Old!

The idea of the equation, Lao Pu felt that he couldn't catch up more and more.

Whether the Ming Dynasty will put forward the demand for grain exchange, no one can say for the time being, it is not a business to catch up, and the Ming people will not inform the Wu Dynasty if they do not mention it.

But if you mention it, follow this set.

The benefits of the Wu Dynasty are far more than those of the Ming Dynasty, the inland river transport ships are small, compared to the volume of sea ships, it is really ants moving, the same distance down the river, upstream, the experience and time paid are completely unequal.

Transshipment through the Grand Canal and moving Qingzhou grain into the warehouse, the results of a year's worth of inland river fleets can be replaced by sea vessels in three or four months at most.

This situation could not be solved by the Wu Dynasty, and the same was true of the Ming Dynasty.

If it can be solved, the Ming Dynasty sea ships passed all the way to Yangzhou, even if it was against a section of the canal, would there still be a chance for chaos between the two Huai?

Tossing this hand, cumbersome is just a procedure, saving is time.

"According to the way of thinking, everyone can make money, and now it depends on whether the Ming people can think of it, if it is mentioned, then what do we mention?"

When one party monopolizes the benefits and does not know how to pay, the relationship will not last long.

When countries form alliances, obligations and rights and responsibilities often need to be reciprocal at all times, lest after the alliance is broken, the allies will have nothing to do and say, and they will become mortal enemies.

Wu Chao didn't want to rely on others, let alone be dragged by others.

"Boat!"

"Especially the craft!"

"Don't seek the most advanced treasure ship technology, at least the keel splicing process must be learned!"

The keel, the heart of a big ship.

In the early days of Kyushu shipbuilding, the keel was mostly based on natural giant wood, and the size of the ship was naturally locked by wood.

If you want to build a big ship, you must learn keel splicing.

The Ming Dynasty opened the sea for more than 160 years, the treasure ship was renewed for three generations, and now the largest treasure ship was built during the Hongzhi period, it took eight years before and after, and Zhengde was launched in three years, named Hongzhi, the captain was 380 steps, the width of the ship was 66 steps, and it was about to catch up with the specifications of the dreadnought before the early days of the last war.

The technology of keel splicing in the Ming Dynasty, if it can be learned by the Wu Dynasty, the equation will point out the direction of the V-shaped cabin technology, and the overall tonnage in a short period of time can not catch up with the accumulation of hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty, but based on the advantages of speed and stable ocean navigation, the Wu Dynasty can play a differentiated card, not to mention tearing a mouthful of fat from the mouth of the Ming Dynasty, but also following the Ming Dynasty to drink a mouthful of soup.

"Shipbuilding is the overall technology, and the Ming people are too far ahead of us in shipbuilding and construction, and a keel is not enough!"

"I can't see it, you know very little about shipbuilding!"

"The bulk of the expenditure of the Inner Government over the years is shipbuilding, building big ships, and building grain ships!" Lao Pu said directly without nonsense, "The strength of the people is not enough, the financial resources of the household department are insufficient, the boats that have been built today are either small, or the years are too long, and the pressure is in the inner house, you must know that a ship is not only a craft and shipyard, but also involves upstream and downstream, the conditions of my dynasty are good, there is no shortage of hundred-year-old giant trees in the mountains, but there is a lack of river flow, and if you want to bring out a hundred-year-old giant tree as a whole, it often takes hundreds of people, and it takes months or even half a year!" ”

In the era of manpower, there are too many constraints.

The Wu Dynasty did not lack timber for shipbuilding, but lacked the means to move timber out of the mountains.

"The key at the moment is the Jiaolai Canal, as soon as this canal is opened, we can buy a large amount of rice from the Ming Dynasty!"

In the previous life, the heaviest dependence of world trade was always on sea transportation, and river and land transportation were just derivative supplements to sea transportation.

Nowadays it is even more so, how big a river boat can make, and the process is a little related, the greater relationship is the route, the Yellow River, the mother river can be restless, thousands of years of scouring down, the riverbed is getting higher and higher, and it is not far from the land hanging river in later generations, and it is difficult to find out the distribution of reefs at the bottom of the river, and the larger river boat will hit the bottom if you are not careful.

The Grand Canal is a little better, there is the Sui and Tang dynasties digging data as a basis, there is the Wu Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the two countries continue to maintain, and there are manpower on both sides of the river, which ensures the navigation of large river boats.

If you want to think about the Yangtze River and a section of the Zhenjiang River, the navy of the Ming Dynasty will not dare to cross it.

"That's true, the river is open, even if the Ming Dynasty regrets it, we can go south by ourselves, at most it will take some time!"

The Bohai Sea, the junction zone with the East China Sea, the sea conditions are the most unpredictable, with the Jiaolai Canal, the Wu Dynasty can be avoided, all the way along the coastline of Xuzhou and Yangzhou to the south and finally arrive at Jiaozhou, which produces three crops of rice per year.

Jiaozhou is very large, the scope far exceeds the Central Plains countries, the Ming Dynasty, the Chu Dynasty in Jiaozhou is not so much a rule, but a colonization, and Jiaozhou natives in a group of fights, there is no effective management system at all, the north, the east is not moving, the south, the west still has a large piece of land.

For Jiaozhou, Wu Chao didn't want to, but he couldn't do it, and he didn't have the ability to do it.

If you have the opportunity to take a bite, no one will refuse!

"I didn't expect you to think so far, this is indeed a way, Jiaozhou is too big, in the short term, even if it is two families to eat, three families to eat is enough!"

Jiaozhou, one of the nine states, only the northwest, the northeast, and Shuzhou, and Yangzhou, and Yangzhou have a relatively clear geographical division, and the other six directions are just a concept, as long as the land area dependent on the South China Sea can be counted into the scope of Jiaozhou.

No matter how big an area is, it will take hundreds of years for Kyushu to work together to eat, and the two dynasties of Guangming and Chu have cultivated for more than a hundred years, which also accounts for a shallow layer.

Lao Pu's eyes looked at the equation again, and said with a smile, "Jiaozhou is too far away, the key is now, your guess will be checked afterwards to see who is behind the scenes, but there is a high probability that it is still the Song people, after all, the Song people are not without contradictions, maybe some people want to use this to accomplish certain purposes, after all, if the matter of Hexi is completed, the impact on the Song Dynasty itself is also huge!" ”

Where there is interest, there is fighting.

There are too many people and things involved in the important land in Hexi.

I didn't want the Song people to get more countries in Hexi, and the Song Dynasty didn't want the people in power to occupy such achievements.

The family and the country, the family and the country, the family in the front and the country in the back, it is impossible for everyone to give in and righteousness.

Although the Song Dynasty is rich, but the internal fight is also ruthless, the family presses the warlords, the warlords press the Shi clan, the Shi clan fights the family, specific to the family, the warlords, there are factions within the Shi clan, the last few decades, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty rotated like a marquee, the prime minister of March, and the Zai Fu of the seven days have appeared.

The guess of the equation is at most to solve the suspicion of the faction in power in the Song Dynasty, and the suspicion of the opposition forces not only did not decrease, but gradually increased.

Looking for it, it must come out, after all, no one wants a poisonous snake to sleep next to them.

The taste was so uncomfortable that it couldn't kill the other party, and it had to make people clear.

"It's really hard to say, it's naturally the best to be able to jump out, but it is estimated that even if we don't check, the Song people will exert their strength, and some black pots are not so easy to carry!" The equation echoed.
