What did the British do in the world during the Age of Discovery?

Very simple!

Sell some cheap industrial products to the locals, and then bring back tons of spices, raw materials, grain, gold, silver, and Europe from the whole world!

That's why the Land of Projectiles can sustain the next super war.

Because they concentrated the wealth of the whole world through the great voyages.

Spices were a gold thing in those days, and some natives did not know their value, and when the time came, they could exchange them directly from them with some cloth or even some other things.

It's a very simple thing, and as long as it's a businessman, they'll judge.

At that time, as long as the maritime merchant opens and drags a boatload of things out, once the news spreads that the spices that are worth a fortune on the ship, then the maritime merchant will not be able to stop it even if someone wants to stop it.

"Especially now that His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun has made this cotton, we can even make cotton cloth in the future, and then we can export it as a scarce commodity for large-scale sales, plus our unique silk and other porcelain vases, official kilns and other things, all of which can be used for export, and we can exchange them for more profits at that time. Even look for some relatively large islands at sea and build a sea supply station belonging to our Daying Dynasty! Li Hang said slowly.

Many of the islands actually didn't have many people in the beginning, such as Australia, for example, some small islands in the Pacific Ocean.

These small islands have enough fresh water resources, and such small islands are enough to build some bases.

It is still possible to provide daily ship repairs and berths, replenish fresh water, etc.

"Nonsense! What's so good about going to sea! Wang Lu snorted coldly.

As one of the three divisions, he is really qualified to say this!

What are the benefits of going to sea?

Li Hang thought for a moment, then tilted his head to look at them, and raised three fingers. "The first one is diplomacy, we can contact some other countries anytime and anywhere through this voyage, and show them that we are powerful, we can sail to your country, and if there is a conflict, the next time we come to the ship will bring soldiers, and bring death and killing! In countries without coastal defense, any point will be a place where we can land anytime and anywhere, and with ships, we can strike at will, moving much faster than a land march. ”

How slow is a land march?

Let's refer to the peak of the principal Jiang Guangtou's life!

During the Battle of Shanghai, troops were mobilized from Sichuan and Guangdong.

In the case of the train, it took about three or four months, and the Sichuan army took even longer.

Be aware that this is still the case with trains.

What if there is no train.

But if there is a ship, it may be a month from the sea.

This is the advantage of having a navy.

"The second point is the economic and trade advantage, our porcelain, tea, silk, cotton, handicrafts can be exported, in exchange for the goods we need, and even the seeds of some high-yield crops, not to mention enriching our own lives, the profits we make are enough to raise a huge trade fleet or even several huge trade fleets!"

A few people were speechless, they also knew this kind of thing, they didn't need to look at the sea trade, just look at the trade on land, those who were doing business, a few people didn't go out a few times, as long as they came back alive, they could earn more benefits.

"The third point is military, to form a huge and powerful navy, excellent seafarers are indispensable, the sea is not land, after going to sea is likely to lose its way, you need to find out the direction at sea, which requires excellent navigators, and proficient in astronomy and mathematics, which requires the accumulation of knowledge in related disciplines, so mathematics is also a very important link, and even the knowledge of observing the stars must be compiled into books, and then the relevant structural mechanics, ship design, etc. must be written into books! Only in this way can a complete set of supporting facilities for the Navy be formed. If you want to train the navy, you don't have to recruit some farmers to throw them on the battlefield. ”

Zhao Feilong on the side rolled his eyes. You are a farmer, your whole family is a farmer, and the border army is all professional soldiers who have undergone hard training!

However, what Li Hang said is not wrong at this point, the navy really can't be built in a day or two, according to what he said, it takes several years just to make a warship, and even a long time to prepare, such as those keels.

The keel of a warship needs wood that relieves its own stress, which was a relatively simple way to place PLAY in ancient times.

In the first few years outside, Fang eliminated his own stress.

But I have a big fork, and the length of the keel determines the size of a ship.

If it's the kind of small boat, the kind of big ship that wants to sail far, it's not a little gadget that can support it.

Those small sampans that can be made from a single tree are not a good thing, the kind of thing that can be played in the creek will capsize when you go to the Yellow River, and if you go to the sea...... Hehe!

Nowadays, the only thing that can go to sea is the largest warship.

"Why? Businessmen who seek profit and forget their righteousness will only make things more complicated! There was still some disgust between Wang Lu's eyebrows.

Looking at his appearance, Li Hang shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun will answer this question!"

Ying Yun was slightly stunned, then looked at his grandfather on the side, and immediately understood that this was Li Hang who gave himself the opportunity to perform.

One strode out. "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, if we can control it, we can use the earning power of these people, from the hands of foreigners, to concentrate the wealth little by little in the country, not to mention this navy, I can be richer in the big win dynasty!"

"Hahaha! It's a good world where the hustle and bustle is all for profit, interesting! Yuna has learned a lot here! Not bad! "Some words can't be said in front of the courtiers, but Emperor Win Wu has a scale in his heart, at least for him, people in the world only have two attributes, which can be used and cannot be used.

If you think Li Hang is something that can be used, if you think you are a barbarian on the grassland, you can basically be classified as unusable.

This time, after he heard his grandson say this, he really felt a little, this Li Xiucai is really not an ordinary person, this guy is really enough.

If the previous books and Ying Yun's exposition of those books had a great impact on Emperor Ying Wu, then now Ying Yun's words are enough to prove that this little guy has really grown up!
