Chapter 527: Ship and Engine

Kite didn't even look at him, he couldn't help but feel very sad, and finally realized what the prince felt at the beginning. He likes her wholeheartedly, and is so good to her, why can't he win this girl's heart?

Waiting for everyone to go out, Guo Wenying said to the kite: "Don't be sad, think about what to do in the future, if you want to follow him, ask him to marry you, and no one dares to force you if you don't want to." It's just that there's a layer of film missing, it's nothing, you're still you, just be served by a man. ”

Kite looked at her in surprise, I don't know why Miss thinks so? A woman is unclean when she follows a man, how can she become a man serving her when she reaches Miss's mouth?

But since things are already like this, what can be done? It is impossible for the young lady to kill Xu Hai for her. What's more, she wasn't unmoved by him at all, otherwise she wouldn't have complied that day.

Her face flushed slightly, and she said in a low voice, "Let's talk about everything when Miss comes back." ”

The navy wants to go to sea to encircle and suppress the Japanese invaders, and she also knows that she doesn't want to burden the young lady at this time. In the final analysis, she refused not resolutely enough.

The warships of the Xinnan Navy are the four teams of Yan Array, Xinying, Jufeng, and Xiangluo.

This was originally the name of the four large ships, because the ship became the flagship of the team, and each fleet was named after the flagship. The Wild Goose Formation has twelve three-masted ships, which are the latest equipment, and the largest one, and the New British Fleet consists of four large ships and twenty small boats, the smallest and the most expensive. This group has been loaded with more than 100 newly made guns, and has taken a less peaceful route, and is a fleet with strong combat effectiveness.

Xu Hai pulled out the two fleets of the wild goose array and Xinying this time, and showed up the team in the port together.

For more than a year, there were only a few warships, a dozen warships, and now it has developed into four fleets, and the imperial court has invested too much money in it, and in order to build these ships, the treasury has been emptied.

As a result, let the navy suppress the bandits, look at the achievements of more than a year, the grandma of the bandits, the widows have not been cleaned up now, and the face is strong on the girl, and his face is big enough?

As soon as Guo Wenying saw Xu Haiqi, he didn't fight anywhere, if he was in front of many sailors, he really wanted to slap him.

Xu Hai also knew that she was weak, so she let people hold behind her, and she didn't dare to get close, so she hid from afar.

Guo Wenying looked at the battleships in the distance and asked, "How many people are in these fleets?"

Xu Haidao: "Plus there are about 30,000 shipwrights, and the weapons and equipment are all up to date, and the shipyard is new, and it hasn't been used yet." ”

Guo Wenying stood in Beitan Port and saw two big ships entering the port. One is a lucky ship with no sails, and the other is a Francophone boat, which is very handsome. The oars of both boats stretched out of the long oars, which were cut open in unison with the sound of the trumpet, and the speed was not slow. The two boats seemed to be heading for port four, pushing the waves against the shore, and passing in front of her.

She couldn't help frowning, "What kind of ships are these?"

Xu Haidao: "It's a merchant ship." Since the imperial court opened the sea ban, Quanzhou's commercial port has not been opened, so it uses military ports to load and unload goods, and most of these ships go to Shuangyu Island. The construction of the naval army costs too much money, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are not in order, so let these merchant ships borrow them for the time being and give some rent. ”

Xu Hai said, as if he was afraid of being scolded by Guo Wenying, and hurriedly said: "Not all ships have entered the port, of course, after a special review." ”

Guo Wenying knew that as soon as the sea ban was opened, some discerning businessmen couldn't wait. Commercial ports could not be used, so the idea was hit on military ports. Xu Hai did this behind the back of the imperial court, although it was not a big deal, but once it was found out, it would definitely be a big trouble.

This kid has really gotten bolder and bolder in the past two years, and he can actually do this. This is a mix of military and commercial use, and it is very easy to leak information. And he is good at making money, and he has forgotten about training troops and fighting wars, so it is no wonder that he has beaten the Japanese several times, and he has made people fight like bears.

The matter has been done, and scolding him at this time can't relieve any anger, Guo Wenying asked him to call a few merchant ship directors to come over and ask about something.

Xu Hai didn't dare to hide his secrets, so he called some people who had a good relationship with him every day. Those few were not the owners of the ship, they were all in charge of the ship, and they didn't know what was going on, they just nodded vigorously. There are also questions and answers to Guo Wenying's words.

Guo Wenying learned from them that the goods shipped out of China and Turkey were often indispensable to foreign countries. Tea, spices, silk, porcelain, saltpeter, sulfur, oil. If you are used to it, you will never leave, and Japanese swords and firearms from the South Seas are also sold at a good price in Middle-earth.

And most of these ships are in and out of Shuangyu Island, Shuangyu has been in operation for 20 years, a circle around the port of shipwreck, Hui merchants and Minnan gang have died countless deaths, and the surviving ship owners are making a windfall. When encountering a tough source of goods and a buyer who pays happily, "a shipload of goods, half a shipload of silver" is not a difficult thing. Merchant ships shipped jade and fine tea to Japan, and when they returned, they exchanged ballast for silver.

A brig carried half a shipload of peppercorns, and on the Luzon route came across a Franc ship, which traded 800 ounces of gold for the dirt. They were frightened to complete the transaction under the cannon, pulled up the full sail and returned to the port, cried and laughed at the port restaurant, washed their feet with wine, called the virgin to pick up the guests, and all stood up and knocked on the bowl and sang in chorus.

They were amazed to find that overseas trade had such great benefits, and there were originally only a few ships to transport goods overseas, but now it has developed into more than a dozen ships, and the number is still increasing. It's just that this Beitan port is military, and there is only one place where ships can be parked, and there is no room for so many ships to enter and exit.

Guo Wenying thought about it, originally she was still worried about the lost silver in the construction of Quanzhou Port, but it seemed that she could take advantage of the eagerness of these merchants at this time. It is not difficult to give some preferential policies and raise money.

She told Xu Hai that he would introduce a merchant ship and that she would go to Shuangyu Island to have a look.

Xu Hai persuaded a few words but didn't persuade him, so he had to find the steward of the Daxing merchant ship and bring him to see her.

Xu Hai didn't say Guo Wenying's identity, but said that this was his own relative, and he wanted to go to Shuangyu Island to do some goods and let their merchant ships take a ride.

The steward's surname is Yang, and they all call him Yang Shopkeeper, and when he heard that it was just such a trivial matter, he nodded hurriedly, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I will definitely take care of Sister Ling." ”

He saw that Guo Wenying was a woman, and thought it was Xu Hai's sister.

Xu Haixin said, what about my sister, how dare I have such a sister? This is my aunt and grandmother, so I didn't kill me.

Shopkeeper Yang was quite realistic, saying that he was going to take them to Shuangyu Island, and they set off from Beiyu early the next morning.
