Daqin: Prince Wushuang, Flattening the Confucian School at the Start
Chapter 158 The first emperor visits Sanghai
"No wonder you, Changfeng, attaches so much importance to navy, the convenience of water transportation is indeed far superior to land!"
"If it was in the past, it would take at least a month to reach Sanghai City from Xianyang City.
"Moreover, the load capacity of this fleet is far from being comparable by land!"
"Changfeng, what you said before, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Now Father Father has finally understood it!"
Seeing the sails flying high and endlessly into the sea, I can't help but feel the victory.
"The biggest shortcoming of water transportation is that the initial investment is too large, and the subsequent annual maintenance costs will also be high."
"Although the focus of my Daqin today is the Southern Grand Canal, this river transport to Sanghai has also invested as much as 200,000 Peacock dynasty coolie and tens of millions of dollars to completely dredge the annual operating expenses. , Are also more than one million dollars."
"However, the revenue is also considerable. Since the opening of the Dahe route, the monthly business tax has increased by more than 10%. The business tax collected by Sanghai last month has exceeded three million!"
Win Changfeng smiled slightly.
"A port, three million dollars a month?"
Even the first emperor, after hearing about Sanghai City's business tax, his pupils couldn't help but shrank sharply.
In the past few years, this is the sum of the taxes of all counties and counties in Daqin.
"The main reason is that the Grand Canal has not yet been completed. The sea trade fleet that departs from Xianyang City basically takes the river to Sanghai City into the sea!"
Ying Changfeng explained: “Although it takes more than a thousand miles to go around this way, it is only two or three days of work for sea transportation, and it saves the trouble of repeatedly changing land and water routes. In fact, it is faster and faster. Province!
"According to the statistics of the tax collectors in Sanghai City, on average, one seagoing ship can get 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in profit when arriving in the southern area of the Maurya Dynasty, and 50,000 yuan in the northern part of the Maurya Dynasty. If it can reach the Seleucid area, it will be 100,000. Money is nothing!"
"And with good luck, I will go back and forth with the wind and the water, which is about two months of work. Now the son and father understand why these merchants are eager to sea trade, and the children should open the sea vigorously!"
The advantage of having the first emperor as a backing is that the first emperor’s vision is extremely broad, his understanding ability is also very strong, and he is more daring to forge ahead and change.
To win Changfeng, you only need a little guidance to get the maximum effect, and then you can be the prince of salted fish comfortably.
"You!"
"Do you have the heart to look at your father, who is so old and still working day and night?"
Seeing Ying Changfeng's triumphant smile, Ying Zheng knew the thoughts of this son, and couldn't help laughing.
"Emperor father is still very young, and now he seems to be strong and strong, and the sons and ministers have to learn a lot from the emperor!
Win Changfeng quickly turned off the topic.
"You kid!
Emperor Shi shook his head with a smile, and there was also a touch of paternal kindness in the eyes of Ying Changfeng.
Forget it, proud of this kid's god pill, his condition is indeed a lot better, so let's help him for a few more years.
Moreover, the first emperor also knew that the reason why Changfeng had always refused to succeed to the throne was also that his father, the emperor, completely surpassed the three emperors and five emperors.
Between father and son, there is no need for excessive words.
After half a month,
More than one hundred thousand people from various counties and counties in Daqin, as well as envoys from various countries, once again gathered at the port of Sanghaicheng to witness Daqin. It was also the first ship viewing ceremony in history.
Thanks to the unremitting publicity of the "Daqin Pictorial", although most of the people of Daqin today still live in the inland, they have gradually felt the convenience of water transportation, and they are not ignorant of the endless sea.
More importantly, this ship-reading style and the proposal to open the sea were put forward by countless people of the Great Qin Dynasty who worshipped Changfeng as a faith. People who have won Changfeng's grace subconsciously would choose to believe it.
Not to mention more, just more and more goods but reduced, and more and more employment positions, enough to let hundreds of people feel the benefits of the Grand Canal and the sea.
Although the people are simple, they are not stupid. Every time they win Changfeng, the benefits they get are tangible. Naturally, there is no reason not to support them.
The envoys of various countries were even more stunned.
When they were still using dirt roads even in the country, and when it rained, the sludge would fill the sky, the people of Daqin were already building the mellow soil to ram the Qin Zhidao that extends in all directions.
When they first started to exchange bricks and stones for the palace, Daqin people had already replaced them with Sanhe soil;
When they haven't figured out the principle of Daqin people's sanhe soil, Daqin people are already building the Grand Canal;
When they were still shocked by the grandeur of the Grand Canal, the people of Daqin were already conquering the vast sea!
Such a big difference really makes the envoys of various countries a little suspicious of life!
Many envoys who were a little superstitious even began to speculate that if Da Qin continued to develop in this way, one day he would become a god and directly ascend the immortal world!
After all, when the gods and mortals in their mythology were mortal, they were far from Da Qin's merits.
Even the place where their gods live is far from the prosperity of Da Qin!
Especially Seleucid IV was the most excited.
To be honest, this time when he agreed to such a yielding condition, Seleucus IV also underwent great pressure, and even the crown prince was let out!
If Daqin people can't save Seleucid in the future, he can't imagine the end of own.
However, now that I have seen the sails of the Daqin that cover the sky and the sun continuously on the entire river, Seleucus IV has been convinced that what the Prince Daqin said to open the Seleucus sea route is definitely true.
Not to mention many, just because all the ships seen on this big river are mobilized, they can carry hundreds of thousands of people at one time.
Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of Qin cavalry regiments that have occupied Parthia, defeating Ptolemy and the Romans, it is really not that difficult.
Thousands of people entered the Sanghai City military port with different minds, and they were completely shocked.
A huge ship with a length of more than thirty feet and a width of about ten feet, with a five-story tall ship on the deck, slowly came into view.
Just with the densely packed giant crossbows displayed on both sides of the ship building, you can imagine what a miserable ending will be if you unfortunately encounter such a battleship!
The simple boats currently used by the navy of various countries, even if they can escape the crossbow and arrow and approach the Daqin battleship, they still can't reach the other boat gangs when they jump up, only to be beaten by the people!
As for collisions, this tactic has always been the ship that has the greater advantage, and the total of ten of their broken ships may not be as heavy as the Daqin people!
Once confronted, it is not fighting at all, but pure abuse!
Many people couldn't help but scolded in their hearts. Relying on the powerful and large number of cavalry, the Daqin people are already on the land and they are too late, making all countries envy, jealous and hate.
As a result, at this water station, Da Qin was even more advanced than the land warfare!
You must know that the current navy of various countries can only toss in the rivers, and they dare not enter the sea of wind and rain backtesting.
And Daqin's sea trade fleet has already reached Seleucid thousands of miles away, and the entire sea is now full of Daqin people's sails!
"One, two, three, fifty ships/"!"
"Such a super big ship that can be called a giant, Daqin people actually have a full fifty!"
". "As for those small warships, I can't see how many there are!"
"When the Roman fleet defeated Carthage in the past, I was already amazed, but compared with the great Qin people, the two together were not big enough for the Qin navy!"
"Whether it is quantity or quality, it is not a level at all!"
"This Great Qin is too terrible, right?"
"Are they going to fill up the sea with a giant ship?"
"Da Qin, how strong is it!"
The envoy wailed in despair.
"Everyone, you are wrong, these five-tier giant ships in front of you are just the second-class battleships of Da Qin!"
"Their real main force has not yet appeared. That is the real focus of today's ship review!!
A Loulan envoy flaunted triumphantly.
With the smooth advancement of Loulan's internal attachments, these Loulan envoys have also received preferential treatment from Daqin, and now they have become non-staff members of the Daqin Dian Guest Office. After they are fully integrated, they can formally join the Dian Guest Office.
Looking at this group of colleagues in the past, naturally they became extremely excited.
You used to look down on my Loulan, but now my Loulan is backed by Da Qin, and you will be looking up in the future!
"Such a huge ship is actually only a second-class battleship. How exaggerated is the true main force of the Daqin people?"
The envoys looked at each other, it was impossible to outline in their minds, they looked like a behemoth that was one level larger than the five-toothed giant ship in front of them.
That is not a sea ship, but a city on the sea, right?
Daqin people, is this really going to kill the gods?
"To what extent has Da Qin's national power become so strong?"
"Even this vast sea area can't stop the advancement of Daqin people at all!"
The envoys were stunned, unable to believe Own Eyes.
You know, this is only Sanghai City, just a port in Daqin.
It is said that the largest shipyard in Daqin is not here, but in Lingnan, which is closer to the Maurya Dynasty and Seleucid, a thousand miles away.
However, here, there is such a terrible fleet, so with all the strength of the Daqin people, I am afraid that it is not really going to fill the sea with the giant ship?
As far as they know, there are already dozens of ports planned for Daqin, and there are countless shipyards.
If all are put into use, shipbuilding together:
Everyone can't imagine the terrible degree.
Da Qin is really terrible!
This is strong enough to make everyone completely desperate!
However, when another news came out, all the envoys were once again dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time!
Da Qin really doesn't know how to describe it anymore!
