Chapter 496 Battleship

It was carried out until evening, when all the talents ended, and Zhu Youxiao also came to the arranged resting place.

This night, Zhu Youxiao rarely relaxed.

After seeing these warships, he saw the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty warships will sail out from here and become an invincible fleet that throngs all over the world.

I have been busy for so many years and worked diligently for so many years, just for the obsession in my heart.

Now that I finally saw hope, how could Zhu Youxiao feel bad?

At the same time, it is full of hope and the heart is full of passion for struggle. You must do things well.

The next morning, Zhu Youxiao got up early one morning.

Although he has not done anything in the past two years, he has never dared to slack off when exercising.

To live longer, Zhu Youxiao kept reminding himself.

Under the influence of the biological clock, he woke up very early this morning. After a round of activities, he was doing boxing and running in the yard.

Qi Yuangong led his men to guard the side, and did not dare to slack off at all.

The same goes for the guards around, everyone was watching carefully.

Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything.

You cannot slack off no matter where you are.

Zhu Youxiao took the towel handed over by Wei Chao and wiped his face.

This towel has just been developed in the past two years. It is made of wool, soft and absorbent, and it is best to use it to wipe your face.

Towels have become popular after they were launched. They can be said to be a must-have item in noble families. The prices are now high.

Just a towel is enough to sell for a set of silk clothes. At this time, things are rare and expensive.

The Office of the Internal Affairs Office is very smart in doing business, and Zhu Youxiao did not interfere in such matters.

After wiping his face, Zhu Youxiao threw the towel in his hand to Wei Chao and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Go back to the emperor," Wei Chao said quickly: "The two Lords Song are already waiting outside."

"What are they doing?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Go back to the emperor, they are here to pay tribute to the emperor." Wei Chao said again.

There is nothing wrong with the Song brothers doing this. After all, when the emperor comes to your territory, he always comes to see him when he wakes up in the morning.

Just like a child is at home, there is a saying that goes, "Calm Wake Up in the Morning and Downs". To put it bluntly, you have to go to see your parents in the morning and evening, greet your parents in the morning, and greet them before going to bed at night.

When facing the emperor, you naturally have to have this attitude.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said, "Then prepare breakfast. Call them in and let them eat with me."

"Yes, the emperor." Wei Chao agreed obediently.

Wei Chao couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart that the emperor really valued the Song brothers.

You know, usually in this situation, the emperor sent his ministers away. Summoned in to meet them, which was already a favor for them.

But now the emperor wants to summon the two brothers of the Song family and have to have dinner together. This is no longer as simple as favor. How much do you have to be favored by the ministers to receive such treatment?

However, Wei Chao didn't dare to say anything, so he turned around and walked out. He wanted to bring the two brothers of the Song family in as soon as possible, so that they could not waste time, otherwise it would cause the emperor's displeasure.

After a simple tidying up and changing out a set of clothes, Zhu Youxiao saw the Song brothers walking in from outside.

Seeing that the two were about to salute, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and interrupted them.

He said, "It's not in the capital or in the main hall, so I'll give it up in private. It just so happens that I want breakfast, so you can follow me."

The Song brothers looked at each other for a while, and they were both a little embarrassed.

You know, they came to pay homage to the emperor, and it is normal for the emperor to reward them. This is considered a win-win situation.

But why did His Majesty say this? It was like the two of them came here for free, and they came at the meal time.

However, the two of the Song family thoughts just flashed by, and they bowed together and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the Song brothers sat down, Wei Chao ordered someone to bring the food.

Zhu Youxiao’s breakfast has always been very simple. This morning it was rice porridge and buns, two eggs, and several kinds of mixed vegetables.

Because someone wanted to try the poison, the porridge was already half warm when served.

This is what Zhu Youxiao thought of himself. After the drug tester tastes it, he will put all the meals in an insulated box.

The heat is hot water underneath to ensure that the food is not cold. Although the taste is not as good as it is just out of the pot, at least it is hot.

There are many things that are just right at this time, such as the bowl of rice porridge that Zhu Youxiao was handed by. It is warm and delicious and tastes very good. Zhu Youxiao ate it very fragrant.

Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing also ate very deliciously. After all, eating with His Majesty, it was no longer a taste.

After the three of them finished their meals, the remaining soup was removed and the warm tea was brought up.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Youxiao looked at the Song brothers and said, "This time I came over and took a look. I am very satisfied. You two have done a good job."

"After the matter here comes to an end, the reward will come down. In addition, the official positions of you two may not be adjusted for the time being. But I believe it will not be too far away."

The two Song brothers were ministers that Zhu Youxiao valued very much, so it was naturally impossible to put them here to see the shipyard.

Using them like this is actually a bit of a waste. But now Zhu Youxiao is really worried about changing people.

After a while, the shipyard was completely on track. The first batch of warships were launched, and he just transferred the Song brothers and the others away.

"I am really worried about leaving this place to others, so I can only apologize to you brothers first." Zhu Youxiao said again, his tone was very gentle and a hint of guilt.

The Song brothers hurriedly said, "It is our brother who is determined to do what he wants to do for His Majesty and to contribute to the Ming Dynasty. No matter what he does, we brothers will not complain."

Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "If all the officials in the world are like your brothers, why worry about the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty?"

The conversation between the three king and the minister has been recorded by the people next to him. In the future, they will be written into Zhu Youxiao's actual records.

The emperor's words and deeds, and this scene of harmony between the king and the minister, naturally, should focus on the description of the pen and ink.

Of course, the ministers are loyal and the emperor has a broad mind. These things should be more focused on writing ink.

After talking, Zhu Youxiao changed the topic directly and said, "This time, when I really came here, in addition to looking at the warships you built, I brought the people from the Baigong Academy to you."

"This matter is now confidential, and you don't reveal it if you know it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two of the Song family agreed with serious faces.

In fact, there were many secrets in the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the Baigong Academy or other places, or even the shipyards.

No one cared about these things before, but now the court has a special law to prevent leakage.

If anyone leaks the secret, he will be severely punished. If he deliberately takes out the secret for money, it is a serious crime of raiding the family and extermination of the clan.

Everyone who enters the Baigong Academy or the shipyard will receive such education. It can be said that the management is very strict, with people everywhere and people guarding every link.

Under such circumstances, the Song brothers naturally understood what the emperor was saying, so they respectfully made a promise, waiting for Zhu Youxiao to tell them the secret.

"You don't know here that the Baigong Academy has actually developed new gunpowder." Zhu Youxiao looked at the Song brothers and said, "These gunpowder is much more powerful than the gunpowder we use now. This leads to the gun being fired a longer range and greater power."

"In addition, the Baigong Academy used this gunpowder to forge a new type of cannon, which is the rear-mounted cannon of metal fixed-mounted shells. I think you two should be familiar with this thing."

"It's just that the difficulties that have not been overcome have finally been overcome. I want to equip this kind of artillery on warships, as well as new guns and new rockets."

"You can also discuss other weapons you want on your warships with the people of the Baigong Academy. This time, among the entourage, I have brought you craftsmen from the Baigong Academy. You can discuss this with them."

"These people will not be taken away when I leave, and will stay with you. In short, ask for people to give them money, and you can make the things for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Song brothers agreed quickly.

No one expected that His Majesty would bring such news.

This is good news for the two people in the Song family. As long as the warship is replaced with a new cannon, the power will naturally be different. It just needs to be tried continuously and run-in continuously, so it will take some time.

However, for the Song brothers, time is not a problem. Although it will make them leave for a while, it doesn't matter. As long as you can do things well, it's enough.

The Song brothers don’t believe that if you work hard in the shipyard, your Majesty will not promote them.

Nowadays, Your Majesty has always been unconventional in employing people, and he has always been a talent-oriented approach. If your Majesty values ​​things so much, he will definitely be reused if he gets things done by himself.

After the matter was almost done, Zhu Youxiao brought the people over. This matter has been done for Zhu Youxiao, and the rest depends on the Song brothers and the others.

As for Qingdao, it's time to leave.

I didn’t do anything big when I came to Qingdao, but I just came over and took a look. Now that I have seen it, I am very satisfied, and I have arranged the things I should arrange, so I will naturally leave.

This is not Zhu Youxiao’s destination, it’s time to leave.
