It's time to seriously integrate these forces!

Thinking of this, Ying Zigao picked up a brush and personally gave instructions on Cui Yong's memorial.

After encouraging Cui Yong, Ying Zigao instructed him to recruit all the original shipbuilders and tidy up the original government-run shipbuilding workshop.

Extensively search for shipwrights in Qidi.

As soon as possible, integrate Qidi's shipbuilding resources and technical strength.

After finishing writing the instructions, Ying Zigao handed the memorial to the eunuch with him, and ordered: "Send it to Qidi as soon as possible, and hand it over to Cui Yong!"

After sending the eunuch away, Ying Zigao thought about it, and asked the maid to take out the silk cloth, and used the navigation technology he knew, the sea ship graphics of the Song Dynasty.I drew it carefully.

While painting vigorously, a guard's voice came from outside the study: "Your Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of War, please see me!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao couldn't help being secretly surprised.

Right now, the Xiongnu have just won a great victory in the Northern Expedition, and again.The rebellion in the south has been put down, and the domestic situation is stable!
Why did Shangshu of the Ministry of War suddenly ask for an audience?
Did something happen again?
Ying Zigao didn't care about having the study cleaned up, so he hurriedly said, "Let him in!"

"Your Majesty, it's a great event!" The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said hurriedly with a happy face when he saw Ying Zigao.

Hearing this, Ying Zigao was relieved and asked with great interest, "What's the happy event?"

"Your Majesty, after the northern garrison arrived at the residence, they immediately followed His Majesty's instructions to start reclamation and guard the border!"

Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly said: "Now the wasteland has been reclaimed, and the potatoes have been sown successfully, and the growth is gratifying!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao couldn't help feeling excited.

Reclamation and guarding the border is a major initiative since he basically came to power!
It has poured a lot of experience and placed high hopes.

It went so smoothly, which made him very satisfied!

"Your Majesty, the reclamation of the wasteland is so fast and smooth, and the iron farm tools improved by His Majesty, especially the Quyuanli, have contributed a lot!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War then said excitedly: "The soldiers who participated in the reclamation are full of praise! The efficacy of Quyuanli is even more highly praised by the soldiers!"

"It is not only labor-saving, but also light and handy to use. The efficacy is multiplied!
Compared with the previous Zhiyuan plow, the plowing efficiency of the Quyuan plow has tripled! "

Seeing the excited expression on the Minister of the Ministry of War, Ying Zigao couldn't help but nodded again and again.

Although he has known for a long time that Quyuanli is a revolutionary technological achievement in the history of Chinese agricultural tools.

Once it appears, it will have a huge boost to agriculture.

But he still felt a great sense of accomplishment seeing people in this era so excited!

"Your Majesty, in the report sent by the border generals, there is a unanimous request that the government-run iron smelting workshops should vigorously produce new agricultural tools, especially Quyuanli!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War then said seriously: "They all plan to do a big job next spring, and cultivate more land!"

"It's okay to reclaim more land." Ying Zigao said seriously: "Just be careful not to cut down trees at will and damage the grassland."

"My minister understands!" The Minister of War said hurriedly.

"Also, these potatoes cannot be planted continuously."

Ying Zigao then seriously warned: "After the spring of next year, new crops will be planted!"

"Your Majesty, what is this new crop?"

Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly asked: "Is it better than potatoes?"

Ying Zigao smiled slightly and said: "This new crop is corn. Although the yield is not as high as potatoes, it is not as cold and drought-resistant as potatoes, and it is more labor-intensive to plant.

But the fruit is easy to process and easy to store!And can be with potatoes.Soybeans are interplanted with food crops to improve land utilization! "

Talking, Ying Zigao looked at the expectant eyes of Minister of the Ministry of War, and continued: "The output can at least reach five stones!"

"Five stones?" Hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of War's eyes lit up!
"This is four times the grain output of the Central Plains!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly said: "Including the production of potatoes, next year, the rations of the troops stationed in the village will be enough! There will be no need to transport food and grass all the way from the Central Plains!"

Speaking of this, Minister of the Ministry of War looked at Ying Zigao expectantly, and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, when will there be enough corn seeds?"

"Don't worry, there will be enough seeds for you in the first spring of next year!"

Ying Zigao smiled confidently: "You should greet the generals of the garrison army in advance, and cultivate more new land!

Otherwise, when the seeds arrive and you don’t have enough land to plant them, it will be a joke! "

"Weichen must remind them well!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War said hurriedly.

The two monarchs and ministers chatted happily, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't help but feel relaxed. Looking at Ying Zigao's case, he noticed the graphics on the silk cloth.

He hurriedly asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you draw the figure of a warship on this silk cloth?"

"It's a new type of warship that I came up with. I probably drew a few strokes when I'm interested!"

Ying Zigao smiled and said, "You're here before the painting is finished!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War was obviously interested, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I dare you, can you take a look at His Majesty's paintings?"

"Of course." Ying Zigao readily agreed, and handed the silk cloth to the Minister of War.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly took the silk cloth with both hands, and began to read it carefully.

Seriously looking at this pattern, the eyes of Minister of the Ministry of War could not help but widen!
The look on his face became more and more surprised.

"Your Majesty, the design of your warship is amazing!"

Looking at the pattern of the warship, the Minister of the Ministry of War couldn't help but get excited, and hurriedly said loudly: "Many designs are pioneering work!"

"Which places are innovative?" Hearing this, Ying Zigao couldn't help but ask with interest.

"Your Majesty, look, this mast, sail, and this keel, ribs!"

Minister of the Ministry of War pointed to the pattern and said excitedly: "It is very different from the current warship! With such a change, the structure of the warship will be stronger and more stable, and more resistant to waves and waves!"
With such a change in the sail, the speed of the warship will also be greatly increased! "

While talking, Minister of the Ministry of War pointed to the watertight compartment, oars and stern rudder.

Then he said seriously: "There are a few more things, I don't know what to call them, but with the addition of these things, the maneuverability, maneuverability and flexibility of the warship will be greatly improved!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao couldn't help but nodded.

He really didn't expect that Shangshu of the Ministry of War, a native of Qin, was so familiar with shipbuilding.
