Chapter 678: The Rocking Steamer
"Your Majesty is ......!"
After Ying Zheng boarded the steamship with all the officials and guards, the officials of Jiaodong County hurriedly said goodbye.
Although Ying Zheng did not take more than half an hour from getting off the train to leaving the steamer, the officials' hearts were always tugging at this half hour.
I'm afraid that as soon as I put it down, I will do something wrong and my head will not be protected!
It wasn't until they watched the steamer gradually move away and determined that Ying Zheng could not turn back that the officials breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the city with ease!
Ying Zheng and the old cargo were driving on the sea in the real sense of the word for the first time, and they were a little nervous, leaning on the mast and not moving!
When the steamer was launched for the first time, the old cargo also tried it, but only for a short time in the Weishui River.
Although the river is wide, it is far less than the blue sea.
The sea breeze blows, and the steamship rocks!
"Father, don't be afraid, driving on the sea will definitely not be as smooth as Weishui!"
Looking at Ying Zheng's nervous look, Ying Feiyu smiled and comforted.
"You kid Hugh is going to talk nonsense, which eye do you see that I am scared?"
Ying Zheng is the king of a country, and he will definitely not easily say the word "afraid", so he said stubbornly.
"That's okay, father, you stay here, and the sons will go to rest first! It's still far from Huiji County! ”
Ying Feiyu stretched his waist and walked towards the cabin.
When they boarded the ship, it was already sunset, and they had driven so far out that the night was getting thicker.
There are more people at night on the sea than in the county.
The cold sea breeze, mixed with the salty smell, is not pleasant!
"Hey! Stinky boy, you're waiting for me! ”
Ying Zheng glanced at the old goods, let go of his hand, and quickly chased after them.
The old goods looked at each other and hurried over.
No way, they can't stay here all the time, can they?
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this ship won't be rocking like this forever, will it?"
When they arrived at the cabin, the bodies of the old cargo were still swaying back and forth with the ship, so they asked suspiciously.
"That's right!"
Although Ying Feiyu's small body was also shaking, her expression was relaxed, and she was still holding a teacup and drinking hot tea.
"Ah...... This...... How can you eat here? How do you sleep? ”
The veterans immediately flattened their mouths.
Ying Zheng's expression was also extremely reluctant!
"How else can you eat it? Eat with your mouth! Is it possible that the cost of the prince chewed it and fed you? ”
Ying Feiyu didn't even lift his eyelids.
"Then you don't have to!"
The old goods hurriedly waved their hands.
"Good fellow, I only know now that the navy is really not easy to do!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you went to Wo Island before, and you shook like this?"
"Of course! We won't go into the deep sea today, just drive along the beach! If you go to the deep sea, there are many unknown dangers! The wind alone is much bigger than that! It's impossible to stand firm, even if you're lying in bed, you'll be shaken down! ”
"What? There is such a big storm? ”
After a brief introduction by Ying Feiyu, the old goods suddenly dispelled the idea of traveling by boat in the future.
"Of course!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"Han Xin led his troops to sea by boat, shouldn't there be any danger?"
Speaking of the dangers at sea, Ying Zheng suddenly remembered the 300,000 troops who went to the west.
So far, there is still no news at all, and I don't think it's fake!
"Father, rest assured, didn't the son say it! The distance is too far, and it is very inconvenient to transmit the message, so let's just wait! ”
Ying Feiyu is still those perfunctory words.
No way, he doesn't know what's going on over there!
Originally, he was still full of confidence, but this old guy mentioned it at every turn, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart now!
But he can't say it!
If he said it, Yingzheng would be even more panicked.
Wait, there's always news!
The old goods were used to staying on land, and suddenly they felt unwell when they took this rickety sea boat, so they went to sleep early!
Ying Feiyu came to the deck alone to breathe, and after a moment of unthinking, Ying Zheng also followed.
"Why hasn't my father slept yet?"
"I'm worried about state affairs, I can't sleep!"
After dangling on the boat for so long, Ying Zheng's nervous demeanor was obviously much less, and he seemed to have gotten used to it.
"Father, the son has already said that the flood in Nanzhou City is a natural disaster, which cannot be changed by man!"
Ying Feiyu opened his mouth to convince him.
"Every year, the imperial court spends a lot of money to build and strengthen the embankment! The embankment in Nanju Castle is the largest in the vicinity, and it is impossible not to repair it! ”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
"Does my father think that this matter is not as simple as the report?"
"Hmmm! If it weren't for the fact that someone embezzled the money for repairs, causing the Nanzhou embankment to fall into disrepair, it would have been man-made sabotage, taking advantage of the rainy season, causing the embankment to burst and cause civil unrest! ”
"Won't it?"
Seriously, Ying Feiyu really didn't think about it so much.
Official corruption has occurred in all dynasties.
But man-made destruction caused disasters to the people, resulting in civil unrest, he really didn't think about it!
Now that Daqin is thriving and the people are living a prosperous life, who would do this?
"I can't say it now, I'll have to see it to find out! However, Feiyu, you remember, even if the world is peaceful and the people are rich, but the people's hearts are insufficient, there will always be people who come out to stir up trouble! What's more, there are still many remnants of the Six Kingdoms in Great Qin, plus the Xiongnu, Qiang and other places that have just been defeated! Among them, there will be people who want to instigate and restore the country, and we must cheer up! ”
Ying Zheng looked ahead, his expression was extremely flat, as if he was not talking about his own affairs.
Or perhaps, these things have become commonplace for him!
Since he was a child, he has been surrounded by these deceits.
Even if there is occasional turmoil now, it should be much better than back then!
"Yes! Erchen knows! ”
Ying Feiyu is extremely well-behaved this time.
Because he suddenly thought of the various experiences of Yingzheng in history, he deeply felt that it was not easy for the scumbag!
"Hey! You're obedient today! ”
seems to have been accustomed to Ying Feiyu's rebuttal, and suddenly became so obedient, he really wasn't used to it!
"Erchen has always been very well-behaved, okay!"
"Come on, since you kid came to Daqin, how many times have you not been against me?"
"What's the matter? My father must have misremembered! ”
"Humph!"
After a few words with this kid, Yingzheng felt a lot more soothed.
"The sea at night is so quiet!"
It seems that he has gradually adapted to the steamer, and Yingzheng actually opened his arms to feel the cool sea breeze.
"Father, let me tell you, there is indeed a certain danger at sea, but there is too much wealth hidden in this seabed!"
Speaking of the sea, Ying Feiyu's conversation box opened up at once, and he began to talk to him about the sea.
All kinds of sea fish, shells, and how pearls are formed!
There are also ways to cultivate various kinds of seafood, and methods to cultivate pearls!
Later, we talked about the depth of the sea, the pressure on the bottom of the sea, and so on!
All in all, as long as Ying Feiyu knows a little bit about it, he will tell it all.
Ying Zheng just blinked and listened, very seriously!
