Chapter 230: Public loss of revenge, shipbuilding,
Inside the royal study.
An old man wearing a purple brocade robe with a smooth and pointed head stood in front of Qin Wei with a flattering smile on his face.
Qin Wei looked the old man up and down, his eyes falling on his left arm.
It was not a human arm, but a black iron hand, and his feet. Although the robe covered his legs and feet, a bit of cold metallic luster was still exposed.
The public loses his revenge!
From Mingyue in the Qin Dynasty, he was the leader of the domineering mechanism art. He was good at making various mechanism items, such as mechanism snakes, Potu Qilang, Potu Sanlang, mechanism crossbows, mirages, etc.
In the Mingyue of the Qin Dynasty, there is a song: "The Mohist organs are walking on wood and stone, and the bronze is opening. Ask Gongshu." Gongshu's overbearing mechanism skills are completely different from the Mohist non-offensive mechanism skills.
Mohist's non-offensive tactics have always been based on the principle of non-attack and love, opposing war and defending peace. However, once the overbearing tactics of Gongshuqi are involved, it means war.
Gong Shuqiu is definitely a talent, a talent that is very useful to Dali. He is also the person Qin Wei needs the most right now.
His overbearing mechanism technique can improve Dali's crossbow, create a large number of mechanism beasts, and more importantly, he can create mirages.
The Mirage is a large ship built by Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng in order to obtain the elixir of immortality.
The mirage ship is composed of large and small pavilions, which are mainly in red and gold tones. The bow of the ship is similar to the pattern of a dragon boat's head, and there are different numbers of oars under the hull to ensure that the mirage stays on the sea.
It operates normally, and the secret passage above the oars is the secretly dormant organ bird of the Gongshu family. Once a foreign enemy invades, it will immediately fly out of the secret passage to look for the intruder.
The interior of the mirage is mainly composed of Yunxiao Pavilion, the secret room of Yunxiao Pavilion, the alchemy room, the Zibei Water Pavilion, the Toad Palace, the Sakura Prison and other scenes. This shows how huge the mirage is.
However, the Yin Yang family seemed to be involved in the construction of the mirage. I don’t know if Gong Shuqiu alone could create a mirage.
In fact, Qin Wei did not need to create mirages. In his opinion, mirages were somewhat flashy.
Being too big is not necessarily a good thing. He hopes that Gong Shuqiu can use his overbearing mechanical skills to design a large ship that suits the current situation of Dali.
Practical, safe, and relatively cheap.
What Qin Wei built was not just one ship, but a huge voyage navy, at least hundreds of ships, so he had to try his best to control the cost.
Thinking of this, Qin Wei asked: "Dali's navy needs a ship with faster speed and stronger combat effectiveness. I wonder if Mr. Gongshu might design it."
Gong Shuqiu's back was slightly stooped, and he said with a flattering smile: "As long as Your Majesty needs it, I can design it."
Qin Wei didn't think Gong Shuqiu was bragging. With Gong Shuqiu's overbearing machine skills, it shouldn't be difficult to build some maritime warships.
He thought for a moment and said: "In that case, I will appoint you as the doctor of the Shipbuilding Department of the Ministry of Industry to oversee shipbuilding matters."
In the past, the Ministry of Industry did not have a shipbuilding department, only one shipyard, and the person in charge of the shipyard was just a sixth-grade chief executive.
It doesn't matter, Qin Wei can just build one. When the time comes, he will select craftsmen from the yellow list of the Ministry of Industry and establish a sea-going ship manufacturing center in Dali based on the Qinghanjiang Shipyard.
However, in order to make it easier for Gongshu Qiu to act, Qin Wei said to Xiao Shunzi: "Give Gongshu Aiqing a golden dragon order."
The Golden Dragon Order is a token that represents his identity, as if I were here in person.
With this token, no one would dare to cause trouble for Gong Shuqiu, and no one would dare to treat Gongshu Qiu lightly.
"I thank your Majesty for the reward!" Gong Shuqiu bowed with excitement and thanked him.
Qin Wei nodded slightly and said: "I will give you two years to build a hundred large ships for me. You can go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for the necessary money. If the Ministry of Household Affairs does not have it, you can come to me and the required craftsmen can go to work.
If the Ministry of Industry and Engineering is insufficient, you can recruit from the private sector. In short, no matter what method you use, we must build a hundred large ships within two years."
It takes two years to build the ship and one year for the navy to train. In fact, the training can be carried out in advance, but in order to ensure the safety of navigation, Qin Wei is willing to wait one more year.
Going on a long voyage to the sea is not an easy task. The Dali Navy is good at offshore, but it does not have enough experience in deep sea voyages, so Qin Wei hopes that they can gain experience in long voyages in these three years.
At the same time, the navy also needs to expand its army. From now on, Dali's main focus will be on the southeastern islands and the Qiongtian Sea. It is imperative for the navy to expand its army.
"I wonder how big a ship your Majesty wants?" Gong Shuqiu asked somewhat sarcastically.
Although he is confident, he is also afraid that the ship Qin Wei needs is too big. If the ship is too big, the manufacturing speed may not be able to increase it.
Qin Wei handed him the folder on the desk and said, "It won't be smaller than the big fortune ship here."
Gongshu Qiu opened the book and took a look at it. He immediately smiled and his previous worries disappeared without a trace.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations."
"Um!"
Qin Wei nodded and said, "You go down and do your work first."
Gongshu Qiu bowed and was about to leave. Qin Wei remembered another thing and said, "Wait a minute."
After saying that, under Gong Shuchou's hesitant gaze, Qin Wei stood up and walked to him, putting his hand on his shoulder.
Suddenly a stream of pure energy was poured into Gong Shuqiu's body.
The refreshing experience almost made Gong Shouqiu moan. Perhaps it was because he was afraid of losing his composure in front of Qin Wei, so he suppressed the feeling of comfort in his heart.
Gong Shuqiu has no cultivation, but it took four thousand energy to transform him. This amount is not too much, but it is not too little either.
The energy of four thousand forces is enough to transform a ninth-grade warrior.
After the Yitian chessboard is upgraded, special abilities also need to consume energy.
If Qin Wei summons Wang Shouren now, he may consume even more energy.
But now, for Qin Wei, four thousand energy is really not much, it only takes a few days.
In line with the principle of saving what he can, Qin Wei did not consume his energy to improve Gong Shuqiu's cultivation, but directly instilled his true energy into him.
Nowadays, Qin Wei's research on Wanfa Baking Furnace has been very profound. He no longer needs to absorb and instill it into others like before. He can completely instill the true essence in his body directly into others.
However, the true energy in his body is limited, and if it is given to others, it needs to be replenished.
It was very simple for him to just upgrade Gong Shuqiu's cultivation level to the ninth level.
In just a few breaths, Gong Shouqiu's cultivation had already reached the ninth level. However, Qin Wei's body had only consumed less than half of his true energy.
"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty!" Gong Shuqiu thanked him again.
Qin Wei nodded and asked him to retreat.
The reason why Gongshuqiu's cultivation level should be improved is not that Gongshuqiu needs to fight, but that the higher the cultivation level, the better his physical strength, the more energetic he is, and the higher the efficiency of Gongshuqiu's work.
As a special talent, Qin Wei naturally hopes that he can display greater abilities.
In the following days, Gongshu Chou rushed between various government offices, asking for people and money.
Holding the Golden Dragon Order given by Emperor Qin Wei, no one in the ministries and yamen dared to stop him, but some people were still very dissatisfied with him.
This is true for the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army.
no way.
Gongshuqiu is what they call robbing people and robbing money.
This old man was ruthless enough. He directly asked for three million taels of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs and took away most of the skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Works. He also took away many craftsmen who were good at making ordnance from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
This made all the civil and military ministers very dissatisfied and complained to Qin Wei.
Qin Wei had no choice in this matter. Gongshuqiu did this under his instructions, and the task he gave Gongshuqiu was not easy. If he could not fully support it, it would be very difficult for Gongshuqiu to do it.
But the officials in various ministries and yamen are not wrong. They are not doing nothing, especially the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. They are all scarce talents. So many people were taken away by Gongshu Qiu at once, and they were responsible for a lot.
Everything was delayed.
Qin Wei had no choice but to use money to solve the problem.
He took out the one million taels of gold brought back by the Qi Dynasty and threw them to various ministries and yamen. Those who were short of money could be supplemented, and those who were short of people were recruited from the private sector.
Experts are among the people. As long as you have money, it shouldn't be difficult to recruit skilled craftsmen from the people.
In this way, the complaints of all the civil and military ministers were eliminated.
Gongshu Qiu was very efficient in his work. In just a few days, he handed the design drawings of the battleship to Qin Wei.
It is not a design drawing of one kind of battleship, but a design drawing of three kinds of battleships.
These include large fuchuan, medium-sized fighting ships, and small red horse boats.
The large Fuchuan can be used as the main warship of the navy. It is sixty feet long and eighteen feet wide. It has three floors and five floors. It is equipped with one hundred and twenty large crossbows. The bottom of the cabin is designed as a machine beast.
In the storage room, according to Gong Shuqiu's idea, the bottom cabin can be equipped with a kind of mechanical beast that can dive, and the top floor of the ship can be equipped with a dozen mechanical birds.
Such a design is simply armed to the teeth, and its combat effectiveness can be imagined.
The medium-sized battleship does not have many tricks, it is only sixteen feet long and three feet wide. It is not equipped with weapons such as crossbows, and there are no mechanical beasts. It is mainly prepared for transporting troops, landing, and joining gang battles.
Finally, there is the Red Horse Boat. The Red Horse Boat is not so much a boat as a machine beast that can fight on the water. It is extremely fast and only requires two people to drive it. It has two machine arms on the left and right.
You can also attack by dragging heavy objects. It looks like a big scorpion.
Each of the three types of warships has its own uses, and when combined with the corresponding machine beasts, their combat effectiveness is absolutely terrifying.
Qin Wei just took one look and approved Gong Shuqiu's plan.
He doesn't understand this thing, and he can't understand it even if he looks at it, so he can only do everything according to the idea of public losing hatred.
In fact, he didn't have any ideas, such as making artillery and using artillery to replace crossbows.
But unfortunately, it seems difficult to achieve things like artillery in this world.
As early as when he was in Shuzhou, he asked others to study gunpowder. Gunpowder was researched, but the power was too weak. It was okay to make firecrackers, but it was impossible to use it in firearms.
Qin Wei tried to transform a chess piece who was good at making firearms, but the response from Yitian Chessboard was that it would cost 30 million Qi, which scared Qin Wei to death.
Thirty million powerful energy!
What a joke!
If he had 30 million powerful people, he would still be able to make crappy firearms.
In this regard, Qin Wei estimated that the rules of the world were not suitable.
Although Yitian Chessboard is powerful, the skills and abilities of the transformed chess characters need to adapt to the rules of this world.
Gunpowder and firearms probably don't fit the rules of this world, so the energy required to consume them is so huge.
In the end, Qin Wei could only give up the idea of manufacturing gunpowder and firearms, and put his expectations for technological development on Gong Shuqiu.
The technology of the previous life cannot adapt to this world, but the mechanism technique of Gongshuqiu can adapt.
If the machine technique is developed, it will not necessarily be weaker than the technology of the previous life.
Originally, the mechanism technique of public defeating enemies was not in line with common sense, but now the mechanism technique here is the most reasonable, but the so-called technology is not in line with common sense.
This is probably the difference in the rules of the world.
After receiving Qin Wei's approval, Gong Shuqiu immediately started work.
He first went to the shipyard in Qinghanjiang and started to build a battlefield, and then made some preparations to go to the coastal area of Jiangzhou.
He wanted to build a hundred large ships, and the shipyard on the Qinghan River alone was definitely not enough. Moreover, the Qinghan River was just a river after all, and many things were inconvenient, so he had to find a more suitable place to build a shipyard.
Just when Gongshu Chou was heading to Jiangzhou, Dongfang Pavilion and Dongfang Mingqing brought hundreds of warriors along the Qinghan River to Tianzhou.
Their Dafu ship could not enter the Qinghan River, so they had to purchase three ships in Linhai Prefecture that were suitable for sailing in the Qinghan River.
After arriving in Tianzhou, they did not stay too much, but went directly north to Kyoto.
