Chapter 601

Li Qing walked through the boiling snowflakes and entered the bedroom.

The surrounding maids hurried to help her beat the snowflakes on her body and wipe the water stains on her cheeks.

After cleaning up, Li Qing sat down on the recliner and stuffed his hand into Su Lu to keep warm.

"Just now I heard you say you're going to have dumplings. Isn't Daya here? Why don't you let people eat some delicacies and give people dumplings."

The cotton padded robe was very warm. Although it was snowing heavily, Su Lu was warm. Looking at the boiling snow, Su Lu smiled and said:

"I'm talking about dumplings, not this dumpling."

"On the East Sea, the big ships of the British have been provoked for one month in a row. We don't have fighting ships. Only some small sampans for training the navy are not enough to hit the ships of the British."

"Our ships are too poor for the British. If we want to defeat the maritime hegemony of the British, we must make as many fighting ships on the sea as dumplings in the pot."

Li Qingwen confessed Su Lu with a glance: "then you can directly say that you should build more big ships and make dumplings. Thanks to your metaphor."

"Hey, let's discuss something."

Li Qing leaned against Su Lu with a smile on her cheek. "I'm tired of going to court these days. Go and preside over the court for me for a few days."

"No way"

Su Lu refused without hesitation. "The previous dynasty is the business of the emperor. I am a prince. I can make do with the war. The previous dynasty is determined not to succeed."

"Besides, those courtiers I cleaned up were obedient and didn't even have a thorn. I can't stand hearing them buzzing."

Li Qing was disappointed when he heard the speech. Going to the court was really a fidgety thing. He didn't think much before. Since Su Lu presided over the court for himself for several months and had no burden on his shoulders, Li Qing became more and more reluctant to go to the court.

It's no fun to wake up and take control of the world.

The two men discussed the politics of the son Dynasty for a while. Li Qing got a lot of suggestions from Su Lu. Then he got up and went to the palace to see his daughter.

The next day when Li Qinggang went to court, he just sat down on the throne, and Zhao Pu, the Minister of the Ministry of war, went out to play.

"Your Majesty, the governor's office of the Wangjiang naval force hastened to announce that an English fighting ship collided with a large ship in Han China that entered the Wangjiang port from the inland river, resulting in many damage to the ship's hull and almost sank overseas of Wangjiang."

"If you let the Taixi people go unchecked, things will happen in the long run."

Li qingwenyan thought of Su Lu's words, but he still lacks a bucket ship. If he has the same big ship, he can drive out directly to see if his British dare to hit his big ship.

"Can there be casualties? Send a letter to Su Ping. If the British dare to be arrogant again, don't worry. Pull out our newly built fighting ship and fight."

Zhou Ping, the Minister of the Ministry of war, hurried out of the class: "Your Majesty, no, the newly built Yudou ship is the first big ship in China, which is still far from the big ship of the British. If we really fight at sea, we will suffer."

Several generals of the staff office also spoke one after another to dissuade them.

Li Qing is a little upset. There are still few ships in his family. If there are more than a dozen large ships, you still need to buckle and search like this.

"The Lord is right. I'd better have dumplings."

Li Qing sighed heartily.

Under the imperial rank, a group of courtiers were confused and forced to eat dumplings. What does the king mean.

Qian Qianyi left the class and said shakily:

"Your Majesty, it's such a big event. I suggest you ask the Lord. The Lord has been in charge of the army for many years and has a lot of experience in the war. Whether we want to fight or fight this war is just a matter for an army God like the Lord to grasp."

Everyone nodded when they heard the speech, and several ministers agreed with the chamberlains one after another.

Zhou Yuan went out of class, "Your Majesty, autumn planting in all States and counties has been completed, and the grain output of all localities has been summarized. Shazhou has ranked first in grain output with 3 million kg for three consecutive years, and the grain output of other prefectures is here."

Changning went down and presented the memorial. After Li Qing read it, he immediately smiled. This year is another bumper harvest year. There is no need to worry that someone will starve to death.

"Now it's winter, and heavy snow is beginning to fall across the country. It is ordered that all prefectures and counties should strictly patrol and not let our Han people die of cold and hunger."

Li Qingfen said, waved his hand and motioned Zhou Yuan to step back.

Xiao Cong suddenly stepped out of the line and asked:

"Your Majesty, I can't understand it. What's the relationship between the dumplings in this pot and the Wangjiang water war? But the king's generation of military gods never say useless flowers. Please clarify what the dumplings mean."

Li Qing smiled. It didn't seem that he was too stupid, but that the metaphor of the LORD was too obscure, but if he knew it, it would be enough image.

"When the dumplings float in the pot, is it like a big boat on the water?"

Li Qing looked at Xiao Cong with a smile.

Xiao Cong patted his thigh and his face was full of suddenly realized expressions.

"I see!"

"China's Han Dynasty is not close to the sea and has never paid attention to shipbuilding. If the prince hadn't summoned the sailors in Wenjiang, we Han Dynasty wouldn't even have a boat that can walk in the inland river. Although the prince also ordered shipbuilding when the Wangjiang navy was established, it's a pity that there are no such skilled craftsmen in China."

"Up to now, we have only built a bucket ship. If we can build as many bucket ships as a pot of dumplings, we don't have to be afraid of the bucket ship of the British."

"The great talent of the Lord, this metaphor is vivid and appropriate."

Li Qingshun said:

"The ordnance mansion has mastered the construction of fighting ships. What is lacking now is proficiency. I intend to ask the Ordnance Department to dispatch skilled craftsmen to build multiple Fighting Ships at the same time, so as to accumulate experience and speed up the formation of Wangjiang Navy. What do you think?"

Dong Cheng was the first to jump out: "Your Majesty has unparalleled wisdom. This plan is great and wonderful. I agree with you."

Zhou Ping did not hesitate to stand next to Dong Cheng: "I seconded."

The people of the military headquarters naturally support such acts as increasing the voice of the military headquarters.

When Zhou Yuan left the shift, he glanced at all of you at the military headquarters, and his tone was somewhat helpless:

"I should not object to enhancing the strength of the Navy, but your majesty knows that any ship is very expensive. If anything can be improved during construction, you can improve it in the next ship to create a better ship."

As like as two peas, the minister thought that only one ship could be built, one could be skilled craftsmen, and the other could leave an opportunity for the next improvement. Two of them were built together, and the second could only be exactly the same as the first one. What new ideas could be made?

Yu Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of industry, went out of the class and said, "I agree. What Lord Zhou said is very true. Practice makes perfect. If you build two ships at the same time, it's better to build one ship."

Li Qing is a little silly. Dong Cheng has no problem, but Zhou Yuan seems quite right.

So the question is, is it better to build one or two
