The sea is very windy and the sea is choppy!

Zhao Chen and Yu Yunwen got off their horses and watched the sea scenery in front of them.

"The east is adjacent to the Jieshi to watch the sea! The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging! The trees are thick, and the grass is abundant! At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan, came to the shore of Canghai, and wrote this poem to watch Canghai! Since ancient times, I don't know how many emperors and generals have come here, and Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng has also come here! The waves splashed on Zhao Chen's body, his clothes were slightly wet, and Zhao Chen laughed.

"Qin Shi Huang came here to live forever, to send those monks to the sea! Your Majesty and I are here today for the sake of the future of my Great Song Dynasty! Yu Yunwen said with a smile.

"Yes, you and I are here for my Great Song future! If I want to be based on Yanyun, shipping is indispensable! In the future, the development of the country, marine trade is also extremely important, and the establishment of Tianjin Wei is an imminent matter! Zhao Chen said.

The two of them were talking when there was a sound of horses' hooves behind them.

Zhao Chen and Yu Yunwen turned around and saw hundreds of people riding horses in the distance.

Those people were all wearing the uniforms of the Song army, and after coming here, they were stopped by the soldiers of the imperial camp, and then several generals came from the soldiers of the imperial camp and came to Zhao Chen and Yu Yunwen.

"Your Majesty!" The leader was in his thirties and looked elegant, and he gave a military salute at this moment, with a smile on his face.

"Wu Jue, you came so fast!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

They didn't inform Wu Jie before they came, and they didn't expect that Wu Jue had already gotten the news just now and rushed here.

"Your Majesty has just entered our navy's defense area, and someone has already informed the last admiral, and the last general has hurried here." Wu Jue said.

"How is the construction of the military port now?" Zhao Chen said.

"Two military ports have been built that can berth more than 400 ships, but there are still some other ports that need to be built! Now that the ice floes on the sea have been removed, merchants from Jiangnan may come to the north by sea, and they will also anchor here. Wu Jue said.

Zhao Chen and Yu Yunwen nodded.

In the past, it belonged to the border area between the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty were enemy countries, although there were commercial contacts, but they were rarely transported by sea! It was desolate and there was nothing! Moreover, as the border between the two countries, there are still a lot of soldiers, and ordinary people dare not come here at all! Now this is the complete Great Song Territory, and it is not until now that an acropolis has been erected here! The reason why it is called the Acropolis is because it is mainly for the defense of Yanjing, at least for now, it was set up because of Wu Jue's army!

The crowd rode towards the south, the weather was very warm today, and after walking more than ten miles, they finally saw the military port under construction.

These military ports are all made of stone, and huge stones are brought here. Most of the people who worked here were some Jurchen captives, and there were also some Han craftsmen here.

On the dock are rows of barracks, and there are many soldiers in and out of them!

There are also quite a few warships anchored in the harbor.

Winter has passed, the ice in the Bohai Sea has long been lifted, and now there are warships out to sea.

"In the future, this place will definitely be prosperous!" Looking at everything in front of him, Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! It extends in all directions, from Jiangnan to Yanjing, and it will pass through here in the future! Moreover, the Yellow River is just to the south, from Kaifeng Mansion to the Daimyo Mansion, from the Daimyo Mansion you can directly come to Tianjin Wei, where you can connect the former Tokyo and Beijing! Also, it's easy to get to Goryeo and Dongyeong from here! Now this is just an acropolis, and in the future, I am afraid that it will only be the most prosperous place around the Jingshi. Yu Yunwen nodded.

Historically, the Yellow River was diverted because of the Jurchen invasion, and the Southern Song Dynasty generals dug up the Yellow River, but that happened after Zong Ze's death! It's a pity that in this era, no one dug the Yellow River at all, so until now, the Yellow River is still along the passage of the Northern Song Dynasty, so the geographical location of Tianjin is more important than that of later generations! Tianjin can now be directly connected to the Daimyo Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion through the Yellow River! The Daimyo Mansion is the center of Hebei and Shandong, and Kaifeng is the center of the Central Plains! As long as the country pays attention to business, then prosperity here is inevitable.

With smooth sea and river transportation, it will become the most important city on the northern coast.

"Has Wu Lan arrived?" Zhao Chen said while watching the construction situation here.

"Your Majesty, he has arrived in Dengzhou! He will build a naval port there! Wu Jue said.

Wu Lan was originally in Jiangnan to clean up the two Huai bandits, but in the second half of last year, all the bandits had been cleaned up! After that, Zhao Zhe led the 150,000 Jingyuan army to the south and entered the Henan and Lianghuai regions, while Wu Ling went north and established a naval base in the Dengzhou area! Dengzhou in the Song Dynasty was probably the location of Qingdao in later generations, and its status in the Song Dynasty was originally very important, and the trade exchanges between Goryeo and Dongying often passed through Dengzhou! Dengzhou and Quanzhou, these are the two most important marine trade cities in the Great Song Dynasty!

Now there are 100,000 people in the navy, Wu Yu led 50,000 people to establish Tianjin Wei in Tianjin, and Wu Ling led the remaining 50,000 people to sit in Dengzhou.

"You were originally in Sichuan and Shu, where it was rich and warm, but now you have come to the north, the environment is harsh, and the soldiers have suffered." Zhao Chen walked forward and said.

In fact, the soldiers are not afraid of suffering, and the soldiers are very excited in their hearts! We used to be just a Yangtze River sailor, and we only fought on the Yangtze River, but now we can go to sea to fight! It's exciting to think about! Wu Jue smiled.

"Now it's just an offshore operation, and in the future it is possible to go to the far sea! We Han people have been crisscrossing the land for thousands of years, and now it is time to completely enter the sea! It can be said that a new era has arrived, and this era is called the Age of Discovery! Zhao Chen looked at the sea in the distance and said with some emotion.

Originally, the Age of Discovery in history was 200 years later than now, and it was initiated by the Europeans! And now, it will be the Chinese who will launch the Age of Discovery!

The Age of Discovery, also known as the Age of Discovery, was the time when Europeans discovered many unknown countries and regions, colonialism and free trade also appeared with the Age of Discovery, and many new inventions and new ideas also appeared after the Age of Discovery! Now Zhao Chen has decided to start all this, and the Han people will start all this!

"The Age of Discovery? Your Majesty, what can be in the ocean? What else is there besides a few small islands? Wu Jue said.

"Don't you want to know where the end of the ocean is? If you go all the way east, where will you go? Will there be no end forever? Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"This ......" Wu Jue was stunned.

"There is endless wealth in the ocean, and there is endless territory ahead! I hope that wherever the sun can shine, there will be the flag of my Great Song flying! In the future, when the war is settled, you can go and look around! Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen remembered the famous "empire on which the sun never sets" in later generations, and Zhao Chen hoped that he could achieve all this in his own hands.

"Good!" Wu Jue was obviously interested in these as well, and nodded immediately.

"We Han people must have the spirit of adventure, dare to explore the unknown, and don't stay in our hometown all the time! There are many beautiful places and beautiful things in the distance, and whoever can find them will be rewarded by the imperial court! Later, the court will introduce the law! In addition, if someone discovers the New World and discovers something new, the imperial court will publish his name and merits and publish them to all parties! Zhao Chen said.

Wu Jue and Yu Yunwen were a little surprised, and they thought that if this was the case, they were afraid that many people would have to venture out to sea, or go north and west to explore the unknown realm.

After inspecting several ports, they headed west, which had been built into a five-mile street lined with many houses.

"Your Majesty, these are warehouses! The merchants of Jiangnan are coming to the north, and if they want to stock up on goods, they can put them here! A few days ago, a businessman from Jiangnan approached us to discuss the rental price! Wu Jue said.

"Tianjin Wei's civil affairs need to find another person to deal with." Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"That's right! I'm here mainly for military training, and it's really annoying to worry about these things. Wu Jue smiled.

"By the way, has the shipyard moved over?" Zhao Chen said.

"Only some craftsmen from the shipyard have come here now, and some people are in Yuzhou, and they haven't come here yet! The imperial court is still doing the work of mobilization! We have prepared the site and tools for the shipyard, just waiting for someone to come! Wu Jue said.

"The conditions of Tianjin Wei are difficult, naturally not as good as Yuzhou, for those craftsmen who come, the annual salary will naturally increase! In addition, we can also spend a lot of money to recruit craftsmen from the Quanzhou area! When we were in Yuzhou, we made all the water boats in the Yangtze River, but now we are making some real sea boats. Zhao Chen said.

"Okay, the Admiral remembers!" Wu Jue said.

"Yunwen, you write to Li Gang and Li Guang, both of them are in the south, and this matter will be left to them." Zhao Chen said.

Yu Yunwen nodded.

"If you want to dominate the seas, sea ships are fundamental! We should not only recruit those excellent shipbuilders, but also encourage them to improve their shipbuilding skills! If anyone can improve the shipbuilding process, they should be rewarded! There must be such a reward system in the shipyard! Zhao Chen said.

Technology is the primary productive force, for this sentence, Zhao Chen is very recognized! He has always attached great importance to technicians.

"Your Majesty, when we were at sea, we once said that we could attack the Jurchens from the sea, but now I don't know if the time has come?" Wu Jue said.
