"Tangerine?"
"What it is?"
Zheng Shiqi asked curiously.
Even Zheng Shiqi has never eaten such a thing.
At present, the transportation in Daxia is far inferior to that of Zhang Bao and others in Hezhou.
Although the entire Hezhou has been connected through road construction, this is not the case in other places.
Especially the states near Xiazhou, because there is no coverage from Zhang Bao and others, they are almost still in a relatively primitive state.
Most of the current business transactions in Daxia are carried out through manpower, carriages and horses.
Since it is difficult to ensure timeliness during this process.
This aspect is particularly evident in fruits.
When the world is full of people, the concubine laughs, but no one knows that it is the lychee coming.
This is a treatment that can only be enjoyed by people in the palace.
But this premise still requires complete inns in various places across the country.
At least the current Daqian does not meet this condition.
Therefore, fruits have strong regional characteristics.
For most fruits, even if they are picked when they are just edible, they will be rotten by the time they are transported to the north.
And many fruits are not conducive to storage.
On the other hand, citrus is relatively easy to preserve.
Even after it is dried, it is still edible, at least it is not as perishable as other fruits.
Zhang Bao's purpose of getting some citrus naturally wanted to prepare for the future attack on Japan.
For those people from the Japanese country, perhaps they have had so many sailing experiences from their Japanese country to Daxia, and they can almost completely control the entire process.
But for the current Daxia, it is indeed extremely unfamiliar.
Once out on the water, anything can happen.
Other foods are easier to preserve, but fruits require sufficient reserves.
Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have been destroyed by itself before it even reached the Japanese country.
If you want to transport citrus from the south, unless you rely on the existing trade routes, this is the most convenient and fastest way.
They can spread the news directly through the local business network, and then in this process, get it as early as possible, and then deliver it here non-stop.
And Zhang Bao also knows that in addition to land trade routes, the Zheng family also has water trade routes.
These are great conveniences, so Zhang Bao thought of coming to Zheng Shiqi.
"No problem, sir. I'll make arrangements right away. I'll ship some of them over first to try."
"If this method and speed are possible, then we can ship it in large quantities."
Although Zheng Shiqi didn't know what Zhang Bao wanted to do, he still agreed. This has become a tacit understanding. In many cases, they couldn't keep up with Zhang Bao's ideas. It was only at this time that Zheng Shiqi The Wizards will show great coordination.
This is also the reason why Zhang Bao is willing to cooperate with Zheng Shiqi.
"Okay, there's no need to rush this matter."
"It is estimated that our battle with the Japanese will continue for some time."
Zhang Bao nodded.
"Sir, when it comes to your fight with the Japanese side, I have discovered before that some wealthy families still have some connections with the Japanese side, and it seems that they need to do something."
"But I don't know the details."
Zheng Shiqi said to Zhang Bao.
"Um?"
"How did you know?"
Zhang Bao asked curiously.
"It's absolutely impossible for these people to give in to profits!"
"They can fool the younger generations, but they can never fool me!"
"I'm telling you this, sir, those people are all money-minded and profit-seeking people. If there is anything that can make them give up their interests in this process, there will only be greater interests behind them."
"And I learned about it from the side and found that these businessmen are all people who have had contact with the Japanese country before, and they are all stubborn."
Zheng Shiqi reminded Zhang Bao.
"Well, you should always pay attention to their movements, but there is no need to interrupt them. For us, I hope they can come out on their own. Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome for us to find them."
Zhang Bao said to Zheng Shiqi.
"Sir, there is news about the Japanese in Dongzhou."
"They seem to have received some news and are moving closer to various counties along the coast of Dongzhou."
While Zhang Bao was talking to Zheng Shiqi, a soldier walked in and said.
"Is there any action so soon?"
"It seems that they have gone back to report the news. In this case, we can fully help them."
Zhang Bao nodded after hearing the news about the visitor.
If the Japanese on the Daxia side begin to take collective action, it must mean that there has been some action on the Japanese side.
Maybe reinforcements are coming soon, or maybe they are preparing to make some big move in Dongzhou.
In short, the fish bit the hook.
After receiving the news from the Japanese, Zhang Bao returned to the shipyard from the Zheng family to check on the progress of the renovation.
have to say.
Zhang Bao was very right to name the ships after these craftsmen before.
These old craftsmen are like chicken blood.
He was watching the scene almost all day long.
Moreover, all workers were divided into three shifts, which alternated in cycles.
This process goes on all day long.
Moreover, these ships have reached the most perfect state after being inspected by every old craftsman.
The other artillery has also been improved according to Zhang Bao's side. After experiments on the Japanese ship, there is no problem as long as it does not fire more than twenty guns in a row.
In terms of range, it is not controlled to a distance of about one hundred meters.
This distance is sufficient for traveling on the sea.
Now, according to Zhang Bao's request, arrangements have been made in the middle of the ship, so that when the ships are parallel, a direct strike can be carried out.
A relatively more powerful cannon was also specially installed at the bow of the ship.
In this way, even if they have any movements, they can still attack normally when chasing.
After reading it, Zhang Bao was still very satisfied.
But there is no rush to get the ship out to sea now.
After all, if those Japanese ships came to Dongzhou, they would naturally be wary once they found that there were ships on their side.
The shipyard side is not very suitable for landing.
So they will not choose to log in here.
Currently, Zhang Bao's ships are planning to wait until their ships get close to the coast and then surround them from the outside.
Kill them all in one fell swoop.
