The beauty-loving elf was a little dissatisfied with this dress, but the girl Lordelle thought it was very fresh, and she was bouncing around with a mirror after putting on makeup.

The group went into the town to find a hotel to replenish food and water, and Chen Daolin found a carriage and horse shop in the town, changed himself to a large carriage with carriages, and changed his horses to four healthy horses with excellent foot strength.

Although Laudel was very excited and wanted to take Barossa around the town, Chen Daolin sternly refused the girl's request.

However, there was a weapons shop in the town, and Chen Daolin dragged Chuck in and picked out a few things to arm his servant.

Chuck couldn't speak, so he dressed up as a mute, and chose a shield and a short knife, as well as a suit of leather armor.

Although the weapon shops in this small place sell some ordinary road goods, Chuck who came out of the orc kingdom with backward smelting technology is already very satisfied.

After being armed, Chuck was wearing leather armor, carrying a shield behind his back, a short knife stuck in his thigh, and a sword given to him by Chen Daolin hanging from his waist, and he immediately regained a kind of martial artist's heroic spirit.

Chen Daolin dared to leave the town with everyone before the magic of the transformation technique wore off, and continued to the east.

......

"It's clearly a nautical chart. ”

During the break, Chen Daolin took out the map and looked at it several times, one of which Luo Dai accidentally saw the map drawn by Chen Daolin, and Luo Daer, who had received a strict education since childhood, immediately recognized it.

"Are you sure?" Chen Daolin looked at the girl.

"There's something I can't be sure about. Luo Daer squinted her eyes, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Chen Daolin's questioning: "My Liszt family is engaged in the South Sea maritime trade, and I have seen hundreds of such charts since I was a child. This nautical chart of yours is the east coast, well, out of Port Dean, you see. The locations on these seas depicted above. This is Tsunashi Island. This is Pearl Island, and I heard that the waters near Pearl Island produce a very good pearl, and the quality is only slightly worse than that of pearls in the South Seas, so it is a little far from the mainland. However, many fishermen are willing to sail out to sea to dig for pearls, do you look here, this coordinate...... Well, let me think about it. This should be called Half Moon Island, I remember I read a family logbook, this is the only island near the Pearl Island with fresh water, so it is inhabited, and the nearby pearl fishermen will run to this island to replenish fresh water and rest. Well...... In the past, this place is very famous, it is called Solomon Reef, this sea area is very dangerous, a large reef area, and the trade routes of maritime trade are all bypassing this place......"

Watch as Rodelle points to her map and talks. Like a few family treasures, Chen Daolin couldn't help but be stunned.

Although he had also seen some maps of the Roland Continent. But I am not very good at nautical charts, and in this era of this world, most of the maritime trade is monopolized by some imperial giants and large chambers of commerce. Therefore, it is difficult to find a map of the sea area on the market.

Chen Daolin drew this map, he can only understand a little roughly, but he doesn't know where the coordinates on it are.

Unexpectedly, this little girl Luo Daer was actually an expert, which made Chen Daolin overjoyed. When I was resting, I took Rodelle to look at the map and listen to Lordelle explain the islands, archipelagos, reefs and other places on the map.

Although Luo Dai is young, her knowledge is really not bad, especially for the family's navigation business has been trained for many years, although she has never been to sea, but the knowledge on paper is memorized, and she told Chen Daolin one by one, so that Chen Daolin gradually had the bottom in his heart.

"Darling, your nautical map is so ugly that it looks like a layman's graffiti. Rodelle frowned and said, "Where did you get such a crude map? You can't have dreamed of making a fortune by going to sea for adventures, right?"

Saying that, Roddell sighed: "Nautical charts are very rare things in the empire, and the big families are treasured and refused to be seen, and most of the nautical charts circulating on the market are fake or mutilated versions with a lot of missing content, which are designed to deceive those who dream of going to sea to adventure and make a fortune." You're not going to be cheated too, are you?"

Chen Daolin laughed and put away the map: "Don't worry, this map will never be fake." ”

"So...... Are we going to sea?" Luo Daer looked at Chen Daolin and said curiously: "Do you want to go to sea according to this map? What do you want to do? Do you want to do maritime trade? But do you have the capital? To do maritime trade, you must first have the capital, sell a cargo ship, and hire a group of sailors." The trade profits of the East China Sea are much worse than those of the South Sea, and the valuable things in the East China Sea are nothing more than some seafood, I looked at your map, and the most valuable thing in this sea area is the pearls produced in the waters near the Pearl Island. Do you want to go to Pearl Island to buy raw pearls? However, although the price of buying raw pearls on Pearl Island is much cheaper than that in the mainland, you can't make money directly by buying the original pearls, and you need to have a processing workshop to process them before you can make the finished pearls.

Chen Daolin didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Is it very profitable to do this?"

“...... Generally. Luo Dale thought for a while and said: "The pearl industry in the East China Sea is much worse than that of the South Seas, and the finished products produced after the pearl processing are not as good as the pearls in the South Seas. However, the little nobles who could not afford to buy South Sea pearls were still willing to buy them back as decorations to support the façade. ”

After a pause, Luo Daer simply briefed Chen Daolin on the current situation of the empire's maritime trade in the East China Sea.

Originally, Chen Daolin was also very curious, in this world, there is an aquarium beyond the eastern coastline of the Roland Continent, and there is no overseas country, where does the maritime trade come from?

If you want to say that the South Seas are okay, there are still some natives of the South Seas in the Roland Continent, and those natives have established a United Kingdom of the South Seas, which is another human kingdom in this world in addition to the Roland Empire.

The civilization of the United Kingdom of Nanyang is much lower than that of the Roland Empire, but it can produce many specialties of the South Seas. Such as gold. Spices. Gemstones, pearls, and all sorts of strange South Sea plants and crops, among others.

It is said that a hundred years ago, the Roland Empire treated the United Kingdom of those indigenous races of the South Seas. It has always been a hostile attitude, and it will send a fleet to the South Seas to plunder at every turn, and an expedition every few years to sweep the South Seas. Leave with a full load every time.

The indigenous races of the South Seas are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of force and civilization, and they have no ability to resist in the face of the powerful Roland Empire, and can only endure raids once every few years.

But later, this excessive raiding of the Roland Empire brought about changes in the South Seas, and those indigenous races united to establish a United Kingdom of the South Seas on one of the largest islands in the South Seas, in order to counter this endless raiding and invasion of the Roland Empire.

And in the era of Duke Du Wei of Tulip, the empire changed this state policy, because Du Wei, the Duke of Tulip, calculated a result: the empire formed a powerful navy to plunder in the South Seas. Most of the receipts received were used to pay for the Navy's military expenses. There is little to be gained in this kind of business. And with the creation of the United Kingdom of the South Seas. The determination and resistance of the indigenous people of Nanyang are getting stronger and stronger.

Du Wei later made a decision to push the empire to change its attitude towards the United Kingdom of the South Seas, and sent a fleet to force the United Kingdom of South Seas to completely submit to the Roland Empire by means of military deterrence, and then the two sides signed a peace treaty, and the United Kingdom of the South Seas officially declared itself a vassal to the Roland Empire, with the Roland Empire as the suzerain, and signed a series of trade treaties favorable to the Roland Empire.

From then on, there was no war in the South Seas, and more and more merchant fleets on the Imperial seas were replaced by those fleets of the Imperial Navy.

The opening of the sea route in the South Seas and the maritime trade brought a huge amount of wealth to the empire!

It can even be said that in the years when the Roland Empire and the orc dwarves and elves in the north were at war, the empire's finances were extremely tight, and the huge war military expenditure almost crushed the Roland Empire, and the wealth brought by the maritime trade in the South Seas has always supported the finances of the Roland Empire, and finally the empire won the war, and a considerable part of the credit is also due to the continuous "blood transfusion" of the empire's finances by the South Seas trade.

Can...... This is the South Seas.

There is also an indigenous United Kingdom in the South Seas.

Can be ...... in the East China Sea There is no other country in the East China Sea, and trade by sea is very limited.

After a hundred years of development, the Roland Empire carried out large-scale surveys and voyages in the eastern seas of the mainland, and discovered hundreds of large and small islands in the eastern seas, most of which were useless islands without any resources or even fresh water. However, there are also some islands with an objective area and fresh water resources, which can provide human habitation conditions.

Moreover, the marine fishery resources in the East China Sea are very rich, and after a hundred years of development, many large islands in the eastern seas have successively migrated to those big islands in the sea by the Roland Empire.

The originally barren waters of the East China Sea gradually became the home of the human beings of the Roland Empire.

Just a few decades ago, the central government of the Roland Empire even made a formal executive order to officially establish the official government of the empire on the twenty-six islands in the East China Sea of the empire that had immigrants from the Roland Empire, and officially announced the establishment of a new province of the empire, called "Newhofen" Province, and appointed a governor, and officially assigned the twenty-six inhabited islands to the administrative territory of the Roland Empire.

Newhofen, in the Roland Chinese dialect, means "new hope."

As the newest province of the Roland Empire, the population of Newhoven Province is also the smallest among all the provinces of the Roland Empire, and it has only finally exceeded 300,000 in the first two years.

The figure of 300,000 people looks very pitiful, because in the Roland Empire, there are already large cities with a population of hundreds of thousands, and for the civilization of the Roland Empire, the appearance of cities with a population of hundreds of thousands is already extremely impressive.

"At present, maritime trade in the eastern seas is mainly carried out by the province of Newhoven. ”

Although the province of Newhoven is the territory of the Roland Empire itself, all the territory of this province is at sea, far away from the mainland, and the farthest place is even nearly half a month's sailing time from the mainland.

The geographical location away from the mainland makes this place very special.

On the one hand, most of the islands under the jurisdiction of the province of Newhofen are rich in marine resources, with developed fisheries, developed seafood, pearl industry, and some islands even found precious spices and gem minerals. But the empire immigrated 500,000 people scattered on this island, and the exploitation of marine resources made great profits, but the 500,000 people living at sea were a special kind of existence.

Although twenty-six inhabitable islands have been developed, these islands tend to be large, have fresh water resources, and have some land suitable for farming. Basic drinking water and food are subsistence and the abundant fishing industry can be fed up by the island-dwellers.

But beyond that, there's a lot more to it than that.

Food, clothing, housing, all kinds of daily necessities, etc...... With a population of 500,000, a small human society on the sea has almost been formed, and all kinds of materials need to be supplied from the mainland.

In this way, maritime trade in the East China Sea was born.

Nowadays, many chambers of commerce on the mainland will use merchant ships and cargo ships to carry a large number of daily necessities from the mainland to the province of Newhoven, and then sell those daily necessities to the people living on the islands, and at the same time purchase the rich resources produced by the sea, such as precious stones, fisheries, spices, pearls, etc......

These things are purchased at sea origin, and the price is naturally much lower than that in the interior.

As a result, the eastern maritime trade gradually formed a climate.

Even now, there are already some powerful large chambers of commerce and business groups, directly going to the big islands of the maritime province of Newhoven, developing land and building workshops on the nearby islands that produce materials and minerals, and directly building workshops for processing the pearl pearls and gem ores collected locally!

In this way, the cost is greatly reduced, and then it is transported back to the Roland continent, and after being sold, the benefits are even more lucrative.

Luo Dai introduced so much, which opened Chen Daolin's eyes.

Then the girl continued: "That nautical map of yours is the sea near the Pearl Island, which was very barren a few decades ago, but now it has a large population. The nearby Half Moon Island is blessed with fresh water resources, and a small human city has been built on it, with a population of thousands, and a port that can accommodate merchant ships to moor, and there are fishing boats, pearl fishing boats, and merchant ships mooring in and out of it all year round, which is already very prosperous. ”

Pearl Island, Half Moon Island......

Chen Daolin thought for a while, these two locations are the closest places to the final destination on the treasure map!. (to be continued)
