Chapter 448 We need to grind tofu(2/2)
"yes!"
The so-called "needle map" is an ancient navigation route. There is no map on it, but it says what time and tide level the ship will set sail, what is the ship's speed, which direction it will go, and what the reference objects are; and then where will it arrive at a certain time

Maritime trade activities reached the Qing Dynasty, and there were basically no problems with the inland shipping routes. However, the north and south routes were still managed separately so as not to offend each other.

However, according to chatting with these sea trade merchants today, they learned that there are currently a large amount of soybeans in Jinzhou and Fuzhou cities.
