With a rooster cry, Guo Shao woke up from his sleep. There are no chickens in the court, it is the **** who learns to crow the cock.

Guo Shao opened his eyes and froze for a moment, because there was a "unfamiliar" woman lying beside her, with smooth bare shoulders still outside the quilt. It took him a while to recover. The woman was Lu Qiongxian. Last night's scenes and voices became fragments like a spent disk, pouring into his mind sporadically.

She curled up, still in her sleep. The women seemed to dislike each other, but Guo Shao felt for a moment that, although Lu Qiongxian had a bad reputation, he was still cute and pitiful when he fell asleep.

Guo Shao turned his head to look at the window, the sky was not bright yet. But the crow of the **** was very accurate, more accurate than the crow of a real cock.

He gently pulled the quilt, covered Lu Qiongxian's naked shoulders, and pressed the quilt under her to compact it, and got up from the wide bed.

At this moment, a lazy voice said: "I don't want your Majesty to dominate the world, but he is a careful and gentle person."

Guo Shao turned around and said: "I have business, you will sleep again."

This lady always says things that people love to listen to, and Junjun must like such people, such as the former king of the Southern Han Dynasty.

At this moment, she said faintly: "Just leave after sleeping. It is always sad at this time... Your Majesty, will you still look for me?"

Guo Shao doesn't say anything, he is the least willing to make promises. He picked up a purple round-neck gown and put it on. At this time, Lu Qiongxian wore a coat and got up, and came over to comb the bun on Guo Shao's head.

She whispered: "The concubine feels that her bones are scattered when she gets up."

Guo Shao smiled and said: "I will treat you as a compliment."

He prepared, washed and ate breakfast, and drove straight to Jinxiang Temple. Going up from the inside of the Jinxiang Hall, the layout inside is very complicated...It seems that there are countless corridors, small courtyards, and houses. If ordinary people can enter here, they will definitely get lost.

But the front halls facing the outside are grand and square, with a very simple layout. This Jinxiang Palace alone, also called Guo Shao, feels like the government of the dynasty. The outside is superficial and even dull, but the back is inextricably opaque.

Today, Guo Shao neither discussed politics with the ministers, nor was he in the dynasty. He first came to the study and asked people to look at the memorials and dossier during the expedition.

Opening the dossier, I first saw Fu Jinzhan's administrative layout combining the waste materials of the gunpowder workshop with the farm. Guo Shao saw a wave of waves in his heart when he saw the neat and neat lower letters.

Fu Jinzhan's fingers smoothing his clothes flashed in his mind, and these helped him to manage carefully and seriously. Even the purple robe he wears now is sewn with one stitch and one thread of calendula. Guo Shao had no warning, and he felt unspeakable in his heart.

He exhaled and continued to look at the things on the table.

At this time, he realized that there was a very important thing that was not done. The last time he was on the front line, he made a decree to equip the Dragon Army battleship with new bronze cannons, but he has not succeeded so far.

There are many drawings below. Guo Shao looked over it and said, "Come here, call Han Tong, Zan Jurun, and Li Xin to the east hall to see me."

"Comply with the purpose."

After waiting for a long time, the two eunuchs at the door opened the wooden door, and the three of them strode off, clasping their fists and bowing: "Your Majesty will live forever."

Guo Shao raised the sleeves of his robe and waved it, and said straight: "We have also obtained the shipbuilding structure of the food merchant, but if the sea ship is not equipped with guns, how can water warfare have an advantage? Still use the sword to fight. It’s useless to sail far."

Guo Shaoxin said: Sea battles cannot form an absolute advantage, how to fight the East Island? Can't hit the East Island, where did the gold and silver coins cost a huge military expenditure? ! Now this rule, the cost of the battle is extremely high, and a Pingxia battle is so smooth, after returning to the rewards, once the accounts are settled, it is at a loss to grandma's home.

Soldiers only know that they are treated well today, and now they are rich in the world, brothers cannot be paid less than before, but they don’t know where the money comes from... Taxes are mostly in kind, but expenses require a lot of cash; Now the essence is the consequence of the recruitment system.

Guo Shao knew from the dossiers written by Jinzhan that now there are very few treasures that Neiku has looted from the courts of the southern countries. Guo Shao also knows that in the past few years, he has used troops for years, and wars have been too frequent.

He didn't care about the three-seven-one, first expressed his stance: "You must carry the cannon on the battleship!"

Han Tong turned his head to look at Li Xin, and Li Xin said, "Your Majesty, calm down. The biggest difference between the big food ship and the Central Plains ship is that the hull is narrow and long, and the sail is easy to travel at sea; but the shipbuilding skills are really better than that of the Central Plains. The boat is not much better.

The shortcoming of the big food ship is that it is too small. The bronze guns are too heavy. According to your majesty, guns must be installed on both sides. If there are only five guns on one side, they weigh up to 10,000 jin. The hull will almost capsize once the guns are fired.

The minister and other craftsmen tried to do everything possible to build a wooden rail gun mount for the artillery, which was hung by iron chains. When the gun was fired, the gun body moved back along the wooden track, and the impact was buffered with iron chains. I wanted to reduce the aftershock force, but found that it still didn’t work... The only way is to use a big ship! "

Guo Shao heard him talk nonsense, and almost didn't blurt out: Since he wants a big ship, won't he enlarge the hull? !

But he is not a shipbuilder, although he usually read a lot of files and learned a lot. But interlacing like a mountain is not a joke. He immediately asked: "Can you make a big food ship a big ship?"

Li Datong: "In response to your majesty, the minister asked the master craftsman of the shipyard. The shipbuilder can't zoom in, the constraint lies in the keel."

"Keel?" Guo Shao had heard of this term.

Li Xin worshipped: "The bigger and heavier the ship, the stronger the hull, and the stronger the keel. With the keel of a big food ship, it will fall apart when it is built.

We can also build buildings and ships, but they are flat-bottomed boats, which are fine in rivers. They are unstable on the sea and cannot withstand heavy waves. "

Guo Shao couldn't do anything. He said he couldn't help. If it is in the structure of firearms, he can still think about|getting out a matchlock, but sailing... really doesn't know much about it.

He knew that the treasure ship that Zheng He sailed to the West in the Ming Dynasty was very large, but it is not the Ming Dynasty, and he has nowhere to get the shipbuilding drawings of the treasure ship.

"You guys think about ideas again." Guo Shao waved his hand. Can’t make it harder, even if he is the emperor, he can’t tell the minister: he wants an aircraft carrier, can they satisfy the emperor?

Han Tong and others didn't get the job done, they didn't dare to say more, and immediately said: "The minister waits for thanks and resigns."

At this moment, Guo Shao suddenly thought of Lu Qiongxian. She said she could find a shipbuilder?

……

A barracks of the Crane Control Army is very lively. Li Chuyun, the founding father of the country, wore a commoner, and rode out to the barracks with a few entourages. Li Chuyun looked into the barracks and said, "Gong Li, shall we go in for inspection? Subordinates go down and talk."

Li Chuyun immediately waved his hand and looked down at his dress: "No, the old man will just take a look."

He turned his head and said to an old man: "The current crane control army is not before. Now the Forbidden Army infantry is the crane control army."

The old man clasped his fists and bowed, "The soldiers seem to be leading the salary."

Li Chuyun stroked his big beard and said: "People from the Ministry of War are sending out."

The old man nodded, his expression clear.

At this moment, I saw some soldiers twisting the sacks, holding paper in their hands. Li Chuyunce immediately said: "The military pay you receive is all in full?"

"Foot is full, but it's all this..." At this moment, a soldier looked at Li Chuyun's beard, and someone shouted, "Isn't this the founding father General Li!"

Li Chuyun smiled and said nothing. Everyone was busy performing the military salute: "See Gong Li."

"What are you screwing?" Li Chuyun asked.

A soldier opened the sack and said: "Salt, cloth, and this. The officials of the Ministry of Defense said it was a ticket. When the grain ships from all over the country arrive in Beijing, they will go to the grain ship at Pratunam Pier with their respective generals. Ticket to receive wheat."

Li Chuyun said: "You can rest assured, the court has a letter, you can get it if you take it."

The army didn't seem to be dissatisfied. The entourage asked for a ticket and showed it to Li Chuyun. Li Chuyun looked at it, and half of it was numbered, and it was also fingerprinted. The method of the Ministry of War is still safe. Soldiers have to follow their respective commanders to draw the food when they receive their food. They also have numbered tickets. Usually, there will be no mistakes.

Mainly this ticket will be redeemed for real objects soon, so everyone seems to have no need to resist. As Li Chuyun asked in the first sentence, is it enough? Just give it enough.

Li Chuyun didn't stay much, and left the barracks with his entourage.

Not long after, the old man beside him said: "The court doesn't seem to have much money."

Li Chuyun nodded and said: "The hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops rely on military pay to survive. Once in a war, they will have to settle down if they are not opened, and they will be rewarded when they come back. This is a rule of decades, and the cost is not small.

The official family recently reorganized the soldiers in Zhubian Town, Liu Renzhan, Gao Yanjian, Zhe Dehuo, and Yang Ye. The total number of people in the hands of these four people is more than 100,000. Adding the original two batches of 200,000 guards, the number of guards may be 400,000 in the future.

The guards do not receive payment, but they are different from the mansion soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They still need to get money, and the central treasury pays for all of their expeditions, garrisons, and training. There is no way. If the officials want the central government to control the world's soldiers and horses, first the military needs the central government to pay. "

The old man said calmly: "As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a critical thing for the court."

Li Chuyun turned his head and glanced at him, but the two looked at each other and did not take it anymore.

Li Chuyun said: "Does Zhong Lao have any ideas?"

The old man said: "This matter is the fruit of the strong and the weak, and it is too radical. The soldiers are collected quickly, but the financial revenue is slow, and there will be a shortage of money."

Li Chuyun said: "Officials are like that, doing things like thunder, if you want to do it, do it drastically!"

The old man said calmly: "However, the world has been unified in the past dynasties, and the martial arts are really not treated like this." He added, "The Han and Tang Dynasties are fiefdoms, but Yicheng separatist civil strife."

Li Chuyun pondered for a moment, "Now the officials have something to say again. Those people are standing and talking and don't have a backache. If the court neither gives fiefdoms nor money, how can we lead the soldiers to let the brothers go up desperately? ?"
