    As he watched, these evil spirits began to spread in this port city with a population of at least hundreds of thousands.  A strange smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Liu's mouth.  However, Lewis¡¯s attention soon turned to several churches.  That church, in Liu's eyes, shone with a faint brilliance.  But it protected a large part of the city.  Liu Yi showed a smile, then turned around and returned to his bed.  The next day, early in the morning, the attentive Trek was already waiting in the hotel early.  And there was another guy coming with him.  It is said that his name is Remag, and he works as a foreman in a medium-sized shipyard.  It is said that he is quite trusted by his boss!  "Have you eaten yet? Let's eat some together!" Liu Yi said unhurriedly.  In fact, there is no need to ask, just seeing these two guys coming so early, you will know.  Liu Yi is not in a hurry, the funding problem has not been resolved yet.  I just ate a simple breakfast and asked about many things in the shipyard.  This Lemag is indeed very proficient in ships, and he knows all kinds of ships very well.  Tell Lewis that it is best to buy a steamboat now.  Because steam ships are the mainstream direction of ship development now, while wooden sailing ships will fall behind sooner or later.  And, more importantly, steamships took up more money.  Therefore, it is easier for the boss to lower the price a little more.  Liu Yi told these two guys that as long as they can help him buy a cheap and good ship, the bounty will not be a problem when the time comes.  The two were overjoyed, and Lemag invited Liu to go to the shipyard to see the ship.  And please ask Liu Yi not to reveal the identity of the buyer for the time being.  This is the best way to fish in troubled waters.  Originally, a steamship had to buy tens of thousands of gold cakes in Dachu.  And it¡¯s still priceless.  There is only a theoretical price and no takeout at all!  ¡°In a place like Liying, I don¡¯t know if the technology is more mature.  In short, the price is much lower than Dachu.  However, it still takes 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins to buy one. ? This is still the result of the recent price collapse, if not.  Then the price would have to be at least three to five thousand gold coins more expensive.  Such a big business.  Of course, it cannot be negotiated in a day or two.  Liu Yi told them that this period of time.  It's like being hired by yourself.  Give them a high salary of one gold coin a month!  This is an extremely attractive high salary, which immediately made the two poor people cry with gratitude.  I vowed to serve my boss Liu well.  This made Liu Yi quickly realize that in Liying, the purchasing power of gold far exceeded that of Dachu.  No wonder steamboats are sold so cheaply!  You must know that the weight of a piece of gold cake in Dachu is about a little more than one hundred grams.  But Li Ying's gold coins were at most one-fifth of the gold cake, about twenty grams.  A steamship costs only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is equivalent to one-third of the theoretical price of Dachu.     so.  Liu Yicai said why is the price so cheap?  But now that I think about it, in terms of the purchasing power of gold, Li Ying is much higher than Da Chu.  The reason is that Dachu is too vast.  Between one and two thousand years, there was an unknown amount of gold imported from various foreign vassals.  Even two hundred years ago, it was a birthday celebration for the emperor at that time.  Genglaoyuan even proposed to build a golden hall directly Of course, it was rejected by the emperor.  This is too vulgar But, you can know it.  How much gold does Dachu have?  With more gold, the purchasing power will naturally decrease.  Just like if more banknotes are issued, inflation will naturally occur.  Now it seems that Li Ying¡¯s gold purchasing power.  It is about half to double that of Da Chu.  Too detailed numerical comparisons lack investigation.  There are no models either.  It's hard to figure out.  However, knowing this is almost enough for Liu.  Immediately, he and Trek went to the shipyard, where the plague was now rampant.  They naturally did not dare to let Liu take risks, but fortunately the shipbuilding area outside the city was huge.  With the exception of the shantytowns where workers live, the main factory areas should not be that troublesome.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Funds have stopped moving.  Now the entire factory has almost stopped working, leaving only two more than half-built ships.  Parked at the dock.  It was quiet except for a group of guards hired by the shipyard boss to guard the place.    And in fact.  In such a shipbuilding area covering an area of ??tens of miles, almost all the dozens of large and small shipyards have stopped working.  Remag was quite familiar with these guards, so he stuffed them with small gifts, just a few bottles of wine.  He told them that he had a relative who had never seen what shipbuilding was like.  So I wanted to come and have a look Regarding this, the guards let it go without even thinking about it.  Dozens of shipyards are gathered here, and it can be said that everyone has similar technologies.  There is nothing worth keeping secret.  At the moment, Liu Yi can still board the two half-built ships to take a look.  "Both of these two ships are larger than Yizihao.  One of them is a steamship, weighing more than 700 tons.  And it is very fashionable to install iron armor on key positions on the hull.  What kind of steam engine technology is used to allow this ship to run at a cruising speed of twenty-three or four knots?  The weapons also installed on it In this era, navigation is still too dangerous.  There are monsters in the sea and pirates.  Almost all ships have weapons on them.  This steamship is equipped with a steam main gun.  But they were two twenty-four-pound cannon.  The range is about 2,500 meters.  The power is quite considerable.  There are also several steam crossbows with a range of within 500 meters.  The power is pretty decent.  Of course, after all is said and done, it is still just a merchant ship, at most it is an armed merchant ship.  The firepower is actually average.  There¡¯s not much to see!  "The other sailboat also has a displacement of about a thousand tons.  However, Liu was not very fond of this ship.  After Liu Yi saw the ship, he didn't express much opinion.  According to Remag's estimate, it was only around 18,000.  You can capture such a ship.  It can even be cheaper.  But when he saw that Liu didn¡¯t speak, he knew that he was not very satisfied with the ship.  The steamships commanded by Xu Yi and Li Fang both had a displacement of at least 1,200 tons.  It was almost half the size of the one in front of me.  Seeing that Liu was not satisfied with the ship.  Remag and the two seemed even happier.  I also feel a heavy responsibility.  Now I took Liu Yi to the factory area and looked at the docks of various shipyards.  There are all kinds of ships inside.  Some of them have even been built already.  However, due to the bankruptcy of the original owner, he could not afford the final payment and had to park it in the dock.  However, more often than not, it¡¯s because of the same reason.  It is a ship that can only be built halfway and then stopped.  Liu Yi did fancy a few pretty good ships, however.  Although I want to buy a boat.  But he can still take out the dozens or hundreds of gold coins he has on him.  If you really spend tens of thousands of gold coins to buy a ship, then you have to go to Xu Yi and others for help.  On the contrary, in the past few days.  The plague spread more and more fiercely, and people gradually began to die in the originally safe urban area.  An uneasy commotion began to spread throughout the city.  On this day, after Liu Yi saw the ship.  Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a person coughing among the guards staying in the shipyard.  Suddenly black blood spurted out.  People around were stunned, and then they ran away frantically.  Let this person lie on the ground, vomiting blood.  Even cramps.  ¡°At this moment, even Trek and Remag are changing their expressions.  They were no strangers to this situation, it was some kind of plague that had been prevalent recently.  Just as they pinched their noses and hurriedly ran away, Liu Yi strode over.  Trek was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he shouted: "Boss, boss. Don't go there, it's a plague" Liu Yi turned around and smiled: "Don't worry about me, I'm a doctor." He went over to check it out.  The patient's condition makes Wei Wei a little frightened.  The man vomited black blood.  Apparently, the internal organs were also damaged.  This looks like a plague.  Three points more powerful than I imagined.  He pretended to take out a medicine from his arms and gave it to the person to take.     However.  Actually.  But he used a trace of the divine power in the divine pool to swim around the patient's body.  Many black auras invisible to the naked eye were driven into the air.  After a while, the patient was panting violently like a cow.  However, he no longer vomited blood.  "What's going on, boss" After all, Lewis was the big sponsor of Trek and the two of them, so they had to be bold enough to come and check.   "He fainted." Liu Yi said lightly: "But he can't die anymore" The two of them were doubtful and looked at the patient lying on the ground motionless.  Some believe it again.  You must know that people who contract this plague will not die immediately even if they vomit black blood.  It often takes two or three days to suffer. The pain before death is extremely painful, and the appearance after death is also quite terrifying.  But no matter what, this guy has finally calmed down.  It shouldn't be a sudden death.  At this moment, someone pointed at the sea and shouted: "Look, look" There were many dark shadows of ships on the horizon, which was not surprising.  Everyone knows that Myron is a big port.  Even if Rush is lost, this place is still extremely prosperous.  I don¡¯t know how many ships come and go every day.  However, this fleet appears different.  A large number of seabirds gathered in the sky, like dark clouds.  Such a weird situation makes anyone know that something is wrong just by taking a glance at it.  An old worker shouted: "Could it be a ghost ship?" It seemed that everyone had thought of something.  His face became extremely ugly.  Liu Yi¡¯s head turned and he thought of what they were afraid of.  I was afraid that with so many seabirds gathering over the fleet, everyone on board might have died.  It's all densely packed with corpses, so why are there so many seabirds gathering to peck at them?  This fleet is quite large, with hundreds of ships.  However, there were only sailing ships, but no steamships.  Fortunately, the appearance of these ships is very familiar.  Exactly Li Ying's style.  Following the current, it drifted towards the nearby waters.  Apparently, people in distant ports also saw this strange fleet, which seemed to be dispatching warships.  Be prepared to test it out.  "Look, look" In the shipyard, a guy holding a telescope shouted: "Isn't that ship the God Bless Our King? Why is it here" As soon as this word spread,  There was dead silence all around.  Liu Yi saw fear on the faces of everyone around him.  "What's going on?" Liu Yi asked.  He can naturally see clearly that there is a particularly huge sailing ship in the fleet in the distance.  Almost all weigh three to four thousand tons.  It¡¯s hard to imagine that a ship that purely uses wind power would have such a tonnage.  Therefore, the appearance of this ship is very eye-catching.  Come to think of it, this ship will also be very famous.  "This is a battleship. It has been trapped in Rushfor more than half a year. God, are all those devils on this fleet" Presumably the distant ports also saw something, quick reaction  .  More than a dozen warships, all billowing thick smoke, went to intercept them.  However, in the sky above the fleet, countless seabirds seemed to be alarmed, screamed, and then rushed towards the port like sharp arrows.  For a time, the sky was overwhelming, almost like dark clouds blocking the sun.  But at this moment, a golden light shot out from a church somewhere in the city.  Then he saw a knight covered in golden armor, holding a big sword in his hand, standing in front of these seabirds.  He waved the sword in his hand and raised his shield high, emitting golden light and blocking the dark clouds.  However, each seabird shot past like a sharp arrow.  Hitting the golden light, there was a chirp, flesh and blood exploded, and feathers flew into the air.  "It's the Knight of God" People cheered, as if they sensed something.  Everyone cheered and prayed.  This strange fleet below made no sound from the beginning to the end.  It even followed the wind and current, and crashed directly into the warship.  "Boom" All the warships began to fire, bombing these ships.  Planks of wood were flying around for a while.  The fleet that mysteriously returned from Rush has made no movement from beginning to end.  Let the warships in Merun Port bombard you indiscriminately.  As a result, many merchant ships parked in the port suddenly became bolder.  They all came out one after another to help the battleships, pouring firepower on the strange fleet.  This inexplicable war lasted almost until dusk.  With the sinking of the last strange ship, the warships and the merchant ships that helped returned home with satisfaction.  But the knight in mid-air only spent less than half an hour.  It had swept away all the birds in the air, but not a single one was left.  (To be continued)
