Both were impressed by Song Chen because Song Chen said that after the Xiangfan victory, the Song Dynasty was even more dangerous now. The Mongolians used to be strong and used troops everywhere. Now they received secret reports from the Imperial City Division. Three months ago, the north and northwest were suspended. Now they have freed up their hands to attack the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although the desperate attack on Xiangfan was failed this time, it was related to the hasty preparations of reinforcements. If the Mongolian came to his senses, the next attack would not be so easy to deal with.

Both of them were shocked by Song Chen's analysis. Whether they agree or not, they also knew that he was a very insightful person.

They talked a lot in the world, and the two of them quietly put the topic behind the scenes. They encouraged Song Chen to ask for money from the court after the incident was over.

After drinking Erma Erma, Song Chen felt that this was something he must do. He also found a lot of financial resources for the court, four-wheeled carriage, new tools, and Tanzhou coal yard. Now it is time for him to have some soup. How can a new yamen be built in Quanzhou be transferred separately to 10,000 guan? This number should be increased later.

When it comes to saying that this money cannot be used on the sea, it is vaguely mentioned that things on land are much more important than things in the ocean, and Song Chen sobers up.

The three of them were arguing about the more important things about the border defense and the coastal defense. Now there is basically no threat to the ocean in the Song Dynasty. There are only a few larger pirates on the beach, and there is no substantial threat to the court at all.

It seems that coastal defense is not important, and Song Chen has no objection to these. From another perspective, the development of the sea is still the virgin land of the Chinese nation. The sea has so many fishery resources, kelp, seaweed and various large fish, which can even alleviate famine to some extent.

Of course, if the largest ocean is quiet, the trade channel will be safe. In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has never banned the sea. It is a dynasty that encourages trade.

Even so, the sea did not receive enough attention, especially at the end of the dynasty. For example, now, the only 30,000 guan that was pulled out every year was basically misappropriated by Li Laoxian.

The sea can bring wealth, opportunities, and hope for victory. The next few centuries will be the ocean era, and our current civilization should transition from land civilization to marine civilization.

Song Chen used a lot of parallelism, which was quite imposing.

He was convinced by the two of them, and they believed that Song Chen was just a craftsman with superb skills and did not have much hope for the administrative ability of this master.

But now we can let Song Chen let it go and see which part he can do.

However, after the bargaining between us, whether it is Song Chen's or Song Chen's, Li Laoxian's or Li Laoxian's, the two sides also reached a secret agreement, that is, the position of the coastal commander will be set up on behalf of Lu Xiufu.

For example, Song Chen’s daily affairs, those reports and the like can be sent to Lu Xiufu.

Of course, this kind of thing should not be made public. The court appointed him Li Tingzhi. Now he has "contracted" this position himself and is the boss of the hand. He must do it in secret.

"By the way, Song Chen, which road have you taken to Quanzhou?" Li Laoxian, Lu Xiufu and Song Chen got along well. After talking about unpleasant business, they can talk about some relaxed questions and get close to each other.

"Take the sea!" Song Chen gave a very unique answer.

Originally, not everyone thought they could go by land. This is a common way for people to travel in this era. There are also restrictions on water routes. There must be a river that connects the two places together.

There are also passenger transport by sea, most of which are short-distance, near the near sea, and the acceptance is not high. From time to time, you will hear news of the sinking of sea ships. It is almost a consensus that it is not safe to go to the sea.

This time, Song Chen was preparing to take the sea route from Mingzhou to Quanzhou. No one had ever walked through this channel. It was equivalent to saying that when Song Chen arrived, he was preparing to open a route by himself. It sounded incredible!

If he hadn't talked with this guy for so long, the two national heroes would have a certain understanding of Song Chen's ability, otherwise he might have been detained immediately and could not take risks with the huge wealth of the court.

"Song Chen, are you sure you won't be drowned?" After Li Laoxian said Lao Bai's mouth, he began his straightforward questioning.

"The Dragon King of the Sea dared not accept me, for fear that I would go down and make trouble!" Song Chen said with great momentum.

"Can your ship be different?" Lu Xiufu knew very well that recently an official from a boat yard in Mingzhou was complaining that the military weapon supervisor placed a strange order a few months ago. This boat yard was also owned by the court, but it was not subject to military weapon control.

The military weapon supervisor gave a sufficient deposit, and said that it was strictly implemented according to the design plan. If there was a problem with the ship being manufactured, the yard would not have any responsibility.

This is an old boat yard and also takes civilian orders. Although the officials think it is a bit strange, because the order is profitable, I couldn't help but take it.

Therefore, this old boat yard built a strange ship.

"You will know when you go and take a look!" Song Chen immediately invited the two of them to watch the launch ceremony of the new sailboat.

At Mingzhou Port, the three new sailboats are about to go into the sea. The people in the yard are all looking very good because they didn't know in advance that the commander of the Lianghuai Control was coming to watch the launching ceremony. If it was a joke, it wouldn't be very fun.

These craftsmen who make such sailboats are not optimistic about this kind of ship. Many of them think that they will overturn when they first go into the water. They are not confident enough, but they have no confidence at all.

The sink here began to lift water, and the boat slowly lifted up.

In order to experience this kind of sailboat up close, Song Chen was on the boat. This was his sailboat based on the most advanced design style in later generations. After all, it was his first time to go into the sea.

But he seemed full of confidence. In fact, Song Chen was extremely cherishing his life. He asked Xiao Hei to check it at any cost. The message came from, "Advanced three-masted sailboat has excellent performance. As long as he doesn't commit suicide, he will not die."

Xiao Hei still has the same usual style and is always so proud.

The lock opened and the ship slowly pulled out.

The new sailboat appeared on the sea and stood proudly on the sea. The craftsmen in the boat vented a sigh of relief. Their reputation was saved. As for the problem you had when you entered the ocean, it had little to do with them.

Song Chen shouted a trumpet and raised his sail!

I chose a few clever sergeants to be sailors. I had taught them to perform these movements before, and the canvas slowly rose.

The sky is not beautiful, and a strong headwind blows at this time, and it blows toward the land.

At this time, if Shengfan said, he would shave to the land. Everyone was wondering if Shengfan was messing around at this time?
