Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 363

[Chapter 363 Naval Academy]

“His Royal Highness really thinks that others dare not think, but it seems that only His Highness has this ability at the moment, after all, the goods of the palace can travel smoothly throughout the entire palace.” Yang He looked at Zhao Xu with only admiration in his eyes.

In fact, this kind of thing has been done by the wealthy family before.

Even before the king of Yan woke up, the nobles of Yan County raised the price of rice together, making the people unable to afford food, and forcing the people to sell their land.

If King Yan can establish a merchant alliance throughout Dasong through this soon-to-be-established business alliance, even if it cannot affect the entire Dasong, it would be terrifying to affect half of it.

At that time, the price of rice in Dasong will rise or fall if King Yan says a word.

“This is just an idea of this king, whether it can be done or not, but there are some things that have to be tried.” Zhao Xu said slowly.

In this era, people only understand the war with real swords and guns, but they don’t know the term commercial war, and they don’t have this vigilance.

He is currently going to take advantage of this loophole.

However, this is a grand plan that requires the firm to implement it carefully.

Then he discussed some details with Yang He.

For example, while establishing a business alliance, expand the business categories of Yan County Commercial Bank, and make two-handed preparations.

On the one hand, merchants are used, and on the other hand, Yanjun Commercial Bank also participates in the trade of grain and cloth.

You can’t just rely on Wangfu goods to make profits.

Of course it would be best if the firm itself could control Dasong’s economic lifeline.

After deciding on this matter, Yang He walked out with a shocked face.

He was still immersed in this grand plan and couldn’t extricate himself.

And he feels that he is not the head of a firm now, but a general fighting in the commercial battlefield.

Back at the firm, he ordered people to fetch the list of merchants that had dealings with the firm, and carefully considered the merchants who could be drawn into the merchant alliance.

Now he’s going to devote himself to the project.

Then he summoned the officials of the firm and told them about his plan to participate in the trade of grain, cloth, tea, porcelain, silk, etc.

…

Wangfu.

As soon as Yang He left, Feng Er knocked on the door of the study.

“Your Highness, Zhou Yi is back.” Feng’er said.

“Let him in.” Zhao Xu laughed when he heard this.

Zhou Yi was called back by him.

He had no doubts about Zhou Yi’s enthusiasm for the fleet, but he had great doubts about Zhou Yi’s ability.

After all, it is impossible for him to know how to operate a sailing warship and how a sailing warship fights at sea.

“Zhou Yi sees Your Highness.”

Not long after, Zhou Yi walked in and bowed to him.

“Excuse me.” Zhao Xu waved his hand and looked at Zhou Yi.

This kid was a lot darker, and he had a bit of a murderous look on him.

“How’s your crew training these past few months?” Zhao Xu asked.

Zhou Yi grinned when he heard the words, showing two rows of white teeth, “Returning to Your Highness, they now know how to steer a warship and how to fight a water battle. It’s just that I often go to watch Chen Shou build a ship, and I feel that I practice It doesn’t seem to be very useful, because the boats they built seem to be very different from the current Dasong boats.”

After a pause, he continued, “So later, the officials simply let them practice water skills.”

Zhao Xu nodded Head, Zhou Yi can do this, he is already very satisfied.

After all, he let Zhou Yi go just to prepare in advance and recruit the crew.

The final training still depends on him to guide.

After all, one thing is indispensable on his warship, artillery.

The crew had to learn how to handle the guns.

“I asked you to come back this time to establish the Naval Academy and teach you some things.” Zhao Xu smiled.

“Naval Academy?” Zhou Yi showed a look of surprise, “What is the navy? Isn’t it a navy?”

Zhao Xu smiled, “The navy conquers a wider ocean, but the navy can only sail in the river. Do you want to be a navy or a navy division?”

Zhou Yi scratched his head, “Naturally, the navy, but His Highness wants to build a school for the navy?”

“That’s right, because in the future the navy fleet will be more important than the prince’s family “Zhao Xu said sternly, the age of great exploration is the era of crazy expansion of Western civilization.

They walked out of the island, massacred the aborigines, and occupied a large area of the world.

The benefits brought by these lands have maintained their hegemony for hundreds of years. For the contemporary Zhao Xu, they have a clear background, so naturally they attach great importance to the navy.

Zhou Yi was stunned, he didn’t expect King Yan to value the fleet so much.

Surprised at the same time, he felt excited.

However, he still wondered: “Why does Your Highness attach so much importance to the naval fleet?”

Zhao Xu got up and went to the Dasong map in front of the study, and he said: “The students of the Government Affairs School now know one thing, that is, the earth is not square. It’s round.”

“Round?” Zhou Yi’s mouth could hold a fist.

Zhao Xu picked up a glass ball on the wooden stand.

This is a handicraft made by a glass workshop.

“Or, it looks like this.” He pointed to the glass ball.

Then he took Zhou Yi to the desk, picked up a brush and drew the outline of the world map on the paper.

“This is Dasong, this is Beidi, this is Koryo, this is Dongying, this is Jiaozhi, and there are many countries and lands here…” Zhao Xu pointed to the world map and explained to Zhou Yi one by one.

Zhou Yi didn’t speak the whole time, he looked like a fool, but then his eyes gradually changed, as if King Yan in front of him was a fool.

Now he suspects that King Yan is insane again.

How could they live on a ball?

How could there be so many countries besides Da Song? And maybe even stronger than Da Song?

While thinking about it, he cast a help-seeking look at Feng’er at the door.

Feng’er didn’t know why, so she didn’t bother to pay attention to him.

“Did you listen to what I said?” Seeing Zhou Yi looking around, Zhao Xu emphasized his tone.

“I’m listening, I’m listening.” Zhou Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Your Highness, I would like to ask, is Your Highness still taking medicine recently?”

“What kind of medicine?” Zhao Xu asked back, and then replied Come on.

The kid thought he was crazy.

He did this to shock Zhou Yi and let him study with an open mind. He didn’t expect him to think so.

So he raised his body and said, “You don’t believe what I say, do you?”

“I dare not.” Zhou Yi quickly lowered his head.

Zhao Xu sneered, “Actually, is what I said true? If you have the guts, you can verify it yourself. You set off from the sea in the east and sail eastward. I guarantee that you can return to Dasong. But the premise is that you will not die at sea.”

“Really?” Seeing King Yan’s solemn expression, Zhou Yi seemed to be lying.

“Of course it’s true, but before you have to learn how to navigate the sea and identify directions, I don’t know if you have the guts to do so after you finish your studies.” Zhao Xu provoked deliberately.

Not only was Zhou Yi not afraid, but he suddenly became excited.

He said: “Your Highness, I will try it myself.”

It was supposed to be updated normally, but the snail already had irritable bowel, and I didn’t know what I ate wrong today, and the diarrhea caused the whole person to collapse, and there was only one chapter left. .

Snail will try to make up the two updates, and make up for the first update, but I can’t guarantee it,

because Snail feels like there is a curse on me. Every time I guarantee something, there will always be unexpected events, which will make me unable to fulfill it. ?? ??
