"The Wusun people have found it!"

Back in the back and palace, Liu Che heard the good news.

"Your Majesty, this is the recital of the Governor of the Protectorate of Anton...... "A eunuch held a note and presented it to Liu Che.

Liu Che took it and looked at it.

"What a pathetic ......"

A few years ago, the Wusun Kingdom was still the hardcore junior brother of the Xiongnu and an important alliance.

It dominates the Western Regions, controls tens of thousands of strings, and is the second largest in the grassland after the Xiongnu.

If Liu Che remembers correctly, hundreds of years later, there will be a people who are related to Wusun who will defeat Rouran and rise on the grassland.

Its name is Turkic.

It's a pity that all this will basically never happen again.

Today, there are only less than 2,000 people left in Wusun.

The most important thing is that in so many people, the number of women is pitiful.

This means that as a nation, it is almost impossible for the Usun to continue to survive.

However, this is good news for Liu Che.

The horse breeding technology and horse selection technology of the Wusun people are like a black technology for the Han family.

With these Wusun people, it is equivalent to the hope of breeding excellent horse breeds that belong to the Han family.

"Your Majesty, the Korean monarch and the prince of Tangyi also have a ...... of the song" The eunuch handed the two books to Liu Che next to him.

"I want to go to sea......"

North Korean Jun Liu Ming and Chen Xu only said one thing in the recital.

That is, they also hope that they can go to sea, just like Chen Huan. Go Neon and make a fortune.

I can't blame these two people for having such thoughts.

After Chen Huan returned from the voyage, she held thousands of Japanese slaves in captivity. swaggered through the market, making everyone known.

Slaves or something. It doesn't matter.

The key point is that the whales in the Korean Strait and the Sea of Japan are salivating.

Encouraging whaling is Liu Che's established national policy.

North Korea and the Northeast region also have enough timber to build whaling ships on site.

It's just that the profits of whaling are so huge.

Especially now, the species and number of whales living in the world's oceans. Numerous.

Just off the coast of China and North Korea, Liu Che feels that a conservative estimate of 1.8 million whales is not too much at all!

Now, the profits that can be obtained from killing a whale, at the very least, are hundreds of thousands!

In other words. Liu Che only needs to open this opening.

Then, in the future, the wealth of the coastal princes and kings and maritime merchants will probably accumulate to a terrible level.

Especially North and South Korea. Backed by the Yuan Sea, it guards the strait.

If they indulge in whaling.

Most likely, it won't be long. The wealth of these two kingdoms is about to surpass that of Qilu.

And a wealthy local government. It is obviously not conducive to the rule of a unified dynasty.

"Should we still realize the ...... access system" Liu Che thought about it in his heart and made a decision.

Whaling. Of course, it is to be encouraged.

At this stage, only the whaling industry can promote the development of China's navigation and shipbuilding technology.

After all, today's Han Jialou ship can be said to be at a loss when he draws his sword and looks around, looking all over the world, and he can't find an enemy that can match it, or even cause some trouble.

Today, the huge fleet of building ships has dominated the entire coastal waters of China.

The fleet of South Vietnam, once the biggest enemy, has also become its own people.

There are no enemies, no threats, and even less motivation.

Obviously, if this continues, China's shipbuilding technology and navigation technology are likely to come to a standstill.

After all, like species, technology and industry also need to be driven by enemies or sufficient interests for it to develop and progress by leaps and bounds.

For example, the aerospace science and technology of later generations.

In the fifties and sixties, Midi implemented the Apollo program and sent astronauts to the moon.

But in the new century.

Not to mention sending people to the moon and even Mars.

Miti didn't even have a space shuttle.

Why?

The worst enemy, the USSR was already GG Smecta.

The rest of the scum, combined, can't catch up with the strength of any of Uncle Sam's armed forces.

The invincible Midi Air and Sea Force has dominated the entire earth.

In such a situation, the space program, which has a huge investment and has almost no short-term benefits, will of course be PASSED.

Every 10 years, it is enough to engage in deep space exploration, launch a few exploration satellites, and maintain technological superiority.

The same is true today.

The huge fleet of Han Dynasty ships is obviously invincible in this world.

Sadly, it can't even find an enemy.

A building ship can cost millions at every turn.

The cost of the new type of ship is higher than that of the old building ship.

Now, with the support of Liu Che, the emperor, the Louchuan Yamen, even if it has been reduced to the fishery administration yamen, can continue to be maintained.

However, it is necessary to expand and even develop a much larger and more advanced fleet.

It was basically a dream.

The courtiers and nobles would not agree at all to invest tens of thousands of dollars in resources every year to maintain a large fleet that could only deliver couriers, catch fish, and patrol inland rivers and coastal waters—even now, the maintenance cost of seventy or eighty million yuan a year for building ships has already been criticized.

Feel like it's a complete waste.

This building boat, anyway, is to catch fish and deliver couriers.

Where is the need for so much funding?

If it weren't for Liu Che suppressing these voices, the court would have been arguing a long time ago!

Liu Che believes that if the Lou Chuan Yamen cannot prove the necessity of its existence.

I am afraid that when his supporters kick their legs, the next generation who will inherit it may have to burn down all the ships and shipyards, as well as the ship's design drawings and charts, at the instigation of others.

Just like after Zhu Di's death, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were on fire. Burn all traces of Zheng He's fleet.

China has always been very realistic.

Similar to Zheng He's fleet. Huge cost and investment in countless ocean-going fleets. Neither wealth nor benefit can be brought by it.

Keeping it is naturally a disaster for the country and the people.

Therefore, it cannot be said wrong that the civil servants burned it.

On the contrary, if Zheng He had lost his rituals, forgotten etiquette and morality, learned from Western colonizers, and carried out genocide. Loot wealth and population, and every time you sail back, you can be loaded with gold and silver.

Look at it, which civil official dares to burn?

Believe it or not, even if he moved a mast of the fleet, the emperor's labor and management would be able to peel off his skin!

Today's fleet of building ships, like Zheng He's fleet, is facing a crisis of existential value.

Liu Che must prove to the world that he invests the resources in the building every year. It's worth it.

In this way, the future fleet of Lou Ship can avoid repeating the tragedy of Zheng He's fleet.

Obviously, the current fleet of building ships does not yet have the ability to sail to the sea.

Even the most advanced Fukubune has many shortcomings. Just a kind of ship that can sail near the sea.

So, send a fleet, an expedition to India and even the Americas. Such a thing is impossible to happen for the time being.

It's the only thing that reflects its value. Actually, it's fishing.

For example, last year, Lou Ship dispatched three Lou Ship. With trawls, in the Xinhua Heishui River, tens of thousands of dried stone carp were caught, worth nearly 10,000 yuan.

It is precisely because of this confidence that Lou Chuan dared to continue to expand the size of its fleet this year, and also began to design new ships based on the concept of Fu Chuan.

But, this alone is not enough.

After all, it is possible to fish in inland rivers without boats.

What's more, the cost of trawling is high and it is difficult to manufacture, and the Shaofu Yamen is now able to produce no more than ten large trawls every year.

Salmon fishing alone is not enough to sustain the existence of the vessel.

There was no way, Liu Che had no choice but to magnify the move.

"Shang Shuling, let's draft an edict!"

Ji Di hurriedly sat down and picked up the pen and ink.

"General Lou Chuan, please order the captains of Lou Chuan: Whale, Taiyi has given my people good fortune, I have never led the people to whal, and I have always led the people to hunt whales, and I want to go deep and catch more! However, the whale is blessed by God, not the confinement of three or five people, and the people hunt whaling, and those who benefit are only three or five people, and it is a great pity that they cannot benefit the world. It is ordered to go up and down the building boat, supervise the whaling of the world, and the gentry of the people, and those who want to hunt whales, must have a report ship, and get the permission of the building ship, and then they can hunt whales.

The building ship should be the size of a whaling ship, and its tax should be collected, and the ship should be a foot long, and the tax should be 10,000 yuan per year.

Whoever does not take the whaling by order shall have the ship confiscated and shall be recovered ten times the tax payable!" ”

After Liu Che finished speaking, he said to Ji Di: "Go and hand over this edict to General Lou Chuan!" ”

"In addition, tell the building ship that the old mothballed building ship can be transformed into a whaling ship, and between Qilu - Liaodong - North Korea, whaling and refining oil, all of which will be lost to Shaofu!"

Civil whaling should be developed, and official whaling should naturally be vigorously promoted.

At present, there are at least 100 old-fashioned building ships in the Yamen, moored in various ports, doing nothing.

Rather than letting these ships blow the wind and sun in the harbor, they should be transformed into whaling ships and play a bigger role.

The most important thing is that the building ships built by the Han dynasty in the past, although not conducive to long-distance voyages, are the best carriers of whaling ships.

Because it's big enough first, and heavy enough second.

Ordinary sperm whales and gray whales can be dragged away directly, even if they are blue whales weighing tens of tons and more than 100 tons, these building ships can also be hunted.

"No!" Ji Di took the order and left.

"Now, it is estimated that the animal protection organizations of the future generations will spray me to death......" Liu Che thought in his heart.

On this earth, no matter what species, it is targeted by the Chinese.

If only it could be on the table.

Then, Liu Che just wants to say - ask for more blessings!

The people of the foodie empire are born destroyers of species.

And the whale is a creature that, obviously, is a creature that can be put on the table and has huge economic benefits.

In the foreseeable future, the whales in China's coastal waters and the Yuan Sea are in danger of extinction!

However, after thinking about it, Liu Che felt that such a future seemed impossible to happen.

That's right, the big foodie empire, once you look at a certain species, that species will be tragic.

However, in the present, traditional values and simple humanist ideas still deeply influence the people of the Han family.

Now, even illiterate hunters do not hunt in the spring, let alone hunt pregnant and female animals with cubs. Even many hunters go out of their way to let go of pregnant mothers and injured cubs that fall into traps.

Such a stupid thing as Guze and fish, the Chinese will not do it since ancient times.

So, in general, whales, as a species, should not be in danger of extinction.

However, no matter how carefree they want to be now, they have no natural predators, but they can only dream! (To be continued.) )
