On the second day of discussion, Liu Feng and Yuwen Jiayou returned north to Bohai Bay in the east of the Lion City.

Gaocheng Port in Bohai Bay, established for many years, although it has been somewhat dilapidated due to war, it still has some infrastructure, and it is a natural haven, plus there are many salt farms along the coast, and it is also an important place in the Lion City.

Several fleets in Lion City and Gaocheng Port have also been controlled by the sergeants under Yuwen Jiayou, all of whom are moored in the port, and the reason why Liu Feng personally came to inspect it is that he wants to really understand the current navigation technology, and then he also wants to use his golden finger and come up with some golden ideas, so that his fleet is not only a fleet of commercial transportation.

Eight hundred miles of travel, Liu Feng and others also worked hard, facing the wind and snow, and arrived at Gaocheng Port.

The crew of the fleet that has just been reorganized lined up in the port early to welcome Liu Feng's arrival, most of them are fishermen and salt households by the sea, and after the Khitan nobles such as Wuliji were exterminated, they had to belong to the newly built Fanyang Mansion, but Liu Feng treated these poor villagers very attentively, so that these crew members were willing to work for him sincerely.

Riding a horse to the port of Gaocheng, some crew members wearing thin robes, Liu Feng's heart was sour, the villagers under his rule, if they want to live a life without worrying about food and clothing, he still has to work hard for a few more years.

Standing on the harbor, the wind blows across the sea, and the waves come in, bringing with them a cold, salty smell. There are more than a dozen ships of various sizes moored in the harbor, all of which are slightly old.

Feng had a disappointed expression on his face, and Yuwen Jiayou behind him said in a slow voice: "These sea ships are all built by the Southern Tang Dynasty or the Jing Navy, although they are heavy, they are very safe to sail on the sea.

Liu Feng carefully observed the sea boats moored in the harbor, there were several slightly larger ships, about ten meters long, about one meter wide, and one mast on board.

Yuwen Jiayou introduced to Liu Feng that this is an eight-hundred-material sea ship, Liu Feng carefully calculated, just like a cargo ship with a displacement of dozens of tons in later generations, Liu Feng also had defensive weapons such as a slap rod on board.

There are more than a dozen crew members on the ship, helmsmen, sailors, and other necessary manpower for the ship, plus a team of sergeants, this is all the personnel of a ship, Liu Feng can hardly imagine how such a warship can exert its power?

In Yuwen Jiayou's introduction, Liu Feng realized that in this era, there were thousands of large ships in Jinghai in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there were even nearly 10,000 ships in Minzhou Port in Jinghai, Lin'an Port in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Subsequently, the war in the north did not subside for a long time, and a large number of talented villagers went south, resulting in the southward migration of the entire culture and technology, and that wild land was gradually developed.

Although Liu Feng didn't know much about sea ships, his serious attitude of seeking advice made Yuwen Jiayou dare not slack off, and carefully explained the specifications, types, and roles of sea ships.

Liu Feng didn't put forward some aspects that have never existed in the current sea vessels, such as the knowledge of making nautical charts and navigation, the nutrition of crews, the combination of soft and hard sails, and the change of ship types. Facing the sea breeze, Yuwen Jiayou and Liu Feng were at the port of Gaocheng, discussing one by one the development direction of the sea ships in Fanyang Mansion, Yuwen Jiayou slowly put down his Gaoshi shelf, and felt more and more unfathomable that Liu Feng was unfathomable.

He knew that it was far from enough to only establish a sea ship business transport team, and only with a strong army of sea operations could the interests of all this be guaranteed, and having such a fleet would definitely promote his future development.

Therefore, Liu Feng and Yuwen Jiayou stopped at Gaocheng Port and invited experienced shipwrights and shipwrights to discuss the future fleet of Fanyang Mansion. After a few days of contact with Liu Feng, these shipwrights found that they were not terrible as young military envoys, although they did not have much experience in sailing, but they had far-reaching and unique vision, which they were far from reaching.

Liu Feng also slowly put down the shelf, and in the heated discussion with everyone, seeing that the old boatman let go of his heart, he smiled and said: "Lao Li, do you want to lead such a fleet across the ocean?" ”

I saw a person in the hall, with a strange face and a long and short yellow beard on his cheeks, it was Li Qi, a new shipwright recruited by Liu Feng and others, he was a boatman who fled from Liaodong, and when he saw Fanyang Mansion recruiting boatmen, he came to apply, and the clear-eyed people knew that Li Qi was a person with a story, that is, he was born with a strange appearance, but he was also a capable person, and it happened that Liu Feng accepted him, and they also talked about each other very well.

Li Qi picked up the wine in front of the table, drank it all, and said briskly: "How unwilling, being able to cross this ocean is the lifelong wish of the Sprinkle family!" ”

Liu Feng's eyes were shining, and he affirmed: "Lao Li, let go of your heart, five years!" Within five years, you will definitely be able to lead a powerful fleet across the oceans! ”

Saying that, Liu Feng raised his glass and invited everyone to drink it all!

Everyone present will not doubt what Liu Feng said, and in the past few days, everyone has been shocked by Liu Feng's ability, and everyone has a completely new concept of navigation, the construction of sea ships, the development of weapons of warships, and the training of naval forces.

Seeing everyone talking impassionedly about how brave the navy will be in the future.

Liu Feng, Yuwen Jiayou, Li Qi and the others were still very calm, without how the people under the hall cheered, Yuwen Jiayou said slowly: "To establish a navy, the Liaodong Navy Lin'an Navy and the Minzhou Navy are not easy to match, Captain Li has a long way to go!" ”

Li Qi has been appointed by Liu Feng as the captain of the Sea Wolf Battalion in Fanyang Mansion, responsible for the formation and training of the naval army, and the protection of caravan transportation, this is also the fastest promoted captain under Liu Feng, as a sergeant who has just defected, he was entrusted with such a heavy task, but Yuwen Jiayou's words also have some beating meaning.

Li Qi said honestly as if he didn't understand: "That's true, there are three major fleets in Liaodong and Lin'an Minzhou on the sea, and my Fanyang Mansion and Huainan Haizhou are general, although they are close to the coast, but they don't have the natural convenience of developing a navy. ”

Liu Feng was silent, and the interesting Wen Jiayou and Li Qi argued.

Yuwen Jiayou saw that Li Qi did not accept the offer, and said: "The rise of my Fanyang Mansion Navy will definitely attract the attention of the three major Navy armies, and they may jointly suppress my Fanyang Mansion Navy at sea, I don't know if Captain Li has a solution!?" ”

Li Qi shook his head and said disdainfully: "For now, it is impossible for my Seawolf Battalion to pose a threat to them in two years, and if you want to get rid of the Liaodong Naval Army, the other two naval armies will still not target my Fanyang Mansion, and after two years, as the general said, the warships, ballistas, artillery, etc. are fully equipped, so why be afraid of others?" ”

Liu Feng said with a smile: "It's still thoughtful for the two of you!" Then he said to the two of them: "The training of the sea wolf camp should be faster, first start training the people of the capital, go south with the ship, time waits for no one, the two of you must work together and do it as soon as possible!" ”

When the two saw Liu Feng speak, they stopped arguing, and went out to take orders.
