Chapter 678: Shaking Ship

"I respectfully send you your Majesty...!"

After Ying Zheng boarded the steamer with all the officials and guards, the officials of Jiaodong County quickly said goodbye.

Although it didn't take more than half an hour from the time Ying Zheng got off the train to the time the steamer left the port, but during this half hour, the officials were worried.

I'm afraid that I'll do something wrong as soon as I put it down, and my brain will be damaged!

It wasn't until they watched the steamer gradually move away, and were sure that Ying Zheng could not turn back, that the officials breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the city feeling relaxed!

It was the first time for Ying Zheng and the veterans to actually ride a steamship on the sea. They were a little nervous and leaned on the mast motionless!

When the steamship was launched for the first time, old steamships also tried it, but they only traveled a short distance in the Weishui River.

Although the river is wide, it is far less than the blue sea.

The sea breeze blows and the steamer rocks!

"Father, don't be afraid, driving on the sea will definitely not be as smooth as on the Wei River!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's nervous look, Ying Feiyu smiled and comforted him.

"You kid, don't talk nonsense. Which of your eyes can see that I'm scared?"

Ying Zheng was the king of a country, and he would definitely not say the word "fear" easily, so he said it bravely.

"That's alright, Father, you can stay here while I go to rest first! This place is still far away from Kuaiji County!"

Ying Feiyu stretched his waist and walked towards the cabin.

When they boarded the ship, the sun was already setting. After driving so far out, the night was getting darker.

At night on the sea, there are more people than in the county.

The cold sea breeze mixed with the salty smell is not pleasant!

"Hey! Brat, please wait for me!"

Ying Zheng glanced at the old guys, let go of his hand, and quickly chased after them.

The old guys looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

There's no way, they can't stay here forever, right?

"Your Highness, this boat won't keep rocking like this forever, will it?"

When they arrived at the cabin, the old guys' bodies were still rocking back and forth with the ship, so they asked suspiciously.

"That's right!"

Although Ying Feiyu's small body was shaking, his expression was relaxed and he was still holding the teacup and drinking hot tea.

"Ah...how...how can we eat here? How can we sleep here?"

The old guys immediately shut their mouths.

Ying Zheng’s expression was also extremely reluctant!

"How else can you eat it? Just eat it with your mouth! Could it be that Prince Cheng chewed it and fed it to you?"

Ying Feiyu didn't even raise his eyelids.

"That's not necessary!"

The old guys quickly waved their hands.

"Good guy, now I know that the navy is really not easy to be a part of!"

"Your Highness, when you went to Wo Island before, was it also shaking like this?"

"Of course! We won't go into the deep sea today, we will just drive along the seaside! If we go to the deep sea, there will be many unknown dangers! The wind alone is much stronger than this! It's difficult to stand firm.

It's possible, even if you're lying on the bed, you can be shaken off!"

"What? There's such a big storm?"

After Ying Feiyu's brief introduction, the veterans suddenly gave up the idea of ​​going on a boat trip in the future.

"Of course!"

Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.

"Han Xin led his troops to go to sea by boat. Is there any danger?"

Speaking of the dangers at sea, Ying Zheng suddenly thought of the 300,000 troops heading for the Western Expedition.

So far, there is still no news at all. It would be false to say that I don’t care about it!

"Father, please rest assured. Didn't I say so? The distance is too far and it is very inconvenient to deliver the news. We can just wait!"

Ying Feiyu still said those perfunctory words.

There's nothing he can do about it, he doesn't know what the situation is over there!

Originally, he was still confident, but this old guy always mentioned it, and now he has no idea!

But he can't say it!

If he said that, Ying Zheng would be even more panicked.

Just wait a little longer, there will always be news!

The veterans were used to staying on land, but suddenly they felt uncomfortable while riding on this rickety ship, so they went to bed early!

Ying Feiyu came to the deck alone to get some air. Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng followed him out after a while.

"Father, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I can't sleep because I'm worried about national affairs!"

After hanging around on the boat for so long, Ying Zheng's nervous demeanor was obviously much less tense, and he seemed to have gotten used to it.

"Father, I have already said that the flood in Nanzhou City is a natural disaster, which cannot be changed by human power!"

Ying Feiyu opened his mouth to comfort him.

"The imperial court spends a large amount of money every year to build and strengthen the dyke! The dyke in Nanzhou City is the largest one nearby, so it is impossible not to repair it!"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

"Father, do you think this matter is not as simple as reported?"

"Well! If it's not that someone embezzled the money for repairs, causing the Nanzhou dyke to fall into disrepair, it's just man-made sabotage, taking advantage of the rainy season to cause the dyke to burst and cause civil unrest!"

"No way?"

To be honest, Ying Feiyu really didn't think so much.

Official corruption has occurred in all dynasties.

But he never thought about man-made destruction, causing disasters to the people, and resulting in civil unrest!

Now that the Qin Dynasty is prospering and the people live a prosperous life, who would do this?

"I can't tell now whether it's possible. I'll have to go and see it before I know! But, Feiyu, remember, even if the world is peaceful and the people are rich, but people's hearts are not strong, there will always be people who come out to stir up trouble! What's more, Da Qin is still

There are many remnants of the Six Kingdoms, plus the Xiongnu, Qiang and other places that have just been conquered! Among them, if we are not safe, there will be people who want to instigate and restore the country, so we must cheer up!"

Ying Zheng looked forward, his expression extremely calm, as if he was talking about something other than himself.

Or perhaps, he has become accustomed to these things!

Ever since he was a child, he has been surrounded by intrigues and intrigues.

Even if there is occasional turmoil now, it should be much better than back then!

"Yes! I know it!"

Ying Feiyu was extremely well-behaved this time.

Because he suddenly thought of all the experiences of Ying Zheng in history, and deeply felt how difficult it was for his scumbag father!

"Hey! You are quite obedient today!"

It seems that he is used to Ying Feiyu's rebuttal, and he is really not used to him suddenly becoming so obedient!

"My son has always been very well-behaved, okay?"

"Come on, since you came to Daqin, how many times have you not contradicted me?"

"What's wrong? Father must have remembered it wrong!"

"snort!"

Having a few words with this kid, Ying Zheng felt a lot relieved.

“The sea is really peaceful at night!”

It seemed that Ying Zheng had gradually adapted to the steamship, and he actually opened his arms to feel the cool sea breeze.

"Father, let me tell you, there is indeed a certain danger in the sea, but there is too much wealth hidden in the sea!"

Speaking of the sea, Ying Feiyu's chatterbox opened up immediately and he began to talk to him about the sea.

What kinds of sea fish, shells, and how pearls are formed!

There are also methods of cultivating various seafood and methods of cultivating pearls!

Later, we talked about the depth of the sea water, the pressure on the bottom of the sea, etc.!

All in all, as long as Ying Feiyu knew a thing or two, he told them all.

Ying Zheng just blinked and listened, very seriously!
