Chapter 603 Arrive in Tangshan
After dinner at the Danfang, Zhang Hao and King Yu were about to go out. Jiajing said at this moment: "Wait, the weather is warm, I will go out for a walk, go, go out together!"
"Yes!" Zhang Hao immediately bowed his hand and said, soon, King Yu helped Jiajing out of the alchemy room and walked outside the palace gate.
"You have to listen to your barbarian brother. Follow him. His martial arts are pretty good. There is no problem protecting you, barbarian!" Jiajing said and called Zhang Hao.
"Here!" Zhang Hao said immediately behind.
"There is something that King Yu has disobedient. If you should clean up, you should clean up. If you should beat him, you should scold him. Especially when he is going to a dangerous place, if you say he doesn't listen, you will tie him up!" Jiajing explained to Zhang Hao.
"I understand!" Zhang Hao nodded immediately and said.
"Father, don't worry, my son will not do anything random!" King Yu immediately said to Jiajing.
"Well, I know you won't do anything randomly, but I still have to remind you that someone will take your life outside, but hiding in the palace is not completely safe. It's better to go outside and see more!" Jiajing said to King Yu as he walked.
"I understand, Father, my son will definitely look at it with care!" King Yu immediately said to Jiajing.
"Well, my father is old, old, and you are still young, so you still need to learn more about the sufferings of the people. Your elder brother probably won't be able to hold on for that long. If you get bad news from your elder brother, you will come back if you can. If you can't come back, then don't come back, hey!" Jiajing said with a sigh again at this moment.
"I believe my brother will definitely do it!" King Yu said sadly when he heard this.
"Well, can it be done? I know!" Jiajing said in a sigh.
"Father, you must take care of yourself too!" King Yu also looked at Jiajing and said, Jiajing nodded with a smile. Then the three of them were chatting while walking, followed by many father-in-laws.
Of course, it was mainly because Jiajing and King Yu chatted, but Zhang Hao didn't say much. After all, this was the first time that their father and son separated. Although Jiajing was an emperor and ruthless, he still showed some feelings when facing his son, so Zhang Hao didn't say anything and asked the father and son to say more.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of Yuxi Palace, and Jiajing stopped, and then said to King Yu and Zhang Hao: "I'll send you here. After you go out, you still need to pay attention to safety!"
"Yes, Your Majesty is leaving first!" Zhang Hao immediately bowed to Jiajing and said.
"Father, don't worry, I'm leaving, you'll go back early, it's still a little cold outside!" King Yu also stood there and bowed to Jiajing.
"Let's go, the army outside is still waiting for you!" Jiajing said to them with a smile. They bowed to Jiajing again, then turned around and left the palace gate.
When he arrived at the palace gate, King Yu stopped and looked back at Jiajing. Jiajing was still standing there. King Yu bowed to Jiajing again. Jiajing waved his hand at King Yu with a smile. King Yu turned around at this time and followed Zhang Hao into the carriage.
"Your Majesty, let's go!" After seeing Zhang Hao's carriage leaving, Lu Fang reminded Jiajing.
"Well. It's okay to leave, it's better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books. King Yu has been in the palace for too long. I have no chance to take him out, so I can only let Zhang Hao take him out. Fortunately, there is Zhang Hao!" Jiajing said with a smile.
"Yes. I brought so many people out this time, no problem!" Lu Fang continued to say to Jiajing. Jiajing nodded. Soon, the two of them turned around and returned to the palace, while Zhang Hao took King Yu and went out in a carriage. Zhang Hao's carriage was very comfortable and very large.
"King Yu, you can see along the way. The people are mentally illustrious along the way. The ones in the capital are still good, but the further away from the capital, the more suffering the people are!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu.
"Yeah!" King Yu nodded, then rolled up a corner of the curtain and looked at the scenery outside.
After arriving outside the city, the imperial guards saw Zhang Hao coming out and started to set off. However, some of the imperial guards had already set off first. They needed to explore the way forward, including for dangerous places, they would leave troops. When Zhang Hao and his convoy came, they would remind them.
Zhang Hao and the others arrived at Tangshan until the afternoon. Tangshan is completely different from last year. Last year, it was a small village, but now there are at least tens of thousands of people living here, which is already a large town. After Zhang Hao got off the carriage, all the officials here came to report to Zhang Hao.
King Yu originally thought Zhang Hao would have a rest, but unexpectedly, Zhang Hao was listening to their reports all the time, and Li Chunfang, Wu Heng and others were also reporting on the workshops.
King Yu was standing behind Zhang Hao. Now he was Zhang Hao's personal soldier. Those who knew King Yu's identity were the thousands and hundreds of households of the Jinyiwei. No one else knew about it.
"Is the production in Tiefang enough?" Zhang Hao sat there and asked.
"It's barely enough, but now we have built a lot of ships, so the amount is large. If there are not so many ships to be built in the future, then there is no need for so much steel!" Hu Jie stood there and said to Zhang Hao.
"Well, it still needs to be expanded. In the future, more and more ships will be built here. My Ming navy needs to conquer the world. One of the places with territory must have the banner of our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Tiefang needs to be expanded. In terms of equipment, I remember that I keep the drawings here!" Zhang Hao looked at Hu Jie and asked.
"It's an adult, the drawings are still there, but we have all collected them, so we dare not leak them out!" Hu Jie immediately bowed and said.
"Okay, double the expansion. I would rather the steel be rusted than we don't have enough steel by then, and will the money be enough?" Zhang Hao asked.
"Sir, enough!" Li Chunfang immediately said to Zhang Hao.
"It's good enough, continue to expand!" Zhang Hao nodded, then looked at Li Chunfang and asked, "How many ships are under construction now?"
"Sir, I am also exploring construction now, including twelve large ships, twelve medium ships, and twenty-four small ships!" Li Chunfang said to Zhang Hao and said.
"Have you built one yet?" Zhang Hao asked as he looked at him.
"No, there are two decks that have just been laid, but they can be built in as little as three months, and they will be launched at that time!" Li Chunfang said to Zhang Hao.
"No, I can wait for three months!" Zhang Hao said to them.
"Yes, sir, but I guess there is no problem. The boat is probably at least 2 months, but even the boats will be larger than the ships in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, we are steel warships, not comparable to those wooden ships. Once the battle starts, our warships will definitely have an advantage. Then we will be able to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates!" Li Chunfang said happily to Zhang Hao.
"We were going to kill those Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates were not eliminated, how can we be peaceful in the southeast coast? We must kill them!" Zhang Hao said to them.
"Yes!" They also bowed and said, while Zhang Hao continued to listen to their reports. After the report, Zhang Hao also invited them here. In the evening, Zhang Hao returned to the study and began to process the official documents, mainly the official documents here.
"Brother Man, are we building warships here?" King Yu said to Zhang Hao at this moment.
"Well, build warships, and where there is sea water, there will be our warships, where there is land, there will be our Ming flag. All of this is prepared by Your Majesty for you. He hopes that you can lead the Ming Dynasty to a higher glory,
But Your Majesty is also worried that once you only know how to fight and don’t understand the people’s sentiments, it will be troublesome. Emperor Wu of Han also fought the war, but the national strength was also weakened. Therefore, we need to avoid such a thing, so Your Majesty asked you to come out with me, and may even let you follow me to Shandong.
When you arrive in Shandong, I guess you can see how the people live! I can't take you out to see tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. I will take you to see the people in Hebei the day after tomorrow. Now the people in Hebei are still good. They all have their own farmland. Although they are not much, they are just more than one acre, but they can still survive.
In many places, the people cannot survive. Before last year, there were people rebellions everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, but since last year, it has decreased significantly, because the people can eat enough. If they can't even eat enough, then everyone is not afraid of death. 1" Zhang Hao smiled and said.
"Well, okay, but I haven't seen our warship yet!" King Yu looked at Zhang Hao excitedly and said.
"You will see it tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight. I'm probably tired too. Just sleep inside and I'm sleeping in the room outside!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu.
"No need to do this, right?" King Yu said in surprise when he heard this.
"I want it!" Zhang Hao said with a smile, and then Zhang Hao continued to look at the official documents, and King Yu sat there, drinking tea, reading books,
The next morning, after Zhang Hao and King Yu woke up, they even had breakfast. King Yu brought some people to serve him. After dinner, Zhang Hao took King Yu to start my dock.
After King Yu arrived at the dock, he saw a huge warship and was shocked. It was just that height, as if it had passed through the heights of many buildings in the palace.
"Brother Man, this is our warship?" King Yu looked at Zhang Hao in surprise and excitedly and asked.
"Well, this is our warship, but it has not been fully prepared yet, and it will take three months!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.
Chapter completed!
