Grain in Linyi is very important to Li Yin, and Cui Yu's plan is full of loopholes, so in the end Li Yin and Cui Yu agreed to let their grain merchants be patient for a while, and buy grain at the price set by the other party this year. After the power in his hands is drawn from the Japanese kingdom in the coming year, let Lin Yi spit out what he ate this year, with profits.

Cui Yu also understood that dealing with a country was not as simple as they imagined, so he immediately agreed to Li Yin's proposal, and was willing to send someone to persuade those grain merchants to buy grain at a high price first. It doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss. When Li Yin faces Linyi's opponent next year, they will no longer have to look at the faces of Linyi people like before.

After discussing about Linyi, Cui Yu brought up the marriage between Li Min and his younger sister Cui Mengxue. The two of them should have been married long ago, but Cui Mengxue has been working in Chang'an Medical College and is familiar with the management and structure of the entire college. Min was also very busy some time ago, and was outside all day, so the marriage was delayed.Fortunately, Mengxue wrote a letter a while ago, saying that she was sure of establishing a medical school by herself, and Li Yin was just free, so Cui Yu, the eldest brother, began to discuss their marriage.

Naturally, Li Yin had no objection to this matter, and when he received the news before, he was already making preparations for the wedding.In fact, although Tiao Ren has a rank, she is not a concubine after all, so according to the etiquette system, there is no need to make a fuss. Let people prepare for a wedding.

After seeing off Cui Yu and his wife, Li Yin immediately rushed to Ship City, one of the acropolises in Dengzhou.It is the shipbuilding base of Dengzhou, and 418% of the shipyards in Dengzhou are there.In addition, the Shipping Association and the School of Ship Design are also there.Capital Datang [-]

When Li Yin came to the shipping association where Wei Heizi worked, he couldn't find anyone.Then when I arrived at the School of Design behind the association, I found that the teachers and students in the school were moving things back and forth. These things included documents and ship models, and they were being put on the carriage in the yard. It seemed that they were going to be transported somewhere. .

Here at the School of Ship Design, Li Yin used to come here often, so the general teachers and students knew him. After seeing him, these people who moved things all saluted.And Li Yin also nodded and smiled at everyone, signaling them to continue, and then walked to Wei Heizi's office by himself.

When Li Yin pushed open the door, he saw that Wei Heizi was confessing something to a few old men. Li Yin also knew these people. To Li Yin's surprise, Yifan is also here.It's just that I'm looking at a roll of drawings on my desk right now.

Seeing Li Yin coming in, Wei Heizi immediately asked the elders to go out, and then stepped forward to salute, "Your Highness, why are you free today?"

Hear what Wei Heizi said.Yifan also raised her head to look at Li Yin, but she just smiled at Li Yin as a greeting.Then he still lowered his head to study the blueprint in his hand.Although Yifan also does things for Li Yin, strictly speaking.He can't be regarded as Li Yin's subordinate, but Li Yin's friend.So when the two get along, they are very casual, and there is no difference between upper and lower.

Li Yin smiled, and then answered Wei Heizi's words: "The School of Ship Design is going to move, and you are the first batch of people to move to Taiwan. Although I know you are very hardworking, you are still a little worried. In addition, there is nothing to do today, so I came to take a look. Why, is Yifan researching some new ships again?"

Hearing Li Yin ask about Yifan, Wei Heizi smiled and said, "Dean Zhao said that there is nothing serious about it recently, so he wants to improve her steamboat, and the people who are good at our academy have also designed several new types of steamboat. So she came to refer to it."

Sure enough, it was almost the same as what he guessed, Li Yin shook his head and smiled.Yifan is the dean of the Academy of Sciences, but although she is proficient in mechanical development, shipbuilding is her greatest interest. For example, the latest steamship was designed by her, so it is normal for her to appear in the Academy of Ship Design.

Li Yin walked to Yifan and looked at the drawings, only to find that he couldn't understand most of them.In fact, this is not qiguài, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and he doesn't understand shipbuilding, let alone understand these professional blueprints.It's just that what makes Li Yin feel depressed is that the length units and Arabic numerals marked on the drawings are all created by him, and now he doesn't understand the meaning of these things.

Since he couldn't understand, Li Yin stopped wasting his mind, but asked Wei Heizi about his preparations, and he was relieved when he learned that everything was going well.

The School of Ship Design would move from Dengzhou to Taiwan. This was planned by Li Min a long time ago, and not only the School of Ship Design, Yifan’s Academy of Sciences, steam engine manufacturing factories, and related iron-making and foundry factories, and even Even the firearms factory on Perak Island will be moved to Taiwan. Of course, these colleges and factories will not be relocated all at once, but will be divided into several time periods and slowly relocated from Dengzhou.

Although Dengzhou is Li Yin's territory, it is also the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, when Li Yin was in Dengzhou, he did not do things as he wanted in Taiwan. For example, he could carry out political reforms in Taiwan, but in Dengzhou But it doesn't work at all.In addition, as Li Yin's influence overseas expanded step by step, the relationship between him and Datang became more and more subtle, and could no longer be as ambiguous as before.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Li Yin decided to slowly move out the foundation he had laid in Dengzhou, and Taiwan was his chosen base camp. At least for him now, there is no more suitable development than Taiwan. base now.The School of Ship Design is the first step in the migration. After all, the shipbuilding industry is the foundation of maritime trade, and Li Yin can do nothing without ships. Therefore, in the next few years, Taiwan's shipbuilding industry will be one of Li Yin's development priorities.

Originally, Li Yin had something to do with finding Yifan, but seeing her looking at the drawings so seriously, he didn't want to disturb her, so he had to let Wei Heizi take him to visit the School of Ship Design.When the School of Ship Design was first established, it only organized some old masters from various shipyards in Dengzhou, and then led by Wei Heizi to gather the wisdom of everyone to jointly design and develop new ships.

Later, with the development of the shipbuilding industry in Dengzhou, the School of Ship Design began to recruit some apprentices, mainly outstanding young people selected from various shipyards. As apprentices, they learned shipbuilding techniques from experienced masters. They are literate, and learn physics and arithmetic knowledge, and then combine the shipbuilding technology they have learned to form scientific text or picture materials.

It is precisely by relying on these sorted out materials that the School of Ship Design has made reforms again, and now it has begun to recruit students from the outside world, no longer limited to shipyard workers, and has also changed the previous teaching mode of masters leading apprentices to future generations. That kind of classroom teaching uses the strength of teachers to the limit.

Li Yin walked around the academy casually, and found that there were not many students studying, and most of them were helping to move things.And according to Wei Heizi's explanation, there are now 280 students in the entire college, and this is because the college is moving to Taiwan, so after a group of students graduated this year, they did not recruit any more students, but prepared to recruit in Taiwan.Otherwise, the number of students in the academy should be around 350.

When Li Yin and Wei Heizi came back from their visit, they found that Yifan had finished reading the blueprints, so Li Yin said with a smile, "Yifan, the School of Ship Design is going to move, and your Academy of Sciences will be the next place to move, how about it?" , is there any difficulty?"

Yifan had already been notified by Li Yin, so he was not surprised when he heard it, but nodded and said: "It's nothing to relocate, but our Academy of Sciences needs a lot of materials for experiments, such as various steels, woods, etc. You can easily find them in Dengzhou, but if you go to Taiwan, it may be a bit troublesome."

After hearing this, Li Yin smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. I can ask Taiwan to build a large warehouse first. You will make a list of the materials you need, and then purchase a large number of them and ship them to Taiwan for storage. If you need them temporarily For some rare materials, you can also go to Fuzhou and Guangzhou to buy them. They are very close to Taiwan, and the purchase is not very troublesome. In addition, Taiwan will vigorously promote industrial development. Maybe in a few years, you will no longer need to purchase from outside. Instead, we directly use materials produced locally in Taiwan.”

Hearing Li Yin's words, Yifan nodded. In fact, she thought so too, but the purchase of materials required funds. Now that Li Yin nodded, naturally there would be no problem.

"By the way, if the Academy of Sciences moves there, will the steam engine manufacturing stone and the steam shipyard also move there?" Yifan suddenly thought of another question.

Li Yin thought about it after hearing this, and then said: "Steam shipyards were originally rebuilt on top of ordinary shipyards. As long as there are steam engines, there is no big problem in building steamships. It is easy to prepare, but it can be moved together with the Academy of Sciences." In the past, the steam engine manufacturing plant involved steel, casting and other factories, so if you want to relocate, at least you have to wait until those basic factories are built. In the past, it will certainly not affect the production of steamships!"

After hearing this, Yifan also felt that it was feasible, but then she frowned again, and said with some hesitation: "Your Highness, if the Academy of Sciences moves to Taiwan, I can stay there for a while, so that the entire academy can get on the right track, but after that I’m going back to Dengzhou, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold the post of dean anymore.” (To be continued.)
