"The area north of Liaodong?" King Qin asked at this time.

"Yes, they are all plain locations." Meng Yi replied.

In 1966, the Royal Korean Navy was established

"Liaobei?" King Qin asked. ?

"Why don't you know what happened in Liaobei?" King Qin then asked Meng Yi.

"Returning to the king, it means that the expedition team sent by Qin before got the news, and the news was only delivered the day before yesterday. And the news from the expedition is more than a year late." Meng Yi explained.

"Oh. So that's the case." King Qin nodded.Regarding this matter, King Qin nodded.

"Zhao Gao. Find out the information." King Qin ordered at this time.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Gao searched intently.After Meng Yi saw it, he started to introduce it actively.

"According to specific reports, in the north of Liaodong, except for the mountains in the east and west, there are plains in the middle. Because of the melting of snow in winter and the surge of rivers, there are a lot of swamps there. However, these lands are extremely fertile. If If it is opened, Qin will definitely have a second Hetao Plain." Meng Yi introduced.

"Qin has enough food." King Qin said to Meng Yi.

"I heard that Qin's recent grain exports have been continuously exported to Zhao, South Korea, Wei, Qi, and Yan. This has solved the long-term low price range of grain, not just these." King Qin Then said.

"The widow also heard that the price of meat in Qin State is also going to rise, and the shepherds of Qin State are very happy. If there is a huge agricultural punishment and animal husbandry stir-fry at this time, the widow will consider whether to control the price of wheat , the effective increase in wheat prices, after all, in the long run, wheat farms are extremely disgusting, and we continue to support them with interest-free loans and tax exemptions, and I am afraid that they will not be able to maintain it for a long time." Qin Wang said worriedly.

"However, the current price of wheat has risen, and I am a little more relaxed about this." King Qin said.The popularity of wheat has brought great benefits to Qinggou, especially for farmers to eat and grow wheat, which is much easier than planting millet. With the addition of chemical fertilizers and changes in the farming system, this has increased the grain output of Qin. a lot.After wheat was ground into flour, Qin Guoxun popularized it, and then all countries generally accepted flour. The main reason for Qin's rescue was flour.It can be said that wheat has become the main crop and exists.The price trend of wheat is directly related to the price of grain.

"The state of Qin can't need too much grain. There is enough grain." King Qin continued.As a result, Qin State lost interest in opening Liaobei, while Meng Yi was very inclined to open Liaobei in his heart.However, the king of Qin quickly considered the price of grain and vetoed the opening of Liaobei, mainly because the opening of Liaobei would need to spend more financial funds, which could not be financed.This is the main reason why King Qin is not interested.

"However, Your Majesty, the matter of Yan State must be resolved, especially in the direction of Goguryeo. If Yan State retreats, Goguryeo will rise rapidly. After all, Yan State has suffered heavy losses above, and these losses are the key to the rapid rise of Goguryeo. Conditions." Meng Yi said.

"Although Goguryeo is a secondary direction in Qin's strategic structure, its influence often comes from the secondary direction." Meng Yi said.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"It depends on the attitude of the Yan people." King Qin said.

"My attitude towards this matter is to 'deal with it, and wait for the special envoy of Yan to raise conditions on his own initiative. If we raise conditions too much, how can we take the initiative." Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

"Let's deal with the matter of Yan Kingdom coldly." Shang Wen decided.Shangwen also got Yan Guo later.

Regarding the affairs of Yan State, Shang Wen believes that Qin State can do very little. After all, Yan State needs a lot of financial funds to complete their tasks on the battlefield, but these things are no longer what Shang Wen can do.No one wants to spend a lot of money to supply other countries to fight.

In Chu State · Shacheng.

"Take a look. This is a map I bought from a Korean businessman. This map was made by the Koreans themselves." Xiang Yan said to Xiang Liang who came in like a treasure.

"This. Is this made by Koreans?" Xiang Liang asked in disbelief.

"That's right ⊥ is made by Koreans, isn't it good?" Xiang Yan asked.

"It's the same as the map made by the people of Qin." Xiang Liang said after reading it.

"Why are the maps made by the Qin people the same as those made by the Koreans? Also, what do they mean by these things?" Xiang Yan asked while pointing at the latitude and longitude lines.

"This seems to be the result of the astronomy exhibition of the Qin people. The Qin people have an instrument called the theodolite. With this instrument, they can mark the direction and azimuth without relying on geographical indications, and then mark a certain area according to a certain latitude and longitude. In this way If so, the mountains and rivers in this area can be measured according to the sextant, and then marked on it." Xiang Liang explained.

"I only know these things from the introduction of the people of Qin State. I heard that this is something that high school students in Qin State learn. However, this is a lesson, and no one will force them to learn it. However, there are such courses in the military, mainly for artillery and engineering soldiers. Learned." Xiang Liang said at this time.

"Really?" Xiang Yan asked.

"Yes, I didn't understand these things at first, but then I took the initiative to ask the people of Qin State, and the people of Qin State told me about these things. If you want to learn, it is also possible. As long as you pay a certain tuition fee, the learning style will be taught. This is not advanced knowledge, as long as you do it and contact, it will be fine." Xiang Liang said.

"Oh. In this case, we have to send people to Qin to study. I guess, the Koreans also learned from the people of Qin, and they will have such a big development. Otherwise, how could their nautical charts be so standard? , if we master such advanced technology, we can not rely on coastal navigation." Xiang Yan said.

Chu's navigation technology is very backward. When sailing, at most there is a compass. As for looking at the stars, there are few people who go to sea, and they don't know much. Most of them rely on coastal navigation. As long as they have coastline, they can solve a large part of the problem.For example, the coastline can indicate a big problem of direction. If they enter the deep sea, they can only know the direction with a compass, but if they go south without a sextant and a nautical clock, it is still very difficult for them to know the specific position. .In addition, there is the problem of supplies for sailing. Sailing along the coastline can solve this problem to a large extent.With sufficient supplies, they can quickly solve this huge problem.

"Just. These." At this time.Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yan in embarrassment.

"Just what?" Xiang Yan asked.

"I don't have any money. You must know that sending some people to Qin State usually costs a lot. In addition, there are tuition fees, etc. I don't know how much it will cost after finishing the studies. This money." Xiang Liang was embarrassed. Speaking of.

"At present, Qin State will not help, and neither will we." Xiang Liang said embarrassedly.

"Oh." Xiang Yan nodded at this time, all problems are still without money, if there is money, it can be solved, money is not the problem, the problem is not having money, which makes Xiang Yan feel very embarrassed.

"Okay. Let's take a look at this map. Maybe we can know something else?" Xiang Yan said at this time.The reason why Xiang Yan got this nautical chart is because he was marching and fighting, so he has a very preference for maps, especially these maps are nautical charts, and the marking method on them is the same as that of Qin State. Xiang Yan once spent a lot of money The map of Qin State was collected at a high price. The map of Qin State is definitely the standard of all countries, but some things are not clear enough.

"General, please look, this is a series of our colonies, and they are all gathered here." Xiang Liang pointed out while speaking.

"Yes. Good." Xiang Yan nodded after looking over.

"Just." At this moment.Xiang Liang noticed a problem.

"Across from us, there is actually an island occupied by the Koreans." Xiang Liang exclaimed in surprise.

"Queen's Island." Xiang Yan looked at the map and said.

"Yeah, it's so close." Xiang Yan looked at the map in disbelief and said.

"If the Korean ships rush over at once, our colony will suffer great losses." Xiang Yan said worriedly.

"Also, in these places, our ships are not as good as the Korean ships. The Korean ships are fast and have fierce firepower. Their cannons once reached more than 50. This is definitely a strong enemy." Xiang Liang said worriedly .

"Yes." Xiang Yan nodded.

"The Korean threat is too great." Xiang Yan thought for a while and said.But I can only say this. After all, they can't do anything to the Koreans. The current state of Chu is very weak, and South Korea has passed the state of Chu. Xiang Yan is very uncomfortable.

"General, look here." As he said that, Xiang Liang pointed to the bottom of the map. It turns out that there are so many islands to the south of us, and there are more islands than land. "Xiang Liang said in surprise.

"Oh." Xiang Yan checked immediately.

"Wait. What is this?" At this time, Xiang Yan looked at the map.The word "Nanyang." is written on it.

"Nanyang." Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang said at the same time.

"The Koreans may actively develop Nanyang." Xiang Yan said first.

"Yes, General, you can see how detailed Nanyang's markings are." Xiang Liang said.

"Well. It seems that Nanyang has been noticed by Koreans." Xiang Yan said.

"General, the Koreans are actively exploring the South Seas. This shows that the South Seas have great benefits. We can also open the South Seas. But this one requires navigation, and there are many islands. It is impossible for our ships to go more and more." Xiang Liang worried. Speaking of.This is indeed a fact. Chu’s ships have no experience in deep-sea navigation, especially relying on sextants and other measuring instruments after going deep into the ocean. They do not have such technical means, which limits their navigation capabilities. The ships can only sail along the coastline, which is a kind of torture for them.Because there are many hidden reefs on the coastline, if it is too close, it is easy to hit the reef; if it is too far away, it is easy to enter the deep sea. If you enter the deep sea unconsciously, it is difficult to get out by luck.

"Our ships can only follow the coastline, which is a technical problem." At this time, Xiang Liang said to Xiang Yan with a bitter face.In fact, he also knows.According to such requirements, it is impossible for Chu to reach Nanyang.Open Nanyang, even though Chu State thinks very well.However, it cannot be realized because their ship navigation capabilities and technical capabilities are very limited.

"What's here?" Just when Xiang Liang felt helpless, Xiang Yan made Xiang Liang look at a strange thing.
