The willows swaying by the Jinming Pool, and the remaining lotus on the lake swings with the waves. The waves are vast and look solemn.

Just on a row of semi-finished warships next to it, the craftsmen stood in scattered positions, listening to the prince’s speech.

Pu Jiu was wearing a fur coat and said in a daze: "The opponent of the Song Dynasty's navy... the king, the villain doesn't know."

Overseas are those countries, and he doesn’t think anyone will be the opponent of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Shu looked at the ships with his hands behind his back, and happened to see Chen An who was stopped by the guards, so he waved.

Chen An came over to salute, and Zhao Shu said, "I heard you were drunk yesterday?"

Who is spreading bad things about Brother?

Chen An didn't expect that even the palace knew about the news that he was drunk, but it was obvious that the long-tongued woman must be a guy on the official side.

"Master, I am just having stomach upset."

Zhao Shu smiled, not struggling with this question. He pointed to the warship and asked, "I ask you, who is the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty Navy?"

“Countries abroad.”

Tsk!

Pu Jiu had some headaches.

Now that he was stared at by the people of the Imperial City Department, he could not leave the Song Dynasty at all. After a long time, he simply regarded himself as a native of the Song Dynasty.

Since they were from the same group, he felt that Chen An had a problem with his opinion, so he naturally wanted to remind him.

"Attachment, most of the places overseas are natives. The Song Dynasty only needs to send a few ships to the scene. As soon as the swords and guns are revealed, they will guarantee that they will kneel down and ask for surrender immediately."

This... they are too weak and do not deserve to be the opponent of Da Song!

Zhao Shu nodded slightly and said, "Don't bully the weak."

Nonsense!

Chen An narrowed his eyes and looked at Pu Jiu and said, "The king doesn't know anything. Those natives are ignorant and have no language or words. Some even enjoy killing people and feed on people."

I'll go!

Zhao Shu changed color in an instant: "There is actually a place where people can be eaten? Did you coax me?"

Chen An pointed at the embarrassing Pu Jiu and said, "You will know when you ask him."

Pu Jiu bowed and said, "You are very knowledgeable. There is indeed a cannibal group overseas, and no one dares to get close to their place."

Zhao Shu asked, "Since no one dares to get close, why do you know that they cannibalism?"

Pu Jiu's eyes were filled with horror and said, "More than ten years ago, a merchant ship that was broken by the strong wind leaned on an island. When they saw the trail, they knew that someone lived here, so they happily went to explore the path..."

"...They met a group of natives and smiled and wanted to seek food..."

Ask for food from cannibals...

Chen An felt that the crew members were seeking death.

"The natives looked at them when they saw them. They were just saying that they had met kind-hearted people, so the natives raised their wooden sticks and picked up the blower..."

Pu Jiu's eyes were full of fear, "They felt something was wrong, so they started running. The entire island was full of natives... They were chased and ran around... Most of them were knocked down..."

"Five people escaped by chance and hid in the place where the natives lived. They wanted to wait until it was dark and ran to the beach, and then they saw the natives cooking..."

"They started..."

Zhao Shu's throat began to surge, and the guards and eunuchs around him were feeling uncomfortable.

"…The savages had a full meal, and the rest were marinated with salt..."

"vomit!"

Some eunuch turned around and vomited wildly, which triggered a large-scale imitation, and there was a lot of sour smell on the side of Jinming's pool immediately.

Pu Jiu was still immersed in the memories and couldn't extricate himself: "Later they successfully escaped and kept floating on the sea until they encountered rescue. On the way, they cut off food... Five people were eaten and three people were eaten. The remaining two were also a little crazy..."

Damn it!

When Chen An heard this, he felt that this matter could be adapted into a big drama, and it would definitely be a big shot when filmed.

Cannibals, internal strife, human nature in the face of hunger... What a good subject!

Zhao Shu was silent. He was not sighing, but was enduring the desire to vomit.

The eunuchs and guards who were vomiting also calmed down. Someone asked them to clean up the vomit, so Zhao Shu took the opportunity to change the place.

"Go and get tea!"

Pu Jiu was still stunned. Chen An grabbed him and shouted, "Go quickly."

It almost made Zhao Shu vomit. This deep impression would probably never be forgotten in my life.

But this is not a good impression. In addition, Pu Jiu is a big cannibal, so in Zhao Shu's eyes, he is probably an optional person.

After drinking tea, Zhao Shu gradually recovered a little.

"There is no ritual and music overseas, and it is not worth taking risks when the Song Dynasty."

In this era, ships have poor wave resistance, and their navigation depends entirely on Sinan and star-shaping techniques. Going to sea is an adventure.

After listening to Pu Jiu's story, Zhao Shu felt that overseas was a barbaric place, and it was best for them to let themselves die.

Pu Jiu was happy as soon as he heard this. He was still worried that the large-scale outing of the Song Dynasty would trigger a dispute over interests with the Dashi, which would eventually lead to a war between the two countries.

It's good not to go out to sea!

He glanced at Chen An, worried about being vented, so he smiled and said, "King, you can go to sea to sea, such as Japan... and Goryeo."

Zhao Shu nodded, "Gali is all about poetry and books, and so is Japan."

The Song Dynasty only interacted with countries with common values!

Your thoughts are unsatisfactory!

Chen An felt that Zhao Shu had a problem with his thinking, so he said, "King, overseas... it is rich!"

"rich?"

When it comes to money, Zhao Shu obviously has something more in his eyes.

"The Song Dynasty is poor!"

Chen An said sadly: "Bao Gong often complains in the third department, saying that if he has no money, he will be eaten by the officials below, which shows how poor the Song Dynasty is."

Zhao Shu frowned and said, "Financial is a bit difficult."

"It's not just a difficult situation, but a lack of help."

Chen An then talked about the current financial situation of the Song Dynasty. If he did not seek a way out, the Song Dynasty would be dead.

"...Master, saving money is just one way, but more importantly, opening up the source!"

Zhao Shu nodded. He also studied this, but it was just a headache and there was no good idea.

Don’t treat the emperor as omnipotent gods. Since Renzong, the finances of the Song Dynasty collapsed. Everyone knows the root of the problem, but who cares?

No!

In the end, Zhao Zhongzhen took action to save the situation, but the innovation failed, so the Song Dynasty fell into the abyss.

"The official has mentioned this matter in the past few days, but he is a little helpless."

Zhao Shu left the palace for two consecutive days and had a lot of entourage, so this is creating momentum.

When building momentum, when you need to understand the people's sentiment, you should understand the people's sentiment.

Today he came to check the progress of the navy. He was a little interesting and prepared to go back.

"King, go out to sea!"

Chen An smiled like a slander, "You can make money when you go overseas and make a lot of money."

Zhao Shu's eyes turned, he glanced at Pu Jiu and said, "Didn't you go to rectify the Maritime Mansion Department?"

Chen Ang and Wang Rong have been out for a long time. According to time, they should also arrive in Guangzhou.

According to Chen An's promise, the three Maritime Manufacturing Corporations must earn one million RMB at this time next year.

So Zhao Shu felt that it was enough and could no longer put a burden on Chen An.

Chen An smiled and said, "The king doesn't know that there is not only trade overseas, but also many mines, such as...copper mines, gold and silver mines..."

Zhao Shu's eyes lit up suddenly and he asked, "Is these conclusive?"

Copper mines were short of copper in the Song Dynasty, and countless money was made every year, but they were still not enough, so the shortage of money became Bao Zheng’s most headache.

As for gold and silver, it is even more amazing. The Song Dynasty had thought of using gold and silver as currency, but the little gold and silver in stock... if it really was to be used as currency and put into the market, it would probably not even be able to stimulate a wave.

Chen An looked at Pu Jiu with a slightly changed face and said with a smile: "Pu Jiu used to go out to sea often, so the king can ask him."

Pu Jiu was complaining in his heart, and when he heard this, he said, "Yes, there are many mines on the islands overseas, and there are all kinds of colors."

Zhao Shu sneered: "Then why don't you take it?"

"No one."
