone and said: “His Majesty rewarded a hundred jars of wine, as everyone knows, this wine is extremely expensive, and it is a real jade liquid.”

“When we came to Cháng’ān There are not many people, but when we got here, we recruited some people, and all of them add up to more than a hundred people. It is really easy to say that drinking this hundred jars of wine is really easy. Based on our drinking capacity, it is estimated that two or three days I can drink cleanly.”

“It is definitely not appropriate to drink like this.”

“I will arrange this hundred jars of drinks. Today at noon, we will open ten Altar of wine, everyone has to drink a little, and just taste it. After all, you have to continue to work in the afternoon. It is not appropriate to delay the work if you drink alcohol.”

Tang Zhongsheng continued: “The remaining ninety Altar of wine, let’s drink it every other day, with ten altars of wine at a time. In this way, everyone can drink the wine. What do you think?”

Thumbs up and praised, saying: “Master Tang is fair.”

It stands to reason that Tang Zhongsheng is the first craftsman and is a reward from Du Qi. Even if Tang Zhongsheng left a batch of drinks to drink by himself, no one would dare What to say, because Tang Zhongsheng is the leader. However, Tang Zhongsheng was willing to distribute all the drinks to the people below and let everyone drink together, so they were very excited and admired Tang Zhongsheng’s fairness.

Tang Zhongsheng waved his hand and continued: “It doesn’t have to be this way, it should be. This warship was not built by me alone, but by you and me. It should be drinking together. “

Everyone was excited and all praised Tang Zhongsheng.

At this moment, someone said: “Master Tang, although our warship has been reported to it. But this warship has no name yet. Look, what’s the one? What about the name?”

Tang Zhongsheng pondered and said, “I’m not very good at naming names. What kind of name do you think is the most suitable.”

Someone said: “Tang, in my opinion, I still ask His Majesty to give the name. Our warship, no stronghold one cannot overcome, is invincible. For this kind of warship, His Majesty bestows its name. But I heard that many of the industries in Xia Country are personally named by His Majesty. Our warship can be named by His Majesty, that’s the best. You can go there in person and ask His Majesty to give the name. “

Everyone agreed again.

They all agree with the suggestion that Tang Zhongsheng ask Du Qi for his name.

Tang Zhongsheng thought for a while, nodded and said: “This is also feasible. I will go to the city immediately and meet His Majesty personally, and ask His Majesty to give our warship a name. After all, this is The first warship that Cháng’ān built, and the battle with Great Tang, is of extraordinary significance. Your suggestion is the best arrangement.”

Speaking, he went immediately Changing his clothes, he rode into the city. The horse galloped, and Tang Zhongsheng had already entered the city before long, and went straight to the barracks to beg to see him.

Tang Zhongsheng is responsible for shipbuilding.

Moreover, he comes from the University of Science and Technology, and his identity is unusual. After making a report, the soldier took Tang Zhongsheng to the Chinese army’s large account. When Tang Zhongsheng saw Du Qi, he bowed and saluted: “Chen Tang Zhongsheng, See your Majesty!”

Du Qi nodded: “What’s the matter?”

Tang Zhongsheng I first talked about some of the next shipbuilding matters, and reported it in general, and then Tang Zhongsheng said: “His Majesty, the minister is here this time, it is about the warship. The first warship was built and all of them have been checked. The vacancy is filled. But this warship has no name yet, so I beg His Majesty to give it a name.”

Du Qi thought about it after hearing it, spread out a piece of paper, pressed it on top with a paperweight, and picked up a pen. Dip the ink, and even write the two characters’Flood Dragon’. When the ink dries up, Du Qi handed the paper to Tang Zhongsheng and said: “The first warship is of great significance, so it is named Flood Dragon. I hope this battleship can be like a flood dragon-like, and it can be as flat on the water and invincible.”

Tang Zhongsheng was very excited, and he tremblingly took this piece of paper and watched it. The two big characters on this paper did not appreciate the iron and silver hook of the font at all, just happy that the warship had this name.

Tang Zhongsheng said: “Thank His Majesty Long En.”

Du Qi said: “Tang Zhongsheng, the building of the warship must be accelerated. It is now August, the autumn harvest Soon. Once the autumn harvest is started, when the harvest is over, the warship is not built, which will have a great impact on my plan.”

Tang Zhongsheng said: “Please rest assured, His Majesty. The task will be completed.”

After speaking, Tang Zhongsheng got up and left.

He has now got the inscription of Du Qi. He has already completed the task. When he goes back, he can carve the inscription of Du Qi and print the word Flood Dragon on the warship. As for building warships, because of the experience of the first warship, subsequent operations can be streamlined, which can increase speed.

After Tang Zhongsheng retired, Shangguan Yi entered again and said: “His Majesty, Lan Changhe, please see you.”

Du Qi instructed: “Let him in.”

“Yes!”

Shangguan Yi immediately arranged for him to let Lan Changhe come to visit him.
