Chapter 176 Cooperation and Nautical Charts

"What else? Merchants in Bingzhou are garrisoning land, and the price has increased tenfold. It's okay to say that the most troublesome thing is the boat. At present, the top ten shipping companies in Bingzhou are all controlled by the Daishui Empire. The whereabouts of each ship , are all under the supervision of the empire, and it is almost impossible to buy a new ship. My Jun family spent a lot of money to buy three old ships, and the largest one only has two thousand materials."

Ren Daoyuan is trying to improve his navigation knowledge recently, but it is a pity that Qingzhou is far away from the coast, not to mention people who know how to sail, even people who understand sea ships are extremely rare.

I just learned some superficial facts. For example, sea boats are different from river boats in that they have pointed bottoms.The size of a sea-going ship is calculated according to the "material". A thousand-material is considered the smallest sea-going ship, and it cannot go far. A sea-going ship with less than a thousand materials can still fish in the coastal waters. If the wind and waves are too strong, the ship will capsize.

If you want to sail long distances, it is best to use a large ship with more than [-] materials.It is also unknown whether the [-] material sea-going ships mentioned by Jun Taiyan can sail for two months.And the distance between South China Sea islands is not very close.

The so-called "material" is a loading unit of a sea-going ship. One thousand materials can hold about 40 catties of things. Of course, this depends on the volume of the things.

It sounds like a thousand materials is really not small, but if it is pretending to be a person, it is not calculated like this.You know, people need room for movement, food and water.These needs will bring some other needs. If you want to eat, you have to have burning things and so on.

After miscellaneous calculations, a ship with a thousand materials can only accommodate 100 people and sail for about two months, and this is still without cargo.

You know, it is very common to travel to the South China Sea for several months.A sea-going ship requires more than 50 sailors alone, accounting for half of the ship's share.

Therefore, the bigger the sea-going ship, the better. Basically, those below three thousand can only be regarded as offshore boats.With the ability of the Jun family, they only got three ships, and the largest one was only two thousand, which made Ren Daoyuan feel cold.

Compared with the Jun family, the difference between the Ren family and the Jun family is too great. They can get three boats, but they can buy one for themselves, thank God.Ren Daoyuan is content with two thousand materials, so don't make a boat with hundreds of materials.

"Jun's family is so sad, I'm afraid my Ren's family is even more miserable." Ren Daoyuan found that the trip to Bingzhou was much more difficult than imagined.

"Let's cooperate." Jun Moyan said softly.

"how to cooperate?"

Jun Moyan took out a map from his pocket and spread it on the table in front of the two of them. The map was very large. Unlike ordinary maps, there were no mountains and rivers on it, but irregular squares.

After looking carefully for a while, Ren Daoyuan realized that this is not a map, but a chart.The uppermost point, which is a curved line in the north, should be the coastline of Bingzhou. From north to south, it is dotted with hundreds of islands of different sizes.

One of the largest islands is only a finger away from Bingzhou. It seems to be quite large in size. There are two ancient characters "Autumn Water" written on it.

After Ren Daoyuan roughly understood the chart, Jun Moyan said, "This chart was obtained by the Jun family at a huge expense. It is the most accurate chart that can be found so far."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the word Qiushui and said: "This is the nearest large island to Kyushu, named Qiushui Island. It takes about one and a half months' flight from Bingzhou. To the south of Qiushui are Eyu Island, Pegasus Island, Giant Whale Island, Pingshan Island, the farthest is Moli Island. From Moli Island to the south, there are no big islands.”

The people of Kyushu don't know much about the endless sea. The Jun family really didn't know how much thought it took to get this chart.

From the chart alone, the distance between the islands is extremely close, but in fact, the area of ​​this chart is probably not much smaller than the entire Kyushu.The closest Qiushui Island will take a month and a half to sail.

You must know that sailing is completely different from walking on land. Although the speed of sea ships is not as fast as that of horses, they can continue day and night. On average, they are not much slower than riding horses.

A one and a half month's journey is almost comparable to half of Qingzhou.On the chart, Qiushui Island is too close to Bingzhou.

"Xiao Ren, you may not know much about the South China Sea Islands. There are six islands in the South China Sea Islands. These are the six islands. Each island should not be underestimated. It is extremely powerful." Jun Mo said earnestly.

Of course, Ren Daoyuan would not know about these things. The Jun family has not known these things for a long time, and they only got the news in the last year. After all, the South China Sea Islands are too far away from Kyushu, and the people of Kyushu don't care about many things.When I really got to know it, I suddenly discovered that the South China Sea Islands are far more powerful than people imagined.

"Oh! How to strengthen the law?" The Ren family did not have such a source of information, so naturally they did not know the allusions of the South China Sea Islands.

"Six big islands, six sun gods." Jun Moyan said in a deep voice.

"One island, one sun god..." Ren Daoyuan was really shocked.That is the Yang God. In the entire Qingzhou, there is only one Yang God in the Secret Sword Dao Sect.

As the mainland of Kyushu, Qianzhou, the largest state, and the forces from all directions, together, there are only eight Yang gods.It is really unacceptable that there are six sun gods in this land of alienation in people's minds, how is it possible?

Jun Moyan nodded with a sullen face. Thinking about how confident he was when he heard that his family was planning to attack the South China Sea, he was ready to bring a team of troops to flatten several large islands so that the Jun family could develop a group overseas.

Now that I think about it, it's too ridiculous, Qiushui Island alone has a population of more than [-], and it has a Yang God.With the strength of the Jun family, they still dream of owning a big island?
Not to mention the Jun family, even the entire Qingzhou, if all members of the Secret Sword Dao Sect go out, they may not be able to win a big island.

You must know that the strength of Qiushui Island is not ranked high among the islands in the South China Sea, and it can be regarded as a relatively weak island.

"What are the plans of the Jun family?" Ren Daoyuan calmed down and asked, the news brought by Jun Moyan was a bit shocking.

Jun Moyan smiled wryly and said, "What else can I plan? Naturally, I will go to sea to find an island that is not too big, but enough for temporary development, and start preparing. After all, how the battle in Qingzhou will be is yet to be determined. A small number of people will be relocated to the South China Sea.”

"If that's the case, why does the Jun family want to cooperate?" Ren Daoyuan asked in confusion. The Jun family is not worth mentioning in the South China Sea. With the strength of the Ren family, how can they help?The trip to the South China Sea may be extremely difficult.

"Of course we need to cooperate. The most troublesome thing now is the lack of ships. In the middle of the sea, there are no ships, and everything is empty talk. I believe everyone wants to find a place to stay. Except a few big islands, see if you can buy them with money. In addition, a large number of ships are needed, so find them yourself.”

Ren Daoyuan understood a bit: "But look for it in pieces?" The Jun family doesn't have enough ships, so why not the Ren family.

"That's right, that's right. If you find a suitable island that you can't swallow by yourself, you can unite and share benefits." Jun Moyan said.

"Alright." Ren Daoyuan thought for a while, and immediately agreed. This is something that is beneficial to everyone.No matter how dirty they were with each other when they were in Yanqing Mansion, when they arrived in Nanhai, they were real fellow villagers.

"Since Xiao Ren agrees, let's see which direction you like to go and which area you are in charge of. Although this chart is the most detailed one that can be found so far, the actual situation will vary a lot after all." Jun Moyan acted like a magician, and Get out a chart.

This sea chart is the same as the previous one, and it has been rubbed by masters, and there is no difference.It's just that there are a lot of things on this chart. Pens of different colors are used to divide many areas on the chart.

Although the map is divided, there is no annotation. Ren Daoyuan took a few glances, raised his head, and looked at Jun Moyan suspiciously.

Jun Moyan chuckled: "Xiao Ren, my brother is the closest to you. This picture is still new. I originally planned to talk with each other after leaving Qingzhou. No, my brother came to you before leaving Qingzhou. Alright, let’s choose an area by ourselves.”

"Thank you very much." Ren Daoyuan did not expect that Jun Moyan would think highly of him so much. Although the Ren family can barely squeeze into the first-class family in Yanqing Mansion, there are indeed many people who are better than the Ren family.

"Alright, I'll just choose this one." Ren Daoyuan said casually, pointing to a piece of sea area, which is the piece of sea area closest to Bingzhou and not to Qiushui Island. The area is not small, and there are many islands.

There is also a certain degree of particularity in choosing the sea area. Looking at the size of Jun Moyan's division of the sea chart, it can be seen that he has put his heart into it.The closer the sea area, the larger the distance, the smaller the division.

Ren Daoyuan chooses first, so he can naturally take advantage of it. You must know that it is not easy to find a boat in Bingzhou now, and it is not known if there is a boat in a place farther away, and whether it can be reached.

"Okay, just this one." Jun Moyan replied with a smile, took out a vermilion pen, and marked the word Ren on the sea area Ren Daoyuan pointed at.

From Qingzhou to the east, only more than 1000 kilometers away from Qianzhou, it took nearly two months for the mission to stop and go.

In the first few state capitals, Ren Daoyuan personally interviewed the clans. Later, he simply left the matter to Ren Feng and Gong Zifeng to deal with, and concentrated on his own practice.Recently, Ren Daoyuan has clearly felt that he has reached a bottleneck, as long as he breaks through, he can go further.It is not far from the top grade of the ground level.

In addition to practicing, Ren Daoyuan would take out the Yuhua parasol from time to time to study this sixth-grade Taoist tire.The Dao embryo in his hand is now only this one. With his ability, he can't make a weapon yet, so he can only look at it.

Although it can't be used to make weapons, every time you look at it, you will always gain something, which is still good for improving Taoism.

After two months, the mission finally entered the territory of Qianzhou. Before entering Qianzhou, a caravan composed of more than 100 trucks joined the mission.In a blink of an eye, the mission changed its appearance and became a traveling caravan, but the caravan's guards seemed a little too much.
