After Gui Guzi came to Xianyang, Ying Feiyu also fulfilled his promise, worshiped him as his teacher, and learned skills from Gui Guzi.
Other disciples were also assigned to various places to contribute to Da Qin.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the first batch of steamships had been built in the shipyard.
Seeing the huge ships moored in the Wei River, Ying Zheng started to look for Xu Fu again!
Ying Feiyu volunteered to lead the navy to practice at sea.
At first Ying Zheng refused. After all, there are many unknown dangers in the sea, and Xiao Zhengtai cannot be allowed to take risks.
But after some persuasion from Ying Feiyu, Ying Zheng had no choice but to compromise.
Order Zhang Han to prepare supplies and prepare for going to sea!
In fact, Ying Feiyu has never been to Fusan Island, but he has systematic help and a navigation route map, so I believe he will not go wrong!
"Young Master, our Daqin is much richer now than before. Even if the army eats rice every day, the court can still afford it. Why do we need to prepare so many beans and corn?"
When he got the list of supplies, Zhang Han, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, approached Xiao Zhengtai in confusion and asked.
"Fu-Sang Island is actually not too far from Daqin, but we have to spend most of our time on the boat. There is a very lack of vegetables. If there are no vegetables, the body will get a disease called septicemia. Once it is contracted, then But gods can’t save us! With beans, we can grow bean sprouts at sea to supplement our vitamins!”
"Although rice is good, if you eat this kind of fine grain for a long time, it will lack dietary fiber and is not good for the body, so it needs to be both thick and fine!"
Xiao Zhengtai said a lot of professional vocabulary, and Zhang Han nodded in understanding.
"Then... why do you need to prepare tea? This thing is very expensive!"
The tea leaves in this era were not yet mature. After Xiao Zhengtai came to Daqin, he planted the dragon well rewarded by the system behind the house, and picked some to make tea when he had nothing to do.
When Ying Zheng returned to the palace, these tea trees were transplanted back, and gradually developed, and now people can also drink fresh green tea.
But it has not yet formed a large scale, so the price is not low.
If you want to prepare enough drinks for the navy officers, it will really cost a lot of money!
"Tea leaves and beans have the same principle. They are both used to supplement the vitamins needed by the body!"
"Uh...! That's it!"
After understanding, Zhang Han nodded and sent his subordinates down to prepare.
There is no way, for the sake of the health of the young master and all the soldiers, no matter how expensive the tea is, he still has to buy it, otherwise he will not have to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!
After Guiguzi picked an auspicious day, Xiao Zhengtai took 10,000 navy and 3,000 flying eagles and prepared to set sail to Fu-so Island.
There are ten steamships built this time, all moored in the Wei River. The scene is very spectacular!
This was the first time the navy went to sea, and Ying Zheng led the ministers to see him off in person.
"You kid, remember, even if you can't find that Fu-Sang Island, that shithole country, you kid must come back to me safely. If you are missing a hair, you will not be allowed to leave the palace again." step!"
When he said these words, Ying Zheng's tone was full of threats, but his eyes were full of love for his son.
He was really worried about his son encountering any accidents on the way.
"Father, if I want my son to guarantee this, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to sea!"
Xiaoshota shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Why?"
"My father wants his son to have one hair less, so he must at least count his hair before leaving. This is a big project, because his hair is growing every day, and it is also falling out every day. , if you want to count them clearly, you will definitely not be able to go to sea!"
Xiao Zhengtai looked up with an innocent smile and said jokingly.
"You brat!"
Ying Zheng was also amused by his words.
"Okay, you kid must pay attention to your safety!"
Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly and waved for the navy to board the ship.
"The auspicious time has come, the navy is boarding the ship!"
At almost the same time, Xin Sheng, the commander of the navy, shouted loudly, and all the soldiers immediately walked towards the ship with neat steps.
Just like the last expedition, Wang Wan set out with Ying Feiyu as a war reporter.
Coming from a family of military generals since childhood, Wang Jian and Wang Ben didn't worry too much.
After all, with the young master and Wang Li protecting him, there won't be any big problems!
As a personal maid, Yu Ji also boarded the ship and lived in the same cabin as Wang Wan!
"Woooo..."
The steamer made two deafening roars and then started to move slowly.
Ying Feiyu stood on the deck and waved to Daddy Zha, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely bring that old guy Xu Fu back to you!"
According to folklore and some unofficial records, Xu Fu's lifespan should be quite long.
At least he is alive and well now!
"be safe!"
Ying Zheng waved to him, his eyes full of love.
"Woooo..."
The sound of the whistle gradually faded away, and the figures on the shore became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into dense dots!
"Royal brother, it's too windy here, why don't you go to the cabin?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him, which frightened the little Shota and almost caused him to fall into the sea.
"What the hell? Brother Huang? Why are you here?"
Looking at Fusu's gentle face, Xiaoshota immediately cursed.
Hasn't this guy been obsessed with agriculture, leading literary greats to study grafting techniques all day long, hoping to increase food production?
Why did it suddenly appear here?
"I heard that there are many species overseas that we don't have in Great Qin, so I planned to transplant some back. I was worried that my father would not agree, so I dressed up as a navy and went together!"
Fusu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
His fear of Ying Zheng is really not the slightest bit.
Even if Ying Zheng coughed slightly, he would have to think for a long time whether his father was dissatisfied with him and would use the cough to remind him!
So he didn't dare to report it before leaving!
After returning home, he brought new species to Da Qin and benefited the people. Even if his father knew about it, he would not punish him too much!
"Hey! Young Master!"
Immediately afterwards, two familiar faces walked towards them again.
The two of them are young and full of smiles!
"Meng Yun, Meng Yu?"
The two were Meng Yi's sons and were not navy officers at all, but they were wearing navy uniforms at this time, which really made him confused.
"Aren't you studying at home and preparing to take the exams? Why are you here on the ship?"
"Alas...! Forget it, if we fail the scientific examination, we will be beaten with canes when we go home. We will be sent to the navy to serve the country!"
"We are not good at studying at all. If we are sent to the navy, it will help us!"
The two brothers had smiles on their faces.
When they first received naval training, they felt a little bit miserable. They felt uncomfortable floating in the water all day long.
But when they heard that Young Shota was going to take the navy to practice in person, they were so happy that they didn't sleep all night!
Everyone in the world doesn't know that by following the young master, you will not only get money, but also gain military honors!
This trip back, maybe they can still get some military glory, and see if their father still says that they are useless!
