Chapter 557 Treasure ship

At the beginning of the boat ride on the water, Qin Mo could still look at the scenery, but he got tired after a long time.

However, Da Gan's boat was really powerful. It could travel hundreds of miles a day, and it took less than ten days to reach the junction of the Yellow River.

This is Dongshanbin County, which is considered the base camp of the Ji family.

The fleet was anchored and there were many fishing boats on the sea.

There are also many fishing villages on the shore.

The arrival of the large army has added a lot of popularity to this place.

Qin Mo did not enter Bin County, but asked people to camp on the spot. Ji Ruan, the magistrate of Bin County, also came over in a hurry, "Ji Ruan, the lower official, has met Duke Jun Guo, Song Guo Gong, and Liang Hua County Duke!"

"Ji family?"

"Xiaguan is from the Ji family!" Ji Ruan said respectfully: "By the way, Lord Jun Guo, Xiaguan has prepared a reception banquet for you all in the county government office..."

"The reception banquet is unnecessary. You know why we came here this time. From now on, Bohai Bay is a no-entry area, but fishermen's fishing boats can follow us into the sea.

Please hurry up and inform me. Also, I want to build a factory in Bin County, which requires a lot of land and a large number of workers, at least three to four thousand people.

Fifteen Daqian Tongbao a day, including one meal at noon..."

Ji Ruan was stunned. A few days ago, a letter came from the capital, asking him to cooperate with Qin Mo and never go against him.

He also knew very well who Qin Mo was, and he didn't dare to have other thoughts.

Immediately he said: "Yes, I will go and take care of it now!"

"Well, hurry up and get these done, and I'll give you credit!"

Qin Mo waved his hand. He didn't have a good impression of the Ji family, but the Ji family was not entirely bad. At least they had contributed a lot to the education of the village.

Zhang Xi complained a little: "Even if the time is tight, there is no time for a meal?"

Qin Mo glanced sideways at him, "Okay, then go and eat. You will eat eighty meals a day, you old bastard!"

"You are too much of a bully. Who do you call an old bastard?"

"Whoever calls you is the old bastard!"

"You two, stop arguing. We've been arguing all the way and haven't we argued enough?" Liu Gui quickly pulled Zhang Xi aside, "I'm telling you, Lao Zhang, you can't even scold him, so why are you arguing with him?

You just can't figure it out. Just do what he says. When the time comes and you have made a contribution, can't we just wait for the reward?

If you have trouble with him, aren't you having trouble with yourself?"

When Zhang Xi heard this, it made sense, "Okay, for your sake, let's not quarrel with him. I just don't like him!"

"Just think that the reward is pleasing to your eyes!" Liu Gui patted him on the back, "Anyway, when he talks from now on, just treat him like a bastard and recite sutras."

Qin Mo was not in the mood to argue with Zhang Xi now, and immediately ordered: "You go and ask the local old fishermen first, they know where to find fish and where to cast the net.

Ask them about Kun again!"

"Okay, but the soldiers are hungry, so we should bury the pot and make rice first. Let's try to turn on the Internet this afternoon. Do you think it will work?" Liu Gui said.

"Well, you will be responsible for this from now on!" Qin Mo patted Liu Gui on the shoulder. He was quite satisfied with this good old man.

Talk less, be obedient, and be able to do practical things!

He found Gao Ren, the Japanese envoy who condemned the Japanese, and said, "First of all, please replenish supplies nearby and check whether the route is correct according to the chart. If there are any mistakes, correct them in time.

Secondly, the main purpose of your going to Japan is to introduce Buddhism. You should also protect the monk named Jianming.

At that time, we will set up a naval camp in the Bohai Sea and also set up a large dock, where a large number of merchant ships will gather.

There will be a large number of ships crossing the ocean, and you have to get a land for them where they can settle down, and there will be a large number of elite troops stationed there."

"Yes, Duke Junguo, I understand!" Gao Ren nodded, knowing that the task of condemning the Japanese this time was very important. Not only did he have to set up a Honglu Pavilion in Namba, he also had to open up a place for the incoming caravan to settle down.

Secondly, you have to agree to garrison troops, which is not that difficult.

"If you want to do this well, a county man is indispensable!" Qin Mo encouraged.

"Yes, Mr. Jun Guo, I will definitely live up to my expectations in my humble position!"

Qin Mo smiled and asked people to prepare supplies. It was estimated that it would take more than two months to get from Bohai to Japan. More vitamin-rich food must be prepared to avoid scurvy.

Qin Mo, on the other hand, was busy choosing a fish cannery on the beach.

This fish cannery is located near water and cannot be affected by rising sea tides.

After a busy afternoon, we finally found a place under the guidance of local fishermen.

It is about five miles away from the navy camp. The terrain is high, there is a freshwater river, and there is no farmland. The terrain is open.

"This is it!"

Qin Mo was very satisfied and called Ji Ruan over, "Is there an owner of this piece of land? If there is an owner, just buy it according to the market price!"

"Mr. Jun Guo, this is an ownerless land. Besides, you came here for the victims. Even if there is an owner, you don't need to pay for it yourself!"

Ji Ruan said: "Bin County is poor. There are only 20,000 people in the county. The lower officials summoned the squires and elders and collected 3,000 taels of silver to improve the food for the navy officers. I hope Duke Jun will accept it!"

This Ji Ruan knows how to do things, whether he is a good official or a corrupt official, at least he knows how to behave.

Qin Mo didn't refuse, and said: "Please tell me the name of the donor, and I will write it in the booklet!"

Ji Ruan was confused. Do you want to write it into a book and submit it to His Majesty?

He immediately regretted it. If he had known this, why not donate more?

However, he thought to himself that what Qin Mo said was probably just a joke.

"Yes, I will send you the list tomorrow!" Regardless of whether it is true or not, I will listen to whatever he says!

"I heard that Bin County is the hometown of shipbuilding. I need a lot of shipbuilders. Can you help me recruit some?"

"This..." Ji Ruan was in trouble, "Mr. Junguo doesn't know. Bin County is close to the sea and connected to the Yellow River. Water transportation is developed. These shipbuilders are the lifeblood of each family. Please call them over. Wouldn’t that cost them their lives?”

"Damn, is this going to cost them their lives?" Qin Mo curled his lips, "I don't care about their shipbuilding technology. I have better and more advanced sea-going ship blueprints here, and I want their shipbuilding materials. You Ask them if they are willing to sell it, then buy it at the market price!"

Crossing the sea by boat is no problem, but the risk is high.

It requires a specialized sea-going ship.

Moreover, seawater is corrosive, and river ships may not be able to withstand corrosion.

River boats have shallow drafts and can easily capsize in strong winds and waves.

The Maritime Silk Road of another world was laid by countless shipwrecks.

Qin Mo couldn't build a modern ship, but as a history student, he knew that the Ming Dynasty's treasure ship blueprints were reasonable, right?

He had discussed the internal structure of this treasure ship drawing with the shipbuilders at the shipyard many times in the capital.

This treasure ship is 44 feet long and 18 feet wide (that is, 146.67 meters long and 50.94 meters wide), with a displacement of at least over 4,000 tons, which ranks first in the world!
