Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 578

As Li Mu said, let alone attacking the rest of the continents, Da Sui's ability to even reach these continents is a problem.

Regardless of the fact that the shipbuilding industry in the Sui Dynasty seemed to be quite developed, the dragon boat built by Yang Guang was also big enough.

However, due to the different purposes of inland ships and sea ships, this can be said to be two completely different things.

Since inland ships sail in rivers and lakes, the waves in these rivers and lakes are not big.Therefore, most of them are flat-bottomed boats without a keel, and even if they have a keel, the keel is very shallow.

If these inland ships with very shallow keels sail into the sea, there will only be one end, that is, capsize and sink.

Moreover, the main driving force of this inland ship is manual rolling.

It can be said that the manufacturing process of sea-going ships is completely different from that of inland ships. Sea-going ships not only need a deep keel, but are also completely powered by sails.

On the sea, if you rely on artificial crankshafts for power, damn it, even the Hulk will be exhausted to death.

So, while eating and drinking, Li Mu explained to Yang Guang the difference between Li Yifan's inland ship and sailing ship.

After explaining to Yang Guang, Li Mu said seriously, "Your Majesty, if we want to make plans for other continents, we have to start with shipbuilding!"

"First of all, it is necessary to build a sea-going ship capable of long-distance voyages. Moreover, one person must be ordered to reach these many continents first, and draw a detailed sea chart!"

"After doing this, we must be fully prepared, so that we can send troops to attack, and let the dragon flag of the Sui Dynasty be planted in every corner of the earth."

As soon as he heard Li Mu say that the dragon flags of the Sui Dynasty would be planted in every corner of the earth, Yang Guang would immediately feel relieved!
If you talk like this, it's like drinking.

Being drawn by Li Mu's circle of big pancakes, how could Yang Guang not be on top.

You know, there is a land that is hundreds of times larger than that of the Sui Dynasty. If this cannot be conquered, it will be a pity to the ancestors of the old Yang family!
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a decree to find a place along the coast to build a shipyard for the construction of sea-going ships for long-distance voyages!"

"In addition, I will open the sea in the Sui Dynasty and encourage merchants to conduct long-sea trade. At that time, we will sell the sea-going ships we build to merchants first, so that they can conduct overseas trade."

"This businessman values ​​profits, and they are willing to take risks as long as they are profitable."

"The rest of the continents are far away, and it is too risky for us to rush to send troops. I think it is better to let these businessmen get familiar with the way before we send troops!" Li Mu said to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang is also a smart person, so he immediately understood what Li Mu meant.

Even if this sea ship is built, it cannot rush to send troops.This sea is no better than land, even if hundreds of thousands of troops encounter shipwreck, the entire army will be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, without complete assurance, before the sea and land are familiar, one cannot rashly send troops.

Li Mu's method is brilliant, first build sea ships, sell them to merchants, and then ask them to wade out the sea route first.

This is equivalent to being able to receive taxes from merchants and explore safe land and sea routes.

High, it is high!

Yang Guang nodded again and again, and directed to Li Mu: "Since this is the case, then Ai Qing will be in charge."

Li Mu met Yang Guang this time, and it was a trivial matter to give Yang Guang a globe. Using the globe led to Sui's road to conquer the world!

After that, Li Mu stayed at home and spent more than a month with his wives.

Of course, for more than a month, Li Mu spent the night with his wives tenderly, so he was never idle during the day.

During the day, Li Mu has been flipping through the map of the Sui Dynasty, looking for coastal places suitable for shipbuilding.

There are many places suitable for shipbuilding, and a port that is naturally suitable for shipbuilding must be found.

After nearly a month of careful searching, Li Mu finally found a place.

Wu County, Huating County, Qinglong Town.

Qinglong Town, Huating County, Wu County, was an inconspicuous little place in the Sui Dynasty, a poor area in a corner.

Let’s just talk about this Qinglong Town. There are only a few hundred people in a town.

The hundreds of households in Qinglong Town are basically fishermen, and they make a living by fishing in the offshore.

Don't look, this Qinglong Town in Huating County was inconspicuous during the Great Sui Dynasty, but after more than 1000 years, after modern times, this Qinglong Town in Huating County would be amazing.

The location of Huating County is the economic center of China in later generations, the famous magic capital.As for Qinglong Town, it is Qingpu District.

After seeing this location, Li Mu has already made up his mind to build a shipyard here and establish a port for high-sea trade.

Li Mu wanted to make Huating County the economic and trade center of the Sui Dynasty more than [-] years in advance.

Li Mu is a man of hard work. If he talks about doing big things, he is a person who will do big things right away!

After making up his mind to transform Qinglong Town in Huating County, Li Mu immediately bid farewell to his wife and children, and took the skilled craftsmen from the household department to Huating County, Wu County.

At this time, Huating County is really remote, and the road along the way is not easy.Li Mu drove the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry for a full month, and finally came to Huating County. ,
Huating County is not the magic capital of later generations, this Huating County is now a poor scum.

Li Mu didn't exaggerate the phrase "poor scum", it is really scum.

The city wall in Huating County is very broken, the loess city wall is not high, less than two feet.Obviously, it has not been repaired for a long time, and when the wind blows, dirt and slag will fall down.

The city wall is getting smaller and smaller as the wind blows, Li Mu estimated that if the city wall is not repaired in more than ten years, it will probably be blown away.

"Clean everything up, the general is coming!"

"And you merchants along the street, the facades are all clean!"

"New clothes, put on your new Chinese New Year clothes!"

The few yamen servants in the county government beat the gong and yelled in the street.

In fact, this street is quite clean, why is it so clean, is it not clean if there are few people coming?
Huating County is full of fishermen. They live by fishing and are very poor, but because they are close to the sea, they will not die of starvation even in times of disaster!
There are very few people who come to Huating County on weekdays, but every winter, when the weather is freezing, some businessmen will come to Huating County to buy some dried seahorses!

Seahorse was an extremely precious medicinal material in ancient times. After all, where is the efficacy of this thing?

In ancient times, there were three wives and four concubines, so there was a great demand for seahorses.

As for the fish in the sea, no one wanted this thing in ancient times, mainly because it was not easy to transport.There were no refrigerated trucks in the Great Sui Dynasty, and the designated marine fish stinks when transported to the inland!
Moreover, most of the inland people are not used to the taste of sea fish.
