Wubei City, shipyard.

Twenty-five huge tower ships and gunboats were neatly arranged on the dock waterway, and thousands of craftsmen were busy on it, and the scene was really magnificent and spectacular.

These Dragon Teeth Battleships have entered the final assembly stage and are about to be completed.

However, there was no excitement or excitement on Taichang's face.

Because he already has higher pursuits!

It is nothing unusual for the Ming Dynasty to build twenty-five tower ships and gunboats at one time, it is a normal level.

There is nothing to be proud of at this level. At least the Dutch man-made ships are stronger than the current Ming Dynasty, and even Britain and France are not necessarily worse than the Ming Dynasty at this moment.

He needs to be bolder and take a step bigger!

Da Ming clearly has technology far beyond this era, but has not reached the level far beyond the world. What are you proud of?

Taichang sighed in his heart, then asked faintly: "Liangfu, how long will it take for this batch of Dragon Tooth Battleships to be completed?"

Wang Zheng said helplessly: "Originally, these Dragon Tooth Battleships will be almost completed by the end of the month, but the cannons are not available, so it will take at least one month to wait."

He was not very interested at this moment, because the progress of the Dragon Tooth Battleship was delayed, and his bold words that he had completed in nine months failed to realize.

Of course, he can't blame him for this.

Seeing his appearance, Taichang couldn't help but pat his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, Liangfu, the Dutch have been beaten away anyway. It's no big deal if these Dragon-Tooth Warships are late."

The emperor said so, what else is there to worry about?

Wang Zheng said embarrassedly: "Fortunately, it's not wrong, otherwise the guilt of the empress will not be forgiven."

Taichang shook his head slightly and asked Sun Yuanhua again: "Chuyang, now the artillery factory is working hard to build 500 kilograms of Thunder God Cannon. How many doors can it be built in a month?"

Sun Yuanhua said in a bit ashamed: "Your Majesty, I really didn't expect that the demand for artillery would suddenly increase so much. At this moment, the artillery factory will work day and night and work hard for a month to build up at most 600 medium-sized Thunder God cannons."

Wang Zheng and Sun Yuanhua cannot be blamed for these, because he transferred the thousands of cannons.

Taichang smiled and said, "Okay, you don't need to blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. You all clean up and go back to Beijing with me later."

ah?

Wang Zheng couldn't help but point to the twenty-five dragon-tooth warships that had not yet been completed and said, "Master, what should we do if we go back?"

Taichang shook his head slightly and smiled, "Didn't you say you have to wait for more than a month to complete the work? Besides, if you are not here, will they not work? Let's go back with me, I have more important things to discuss with you."

There are more important things!

When Wang Zheng and Sun Yuanhua heard this, they were all confused. They really couldn't figure out what was more important than the martial arts city in the Ming Dynasty.

Taichang didn't say anything more, and waved his hand and asked them to prepare. Then he took a group of guards to climb the nearby city wall.

At this moment, the construction of Wubei City has come to an end, and at least the dozen cities in the south have been completed.

All the craftsmen also had their own work and went to work in the factory or shed to work. The whole city looked no longer messy, and there were people everywhere.

At this time, important personnel from the Ministry of Works can also return to Beijing to work on more important things.

The most important thing in the Ming Dynasty now is development, rather than rushing to build weapons and fight wars.

Because the Ming Dynasty already has a steam engine, as long as you study it carefully, you will definitely be able to create more advanced weapons and equipment than you are now.

And once you have more advanced weapons and equipment these days, it will be too easy to fight.

Just like the continental powers bullied the natives without muskets and artillery, it was simply easy to crush them.

In other words, as long as the Ming Dynasty developed more advanced weapons and equipment, it could easily crush the Netherlands and Japan.

So, at this time, there is no need for him to rush to start with others.

The Taichang Station city wall held a telescope and glanced for a while, and Wang Zheng, Sun Yuanhua and others were ready.

Without saying anything, he went down the city wall and took a group of important workers from the Ministry of Works to board the wolf-tooth warship built specifically for him and headed straight for the capital.

After a few months, he finally returned to the capital.

This time it should be the longest time he has left Beijing, because he has spent too much time to suppress pirates, migrated to the garrison to build acropolis, and dealt with the Dutch.

Fortunately, there was no change in the capital, almost the same as when he left.

The people still live and work in peace, and the officials in the court also perform their duties. Everything is in order and nothing happens.

I have to say that Zhu Youxiao, the governor who is the prince, is really reassuring.

Because he has no ambitions and no desire for power, unlike some princes who want to take power regardless of whether they can do it or not, and even if they are doing it, they have to take over by themselves.

This kid is a typical technical mate. If it weren't for the prince's responsibility to supervise the country, he would probably not even bother to read the memorials.

Alas, I don’t know what will happen to this kid in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the court is in control of his promoted confidants, nothing will happen.

If the Ming Dynasty had several treacherous ministers like Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, I don’t know if this kid could hold on.

If the territory of the Ming Dynasty expands rapidly and the population expands rapidly in the future, I don’t know if this kid can control it.

Alas, this kid's ability to govern the country is really worrying!

Taichang took a boat from the North Moat into Jishui Pond, then passed Shichahai and entered Taiye Pond, and finally returned to the imperial city.

At this time, the dock next to Chengguang Hall was already full of people. Not only did the Prince Zhu Youxiao and a group of ministers of the court come, but even the Imperial Concubine Wu Wan'er was waiting there with her big belly.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but walk up to the dock quickly, hurriedly raised his hand and ordered everyone to avoid the common etiquette. Then he walked up to support Wu Wan'er's arm and said with concern: "Wan'er, why have you been here too? What if something goes wrong?"

Wu Wan'er still said naively: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I'm not so fat that I can't walk anymore. My mother said that it's good to walk more. Besides, I'm not pregnant alone. Look at them, don't they all come?"

Well, there are actually a few concubines who are pregnant, but their belly is not as obvious as Wu Wan'er.

Taichang felt that he could not be too favorable to the other, so he was stunned for a moment, then walked over and gave a few words of condolences one by one.

At the end of his condolences, he realized that the Crown Princess Zhang was standing there shyly with her belly straight!

This little girl was happy too!

He couldn't help but say surprise: "Yun'er, when did you get pregnant? Why didn't the school boy tell me?"

This princess is not a civilian background like other queens and princesses. Her life experience is prominent.

She is Zhang Miaoling and Zhang Zhiji's young sister Zhang Miaoyun.

Taichang also wanted to find a strong arm for the prince Zhu Youxiao, so he advised his beloved son to marry Qianjin from the British Duke's mansion to be the crown princess.

After all, the nobles are basically the same as the country. If the Ming Dynasty is over, these nobles will basically be over. Moreover, the Duke of the British is famous for knowing the general and being a good person.

Of course, he didn't force his baby son to marry a woman he didn't like.

Zhang Miaoyun is actually quite beautiful, and her personality is similar to Zhang Miaoling, which is quite interesting.

Zhu Youxiao also likes this princess very much.

Now, Zhang Miaoyun was still shy and embarrassed to speak. Zhu Youxiao explained with a smile: "Father, aren't you worried that you are distracted from fighting outside? Yun'er has been pregnant for four or five months."

OK!

You should come out for my entire grandson as soon as possible.

You guys have little hope for this personality, so I might as well train my grandson!

At this moment, Taichang felt that the future of the Ming Dynasty was full of hope.
Chapter completed!
