At the mouth of Oushui, ten huge ships docked on the shore, the hull of the ship shook gently with the turbulence of the sea, and the sea water slapped against the side of the ship and the reef by the sea, making a huge roar, which spread to miles away.

Qingshe and Qingqin saw Lou Boat for the first time, and they were extremely shocked.

"No wonder it's called a building boat, it turns out to be as tall as a two- or three-story building." Qing Qin muttered.

Thinking that Yan Country was also a coastal country, but it did not have such a big ship, Qing Qin sighed in his heart. When Zhao Guo gets these sea ships, Yan Guo is no match for Zhao Guo.

Although he has surrendered to Zhao State, Qing Qin still often regards himself as a native of Yan State in his heart, and it is difficult to reverse his concept for a while.

"These are the best ten big ships in our Yue Kingdom, and the rest can't be sold to Zhao Guo, and we have to keep a few for backup." Chang Yang, the person in charge of the Yue Kingdom, pointed to the big ship and said.

Having lost their shipyards, they no longer have the capacity to build large ships, which are the only ships left to be fruitful in the Great War of Yue Chu decades ago.

They kept six ships in case they needed them, and the remaining ten ships were all sold to the Zhao State.

With their current strength, it is useless to leave so many big ships, it is better to exchange some money and weapons to enhance their own strength.

"Thank you Yue Guo, when I go back, I will definitely send the gold and weapons as soon as possible." Qingshe said with his fists clenched.

Although he didn't know how to ship, he could also see from the size that the ship that Yue Guo sold them was slightly larger than the ship he kept.

"This is Ou Yeshou, the descendant of the swordsmith Ou Yezi, and the head of these shipwrights." Chang Yang pointed to the middle-aged man in front of him and said.

Ou Yeshou was about forty years old, medium height, dark complexion, and what caught the eye was his palm, which was extremely wide, like a pu fan, comparable to the size of two palms of ordinary people.

"Grass man Ou Yeshou has seen the general." Ou Yeshou hugged his fists and saluted, and said humbly, obviously well-educated.

Qingshe and the two did not hold it up, and returned the salute.

"This is Yuan Hua, the descendant of my general Yue Guo, who is in charge of these sailors." General Yue Guo pointed to the young man next to Ou Yeshou and said.

"I've seen the general." Yuan Hua saluted.

Unlike others, Yuan Hua took the initiative to go to Zhao, although he was a descendant of the general of Yue, he was not ranked in Yueguo at all.

Besides, now that even the king of Yue is hiding in Tibet, how much role can he play as a descendant of a general?

Li Si once said: "The virtuous of people is like a mouse, in their own ears!" ”

Although Yuan Hua did not say the same thing, he understood the same truth.

For more than 20 years, he deeply felt that Yue Guo was a quagmire that was gradually drying up, and a few fish in the quagmire were still fighting each other for a few drops of muddy water.

Staying in the Yue Kingdom will never come out, so it is better to seize this opportunity to follow Qingshe to join the Zhao State.

The strength of Zhao is far stronger than that of Yue, not to mention, when he arrives in Zhao, he is the only person who understands water warfare, as long as Zhao forms a naval army, he will inevitably be reused, and it is definitely not comparable to staying in Yue.

"Yes, it's sturdy." Keisha nodded in satisfaction.

Yuan Hua has obviously practiced martial arts, and he has internal qi, which is already very good at this age.

Qingshe looked behind him again, and there were two hundred shipwrights, five hundred sailors, all of whom were young and old, and all the sailors were strong men.

Yue Guo did not perfunctory Zhao Guo in this regard, after all, Zhao Guo's gold and weapons have not yet been sent, and the handle is still in the hands of others.

"General, when are we leaving?" Chang Yang asked.

"Do you want to go by sea?" Qingshe said in surprise that he had never sailed by boat.

"Of course, otherwise, how can these sea ships be sent to Zhao State." Chang Yang said with a smile, you can't carry it from the land.

"Wait for me to say goodbye to King Yue first, and I will leave tomorrow." Qingshe thought for a while and said, he also wanted to try what it was like to go to sea by boat, after all, he had never experienced it in his life.

……

The next day, Qingshe led ten large ships, two hundred shipwrights, and five hundred sailors into the sea and sailed in the direction of Zhao State.

He was accompanied by Chang Yang and ten Yue people, who went to Zhao as envoys.

In order to prevent Zhao from defaulting on his debts and not giving Yue gold and weapons after getting the ship, Qing Qin stayed in Yue as a hostage, and only after Zhao sent these things to Yue Guo would Yue Guo release Qing Qin back.

……

After Guo Zong and Zhuo Su nodded, the other businessmen also agreed. Even if the leaders surrendered, there was nothing they could do if they didn't agree.

Moreover, the conditions given by Zhao Guo were very generous, and everyone did not resist at the risk of being raided.

However, there are always a few blind people in any era, who have to unite against Zhao State, dream of becoming rich people like Guo Zong and Zhuo Su, and even contact Bai Yan, a merchant of Wei State, and Duanmu Ying, a merchant of Qi State.

Then on the same day, it was sold to Zhao Mu by Bai Yan and Duanmu Ying, and Zhao Mu reported it to Zhao Kuo, and the next day, Li Si took someone over to raid the house.

Then the salt and iron monopoly in Zhao State did not have any obstacles, to be precise, the salt and iron coal franchise.

Nowadays, coal has become the third largest industry in Zhao after iron smelting and salt, and this is because it is summer, and if it is winter, the output value may even exceed that of iron smelting and salt.

The merchants of Zhao State relied on Zhao State to sell coal, ironware, and salt to the Central Plains countries in a steady stream, and Zhao's iron tools were more durable, salt was whiter, and coal was cheaper, and they won the favor of the people of all countries.

This group of businessmen not only did not lose money, but made more money than before, achieving win-win cooperation.

Of course, some people make money, and some people lose money.

The life of merchants from other countries was not so easy, especially those of Han and Wei, because of the abolition of tariffs between the three countries, the goods of Zhao poured into the markets of the two countries like a torrent.

Under the leadership of Zhao Mu, all the businessmen united with the Zhao Chamber of Commerce as the core, using coal, iron, and salt as weapons, and shopping malls as battlefields, dumping at low prices, and quickly occupying the markets of the two countries.

At the same time, Zhao Mu took the opportunity to acquire a large number of industries and became the youngest richest man in the world, comparable to Guo Zong, Zhuo Su, Bai Yan of Wei State, and Duanmu of Qi State, and no one dared to treat him as a puppet anymore.

As long as Zhao Mu gives an order, the price of coal in the whole country of Wei will rise the next day.

Due to the limitation of vision, no one in the Wei Kingdom found such a huge hidden danger, even if someone faintly felt that something was wrong, no one reminded the King of Wei.

The Three Jin Dynasty was in the honeymoon period, and Zhao was helping Wei and Korea train cavalry, and no one dared to provoke a gap between the Three Kingdoms.

What's more, Zhao also provided Quyuan plough and waterwheel for the two countries, and now corn and rice have begun to be grained, and it is conservatively estimated that the yield per mu of farmland using Quyuan plough and waterwheel can be increased by at least two to three percent.

This is the yield per acre, and the total yield is even more, because in the same time, the Quyuan plough can cultivate more land, and a family of five can cultivate 100 acres of land, but now it can plant 200 or even 300 acres.

It's a pity that Wei doesn't have a lot of wasteland like Zhao, and even if all the corners and corners are developed, the increase in arable land will not exceed fifty percent.

As for South Korea, even less.

However, the kings of Wei and Han were already very satisfied, and as far as they knew, the state of Zhao only handed over the quyuan plough and the waterwheel to them, and did not give them to any other countries, and only helped them train cavalry.

This shows that King Zhao treats them as his own, and the two monarchs are even more grateful.

Moreover, Zhao is different from Qin, since Zhao Kuo ascended the throne, he has not shown any intention of attacking Wei, whether it is Ye County in the north or Tao County in the east, they are very friendly with Wei.

"If only there was no war forever." King Wei sighed, but he knew it was impossible.
