There was no such ability in that period, and there would never be such a large fleet, because the oceans on Earth are not as big as here.

Compared with the navy of the Eastern Empire, the navy of the Northern Empire has some serious shortcomings. This is also directly related to the terrain of the Northern Empire. Although they have a large sea area, they are basically not very big here.

It is relatively cold, and there is an icy forest to the north, which is full of dangers, so most of the army is from the army. Why do you want the navy to do it? We don’t have any rights at sea, but Cao Cao

After the rise of the merchant houses, they have finally seen the importance of the navy, but there are not many people in their country who can swim. In such a situation, if they want to form a navy, it will not be easy.

It is for this reason that the Northern Empire's navy can be said to be developing extremely slowly. In the past two years, the Northern Empire has only increased its investment in the navy. As of now, the Northern Empire only has one fleet. The number of their ships

That is to say, there are less than 500,000 ships, only one-tenth of the Eastern Empire. If they really have a naval battle with the Eastern Empire, they really don’t have much chance of winning, because in terms of numbers,

It seems that they are really far apart. Of course, it also depends on where the fight starts. If it is on the territory of the Northern Empire, the Eastern Empire is basically of no benefit. The distance is too far. The Cao Family Trading Company

It is very difficult for people to fight such a war, let alone the people of the Eastern Empire. They don’t even have airship transportation. They can’t support such a big war. They can only

They just need to send some expeditionary troops one after another. The people from the Cao Family Trading Company have made the calculation for them. In the end, both sides will regret this matter.

Seven hours later, the war was basically over. Because a group of Eastern Empire warships had left, they were no match for the remaining Northern Empire warships. 32 of them were captured and 80 were sunk.

About 50 ships escaped and returned, and the Northern Empire also counted more than 70 ships. In any case, Lihu will be regarded as belonging to the Northern Empire in the future. The Eastern Empire has hoarded a lot of war materials on it. What does it count now?

All are gone. The people of the Northern Empire have achieved a great victory. But after the war, there is another problem. The navy people have not found the few people the Governor is looking for, but now the Governor no longer needs this.

It's over, he doesn't need the money anymore, because he has won a big victory now. Although he didn't do this, it has a lot to do with him. Such things can also be said to be done by himself, the high-level officials of the Northern Empire.

No one thought that their navy would defeat the Eastern Empire's navy. If the Northern Empire and the Eastern Empire had contact on the ground, they would probably immediately drag the governor to take the blame. They are no match for the Eastern Empire.

Back then, the three major empires plus the Cao Family Trading Company were able to stop the people of the Eastern Empire. Now they have to rely on their own abilities? Don’t be kidding, such a thing is absolutely impossible, but now there is no territory.

Yes, a war at sea? It doesn't matter, it will take several months to get from us to the Eastern Empire. What do you think you can do to us in these few months? We will not be afraid of you, either.

It was because of things like this that the senior officials began to praise this guy. He knew that he would definitely be promoted. However, another problem was that people in the Northern Empire began to pay attention to the navy.

The battle report was also quickly sent to the Eastern Empire. In the past, the Eastern Empire belonged to the boss, and the Northern Empire could be said to be the most useless. I really didn’t expect that now it would ride on the boss’s head. This is

I've turned against you. They knew that the Cao Family Trading Company had its own investigations into the armies of the major empires. They immediately sent people to contact the people from the Cao Family Trading Company, hoping to get some specific information about the Northern Empire Navy.

News, the Cao Family Firm has done this kind of news buying and selling many times, but basically they are all deals that are beneficial to themselves. This will help them get some news, and also allow them to make a lot of profits, like this

Things must be done. The people in the Eastern Empire are still very rational. They don't shout to go out and do anything to them. They don't talk about destroying the Northern Empire. This is why Li Cong admires the Eastern Empire.

Where these people are, these guys will not act recklessly even if they have suffered huge losses. Such people make Li Cong feel that it is good to cooperate with them, but now they should meet their requirements. Li Cong directly asks people to

After giving them the news, no one from the Eastern Empire made any next move. This made the people of the Cao Family Trading Company feel a little strange. In recent times, the Eastern Empire merchants in the Northern Empire have been robbed and killed.

Yes, they have raised this issue with the people of the Northern Empire several times, but the local official power of the Northern Empire is not very strong at all. It is still a bit difficult to ask them to do this, so the only option is

I endured it, but I didn't expect that such a large-scale conflict would actually occur. This was something that no one on both sides expected. It seemed that neither of them could restrain themselves.

Li Cong didn't say anything after knowing that the Eastern Empire had not taken any action. The people of the Eastern Empire were not fools. He had already received the news. The navy of the Eastern Empire wanted to have a fight with the Northern Empire, because they knew that they would definitely

It is a victory, but the Minister of Household Affairs of the Eastern Empire has said that if you go to fight on other people's territory, the possibility of victory is very slim. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that the war of the Cao family business in the Western Empire is

Okay, the transportation capacity of Cao's Trading Company is many times stronger than ours, but what can we do in the end? Did we get anything? Nothing. In the end, the people of Cao's Trading Company just left.

Although it brought a big shock to the Western Empire, it didn't achieve much. No one would be happy with such a thing. We can't learn from them, and the people in the Cao Family Trading Company didn't expect them to do it.

Some of the things you have done have also been regarded as negative examples. Li Cong is too lazy to take care of it now. Anyway, as long as he is your enemy, it will be fine. What Li Cong has to do now is the traffic planning issue in the occupied area.

, Li Cong looked around from inside to outside after this period of time. There are already 135 provinces in his occupied area, but the traffic problems within these more than 100 provinces are really bad. This is already

It has affected many things, so building the road is now something that Li Cong must do. It is something that the entire Cao family business must do. Now let’s see how this road should be built, from the earth to the

It is obviously not very realistic to make cement here, but would it be too shocking to make cement from here? However, after thinking about it for a while, Li Cong decided to produce it locally.

Because the entire plan requires too much cement, if it is all transported and produced on the earth, it may empty the mountains on the earth. After all, the area of ​​​​this planet is much larger than that of the earth.

Times, the roads built here are also many times those on Earth. What we need to do now is to build a cement factory here. There is not much technology for things like cement. Li Cong first asked the Earth side to transport it through the teleportation array.

When a cement production equipment arrives, the next batch is 3,000 people from Earth. One hundred of them are cement workers. Basically, the people sent here from Earth are from various industries.

Elites. It can be said that very few ordinary workers like this are sent here. They are also very willing to come here to have a look. The only thing is that once you get here, it is more difficult to go back because

The technical reason has not been solved yet, but it can only transport some dead things back. Basically, the living people have never gone back, but these people seem to like this place very much, and there is no such thing as using cement to pave the road.

No matter how high the technical content, there are just more people needed. Now Li Cong is mainly building roads in the hundreds of provinces located in the southern part of the Southern Empire. The most important one is the roads along the borders.

If a war really breaks out, they can be connected quickly. This road is 40,000 kilometers long, which is definitely a fatal number. According to Li Cong's requirements, the roads are pruned to 15

Meter wide, in fact, this cannot be considered very wide. War preparation roads should be like this. Construction should start about 50 kilometers away from the border. It is best if the original reason can be connected in series.

The problem of materials can basically be solved within a month. The other thing that needs to be solved is the human problem. The Yue people have already gathered together. They are the main force in building roads. None of these guys are there.

I thought that someone would pay them wages. Logically speaking, they were all slaves. There was no need to pay wages at all. As long as they were allowed to eat and not starve to death, Li Cong was not that kind of person.

He has done a good job in matters such as people's hearts. Li Cong has already asked them to start the first phase of work. Although there is no cement yet, he can still let them smooth the road. In addition to the 20 million yuan

In addition to the clan members, Li Cong also found a lot of local workers, and these people were sent to the cement factory to do work. Although everything there would surprise them, the most important thing was that they were not allowed to see it.

Well, after seeing the cement, some insiders of the Cao Family Trading Company even wanted to build a city wall in the border area. Isn't this just another Chang City? They would definitely not agree to such a thing immediately. If a city wall was built,

Such a thing will seal your heart. As long as there is no such thing, it can be said that your own army will be strong. Rather than spending so much money to prune such a thing, it is better to

To build a strong army, building roads is not a small matter. Li Cong gave Gu Xinlai full responsibility. It can be said that the money invested is also huge. It is estimated that it will take 30 million people three years to build a strong army.

These 40,000 kilometers of roads have been built. They are very clear about this kind of thing, and it does not happen overnight.

This project also requires a huge investment. For now, these 30 million workers earn one hundred cents a day, and they have to take care of three meals. It is impossible for Li Cong to give them the same as in the army.

The remuneration is just to give them enough food. In this way, it is 20 cents a day. One worker per day is 120 cents, and 3.6 taels of silver a month. All of this is more than 100 million taels of silver. Three

The construction period of 10 years is definitely not a small amount. For things like cement, just find a mountain to mine. Li Cong roughly estimated that hundreds of millions of tons of cement would be needed for a 40,000km road. In some places, there is no need for it at all.

It is easy to get water, but this thing is not easy to get. Besides, each of these workers has just started to come into contact with such things. It is inevitable that there will be some problems. That is, because of these problems, these guys may appear in the end.

There are many problems that may still need to be reworked. Such things may also happen. These people understand this matter very well. They all know it very well. There is nothing these people can do. They are all slaves.

In the past, they knew almost nothing and could only let them learn little by little. However, Li Cong still had plans. Road construction could not be completed in one day. The cement factory chose about ten locations.

In the future, civilian cement can also continue to be produced, but at that time those people didn’t know if they could do it well. Each of the Yue people was very grateful to Li Cong, and Li Cong also had his own

The idea is that if the Yue people mix well here, more Yue people will come here in the future. By then, this will be the home of the Yue people. They will like this place very much and will buy from outside in the future.

As for some Yue people, they will not have such a big resistance. Of course, they cannot be kept as slaves. Li Cong also said that after ten years of service, they can become a free person. This is

This is something that has not happened on the entire continent. Each of these people are very happy. They did not expect that such a thing would happen. No slave can stop being a slave after being a slave for a while. This is the first time that I have encountered this here.
