Since Sun Ce became the commander of the Western Fleet, he has indeed devoted all his energy to the construction of the navy without any distractions, and has not shown the slightest disobedience to the Wei court.
Because Sun Ce has completely awakened.
My vision was too small.
He knew that he could not defeat Cao Cao and his son.
He simply cannot create a cause greater than the Great Wei Empire.
Since there is no way to do better than them, then join them and contribute to this great empire and this great era, and the future prosperity will also have its own place and some achievements.
Huang Zhong asked: "Does Your Highness have any special instructions?"
Sun Ce nodded and said, "His Royal Highness is very satisfied with the speed of our fleet construction. He told us to make persistent efforts. This time, Wa's action is just a small test."
Huang Zhong cheered up: "Could it be that His Highness has a new arrangement?"
Sun Ce said: "I am called the Western Fleet at the full level, so the bid is naturally to go to the Western Ocean, and there are many powerful countries in the Western Ocean. No matter the population or size, they are not comparable to the Japanese country."
Huang Zhong was very excited. He was unknown in the first half of his life, and he was finally reused after his sixtieth birthday.
Huang Zhong has already realized that the Great Wei Navy will become the most powerful weapon for the Great Wei Empire to expand its territory, spread its influence, and promote kingship in the future, and if he can be assigned as an admiral, he will definitely have the opportunity to make meritorious service in the future.
As the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant.
Huang Zhong also admired Cao Ang, and recognized Cao Ang's ability and potential. In the future, as long as he
Follow him, and you will surely be famous in history.
And at the same time.
Cao Ang led the team in Langya County.
Himiko has a special status in this team.
During the past few days of sailing, she got along well with Diao Chan and the others, and she has already begun to be called sisters.
With the majesty of the queen removed, Himiko felt much less pressure.
She no longer has to worry about being plotted against by others, she doesn't have to worry about her people being dissatisfied with the queen, and she doesn't have to worry about her country being threatened by enemy countries such as the dog slave country.
Now, she feels at ease like never before.
At this moment, she is full of longing for the land of China and Luoyang, the capital of the Wei emperor. She is very curious about what the capital of such a country looks like.
Chapter 707 Unshakable
Although I have not gone to Luoyang at this moment.
But Langya County, as the land of Qilu, also belongs to the rich and prosperous area since ancient times.
After the establishment of the Great Wei Empire, it began to focus on the development of fishery, and a large number of retired warships were all converted into fishing boats.
Langya County is densely populated, rich in fishing grounds, and popular.
There are large-scale fishing boats docking at the port wharf all the time. All kinds of seafood are carried by workers in units of kilograms and sent to special fishing grounds for sorting. Sun-dried or pickled for processing.
There are at least tens of thousands of people on the entire assembly line, which shocked Himiko very much.
Because the entire Yamatai has only 30 households and a total population of more than [-], Dawei can invest so many young adults in just a partial fishery industry.
As the saying goes, it can be seen from a glimpse of a leopard in a tube.
The strength of the Wei Empire can be seen from the size of the fishing ground in Langya County.
"Sister Himiko!"
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao ran to Himiko.
Xiao Qiao said excitedly: "There is a newly built whaling ground in Langya County, I heard that the whales sent here are as big as the legendary Kun, let's go and have a look together.
Himiko was a little surprised: "What is Kun?"
Da Qiao explained: "This is a huge fish mentioned by Zhuangzi in "Xiaoyaoyou". Its size is comparable to the earth. I didn't expect such a big fish to exist."
Even though Himiko is a Japanese.
But the Japanese food of this period.
Mainly rely on grain-based crops.
It's not that the Japanese don't fish, it's just that the amount they catch is limited, and the Japanese can't build big boats. Even if they fish, they do it in the near sea or shallow sea. Have you ever seen a whale?
Because of Cao Ang's relationship.
Great Wei attaches great importance to the ocean.
It can be said to be far better than any period in ancient Chinese history.
And because of the continuous opening of water transport and shipping, as well as the progress of industrial production and ship power, the fishery of the Great Wei Empire reached an unprecedented level of prosperity.
There are a lot of fat fish, shrimp and crab every day.
From various coastal fishing grounds, it is sent to the inland through canals.
In key cities such as Xuchang, Luoyang, Jianye, and Yecheng, fresh seafood appears in the market every day, which was unimaginable before.
An infusion of seafood.
Let the Han people have a richer source of protein.
In addition, if the marine industry wants to develop, whaling is a link that cannot be bypassed. This is a very important issue in history.
ancient industry.
Another time and space.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the whaling industry was at its peak and once became one of the most important pillar industries of the United States and other maritime powers. It has become an indispensable part of society and economy for a long time.
According to records.
peak whaling season
Every day hundreds of whaling ships set out to catch large numbers of whales.
Among them, whale fat is refined into whale oil, and various commodities are made from whale bones and skins, which are sold to various parts of the world, creating extremely high economic value.
Why are whales so important?
