God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 624
That night, Yang Yuhua and others clapped their hands to celebrate.

Even if it's just for Du He to contemplate behind closed doors for half a month, it's still a great victory!

The next morning was the start of the boat race between Datang and Dongying.

For this boat comparison, the Ministry of Rituals put a lot of thought into it. First, Yang Yuhua and others stayed up all night and went to the Ministry of Industry to watch in person, asking the Ministry of Industry to take out the top ship of Datang, and then sent people to post notices to inform The people of Chang'an City compared boats.

The location of the boat comparison is on the Bahe River in the north of Chang'an City.

Early in the morning, there were huge crowds of people on both sides of the Bahe River, and everyone came to cheer for Datang, and at the same time, they wanted to see what the captain of the Dongying people was like.

When Li Er and the others arrived at the scene to take a look, they were shocked.

Chen Shuda explained: "Your Majesty, now that the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, the common people are all here to watch our great ship of the Tang Dynasty. They are here to cheer and let the common people see. North Korea, the world will be peaceful!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations Your Majesty!"

"Vega at home, the world is boundless!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of praise.

Seeing Li Er, the people on both sides of the strait also shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

"Long live!"

Seeing Li Er, he was in a good mood.

He waved his hand: "Let the Ministry of Industry pull our Datang boat out to have a look!"

Chen Shuda hurriedly sent someone to notify.

After a long while, a large boat slowly floated down from the upper reaches.

The boat didn't look like anything special.

Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, this is a new type of ship built by the shipbuilders of the Ministry of Industry last year. It can be said to be the pinnacle of shipbuilding in the Tang Dynasty. It can raise twelve sails in total, and it can be worn faster than ordinary boats. The six-sail and eight-sail boats are much faster, and most importantly, the two sides of the boat can accommodate twenty people paddling, which can also increase the speed of the boat..."

When everyone heard the words and looked carefully, they were immediately amazed.

In this era, the pinnacle of shipbuilding is eight sails, and it is difficult to build more. It is really not easy for the Ministry of Industry to build a ship with twelve sails.

And there are twenty oars on both sides of the boat, which can be rowed by twenty men together.

As a result, the speed of this ship is not comparable to that of ordinary ships.

Officials applauded.

When the people saw it, they clapped their hands and applauded.

"My Tang Dynasty is vast and boundless, with vast land and abundant resources, how can it be compared with that of Little Dongying!"

"Prince Dongying thinks too much of himself, I'm afraid he doesn't dare to compete!"

"I'd like to see how the Dongpu people failed miserably!"

Just as everyone was discussing, Dongying's ship also appeared.

"what?"

When everyone saw Dongpu's boat, their eyes widened.

I saw that the boat was smaller than Datang's boat.

no sails!
No paddles either!

Look bare.

On both sides of the boat, there are four round wooden covers, which seem to hide something, and no one can see clearly what is inside.

Chen Shuda was surprised: "Prince Su Wo Yazi, is this your Dongying treasure ship?"

Su Woyazi said proudly: "Master Chen, that's right, this is the Dongying treasure ship. It was built by Dongying craftsmen for ten years. It is the best treasure ship in the world, and it is also the fastest!"

"Pfft..."

The Datang officials next to him couldn't help laughing.

Changsun Wuji: "You call this broken thing a treasure ship?"

Hou Junji: "It's just this broken boat, the barrels I bathe in can float faster than it!"

Dai Zhou: "I think the spirit of Dongying people is commendable!"

Li Er couldn't help laughing, and said: "Okay, since it's Su Woyazi who wants to compete, let's arrange the competition properly."

Only then did everyone put away their smiles.

The face of Dongying people still needs to be given.

Chen Shuda said: "Prince Su Wo Yazi, according to the rules of my Tang Dynasty, how about three competitions, two wins in three games, how about it?"

Su Woyazi said: "It's not impossible!"

"Okay, then win two out of three battles, and Lord Situ Wang will preside over it." Chen Shuda said.

Everyone also recommended Wang Gui to host the competition.

Wang Gui came to the center of the Bahe River in a small boat. On the left was the Dragon Treasure Ship of Datang, and on the right was the Treasure Ship of Dongying.

Holding a small flag in his hand, Wang Gui simmered and shouted hoarsely, "Start!"

Immediately, all the twelve sails of the Great Tang Shenlong Treasure Ship were hung up, and twenty men paddled their oars neatly, shouting: "Hey, hey..."

The Shenlong treasure ship rushed forward quickly.

The end point is just upstream as far as the naked eye can see.

"Hahaha, look, the Dongying treasure ship is motionless!"

"There is not even a person on the Dongying treasure ship, how can it move, it's not bad if it doesn't go downstream!"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed.

Even the Chinese and military ministers of the DPRK did not know how to laugh.

Chen Shuda said: "Prince, why don't you see this, should you cancel this competition and go back to repair the boat..."

Chen Shuda wanted to call Su Woyazi to take the boat back for overhaul, but he was stunned before he finished speaking.

I saw that the Dongying treasure ship parked in the center of the Bahe River suddenly started to spray water on both sides.

Afterwards, everyone saw that the Dongpu treasure ship rushed out like an arrow off the string.

Puff puff.

Countless water splashes appeared on both sides of the Dongying treasure ship, and the river surface was stirred up.

The treasure boat quickly passed the boat that Wang Gui and others were riding on, causing the boat to topple from side to side.

The most important thing is that a lot of water splashed out, all hitting Wang Gui and others.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Gui became a drowned chicken.

Fortunately, he woke up at four o'clock to take a shower and change clothes, and put on his best clothes, and now it's all ruined.

"Ah... the Dongpu Treasure Ship has arrived at the end!"

Someone suddenly shouted in surprise.

Everyone reacted.

Dongying Treasure Ship has reached the end, but Datang Shenlong Treasure Ship has only traveled more than half the distance.

The people were shocked!
The civil and military ministers were too surprised to speak.

Second hand Li trembled slightly, unable to believe this scene.

That Dongying treasure boat, which looks so ugly that not even a boatman is seen, is so fast?
It doesn't make sense!

Chen Shuda and the others looked at each other.

At this time, the Shenlong treasure ship also reached the end.

The two boats returned to the crowd one after the other, and the Dongying treasure boat was driving slowly on the bank of the river, as if in a demonstration.

Li Er frowned and asked, "Duan Lun, why is Dongying's ship so fast? I've never seen such a fast speed! What does your Ministry of Industry do?"

Duan Lun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Your Majesty, it's really weird... This ship is so weird! Your Majesty, I'm incompetent, please punish me!"

Duan Lun felt aggrieved in his heart!
I thought I could show my face with the [-] sailboats built by the Ministry of Industry, but I didn't know that they failed so badly.

At this time, Su Woyazi, the prince of Dongying, said proudly: "Your Majesty, you have lost, and I don't think you should mention the treasure offering again!"

Chen Shuda hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, prince, we just agreed that we will win two out of three battles, and now is the first match!"

"Hmph, if I give you ten more chances, you will lose!" Su Woyazi said calmly.

……

Not far away, among the dense crowd.

Duho was among them.

Besides Du He's guards, he also had Yuan Tiangang, Mo Yifei and Yuan Qingfeng.

Du He asked, "Have you seen it clearly?"

Yuan Tiangang and the others shook their heads helplessly.
