Like the blood setting sun dyed Dengzhou City red, a faint twilight began to fall at this time.

After Yang Chengye thanked him, he excitedly led everyone to the government office, where a banquet had already been set up and was waiting for everyone.

I took the train for six hours and wandered around the city for a lot of time. At this time, both the ministers and the concubines were hungry.

Everyone could not help but faced the fragrant seafood when they sat down. After Xiao Ming started the meal, the atmosphere suddenly became strong.

Xiao Yi, the little guy, immediately picked up the king crab on the table and shouted: "Father, look, this crab is so big. I have never seen such a big crab before."

Fei Yue'er was also surprised to look at the king crab on her table. He said, "Your Majesty, we have eaten a lot of Dengzhou seafood, but this is the first time we have seen such a big king crab."

Yang Chengye smiled and said, "Empress, there is no such crab in the waters of Dengzhou. This time the crabs on the table were caught by fishermen in the waters north of Japan. If the emperor had not taught the edible seafood in the sea to the local officials, they would have really dared not bring them back at that time."

"North of Japan?" Xiao Ming showed a dark color with interest. This king crab is red all over, and is a typical Hokkaido king crab in contemporary times.

"Yes, the emperor, in the past, fishermen did not dare to leave Dengzhou and go to the waters of Japan to fish, but since the royal family ordered the war with Japan, General Yue surrounded and suppressed Japanese warships on the sea. Now the waters between Japan and Goryeo are already very safe. Some bold fishermen went out to the waters of Japan to fish at this time. After all, the drag fishing technology now allows fishermen to fish from the sea, so that they can get more."

Xiao Ming has always supported marine fishing. In this era, he rarely realizes the importance of marine resources, but he knows.

Compared with the depletion of marine fishery resources in the 21st century, the fishery resources in this era are amazingly rich. A few years ago, when Xiao Ming went from Jinling to the Sanshan Kingdom, he often saw large fish schools along the way.

In addition, the navy of Dayu Kingdom is now in its early stages, so it can completely squeeze the fishing resources of Goryeo and Japan and give this benefit to the people of Dayu Kingdom.

"Well, yes, fishery is an important industry for Dengzhou. You not only need to develop large fishing boats, but also encourage fishermen to fish from afar. Wherever the Navy of Dayu Kingdom goes, the fishing grounds of Dayu Kingdom. If they can't do it, you won't give them canned fish." Xiao Ming smiled. He didn't care about more fishing boats, because the fishing power of this era is very far from that of modern times, and the entire Dengzhou is probably not as good as a modern fishing village.

"Hahaha..." The officials laughed because of Xiao Ming's joke.

After skipping this topic, everyone had a formal meal.

While eating seafood, we talked about the development details of Dengzhou. It was not until after 7 o'clock in the evening that everyone dispersed.

The next day, Xiao Ming left Xiao Yi, Fei Yueer and others in Dengzhou City, while he and Yang Chengye went to the shipyard in Dengzhou.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest warship."

Zhang Liang pointed to the twenty new warships in the military port. These warships were about the same size as third-class warships, except that three chimneys were erected in the middle of the mast.

"Does these warships use the latest three-inflated steam engines?"

"Yes, my elders, so these warships only need three chimneys, because warships need more boilers to burn coal. Relatively speaking, the power of these warships is much higher than that of a chimney warship." Zhang Liang explained.

Xiao Ming nodded, and he naturally understood this truth. This time he reached a deal with the Netherlands and he would provide escort on Brandon's way back to the Netherlands.

So he had to draw ten warships to the Netherlands.

As for these ten warships, he is not going to use steam warships, but still uses sail warships. These more than twenty steam warships will make up for the vacancies of these ten warships and are responsible for encircling Japan.

Xiao Ming had some considerations about the reason for surrounding Japan rather than choosing to go to war with Japan. Now that the ocean is under his control, Japan is unable to invade the Great Yu Kingdom at all.

In this way, he can concentrate on realizing domestic unification in the country of Great Chongqing.

After observing the new type of warship, Xiao Ming had a conspiracy in his mind, and then he and Zhang Liang went to the First Shipyard and the Second Shipyard.

Compared with the pure handicrafts in the past, the current shipyards are roaring with machines everywhere, and the existence of these machinery has greatly accelerated the speed of shipbuilding.

"Zhang Liang, I have told you about the iron armored warship. Do you think with the current shipyard's ability, can you add a layer of iron armor to the outer layer of the warship?" Xiao Ming asked.

Zhang Liang said: "This is OK, because the steam engine power gives the shipyard a lifting ability, but the production of iron armor still needs to be done by the steel factory."

Xiao Ming nodded. The shells may be lost in the Battle of Busan City, so we must do a good job in naval battles and enter the era of flowering bombs. After all, European technology has been developing forward, and industrial capabilities are also improved because of the steam engine. This relatively primitive fuse can still be imitated after one or two years of research.

So he now needs to build a flowering bullet that resists this shell and maintain his advantage in naval warfare, because for him, if he wants to easily defeat Europe and seize and occupy their colonies, he must at least raise the industrial level to the level of World War I.

"I will supervise the iron armor. You only need to add a layer of iron armor to the warship." Xiao Ming said that Zhang Liang's son has been studying shipbuilding in Qingzhou and has returned to Dengzhou now. This technology should not be a problem for them.

"Yes, the emperor." Zhang Liang wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. The technology of the Great Yu Kingdom is developing too fast. Often, a new technology begins to be used as soon as one technology is mastered.

It is not easy to be responsible for the construction of warships in the Great Yu Kingdom.

This time, Xiao Ming came to explain to Zhang Liang. He inspected the shipyard for a day and returned to Dengzhou with Yang Chengye.

The next day, he and a group of officials came to Dengzhou Station again, and they would take a locomotive to return to Dayu Country.

"Father, Dengzhou is so fun. Can I come back in the future?" Xiao Yi looked outside at the car window and was reluctant to leave. While he was patrolling, the little guy looked at the sea under the leadership of Fei Yueer and others and ate a lot of good things.

After rubbing Xiao Yi's head, he said, "Of course, but you have to study hard."

Xiao Yi nodded obediently when he heard this.

“Woo woo…”

The familiar whistle sounded again, and the locomotive began to accelerate slowly. Six hours later, the locomotive arrived in Qingzhou.

As they got off the locomotive, the officials were filled with emotion. They had finally realized the terrible transportation capacity of the steam locomotive. With the railway, factories would bloom everywhere in the Great Chongqing Kingdom without being restricted by resources.
