"The terrain of Dadongsha Island is gentle. Once a storm strikes, ordinary buildings may not be spared. Both dormitories and warehouses must be reinforced. Because they are in the sea, water vapor is seriously corroded, and the materials must be mainly bricks and stones."

"In the same way, the trestle must be firm, otherwise the storm will be destroyed by the waves when it passes."

"Drilling wells on the island can indeed produce fresh water, but in the future, the number of people stationed in the island will increase greatly, and the water output of the well may not be enough. Therefore, it is imperative to build rain-collecting facilities to store water. These facilities also need to be reinforced to prevent storms."

"To prevent pirates, soldiers must be stationed in Dadongsha to ensure the security of mining personnel, equipment, materials, and food. The force is at least 100, making it difficult for the thieves to think about it."

"Therefore, I believe that it is very necessary to build a fortress in Dadongsha, include dormitories, warehouses, and water storage facilities, and install several artillery pieces to ensure safety."

"In view of the fact that Dadongsha is located on the main route, it is recommended that the Yonggu trest, lighthouse and observatory be built in Dadongsha be used as a formal station on the route, not just to mine sea birds and stay in it."

In the conference room, Lin Chengyu, who was questioning, talked freely. He sat on a high-legged seat - a chair. Although he was holding the information in his hand, he didn't read it at all, because all the data and what he wanted to say were kept in mind.

In front of him were several middle-aged men sitting behind a high-footed desk with a stern face and serious smile, looking at the information in their hands and occasionally asking questions.

Lin Chengyu just returned to Fanyu from Dadongsha yesterday. Today he accepted inquiries from the directors, thinking that the mining of Dadongsha is really not simple.

Usually, such small things do not need to disturb the "top".

Now that the directors attach so much importance to it, Lin Chengyu thought that the cause of the whole incident was probably because the emperor was inquiring, so he didn't dare to slack off from the Nanyang Maritime Bureau to the company.

However, is this kind of seabird who has been in stool for a long time really fertility?

Lin Chengyu couldn't figure it out, but he wouldn't ask too much. He just needed to perform his duties and complete the tasks. The information he wrote after working overtime overnight was very detailed. Now, seeing that the directors didn't ask any strange questions, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the questioning ended, Lin Chengyu took his leave and returned to the office not long after, the time for the get off work was up.

Guangzhou Fanyu is the headquarters of Nanyang Trading Company. There are many employees working at the headquarters. Lin Chengyu packed the table and closed the door. He rushed out of the door in just a few seconds.

He told his accompanying servant to go home with some things, and walked forward along the street by himself, and agreed to the meeting.

The streets were full of traffic, and many four-wheeled carriages were loaded with goods or people, and pedestrians were scrambling to each other on both sides of the street, a bustling scene.

As a famous metropolis in the world, Fanyu has always been very lively. With the prosperity of maritime trade, the court vigorously developed Lingnan. Today, Fanyu, Guangzhou, has long been reborn and has looked like a new look in a few years.

Lin Chengyu has a deep understanding of this.

As an employee of Nanyang Trading Company, he settled in Fanyu for almost ten years and witnessed Fanyu's rapid development over the years.

In addition, the Target ship began to be put into shipping, which made Fanyu, a cargo distribution center, develop faster, and the outer city has been added. In order to distinguish between the new and old city walls, the two cities have been called "inner" and "outer".

Fanyu's development prospects were bright, attracting merchants from all over the world to settle down, so when walking on the street, he often heard the accents of Shu, Guanzhong, and Hebei, which was not worth making a fuss.

The company's related affairs are becoming more and more complicated, so Lin Chengyu just returned from Dadongsha for a few days and was about to go on a business trip elsewhere.

The court reformed the official selection system and implemented the "qualification system", which included the dispatch and entrusted the office system. Officials were sent out to work on business, which was a "business trip". Large trading companies such as Nanyang Trading Company, which were supervised and operated by officials, naturally had to keep up with the trend, so employees who went to other places to do business are called "business trips".

At the clock tower at the intersection, Lin Chengyu habitually took out his pocket watch and then accelerated his pace and walked forward.

Turning around a street intersection, Lin Chengyu came to a restaurant. The Hu waiter guarding both sides of the door saw him approaching, and enthusiastically pushed open the door and said in accented official language:

"Welcome!"

......

After drinking for several tours, Lin Chengyu and his friends were flushed with their faces. They were all outsiders living in Guangzhou, working, doing business, or traveling on boats here, so they knew half of the things from all over the world.

Half a bucket of water sways the loudest, so when talking about all kinds of strange stories, my voice is bigger than the other.

The "sea birds staying in the stool" that Lin Chengyu originally wanted to brag about was actually not a secret in Fanyu City, so everyone heard about it, so he couldn't blow it up. While flirting with Hu Ji who was accompanying him, he listened to his friends' stories about "Western".

The West, of course, is the ocean west of the South Ocean. This area includes the Piao Kingdom, the Lion Kingdom, the Indian Kingdom, and Persia and Rome (Fuqian).

Now, Nanyang Trading Company has made a good start with the trade between the countries of Tianzhu, with good prospects. It directly purchases a large number of incense medicines, gems, and cotton, and then sells the specialties and handicraft products from the Central Plains to each other, and each gets the needs.

No middlemen can make a difference.

In addition, the maritime trade with Persia was also very good. The only shortcoming was that Persia and Rome had already fought, and Persia asked the Nanyang Trading Company to interrupt its trade with Rome.

About seven years ago, the emperor of the Roman Kingdom was killed. It is said that only the prince fled to Persia and defected to his sister and brother-in-law. The regicide became the new emperor, the pseudo-emperor.

The murdered Roman emperor had his son-in-law, the king of Persia. He defeated the thief and returned to his country to restore the throne by relying on his father-in-law to send troops to help him. Now his son-in-law had to help his brother-in-law restore his brother-in-law, both in good faith and reason.

A few years after the Roman State Incident, the two countries fought.

Persia then cut off the maritime trade route between the Roman Kingdom and the Central Plains. After the fleet in the Central Plains arrived at the Persian harbor called "Gate of the East", it could not go west because further west was the sea area of ​​the Africa General Administration of Rome (the Central Plains for the name of the Roman political region).

Persian officials at the Oriental Gate Port will stare at every berthed Central Plains sea ship, and Persian warships will also patrol the sea surface to prevent sea ships from advancing westward.

This practice has been going on for several years, which has caused a trade route originally planned by Nanyang Trading Company to be broken as soon as it was established.

When a friend who mentioned this matter had just returned from the Eastern Gate, he talked about the war between Persia and Rome, he kept shaking his head: "We have fought for several years, and the two countries are not distinguished. The king of Persia is not sure when it will take until when to help my brother-in-law restore the throne."

"According to the fact that with the great righteousness is in hand, the exiled Roman prince always attracts old officials from home to join us. I don't know what happened, but the situation has never been opened..."

"I have been there for more than half a year. The local government is watching it tightly and cannot stay away easily. I can only do business with the local Saracens tribe. I can't even go west if I want to secretly sail."

After saying that, he drank a glass of wine and made a mysterious statement: "I heard that the chief general of the Roman Kingdom, Aphrodisiac, has never liked the fake emperor, did not obey the orders of the fake emperor, and refused to obey the other party's orders. He fought several battles with the army sent by the other party. It seems that sooner or later, he will raise an army to support the king!"

As soon as they heard the "King King", everyone was inspired: "Really? Then the Chief Afiliga really wants to assist the prince in returning to the capital to restore the throne?"

"Probably, I've heard this from people anyway." The man began to add fuel to his own imagination: "It was said that he had already planned to build a white helmet and white armor. After the uprising, all the soldiers of the army would wear white helmets and white armor to mourn the late emperor!"

When Lin Chengyu heard this, he laughed: "Isn't this a story like the story of Emperor Gaozu of Han who mourned Emperor Yi and raised an army to attack the King of Chu?"

"Odd!"

"Hey hey, after hearing what you said, is it that the general manager's intention of drinking?"

"It's hard to say... Come on, drink and drink! Our drunken man's intention is to drink!"

The situation in the extreme west has nothing to do with the Central Plains. In fact, everyone does not care whether the prince of Rome can be restored. What they care about is when the Nanyang Trading Company can trade with Rome.
