Standing at the head of Daliang City, the Shaosiming-class sea boat was extremely majestic, but it was not like this. Although the main mast was full of sails, it was just a breeze at this time. What really made the sea boat move forward was the paddle on the small boat in front and the paddleboat on both sides of the sea boat. They were driving this boat with more than 100 tons.

"That's Daliang? It would be great if I could go out of the palace to have fun in the future." The delicate words were the voice of the princess Mi Pan. The autumn was clear and the sky was clear and the clouds were light. In addition to her, there were Xiong Jing, Mi Li, Mi Rou, Mi Qin, Mi Wen, Mi Qiong, Mi An, and Mi Zhang. The girls sat on the stern building, blowing the soft autumn wind, and looking at the scenery on both sides of the gulf, it was indeed much better than staying in the palace that had been around for more than ten years.

"I hope you can build a few sea boats." Mi Rou sat opposite her, her tone lightly. When she spoke like this, Xiong Jing, who was sitting in the chief, couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"This sea boat..." Mi Pan, who lived in the palace since she was born, had no idea about sea boats. She smiled and said, "I can't bring sea boats to Zhao State, right? Brother Wang, can I bring sea boats to Zhao State?"

"Cough cough." After brewing for many days, Xiong Jing had to speak out. He coughed a few times and laughed: "Of course I can bring it to Zhao State."

"But what's the use of bringing it to Zhao State?" Mi Pan said in confusion. She will marry Zhao State next year. "I want to marry you all, and I will live in Handan in the future. Is Handan by the sea?"

"Handan is not by the sea, but there are waterways in Handan that can reach the sea." Xiong Jing kept smiling. "Although our Chu State is better than Qin State, the Qin State has already achieved its destruction of the world. The destruction of the Kanto countries was only over ten years. If Zhao State annexed Yan State, it can temporarily retreat to the north of the Yishui Great Wall, Qi State..."

"Brother Wang, how about Qi State?" Xiong Jing paused for a moment, and Mi Wen was suddenly nervous. She was going to marry into Qi State.

"More than 40 years ago, the five countries attacked Qi, and Le Yi, that is, the great father of Wang, who was hoping that his mother would marry, even to capture the seventy cities of Qi, leaving only Jimo and Jucheng. The land of Qi was too narrow, and retreating eastward was the sea." Xiong Jing said. "So my brother thought that both mothers who were married far away should build more sea boats.

The sea boat is very expensive, one ton, that is, four thousand Chujin, and four thousand Chujin costs one gold and another seven thousand coins. Five hundred tons is eight hundred and fifty gold. A five hundred tons of sea boat can transport more than 380 tons of cargo at a time, which is one hundred and fifty thousand kilograms."

"So big?" Mi Wen and the others were surprised. Tons, the princesses had no idea. If they converted into kilograms, they had a concept.

"It's not big, it's still too small." Xiong Jing said. "If the Qin State had not destroyed the two countries of Zhao and Qi, the maids' sea boats could transport Yanzhao's horses, cattle and sheep, and other properties back to the mother country, or the mother country..."

"I know, I know." Mi Qin is the cutest. "This is called trafficking, and the people of Zheng often do it, so they are rich with the king."

"This..." Mi Qiong understood Xiong Jing's meaning, but she had her concerns. "Traders are the art of merchants, we wait, we wait..."

"Qiong's wife is not bad." Mi Rou's current role is to ask, "If you have a sea boat, you may not have to practice the art of merchants. You can hand it over to a dedicated person to pay a gift every year. Now Brother Wang wants to build a shipping, shipping..."

"Company." Seeing that Mi Rou couldn't remember the word, Mi Li gently reminded her.

"Yes, the company." Mi Rou laughed at herself. "This company is owned by Brother Wang and all the parents. How to traffic, make profits, and how to assign them are all managed by special people. The parents can wait at home to collect money."

"The company is to join the gang with sea boats and make money through trafficking. It can transport the rouge from Yan and Zhao into Chu State, or the gouache from Chu State into Yan and Zhao Qi and other countries." Xiong Jing said. "Do you remember the Hu merchant who came to Yingdu last time?"

In order to make it easier for the princesses to understand, Xiong Jing mentioned Hu Dansazhi. He bought all the gems brought by Hu Dansazhi at a low price, otherwise he would not have the money to buy goods back. A small number of the good-looking Yulin, Langya, were rewarded by him to these women.

Seeing that the princesses present nodded, he said again: "Langya, Lulin and other things are stones in the Queen Mother Kingdom. Most of them were picked up at the foot of the mountain. If they were transported to Yingdu, they would cost more than ten gold and dozens of gold. The people of Zheng were just trafficking between countries, so they could be rich with the king. If they were trafficking between the sea boats in various continents of the world, what would they be rich?

Furthermore," Xiong Jing saw all the wives nodding, and curled his smile and began to say another very serious question: "If Qin State wiped out all the countries, due to the violent Qin people, the nobles of the kings and nobles of various kings were either killed or moved away.

If it escapes, Qi has no way to escape. Zhao can escape to Yan. If Yan is also led by the Qin army, it can only escape to Donghu or to North Korea. The same is true for Chu. If Yingdu is led to retreat to Jiangdong. If Jiangdong is occupied by the Qin army, it can only retreat to Yue, and Buying will definitely fight with the Qin people.

However, war requires corn and food. There are still fertile fields in the Jicheng Basin of Yanguo. If the Jicheng Basin is lost, then there will be no fields in Zhao. Similar to the Chu State, there will be some fields in Jiangdong. If the Jiangdong is lost, then there will be no fields. If millions of soldiers and civilians want to fight with the Qin people again, most of them will starve to death..."

"Brother Wang, Qi State, how about Qi State?" Mi Wen was frightened. The Qin people had long been demonized in Chu State. She would rather subdue the sword than fall into the hands of the Qin people.

"There is only the sea to the east of Qi State, but if Wen Xi has a sea boat, you can take a sea boat to return to your mother country." Xiong Jing comforted. "After returning to your mother country, the sea boat can transport grain from overseas countries. Hu Shangyan said that there is a country name Tiandu south of Zhongzhou, and Dingkou has more than 20 million, so you can transport grain from that country to the mother country. A sea boat can be transported once a year, and one can transport 1.54 million kilograms at a time.

If there are four hundred sea boats, the mother country's food and fodder will be insufficient; if there are only three hundred, and if there are some fish, and the thin fields in the mountains, it is barely enough to eat. Only when you can eat enough can you fight with the Qin people, and you can protect the mother country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country's country can take back Yingdu, take back the old Ying, and take back Fangcheng. At that time, the king's brother must have a fief of all the mothers."

The little sea boat actually concerns the mother country and the country. For a moment, the princesses were silent. Although they were willing to serve their mother country, not everyone had such ability and responsibility.

"Yes, but..." Mi Pan wanted to say something, but he stopped. "One sea boat costs 850 gold, four hundred, four hundred, wouldn't it cost more than 300,000 gold? We can build one, two, how can we build four hundred?"

"It's not difficult." Xiong Jing looked at the six wives who were about to get married, and suddenly felt it was difficult to speak before he spoke. He couldn't help but stand up and bow to them deeply. The princesses hurriedly avoided and did not dare to accept the courtesy. "Brother Wang dares to ask all wives to exchange dowry for sea boats."

Seeing his great gift, the princesses' hearts were already hanging. When he heard what he said, his face changed immediately. Dowry is not only money, but also a symbol of status. If you marry into a husband's family, you must be looked down upon by the husband's family. Dowry is also the property of a woman throughout her life. If you don't have your own property, then you don't have your own maids and servants, and you don't have your own power. Whether you marry into the royal court or the great clan, there are all internal struggles, and without power, there will be no victory. In this sense, dowry is equivalent to happiness, and now, Brother Wang wants to exchange his happiness for the sea boat...

"Brother Wang just hopes that both the mother's exchange and whether to exchange are voluntary." Xiong Jing's addition made the princesses breathe a sigh of relief.

Mi Rou said, "Qin Mai married King Han. When she learned that his brother Wang wanted to build a sea boat, she didn't hear the details, so she sent someone to bring 2,400 gold to her mother country and said she wanted to build three sea boats. The mother country is now limited in annual income. If she gives me a dowry, she cannot build a large sea boat; if she has a big boat, she cannot give me a dowry. Brother Wang cherishes us and does not want to give us less advice to her mother, so she wants to make a dowry to exchange for a sea boat.

In this way, our dowry is not a lot, but it is no longer gold, jade, silk, and satin. Building sea boats can not only traffic with Zheng people like the people, but also transport grain from overseas countries, preserve the country of the mother country, and restore the homeland of the mother country.

We are all children of our mother country. If our mother country does not exist, what kind of face will we have in our husband's family? If our mother country is strong, who dares to bully us?"

Mi Rou was good at speaking, but she still surprised Xiong Jing when she said this. After she finished speaking, Mi Qin said first: "I would like to change the sea boat, and I also want to smash the wine jar. But I, but I don't know how many dowry I have?"

"Haha..." The girls laughed. It seemed to them that smashing the wine jar when the sea boat went into the water was a fun thing. At this time, Chang Jiang handed a note to the princesses under Xiong Jing's instructions. Mi Qin opened her eyes and said, "Four..."

"Shh." Xiong Jing stopped her. The only dowry is usually the queen mother, the king, the queen, and Wang Yin know, so as not to compare with the princesses.

"Brother Wang, how to change the dowry to the sea boat?" Mi Wen saw her dowry and was not satisfied or dissatisfied. She knew her identity, and according to the convention, there were only so many.

"Please ask my mother to ask my mother not to buy so many jewelry and brocade jewelry, and save money to build sea boats." Xiong Jing said. "After my mother agrees, I will leave this matter to Wang Yin and Lang Yin. You tell them how many sea boats you want to build.

When the boat factory receives money, it will choose an auspicious day to lay the keel. If the wood is dry, a sea boat can be built and launched in six or seven months, and after half a year, it can be sold for profit. All of these matters are the responsibility of the shipping company. They will inform the mothers of their careers and the money they earn every year will be sent to the mothers. In addition, there are always risks in shipping, so each sea boat has to pay a sum of money for insurance. If the sea boat sinks, the insurance company will accompany the sea boat to the mothers.

Even though the company is in charge of everything, Brother Wang still wants to ask all the wives to send one person to each boat, and they also have their own calculations or poor people around them. Mail transportation makes more than ten times more profitable. If there are private goods on the boat, it would be bad."
