Chen Kaizhi looked at Jiang Hai and smiled: "Do you think I can't defeat the Yang family?" ”

Jiang Hai was silent for a long time.

He obviously didn't dare to tell lies, but he was afraid that his truth would provoke Chen Kaizhi's Long Yan to be angry, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty can defeat the Yang family a hundred times on land, but the Yang family can still withdraw." ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "Then, let's wait and see." ”

Immediately, he glanced at Qianhu: "This Mr. Jiang is so protective, what else does he know, let him make a record, I have to read it carefully when I arrive." ”

Then, Chen Kaizhicai looked at Fang Wucai: "Uncle Shi, if we cut off the line of Jianghai, we will cut off their channel for purchasing goods on land, and then it will be up to Uncle Shi." ”

Fang Wucai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's a trivial matter, but it's ...... If you go to sea, the old man will have to work the boat, and Your Majesty should also set up the queen, and it is time to set up the imperial concubine. ”

Chen Kaizhi now has a good impression of the other party's uncle, but the only thing that is unpleasant is that when he is talking about feelings, he has to jump out a few words of naked interests.

Chen Kaizhi said embarrassedly: "Uncle Shi's heart is yes, but there is one thing, I don't know how Uncle Shi plans to contact them?" ”

"Easy." Fang Wucai seemed to have a plan for a long time, and said casually: "As long as the Northern Yan Emperor arrives in Jibei, the old man will appear." ”

Chen Kaizhi suddenly realized.

Fang Wucai is now in the eyes of the world, and he has escaped, which shows that he is afraid that Chen Kaizhi will deal with him.

But how to show up? If the Son of Heaven of Beiyan came to Jibei, and Fang Wu suddenly appeared at this time, then ...... Everything can be explained. Although the Great Chen Imperial Court did not designate Fang Wu as a prisoner, it was obvious that Fang Wu could not show up rashly, which was too weird; But if the Emperor of Northern Yan came, Fang Wu appeared, everything would be natural, Emperor Beiyan and Fang Wu had a good personal relationship, as soon as the Northern Yan people arrived, even if Fang Wu appeared, Da Chen couldn't do anything with him.

It is even a good opportunity to let people overseas see the influence of Fang Wucai.

As for the Great Chen Imperial Court, although in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Kaizhi regarded him as the remnant of the Empress Dowager, but after all, this person was protected by the Beiyan people, and Chen Kaizhi couldn't do anything with him.

Fang Wucai, who appeared at this time, was more like a demonstration to the Dachen court.

It's just that......

Chen Kaizhi looked worried, and said with concern in his eyes: "Uncle Shi should be careful, don't talk too much." ”

Fang Wucai pursed his lips indifferently, and said lightly: "It's just a Yang family, that Yang Zheng, the old man has also heard of it, he also has a father, named Yang Wen, who has been dead for nine years, when his father was the head of the Yang family in Guanzhong, the old man also talked and laughed with him." ”

It's this set again......

Chen Kaizhi actually couldn't tell whether Uncle Wu was bragging or really had such a past, and he didn't bother to ask, just said seriously: "Uncle can be careful." ”

Early the next morning, Chen Kaizhi's holy car arrived at the seaport in the eastern suburbs of Jibei.

It seemed to be very busy here, and the morning mist was hazy, so that Chen Kaizhi only heard the sound of the blue waves, and in the distance, it was only a blur.

He was accompanied by Yang Biao and Deng Jian.

At this time, Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty, the sea breeze is strong here, Your Majesty should go back." ”

Chen Kaizhi looked back, glanced at Yang Biao, who was blown by the sea breeze and had a long beard under his chin, and then smiled: "Look, Mr. Yang, this vast sea is a moat for us, and for the people, it can neither be cultivated nor grow food, it is really useless; But...... For the Yang family, here...... But they can give birth to countless wealth, which is the foundation of everything they stand on in the world, and they all say that they have their own golden house in the book, Yan Ruyu in the book, and thousands of Zhongsu in the book; But in the eyes of the Yang family, it is its own golden house in the sea. They tossed for two hundred years, these two hundred years, all of them are influencing Da Chen, affecting the world, and we stand on the land, but we are still muddy, thinking that they occupy fertile land, is the central country, but they don't know, this hidden danger in the blue ocean, yesterday, Jin Yiwei detailed Jiang Hai's transcript sent to my desk overnight, which contains information about the ships of the Yang family, their ships, all of which are improved with Franc aircraft ships, with artillery on the hull, moving extremely fast, battleships like flying, and merchant ships carrying great loads, I plan to wipe out these Yang pirates and kill them, not just to relieve hatred, but because this ocean is not owned by the Yang family, but by my Da Chen, and the huge profits they make should benefit the people of the world, not a handful of thieves, and the Yang family has a surname, I want to go out, Da Chen must also go out, otherwise I will always be trapped here, how can I be willing? ”

Chen Kaizhi's words did make sense, but Yang Biao was worried, and said: "They have a huge number of ships, many of them are sailors and water thieves who are good at water warfare, in this blue ocean, without a trace, if I Da Chen really want to manage this ocean, Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence that should not be said, I Da Chen wants to build a ship, it is really difficult, the money and food, the manpower required, but even if you build a giant ship that can go to sea, it is only a hundred, if you want to compete with the Yang family for the sea, it will take ten or twenty years, Thirty or even fifty years of continuous investment may not be able to cope with its edge. What's more, such a huge expense...... The ministers are afraid that the court will not be able to make ends meet, and His Majesty is now going to reform the new army, which is an innumerable amount of silver, is it possible that this Da Chen, other things, will not be taken care of? ”

Obviously, he is an old man seeking the country, and he is not wrong, Dachen is not an independent island, and even there are enemies on all sides, although there are tens of millions of military and civilian people, it seems to be powerful, but in fact, this is also a burden, because it is impossible for the imperial court to give up other functions in order to build ships.

In this regard, the Yang family has the advantage, they themselves have no burden, they do not need disaster relief, they do not need to build military horses on land, and they do not need to defend cities everywhere, not only do they not have these burdens, but they can rely on the huge profits of the sea monopoly trade, they can recruit countless outlaws, and they can create a powerful fleet and run rampant in the world.

At this time, Chen Kaizhi's eyes opened slightly, revealing a smile with deep meaning, and said: "So, we must find another way, in fact, over the years, there have been countless craftsmen in Jibei, a large number of machinery has also come into being, the latest steel appeared, in a sense, also changed the development of production tools, isn't it?" I have heard that many workshops now have special mechanics, but I have also heard that in many yarn mills, water-powered machinery has begun to be used, mills have begun to use wind power on a large scale, and some workshops are even trying to make steam engines according to some of the principles I proposed. ”

Yang Biao nodded and said, "The minister has also heard a little about this. ”

In fact, the development of tools in Jibei is indeed extremely fast, which is inseparable from Chen Kaizhi's encouragement, and in a sense, it is also inseparable from the special situation of Jibei.

Merchants from all over the world gathered, countless visits sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and as soon as the trade opened, it meant that the goods in the workshop, but whenever an item sold well, it had to expand production frantically, and the merchants had to recruit craftsmen to produce.

However, at this time, many businessmen found that the expansion of production was still too slow, especially in some popular industries, where goods were in short supply, and the expansion of scale required more craftsmen, and the price of manpower also rose.

In the past, manpower was the least valuable, because it was not valuable, so how much to recruit as much as you wanted, but with the employment needs of many public workshops, this made manpower begin to be in short supply, even if it was pulled from other places, it was temporarily incompetent for the work of the workshop, which needed to be cultivated for a period of time, and on the other hand, the goods were in short supply, in this case, many workshop owners had to try their best to replace manpower with all means.

At the beginning, in fact, it was just some simple machinery, and to create these things, in fact, it is not difficult, even ancient, such as water power, such as wind power, whether it is the large-scale use of water power and wind power, its essence, is also a kind of machinery, the waterwheel is driven by water, but to make the force it produces in production, it must be transformed, so simple bearings appeared, impellers also appeared, many things, again and again to improve.

OBVIOUSLY, THIS HAS MADE MANY PEOPLE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY, SOME SPECIALIZED MACHINE WORKSHOPS HAVE BEGUN TO APPEAR, AND A LARGE NUMBER OF ADVANCED CRAFTSMEN HAVE BEGUN TO WORK HARD TO MAKE THINGS MOVE, AND REPLACE HUMAN LABOR WITH STRANGE AND INGENIOUS THINGS.

At the same time, people found that on the Flying Fish Peak, there were many books in the library, which made some people suddenly open up.

Originally, those books were not cared for, and even in addition to the library lying honestly in Feiyu Peak, many people couldn't read them, even if they could barely understand some of them, they didn't understand them, let alone use them, but now, they ...... When someone discovered its wonderful use, gradually, many people began to be interested, and some booksellers even began to print these books, and in Jibei, the sales were not bad.

With the help of the principles and inspiration in the book, as well as the craftsmen's thinking in production, under the combination of the two, more machinery began to appear, and the merchants also found that the wonderful use of the new machinery can be called infinite, it can not only make the original goods more time-saving and labor-saving, can reduce labor, and greatly improve the efficiency of production, the production volume has risen sharply, and what is more terrible is that the quality of the original goods, more dependent on the skills of the craftsman, and the skills are always uneven, but the machinery makes up for the lack of the craftsman's ability, so that Many apprentices can also be put into production.
