"The sir is still worried about the Parthian attack?" the staff officer asked Li Xin.

"Yes, we are too important here after all. I think that the Parthians must be able to cut off the railway because of the help of the Koreans. They must know the importance of the railway and the robbery of the Parthians, once they encounter bad weather and bad weather. In the event of the battle, they will pay attention to their logistics again, so that they will turn to attack us. If the rest of the people know this clearly, they will come." Li Xin said.

"In this case, we should stick to it. As long as we stick to it, we will be able to contain a large part of the Shaman military force. In this case, the Dawan army will have a new combat force. With a new combat force, it can be resolved. We have all our problems. They can rescue us," the staff officer said.

"Rescue us?" Li Xin laughed.

"Impossible." Li Xin knew very well the combat effectiveness of the Dawan army, that is, it is okay to quickly form the Dawan army to defend the mainland, but offensive. Rescue will only make the Dawan army collapse more quickly.

South Korea, Xinzheng, Admiralty.

"What's the matter with the navy? It's more lively than the vegetable market. It's so weird." A middle-aged Korean walked past the naval department. What he saw was that many wealthy businessmen arrived in beautiful carriages. Here, there are still many people who keep squeezing in. The large number of Marines cannot maintain order.

"Haha. I don't know yet." A middle-aged man at the door said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" the middle-aged man asked.

"The Admiralty wants to sell some decommissioned merchant ships to merchants. The merchants now need a large number of merchant ships, and the Admiralty also provides the convenience of transformation. The Admiralty can use these warships to transform into steamships. In this way, Can quickly develop a powerful maritime armed force." The middle-aged man said.

"Oh. It turned out to be such a thing. No wonder these people crazily squeezed into the Admiralty Department. It turned out that they had to do something like this. The more merchant ships they bought, the better. Then the Navy would have new funds to solve their problems. There is a problem with the warship." The middle-aged man said.

"Not to mention, I heard that this modified steam engine ship can be made bigger and better. Moreover, there is a bank involved next to the Admiralty, and the bank has already participated in this matter." The middle-aged man said.

Jiaozhou, Qingcheng. With the smooth progress of the South Korean Navy, South Korean shipyards began a huge wave of refitting. First of all, a large number of sailing boats in the shipyard were all suspended, and sailing boats were no longer manufactured.

Secondly, a large number of boiler equipment, especially some steam engine factories have expanded their production scale, because they suddenly discovered that the demand for steam engines has become very large, and the demand for coal has also increased.

Finally, some new technologies are also quietly used, the most important of which is the propeller. The propellers are made of bronze. Only some small and medium-sized Qin-Korea joint ventures have such technology, and a large number of shipyards have signed contracts. They buy new technologies to use on ships.

"The current ships have become new ships. I heard that the Navy Department is also actively transforming the retired warships. They will be handed over to merchants to use, and the weapons of these merchants will become extremely beneficial." A shipyard 'S manager said to the engineer. They must understand the latest technological developments. Without advanced technology, it is difficult for them to solve such problems.

"General Manager, we still have many things to solve at present. For example, some engineering and technical problems in shipbuilding, the installation of boilers, and the structure of the hull have undergone great changes. We all need to pay attention to these." The engineer said.

After the South Korean navy won the naval battle, South Korean shipyards noticed the usefulness of ships. If this type of ship uses a more powerful steam engine, its speed may increase by a large part. Not only that, there is still a considerable amount of capacity vacancies. In addition to these, his carrying capacity will also rise a lot. As a result, the hull of the old sailing ship has become much smaller, while the new ship has to be bigger. Only in this way can the ductility of the ship be satisfied.

But in this way, the technical requirements become greater.

"Military warships are only slightly larger than ordinary sailboats, but I have never looked at them. The ship must be bigger than a sailboat. As a result, various technical indicators have changed, such as the entire length of the hull. It becomes very long, which may exceed the new technical index, 120 meters. The iron beam of this length is difficult to withstand huge pressure, and with the location of the boiler, the bearing capacity of the iron beam will become weak. The military’s future military orders will definitely find a way to solve this problem. However, the building of the hull is becoming larger and larger, which is already a huge challenge. The difficulty of laying the keel has also become greater.” The engineer said.

"You mean?" the manager asked curiously.

"I mean, we must find a way to solve the material problem, because the ship must be made bigger, so that when we come back, the material of the hull must find new materials to solve it. This new material is steel, and we need a lot of New-style steel will solve this problem.” The engineer said.

"Okay. I see." The manager nodded. Ship building may seem simpler, but with the development of technology, some key problems are posed in front of Korean engineers, that is, ships will be built more and more. Some wooden sailboats have reached the limit of wooden boats. They can make wooden sailboats of more than 120 meters. However, this is the limit of iron beams. The speed of the ship cannot be too fast. In that case, the iron beams will not be able to withstand it. fracture. same. With the manufacture of ships, iron beams can no longer meet this demand. Because the ship will be made bigger. What they need is a new material. Steel. Only when steel is used in ships can the ships be made bigger.

Sori.

More and more Korean merchant ships approached here. Gradually, the tribes here became the place where Koreans lived, and they established a stronghold of Korean trade here.

A long line of black prisoners of war bound with ropes approached here. The black people with muskets are not surprising at all. They are their own, even though there is a big difference in language. They have not been able to complete the exchange so far, but their interests have turned them into natural allies.

"Slaves like this are still very good. I didn't expect these tribes to be so capable." A captain said loudly. His long beard is due to life on the sea. The materials that sailing ships can carry are very limited, and fresh water resources cannot guarantee their personal cleanliness needs. Therefore, most of the lives of seafarers are sloppy.

"Before I was worried that these tribes will not catch prisoners of war, and we have to fight these blacks. Now it seems that we have too many worries." The captain said excitedly.

"Haha. This is not a problem you worry about. What I am worried about is that excess food, we need a lot of food, and various materials to supplement this place. There will be more and more prisoners of war. Moreover, the closer to the south, the slaves of the south The more we have, the more we have to go south, and the population here will not be good if we catch them all." The merchant said something that the captain didn't understand, but the captain didn't care about it, so he didn't care about it anymore. What he cares about is the value that these slaves bring after being transported back.

The merchants are right, they are indeed worried about these problems, because the population here is limited, and the only way to expand the number of slaves is to develop inland, but in that case, the cycle of war will become more and more. The longer they are, they may be able to meet some needs at the beginning, but as time goes by, they will become more difficult. What merchants want is to transfer one area to another area to develop and obtain the demand of their slaves. This area is the south. Slave merchants don’t know how big this continent is, but they know that as long as they continue to move towards the south, maybe To reach the place they want to reach, there will be quite a lot of slaves to ensure their number.

Port Seth. Trade here is getting more and more developed. Seth merchants took their special products in exchange for the materials they needed, including some cultural relics like national treasures. Because of the gold on the market, I don't know when it will become in short supply. In fact, a large amount of gold entered the hands of Korean merchants, and the Korean merchants shipped a large amount of gold away. Their goal is South Korea. They will deposit in the bank. When they return to South Korea, they will become rich. They can make some investments and live the life that the rich should live.

"I really don't know, what are we doing here." A young Korean got off the sailing boat and he held various gift boxes of various sizes. This is not over yet, he is also responsible for his manager's suitcase. He felt that he needed a carriage or a cart now. It is a pity that there are not many horse-drawn carriages here. The horse-drawn carriages have become the playthings of the Seth nobles and the rich businessmen's league. They like them too much. The terrain here is flat, which is very suitable for carriages. Coupled with the special rope method of Korean carriages, this makes the carriages very light and has special shock absorbers. This makes the nobles and wealthy businessmen willing to spend a lot of money. Money to buy such a vehicle.

"Okay. Stop complaining. The trade here is developed, but there are no financial institutions. This is simply a huge shortcoming. The purpose of our coming is to make up for such a shortcoming. Understand? This is an opportunity. Earn money that you can't make in your entire life, maybe you have earned money here for dozens of lifetimes." An obese manager said. They are members of a Korean bank, and the telegram made it clear about the situation here. There are not enough financial institutions here. Especially some slave ship owners, they need funds, but no one can provide them with funds, and some businessmen, they need to pay a considerable amount of money to solve this problem, they need to wait for the arrival of the South Korean Navy, or Hiring very vicious desperadoes by themselves, only in this way can they guarantee a little bit of safety. What they need to do is to transport a large amount of wealth back to the country. This process is very dangerous, because some dangerous pirates will attack them. Or the people like bodyguards inside will kill themselves frantically. Rob them of their own wealth. The reason for this is because there is no bank here, or there is no office of a bank.

The telegram has already explained the situation here. Some people like to get more funds. They will spend money to buy goods from the original merchant ships. They hope that their business will be bigger. Others want to ensure their own safety. They like to put the funds in the safe of the bank, or exchange the mortgage into a large amount of cash, and then exchange it into a check. All of these are ok, because they can greatly guarantee their wealth. Safety.

"There is no bank here, can you see it? When we come here, we can make the first batch of money. There is gold everywhere, eh." As he said, the manager took a deep breath, and he could feel the air , The taste of gold.

"Very good. It all smells of gold," the manager said.

"Manager, I don't think it's good at all. Look, the camel pooped and peeed next to us." The young man said.

"Hahaha." Some vulgar Koreans next to them, looking at their outfits, should be crew members. They were sloppy and sloppy, and they had a large tattoo on their arms, as they had learned from the Yue people in Chu Kingdom. The tattoos were all tigers or some weapons used for killing, which seemed to be more fierce.

"There are two more fools who dream of getting rich in Port Seth." The crew laughed loudly while drinking strong alcohol. In their view. Not everyone can come here to make a fortune.

But there is indeed a need for a bank. Guo Xiang has reported the situation here to the South Korean government, because it is not only the merchants who need funds, but the government, the Shabbats need it, and Seth may also need it. There are other places that also need funds. In order to prepare for this, he decided to let a large number of Korean banks settle here because there is no financial institution.

Yan State, Prince's Mansion.

"Since the Koreans are coming, let them come. But this time we must treat them well. We can't let the Koreans leave here. The development of Koreans is better than us. They have capital, technology, and know how to develop. The development of the people of Qin is compulsory. If we can bring in Koreans and adopt a competitive approach to do these things, then the development of South Korea." Prince Dan said to the Minister of the Navy.

"In addition, we also need Korean funds. Therefore, in terms of policies that are favorable to South Korea, we might as well be more generous and give them some. In this way, it will be good for us." Prince Dan said.
