Wang Lang asked, "How is the construction of the seaport and shipyard?" ”

Mu Feng replied: "The port has been built, the shipyard has been put into use, and now we have tried to build the ship according to the drawings. It is estimated that in half a year, the first ship will be launched, and the minister came back this time to ask His Majesty to build a new city in the harbor, and the minister saw that there were a large number of fish in the ocean, and if we built a city there, we could get more food by going out to sea to fish, I wonder if Your Majesty can agree to this request,"

"Yes, that's a good thing, when enough people are captured in the north, I'll prioritize those people on the harbor side." Wang Lang said with a smile.

When Mu Feng heard this, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Wang Lang nodded and said: "This first ship is used for testing, this fresh wood is not suitable for shipbuilding, if there is no problem with this ship after the test, you can send someone back to transport the wood that has been dry for several years to the harbor, after the ship is built, you don't need to stay there, just leave it to your subordinates, so that you can also come back and reunite with your family." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but the minister has another request." Wu Feng said respectfully.

"Oh, tell me what you're asking for." Wang Lang was a little interested in looking at Rufeng.

"Your Majesty, if the ship is built successfully, I want to follow the ship out to sea to have a look, after staying at the beach for so long, I have always wanted to know what is the situation on the sea, every time I stand on the seashore, I feel that I am incomparably small, I want to go outside to see how vast the world is." When Mu Feng said this, his eyes were full of yearning.

Wang Lang pondered for a while, looked at Mu Feng and said slowly: "The sea is extremely dangerous, the stranded ship on the beach is the best example, the navigation skills of the dinosaur people are much more mature than ours, even if this is the case, they will be shipwrecked, with our current navigation ability, it is not enough to carry out ocean voyages, not to mention that your current duty does not allow you to do such a dangerous thing, the matter of exploring the world will be left to others to do, and in the future, our navigation ability is safe enough, It's not too late for you to think about this matter, I actually want to see what the overseas world is like, but you must know that now for Xia Guo, the most important thing is to develop the overall strength of Xia Guo, if those dinosaur people are full of malice towards me, then it will be very dangerous for me not to fall, if we lose, the entire human race will perish, and we are not allowed to slack off. ”

Mu Feng sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister understands, I will do my best to lead the Ministry of Industry to develop weapons, and kill all enemies in the future." ”

After the two continued to chat for a while, Wang Lang looked at the sky and said, "It's not too early, I won't keep you longer, you can get together with your family when you come back this time." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister has taken his leave." Mu Feng bowed and retreated.

After Mu Feng left Wang Lang's place, he planned to go to the trading post to buy some wine and meat, but before he could enter the trading post, he was attracted by the glittering things placed on the shelves outside the door.

Calling the salesman, Mu Feng asked, "What is this?" ”

Most of the people in Yancheng still know most of the big people in the Xia Kingdom, especially the state-run shops such as the trading station, this guy recognized Mu Feng at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce: "Mu Shangshu, this thing is called a hairpin, it is said to have been invented by His Majesty, it is very beautiful." ”

"Oh, this thing has and uses."

"Mu Shangshu, you have been out of town all this time, it's normal not to know this, haven't you noticed that the women in Yancheng are different from before?" The salesman mysteriously pointed to the pedestrians coming and going on the street.

Mu Feng looked at his fingers suspiciously, and sure enough, he saw that the woman in Yancheng had some changes, not only was she much cleaner than before he left, but the biggest change was the hairstyle, almost every woman had one or two yellow hairpins on the top of her head, and then he also recalled that when he returned home, it seemed that his wife was also wearing a thing on her head.

"Is this hairpin used by women to put in their hair as decoration?" Mu Feng asked.

The salesman nodded and said: "As Mu Shangshu said, this hairpin was originally an ornament created by His Majesty for the queen, and the women in Yancheng were even more beautiful than the original after seeing the queen bring this thing, and slowly imitated it, this situation has been more than half a year, don't you say, such a woman looks more attractive than before, why don't Mu Shangshu buy one and go back to Mrs. Zun, these are all new styles, presumably Mrs. Zun must like it very much." ”

Mu Feng picked up a hairpin with a butterfly-like head, put it in his hand, and said secretly: "It's actually made of bronze." ”

Then he asked, "How much copper is this hairpin?" ”

"Mu Shangshu has a good eye, this hairpin is the most exquisite of these ornaments, and it only costs twenty copper coins." The salesman smiled.

Mu Feng was taken aback when he heard this, "Twenty copper coins, how can it be so expensive, I don't think this thing even has ten copper coins." ”

The thought that twenty copper coins was enough for a family of three to buy enough food for ten days, and that a useless ornament could be used for so much money, really frightened him.

"Mu Shangshu, you can't say that, although this hairpin is not as high as the copper content in the copper coin, but you look at the pattern on it, how beautiful it is, this is not comparable to the copper coin." The salesperson explained.

Mu Feng frowned, looked at the women who passed by from time to time, gritted his teeth, took out twenty copper coins from his waist pocket, and bought the hairpin.

The salesman took the copper coin with a smile, carefully handed the hairpin to Mu Feng, and said, "Mu Shangshu needs to see what else he needs?" ”

"You don't need anything else, bring me a jar of red flame wine and three catties of meat." Mu Feng said slowly.

"Wait a minute." After the salesman finished speaking, he quickly walked into the house, and after a while, he walked out with wine and meat.

But when Mu Feng took the piece of meat, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Why is this meat so cold." ”

"It's meat that's frozen, and it's fresh." The salesperson explained.

"Ice? What is it?" Mu Feng asked.

Thinking that Mu Feng had been gone for almost a year, the salesman reacted, hurriedly ran into the house, took out an ice cube, handed it to Mu Feng, and said, "Mu Shangshu, this is the ice cube." ”

Mu Feng looked at the cool transparent object in his hand, and was very surprised, he couldn't imagine that there was such a magical thing in this world.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"This is the ice cube made by His Majesty with nitrate, it is very magical, we originally thought it was a miracle, but then we learned that it was not a miracle, everyone knows that after knowing the way, they can make ice, and the trading post now has a huge ice cellar to preserve meat." The salesperson explained.
