    Hundreds of years ago, it was a very profitable investment.  But now, it¡¯s good to be able to maintain capital and operate.  It can only be used as a place for those families to go to sea for vacation and recuperation.  There is no other reason. Da Chu has such a vast territory.  All kinds of supplies are really abundant.  ¡°Spices that were originally rare treasures from overseas can now be enjoyed by ordinary people in Dachu on a daily basis.  There is even a further downward trend.  In this way, these plantations will be even less profitable!  In another world, during the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that a bucket of rice was only worth three or four coins.  As for Dachu, it is the vast desert north, where only cattle and sheep are born.  In those places, a bucket of rice cost only three or four dollars.  Thinking of this, Liu Yi showed a wry smile.  From the perspective of small farmer economy, this is naturally a good thing.  But Lewis naturally knew that this was the beginning of a large-scale economic crisis.  The Great Chu court had already seen through all this.  In recent years, it has made every effort to develop the military industry.  From time to time, he would fight with the enemy on the other side.  A large-scale war is brewing, and a large amount of materials will be consumed in the war.  Solve the problem.  This is a famous saying from Taizong Fan Yi that all internal problems can be solved through external expansion.  All contradictions are contradictions of uneven distribution, not uneven distribution, just because the number is too small.  In this case, what the rulers do is to make the quantity even greater! ???????????????? In China, large-scale construction of various types is also underway.  The telegraph network connecting the entire empire was almost completed.  And railways, highways, etc. are also under construction in full swing.  Especially a railway that spans thousands of miles, from the Black Sea Protectorate in the far north of the empire to the Tianfang Protectorate in the far west, with a total length of more than 10,000 miles, will be opened to traffic this year.  At that time, the imperial court¡¯s influence and control over the vassal towns outside the Great Wall would be even more strengthened.  And all this is just a microcosm of the times.  Although we went out to sea, other than getting seasick along the way, we didn¡¯t encounter much trouble.  Basically, follow the route.  Along the way, every few days, we would encounter the ports of various vassal towns overseas in Da Chu.  From time to time, you can encounter passenger ships and merchant ships coming and going.  Even Da Chu¡¯s battleship.  Originally, at this time, everyone was very relaxed.  Except for some unlucky guys who went to sea for the first time and vomited all over the place.  Liu Yi naturally had no problems, but after the fifth day at sea, he felt the danger.  Especially this day, after I had just replenished supplies at Shunfeng Port and set off again.  "What's wrong?" Wang Ran seemed to be the first to notice that Liu was a little uneasy.  All the while looking around on the deck.  Liu Yi held a monocular telescope and kept observing the situation at sea.  At this moment, he handed the telescope to Wang Ran and asked him to see it by himself. ? ? Several black spots appeared in the telescope, which were too far to see clearly.  "It seems to be a ship" Wang Ran said.  "These ships have been following us for a long time." Liu Yi said.  "You mean?" Wang Ran gasped with a hiss, "Could it be that these are pirates" In the vast sea, pirates will naturally never be missing.  But to be able to encounter them just after leaving Shunfeng Port is too weird, right?  Liu Yi shook his head: "It's hard to say, let's take a look. Inform the other two ships!" Soon, following the flag, the news was notified to the other two ships.  Although this is Xu Yi¡¯s first time going to sea, the sailors and even the captains on these ships have all grown up and have sailed at sea.  Faced with this situation, the only suggestion is to speed up.  The sea is huge, so fortunately there are no coordinates.  If two ships were several miles apart, it would be a simple matter for them to pass by each other out of sight.  The ships behind, no matter whether they are malicious or not.  But as long as they are out of sight, it couldn't be easier to get rid of them.  Sure enough, as the fleet accelerated.  Soon the black shadow in the distance was completely thrown out of sight.  A faint feeling of danger finally disappeared in Liu Yi's heart.  This is not surprising, there is another world, until the World War II era, when radar was just starting.  If two fleets in the sea want to meet together, the only thing they can rely on is luck.  Not to mention now!  However, Liu ignored one point.  This world is different from the other world.   There is Taoism in this world!  Soon, Liu felt a sharp edge on his back, as if there was a sharp gaze looking at him.  In mid-air, a black dot was circling and dancing.  I don¡¯t know what kind of seabird it is.  But that feeling of being watched comes from it.  "Seeking death!" Liu Yi snorted coldly: "Find a way to shoot this bird down." Following the flag, the three ships approached quickly.  Then as Wang Ran cast a spell, a burst of mist emerged.  All three ships were completely wrapped in it.  The bird couldn¡¯t see clearly, so it lowered its altitude and hovered above the fog to observe.  Seeing this scene, no one¡¯s face looks good.  Even a fool would know that someone had decorated it.  Liu Yi raised the big bow in his hand and instantly locked onto the seabird.  As if sensing the danger, the seabird immediately fluttered its wings.  However, at this moment, the weapons equipped on the steamer opened fire.  The weapons equipped in naval battles are extremely powerful.  There are even steam-propelled crossbows and projectiles.  Especially this kind of steamship is extremely powerful.  In an instant, a monster-like roar was heard.  This is the loud sound of steam being released, a puff of white gas.  Countless projectiles were shot into the air, as if forming a large net in the sky.  The seabird didn¡¯t even have time to scream, before it exploded into a ball of meat paste in mid-air.  Liu Yi took back the big bow in his hand, although it was from Qin Shiyue's memory.  I know how powerful these steamships are, but after all, I don¡¯t feel the same way.  Now that I see it with my own eyes, Liu Yi still feels something.  "It is said that Dachu's steam boilers don't seem to burn coal and oil." Liu Yi thought to himself, this is probably an alternative technology tree in this world, right?  The thorn in the side was eliminated and the fog dissipated.  The fleet accelerated again.  Although Fangzihao and Yizihao are just ordinary sailing ships.  And not a steamship.  However, the ship types are quite advanced and the speed is not too slow.  According to another world, it has a speed of more than ten or twenty knots.  Although it is not as good as the clipper ship, it is not bad.  This time, since I am being targeted.  The fleet changed its course.  The sea is vast, now that someone is staring at it.  It must have been at the port. If someone had deliberately planned it, it must have been done at Tongfeng Port.  This time they changed their course and passed several seaports without entering.  Across the waterway away from home, the harbor and islands begin to become sparse.  Naturally, the fleet has completely entered the ocean.  It can be said that the dragon has completely entered the sea.  After so many days of sailing, most people have adapted to the wind and waves on the sea.  Those who choose to go to sea are either experts or strong people.  The adaptability is good.  After sailing for dozens of days, we finally arrived at COSCO Port.  This is one of the most important supply ports in the ocean.  It is also one of the most important ports in Da Chu. Although it is a feudal vassal of a certain foreign vassal, the imperial fleet is also stationed here.  After so many days of sailing, everyone is exhausted physically and mentally.  When we arrived at COSCO Port, except for the necessary people, everyone else went ashore to have a casual carnival.  Liu Yi originally planned to stay on the ship, but was invited by Xu Yi and Li Fang.  "This place is the safest. This is where the Dachu fleet is stationed. Who dares to mess around here? Take a walk. It's been so hard along the way, so the most important thing is to go out and relax!" Liu Yi thought about it, but it made the same sense.  Just nodded and agreed.  This place is already a typical tropical sea area with excellent beach scenery.  It's just that the port is in a mess, crowded with all kinds of messy buildings.  There are countless places for leisure and entertainment for those who go to sea, and the business is very prosperous.  People like Xu Yi naturally look down on those low-level places where low-level people spend their time.  Familiar with the familiarity, he took Liu Yi to another place. At this time, it was evening, and the sea water took on a light blue and transparent color like glass.  There are coconut trees planted everywhere on the shore. At night, the sea breeze blows and it is extremely comfortable.  At a place by the sea, an authentic Dachu-style brothel was built with one side erected.  "That's okay. Isn't this your first time going to sea?" Liu Yi asked curiously.  ¡°Although it¡¯s our first time here, Captain En is already a veteran!¡± Xu Yi laughed.  It seems that when you relax all of a sudden, it is especially easy to let people go wild.  That Captain En is the captain of the steamship.  All in all, it still belongs to the university??Navy division.  Just like the steamship, the sailors and other people on the ship were all lent to them by the imperial court for the use of the Imperial College's supervisors.  ¡°I¡¯ve been here a few times before, but the cost here is too expensive. When I first served, I didn¡¯t have so much money in my pocket¡± Captain En smiled faintly, and his words made everyone laugh.  This time when we went to sea, Xu Yili Fang was responsible for the salaries of all the captains and sailors on the ship.  And at least, it is more than ten times what it was when he served in their army.  Captain En is about forty years old and has almost reached the age of taking a back seat.  But that¡¯s when experience comes.  This should probably be his last ocean voyage. Instead of retiring, he will accept employment from some private boat companies and do some offshore sailing.  That is, as an instructor, enter the sea school.  "Don't worry, you know that this money is your pension. We will keep it for you. A Fang and I paid for the expenses this time!" Xu Yi's words made everyone around him look happy.  Those who can be in this small circle are the senior leaders of the fleet.  There were less than ten people in total.  And this fleet, with three ships combined, has more than 270 people.  Captain En smiled and said: "Then I'm welcome, the cost of Sihailou here is really not low!" Li Fang waved his hand: "Wait for the next person to find two fans, don't save us money!"  Gao, you can¡¯t be stingy at this time.  We have been in the same boat all the way to this point, and there is still more than half of the journey ahead.  It¡¯s time to lift people¡¯s spirits.  Liu Yi smiled faintly and looked at the brilliant lights of the port from a distance.  Think about it, you have traveled thousands of miles along the way.  All of them are in the area of ??Dachu.  And this entire huge empire of Dachu, such an incredibly powerful empire has never appeared in another world.  It was shaped by my own hands.  A touch of pride and loss.  It came to my mind for no reason.  With the vicissitudes of life, everything seems to have changed.  But the foundation he built with his own hands is still there and continues to grow stronger.  Born without, do not sting for, and live with it. ????????????????????????????????????? Out of the way, we walked towards Sihai Tower.  It's just a piece of powdery sweetness.  Countless women came out to welcome these wealthy overseas visitors.  ??Putting it in the blessed land of Dachu, this Sihai Tower is naturally not considered first-rate.  When those dignitaries and poets saw it, they felt that their taste was a bit vulgar. ??????????????????????????? However, it has been so long to keep sailing here.  Thousands of miles away from Dachu, it is already very rare to find the Pinjin Cave with such an authentic Dachu flavor.  "For these people who have been holding back for so long, those kinds of poems and songs are hard to resist.  Of course it's all nonsense.  It¡¯s better to come more relaxed!  Immediately he entered the building and first called the banquet table.  There was a beautiful lady sitting next to me waiting on me.  "Dear guests, you have come just in time. In the past few days, a batch of fresh goods have arrived at our Sihai Tower. They are all blond and blue-eyed beauties snatched from the other side" Before he could finish his words, everyone was immediately yelled at.  They were interested and shouted: "Bring people up quickly, bring people up quickly" Captain En smiled and said: "Although there are some enchantresses in Middle-earth, except for the top-notch goods, they are shipped to the houses of those big shots.  , or the top brothels like the Eight Buildings in Beijing. The enchantresses seen in other places in China are just third-rate goods!  At that time, I went to Deyilou, and there were a group of women from the far north. Their skin was as white as snow, but their eyes were as blue as the sea water outside" "Hu Ji from Tianfang is also here.  Yes, these beauties from the other side will not be missed. When I was in Lingzhou, I saw many Hu Ji who were especially good at singing and dancing. Their waists were even slimmer and their thighs were slender.  I know" A group of people were laughing and chatting about women.  No more barriers.  Within a moment, a dozen so-called beauties were sent up.  All of them have slender bodies, and most of them have golden hair.  Green eyes.  However, the most eye-catching thing is these enchantresses with their pointed ears.  Very different from ordinary people.  "Hey, why are these beauties different from what I saw?" Xu Yi asked curiously.  "Yes, yes. Although the enchantress we saw in the capital has blond hair and blue eyes, she is similar to the Orchid from Tianfang. Why are these so weird? However, it seems that there are other wonderful things" r1152
