In fact, Ying Gao could get here at a faster speed, but he didn't. When he passed by several counties he had fought in, Ying Gao stopped his steps and saw how these counties were different from the previous anti-Qin war. Of course, the final result was very satisfying to Ying Gao.

From leaving Hangu Pass, Ying Gao met his father-in-law Feng Jie along the way to Xu Gong, who had been with him since he was a young master. Of course, this was all in the case of a sudden attack.

This was not something Ying Gao did on purpose, not telling the counties along the way mainly for Ying Gao's safety. Otherwise, once there were assassins along the way, no one could explain where the assassin came from.

Even in this case, the efforts made by Feng Jie and Xu Gong in their respective counties to implement Ying Gao's new policies and the new Qin law firm were quite recognized by Ying Gao, especially the lecture hall that Ying Gao values ​​very much. Every time he goes to a place, he will personally disguise himself and hurry to take a look at the local lecture hall.

Seeing that the lecture halls in some larger counties were almost lively, even the smaller lecture halls in some villages attracted almost all the young people in the nearby villages, Ying Gao left with confidence.

When he finally arrived in Shouchun, Wang Li was still greeting outside the city gate of Shouchun. Even if there was a sudden attack, it would be impossible for people with positions like Wang Li to go directly to the city to block him anywhere. Ying Gao still had to give the face he should give. After all, this era does not require others to handle government affairs in the county temple for twelve hours a day. It is still necessary to relax when it is okay.

So the Zhu family sent a deputy general to Shouchun one hour after Ying Gao was about to arrive and informed Wang Li about this. The most important thing is that the emperor came with his two wives. Not to mention anything else, Wang Li must have arranged this residence for Ying Gao.

"Your Majesty is very anxious to come here. Wang Li has just arrived in the city. He has not received any good hospitality. Please forgive me!"

Wang Li has not seen Ying Gao for several years, but he has not forgotten what Ying Gao said to him when he forgave his crime. From that time on, Wang Li, as the governor of Jiujiang County, has dedicated everything he has to Ying Gao.

He knew what Ying Gao wanted him to do here and where he fell from before.

So over the years, Wang Li has almost been energetic and wants to build the warships that Ying Gao demanded. Although he did suffer some difficulties before, Wang Li personally traveled almost all the surrounding coastal counties and used a lot of money to invite many capable people who can build ships to Jiujiang County where the warships were built, so he achieved the current results.

He had built a total of four warships with Ying Gao required size. After informing Xianyang about this, he originally wanted to build more warships during this period, but he didn't expect that less than two months had passed, Ying Gao actually arrived in Jiujiang in person.

In fact, Wang Li didn't have to think much about it. He knew that Ying Gao must have come this time for the warship, but of course he couldn't tell him it out loud, not to mention that the emperor came with his wife.

"I don't need your hospitality. I came here just for one thing, that is, I want to see how the warships you built with so much time and manpower here have improved compared to those warships in Daqin before."

"I don't know when the Lord wants to go. The shipbuilding place is still a distance from Shouchun City. Moreover, the Lord has brought his two wives with him, so it's better..."

Of course, what Wang Li wanted to say was better to take a break first and wait until he was fully energetic before going to see the warship. However, before he finished speaking, Ying Gaoyi reached out to him.

Ying Gao waved his hand and said, "It's still early today. It's better to hit the day than choose a day. Let's go today. As for my two wives, I heard that I, Daqin, have built a more sturdy warship than before. I want to accompany me to examine it. Now that I have arrived here, they will naturally accompany me to go there."

Everyone around him already knew Ying Gao's temper very well, not to mention that Han Xin was very excited after listening to Ying Gao's plan on the road. He had long wanted to see what the warship, which was so much stronger than the warship that Xu Fu rode on when he went out to sea, looked like. So as soon as Ying Gao finished speaking, he couldn't wait to ride a horse in front of him and signaled Wang Li to lead the way.

In fact, Wang Li really wanted Ying Gao to quickly take a look at the warship he supervised. Although Ying Gao was handed over to him and Chen Ying to be responsible for the warship, Wang Li knew that because the first place to build the warships was in Jiujiang County, he devoted much more energy to this matter than Chen Ying.

The territory of Jiujiang County is the main road of the largest river in the Qin Dynasty. It is precisely because Ying Gao knew this that the river could merge into the sea all the way south, so he chose the place where the warships were built.

It is safe here. When the warship is really built successfully, the warship can be trained on the spacious river surface. After the training is completed, the warship can also be allowed to sail into the sea through the wide river surface.

It took half an hour to travel from the city gate of Shouchun to the river where the warships were built. The closer it was to the river, the harder it was to go. Under such circumstances, even Ying Gao got off the carriage and rode the war horses like many generals.

What surprised everyone even more was that Ying Gao's two wives also got off the carriage, and they just covered their faces with light gauze and wore black cloaks. Then they even got on a horse, Tian Yan was in front and Feng Qing was behind. The two rode their horses and followed Ying Gao's mounts tightly and headed towards the direction of building the warship.

Tian Yan and Feng Qing's move made everyone, including Han Xin, stunned. The emperor's wife's move really surprised them. Originally, when he heard Ying Gao take his two wives on a tour together, except for the Zhu family, who knew some of the situation, everyone thought that Feng Qing and Tian Yan would become their burden if they encountered something, but now it seems that it is not the case.

Although Han Xin had heard Yang Zi tell him that Tian Yan, the wife of Ying Gaoxin, who entered the palace, was proficient in various weapons and was undoubtedly better than Han Xin's martial arts, but Han Xin did not take it seriously at the time, thinking that a woman could have just a few tricks and embroidered skills.

But now, my wife is really not fooling me at all. The new wife of the king seems to be a trainer, and her half-baked player seems to be really not good.

While riding the horse, everyone passed through a thick fog that was spreading on the riverside. In the fog, a team of guards were closely guarding Ying Gao and Feng Qingtian Yan until the river gradually appeared in everyone's eyes.

The one that appeared with the river was a huge outline. Everyone knew that it was the latest warship built by Daqin. At the beginning, everyone did not look too surprised. It was not until they got closer and looked at it under the warship that they finally knew why Ying Gao had to come to see the warship in person.

It turned out that the warships of the Qin Dynasty were the largest when Xu Fu went out to sea, but their length was only nearly ten feet long. That was the spoils seized in Qi during the process of the Qin Dynasty's unification. Later, after some modifications and transformations, they became the warships of the Qin Dynasty.

During the Warring States Period, Qin was a completely inland country and naturally knew nothing about the construction of warships that could sail on the sea. Only Qi and Wu Yue were the only ones. Because their national strength was good, and they were close to the sea, they all had several warships that could be used.

Even with the construction of this warship, Wang Li has sought to search for many old men from the Wu and Yue land before, and found some classics of the warships that were built, which played a very important role in the construction process.

The newly built warships completely killed the warships from Qi and Wu Yue in size alone, from less than ten feet to nearly fifteen feet. The size of the warships expanded a few times.

And now because Ying Gao vigorously promoted iron tools within the scope of the Qin Dynasty, iron smelting technology has made great progress in recent years under the advocacy and research of Zhang Kai. They have been able to create iron tools with very good hardness and resistance.

These iron tools are used on warships, and can reinforce all parts of the hull that were connected together almost entirely by mortise and tenon technology with iron parts. Some rust prevention treatments are done outside. The strength of the warship has increased by more than before.

"Sir, this warship is the one mentioned in the letter I wrote to you that I have experimented on the river surface and returned safely. In addition, the three warships that have been completed have all been driven away by sailors and went to the distance to experiment. Once they find any problems such as water seepage, they will immediately find the reason. I believe they can return in less than ten days."

After seeing Ying Gao get under the warship, Wang Li didn't say anything, but rode his horse around the warship and started to look at it, as if he didn't want to let go of every part exposed on the water. Wang Li was nervous, so he naturally wanted Ying Gao to understand the characteristics of his warship more carefully, so he followed Ying Gao and began to introduce it.

Although Ying Gao's face did not have any expression, he was still quite excited when he looked at the huge creature in front of him.

He knew that the behemoth in front of him was the change brought to the world by his arrival. Without his own arrival, the Qin Dynasty would never have been able to build warships of such size and such a solidity. On the turbulent sea, large means stability, and solidity means being able to withstand greater wind and waves. These will greatly enhance the survival ability of the navy armies who take these warships to sea in the future.

"Go on the boat and watch!"

Ying Gao did not express any comments on Wang Li's introduction, but just nodded slightly. After reading everything he could observe on the shore, he waved his hand and took everyone to board the towering ship.

Although the warship docked in the river water often swayed against the hull, it did not shake much. This is enough to show that the weight of the ship is enough. It will not be like the building ships in the Three Kingdoms period in the previous life, where a wave can be overturned on the river.

Of course, there are also the contributions of Ying Gao to guide Wang Li in his previous letters. The reason why the tower ships in the Three Kingdoms period were still overturned by the river surface while carrying seven or eight hundred people was not that the technology was not good during the Three Kingdoms period, but that the shape of the tower ship was not stable.

Therefore, when Ying Gao was sending orders to Wang Li, he not only had requirements for the length of the hull, but also had the height that could not exceed a certain specification. In addition, the width and the shape of the bottom of the ship, Ying Gao was imitated by the sketches drawn by the large ships in later generations.

Although he can't do some mechanics principles if you ask Ying Gao to explain them with formulas, he still knows the general principles, at least he is much better than Wang Li and the others.

Now after Ying Gao's inspection, Wang Li has done it in terms of appearance and size, and he has done it well.

Ying Gao took the lead and ascended the deck of the big ship. On the deck, there were still some craftsmen making minor repairs to the details. They obviously did not know Ying Gao, but only knew how to salute Wang Li. Wang Li was about to introduce him, but Ying Gao stopped him.

"How many naval troops can this ship carry?" After silently looking around on the deck and in the cabin of the warship, Ying Gao suddenly asked this question.

"If you are not considered the helm, you should be able to load two thousand!"

When he said this, Wang Li was full of confidence. Although he thought that if he changed the shape of the warship in his own way, he still did not dare to do this after thinking about it. However, even if he did not make any changes, he could still hold two thousand soldiers in the last test. Such achievements made Wang Li quite satisfied.

But Wang Li's proud answer was just spoken, and Ying Gao was asked another question next.

"Have you ever counted the two thousand soldiers' armor and weapons and the food and supplies needed for long-term navigation?" After hearing this, Ying Gao still asked without any expression.
Chapter completed!
