In December of the first year of Xianqing, Chen Fei took a small treasure ship from Jiangcheng and arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River in half a month, which was later called the "magic capital" of Shanghai.

However, at this moment, Shanghai is called "Huating County" or "Hu" (Tonghu), which is a small county town along the river and the sea, or ...... It would be more appropriate to be a larger fishing village. There is still a big gap between China and the most economically developed city in the future.

Today, however, the arrival of the ocean-going fleet has undoubtedly injected a lot of life into the region.

The fleet will stay here for five days to prepare for its departure. Including the loading and counting of grain, grass, gunpowder, weapons and other materials.

The small county town, which originally had a population of only 80,000, became much more lively because of the arrival of the army.

Well, it is worth mentioning that although the place is small, Chen Fei is very far-sighted, and opened Chen Ji's shop in Huating County early, so he made a lot of money when the army gathered to replenish supplies.

Even the economy of Huating County was driven by the army that followed, and in just five days, the price of grain in Huating County almost doubled.

Some businessmen with a keen sense of smell had already sensed something and set their sights on the Chen Kee shop.

Because everyone knows that the boss behind Chen Ji's shop is Chen Fei, and Chen Fei is now the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, so the movement of the shop often represents the movement of the imperial court.

For example, some time ago, Chen Ji, who almost did not buy and sell grain and grass, actually prepared grain and grass and a large number of living materials for the first time, and people thought they were crazy at that time, but they did not expect that after just over a month, tens of thousands of troops came here to prepare grain and grass. Although most of the army's grain and grass were supplied by the imperial court, in order to avoid accidents, it was normal to bring some of your own before setting out for the battle.

You know, 30,000 people are not a small amount! Even if it was to prepare five more days of grain and grass, it would not be eaten by any of the existing grain merchants in Huating County. You can imagine how much money Chen Ji has made in the past few days.

And looking at Chen Ji's actions, it seems that they are still preparing goods, that is, there may be business opportunities in the future, which makes some businessmen move......

With the expansion of sea routes, the development of globalization, and Chen Fei's intentional or unintentional promotion, Huating County will definitely become an international port city in the future, and I believe that it will be able to reproduce the style of Shanghai in the future.

But now...... It seems a little early. Those merchants who follow the trend and buy and sell goods are afraid that they will cry until they vomit blood.

Because Chen Fei asked the following people to buy the specialties of the Tang Dynasty this time (this Chen Ji is directly operated) to buy the specialties of the Tang Dynasty, such as silk, brocade, porcelain and other goods that can be stored for a long time and will not depreciate. And those merchants and merchants go to collect grain and grass......

Five days later, Chen Fei boarded the treasure ship. There are three large treasure ships, named "Chang'an", "Jiangnan", and "Chengfeng". Among them, the Chang'an is a handsome ship, Chen Fei is in charge, and the other two are generals, which are commanded by Xue Rengui and Cheng Chumo.

The three little guys who followed were obviously very excited to board such a large ship for the first time, especially after the fleet entered the sea, standing on the lookout platform of the Chang'an, there were all Datang's fleets on the front and back, and more than 200 large ships were lined up on the sea, which was very spectacular.

A few of the little ones shouted, obviously shocked by such a scene. Even Chen Fei was slightly distracted when he saw this scene, and even had a feeling of tears in his eyes!

How many years? How many times has this scene appeared in my dreams? It's finally happening today! He has paid too much for the glory of Datang, from carefully stepping into the court fourteen years ago, to now the flagship is in the sky, he always thinks about how to make Datang stronger, and stronger!

As a result, gunpowder was born, the capital economy market sprouted, high-yield crops were popularized, and now the Datang fleet has also successfully sailed to the sea, and there will be research and development of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the future......

Everything was moving towards what he had envisioned.

Although the process is not fast, there is nothing more exciting than achieving your dreams little by little.

If this expedition goes well, it means that Datang has officially started globalization! With the Silk Road in the west and the Great Voyage in the east, what else in the world can stop the pace of Datang's progress?

"Yu'er, Wen'er, Wu'er, have you seen it? This is my Datang fleet, the most advanced and largest fleet in the world! This is the fleet designed and built by your Lao Tzu! Remember, in the future, you will surpass your Lao Tzu and build a larger and more advanced fleet! Don't embarrass you, you know? ”

Yu'er glanced at Chen Fei unconvinced, and muttered, "Hmph! I will surpass my father in the future and build a fleet that is three times or five times bigger than this one! ”

"Haha! Balls! I hope you don't say it on the spur of the moment, a manly man has to do it if he can say it, otherwise he will be a big talker! Be looked down upon by others! ”

Yu'er suddenly became anxious, stretched out her hand and made a swearing gesture: "Of course it can be done!" I, Chen Yu, hereby swear that in the future, I will surpass my father, lead the fleet to sail away, and conquer the world! ”

"Hahaha!" Chen Fei smiled and touched Yu'er's head, no matter whether it can be realized in the future or not, it is worthy of praise to have this ambition, the male of the Chen family, should have this domineering! ”

And Wen'er seemed much calmer, he stared at the fleet for a long time, and suddenly asked Chen Fei coldly: "Daddy, what do you say...... Will one day boats be able to move forward without manual paddles? “

"Oh?" Chen Fei couldn't help but glance at Wen'er more, and secretly said that this kid is really talented and can inherit many things from him. While amazed in his heart, he was calm on the surface.

"Wen'er, what do you have ideas to talk about?"

"Daddy, I remember last time you taught us how to make 'Divine Fire Flying Crow' and 'Fire Dragon Out of Water'. The child remembers that only about three kilograms of gunpowder are needed to drive more than ten kilograms of things to fly a distance in the sky. What if you use this on a ship? Is it possible to use gunpowder to propel a ship on the sea? ”

Chen Fei laughed when he heard this: "Wen'er, your idea is very good, but have you thought about it, the 'Divine Fire Flying Crow' and the 'Fire Dragon Out of the Water' only flew a few hundred meters before running out of fuel and stopped, such a huge ship has to sail thousands of kilometers, how much gunpowder does it need to equip?" ”

"This ......" Wen'er scratched her head and blushed, "The child hasn't counted it yet, but I think it should exceed the weight of the ship." ”

"Yes, but you're on the right track." Chen Fei is good at persuasion, his talent for understanding science is limited, but Wen'er is very talented in this area, and he will definitely surpass himself in the future if he cultivates well! "Although, gunpowder is not feasible, but will there be something else that can replace it?"

Wen'er fell into deep thought.

Chen Fei smiled slightly and said, "Although my father hasn't found it yet, I have found something interesting, come, my father will show you a magical thing." ”()
