Li An’s current situation is like a person wearing a cotton-padded jacket, standing in the snow to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the huge steam ship is reliable enough, and there is no need to worry about such a large ship being overturned by the waves, so standing on the podium It will be a very interesting thing to appreciate Fleet fighting the waves.

These steam ships are all designed by Li An. He is very confident in his technology and believes that the ship he designed himself can fully withstand the test of the waves.

Huge waves hit one after another, hitting heavily on the Tang Army fleet, but the ships of the Great Tang fleet were already companion, facing the huge waves was fearless, and continued to move forward against the huge waves. Seems to be fighting with Heaven and Earth.

This is the power of science and technology, and also the power of a big country. If Li An came to this era as a small country, it would be difficult to put it into practice even if there are more ideas, because there are many good things that only large countries can afford Since small countries have limited resources, they cannot afford it anyway.

Li An is very grateful that he has come to a big country like Great Tang, and the Great Tang Empire should also be grateful for the existence of super talents like Li An, otherwise, no matter how big the country is, it will be difficult to achieve such great achievements.

It takes time to accumulate technology. Therefore, the current largest tonnage of the Great Tang sea ship is only a few thousand tons, and it is no problem to fully load 1000-5,000 tons. The largest steam gun ship is about 6,000 tons. Among them, the hull is large Part of the material is good wood, and stronger steel is used in the middle.

This is just the current situation. In the future, the technology will be advanced, and it is possible to manufacture sea ships with larger tonnages. 10000 tons is the minimum requirement, and very large ships of 100000 tons can be tried.

Because the tonnage of ships is still too small, when facing the threat of huge waves, they need to be locked together against the wind and waves. If a large ship of 100000 tons is built in the future, it will be completely ignored when facing the big winds and waves in front of us. .

“Minister Li, the wind and waves at this time are really big enough. Fortunately, before we left Great Tang, we made preparations for this. Otherwise, how many ships might we lose?”

An official said with a lingering fear.

Li An nodded and said: “The most important thing is that these ships are too small! It would be nice if they could be ten times larger. In this way, when faced with the big winds and waves in front of you, you can’t be nervous at all.”

After the regretful expression, I feel that the vessel responsible for Research & Development is too small to meet the needs.

The officer’s eyes widened and wondered: “Minister Li, is such a big ship still small? These are the largest ships in my Great Tang. If you want to increase the weight by ten times, how big is it!”

Obviously, this official is very satisfied with the size of the ship now, and he is not convinced that Li An can build a larger ship.

Of course, with Li An ’s ability, it can certainly be achieved by the country, as long as the accumulation of technology, 100000 tons of ships, simply do not count. In the future, Great Tang will definitely build 100000 tons of commercial ships. In this way, the cost of commercial transportation Can be better reduced.

A 100000-ton ship is exciting when you think about it. Such a huge ship placed in the ocean can completely withstand the test of hurricanes. Even if there is no hurricane, it is usually more stable than ordinary small ships. People will feel in such large ships Very comfortable.

In other words, the larger the ship, the more comfortable people live on it, and the self-sustainability of the ship is far more than that of small ships.

Therefore, in theory, the larger the ship is, the better, but it cannot be built too large. If the ship is built too large, it will not be easy to control, and the requirements for the navigation route will also become larger. Some places with shallow drafts cannot pass through. In addition, the requirements for Harbor are also high. If the water depth of Harbor is too shallow, the ship will not be able to berth at such Harbor.

Therefore, the best tonnage of a ship is to build it as large as possible while satisfying most Harbor drafts.

In addition, as Harbor gradually develops into deep sea ports, the tonnage of ships will gradually increase. For example, in the era of Great Tang, ships of 1000 tons are already considered to be large ships, and in the glorious era of the shipbuilding industry in the later generations, 100000 tons Ships, that can be regarded as a big ship, a 1000-ton boat simply not worth mentioning.

This is the progress of technology and the development of Harbor. Due to the limitation of Harbor ’s natural conditions, it is not realistic to build a large number of deep-water Harbor. Therefore, the tonnage development of the ship encountered a bottleneck, that is, after the tonnage reached several hundred thousand tons. Therefore, it is impossible to continue to increase the tonnage. Otherwise, most Harbors in the world will not be able to berth, which will greatly limit the flexibility of the ship ’s maneuverability and thus lose its economy.

Of course, because there are too many Harbors, there are still many small Harbors that cannot meet the requirements for berthing large tonnage ships. Thus, certain geographically-advanced deep-water ports have obtained very good opportunities for development and become transportation transit stations for large ships , Gradually getting richer.

The depth of Harbor in the Great Tang era is mostly formed naturally, and there are few traces of artificial excavation. As a result, natural conditions determine the depth of Harbor. Some coastal areas want to develop Harbor business, but It is limited to Harbor where the water depth is too shallow, which makes it difficult to berth large vessels, which greatly affects the shipping business. Some places with better natural conditions have become shipping trade centers.

For example, Guangzhou in the Great Tang empire, because of the existence of better deep-water ports, became a supply base and base camp for the Great Tang merchants going south, and those shallow coastal areas that were not well-located could not become the base camp for shipping.

“Minister Li, the wind and waves are getting smaller, we are about to leave the storm zone.”

Officials observed the situation outside and found that the waves were getting smaller. Looking back, the wind and waves behind were still very large, which is enough to show that they were already on the way out of the storm. After a little while, the Great Tang fleet was safe.

Li An said happily: “Okay! This time is a shock and no danger. After arriving in the country, Must has a good rest, prepare more wine and meat, and pressure the soldiers.”

“Yes, Minister Li, lowly understand.”

The subordinate responded.

Li An looked at the map and knew that Polu Kingdom was already not far, and immediately ordered: “Send someone to notify King Polu Kingdom and let him come out to meet.”

“Yes, Minister Li.”

The subordinate responded again.

Great Tang officials need to travel decently. This is also to maintain the face of the Great Tang empire and let the king of the small country greet him personally, not at all what is impossible, completely reasonable.

The Great Tang fleet quickly left the dangerous storm zone and arrived in safe waters, and in order to prepare the King of the Kingdom of Polu for preparations, Li An ordered Fleet to slow down.

“Eldest Brother, I heard that the surname of the king of Polu Kingdom is Li, but he has the same surname with us! I don’t know if it has a relationship with the Great Tang Imperial Family.”

Li Feiyu said.

Li An frowns saying: “There are so many surnames under the heavens, how can they all be related to the Imperial Family? Moreover, they have been living overseas for so many years. When their ancestors left the Central Plains, the Great Tang was not established yet?”

“Eldest Brother, I just said it casually, but I just felt quite fortunate. The name of the king I met along the way was very strange. Only the name of the king of this country was similar to us, and it was very kind.

Li Feiyu said.

Li An nodded with a smile said: “I also feel very kind, but the name is kind not at all for what purpose, but I do not know how this king of the Kingdom of Polu will listen to us.”

“Eldest Brother, a small country that is much larger than Polu Kingdom, dare not listen to us. This little Polu Kingdom still dares to rebel against the Great Tang. I don’t want to be confused!”

Li Feiyu said rudely.

Li An frowned: “The country of Polu is relatively remote and is not on a trade route. The country’s ties with Great Tang are not close. I don’t know what kind of doctrine this King Li is.”

“Anyway, it’s almost coming, and I’m understood when I see people asking a few words.”

Li Feiyu did not believe that the King of Polu would dare to disobey the policies of the Great Tang.

Of course, Li An does not believe that Polu Kingdom is a small country with ammunition. Why should it be against the Great Tang unless it is impatient.

After the Great Tang fleet arrived at Harbor in Polu, because Harbor’s volume is too small, it cannot guarantee that all the ships will stop in, and half of the ships can only stay on the sea.

Fortunately, there are more than one Harbor in the country, and the rest of the Harbor can also be diverted. The Harbor in this country is a deep-water port with good natural conditions, which can fully meet the docking of the Great Tang steam ships.

Before the arrival of the Great Tang fleet, the advance team had arrived in the country of Polu and told the King of Polu that the senior officials of Great Tang would come to visit and prepare them for the reception.

The country of Polu is just a small projectile country with very weak strength. After the Great Tang officials made a request, they naturally did not dare to neglect. King Li Xiaoyao personally went to Harbor to meet the Li An entire group.

This tall king looks bigger than Li An, it is estimated to be in his 40s! It is the prime time of life.

“Minister Li, welcome welcome!”

King Li Xiaoyao was very enthusiastic, with a smile on his lips.

Li An takes a closer look, this guy looks pretty Peugeot, although immigrants werehund or so years, but the appearance is obviously different from the Great Tang 100 surname not at all. If it is not known in advance, Li An thought that he met a Great Tang official. ?

The name Li Xiaoyao is also very good, giving a sense of free and easy. This is not like the name of the king, but the name of a leisurely hermit.

“Haha! Coming from afar, harassing His Royal Highness.”

Li An is also polite.

Li Xiaoyao didn’t care: “Xiaoyao’s ancestors were originally surnamed Great Tang 100, and the clan moved here only for refuge, so we are all a family, and besides, we are all surnamed Li. This is all fate. Nagging, it’s too much to see. “

Seeing that Li Xiaoyao was so enthusiastic, the Great Tang officials all put their hearts at ease and felt that there wouldn’t be too many problems to deal with the country.

Li An pushed the boat along the water, opened the mouth and said: “Since everyone is surnamed Li, His Royal Highness is several years older, just call you Li big brother!”

Li Xiaoyao did not refuse, opened the mouth and said: “Since it is a family, there is nothing wrong with the older brother called big brother, then it is called Minister Li virtuous brother.”

“How many 100 surnames are under Li big brother’s rule, how are soldiers and horses, but have they ever been threatened by foreigners?”

Li An opened the door and asked, these circumstances have been understood long ago, but it is still necessary for Li Xiaoyao to answer in person, so as to avoid the fact that the investigation of his staff is inconsistent with the actual situation.

Li Xiaoyao replied: “My mother-in-law has 10000 to 9000 people, with only 1000 standing troops and 2000 reserve soldiers. Although the strength is weak, it is enough to protect yourself. Moreover, there is not much wealth in the country, so I have not encountered In the case of a strong enemy invasion, for more than 100 years, only a few pirate attacks have been repelled. “

After saying a lot of pride, it seemed as if the country was very powerful.

In fact, in terms of this strength, that is, the strength at the county level of Great Tang, the better county towns of Great Tang are much stronger than Polu.

Li An laughed, opened the mouth and said: “In this way, the country of Polu is a treasure land! It has been uncontested for more than 100 years, and it is almost never interfered by the outside world. It is really rare.”

Li Xiaoyao said with a smile: “The ancestors of the clan moved to this place, not to find a place of comfort, so they found a secluded place, haha!”

Li An sighed and opened the mouth and said: “Polu country is a quiet and nice place, but that was all in the past, I’m afraid it won’t work in the future.”

“Uh, what does the virtuous brother mean?”

Li Xiaoyao surprised.

Li An said seriously: “The Great Tang will open the Maritime Silk Road, and all countries along the way will need to cooperate. Naturally, the Polu Kingdom is no exception. Therefore, the future Polu Parliament is very lively, and the days of the old 100 people will also come. The richer it is, this is a good thing, not a bad thing. “

This sentence has both congratulations and deterrence. Congratulations to Polu Kingdom for being part of the Great Tang Silk Road, which can provide a good opportunity for the development of Polu Kingdom, but it also warns Li Xiaoyao, Great Tang’s policy has been set, and the country must comply with it, otherwise, Heaven know’s what can happen.

“Virtuous brother, Brother Fool has long heard that Great Tang is going to cooperate with neighboring countries, but my country is remote, and it is nothing if we are alone. Can we discuss the terms here?”

Li Xiaoyao seemed a little reluctant, as if afraid of Great Tang opening the gates of Polu Kingdom.

“Great Tang is cooperating with the countries along the way, it is mutually beneficial, and it is of great benefit to both parties. Why is Li big brother a little reluctant? If you have any hardships, you might as well say it.”

Li An curiously asked.

Li Xiaoyao was sullen, and said softly: “The widowed people in the small country have never seen any world. There are only 10,000-20,000 people under the rule of the stupid brothers. Their ancestors are all in Great Tang. . “

Obviously, he was worried that the old 100 surname of Polu Guo, who knew the stability and richness of Great Tang, would have the idea of ​​immigration. Moreover, they were originally Central Plains, and there was nothing wrong with returning to their hometown, just like China Because of poverty, many people like to take green cards and become citizens of other countries in order to live a better life.
