I was a fan in ancient times [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 447

Yan Qiao looked at Yan Zheng and looked at Han Yi, who was also surprised. He was a little relieved, but after waiting for a long time when Han Yi didn't speak, he said cautiously: "This...it can be done, but it will cost too much, right?"

Han Yi came back to his senses at this time but said, "Not necessarily."

Yan Qiao didn't dare to refute, just shut his mouth and waited for the boss's analysis. Han Yi thought seriously and said: "There is not only one Qi State in the coastal countries, other countries are far away from Daqin, and the further south you go, the more mountain roads you will have. , It is inconvenient to come and go, but it will be much easier if you go by sea."

After hearing this, Yan Qiao couldn't hold back and said, "In the land of Nanman Baiyue, miasma is rampant and the population is sparse. Why do you want to communicate with them?"

"Well, don't say that." Han Yi shook his finger and said: "There are so many wonders in the world, that place may not be suitable for people to live in, but how do you know there is no delicious food there?"

Yan Qiao:? ? ?

Spending so much money just for the delicious food?

But... it sounds really attractive.

At their status, they have seen all kinds of delicious and fun things. If they don't have any hobbies, the focus of life will naturally shift to finding delicious and fun things.

Even a person like Yan Qiao who has his own hobbies and studies deeply cannot resist this temptation.

The main reason is that if Han Yi said something delicious, it must be really delicious.

Yan Qiao turned to look at Yan Zheng, and found that Yan Zheng was smiling, as if he knew Han Yi would say that.

That's fine, both of them agree, so it's useless for him to object, not to mention that Yan Zheng called him over obviously to use him, Yan Qiao is not afraid of having something to do, but afraid of having nothing to do.

So he directly changed his tone and asked: "Where is the port chosen? And should the ship also be improved?"

Han Yi said: "It is best to improve the ship if it can be improved. Since it is a sea trade route, it is natural that the more goods transported, the better. However, this matter is not urgent. Apart from doing business with Qi, it is necessary to do business with other countries." We have to test it first, so the first wave should not be merchant ships but warships, as for the port..."

When Han Yi said this, he turned his head and looked at Yan Zheng. He believed that since Yan Zheng had proposed it, he must have his own ideas.

Yan Zheng looked at Han Yi and asked, "What do you think about building a Furong Port in Furong County?"

Yan Zheng's choice of this place also made sense. If it was built in Furong County, then the location of Yue Island would be very convenient, not too far from the port, just enough to supply supplies.

Although this island is said to be managed by Yan Qiao, most of the planting and commerce on it are owned by Yan Zheng, oh, or it is his and Han Yi's industries.

It is good for him, of course, he must first think about Han Yi. Anyway, after the completion of this port, even if the trade benefits with other countries are not so great, there is still a country of Qi.

Han Yi thought about it carefully and slowly shook his head and said, "If we want to build a big port, it still doesn't feel right there."

It is no problem to build a small port in Furong County, but it is a silted landform after all, with a lot of sand on the coast. Such a landform will be very difficult to build a port in later generations, let alone this era.

Yan Zheng knew that Han Yi's objection must be justified, so he asked, "What do you think is appropriate?"

Han Yi lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Yuyang County!"

Yan Zheng didn't say anything after he finished speaking, Yan Qiao was startled: "So far? Yuyang County is in Yandi, how can it be suitable for building a port there?"

Han Yi said with certainty: "There must be a more suitable place than Furong County. If you don't believe me, send someone to see it."

He couldn't explain the landform to Yan Qiao. The sedimentary landform is definitely not suitable for building a port, but the erosive landform is very suitable.

But what he said couldn't explain where he knew these two concepts, so he could only tell them that this place was very suitable.

Of course that place is suitable. Yuyang County is not well-known, but there is a port there that has a great reputation in later generations-Tianjin Port.

Of course, if Han Yi were to choose, he might give priority to the port that is a little further south, but unfortunately those good places are basically in the hands of Qi State now, and Yuyang County is the best place he can think of.

Since Han Yi said so, Yan Zheng said, "Okay, here it is."

Although Yan Qiao still didn't quite understand it, he was tactful and didn't say much, just said: "If a port is built there, I'll have to go and have a look to improve the ship."

Although Qin State's shipbuilding industry is well developed, it is still inexperienced. Even if Yan Qiao left the relatively familiar waters of Furong County now, he would worry about whether his ship would not be able to carry it.

Han Yi said: "That place belongs to... the bay. Except for the colder winter, it is calmer than Furong County at other times. However, cargo ships have to sail far, so you still have to be careful. Take your time. This matter It’s not something that can be done overnight, just settle the business with Qi State first.”

Han Yi's idea is that if he goes south, he must lead the team. After all, other people in Qin may not know as much about the south as he does these days. Of course, this understanding is limited to certain foods.

But for the food, he has to lead a team to go there himself, but in order to avoid Yan Zheng's objection, he didn't say this sentence. Anyway, it will take time to build a port and improve the cargo ship. I'm afraid he may not be able to do it when he comes back from Qi. Done.

Thinking of this, Han Yi suddenly felt a little strange. Yan Zheng never paid much attention to business matters.

This is also in line with the current people's point of view, businessmen are the bottom and the least concerned.

Han Yi mentioned the treatment of merchants when he was discussing economic law with Yan Zheng before, and doing business with Qi is also an expedient measure, which is left to the people below. Why did he suddenly mention maritime trade routes?

Han Yi looked at Yan Zheng and said, "You're wrong."

Yan Qiao on the side was a little dazed, while Yan Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Han Yi asked, "What else do you want to do at this port?"

Yan Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "What else can I do?"

Han Yi said, "You must have other plans!"

Yan Qiao shrank his neck immediately, feeling that Han Yi was the only one in Daqin who dared to say that about his brother.

Of course, Yan Zheng didn't care, he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about the cargo ship, let's try to improve the warship first."

battleship?Battleship!

Han Yi suddenly realized, he looked at Yan Zheng and asked in a low voice, "Are you planning to land from the port?"

Yan Zheng asked: "Do you think the king of Qi will not think of it?"

Han Yi thought about it carefully. Feng Wo brought many documents from Qi before, and he declared that he wanted to read them on the road.

At that time, everyone in Qi State was laughing at him, why did he work so hard when he was no longer the prime minister?

But in fact, Feng Wo handed over all the materials after I came to Daqin, and Yan Zheng also handed over the materials to the people below for research. Of course, he and Han Yi must each have a copy.

At this time, Han Yi discovered that although Qi State is very developed in sea fishing, their warships don't seem to be particularly advanced.

In many aspects, it is not as good as Yan Qiao's fleet. Although it is difficult for Daqin to build a second fleet of Yan Qiao's fleet, it is still possible to get a second-class fleet, at least better than Qi's.

Looking at it this way, it is not impossible to land by sea, and Qi Guo must not have guessed that Qin Congress would choose the sea route.

Han Yi thought of this and said: "First of all, we must determine how much information Qi has on us, especially about warships."

"Not much." Yan Zheng said, "They don't know about Ah Qiao's research over the years."

Qi Guo may subconsciously think that Yan Qiao is the son who was assigned, and the saying of being obsessed with researching shipbuilding seems to be to save his life and win Yan Zheng's trust.

So from top to bottom, Qi State never thought that Yan Qiao really had the strongest fleet in Qin Dynasty.

Yan Qiao also understood what his brother meant at this time, and was immediately extremely excited.

As a man, who doesn't have the dream of smashing the battlefield?

Once he goes by sea, there will definitely be a place for him.

Yan Qiao is gearing up and plans to go back and study hard. He has already married and will have children after he has a wife. He always thinks about his children and leaves some political assets for them.

Han Yi looked at Yan Qiao's appearance as if he was bleeding from chicken blood, smiled slightly and said, "Well, the next task of Mrs. Gongshu is to help you improve the warship. You husband and wife partners must work hard."

Yan Qiao laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and was going to go back to tell Gong Shuqing the good news. Before that, he had been worried that the husband and wife would live in different places in the future. Now that it's all right, he can bring his wife there!

Yan Zheng felt his eyes hurt when he saw Yan Qiao's smirk. Of course, it was more of jealousy. After all, Yan Qiao and Gong Shuqing lived together, but he and Han Yi were about to separate.

It's a pity that no matter how jealous Yan Zheng is, Han Yi still walks at his own pace.

On the first day of March, Han Yi took people back to Han County directly. When Han Yan went to pick up Han Yi, he was obviously relieved.

As a result, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Han Yi said: "Report all the recent events, and I will leave for a while after dealing with it."

Han Yan:? ? ? ? ?

Want to leave?How many days did Han Yi stay in Han County all year round?

However, Han Yi didn't care about his thoughts. After dealing with the matter of spring plowing and spring weeping, he took Long Qie's Long Bairen directly to Qi State in secret.

At that time, Feng Wo had already returned to Qi State, and agreed with Han Yi on the location.

It's just that when Han Yi got there and sent someone to look for Fengwo, he found that Fengwo, who should have arrived earlier than him, didn't come!

Feng Wo didn't come, but the servant boy beside him was sent over. After verifying his identity, the servant boy was brought in front of Han Yi.

Han Yi asked, "What happened? Why didn't I, Feng, come?"

The servant boy took a sneak look at Han Yi, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Prime Minister, the prime minister was left in the palace by the Queen Mother and couldn't get away. Send me to report to the Lord."

Han Yi: What's the situation?
