Looking at the angry Ying Zheng, Ying Yu spoke directly:

"Father, before this, Daqin was indeed not good at fighting."

"But this situation will soon be changed."

When all the officials heard this, they looked at Ying Yu in surprise.

Ying Zheng's eyes were also lit, and Ying Yu smiled at the expressions of everyone:

"Father, my son and I accidentally got a warship drawing called the Five-Tooth Warship a few days ago, as today the craftsmen in the machine building have mastered their skills."

"The first five-tooth warship will be launched soon. Within half a year, our Daqin will be able to form a powerful naval fleet."

The five-tooth warship drawings given by the system are enhanced versions, with a hull of up to 60 meters.

The waterline is 56 meters long, the boat is 15 meters wide, and the draft is 2.2 meters.

A five-tooth warship can accommodate up to a thousand soldiers.

The Five-Tooth Battleship has a total of five-story ship towers, and there is a loft on the top floor, which is used to detect enemy situations and command commands.

For today's era, the Five-Tooth Warship is a completely dimensional reduction attack.

With the Five-Tooth Battleship and the Fusang Island chart, it is easy to take down Fusang Island.

For Ying Yu, Fusang was just a place where the Daqin Navy trained troops.

Correspondingly, the cost required to build the Five-Tooth Battleship is also an astronomical figure.

However, as a time traveler, Ying Yu naturally knew that there was endless wealth in the sea.

Moreover, if the Qin Dynasty wants to conquer the world, it is naturally inseparable from naval warfare.

However, in the current Great Qin Dynasty, whether it is the First Emperor Ying Zheng, or the officials in the Qilin Hall.

They didn't value the ocean very much, so Ying Yu could only give Zheng a pretext to send troops to Fusang.

"It's so good, but will the cost of going out to sea be too high?"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and spoke.

You know, in the past, Xu Fu needed a lot of money every time he went to sea, and he could prepare for several years.

"Don't worry, Father, there are only a group of uncivilized natives on Fusang Island. As long as I am a Daqin Navy, it is no problem to take down Fusang Island."

"As for the expenses, we can completely capture the Fusang people as slaves, so that the expenses can be offset."

"And on this Fusang Island, there are very rich mineral resources, including gold, copper and iron ore.

Among them, the silver mineral output is so high that it can make me switch to silver as currency in Daqin."

Ying Yu gave everyone a smile to popularize science.

Although Fusang is not big, it still has some good things.

Silver mines alone account for one-third of the world's total silver.

Once these mineral resources are developed, they can be used as hard currency.

As for the dangers brought by mining, Ying Yu said that there are so many natives on Fusang Island, just let them work.

If there is not enough manpower, just let the Great Yuezhi go to the Mauryan Dynasty to capture it.

After all, the Mauryan Dynasty had a population of 30 million, so it would be fine to hollow out the entire Fusang Island.

"There are so many minerals on this Fusang Island?"

A look of surprise flashed across Ying Zheng's face.

There are two types of currency in Daqin today.

They are half a tael of coins cast in copper and gold.

However, gold is mainly used for large-scale transactions, and the usual main currency is still half a tael of money.

However, with the continuous development of business, the current half liang of money has become a trend of not enough.

Some time ago, Ying Zheng ordered a batch of eliminated bronze ware to be melted and made half a tael of money.

But this can only be alleviated temporarily and cannot solve the fundamental problem.

Because the copper mines known in the territory of Daqin have basically been trampled on.

Now that we know that this Fusang Island actually has such rich mineral resources, Ying Zheng was instantly moved.

Moreover, Ying Zheng also knew the value of silver.

As long as there are enough quantities, it is not difficult to set silver as a new currency with Ying Zheng's prestige in the Qin Dynasty.

"You can go to Fusang Island to fight. Yu'er is fully responsible for this matter. You can allocate any resources in the territory of Daqin."

After making up his mind, Ying Zheng directly ordered.

"promise!"

Ying Yu bowed respectfully. With Brother Zheng’s strong support, he could do his best to develop the navy.

At the same time, it can also develop maritime resources.

Then Ying Yu gave the people in the Qilin Palace a popular science, the endless wealth in the sea.

The sea of ​​this era has not been overfished and is completely untapped.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no need for fishing nets. Just place a few fish baskets by the beach at high tide and you can harvest a bunch of lively seafood.

With such rich sea resources, why don’t the people catch fish?

The reason is actually very simple.

Because people these days don’t know that they can make a living by fishing.

In their perception, there is only saline-alkali land by the sea and cannot grow crops, so they are all far away from the sea.

There is no concept of relying on the sea to eat.

Even on the rivers and lakes in the territory of Daqin, there are very few people fishing.

Because this will be regarded as incompetent.

Without anyone fishing, the price of fish will naturally be higher.

Even Mencius compared fish and bear's paw, which shows the preciousness of fresh fish in this era.

As for the Daqin Navy, it is hard to describe.

Although the Qin Dynasty today has a navy, it is more of a logistics transport team than a navy.

Because the so-called navy is only responsible for transporting grain and will not participate in the battle at all.

Moreover, the ships used were all temporarily built, and crew members were also collected from the public.

After the war, the recruited crew returned to their hometown, and the ship fell into an unmaintained state and would soon be damaged and could no longer be used.

However, with Ying Yu here, this situation will be changed soon.

It is very simple to develop a marine industry. Just let the people understand the benefits of developing the ocean.

Not to mention anything else, just when the navy goes out to sea to train, he will fish and bring back a large number of sea fish. If he promotes it vigorously, it will be enough to shock the entire Qin Dynasty.

Business people who see business opportunities will naturally flock to you.

At that time, all kinds of shipyards and fishing teams will surely gather.

As more and more fishing people become fishing, the price of fish will certainly drop.

In this way, ordinary people can also eat fish.

If the people can eat fish, the consumption of fish and shrimp will inevitably increase.

With the increase in demand, more people will fish, which will form a virtuous cycle.

In the end, the merchants made money, and the people could eat the fish and shrimp that they had never dared to hope for before, and their lives improved.

The tax revenue of Daqin will also increase.

With these as the foundation, Ying Yu could guide the Qin people out of the near sea and explore the deep sea.

Finally, the era of sailing that belongs to the Qin Dynasty alone was opened.

"I didn't expect that there were so many benefits in this vast ocean."

Listening to Ying Yu's constant explanation, everyone sighed.
