259. Open up the trade route of Junbao

During this period, the Anglo-Saxon navy relied on the soldiers on board to fight.

Some ships are larger, and some throwing weapons can be placed to fight enemy ships or enemy landings.

The white soldiers on the ship fought more than just the use of long swords.

Naval combat skills and equipment are relatively simple,

Coastal defense or transportation is primary, coastal plunder is almost none.

Lucien's diagram also depicts two types of Saxon ships: longships and warships.

The paper is still Ollan's commercial paper, and after it is spread, it can be collaged multiple sheets.

If it is leather paper, the paper used by Lucien for this meeting is worth the upper half of the lamb.

Orlan was a little proud, and then concentrated on looking at the picture.

The former has a long hull and a narrow and shallow bottom, making it easy to sail in shallow waters and rivers.

Multi-dimensional single or twin masts, propelled by galleys.

Each longship can carry up to sixty warriors.

This also included the Viking dragon ships, as well as the refinement of the Frankish ships.

The Franks had close ties with England, and the Seven Nations Navy was the benchmark for that country.

The "warship" is larger, and the throwing weapon is generally on the warship,

The hull is reinforced, the bottom is widened, and it will not be so crowded and uncomfortable for long sailing and fighting at sea.

If you want to imitate the speed of the dragon boat, you can change the structure of the longship to be more narrow and maneuverable.

Optimize the design and arrangement of the paddles.

And on the side of the ship device the wall with protruding weapons.

Lucien explained in detail.

But ninety percent of the people are land knight nobles, they don't care, it's okay.

They think horses are much more enjoyable than boats.

Oran was fascinated by what he heard, and had the idea of poaching.

Crew sailor training, no less than training out a rider,

If it's a solo captain, it's even longer, years!

The navy in Oran was a port keeper who had been trained in boating and swimming.

Ship control and escape, these are the two most important training,

Every year, he trains seven days of contradiction, and if he is well-born, he also has archery training.

They serve regularly every year, and when others help the lord or the church, these navies gather somewhere, completely unprofessional.

When the lord needs them, he pulls people again.

But some may have died, and his son was forced to play on an improvised basis.

Wessex is similar.

War strategy, tactical command, and overall training are basically absent.

Lucien made the training process and institutionalized.

He even put forward the concepts of fleet coordination, combat cooperation, and login cooperation, as well as the novel theory of naval battle simulation.

"Simulation?"

"How can war be inferred by acting."

This idea is not supported, and some knights feel that they will fight to the death with the Vikings, and as long as they don't die, they will have a full experience.

Pull dissatisfied?

Let's do it again!

This idea is significantly more supported.

Lucien was not discouraged, he had discussed these plans with the crown prince, as long as the crown prince nodded.

At the end, Lucien strictly defines the types of ships as five: warships, expedition ships, merchant ships, fishing ships, and transport ships.

And according to different needs, improve at any time.

Lucien sat down and replaced him with Axel.

The monk Oran knew that he was young and energetic, and he had shaved all his hair, which symbolized desire, and was working on a "biography of Alfred".

Isn't this kind of behavior a sycophant to Oran?

Alfred wasn't much better than himself.

At the same time, with a thought, his own merits should also be written?

What Axel proposed was how to preserve the Chinese of the country destroyed by the Vikings,

He proposed to collect the remaining books and materials and rebuild a royal library.

He sees the long future, but the knights think about the present of the dilemma,

How can there be gold for you to squander at this time?

The people of Orlan also joined the discussion, but more often than not.

Orlan agreed with the library's idea, and said, "King's Landing can be used as a storage place, Ben Bo has always respected wisdom and craftsmanship, and he will hand over the craftsmen and these books to the north, and I will protect them with my life." ”

Alfred didn't agree, he desperately collected it, only to save some of it, and take it all for you?

Is there a day to come back?

After this problem is over, there is the issue of trade.

It was Orlan's turn to play, and he proposed to build a Greater England market.

When this topic was raised, even Alfred was conservative.

Oran explained it himself.

Lucien only read the manuscript in its entirety, but there was no emotion.

Oran, on the other hand, is like a tavern storyteller, who can stir up emotions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you all have estates, you are all lords, and you must know the value of a sheep.

Can you exchange a large barrel of wine?

A good-looking Mediterranean maid or a strong man?

A beautifully crafted dagger or a delicious spice roast?"

After the Orlan people chose to interact, they continued,

"A sheep can produce five commodities: wool, meat, skin, bone, and milk.

Wool can be used in clothing and weaving.

To elaborate a little more,

Wool is made of fleece, which can be mixed in other knitted products.

The fibers are compressed to become hats, shoes,

After processing, it can be turned into flannel, coats and bedspreads, or carpets and curtains.

It can also be hung on the wall decoration or even made into a small plaything.

The largest quantity we export to the Franks is wool fabrics.

But the profit is too low, we bid against each other, the tariffs on transportation from all over the country, the tariffs on entering the port,

The risk of being robbed by the Vikings, the risk of being shipwrecked, the actual sale of a sheep's wool, the final profit, is only the wool profit of one leg,

Since the unified operation of the Guild in Bembour's territory, the output of various commodities has been three to four times that of the original.

The effect is noticeable, and it is growing every year.

If the guilds were to be used throughout England, we would be able to control the price of goods transported to the south.

We also have leather, fish, timber and even local special herbs that can be exported.

That's what I'm going to do,

The navy was very important at this time by concentrating the artisan population, unifying the deprivation of customs duties between the various routes, selecting a few natural port cities as trading ports, sending raw materials for processing, and going directly out of the port......

The Franks have a lot of land, and we can ask them for textiles, iron smelting and metal skills.

There are also luxury goods and perfumes for lovers or wives,

Excellent wine and other condiments.

Even ceramics, ivory, bronze, wood carvings and other things.

It's also profitable for them and also solves our problem of low productivity,

Once we increase our production, we will be able to trade with other places.

It even served as a transshipment station to sell Frankish goods to the North Sea countries. ”

The North Sea kingdoms refer to the Vikings.

They had a lot of raw ore on their side, and there was a golden road along the inland river that led to King's Castle.

Oran thought, can one day open up a North Sea-Junbao-Mediterranean trade route?

There will always be a day when the battle will be over, and as long as the Viking lord who comes to power is a friend, who will be afraid of having more money?

And if trade can bring considerable profits, then they will still trek through mountains and rivers to pay for their lives like this?

Of course, there is still a long way to go before Oran's plan is to be implemented.

But if you are not afraid of being difficult, you are afraid of not doing it.

He doesn't have the craftsmanship skills in his head that are ahead of his time,

Rifles, gas ships, blast furnaces, submarines, satellites are still in a state of exploration.

In 800 years, the first three should be lit up?

Dripping water through stones, let's make progress little by little......
