"With the strong support of His Royal Highness, Jiaolong Hainan Airlines is expected to arrive at Port Arthur in half a month with two huge ships with storage of up to 40,000 stones purchased from Quanzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Xie Yue wrote lightly, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake to stir up a monstrous wave, and the officials of the Pyongyang Metropolitan Protectorate who came with Li Yu were surprised and discussed.

"So-and-so's mother! 40,000 stone ......"

"How manpower can build such a huge ship......"

Forty thousand stones! Not only were the ministers who had never heard of it amazed, but even as a traverser, Li Yu, who had seen a displacement of hundreds of thousands of tons through newspapers, media, film and television in his previous life, was also pleasantly surprised.

This is the Tang Dynasty in 671 AD, a 2,000-ton sea giant ship can be built from wood, more than 700 years away from the 2,500-ton Zheng He treasure ship, and more than 900 years away from the Western Age of Discovery, which fluttered in the oceans with thousands of tons of sail giant ships.

Li Yu couldn't help but think, if Jiaolong Haihang had hundreds of 40,000 stone giant ships, wouldn't it be easy to emigrate from the Central Plains?

A 40,000-stone giant ship can transport 1,000 people at a time, 100,000 immigrants can be carried by 100,000 ships at a time, and millions of immigrants can be emigrated in ten trips.

This is only calculated according to the actual number of people on Zheng He's treasure ship, in fact, Zheng He's treasure ship is loaded with too much cargo to limit the number of people that can be carried.

At present, the 20-zhang long cangbo in the shipbuilding type of the Datang can carry six or seven hundred people, and all the positions of the 40,000-stone giant ship are used to load people, and I am afraid that it can carry 2,000 people at a time.

After calculating in his heart, Li Yu was frightened by his own thoughts, and couldn't help but feel distressed, how could he have a hundred forty-thousand-stone giant ships.

Under the leadership of Xie Yue and other Jiaolong Hainan Airlines management, Li Yu and his entourage, who were amazed, boarded the 20,000-stone giant ship moored in the port. Although I can't see the 40,000-stone giant ships still on the way to Andong with my own eyes, the five 20,000-stone ships on board are shocking enough.

The wide deck made Zhang Shi shout: "You can ride a horse and gallop across the ship." ”

"I'm waiting for the northerners to open their eyes today!"

The official of the Metropolitan Protection Mansion couldn't help but sigh when he touched the side of the ship, and Yuan Zuo, the deputy director of Jiaolong HNA on the side, laughed when he heard this: "Haha! I don't know how many people in Dengzhou City ran to the port a few months ago to pick up the immigrants when our Jiaolong Maritime Airlines dispatched these five giant ships to the west of Dengzhou Port to pick up immigrants. ”

Li Yu, who had visited the 20,000 stone sea ships under his feet, stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the more than 100 ships parked in the entire East Port. In just three or two years, relying on a lot of money in his hands, Li Yu simply smashed out the grand scene of Jiaolong HNA in front of him.

At this time, Li Yu can say to the people of the world without exaggeration: "Today, in addition to the Tang Dynasty, the person who has the most ships in the world is Li Yu, the king of Yan. ”

Thinking of the imperial court, Li Yu's mind became active again.

In the decades since Emperor Taizong launched the War to destroy Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty built thousands of ships that could carry six to eight hundred people each, in order to destroy Goguryeo and Baekje. After the destruction of Goguryeo three years earlier, these ships completed their mission, and most of them docked in the ports where the naval divisions stationed on the southeast coast of the Tang Dynasty were nowhere to be used.

After returning to Beijing this year, it is not as good as asking my father to ask for these sea ships parked in the port and letting them rot, so as to increase the strength of Jiaolong Sea Navigation, and also save a lot of money on shipbuilding and buying ships.

Most of these ships have a service life of no more than ten years, and only more than three years are useless, and they can sail to sea with a little refurbishment. The most important thing is that more than half of it is actually an extremely sturdy warship with excellent sailing performance, which is exactly what Li Yu lacks at the moment.

To put it mildly, none of the more than 100 ships owned by Jiaolong HNA were used for naval warfare, otherwise there would not have been a grain convoy led by Zhang Qin who was completely annihilated on the Yellow Sea by the Silla sailors.

At most, Jiaolong currently has less than 10 armed merchant ships built by the Liaodong shipyard for overseas exploration.

If the hundreds of warships of the imperial court parked in the harbor were brought in, the fleet under Li Yu's command could run rampant in the ocean without any scruples, and sweep through the overseas countries with very few casualties.

Li Yu leaned on the side of the ship, leisurely blowing the warm sea breeze, and asked Xie Yue who was waiting beside him: "Yue Xun, how many ships does Jiaolong HNA currently have?" How many sailors are there? ”

Jiaolong Hainan Airlines is definitely the industry that has invested the most cash in the past two years, especially the huge investment that Xianheng has made in the past two years in order to meet the needs of immigrants, sending people south to Jiangdong, and sparing no expense to buy large sea ships to recruit sailors. As a result, Jiaolong HNA adds several ships every month, dozens or even hundreds of newly recruited sailors.

A cordial name of Yue Xun made Xie Yue flattered, and he replied excitedly in his heart: "Back to Your Highness, Jiaolong Hainan Airlines currently has 145 sea vessels of all sizes, 220 inland river vessels such as cangchuan, and 8,950 sailors. ”

"How many of them have not been at sea in Hong Kong to carry out transportation tasks?"

"There are thirty-five ships in total, of which ten ships are sent to Ryukyu by the fate of His Highness, five are stationed in Xingzhou, ten are still transporting immigrants between Duli Town and Dengzhou, and ten ships have not yet returned to Jiangdong to buy grain."

"How many people can be transported at one time when all the ships anchored in the harbor are dispatched?"

Xie Yue thought for a moment and said: "Based on the ships moored in the port, more than 30,000 people can be transported at one time, and more than 17,000 people can be transported for the sake of safety at sea." ”

"More than 30,000 is not a lot...... Li Yu pondered, among the immigrants arranged at the end of this year and early next year, the families of the Xuanwu Guard and the Chaos Guard are expected to have more than 30,000, and they can all be transported away at one time. Considering maritime safety, at most I will make another trip. Even if a part of the ships had to be allocated for maritime trade, grain, and troop transportation, it would not take two more trips.

Not to mention that after returning to Beijing this year, hundreds of ships that may be begged from my father and emperor will be charged into Jiaolong SEA. In this way, Jiaolong HNA's capacity from now to next year is enough to meet the needs of its own plan, so there is no need to spend huge sums of money to buy ships in Jiangdong states.

After visiting Jiaolong HNAU, the sun reached the West Mountain.

Li Yu dragged his tired figure back to the palace in Duli Town with a group of officials of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

Xie Yue returned home, sat in the study and pondered silently, but his daughter came to call him to eat and didn't hear it.

"Mother, dad doesn't care about me." The eight-year-old girl wrinkled her nose and complained to her mother.

"Good, your dad is thinking about big things, let's wait for your dad to finish thinking about it before eating, okay?" Wang glanced at the solemn husband in the study, and took the little girl's hand and comforted him.

"Hmm!" The little girl nodded affirmatively and followed her mother out of her father's study.

"Maybe this is my chance for the Chen Jun Xie clan to rise again!"

Xie Yue's solemn expression suddenly became happy, and his clenched fist slammed on the desk in front of him.

Thinking back then, what a beautiful scenery the Xie family of Wuchen County was, and King Langya was the first of the world's wealthy families, and held the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Even after the death of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Xie clan of Chenjun was repeatedly attacked by Emperor Liu Song, but the status and wealth of the family still did not fall behind in the world.

But a rebellion caused the Chen Jun Xie family, which had begun to weaken, to fall from the altar along with several other wealthy families in Jiangdong.

Xie Yue couldn't help laughing at himself for the beauty of his ancestors, but his own generation was reduced to being in the company of merchants, berthing ships and selling goods all year round to make a living.

By chance, he invested in Yanwangfu a few years ago, and became the director of Jiaolong HNA with his maritime business skills.

In recent years, as a member of the Yan Wangfu industry, Xie Yue has become more and more suspicious of Yan Wang's great future, perhaps this is an opportunity for him to revitalize the Chen Jun Xie family.
