Now that Zhang Liang has captured Yuguan City, Dangxiang has been blocked from Qingshui Valley by Qinghuai, and Tubo has just experienced civil strife and the failure of Danzhu, and is unable to advance eastward in the near future. The surrounding area of Dakang has temporarily calmed down.
The dignitaries in the court were suppressed by the Ninth Princess before, but now they have calmed down.
They have been away from the capital for so long, and there is no movement from the dignitaries.
This shows that they are really scared and don't dare to show their teeth to the Ninth Princess anymore.
Nowadays, the internal and external troubles of Dakang have been suppressed by Jin Feng for the time being. As long as the Ninth Princess's New Deal continues to be implemented for a few years, the world will be completely stable.
With the rear being stable, Jin Feng naturally turned his attention overseas.
After being together for so long, the Ninth Princess already knew Jin Feng very well. When she heard that Jin Feng was going to the East China Sea, she roughly guessed what he was thinking.
He smiled and said, "My husband can go if he wants. Hong Taoping's work efficiency is too slow. It took so long for the dock to be repaired. I don't know if it will take until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to expect him to build a sea-going ship that can travel far."
"It's not Hong Taopingman. His shipyard was rebuilt based on the drawings I drew. It needs a crane to operate. This can only be done with a crane."
After all, he was the candidate he had chosen. After hearing what the Ninth Princess said, Jin Feng still had to defend himself.
"In addition to helping Hong Taoping install the crane this time, I also have some shipbuilding ideas to communicate with him." Jin Feng said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to come back before the child is born."
"I understand." Ninth Princess smiled and lay in Jin Feng's arms: "When are you leaving?"
"If you have nothing else to do, I will go back with Mancang tomorrow morning, and then set off with the fleet transporting the crane." Jin Feng said: "If I bring more people, I can avoid any more mistakes with the crane."
"That's fine, leave early and come back early." Ninth Princess nodded.
"Do you want to go back with me?" Jin Feng asked.
"No need, my mother-in-law said she would keep vigil for my uncle for a month. I will stay with her here, and I also happen to be watching over here in Dujiangyan." The Ninth Princess shook her head.
"Don't work so hard, take care of yourself." Jin Feng reminded.
"I know." Ninth Princess smiled and nodded.
At dawn the next morning, Jin Feng left Dujiangyan with Mancang and others.
This time, the Ninth Princess was not taken with him, so the whole group rushed back to Xihewan along the Jinniu Ancient Road as quickly as possible.
Before Mancang came back, he had already sent a message to someone to deliver the newly built crane to the cargo ship at Jinchuan Pier. After Jin Feng returned to the village, he only briefly met Guan Xiaorou before continuing his journey.
At noon that day, the group boarded the boat from Jinchuan Pier and drifted down the Jialing River.
One day later, the fleet arrived in Yuzhou City and docked at Yuzhou Pier.
Yuzhou is Chongqing where Jin Feng lived in his previous life. It is also an extremely important city along the Yangtze River. The Jialing River flows into the mainstream of the Yangtze River from Yuzhou City.
In order to save time, after setting off from Jinchuan, everyone in the fleet was fed and accommodated on the ship, including Jin Feng.
After dinner, it was not completely dark yet, so Jin Feng stood on the bow of the boat and admired the sunset.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a cavalry team was getting closer and closer.
"Da Liu, is that one of ours?" Jin Feng asked.
"It seems to be the flag of our Chamber of Commerce." Da Liu put up a pergola with his hands and looked to the west: "But it's hard to see clearly when facing the west against the light."
"Don't look at it, it's our flag."
Chihiro Kita, who was following behind the two of them, narrowed his eyes and said.
"They are really our people," Da Liu turned to look at Jin Feng: "Sir, tell Yuzhou, are we going to pass by today?"
"No." Jin Feng shook his head.
He is not a person who pays attention to ostentation. If it is not necessary, he will generally not disturb the passing chamber of commerce.
"Then how do they know we are here?" Da Liu asked.
"Maybe he came to the dock to do other things." Jin Feng speculated.
As the two chatted, the cavalry got closer and closer.
"Sir, I can see clearly that he is indeed from our Chamber of Commerce." Da Liu said with a smile: "The big boss of the Chamber of Commerce is here."
Jin Feng also laughed.
The person riding in the front was none other than Tang Xiaobei.
"Master, where are you going? Can you give me a ride?"
Tang Xiaobei looked at Jin Feng with a smile.
"Come up quickly!"
Jin Feng didn't need to say anything, the escort had already set up the planks of the boat.
Tang Xiaobei boarded the cargo ship with several assistants and bodyguards.
"Didn't you go to Xichuan? Why did you go to Yuzhou again?" Jin Feng asked curiously.
"The matter in Xichuan was settled in one day. I thought I hadn't been to Jiangnan for a long time, so I planned to go there for a walk."
Tang Xiaobei said: "When I passed by Yuzhou City, I stopped to see how the new store here was doing."
Yuzhou has been a big city since ancient times and one of the gathering places for merchants from all walks of life. Therefore, Yuzhou has always been a key development city for Tang Xiaobei.
The Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce has one more station here than Xichuan City, and there are more and larger warehouses than Xichuan City.
Because it is close to the Jialing River, Yuzhou City has more interactions with Jinchuan than Xichuan City.
Many of the products produced by Jin Feng's factories will depart from Jinchuan Wharf and be delivered to the warehouse at Yuzhou City Wharf.
For example, several warehouses were filled with salt, Shu cloth, etc.
If someone in Jiangnan places an order, Yuzhou City can deliver the goods on the same day.
The Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce was stationed not far from the dock. Jin Feng's fleet docked at the dock and was quickly discovered by the local bell team and reported to Tang Xiaobei.
Tang Xiaobei was also surprised to see Jin Feng here: "Ms. sir, aren't you in Dujiangyan? Why did you go to Yuzhou City, or did you come from the Jialing River?"
Dujiangyan is close to the Minjiang River. If Jinfeng wants to come to Yuzhou City, he can just go down the Minjiang River. Why does he have to go to the Jialing River and take a boat?
Tang Xiaobei really couldn't figure it out.
Jin Feng had no choice but to tell the story about Donghai again.
"Hong Taoping was unlucky enough. He had waited for so long to finally build the crane, but it was sunk to the bottom of the sea by pirates."
Tang Xiaobei couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Hong Taoping's appearance: "That's just right, I'll go to the East China Sea with you to have a look."
"Aren't you going to Jiangnan to inspect the work?" Jin Feng said, "I'm in a hurry and I'm afraid I don't have time to wait for you."
"It's okay. It's okay to let them check the work. I'll accompany you to the East China Sea."
Tang Xiaobei looked at Jin Feng with a half-smile but not a smile: "This time will probably take several months. I have to keep an eye on you for Sister Xiaorou, so as not to bring another one with you when you come back."
"If you want to play, just say so. Don't use Xiaorou as a cover." Jin Feng said with squinting eyes.
Tang Xiaobei stuck out his tongue and took Bei Qianxun's arm into the cabin.
It's easier to go to the East China Sea than to come back. Tang Xiaobei wanted to go, and he happened to be a companion along the way, so Jin Feng naturally wouldn't stop him.
Early the next morning, as soon as it got dark, the fleet continued to set off.
In a private house not far downstream from the pier, a young man with a fierce face was sitting under the window, staring motionlessly at the river.
Seeing Jin Feng's fleet appear, he quickly stood up and knocked on the door next to him: "Mr. Zhao, Jin Feng has left the dock!"
