Chapter 58 The Worst Generation
Wuhan Second Shipyard has finally launched the latest three-masted sailboat, with a standard load-load design of 2,500 stones, and has made certain modifications to the stern. The entire ship is different from the "Eight Years Built" and looks like a crescent moon. It is more like a bone-cutting knife placed upside down.
"Winter is coming soon, and the test of the Yangtze River must be completed early."
"Don't worry, sir, you won't miss the construction period."
At the home port, the counterweight crane next to it is still lifting cargo. The cargo in the cabin of the sand ship has long been loaded with standard cages or wooden boxes, which not only increases the cargo volume, but also improves the efficiency of transportation and transfer.
Half of the supervisors in the second shipyard were Zhang De's students. Some major projects came to Chang'an, but because they did not have the experience of supervising the construction of giant ships, they were also half-exploring and half-studying.
"Last year you went to Fusang to test in Suzhou, how did you do the best?"
"The boat bell ran for fifty hours and arrived at Yiyu Tongshan Port."
"More than two thousand miles, even if there are currents, the results are quite good."
Zhang De was a little surprised. The current performance is quite high for crew members, weather, and ocean currents. Without any luck, it is basically unlikely to achieve it.
"When I arrived at Tongshan Port of Yiyu, the ship was overhauled." The student was very excited again by rolling up the drawings in his hand, stuffing them into a bamboo tube, and carrying them casually. "However, it was only with that test that the improvement of "twelve years of construction" was achieved."
"Very good, very good." Zhang De patted his shoulder, "I remember to ask for anything."
"It's still a shortage of people, not enough."
"The teacher will find a way to do this, so there is no need to hurry."
"Yes, sir."
Although according to the actual population size, the population in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Wuhan Registration Department should have ranked among the top ten in the entire Tang Dynasty. However, the concentrated labor in the short term cannot be fully invested in production activities. What's more, humans are social animals and have their own complexities.
The conflict in life habits requires production labor to slowly calm down and get in. It has only been a few years since the end of the Han Liao revenge, so those black households in the Jianghuai River must be obediently and become "second-class citizens". They have no brains and no Kaiyuan Tongbao, so they can't even think about it.
What's more, the black households and the Yao people are different. They have their own inheritance and are Han people. Naturally, they have their own family and their own family heirloom concepts. This is a regional ethnic group. Just a matter of belonging is enough to keep Zhang De and his staff busy for a few years.
The production task of the shipyard is quite urgent, not just Zhang De is urging Chang'an, Luoyang, Bashu, Xiangfan... The powerful and noble families have long put aside their faces and are impatient to make a fuss. The "Mihe silver" that the emperor secretly got from the Heishuihe has caused quite a stir after being exposed this year.
Even the incident of Luoyang's "being guilty for words" has something to do with this.
Because strictly speaking, even the leaders of Liaodong's military leaders did not taste the soup. The whole thing was that the Denglai Navy lent the vests to the three major fleets of China Resources, and then these vests transported silver from the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea to the shore in the name of "anti-smuggling".
After these silvers that have been landed are sealed, they will be directly sent to Beijing.
There is a reason why Du Gou was able to be commended all the time, and Du Ruhui was able to leave Beijing safely and obtain a large amount of resources brought by the central government.
Just relying on reputation and empathy for the emperor is not a favor closed door, so the monarch and ministers have no eternal friendship.
After Du Gou transferred him, the clues of this matter were gradually discovered. It was not until the incident in Juye County became a big deal, Hou Junji was scammering and slutty again, stirring up rebellion everywhere, advocating fallacies and criticizing the emperor, which opened up the ice that had been hidden for several years.
Under the frozen crucifixion, he was actually the richest emperor in history...
"Mihe Silver" is a huge monster compared to the Fengzhou Silver Mine given to Li Shimin and Li Simo transferred it to Li Lizhi.
After the rebellion of Juye County, it was revealed that in the list of "contributions" that Du Gou began to give to the emperor in the third year of Denglai, there were a total of up to 400,000 taels of silver.
This item alone is close to one-fifth of the total national tax that year. At that time, the country's money tax could actually be paid by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but it was only three million yuan, and the majority was still a tax.
In other words, through "anti-smuggling", the emperor took over the "cash money" that was far beyond the reach of the foreign dynasty.
This does not count the emperor's profit in Yiyu Tongshan and Jiaozhou gold mines, let alone a large number of emerging industries and huge royal manors.
In addition, the emperor later promoted the "big feudalism", and the Amway was transferred to the name of Empress Changsun. The Longyou Road, which was sold in the Shujinguan Nei Road of the Ran family in Bashu, half of which fell into the hands of Empress Changsun.
Faced with this situation, whether out of envy, jealousy or hatred, those who starve to death and those who are brave, will always want to pick up some leftovers from the emperor.
What's more, gold and silver are never leftovers.
Old nobles and emerging nobles all had a strong desire to share the benefits from it, and powerful people like the Ran family who had heavy bleeding in some places naturally wanted to make up for it from other places.
This is why Changsun Wuji promotes the success of the "Shuo Shu Province" because there are a large number of fellow practitioners who hope to open up the situation from the core of Jingchu Province, that is, Mianzhou and Ezhou.
And those who can take on great responsibilities are naturally the former governor of Miangang, Shi Zhang De.
After the establishment of the Wuhan Registration Department, the former Ezhou capital Jiangxia naturally merged with the Mianzhou capital Hanyang to form a new-style area that echoed the north and the south.
As for building shipyards and building docks, it is completely smooth. From the central government to the local government, we are working hard to make a lot of gold and silver in two to three years.
The Tang Dynasty was seriously short of gold and silver. Now, they knew that a large amount of gold and silver were transported to Denglai on a certain sea route. How could they bear it?
"From the way, there are more and more people running the boat."
Zhang De stood with his hands behind his back, watching the thousands of sails moving forward on the river, feeling quite emotional.
However, before Lao Zhang could chant "Hundreds of boats competed for the current", Zhang Heng, who was coming soon from a distance, turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists at Zhang De and said, "Observe that the veterans of the 'New Fourth Army' have agreed."
"Oh? I never thought it was so easy to talk to."
"Observe, what do we want those people to do?"
"It's not my idea to form a militia, it's Zi Weiling's wise decision! Why are you not convinced?" As he said that, Lao Zhang bowed to Chang'an, looking extremely respectful.
Zhang Heng had a personality to his ancestors, and obviously knew that the "New Fourth Army" was originally the emperor's whim, but the investment cost was too high, so the emperor was reluctant to let it go, so it was abolished.
Now the official layoff is officially lifted, and the soldiers return to their hometowns and stay in the local area. In short, the emperor will not play.
But if the emperor doesn’t play, it doesn’t mean that Changsun Wuji and Zhang De don’t play.
Now that the emperor wants to establish the imperial decree of the "King Under the Seven Martial Arts Sea", isn't it normal for "Zhongshu Ling Changsun" to train a group of "Eleven Supernovae".
They are all shameless, who cares if they are "legal pirates" or rob them of the fuck!
As for whether there will be any storyteller complaining about the "worst generation" of Zhenguan in the future, it is related to his own affairs as long as it does not hinder him from working hard to create a learning machine for the Little Bald.
