Because the Zhoushan Islands are extremely close to the mainland and are only ten miles away from each other, coastal people can see the situation on the island clearly with their naked eyes, so people have lived there since ancient times. The original Yi people and later Yue people rode out to the sea to climb the Zhoushan islands, and then fished for a living on it. It gradually grew into tens of thousands of people. In addition, some ancient books record the legend of the sacred mountain fairy island overseas. Zhoushan was once speculated by countless Fang family sorcerers as Penglai fairy island. As a result, a large number of Fang family sorcerers took fishing boats to find immortality in Zhoushan, and even built Taoist temples on it. Daishan and Baihua Mountain are the two most famous places.

In ancient times, it was rumored that there were three fairy islands and five sacred mountains overseas, and Daishan was one of them.

The Zhoushan Islands, like Langya in the north, formed the most famous gathering place for the gods and alchemists in the south, and a large number of Taoist disciples gathered here.

He heard that Chen Xu, a disciple of the immortal family, arrived in Juzhang, and gathered around the hundreds of disciples and Fang family sorcerers gathered, and hundreds of people came to pay their respects. In a few days, Taoist disciples wearing Taoist robes and alchemists wearing hemp clothes and hemp shoes could be seen everywhere in Juzhang County.

And when he arrived at Ju Zhang, Chen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

First, I went to the beach to inspect the Juzhang Harbour Pier under construction.

Although the project was planned in April and it was already early June when the news came to Juzhang. It has only been two months since then, but the lively scene still made Chen Xu, Yu Wuya and others amazed.

The long-term plan of this harbor is ten miles long. The length of the first phase of the project is two miles. There are twenty docks that can dock large sea boats. The port is planned to include logistics warehouses, joint office areas, ship repair factories, supply living areas, health centers, money shops, inns, restaurants and other ancillary facilities. These are planned and built together with the port terminal, and subcontracted investment is carried out according to the project volume. The total investment is more than 60 million yuan. Because of this unprecedented huge investment, dozens of engineering contractors from all over the country have been attracted to undertake projects here, which has brought about a large population agglomeration effect. The prisoners and servants assigned by the court alone reached more than 30,000, as well as the labor slaves purchased by the contractors and migrant workers recruited. The number of people involved in the construction of the entire project reached more than 50,000. In addition, merchants and craftsmen who provide living supplies to these 50,000 people and build tools, boats, boats, cars and horses. The entire construction site is simply bustling and jubilant.

Groups of carriages were squeaking and carrying cargo back and forth.

Cement, stone, steel bars, sand, gravel, bamboo and other building materials piled up like mountains on the coast. Countless police officers who maintained public order were patrolling back and forth, as well as countless contractor supervisors and project commanders who inspected the project. The imperial officials also traveled back and forth on the beach that was several miles long.

"Hey hey ~~"

Countless ragged prisoners and work slaves carried steel bars and giant trees back and forth, and used crowbars to pry the huge stones to place them in a fixed position. The sound of huge rocks falling into the water came one after another. In just two months, this two-mile harbor had already shown some prototype, but it would take at least two years to completely repair them.

However, according to the engineering design and progress, it is enough to only repair three or five docks in advance to provide temporary docking and unloading supplies.

Ten miles northwest of the hot harbor, a huge fleet of sea ships docked in a natural peninsula harbor.

There are ten large ships in this fleet, the smallest of which is twenty feet long and five feet high. The largest one has five huge masts, the hull is thirty feet long and eight feet high, and the draft is nearly two feet long. The bow rudder rod is three feet long and ten feet long. It is like a huge gun barrel in front of it. It is full of horror momentum. The cables as thick as a calf on it are connected to several huge winches.

All of these ships lowered their sails at this time.

As the waves slightly bumped, even if they were more than 200 feet across the coast, they could still clearly see the hull numbers and big characters painted on the side of these sea boats.

001 Liaoning, 007 Taishan, 021 Izuiyun, 022 Xiangyun, 23 Wuyun, 027 Storm…

Without exception, these large ships were hung with black Daqin dragon flags and blue Qinghe Hou Mansion flags. In order to distinguish different identities, ten team flags and command flags of various colors were hung on the main mast of the largest five-masted sailboat, which were obviously the command ships of this fleet.

These ten large ships came from the northwest five days ago, passing through the southeastern counties, which aroused the warm cheers of the people and fishermen along the coast. Many fishermen recognized that this was the fleet of Qinghehou, so countless coastal fishermen drove their boats to sea to chase after them. However, small fishing boats without sails could not compare with large sea boats. Under the gentle autumn wind in the northwest, ten large sea boats with huge sails formed a huge fleet. The strong heads plowed the rolling sea water, and they had already gone far in an instant. Therefore, the fishermen following could only sigh, and many young fishermen felt envious and uncontrollable impulse.

If you can join Qinghehou's seaship fleet in this life, just like those seamen who waved and cheered loudly at them on the seaship, it would definitely be the most flaunting life experience in your life.

I heard that these sea ships will continue to sail towards the South China Sea through the waves, and one day they will reach the extreme western country tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles away.

"Erlang, according to the time, we calculate that the Marquis and the Marquis and the Marquis should arrive?"

On the tallest observation deck of the largest flagship deck cabin, Han Xin and Cao Shen were holding up their telescopes to observe the harbor project that was busy several miles away, and two observation hands were swinging back and forth through the huge observation glass to observe the entire beach.

"Well, according to my brother's arrangement, it should have arrived at least three days ago. We were five days in advance. I wonder if something went wrong on the road?" Han Xin nodded while observing.

"The Marquis has always made perfect plans for doing things, so how could it go wrong? Maybe it was because there were too many places on the road that were delayed. According to the speculation of the Sentian, the Marquis must have arrived in Hangzhou..."

"Squeak~~" Just as Cao Shen was talking, a brown monkey suddenly climbed down from the high mast, jumped onto Han Xin's shoulder, grabbed his hair and pointed to the southeast direction.

Han Xin turned his telescope and saw a long team of carriages coming from the construction site of the pier. The luxurious carriages were clearly visible, which was the convoy of Qinghe Hou Mansion.

"Haha, brother is here!" Han Xin smiled and put down the telescope.

"The Marquis is here, raise the anchor, raise the flag, raise the flagship half sail to the dock, and other ships line up to welcome him..." Cao Shen jumped up excitedly and shouted.

"Woooo~~" Accompanied by the sound of a few horns, a red golden flag rose from the flagship, and at the same time, the captain's roar came: "Rise the anchor, lift the main sail, turn right and rudder to the dock 30 degrees, be careful to hit the dock!"

"Anchor~"

"The main sail rises half a sail~"

"Turn right rudder 30 degrees to dock~"

In an instant, the fleet, which had been docking in the harbor for five days, had almost no movement, and with the sound of orders, the huge sails slowly rose and began to slowly turn the bow. After drawing a huge arc of more than a hundred feet long in the calm blue bay, slowly approaching a simple dock on the shore.

This pier is where local fishermen dock on weekdays, but after some renovations, there are still many fishing boats docked near the pier. Local fishermen gather here every day to curiously observe these ten huge sea boats that they have never seen before.

Large sea boats are very common in Langya, but they have basically never seen them in the southeastern counties. The ten large sea boats that came this time also opened the eyes of local fishermen and people.

These sea boats were much larger than the sea boats that the first emperor took when he was traveling to Zhejiang to sea, and there was basically no feeling of bumpyness and shaking when parked on the sea.

I heard that this new large sailboat was invented by Qinghehou. It can sail hundreds of thousands of miles from the ocean. The largest seaboat can ride more than 500 people at a time, but the cost can scare a lot of miserable fishermen. Each one costs more than 1.3 million yuan. Now, hundreds of fishing boats in the harbor that can watch the fun together cannot catch up with this big ship.

In addition to this giant ship, the remaining nine smaller sea ships were heard that each cost more than 700,000 yuan, and could ride more than 300 people. This fleet alone could transport more than 3,000 people at a time, and the overall cost was close to tens of millions.

But the most surprising thing is not this fleet. Many fishermen have to send the fish they catch to the harbor docks under construction every day to sell them to the engineering team cafeterias. After a while, I heard that some people from the engineering command center said that the Langya Shipyard had received an order of more than 70 million yuan from Qinghehou, and wanted to build a total of more than 100 large sea boats, and then rent these sea boats to caravans who wanted to go out to sea to explore and make a fortune.

After this news came out, the entire southeast was now restless. Several large merchants and gentry in Kuaiji County had already gone to Langya, and hundreds of young and strong fishermen were recruited from nearby several times. Therefore, most of the fishermen gathered in the harbor were either old and weak, or some thirteen or fourteen years old, and most of the strong fishermen had gone out to make a fortune.

The Qin Dynasty mainly relies on the mountains and rivers to eat the sea. However, agriculture in the southeast coast is underdeveloped, and the fishery and salt industry is the main business. For these fishermen who rely on the weather, local county officials are not strict in their management. Now, with the launch of various projects, many fishermen even go to the harbor to work.

"Woooo~~"

With the sound of horns after horns, hundreds of fishing boats scattered and left the flagships ready to dock. At the same time, enthusiastic fishermen were driving the boats to guide them. In less than two minutes, the huge flagship was docked steadily on the simple dock, broke down the cables, and fixed the ship with the enthusiastic help of countless fishermen.

With the movement of the flagship, the nine ships behind slowly raised their side sails and began to steer and line up. Soon they were arranged in two rows on the sea surface, and a red golden flag was raised from their main masts to welcome the arrival of Qinghehou.

"Not bad~" A few miles away, Chen Xu rode on his horse and held a telescope in his hand and praised the movements of ten sea boats.

"It's still pretty. Cao Shen has been practicing these boatmen and sailors in Langya Bay. All kinds of flags and orders have unified rules, which is much better than at the beginning. My husband has not gone to Langya for several years. This time he will definitely be shocked. The entire shipyard stretches for more than ten miles, with more than forty docks, and there are more than twenty sea boats used for training. After all the sea boats invested by my husband next year are completed, hundreds of sea boats will go out to sea together and look even more spectacular..." Yu Wuya rode a horse next to Chen Xu, saying something lightly.

In recent years, Yu Wuya has been coming and going on the sea, and the sea ships are almost tired of seeing them, but for Chen Xu, these sea ships are the vanguards of the future overseas colonization and expansion of the Qin Dynasty.

Chen Xu has also seen the scene of more than ten large ships acting together. He had personally experienced the pursuit of Huang Shigong, but the sea ships at that time were very different from the sea ships seen in front of him, both in appearance and in size and structure.
