Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 218 Huge Ship
Zhao Dezhao easily eliminated the estrangement between him and his two cousins, and incidentally turned them into his fans.

I thought that even if King Jin was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that several of his sons might become diehards in King Qi's camp.

The conversation with the two brothers Zhao Deming and Zhao Dechang also triggered Zhao Dezhao's urge to complete his plan as soon as possible.

After dinner, a rare visitor came to the home of Ren Zhizhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

"Your Highness! I am really flattered that you can visit in person!"

Ren Zhizhong really didn't expect that His Royal Highness Qi Wang, who is very popular in the court, would come to the door in person.

As the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of Industry, Ren Zhizhong is still considered a neutral faction. He neither chooses sides with King Jin nor King Qi.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the leaders of the two factions to come to win them over in person.

Not long ago, Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi personally visited Ren Zhizhong, saying that he came to visit Ren Zhizhong, but his real intention was naturally to lure him into the gang.

But now King Qi is on the rise more than King Jin, so Ren Zhizhong said he was obedient, but he didn't make any substantive move to seek refuge in his actions.

This time King Qi came to visit, presumably for the same purpose as King Jin.

Unexpectedly, it was an accident that Zhao Dezhao was appointed as Zhizhong.

After a few words of politeness, Zhao Dezhao put forward a request straight to the point, but it was not for Ren Zhizhong to join his camp, but for the Ministry of Industry to start building a ship immediately.big ship!Huge ship!

"My lord! Last night, I dreamed that auspicious signs appeared, and a god led me to the coast of the Southern Han Dynasty, a land in the extreme south! There is a vast land to the west, and there is no powerful master now."

"There are also rich products there, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, these are the treasures that the common people can eat! Not only are they delicious, the yield is high, and they can be planted in any region from north to south. Ren Shangshu, I ask you to make me today A big ship."

"You can ask a craftsman to come to me, and I'll help him make plans and come up with ideas. This boat must be very large, and it needs to be made of [-] materials..."

Ren Zhizhong felt dizzy when he heard this, and almost lost his breath.

What happened to King Qi, was he beaten with chicken blood or ate something?
As soon as I entered the door, before my butt could sit still, I told some Arabian Nights stories, and then I asked the Ministry of Industry to build a big ship.

[-] materials?How to build a big ship with [-] materials, and where to use it?

At present, the Ministry of Industry has built the largest ship, and it is only [-] materials.

As far as the waters here in Tokyo are concerned, the largest shipyard may not be able to accommodate huge ships.

"You don't have to look at me like this!" Zhao Dezhao said, "What I asked you to build is a sea boat! A giant ship that can go to the vast ocean, not a toy boat like Xiaojiang Xiaohe. I will help you with the blueprint, but you have to hurry up Time made it."

Zhao Dezhao pinched his fingers and counted the time, "Up to three months! You are limited to three months to build this ship, and I will definitely reward you when it is completed!"

After speaking, Zhao Dezhao got up and left.

Ren Shangshu, who was still in a daze, was left.

What is this!Ten thousand material big ship!If it is in Luoshui, Bianhe, even if there is such a huge dock, how can I transport it to the seaside for you?

In some parts of the river, I am afraid that the hull of the giant ship will not be submerged.

Could it be that King Qi wants to force me to King Jin's side because I don't have a camp yet?

Ren Zhizhong didn't sleep well all night, and the next day was the court meeting day.

The red-eyed Ren Zhizhong hurried up, weeping bitterly and kneeling on the hall,

"Your Majesty, let me be the master! Your Highness King Qi's request, I really can't do it!"

……

Everyone was shocked for a while.

What did King Qi ask the Ministry of Industry for?Force Ren Shangshu to cry in court!

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Zhao Dezhao, "Ren Shangshu, get up first, what happened to King Qi? What do you want to do! If it doesn't make sense, I'll make the decision for you!"

This is what I said and heard.If he doesn't make sense, I'll make the decision for you, but if he makes sense, I'll make the decision for him.

Of course Ren Zhizhong could hear it, so he repeated what Zhao Dezhao asked when he came to the door last night.

The whole room was shocked again.

Ren Zhizhong thought to himself, you should listen to who doesn't make sense, and who you want to make the decision for!

The more Zhao Kuangyin heard, the darker his face became, "De Zhao! Tell me, what kind of trouble is this!"

Zhao Dezhao smiled apologetically and said, "Your Majesty! It's not a moth. The dream language is indeed a joke, but the existence of Nanyang, as well as those customs and customs, are all real."

"When I regained the Southern Han Dynasty, most of my subordinates had Nanyang soldiers. What I said is basically the same. Moreover, I have tasted those Nanyang specialties. The taste is good! The yield is high, and the cultivation is regardless of the north and the south."

Having said this, Zhao Dezhao's voice couldn't help becoming louder, "Your Majesty! If you can get back these seeds, it will surely make my Song Dynasty prosperous for thousands of years! Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Kuangyin raised his thick eyebrows, thought and thought, based on what his son had done before, he naturally wouldn't doubt what he said at all.

but……

"Even if what you said is true, I have never built a huge ship of [-] materials. Bianhe and Luoshui cannot accommodate a dock of this size."

"Your Majesty! This is a sea ship for sailing. Naturally, it must be built by the sea. No one has ever built a ship of [-] materials. I can draw a blueprint. These are the blueprints privately given to me by a stranger from Nanyang at that time."

"If you think it's unreliable, I can build this ship at my own expense, and I'll find the right person to go to sea. If it doesn't work out in the end, it's just as if I played it myself, and the court has no loss."

What Zhao Dezhao said is not great, just the opposite.

At my own expense, I produced the blueprints, and I found someone to find out the real continent, and bring back high-yielding grain seeds that can be used for thousands of years.

Then the imperial court is too embarrassed to snatch this credit. Didn’t I, Zhao Dezhao, become an eternal saint because of this!The prince is even more petty.

Zhao Kuangyin also thought of this, but he was not as sure as Zhao Dezhao.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Kuangyin called out Wang Longde, the commander of the navy, "Is the theory of Nanyang false?"

"Return to Your Majesty! According to what I know, it is not false. The coast of the Southern Han Dynasty, the southern ocean, is the Nanyang Sea. I have traveled thousands of miles west from the coast of the Southern Han Dynasty, and I have indeed seen the vast and incomparable coastline of the mainland. It can be confirmed that there is another continent.”

Huang Yuanyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, snorted, "Have you ever landed?"

"If the wind hadn't changed that day, I would have almost landed. Nanyang is indeed happening!"

Wang Longde was firm.

Zhao Kuangyin's heart also completely relaxed.

Why don't you let Dezhao try it, if it succeeds, it will be his eternal merit, if it fails, it will not be paid by the imperial court, and those officials and officials will not be able to speak nonsense.

As long as Dezhao can guarantee safety and no accidents, this matter can be given a try.
