"We started fighting while I was recuperating. Don't blame me for making money from the war. You all laughed at me back then. Now it's my turn to collect some interest."

"Yuhuatian!"

A figure appeared at the door in an instant, and he clasped his fists respectfully and said, "King Qin orders."

"The six states in the southeast will send more spies. Important news will be released as soon as possible. I want to get the news on the battlefield as soon as possible."

"As ordered."

"Also, find out the origin of the merchants who transferred the gold and silver, don't move them first, I want to see who is behind the scenes."

The latest situation map

Chapter 0140

After resting all night, Qin Lang woke up slowly at noon the next day.

Last night, I slept with the rain and dew, and I struggled until dawn to relieve the pain of lovesickness from patrolling these days.

It's just that it's noon now, and it's early summer again, so it's a bit uncomfortable to have so many people crowded together.

When Qin Lang fell asleep, everyone left quietly.

This kind of good day is really sweet, Qin Lang sat up and stretched, and walked to the door of the bedroom with bare feet, and slowly opened a gap, the sun was dazzling.

Qin Lang covered his eyes with one hand, glanced at Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were competing shirtless in the square in front of the temple, and muttered, "Don't you hate the sun?" Then he went back to the bed and changed into a cool silk robe. After grooming, he came outside the hall and yelled, then walked towards the outside of the palace.

As soon as Qin Lang got into the carriage, Dian Wei and Xu Chu chased after him with their respective subordinates.

It would take more than two days to travel from Xianyang to Luoxia Port on a fast horse. Qin Lang's carriage was not traveling fast, and it would take almost three days to get there.

All they saw along the way were busy farmers and convoys on the official road. Seeing Qin Lang's carriage, no matter what their status was, everyone would kneel on the grass on both sides of the official road very consciously. To them, only sincerity Admiring a person can be so sincere.

If you just change to a high-ranking official, it doesn't matter whether they can take a second look at you.

The current old Qin people are no longer the old Qin people of the past. They are proud of themselves, full of self-confidence, and they are extremely united. They never fight among themselves. They will rush to help.

Three days later in the afternoon, Qin Lang and his party finally arrived at Luoxia Port. There was an endless stream of convoys traveling to and from Luoxia Port along the way. Only when they arrived did they realize that the scale was even bigger than imagined.

The convoy entered the high-lying freight yard in an orderly manner to unload the goods. The officials on site were excellent, and the inspection was strict and efficient. Unqualified carriages would be invited to the open space on the side, and new people would conduct a second evaluation. Only then will it be transferred to another site, where a group of experienced craftsmen will select the goods, keep the useful ones, and return the useless ones or the unqualified ones.

Many workshops have been built in the area where the mountains and forests meet the seaside, and these workshops are dedicated workshops for parts production.

A workshop will manufacture a few or a dozen parts in a professional field, with extremely fine workmanship and high quality.

Passing the workshop area and approaching the sea, the mountains and rivers suddenly disappeared, like opening two windows, and the eyes suddenly opened up.

A huge dock is connected to a medium-sized island in the middle of the sea. From a distance, the dock is as big as a mountain. As he gets closer, Qin Lang realizes for himself how large the dock is, which is not what it should be in this era. product.

Looking at the giant booms controlled by pulley blocks, various movable beam bridges, tracks and other devices, I was amazed.

Seeing Qin Lang's team enter the core area of ​​Luoxia Island, Zheng He and Lu Ban led a group of generals and craftsmen to welcome them warmly.

After exchanging pleasantries, Qin Lang saw that it was still early in the sky, and he had never seen the sea in this world, so he was especially interested in the dock.

Under the guidance of Zheng He, he went directly to the dock to introduce and explain all the way, and finally arrived at Luoxia Island.

After listening to Zheng He and Lu Ban's careful introduction, Qin Lang finally understood why the dock was so big.

The general docks are open-air harbor-style, and there are three types of dry docks, water injection docks, and floating docks.

Different shipyards can manufacture various types of ships, but their functions are different.

There are more water injection docks and dry docks, which are mainly used for manufacturing and repairing ships. In addition, floating docks can also play the role of salvaging sunken ships in offshore areas, or leaving the port for maintenance.

The reason why the dock on Luoxia Island is so large is that almost half of the area is enclosed, and five large seagoing ships can be built in the entire dock at the same time.

According to Lu Ban's explanation, the shipyard first completes the frame of the hull, and then sends it to the dock to start manufacturing the interior.

During this period, it cannot be exposed to rain, so the roof needs to be protected from the rain. After the interior of the dock is built, waterproof and painted, it will be transferred to the open-air dock outside for finishing.

The current batch of warships is the first batch of experimental warships that Lu Ban carefully selected and improved from the various ships of the treasure ship fleet.

There are ten ships in total, including extra large, large, medium, and small. It is the first time to try to make a model.

What surprised Qin Lang most was the power of these ships. In addition to sails, there were also wind power and human-powered waterwheels.

When there is no wind or the wind is low, manpower can be involved to drive it, and Qin Lang admires its precision.

At present, there are only five warships that have just started to be manufactured in the dock, and in fact, there is not much to see. After walking around, I came to a small courtyard that was specially built for Qin Lang on Luoxia Island. It is inevitable.

Qin Lang was also happy, drinking to his heart's content all night, especially when the four generals Deng Zilong, Zheng Zhilong, Shi Lang, and Yu Dayou were there, each of them was a good man in wine, and they drank until late at night before everyone left staggeringly.

Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, or maybe the excitement in his heart didn't subside. Qin Lang, who couldn't sleep, left the small courtyard alone, walked to the beach, sat on a stone, and felt the slight salty smell in the cold wind.

There is a vast bright moon above the nine heavens, and there is a starry sky ten thousand miles away. The bright moon is reflected on the sea and shakes, and the waves gently beat against the coast. Qin Lang has a feeling of broadness and boundlessness.

Playing with the fine yellow sand in his hand, Qin Lang cast his eyes in a very far direction, wondering whether there would be such a piece of land on the other side of the sea.

In the vast sea area, will there be many islands scattered, and will there be people on those continents and land?

Will it be a Chinese or a foreigner?

Is there a possibility that there are actually many continents, and each continent has 36 states, and everyone is fighting each other, but they forget that there are people in the distance of the sea?

Qin Lang sat until late at night, and only after waking up from the wine did he bring back his rambling thoughts.

Back in the small courtyard, listening to the gentle sound of the waves, I fell asleep until dawn.

When Qin Lang got up, the seaside on the land was already full of densely packed troops and began to practice.

Zheng He, who had been waiting in the yard for a long time, quickly went up to meet him. Qin Lang looked at the imposing troops on the other side of the sea and asked, "It's only been three months, and the navy has trained to such a level. You have contributed a lot."

Zheng He was a little ashamed: "Thanks to the presence of Zheng Zhilong's four generals, otherwise there would be only one subordinate, and we would be too busy."

Qin Lang knew that Zheng He was being modest, so he stopped praising him. He just asked, "How many sailors are there today? Are there any difficulties in armaments, life and health, or other aspects? Said, this time is to solve the problem for you."

Chapter 0141 Shipbuilding

Zheng He pondered for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "There are no problems in all aspects at present, but if you have any requests, Master Xun Yu will quickly approve them. If there is a real problem, the construction speed of warships is too slow. Our total There are only ten medium-sized cargo ships for training, and a full 10 sailors are not used at all, and there is no chance of the last ship in a month, which has a great impact on the training of water combat."

Qin Lang really couldn't help Zheng He's problem. Lu Ban had been transferred in person. The whole Qinzhou was working overtime for the navy, and they had used the triple card. Now it was really impossible to change the warship.

Patting Zheng He on the shoulder, Qin Lang said helplessly, "I really can't solve this trouble, so please wait at ease. It will probably improve by the end of the year."

"That's all I have to do. My lord, why don't you eat something first. The fresh seafood porridge is very good."

Qin Lang smiled slightly, and returned to the small courtyard. The prepared breakfasts were served one after another.

During the meal, Qin Lang asked: "I think the ten cargo ships are not bad. If it is transported to other places, will it be difficult?"

Zheng He put down his bowl and chopsticks, and assured him, "Master Lu Ban's craftsmanship is the best I've ever seen. Except that the hull is a little too small to go to deep sea areas, there is no problem at all in ordinary offshore areas."

"How much cargo is there?" Qin Lang asked.

"Returning to my lord, the ten cargo ships currently in use are all [-] materials. They are more than ten feet long, three feet deep, two and five feet wide, and can carry two thousand dendrobium millet and more than two hundred people."

Zheng He's answer was very precise. Qin Lang roughly calculated the straight-line distance from the west of Qinzhou to Longzhou, guessed a sea and land distance and asked, "How long will it take to reach the distance of two thousand miles?"

Zheng He hesitated for a while, and after making some calculations in his heart, he replied: "If the wind is favorable and the wind is strong enough, this ship can sail about 120 miles in an hour, and it should be able to arrive in two days. If there is a headwind or no wind, the speed must be It has dropped by about half, and it is estimated to be about five days."

With Zheng He's answer, Qin Lang began to calculate the gains and losses in his mind. A ship loaded with 2000 shi, and the price of grain in Qinzhou remained at 5 renminbi a catty, and a ship of grain was worth 100 million renminbi, or 1000 taels of silver.

One trip is 1 taels, if the other party is short of food...

If it is equipped with some weapons and equipment and other military supplies...

Qin Lang, who was counting with his fingers, nodded secretly, and looked at Zheng He with a pursed mouth: "I think what you said makes sense, the number of boats is indeed a little less..."

After a while, the guards rushed over with Lu Ban. Qin Lang's idea was not to worry about making warships, after all, there should be no danger from the sea at present.

For the time being, let's do the research on the warship carefully first, and make sufficient preparations first, and then build the warship in one go.

In addition, the production of cargo ships is relatively simple, and if a batch of cargo ships are driven out in a short time, no matter what they transport, it will have an unexpected effect.

Lu Ban thought about it for a long time, and finally promised: "Don't worry, my lord. According to the current number of craftsmen and production speed, at least [-] medium-sized cargo ships can be built in three months."

Qin Lang thought for a while and gave Lu Ban an order: "Fifty ships must be launched in three months. If you have any difficulties, please contact me directly. If you want to increase capital investment and manpower craftsmen, just report to Xun Yu."

With Qin Lang's full support, Lu Ban was not worried that he would not be able to complete the task at that time. He was confident in his promise and returned to his job.

Zheng He also assured Qin Lang that as long as enough ships were launched, he would have enough qualified crew members on board.

The two continued to discuss some details before Zheng He left the courtyard.

Qin Lang glanced at the time, it was time to meet Yang Kai and Liu E in the Tianji Building.

Entering the Tianji Building, it was just noon, and no one could be seen in the building.

Seeing Qin Lang appearing, Xiao Er quickly came up to greet him, saying that someone was waiting in the room on the fifth floor.

Arriving at room C on the fifth floor, Yang Kai was drinking alone in the room, when Qin Lang entered the door, Yang Kai immediately changed his face and got up to welcome him warmly.

They were all acting on the occasion and exchanging a few pleasantries, which could be regarded as breaking the deadlock.

For Yang Kai, Qin Lang basically didn't have any feelings. After all, he rarely interacted with each other. Yang Kai was a sports committee member. During the physical education class, relying on the physical education teacher's laziness, he was the host for half of the class.

In this way, Yang Kai developed a kind of official authority that he feels good about himself. People who usually have little friction with him will be punished by him in physical education class. Was fined to run 500 meters.

Qin Lang had such an experience, but unfortunately he had a teacher to protect him, so he didn't dare to do anything to him, but Yang Kai didn't make things difficult for Qin Lang those few times, and the rift between the two was actually not that big.

Compared with Yang Kai and Li Ming, Qin Lang still hates Li Ming more. As the deputy squad leader, he is used to pretending to be a tiger, and he has done a lot of things to bully men and women.

In addition, he is related to the Chinese teacher Zhou Yao, this guy is rampant in the class, even if he has no direct confrontation with him, most people can't understand his nostrils.

The reason why Qin Lang was willing to chat with Yang Kai was not only because he didn't feel so disgusted with him, but also because of a deeper reason.

Judging from the current situation that Yang Kai suffered, Qin Lang didn't want him to lose to Li Ming, it was best for Qin Lang that both sides had been exhausted.

However, the six states in the southeast are obviously weak at present, and there is a tendency to be divided up. If Qin Lang does not take the initiative to muddy the water at this time, causing these people caught in the battle to consume more strength, they may have no chance in the future.

Yang Kai thought that Qin Lang came here to make a deal with him, and looked down on Qin Lang before, but he had to admire Qin Lang's rapid development.

If Li Ming hadn't been dragging him all the time, Yang Kai thought he would have at least two or three states in his hands now.

From the heart, Yang Kai admired Qin Lang a little, but also had contempt and disdain. After all, those people Qin Lang killed were scum to him.

Sometimes when I think about it, I feel that God's will tricks people. He is wearing Yang Guang's identity, and he is not as good as a person born in civilian clothes.

If he could do it all over again, he would rather not have this identity and be born in a chaotic area, the more chaotic the more chances he has to succeed.

Does Qin Lang's development history explain this fact well soon?

So in the chat, Yang Kai sighed from time to time, saying that he envied Qin Lang's good luck.

Although he was tired of listening, Qin Lang didn't show any impatience. Instead, he communicated with him with a smile all the way, talking to Mr. Yang one by one, and he coaxed Yang Kai to be really happy.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Yang Kai finally led the conversation to him: "Brother Lang, we are all buddies, you have to help me with this task, he Li Ming is too bullying, you and I are in an alliance, left and right With a pincer attack, Li Ming will definitely die."

It's not that Qin Lang doesn't want to continue to expand the territory, but he still doesn't have enough strength at the moment. As long as he doesn't get pushed, he won't take the initiative to start a war within the year.

So he politely refused and said: "Mr. Yang, you really think highly of me. I suffered a lot from the siege of six states."

Chapter 0142 The deal is reached

Yang Kai has seen all the detailed battle reports of the six states encircling Qin, and he can guess the approximate casualties.

Qin Lang had some losses, but certainly not many. It is true that a large territory needs to be stabilized, but it definitely still has the strength to fight.

The reason why Qin Lang behaved so miserably was because he was crying to himself about being poor. He naturally understood this. He just wanted to win more benefits.

Yang Kai detoured for a long time, talking about a lot of his own difficulties, and finally pretended that he was in short supply, and reported a profit distribution plan to Qin Lang.

"Brother Lang, look at it this way, we two will work together to kill Li Ming, and I don't want anything else. Hezhou belongs to me, and you can take Li Ming's Gongzhou."

Qin Lang didn't think this method of distribution was ineffective, but that he really couldn't attack Li Ming's Gongzhou.

When it comes to soldiers, Jingzhou's current strength is barely sufficient for defense. If you want to launch an attack on Gongzhou, you must have at least three times the strength, otherwise you don't even have to think about it.

The reason why Qin Lang was able to win those states, to be honest, Qin Lang thought he was lucky, it really wasn't because the opponent was weak.

Facing Li Ming, Qin Lang didn't think that this person would be as stupid as Xu Song and Li Tong. Instead, he felt that Li Ming could win Yang Kai's Hezhou, or win it in a frontal battle. Li Ming and his subordinates were definitely not bad.

Just like the monsters in the game, Lu Kun and Cai Xuan are ordinary monsters, Xu Song and Li Tong are elite monsters, and Li Ming and Yang Kai are small bosses.

In addition to the news from various channels, Li Ming's Gongzhou is not bad. There are three fifth-tier cities, which shows that Li Ming also has many adventures.

Let's talk about Yang Kai, he is now so embarrassed by Li Ming that he dare not go out of the city to face the battle. He should have the power to fight, but he really doesn't have the ability to counterattack.

No matter how big Yang Kai's pie was, Qin Lang politely rejected his proposal.

With too many rejections, Yang Kai's good temper disappeared, he slammed his wine glass on the table, folded his hands on his chest, and said impatiently: "Since Brother Lang has no idea of ​​cooperating with me, this drink is regarded as me and you. Let’s gossip about the old days, I won’t be drinking with you as the war is stalemate over there, so let’s say goodbye.”
