Chapter 502 You Are Really Fantastic
The girl in Jinyang was a little excited. After arriving in Youzhou, she looked back and forth with the drawings of the Dafu ship several times.
This drawing was painted by Fang Jun for her, specifically the various appearances of the Dafu ship. Since it needs to be kept confidential, the original shape of the Dafu ship has not been leaked yet. Fang Jun's version is the most complete version.
The little girl looked at the tall and prosperous ship like a building, with a happy look on her face.
Before, they all rode flatbeds from Jiangnan to Youzhou. At that time, Fang Jun told her that he wanted to build a larger ship, but now the ship has been made, so she is naturally happy.
Having this boat means that they can ride the wind and waves in the future. She also wants to see how big the sea is?
In addition, the Dafu ship has not been named yet.
This is the first great blessing ship he built. If it is not done well, it can be recorded in history. It must be named well.
Fang Jun had already planned to name her, which made the girl quite happy.
"It looks so big, maybe I can really ride the wind and waves! Husband, is this the largest ship in the world?" Jinyang said with a smile.
Fang Jun shook his head: "You have never seen the largest one, and the largest one is not like this! The largest ship can carry thousands of people, or even tens of thousands of people!"
"Ah? Is there such a big ship?" Zhao Paner widened his beautiful eyes.
Fang Jun smiled and said, "Of course there is! But the Tang Dynasty doesn't! When the time is ripe in the future, we can build a bigger one!"
"If there is something bigger than this, it's really amazing! I don't know what kind of people can build such a ship!" Jinyang looked forward to it.
Fang Jun smiled and didn't say anything. He was still thinking about whether to continue doing it. After all, there are enough things he has done now. If he continues to do it, it will be very tiring. He doesn't think he is so tired.
In fact, Fang Jun has encountered a big problem now, that is, Li Shimin has asked him to go to court to assist in handling the government affairs.
If he wants to go to court, he will encounter big problems in the future. Fang Jun has never wanted to be so busy.
His situation now seems to be not as busy as he is, so he is considering whether to continue doing it. After all, if something is made, it may really change the current situation of the Tang Dynasty and the situation in the Central Plains.
He thought about it and thought about waiting for three or five years. If the situation became clear after three or five years, he might have the leisure time.
Li Shimin is in good health now, and there will be no major problems for the time being.
The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Li Shimin asked the eunuch to come and call Fang Jun and Jinyang to meet.
There are many steps to launch the Dafu ship. Li Shimin has to go to watch the ceremony, and it also involves the naming of the first Dafu ship.
Fang Jun didn't dare to stay, so he naturally went over and said his thoughts directly.
Just name it after Jinyang, it is called Mingda. Anyway, the craftsmen in Mingdatang of this ship have also put in a lot of effort, so it is most appropriate to use this name.
However, when Fang Jun said this name, Li Shimin suddenly became a little strange.
"Mingda No.?"
"Not bad! I've already thought about it! This name is very good and also very nice!" Fang Jun smiled and said, "In the future, Mingda will ride the wind and waves on the sea and never sink into decline, which also means that the Tang Dynasty can flourish!"
Li Shimin was happy, looked at them, and smiled and said, "Okay! Anyway, this boat was built by you! Let's let you couple make trouble! Let's go and see how big the boat is!"
"good!"
Everyone had been waiting for a long time, so they were naturally extremely excited and immediately left the factory terminal.
When everyone walked into the gate of the dock, they immediately saw many Tang Dynasty flags flying in the distance. The flag seemed to be stuck in the sky, and they needed to look up to see it.
Everyone was excited and without hesitation, and continued to walk a few steps inside, and sure enough, they saw a giant appear in front of them.
Now, Li Shimin, Jinyang and others were immediately shocked.
Before, they only saw the shape in the Tang Dynasty. Fang Jun also told them about the situation of the Great Blessed Boat. However, since they had never seen it, they did not know how big the Great Blessed Boat was. At this time, they almost suffocated.
The big lucky ship is indeed as tall as a building. From below, it may be seven or eight stories high, with huge sails on three sides inserted into the sky.
"This, is this the lucky ship?" someone said in surprise, with a look of surprise.
The person who speaks is Niu Jinda.
Fang Jun smiled and said, "Yes! This is the big lucky ship. In fact, this ship is still a bit small! It can be built even larger, but there is no need for this for the time being! Now this ship can be launched!"
"How can I get into the water for such a big boat?" Niu Jinda asked curiously.
"This is simple. Just wait for the craftsman to flush the water inside and then drag the boat down!" Fang Jun said.
"How can such a heavy boat be towed? How many people do you need?"
Fang Jun smiled and said, "There are not many people needed, fifty or sixty people are enough! If you can't drag it, you just don't know the principle of leverage!"
As he said that, he looked at Li Shimin and smiled, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come now. You only need a command to get Mingdahao to be launched!"
"Okay, okay! Fang Yiai, you really opened my eyes! Such a huge ship, you actually said to build it! But I was also curious in my heart, how can such a huge ship ride the wind and waves in the rivers and seas? Is it so bulky, really suitable for use?" Li Shimin said excitedly.
Fang Jun smiled and said, "Even if it is not used to transport soldiers or materials, it is a great benefit! Besides, although this big ship is bulky, it can move as long as there is wind! This is not a big deal!"
"Okay! Excellent! I'm not in a hurry to get into the water for the time being, let's go up and take a look first!" Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand: "Let's go with me to see how amazing this Mingda number is!"
Hearing him say this, the others couldn't help but be excited and responded: "Yes!"
Then follow Li Shimin onto the Dafu ship and check the construction of various parts inside.
There is a deck inside, a cabin and a cargo hold inside, which is divided into three parts, and the part on the ship has a single high. The second part is under the lower deck, which is divided into 30%.
The bottom part is the same.
Moreover, considering that there are more than 100 people inside, the soldiers still have a place to sleep alone, which can be said to be very large.
The more Li Shimin looked at him, the more satisfied he became. The more excited he looked at him, the more he became: "This is a unique work! No wonder he spent tens of thousands of yuan! With such a big ship, why worry about the rivers that cannot be flattened?"
Niu Jinda also smiled and said, "There are even red cannons installed here. Could it be that there is a need for naval battle?"
"If you meet it, you can naturally fight! There can be a lot of things inside!" Fang Jun smiled and said, "The reason for building this ship is because Mingdatang plans to go out to sea to explore the secrets! Only after having this ship can you measure how big the sea is!"
"Haha, Fang Yiai, you are really fantastic and always remember the sea!" Li Shimin immediately smiled and said, "But the most important thing for us now is not the sea, but let the people of the Tang Dynasty do something and make the people rich!"
When Fang Jun heard this, he couldn't help but nod.
