The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Not to mention the reincarnation of a starved ghost, he is a messenger at any rate, he is specially trained, and he will never do anything that loses his image, unless the food is too delicious!

"This baby...hasn't eaten in months?" After sending him away, Liu Tao sighed silently.

"It's normal to be a barbarian who has never seen the world." Jian Yong smiled, "It's just that I don't understand why two ports are set up there..."

"Let's trade!" Liu Tao replied, "There are not many gold, silver and copper in China. Recently, the economy has gradually improved, and the money has become a little insufficient. There seem to be quite a few in the Japanese country. At that time, it will be simply melted there, and then Bring it back to make money."

"I see, Your Majesty is wise!" Jian Yong nodded. As for why Liu Tao knew there were more gold, silver and copper there, there was no need to ask. Asking is a disciple of the Immortal Family, and he is used to it.

Inevitably, a reminder sentence: "The journey to Yamatai is long, and guarding a foreign land, for soldiers..."

"It's not very far. From Tsushima Island, you can reach Yamatai within a day. Maybe it can promote the development of Lelang County. In addition, from Jiangdong to the east, along the island chain all the way north, you can also When we arrive, we can take Penglai and the abbot by the way."

"Your Majesty has always said that these three fairy islands really exist?" Jian Yong asked a little excitedly.

"There must be, I don't know if there are any gods on it." Liu Tao thought for a while, "Penglai is a big island (Yizhou) in the southeast of Dongzhi County, Kuaiji; Yingzhou is in the northeast of Penglai, it is a The big island chain may be called Yingzhou; the last abbot is south of Lelang and west of Tsushima...the specific location needs to be explored (Jeju Island)."

Who knows, anyway, these islands haven't been named yet.

Yizhou Island is indeed not very pleasant, and it would be good to change it to Penglai, especially there is a mountain range over there, which can be changed to Penglai Fairy Mountain in the future!

Besides, Taiwan itself is also the most suitable name selected in the transliteration. The early name was "Dayuan", which is called ugly.Even if it is read in Han Yayu now, there are still some pronunciations of "big injustice".

"Speaking of..." Liu Tao seemed to think of something, "Isn't the pier already built?"

"A suitable sea-going ship is still under construction..." Jian Yong didn't expect Liu Tao to ask this out of the blue. After thinking about it, he also remembered this.

After all, Dahan is not particularly curious about the sea.Many people in this era still think that the sea is already the end of the world or something.That is to say, His Majesty said that there are three great fairy mountains over there, and even marked the approximate location, so that everyone has the desire to explore.

After deducting this, building a larger ship for sea transportation is indeed much more convenient than land transportation after calculation by the Ministry of Household Affairs, so funds were invested to start construction and research in this area.

"When do we have to inspect it and build up an exploration fleet, at least to explore the Dahan coastal waterway?" Liu Tao felt that he had indeed overlooked an important thing.

"I will make arrangements as soon as possible." Jian Yong replied quickly.

Chapter 683 Preconditions for the Great Voyage

If the world is unified, then the Yellow River and the Yangtze River will not need special naval forces.The original navy, as a combat force, was transferred to the harbor to train as a real navy.

Those who are unqualified will stay and serve as the armed police on the water, and will be under the command of the local captain.

In today's Han Dynasty, the thieves in each city are equivalent to the police, responsible for maintaining law and order and handling cases;

The last is the army, four expeditions, four towns, four peaces and four peaces. Sixteen generals are stationed in various provinces other than Zhili Province according to their jurisdiction.

Liu Tao divides the world into four military regions, Sizheng is responsible for conquests in four directions; Four Towns are responsible for guarding the four military regions; Siping is responsible for guarding the borders of the military regions;

The standard establishment of Sizheng is [-] soldiers, which can be expanded to [-] during wartime; the four towns are also [-], but can only be expanded to [-] during wartime; the regular establishment of Siping is [-], and can be expanded to [-] during wartime; Four safety two thousand establishments, and the maximum expansion to five thousand during wartime.

Before the change, the fifth school of the Northern Army had only 5000 people in the final analysis, but it immediately expanded to 5 people when it arrived in the local area.

The problem is that Liu Tao, a big man, has a relatively large territory, so more soldiers are needed to guard it.Even if there is no war, Liu Tao will never reduce military expenditures, accounting for [-]% to [-]% of national income.In wartime, it will even be directly increased to [-]%.

Although the world is safe, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger!Liu Tao is very clear about this truth. He doesn't want to wait until someone knocks on the country's door with force one day before he thinks about developing and catching up.

There is an army, and of course a navy must also be formed.The leader was Gan Ning, followed by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.As for Cai Mao's two nephews who were not up to date, they naturally let it cool off.

Sun Ce surrendered, and Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang also recruited them to serve in the navy. With five outstanding naval generals, the formation of the navy was naturally much easier.

Come to Dongmou Port, which is east of Dongmou County in Donglai County. In fact, it is the later Weihai Port and the main port of Dahan.You can reach Liaodong County in the north, and you can reach Lelang County in the east.

In Dahan, it should be the most cost-effective port.As for the port in Wu Jun, which was later known as Hangzhou Port, the cost performance is not high, and it has to go south to Dongzhi County before continuing to explore Penglai Island in the south.

Fortunately, there are Zhang'an and Yongning counties along the way, that is, Taizhou and Wenzhou in later generations, so there is no need to worry about insufficient supplies.

"Are you still used to the sea?" When he came to the barracks at the port, Liu Tao went to meet the naval commander Gan Ning in person.

"The sea is much more bumpy than the river, and the climate changes more intensely. However, the style of sea-going ship given by His Majesty has been preliminarily judged to be feasible, and the follow-up is to wait for the real big ship to be built." Gan Ning said excitedly.

Compared with surfing on the river, he prefers to wander on the sea, especially when he knows that there are countless islands and even unknown continents beyond the vast sea, he seems to have awakened the soul of an adventurer.

The navy of the Han Dynasty is actually the same expedition team of the Han Dynasty. In the future, the people will also encourage them to explore the ocean, but it is mainly the military.There must always be some sweetness first, and then you can stimulate others to explore.

Another reason for not encouraging them at the beginning is still the same sentence: the population is insufficient, and I don't want too many people to die at sea.

Otherwise, for the gimmick of looking for the three great fairy mountains, it is estimated that many people will break their heads and want to explore the sea.If there is not enough preparation and enough experience, then going to sea is basically courting death.

It is of course useful to be able to cheat some old aristocratic families.However, for Liu Tao, the most important thing for a big man at present is the population, and there is no need to learn from the excellent experience of foreign countries in population control.

China and foreign countries have different national conditions. If you work sincerely in China, there is still hope; but in foreign countries, if you don’t get rich, there is no hope in life.

The middle class is to maintain the most basic decency. In order to maintain this decency, they have to work hard and pray that there will be no illness, or an epidemic or something.

People at the bottom, not to mention renting a house, those who own a house probably have to pay property taxes very reluctantly.Not to mention the sudden unemployment, the property tax could not be paid, and finally the tax bureau auctioned off the house.Yes, you can own your own house and land, but if you can't pay the taxes to maintain the land and house, sorry, the house is not yours!

By the way, this tax has to be paid once a year...

If you want to stand up, you can only get rich.If you want to get rich, then take risks, or be famous.So basically you can see all kinds of 'population control' series.From this point of view, this is really the policy of those countries to control the population.

"How is the exploration of the waterway near the sea?" Liu Tao asked, not recalling the time now.

"According to His Majesty's wishes, we have explored the offshore waterways as much as possible to confirm the appropriate route. At the same time, we have deduced the positions of the ports according to the 'longitude and latitude' calculation method taught by His Majesty. In the future, even if we deviate from the offshore sea, we can rely on the theodolite to know the approximate route. Gan Ning said excitedly.

When sailing on the sea, the biggest fear is getting lost, but as long as you know where the port is, it will be much easier to return.

In fact, not only the theodolite, Liu Tao also set the 0° meridian of the Prime Meridian in Luoyang.

"In the future, there will be more and more similar routes, and more and more locations will be located. At that time, everyone who goes to sea will not forget your contribution, and you will also become a great navigator who will be famous in history!" Liu Tao said impassionedly.

"Your servant must do his best!" Gan Ning expressed his stance immediately after being told.

"Recently, we have started exchanges with the Wa Kingdom." Liu Tao immediately entered the topic, "After the big ship is built and the trial voyage is completed, I hope you can explore Penglai and Yingzhou. Or go to the Wa Kingdom from Fangzhang or Tsushima Island, in the In the north and south of Kyushu, set up two ports as trade ports with Japan."

"Wouldn't it be better to just take down such a foreign land as the Wa country?" Gan Ning didn't understand.

"Because we don't have that many people in the past, and emigrating overseas is different from emigrating to the Western Regions. Regardless of Jiangnan or the Western Regions, we can at least find a way to return. If you emigrate overseas, if you don't have ships, you will have to stay overseas for the rest of your life. People must be mentally prepared , It will take a while." Liu Tao explained.

If possible, of course he intends to destroy the Wa Kingdom, and then occupy the four islands.Insufficient population is not the biggest obstacle, the important thing is immigration, which is indeed not favored by most people.

If he wants to play great voyages, Liu Tao thinks that he can start with Sanxian Mountain first, and use myths and legends to trick people into living in the past.After you get used to it, you can start to move to Japan and Hainan Island, and it will be much easier to move to Southeast Asia in the future.

Chapter 684 How to Inherit Technology

There is no rush for great voyages, there are not enough boats, and there is no test of wind and waves, so there is nothing to talk about.

For ships sailing offshore, it's okay to carry troops around, but there is no way to stay five miles away from the shore.There is still a compass and a telescope, otherwise it is still possible to not see land beyond five miles.

Also hope that you will not encounter wind and waves, otherwise you will not be able to land before the arrival of the wind and waves, and you may capsize...
