Chapter 390: navy! navy!

Time went to August.
In the fields around Lujiazhuang and Jinshanwei, the lush crops have begun to head, and the harvest is very gratifying.
The chickens, ducks and geese farming organized by Xingerlianer, under the artificial incubation technology, the number of chickens, ducks and geese has increased dramatically, reaching tens of thousands.
The scale of pig breeding is also growing, and the piglets have already given birth once. Although it has not yet reached the standard for slaughter, there are already thousands of pigs.
The reproduction of cows and horses is relatively slow. At present, cows and mares are in the gestation period and have not given birth.
During this period of time, the guns in the workshop area have already completed their production tasks. Ten thousand rifles, ten thousand pistols, one thousand artillery pieces, and countless bullets, shells, grenades, and arsenals have been filled.
The progress of recruit training is also constantly advancing. The first batch of 1,000 recruits has completed three months of military training and has initially formed combat effectiveness. The second batch of 4,000 recruits also trained for two months.
During this period of time, thanks to the powerful deterrence of Jinshanwei, Songjiang Mansion and surrounding prefectures and counties no longer dared to come forward to make trouble, and the environment was very stable and peaceful.
While stepping up military training, Lu Li organized research and development in logistical support. He carried out many reforms in terms of military uniforms, food and grass, and transportation, and the results were quite obvious.
Special transport vehicles, new-style military uniforms, individual rations, and other materials have all entered the mass production stage.
In August, it was already time for the imperial examinations.
Nanzhili’s township examination was held in Jinling.
This time, Lu Li still took the exam. For nothing else, Juren's brand is much harder than Xiucai. With his fame and fame, Lu Li, a military officer, would not be rejected or despised in front of the civilian officials.
The social environment was like this, Lu Li had no choice but to adapt.
On the ninth day of August, Lu Li took a class of guards and drove several carriages all the way to Jinling to participate in the Nanzhili Township Examination.
The procedure of the imperial examination is still a routine.
Search and enter the arena, get the number plate, enter the number house, issue papers, and start the test.
This time, Lu Li was fortunate enough to encounter another test question that he had read eight-part essays in later generations.
This eight-legged essay is the only true copy of the No. 1 scholar in later generations. The examination papers of Zhao Bingzhong, the number one scholar in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
When Lu Li was studying cultural relic identification with Old Han, he also studied this eight-part essay.
Now that he encountered the same exam questions and remembered this number one scholar paper, Lu Li naturally didn't bother to use his brains and copied it directly.
After taking the test easily, Lu Li didn't pay attention to the results at all.
If the champion of the Wanli year fails the Juren examination in the Jiajing dynasty, then it is definitely a shady, and the Ming dynasty still finishes counting the ball!
Lu Li was concerned about another matter.
Fighting against Japanese pirates, or even fighting against Tatars, or all armies in the world, Lu Li is confident enough to push the world horizontally, unstoppable.
However... Japanese pirates can go to sea!
In addition to the Japanese pirates, there are also Western Franco-robots who are vigorously launching a large sailing movement.
Nowadays, the tentacles of the Spanish duck have reached Southeast Asia. At this time next year, the Grape Duck Man will enter the Mirror (Macau).
Therefore, it is extremely urgent to build a fleet and build maritime power as soon as possible.
Lu Li came to Jinling this time mainly for the shipyard under the Jinling Ministry of Industry.
At that time, Jinling Shipyard built the world's largest invincible fleet. Zheng He’s treasure ship was built here.
Today, the treasure ship has long been demolished, and the workshop has long been dilapidated. Even the treasure ship’s drawings and Zheng He’s nautical charts, navigation techniques, and nautical records were all burned by Liu Daxia, a famous official of the Qingliu.
Fortunately, based on Lu Li's knowledge level, it doesn't matter if you don't have these things. The chart is drawn by yourself. Lu Li can also figure out the most important position and distance in navigation technology.
Even if Lu Li is required to design a ship, although Lu Li is not specialized in this, it is not too difficult to design a sea ship based on the principles of fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, material mechanics and buoyancy.
The only difficulty is...no artisans!
Lu Li was able to design a warship theoretically, and to build it, he could rely on craftsmen.
Upon arriving at the site of the Jinling Shipyard, what Lu Li saw was a rundown.
Jinling Shipyard, which was able to produce the world's largest sea-going ship and possesses the world's strongest shipbuilding technology, is now... almost like a barren mountain.
The dilapidated buildings and the overgrown grounds were bleak. When Lu Li and his party passed by, they could even see a few wild rabbits scurrying around.
After turning around the ruined Jinling Shipyard site, Lu Li did not find a half-person figure.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the craftsmen who built the treasure ship will naturally not survive now. Their descendants have long since fallen apart and disappeared.
Lu Li sighed and shook his head helplessly. Can only find another way!
Nowadays, there are quite a few people going out to sea from all over the Southeast, and there should be many people who know about shipbuilding. Although they are all in the hands of local powerful gentry, but...under the barrel of the gun, why can't you get it? If it doesn't work, then you can only do it aggressively.
"Who are you?"
When Lu Li turned to leave, he suddenly heard a loud shout.
Turning his head and looking at it, a beggar in dilapidated clothes, leaning on a bamboo pole, stood on the shore of the shrubs on the bank of the river in the distance, watching Lu Li and the others warily.
"This officer Jinshanwei Commander Lu Li, who are you?"
Lu Li reported the history and asked the beggar again.
"I...I am..."
A panic flashed in the beggar's eyes. He raised his head and glanced at Lu Li's party, then...turned around and ran.
"stop!"
Lu Li roared and rushed out quickly.
After finally seeing a living person at the old site of Jinling Shipyard, Lu Li naturally couldn't let him run away like this.
With Lu Li's 100-meter sprint speed, he quickly caught up with the beggar.
Reaching out and grabbing, Lu Li grabbed the beggar, pressed it down, and fell to the ground.
It's just...Why does it feel soft? Could this guy still be a girl?
"what……"
The beggar who was pushed down by Lu Li looked like crazy, struggling desperately, even biting Lu Li's arm with his mouth open.
Damn it! Are you afraid of not being a dog?
Lu Li quickly shrank his hands, avoiding this ferocious bite.
"Okay, okay. I'm not here to catch you!"
Lu Li let go of the beggar, and said quickly: "I just passed by here, not here to catch you."
"Bah! Dog officer!"
The beggar yelled again, staring at Luli glaringly, looking desperately.
"What you said is a bit general! The officials are not necessarily dog ​​officials, and the people are not necessarily simple and kind."
Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "Okay. I'm really not here to catch you. I'll ask you something, and then I will leave."
As he said, Lu Li pointed his finger at the ruined shipyard ruins, "You live here? Do you know, where are all the people who used to be here now?"
If you ask the government about the whereabouts of these craftsmen...no one knows at all, do you believe it?
"There has been no one here!"
Seeing that Lu Li was really not here to catch him (her?), the beggar stood up, patted the grass clippings on his body, and said, "Some people who lived here before have been transferred, some ran away, and some ...Dead, I am the last one to be alive."
This answer did not exceed Lu Li's expectations.
"Then... do you know where all the people who left have gone?"
Lu Li reached out and took out an ingot of silver and handed it to the beggar, "I want to invite man-made ships. Do you know where they are?"
"Do you want to build a ship?"
Reaching out to take the silver in Lu Li's hand, the beggar grinned and pointed his finger at himself, "See me for shipbuilding things! As long as you pay, I can build any ship. Even if you want to build a treasure ship."
"just you?"
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and deliberately said, "You still know how to build ships? Origami boats are pretty much the same."
"Captain Bao is forty-four feet long, 18 feet wide, six masts, and a giant tree in southern Yunnan as the keel..."
Agitated by Lu Li, the beggar opened his mouth and popped out a series of treasure ship data.
"stop!"
Lu Li interrupted the beggar with a wave of his hand, with a smile on his face: "Report the origin of your name. I will give you one hundred taels of silver every month. Please help me build a ship."
"One hundred taels per month?"
The beggar's eyes widened, and he was stunned by the huge monthly salary.
"My name is Zheng Yuan, my ancestor Zheng He!"
The beggar raised his head and his face was proud.
Are you kidding me? If I didn't know that Zheng He was an eunuch, I would almost believe it!
Lu Li curled his lips, "Okay, don't be nonsense! Tell me the story honestly. The Sanbao has no descendants!"
"Who said there are no descendants?"
The beggar yelled, "My ancestor Ma Wenming adopts and inherits the incense of the Zheng family. We are naturally descendants of the Zheng family." (Ma Wenming's adopted name is too scary to write.)
It seems...like it's true?
Zheng He was originally named Ma Sanbao. After he became famous, it was normal to find a nephew from Ma's family to adopt him.
only……
Lu Li looked down at the "Descendants of Zheng He", feeling a little helpless. Zheng He, whose name goes down in history, is so confused by his descendants, which is really speechless.
After thinking about it, this is normal.
Under the uproar of the "qingliu celebrities", the treasure ship was dismantled, the workshop was destroyed, the drawings and records were all burned, and Zheng He's descendants might not have a good life.
"Zheng Yuan, right?"
Lu Li smiled at the beggar and nodded, "One hundred taels a month, follow me! Build me a ship."
"it is good!"
The beggar looked at the silver in his hand and then at Lu Li. He felt that Lu Li, a handsome fellow, should not look like a bad person.
Well, face value is justice.
Good looks are not bad people? Who told you that!
Lu Li shrugged, waved his sleeves, turned and left, taking away only one beggar!
...
Back at the inn, let the beggar wash up, change his clothes and come out, Lu Li almost brightened his blindness.
This Zheng Yuan has an exquisite and three-dimensional face, and her skin is delicate and fair. She has the feeling of a mixed-race beauty.
"Do you... have an alien blood?"
Lu Li couldn't help but asked Zheng Yuan.
"You are a foreign race, you are a barbarian!"
Zheng Yuan jumped into thunder when she heard this alien bloodline, and shouted at Lu Li.
Well, in the Ming Dynasty, it was the biggest insult to say that anyone had an alien blood.
Even at the risk of offending Lu Li, Zheng Yuan couldn't help cursing.
"Sorry, I said the wrong thing!"
Lu Li understood this kind of Yanhuang Guizhou's mentality, and even some agreed with this mentality, and quickly apologized to Zheng Yuan.
We have no racial discrimination, because...In our opinion, all but ourselves are barbarians, making no difference at all. (laugh)
Lu Li's apology shocked Zhang Yuan.
"My lord, it's me who is presumptuous!"
Zhang Yuan quickly apologized to Lu Li.
"Okay. Okay."
Lu Li waved his hand, "Tell me about shipbuilding!"
Next, Lu Li and Zheng Yuan had a detailed discussion about shipbuilding.
During the conversation, Lu Li discovered that Zheng Yuan was really a genius with high IQ, and all kinds of ship data and shipbuilding craftsmanship were so precious.
"Where did you learn these things?"
Lu Chengtou was a little curious and couldn't help asking.
"Our Zheng family is famous for its maritime affairs. The family has been looking forward to one day when the country opens the sea and sails again. This knowledge is passed on from generation to generation."
Having said this, Zheng Yuan looked a little sad, "However, hundreds of years have passed, and the sailing is far away. The Zheng family...I am the only one left."
"It's not far away!"
Lu Li nodded towards Zheng Yuan, with a serious expression on his face, "Build a ship for me! We will sail to the ocean!"
"Ok!"
Zheng Yuan looked up at Lu Li and nodded seriously.
...
Having harvested a professional talent in sailing and shipbuilding, Lu Li is already very satisfied with the harvest in this industry.
Then... Lu Li passed the exam smoothly.
A few days later, the Nanzhili Township Examination was published, and Lu Li passed the township examination with the second place in the township examination, and won the fame of being elected.
The reason why he was second, not first, was only because Lu Li already had an official position.
In order to avoid suspicion, the chief examiner knocked out a name for Lu Li's "Top Scholar" article and placed it in second place.
Lu Li himself didn't care about the fact that ~EbookFREE.me~ was able to gain fame as an example, it was enough for Lu Li.
With the status of Juren, even in the period when the civil was noble and the military was inferior, Lu Li, the commander of Jinshanwei, didn't need to kneel to the civil official.
Juren in the exam, also got the second place. Lu Li naturally received a lot of banquets.
The communication between these literati is not important to Lu Li, nor is it meaningful. With this time to talk to them in business, it is better to go home and train soldiers.
Rejecting all kinds of banquets, all kinds of literati who were looking for flowers and asking Liu, Lu Li returned to Huating County with a group of people.
The goal has been achieved by giving one's fame.
Next, Lu Li was about to start building warships and training the navy.
At this time, Lu Li regretted a bit. In the astronaut plot, why didn't he go to the navy to play around?
