Seeing Luo Zhang's arrival, Chang Le was very happy. He took Luo Zhang's arm and walked forward. Like a lark beside Luo Zhang, he talked about the past few days. They were all trivial matters, but what Chang Le said was very happy. .
After all, this place is different from the palace. Everything is new to her. She can discover new things every day. However, Luo Zhang is too busy and has little time to accompany her. Today, she came and told her everything that happened these days. Listen to Luo Zhang.
Luo Zhang didn't find it troublesome, but listened patiently to what Chang Le said, and occasionally asked a few questions, which made Chang Le even happier.
Whether it is Gao Yang, Mei Niang or Chang Le, they are all women that Luo Zhang really likes. Luo Zhang is extremely patient with the women he likes.
It wasn't until Chang Le was tired from walking that Luo Zhang helped Chang Le back to the house to rest. But he didn't stay here longer and went directly to Sun Simiao's house.
When they arrived at Sun Simiao's house, Sun Simiao was drying herbs in the yard, and Princess Yicheng was helping.
These herbs were all brought by Eunuch Huang from the palace on the day Gaoyang was born. There were several carts of them. Luo Zhang didn’t understand the storage of medicinal materials. It didn’t matter if he didn’t understand. Someone understood. There was a ready-made miracle doctor at home. That's the right person for him.
Seeing Luo Zhang coming, Sun Simiao stood up and clapped his hands and said: "Hurry up and make tea. Your grandpa Sun, I will collect the medicinal materials for you. I am so tired that I can't even drink the tea. My back is sore. I really owe you, boy." !”
Princess Yicheng burst out laughing at the side, then her face turned a little red, and she didn't know what she thought of.
Luo Zhang, as a veteran and experienced driver, couldn't understand the story behind Princess Yicheng's smile. He coughed dryly, pretended not to know and walked to the stone table, boiled water and prepared to make tea.
After hearing Princess Yicheng's laughter, Sun Simiao's old face also turned red. He glanced at Luo Zhang who was as if nothing had happened, then washed his hands, walked to sit opposite Luo Zhang, and sat down.
Luo Zhang's movements of making tea are very smooth. After all, he invented the brewing method of Dahongpao. Even the tea leaves were prepared by him through the system. It is completely different from the Tang Dynasty method of brewing tea with foam and various spices.
Sun Simiao and the others originally drank that kind of tea, but after coming into contact with Luo Zhang's Dahongpao, they were immediately attracted by the fragrant and sweet Dahongpao. They drank a few Dahongpao teas every day. , I feel uncomfortable all over.
After a while, Luo Zhang brewed a pot of Dahongpao and poured it into three cups. The fragrance immediately overflowed. Smelling the fragrance, Sun Simiao couldn't help but nod.
Sipping the tea, Luo Zhang said: "Grandpa Sun, I have to leave the matter of Mei Niang to you."
Sun Simiao waved his hand and said: "That girl is nice, don't worry, I will help!"
"Besides, you have so many medicinal materials here, but they are all good, so nothing will happen to you!"
After receiving such a positive answer from Sun Simiao, Luo Zhang felt relieved. After all, Mei Niang was too young and her body was weak. He was really afraid that something bad might happen to her.
What he said to Mei Niang was just to comfort her, saying that he wasn't worried would be a lie.
After chatting with Sun Simiao for a while, Luo Zhang stood up and left, called Wu Shaobin, and went straight to the shipyard. He was busy with his child's birthday yesterday and he didn't go. He couldn't leave behind today and had to rush to see the situation.
After all, the first high-sea ship is an experiment. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, you have to find a reason. There is no room for sloppiness.
It was already afternoon when Luo Zhang arrived at the shipyard, and the craftsmen working in the shipyard were very busy.
Seeing this scene, Luo Zhang couldn't help but nodded. It was obvious that the craftsmen also knew the importance and knew that they were doing something that could be recorded in history. These were what Luo Zhang had instilled in them on weekdays, giving them a sense of A sense of pride and honor. Only when you work like this can you be motivated, just like in front of you.
Seeing Luo Zhang's arrival, the master craftsman Ma Lao hurriedly came to greet him and said: "Your Majesty, there is something special at home, just leave it to me! I promise there will be no omissions!"
"This is a long-sea ship, so I can't help but care about it!" Luo Zhang sighed.
Then Luo Zhang stepped forward and looked around the ship, checking the construction status of every part. In front of a master shipbuilder like him, Luo Zhang could spot any flaw with just one glance. As a master craftsman, Mr. Ma was also amazed and admired Luo Zhang.
Think about it, if it weren't for Luo Zhang, they wouldn't be able to build ships not to mention distant sea ships, even offshore ships. The people along the coast of the Tang Dynasty are afraid that they are still suffering from the abuses of the Japanese and Gaoguli people.
As Luo Zhang walked, he talked about some omissions. After finishing the tour, most of an hour had passed.
According to Luo Zhang's estimation, in a few days, the high-sea ship can be built. If it is successfully launched, it will be easy later. Just use the current ship as a template and continue to build it. By then, large quantities of it will be built. The long-sea ships built can replace the offshore ships. Even if the fleet of the Food Kingdom comes again, Luo Zhang believes that his high-sea ships will definitely surprise the people of the Food Kingdom!
After visiting the shipyard, Luo Zhang was not idle. He went to the Lysilicon Mine again. Ocean ships are important, and artillery is equally important. Without artillery, relying only on iron lumps to attack the enemy would make the attack power a bit weak. , even if you win, there will still be losses.
In this battle with the people of Dashi, more than a thousand naval officers were lost, which made him heartbroken for several days.
This is not just more than a thousand people, but more than a thousand families.
On the day he received the news, Luo Zhang asked Zhao Tianhu to allocate more than 100,000 taels of silver to each household of soldiers who died in battle. Each household was given a full 1,000 taels of silver, which was a generous treatment.
This was the first time in the Tang Dynasty. For this matter, many generals complained, accusing Luo Zhang of breaking the rules. Each soldier killed in battle had a thousand taels. What would they do with the soldiers who died in the future?
Luo Zhang didn't care about this. You can say whatever you like. Labor and capital are rich, and labor and capital only give so much to the soldiers who died in battle. Are you going to bite me?
Facing Luo Zhang's helpless look, Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry. Indeed, Luo Zhang paid for the money out of his own pocket. Even if he wanted to take care of it, he couldn't stop it. Could it be that Luo Zhang, you can't give so much? Is this bad for you?
If these words were spoken, wouldn't they chill the hearts of the soldiers?
Fortunately, this incident only spread within a small area and did not spread. The impact was not large. In the end, the incident was settled, but secretly, it still made many soldiers jealous.
A large number of adult men in their families actively requested to join the Royal Navy. For a time, the Royal Navy barracks were packed with people.
