Steamships docked one after another, and the people waiting on the shore rushed towards their ships.
Immediately afterwards, there was an endless stream of carriages in Chang'an City, driving towards various mansions in a mighty manner.
"Look, that's the carriage of Feng Shangshu's family! Tsk tsk! There are so many good things!"
"The ones from Marquis Tongwu's family over there are so beautiful. There are big wooden boxes packed inside. They must be full of gold, silver and jewels!"
"I have heard that in addition to spices, Nanyang also has a lot of gems. If you don't say anything else, you can pick up a lot of valuable goods just by walking along the seaside in a day!"
"That's right, that's right. I've also heard that the natives there are ignorant and give all the good things to their children as toys, but they care less about the old clothes we don't want!"
"I really envy these people who can afford steamships and go to Nanyang to make money!"
"Although steamships are expensive, we can buy them together as a group. Each person contributes a little less. When the navy goes to sea next time, we will go to Nanyang to make money! Even if we don't pick up any valuable gems, we can just pick spices. , you can also make a lot of money!”
"That's right...!"
The return of naval and civilian steamships has become a hot topic among the people in Chang'an City.
Seeing the boxes of treasures being transported to various mansions, it would be a lie to say that you are not jealous!
Taking advantage of this wave of enthusiasm, Ying Feiyu came to the newspaper office and found someone to write a report about Nanyang.
The above details the geographical location and climate, as well as the native people, spices, and the most important thing is rubber!
This is the focus of the entire report.
Ying Feiyu is preparing to set up a rubber factory and purchase rubber at high prices and at any time.
Ever since, the shipyard has become popular again.
Whether it’s spices or rubber, if you want to go to Nanyang, you must have a ship, right?
When an ordinary small wooden boat enters the sea, it won't be able to row very far before being knocked into the sea by wind and waves. It must be a steamship made of steel.
Not only is it powerful, but it is also relatively heavy, so accidents are unlikely to occur!
It is true that people go to sea to make money, but the prerequisite is that they also have life to spend.
Don't risk your life just to make money!
"I heard that the Li family who bought a boat last time got their capital back and made a lot of money on this trip alone! Not to mention anything else, just selling the boat must be worth a hundred More than ten thousand gold!"
"More than that! A steamship is made of steel. How can it depreciate so much after just one trip to sea? It will sell for at least 13.4 million gold!"
"Tsk tsk! I made so much in less than half a year, I can't even imagine it!"
"This is nothing. The Wang family in Longxi, I heard that the gems they picked up are worth a fortune!"
"Now His Royal Highness has started buying rubber again. Even if he doesn't find anything, he can make a fortune just by selling rubber...!"
In the shipyard, people gathered in groups and chatted, their eyes revealing their longing for Nanyang.
In the past six months, the shipyard has not stopped for a moment. Now it has built many steamships, which can basically meet the needs of these people, and there will not be the crazy rush like last time.
Many of the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China have tasted the sweetness of Nanyang. Even when they went to court, their faces were filled with smiles.
In the early morning, Ying Zheng took the lead in proposing that the navy officers should go to Nanyang again in a few days.
None of the ministers present objected, but were overjoyed.
Because they are waiting for this!
When the time comes, let your own boat follow closely behind, and then go to Nanyang to catch a wave!
After development, the navy now has nearly 50,000 people, all of whom are familiar with water and the operation of steamships.
What is lacking most is actual combat.
Therefore, Ying Feiyu has no objection to letting the navy go to sea.
It's just that a group of people has to be changed every time. The experienced old navy will take the new recruits there, which is regarded as a training experience!
When the navy went to sea this time, there were many more ships following behind it than the last time.
Wealthy businessmen from all over the Qin Dynasty were rushing to buy steamships and go to Nanyang to make money!
We have to wait until next spring when the ice and snow melt before we can come back.
After bidding farewell to the navy, Ying Feiyu was about to enter the palace when he was summoned to the train station by Hei Bingtai, saying that His Majesty was there.
Along with all the veterans, they were all called over!
"Father, what are you...?"
When they arrived at the train station, they saw Ying Zheng dressed in casual clothes and sitting in the VIP room.
"Can't you see this? I want to travel by train...!"
Seeing everyone coming, Ying Zheng stood up, opened his arms, turned around in front of everyone, and continued: "It's autumn now, and I want to take the train to see what the harvests of the people everywhere are like!"
"Your Majesty, you have a lot to do, and there are still many affairs in the court that need to be handled by you personally. If you leave, what will happen to those things in the court?"
Before Ying Feiyu could speak, Feng Quji made a grimace and stopped Ying Zheng from traveling.
"Hmph! My special train has been built for more than half a year. You always use this to prevent me from traveling, but you often secretly travel by train. Don't think I don't know!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at everyone.
The old guys flattened their mouths and lowered their heads quietly.
That's right. Since the train was opened, they often buy tickets in advance while taking a break, go to other counties and counties, and then come back quietly.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty even knew about their little tricks?
"So this time I have already thought about it. Not only am I going to travel, but you also have to go with me. I have just sent someone to send news to your mansion and will come back in three days! As for the affairs of the government, it will be handled by various ministries. Let’s solve it first. If it can’t be solved, we’ll gather it together and discuss it when you come back!”
Ying Zheng made up his mind this time, and his tone was very tough and could not be vetoed.
"yes!"
Several ministers also saw Ying Zheng's determination and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Ying Feiyu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the frustrated expressions of the old guys!
"Father, son, minister...!"
"You kid, shut up. Traveling by train is your favorite thing to do. Even if you don't want to go, you must go with me this time!"
Just as Ying Feiyu was about to refuse on the grounds that he was supervising the country on behalf of Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng blocked him with a word.
"yes!"
Things are changing. I just laughed at a few old guys, but I didn't expect that when I turned around, I was laughed at by a few old guys.
There is no way, even if you don't want to go out with Ying Zheng, you have to go together!
Ever since, under the arrangement of the station, the special train that Ying Zheng spent millions of dollars to order was dispatched for the first time.
Other trains are all green, but Ying Zheng’s special train is black and red in appearance, which echoes the color of the dragon robe and also represents its identity and uniqueness!
The interior decoration is naturally dominated by yellow, supplemented by other colors.
There are eight carriages in total. In addition to the utility room, dining room and guard's residence, there is also a sleeping carriage for the traveling ministers.
Among the remaining four rooms, one is a luxuriously furnished living room, which is equipped with tea tables, tea cups, bookcases, dragon tables and dragon chairs. Ying Zheng can work here.
The rest are bedrooms, making it convenient for Ying Zheng to travel with his concubines!
