    Thank you for the reward from the history book friends "What are you afraid of? The soldiers will block you, and the water will cover you. We have passed Dan Lake and will soon reach the seaside. Once we go to sea, it will not be a dragon swimming in the sea. These big shots are holding hands  No matter how long it is, can it still be stretched out?" Captain Zhang sneered.  As a major shareholder, he naturally discusses matters here.  This is when we are in the same boat and working together, so naturally we can¡¯t hide anything.  "That's right, Li Fang should have arrived earlier. Wait for us at Tongcheng Port. Once we meet up and our strength is greatly increased, we shouldn't be afraid of ordinary dangers!" Xu Yi said comfortingly.  We are not afraid of ordinary dangers, but there is still no way to resist the fiery cloud sky that we encountered last time.  It¡¯s just that everyone understands this, but they don¡¯t want to say it.  Speaking of such force majeure will have no use except to plummet morale.  Tongcheng Port is one of the largest ports in Dachu.  There is an endless stream of ships coming and going from the canal every day.  Countless overseas treasures, spices and other items were continuously transported to the hinterland of Dachu.  Because there are many tung trees planted around the port.  It is said that it was first planted specifically for the convenience of shipbuilding.  Now, hundreds of years later, this place has already turned into a forest composed of tung trees.  Towering sky blocks out the sun everywhere.  The entire Tongcheng Port seems to be in the embrace of the Tongcheng Forest.  Therefore, it was named Tongcheng Port.  The canal is running through this forest of tung trees.  Tall tung trees cover most of the river, making it extremely shaded for boating.  No heat at all.  There are constant traffic of boats in the river and it is very lively.  Here it is.  It is already an area controlled by the army stationed in Tongcheng Port.  But no one dares to mess around anymore.  Liu Yi originally thought that the inland canal was very lively, but when he arrived at the port.  Seeing thousands of giant ships floating on the sea.  Stopping in the port, I was amazed.  There are definitely not a few ships here that can be compared with large ships of more than a thousand tons in another world.  There are even giant-sized ships, which may not be inferior to the legendary treasure ships in another world!  But at this time, oppressive clouds floated over in the sky.  When he looked up, he saw that there were no clouds. Instead, he saw huge spaceships rising into the sky.  "Oh" It was the first time for many people to see such a huge thing that could fly in mid-air, and they cried out in horror.  ¡°The big ones of these flying boats are hundreds of meters away.  Some even look like building boats.  The height can reach thirty to fifty meters.  The soldiers carried on it also have many dazzling weapons.  Flying in the air that is not too high, there is an almost suffocating sense of oppression.  Liu Yi could know from Qin Shiyue's memory that these so-called airships were nothing more than airships.  It is somewhat similar to another world-famous Zeppelin, but now with my own eyes, it seems that the technical level is much higher.  It seems that like trains and ships, they are all technologies learned from the other side.  "It's a pity that we can't go to sea in a flying boat." Wang Ran sighed.  If you can take this flying boat to the sea, the journey time will be saved by half.  "This is an important military weapon, don't even think about it!" Captain Zhang smiled casually: "Don't even look at it, it's just like a country bumpkin entering the city. Let's meet up with the other half of the people as soon as possible!" Only then did everyone wake up.  Although Tongcheng Port is huge.  But it is a semi-military managed port.  Although it is open to the public, it is still one of the ports of the South China Sea Fleet, one of the most powerful fleets in Da Chu. ?? If Xu Yi and others are not taking the Jiansheng exam.  Therefore, with the official documents issued by the imperial court, it would be impossible to move forward here.  Fortunately, they successfully found Li Fang and others.  They all exclaimed.  Li Fang and others had already boarded a large ship early, looking at it from the perspective of another world.  The displacement is at least one thousand tons.  ??To use Da Chu¡¯s terminology, it is a large ship with more than 10,000 materials.  The most important thing is that in addition to the sails raised high, this ship also has a chimney standing proudly at the stern.  This is actually a hybrid ship with a steam engine!  Liu Yi thought with laughter.  Is this the so-called Eastern steampunk?  Even Captain Zhang, who was sitting facing south and facing north, was very well-informed and was quite excited.  This is a large ship with a steam engine that they use themselves.  ? ??I know, in the inner river of Dachu.  There are very few ships like this.  Ordinary people don't even have much chance to see it, let alone ride it.  "This ship, just for a discount, costs 50,000 gold. This is still the price of a product produced by the imperial court, which has a price but no market. If you really want to buy it, it can be said that without 108,000 gold, you don't even think about it  ¡± Xu Yi introduced this ship with some pride.  Naturally, he and Li Fang could not afford such a large ship, but the imperial court specially allocated it for their trials.  From this one item, you can know how much importance the imperial court attaches to elites like them in the Imperial College.  No wonder Xu Yi is proud!  Captain Zhang showed a look of leisurely admiration. He spent all his wealth and might be able to afford one-tenth of the ship.  But even if he pays three times the price.  You can¡¯t even buy a boat like this!  As the group of people approached in great force, Li Fang also came out with his troops to respond.  " Then I saw a white cloth tied around Li Fang's arm, with faint traces of blood still showing.  And behind Li Fang, among the followers.  Many of them were also covered in injuries.  "Did you also encounter trouble on the road?" Xu Yi blurted out.  "Are you guys too?" Li Fang said, showing an angry look.  Xu Yi winked: "Let's talk about it after we get on the boat" At the dock, people were coming and going, so it was really not a place to talk.  This time they went to sea, so naturally they couldn¡¯t have only such a big ship.  In fact, the imperial court only allocated one steamship to the two of them.  But the two still had to find a way to raise funds by themselves and bought themselves two sailboats.  A ship of Yi Zihao is about more than 4,000 materials.  One ship is a square-shaped ship with more than 6,000 materials.  The two ships are not big, and they are just sailing ships.  Prices plummeted.  Both ships combined.  It only cost more than three thousand gold.  ¡°However, even so, they have already spent more than half of the funds they raised.  Other recruiting staff.  Replenish supplies, etc.  If you count everything together, this is the trip to sea.  The funds they need are about 10,000 gold.  For most people in this world, this is an astronomical figure.  Fortunately, they are supervising the exams.  According to court law, the funds they raise and borrow have limited liability and must not be involved.  In other words, something happened to them overseas.  Can't come back.  Creditors are not allowed to approach their families to repay their debts.  It can be said that debts are wiped out after death.  "However, if it is an overseas strategy organized by non-governmental organizations.  However, various mortgages are required. Once a person dies at sea, the mortgaged property, real estate, and even everything will be taken away.  It can be said that these supervisors went to sea.  At least there are no worries.  Otherwise, few people would dare to take the risk of involving their family.  This is also one of the benefits of the Supervisor Trial!  Li Fang and others were also attacked on the road.  Fortunately, I didn't meet any pervert who could cast the Fire Cloud Sky Curtain.  It was only after they worked hard to fight off the attackers.  Arrive at Tongcheng Port.  "It seems that those big guys are very angry at us for not letting them take advantage of us!" "No matter what, we are going to sea soon anyway. Do they have any other means to deal with it?  Can't we?" Li Fang had a bad temper and said coldly.  "What I'm afraid of now is that when we come backsigh" "This is under the auspices of the imperial court. Do these guys dare to mess around? As long as we make enough achievements, these guys really dare to mess around. I will  Go directly to the palace and discuss the matter in front of the emperor" "Hey, don't mess around. This is really going to break the truth!"  No longer directly in power.  But it still has great influence.  In the hearts of the people of Dachu, it is the last symbol of fairness.  In the previous generation, someone wrote a letter directly in front of the emperor, and finally directly overthrew a cabinet, which caused a sensation in the world.  It can also be said that if you are really forced to do this.  The masterminds behind the scenes may not be able to eat anything and just walk away.  ¡°However, this kind of thing is a dead end.  As a result, his family's future is also ruined.  After all, the emperor ignores government affairs, and no big shot in the court would like a subordinate who takes matters to his superiors.  However, they never thought of it.  Trouble has already come to your door before you even go to sea.  "What?"??Can't leave the port?  Still want to check?  "Li Fang never thought that the fleet would encounter such a problem when it was preparing to go to sea. "Recently, many people have gone to sea with contraband.  The imperial court has laws and regulations that strictly prohibit such things.  You are no exception" An officer said coldly: "You are the graduates of the Imperial College, so of course we don't dare to mess around.  However, due to limited responsibilities, you cannot go to sea without inspection!  " Li Fang was furious. He had never heard of such a thing. This system of supervising students to go to sea is valued by everyone in Da Chu. It can be said to be a way to cultivate the most elite talents for Da Chu. It can be said that where to go  It was always a green light. But I never thought that I would encounter today¡¯s troubles. According to the unspoken rules, as long as you have money and connections, you can bring anything to the sea. ¡°A Fang, don¡¯t be angry.  You can check it if you want, but there are many goods.  They were all approved by the imperial court, and even directly allocated by the Imperial College.  Even the emperor has sent things from the palace "Please take a good look at it, if it's broken."  By then, we will have a lawsuit to fight!  "Xu Yi sneered. "This" It was the turn of this group of soldiers wearing thin armor to look ugly: "Can you please make it clear that those are gifts from the emperor.  Those were set by the imperial court" Xu Yi sneered and said with his hands behind his back: "I can't remember clearly for a while.  You just check it first, and I will find out the list later" "According to tradition, Jiansheng went to sea. To show his attention, the emperor would also give something symbolic. For example, a compass, or a sword or something like that.  . There are very few things assigned by the Imperial College, and they are more symbolic. However, these things are located near the capital, and it is also the port where the prison students often go to sea, so the people there naturally know it.  In the south, there are few supervisors coming to Tongcheng Port. However, no one dares to make things difficult for him under the eyes of the imperial court. Otherwise, the Imperial College will issue a letter of impeachment.  The chief officer of Beijing and Hong Kong also had to lose his official title. Only in a place where the emperor is far away can he dare to do such a thing, which is so difficult for the king of hell to deal with. "This" The officer's expression changed again and again, and finally he changed.  Realizing that this was muddy water that he couldn't afford to wade through: "In that case, I guess there is no contraband.  I'll take my leave" Seeing the officer's face looking ugly, he led his men away in embarrassment. Not only did Xu Yi not feel proud, but he even felt worried. But Liu Yi was watching all this with cold eyes. The struggle for interests was indeed a struggle.  It's everywhere! However, the appearance of these officials and dignitaries in Da Chu seems to be too ugly In order to prevent the night from getting too long, Liu Yi did not need to go to sea on all three ships.  Someone was in charge, and Xu Yi and Li Fang were naturally inseparable from the ship. As for Fang Zihao, Captain Zhang, a third shareholder, led the team. Liu Yi never expected that Yi Zihao would be unanimously recommended by several people to lead the team.  Therefore, Liu Yi had no choice but to bring some of Wang Ranfeng's more familiar people to sit on the Yizihao. Although this was the smallest ship in the seagoing fleet, it only had more than 4,000 materials in the inland river.  It can be considered a big ship, but it is an out-and-out small ship on the sea. However, it is a unique ship! The Yi and Fang ships are both filled with various supplies.  Goods, and various supplies for travel. Da Chu has developed business, and ordinary people are also very business-minded. Not to mention that among the 30,000 Imperial College students like Xu Yi Li Fang, there are only ten elites who go to sea every year, so they consume so much.  A lot of money. So taking some goods out and selling them in various foreign vassals along the way is not a small supplement. Unfortunately, Dachu's commercial sea trade is also too developed, and it is even possible to earn several times.  The ten-fold price difference is a good thing, but there is no need to think about it. At least within nearly 10,000 miles of the sea, all the sea areas are in the territory of Da Chu. All the islands are occupied by Da Chu's outer vassals.  Among them are clans that have been enfeoffed in the past, and there are also people who have worked hard to make a fortune overseas. Among them, there are countless plantations, which were purchased by the big families in Dachu.  Continued) Chapter 12 Imperial Gift:
