After secretly meeting Li Jinwu and Zhang Yan, Zhao Xing continued to go down the river on the second day and headed for Quanzhou Shuishi City, the end point of this trip.

For a period of time, it is impossible for the Montenegrin army to be put into the frontal battlefield, and they first need to clean up some of their stubborn diseases and Yuan Shao's eyeliner buried in the army. Since Li Jinwu and Jia Mu were able to persuade Zhang Yan to vote with Huairou means, Zhao Xing handed over the internal rectification work of the Montenegrin Army to them in the future, and did not interfere too much in some specific affairs.

What Zhao Xing needs to make clear to the two is the number of the Black Mountain Army, the future direction of operations, and the various logistics and equipment support that the Jin State will provide. Zhao Xing did not have the slightest worry that the Montenegrin Army would eventually become Li Jinwu or Jia Mu's private army, his self-confidence stemmed from his absolute trust in the two and the army management system that had gradually become a system.

Zhao Xing's team continued south, and when they reached thirty miles north of Quanzhou City, they happened to meet Tai Shici's team that had come to greet them.

Seeing Zhao Xing for the first time, Tai Shi Ci immediately dismounted and saluted Zhao Xing, and said enthusiastically: "The last general Tai Shi Ci came to meet the lord!"

"Ziyi doesn't need to be polite, it's really hard to let you stay alone in the lonely city of Quanzhou!" Zhao Xing said sincerely with a smile on his face.

"Ci should do his best for the great cause of the lord, but his ability is limited, and now the Jin State Sailor has created a grass, everything is not smooth, and I am afraid that he will live up to the lord's trust!" Tai Shi Ci replied solemnly.

"Don't be in a hurry in everything, the Jin State Water Master can have today's development achievements, Ziyi is indispensable, don't be presumptuous!" Zhao Xing took Tai Shici's hand and walked forward firmly.

At noon on the second day, Zhao Xing, accompanied by Tai Shici, arrived at Quanzhou City.

Although it was a cold and windy November, groups of sailors and masons, carpenters, potters and other workers recruited from the Jin Kingdom were not trapped by the cold weather, and continued to be busy building the city and expanding the wharf.

Tai Shici accompanied Zhao Xing to stand on the top of a waterfront lighthouse that doubled as a watchtower, holding an engineering construction drawing in his hand, and from time to time pointing to a building at Zhao Xing's feet that had been completed or was still in its infancy, explaining the purpose and name of these buildings.

"Today, there are more than 15,000 sailors of various professions under the Sailor Yamen, more than 200 large and small warships and transport vessels, and 100,000 permanent residents in Quanzhou Sailor City, mainly young and strong laborers and soldiers' families......" Tai Shici explained to Zhao Xing the current construction of the Sailor Yamen.

After listening to Tai Shici's introduction, Zhao Xing began to ask some questions that he was more concerned about. He asked: "Can the charts along the Bohai Sea be completely successfully drawn today? In particular, are the coastal areas of Liaodong and Samhan well known?"

"The preliminary drawing has been successful, but I think there are still many places that are not detailed and accurate enough, and we still need to continue to carry out on-site investigation and correction!" Tai Shici replied truthfully, without any water at all.

"Very good, the military-specific nautical charts are the first life of sailors and ships, and they must be treated with a rigorous and meticulous attitude, and they must not be dealt with!" Zhao Xing nodded, and then continued to ask: "Can the marine guide instrument invented by Ma Jun be used at sea?"

"After a period of trial, it was found that the guide instrument was basically usable in most of the sea area, but there were also problems with sometimes malfunctions and misdirection. Tai Shi Ci replied very honestly.

After hearing this, Zhao Xing said to himself: "It seems that the problem of magnetic storms is still difficult to solve, and only by using near-shore navigation in combination with navigation instruments such as land mark positioning and star positioning can we ensure that the fleet will be rampant ......on the five oceans in the future."

It was the first time that Tai Shici had heard the word "magnetic storm" come to an end, and although he didn't understand the meaning, he also speculated that it might be related to the pointing of the guide instrument, so he suggested: "I thought that a large number of experienced old fishermen should be recruited in the coastal areas, so that they should be specially responsible for identifying the direction of the sea, and corroborate and combine them with our navigation means to ensure that the fleet does not deviate." ”

"Well, it works, and we're not short of the little money we pay the old boatmen. If it is not enough, I will immediately write to Qin Yilu and ask him to raise another two million taels of silver for the sailor!" Zhao Xing said in a firm tone.

After hesitating for a moment, Tai Shici replied: "The funds of the Sailor Yamen Headquarters are sufficient for the time being, but if you want to maintain the Sailor Advance Base from Yuzhou Mountain Military Port all the way to the north, it is still a little stretched. The greatest difficulty we are facing at present is the lack of available talent, especially for the management of logistics equipment. All the way north from Yuzhou Mountain Island, I have people take care of and build four advance bases, which are currently maintained and managed by local officials, who are worried that they will not be able to do their work, and second, it is difficult to fully trust. ”

Zhao Xing nodded, indicating that he understood what Tai Shici was concerned about and worried about, and then asked in a relaxed tone: "I heard that the Sailor Yamen now relies on selling seafood and makes a lot of money?"

Tai Shici replied with some embarrassment: "It's all a little bit of a fight, mainly to make the landlubbers in the army familiar with the water as soon as possible, no longer seasick, and at the same time reduce the financial pressure on the military department." Since August, he has earned a total of 300,000 taels of silver from selling seafood in three months, and at the same time, he has saved 200,000 taels of silver by eating it himself. ”

After listening to the set of data reported by Tai Shici, the expression on Zhao Xing's face was very exciting. He really didn't expect that Tai Shici, who had never done business before, would be able to save him such a considerable amount of money with a group of sailors! Zhao Xing patted Tai Shici on the shoulder heavily, and then said happily: "Ziyi always surprises me, only a few months after taking office, not only bought Yuzhou Mountain Island, but also built several forward bases along the road, and now it is even more open source and reduce expenditure, saving a lot of money for the Jin Kingdom!"

Tai Shi Ci's sturdy and burly shoulders, after a few reshoots of Zhao Xing, there was nothing to do, only to see him take out a large "Complete Map of the World", and said to Zhao Xing with a look of admiration and yearning: "Ci's methods are just small skills of carving insects, how can they be compared with the lord's heart for all the countries and continents of the world." The whole map of the sea and land drawn by the lord at the beginning, now our sailors have been familiar with the coasts of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea according to the map, and the topography is basically consistent with your marking, especially this Jeju Island, which is thousands of miles away, and Tsushima Island beyond, really exists!"

Zhao Xing felt proud for a while, secretly thinking that when he went from a soldier to the post of special forces battalion commander, collecting geographic information and hand-drawing various topographic maps was a compulsory course, and the higher the position, the stricter the requirements. Many people may not know that they can conquer the world with just a flat world map, but in fact they are very wrong. Even before the crossing, digital maps and satellite navigation technology were already very developed, but many uninhabited areas and dangerous places still needed him and his brothers to enter and explore.

Zhao Xing's hand-drawn "Complete Map of the World" is just a plot of the five continents, the four oceans and the prominent geographical indications around the world, and many data and specific conditions do not fully correspond because of ancient and modern geological changes. But even so, this kind of "born to know" ability is too terrifying, no wonder Tai Shici's eyes are full of admiration and admiration. Because Tai Shici has never heard of Zhao Xing's short life in the past 27 years, which years have he lived adrift on the sea, so how did Zhao Xing depict such a detailed and credible chart?

Zhao Xing would never be able to tell the people around him about his identity that he had crossed over, even if it was his closest companion and subordinates, just because no one dared to believe this statement except himself.

In order to avoid Tai Shici's somewhat puzzled gaze, Zhao Xing changed the topic and said with a relaxed and natural face: "As an outward expanding army, Admiral Sailor will not only continue to engage in maritime trade in the future, but also hire a large number of businessmen to participate in it. It won't be long before Ziyi discovers how amazing and huge the profits of the maritime trade routes are. If the Han people want to achieve their ambition of dominating the world and dominating the world, they must conquer the endless sea, because our ultimate way out must be on the sea!"

"My lord, can you leave the last words you just said to Mobao? I want every generation of officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to keep this inspiring sentence in their hearts!" Tai Shici said with a solemn face.

Zhao Xing waved his hand and said loudly to the shadowy mast and sail in the distance: "Okay, as Ziyi wishes, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are waiting!"
