Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

"We will strictly follow your requirements for selection!"

After listening to Li Ke's words, Qu Wenkang also realized the importance of these factors, and immediately nodded solemnly.

"After all the selections are completed, they will be sent to the Shenji Battalion in Yangzhou City. This king will personally train them for a period of time."

Seeing that Qu Wenkang understood what he meant, Li Ke immediately nodded and gave some instructions.

He will personally train them at that time, including sailing at sea, and some things to pay attention to after discovering the new continent, etc.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Qu Wenkang and the others nodded respectfully.

After the explanation, Li Ke took the boat again and headed towards Yangzhou City from the Water Army Wharf.

While on the boat, Li Ke also discussed with Zheng how to deal with the water leakage.

"Use eucommia gum to make a rubber pad, and then apply grease to the rubber pad and the drive shaft to lubricate."

"This can reduce the speed of water leakage a lot, and then redesign a drainage system."

"Using the power of the steam engine to pump out the water leaking from the cabin, the speed of pumping water is greater than the speed of water leakage, and there will be no problem."

Li Ke explained his ideas to Zheng Tiancheng, and drew him a drawing of the pumping equipment.

With the steam engine as power, many machines can be manufactured.

"The officer understands!"

After hearing Li Ke's words, Zheng Tiancheng's eyes lit up, and the doubts in his eyes immediately dissipated a lot.

He went into a misunderstanding before, thinking that it must be done without any omissions.

But now I only realized it after hearing what Li Ke said. In fact, it doesn't have to be complete.

As Li Ke said, the drainage speed is greater than the leakage speed.

As for when the ship stops, the problem of water leakage is easily solved.

When the ship is stationary, he has a way of being completely leak-free.

But as soon as the transmission shaft turns, it will instantly burst the originally sealed gap.

Therefore, when the ship is stationary, the gap is completely blocked.

When the ship is moving forward, the power of the steam engine can drive the pumping equipment to pump out all the leaked water.

This ensures that even if there is a water leak, the normal navigation of the ship will not be affected.

"It has to be His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Zheng Tiancheng couldn't help sighing in his heart.

The problem that had troubled him for so many days before was solved by Li Ke with a single sentence.

Moreover, he had fallen into a misunderstanding before. If Li Ke's words hadn't awakened him, I'm afraid he didn't know how long it would take him to understand this truth.

He had previously felt that perhaps only Li Ke in the entire Tang Dynasty could solve his doubts.

As expected, in the end it was really a matter of Li Ke's words.

"Continue to expand the scale of the shipyard to ensure that multiple Galen ships can be built at the same time, and build a steam Galen ship to experiment."

Before Li Ke returned to Yangzhou, he also gave Zheng Tiancheng instructions on the next shipyard plan.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zheng Tiancheng immediately nodded respectfully.

The speed of the steamship is indeed faster, which is the reason why the power of this steam engine is not large enough, otherwise the speed will be faster!

Moreover, after the previous ships entered the Yangtze River, their speed slowed down.

Because the wind in the inland river is much weaker than the sea breeze.

But after the steamship entered the Yangtze River, its speed remained unabated, it was still so fast!

Even people on both sides of the Yangtze River were surprised to see this scene, because the boat had no sails and no one was rowing.

Can run so fast!

Moreover, the stern of the ship kept emitting thick white smoke, which made many people wonder if the stern of the ship was on fire.

After returning to Yangzhou City, Li Ke stayed in the Governor's Mansion to accompany his family.

Today, the weather is fine.

Li Ke took his family to a slightly deserted place outside the city in a carriage.

Li Ke got out of the carriage with his family, and everyone knew where this place was.

Because there are four big characters written on the tall archway in front of you.

Mausoleum of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty!

Obviously, seeing these four words, Zhao Nanyan and the others understood where Li Ke had brought them.

Regarding this, they did not make a sound, and just quietly stayed by Li Ke's side.

Because they are naturally very clear about Li Ke's identity.

Li Ke's mother, Empress Yang, was the daughter of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, so Li Ke was Yang Guang's grandson.

Generally speaking, it is very normal for grandchildren to come to worship their grandfathers.

However, the identity of this grandfather is very special, and the identity of this grandson is also very special!

One is the former emperor, the other is the current Qin king, and the next emperor.

Logically speaking, this is actually a very sensitive matter, and most people would stay away from it.

In order not to be gossiped, saying that he still misses the previous court in his heart.

But since Li Ke still came, and brought his family with him, he came to the Mausoleum of Emperor Yang of Sui to worship without any concealment.

This shows that Li Ke must have his own considerations in mind, so they naturally don't have to think about it.

Li Ke looked at the deserted and shabby imperial mausoleum in front of him, but he didn't have any thoughts in his mind.

After all, it is a very good result for the king of subjugation to be buried in the ground.

He didn't have any special feelings for Yang Guang, and it was more of a discussion about Yang Guang in later generations.

However, for him, whether it is good or bad, or mixed, it doesn't mean much.

He came here only because he completely destroyed Goguryeo and came to pay homage.

When he was in Chang'an City before, he also went to see Empress Xiao, and said that he would come to worship in person when he returned to Yangzhou.

Other than that, it was just to pay respects on behalf of his mother, Empress Yang.

As for whether his behavior will cause some people to gossip, or use this incident to refer to him?

He wasn't worried at all.

Now it is not more than a year ago, when he just traveled here.

At that time, my foundation was still shallow, and I was cautious and considerate in many things.

But now he has become the next emperor appointed by Li Shimin, and his foundation is completely solid.

Even if he worshiped Emperor Sui Yang here, no one would say anything.

Even if you go to Li Shimin to read his book, it doesn't make much sense.

After all, who left the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty inappropriate and ran to miss the former Sui Dynasty?

Brain sick, right?

When he came to the tombstone of the emperor's mausoleum, Li Ke asked people to take out the incense for worship that he had prepared earlier.

"I have led the army to completely destroy Goguryeo, and the former Sui soldiers who are still alive have also been brought back to the Central Plains."

"I hope this news can untie your knot."

Li Ke burned something for him, and said a few words softly.

After speaking and burning the incense, Li Ke left with his family.

Within a few days, Li Ke received the news.

The shipyards where the Yangzhou shipyards transferred their technology have gone through such a long period of expansion and construction.

A large number of large ships have been launched recently!

Upon receiving this news, a smile of anticipation appeared on Li Ke's face.

Because when the ship is in place, the foreign trade business can start!

The great voyage is finally about to begin!

PS: The third update! .

Chapter 331 Can't sell the big ship?Li Ke: Do you want to do more profitable business?

Initially, he asked Yangzhou Shipyard to build Galen ships for two reasons.

The first purpose is naturally to enhance the strength of the navy and completely change the way of naval warfare.

This point was vividly demonstrated in the battle with the Goguryeo Water Army Fleet.

The second purpose is to send some Yangzhou sailors to take Galen ships to the new continent!

Ordinary ships cannot overcome the wind and waves on the sea, and the danger is relatively high.

The Galen ship is much stronger in terms of its size, displacement, stability, and wind and wave resistance.

The most important thing is that the Galen ship has been tested by a large number of examples in later generations, and the long-distance voyage is absolutely guaranteed.

After adding the map he gave and reaching the new continent he designated, there is basically no problem.

After arriving at the place, he also had several tasks for these soldiers.

For example, collecting intelligence, what kind of forces are there in those new continents, how strong are they, how many people are there, and so on.

After all, all he knew were historical records, and given the traffic and information conditions in ancient times, some information might not be accurate.

There are also seeds of crops that are not available in Datang, such as peppers, potatoes, peanuts, and the like.

With chili, more flavors and gourmet options are available.

Potatoes are extremely productive and require so little land that they can be grown even on dry land.

Once potatoes are planted in Datang, they can provide a lot of food every year!

At that time, with wheat, rice and potatoes, even if the number of people in the Tang Dynasty increased several times, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of food.

As for peanuts, they can be used to extract oil.

Now the steam engine has been built, and the oil pressing equipment is more advanced.

As long as the peanuts are brought back to be planted, the people of Datang will also be able to eat peanut oil.

In addition, there are many seeds that the Tang Dynasty does not have and need to be brought back from other continents.

Li Ke has prepared a booklet with graphics and detailed introductions about various crops.

At that time, as long as they look for it according to this booklet, they will definitely be able to bring it back.

As long as you go there, you can establish a stronghold there, and then open up the connection between Datang and the New World.

When Datang has opened up sea connections with all continents, 333 will be able to send a large number of people there.

At that time, the era of great navigation will officially kick off!

"His Royal Highness King Qin, I would like to go!"

"I would like to go to sea to find out the route for Datang!"

"His Royal Highness, I promise to complete the task!"

""

After hearing Li Ke's words, countless soldiers below shouted loudly that they were willing to go!

There are several reasons why everyone responded so enthusiastically.
