When it is the first month of spring, the sea tides are surging, the waves are rippling, the seagulls are gathering, and sailing boats are like clouds. This is the outer sea of ​​Xinjiangdu.

Since the new ship was born last year, the captain Xin Qingji set up the place of Xinjiangdu. Later, Chang Hui, the Protector of Annan Protectorate, sent his son Wei to serve as the guardian of Xinjiangdu.

So, the ships of Fanyu came one after another.

Especially those huge whaling ships, taking advantage of the wind, set sail from Fanyu and Yang Fan arrived in the past few months.

Because, some people have found a large number of sperm whales and right whales on the coast of Xinjiangdu.

So, the whaling ship that smelled the golden smell came from the wind.

There is no way, now the Han Dynasty has a strong demand for whale blubber.

Take the fat and refine the oil to make it the purpose of burning lamps.

From Weiyang Palace to ordinary markets, the demand for lighting is infinite and the market is infinite.

Not to mention, whale oil can be made into various other products.

For example, soap, antifreeze oil, and even equipment and water wheels used in Shaofu after processing and refining are lubricating objects, which can also be used for military maintenance and rust removal of armor.

Blubber is almost universal.

Therefore, King Liu Xu of Korea gained tens of millions of benefits every year by relying on the whales from the Fusang Strait and the Korean Strait.

This is still the Prime Minister's order: banning pregnancy, nursing mother whales and young whales.

In the Fusang Strait, North Korea, there are often ships patrolling. Once a ship is found to have violated the ban, the income will be confiscated at the least, and the ship will be confiscated at the worst. The ship will be confiscated at the worst. The ship will be exiled to the Western Regions to farm with the Hu people.

Otherwise, I don’t know how big the North Korean king’s whale oil transaction can be!

However, no matter how domineering the Prime Minister is, he cannot reach the sea of ​​poisonous bodies tens of thousands of miles away.

Therefore, since September last year, dozens of whaling ships have crossed the seas and arrived thousands of miles.

After arriving in Xinjiangdu, everyone was surprised to find that there was no worry about freezing here.

Just by taking the weather into good shape, you can go out to the sea every day.

It’s really a daily stake in gold, and the tendons of your hands are painful after counting money.

The only concern is this poisonous sea, with impermanent wind and waves and uncertain weather.

There are often ships, because they go too deep into the sea, and they are overturned by wind and waves, and the ship is destroyed and people are killed.

Therefore, after learning a lesson, everyone can only cruise the seas hundreds of miles near Xinjiangdu.

The Guang'an is a whaling ship cruising in search of whales.

The ship's length is twelve zhang, three zhang wide, and two thighs above and below. It is the latest whaling ship that was launched from the Jiangdu Shipyard two years ago.

Its structural design and structure are designed by the most experienced ship officers in the building and boat office, and they use many new technologies.

For example, military equipment such as sextant, compass, and trimi-mile mirror are all available.

There is a crossbow powered by a winch, which is specially designed for hunting giant whales.

The crossbow machine is huge, comparable to the past bed crossbow. It can shoot a hundred steps away and enter the flesh and blood of the giant beast. The arrows are full of barbs. Once it hits, no matter how big the beast is, it cannot escape.

At this moment, the "Guang'an" caught a huge sperm whale.

At least ten feet of huge body, struggling and rolling in the sea waves.

The sea surface was stained with blood, and the giant beast was at a loss, dying, and there was no strength to dive again.

When the ship owner Yang Han saw this, he couldn't help laughing: "This ten million is really worth the money!"

He wanted to go in the past to hunt whales in North Korea, rent ships provided by the King of Korea, and in the vast sea, he needed to constantly look for any trace of giant beasts that might appear on the sea surface, and then choose a suitable size to track them. In the end, he had to take advantage of the giant beasts to risk his life while they were floating up, and attack the giant beasts in small boats, using spears and other weapons tied with thick ropes.

If you hunt ten times often, you may not be able to succeed once.

Moreover, even if successful, the risks are still huge.

The waves, weather, and the resistance of giant beasts may cause casualties.

Unlike today, the giant ship under your feet is strong and reliable. As long as you don’t encounter a big storm, there will be no danger.

The winch-driven crossbow machine has a very high accuracy, especially when aiming at those giant beasts a hundred steps away, not to mention that they are hitting 100 shots, but at least six or seven out of ten.

What is particularly important is that the size of the whale is no longer restricted.

Therefore, they can try their best to hunt whales of huge size, instead of just like in the past, only choosing the right target.

This is really a world of difference.

Just like the sperm whale I am hunting now, in the past, even if I see it, I can only let it go because the risk is too great.

But now, we can quietly wait for it to die.

Then you can get close to the whale corpse and calmly cut off the whale blubber from its body.

Just one end can extract hundreds of barrels of whale oil, worth millions!

Thinking of this, Yang Han couldn't help but hum a little tune, thinking in his heart: "I'm a vicious person for a lifetime, and I'm only a few years old!"

"After a few years, I can buy a mansion in Chang'an, enjoy my old age, and tease my grandson!"

At this moment, a cloud sail suddenly appeared in the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile in Yang Han's hand.

Then, more than ten giant ships came over the waves.

Countless giant sails occupy all the vision in the Mile Mile Mile, and a black dragon flag floats faintly among the cloud sails.

Yang Han was shocked: "The court finally sent a boat to come!"

"But I don't know if it was the Ming Gong who led it..."

"Looking at this lineup, I guess he must be a Duke!"

So he quickly rang the gong, summoned the sailors, and ordered: "The king's army has arrived. You must be careful and not catch any banned beasts in the future!"

"No!" The sailors looked at each other, and could only sing a promise helplessly.

…………………………

Zhang Anshi stood at the head of the ship, his slightly white beard swaying in the sea breeze, and the dark green beads in front of him swayed gently.

But his mind couldn't help but floated back to Chang'an.

In July last year, Xin Qingji returned to the court to report his duties, and was immediately granted the title of Nan'an Hou for his body poisoning and was appointed as General of the Louchuan, with a rank of 2,000 stones and a fief of 4,000 households.

In August, the Xuanshi Hall was discussing affairs, and under the promotion of the prime minister, the structure of the Son-Power Protectorate was settled.

His rank is more than ten thousand stones and his rank is more than nine ministers. He is responsible for the body and the internal and external affairs, and has the mission of conquering internal and external officials, comforting foreign countries, transforming King Xuan into foreign lands, and spreading virtues overseas.

In fact, this is forcing a noble official to volunteer to suppress the poison.

Moreover, it was Xiang Zhuang's sword dancing in Pei Gong.

It was for him, the leader of the imperial party.

Therefore, Zhang Anshi had no choice but to pinch his nose and voluntarily wrote a letter to ask for the emperor to share his worries and the prime minister to govern the government.

Therefore, in September of the autumn, the imperial edict was issued to "help the danger and determine the meritorious officials, and the Minister of State ordered Zhang Anshi to govern the body and control the body and poison the body, and moved to the capital of the Poison Protectorate, and granted a fortune to act, and to governor the body and poison the body and the internal and external power to assist the affairs of the superiors and subordinates'.

Simply put, he, the leader of the Imperial Party, was kicked out of Chang'an and was half-exiled.

Even if it sounds nice on the surface, it is actually Zhang Zizhong who is clearing the obstacles to seizing power at least that's what Zhang Anshi thinks.

"The proverb says: Everyone knows Zhang Zizhong's heart..." The loyal minister of the Han Dynasty sighed with great thoughts: "I leave Chang'an, but who will help the emperor!"

The eyes are all around and the nose are visible, and the nose is visible, and no one dares to interrupt.

Because Zhang Anshi was the ruling brother who was in power and was a very old man, and he was the Shangshu Ling who had been in charge of the center for a long time and held great power.

Over the years, he has had this attitude every day.

The government and the country have long been used to it.

Some people once wanted to frame the Prime Minister to report to the Prime Minister that "Shangshu Ling was planning to commit ill-conspiracy and conspiracy to cause rebellion."

As a result, Zhang Anshi had nothing to do, but the whistleblower was "traveled from Kunming" and went to Dian Kingdom to become a minister with the Dian King...

Of course, there are also many loyal Han officials who "miss the late emperor" who secretly contacted the Shangshu Ling, hoping to "reveal loyal and righteous people and diplomatic generals to eliminate traitors."

Then……

Nothing happened.

Where can I live under the three trees of the Jinyiwei?

In short, this person in power misses the late emperor, the Han Dynasty, and the emperor is all okay.

But outsiders should not think about it.

It is exactly what the Prime Minister once said: Under the law, everyone is equal, and the ruling officials are even more equal.

After Zhang Anshi complained, he returned to normal. He turned his head to Xin Qingji beside him and asked, "Here is a poisonous person. If you are ready for military war in the future, you will have to work hard for the general!"

"Don't dare!" Xin Qingji quickly saluted: "The last general is the leader of the ruler!"

Now, Xin Qingji is the general of the Lou Chuan and has officially become the successor of his uncle Xin Wuling.

But whether you can inherit the family business smoothly still has to be exchanged for martial arts.
To be continued...
