Chapter 754

The continuous drizzle wetted the vegetation and the bluestone Road, and the slight ticking sound seemed to be the shallow singing of the earth.

Experiencing this kind of quiet feeling, Xiao Ming's heart was suddenly quiet.

Over the past five or six years, he has been busy with government affairs, but seldom has he been so relaxed. Now his interest can't be stopped, so he said, "this is simple. I'll give you a game that four of you can play. In this way, you can relieve your boredom in your spare time."

Aster likes to be lively. She claps her hands and says, "what is the emperor going to teach us? "

after pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said," I can send someone to the ceramic workshop if there is no such thing now. "

After that, he called Qian Dafu, and he found some paper and strokes to draw a lot of patterns. Then he asked Qian Dafu to take this to the ceramic workshop and ask them to send it.

The next day, the ceramic workshop will send things. These are small squares with various patterns printed on them. It's nothing else, but contemporary mahjong.

After breakfast, lvluo, aster and Cui Xueer come to the bedroom as promised. At this time, Xiao Ming and Fei Yueer have explained how to play mahjong.

When the three came, Xiao Ming introduced the rules to them. This time, Xiao Ming used technology crystal, so the four people's memory of the rules was very fast.

"It's fun." Aster two light, she has always been the most fond of frolic, stained with this thing suddenly deep in it.

Xiao Ming then said with a smile, "come on, I'll play with you today. If you have nothing to do in the future, you can take the Empress Dowager with you. The Empress Dowager of the province is bored."

"What the emperor said is that this man must have some fun, otherwise he will always think wildly."

Fei yue'er, Cui xue'er and aster sit down at the table. Lvluo stands behind Xiao Ming and pinches his shoulder for him.

Aster a face bad smile, "then you every night, what are you thinking?"

Green Luo immediately made a big red face, "aster elder sister, you bully me again!"

Fei yue'er chuckles. She looks at Cui xue'er. The imperial concubine is most unfamiliar with them, so she says, "xue'er, the aster is a pungent family. They are used to playing. If you accidentally say something wrong, don't worry about it."

Cui xue'er nodded her head slightly. She was envious of Fei yue'er's laugh and scold. Now she wanted to join in, so she said, "don't worry, you are all sisters. I won't be upset at this time."

For a man, what he is most afraid of is a fire in the backyard. Although it's interesting to see some palace tricks in modern times, he doesn't want to see some messy things in his palace.

But now he is relieved to see Fei yue'er's big sister. As long as Fei yue'er can take care of the overall situation, the palace will not be in chaos.

Starting with mahjong, Xiao Ming and the four forget the time as soon as they play. Only at noon when Qian Dafu reminds them to have lunch can they recover from the fun of playing mahjong.

Because they had just come into contact with mahjong, they were addicted to it. After lunch, they surrounded the city and started fighting again. After all, Xiao Ming came from the past and was not very sad about it.

He and Qian Dafu went to Qingzhou shipyard. Now he has begun to expand his power overseas, which is very important to maintain the maritime hegemony.

Without more advanced warships, his rights and interests at sea are likely to be challenged by European countries, so it is necessary for him to develop more advanced warships.

Out of Qingzhou City, Xiao Ming goes along the Xiaoqing River to Qingzhou shipbuilding workshop. At this time, a ship smoking in the River attracts Xiao Ming's attention.

This is a class five Galen warship. At this time, a towering pillar protrudes from the center of the warship. It is this pillar that keeps emitting black smoke.

Zhang Liang and Lin Wentao are both on Galen's boat. They are talking about something.

When they saw Xiao Ming coming, they came down from the boat to Xiao Ming.

"The emperor."

Zhang Liang and Lin Wentao said at the same time.

Nodding, Xiao Ming asked, "isn't this the first batch of galleons? "

" yes, Emperor. " Zhang Liang answered and said, "after seeing this steam engine, I feel that I can completely transform the former Galen into a warship with sailing and steam power. Otherwise, it will cost a lot of money to rebuild it."

Xiao Ming nodded. Zhang Liang said this to his heart.

In fact, during this period, Xiao Ming has been worrying about the upgrading of weapons. In just six years, Qingzhou's firearms have changed from flint guns to rifled guns, and now they are going to be upgraded to fire cap guns.

It's hard for the government to bear the constant change of equipment, but it's just the change of fireguns. The change of warships is a big problem.

A galleon costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. He can't afford such a replacement.

"Yes, that's what I came to the shipyard for the other day. Now that you can transform the Galen into a steam boat, I'm relieved." Xiao Ming said.

Praised by Xiao Ming, Zhang Liang began to laugh. He said, "this is my duty."Nodding, Xiao Ming continued: "now this Galen doesn't depend on the wind. How fast can it go in the water?"

"About eleven." Zhang Liang said.

Lin Wentao said: "emperor, the speed of this ship has exceeded that of a warship relying solely on wind power."

"Well, that's a good thing. In this way, the time from Dengzhou to Koryo will be greatly reduced, and we can also have an advantage in the naval battle."

Xiao Ming said that the sailing speed of the ship is expressed in knots. One knot represents 1.852km, and the eleventh knot is 20.372km. Basically speaking, the speed is 20km / h.

Compared with steamships, sail warships rely on wind speed very much. Three or four knots are normal when the wind is small, and eleven or twelve knots can be run when the wind is strong.

But on the whole, there is no steamship to be stable, which is why windsurfing warships are quickly eliminated after steamships come out.

After all, if you encounter a calm day, this kind of warship meets at sea, the sail warship will be destroyed.

With a look of excitement, he continued: "if this warship is successfully transformed, you will focus on the transformation of the warship this year."

"Yes, Emperor." Zhang Liang answered, and then he said, "but Lin Wentao has to be able to provide enough steam engines."

Lin Wentao immediately showed a bitter face. "Now everyone who sees me asks me for a steam engine. The emperor, the lower officials are suffering now."

As soon as his voice fell, the three of them laughed together. Xiao Ming said, "I'm going to talk to you about this. Now you can give the steam engine to your men. Now the most important thing for you is to continue to develop new steam engines."
