After the college entrance examination, bring a system to serve as a soldier

"Xu Fu?"

A hint of anger flashed across Ying Zheng's face.

The elixir that was identified as poisonous before was offered by Xu Fu and others.

Moreover, Xu Fu also deceived Ying Zheng, and in the name of looking for overseas immortal mountain elixir, he went to sea many times, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources.

After having a world map, Ying Zheng naturally knew that the overseas immortal mountains that Xu Fu mentioned actually did not exist at all.

The so-called fairy island is estimated to be just an unknown island in the sea.

was killed by Xu Fu for money like this, even ordinary people would be angry, let alone arrogant as the first emperor.

Hei Bingtai has been following Ying Zheng's order to search for Xu Fu news, but it has never made progress.

"It is Xu Fu, Zhang Liang caught Xu Fu's liaison personnel this time, and coupled with Erchen's chart, it can already be concluded that Xu Fu's location is located. "

Fusu said with a smile.

Sure enough, as long as Xu Fu is mentioned, he doesn't have to worry about Yingzheng.

"But Xu Fu took away some of my best ships and crew in Daqin at the beginning, even if he learns his whereabouts now, it's not easy to catch him, right?"

After all, Ying Zheng is the first emperor, although he is very angry, he still has a clear understanding of the strength of Daqin's current sailors.

"Before, it was!"

"But soon, this situation will be changed!"

Fu Su said with a smile: "Erchen once got the blueprints of a five-tooth giant ship, and now the craftsmen have mastered its technology, the first batch of three five-tooth giant ships will soon be launched, and within half a year, a powerful sailor can be formed, and it is definitely not a problem to go overseas and crusade against Xu Fu." "

The improved system of the five-tooth giant ship, with a hull length of 60 meters, a waterline length of 56 meters, a width of 15 meters, and a draft of 2.2 meters, can accommodate up to 800 soldiers.

There are five floors of shipbuilding, and on the deck of the fifth floor there is an attic for reconnaissance of the enemy and the command of the army commander.

In today's world, it is definitely a giant level existence.

Coupled with the nautical charts containing hydrological information obtained by Fusu, the expedition to Fuso Island was not a problem at all.

And it just allows Daqin to realize the transition from a naval division to a navy.

As a traverser, Fusu is very aware of the importance of maritime trade.

Especially if Great Qin wants to realize the empire on which the sun never sets, this sea transportation is more important than land transportation.

It's just that the monarchs and ministers of Great Qin seriously lack a concept of the ocean, so Fusu simply sketched out Yingzheng's interest in arresting Xu Fu.

"That's great, but won't it cost too much?"

Ying Zheng hesitated.

You must know that Xu Fu's first few trips to sea were very expensive, otherwise he would not have needed to prepare for a few years to travel.

"Father, please rest assured, the island where Xu Fu is located is called Fusang Island, and there are just some reckless people on it now, and it can't be a big deal, as long as my Great Qin Sailor arrives, it will not be a problem to capture Xu Fu at all. "

"When the time comes, just catching these barbarians as coolies will be able to pay for it. "

"And this Fusang Island, although the land is barren and volcanic, but it has an advantage, that is, there are many silver and copper mines on the island, especially silver mines, and the output is high enough for Daqin to switch to silver as currency!"

Fusu smiled slightly.

This Fuso broken island is still a bit of a good thing.

In addition to the Iwami Silver Mine, which once accounted for one-third of the world's total silver production in later history, there are also high-quality copper ore resources such as Besko Copper Mountain, and although there are not many gold mines, the quality is very good in several places in Fusu's impression.

And these heavy metals, once mined, can be used as real hard currency.

As for mining is very dangerous, the aborigines of Fusang Island are very suitable, if it is not enough, let the Donghu people go to the Mauryan Dynasty more and work hard.

The Mauryan Empire had a population of 30 million, and it was enough to hollow out the entire Fuso Island.

"Is there really so much gold, silver, and bronze?"

A hint of surprise flashed on Ying Zheng's face.

There are two kinds of Daqin currency, the bronze Qin half tael, and gold.

However, gold is mainly used for bulk transactions, and it is mainly used on a large scale.

Now, with the continuous development of Daqin's commercial trade, even if steel is used to replace bronze on a large scale, and many bronzes are re-smelted, copper coins are far from enough.

However, the copper mines that have been discovered in Daqin and suitable for mining have been almost excavated.

Now that he heard that there were so many gold and copper mines on Fusang Island that could be directly used as currency, Yingzheng was instantly moved.

As for silver, its value is also widely recognized by the top and bottom of Daqin, as long as the quantity is large enough, with the prestige of Yingzheng and Fusu, it is not too difficult to establish silver as legal tender.

And he can also capture and kill Xu Fu, a person who Yingzheng hates very much, both public and private.

"This matter is handled by Fusu, and you directly coordinate all the armies with all the needs. "

Ying Zheng made up his mind.

"Thank you, Father!"

Fusu had a hint of joy on his face.

With Ying Zheng's support, he can let go and be bold.

"Father often hears Fusu talk about the size of the ocean, is this ocean really that good?"

Looking at the joy on Fusu's face, Ying Zheng suddenly said curiously.

"This ocean is full of treasures!"

Fu Su said with a smile: "Not to mention more, this is the most common, almost endless sea water, after drying, it can become sea salt, which is enough to ensure the lives of hundreds of thousands or even more people of Daqin, and the entire Daqin will no longer be troubled by the lack of salt." "

"Secondly, there are many kinds of seaweed on this seaside, such as kelp, seaweed, and so on. "

"And compared to rivers, the sea is much vast, and the fish resources in the sea are almost endless. "

"Don't look at the investment of this five-tooth giant ship, it costs 300,000 yuan to start at a time, but just fishing can easily recover the cost, and it can also improve the diet of the people of Daqin. "

In those days, the sea was not overfished and was completely unexplored.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no need for fishing nets, and when the tide is high, place a few fish baskets on the seashore and hold them down with stones to prevent them from being washed away, and when the tide recedes, you can harvest a bunch of fresh fish that are alive and bouncing.

As for why you don't catch marine fish?

The reason is simple.

In these days, the people didn't know that they could make a living by fishing for marine fish.

Even the government only saw that the seaside was saline-alkali land, and crops could not be grown, and the towns and villages were far away from the sea.

There is no concept of eating the sea by the sea at all.

There are very few people fishing along the rivers, let alone fish farming.

At present, the price of fresh fish in the Daqin market is much more expensive than mutton.

Even Mencius compared fish to bear's paws, which shows the rarity of fresh fish.

As for the sailors of Great Qin, it is even more difficult to say.
