*************************************************** *************************
Yang Yi and Qing Niang have not been back to their hometown in Hangzhou since they came back from Japan. It has been three years. Hangzhou is known as the first state in the southeast and is one of the few large cities in the Song Dynasty with a population of over one million.
In the past three years, Hangzhou has undergone considerable changes. Due to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce's vigorous promotion of overseas trade, Hangzhou, which was originally extremely prosperous, has become the most important commodity distribution center at home and abroad, with various workshops springing up like mushrooms after a rain. ;
And these large workshops often require a lot of labor, which causes Hangzhou's population to increase rapidly and the market to become more prosperous;
There are more than 200,000 households scattered in the city. The city is lined with pearls. Cars and horses crowd the high office. It is surrounded by lakes and mountains. Sheng songs are heard on the left and right. Ten miles of bead curtains pass the music. The four-season painted boat rides on the clear waves. Beauties and celebrities stay out all night. The lights in the market are all night long. And merchants from all over the world, sailing in the waves, going in and out among the smoke, waves and mist, it can be said to be prosperous!
When Yang Yi, Qing Niang and Adela entered Hangzhou by boat, they felt the prosperity of the prosperous times. The waterways were busy with boats, the markets were crowded, and the voices of people gathered into the clouds;
The shops are full of goods, with a dazzling array of Chinese and Western goods. It¡¯s dizzying to see, with flags flying in restaurants and teahouses. The delicious food and wine are fragrant everywhere;
In a brothel, beauties dance by the window. The music of the harp, the harp, and the clear songs intertwine and echo. Here, the stunning beauties from Japan, Goryeo, India, and Persia can often be seen. The singing and dancing talents of various countries are presented by the beauties, the literati and poets write poems to praise them, and the wealthy children spend huge sums of money.
Yang Yi and the other three walked through the bustling market, came out of the west gate, and finally returned to their hometown hidden among the smoke and water.
Now it is not just the Yang family who has expanded their elegant garden house by the lake. After not coming back for three years, great changes have taken place around the Yang family. Many wealthy families followed suit and went out of the city to build elegant villas, inadvertently giving birth to the garden culture of Hangzhou.
Nowadays, the Yang family is surrounded by quiet mansions. Some of the mansions here are occupied by people, and some are used as garden-style hotels. The exquisite and elegant buildings add a charming scenery to the edge of the West Lake.
Han Bier, who had returned to Hangzhou in advance to make arrangements secretly, came out of the door to greet her, beaming with joy and making a ceremony.
And we arrived at the second gate. The eldest princess of the State of Qin is dressed in a green skirt like a woman from a water town, with a graceful figure and lotus flowers growing every step of the way. The beauty is green without painting, the lips are red without spots. Her pretty face was full of joy of reunion. If Qing Niang and others weren't there, she couldn't help but throw herself into Yang Yi's arms.
"Ying'er. Does this beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River suit your liking?" Since arriving in Hangzhou, the eldest princess of Qin has been using the pseudonym "Zhao Ying". So when Yang Yi calls her, he always uses this pseudonym.
"Yes. I have visited many places. When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as the fire. When spring comes, the river is as green as blue. In the past, I read the poems of the ancients and I yearned for Jiangnan. Now when I go to Jiangnan, the ancients do not deceive me. It is really like a dream. In the south of the Yangtze River, the misty water and the spring breeze cross the painted boats, and the scenery is endless, making people forget to leave." The eldest princess of Qin finally managed to control her joyful emotions and replied softly.
In fact, Qing Niang had met the eldest princess of the Qin State when she was in Huanzhou, and Qing Niang had a royal decree, and she had sent women to the palace to celebrate the New Year every year. .
It¡¯s just that Bingxue is smart and knows that even at home in Hangzhou, it is not convenient to reveal the identity of the eldest princess of Qin, lest the family members find out about it and leak it.
She stepped forward, folded her hand and said, "Qing Niang has met Sister Zhao."
Knowing the importance of Qing Niang in Yang Yi's heart, the eldest princess of Qin didn't trust her too much and said quickly: "Qing Niang, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly."
Adela did not know the true identity of the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom. She only knew that she was Yang Yina's new love. However, when she saw Qingniang's courtesy, she was secretly surprised and hurriedly went up to salute her.
As soon as everyone met, the considerate Qing Niang immediately found an excuse to take Adela to rest, so that the eldest princess of Qin could have a chance to be alone with Yang Yi.
Yang Yi wanted to take a bath so that he could wash away the dust of his life. The eldest princess of Qin shyly expressed that she wanted to bathe with him. Yang Yi was very moved and finally declined.
Letting the princess take a bath may sound tempting, but it is actually not very comfortable. This beautiful girl of heaven has grown up being served by others, and suddenly she is asked to serve others in turn. How much better can she serve? Well, you have to cultivate it slowly.
Of course, Yang Yi turned to Han Bi'er to take care of the bath. In addition to Han Bi'er taking care of everyoneIn addition to making people feel elated, the main reason is that he and Han Bier still have confidential matters to discuss.
It¡¯s spring weather in March. Due to the spring rain, the temperature is still a little cool. Soaking in a pool of hot water immediately makes people feel comfortable all over, and every pore is opened.
As Han Fox¡¯s water-snake-like waist twisted slightly, a purple skirt slipped from her enchanting body, and the infinite spring was released.
When she helped Yang Yi scrub, she didn¡¯t use a towel, but her big papaya-shaped breasts. As her slender waist gently expanded and contracted, her soft breasts gently rubbed against his body, making people extremely ecstatic.
"Huh" Yang Yi couldn't help but let out a long breath and stretched his body comfortably, "Bier, how are things arranged?"
Han Bier raised her head, smiled charmingly and said: "Don't worry, sir, everything has been arranged. There are thirty warships, six of which were modified in Kagoshima and equipped with one front cannon and two side cannons on each side." , According to your instructions, this time we dispatched a total of 3,000 men and horses, carrying 500 flintlock muskets, and 800 newly recruited servants, totaling 3,800 people, and three supply ships with 2,000 supplies."
Han Bi'er suddenly stopped when she said this, and then said: "Sir, Nunu has some great news to tell you. The Mingzhou Shipyard has built the treasure ship according to our requirements, and now it has begun testing. It's sailing well at sea, just a few improvements to the mainsail."
Yang Yi couldn't help but sit up after hearing this. Since he prompted the official shipyard to allow private customization of ships, the shipbuilding industry in the Song Dynasty has developed amazingly in the past few years. Because there are too many privately customized ships, the docks of the official shipyard are always full of people. Building ships is too busy;
The shipbuilding orders received by large official shipyards in Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Wenzhou and other places have been scheduled for a year. In other words, if you don¡¯t have any backdoors, go to the official shipyard now to customize sea-going ships. Wait until a year before it's your turn to build your boat.
Shipbuilding alone now brings nearly 10 million yuan in revenue to the court every year, and this number is still rising, exceeding the total annual commercial tax before the first year of Shaosheng.
Such a huge income, coupled with the strong demand for shipbuilding, prompted the imperial court, which enjoyed the benefits, to continuously expand the official shipyard, add shipyards, recruit more craftsmen, and increase the wages and salaries of the craftsmen. Organize experienced craftsmen to improve shipbuilding technology to cope with the increasing demand for shipbuilding, while creating greater tax revenue for the court.
At the beginning, Yang Yi did not formulate too many programs in order to make the shipbuilding industry of the Song Dynasty develop greatly, but he used the simplest and most direct method. Just use money, use countless free money to stimulate.
This method has achieved amazing results. Who would have thought that the shipbuilding industry of the Song Dynasty could have such amazing development a few years ago. Under Yang Yi's deliberate guidance, countless white coins were thrown at the official shipyard. It also constantly puts forward new requirements to the official shipyard;
From a big ship with two thousand materials to a big ship with five thousand materials. Continuously placing large orders forced the official shipyard to work hard to develop.
The official shipyard could not handle so many shipbuilding orders, so many private shipyards also prospered. It is said that there is a private shipyard in Fuzhou. Because it has mastered the technology of building 3,000-material sea-going ships, its scale has grown to match that of others. At all major official shipyards.
Nowadays, in Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Dengzhou, Liaoyang, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Qinzhou and other coastal cities, a large number of private shipyards have been spawned. Some private shipyards even pay heavy sums of money to bribe the craftsmen of the official shipyards to steal advanced shipbuilding technology. technology to increase the competitiveness of their own shipyards.
In the context of the explosive development of the shipbuilding industry in the Song Dynasty, Mingzhou officials continued to improve shipbuilding technology and finally successfully developed the treasure ship customized by the Western Indian Ocean Trading Company. This is definitely a milestone.
Yang Yi happily hugged Han Bi'er and asked repeatedly: "Bi'er, please tell me the specific situation. Has everything been built according to our requirements?"
Han Bi'er saw that he was so happy that he was so happy that he turned a blind eye to the enchanting body in front of him. She couldn't help but glance at him resentfully, straightened her chest, and put a trembling breast into his mouth. He hummed: "I don't feel sorry for Nunu at all. It's in vain that Nunu has spent all his time planning for me."
Yang Yi was blocked by a ball of white soft flesh, and could only say vaguely: "Thank you for your hard work, Bi'er. I don't want your benefit, please tell me about the treasure ship."
"This is not the same. The newly built treasure ship this time has a length of 42 feet, a width of 17 feet, and a draft of about 13 feet."
"Wait a minute." Yang Yi suddenly stopped and quickly calculated in his mind. Forty-two feet long, that is, about one hundred and twenty meters long; seventeen feet wide, that is, more than fifty meters wide.
The 100,000-ton USS Nimitz aircraft carrier seems to be about 300 years long.?, forty meters wide, when comparing the two sets of data, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel his heart beat wildly.
But don¡¯t be too happy. Zheng He¡¯s treasure ship seems to be 44 feet long and 18 feet wide. It¡¯s bigger than the treasure ships we build now. Okay, it¡¯s a little smaller, but it¡¯s acceptable. This is a displacement. A large ship of nearly 20,000 tons is no better than the light aircraft carriers of later generations.
"Bier, continue."
"Nu Nu forgot where he mentioned it."
"The captain is forty-two feet long, the width is seventeen feet, and the draft is about one foot and three feet." Yang Yi caressed her soft breasts, making Han Bier moan softly.
"Furthermore, the ship is four stories high, with a total of nine masts and twelve sails. It adopts a hard-sail, rotating oar and flat-bottom design. The whole ship has twenty-eight watertight compartments. Well, it is said that the flat-bottomed ship is relatively simple to make and can hold more cargo. Moreover, it has a shallow draft and can travel in deep and shallow water. It has little resistance at sea, is fast, and can travel in all directions. Well, if it wants to set sail, it will require more than two hundred people to operate it."
"Okay! Okay!" Taifu Yang was really excited when he heard this.
"Bi'er, let's try the operation first. Come on, Bi'er will rock the oar, and I will be the sailor. Let's hoist the sail now."
"Oh Master"
