Chapter 447: Set sail to the sea (8)

"This is just a local war. In the whole continent, even if the orcs win the Purple Gold Empire in a short time, they will not be able to continue to expand." Xiao Han said, "Before every battle between gods and demons, the continent had a melee, and wars were everywhere, which made the gods and demons take advantage of loopholes. However, you see, in the current continent, except for the upcoming war between the orcs and the Purple Gold Empire, most places seem very calm. This peace is really uneasy. Even without the threat of the gods and demons war, the chaos on the continent has never stopped. It is too quiet!"

"After you say this, I feel something is wrong. This time it is different from what is described in the ancient history of the mainland in the past." Wei Ziting nodded and said.

"The people are involuntarily. They don't know what will happen tomorrow, so they live the same way, dare to do whatever they should do, and are unrestrained. And the more we know, the more confused and frightened we are. So Tingting and Xiaoyue, I don't know what kind of storm is coming, but I hope that our family will unite and trust each other. No matter what difficulties we will encounter in the future, we will overcome them!" Xiao Han stretched out his hands, held Wei Ziting with one hand, and Leng Yue with the other, with his eyes full of confidence.

"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will definitely be by your side!" Wei Ziting and Leng Yueyi said in unison.

"We are there!" Ning Xiner, Hua Ming pushed the door and walked in, shouting, holding his hands tightly together.

"Xiaohan, Sister Hua Ming is a demon clan, right?" Wei Ziting smiled at the corner of her eyes, blinked at Xiao Han naughtyly and said.

"It seems that it is really not easy to hide it from you." Xiao Han sighed with a sigh.

"How did she come to the human world?" Wei Ziting asked curiously.

"Have you ever heard of such a thing as the Space Gate in this world?" Xiao Han asked back.

"Space Gate, do you mean that Sister Hua Ming came to the vast continent through the Space Gate?" Wei Ziting subconsciously covered her lips in surprise.

"Yes, it's the gate of space."

"The space gate has been lost for tens of thousands of years. How could it suddenly appear on the vast continent?" Wei Ziting asked in surprise.

"This matter is a long story. I will tell you in detail later. The Space Gate is of great importance and must not be easily circulated!" Xiao Han gave a heavy reminder.

"Sister Hua Ming can come to the human world through the Gate of Space. Wouldn't everyone in the Demon World can come to the human world through the Gate of Space?" Wei Ziting said.

"It's theoretically, but the space gate not only consumes a lot, but can only teleport ten people at a time. Moreover, the cultivation level must be at least a holy level, otherwise, it will not be able to withstand the tearing of the turbulent space." Hua Mingdi replied.

"So many people in the Demon Realm have entered the Human Realm?"

"Well, not many, no more than a hundred people, they are led by the four princesses in the Demon Realm." Hua Ming said.

"Four Princesses in the Demon Realm?" Although Wei Ziting is the oldest among the people and the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable about the mainland, she still stays in the classics of the cruel and cold-blooded understanding of the demons.

"The four princesses in the Demon Realm are the four most powerful women in the Demon Realm. Their identities in the Demon Realm are very prominent, and their cultivation is also a temporary choice. The Demon Realm sends them to the mainland, first to make preparations for the demon race to invade the human continent, and secondly, to find the lost demonic pattern of the masters of the Demon Realm who fell in the mountain mountain of the Demon Realm in the last battle between gods and demons."

What is the magic pattern? Wei Ziting certainly knows that for a person like her who has lived for so long, there are no secrets on the vast continent. To put it bluntly, the magic pattern is a shortcut to becoming a demon. Just like the magic pattern, people who obtain the magic pattern or the magic pattern can have unparalleled talents and terrifying cultivation speed. They can cultivate to a very high level in a very short time. The disadvantage is that their cultivation grows too fast and they can easily lose themselves. In the end, they will be difficult to make progress. Few people can break through the limitations of the magic pattern or the magic pattern themselves and reach a new level. On the contrary, the divine pattern formed by self-cultivation, although the progress is a little slower, but if the qualifications are sufficient, it is much easier to break through than those who obtain the magic pattern!

The magic shape and the divine shape can help a person gain powerful power in a short period of time, but this power is not obtained by his own cultivation. Its foundation is very shallow, so it can only be used to expand his strength in a short period of time. The purpose of the demon world is to find the magic shape, and the purpose of using enough cannon fodder power to eliminate the opponent's vitality. This is why the demon world sent people into the human continent in advance to find the magic shape. Of course, if it is a high-level magic shape, the purpose will naturally be different.

"Okay, when we went out to sea, we had time to discuss these topics. Now everyone goes back to rest, and it is almost dawn, and we set off at dawn!"

After everyone left, Xiao Han did not rest. People like him would not affect their spirits if they had not sleep for a few days. He was just a little worried. If the power behind Ye Hao was the sea clan, then this journey to sea would probably be uneasy. He didn't know whether the sea clan would take revenge on him on the road. After all, the ocean was a strange place for him, both in his previous life and today!

The sea can tolerate everything, but it can also destroy everything. The ocean is boundless. It is at least as big as four or five vast continents. This is what Wei Ziting told him. There is another question that troubles Xiao Han. Is the vast continent a flat land or an arc surface? He could have judged this from the trajectory of the sun and the moon, but he hopes to use more intuitive phenomena to confirm his guess!

Regarding this, the humans on the Continent do not seem to have rich imaginations from the earth's humans. I always feel that the humans on the earth are more delicate, while the people on the Continent have more thick lines. Maybe they have never thought of such a problem at all.

This question is too shocking and Xiao Han has never mentioned it in front of anyone. At all times, when Xiao Han thinks about these questions, it seems extremely mysterious in the eyes of Ning Xiner and other girls!

Because no one knows what he is thinking, it is not surprising to feel a trace of mystery. This feeling also affects Wei Ziting and other later generations.

Bingyun finally decided to go to Long Island with Xiao Han. Old Master Bing couldn't stop him. In fact, he knew that even if he stopped him, it would be useless. Mu Feng stayed, just for Xiao Han to know the favor of his encounter, he was willing to stay in the Bing family to help the Bing family open up the situation.

In this way, Xiao Han and his group left Shangjing City and headed straight for Yangzhou City!

How to deal with Ye Tong. Xiao Han finally decided to customize a large box, put people in the box, and go out to sea together!

Although this increased the risk factor, Ye Kaixin also made him feel that at least he could see that his niece was safe and was by his side so that he would not be able to play any tricks. Xiao Han also arranged for Bordeaux to stay away from him, and Ye Kai would do whatever scheming he wanted was useless.

It took only two days for Xiao Han and his party to enter Yangzhou City.

The prosperity of Yangzhou City is not inferior to that of the Warriors City, and even the capital city is a little inferior. The New Year is approaching, and the streets are crowded and lively. The emperor's three imperial edicts have spread all over the country, which makes the people who are preparing for the New Year happy. The days will be much better next year, and the people talk about the most are these three imperial edicts!

Yangzhou has been a place where beautiful women have appeared since ancient times, so this time, there were about 3,000 girls selected for Yangzhou City, accounting for almost one-tenth of the number. Although the girls have not returned home and are still on the way, their families have long been looking forward to it.

Yangzhou City is still a water and a land transportation hub. Where merchants from all walks of life gather, more than half of the people in the city rely on business for a living. The Ye family has such a heavy city, how can they not be able to make a fortune and prosper!

In addition to the 70% paid to the court every year, the 30% left in Yangzhou City is a terrifying number!

The Ye family has been reproducing for thousands of years. In addition to Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yingzhou and Jingzhou, these are all the roots of the Ye family in the prosperous areas of the Xiaolong Empire.

The population of Yangzhou's main vein has exceeded one million, and the population of the surname Ye in the country has reached an astonishing 30 million. The surname Ye can be regarded as the first surname of the Xiaolong Empire!

So many people, except for Yangzhou, who made their fortunes through business, then entered the military industry, and finally became the famous Ye family in the Eastern Continent.

The development of the Ye family is inseparable from the Holy Tongmenghui. If the Holy Tongmenghui had not been supported by the initial force, the Ye family would have died before it developed. Especially for the steel warships, the Holy Tongmenghui also made a lot of efforts. Without the secret help of the Holy Tongmenghui, the Ye family would not have obtained the ruins of the goblins, and of course they would not have obtained the exquisite shipbuilding technology of the goblins!

The Ye family, who obtained this technology, also developed rapidly, accumulated strength, and finally supported the current royal Sima family to win the throne. The Ye family also rose to a high level and gained control of the Fengshui treasure land of Yangzhou. It has been captured for more than 4,000 years. Today, Yangzhou City has been deeply engraved with the Ye family's mark from the inside out. Without the Ye family nodding, it would be difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold here.

Yangzhou City, Xiao Han and Ning Xiner have never been here, so everything seems strange and strange. The people here are obviously richer than those who have lived in Beijing. It can be seen from their dress and consumption levels.

Ye Kaihe Hua Ming, who disguised himself as a Ye Tong, and Bordeaux returned to the old house of Ye family. Xiao Han was not worried about Ye Kai's meeting to play tricks. Although the old house of Ye family was a dragon and tiger den, it was useless for people like Xiao Han at that time. What's more, Bordeaux was inseparable and wanted to play tricks in front of the Dragon King again, it would be very ugly to die!

No one knows where Long Island is, and even the three Ruan brothers don’t know. Only the envoys sent by the Dragon Clan knew that the three Ruan brothers had sent a message to Long Island. Long Island instructed them that the envoys sent to the Ye family to send invitations will go out to sea with them on a boat and lead them to Long Island.

When Xiao Han first saw a 5,000-ton ship, he was shocked by the big one. As a time traveler, he naturally saw what an iron warship was. However, he had not seen it with his own eyes, but he had only seen it on TV or in writing in military magazines. It was definitely very different from the feeling of being immersive.

Warship manufacturing is a very complex technical task. There are so many design disciplines that ordinary people cannot imagine. When the Ye family was inherited by goblins, it took nearly a generation of time to tighten their belts to create the first generation of armored ships. However, the first generation of armored ships was subject to various restrictions, technical reasons, and human reasons. The first armored ship was put into use and was forced to retire due to severe rust at the bottom of the ship in just three years. The ship was no longer there, but one percent of its model was well preserved by the Ye family!

Later, as the Ye family's financial resources increased, more and more talents were produced, the iron-armored ships were becoming better and better, and the types were becoming larger and larger. In the eyes of the Ye family, the 5,000-ton ship was already medium and small.

After thousands of years of development, human wisdom is no less than that of the goblin clan. Now the Ye family's shipbuilding technology has far exceeded what they have obtained from the goblin ruins. The only thing that has not made much progress is the core power system of the ship. This problem has troubled the Ye family for countless generations, and in the end it can only increase the accuracy by 30% to make it more energy-saving. However, if a new power system is designed, after countless failures, the Ye family will stop this wasteful behavior. Therefore, in addition to the power system, the Ye family has already wounded more than the goblin era!

It can be said that the Ye family's shipbuilding technology represents the highest technical level on the vast continent and no one can replace it.

Because Xiao Han was born in the Western Regions, there was no big river, let alone the sea, so the countries in the Western Regions were never interested in shipbuilding. The biggest one was a wooden ship of one or two hundred tons. For many rivers in the Western Regions, this was already a big ship, so there was no iron armored ship in the Western Regions. Even the Ike family, who started with ship transport, also had their own shipyards, which only produced wooden ships. The iron armored ships were purchased from the Ye family, but Xiao Han was lucky enough to miss it and did not see it.

The Ye family's shipyard has formed a huge industrial chain, with millions of people relying on the shipyard for their meals, and countless industries in the upstream and downstream are numerous, which indirectly affects the livelihoods of tens of millions of people. Such a huge thing also shocked Xiao Han. The Ye family is no longer the Ye family alone, and his fate has been closely combined with the city of Yangzhou and even more people!

If you pull this, killing the weeds is a joke. You have to kill Xiao Han as soon as you come out. If you really are crazy and ignorant, it will be like Wei Ziting said, it will be self-destruction!

He must have his own shipyard. Xiao Han secretly swore in his heart that even if he could not build a 10,000-ton ship like the Ye family, at least it would be fine to build a 4,000-ton ship.

"Master, what are you thinking? It's time to board the ship!" Ning Xiner gently pushed Xiao Han and said.

"I was wondering, should we build a shipyard too?" Xiao Han said.

"Shipyard, sir, aren't you having a fever?" Ning Xiner reached out to caress Xiao Han's forehead.

"I don't have a fever. I know that building a ship is not a matter of overnight success, but if we don't do it, there will be no chance." Xiao Han said.

"Xiaohan, it's not me who attacks you. It's really difficult to build a ship. At first, it requires a dock, a large number of skilled workers, and materials. If it is a wooden ship, it requires a large amount of wood, steel, etc. Fengcheng does not have the hardware conditions for shipbuilding at present!" Wei Ziting attacked Xiao Han without hesitation.

"People are not a problem, and materials are not a problem. We can build the dock ourselves. The key is the design and technology of the ship. If we build wooden ships, there is no big problem. If I want to build an iron armored ship, it will be a bit difficult!" Xiao Han was not aimless. If he really wanted to build a shipyard, it was not impossible, but it was probably not easy to produce iron armored ships. "I spent so much effort to dig such a large canal. How can I do without a ship?"

"So you asked the Ye family for an iron-armored ship from the beginning. It turned out that you wanted to get it back, learn it, and then imitate it?" Ning Xiner's eyes lit up.

"Xin'er, I do have this plan. Although this ship looks a little older, it doesn't matter to us. As long as we master the construction technology of this ship, why worry about not being able to build a better ship than this?" Xiao Han said with a firm expression.

Most of the exposed steel warships are cast in steel, but in order to reduce the weight of the hull, the internal decoration can be made of wood, and the cost of steel is very high. Otherwise, such a 5,000-ton steel warship would cost 100 million gold coins. How many people can have the money to buy such a steel ship?

Of course, there is never a shortage of rich people on the vast continent. Every year, the Ye family will sell hundreds of these 5,000 tons of steel ships, and thousands of other types of steel ships, benefiting more than 50 billion gold coins. Of course, these 50 billion cannot be enjoyed by the Ye family alone. At least 10 billion is the wages and rewards of workers, and there are various expenses. 10 billion is used to repair and maintain the ships of the Ye family's water army and renew them. What is necessary is to participate in the war to encircle and suppress the sirens in the future. The husband after death, etc. 10 billion is to be handed over to the treasury.

The Ye family cannot make money by themselves. This principle is still clear. The remaining 20 billion yuan is used to enter the private pocket. The shipyard is the largest source of wealth for the Ye family. It and related industries can provide the Ye family with more than 50 billion yuan each year. In addition to other related industries of the Ye family, the Ye family's income exceeds more than 100 billion yuan each year. Of course, the Ye family has a large business and a large population. Although the income is rich, the money is also spread out, and the annual income and expenditure is slightly maintained at a surplus. Even this is the wealth accumulated by the Ye family for more than 4,000 years is shocking.

The so-called asset appraisal of aristocratic families is just an assessment of the industry. The wealth of the major families is not listed here, because no one knows how much wealth the four major families have accumulated after so many years!

Only after each family knows the details of each family, I am afraid that even the behind-the-scenes forces of the Sacred Tongmenghui may not be clear about it.

Similarly, how much money does the Ike family have? The former acting head Rong Xin. Ike didn’t know that at least the money would not be easily used.

The "--Piaotian Wenxue--" number is 5,400 tons, with a full load of 1,328 people, 416 sailors, 606 sailors, 306 other civil servants, and Xiao Han and his group of 12 people, after the merchant ship, the total number is 1,340 people.

Xiao Han bought the ship as a whole in the name of purchasing, and all the sailors and sailors on the ship were kept. Xiao Han originally planned to gather a group of people on the spot and replace the Ye family members. Later, he thought, there was no need for this, this was controlled by the Ye family. After all, he was still from the Ye family members?

Moreover, it takes time for the new crew to get on board, so it takes just a few seconds. It’s better to just use the person you used to wear!

Xiao Han was still very excited when he went out to sea. The first time he went out to sea in this life was in this strange world. Xiao Han, who had never left the sea, felt a little nervous for no reason!

"Anchor!"

"The direction is southeast, the speed is forty!"
