In April of the following year, Gu Wenkai returned with an envoy from the Wandering Ghost Country, and told him that there were still tribes in Vladivostok and Boli that they were about to move, and they were currently trying to unify Liaodong and revive the Bohai Kingdom. At the end of June, Gu Hong brought envoys from Tianzhu, Ceylon, Srivijaya, Johor, and Java, as well as a large ship laden with gold and silver artifacts. After many years, the Great Cannibal has come to the East again.

Among the Tianzhu envoys were the Balo Dynasty in the north and the Chola Dynasty in the south, one was dominated by followers of the Wei Tuo Sect and fought fiercely against the Tianfang Sect of Great Food, and the other was a staunch defender of Buddhism, who liked to make a fortune in silence, and sometimes fought with the Polo and Ceylon.

What a mission that doesn't like each other......

These diplomatic relations gave the emperor a headache, and the empress only cared about the harvest. The flotilla's maiden voyage ended with a full load, but the other boats were not unscathed. The owner of an old boat who bought the Su family Xu was in Liuling City and dealt with the Chen Dynasty, and on the return trip, he did not obey the orders of Xu Zhiquan and Ming Ting, and secretly docked to trade, I don't know what went wrong, and was scuttled by the Chen Dynasty sailors when he approached the coast, in order to save these people, Ming Ting commanded the fortune boat to sink the two ships of the Chen Dynasty, threw down three lifeboats, and rescued his own people and Chen Chao's soldiers, including a general Chen Wulang, who was escorted back to Beijing together. A ship loaded with porcelain from the Mi family stayed in Ceylondo for a few days, and did not follow the fleet to Chennai in time.

This is the first claim case in the history of Dayu Insurance!

Empress Liangliang ordered Wu Shangshu to grasp it, for future events. The confession and physical evidence are complete, and the facts are clear, the owner of the small boat bought 800 taels of insurance, although it is the cheapest level, but he can get 10,000 taels of compensation from the city shipping department, and then the city shipping department will pursue the responsibility of the ship owner according to the investigation results of the criminal department, and ask for 50,000 yuan for the damage to the goods, otherwise he can go to the yamen to hand over the certificate and apply for the seizure of his property. The shipowner who regretted not selling his land and house, scraped together the money, and avoided going to Funing City to raise yaks.

As for the Mi family boat, they are reluctant to buy insurance, and they have nothing to do.

At this point, everyone knows the benefits of insurance, and began to carefully study the insurance regulations, only to find that the shipowner, cargo owner, and crew can buy insurance, and the royal fleet is forced by the queen to buy all of them, and in the event of an accident, even the crew's family can get a compensation. The people who had sharpened their heads and wanted to get into the city to stare at the money fell silent for a while.

On Qixi Festival, Shenzong took his wife to hunt and admire the moon in Xishan, and when he met the ground at night, he was afraid and returned. Queen Liangliang was obviously happier, and she went all the way to the deep pear nest, and went back to the bedroom and pestered her husband for a long time.

"Brother, I want a ......"

"Don't even think about it!"

"It's good to be small."

"No way!"

The emperor, who had eaten and wiped clean, began to speak badly again. This is not to blame him, it is really that the musket and artillery he saw tonight are too powerful, the musket directly pierces the body of a cow and explodes in the body, and the artillery directly collapses half of the mountain. Not only was his face pale, but even his father-in-law and master, who were usually quiet, were dumbfounded, and the others were simply wooden chickens. It's this power that only got her a 'range is okay, the accuracy is not good', but the picture drawn later should solve this problem. When he copied the drawings to Old Man Tian, he looked ecstatic as if he had obtained a treasure, it was really two heavens of ice and fire.

The soft queen began to show her more and more skillful coquettish skills, rubbing and rubbing, "Brother, I don't want bullets, don't you want a bullet, make a commemoration." ”

Yuan Yi's heart was soft and hot, she almost never took the initiative to ask for something, it was rare once, it was a big deal to make a delicate and beautiful gun case for her, anyway, the danger was bullets, without these it was just a toy.

"Then you have to promise that you will never sneak bullets."

"Brother should also be careful with this, it is very common for the initial product to be fried."

"Don't avoid answering," Yuan Yi smiled angrily, biting her slightly swollen red lips, "If you don't agree, you don't have to discuss!" ”

The angry Gu Yu roared softly, "I promise not to touch the bullet!" Then he swooped down viciously, ravaged and ravaged again.

***********************

On the Qianqiu Festival, Empress Fangchen, Shenzong promulgated an important edict known as the 'Open Sea Order' in history:

First of all, the seven coastal cities of Tianjin, Fengjin, Jinling, Langya, Andong, Linan, and Guangdong are allowed to set up one port for free foreign trade; Determine the tax rate of goods sold for export and import - 15 tax for fine goods, 20 tax for coarse goods; Commodities that are strictly prohibited from being exported – minerals, ordnance, horses, currency, grain, etc.; Clarify the composition of port management personnel, spot check goods, review manifests, and sell insurance is the head of the Municipal Shipping Division, and it is the director of the Degree Branch Division who collects and counts taxes and premiums into the national treasury every month; The compensation is determined by the inspector of the Imperial History, the Audit Department and the local management of the criminal name, and the classification society of the Industrial Construction Bureau is the consultant. This article clarifies that the collection and collection of customs duties are the affairs of the Ministry of Taxation and the Ministry of Households, and that the monthly reports of ports are submitted to the prefect, the Ministry of Taxation, and the Ministry of Household Affairs at the same time, so as to avoid the breeding of corruption as much as possible. Once the problem is discovered, all the staff at the port will sit down and go to the new border city to develop a new life!

Secondly, the six edicts, the kingdom of Pyu, Goryeo, Ryukyu and Annam were recovered, and the king sent officials and immigrated to garrison. Send a note to the Chen Dynasty, Iberia, and Hongmaoyi to retreat, if you resist stubbornly, just wait to be disabled!

Thirdly, it sent trade notes to Liugui, Dongying, Sriwijaya, Johor, Java and other countries, canceled tribute, and sent embassies to each other to build residences in Hong Kong to protect Chinese merchants.

In addition, it exchanged letters with Ceylon, Chola Dynasty, Pala Dynasty, Da Shi, Chenla, Khmer, Siam and other countries to discuss mutual trade.

Finally, they signed a mutual trade alliance agreement with Bo Qiuge, they withdrew from Jeju Island, Penghu, Chongming Island and Xiandao within half a year, and could directly stop at Dayu Seven Port, and were the only agent in Europe for a period of ten years.

Since a warning is to be issued, it is natural to send troops to deliver credentials, and the artillery corps formed when the Industrial Construction Bureau began to try to produce firearms has officially appeared in front of the world, and this army is currently 1,500 people, each of the 500 artillery is equipped with a baggage soldier responsible for carrying and an auxiliary soldier responsible for loading and unloading, and each army is allocated 100 artillery, and the palace is 100, together with its baggage and auxiliary soldiers.

At present, the musket is only a miniature version of the artillery, and the recoil and danger are very large, and under Gu Ci's insistence, the stability is not guaranteed, and it is resolutely not allowed to be issued to the sergeants. She drew several styles of pistols and shotguns from memory, but she did not understand the internal structure, but she still listened to several discussions of craftsmen, and only then did she come up with the simple process of 'pulling the trigger, hitting the flint on the anvil with shrapnel, rubbing out sparks, igniting gunpowder, and firing the bullets', so that the craftsmen did not have to take some detours. After the demonstration of the Industrial Construction Bureau, the firearms battalion and some fireworks craftsmen, the 'six-wheel flintlock pistol' was selected as the key research direction, and began to tackle key problems. Under the auspices of Xiao Yan, the Royal Medical Center began to quietly study the treatment of gunshot wounds.

When the artillery was transported out of the capital, it happened to be the first appearance of the warships of the Andong Navy at the south ferry port of the capital. Much smaller than commercial ships, the only difference in appearance is the three sets of masts, and the strange thing is that there is a chimney smoking on the ship, even if the sails are not raised, the ship moves freely, and many old sailors notice that there is an abnormality in the bottom and stern of the ship, which seems to be draining. It's a pity that ordinary people are not allowed to get on the ship this time, only the emperor and queen, the cabinet, and the scholars went up. The queen was still holding the wooden board paper to write and draw, as if there was not much content, Xiao Jiu and the old man Tian breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

When they returned to the deck, the Emperor approached the port side, and in the distance, two wooden dhows sailed swiftly there, and then one boat stopped, and the sailors all got on the other and returned to their places, leaving only the unmanned boat, the size of a small black dot, fluttering. The officials, envoys, and people on the shore were looking forward to it, not knowing what they were doing.

I saw three sailors in different uniforms get off the deck, and a moment later, the first mate on board gave a password, "All in place - ready - release!" ”

With a loud bang, the hull of the ship shook slightly, and a swarthy thing flew from the side of the second floor on the east side to the small boat in the distance, hitting accurately, making a series of rumbling explosions and fragments, and the boat turned into broken planks and floated on the water that had not yet calmed down. It was a long time before the silent crowd erupted in deafening applause. The envoys had different expressions, such as Shu Ming Natuo and Wu Ning, who were die-hard fans who planned to stay in Shangjing to learn the culture of the Central Plains, and they were overjoyed that they had hugged the right thighs, and there were similar to the happiness of the Buddha Machine, and there were also nervousness and worry like the Great Cannibal.

In short, this was a very effective military parade, which made the Dayu Guoshu full of weight.

After a small adjustment, the three warships added more than a dozen sealed cabins on the bottom to prevent the sinking of the ship due to breaking the bottom into the water, and set sail from Andong after the Double Ninth Festival, first going to Dongying to go to Ezo, Kuwu, and Liugui, going around Goryeo and Ryukyu to face Hongmaoyi, and then going to Penghu to collect the island, and then occupying Chongming Island, so as to take the Chen Dynasty and Saigon. Then stationed at Longya Gate, one ship protected the officials and merchants on their way to the country of Pyu, and the other continued to Johor, Java, Khmer, Siam, and Chenla to exchange the letters of the merchants.
