So he immediately bowed his hands behind the screen and said, "I've met Miss Zhang! I'm afraid I will have to give you some advice from Miss Zhang in the future. Please make it clear!"
Behind the screen, Miss Zhang said in a steady voice: "Mr. Wang, you are so polite! The little girl will definitely be able to rely on Mr. Wang in the future. I hope you will try your best!"
When Wang Hongrui heard Miss Zhang's steady voice, he knew he was on the right track, so he just said "You're welcome!" and happily sat back on the chair.
At this time, Liu Haojia said: "There is one more thing I want to make clear to you. When you use money in the future, you need to write a plan in advance. What you want to do and how much money you need, report it directly to Jingshi Bank! The big shopkeeper of Jingshi Bank She is my fiancée!”
Now Li Wenliang and Wang Hongrui were even more surprised! Li Wenliang in particular regretted not following Wang Hongrui in saluting just now! Because he knew that future funding for the Navy would also come from the Capital Bank, so would he be judged for neglecting Miss Zhang just now?
At this point, Liu Haojia said slowly: "Okay, everything I should tell you has been arranged. I will go to Denglai with the ship tomorrow! I hope you will abide by your responsibilities and do your work step by step!"
Several people bowed together and agreed. At the same time, they also knew that Liu Haojia was seeing off guests, so they naturally resigned.
After they exited, Liu Hao Jiajia walked behind the screen and saw Miss Zhang holding her chest and gasping for air, while Cai Luan blushed and fanned Miss Zhang with a handkerchief! When he saw this, he immediately asked: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Miss Zhang blushed and said, "Actually, this is my first time taking charge of such an important matter, and I'm talking to them directly, so I'm a little nervous!"
Hearing this, Liu Haojia laughed and said: "What's so stressful about this? Just manage them as if they were subordinates of Jingshi Bank! Anyway, what they are really good at is military affairs, and my sister is better at other things! And after things are assigned, there will be more Just send someone to investigate!"
Miss Zhang said: "In this case, I will try my best to cope with it! But I hope my brother will come back soon, otherwise I will not feel confident!"
Liu Haojia said: "I don't want to leave Tianjin for too long, but this time I have to go to the south in person, so I can only work hard for you!"
Miss Zhang looked a little sad when she heard this! After all, she only has Liu Haojia to rely on now, but he will be gone for a long time, so she is naturally terrified! But she still cheered up and said: "Since my brother is leaving tomorrow, my little sister will cook in person today to practice for him!"
Liu Haojia said happily: "Okay! I can taste my sister's craftsmanship again! Thank you for your hard work, sister!"
Miss Zhang saw that Liu Haojia was happy and she was in a good mood, so she left the study with Cai Luan. Liu Haojia stayed to arrange official duties.
Early the next morning, Liu Haojia said goodbye to Miss Zhang and rushed to the dock with four servants. Li Wenliang is waiting on the dock. When he saw Liu Haojia with only four followers, he was quite moved. He felt that this attitude showed great trust in him!
After Li Wenliang stepped forward and saluted, Liu Haojia said: "Which ship should we take to Denglai?"
Li Wenliang pointed to a three-masted clipper ship not far behind him and said: "Young Marshal, this is the ship! This ship is a relatively new ship in Denglai! I just don't know if the Young Marshal has been on a ship before. ?”
Hearing this, Liu Haojia couldn't help but think of the past when he and his companions took various smuggling boats to cross the border. Then he shook his head helplessly and said: "I have never been on a ship, especially a sea-going ship! But according to what I think, you don't have to worry. I’m seasick!”
Li Wenliang secretly laughed in his heart, feeling that Liu Haojia was too confident! How can anyone not feel dizzy after taking a sea cruise for the first time? But he didn't point it out. At worst, he could just take more care of Liu Haojia on the ship! Thinking of this, he said: "Young Marshal, if there are no other instructions, let's board the ship early!"
Liu Haojia did everything he could and led people on board the ship. Then the ship set sail. At this time, the ship was very stable offshore. After Liu Haojia settled his servants, he asked Li Wenliang to take him to see the entire ship structure.
After Li Wenliang's introduction, Liu Haojia knew that the ship under his feet was a lucky ship. In fact, during the Ming Dynasty, especially in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, the shipbuilding capability was very strong and could be said to be unparalleled in the world! Zheng He’s seven voyages to the West are proof of this! In particular, the watertight compartments of Chinese ships are unique in the world!
In fact, China is the country with the oldest shipbuilding history in the world! In history, there were many types of sailing ships in China. Preliminarily, there are about a thousand types. There are as many as two to three hundred types of ships suitable for ocean navigation! Among them, Shachuan, Fuchuan and Guangzhou are the most famous.
The most widely used sand ship appeared relatively early, and its earliest appearance should be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period. A sand boat is a flat-bottomed boat. Its advantages are that it has a flat bottom, is not afraid of running aground, has good seaworthiness, and is very stable! Moreover, its draft is shallow, its resistance is small, and its sailing speed is not slow! The disadvantage is that the freeboard is relatively low, which makes it more disadvantageous during combat, so it is most suitable as a transport ship.
As for the Fu Chuan, it is a pointed-bottomed sea-going vessel, which was the most commonly used model for warships in ancient China. This kind of lucky boat has high freeboard, and its head and tail are raised high, which is helpful for ramming enemy ships and splitting water waves.
The whole building is divided into four levels, the bottom level is loaded with ballast, the second level is where soldiers live, the third level is the main operation site, and the top level is where the battles take place. Because the freeboard of his ship is relatively high, he can shoot at the enemy from a high position during combat, which is a great advantage!
At the same time, Fuchuan's teachings are high and sharp, with a strong impact device. When riding the wind and pressing down, it can directly hit and sink enemy ships. It is a real weapon at sea! The main ships used by Zheng He's fleet on his voyages to the West were called treasure ships, and his ship type was that of the Fu ship!
As for the structures of Guangzhou Shipbuilding and Fuzhou Shipbuilding, they are very similar, except that the freeboard is much lower. The only disadvantage is that it has poor wave resistance when sailing in deep sea, and it is easy to shake from side to side. This makes it difficult to use the firearms on the ship.
After understanding the complete history of ships and ships, Liu Haojia had a rough comparison of Chinese and foreign warships. If we compare cargo capacity and seaworthiness, of course Chinese-style ships are superior; but in terms of combat capabilities, Western-style warships have many cannons and powerful attack power, so they are naturally superior!
So now he is wondering whether he can combine the advantages of both ships to create a new warship. He was still trying to recall an article he had read in modern times. The article commented that in the age of sails, the best way to drive was to mix Chinese hard sails and Western soft sails.
