Li Yanran also sneered, there is still some room for development on the side of the Japanese country.

The Japanese people are obedient internally, fierce externally, and most importantly, there are rich gold and silver deposits there, which can be said to be a rich land.

Although they are still barbarians now, as long as they can pass through the sea lanes, they can control the commerce of the Wa Kingdom.

Then they can exchange a large number of workshop goods for their gold and silver.

Moreover, it can completely destroy those workshops of the Wa Kingdom with the productivity of the Tang Dynasty, so that their national strength will also be greatly weakened.

She didn't want to give up such a lucrative business.

So this passage is really too important, and she absolutely has to control it in her arms.

"This"

Pei Xinqi was a little puzzled, although it was said that man would win the sky, but how could this vast sea be fought against by manpower.

How big can you build a ship?

If there is a storm on this sea, even the largest ship will be killed in the belly of the fish.

And just because of an idea, it costs a lot of money to develop sea ships, isn't it a bit too child's play?

"Pei Xinqi, since His Highness is so ambitious, we naturally have to do our best to assist as subordinates."

Di Renjie knew Li Yanran's ambitions, after all, the Wa Kingdom was very likely to be the enemy of Datang, and no matter how much he invested now, it would be worth it for Datang.

"Commander Di, this"

Seeing that Di Renjie was so good, Pei Xinqi was also a little stunned.

Looking at the other party's conversation, it's not such a person, why are you so impulsive now.

"Don't worry, Your Highness has never made a loss-making deal for so long.

Since she was so sure, this matter must be very promising.

We just have to do what we can and do what we have to do. ”

Di Renjie naturally couldn't explain those big things to Pei Xinqi, but as long as Pei Xinqi knew what he should do.

"Since that's the case, then Pei Xinqi understands!"

All this has been said for this, and Pei Xinqi has nothing to say.

Although he feels unreliable about this matter, who calls the other party his master.

She doesn't feel distressed about spending money, so what can she do?

Isn't it just the development of sea vessels?

Anyway, there are people in the shipyard, so let's do it together.

"Well, also, when you arrange a merchant ship, be sure to bring more lemons and citrus on board."

Now that the tone has been set, the next step is to do things with professional people, and she also said the experience she has gained from later generations.

The dangers of shipping are not just those things like wind and waves, there is also a very important place.

Scurvy.

Although it may only take a month or two to set off from Datang to the Wa Kingdom, these things still need to be prevented.

After all, she doesn't want her people to go out healthy and healthy, and when they come back, they will become sick seedlings.

"Your Highness, this sea ship is trying to reduce the space as much as possible in order to carry the cargo, and I hope to decorate more cargo, so you can load lemons and citrus on the ship?

Besides, I don't really know what these are. ”

Pei Xinqi is really a little depressed at this time, doesn't this Highness know that every inch of land on the sea ship is expensive?

And what she said, don't say it herself, even if you haven't even heard it.

"Just do as I say, and I can't tell what these citrus and lemons are.

Citrus is red, the size of a fist, and the flesh is sweet and sour.

The peel of the lemon is yellow and super sour. ”

Li Yanran is stupid, I can't tell you that this thing is to prevent scurvy.

And she really hasn't heard of scurvy in the history of China, could it be said that Huaxia has long had a way to prevent it?

"This"

The two glanced at each other, and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

I really don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this Li Yanran gourd.

"Okay, the other thing is that you recruit more bachelors to go to sea with the ship, and let them draw me a nautical chart when the time comes!"

Li Yanran was unsettled and rose again and again, and said the idea of drawing a sea chart.

In her impression, the nautical charts of China seem to have started from the Tang Dynasty, but she doesn't know if there are any now.

In line with the principle of being prepared, Li Yanran still put forward this request.

"Recruiting bachelors to go to sea? Isn't that a bit too much, it's going to die, and what are the charts? ”

Pei Xinqi was really more confused now, more confused than those lemons or citrus.

The bachelor went to sea, and he hadn't heard of it anyway.

After all, life at sea is boring and the waves are bumpy, and those seafarers who often go to sea are a little unbearable, let alone bachelors.

They are pampered, and they can't stand taking a boat on an inland river, let alone going to sea by boat.

When the time comes, these people will get out alive and probably come back lying down.

He couldn't afford it.

"Nautical charts are nautical charts, which are the same as Kanyu maps.

It's just that this map depicts mountains, rivers, and passes, and sea charts depict the sea, ocean currents, islands, and the like.

As for you saying that people will die, as for it? ”

It seems that this Datang really doesn't have a chart, so she also explained the meaning of the chart.

"I see, Your Highness is really a bold person, but this bachelor will really die when he gets on the ship.

After all, the wind and waves at sea are too big, and the turbulence is not comparable to the inland river, and many people just vomit and vomit, and the people are gone. ”

Pei Xinqi shook his head, he really couldn't explain this thing.

Thinking that he was stupid and wanted to go to sea to experience it, but he was stupid after just half an hour at sea.

The stomach was called a river and sea, and he vomited and vomited and almost committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

Fortunately, the boatman was his friend, and he sent him back by trying not to go to sea to make money.

Otherwise, the grass on his grave would have grown into a green grassland.

"Is it really that powerful?"

Hearing Pei Xinqi's explanation, Li Yanran was also stunned for a moment.

It wasn't like she hadn't been on a boat before, and although she hadn't made a long trip, she had walked for two hours.

She also suffered from motion sickness, and she just vomited a few times at the time.

Although the stability and safety of the ships of later generations are much higher than those of the current wooden ships, this can't be a dead person!

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can try it for yourself when the time comes, and you will know then."

Pei Xinqi nodded, this thing may be a bit alarmist when it comes out, but practice brings true knowledge.

Only when you have experienced it yourself can you know the horror of seasickness.

Talking about dead people is really not a joke.

"Try your head, Your Highness is a daughter, how can you go to sea by boat!"

Di Renjie was taken aback by Pei Xinqi.

Do you have water in your head?

Can this be said too?

If there is a problem with this highness going to sea, who will be responsible.

Is it you or me?

None of us can afford it.

"It's Pei Xinqi who doesn't choose what to say, and I ask His Highness to forgive me!"

At this time, Pei Xinqi also reacted, look at his mouth, he really dared to jump out of any nonsense.

"Okay, do as I say, seasickness will kill people, so won't you find some scribes who don't get seasick?

Give me more money, I believe that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, this matter is very important, it must be taken seriously! ”

Li Yanran shook her head, forget it about going to sea by boat.

After all, she didn't want to experience the feeling of seasickness a second time.

She is not a masochist, she finds her own guilt, isn't that pure brain disease?

"I see."

Pei Xinqi was also depressed, since Li Yanran had to do this, then he could only be respectful and obey his fate.

Besides, if the nautical chart can really be drawn, it will greatly improve Datang's shipping industry.

It's just that this person is too difficult to choose, and you have to think carefully about where to find these professionals.

I can draw a map and go to sea, but I want my own life.

"Well, it's okay, you can go and prepare, and when the time comes, you can spend as much money as you can withdraw from the account office.

But there is one thing, if anyone dares to fill his own pocket, I will screw his head off and kick it as a ball. ”

Li Yanran waved her hand and directly motioned for them to prepare what they had explained.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

The two looked at each other again, then saluted and left.

"Commander Di, I don't have a clue what these citrus and lemons are.

Red, yellow, that's too general! ”

After going out, Pei Xinqi also asked Di Renjie for help.

For Li Yanran's thinking, he really can't accept it.

One would talk about fruits, and the other would take the scribe to the sea to draw charts, and he really couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

That's too out-of-the-box, isn't it?

"If it's general, it's a general one, just find all the fruits on the market that meet His Highness's requirements and send them to His Highness.

The most important thing for you now is the sea vessels and people, especially the bachelors who can draw, which is the hardest. ”

Di Renjie had already digested all of Li Yanran's words, otherwise he would not be worthy of the title of the smartest person in the fiefdom.

"What Commander Di said is very right, Pei Xinqi's ability is limited, and it is very different from you, please give me advice, what to do about this matter."

Regarding Li Yanran's needs, Pei Xinqi can only say that he has done his best.

"Since you asked, let me tell you what I think!

First of all, there is the problem of sea ships, the shipyard in Luoyang is still too small, if you want to meet the needs of His Royal Highness, you still have to start from the south.

Yangzhou, Xuanzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou are all places where the shipbuilding industry is developed, you might as well go there to recruit shipwrights, or directly place an order for them to produce suitable sea vessels.

As for the scribes, there are many people in the south who are good at water, even if they are scribes, they are also water-based, and there should be suitable candidates.

That's all I can say, whether you succeed or not depends on your creation. ”

Now that he has digested Li Yanran's meaning, Di Renjie naturally has a way to deal with it in his mind.

It's easy to say about boats, as long as you grit your teeth, it shouldn't be a problem to build them at any cost, but it's hard to say about people.

Whether it succeeds or not, it all depends on the creation of this Pei novelty.

"Thank you Commander Di for the point, Pei Xinqi is grateful!"
