Datang: At the beginning, I wanted to rebel against my father-in-law

Chapter 255 How did it change?
"The Maritime Silk Road, which has just been developed, can be escorted by warships from the City of Steel in the future, which can also greatly increase security!"

"In this way, it can also bring more income to the imperial court. While solving the problem of Japanese pirates, it can also be regarded as an update of the warship!"

Su Feng's voice was very calm, but it fell clearly into the ears of everyone in the hall.

Especially those who are relatively familiar with sea transportation and warships, their mouths have already opened wide at this time, and their minds are running rapidly.

Have to admit.

What Su Feng said is very reasonable. If a warship made of steel, the combat power shown is really as powerful as he said.

That would not only solve the problem of Japanese pirates, but also ensure the safety of the Maritime Silk Road in the future. The benefits brought by these trades accounted for the vast majority of the imperial court's income today.

To know.

Now that the Maritime Silk Road has just been opened up, there are indeed many problems. Ordinary ships transporting goods have to worry about encountering bad weather at any time.

However, if you accidentally encounter strong winds and waves, there is a high chance that you will lose your money. This is also the difficulty of maritime trade. Before there is no solution, these are risks that must be taken.

but.

According to what Su Feng said, if all ships are replaced with steel, this risk can be greatly reduced. In other words, it is equivalent to increasing the income of the national treasury!
Hearing everyone's discussion, Li Shimin's mind was full of thoughts. This account is actually easy to calculate. He only needs to know how much it will cost to replace all the warships with steel.

Then compare it with the current pay, and you can easily draw conclusions.

then.

Su Feng, who was watching from the corner of his eyes, asked very seriously: "If all the wooden warships today are replaced with steel warships, how much money will each one cost?"

Following Li Shimin's words, the eyes of other people in the hall also focused on Su Feng.

"If you make a conservative estimate, it shouldn't be too much, probably around a few million taels!" Su Feng thought for a while and replied casually.

Everything he conceived was designed from a very macro perspective, and it was precisely because of this that this seemingly large sum of money was actually nothing in the eyes of Su Fang at this time.

after all.

The benefits brought by the Maritime Silk Road far exceed these!

Hearing the numbers revealed by Su Feng, Li Shimin was so hung up that he didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Good guy.

How can a warship with millions of silver be considered the same as cabbage on the roadside?
more importantly.

As long as this matter is carried out, more than one warship needs to be replaced, and the money required will also be an extremely large number.

Li Shimin worked hard for a long time to enrich the treasury to the point where it is now. Seeing that the situation has not been stable for two days, it will cost such a huge amount of money.

One can imagine his mood at the moment!

of course.

After getting this number, Li Shimin calculated the result in a short period of time, which was indeed compared with what Su Feng thought, the benefits brought by the Maritime Silk Road, and the long-term stability in the future.

Such a sacrifice is really nothing!
"Although it was a little unexpected, but for the sake of future stability and long-term planning, I had to do this..." Li Shimin sighed a long time, and said with a heartache.

This is all white money!
Seeing Li Shimin's heartache, his heart seemed to be bleeding, Su Feng couldn't help but swallowed the words behind him.

If Li Shimin knows now that more money will be needed for later expenses and maintenance, he still doesn't know what he will become.

The matter of replacing the steel warship was basically confirmed, and Li Shimin then discussed some details of dealing with the Japanese pirates with everyone.

These are not things that can be done in a short period of time, and of course a long-term plan is needed.

After retiring from the early court, Li Chengqian deliberately walked last. When he was in the Tai Chi Hall just now, he could clearly see Su Feng's hesitant to speak.

After following Su Feng for so many years, he already understood the other party's character and temper quite well.

There must be something wrong with it, and it is difficult for Su Feng to say it now. This is a major event related to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chengqian naturally attaches great importance to it.

therefore.

After staying for a while, he went straight to Su Feng's mansion...

……

in the lobby.

Su Feng just came back, before he had time to take a sip of water, he saw Li Chengqian's figure.

in fact.

As soon as he saw the other party, Su Feng already had a guess in his heart and knew what he wanted to do.

"It seems that His Royal Highness is also very concerned about the issue of warships!" Su Feng took a sip from the teacup on the table, looked at Li Chengqian meaningfully and said.

"When I was in the main hall, I could see that the prince was actually worried. Could it be that there is something wrong with this warship?" Li Chengqian looked at Su Feng directly and asked.

The relationship between them is already very familiar, and there is no need for those formalities.

and.

The transformation of the steel warship is related to the war against Japanese pirates and the operation of the Maritime Silk Road in the future. Li Chengqian naturally wants to know the real situation.

Almost when Li Chengqian raised this question, Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin who hurried over just happened to stand outside and heard these words.

in fact.

The two of them were also eager to discuss with Su Feng, and it was best for the Iron Warship to act immediately.

The matter of the Japanese pirates cannot be delayed. If it affects the Maritime Silk Road, it will have a far-reaching impact. The national treasury has finally regained some vitality, and there must be no more problems.

"It's not really a big problem. It does cost several million taels of silver to manufacture a steel warship, but that's just the cost of manufacturing!"

"There is a disadvantage of things made of steel, that is, they may rust after a long time. Whether it is a boiler or a key place, it needs careful maintenance every once in a while!"

"The cost of doing these things is not a small amount. I'm afraid it costs tens of thousands of taels of silver every year..." Su Feng said with a wry smile.

It was unavoidable, and there was nothing even he could do about it.

Only then did Li Chengqian understand, no wonder Su Feng was in that state in the hall.

The money that each warship needs to cost has already made the father a little unbearable. If he knows that the follow-up maintenance will cost so much money, God knows what will happen next.

Before Li Chengqian could speak, footsteps were heard outside the lobby. Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin hurried in, with strange expressions on their faces...
