A few days later, newspapers published news that the navy was about to go to sea again.

After the people saw it, they were really happy!

"God is really helping me. The navy is also going to sea. When the time comes, we can follow the navy and we will be able to reach Nanyang smoothly!"

"Yes, yes, we have to quickly stock up on food so that when the navy goes to sea, we can go to sea smoothly!"

"Then how can the navy allow us to follow?"

"Don't worry, the vast ocean doesn't belong to anyone. If the navy can go there, we can go too!"

"That's it! At worst, we can follow you from a distance!"

"That's not necessary. If the court didn't want you and me to follow, it wouldn't have published the departure date in the newspaper at all!"

"That's right. Since the imperial court has announced the date of departure, it is equivalent to acquiescence that we will follow!"

"Um……!"

Most of those who can afford steamships are monkey businessmen.

Their minds spin faster than a top, and they react immediately after seeing the newspaper!

In the next few days, the sales of grain, water bags, cloth, and stoneware utensils in various counties were extremely good!

Everyone has heard that the natives on the island are very stupid. As long as you use these worthless things, you can exchange them for gems the size of eggs!

Although they don’t know if it’s true or not, they still have to be prepared. If this happens and they have nothing to exchange, wouldn’t they suffer a loss?

These things are not valuable anyway. Even if they cannot be exchanged, they can be brought back and used at home!

The people who bought steamships were preparing to set off from the Weishui River and follow the navy to Nanyang. A large number of crews and sailors gathered here, driving a lot of Xianyang's economy!

At the beginning of March, three thousand marines officially boarded the ship, followed closely by the people.

The whistle sounded one after another, shaking the hearts of the people watching. The scene was extremely shocking!

The crew on the ship kept waving goodbye to the people seeing them off on the shore.

This also includes Wang Bi, Zhang Han and others.

They are all important ministers of the DPRK. It is definitely impossible for them to go to sea in person. Even if they were willing, Ying Zheng would not agree!

As soon as they left, the three provinces and six departments were completely depleted.

Do you want him, a polished emperor, to handle those trivial matters personally?

Wouldn't that exhaust him to death?

So most of them are looking for relatives who are loyal and honest, and can work hard to help them when they get to the island!

In addition, they also adopted Ying Feiyu's dividend system, which means that the more spices they collect, the more money they can share.

In this case, are you still afraid that they will not work hard?

Watching their ship go farther and farther, and finally turned into a small black dot, disappearing from sight, Wang Ben and others finally looked back!

"Oh! We can go out for a walk sometime!"

"Yes! Last time I heard His Highness the Crown Prince talk about what he saw and heard at sea. It was really fresh. We can go and have a look sometime!"

"No! I'm looking forward to this day too! Then we'll be blowing the sea breeze and drinking Wuliangye. I feel happy just thinking about it...!"

Meng Yi suddenly sighed, which immediately resonated with several other people.

"Not only us, His Majesty is also waiting for this day!"

"His Majesty?"

"Yes! His Majesty said before that when the prince goes to sea next time, he must follow him!"

"Haha! No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince did not follow him during these two trips to Nanyang. It turned out to be because he was afraid that His Majesty would go with him...!"

Several ministers suddenly realized.

In the past, several major actions of the imperial court were led by the prince.

The last time thirty steamships sailed to Nanyang, it was the first time for such a large scale trip. They were still wondering why the prince didn't go this time.

It turns out that I was scared by His Majesty and didn’t want to take His Majesty with me!

"I don't know if this is the reason, but His Majesty once said this!"

"Haha, it must be! There is no other reason!"

"We will be free after retirement and can go anywhere, but not His Majesty. As long as there is breath left, we have to fight hard in the imperial study!"

"Bah, bah, bah, you old man is getting more and more courageous. You dare to talk about His Majesty! If someone with a heart listens to it, you will look good...!"

The few people talked more and more enthusiastically, and even mentioned Ying Zheng.

Kang Anping suddenly realized that he was speechless and quickly closed his mouth!

After the mighty ship entered the water, Xianyang City suddenly fell silent.

The shipyard began to build the next batch of steamships, and the people began to prepare for spring plowing in full swing!

Living up to expectations, the first batch of steamships had been built before spring plowing.

Huang Yuan happily ran to Bieyuan, but Ying Feiyu was nowhere to be seen.

Then he ran to the newspaper office, wine shop and cloth shop, but found that there were none. Finally, he entered the palace and found the young lady who was playing chess with Ying Zheng.

There was already a thick stack of banknotes in front of him!

"Father, I have told you that my chess skills were taught by my master and are unparalleled in the world. You must not believe it! I relied on this skill to defeat Gui Guzi, and that's how I persuaded him to come out!"

Seeing Huang Yuan coming, the two of them ended the game and did not continue.

Ying Feiyu smiled proudly while counting the banknotes like a philistine.

With nothing to do, Ying Zheng insisted on looking for abuse. The more Xiao Zhengtai warned him, the more he aroused his unwillingness to admit defeat!

In desperation, Xiao Zhengtai had no choice but to agree to play with him, but there must be a stake!

In the end, I won these banknotes in my hands.

Look at Ying Zheng’s old face again, it’s so dark!

After killing for most of the day, he didn't even win a single game. He was killed horribly in every game. He was really evil!

I think he has been learning chess since he was a child, so how could he still lose to a young boy?

"Why are you here?"

Ying Zheng, who had been holding back his anger for a long time and had nowhere to vent his anger, turned his attention to Huang Yuan and asked in a cold voice, which frightened Huang Yuan's whole body.

If he had known this was the case, he would not have come even if he was killed.

Next time you enter the palace, you must have a longer memory and read the almanac!

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the first batch of steam tractors have been built and can be officially put into use!"

Even if his scalp was numb, Huang Yuan had to report it normally.

"Oh? It's finished...?"

Hearing this, Ying Feiyu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Today is truly a double happiness!"

"Yeah! It's really fast. It didn't delay the spring plowing!"

Ying Zheng, who had a dark face, softened somewhat after hearing the news.

Steam tractors are thirty to forty times more efficient than current farming, and are also a prerequisite for liberating the labor force.

Although the first batch should not be made much, it is still a good start!

As long as the first batch of applications are successfully applied and people gradually accept it, it will be popularized much faster in the future!

"Because there was no dedicated factory for production and the craftsmen's skills were not mature, only a hundred of the first batch of steam tractors were built!"

"Yeah! Not a lot!"

"Take me to see it!"

Ying Zheng, who had lost a lot of money, was depressed and wanted to take this opportunity to go outside the palace to relax.
Chapter completed!
