Chapter 389 The greatest auspiciousness under the sky

The boundary where Jinshanwei is located is also near the sea.

In the southeast of the Acropolis of Jinshan, there is a vast expanse of ocean.

In later generations, this is also a famous port - Jinshan Port.

Lu Li's naval base was located near the Jinshan Pier in later generations.

First of all, do infrastructure construction, road repair, dock repair, warehouse repair, battery repair, military barracks repair, shipyard repair.

After accepting the employment of Lu Li, Zheng Yuan devoted great enthusiasm to the construction of the shipyard and devoted herself to her work.

Lu Li didn't take care of it directly, but went back home, got into his study, and began to write a naval training program and design ships.

To be honest, the job is more complicated and more difficult than I imagined.

Although Lu Li's knowledge is extraordinary, he has read many books and mastered a lot of knowledge, but... as a modern person, who knows how to operate sailing battleship?

Sail battleship, I can't figure it out!

So...so...go straight to the steam engine?

The principle of the steam engine is very simple. With the various hydraulic machine tools in the workshop, it is not difficult to process the parts of the steam engine.

However, the welding technology of pressure boilers is not easy to solve.

How to play electric welding without electricity? Do I have to come up with a Generator first? This is more difficult.

Huh? etc! It seems...welding technology is very late. Before the advent of welding technology, steam engines and ironclads used "multi-riveting steamed steel" technology.

Yes! You can use rivets!

Thinking of this, Lu Li was suddenly enlightened, and all kinds of thoughts popped up in his heart.

The steam engine! Industrial Revolution!

The power source has been updated, and various machines and equipment are no longer limited by water power, but can be driven by steam engines, and industrial production capacity has further skyrocketed.

Of course, the most important thing is the steam ironclad.

It is still impossible to build all ships with steel in a short period of time. Not to mention the problem of steel production, even the shipbuilding technology cannot be realized in a short time.

However, it is possible to drive a treasure ship with a steam engine, and even cover the deck and key positions of the treasure ship with a layer of iron.

The shape of the ship should also be redesigned. The design idea of the treasure ship is still the idea of fighting, mainly relying on the soldiers on the ship to fight.

This way of picking up the boat is obviously outdated. Installing turrets on ships and using artillery for long-range attack operations is the future development direction.

In the next period of time, Lu Li and Zheng Yuan worked together to study the design drawings of the treasure ship, and on the basis of the treasure ship, modified the ship type, revised the design plan, and redesigned a brand-new battleship.

With steam power, there is no need for a mast. By adopting the artillery attack method, the number of crew members on the ship was greatly reduced without the need for side-to-side battles.

The structure of the treasure ship, Lu Li has also been further optimized. The towering ship building was directly removed, and the height of the building on the side of the ship was greatly reduced, which enhanced stability and resistance to wind and waves.

The stern is designed as a square, and the bow is designed as an acute angle flying shear structure, which is similar to the hull shape of later generations.

Sixty guns are installed on both sides of the ship's side, and two sect master guns are installed on the front and rear decks.

As a result, an invincible battleship with a length of 124 meters and a width of 50 meters, using a steel keel, driven by a steam engine, and having 124 artillery pieces, has officially completed the design.

As soon as this design plan came out, Zheng Yuan was stunned.

"Sir, such a warship can't be built without a 300,000 silver tael!"

Zheng Yuan's budget is too high, she doesn't know Lu Li's The cost of artillery is not so expensive, and the cost of steel keel is not so expensive.

But...to build this ship, it would take at least 200,000 silver tael.

Although Lu Li would like to say "what I have is money", but...the reality is cruel.

Even if the Lu Li family has a big business, the industrial output of Lu Family Village makes money like flowing water, but spending money is like flowing water. The daily consumption of five thousand army troops is terrifying.

This kind of super battleship that is invincible across the ocean is really not fun!

Well, have fun!

I just thought that the bigger the tonnage, the better, the more the better artillery, but the result...the design was too advanced.

To fight Japanese pirates and Western Frans, where do you need such a powerful battleship? formidable power is completely redundant.

As a result, Lu Li greatly reduced the size of the battleship.

Mainly, ships with a displacement of about 2,000 tons are used as the main battleship. Forget the 10,000-ton giant ship before!

Redesigned battleship, named destroyer by Lu Li.

Displacement of 2,000 tons, steel keel, steam engine drive, propeller propulsion, twenty-four side guns, one fore and aft main gun.

The cost of this battleship is much cheaper, only 30,000 silver tael can be built. The construction period of the ship has also been greatly shortened. From the five-year completion of the 10,000-ton giant ship, it only takes about half a year.

"It has been finalized. This type of destroyer is called Zhenhai-class destroyer."

After completing the battleship design, Lu Li handed over the blueprint of the design to Zheng Yuan, and began to organize personnel and purchase materials to build ships.

Lu Li also took the opportunity to recruit a thousand young and strong fishermen as a naval reserve for preliminary training. Once the battleship is completed, let them go out to fry fish and conduct professional battleship combat training.

As time goes by, all work is carried out in an orderly manner.

The crops in the fields are turning yellow day by day, and the army recruits in the barracks are also maturing day by day.

The autumn harvest is finally here.

On this day, Lu Li called out all the soldiers who were undergoing military training to harvest the crops with the farmers.

Jinshanwei, Lu Family Village, the vast fields are full of people busy with the autumn harvest. The joy of the harvest and the heavy grains made everyone smile and blossom.

“Young Master, the yield of rice is 1,200 catties per mu.”

“Young Master, the yield of corn is 1,400 catties per mu.”

“ Young Master, the yield of potatoes is 3,500 catties per mu.”

“Young Master, the yield of sweet potatoes is 2,800 catties per mu.”

The agricultural experts came to report excitedly , the entire Lu Family Village, the entire Jinshanwei, the joy of the harvest is everywhere, and the cheers are everywhere.

At least the yield per mu is more than 1000 catties, which makes everyone who knows a little bit about agriculture feel dumbfounded.

"Master Lu Shennong is still alive! With such a high-yield crop, we no longer have to worry about running out of food!" Lu Li is grateful.

Hearing that Lu Family Village and Jinshanwei had a good harvest and high yield, Yuan Zhixian, who has not yet been transferred, danced with joy, eagerly rushed to Lu Family Village.

"Auspicious! Lord Lu, auspicious!"

Yuan Zhixian shouted all the way, stumbled in.

"What's the matter?"

Lu Li was looking through the autumn harvest grain statistics report, but couldn't hear what Yuan Zhixian was shouting.

"Auspicious! The yield of rice per mu is 1,000 catties, and the crops with various names are also 1,000 catties or even thousands of catties per mu."

Yuan Zhixian hurriedly told Lu Li After explaining it, he hurriedly said: "Lord Lu, hurry up and report to Your Majesty memorial, this is a great auspiciousness!"

Oh, I almost forgot about this.

The ancient Chinese dynasties liked to play auspicious things very much, and all kinds of strange auspicious things came out.

Even Zhu Di, the Great Emperor of Yongle, was used to play auspiciousness with giraffes and regarded the giraffes as Qilin.

Well, who says Qilin isn't a giraffe? What if this thing really has a nickname called Qilin?

Lu Li laughed. The auspiciousness of my high-yielding crops is at least much stronger than the auspiciousness of the giraffe alias Qilin.

"Then report the auspiciousness!"

Lu Li said to Yuan Zhixian with a smile: "I don't know much about the operation of reporting the auspiciousness, and I asked Mr. Yuan to do it himself. It's over."

"many thanks, Mr. Lu!"

Yuan Zhixian was overjoyed and quickly thanked Lu Li. Don't you just want to get some light on this auspicious auspiciousness?

"Master Lu, are there any crops that haven't been harvested yet? You must provide evidence, otherwise this auspicious auspiciousness will not be reported."

Yuan Zhixian is an experienced hand, and soon into the working state.

"The autumn harvest has just begun! There are still many fields that have not been harvested. I will leave a hundred and ten acres of land at the Zhujing Thousand Households for inspection!"

It should be enough to take a hundred acres of crops for inspection, right?

"Good! Good! Very good!"

Yuan Zhixian nodded again and again, "This officer is going to draft the memorial. Please Mr. Lu send someone to take some samples. Send it along with the memorial. Go to Songjiang Prefecture."

A moment later, Yuan Zhixian wrote a memorial to the Jiajing Emperor, and after signing it with Lu Li, Lu Li sent someone to drive the carriage to deliver some food samples. Sent to Songjiang Prefecture.

Ma Mingyuan, the prefect, received the "auspicious" memorial and frowned tightly.

"This Yuan Dinghong is still playing auspiciousness? If he is so flattering, doesn't he have the integrity of a scholar and a doctor?"

Ma Mingyuan looked at the extremely nauseous praise of virtue and flattery. Words, my heart is very tired and crooked.

Looking up at the black clothed soldier who appeared to be presenting auspicious auspiciousness, Ma Mingyuan said again: "Lord Lu of your family, even though he has entered the military position, he is still in the middle of the auspiciousness. ?"

"Rice yields thousands of kilograms per mu? Do you think the old man doesn't understand Nongsang? And what kind of corn is there? Corn? Can you become a fairy after eating it? And potatoes, are they made of mud? Got beans? You really play the piano."

Ma Mingyuan slapped the table and cursed angrily.

The black clothed sergeant who came to report is Sun Ding, who once fought Lu Li's victory in Aries.

At this moment, Sun Ding heard Ma Mingyuan scolding Lu Li angrily, so he naturally quit, and quickly said: "Mister Magistrate, my commander said that hearing is false, but seeing is believing. If you don't believe it. , please go to Lu Family Village to find out!"

"Yo?"

Ma Mingyuan laughed angrily, "Okay! I want to see it in this house, Lu Zi. What tricks are Ming and Yuan Dinghong playing!"

Afterwards, Ma Mingyuan got up and went to Lu Family Village.

When I came to Lu Family Village, Ma Mingyuan was a little stunned when he saw the mountains of grain on the rice drying field. Could it be...is it true?

So, Ma Mingyuan hurriedly asked Lu Li to take him to the farmland, where he personally selected an acre of paddy fields, watched the farmer finish harvesting, and watched the weighing with his own eyes.

This is wet millet, and naturally it will not be so heavy after drying.

Looking at this weight, Ma Mingyuan was already stupid.

After a long while, Ma Mingyuan said: "God bless Daming! God bless Daming! This is auspiciousness, this is the greatest auspiciousness of since ancient times! Since then, the people will not suffer from famine, and Daming will surely be Forever."

This is the truth!

As long as the common people have food, who would rebel? Even if there are ambitious people who want to do something, they can't incite the public at all, and no one responds at all.

So, Ma Mingyuan wrote a memorial in person to report the auspiciousness, and also asked Lu Li to send a team of soldiers and horses to escort a truckload of rice, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes all the way to the capital. Present auspiciousness.

This auspicious auspiciousness not only shocked the six ministries of Jinling, but also shocked the six ministries of Yanjing and the cabinet.

What are you kidding? You Ma Mingyuan want to shoot the emperor's flattery, but there is no lower limit? A thousand kilograms of grain per mu? This is too nonsense, right?

Even Emperor Jiajing Imperial Capital, who saw the auspicious memorial, laughed. Although Lao Tzu likes cultivation, although Lao Tzu likes auspiciousness, do you think Lao Tzu is a fool when you say that a thousand jins of grain can be produced per mu?

"Since Ma Mingyuan said, please send an imperial messenger to check, then send someone to take a look!"

Jiajing Emperor rarely spoke, "Eastern Yard, Bright Gown Guard, and Hu Ministry, a member of various sects is out of Beijing, let’s go and see this auspiciousness!”

According to the decree of Jiajing, Eastern Yard, Bright Gown Guard and a head of the household, under the banner of imperial envoys, went to grandiose Songjiang Prefecture.

After more than half a month, the imperial envoy finally arrived at Songjiang House.

At this moment, Lu Li's autumn harvest work has long since ended, leaving only the 100 mu of farmland that Zhu Jing Qianhu deliberately left behind.

The imperial envoys are really serious about their work, especially the head of the household who looks like an old farmer. He even went down to the fields to check it once, and after several times, he finally confirmed that these fields had not been touched, no? Crops transplanted from elsewhere.

The head of the household department once again watched the harvest and the weighing with his own eyes, and the result...was even scarier than what was on the list.

Seeing this output, the head of the household was in tears, "God bless Daming! God bless Daming!"

Wiping away his tears, the head of the household turned his head towards Lu Li and said: " Lord Lu, this is the auspiciousness! This is the real auspiciousness! This official, Hai Rui, reports to the Holy One, and the auspiciousness is not false at all. This is the greatest auspiciousness in the since ancient times!"

Huh? You... are you Hai Rui?

Since ancient times, the honest official with the hardest bones and the strongest battle strength, Hai Rui who scolded Imperial Capital to death by saying "Jiajing Jiajing, every family is exhausted"?

You are awesome!

Lu Li secretly gave a like to Hai Rui, the head of the household.

With Hai Rui coming forward, no one would doubt the grain output. Although many people did not like Hai Rui and even hated Hai Rui, no one did not believe in Hai Rui's character.

As expected, when Hai Rui sent the imperial envoy report back to Beijing, officials from all ministries in Jinling and all ministries in Yanjing exclaimed, and the world shook!

Fuck! Is there really such a high-yielding crop?

This is not auspicious, what is auspicious? Everyone has food to eat, and the people no longer suffer from famine. Such auspiciousness is the greatest auspiciousness in the world.

The Jiajing Emperor immediately laughed heartily when he saw Hai Rui's performance.

What happened to Lao Tzu's cultivation? What's wrong with Lao Tzu's ignoring the government?

I have auspiciousness! Lao Tzu has the auspicious auspiciousness that can make the common people have enough to eat!

Auspicious luck was created by Lu Li? Are these high-yield crops all made by Lu Li?

Reward! Reward! Must be rewarded!
