The ocean is still despised in this day and age. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the role of the ocean is beginning to be felt.

The Louchuan Yamen has become an indispensable and important institution of the Han Dynasty.

In the East China Sea, in the Bohai Sea, in the Yellow Sea, in the South China Sea, in the Yuan Sea and in the Korean Strait, thousands of ships of all sizes, with their sails outstretched, cruising back and forth.

A huge fleet of Lou ships, in the coastal areas, carried South Vietnamese rice, ivory, rhino horn, camphor, and cane sugar, Qilu cloth, fine ceramics and iron tools, and Anton's cotton, whale oil, whale skin, whalebone meal, and wheat millet.

The volume of maritime trade has increased dramatically every year.

The Lou Ship Yamen reaped countless benefits in the maritime trade.

And took the opportunity to establish a fleet base with several home ports as the core.

It has a huge shipbuilding and maintenance system.

It has also continued to expand with the booming momentum of the whaling and offshore fishing industries.

Last year, the Han family caught more than 2,000 whals.

Offshore fishery resources are also being rapidly exploited.

In the Qilu area alone, there are more than 100,000 registered fishermen and more than 3,000 large and small fishing boats.

Although most of them are small offshore vessels such as sampans, they even make a raft to catch fish and shrimp near the beach.

However, it also immediately gave rise to fishing tyrants and pirates.

Cases at sea are frequent, and public order in the coastal waters is chaotic.

Therefore, the Han dynasty urgently needed to legislate maritime security and strengthen the management of marine resources and fisheries.

This is not only a matter of contemporary importance, but also of the rise and fall of the next millennium!

Liu Che is well aware of the potential of the ocean.

Not only is there an infinite amount of resources in the ocean, but even one percent of China's coastal fishery resources can be enough to feed millions of people!

If we can go deep into the ocean in the future, with the technology of the European continent around the 18th century, the fish obtained will be enough to meet the needs of the whole of China.

What's more, the world of the future must belong to the ocean.

As a traverser, how could he not know the importance of sea power?

The Han Empire, although it was a typical land power empire.

However, the sea power of the empire was also indispensable.

The empire of the future must not lose its sea power!

Because, whether it is expansion from afar or colonization of the Indian subcontinent, it is necessary to have sea power to ensure the transportation of resources back to the mainland.

Therefore, the "Maritime Frontier Law" must be formulated and must be formulated.

Adopt laws to affirm the Empire's maritime policy and control over the seas.

Xu Han was even more excited.

He almost trembled, prostrate in front of Liu Che, holding in his hand the book of "Haijiang Law" that had exhausted the efforts of him and the officials of the entire Louchuan Yamen, and bowed sincerely in fear: "The general of the Chenlou Boat is fortunate not to disgrace his life, and he respectfully plays the forty-eight orders of the "Haijiang Law", and more than 170 articles are dedicated to His Majesty's imperial ......."

Liu Che took the thin booklet and opened it.

The first paragraph of text that catches your eye is: The ministers hear: the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, within the four seas, between the Liuhe, among the eight wildernesses, to the sun and the moon, through the ether year, its righteousness is not the concubine of the Han Dynasty.

And between the sea and the frontier, within the waves, the upper and the nine heavens, and the lower abyss, are all the frontiers of the Son of Heaven.

The wealth of the society comes from the ocean, and the crisis of the country must rise from the ocean.

Honesty and even reason!

The general of the Chenlou ship, Song Zi Hou Fierce, was ordered by His Majesty to discuss with the heroes and celebrities at home, and I would like to take the "Book of Law" as the standard, and respectfully list the 48 orders and 173 articles of the "Haijiang Law", so as to support His Majesty to govern the waves of thousands of miles, determine the danger of the waves, and the important things for the people......

Just looking at these words, Liu Che was already happy.

That's how it should be, that's how it should be!

Each of the five oceans of the earth must be the sacred and indivisible territorial waters of the Han Empire!

All of them are the wealth that has belonged to the Zhuxia people since ancient times.

Whoever wants to fight with the Great Han will perish!

Of course, for now, the Han family's control of the sea, that is, the coastal area, the Lou ship fleet has not gone to the deep blue and conquered the unknown and dangerous places.

But the tone has to be set first!

Controlling the ocean is not only about controlling wealth, but also about controlling the rise and fall of life and death.

We have to plan the management of the ocean as a hundred-year plan and a thousand-year strategy!

After reading the various articles of the "Maritime Frontier Law" slightly, Liu Che pondered for a moment and said, "Let's add an article...... The record of the edict of the building ship in the sixth year of Yuande was added to it with the situation of the decree......"

"No!" Xu Han immediately bowed, and his heart was even more ecstatic, in the sixth year of Yuande, the Son of Heaven once ordered the Lou Ship Yamen to authorize the Lou Ship to sink all the arbitrary ships that were twenty miles outside his country without the authorization of the Han family.

This is tantamount to giving the Lou Chuan Yamen unlimited right to fire and unlimited law enforcement power.

It is precisely by virtue of this edict that the Louchuan Yamen can have today's prestige.

On land, the ship was a functional institution of the empire, and could hardly control anything beyond the port.

But when it comes to the sea, the building ship is the master of the world!

The commander of every building ship has the right to act cheaply.

With the lord and the lieutenant Yamen, now the Lou Ship Yamen is not only in charge of maritime affairs, but also can detect smuggling, inspect merchant ships, and even extend his hand to the transportation industry.

Now, in the maritime frontier, the largest transportation owner is the Louchuan Yamen itself.

By consignment and escort of goods for merchants, the general of Lou Chuan's Yamen earned tens of millions of dollars a year!

Moreover, under Liu Che's orders, Lou Chuan Yamen itself has a large fishing fleet.

This fishing fleet was originally established to catch migratory salmon in the Xinhua Blackwater River.

But as the Han army thirsted for fish resources, the fleet gradually expanded.

Up to now, it has developed into a powerful fleet with hundreds of ships of various sizes and can catch hundreds of thousands of stones of various fish and shrimp every year.

Most of the fish and shrimp they caught were supplied to various departments of the Han army as military resources.

A small part of it flowed into the market and became a delicacy for the residents of Chang'an City.

And just this part of the income of dried fish and shrimp is as much as 20 million or 30 million per year!

Lou Chuan naturally wants to catch more fish and shrimp, because, in this era when there is no rival at sea, Lou Chuan's political achievements and resources mainly rely on fishing and anti-smuggling.

Fishing is the easiest way to get political results.

There are many marine resources in this era, which will stagger future generations.

Fish that were treasured as a resource and luxury in later generations are now flooding the sea.

What yellow-lipped fish, what small yellow croaker, what Yangtze River saury, on tons of fishing, tons of drying.

Once the building ship goes to sea, the whole port will be full of all kinds of fresh fish.

However, the private fishing fleet has gradually become overflowing.

Especially the scholars and nobles along the Qilu coast, when they saw that it was so easy for the building boat to fish, they immediately followed, organized a fishing fleet, and went to sea to compete with the building boat.

How can these predators be tolerated when the boat is up and down?

Therefore, in the past two years, the contradiction between the home port of the building fleet and the local gentry has gradually intensified.

Especially in the Qilu area, even those landlords and aristocrats who have no interest or capital to go to sea are also very unpleasant to look at the building ship yamen.

They denounced the building boat yamen for 'competing with the people for profit' and 'using the tools of the community to do their own strength', and even worse, they shouted loudly: 'Your Majesty should abolish the building ship and implement the policy of banning the sea, and the board must not go to the sea!' ’。

Because, the fishing industry driven by the Louchuan Yamen has caused a large number of coastal farmers to give up agriculture and devote themselves to the fishing business.

Even in the inland, there are many people who are interested in the high income and high returns of fishermen, and have devoted themselves to fishing.

The landlords, nobles, and merchants were furious: these mud-legged people refused to work for the old man, nor did they want to work in the master's workshop, but ran to the sea to take risks? How can this be justified, is it tolerable or unbearable!

Even the fishermen are inside, and they don't like the building boat yamen very much!

Especially those fishing tyrants, they regard the building boat as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

In cooperation with the lord and the lord of the war, the Yamen of the building boat carried out anti-smuggling and inspection activities at sea, and strictly investigated tax evasion, tax evasion, concealment and concealment, which offended a large number of maritime merchants with deep backgrounds and the nobles behind these people.

Without Liu Che's protection and protection, the building ship would have been besieged from all sides and trapped in the wind and rain.

However, the life of Lou Chuan is not easy.

However, if today's son reiterated the six-year edict of Dao Yuande, Xu Han was immediately given a shot of cardiotonic, and the whole person instantly became energetic.

The incorporation of that edict into the law will not only consolidate and stabilize the authority of the Lou Chuan, but will also confirm the jurisdiction of the Lou Chuan Yamen over anything in the maritime frontier in the form of law.

What's more, Xu Han also knew the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards Lou Chuan!

Not a general importance, but a very, very important one!

"Earn big!" Xu Han was overjoyed: "It seems that in the future, the warriors of the building ship will definitely be able to become warriors in parallel with the land warriors of the Han army!" ”

For the Louchuan Yamen, up and down, all the Louchuan people have a dream - one day, they will build an independent army and become a separate military branch.

And now it seems that this dream can be realized in the lifetime with the support and encouragement of today's son!

Of course, to realize this dream, Louchuan Yamen still needs to work hard.

Prove yourself with achievements and merits!

Ships must tell the world that they are more than just fishing, patrolling, smuggling and transporting.

They can also command the army to conquer the country, win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, drive straight in, and urge the enemy to be in the palm of their hand.

Just like when he led the fleet of Lou boats, landed at Incheon, and went straight to Pyongyang in one go, destroying Wei's Korea.

And Lou Chuan does have such capabilities.

During the battle of Yan Ji, thousands of boat athletes, thousands of miles to help Yan Guo, they fought side by side with Bo Shi and Li Guang in Yuyang and Youbeiping, and performed well, and many combat heroes emerged!

Liu Che looked at the look on Xu Han's face, smiled slightly, and said to him: "I plan to let Lou Chuan organize a fleet within this year and establish a fixed transportation route from the island of the Japanese slaves to Incheon via Yuanhae...... This matter must be handled by me! ”

The development of precious metal resources such as gold and silver in the neon islands must be put on the agenda!

If we don't find a way to get money for the country, then the future war will probably be unsustainable!

Without money, what kind of war?

Of course, in fact, it is not necessary to dig any gold and silver mountains in neon.

In fact, with the continued development of wool and cotton textile technology, the wool products and cotton quilts of the Han dynasty can now be used as real money.

And it's strong!

The credibility is even higher than unimaginable!

For example, when preparing for the Hexi Campaign, Liu Che took tens of thousands of cotton cloths as allowances and military salaries.

The soldiers of various ministries praised it, believing that it was a more stable currency than holding five baht in their hands.

According to the reports of the military judges and Shang Shulang who went to Fu Jun, after receiving this special military salary, the morale of the various departments of the Han army was high and their fighting spirit was high.

However, the use of cloth as currency can only be used as an expedient measure.

Because in the future, the value of cloth will definitely depreciate, and its depreciation rate is directly proportional to the industrialization speed of the Han Dynasty.

Or gold and silver are reliable!

"No!" Xu Han didn't want to agree immediately: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's hopes......"

Pioneering and opening up a new channel is the main job of Lou Chuan.

Since the establishment of the Louchuan Yamen, the Louchuan Yamen has basically opened up the shipping routes along the coast of China, drawn countless nautical charts, and explored a safe and reliable offshore route.

What's even more exaggerated is that as far as Liu Che knows, Louchuan Yamen even built dozens of lighthouses along the coast of Qilu to guide the course.

This is said to have come from the advice of the Roman emissary.

And this method is indeed very effective, since the establishment of this lighthouse guidance network in the dangerous and key areas and ports along the Qilu coast, the navigation safety and efficiency of the building ships have been greatly improved.

The existence of these lighthouses also allowed countless civilian ships to survive the storm.

After tasting the sweetness, the construction of lighthouses began along the coast of the Andong area.

Chen Huan first built an iconic and huge lighthouse on Cheng'en Island as a navigation coordinate for the whaling fleet.

And the Roman envoy, Mr. Zhao Qin, also became prosperous in the yamen of the building.

Not only was he promoted to the rank of lieutenant, but he also served as the port commander of Jieshi Port in Liaoxi County, and even got the title and became a Han family chief.

This is a high lord, even in the Han family, it belongs to the standard of high-level nobles.

If it was in the Qin Dynasty, it was enough to become a prominent figure in the government and the opposition.

In this great court, the Roman envoy was also recalled to Chang'an to participate in this grand meeting as a representative of the general Yamen of the Lou boat.

It can be regarded as an affirmation of him.

A Great Qin person (Roman) can mix in this coffee position in the Han Dynasty, which is really commendable!

Merely...... This person has always been a thief, and he has wanted to get close to the people of the Mo family many times to get the technology or method to remove lead poison.

It can only be said that this person's patriotic spirit is admirable.

Unfortunately, there is no solution or technology to lead poisoning on Earth today.

Therefore, his efforts are destined to be in vain.

Thinking of this person, Liu Che remembered the Roman Republic, which became famous in later history and became the source of the system and culture of the Western world.

"I wonder if Rome today is aware of the changes in the East?" Liu Che speculated in his heart.

But in fact, the current Roman Republic does not want to care about the affairs of the East at all.

Because, they are busy in Greece to cut people and rob money and rob!

Now that the Third Carthaginian War is over, Rome has completely destroyed this old enemy, slapping the Greeks to death by the way.

Ancient city-states such as Athens and Greece were shrouded in raging flames.

The vigorous Greek uprising failed.

All the city-states were breached, and the Roman soldiers broke in, killed all the men they could see, and then happily prepared to return to their divisions with slaves and women and gold.

And in places that the Romans did not notice, in Jerusalem in the east, dozens of Jews wept around their holy relics.

The messenger of Antiochus IV of Seleucus was outside.

This barbaric messenger brought the command of Antiochus the Great: the Jews must convert to the Greek gods, or else there will be no grass left!

Under the threat of Seleucus, the elders of the Jews trembled.

Only Sennah of the Maccabees was strong-willed.

He has decided to rebel against the Seleucid rule and re-establish the Messiah and restore the glory of King Solomon!

To achieve this, he must have the support of all Jews.

And to get the support of these people, he has to dance the gods, and he has to tell people that he has God's approval.

So, Mr. Senna wrote a book.

The name of the book is – Revelation.

The seeds of the Friendship Church have sprouted.

Judaism also began to split from this moment, and the covenant and secular schools emerged......

A new page has been turned in the history and religion of the continent.
