Chapter 388 Navy! navy!

It's August.

In the fields around Lu Family Village and Jinshanwei, the lush crops have begun to head, and the harvest is very gratifying.

Chicken, duck and geese breeding organized by Xinger Lianer, under the artificial hatching technology, the number of chickens, ducks and geese has grown rapidly and has reached a scale of tens of thousands.

The scale of pig farming is also growing, and the piglets have already been born once. Although it has not yet reached the standard for slaughtering, there are already thousands of pigs.

The reproduction of cows and horses is relatively slow. At present, cows and mares are in the gestation period and have not yet produced cubs.

Since this time, the guns in the workshop area have already completed their production tasks, 10,000 rifles, 10,000 pistols, 1,000 artillery pieces, and countless bullets, shells and grenades, filling the arsenal. .

The progress of recruit training is also progressing. The first batch of 1,000 recruits has completed three months of military training and has initially formed battle strength. The second batch of 4,000 recruits also trained for two months.

During this period of time, thanks to the strong martial power of Jinshanwei, Songjiang Prefecture and the surrounding prefectures and counties have never dared to come to riot, and the environment is very stable and peaceful.

Lu Li, while paying close attention to military training, organizes research and development in logistics support, and has carried out many reform measures in terms of military uniforms, food and grass, transportation, etc., and the effect is relatively obvious.

Special transport vehicles, new military uniforms, individual rations, and other materials have entered the stage of mass production.

August is already the time for the provincial examination for the imperial examination.

The township examination of Nanzhili was held in Jinling.

This time the township exam, Lu Li still took the exam. For nothing else, the brand of raising people is much harder than being a scholar. A military attache, Lu Li, is not excluded or despised in front of civilian officials.

The social environment was like this, and Lu Li had no choice but to adapt.

On the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, Lu Li took a class of guards and drove a few carriages all the way to Jinling to participate in the Nanzhili Township Test.

The procedure of the imperial examination is still a routine.

After a body search, you will receive a license plate, enter the numbering room, and issue your test papers.

In the exam at this time, Lu Li was lucky enough to encounter another exam question that he had read in Baguwen in later generations.

This eight-part essay is the only authentic copy of the champion scroll in later generations. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the exam paper of the champion Zhao Bingzhong.

When Lu Li studied cultural relic identification with Old Han, he also studied this eight-part essay.

Now that I have encountered the same exam questions and remembered this champion paper, Lu Li was naturally too lazy to use his brains and copied it directly.

Lu Li didn't pay attention to the results after passing the rural exam with ease.

If the number one scholar in the Wanli year cannot pass the exam in the Jiajing Dynasty, then it is definitely a shady story.

Lu Li is concerned about something else.

Fighting Japanese pirates, even Tatars, or all the armies in the world, Lu Li is confident enough to push the world horizontally and unstoppable.

However... Japanese pirates can go to sea!

In addition to the Japanese pirates at sea, there are also Western French aircrafts who are vigorously launching a large nautical movement.

Today's Spanish duck has its tentacles extended to Southeast Asia. This time next year, the Grape Ducks will enter Haojing (Macau).

Therefore, it is very urgent to build a fleet as soon as possible and form a maritime force.

Lu Li came to Jinling this time mainly for the shipyard under the Jinling Ministry of Industry.

In those days, Jinling Shipyard built the largest invincible fleet in the world. It was here that Zheng He's treasure ship sailed to the West.

Nowadays, the treasure ship has long been demolished, and the workshop has long been dilapidated. Even the blueprint of the treasure ship and Zheng He's nautical charts, nautical skills and nautical records have all been passed down by a "clear and famous minister" Liu Great Xia, one of them. Burn the fire.

Fortunately, with Lu Li's knowledge level, it doesn't matter without these things, the chart is drawn by himself, and Lu Li can also figure out the most important judgment of azimuth and distance in navigation technology.

Even if Lu Li is asked to design a boat, although Lu Li is not a professional, it is not too difficult to design a sea boat according to the principles of fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, material mechanics and buoyancy .

The only difficulty is...no craftsmen!

Lu Li can theoretically design a warship, and to make it, he can rely on craftsmen.

When Lu Li came to the former site of Jinling Shipyard, what Lu Li saw was dilapidated.

The Jinling Shipyard, which was originally capable of producing the world's largest ship and possessed the world's strongest shipbuilding technology, is now... just like a barren mountain.

The dilapidated buildings, the overgrown grounds, and the desolate sight. When Lu Li and his party passed by, they even saw a few wild rabbits running around.

After walking around the ruined Jinling Shipyard site, Lu Li didn't find half a silhouette.

Hundreds of years later, the craftsmen who once built the treasure ship will naturally not be alive today. Their descendants have long since fallen apart and disappeared.

Lu Li let out a long sigh and looked at the head helplessly. Only to find another way!

Nowadays, there are a lot of people who go out to sea in the southeast, and there should be a lot of people who know how to build ships. Although it is all in the hands of the local tyrants, but...under the barrel of the gun, what can't be obtained? If it really doesn't work, then it can only be arrogant and domineering.

“Who are you?”

When Lu Li turned to leave, he suddenly heard shouting loudly.

Turning his head and looking at the river in the distance, a beggar in dilapidated clothes, leaning on a bamboo pole, is standing in the bushes on the shore, watching Lu Li and the others vigilantly.

“Who are you, Lu Li, the commander of Jin Shanwei?”

Lu Li reported the origin and asked the beggar again.

"I...I'm..."

Beggar's eyes flashed with panic, looked up at Lu Li and his party, then... turned around and ran.

"Stop!"

Lu Li yelled and rushed out.

After finally seeing a living person at the old site of Jinling Shipyard, Lu Li naturally couldn't let him run away like this.

With Lu Li's 100m sprint speed, he quickly caught up with this beggar.

Lu Li grabbed the beggar, held it down, and pushed it to the ground.

It's just...why does it feel a little soft? Could it be that this guy is still a girl?

"Ah..."

The beggar, who was pushed down by Lu Li, looked like a madman, struggling desperately, and even opened his mouth and bit down on Lu Li's arm.

Fuck! Aren't you a dog?

Lu Li quickly withdrew his hands, dodging the ferocious bite.

"Alright, alright. I'm not here to catch you!"

Lu Li let go of the beggar and said quickly: "I just passed by here, not to catch you. Yes."

"Bah! Dog officer!"

beggar scolded again, glaring at Lu Li, looking like he was desperate.

"You're a bit over-the-top! The officials are not necessarily all dog officials, and the common people are not necessarily honest and kind."

Lu Li smiled shook the head, "Okay. I really didn't come to catch you. I asked you something, and I'll leave."

With that, Lu Li pointed at the dilapidated shipyard Ruins, "You live here? Then do you know, where are all the people who were here before?"

If you ask the government about the whereabouts of these craftsmen...there is no one at all. Know, are you believing or not?

"There's no one here for a long time!"

Seeing that Lu Li really wasn't here to catch him (her?), beggar stood up, patted the grass clippings on his body, He said, "Some of the people who used to live here were transferred, some ran away, some... died, and I was the last one alive."

This answer is not out of Lu Li's expectations.

"Then... do you know where those people who left have gone?"

Lu Li stretched out a piece of silver and handed it to beggar, "I want to ask Artificial ships. Do you know their whereabouts?"

"You want to build a ship?"

Reaching out to take the silver from Lu Li's hand, beggar grinned and pointed to himself, "For shipbuilding, look for me! As long as you give me money, I will build any boat. Even if you want to build a treasure ship."

"Just you?"

Lu Li He raised his brows and deliberately said, "You still know how to build ships? Origami boats are about the same."

"Captain Treasure is forty-four feet long, eighteen feet wide, and has six masts. The giant tree in southern Yunnan is used as the Keel..."

Agitated by Lu Li, beggar opened his mouth and revealed a series of treasure ship data.

"Stop!"

Lu Li interrupted beggar's words with a wave, and a smile appeared on his face: "Report your name and origin. I will give you one hundred silver tael every month. , please help me build a ship."

"One hundred taels per month?"

beggar stared wide-eyed, stunned by this huge monthly salary.

"My name is Zheng Yuan, my patriarch Zheng He!"

beggar raised his head, his face proud.

Are you kidding me? If I didn't know Zheng He was a Court Eunuch, I almost believed it!

Lu Li curl one's lip, "Okay, stop talking nonsense! Be honest about the origin. Sanbao Court Eunuch has no descendants!"

"Who said there are no descendants?"

p>

beggar angry roar, "My ancestor Ma Wenming took over, inheriting the incense of the Zheng family, we are naturally the descendants of the Zheng family." (Ma Wenming's adopted name is too scary to write.)

Seems like... like true?

Zheng He's original name was Ma Sanbao. After he became famous, it was normal for him to find a nephew from the Ma Family to adopt.

It's just...

Lu Li looked down at this "descendant of Zheng He", feeling a little helpless. Zheng He, who is famous in history, has his descendants mixed up like this, which is really speechless.

On second thought, this is normal.

Under the urging of "clear and famous officials", the treasure ship was dismantled, the workshop was destroyed, the blueprint and records were all burned, and Zheng He's descendants may not have a good life.

"Zheng Yuan, right?"

Lu Li nods to the beggar! Walk with a smile, "Two silver coins a month, build a boat for me."

"Okay!"

beggar looked at the silver in his hand, and then at Lu Li, thinking that Lu Li, a handsome guy, shouldn't look like a bad guy.

Well, looks are justice.

A good looking person is not a bad person? Who told you that!

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, waved his sleeves, turned around and left, taking only one beggar!

……

Back at the Inn, let beggar wash up, change clothes and come out, Lu Li almost went blind.

This Zheng Yuan has a delicate and three-dimensional face, delicate and fair skin, and has the feeling of a mixed-race beauty.

"You...do you have an alien bloodline?"

Lu Li couldn't help but ask Zheng Yuan.

"You are the aliens, and you are the barbarians!"

When Zheng Yuan heard this alien bloodline, she jumped into a rage and roared at Lu Li.

Well, in the Ming Dynasty, it was the biggest insult to say who had an alien bloodline.

Even at the risk of offending Lu Li, Zheng Yuan couldn't help cursing.

"Sorry, I said something wrong!"

Lu Li understood this kind of mentality of Yanhuang Guizhou, and even agreed with this mentality, and quickly apologized to Zheng Yuan.

We are not racist because...in our eyes, all but ourselves are barbarians, and there is no difference at all. (laughs)

Lu Li's apology actually surprised Zhang Yuan.

"My lord, I am the impudent!"

Zhang Yuan quickly apologized to Lu Li.

"Okay. Okay."

Lu Li waved his hand, "Tell me about shipbuilding!"

Next, Lu Li Li and Zheng Yuan had a detailed talk about shipbuilding.

During the conversation, Lu Li found out that this Zheng Yuan is a genius with high IQ. All kinds of ship data and shipbuilding craftsmanship are so familiar and clear.

"Where did you learn these things?"

Lu Li was a little curious and couldn't help asking.

"Our Zheng Family is famous throughout the world for maritime affairs, and the family has been looking forward to the day when the country will open the sea and sail again. These knowledges have been passed down from generation to generation."

Speaking here , Zheng Yuan's expression was a little sad, "However, hundreds of years have passed, and the sailing is far away. The Zheng Family...I am the only one left."

"It's not in the future!"

Lu Li nodded to Zheng Yuan, with a serious face, "Build me a ship! We will sail to the sea and cross the ocean!"

"en!"

Zheng Yuan looked up at Lu Li, seriously nodded.

……

Having gained a professional in sailing and shipbuilding, Lu Li is very satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

And then...Lu Li also passed the exam.

A few days later, the Nanzhili Township Test was released, and Lu Li passed the township test with the second place in the township test and gained fame.

The reason why it is the second, not the first, is only because Lu Li already has an official position.

In order to avoid suspicion, Head Examiner knocked down a name of Lu Li's article "The Talent of the Top Scholar" and placed it in second place.

Lu Li doesn't care about it, and it is enough for Lu Li to be able to gain fame.

Having the status of a leader, even in the period of the noble and the military, Lu Li, the commander of the Jinshan Guard, does not need to kneel before the civil servants.

In the examination, the juren was awarded the second place. Lu Li naturally also received a lot of banquets.

The communication between these literati is not important to Lu Li at all, nor is it meaningful. If you have this time to talk to them about business, it is better to go home and train your troops.

After rejecting all kinds of banquets and all kinds of literati and literati affairs, Lu Li took a group of people and returned to Huating County all the way.

The goal has been achieved.

Next, Lu Li will start building warships and training the navy.

At this time, Lu Li felt a little regretful. In the astronaut plot, why didn't he go to the navy to play around?
