Go to a hundred miles east of Xinhua City, a river bay in the lower reaches of the Heishui River.

Two huge ships of buildings and ships, going up the river.

For the first time, a human-made war giant has appeared in an ancient river.

The huge building ship lowered its huge sails, relying on human power to paddle and chop the waves.

A few bears waiting for a school of fish on the riverbank were so frightened by these two behemoths that they ran into the woods.

In the Bird Room (command cabin), a young officer sits in it.

He moved his muscles a little boredly.

"Major General, it's only a hundred miles away from Xinhua City!" An officer who was clearly a deputy reported the distance.

Hearing this, Xu Yan nodded.

As the son of the Han Dynasty building ship general Song Zihou Xu Han.

Although Xu Yan now only hangs the so-called 'Lou Chuan Sima' in the Yamen of the Lou Ship General.

But in fact, the Han Korean fleet, which uses Qinhuangdao in Liaoxi County as its home port, is currently under his command and management.

Last year, the Han dynasty set up the Yamen, the general of the Lou Boat, to oversee all kinds of warships and warships in the world.

Then, according to the order of the Son of Heaven, the general of the building boat, Yamen, selected four deep-water ports among the coastal counties of the world, and set up four offshore fleets stationed in each of them, responsible for managing maritime affairs.

Because, up to now, the Han family has not found any enemies from the sea, and there are no maritime interests to maintain.

So, all four fleets are small in size.

Taking Xu Yan's North Korean fleet as an example, there were only four ships under its command, plus more than a dozen auxiliary ships such as warships, and its main work in peacetime was to patrol and patrol the coastline from Qinhuangdao to North Korea. Fishing and fishing.

It's very idle.

It was only two months ago, after the imperial court began to emigrate to North Korea, Liaodong, and Xinhua, that Qinhuangdao became lively.

For a time, there were dozens of building ships that had gone on an expedition to North Korea last time, as well as more than 100 other auxiliary ships of various sizes.

These new ships were all dismantled from combat facilities and weapons. Converted into a transport ship.

Non-stop delivery of supplies and personnel from Qinhuangdao to North Korea.

And the volume of these ships, especially the building ships, is very staggering.

A building ship can go back and forth to North Korea three times a month, transporting hundreds of immigrants, all their belongings, and all the food and materials allocated to them by the state to the North Korean port of Siseon, which is the port where the Han fleet landed.

Because the Han army landed from there, and then eliminated the brutal Wei regime, bringing love and justice to the land of Korea.

Therefore, the name was 'Shishan'.

Xu Yan was only killed by his father at the beginning of the immigration operation. hurriedly dispatched to Qinhuangdao.

On the one hand, it was to supervise and supervise the fleet of Qinhuangdao on behalf of the general Yamen.

On the other hand, it is to brush up on political achievements and prestige, so that it is convenient for the son to inherit his father's business and inherit the position of General Lou Chuan in the future.

"How's our cargo going?" Xu Yan turned his head and asked.

"Major General, all cargo is in order!" The adjutant replied respectfully.

Xu Yan nodded when he heard this, and put his heart in his stomach.

The materials transported to Xinhua City this time are very important.

In the city of Chang'an. There is more than one pair of eyes on this transport mission at all times.

Otherwise, how could Xu Yan risk going to sea with the fleet?

"I heard that Xinhua is very good......" Xu Yan walked out of the finch room. Standing on the top deck of the ship, looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait, I thought to myself: "I should be able to make a fortune......

As the imperial court began to promote the reclamation, a large number of people and materials were mobilized in the northeast direction.

This has created a large emerging market and a thriving trade route.

Ginseng, deer skin, deer antler, and fur from Korea, Xinhua, and Maban are in great demand in China.

A bearskin in perfect condition. In Chang'an, the price often exceeds tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

The more expensive mink, fox and otter skins are even more priceless.

Cloth, spices, silk and pottery, bronze products, and ironware produced in China are also very popular in these regions.

An iron piece produced by the salt and iron yamen. The price in Chang'an is not more than 1,000 yuan.

But in these places, it is easy to exchange this for a perfect fur, and even, often, there is a legend that a certain merchant has taken shit luck and taken a quick burlap for a large piece of dog's head gold.

Trade is so thriving and profits are so high.

Naturally, it has attracted the covetousness of all forces in the world.

For example, the commander of the East China Sea, who was stationed in Jiaodong by the general of the Lou boat and the Yamen, has recently been making a small report to Chang'an: Wang Xiongqu in Jiaodong has no king's law, and private shipbuilding seems to be wrong.

And Liu Xiongqu, the king of Jiaodong, did not grow up eating grass, so he immediately took a bite back: the governor of the East China Sea won the victory, privately brought and entrained goods, blackmailed the people, and competed with the people for profit.

This tearing war even hit the Son of Heaven directly.

Xu Yan is very clear about these inside stories.

In the final analysis, it is still the wealth that touches people's hearts!

Langya Port in Jiaodong is the home port of the East China Sea Fleet selected by the general of the building.

The port is the best deep-water port in Jiaodong, which can berth more than 100 ships at a time.

With the development of the Northeast region and the reclamation of the Tun Tun, the merchants and immigrants in Qilu and other places basically passed through Langya Port and sailed directly to Korea along the course of the last Han fleet expedition to Korea.

In other words, whoever controls Langya Port may control a large commercial port with a daily transaction volume of more than 10 million.

Liu Xiongqu was already poor and was about to go crazy.

Now, such a big pie has fallen from the sky, and if he doesn't want to catch it, I'm afraid he will be a fool.

And the general of Lou Chuan, of course, will not watch the hands of the local people reach into their own territory.

Therefore, this tearing is actually the front between Liu Xiongqu, the king of Jiaodong, and Xu Yan's father, Xu Han.

And Xu Yan has no doubt about the result of his father's final victory!

The reason is very simple: the Son of Heaven is on the side of the general Yamen of Lou Chuan!

If it weren't for Liu Xiongqu being a clan, this would have been the general of Lou Chuan, Yamen, would have been celebrating the victory.

Thinking about this, Xu Yan walked to the side of the deck and looked at the plain in the distance.

In the distance, on the plain, there was a faint curling smoke.

Look at the land. Xu Yan is also full of expectations.

Because it is said that the Son of Heaven will give the princes and heroes in this new land, and divide them again.

In other words, somewhere in this corner of the land, there may be a piece. In the future, he will have the surname Xu.

Songzi waited for the Xu family, starting from Xu Han's grandfather, and was a well-known master of farming.

In 30 years, Songzi Houguo has changed from a wilderness to a land of fish and rice.

Although, since last year, the Xu family has planned to re-wash their talents and become oceanographers. But this kind of Tian instinct is deeply engraved in the bone marrow of every descendant of the Xu family.

So much so that when Xu Yan remembered that his family might have to take another fief equal to the area of Songzi Houguo, he couldn't help but think that in the future, he would replicate the development experience of Songzi Houguo in that place.

With the technology of repairing the earth, the old Xu family is currently NO1 among the Han princes.

…………………………

After three hours of sailing, the ship successfully arrived at the port outside Xinhua City.

Because the port is so small, only one building ship can barely stop.

Therefore, Xu Yan asked another building boat to stop in the river first. His own ship docked first.

Arriving at the dock, the boat lowered a huge plank. Then, Xu Yan walked off the ship with several officers.

On the dock, several officials wearing official uniforms were immediately welcomed.

Among them, there are Xu Yan's acquaintances.

As soon as Xu Yan saw the other party, he immediately bowed his hand and bowed, "Brother Ziren, I haven't seen you for a long time......"

And Bo Shi also smiled slightly and bowed his hand back: "Brother Xian has been absent for a long time!" ”

Bo Shi, the word Ziren. The so-called 'must be born and then benevolent', the expression of the Han Dynasty, is to echo with their own names, can corroborate each other.

For example, everyone is familiar with Zhao Yun. The word dragon is that the cloud extends from the dragon.

Zhang Fei expressed the word Yide, how can you fly without wings?

Random random table words, that is a manifestation of no culture, going out to be laughed at!

The two sons of the family chatted for a while and chatted about some Chang'an.

Then, Xu Yan said: "Brother Ziren, I was ordered to transport three trawl nets to my brother, and I also asked Brother Ziren to check and sign for receipt, in addition, on the orders of His Majesty, the two building boats led by Brother Yu will obey my brother's orders in the next three months, and catch black water fish every two days!" ”

As he spoke, Xu Yan handed Bo Shi an official letter written on a blank piece of paper.

Bo Shi took it and said with a smile: "There is Brother Lao Xian!" ”

………………………………

A quarter of an hour later, when Bo Shi looked at it, dozens of Han soldiers and soldiers, carrying a huge net that was neatly folded together, was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

"It's so huge!" Bo Shi smashed his tongue, he finally understood why the Son of Heaven ordered the dispatch of two precious building ships to Xinhua City to cooperate.

Such a huge net is simply not something that can be pulled by manpower!

And with the giant net disembarked, there were also several craftsmen from the Shaofu and an official who was obviously dressed as an ink man - who in the world would be barefoot except for the ink man?

"These three trawls are woven by craftsmen in Shaofu East Garden, and just hemp costs tens of thousands of catties! Each trawl, 130 zhang long, 12 zhang wide, with coarse linen as a rope, reinforced by a wooden tube, weighs more than 1,000 catties! After the ink master got off the boat, he proudly introduced this unprecedented fishing weapon created by the wisdom of Mo Yuan and Shaofu.

The emergence of such large-scale nets indicates that human beings can now catch countless fish in rivers and oceans on a large scale.

After the trawl was successfully manufactured, an experiment was carried out in the Wei River.

Experiments have shown that the trawl nets pulled by two medium-sized building boats can catch all the large and small fish in the river, so that no grass is left.

Because it was so buggy, the Prime Minister's Office ordered that trawling nets should not be used in the Wei River - if they were to use trawling nets in the Wei River, the fishermen in Guanzhong would be cornered.

And even if he came to this Xinhua City, the Son of Heaven specially ordered that the trawl should not be used for more than two consecutive days.

This is also the spirit that China's rulers have implemented in their own ruling philosophy since ancient times: we cannot kill them all.

From the Western Zhou Dynasty onwards, pregnant and lactating beasts were not on the hunt list.

This is benevolence.

Of course, as one of the makers of this trawl, this ink artist is also very aware that in fact, this kind of trawl is limited by materials and technology, and it is impossible to work uninterruptedly.

Every two days, there is a trawl, which must be overhauled and inspected as well as dried.

Otherwise, in a few days, this trawl will rot.

And Xu Yan and Bo Shi were shocked by the word 'East Garden'.

As we all know, there are six temples in Shaofu, each performing its own duties.

Among them, the Dongyuan Ling Yamen was the concentration of craftsmen and craftsmen of the highest level in the Han Dynasty.

This organization, in normal times, will only do one thing - to make spiritual weapons for the emperors of all generations.

The yellow intestine inscriptions and golden jade clothes in the tombs of all the princes and kings in the world are all from the East Garden.

Therefore, the East Garden is also known as the 'Garden of Hell'.

The craftsmen of the East Garden can even weave silk into a ** as thin as a cicada's wings, and can also cast lifelike bronze figures.

There is even a legend that there is a bronze mirror that can clearly see the portrait of a person in the Baling Tomb, which is the craftsman of the East Garden, who spent ten years grinding it out bit by bit.

In other words, this institution is a concentration camp of top craftsmen who can paint on eggs with their hands.

And this trawl actually has to be woven by craftsmen in the East Garden.

To a certain extent, this shows that the technical difficulty of this trawl has surpassed the ordinary and excellent, and reached the limit of what human hands can weave.

This made Bo Shi's heart immediately filled with infinite confidence.

Bo Shi looked at the Heishui River in front of him, and immediately laughed.

With three of these huge nets, the fish in this black water river don't want to run! (To be continued......)
