Chapter 36: Galen Ship

　　 The leisure time is easy. Since Li San went to Chang'an, half a month has passed in an instant.
　　 For half a month, the snow in Qingzhou was intermittent, and the snow in the city was enough to reach people’s knees, and the sun came out to melt the snow, and the roads were very muddy.
　　 In this way, the people in Qingzhou City are even more reluctant to come out and walk around.
　　 Xiao Ming has the same mind as the people, except for the supervision of the Equipment Department, he usually draws pictures in the palace. Today, the structure diagram of the Galen ship, the overall effect diagram, and the node diagram are all out.
　　 "Fortunately, I still have some art skills." Xiao Ming is triumphant. In modern times, his only hobby is drawing comics, so he is somewhat dabbled in drawing.
　　Although he only uses a brush, the pictures he drew are so beautiful, and the lines are clear and they are not lost to computer production.
　　 "His Royal Highness is so happy." Luluo brought her breakfast at this time.
　　 After the winter, the food is more monotonous. Breakfast is just two pieces of noodles, lump soup and the like, but there are many hunters at this time, because there are some venison and wild birds on the market.
　　 Now that Prince Qi's Mansion has silver, he can still eat meat every few times.
　　 "The boat drawn by this king is finally finished." Xiao Ming happily took the noodles and slipped his fingers on Luluo's little hand.
　　 Luluo glanced at Xiao Ming and got used to Xiao Ming's character.
　　 Looking at the ten pictures on the cutting board, Luluo stuck out her tongue, "His Royal Highness is really amazing. If this is Luluo, I don't know how many years and months can I draw so many."
　　 Xiao Ming is on his head, the drawings are out, and Zhang Liang should be moved.
　　 He believes that in terms of shipbuilding technology, Dayu State is still not behind at this stage, only solid thinking and technology are behind.
　　 "What's so difficult? Nothing happens at night. Come here, and my king will give me some advice and promise to make rapid progress." Xiao Ming said as he ate the cake.
　　 Luluo blushed and said: "His Royal Highness is going to tease Luluo again, so the servants will not be fooled." After speaking, Luluo pouted out of Xiao Ming's bedroom.
　　 Xiao Ming smirked and watched Luluo go back. After a quick breakfast, he took the drawings to the Department of Equipment.
　　 In this cold winter, I can't go to other places, and I can only travel between the Department of Equipment and the Palace.
　　 And taking advantage of the winter slack season, he also wants to set up some simple workshops so that they can be used after the beginning of spring.
　　 "Your Highness." Chen Qi bowed and said when Xiao Ming came over.
　　Different from other places. At this time, the equipment department was still a hot scene. The craftsmen and servants were in a hurry. In the equipment department's backyard, two blast furnaces more than three meters high rose from the ground.
　　 On both sides of the blast furnace are steps of tamped earth to be able to load materials. At the bottom, each blast furnace is connected to a huge wind box for blowing air.
　　 In front of the blast furnace, piled up some dark things, not coal, but coke that Xiao Ming asked Chen Qi to burn.
　　 "How is it, how is this blast furnace ironmaking test?" Xiao Ming asked.
　　The mature technology taught by Xiao Ming made Chen Qi avoid many detours, but the specific process still requires down-to-earth experiments.
"Back to your highness, this coke was not successful in burning paper at the beginning, and the iron dross out was too much. Later, we adjusted the temperature and made the carbon tighter to get qualified coke. We adjusted it again when making iron. It took many winds to produce qualified wrought iron with the amount of coke," Chen Qi said.
　　 Since Xiao Ming asked him to use blast furnace iron to make iron, he has been on it, and now he has finally succeeded in making wrought iron.
　　 Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, once the crucible is produced, these wrought iron can be made into qualified steel, and the strength of our machine tools can be strengthened."
　　 "Are we waiting for Steward Qian to come back? It stands to reason that Steward Qian has been out for twenty days, why didn't he come back?" Chen Qi is almost obsessed with craftsmanship, and can't help but feel a little anxious at this time.
　　 Xiao Ming frowned, and he was also a little worried. This is another road closure by heavy snow and thieves, so don't make any more accidents.
　　 glanced at the cooked discus he made, and Xiao Ming said: "No hurry, the equipment department has a lot of work, you can do other things first, by the way, how did Zhang Liang and others perform during this time?"
　　 Chen Qi seems to have forgotten Zhang Liang and the others. Xiao Ming said, "Your Highness, these people have been responsible for some hard work, but they are diligent. What is your Highness looking for?"
　　 Xiao Ming brightened the drawing in his hand, "For this, I am afraid that the Equipment Department will have to help produce some parts at that time."
　　 "His Royal Highness, can you let me see?" Chen Qi immediately scratched his head.
　　 The disposition of Chen Qi in Xiao Ming's heart did not tease him, and handed him the drawing.
　　 "This is a boat?" Chen Qi glanced briefly, and exclaimed, "But I have never seen this kind of boat."
　　 "This kind of ship was originally called the Galen ship. After many improvements by this king, now this king calls him Qingzhou ship." Xiao Ming said.
　　 Chen Qi probably turned it over and gave it back to Chen Qi, scratching his head and said, "His Royal Highness, I'm afraid I can't do anything about shipbuilding. I have never studied it before."
　　 "I'm not asking you to build ships, I just ask you to cooperate in the production of some parts." Xiao Ming smiled.
　　Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered, "I said, why did your Highness look for Zhang Liang, isn't his house used to run a shipbuilding shop? I'll call him here."
　　 After a while, Chen Qi brought Zhang Liang over, and Zhang Liang bowed and said, "The old slave has seen His Highness."
"Free gift." Xiao Ming helped Zhang Liang up and said: "Let you come over this time. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com This king has something to do with you. It is really a waste of your Zhang family to be coolies. Come, Take a look at this and determine if it can be made."
Zhang Liang was taken aback, and took the drawing of Xiao Ming. After looking at it, he was like a wooden chicken. It took a long time to go crazy and quickly flipped through every page of the drawing. At the end, Zhang Liang's hands could not stop shaking. stand up.
　　 "His Royal Highness, how did your Highness get this drawing? This kind of ship old slave is unheard of, but with the old slave's experience, this ship is very suitable for sea navigation." Zhang Liang said.
Xiao Ming nodded, and this sentence shows that Zhang Liang still has some skills and can see the technical content. He said, "Don't ask about this. This king only asks you if you are willing to make this for the king. ferry?"
　　 "Yes!" Zhang Liang said without hesitation: "It's better than staying here with ore cinder all day."
　　 "Well, in that case, this king will restore your shipbuilding workshop, but from now on, your shipbuilding workshop is an official business, and you have no contact with you. Would you like to?"
　　 Zhang Liang sighed and said: "The old slave now wears the body of sin and is also a slave, just to live up to his lifelong learning."
　　 "Well, in those few days, you and your people will go back to the shipyard. I will take care of the Qin family's affairs," Xiao Ming said.
　　 Zhang Liang’s previous shipyard had been held by the Qin family, and Xiao Ming had to ask for it back. This matter was decided, and the Equipment Department had nothing else to do, so he returned to the palace.
　　At this moment, the merchant ship of the Qin family slowly docked on the dock of Chang'an, a country in the country of Great Chongqing.
　　 Li San got off the boat and looked at the majestic Chang'an City not far away, dumbfounded.
