Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 436 Building A More Powerful Navy

Chapter 436: Create a more powerful navy

In fact, Ye Xuan still has some plans of his own.

That is, through this transformation, the craftsmen will be stimulated to carry out their own research and development.

After all, according to common sense, with the current equipment and a ship experiment, trains and cars should also be developed together.

Even though these things must be very crude, they can also greatly increase the speed of travel on land.

At present, there are still many people in the Shenzhen Bureau studying telephones, and they have even begun to study deeper principles and technical expansion.

Ye Xuan believes that when the steam engine is used on ships and becomes an energy source, it will definitely give enough inspiration to the craftsmen to start a new round of research and development.

Ye Xuan can say that and hopes that craftsmen will one day be able to break away from his ideas and explore more technological products on their own.

Only in this way will the world get better and better, instead of just replicating his era and constantly remaking it.

Ye Xuan was full of expectations, and the craftsmen lived up to their expectations.

When Ye Xuan presented the basic principles and his plan on paper, 17 of the craftsmen immediately had an idea.

So, a brainstorm came into being, but none of these people had ever been exposed to ships. In this era, the only people who had been exposed to ships were actually carpenters, and they were not core members of the Divine Creation Bureau at all.

So after some thinking, Ye Xuan decided to suggest to Zhu Yuanzhang to elevate the status of a group of craftsmen and let them join this research and development.

At the same time, Ye Xuan also suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang gather a group of craftsmen from all walks of life among the people to prepare for emergencies.

For example, this time, if some of the previous skills did not require carpentry, and there is a shipping company near Yingtian Mansion, and there are many sailors among them, I am afraid that the experiment will only remain a castle in the air.

With the addition of carpenters, another benefit was also revealed to Ye Xuan.

That is, many things that were previously limited to pictures were quickly displayed as models after his descriptions and carvings by craftsmen.

In some subsequent experiments, this tradition was retained. Even if there were differences between craftsmen, woodworkers would be invited to carve models to verify its feasibility.

For a time, carpentry seemed to have become an indispensable part among craftsmen.

However, these are all things for later. At least for now, when Zhu Yuanzhang completed his inspection, the news he received was that Ye Xuan had already communicated with the craftsmen and could complete the test.

In order to ensure that everything went smoothly instead of working behind closed doors, Zhu Yuanzhang even issued an order directly without Ye Xuan's request, calling up navy warships and ships of the same type as the exploration team that went out to sea for research and testing by the Repair Bureau. .

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang even deployed a thousand navy soldiers to cooperate and protect the craftsmen.

Such an honor is unique, and the reward for the craftsmen is more diligent research.

In this regard, Ye Xuan just sighed, but didn't say much.

After arranging everything, Zhu Yuanzhang directly asked Ye Xuan to return to the palace with him.

This time, Ye Xuan did not refuse. He also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang came to him for matters related to Australia, but he ended up being turned into a shipbuilder.

If some corresponding suggestions are not given, it will indeed be difficult to satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang, and it may even be suspected of deception.

Therefore, after returning to the palace, before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Ye Xuan took the initiative to describe Australia's customs, customs, and matters needing attention in as detailed a manner as possible.

Listening to Ye Xuan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more excited.

He never thought that Ye Xuan could be so knowledgeable and know all about newly discovered places.

If it were anyone else, he might have started to doubt it, but for Ye Xuan, he could maintain enough trust.

At this point, even Zhu Biao envied Ye Xuan.

After Ye Xuan finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and sighed helplessly.

"It is really disappointing that such a vast place cannot be used by our Ming Dynasty. Now we can only hope that the Divine Construction Bureau can complete the production of the things quickly, or put them into production, so that the navy can go out as soon as possible!"

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Ye Xuan also felt helpless.

In the original trajectory, Columbus conquered the October Continent without bringing many people with him.

He believed that the Ming army could complete a colonization with a thousand soldiers.

It's just that this kind of thing doesn't seem very stable and reliable. If you're not careful, it may turn into a massacre.

It was precisely for this reason that Ye Xuan did not directly advise Zhu Yuanzhang.

Distance and cost are just one reason, but more deeply, Ye Xuan actually feels that during the process of making ships, the exploration team can understand the customs, customs and even the language of these areas, thus reducing unnecessary troubles.

In Ye Xuan's memory, these people have no concept of country at all, and even ethnicity does not exist.

If it can be guided to directly serve the Ming Dynasty and recruit some tribes for the exploration team, the Ming Dynasty will reduce a lot of expenses.

Moreover, these natives must carry local viruses, and the same goes for the Ming army.

He is very worried that premature large-scale contact and communication may lead to the spread of unpredictable diseases, even plagues.

But he couldn't tell Zhu Yuanzhang clearly about this, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would only become more anxious and even take unnecessary actions.

After some hesitation and thinking, Ye Xuan finally made up his mind.

He gave Zhu Yuanzhang the simplest tolerant policy, allowing local people to fight among themselves and use purchasing, trading and other methods to exchange for population and property to gain profits.

Under the current circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally had no choice but to accept it.

As a result, the news was quickly spread back to Australia under the leadership of the messenger.

As for the Ming Dynasty, the Divine Creation Bureau was working hard on research every day. With Ye Xuan's theoretical support, the Divine Creation Bureau was making rapid progress, and the first batch of experimental products was produced in a very short period of time.

And Ye Xuan, after settling everything, returned home, closed the door to thank guests, and became a wealthy and idle man.

Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of this was to avoid suspicion, but Ye Xuan himself knew that he was just doing it for leisure.

The current appearance of Australia makes it impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to touch him, and the Divine Creation Bureau cannot do without him.

Under all circumstances, he is absolutely safe, so why does he need to avoid suspicion?

In the following period, Ye Xuan would go to the Shenzhen Bureau every few days to check on the progress, and Zhu Yuanzhang would also compile some necessary information from time to time and invite Ye Xuan to analyze and discuss the management of the newly acquired land. strategy.

Ye Xuan just came up with ideas, but he was happy and free.
