"Your Majesty, the steamer has been built."On this day, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly ran to Zhu Houzhao and congratulated him.

"oh? Has the ship been built? Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows:"So fast?""

"Yes, a ten-ton ship has been built. Zhang Juzheng quickly explained:"Does your Majesty want to go and have a look?"

If possible, we can mass-produce these ships"

"A 100,000-ton ship?"Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly. The ten-ton class is actually not low.

After all, we have just started building ships now.

Compared with the tens of thousands of tons of ships in the previous life, the ten-ton class is indeed a little smaller.

"Have you ever visited it?"After pondering for a moment, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhang Juzheng

""810""I have seen it. If these ships can be mass-produced, our Ming Dynasty's manpower and cargo transportation will be greatly improved!""Zhang Juzheng said with joy.

As Zhu Houzhao's confidant and the main force of the reformists, Zhang Juzheng naturally hopes that Ming Dynasty can become stronger and better. Although some things, on the surface, seem to have nothing to do with him, he is also Zhu Houzhao after all. The chief minister of the cabinet.

When the Ming Dynasty continues to grow in the future, Zhang Juzheng will also be remembered in history.

This is also what the literati are most looking forward to and happy about.

"Build a Ming Dynasty Royal Shipyard outside Songjiang City! Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and then continued to add:"Is there still money in the treasury?

If there is no money, I can just use the internal funds.""

"Your Majesty, the treasury has money, but how large a shipyard will be built and how many ships will be built?"Zhang Juzheng said quickly.

Just kidding, if they let internal funds pay again, wouldn't they fail?

In Zhang Juzheng's view, this first shipyard must be built by the Ming Dynasty treasury, otherwise, who knows what will happen next. What is Zhu Houzhao going to do?

One thing about Zhu Houzhao actually makes Zhang Juzheng very satisfied, that is, when doing things, he likes to use internal funds to cover the bottom line.

In Zhang Juzheng's view, there are some things that the small money from the national treasury can really bear. Can't help it, if the Ming Dynasty's treasury is responsible for it, the Ming Dynasty will really be doomed.

"That's right! Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and then said:"We can build this shipyard in stages. Let's build a thousand-acre shipyard first, and then slowly expand it."

Just invest five million taels this year."

Five million taels...

Zhang Juzheng also trembled when he heard this. When did they start saying five million taels so easily?

Are they crazy? Or is Zhu Houzhao too ostentatious!!

But , think about it carefully, is the current five million taels a big number for Ming Dynasty?

It seems to be the same thing!

"The treasury can take out this money!"Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly and said quickly

"kindness! At that time, those steamers will first be supplied to the imperial court. Later, you can also consider selling it to me, such as merchants from the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the premise must be after the internal digestion of Ming Dynasty is completed."After a pause, Zhu Houzhao continued.

Zhang Juzheng was also surprised when he heard this, and quickly said:"Your Majesty, no, it is easy for people to spy on the secrets of our steam engines."

"There is no need to worry about this. Even if other countries want to imitate it, it is not easy. They don’t have so much steel!"Zhu Houzhao's face showed a confident look:"If they can really figure out a reason, I am actually looking forward to it. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Just imagine, if all their steel is used to build ships, how can they make weapons?"

Zhang Juzheng was also shocked when he heard this. This is indeed true. He can even use this to trick other countries, as long as the iron smelting technology does not spread.

In this way, other countries will inevitably not be able to catch up with the Ming Dynasty.

For For the Ming Dynasty, it would be a good thing if other countries also studied steam engines.

Zhang Juzheng left soon, especially after knowing that Zhu Houzhao seemed to have no interest in visiting the shipyard in person, Zhang Juzheng took the initiative to take over. It

’s not that Zhu Houzhao is not interested in shipbuilding or anything else. No one understands the importance of the ocean to a country better than Zhu Houzhao...

I just don’t know how many countries will follow suit in the future.

And in this world , I don’t know what is on the other side of the sea?

It seems that there are no seven continents and four oceans, right?

"What is Your Majesty thinking?"After Zhang Juzheng left, Zhu Houzhao fell into deep thought, and Huang Rong stepped forward and asked.

During this time, Huang Rong and Shao Min also returned to Zhu Houzhao.

Naturally, they did not want to miss being with Zhu Houzhao. time

"I'm thinking about how to bring fun to other countries!"Zhu Houzhao didn't hide anything and said directly:"I feel that Temujin and his friends are living too easy now."

"Does Your Majesty think we are not working hard enough?"Shao Min also looked at Zhu Houzhao with some resentment after hearing this.

Shao Min was responsible for many of Meng Yuan's actions. In fact, Shao Min did a pretty good job.

Currently, a lot of Ming's intelligence on Meng Yuan comes from Shao Min. Collected by Min

"No, Minmin, Ronger, what you have done is good enough!"Zhu Houzhao shook his head repeatedly. No matter how harsh his demands were on the two women, he could not put forward higher demands on Huang Rong and Shao Min.

After all, Shao Min and Huang Rong were not only collecting intelligence, 2.2 but also A large number of spies and spies were arranged to enter the side of Meng Yuan's civil and military forces.

Some people even began to constantly instigate these civil and military forces. Although these people were still listening to Temujin's words honestly on the surface, Zhu Houzhao knew that as long as Temujin If Zhen Yi dies, he may no longer be able to suppress these people, and Meng Yuan will be divided by then.

Moreover, the previous information about the Phoenix Egg was also spread by Shao Min and Huang Rong.

There is no doubt about the ability of these two people of

"I was just thinking that if Temujin were allowed to continue his attack like this, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty would have already annexed the Northern Song Dynasty before the Southern Song Dynasty took action!"Zhu Houzhao sighed lightly:"The Northern Song Dynasty is still too weak now. d"
