"We were ordered by the British Empire to come here to steal steam engines and naval gun manufacturing crafts." The three Ming people were the first to put down.

"Slander, this is completely slander. They are smart people, this is framed, framed." Rupert jumped up on the spot to refute.

"Oh? Really? You British really don't need these technologies?" Zhu Youjian mocked.

"No, no need at all. We have our own steam engine technology, and the cannons of the British Empire are also very advanced." Rupert nodded quickly.

"Since this is the case, it would be a waste of my efforts. I originally wanted to sell these technologies to you, but you don't need them, so forget it." Zhu Youjian said.

"Wait, we need it, we need it very much." Before Rupert could speak, the two foreign prisoners rushed to answer.

"" Rupert wanted to rush to answer, but after listening to the other two people's rush to answer, he has completely reacted.

They are really two pig teammates, with a good hole card, all exposed to the opponent.

"According to the rules of you British people, you need to pay a certain fee to introduce your technology. Is that right?" Zhu Youjian asked warmly.

Britain's patented technology protection began in the 13th century, which is indeed much better than that of Ming Dynasty.

"Your majesty the wise emperor, I admire your knowledge of our British Empire. That's exactly the case." Rupert replied.

"Okay then, let Prince Rupert take a look. This is the technical information on steam engines and new artillery. We can calculate the technology transfer fee on the spot." Zhu Youjian raised his hand, and Zhu Cihong personally pushed one Small push over.

"My God, all of these?" Rupert was secretly happy just now, but his face turned pale in a blink of an eye.

He saw that the certificates that were slowly rolled out were all related to patents.Originally, he thought that the steam engine was just a technology, but who knew that the cunning Daming split the steam engine, and every small change in it was a patent.But you can't find a fault with it yet.

"These are all good things. Every invention is more advanced than your British. With these things, your British will become the number one power in Europe." Zhu Cihong deliberately showed off beside Rupert.

"Settling the score!" Rupert's heart broke, and he wanted to know what kind of high price Daming was asking.

"Okay!" Zhu Cihong happily jumped away.

"No more, no less, the total price is equivalent to 1000 million pounds." Zhu Youjian was also straightforward, and directly stretched out a finger.

"Blackmail, you guys are blackmailing." Rupert jumped up and said.1000 million pounds at this time is really not a small amount of money.

"Mr. Rupert, let's clarify. Even if you don't return the East Coast, won't the Great Su Kingdom be taken back? We are allies, and you should have taken the initiative to give up the East Coast. But how do you do it?" What about?

Don't you really think that I don't know your intentions, don't you just want to use the card of the East Coast region to get some benefits from Daming?Daming is a country of civility and etiquette, I just don't want to fall out with you.If you insist on being unreasonable, then Daming will no longer meddle in European affairs. "

Zhu Youjian said something heartily, and slapped the British man hard in the face.The British may also have learned the shipbuilding technology of Ming Dynasty now, but their shipbuilding capacity cannot keep up with consumption.This is the critical time for the third war between Britain and the Netherlands. They urgently need to replenish their warships, and they cannot lose the powerful backup of Ming Dynasty.

"In this case, let's make a deal. But I still want to continue talking about the purchase of warships." Rupert saw that his hole card was revealed, and he could not find any benefits, so he could only agree to this deal.

In this negotiation, Daming established the legal rights of the Great Su Kingdom to the entire North American region, and only maintained disputes with the Spaniards; at the same time, he also provided the technology of the steam engine and the wedge-type breech-loading smoothbore gun to the United Kingdom. The cost of purchasing land on the east coast of North America.In addition, Ming Dynasty will sell [-] second-hand warships to the UK, and requires delivery within half a year.

7 Fifty Chapters: Great Master

Eighty battleships, is Zhu Youjian crazy?Even if it is second-hand, it is tantamount to selling one-third of the warships of the Ming Dynasty Navy to the Europeans. If the Europeans call immediately, wouldn't it be over?

After the British left, Zhu Cihong immediately raised questions.

"Father, my son feels that the British have no good intentions in this deal."

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but gave the prince a thumbs up and said, "When you grow up, do you see the problem?"

"Yes. The British seem to be helping the Spaniards. Aren't they enemies?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Enemies can also become friends, and friends can also become enemies. Things are impermanent! In fact, the British have signed a settlement agreement with the Spaniards, and with the assistance of my Ming Dynasty, the British are doing their best to deal with the Dutch. This third In the second Anglo-Dutch war, I am afraid that the Dutch will suffer. The Spaniards may have anticipated our threat." Zhu Youjian sighed.

History is always traceable, and it was the British who robbed the Dutch of their trade and reached a settlement with the Spaniards, which promoted the great development of the first industrial revolution under the condition of having a market.But this time, Daming must have been the bargaining chip in the deal between the British and the Spaniards.

"Father, you mean that the Spaniards want to disrupt my Ming's position?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"I'm afraid that's the case. Eighty battleships will take at least five years at the normal construction speed. The Spaniards just want to use these five years to arrange strategic deployments to stop our Ming Dynasty." Zhu Youjian said.

"Then what should we do?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Don't you like doing things very much? I sent you to the Panama Canal construction site as a technician. Do you dare to go?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"Dare!" Thinking about his first trip overseas, Zhu Cihong was still a little worried, but he decided to go out and have a look.

This is a grand and solemn funeral.

So solemn that the emperor of Ming Dynasty abandoned the dragon robe and came in plain clothes to carry the coffin of the deceased to see him off.Who is worthy of such a high standard of treatment, he is the great craftsman of the Ming Dynasty——Song Yingxing.

Although Zhu Youjian really wanted to keep this giant who had promoted the development of Daming's science and technology for a few more years, it was a pity that there was no life left. Song Yingxing had been plagued by illness in the past few years and had run out of oil lamps.

"To our beloved teacher, a bow"

The master of ceremonies at today's funeral is Fang Yizhi. Strictly speaking, Fang Yizhi is not a scientist, but at most a high-ranking official who organizes scientific work.But Song Yingxing was indeed a senior scientist who was born and bred in Daming.There had never been a craftsman in Ming Dynasty who had received such treatment, so Song Yingxing's funeral attracted people from all over Nanjing to come to express their condolences.

"China is crying, Kyushu is sympathetic, a giant left Daming like this. I am heartbroken, and wish I could exchange myself for a prince." The emperor's eulogy is very touching. Contributors.

What contribution did Song Yingxing make?Many people are actually very vague.However, the Daming Daily published related reports for several days in a row, and finally let the common people know what this man had done for Daming.

It was this person who increased Daming's steel production from 5 tons per year to 300 million tons per year, a 60-fold increase. 300 million tons, equivalent to the level of steel production in 1955 in another time and space.There is no doubt that this figure will continue to grow, and new steelmaking plants will be established.

It was this person who made the common people of Ming Dynasty inexhaustible ironware.From pots and pans to the steel bars used to build houses, previously precious pieces of iron are now littered everywhere.What's more, Daming's new large iron ship is under construction.

It is this person who leads this group of apprentices to fight on the front line of science and technology, playing a leading role in the development of technology in all walks of life.

Zhu Youjian was delivering a eulogy for Song Yingxing from the bottom of his heart, and it was definitely not hypocrisy.This era needs a benchmark, but it is not the kind of trivial "moral hero", but a big man who has made real contributions to Ming Dynasty.

For thousands of years in China, there has never been a shortage of models, and every dynasty is erecting various models.And many typical examples have been turned into idioms, such as: Lying on the ice and begging for a carp, Kong Rong giving a pear, chiseling a wall to borrow light, and so on.

These moral stories are very touching at first hearing, but there are problems when you think about it carefully.The promotion system of the Han Dynasty was to promote filial piety and honesty. Because they were afraid that their sons would not be filial, they tried their best to talk about filial piety.But the real filial piety education is actually the elders setting an example to show the younger generation, rather than asking the younger generation how to be so filial.

Ju Xiaolian led to a lot of deformed stories. One of them was about a man who was old and young. The family was starving to death. He actually killed his own son and cooked meat for his father.And this matter was also praised by the court.It's so confusing.

Look at Kong Rong Rangli again, he is just like the behind-the-scenes pusher of the Kong family, with the same intentions as the Internet celebrity pusher.

Daming doesn't need this kind of moral flattery, and he doesn't like to set up those moral models, such as how many old people he rescued, how many orphans he adopted, how many good deeds he did, and how many stray dogs he even rescued.Are these not basic qualities?When is it time to advertise?

What really needs to be publicized are inventors, scientists, and educators who have made great contributions to the entire Ming Dynasty.How much productivity they have developed, how many technologies they have improved, and how many talents they have educated are called models.

A deformed model can only lead to some deformed thoughts, and some people will be almost crazy in order to be a model.Just like many Internet celebrities, there is no bottom line in order to be popular.

After sending away Song Yingxing, Zhu Youjian came to Baguazhou Shipyard again.Compared with before, this place is extremely busy. There are dry goods workers everywhere, clanging sounds, sparks flying, and machinery roaring.

"How long will it take to get into the water?" Zhu Youjian stood on the podium, and a steel monster appeared in front of him.

"Please rest assured, your majesty, we have dispatched [-] technicians from various shipyards across the country, and they are working on three shifts to catch up with the construction progress. We will launch the water trial next month at the latest." The chief engineer in charge of the project replied.

"Now tell me directly how long it will take to build such a warship. How many shipyards in the country can build it?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"Returning to the emperor, it will take a year and a half at the earliest to build this kind of iron ship. There are three shipyards in the country that can build it. The annual production capacity is five ships at the same time." Zhou Quanbin replied.
