"Switch! Must change!" Emperor Gan Wu replied firmly without any hesitation.
After saying that, he stood up and looked at Li Changfeng with a serious expression: "I will leave it to you about growing sweet potatoes. This matter is of great significance to the big work. I don't need my father to say more, right?"
Li Changfeng shook his head: "No need."
He came to find Emperor Gan Wu not only for this matter, but also changed his tone: "My son is going to the South China Sea to ask you for leave."
Emperor Gan Wu's face darkened: "Boy, do you dislike the coldness of the capital and want to go to the south to avoid the cold? Tell you, if I don't know, you'll just give up this heart. Think about growing sweet potatoes!"
Li Changfeng shouted and said, "Father, in your eyes, is this kind of person?"
To complain, Li Changfeng explained in detail the lack of fine salt tea beer and glass products in Fanbang, which said that he could earn a huge amount of silver and gold for the big work.
Finally, he added: "Father, there are thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes in the ships in the South China Sea, which can be used as seeds. The sons have to get them back in person and hand them over to others. !”
Li Changfeng actually didn't tell the truth.
He went there himself, of course not just for sweet potatoes. He was thinking about the diamonds and gems that Benjamin said were hidden under the sea.
I have to go there in person to clean them.
Emperor Gan Wu thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, I'm sure! But you can't walk on the waterway. If you don't take a long time, you may encounter danger. Just take a boat down the river and head straight to the South China Sea."
Li Changfeng laughed and said, "Father, you can eat sweet potatoes next year, and you can eat as much as you want!"
Emperor Gan Wu nodded and looked at Gao Dali: "Choose the strongest master to accompany you, and Zhao Shanhe, who also has six doors, will also go to protect her. Changfeng lost a hair, and I will chop them up! ”
Gao Dali bowed and said, "Abide by the order!"
After thinking for a while, Emperor Gan Wu added: "Transfer my will, wherever Changfeng goes, all officials will see me as if they are here!"
Gao Dali bowed again: "Abide by the order!"
After saying that, Emperor Gan Wu picked up the sword and handed it to Li Changfeng.
"This is my sword. I give you the privilege of killing first and then reporting. No matter when, your own safety is the first priority, do you know?" Emperor Gan Wu reminded with a serious expression.
He was really worried about Li Changfeng's safety.
The World Society and the Eight Aristocratic families all have the opportunity to take action.
Li Changfeng took the long sword and threw it at random, laughing and said, "Hey, this power is quite good. You can cut whoever you want!"
He even wondered whether he should find a reason to cut Li Ji down.
Emperor Gan Wu's face darkened: "If you dare to do something bad, I will break your leg!"
Li Changfeng smiled and changed the topic and talked about maritime trade with Emperor Gan Wu.
An hour later, in the reluctant eyes of Emperor Gan Wu, Li Changfeng left the palace with a sweet potato bag.
When he returned to the mansion, Li Changfeng immediately called Zhang Haihui over and ordered him to mobilize a large amount of salt, tea, beer and glass jewelry, and asked him to find many cargo ships.
Three days later, Li Changfeng summoned Benjamin at Diandude again.
After three days of cultivation, Benjamin and others were all energetic, put on clean and tidy clothes, and their beards were neatly repaired, looking radiant.
When I saw Li Changfeng again, Benjamin and others were very excited.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, your country's capital is so prosperous!"
“We have seen your shop selling fine salt, exactly the same as what we saw that day!”
"We have also visited your beer barbecue city. Oh my God, that beer is so delicious, it's so happy to be a big guy!"
"And your jewelry store business is so good, we have seen many beautiful noble ladies go there to buy jewelry!"
Li Changfeng gave them gold and allowed them to move freely for three days, with the purpose of letting them understand these things themselves.
After all, just by opening their mouths, they may not believe in their own strength.
Now it seems that the effect is good.
Li Changfeng didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
"The prince has already mobilized a large amount of spot stock. As for the craftsmen and materials for repairing the ship, you can rest assured that the prince will arrange it when he arrives in the South China Sea."
Benjamin gave Li Changfeng a thumbs up: "Dear Prince, your dear prince, your decisive behavior is admirable. I think we can set off!"
Li Changfeng was waiting for this sentence, nodding and said, "Okay, let's go tomorrow."
The second day.
Under the escort of many large inner guards and six gates, Li Changfeng left the city and headed to the Grand Canal thirty miles away from the capital.
There were dozens of thunder riders accompanying him, each carrying a rod of something wrapped in black cloth on his back. It was a newly made musket transferred by Li Changfeng from the Research Institute.
There were dozens of large wooden boxes accompanying them, filled with grenades and bullets, which were amazing in number, enough to fight a small war.
For his own safety, Li Changfeng spared no effort.
Soon, the group arrived at the Grand Canal Pier.
The largest passenger ship in Dakan was docked in the river, which was specially used by Li Changfeng, Benjamin and others. There were several cargo ships behind it, which were also the largest passenger ship.
Benjamin frowned slightly after seeing it, "Dear Prince, why are the ships you are working hard so small?"
Dagan followed the system of the previous dynasty to ban the sea, maritime trade almost did not exist, and the inland requirements for ship draft were low.
Therefore, the shipbuilding technology of big-working is relatively backward.
Benjamin and their country are different.
Obviously, they have entered the era of great navigation. They can sail across the ocean for more than half a year to work hard, which is enough to show their advanced shipbuilding technology.
However, how could Li Changfeng admit such a thing?
Li Changfeng felt aroused in his heart and said with a smile: "Some places in the inland rivers are very shallow. Boats are prone to danger when they are too deep. Safety is the first priority. You must know that there are valuable goods on them."
Benjamin did not doubt that he was, and nodded in deep thought: "Your Highness is right. The ship is full of valuable goods, but no accidents can happen!"
Li Changfeng thought in his heart that when he arrived at Nanhai Mansion, he must find some craftsmen with a good mind and intelligent mind to learn the structure of Benjamin's sea ship, and then study and transform it himself.
Strive to build a large ship with deeper draft and more stable structure, and build a powerful maritime power.
Maritime trade is a huge cake, and this kind of opportunity to make money cannot be missed.
Thinking that it might not be enough to have shipbuilders alone, Li Changfeng secretly ordered someone to go to the research institute to find Liang Dafu and arrange a group of scientific researchers to go to the on-site observation.
After arranging these, Li Changfeng led everyone onto the big ship.
