Chapter 450 Sailing
……

Two days later

After receiving the message, Mi Zhu rushed to Qu County, Donghai County.

Seeing the brand-new Quxian in front of me, I was filled with emotion.

After meeting Xu Fei, the latter directly took him to the salt workshop.

"Mi Zheng, you came too late. I can't even store enough salt here."

"Let's see how much money you can offer?"

Mi Zhu saw mountains of refined salt piled up like snowflakes.

In disbelief, I pinched a little with my fingers and put it on my tongue to taste it.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up. The taste of this salt was so pure, without any bitter taste.

Although he was moved by it, looking at such a huge amount of refined salt, he still said helplessly to Xu Fei: "This amount is really too big. Even my Mi family may not be able to eat it in a short time."

Xu Fei said nonchalantly: "It's okay, you can take it away first and then settle the bill with me after it's sold."

"Food, weapons, farm tools, cattle, sheep, horses, etc., you can also use these things to pay off debts."

Hearing these words, Mi Zhu was very excited.

I thought that my friendship with Xu Fei for so long would finally pay off.

As long as they can sell these refined salts, the Mi family will definitely make a fortune!
And there is an endless supply of these refined salts. In this case, the Mi family can even become the richest man in the world in a short period of time.

However, Mi Zhu had other thoughts at this moment.

No matter how good Potian's wealth is, it can't compare to another thing!
Secretly looking at Xu Fei in front of him!
He is strong and brave, loved by the people, sits on a territory, and has a steady stream of means to make money...

The person in front of me is clearly Qianlong Zaiyuan!

If his Mi family can seize this opportunity, it will surely soar into the sky in the future!
"Don't worry, Governor Xu, I will have the things you need delivered to you as soon as possible."

"If this can be done, that would be great!"

"The business is over. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let me buy you a drink!"

Xu Fei invites Mi Zhu to drink at the only tavern in the county

Three rounds of wine!

Mi Zhu, who had always been thinking about doing something big, said goodbye to Xu Fei and left without stopping.

from the next day

The Mi family caravans came to Qu County one after another and took away the refined salt accumulated in the salt factory bit by bit.

Two months later
Another caravan full of goods returned here

Mi Zhu also followed this caravan.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Xu Fei, but he heard from his servants that he had gone to the beach.

When Mi Zhu came to the beach, she was stunned when she saw the huge ship parked on the sea.

"Big brother~"

Mi Fang's voice came to my ears.

Following the sound, he saw that the other party was standing on the bow deck of the ship, with Xu Fei standing next to him.

With a feeling of apprehension, we walked along the wooden plank suspension bridge to the sea ship.

However, I found that although I was on a rocky sea, the ship was extremely stable, and I felt like walking on flat ground while standing on the deck.

"Big brother!"

Mi Fang stepped forward first and started chatting with her eldest brother Mi Zhu.

"Brother, this is a giant sea ship built by Governor Xu. Isn't it particularly spectacular?"

Mi Zhu nodded with emotion: "It is indeed spectacular!"

"But what is the main purpose of building such a large sea-going ship?"

"Go fishing!"

"Go fishing?"

Hearing this answer, Mi Zhu was a little confused.

Isn't it necessary to have such a large sea ship to transport troops to fight?

Marching from the sea, you can go north to Liaodong and south to Yangzhou, and the water route is much faster than the land route!
Is it a bit overkill for fishing at sea?

At this time, Xu Fei also came over to say hello: "Mi Zhizhi!"

"Governor Xu!" Mi Zhu asked, "Zifang said just now that such a large ship is for fishing. Is that true?"

Xu Fei nodded: "Yes!"

"You also know that food on land is limited, and there is simply not enough to feed so many people,"

"I built such a big sea-going ship just to go fishing and get a lot of food!"

Mi Zhu replied with a questioning look on his face: "Can I get a lot of food by going fishing at sea?"

"Hahaha~"

Hearing his question, Xu Fei couldn't help laughing.

She didn't say anything on her lips, but she was thinking secretly in her heart: After all, she has never seen the world, and her vision is restricted.

How many people can be fed with that little food grown on land?
And the food contained in this vast sea, just catch a little bit, is enough to feed the entire Han people!

"It just so happens that I'm about to go fishing in a sea boat right now. You should come with me and have a look!"

"When the time comes, I'll let you see what it means to be eye-opening!"

Mi Zhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry about this. He didn't expect that he would not be able to get off the ship after getting on the ship. He had never thought about going to sea before he came!

"Hold anchor, let's go!"

Xu Fei came to the deck, gave an order, and a group of shirtless strong men pulled up the anchor that had sunk to the bottom of the water.

Raising the sail, driven by the sea breeze, the ship slowly sailed out of the harbor and into the sea.

Behind, there were twenty small fishing boats.

Facing further and further away, seeing the coastline disappearing from sight, looking at the endless sea, Mi Zhu suddenly felt a little panicked.

"Don't be afraid when you are engaged!"

"This is the first time a sea-going ship has gone to sea. It is mainly to test its performance and will not leave the shore too far."

Accompanying Xu Fei and standing on the deck, with the sea breeze blowing in her head, Mi Zhu's nervous mood was relieved a lot.

After driving some distance.

"Fourth Zhao!"

Xu Fei turned around and called out, and Zhao Laosi, who had been lying on the side of the boat to check the underwater situation, hurriedly came to his side.

"Your Majesty!"

"In your opinion, where is the most appropriate place to launch the net?"

Zhao Laosi replied: "For the record, Lord Sheriff, we are not very far from the coast now. It will be more suitable to set off the net if we drive a little further forward."

"Ok!"

Xu Fei nodded.

After continuing to drive for some distance.

Xu Fei, who was standing on the deck, suddenly discovered that fish were constantly jumping out of the water on the sea surface around the ship.

Zhao Laosi immediately reported: "Report to the Sheriff, this is the best time to set down the net."

"According to the villain's opinion, there must be shoals of fish under the ship. The fish were frightened by the movement of the ship, so they jumped out of the water in fear."

Hearing this, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Send the order, lower the trawl!"

Following Xu Fei's order.

A dozen strong men at the stern of the ship threw the trawl nets stacked on the deck into the water little by little.

When the trawl sinks to the bottom of the sea, it travels a certain distance again.

Xu Fei ordered to be transferred back!

The ship on its way back is going against the sea wind.

Xu Fei did not order the sails to be furled.

Instead, he used Taoist magic and blew up a strong wind to blow the ship back.

Therefore, the speed of going back is much faster than when we came.

Before long, the coastline came into view.
