Ge Qiuyan beckoned, and the three bears ran over happily, and the fur on their bodies rippled up and down like ripples under the action of fat.
Yun Zheng took a bite of lunch, and the female bear squatted on the side with drooling and watched with her eyes, so she couldn't eat it, so she had to stuff the cake with sauce and beef into the female bear's mouth, and she ate very happily.
Yun San looked down on the appearance of the female bear, and reoccupied Yun Zheng's feet with a bark of indifference, and had just been fed by Ge Qiuyan, and it couldn't raise the slightest interest in fighting against the female bear.
It's getting harder and harder to get along with people, Yun Zheng likes to be with the family dog, the house snake and the foreign dog bear, so it doesn't bother!
After taking a nap on the hay with a hat on his face, Ge Qiuyan sat next to him to do a little needlework, and put some beautiful little tiger heads and the like beside him, Yun San continued to rest with his chin on Yun Da's instep, as for the three of the dog bear family had already gone down to the pond to catch fish.
Yun Er left, with some people who didn't even know the names of Yun Da, and when he left, the bacon and Qin Guo cried very miserably, but Yun Er still left, and he walked very happily, because the doctor told him that Qin Guo was pregnant.
He grew up almost overnight, and although there was still only soft fluff on his lips, he was reluctant to shave it, so he stubbornly kept it, ready to make his beard longer, so that he looked older.
The people of the Great Song Dynasty are no strangers to the ocean. The overseas trade of the Great Song Dynasty flourished, far exceeding that of its predecessors. In order to increase fiscal revenue, the Song court attached great importance to overseas trade. In the fourth year of Taizu Kaibao, he set up a city shipping department in Guangzhou, and later set up a city shipping department in Hangzhou, and the two cities of Guangzhou and Hangzhou were in charge of Lingnan and Liangzhejiang Road ports in charge of foreign navigation trade tax collection and other affairs.
Later, it set up a division in Mingzhou. Guangzhou, Hangzhou, and Mingzhou are collectively known as the "three divisions", and later set up two city divisions in Quanzhou and Mizhou.
Merchant ships must first report to the city shipping department to obtain a public certificate before they can set off. When a foreign merchant ship arrives at a port in China, it must first report to the Municipal Shipping Department, which will send someone to inspect the ship and collect 10% of its goods as import tax. The extracted goods are sent to the capital and handed over to the state treasury called "extraction", and "extraction" is an important financial tax of the imperial court.
Ten kinds of goods are prohibited items, namely tortoiseshell, ivory, rhino horn, biniron, leather, coral, agate, **, purple ore, and brass. All of them are purchased by the market agency, and some of the other goods are also bought, which is collectively called "Bomai". Draw points is a tax in kind, and Bomai is a disguised market tax with a mandatory price limit acquisition. The goods purchased by the extraction and Bo were all sent to the imperial court.
Later, because of Yun Zheng. All Hu merchants who wanted to enter Mizhou to participate in the trade between Tokyo and Hebei had to load the rice produced in Lingnan with the spare cargo space of merchant ships, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the canal.
Most of the ships that transport people in the coastal waters of the Great Song Dynasty are mainly passenger boats, which are more than ten zhang long, three zhang deep, two zhang and five feet wide, and can carry 2,000 huhu. There may be sixty sailors per boat. The interior has a unique watertight cabin structure.
The passenger boat is divided into three cabins: the front bilge is used for the stove and the water tank. The middle cabin is divided into four compartments. The rear cabin is more than a foot high, and there are windows on the four walls. There are railings above. If the ship is accompanied by an envoy of the imperial court, the envoys and officials are separated in order. There are bamboo canopies on the deck, which are stacked on weekdays and carefully covered in case of rain.
The Great Song Dynasty also built many cars and ships. Vehicles and boats are also one of the important inventions and creations of the ancient Chinese people. It was designed and manufactured by Li Gao in Jingnan Jiedu during the Tang Dezong period. It can be said to be the ancestor of modern steamships.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, vehicles and ships were widely used in the naval system. A vehicle ship is a type of warship. It has two wooden paddles, one on each side, one wheel is called a car, and the paddles are pedaled by manpower to drive the paddles to rotate. Make the boat move and move fast. The history is known as the wind and waves, and the speed is like a sail seat.
By the time of the Great Song Dynasty, the number of oars increased, including four, six, eight, twenty, twenty-four, and thirty-two wheels.
Yun Er's most important task on this trip to Mizhou is to obtain enough loach boats, which is a variant of the car ship, because this kind of ship runs flexibly at sea, light and fast is the best tool for sea warfare, but it is a pity that this kind of ship is still not valued by the Great Song Dynasty government until now, but Yun Zheng clearly knows that decades later, Yu Yunwen, the fierce general of the Southern Song Dynasty, relied on the loach ship to kill the Jin State in Quarry Rock, which fully confirmed the power of this kind of ship.
Shi Zhongxin's cronies have already arrived in Mizhou, and the old housekeeper is already taking the lead in setting up the local government according to Yun Zheng's instructions, striving to get five to ten loach boats after Yun Er arrives in Mizhou.
At that time, although the performance of the giant boat sea passenger ship that passed through the north of the Shi family was still excellent, in the eyes of the Yun family brothers, this kind of ship was still not competent for sea operations.
The warship's head is small, and the pointed bottom is V-shaped, which is convenient for breaking the waves. Flattened and wide, tall, and drafted, it must be stable when hit by lateral winds, and at the same time, the structure is sturdy, and the hull has sealed compartments, which must be safe. The floor and side panels are made of double or triple plate structure, respectively, and the boat has multiple sails and sails, which is convenient for the use of multi-faceted winds. Large ships must also be equipped with small boats, which can save lives and rescue in case of emergency.
As for the equipment of two anchors on each ship, the Song ship has long been available, and there are also water exploration equipment in the boat. Coupled with a compass that has been fixed and formed, these things are ideal for ocean voyages.
Yun Er's journey is of far-reaching significance to the Yun family, this is the most important major change of the Yun family, and the focus of the Yun family will gradually shift from the land to the sea.
After Yun Zheng made the decision to transfer to the sea, it caused great controversy in the internal meeting of the Jiazi battalion, the older Jiazi battalion was reluctant to leave the current rich land life, but the younger generation was ambitious, they have traveled all over the world with caravans and armies over the years, and the farthest one also took a boat from Guangzhou to reach Japo, Lanli Country, and Dashi Country, and the caravan that specialized in taking land routes arrived at Bagan and Tianzhu, They all witnessed the richness of the sea and the necessity of having a caravan at sea.
The strength of the Jiazi battalion gave them infinite confidence and the courage to defy the world, and even the waves of the sea could not make them flinch in the slightest.
Their desire was so strong that in the end, the older generation of old people in the Jiaziying had to obey the advice of these younger generations who were more knowledgeable, courageous, and learned than them, and reluctantly agreed to go to the sea to develop, and they did not want their children and grandchildren to run away, and in the end they were left to squat on land with a large amount of wealth.
The Chinese people's view of happiness has not changed much from ancient times to the present, as long as the family is together, even if it is sweet to eat some bitterness, they were kidnapped by their children and grandchildren in the name of happiness.
It was during Yun Er's trip that Yun Zheng gave Yun Er all the dispatch power of the astrolabe and the Eagle's Nest, except for the Tokyo Flower Girl, he had the right to mobilize all the economic strength and manpower of the Yun family along the Great Song Dynasty.
Lu Qingqing had been sorting out this for three days, and he had been talking with Yun Er in the study for two whole days before he completely handed over all the strength distribution and personnel positions to Yun Er.
Even Yun Er had to be surprised that the Yun family had laid such a deep foundation over the years. He even thought that at the beginning of arranging the Yun family's forces, his eldest brother might have the idea of usurping the throne.
It's strange, Hanlin can always find Yun Zheng anytime and anywhere, this time he came out of the barley field, if it weren't for the fact that the three members of the bear family always looked at the place where he was hiding, the monkey would not have thought to go and see the place that worried the bear for himself.
"Your brother is gone, taking away a large number of mountain spirits and water monsters, and also taking away a lot of money, and the Great Song Qianzhuang in Dousha Pass has issued a large number of silver tickets, can you tell me what he is going to do?"
has been with Yun Zheng for a long time, and he knows that it is better to ask in person than to peep at others and disgust Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng took away the hat buckled on his face, first looked at Ge Qiuyan, and then said with a smile: "Lao Tzu won't play with you anymore, and I'm going to go to the sea to make a living." β
Han Lin smiled: "Then it has nothing to do with me, my duties are limited to land, and things at sea have nothing to do with me, when are you going to leave?" β
Yun Zheng said with a smile: "Actually, I want to leave now, but I can't let go of the good situation that I have worked hard for all these years, and I always have to come up with a result before I can leave with peace of mind." β
Han Lin was silent for a while and said: "It's really boring, it's been mixed on land for a long time, there will always be endless moths, it's better to go to the sea to be quieter." Speak up if you need my help, there are some things that are easier for us to do than you are. β
Yun Zheng smiled: "That's right, I will leave a position for you on the ship, help me figure out those islands in the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, it would be better if I could get a nautical chart." β
"These jobs are not difficult, there are our people in the city, as long as it is the existing navigation chart of the Great Song Dynasty, we can get it, but let's say it first, one space is not enough."
Han Lin blushed a little when he said these words, he himself had fought for the secrets of the Great Song Dynasty all his life, but now he wants to use the secrets of the Great Song Dynasty to pave his way out.
Yun Zheng sighed and said: "Look at it, what has the world forced people to be, I don't doubt your loyalty to the emperor, even after you hand over these secrets, I still don't doubt it."
Come, take your doomed men with you, and together we will find a place where we can live. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
