Everyone hates Apocalypse, but everyone longs to be a member of Apocalypse.
This feeling is like you clearly knowing that joining Tianqi is betraying Zhongzhou, but the days when everyone in Tianqi is rich are what all ordinary people long for.
It can be said that the emergence of the apocalypse has awakened the consciousness of all ordinary people.
At this time, Liu Qingge, who had just completed the entire overseas channel of the Huanghuali project, was already preparing to launch a cross-border tourism project.
Once this project is launched, it will not only make more and more people aware of Tianqi, but also bring additional tax revenue to Tianqi.
When Liu Qingge came to the shipyard, she happened to see Marco Polo. She walked forward with a smile and said, "I heard that our five-story luxury ferry is about to be built. Is it using new innovative technology this time?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is an encyclopedia I bought from a country called The Sun Never Sets. Their ships are driven by steam, which can greatly speed up our sailing speed. It originally took us five days to reach the Northern Desert. At the same speed, we can use our steamship to reach the Northern Desert in about two days."
Liu Qingge was overjoyed to hear this. The emergence of steamships can greatly shorten the shipping time, so that the fruits on their island can be sold to the outside world.
"Marco, you are amazing!"
"Thanks to your majesty's appreciation. If it weren't for your majesty, I don't know when my dream of sailing would come true." Marco Polo scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard Liu Qingge's praise.
"It doesn't have to be said, it's because you are talented Mark. You can become an excellent navigator regardless of whether I appear or not."
The discovery of islands and overseas resources brought immense wealth. Marco Polo was also a man of great integrity. The rich returns brought by his voyage were enough to shock the entire Chinese continent.
"Your Majesty, maybe Mark would have had a chance of success without meeting Your Majesty, but he would never be as successful as he is today. I owe my success today to His Majesty's foresight and open-mindedness. The emergence of any new thing requires a large amount of money to be invested. Verification. I just mentioned my idea to His Majesty, but I didn’t expect to receive so much financial support from His Majesty.”
"Mark, the reason why I believe in you so much is because I can see the light in Mr. Mark's eyes. This kind of light is not something ordinary people can have. I believe that Mark is driven by his dreams and is destined to do a great job." ." Liu Qingge said with a smile.
When Marco Polo heard Liu Qingge's words, he was even more grateful to Liu Qingge.
There are always thousands of horses, but there is only one Bole.
There are so many people in this world who have dreams, but how many of them have actually reached this pinnacle?
Undoubtedly, Marco Polo felt that he was lucky. He really did not expect that he could obtain in a short time what many navigators obtained in a lifetime.
Whether it's money, status, or dreams, he got it all!
"Your Majesty, today we will officially launch the water for the first time for trial use. Your Majesty, please experience it yourself."
When many ministers heard Marco Polo's invitation, they were shocked and said: "No, your Majesty must not do it. Such a dangerous thing as a trial voyage is not something that your Majesty, with a lot of money, can try."
"Yes, Your Majesty must never do such a high-risk thing."
"This is the first time for everyone to see this so-called steam engine. We don't know whether this thing is safe or not. It's better not to try it easily. It won't be too late for Your Majesty to get on it when it's time to sail."
Marco Polo didn't expect that he just wanted Liu Qingge as an investor to be the first to experience the steam ferry. He didn't expect that he would be opposed by so many ministers. He was a little embarrassed on his face, but he didn't say much. say what.
Liu Qingge saw Marco Polo's dilemma and said loudly: "Needless to say, I believe Mr. Mark, even the steamer testing the water is equipped with enough lifeboats, what do you have to object to this? It’s not a dangerous thing.”
"Your Majesty is like this. If your Majesty's relatives participate in the launch, if the launch fails this time, they will definitely be ridiculed by many people. Therefore, Your Majesty should not get involved. After all, it is normal for the first voyage to fail. In case of a blow, The enthusiasm of all the craftsmen would be bad.”
"Yes, Master Yan is right!"
"I also think Master Yan is right!"
Liu Qingge squinted his eyes. This Yan Youzhi always seemed to be thinking about himself, but if he looked carefully, there was always something wrong with Yan Youzhi's words.
"Master Yan, if I have already said that I want to go, but change my words because I am afraid that the voyage will fail, wouldn't this be detrimental to our morale?" Liu Qingge looked at Yan Youzhi with extremely dangerous eyes.
Yan Youzhi seemed not to see the murderous intent in Liu Qingge's eyes, and said without changing his expression: "I am doing this for your Majesty's benefit. If your Majesty cannot understand my painstaking efforts, then no one in the world will understand me. "
"Yan Youzhi, what you said here will destroy the confidence of the entire Navigation Department. Please know how to measure it, Mr. Yan, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Liu Qingge usually calls himself "I" with the ministers and never emphasizes the difference between monarch and minister. Now he directly changed his self-identity to Yan Youzhi, and he was obviously really angry.
Yan Youzhi heard the chill in Liu Qingge's words, broke into a cold sweat and did not dare to say anything.
"Ministers, don't worry. This steamship is a very common and common technology. I hope all ministers can look at this matter normally, so I hope everyone will stop talking. Mark is willing to give everyone a message." If the vote fails, I am willing to resign as Director of the Navigation Department." Marco Polo said solemnly.
At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Marco Polo, but they did not expect that Marco Polo would use his title as a guarantee.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of navigation knows that it is normal to have problems when testing water for the first time, but I didn't expect that Marco Polo could be so confident.
Immediately, the voice of opposition gradually died down.
Liu Qingge made the decision directly: "Then it's decided, I'll get on the boat in person later!"
"Your Majesty is welcome to come aboard and observe."
"Your Majesty is welcome to come aboard and observe."
"..."
The sound of rushing came from not far away. It turned out that all the shipping craftsmen were paying attention to what was happening here.
Liu Qingge smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone!"
"With His Majesty's concern, everyone is very motivated!"
"That's right! We are very motivated! We are not afraid of hard work!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
For a time, there was an endless stream of thanks.
Everyone was excited that Liu Qingge agreed to come on board to participate in the first water test!
