Chapter 1337: Building a Treasure Ship

After receiving the timber and delivering it to the new shipyard under construction, Himiko arranged for Bai Feng to have a meal and rest at the Yamatai Palace.

At the same time, Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie also came to the palace to meet Bai Feng.

"Hanzhong Hou, you didn't see with your own eyes, Wen Pin's face at that time, hahaha!"

After Meng Jie, Li Cunxiao and Bai Feng briefly reported the training of the army, they mentioned Wen Pin in the Sea God Festival.

"I saw Wen Pin's eyes almost popped out at that time, it was really interesting, hahaha!"

Meng Jie, who was mixed in the army at that time and pretended to be a soldier, also smiled at Bai Feng at this time.

Wen Pin's shocked expression made Meng Jie feel happy after seeing it.

"You two did a great job in this military parade."

Bai Feng said to Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie with a smile on his face.

For Meng Jie and Li Cunxiao, if a war broke out with Wei, they would stand firmly on Bai Feng's side.

So they were naturally very happy to see Wen Pin being defeated.

After hearing Bai Feng's praise, the smiles on their faces became even stronger.

"If you can really build the treasure ship before this batch of wood runs out, then you two will have the opportunity to show your skills again."

"And this time, in addition to several other island countries, we are also facing the powerful Roman Empire."

Bai Feng then said to Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie.

The development route he planned for Yamatai before was to obtain raw materials from the Malaysian Archipelago and Australia.

However, after having the treasure ship blueprint, Bai Feng's ambition also expanded.

The appearance of the treasure ship in this time period is absolutely an overwhelming advantage.

It is generally no problem to call it a maritime overlord.

After all, this is an ocean-going fleet.

In addition, Bai Feng can equip Meng Jie and Li Cunxiao with a compass and a telescope.

With the evolution of Sinan: the compass, you can make the most of the existing sea charts and records of sea routes to find other countries.

And for the treasure ship, whether it is carrying soldiers or cargo, there is no problem.

In other words, those who are willing to do business with Yamatai, then give them business.

Those who want to be enemies with Yamatai, let them sleep in the sea forever and become nutrients for various fish!

After listening to Bai Feng's words, Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie felt their blood boiling.

It has been so long since they led troops to fight. How can they not be excited to face the Roman Empire right away? !

Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie also have a little understanding of the location of the Roman Empire.

During the Han Dynasty, the Roman Empire had already had exchanges and trade with the Central Plains, which is one of the reasons for the prosperity of the Silk Road.

If they can purchase various raw materials from the Roman Empire, or show off their military power in front of the Roman Empire, for Meng Jie and Li Cunxiao, it is something that makes people excited as long as they think about it.

"Sir, what about the Malaysian Islands and Australia, do we still need to go after we build the treasure ship?"

Then Li Cunxiao asked Bai Feng.

The reason why Bai Feng mentioned these two places before was, first, because they were closer to Yamatai, and second, because the population of these two places was relatively sparse.

So it was used as an early target for the Yamatai fleet to practice.

"Go! Of course we have to go!"

"But the Roman Empire is our ultimate goal!"

Bai Feng gave Li Cunxiao a positive answer after hearing this.

Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"But this is all after the treasure ship is built, and it will take about three years at the earliest."

"The current priority is to build the treasure ship and conduct maritime combat training."

"Even if we are in contact with other countries with a trade mentality, we must be on guard against others."

"If we can turn the place where we land into our own land and let the natives live a better life, it will be a win-win situation!"

Then Bai Feng said to Li Cunxiao, Meng Jie and Himiko at the same time.

Being able to talk about expansion so high-soundingly, even Bai Feng felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie were naturally excited after hearing this, and they wished they could take the treasure ship now and conquer the world.

Himiko was also deeply shocked by the future described by Bai Feng.

"Okay, let's go and take a look at the shipyard under construction."

After talking so much with the three people, Bai Feng now wants to see how the shipyard under construction in Yamatai is progressing.

Then Himiko took Bai Feng to the shipyard.

After arriving at the shipyard under construction, Bai Feng looked at the shipyard that had been built for the most part, and said to Himiko:

"After the shipyard is built, we will start manufacturing the treasure ship directly."

"The sooner the treasure ship is manufactured, the more time we have to develop."

Himiko replied to Bai Feng:

"Okay, sir, I understand."

After getting the wood for Yamatai shipbuilding and seeing the shipyard, Bai Feng returned to Hanzhong through the portal.

The speed of railway construction in Hanzhong is also getting faster and faster.

Not only because the craftsmen are already familiar with the construction of railways, but also because Bai Feng has recruited a group of craftsmen again for the construction of railways.

The total number of craftsmen who are currently building the railway has exceeded 6,000.

The speed of railway construction has also exceeded the distance of two miles per day.

According to the current speed of railway construction, the remaining 100 miles can be completed in about two months.

It is about three months faster than Bai Feng's previous plan.

In general, explosives were used for mining, and steam trains were used to transport ore and iron ingots, which greatly shortened the construction time of the railway.

That night, Bai Feng returned to the Marquis' Mansion, and Cao Jie also brought Bai Feng good news.

"My husband, the nobles who had invested in the soap workshop in Yecheng before, after two dividends, all wanted to continue to invest in the soap workshop."

"Should we start building soap workshops in Qingzhou and Xuzhou now, and open stores at the same time?"

After Cao Jie finished speaking, he looked at Bai Feng with anticipation.

Bai Feng once told Cao Jie that in the future, the people of Wei would be able to use soap.

Now Cao Jie feels that this goal is getting closer and closer.

And the soap workshop has begun to produce cheaper soap.

Although there is a gap between the appearance and the fragrance and the soap, the cleaning function is basically the same.

Once it was launched, it was very popular among the people in Hanzhong.

"Yes! This is a good thing!"

Bai Feng said in surprise.
