Chapter 470 Shipbuilding

Chapter 470

Soon Zhang Hao took Jiajing to the edge of a pool outside the Danfang. At this moment, there was an iron ship about one meter long placed next to it.

"Your Majesty, check this ship to see if it's all made of iron!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing. After hearing this, Jiajing ignored him. Lu Fang immediately waved to the eunuchs behind him. The eunuchs went to inspect the ship, and they were all made of iron.

"Your Majesty, it's all iron!" One of the eunuchs said to Jiajing.

"Please it into the water. If it sinks, throw this bastard into the water!" Jiajing said to the eunuchs.

He didn't believe it at all. He thought that he would sink later and threw Zhang Hao into the water. Now it's July day, it's hot, and it's okay to take a cold shower.

When Zhang Hao heard this, he looked at Jiajing depressedly. Jiajing was cruel enough. Soon, the two eunuchs carried the iron ship to the edge of the pool and put it down, but to Jiajing's surprise, they did not sink, but they did not sink.

"Nee, bastard, haven't sunk?" Jiajing immediately arrived at the edge of the pool and looked at the iron-armored ship carefully. Zhang Hao ignored him.

"Hold it up and say, I want to check it myself!" Jiajing said to the two eunuchs. The two eunuchs fished the boat again, and Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing proudly. He just asked you to check it out and you didn't check it, but now he's going to check it out again.

"Get a stone, I'll knock it to see if it's fake!" Jiajing carefully said to the eunuch behind him. The eunuch immediately picked up a stone. Jiajing knocked it in his hand. It was really iron and solid.

"How is it? Can you sink?" Zhang Hao stood there and said proudly.

"Let it go again!" Jiajing gave Zhang Hao a blank look, then said to the eunuch. The eunuch put it down again, but it still floated on the water.

"How is it?" Zhang Hao said proudly.

"You kid, you are really good. You can even take a boat with iron?" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Of course, look at it!" Zhang Hao said as he squatted down immediately, and then began to put the iron blocks on the boat, which were very heavy.

"These represent our people and materials. Of course, if we want to build warships, the ship must be very large, for example, this magnification is 100 times.

Then, Master, please calculate that these pieces of iron are 15 kilograms, and the volume has been expanded by 100 times in all directions. That is, if it is expanded by 1 million times, it can hold 15 million kilograms, which is about 15,000 tons. Of course, I can't do this, but it's okay to expand by 50 times. Then it can also hold more than 2,000 tons. Do you know that one ton is equal to 2,000 kilograms. Well, by the way, it's almost 2,000 kilograms!" Zhang Hao thought for a while, this unit of measurement has not been completed yet, and one kilogram is not the standard 500 grams.

"Can you really succeed?" Jiajing was still a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, you're in front of you. Are you reluctant to give up money or don't believe me?" Zhang Hao was so angry that he shouted to Jiajing.

Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao, thinking in his heart that there were all, but the main reason was that he didn't believe it. God, according to what Zhang Hao said, such warships are not invincible, they are all iron. How powerful is that? Can those pirate warships be so powerful? They will be destroyed as soon as they hit.

"Are you really good?" Jiajing asked as he looked at Zhang Hao.

"Otherwise, let me do it myself and let me build an iron house. You don't have to worry about anything. When I build it, you can buy it from me. I won't say much about such a warship, 1 million taels per ship!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"So expensive?" Jiajing immediately shouted at Zhang Hao.

"It's definitely not that expensive to build, but if you want to buy it, it's definitely expensive. I don't want to make money?" Zhang Hao stood there and said to Jiajing for granted.

"Okay, how many years will I see such a warship?" Jiajing asked Zhang Hao.

"Hehe, 2 years, how, 2 years later, I'll go to clean up those pirates!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and said,

After hearing this, Jiajing stood there and thought about it. Now the southeastern places are at least 2 million taels of silver a year. It has been more than ten years since then, and has consumed 30 to 50 million taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhang Hao can really make it, of course it would be better. Thinking of this, Jiajing said to Zhang Hao: "Okay, write the memorials, I have approved it, you do it. If you can't do it well, you can see how I deal with you. Then go to the cabinet to serve as a minister!"

He knew that Zhang Hao didn't want to be a civil servant, but he just wanted to be a military general. However, Jiajing has discovered that it is also good for Zhang Hao to be a civil servant. At least, Shuntian Mansion is very good now, and a good harvest is coming soon. Then the people will be able to live a good life.

In addition, the houses in Shuntian Mansion have been built now, and the people of Shuntian Mansion can make a lot of money now, which is very helpful for stabilizing the people around the capital.

Also, Zhang Hao has made all the money he has made back. Now he wants to build a warship, so he must have agreed. If he loses, he will lose. It doesn’t matter. Anyway, there are three workshops, but they are very profitable. As long as Zhang Hao is willing to do things, he will still support him!

"Okay, Your Majesty, wait, I will write it immediately. I will find someone to do this by myself. I will say yes, 28 cents, and if you sell it to the army, you will give it at the cost price. But if you sell it to the people, you can make money!" Zhang Hao stood there and said happily.

"Sell it to the people? Do you want to sell such a ship to the people?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao in surprise and asked,

"Of course, if we kill those pirates at that time, we still have to do business. Those people will definitely need such warships. Of course, don't worry, it's not that big, and we won't be equipped with weapons!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"Well, okay, do it, do it. If you don't let you do it, you bastard will annoy me every day. I don't know you yet?" Jiajing waved his hand and said,

Zhang Hao laughed. He knew that Jiajing would agree. Soon Zhang Hao arrived at the Jinyiwei and gave all the regulations on the supervision of farmland approved by Jiajing to Shen Lian.

"Go and do this well. The emperor agreed. Let the brothers below remember what is written above. There are not only rewards but also punishments. Once they find that they have violated the rules, they will be cleaned up at that time. It is not good that they are all their own brothers!" Zhang Hao said to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian nodded immediately, looked at the charter carefully, and finished reading it quickly, and said to Zhang Hao: "Sir, I know what to do if I have this charter. Don't worry, I will definitely do it!"

"Okay, go and be busy. At that time, you will monitor the land across the country!" Zhang Hao said to Chen Lian. Chen Lian nodded and went out quickly. Zhang Hao started writing the memorial. At this time, Liu Yunhai came over.

"Sir, the house search has been arranged! When will the selection start?" Liu Yunhai asked Zhang Hao.

"Oh, take it, take a look first. If you have any opinions, let me say now. I'm still busy writing the memorial. After you finish reading it, if you feel something is wrong, please mark it first and talk about it later!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Yunhai.

"Hey, it's sir. I'll watch it first, you're busy!" Liu Yunhai immediately said to Zhang Hao. He also knew that Zhang Hao would trust Chen Lian more, but there was no way. He was Zhang Hao's boss before, and this time he could only get promoted.

Now, although Zhang Hao trusts himself, he still does not trust Chen Lian as much, so he still needs to work hard.

Soon, Liu Yunhai finished reading it, but he didn't find any problems, and it felt fair. After reading it, Liu Yunhai didn't dare to disturb Zhang Hao. He kept resting in the middle of Zhang Hao's writing. Seeing that Liu Yunhai was still there, Liu Yunhai saw Zhang Hao resting and immediately poured tea for Zhang Hao.

"Have you finished reading?" Zhang Hao asked Liu Yunhai.

"I finished reading it, and I wrote it very well, but, sir, I don't know what to say!" Liu Yunhai immediately said to Zhang Hao in embarrassment.

"You said, there is nothing we can do. Now we are discussing everything. Just say whatever we have!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"Sir, you also know that our Jinyiwei has been Jinyiwei for generations. Many of the old Qianjia and commanders were also in Jinyiwei. Many of their sons were also in Jinyiwei. Many of them had average abilities. But after all, their fathers still did a lot for Jinyiwei, so they wanted to be promoted, but according to the assessment, it was not possible. Therefore, this matter needs to be considered." Liu Yunhai said to Zhang Hao. After hearing this, Zhang Hao also considered it.

"Sir, it's not that the officials are making things difficult for you. They have looked for me many times in this matter. They dare not come to you for fear of disturbing you and making you unhappy, so they came to me. Sir, this involves the interests of many people. They are originally small groups. If we offend them, it may not be good. If we do something wrong in the future, it may cause problems!" Liu Yunhai said to Zhang Hao.

"Well, what about your suggestions?" Zhang Hao nodded and asked Liu Yunhai.

"A few people who have been promoted can still pass, and the others can stay away from moving. Then those people have nothing to say, and we are not not going to give them a chance!" Liu Yunhai said to Zhang Hao.

"That's fine. We are short of people, but you have to choose people for me. If the person I choose is not capable, and the brothers below are not convinced, it will not be good at that time. Please review it carefully and investigate it. You can do this!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Yunhai.
