I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 118 Overseas Trade
The question is, this thing is for tanks, how can it be used for ships?

Zhang qingyang's explanation and guess were correct, it was to improve the ship's protection.

"Cancel it, this thing is useless at sea and will increase the weight of the ship and reduce the carrying capacity."

"Yes, King Xian."

Zhang qingyang waved his hand and asked his subordinates to follow the instructions. Anyway, this thing was just a temporary idea.

Back to the working area inside the shipyard, this is a room.

The inside is full of maps, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a sea chart, and it includes more than a dozen surrounding overseas island countries.

The most detailed and largest map made Qin Mu very focused.

This picture is a chart of the borders around the Tang Kingdom.

"King Xian, I have arranged a large number of people to go overseas to buy maps from the beginning. Whether it is business routes or naval battle maps, I have basically found them through various means."

"Very well, speed up the final inspection of the ship, hold a sea trial in half a month, let the world know that our twenty states have the power to dominate the sea!"

"Yes!"

Half a month passed quickly, and busy people didn't even have time to pay attention to the news from all over the world.

Newspapers, the latest issue was released, and almost all merchants, companies, etc. were snapped up.

What they want is to know the situation in various places and seize business opportunities.

However.
The headline in today's newspaper is actually "Pingzhou Coastal Defense"!
A pair of warships drawn with sketches, ten cannons, and a huge figure braved the waves on the sea.

Just looking at the picture makes my blood boil!

"This"

As the largest conglomerate in the twenty states, its subsidiaries in cloth manufacturing, raw material trade, steam engine assembly and manufacturing, and transnational trade account for almost 60.00% of the market, and it is a well-deserved overlord.

Colorful cloth line!

This company originally sold cloth, but later, because of Qin Mu's arrangement, it started to get in touch with the machinery industry, and at the same time established a group called "Lingzhou No. [-] Trading Group Company".

It is also the first group born, and the total asset quota is so large that all companies feel oppressed.

Three hundred million silver!

This is the estimate given by the Lingzhou head office, and the specifics are unknown.

The trade volume on the bright side alone can earn more than 150 million silver every day.

Seeing today's newspaper, Ke Yi was very excited and shocked, and at the same time filled with infinite desire.

"Brother, if we build one for us, those overseas garbage countries will not be blown up directly?"

puff!
Ke Bin was drinking tea, and he spit out when he heard this.

"Can you pay more attention to the following logistics situation every day, thinking about the war all day long, and return you a ship, why don't you replace General Zhang as the admiral of the navy?"

"I can't even pass the political review."

"Tao, you really have such an idea!"

Ke Bin was speechless. His younger brother, he was brought from an ordinary person to the leading person in charge of the logistics industry with his own hands. He didn't expect that in private, it was like water in his head.

"Looking at the meaning of the newspaper, this ship is indeed for military use, and it is the first experimental ship. It will be launched in two days?"

"How about it, do you want to go and have a look? I heard that King Xian will appear on the scene."

"You are not talking nonsense, you must go."

"Hey, brother, we are a state-owned enterprise, and when King Xian controls the entire Tang Dynasty, it will be a royal enterprise."

"You kid is naive every day"

Ke Bin looked out the window, and had to think again in his mind, what would it look like if he really became a royal enterprise in the future?
After such a long time, he also understood clearly.

Business and politics are separate but help each other.

As a state-owned enterprise, it does not have any right to participate in politics, but it can participate in the war encirclement and suppression plan issued by its superiors.

It's complicated, but it's also very simple.

In a word, follow this order, or leave or lose your head.

Thinking of this, he looked serious and turned to look at his younger brother.

"Ke Yi, let me remind you that it is very dangerous for you to send a large amount of cloth to Tubo through Jiannan Road. What is your purpose?"

"Hey, big brother, I can't tell you this. This is an order personally issued by Mr. Lin."

"Master Lin?"

Ke Yi was taken aback for a moment, thinking that it was his younger brother who did the petty theft. There are many such practices, and it won't cause any problems.

However, it is different when the amount is large!
In just half a month, the delivery of cloth exceeded ten tons. It is unimaginable what kind of results will happen with such a quantity.

If it is a small country with a population of less than one million, the entire cloth industry chain will collapse!
"Are you planning to attack Dhaka?"

Just think about it, from Lishui into the four tribes, after transshipment through the Putra River, it directly entered Bangladesh, which is also an overseas country.

Ke Bin shook his head, "Brother, don't make wild guesses. Master Lin's will must have been approved, and I can't say anything here."

"Ma De, you are my own younger brother, and you are still playing tricks on me here, and you are doing things for the virtuous king, so you treat me like this?"

"Brother, don't embarrass me."

There is no way to ask, and Ke Bin doesn't bother to think about it anymore.

However, since there is such a plan, it's time to make a wave of money yourself.

Finances are tight!

"Little brother, do me a favor and transport a batch of sugar products into Bangladesh, how about it? At the same time, I will send a group of people to follow your merchant ship to purchase a large number of sugarcane plantations there."

"Are you going to enter the sugar industry?"

"That's right, the price of sugar products is getting higher and higher now, and the output can't keep up at all, so we must speed up. Other commercial firms will not wait for us to do it first. We are a subsidiary company of the Wangfu. If we can't do it well, we will have to Bad luck!"

Ke Yi frowned and nodded.

"It's possible, but you have to report it in advance. Don't think it's a private act when something happens. It's troublesome. Master Lin doesn't show any mercy!"

"It's easy, I'll go find him tonight."

"Before that, let's go to Pingzhou as soon as possible. We can't miss such a grand event!"

Two days later, Pingzhou.

In a place with a population of one million, more and more outsiders are mixed together.

But the things they discussed were all "naval ships" without exception!
"Hey, this shipyard is very mysterious, is it still closed now?"

"Why don't we climb the wall to see?"

"You really don't want your life. Did you see that the team changes every hour. More than 30 soldiers are patrolling. Can you get in?"

"This kid is really funny. I think he wants to go to prison."

The periphery of the shipyard was blocked by a two-meter-high concrete wall, and there were a large number of primitive warships patrolling the outer waters.

All manufacturing secrets and circumstances cannot be passed on at all.

It also blocked countless enemy spies.

"Girl, can I ask you something?"
