"That's it?" Cheng Yiliang walked in the cabin with disdain on his face, "How dare you call it a pile of broken wooden boards?"
He was undoubtedly the most professional expert among them all. As soon as he stepped onto the battleship, he clucked his tongue and said: "What age are we in now? Are we still using human power to pedal water wheels to drive ships? It's so backward!"
Hearing Cheng Yiliang's chatter, Chen Tian smiled and suddenly discovered a very interesting phenomenon.
In the past, in the eyes of everyone in Yongtai City, the older an ancient relic was, the more powerful it was in combat, and it would definitely crush anyone of the same kind in today's world.
But now.
It just so happens that it's the other way around.
Not only does Qianji Pavilion admire new technologies, but Yongtaijun also particularly loves the latest batch of armors and swords, always believing that each generation is stronger than the last.
Of course, this change in concept is based on the official production of jade seeds by Zhangju.
Because low-cost spiritual stones have gradually spread to the grassroots, a series of related spiritual weapon technologies have also been widely developed and applied, and of course the latest results are the most powerful.
On the other hand, Liubo Navy had the technology to drive warships with spiritual power, but compared to the precious spiritual stones, Han Yuankai obviously believed that the cost of doing so was cheaper for poor people.
At the same time, even if there are sufficient spirit stones, he will not use them to reduce the labor burden of the lower-level sailors, but will instead use them to strengthen squeeze methods.
For example, if you use spiritual stones to create a magic circle, whoever dares to escape will immediately detonate their soul.
This is not because Chen Tian is sensationalizing and intends to slander his enemies, but because Han Yuankai comes from a wealthy family, and his class determines that he must do such ridiculous things.
For example, Zhao Pingshan, who was at the pinnacle of local warlords, was still not exempt from this. Even though he was determined to guard the four sides for the people, he was still based on protecting the interests of the Zhao family in Linjiang.
Therefore, it can be said that the aristocratic families are indeed visionary people, but as far as the entire class is concerned, they are still on the opposite side of the common people.
And Chen Tian's enlightenment is to lead the people of the world to overthrow the tyrannical family members and clarify the world.
His thoughts were wandering far away. Chen Tian gathered them, patted Cheng Yiliang on the shoulder and asked: "Then tell me, what role can this fleet play in your hands?"
"Merchant ship."
"Only this?"
"That's right." Cheng Yiliang nodded firmly, "Sir, please see, this ship has a lot of space, but it only has six or seven water compartments. It is obviously unreasonable. It is obviously because the Anjin Ferry levies merchants based on the number of water compartments.
Tax."
"If it weren't for the fact that it was easy to sink without a watertight tank, I can guarantee that this ship would not have had a watertight tank to pay less business tax."
"How can such a deformed thing be used to navigate the stormy waves? It can only transport goods and do business on inland waterways."
Chen Tian nodded.
I feel like what Cheng Yiliang said makes sense.
It seems that not only the crew of Liubo Navy cannot be reused, but also the battleships are mediocre. To build Yongtai Navy, you have to rely on yourself to plan it slowly, and there is no detour at all.
Chentian rubbed his temples with a headache: "Okay, this fleet will be transformed by Qianji Pavilion, and then handed over to Beicaoxi Caravan for use."
"Yes." Cheng Yiliang responded with his hands raised.
Fan Changxiang had already boarded the battleship early and was relatively familiar with the environment, so he led the two of them to continue their inspection.
As he walked, he introduced: "Han Yuankai's flagship was indeed blown up, but the auxiliary ship is still there. The shogunate sent people to count the belongings for a long time, but it was still just the tip of the iceberg."

Last time I heard that Cheng Yiliang needed one million gold to build a new army, Chen Tian changed his previous habit of treating money like dirt. Now when he heard Fan Changxiang's introduction, his eyes lit up.
But Cheng Yiliang was even more excited than him. He grabbed Fan Changxiang's shoulders and shook him: "Treasure? Treasure! How much is it?" "You..." Fan Changxiang pushed him away in disgust, and said to Chen Tian politely, "This ship
It was most likely a treasure ship used by Han Yuankai to pay tribute. Because Zhao Pingshan was fighting on the front line of Muye, his strength must have been greatly damaged, and he would no longer be able to guard Anjin Ferry.
mouth."
Chen Tian nodded and continued: "Then Han Yuankai intends to take the opportunity to bribe Yin Jianyuan and capture Anjin Ferry without using weapons?"
"That's probably true, but without the ghost lamp to verify the conjecture, the general would not dare to make a hasty decision." Fan Changxiang responded.
"No need to verify, anyway, this windfall has already been in our hands, and Han Yuankai is also dead." Chen Tian smiled, walked across the plank road and stepped onto the treasure ship.
It was said to be a treasure ship, but under the carved beams and painted buildings, Chen Tian felt like he was walking on a flower boat on Zhangtai Road in Gusu City. The red octagonal palace lanterns hung on the gate tower, like two teams of gentle maids lined up around him.
As you go deeper into it, you will see the towering peaks and pavilions covering each other, and the criss-crossing roads as dense as a spider web.
The river breeze blew by, and the vegetation on both sides made a rustling sound from time to time, turning like waves.
However, due to the limitation of the site, most of the plants and trees were potted plants, but even so, the osmanthus tree in front of the archway was still as big as a doorpost, and its lush branches and leaves filtered the setting sun all over the ground.
If Chen Tian hadn't known in advance that there was a treasure ship under his feet, he would have thought that he had mistakenly entered the back garden of a wealthy family. This was an eye-opener.
"There's no sail mast?" Chen Tian walked around for two or three times, deeply aware of the luxurious life of the aristocratic family, and asked curiously, "Then what does this treasure ship usually sail on?"
Fan Changxiang recalled carefully and explained: "It was the flagship being dragged in front so that Han Yuankai could come here for fun at any time."
Hearing this, Cheng Yiliang sighed deeply: "If Han Yuankai was willing to use these expenses for military expenditures, he would not end up with his head and body missing."
"Haha, would you believe it if Han Yuankai was given another chance?" Chen Tian walked towards the main hall and joked, "He would still choose a treasure ship instead of a battleship?"
"Ah? Why?" Not only was it difficult for Cheng Yiliang to understand, but Fan Changxiang was also full of doubts.
Chen Tian smiled: "Han Yuankai was born in the city lord's palace in Liubo City. He no longer has the ambition and ambition of his ancestors to make achievements, and he is even less capable, but he is very proficient in the ability to have fun."
"In short."
"The honor of a gentleman can only be killed in five generations, not to mention that Han Yuankai is just an ordinary family, and his wealth is only three generations."
Cheng Yiliang nodded slightly. Even though Gusu City has a population of over one million, and even with the support of the flower fairy Liu Yiyi, the descendants of the city owner Luo family are still ignored by Lin Ye and are like puppets.
If there is no good family tradition passed down.
No matter how strong the foundation is, it cannot withstand abuse.
As for Han Yuankai, just looking at the sallow and skinny crew members under his command, one can tell that he is not even the leader of the defense.
"Dare you ask the Lord to check it out." Fan Changxiang entered the main hall first and ordered people to open the piles of wooden boxes.
As soon as he finished speaking, waves of jewels and jewels came to his face, and the dazzling golden light instantly filled the entire hall, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
"The quality is not bad." Chen Tian kicked the barefoot gold ingot that fell by his feet, and he was in a good mood, "Han Yuankai has been swindling common people for most of his life, and in the end he took advantage of us."
Cheng Yiliang had never seen such a grand scene before. After being stunned for a long time, he picked up the barefoot gold ingot and blew it away in the palm of his hand, fearing that it would be damaged.
"This is nothing." Fan Changxiang was happy, and opened the curtain to reveal more than a dozen dendrobium trees, "This is a good thing!"
Glancing over, Cheng Yiliang's pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw a pile of white pearls like corn, with extremely plump particles. They were the highest quality pearls on the market.
"Sent!"
“Making a fortune!”
Cheng Yiliang gasped and roared, feeling that with only one treasure ship, he could build a fleet that was not inferior to Liubo Navy.
Let alone Changhe and Zishui, Yongtai City dared to venture into Anjin Ferry, which was lined with forts!
Chen Tian didn't have much reaction. He just felt that the military expenditure was temporarily relieved and he was a little relieved. But when he took the roster and glanced at it, his expression suddenly became very strange, and he found that one of the artifacts registered on it seemed to have been seen before.
