In maritime trade, there are too many things to prepare and the cost to spend is too high.

Every time I go overseas, I have to prepare a lot of things and cannot carry all the goods.

It requires crew members and experienced sailors, and they also need to prepare enough daily necessities for them.

All food, drink, and use must be prepared in three months.

It cannot be missed. If not enough, something will happen at sea.

Judging from the past few years of navigation experience, if a certain material is insufficient or insufficient at sea, it will be really fatal.

In addition, people with sufficient authority and high status must be arranged to lead a fleet, so that they can control the emotions of the crew members when necessary and prevent the ship from losing control.

I have been drifting on the sea for several months, and the chances of docking on the shore are very limited. The emotions accumulated by the crew have nowhere to vent, and fighting with each other is inevitable.

At this time, organizers also need to consider how to relieve the pressure on the crew and relieve their emotions.

The Neijing also suggested that they carry more soybeans and release bean sprouts at sea for the crew to eat. It is quite important to say that this is very important and they must pay attention.

In this way, many talents find that the cost of going to sea once is really high, and it is not something that anyone can do casually.

If you don't prepare carefully, if you miss something, you will die at sea.

So they consulted with relevant departments of the inland court to learn about the most important things for maritime merchants, so that the merchant ships could return successfully, loaded with gold and silver, so that they could make a lot of money.

There were many people who set out in the first wave, all of whom had names and surnames in the court.

I took out my old fortune at home and set out with the emperor's merchant fleet. I don't know whether it was to make money or to please the emperor, but I said that I was standing with the emperor.

If it was just to show that he was standing with the emperor, would the cost be too high?

Some officials were puzzled by this.

If you believe that you can make money, you must have enough samples to make them believe that it is not enough for the emperor to make a lot of money.

These people's going overseas are also proofreading for everyone, so that other people with capital can go overseas believe that they can indeed make money from overseas, and they will make a lot of money.

Guo Jia asked the Guo clan that he borrowed a lot of money because Guo Jia himself did not have much money.

Cao Cao also asked Cao Ren that he had borrowed a lot of money because Mrs. Ding was unwilling to take out the family's foundation and let Cao Cao take risks. Cao Cao had to borrow money from Cao Ren, the current richest man in the Cao family.

Cao Ren was generous and lent a lot of money to Cao Cao, so Cao Cao struggled, and created five large sea boats and a lot of cargo, and joined the sea team.

Cao Cao originally planned to send a prestigious Cao clan member to be the leader of the Cao clan fleet, but he thought that this would be almost done.

However, Cao Cao did not expect that his eighteen-year-old concubine Cao Chongzhi volunteered to go to Rome with the merchant fleet to increase his knowledge.

Cao Chong's original name was Cao Chong. Although he was a concubine's son, Cao Cao loved him very much and often brought him by his side. His treatment was no worse than that of a few legitimate sons.

In the early years of Yande, in order to respond to Guo Peng's policy of resigning to the second name, Cao Cao changed Cao Chong's name to Cao Chongzhi.

On the one hand, this is to respond to the policy, and on the other hand, Cao Cao also had the idea of ​​changing his son's name and his luck.

Cao Chongzhi was in poor health when he was young and often fell ill, which made Cao Cao very worried. He thought that there would be good changes after changing his name, but he never thought that not long after changing his name, Cao Chongzhi fell ill and almost lost his life.

Fortunately, Hua Tuo, the head of the large clinic, took action in time and took several months to cure Cao Chongzhi's illness.

Since then, Cao Chongzhi seems to have changed his body, and his body is getting stronger and stronger.

Everyone said that this is a disaster that will bring good fortune, but Cao Cao felt that it had something to do with changing his name to him.

Cao Cao likes Cao Chongzhi because he is smart and active in thinking. He often gets full marks in exams since childhood and always gives Cao Cao a good face, which makes Cao Cao very happy.

Guo Jia's sons are not as powerful as Cao Chongzhi, and they are completely crushed by Cao Chongzhi in their studies.

Cao Cao often used this to mock Guo Jia, and Guo Jia always blew his beard and stared at him in anger, but he had no choice.

What can I do if someone has a good son?

The older he is, the better Cao Chongzhi is, and he has become the top student among the same period. Guo Jia is envious of him and doesn’t know how many lemons he ate. Of course, Cao Cao loves Cao Chongzhi more and more.

This time he went out to sea, Cao Chongzhi had completed his studies in advance and completed the championship ceremony, and was preparing for the imperial examination. When he heard the news, he immediately volunteered, hoping to go to Rome to increase his knowledge.

Cao Cao did not want to agree to this.

"The risk at sea is extremely high. Once a sea storm occurs, the ships are very likely to overturn. If one is not good, all the people and the ships are gone. It's okay if others go there. Even if the ships are overturned, the father will recognize him. But if you want to go, how can you rest assured to be a father?"

Cao Cao was not willing to let his beloved youngest son do something extremely risky like.

But Cao Chongzhi was not right. He was young and energetic. He felt that it was worthy of praise to be able to experience things that his predecessors had not experienced before. It was very wonderful to experience the vastness and danger of the sea and the foreign civilizations.

After trying hard to make a fuck, Cao Cao finally couldn't stand this fucking hard to make a fuck, so he nodded in helplessness.

However, for this, Cao Cao had to spend more money and arranged some guards to board the boat to protect Cao Chongzhi, and ensure that Cao Chongzhi's safety is ensured.

He was also worried about Cao Chongzhi's food and drink problems, and equipped him with a lot of food that he specialized in eating and drinking alone, as well as pickled meat, etc.

Although he knew that such equipment was meaningless when encountering a shipwreck, Zhang Liao and Xinpi vividly described the feeling of powerlessness and despair when the shipwreck occurred.

Generals like Zhang Liao, who have experienced many battles and are on the verge of despair, think that the sea storm is even more terrifying, let alone Xinpi.

At that time, Zhang Liao was able to stand and stabilize the morale of the army. Xinpi directly shrank in a corner, trembling with white color, until he got ashore, his legs were still weak.

Of course, Zhang Liao didn't say this, but Xinpi said it himself, saying that he was timid, and that the sea storm was very terrifying, etc.

It can be said that Cao Cao did not have no idea about the sea storm.

After thinking about it, on the eve of Cao Chongzhi's about to set off, he came to Cao Chongzhi's room and hoped that he would not go.

"I have heard of the horror of the storm on the sea. Once you encounter it, you will have no chance of survival. It would be fine if you don't meet it. Once you meet it, how can you... how can you live if you call it Father?"

Cao Cao held Cao Chongzhi's hand and was reluctant to let go.

Cao Chongzhi just laughed.

"Father, the son is going to grow up after all, and he wants to be independent and leave his father. He cannot leave him for a while. Can he not leave him for a lifetime? His father has raised his son for eighteen years, can he keep his son until his death?"

"If others don't do it, I can do it."

Cao Cao occasionally wants to be willful.

Cao Chongzhi laughed in silence.

"Father, a man should not just hide in a corner. If he lives in a corner for the rest of his life, wouldn't he be watching the sky? My son heard that the national affairs, military affairs, folk customs, and production of the Lou Mo country are very different from those of our Wei.

So my son wanted to go and see how the Lou Mo Kingdom, thousands of miles away, appeared and how it achieved the career of a great country. My son wanted to communicate face to face with the talents of Lou Mo Kingdom and found that their differences and similarities were found."

Cao Cao looked at his proud son and thought that he would go out and start his own business after all, and could not be with him forever. He sighed deeply and patted Cao Chongzhi's back of his hand.

"My mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles away, so how can my father not worry? Your brothers are now all over the world. Zi Xiu is far away in Zhenxi Protectorate, Zi Huan is in Xuzhou, Zi Jian goes to Pingzhou, Zi Wen is even in Mozhou, and you are the only one by your father."

"Father……"

Cao Chongzhi looked at his father who was getting older and a little unbearable, but just as he was about to say something, Cao Cao let go of his hand.

"Forget it, forget it, go there, see more about the outside world, and see things that my father has never seen before. It will be of many benefits to you. You will eventually have to start your own business and start your own family and career. You will not be able to take care of you for the rest of your life."

Cao Cao stared at Cao Chongzhi's face deeply: "But, there is only one requirement for his father, pay attention to safety."

"Father...son understand."

Cao Chongzhi held back his heart and nodded.

After all, Cao Cao did not stop the little eagle who wanted to fly alone and go out to sharpen his wings. He let go of his hand and gave the little eagle a chance to grow by himself. He hoped to see the little eagle return safely and have learned to fly when he returns.

Because after all, they have to be independent, establish their own businesses, and become the head of the family themselves.

After the full implementation of the land policy of Qingzhang, the Wei Empire formulated a very strict household division plan, stipulating that the son must go out to be independent and establish his own business after getting married and adults, and re-register with the government household registration. No one is allowed to be exceptional.

Of course, people like Cao Cao are no exception, or, in other words, no exception.

What Guo Peng cares about is the division of households of high-ranking officials and nobles.

After adulthood, you must get married, and after marriage, you must set up your own family and live by yourself. You must strictly prevent the behavior of three generations living together and four generations living together, and strictly prevent the behavior of a large population and not distinguishing households.

After the Wei Empire spread the tax on a mu, although the basis for taxation was changed to land, the labor service was mainly determined based on households.

When something happens, every household will have to pay a rank. If there are too many people in each household but only one rank is spent, it will be equivalent to weakening the mobilization ability of the Wei Empire in disguise.

Guo Peng attaches great importance to this point, especially for high-ranking families. If the children are not allowed to establish their own families in a timely manner, the career of their parents will be in a very serious crisis.

Even for the sake of career, the son must immediately go out and start his own business and re-register after getting married.

Cao Cao also knew that he could not keep Cao Chongzhi for a long time.

Despite this, as a father, it is impossible not to worry about his son. He always feels that it is too early to go out and start a business on his own.

The next day, Cao Cao bid farewell to Cao Chongzhi.

Watching Cao Chongzhi follow the mighty Cao family team to Qingzhou, preparing to board the ship in Qingzhou, then head to Yangzhou Merchant Shipping Base and the large army, and then head west.
