Yecheng, the palace of the king of Wei.

Cao Cao was inspecting the autumn harvest of the migrants in Liaodong County and Lelang County in Youzhou.

According to the reports of Liaodong Taishou and Lelang Taishou, the grain harvest in the two counties was bumper this year, and the land of Goguryeo was very suitable for cultivation.

"It seems that Liaodong County and Lelang County can completely digest the land of Goguryeo this year, and next year they can prepare to send troops to Xianbei, so that Youzhou and Bingzhou can incorporate Xianbei into the territory of Great Wei!"

Cao Cao thought about the next plan to subdue Xianbei, and at the same time, he also received a report from Hanzhong County on the establishment of Hanzhong Medical College.

"This Hanzhong Medical College, after the development of the Great Wei School, the population of the Great Wei can further grow, it seems that in a few years, the people should be migrated to the southern states."

At present, the population of the Great Wei is close to 20 million, most of which are concentrated in Jizhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou in the north, and Yangzhou, Jizhou, Jiaozhou and Guangzhou in the south are still relatively sparsely populated.

Lin Chuan's vigorous construction of the Hanzhong branch and production base in Yangzhou was also a preparation for the future population growth of the Great Wei.

"Lord Wei, a letter from the Marquis of Hanzhong!"

At this time, a palace guard came to Cao Cao and handed the letter to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao took the letter, he thought to himself that Lin Chuan had some new invention.

"Treasure Ship, a large seafaring ship!"

After reading Lin Chuan's letter, Cao Cao was surprised by Lin Chuan's new shipbuilding technology this time.

According to Lin Chuan's letter, this treasure ship could sail far in the sea, and its sturdy hull and large carrying capacity made it suitable for not only trading but also transporting soldiers.

Cao Cao was immediately moved when he saw the point of transporting soldiers.

Before the construction of the cement straight road, the water transportation of Dawei was more cost-effective and efficient than the land transportation, and now the transportation of bulk commodities and production raw materials of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce still uses water transportation.

There is also the key transportation of soldiers, if the Great Wei now has a treasure ship that can transport more than 1,000 soldiers at a time, coupled with the cement straight roads all over the Great Wei, it can be said that the Great Wei has the ability to project the troops in units of 10,000 to all the states and counties except the Northwest Plateau within five days.

In this way, if there are some places where the Taishou swells up and wants to make food, it may be that as soon as the army is announced here, the counterinsurgency army of the Great Wei over there will be overwhelmingly killed.

"This treasure ship must be built!"

Cao Cao immediately decided to use the power of the Great Wei to build the treasure ship.

Then Cao Cao called the captain of the Great Wei who was in charge of shipbuilding to the palace of the Wei king.

The position of captain was originally set up by Eastern Wu to be responsible for the maintenance and manufacture of warships, and after Cao Cao conquered the territory of Eastern Wu, he also retained the position of captain of the ship and the shipyard in Wu County, Yangzhou.

After receiving Cao Cao's summons, the captain of the ship immediately set off for Yecheng.

On the way to Yecheng, the captain of the ship was still thinking about why the Lord of Wei suddenly summoned him, his last highlight moment, but in the Battle of Chibi that year, Cao Wei's sailor suffered heavy losses in the face of the Eastern Wu naval army.

In addition to the daily maintenance of the few warships of the Great Wei Dynasty, the current captain is mainly engaged in the manufacture and maintenance of cargo ships, which is also because of the rapid development of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, which requires more ships to transport goods and raw materials.

After thinking about it all the way, he didn't understand what he had gone wrong, and finally came to the palace of King Wei in Yecheng.

"The last general, Yang Fan, meets Lord Wei Wang!"

After Yang Fan, the captain of the ship, came to the palace of King Wei, he saluted Cao Cao with trepidation and said.

"Hahaha, Captain Yang came quickly, so good!"

Cao Cao saw that it only took three days for the captain of the ship to come to Yecheng from Yangzhou, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied with his efficiency.

Captain Yang looked at Cao Cao with a smile on his face, knowing that he should not be disposed of this time, maybe there would be good things to hand over to him.

"Captain Yang, take a look at this drawing, can the shipyard in Wu County build this kind of treasure ship?"

Cao Cao handed the blueprint of the treasure ship to Captain Yang and asked him at the same time.

After Captain Yang took the drawings, he looked at them seriously, and the more he looked at them, the more surprised he became.

"Back to Lord Wei, the shipyard of Wu County, the treasure ship in this picture, really can't be manufactured, and it is the first time that the last general has seen such a huge sea ship.

However, according to the experience of the last general, the design of this treasure ship is not only exquisite, but also the ordinary sea wind and waves do not have much impact on this large sea ship. ”

After putting down the drawings, Captain Yang said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and then said to Captain Yang: "Yes, the manufacturing drawings of the treasure ship were sent to this king by Mr. Hou Lin of Hanzhong, and it is naturally more advanced than all the current ships.

You have collected the drawings of this treasure ship, and after returning to Wu County, you will immediately start to study the construction of the treasure ship. ”

"The last general obeys!"

After Captain Yang put away the treasure ship manufacturing drawings close to him, he replied to Cao Cao.

Later, Cao Cao told Captain Yang again, and asked him to return to Wu County to start the research and construction of treasure ships.

At the same time, Lin Chuan, who handed over the construction of the treasure ship to Cao Cao, was inspecting the autumn harvest in Hanzhong County this year with Deng Ai and Jiang Wei.

Nowadays, all the land that can be cultivated in Hanzhong County has been reclaimed by the people.

In addition to growing food crops such as wheat, maize, potatoes and sweet potatoes, cotton cultivation is also gradually increasing.

At present, the cotton cloth produced by the water-powered textile factory can be bought for only 30 copper plates, and the price of cotton clothes and quilts has also dropped to 300 copper plates.

Lin Chuan is now watching the people picking cotton in the cotton field, and at the same time he is also talking to Deng Ai and Jiang Wei: "The living standards of the people in Hanzhong County have been steadily improving, and when the King of Wei manufactures the treasure ship, the price of raw materials in the production base can continue to decrease, and at that time, the people of the entire Great Wei can enjoy high-quality and inexpensive clothes, and various products of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce." ”

After inspecting the autumn harvest, Lin Chuan returned to the Hou Mansion and finally received a reply from Cao Cao.

"The treasure ship drawings have been handed over to Captain Yang of Wu County, Yangzhou, and Cao Cao is also very excited about the treasure ship, hahaha!"

After reading Cao Cao's reply, Lin Chuan laughed happily in the study.

The plan to start the revitalization of the Silk Road on the Great Wei Sea is being carried out step by step.

When a large number of production raw materials are shipped to Dawei from all over the world, Dawei will soon become a world trade center with the strong productivity of the production base and the strong sales channels of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce!

"It seems that Hanzhong Vocational Training School is going to start preparing to teach foreign languages and cultivate a group of talents who can conduct international trade."

Lin Chuan has now thought of cultivating foreign language talents, and when the construction of the treasure ship is completed, he can directly start following the previous one. The Silk Road on the Sea began the world trade journey of the Great Wei.

It's just that Lin Chuan didn't expect that with the continuous expansion of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce and the construction of production bases all over the Great Wei, there were already many alien races who were red-eyed.
