    I strolled around the State Council on the left side of the Imperial City. Everywhere was busy. It was hard to see anyone casually smoking cigarettes and bragging and chatting.  As expected, Fang Xuanling is not in the office. This guy has the most things to do. He runs around all day long, so it is difficult to see him in the office.  I wandered into Du Ruhui's office. Du Ruhui saw me and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly got up and came to greet me: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty must have gained a lot from this trip, right?" "That's right, I have spent all my time.  With the help of nine cows and two tigers, I finally persuaded Master Sun. In about four or five days, you will be able to see Master Sun." I said with a proud smile.  "Your Majesty, I have some good news to present to Your Majesty." Seeing that I was in a good mood, Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes and told me a piece of news that shocked me.  "What good news? What?" I couldn't help but bulge my eyes and shouted in disbelief.  "They have arrived in Hancheng? This, how is this possible?" "I said Du Qing, are you trying to trick me?" This is too ridiculous. The last time I received the news, the ocean-going fleet had just arrived from  Jiaozhi was gone for only half a month.  And as of today, it¡¯s only been exactly one month since I¡¯ve calculated everything.  I remember that they set off from Hancheng County to Jiaozhi. This journey took nearly three months. Why did they come back so quickly? They couldn't be so awesome when they returned home.  Du Ruhui saw me acting like this, walked back to the desk, picked up a piece of paper, handed it to my hand respectfully and said: "When I received this news, I was as surprised as Your Majesty. I really don't understand.  , How could they rush back to Hancheng at such a fast speed? But this is indeed the case. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, just read this letter that was sent just two hours ago. "I received it and opened it in my hand to look at it carefully.  Only then did I understand what was going on.  It turns out that when they went there, they didn't know the route and didn't know the water conditions, so I asked them to draw a nautical chart along the way. In order to draw a nautical chart, after they left the mouth of the Yellow River, they kept walking along the coast.  Moving forward slowly, it took nearly three months to reach Jiaozhi.  But the return journey is different, because they no longer need to draw charts, so they no longer need to slowly move along the coast, using those excellent ships designed by my master and modified by those skilled old craftsmen.  , traveling north from Jiaozhi, it only took a total of twelve days to get from Jiaozhi to the mouth of the Yellow River.  Nearly twenty days were spent traveling on the Yellow River. After all, the Yellow River is no better than the sea, and the wind is difficult to fully control. Therefore, the boat speed was much slower when traveling in the Yellow River. It took a full eighteen days.  time, and then returned to Hancheng County.  Moreover, the letter also explained that if it were not for the need to take care of the speed of other types of ships, if the clippers were to travel alone in a team, it would only take seven or eight days at most to reach the mouth of the Yellow River from Jiaozhi.  .  In other words, the sailing speed of the clipper ship, a fast sailing ship invented at the end of the sailing era, is really staggering, almost twice as fast as those of various ships.  No wonder it only takes thirteen days for ships like this in later generations to cross the Atlantic, while even the latest Galen ships take more than a month and nearly forty days to cross the Atlantic, which shows the terrifying speed of this kind of clipper ship.  at.  Moreover, its tonnage is not small. The Grand Republic built by Citigroup in 1853 was 93 meters long, 16.2 meters wide and 9 meters deep. Its displacement reached 3,400 tons.  It is even larger than many Galen ships, but it can transport thousands of tons of cargo to the other side of the ocean in less than half a month.  After reading this letter, I couldn't help but let out a long breath. His grandma's, it's okay, it's great. There is a sea route of five or six thousand miles from Jiaozhi to the mouth of the Yellow River, but it only took this  In a short time, if there is really an ocean-going fleet composed entirely of clipper ships, starting from Quanzhou and heading east, it will take one month, at most, to cross the Pacific and reach the New World.  Cake seller, when I think of this, my son's heart starts to become hot and fiery. I wish I could issue an order right now to form a large ocean-going fleet of clipper ships and go to the end of the Pacific Ocean to find those rich products and minerals.  .  However, now I can only think about it. After all, the clippers under my master are all built inland. The largest one at present is only one with a displacement of 500 tons. If you really want to  If you want to sail across the ocean, you must first build a 1,000-ton clipper ship before considering it.  As for now, the main task is to conquer the Shu region. After opening up the land transportation of Jiaozhi, we will vigorously develop the ocean transportation industry in Jiaozhi area to promote the development of the shipbuilding industry. I have grown up a  Tone: "I really want to see those naval officers." "Your Majesty just"After returning from Taibai Mountain, we can no longer leave the capital. In the past few days, we have accumulated a lot of important tasks, which require your decision."  "Hearing this, Du Ruhui's brows jumped and he quickly tried to dissuade him. "Well, I know, I just thought about it. Alas, once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and from now on, freedom is like a passer-by" My son  Hearing this, Du Ruhui was stunned for a long time before he could react. He didn't know whether he was angry or funny. Anyway, his expression was like a slap in the face, and he couldn't hold back his grin.  What a fart. I looked at the letter, pondered for a moment and then ordered to Du Ruhui: "Send someone over to express condolences to these brave men who have traveled thousands of miles, and award all personnel the Bronze China Medal. Give them the rewards of the Bronze China Medal.  The reward of money and silk for the warriors" "Your Majesty is wise, and the humble minister obeys the decree.  "Du Ruhui nodded and respectfully accepted the order. After walking around, he returned to his office. When he saw the stack of documents more than two feet thick placed next to the desk, I began to feel a headache, dizziness, and blurred vision.  My legs are weak, damn, being an emperor is really not something that ordinary people can do. Come on, work hard for your own bright future and for world peace. Fortunately, I have two members of the secretariat.  They are all elite soldiers and have profound professional skills. They have already memorized these unresolved issues. Every time a memorial is handed over, they will clearly tell me who submitted it, what matters it is about, and what I need.  What kind of processing was done? In this way, I saved at least nearly a third of my time. From early morning to dusk, I finally cleared up all the matters.  After quickly finishing the official business, I was about to rush back to the house to meet my mother. Unexpectedly, I just ran out of the office and saw the gray-faced Lao Wu Wuyi and Murong Changfeng bragging and spanking.  Walking outside the palace, "Lao Wu, Murong Qing, why are you two still in the palace?  "I walked up and said hello. "I have met Your Majesty" As soon as the two of them saw me, they both saluted. "Okay, okay, excuse me, what are you doing, fifth brother?  , call me brother, next time you scream nonsense, believe it or not, I will slap you.  "After I waved my hand to Murong Changfeng, I glared at Lao Wu Wuyi, frightening the young man who had grown into a handsome young man. He stammered and put on a smile to tell the difference.  Said: "Fourth brother, didn't you say that you have to do business outside?  " "I just let you do business, and I didn't ask you to kill your brother in any way, do you know?  "My young master rubbed this guy's forehead and said with a smile, how do you know how this guy was brought up? Both my young master and my sister have a relatively free and easy temperament, but the fifth child seems to be much more rigorous, no matter how he does things.  He is always so meticulous, which is really weird. This has been changed a lot under the education of my son and my sister. Otherwise, this little guy will definitely be an old-fashioned person in the future. "Oh,  Fourth brother" This guy is very obedient. At least he doesn't dare to be stubborn in front of me. Otherwise, I have many ways to deal with him. Although this guy seems to be a bit old-fashioned, he is very good at adapting to the situation. At least he has gradually gained a wall.  Cao Cao's demeanor is very good. To use a complimentary word to describe it, he is good-natured. "Murong Qing, it's almost time for the lights to come on, why did you come out?  "I turned around and asked Murong Changfeng. "Your Majesty, the minister and the prince are checking the progress of the project in the back garden" Murong Changfeng replied respectfully. "By the way, I took a look around.  The growth of grass.  " "How is it? How is the construction going now?  "I couldn't help but asked out of curiosity. "Fourth brother, now all the underground facilities have been completed and have been capped. Now we are preparing to build the above-ground buildings.  "Lao Wuwuyi replied from the side. "That's really fast enough. By the way, have you prepared enough building materials?  "I touched my chin and asked. "Your Majesty, don't worry, all the materials are ready. However, there are only a few boxes of samples for ceramic tiles at the moment. We have to wait for Your Majesty to confirm them before the porcelain kiln can fire them in large quantities.  " "Well, okay, I might as well ask them to send it to my office tomorrow. I'll just pick a time tomorrow to go there and have a look in person to make sure.  "You can't make my office look like a construction site. After all, we are also the emperor and the master of a country. We can't be too wanton. " Early the next morning, I came with Murong Changfeng, who had made an appointment yesterday.  The construction site behind the palace is located. The large open area on the east bank of the lake has become a huge construction site. Hundreds of workers and more than ten construction machines are working together. The construction site is filled with smoke and noise.
