Chapter 145: The Big Bad Moon(1/2)
Liu Mingqi was not surprised by this.
This is a dredging ship and dredging ship that can be used in modern times. In ancient times, wasn’t it a tool like a god?
With the size of Dakang and the development of river transport in various places, these two types of ships have a lot to do.
Moreover, everything has a loss period. If you use it frequently, you may have to scrap it in two or three years and buy it again.
The canal transportation yamen itself consumes a lot. In addition, the river yamen, I dare not say that I have made a fortune, but the average production of hundreds of ships a year is like playing.
This business alone can maintain the entire canal shipyard.
Then when they are proficient in the craftsmanship, they can also take on some jobs to repair ships for civilians.
Most of the recruited shipyard masters have this kind of experience. It is of course very good to do some work and do subsidies on weekdays.
But the most important thing in a shipyard is of course to build five-masted sailboats.
This kind of five-masted sailboat that looks tall and powerful when you look at the drawings, the function of the five-masted sailboat is not known through experiments, and the price should be the price that affects the first step of sales.
Liu Mingqi asked casually: "Mr. Miao, I haven't asked how much money I will get when such a four-masted sailboat comes down?"
Miao Yan said: "It's hard to say that it hasn't been made yet. But the cost should be around 70,000 taels per ship. If it's a selling price, it will cost at least 150,000 yuan per ship... This is the normal price code for the shipbuilding industry."
Liu Mingqi's eyelids twitched and said dryly: "The price is really not cheap."
He thought to himself that this was a four-masted sailboat, which is actually a three-masted enhanced version to be precise.
If it were a real four-masted sailboat, the price would probably have to double.
For a five-masted sailboat, it is not a problem of doubled, at least five to ten times!
Miao Yan was quite surprised by Liu Mingqi's reaction. He originally thought that Liu Mingqi was going to bargain.
But I didn't expect Liu Mingqi to be so straightforward.
Could it be that he has too much money? Should I report more?
The selfless Governor Miao suddenly had such an idea in his mind.
Liu Mingqi didn't know that he thought so.
He just thought that when his uncle took the fleet to Japan, the maritime merchants would flock to order the ships.
As for the issue that Japan may invade Dakang, it does not exist.
I made all the money from Japan. After I became stronger, I used the money I earned from them as military expenses and directly destroyed Japan. Wouldn't it be even happier?
Miao Yan also mentioned this: "Your Highness, Jiangnan may be a little uneasy this year. You'd better not wander around the coastal areas, such as Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. Then hurry back! The safest place is the Gyeonggi area!"
"This is a bad statement!"
Liu Mingqi immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "How can there be a complete egg when the nest is destroyed? If a crisis occurs, which place is truly safe? The so-called 100,000 young men, one inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood. Which inch of land is not my hometown, and which fellow villagers are not my compatriots? Where can I have room for retreat? So I don't want to retreat at all, I also want to help fight the Japanese!"
Miao Yan was stunned when he heard this.
Immediately he bowed to Liu Mingqi and said solemnly: "Your Highness cares about the world and is compassionate to the world. It is my blessing for my great prosperity! Miao Yan worships Your Highness and his words, and he will definitely not retreat and will swear to defend his hometown to the death!"
But the next moment, he said: "But this time the situation is unusual. Your Highness, you must not take risks. Your Highness, don't know yet? Qiyan's Heldasu tribe has joined forces with the other five tribes to invade our Datong border. Our border army has killed and injured thousands of people!"
Liu Mingqi: "!?"
He said in a daze: "Is it Jin Chenbai's Helda Speed Division?"
"right!"
Miao Yan said: "It is the Heldar Suo tribe at the New Year banquet this year. Didn't you say that? Their six tribes are constantly secretly meeting and there will definitely be conspiracy. Now it seems that your highness is really beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
Is it egg?
Liu Mingqi wanted to slap herself.
What a good, bad spirit.
I wanted to marry my sister, but the sister died.
I guessed that these guys were going to make trouble, but they really did it!
When he thought that Jin Chenbai had already begun to attack the northern defense line, the remaining five forces were also very clear.
Recalling the ugly, greedy and cruel Japanese people in another world, Liu Mingqi really felt that they might really come this time.
Liu Mingqi knew the destruction of Jiangnan by the Japanese.
Not to mention that it was three to seven years later, and hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty, they committed countless killings. How many people in the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of Japanese pirates?
Moreover, among the real and fake Japanese slaves, the most fake ones are robbery, and they cannot reach the point of slaughtering the entire village and the entire town.
Real Japanese slaves are really cruel. Like beasts, they often kill everyone, regardless of gender, age or age.
Today, the Jiangnan of Dakang is much more prosperous than the Jiangnan of Daming, and the people have not seen any weapons for many years.
If you are not sure of the cruelty and cruelty of the Japanese, you will suffer a great loss.
Thinking of this, Liu Mingqi immediately said, "Mr. Miao, please send me a memorial to the emperor, to the prime ministers, and to Governor Liu Renhuai. Tell them that they must be wary of the Japanese. Once they go ashore, they will definitely kill people. Wherever they pass, there will be a disaster and the people will be sad!"
Miao Yan frowned slightly: "Are the Japanese people so cruel?"
"They came to burn, kill, loot, and were they still polite to us?" Liu Mingqi said: "All the island countries must be narrow-minded, vicious and extreme, without exception. If they do not prepare in advance, those women, children and elderly people who do not have any ability to prevent can escape, what should they do?"
"In fact, any foreign invaders who invaded are the same. Who is not burning, killing, looting, and suffering from thousands of miles?" Miao Yan said first, and then said: "But before, we, Dakang, had little contact with Japanese people, or we didn't know much about them!
Since your highness, you have considered this, the officials agree very much. It is better to prepare more than not! This time, let the officials and your nobles jointly write to the letter!"
Old Miao is really good at it!
Liu Mingqi smiled on her face.
Why didn’t he write a memorial to everyone himself, and wanted Miao Yan to send it on his behalf?
Can an 18-year-old prince, who has no power and no power, be more important than a legal official who is the governor of the grain transportation and the imperial envoy?
Stop kidding!
Only by relying on Miao Yan’s name can more people pay attention to it.
After all, many people would definitely say that Liu Mingqi was fussing, as if he was bullying the emperor. The ministers had never experienced it and had heard of the dangers of foreign invasions.
But no second person knows how much harm these Japanese people on the four islands will cause to the land of China!
Even in this world, it seems that these wolves and people are almost the same.
Liu Mingqi was worried that Miao Yan said that she was too sensitive, but she didn't expect that after hearing what she said, Miao Yan was a little respectful to him. She let him go and said that he also wanted to sign his name.
The meaning of the two is completely different.
If the effect of the former is 20%, then the effect of the latter is 60% or even more.
Thinking of this, Liu Mingqi suddenly felt that Miao Heizi was not that hateful.
Little did they know that at this moment, Miao Yan also had a different understanding of Liu Mingqi.
He knew that Liu Mingqi was very smart and could propose many exquisite and practical methods, and had a set of moral articles.
He did not agree with the theory of "sacrificing one's life for righteousness", but he liked the two articles "Pusing Learning" and "Teacher's Talk".
Miao Yan copied it many times in private.
But that's all. Miao Yan never thought that a young man like Liu Mingqi, who was destined to become a royal family, would have any blood.
Playboys are the most useless, especially when they are in danger.
Liu Mingqi may be better, but when encountering life and death-related situations, can he still maintain "the collapse of Mount Tai before his face and his face remains unchanged"?
In fact, Miao Yan persuaded Liu Mingqi and the others to visit the hinterland of Jiangnan and then go home early. Most of the reason was to drive them away and not cause trouble here.
If they encounter danger when the military situation is critical, do you think they should save it or not?
If the people they protected encounter a disaster because they go to save them, who will be?
Who is it that they are ambushed by the enemy and are seriously injured?
So it's better to go far.
But Liu Mingqi's words just now really shocked Miao Yan.
"One hundred thousand young men and one hundred thousand soldiers, every inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of blood."
"Which inch of land is not my hometown, and which fellow villagers are not my compatriots? Where can I have room for retreat?"
In this case, only those who are truly wise and brave, and those who are in love with the people can say it.
A Confucian or Legal master can have such an understanding, but he did not expect that the eighteen-year-old Liu Mingqi could have such a determination.
Miao Yan has been an official for twenty years and has seen thousands of people. You can tell at a glance whether what Liu Mingqi said is true.
In fact, it is!
Miao Yan believes that if Liu Mingqi is given a chance, he will really dare to bring people to kill him.
Good thing!
This is what a true saint should do when facing danger.
Such words as "those who sacrifice themselves and seek justice" are definitely not empty talk!
