Hei San sailed and followed in the envy of everyone, and Cheng Hong deliberately learned about Hei San's situation and highly praised Hei San's flexible use!

And it would be much easier for the fleet to go back, let go of the speed of the full sail, and go straight to Datang!

As for the direction, Li Chunfeng has already calculated it, and in the past few days, Li Chunfeng has calculated more and more quickly, I heard that Li Chunfeng is researching a method of quickly calculating the direction, and he already has some clues!

For the point, Cheng Hong is strongly supportive, convenient, which means that you can quickly master, if you really learn for a few years and cover your head and brain, Cheng Hong is not happy!

If that's the case, Cheng Hong might as well let the ship go around the shore, it's safe and convenient, it's a big deal to land on the boat!

In fact, you can also reach Spice Island along the coast, but it is just slower, as long as the small islands in this circle avoid the reef and find a good waterway, it is actually safer to walk down this circle than Cheng Hong.

It's just that it's the people, not the boats, that are safe! There are many small islands and reefs along the way, and you won't be able to find this way without a few hundred boats!

And this is for those families, if you go to Zhancheng to transport grain, then you didn't say it, if you want to go to Spice Island to transport spices, then I'm sorry, or you go directly in a daze.

If you don't dare, you can only walk along the coast, avoiding reefs and islands, there is no danger of death, but if you want to get there safely, people are definitely safe.

As the fleet wore on, the island became more familiar to them, and the crowd cheered when they first saw the fleet of ships carrying grain from Champa to the shore!

It's finally back! And when I think of the spices in the cabin, my heart is even hotter, it's all money, and this time I can take half of the money as a seizure.

Cheng Hong looked at the fleets coming and going, and his heart was hot, the food was finally enough! Otherwise, the caravan and the city that is about to start construction are all big consumers of food, and Cheng Hong is unwilling to leave it behind.

The spices of my own ship can only be exchanged for gold coins, and it is impossible to exchange them for food! There is no idle food in the whole Datang!

As for whether it will hollow out the city? Whatever, it's not his own country anyway, one less will die in the pit!

Finally, Cheng Hong returned to Quanzhou with a ship loaded with spices and precious wood.

Now Quanzhou is not the Quanzhou when Cheng Hong left, the whole Quanzhou port is full of people, and there are merchant ships coming and going, coming to pull salted fish and all kinds of dried seafood......

Came with silk, cloth, porcelain...... and all kinds of daily necessities, back and forth, and the people of Quanzhou City are rich people, and they don't even blink their eyelids when they buy things.

There are goods to sell, and when you go back, you can bring some Quanzhou specialties and make money back and forth!

And there is no one here in Quanzhou to load and unload for you, whether people enter the factory or fish for seafood, they earn more than you loading and unloading, so this ship has to bring its own loading and unloading people.

And the people who brought it found that Quanzhou City was so easy to make money, and they bought houses in Quanzhou one by one, preparing to settle in Quanzhou.

Now the occupancy rate in Quanzhou has reached about 80%.

The news of Cheng Hong's return immediately spread throughout the entire port, and then spread to the entire Quanzhou City, and Li Ke immediately went to the port happily to greet him!

And Cheng Hong leaned the ship against the port and began to unload things, these spices and wood had to be unloaded, and then loaded onto the Chen-class battleship and pulled to Chang'an City!

I don't know if I don't unload, and I was stunned by all the people in the port! People may not know this wood, but everyone knows this spice!

And as soon as this thing appeared, the whole port smelled of spices! And watching the boats being unloaded one by one, people were completely numb with shock!

When Li Ke came, Cheng Hong was directing everyone to put the spices in the warehouse, except for the black three that did not need to be unloaded, all of them were put into the warehouse!

Heisan's ship was going to be sent to Chang'an with spices. Li Ke shouted from afar: "Brother-in-law, can this journey be considered smooth?"

Cheng Hong rolled his eyes, others call their brother-in-law, but this group of people in Li Er's family call their brother-in-law purely to take advantage! Anyway, Cheng Hong didn't bother to bother with them!

After arriving closer, looking at the thick sandalwood on the boat, Li Ke couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "This, it's all sandalwood?"

Cheng Hong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and pointed to Heisan's ship with his hand, Li Ke looked at it carefully for a while, and his eyes almost didn't pop out: "Huang Tan? The whole ship is sandalwood? ”

Cheng Hong nodded: "Don't be red, that ship is going to be given to my father, and it is estimated that this ship will be like this in the future, just forget it!" Even my father wouldn't be building another one! Otherwise, Uncle Yu and Aya can block the court and scold his father! ”

"Is it okay to build a smaller one?"

Cheng Hong said: "What's the use of you making it!" It doesn't do you any good except to make you look out for discipline! You just want to be scolded so much? ”

Li Ke was a pity for a while.

After Cheng Hong came back, Li Ke was able to hide and clean, and the stewards of the major families came to him, with two purposes, first, to buy a boat. Second, by the way, ask Cheng Hong where the spices came from!

As for whether Cheng Hong will tell them where the Spice Island is, they didn't think about it, anyway, if there is a grain island, it will be done, and if the Spice Island is completed, it won't be anything, right?

And Cheng Hong is having a headache here for who is going to deliver things! Hei San will definitely follow, if it is appropriate, it is best to go with Zhang Yuanli.

But Zhang Yuanli is the eyes and ears of the emperor, although you have nothing to do here, but it is not good to send Zhang Yuanli back.

And for the first time, it can be said that there is a former Sui prince, and Zhang Yuanli must escort him! But although there is a lot of money this time, there is really nothing that Cheng Hong likes!

In the end, after thinking for a long time, the task of sending things was handed over to Fang Jun and Hou Jie, Niu Jianhu wanted to operate the navy, and Cheng Hong not only wanted to operate the navy, but also needed to build Seven Star City.

I also have to talk to the families about maritime trade, and the navy's anti-smuggling is also on the agenda! Once shipping is opened, the tax revenue of this seaport will also have to keep up.

Let the families know that although they make money by shipping, they still have to pay taxes, such as spices, which are simply picked up for nothing!

If heavy taxes are not levied, the price of spices will be reduced, and there is grain, if it continues like this, the price of grain can be smashed to ten cents a bucket!

If that is the case, there is no doubt that this protective price purchase will become a joke, and Cheng Hong controls the price of grain by regulating the tax on grain.

If there is a shortage of grain, reduce taxes or tax exemptions, or even subsidies, to raise grain, and if there is more grain, taxes will be raised, so that the fleet transporting grain will not be profitable, and there will be fewer natural grain transporters!

The main thing is this spice, which must be heavily taxed! There are many spices, but there is still a long way to go before they become popular.

Most of the people who consume spices are people who eat meat, and if this group of people sells spices cheaply, they don't have to.

In the end, it was decided that Fang Yiai and Hou Jie would enter Chang'an to dedicate the ship and sell the spices, and Cheng Hong led the rest of the people to start building Yuhang.

As for those families who want to ship by sea, let's wait and talk about it, and when the spices of Fang Yiai arrive in Chang'an, the wood will be sent out, and then they will come back, this is the moment when the Chen-class battleships can be sold at a good price!

Cheng Hong has already calculated, now the Chen-class battleships are no longer in production, and they are fully producing Yin-class and Mao-class warships, and in the future, the Chen-class battleships will develop into transportation and fishing ships based on cargo capacity.

The Yin-class and Mao-class are the main forces of the navy, and the Chen-class battleships are a lot worse in terms of load and full load, and there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people at every turn in the war, and a Chen-class battleship can't even make a splash!

If there are too many ships and it is difficult to hide, and in the battle between Cheng Hong and the Gu family, Niu Jianhu drove the Mao-class battleship with an invincible posture, and the blood of the people watching it was boiling!

What's more, there is now an element popular in Datang ~ big! Big is good, big is justice!

Of course, before the emergence of aircraft carriers and submarines in later generations, strong ships and large ships have indeed always been the mainstream. As for when will the eliminated Chen-class battleships be sold? Then it depends on Cheng Hong's mood!

Because since this group of people saw the rice in Champa, they were all red-eyed! Boats, don't worry about selling!
