Chapter 389 The Greatest Auspiciousness Under Heaven

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

In the southeast of Jinshan Acropolis, 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 Wharf in later generations.

First, do infrastructure construction, repair roads, repair docks, repair warehouses, repair forts, repair barracks, repair shipyards.

After Zheng Yuan accepted Lu Li's employment, she 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 complex and more difficult than imagined.

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

Sailing 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-resistant boilers is not easy to solve.

Without electricity, how to play electric welding? Do I have to get the generator out first? This is more difficult.

Huh? and many more! 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 suddenly became enlightened, and various thoughts popped up in his heart.

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 achieved in a short time.

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

The ship type must also be redesigned. The design idea of ​​the treasure ship is still the idea of ​​​​fighting on the side, 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 of the treasure ship. Based on the treasure ship, they modified the ship type and the design plan to redesign a brand new battleship.

The use of steam power naturally eliminates the 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 the 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, similar to the hull shape of later generations.

Sixty guns were installed on both sides of the ship's side, and two main guns were 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 possessing 124 artillery pieces, has officially completed the design.

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

"Sir, such a warship cannot be built without 300,000 taels of silver!"

Zheng Yuan's budget was too high. She didn't know that Lu Li's artillery wasn't that expensive, and the steel keel wasn't that expensive.

But... to manufacture this ship, it will cost at least 200,000 taels of silver.

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

Even if Lu Li's family has a big business, Lujiazhuang's industrial output 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, and the more artillery, the better. As a result... the design plan was too advanced.

To fight Japanese pirates, to fight Western Francophones, where do you need such a powerful battleship? The power is completely excessive.

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

Ships with a displacement of about 2,000 tons are mainly used as main battleships. Forget the 10,000-ton giant ship before!

The redesigned battleship was named Destroyer by Lu Li.

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

The cost of this kind of warship is much cheaper, and only 30,000 taels of silver 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's finalized. This type of destroyer is called a Zhenhai-class destroyer."

After completing the battleship design, Lu Li handed over the design drawings to Zheng Yuan, and began to organize personnel, purchase materials, and start building the ship.

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.

Day by day, all work was carried out in an orderly manner.

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

The autumn harvest has finally come.

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

Jinshanwei, Lujiazhuang, 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.

"Master, the yield of rice per mu is 1,200 catties."

"Master, the yield of corn per mu is 1,400 catties."

"Master, the yield of potatoes is 3,500 catties per mu."

"Master, sweet potatoes yield 2,800 catties per mu."

Agricultural experts came to report excitedly. The whole Lujiazhuang, the whole Jinshanwei, was full of joy of harvest and cheers everywhere.

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

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

The farmers of Jinshanwei were tearful and grateful to Lu Li.

Hearing that Lujiazhuang and Jinshanwei had good harvests and high yields, Yuan Zhixian, who has not yet been transferred, danced with joy and rushed to Lujiazhuang.

"Auspicious! Lord Lu, auspicious!"

Yuan Zhixian shouted all the way and stumbled in.

"What's the matter?"

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

"Auspicious! The yield of paddy is 1,000 jin per mu, and those crops with messy names are also 1,000 jin or even several thousand jin per mu."

Yuan Zhixian hurriedly explained to Lu Li, and then hurriedly said: "Lord Lu, hurry up and report to Your Majesty, this is the great auspiciousness of heaven!"

Oh, almost forgot about this one.

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

Even Zhu Di, the emperor of Yongle, was used to play auspiciousness with giraffes and regarded giraffes as unicorns.

Well, who says unicorns aren't giraffes? What if this thing really has a nickname called Kirin?

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

"Then report the auspiciousness!"

Lu Li smiled at Yuan Zhixian: "I don't know much about Bao Xiangrui's operation, so I asked Mr. Yuan to do it himself."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu!"

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

"Master Lu, are there any crops that have not been harvested? You must provide evidence, otherwise this auspiciousness will be difficult to report."

Yuan Zhixian is a middle-aged and veteran, and soon entered 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! Great!"

Yuan Zhixian nodded again and again, "This official is going to draft the memorial. Please, Mr. Lu, send someone to take some samples. Send it to the Songjiang government together with the memorial."

After a while, Yuan Zhixian wrote a memorial to the Jiajing Emperor, and signed it with Lu Li. After Lu Li sent someone to drive a carriage, they delivered some food samples to Songjiang Prefecture.

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

"This Yuan Dinghong is still playing with auspiciousness? So charming, doesn't he have the integrity of a scholar and a doctor?"

Ma Mingyuan was very tired when he looked at the utterly disgusting words of praise and flattery throughout the text.

Looking up at the black-clothed soldier who seemed to be presenting auspiciousness, Ma Mingyuan said again, "Lord Lu of your family, even though he has entered the military position, he is still a good candidate for auspiciousness.

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

Ma Mingyuan slapped the table and cursed angrily.

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

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

"Yo?"

Ma Mingyuan laughed angrily, "Okay! I want to see what tricks Lu Ziming and Yuan Dinghong are playing!"

Afterwards, Ma Mingyuan got up and went to Lujiazhuang all the way.

When he came to Lujiazhuang and saw the mountains of grain piled up on the rice drying field, Ma Mingyuan was a little stunned. Could it be...is it true?

So, Ma Mingyuan hurriedly asked Lu Li to take him to the farmland. He personally selected an acre of paddy fields, watched the farmer finish harvesting, and watched the weighing with his own eyes. The yield per mu... 1,600 catties.

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, and this is the greatest auspiciousness in history! Since then, there will be no famine for the people, and Daming's rivers and mountains will last 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 people 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 to 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 flatter the emperor, but there is no lower limit? A thousand kilograms of grain per mu? This is too nonsense, right?

Even Emperor Jiajing, who saw the auspicious memorial, laughed. Although Lao Tzu likes cultivating immortals, although Lao Tzu likes auspiciousness, do you think Lao Tzu is an idiot 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!"

Emperor Jiajing rarely spoke, "Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Ministry of Household, each sent a member out of the capital to see this auspiciousness!"

In accordance with the Jiajing decree, Dongchang, Jinyiwei and a head of the household, under the banner of imperial envoys, drove mightily to Songjiang Prefecture.

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

At this moment, Lu Li's autumn harvest work has long since ended, leaving only the hundred mu of farmland left by Zhu Jing's thousand households on purpose.

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 out. After several times, he finally confirmed that these fields had not been touched and were not transplanted crops from other places. .

The head of the household once again watched the harvest and the weighing with his own eyes, and the result...was even more frightening than what was on the playlist.

Seeing this output, the head of the household department burst into tears, "God bless Daming! God bless Daming!"

Wiping away his tears, the head of the household turned to look at Lu Li and said, "Lord Lu, this is the auspiciousness! This is the real auspiciousness! This official, Hai Rui, reports this to the saint, and the auspiciousness is not false. This is the greatest auspiciousness in history. !"

Uh? You... are you Hai Rui?

The honest official with the hardest bones and the strongest fighting power in the past, Hai Rui who scolded the emperor to death by saying "Jiajing, Jiajing, every family is exhausted"?

You are awesome!

Lu Li secretly praised 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.

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

What the hell! 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.

When Emperor Jiajing saw Hai Rui's performance, he immediately burst out laughing.

What happened to Laozi Xiuxian? 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 Rui was created by Lu Li? Are these high-yield crops made by Lu Li?

reward! Reward! Must be rewarded!
