According to Liu Mang's idea, since the cannon could be built, then build a little more, and if there is a thousand eight hundred gates, he will not believe it if the enemy directly pulls it out and hits his mother. There is a city that can withstand the bombardment of these three thousand respected cannons.---

But it is obvious that Liu Mang's idea is good, but the reality is very backbone. Just like Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law who plundered most of the wealth left by Yangzhou, he could not withstand Liu Mang's consumption.

You should know that a cannon of 3,000 yuan alone costs 900 yuan, and in every aspect it looks like gunpowder, frames, and projectiles, the price is even higher.

If you build a thousand eight hundred doors, just one thousand doors will be left, then Yangzhou will lose everything.

Who can afford one million gold? Fortunately, Mi Zhu and Liu Ye and others dissuaded Liu Mang, otherwise Liu Mang would really have to play like this.

Finally, he won a win, and he didn't get a thousand eight hundred gates, but there were still one hundred and fifty gates in three thousand cannons. Even if he only added fifty gates, Mi Zhu walked away cryingly. Fifty gates were 50,000 gold. This is not a small number. At that time, Sun Quan, a son of the second son of Jiangdong, only 10,000 gold, and even one-fifth of the one here can reach.

These three thousand giant cannons are naturally impossible to use as army cannons, because they are too heavy, and they need at least two or three to pull a war horse, so they can be replaced by thousands of small cannons. Thousand small cannons are 500. Such a thousand small cannons, pulling a war horse with a carriage is enough to run away, and finally create a carriage. This speed does not require too much, and it is enough to keep up with the large army.

There were three thousand cannons, and Liu Mang left eight gates on the top of Shouchun City, and of course the deterrence is more practical than his. If an enemy attacks the city, the enemy will be frightened as soon as the cannon is fired. The other important cities such as the Jiangxia Jiujiang in Wancheng and even Hao Shao’s Yangtze River Village are like this.

Liu Mang drew 200 small cannons to form an artillery. This artillery is really luxurious. It is made of gold. Each cannon is 350 gold. One cannon requires a war horse and another 30 gold. One cannon requires a firearm. Three loading hands, and one cleaning hand is four people. Two hundred cannons are 800. In addition, the heavy armored footsteps that have become guards, Liu Mang allocated a scale of 2,000 people, and the world's first artillery unit was formed.

"Lord, what about the remaining artillery?" Xu Shu next to him thought that these artillery were either used for city defense, and the three thousand giant cannons were difficult to move, so they were absolutely easy to use when fixed on the city wall. It could increase the range by one shot. However, he did not expect that Liu Mang did not all equip Yangzhou city with three thousand cannons. Even the thousand small cannons were not taught to the army.

"The remaining three hundred small cannons and one hundred three thousand cannons are allocated to the navy." Liu Mang said to Xu Shu and others beside him.

"What?" Xu Shu was obviously stunned. One hundred, three thousand cannons and three hundred, thousands of small cannons were all given to the navy? Xu Shu was right. Why did the navy need these cannons? They had crossbows.

"Yuan Zhi, you are not wrong. These cannons were originally designed for warships!" Liu Mang said to Liu Ye next to him, "Ziyang takes out your drawings and teaches our inner ministers, so that our inner ministers can give you a budget before you can build warships!"

Whether it is the creation of warships or cannons, Liu Mang cannot make arbitrary decisions alone, so these are all things that Xu Shu needs to do. In this way, Xu Shu can infer how much money Yangzhou can spend to use. Liu Mang is unwilling to be alone not because he wants to let his subordinates perform more freely, but because he doesn't want to be too tired.

"These warships?" Xu Shu was a little dizzy when he saw this drawing, because the information marked on the warship in front of him was really shocked by Xu Shu.

"There are eleven masts?" Xu Shu looked at the masts of the sails on it, and looked at the comparisons on the side. The size of this warship should be about 1,500 tons, which is about five times larger than the main warships Liu Mang is using now.

"How can a warship of this size drive down the river in the river?" Xu Shu asked Liu Mang in surprise.

"This ship is not a ship in the inland river, he is a real sea ship!" The Galen ship that Liu Mang made before is not a sea ship in the true sense. He is more practical in the inland river. They just wander slowly along the coastline. How dare they go out to sea?

"Sea Boat?" Xu Shu was even more confused. Why are you doing sea boats? "Lord, our ships are enough now!" For people today, there are barbarians outside the sea and barren places. Now we should be content with peace of mind to fight for the Central Plains and the North, rather than going to sea.

"The small boats in Gan Ning's hands are at most slapped, how can they be considered sea boats? This is what I want." Liu Mang asked Gan Ning to send people out to explore the Taiwan and Hainan that had not been discovered yet, but the ship went out, and a few were sunk after a few were released. It was still a Yangzhou navy, but he was lucky and was pushed back by the sea tide. Only then did they know that their small boats were sunk by the waves halfway up, and no one could live to feed the sharks.

So Liu Mang wanted to build this sea ship. The drawings Liu Mang gave Xu Shu were the drawings of the Marine Power Number. This warship was an outstanding sail warship that Europeans conquered the sea. Its displacement was 1,500 tons, and its total length was about 70 meters. The draft was between five and six meters. The speed was about ten knots.

Liu Mang could not completely imitate the military-level warship, after all, this is a work of art. The military-level warship should have been loaded with one hundred and twenty 60-pound cannons, eight 30-pound cannons, 32 18-pound cannons, and 44 9-pound cannons.

Liu Mang's warship did not meet this requirement. He now only had 100 cannons of three thousand cannons and 300 small cannons. These 3,000 cannons were only 18 pound cannons, and the 100 cannons were about nine pounds.

"How much does this warship cost?" Xu Shu looked at Liu Mang and asked. He didn't believe that this lord would not estimate it if he took out such a thing.

"Yuanzhi, our Ministry of Works has estimated that the wood will be used on site. It is about 80,000 gold." Liu Ye estimated this because Yangzhou had not built such a huge warship. Therefore, all the yards had to be demolished and rebuilt, which is so expensive. If the first ship had to be built with experience, then the price of one ship was about 50,000 gold.

"Eighty thousand gold?" Xu Shu had the intention to kill Liu Ye and Liu Mang. Fortunately, Mi Zhu was not here. If Mi Zhu were there, he would have fainted again.

"Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi. I can tell you that once this military power number is created, it will only make money but not lose money. Do you know what kind of land is after you leave Jiaozhou!"

"Nanyue!" Xu Shu said that when the Qin Dynasty was about to perish, Zhao Tuo, the Nanhai County Magistrate, raised an army to annex Guilin County and Xiang County, and later established the Nanyue Kingdom in about 203 BC. In 196 BC, Zhao Tuo submitted his sanctions to the Western Han Dynasty, and the Nanyue Kingdom became a "foreign minister" of the Western Han Dynasty. Around 183 BC, the Nanyue Kingdom had a feud with the Western Han Dynasty, and Zhao Tuo began to proclaim himself emperor. Later, the Minyue Kingdom, Yelang, Tongshi and other countries all belonged to the Nanyue Kingdom, and the influence of the Nanyue Kingdom expanded to the peak. In 179 BC, Nanyue Kingdom.

The country was reconciled with the Western Han Dynasty, and Zhao Tuo once again resigned to the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Wen of Han. In 113 BC, Zhao Xing, the fourth monarch of the Nanyue Kingdom, had a dispute with Prime Minister Lu Jia because he asked for "internal subordinates" from the Western Han Dynasty. Lu Jia killed Zhao Xing, made his brother Zhao Jiande the new monarch, and confronted the Western Han Dynasty. In 112 BC, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty sent 100,000 troops to launch a war against the Nanyue Kingdom, and destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom in 111 BC and set up nine counties. The Nanyue Kingdom existed for 93 years and lasted for five generations of monarchs.

Xu Shu knew Nanyue because Nanyue was finally destroyed by the Han Dynasty. It can be said that there are many territory in Jiangdong now, which is the territory of Nanyue. Some of the people of Nanyue integrated into the Han people and became Baiyue.

Some of them continued to go south.

"From the south of South Vietnam, there are some small countries located just like the current Western Regions. Once this passage is opened, we can open up the Silk Road on the sea. With these sea boats, we can make the hundreds of countries on the road surrender to us for offerings. Then we are afraid of having no money!" Liu Mang's words had already touched Xu Shu.

If you tell Xu Shu that there are endless familiar gold, silver and jewelry south of South Vietnam, Xu Shu might think you are coaxing him, but if you tell Xu Shu about the Silk Road, Xu Shu will be able to shine.

After Yumen Pass, that is the direction of the Western Regions ahead. Before Emperor Wu of Han, who could have known that there were so many small countries in the Western Regions, such as Yelang, Yue Ding, and Dayue Zhi, Loulan. These are all small countries in the Western Regions. Although these small countries in the Western Regions are small, they are rich. When trade with them, they can exchange endless treasures with silk.

"Have the lord ever understood these countries on the sea?" Xu Shu asked in confusion.

"No!" Liu Mang also didn't know much about Southeast Asia at the end of the Han Dynasty. After all, the Han people who could record historical books were busy fighting at this time and had no time to pay attention to you. Those who had the skills were basically from the monkey class and didn't even have any words. What did you ask him to record, so this paragraph was simply blank.

However, Liu Mang was not discouraged. Although he didn't know how well the Southeast Asian countries are now, he knew that going south would definitely be beneficial. The location of those gold and silver mines should not change, not to mention that there is an India there.

"How much is this kind of warship built?" Xu Shu knew that he could not stop the appearance of this sea ship, so he could only see if he could build a few less ships. He was really afraid that this Liu Mang's cheap master would call for another thousand or eight hundred ships, and that would be done.

"Even if you want to build too much, you won't have any money!" Liu Mang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "He knew that this warship and cannon had almost emptyed Yangzhou's savings. Let's build three first!"

Liu Mang said to Xu Shu that his original plan was three, just one hundred cannons on a warship, and thirty-three cannons each of the three thousand cannons. In other words, there are 133 cannons above a military-level warship. Although it is not as good as the military-level in history, it is enough in this park for more than two hundred years.

"Okay! There are only three ships, only three ships!" Xu Shu said, gritting his teeth.

"Of course, this military power has been tested three earlier. We can build more of it, and we can use it to build it more."

"Yeah" Xu Shu was a little panicked. He heard the other words again, for fear that his lord would build other warships.

"Don't panic in Yuanzhi, don't panic in Yuanzhi. What we are going to build below is not warships, but merchant ships!" Liu Mang asked Xu Shu to look at the drawing below. Xu Shu's heart was slightly determined when he looked at the drawing. On the drawing, there was also a thousand-ton ship, but this big ship was much simpler than the military power level, and its characteristic was fat. No wonder, merchant ships, only those who loaded goods could look good can have ghosts.

"This kind of merchant ship costs about 2,000 yuan, and the construction cost is about 20,000 yuan. The first batch will also build three ships!" Another 60,000 yuan cost.
