"Look at it."

This was the first large-scale fleet of the Song Dynasty, which held the hope of the monarch and his subjects.

——The Song Dynasty should walk on two legs, one on the land and the other on the ocean.

Chen An's statement was no longer noticeable at first, but later, as the navy suppressed the Jiaozhi people, it gradually became valued.

Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi walked together. Wang Anshi remembered his constantly revised Wanyan Book and said with some emotion: "At the beginning, Anbei said that the Song Dynasty should look at the sea, but there were not many supporters. Until the navy made the Jiaozhi people in the southwest anxious and the southwest took advantage of this peace, it attracted attention. This time, the merchant fleet went to sea on a large scale, which was another attempt. If it could be done, it would be another way."

Bao Zheng had served as the Sansi Envoy, so he knew the benefits of trade to the national finances. "Those people are short-sighted people. The great cannibals earned countless money from the sea trade. Why did they make money? Is there no sea boats in the Song Dynasty? There are no naval armies?"

"Look, if you make a lot of money this time, those people will be jealous."

The king and his minister hurried out and all the way to the water gate.

The general guarding the Water Gate salutes, Zhao Shu said, "Let them come in."

This is similar to a ceremony that allows Zhao Shu to test the merchant fleet.

"Enter the city!"

The fleet slowly entered the city...

The merchants changed into new clothes, and some even applied makeup.

The shipmen tried their best to get the ship directly to land for sailing.

The boxes were placed on the deck, and the boxes were opened, revealing the goods inside.

"Gold...that's silver..."

“So many spices!”

"That's rhino horn!"

"What a big ivory!"

"What is that?"

"Amberg! It's ambergris!"

A businessman bowed to the monarch and ministers on the shore with pride and shouted: "The villain bought a box of ambergris and asked the officials to accept it with a smile."

This is a smart guy.

Ambergris has always had the greatest demand for the royal family, and now the government has acquired it several times, so he gave it a gift directly.

This is to please others.

Of course, the official will not accept the gift, as much as it should be.

What a favor has fallen!

It has to be said that businessmen are the product of interests, and they can be linked to interests in everything.

"So much? How much does it cost?"

Someone was screaming on the shore.

The businessman was probably full of energy, so he shouted, "This kind of spice is very cheap overseas!"

A sigh of regret came from the shore immediately.

Someone said, "Why didn't I go there when I'm waiting for such a good opportunity?"

At that time, the Hangzhou Maritime Warehouse Department also sent a message to Bianliang to recruit merchants who went out to sea.

But everyone is a little cautious. Some people say that if you go out on a large scale, it will trigger a war if you don’t make any money by then. If you don’t make any money, will it be unfair to feed big fish?

So everyone waited.

Wait and wait, now the fleet has returned and brought back countless valuable goods.

"We're all wrong!"

Seeing that his colleagues made a lot of money, the wealthy merchants in Bianliang were so jealous.

"At the time when Duke Chen said that he could make a lot of money by going overseas, we didn't believe it."

"The princess of Shen County told the merchants of the Song Dynasty to go out to sea, but he did not go himself."

"yes!"

"Huh! What is that?"

A large box was placed on the deck, and it was filled with golden light.

"That's gold!"

"So much gold, it's about thousands of taels."

A businessman next to the wooden box, he said aloud: "Someone was entrusted by the Shen County Duke..."

"Now it's Duke of County Shen." Someone was reminding him.

The merchant was surprised: "Is it actually a county duke? This promotion is too fast."

He pointed to Jinzi and said, "The Shen County Bus gave the fleet a crystal mirror. The Zhenla Kingdom Lord couldn't let go of it and gave three thousand taels of gold to put it in his pocket..."

"Three thousand taels of gold?"

"It's 30,000 yuan."

"He just made a mirror and went out to sea, and he actually made so much money?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen An who was following Zhao Shu.

Chen An was very calm and whispered to Zhao Xu, "It's not someone who boasted. If someone took the fleet to sea, he would definitely be able to use trade to build a large territory for the Song Dynasty..."

At this time, the overseas countries were still in ignorance. Chen An only needed to take an army to go out to sea. The Song Dynasty behind him continued to supply goods and supplies, and he promised to get a large piece of land.

But the main direction of the Song Dynasty is not overseas, but on land.

On the distant grassland, batches of fierce tribes are born every year. They fight each other and are coveting the throne of the Liao people step by step.

When Zhao Shu heard this, he felt aroused in his heart and said, "There will naturally be a navy when going to sea."

hehe!

Boy, don't think about getting away!

Chen An said something when he was nonsense with Zhao Xu. The general meaning was that if the Song Dynasty had no future, my brother would take his family to sea. At that time, he would find a place overseas to settle down and take a group of people to rob him. He would be happy like a god!

Zhao Shu remembered the attacks of Lu Hui and others, and Chen Xieli, who was taking the slaughter.

He glanced at Han Qi and nodded.

Both of them knew that Chen An was intentionally murdering last night, just to give them a difficult problem.

I've gone to work, at least you have to be optimistic about the future, right?

I can’t even see the future. I don’t want to do this job anymore. Whoever you want to do will do it!

This kid used murder to express his opinion: Brother quit!

Therefore, the monarch and minister can only suppress Lu Hui and others with shamelessness.

Chen An's words just now made Zhao Shu a little worried.

So he came up with what he said just now.

There are naval troops going to sea!

Just stay on land honestly.

Zhao Shu turned around and looked at Chen An, thinking that this kid was really a... You said, "Fu General, but his many views are thought-provoking. You said he has the shadow of a famous minister, and this man immediately provoked the two queens of Xixia and Liao Kingdoms.

That’s Xiao Guanyin and Liang!

Fortunately, Li Liangzuo left, otherwise Chen An would have to worry about being assassinated by the Western Xia dead soldiers.

Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang said: "This kid is getting more and more courageous now. He used to be cautious, but now he can compete with us..."

"This is growing up." Zeng Gongliang said: "From being able to be timid, to now daring to negotiate terms with us, isn't this growing up?"

"Hey! Why is my son not so promising?" Han Qi sighed a little emotion.

"Your planting is not good!" Zeng Gongliang mocked him without hesitation.

Han Qi beat him up and stepped on him quickly.

"hiss……"

Zeng Gongliang's face turned green. He stomped his feet and cursed, "Old man...", and then reached out to twist Han Qi's fat waist...

hiss……

Merchant ships kept coming in, and the goods on the ship surprised the people of Bianliang. A group of big food merchants gathered together and their faces were pale.

"The Song people are back."

"They brought back countless goods."

"This is not scary. We can still supply them, but the price will be lower and the profit will be less."
