Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 192 Selection of the Navy
Chapter 192 Navy Selection
When the Cui family leader said this, he naturally received a speechless expression from his son.

"Father, no matter how cruel that thing is, it is only made by man!"

"My son has asked someone to check it. The artillery is indeed made by craftsmen!"

"Although those craftsmen are heavily protected and cannot be looted! But as long as they are man-made, they can be cracked!"

"You don't have to worry, if Qin Yang can find a good craftsman, so can we!"

"Not only can we, we can find better artisans!"

What the son said gave Patriarch Cui confidence.

Yes, if it is a magic weapon, it should be impossible for ordinary people to make it!

How can something that can be made by humans be regarded as magic tools of gods?

It seems that he is really scaring himself!
"You are right! Then, what should we do next?"

Patriarch Cui asked helplessly.

The middle-aged man replied: "Father, according to my son, we should not intervene in this matter."

"The matter of the water bandits before was almost caught by Zhang Yunji's people!"

"Fortunately, my son had planted someone beside Zhang Yunji early on. Although he was not a confidant, he could do some tricks. That's why the three captured water bandits died suddenly."

"The next time, it may not be so smooth."

"Anyway, Qin Yang has already confronted the water bandits. We just need to wait quietly, and we will see that both of them will suffer! When the time comes..."

Cui Patriarch stroked his beard and answered: "At that time, we will be able to make a profit!"

After the father and son looked at each other, they laughed.

The county seat, the royal palace of Youzhou.

After getting one hundred thousand tomato seeds, Qin Yang's heart was beating wildly wanting to eat tomatoes.

He directly opened up about an acre of land in the backyard of Youzhou Palace to grow tomatoes.

But that doesn't take much seed at all.

He sent some of the remaining seeds to the farm for people to plant on the farm.

The other seeds were given to Zhang Yunji, some to Princess Changle, and some to the magistrates of the four counties.

Tomatoes are very easy to grow in this season, and you don’t even need to choose a place to grow them. You just need to set up a shelf in front of the house and let the tomato seedlings climb, and water them from time to time. They don’t need much care, and they will grow strong growing up.

After Princess Changle received a large bag of tomato seeds, she was both surprised and surprised.

"Tomato...that's the name, right? It's a weird name. Is it really as delicious as you say?"

Qin Yang said confidently: "Naturally, if you bring these seeds back to Chang'an and plant them in Chang'an, it will take up to [-] days, and you can eat tomatoes in summer."

Being able to eat the fruit in such a short time, and according to Qin Yang, it is very sweet and delicious, is indeed a big temptation for a girl.

Qin Yang also gave Princess Changle a few cooking recipes about tomatoes that he had written.

"If it's ripe by then, you can follow these recipes and have the imperial chef cook them. Also, tomatoes can also be eaten chilled. However, eating too much chilled food is not good. If you want to cool down, you can just Use well water to quench it, cut it into small pieces, poke it and eat it."

Princess Changle listened carefully and nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, a wharf is going to be built on the river bank next to the county town recently, can I go and have a look?"

Princess Changle asked curiously.

After asking, I suddenly recalled my previous distress, and hurriedly said: "No, let's forget it."

"What is it? Don't you want to go? I will take you there tomorrow." Qin Yang said immediately.

"But in case..."

"What happened last time was not aimed at you, but at me. You don't need to have any psychological burden, you just need to play well in Youzhou."

Qin Yang's comfort made Princess Changle feel a little better.

A few days later, after breakfast, Qin Yang took Princess Changle to the pier.

But when they passed by, they didn't see the establishment of the pier. Instead, they saw thousands of people signing up.

"Is this a job application?" Princess Changle asked curiously as she lifted the curtain of the car and glanced outside.

Qin Yang shook his head and said, "No, these people are here to register for the Navy."

"Navy?"

Princess Changle was surprised: "There are so many people who are familiar with water in the North?"

"Maybe not that many, maybe someone wants to try their luck?" Qin Yang replied, touching his chin.

As Qin Yang expected, all the applicants were asked to swim in the river.

Those who can swim ashore safely will be initially admitted.

Landlubbers who were unable to swim safely were picked up by rescuers who had been prepared nearby, scolded and asked to leave.

It was discovered that there was still such a screening, and out of the thousand people who gathered around, more than 300 left immediately.

There are still about 700 people left, and after preliminary screening, [-] people are initially selected.

"In the end, only 500 people will be left." Qin Yang was also looking over there, explaining softly.

"Soldier selection is expensive, not expensive."

No matter how many people there are, what's the use if it's a mob?

Besides, he is only initially forming a navy.

At that time, ten official ships will be deployed, with fifty sailors on each ship.

Even though there are few boats and few people, as long as the boats are strong and the guns are strong, ten boats are enough to wipe out the small boat bandits of this era!
Just look at the cannons on the previous cruise ship, which overturned all the water bandits who invaded. It can be seen that the cannons on this ship are terrifying!
As someone who witnessed that scene with her own eyes, Princess Changle firmly believed in Qin Yang's decision.

This kind of selection was originally a boring scene.

But Princess Changle watched with relish.

"What are they going to do?" It was found that the 700 people who had been selected were being led to walk not far away.

Qin Yang replied: "They have enlisted in the army now, and they will start building their camp today."

“Construction of the pier here will not begin until the camp is completed.”

After all, he knew the importance of the pier, and so did the water bandits.

Maybe when, those water bandits will come again.

There are water troops stationed here, which is a deterrent to those water bandits.

Of course, ten ships are easy to find, but it takes time to repair the ships.

Cannons with blueprints are actually pretty easy to build. After all, the cannons he built are all the most basic ones.

When he first made the grenade, he had already scraped together a lot of parts.

So all that is needed now is temporary assembly.

The artillery itself was handed over to a few craftsmen in his confidantes. These craftsmen, who were said to be craftsmen, were actually members of his guards.

It's just that after the number of guards gradually increased, Qin Yang divided them into several different guards.

There is a special escort team responsible for protecting him, that is, the bodyguards.

There is a small team responsible for the logistics supply of the escort, that is, the logistics team.

There is also a craftsman team responsible for the manufacture of his personal and important items. These people are all trained by Qin Yang according to the standards of scientific researchers.

Although he is working as a craftsman, the salary of the leader is very high, and he is not a craftsman, and the leader is an eighth-rank general.
