Chapter 7 Longgang was established, Yang Fan set sail
Yuna still failed to meet Zhou Yunfei in the end, and when the two sides discussed the alliance of interests, it was really shocking. Yuna hated it on the first day. Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu took turns to fight.
The words are so eloquent that they can swallow thousands of miles! The stunned meeting room made Yuna of the Flower of St. Clair's eyes red. Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and the other three had a good time with their mouth addiction and added a little more fun to their lives. But after hearing that the three
After enjoying themselves, several other counselors also expressed that they also wanted to enjoy themselves. Then the flower was completely disappointed. After Zhou Yunfei heard this, he couldn't help but shuddered. Oh my god! That was a number that could be counted in the entire Three Kingdoms.
What a great counselor! Not to mention Zhuge Liang's verbal battles with scholars, Guo Jia's strategies, and Jia Xu's ruthlessness, the others are also extremely awesome. God bless, Amen.
By the way, where is Zhou Yunfei? He is in Longgang, one kilometer upstream of the Hengduan River estuary. Since being upgraded to a city, Zhou Yunfei has been eager to build Longgang and develop river and sea transportation. So when he learned that the port was established, he hurriedly hurried
Come.
Looking at several docks on the port, there are also some small boats (not within the system, made by civilians) fishing. The merchant ships built by the system will not be ready until 10 days, so he decided to stay here for the next few days.
, waiting for the completion of the vessel.
This time he established 10 merchant fleets, each fleet consisting of 5 merchant ships. The merchant ships can carry about 150 tons of cargo, have two sails, and can carry about 200 people.
This time, 10 fleets of merchant ships will go out to sea one after another to find ports along the coastline and open up maritime trade routes. Therefore, the first batch of fleets going to sea is of great significance to Zhou Yunfei. He personally boarded the ship and looked at the cargo ship carefully. At the same time, the system
The recruited crew members also became familiar with the ship.
In the past few days, Zhou Yunfei has also passed through the sea wolf. Although he did not go deep into the sea, it was still very exciting.
No one knows why Zhou Yunfei is so keen on this. Perhaps only he knows how much he has paid for the ocean in that distant country. Countless people have dyed the earth red with their blood, just because no one can stop the waves coming from the sea.
Invasion. In that era when sea power was lacking, China, which had been glorious for thousands of years, fell into trouble and suffered repeated invasions from the ocean! Hate! Hate those Tatars! Hate those white-skinned monkeys even more! What a pity, in that distant time and space
Zhou Yunfei would never see his beloved motherland rise again and bloom into glory. So when he experienced the feeling of fighting against the storm, he felt deeply lost.
"That's all, thinking about this is just adding to the worries." Zhou Yunfei looked at the sun slowly setting in the distance and slapped his face heavily.
"Master, the food is ready, please enjoy." Diao Chan said softly. Zhou Yunfeique, who was sitting at the table, was stunned because he remembered something very important.
The reason was that when he was on the boat, Zhou Yunfei had lost his appetite for a few days due to seasickness. When the fishermen saw that the beloved city lord could not eat, they came up with a few tricks. After trying them, the effect was good, so Zhou Yunfei
On a whim, Zhou Yunfei visited the fishermen's homes. With a few simple meals and fresh fish soup, Zhou Yunfei discovered that the fishermen hardly used salt. After asking, he learned that cooking salt is not easy and that salt is also an important trade commodity.
Salt is very scarce on the mainland.
After learning about this, Zhou Yunfei couldn't help but ask Diao Chan. Diao Chan usually prepared the meals, and as the city lord, he should have salt for every meal. But he couldn't remember the modern method of making salt, so he made it a few days later.
I forgot about it. Now I suddenly think of salt, and suddenly I remember sun-dried salt! (This is the case for the author, I often can’t remember something, but I suddenly remember it a few days later)
Not even bothering to eat, Zhou Yunfei hurriedly called the port deacon. The deacon was one of the first officials sent by Zhuge Liang, named Tian Bo, also known as Zifu. When Tian Bo arrived, Zhou Yunfei hurriedly explained in detail the seawater salting method.
, Tian Bo was immediately stunned. After careful calculation in his mind, he came up with the huge output. He was so impressed! Then he hurriedly arranged for civilians and a team of light-armored guard soldiers to move together. They selected a flat coast overnight and dug up sand. One night later
, when the sun rose from the distant horizon the next day, the flat coast was already full of pits. A piece of quick stone was moved from the driveway and filled into the dug hole. Many fishermen did not know what they were doing, but
I heard that you could get gold coins by digging holes, so everyone mustered up the energy to dig hard.
Three days later, the coastline about 2 miles long was covered with huge craters filled with stones. When the seawater was introduced, they looked like huge mirrors, reflecting the white clouds in the sky.
Zhou Yunfei stood high up, watching the initial completion of the salt field, and smiled with satisfaction.
And Uncle Tian led several of his men to walk beside the sea fields from time to time, using a ruler to measure this and that. For him, the port guard deacon, this sea field is more important than his life. If it is true what the lord said, then
Salt will become the most important link in the entire trade structure! At this moment, Tian Bo was imagining countless merchants bringing gold coins to buy salt. The gold coins were piled up into a mountain. Tian Bo took a sip of saliva.
But Zhou Yunfei suddenly woke up and couldn't let others know this secret. If the entire continent understood the salt production method, then the salt would be worthless! Making a decision immediately, Zhou Yunfei called the guard captain and asked him to inform Pang Tong of Dragon City to send an additional team.
The heavy armored infantry and a team of white horse shooters designated this place as a military restricted area. They also called Uncle Tian and others to explain the matter. Uncle Tian was still imagining the bright future, but was suddenly interrupted when his lord called him,
Immediately brought people here. After hearing the importance of this matter, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately arranged for a few people to drive away the nearby villagers, and at the same time transferred the soldiers in the port back to Dragon City. It wasn't that Zhou Yunfei didn't trust his soldiers, it was just that this matter was important.
It's important, people talk too much, and it's very likely to be leaked, so this group of soldiers is transferred out of this place before they know what the use of Haitian is. Replace it with the elites in Dragon City. After all, heavy armored soldiers and white horse archers are more disciplined than others.
After handling the matter, Zhou Yunfei returned to the port, and Tian Bo, who accompanied him, went to the port to re-arrange the patrols of the stern boats, blockade the sea area around Haitian, and strictly prohibited fishermen from fishing in the surrounding areas. The stern boats were newly recruited after the merchant ships.
Army. Each stern can carry about 150 soldiers. There is a special ramming angle on the bow. The sailors on board are all capable of walking and shooting. They can draw bows, shoot arrows, and chop in close combat. They are extremely elite. For this navy
Zhou Yunfei still has great hope for the army. Now there are three fleets of ships in Longgang, each with five ships. With the armed merchant ships, there will be no rivals in this world for the time being.
In the blink of an eye, all five caravans were ready. This voyage was of great importance. Zhou Yunfei specially allowed the caravans to establish temporary armed forces and independently recruit local brave armed caravans. To this end, Zhuge Liang followed Zhou Yunfei's instructions and issued a foreign trade caravan armed certificate.
, this certificate has a statute of limitations, which is generally set according to the scale and tax ratio. The longest is about 3 years and the short is only 3 months. After the statute of limitations expires, you must go to the governor's office to apply for it again. The counselors are very impressed by this move.
It not only ensures the safety of the caravan, but also enhances the control of the governor's office. More importantly, it can raise a large number of armed forces without having to pay for it. The governor's office has the right to recruit armed forces during wartime.
At this time, a large number of civilians came to watch the caravan sailing at Longgang Pier. Zhou Yunfei and Tian Bo and others stood at Pier 1 and looked at the caravan leader in front of him. The caravan leader's name was Yuan Xu, the number one in Longcheng.
A group of merchants organized the first batch of caravans since the last opening of trade in Seth City. After earning a lot of money, they went to the governor's office to inquire about the formation of a shipping caravan. After getting permission, they joined several other caravans to form it.
The largest caravan in Dragon City. This voyage was an opportunity. The ship was loaded with spices, salt, textile products and furs. Because I didn’t know how long it would take, I didn’t bring the most important food, but only a lot of flour. Yuan Xu looked at
The Lord of the City, although he is only about 14 years old, has a thin body but a strange but determined face, and he is very excited.
"This voyage is going to be difficult and dangerous. I hope you and others will work together to open up a great route for our Dragon City. Please!" Zhou Yunfei looked at each other with clasped fists. Several merchants and guards excitedly promised to complete the mission. When everyone came to the merchant ship,
Yuan Xu shouted loudly: "Set sail!"
"salute!"
A team of heavy armored infantry saluted the slowly setting sail of the merchant ship, and the people around them shouted: "Have a safe journey!" "Take care!"
Zhou Yunfei watched the fleet slowly sail into the river, and sailed towards the sea under the escort of a team of sterns. His eyes were filled with tears, "We will inherit China's dream of the sea, and here we come to the sea!"
Uncle Tian beside him was extremely excited and kept waving to the caravan in the distance, as if his heart was sailing into the distance with the merchant ship.
After the fleet slowly disappeared from everyone's eyes, Zhou Yunfei signaled everyone to disperse, and the people also left one after another. Taking Uncle Tian and others back to the port office, Zhou Yunfei asked about the situation of Haitian. "After a few days,
Sun-drying, the first batch of sea salt has come out, which is the total amount of salt production in previous years!" Speaking of Haitian, Uncle Tian was very excited. Who would have thought that in just a few days, the total amount of salt production in previous years could be reached?
Quantity means that you can know it without even thinking about it. It is all golden gold! Zhou Yunfei is relatively calm. It would not be surprising if he had known this result. He just asked Uncle Tian to guard the secret of Haidian after asking. If necessary, he can
Cut first and play later.
After Tian Bo and others left, Zhou Yunfei just wanted to relax when the system's voice rang, "Ding! The system will be upgraded to further integrate the rules of this world. Please check for detailed changes after the update is completed." Zhou Yunfei was stupid.
Yes, right? It also comes with automatic updates? What the hell is this?
