Ye Chunqiu pondered for a moment, then roughly stated the results he had calculated.

The ships are roughly around 200, of course, this is calculated based on the size and volume of the horse ship.

I believe that those private businesses will never have a lucky ship that can accommodate thousands of people. This is a product of the Zheng He era. Even if Liu Daxia has this drawing, he may not be able to make it happen.

When Zhu Houzhao heard about two hundred, his face changed a little, and he looked very bad.

Ye Chunqiu said: "Of course, most of these are cargo ships, but in this era, there is not much difference between cargo ships and warships. Even the warships of the Flang machine are mostly just a few more iron cannons. In addition to firing a few guns before getting close, they still need to fight melee after getting close. Of course, our advantage is that the speed of the ships will be faster than theirs, after all, they are warships."

Speaking of this, Ye Chunqiu's eyes became deeper and then said, "But... if there is a fleet of 200 ships, the sailors alone will probably need two or three thousand people. If the samurai they have raised may even collude with the Japanese, I'm afraid..."

"How many?" Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao frowned with a solemn expression.

Ye Chunqiu thought about it and said, "There should be no less than five thousand people."

"So many!" Zhu Houzhao immediately took a breath. Obviously, no matter how he thought about it, he could never have imagined that the numbers would be so amazing.

Ye Chunqiu thought to himself, how could this be called too much? When Zheng He went to the West, the scale was more than 20,000 people and more than 200 large and small ships, but the lucky ships were the most powerful, and could carry more than a thousand people.

A glimmer flashed in Ye Chunqiu's eyes, and he continued: "Your Majesty, over the years, there have been many Japanese pirates in the southeast islands. It's better that they are here now. If they can gather together, it will give us the opportunity to gather and annihilate them."

"But it's too dangerous." Zhu Houzhao frowned even deeper, and then said angrily: "I finally understand why they always say that the sea is forbidden, the sea is forbidden, haha... It turns out that as long as the sea is forbidden, the sea will become a place for their accumulation of power, and it is a place for them to make huge profits and hide dirt. These people are really hateful. I will leave the palace tonight and blow the person named Lu to the sky this time."

Ye Chunqiu was also deeply disgusted with the hypocrisy of these private businesses. He did not stop Zhu Houzhao. He just looked at Zhu Houzhao deeply and said, "Your Majesty, you must remember that before taking action, you must release the Zhang brothers first."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and her expression became strange in an instant. She looked at Ye Chunqiu, who was a little bit terrified, and suddenly felt that Ye Chunqiu was so sinister.

Well……

Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned, shook her head, changed into a dejected look on her face, and said, "Forget it, just turn around and deal with them. I suddenly felt compassion. Somehow, I felt unbearable."

Ye Chunqiu looked at him with a strange expression on his face. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Instead, he felt that he was a little "out of the ordinary". He simply laughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, I admire him, I admire him."

The two chatted again, and Ye Chunqiu always felt that Zhu Houzhao seemed to have something to worry about, so she didn't stay for a long time and left.

In fact, Ye Chunqiu has been focusing on Zhenguo Mansion these days, but he wants to urge the navy. Unfortunately, the navy is now practicing in the offshore, and the matter of going to Qinhuangdao was delayed. It was only seven or eight days before returning to Tianjin Port for supply. The rest of the time, he went out to sea to practice repeatedly. What Ye Chunqiu could do was to provide them with the best logistics, and the rest was beyond help.

On the contrary, Zhenguo Mansion has become increasingly prosperous, and under the leadership of the carriage, it is booming.

The sales of crane cars are rising steadily, and once the civilians and cargo vehicles are launched, they are immediately popular. Ordinary families are not rich and naturally cannot afford crane cars, but they also need a more decent transportation tool. After all, they are higher than ordinary poor families, regardless of status or property, so civilian cars are launched in a timely manner.

This kind of car is often not suitable for a special coachman, so the coachman is often driven by a man at home. Although he uses a sofa behind him, he is not a sofa for one person to sit on. Instead, he is relatively cheaply arranged sofas. However, he naturally does not have a coffee table when he sits on three or four people at a time, and the sealing is not good. Although there are crystal windows, it cannot be opened. The comfort level is definitely far from being on a crane carriage, but it is more comfortable than ordinary carriages and sedan chairs.

In fact, the reason why this kind of civilian car has huge sales is not only that those rich families are willing to buy it, but the most important thing is that the car shops have the credit. The capital is very big. If you want to walk along, it may not be possible to finish it within one or two hours. Some people may not be willing to rush out when they go out, so car shops on the road appear. In fact, there are many cold sedans in the capital to attract business, but not many people are engaged in this industry.

The reason is that it is still too expensive. The two sedan chairmen do nothing and make a special trip for an hour or two, carrying you from east to west. The price is quite expensive.

But horse carriages are different. The carriages are transported large. Although the horse prices are high, the speed is also fast. One or two hours can be shortened to half an hour, and the driver is also easy. Therefore, the price of rushing for a car is much cheaper. In the past, when I hired a sedan to go somewhere, it was not easy to get off. Now, ten cents are enough. Sitting in a sedan is sometimes slower than walking. However, carriages can save time and speed, but the price is one-third and a quarter of the original price. This makes people who were stingy in the past willing to spend some money to hire a car to travel.

There are also some pieces of carts. The driver is strolling around the city. When he meets someone who wants to go somewhere, he stops and talks about the price. If there are still tourists on the same road, he can also go up together. After all, there is a large space inside, and only one person can sit in a cold sedan chair. If the family travels, he has to hire a few. Most people can't afford it, so they let the female family sit and the male family walk. But now, the price of the family is worth it.

This makes it fashionable, comfortable, convenient and fast for many people to travel and hire cars. In addition, the price is acceptable. With these advantages alone, many car dealers have emerged in the capital and even some nearby prefectures. These people have a large amount of foodies, and often buy dozens of cars at a time. Open the door and can do business. There are even larger car dealers, which are bought with hundreds of civilian cars and hired drivers to walk everywhere in the capital.
