Above the sea, blue blue connects the sky, and thousands of acres of water waves surge towards the shore. From a distance, a little sail gradually appeared at the line between the sea and the sky. Then, the sails became higher and higher, and slowly brought out a sail belt composed of white sails... More than a dozen large ships finally poured out along these waves.

...

“Woo…”

After the sea ship appeared, the desolate horn sounded.

On the shore and above the dock, I immediately became busy after the sound of the horn. Teams of soldiers ran out from inside, standing solemnly on the dock, greeting the arrival of the fleet.

...

"Here I'm back!"

Mo Jing took a breath away while stepping down his second-story building in Haichuanwei.

The one who went out to sea was Yu Zhonghe's already established sea hunchman fleet. Although this was not the first time Yu Zhong went out to sea, she was a little worried every time. The sea hunchman could not be completely conquered, not to mention that the ships of Hai Chunchman were just sailboats... While walking towards the dock, Mo Jing sighed secretly.

It is now the 40th year of Kangxi.

It has been more than three years since Yuzhong became the Sea Cucumber Wei Tong. Three years have been enough for them to accomplish a lot.

The use of cement did not cost Yu Zhong too much effort on it. Moreover, due to the sufficient manpower, it is being expanded every year. Haichuanwei's wharf is now docked at thirty or forty ships at the same time, and this has slowed down the speed of construction.

Ships. Siberia have good wood. Although it is far away from the sea cucumber, there are many rivers in the northeast. After cutting down these trees, removing branches and throwing them into the river, you will almost no longer need to waste any manpower. You only need to arrange people to "turn the river" for these woods in necessary places. These high-quality woods can almost run to the door of the sea cucumber and then run to the shipyard here... In addition, after Yu Zhong officially took office, he asked Kangxi for a large number of shipbuilders, and then passed

The guidance from former British Royal Navy major, old man Brom and pirate leader Drake, two people who have profound attainments in ships, as well as some explorations between himself and Mo Jing, the performance and combat effectiveness of the Sea Cucumber Wei Naval Ship is by no means conceivable to other naval forces belonging to the Qing court. Even the Fujian Naval Ship equipped with Dutch warships cannot be compared. Even Brom and Drake, after seeing the first main ship of Sea Cucumber Wei built by Yu Zhongdu more than a year ago, was almost speechless.

The warship, named "Chairman I" and is called "battleship" in it, has a total length of more than 20 feet (60 meters). It has a total capacity of 875 people. It has a three-layer gun deck. It has a muzzle in front and back of the hull. It has two in front and four in the back. It can be equipped with more than 100 various artillery guns, which are extremely powerful.

However, what surprised the two British men the most was not its powerful firepower, but its cost.

Old Brom, who has been a pirate, a navy, and a merchant, once roughly estimated that if he built such a ship in the UK and equipped it completely, the amount required would never be less than one million pounds. However, in China, in front of Zhonghe Mo Jing, the number of items of this "Chengwei" battleship was not more than 150,000 taels of silver. The reason here is extremely simple, which made Old Brom, who once served as a British navy, envied China for a long time: in sea cucumber, wood does not cost money; craftsmen are all recorded in cheap books, and they only need to eat and drink, no wages; artillery only requires raw material money, and since the artillery manufacturer located in Fengtian has already used the flow method to operate, the quality and quantity of the artillery produced have greatly improved, and the cost has been greatly reduced.

Of course, Yu Zhonghe Mo Jing, who knew that the aircraft carrier went to sea alone, was only seeking death. Yu Zhonghe and Mo Jing did not only produce such a warship. In addition to the main battleships of the "Cai Guard" class, they also supervised the construction of the "Coast Defense" class main cruiser with a capacity of more than 600 people and can be equipped with 74 artillery guns at the same time; the "Sea Wolf" class destroyer with a capacity of 350 people and has two gun decks, and two warships that can be equipped with fifty artillery guns at the same time can be carried out in the ocean.

At present, Haiguanwei owns a total of one Coast Guard battleship, five coastal cruisers, and seven Seawolf destroyers. The other warships are working day and night under the efforts of more than 3,000 shipbuilders and more than 1,000 Japanese servant craftsmen.

In addition to these three types, Yu Zhong and Mo Jing also ordered people to build another two more lighter warships for offshore cruises, sending letters and escorts under the guidance of the two British men.

However, although everything went smoothly, Yu Zhong still encountered some troubles... Kangxi and the ministers in the court almost got shocked by him.

At that time, Shi Lang led a total of more than 28,000 naval officers and 240 warships to attack Taiwan. The Qing court thought that it was very amazing. But what about now? So many people, just the thirteen main warships in Yuzhong's hands, could carry about one-third of them. That's not counting. Yuzhong showed them and required the number of artillery that almost made several of Kangxi's older ministers who were a little poor in health suffer from myocardial infarction and thought that Yuzhong wanted to rebel. In the end, Kangxi sent people to Haichuanwei to see it before he truly believed Yuzhong and did not lie.

So, under this circumstance, Kangxi immediately dispatched another 5,000 navy troops to enter the sea hunchou to replenish his troops. At the same time, he told Yu Zhong that the Qing court could not hold on to him to build ships like this and asked him to move slowly.

However, these things were finally resolved.

Because Old Man Fei made the glass.

Originally, a few people thought about making glass not long after they returned to the Qing Dynasty, but they were either busy or could not find craftsmen. Although several people knew that glass was simple to make, there was only a little craftsmanship problem, and no one could figure it out.

Therefore, this matter has been delayed, and then several people are busy with their own affairs and make a lot of money. So slowly no one thinks about this matter anymore.

However, this situation changed when Old Man Fei came to Beijing to see Kangxi, and met Bai Jin again.

In fact, I don’t know if Old Man Fei is lucky enough, because Bai Jin was ready to leave China at that time.

That time, the Red Archbishop of Vatican, Doro came to China to engage in a "ritual dispute" between Catholicism, which cut off the momentum of Catholic development in China. Kangxi almost banned the spread of Catholicism in China. Although he did not give any real order in the end, he no longer allowed foreign missionaries to preach at will in China. Moreover, in order to prevent the Vatican Church from knowing the so-called so-called Chinese internal affairs in the future and becoming more and more severely interfering, Kangxi also took a major step, namely, establishing a system for missionaries to receive votings.

"It means that the Westerners who never return will be sent to the letter and stamped the seal of the General Administration Office of the Internal Affairs Office, which states the nationality, age, separation, years of coming to China, and never return to the West. Because they went to Beijing to pay homage, the words "The tickets" must be written in Qing, Chinese characters, and numbered in thousand characters, and recorded again."

"I advise all Westerners to be disobedient to the rules of Matteo Ricci, and they will never live in China from now on, and they will be disobed from here."

...

After the establishment of the system of voting, some of the Chinese missionaries left, while others went to the Beijing Office of Internal Affairs to collect voting and stayed. According to statistics from the Office of Internal Affairs, among the remaining missionaries, there were 12 missionaries in Portugal, 10 missionaries in Italy, 18 missionaries in France, 5 missionaries in Spain, 1 missionaries in Germania (Germany), 1 missionary in Rhoda Ling, and 1 missionary in Boronia. The total number was 48.

However, although there were quite a few people, they did not include Bai Jin and Zhang Cheng. After staying in Beijing for a few more years, Kangxi, who finally refused, chose to leave.

And just when Bai Jin and others were about to leave, Old Man Fei went to Beijing to meet Kangxi and reported on the work of returning to the township of Beijing Banner. He remembered that there was still such a foreigner he knew, who looked for him when he was bored.

As a result, after some chat, Old Man Fei got a note given by Bai Jin. There were records of chemical experiments... glass and mirror making, and there was actually no shortage of them; and there was also the principle of making clocks.

So, the time for development has come.

...

Because making glass is simply a business without foundation, and fearing that people will be jealous, Old Man Fei thought about it over and over again and finally reported this way of making money to Kangxi. As a result, Kangxi, who was worried that there was not enough money, ordered him to try it out.

So, it was out of control.

Although some foreigners were selling glass to China at this time to make huge profits, how could their things be compared with local goods? Therefore, Fengtian's glass products quickly became popular all over the country. Even Mo Jing ran over and sold several batches and handed them over to Yu Zhong. When he went out to sea, he smuggled them to Japan. As a result, he made a net profit of more than 100,000 taels of gold in one year.

Kangxi was overjoyed. He directly promoted the "Kongzhong Kingdom" to a second-class official and also served as the deputy general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At the same time, he issued a glass as the "official camp", and was specifically responsible for the old man Fei, and used all the money to fund the Haichuanwei's shipbuilding and Fengtian's cannon construction. However, these orders were also restricted. Haichuanwei's troops were almost the same as warships, and after the ship was built, they would be allocated to other navy divisions, and Fengtian's cannons were the same.

...

***************

"How is it? Miss me?"

The ship landed. After Yu Zhong got off the boat, he immediately ran to the only woman in Hai Chuanwei who had the right to enter the military port and said with a smile. His face, which was already shining with a purple color, was even more charming to show his most heartfelt smile.

"How is it? Are you tired?" Mo Jing smiled at Zhong's words, but did not answer directly. He just reached out to help him gently brush his clothes and asked softly.

"Of course... tired!" Yu Zhong deliberately pulled a long sound, causing Mo Jing to punch him gently before he finished speaking.

"If you are tired, go home. Anyway, they know what to do, and it is better than you." Mo Jing glanced at Nian Gengyao, Yue Zhongqi and Murcha who were following behind and disembarking the ship on the dock, and said to Zhong with a smile.

"Don't worry. I have something good for you." Mo Jing was about to turn around and lead the way, but Yu Zhong grabbed her arm. Then, regardless of whether she wanted it or not, Yu Zhong pulled her toward the pier.

"What?" Mo Jing asked.

"Hehe, you will know soon." Yu Zhong didn't say it out loud, but just pulled Mo Jing and walked forward. No matter who or what the soldiers on the road were doing, they immediately made way when they saw the two of them coming.

...

"This is...god? How did you catch it?"

Soon he arrived at the place. Mo Jing looked at the pirate leader Drake in surprise and commanded some naval officers and soldiers to lift the big fish from the ship with a "crane" (a lever with a bracket with a large stone tied to one end), and shook his head repeatedly.

This is not a whale, but it is not much different, because this is actually a shark that is bigger than an ordinary whale!

Mo Jing measured the one in front of him with his eyes and his body length was definitely more than ten meters.

"Hehe, I thought I was lucky enough to catch a sturgeon that was ten feet long in Lake Baikal the previous year, but I never thought that I could catch such a big shark when I returned to the flight... Thanks to this guy's appearance, I wouldn't recognize him... At the beginning, I thought I had encountered a whale." Yu Zhong kept twitching.

"Yes, I really don't know how there is such a big shark in this world. Oh my God, I really don't know how many years it has lived. It is bigger than the most ferocious great white shark..." Drake is now Yu Zhong's "first mate", working part-time for Mo Jing. Now, seeing his boss and boss coming at the same time, he couldn't help but make a few words.

"This is a whale shark! It is born with a large size... However, this kind of shark should only eat small fish or those small shrimps, and its attack power is not strong. It is no wonder that it is so unlucky when it comes to you, the 'evil'." Mo Jing shook his head and smiled.

"Whale Shark? Well, the name is quite consistent." Yu Zhong nodded, and this time he had gained insight.

"Sir, how do you deal with this shark?" asked a soldier watching.

"What to do with it?...Drake!" Yu Zhong thought for a while and called out to Drake.

"What are your instructions? Sir." Drake replied calmly. Since Made gave them to Yu Zhong and became a member of the Sea Cucumber Wei Shui Army, he and his former subordinates were seriously poisoned by Nian Gengyao, and they could no longer find the original appearance. From the bottom of their hearts, they all looked like a qualified soldier.

"Look for a few people and cut this shark for me. Today, our entire army has a 'whale shark feast'." Yu Zhong said.

"Whale Shark Banquet? Are you going to eat it?" Mo Jing asked suddenly.

"Ah...what is wrong? Can't you eat it? Is this thing like a pufferfish, with poison on its body?" Yu Zhong asked.

"No. I just thought you would put this whale shark in the ice kiln and send it to Beijing to seek credit and reward." Mo Jing smiled.

"Hehe, I had such a plan. But... I'm so repetitive about sending fish to Beijing every year, so after thinking about it, I just ate it." Yu Zhong also smiled.

"Eat, eat..." Mo Jing lowered his head and thought to himself for a while, then suddenly looked up at Yu Zhong and asked, "What do you think we will send people to hunt sharks in the future? It should not be less profitable than those businesses in Lake Baikal."

"This... don't be anxious? Let's go home first, go home..." Seeing that Mo Jing's business mind was aroused again, Yu Zhong slapped her and walked out of the port... In recent years, Mo Jing has managed a lot of things. Not only those she opened up by herself, Ma De and Luo Xin went south, and all the business left by Ningguta was handed over to her. Now, in the whole Manchuria, except for Fengtian, which is the economic zone of Old Man Fei, Jilin and Heilongjiang are completely "covered by one hand" by Mo Jing.

She was doing business bigger and bigger. Moreover, Old Man Fei also pushed the clock business into her hands and had already achieved results. However, these businesses made the couple spend less and less time together, especially Yu Zhongde ran at Nibuchu and Hai Chuanwei. Mo Jing not only had to go to these two places, but also had to go to Ningguta... These situations made Yu Zhong almost feel a little scared about business. Now when he heard Mo Jing's idea of ​​making money, he naturally hurriedly changed the topic.
