Chapter 255 Sauvignon Blanc 12
Shipbuilding technology is the way for Hao Ling to get rid of his dependence on the Chishui clan for shipbuilding.

Haoling has a lot of water, and almost all of its ships are purchased from the Chishui clan. This is not a good thing for Haoling.

The ships that they rely on for survival actually depend on a clan. This means that if one day Hao Ling and Chi Shui stand on different fronts, Chi Shui can cut off the supply of ships to Hao Ling at any time.

Ling Xi knew this, and King Hao Ling also knew this.

In some ways, in some respects, they are surprisingly similar as father and daughter.

For example, some thoughts, such as a dull heart.

Therefore, after Ling Xi passed on the papermaking and shipbuilding techniques to King Hao Ling, King Hao Ling almost immediately realized how great an impact these two technologies would have on Hao Ling.

Then, he immediately sent people to study these things secretly.

Even though we have the production method, it still takes time to produce the finished products and more product varieties.

Ling Xi, on the other hand, was looking through various books in the space, trying to find other things that Hao Ling needed, striving to make Hao Ling stronger and bigger.

Time flies by so fast that before we know it, more than two hundred years have passed.

The lifespan of gods is thousands of years, so a few hundred years is not a very long time for them.

More than two hundred years is enough time for a lot of things to happen.

For example, Hao Ling invented higher-yield wheat and rice, which were planted everywhere. At the same time, different regions developed different industries according to local conditions, such as sugar making, wine making, silkworm breeding and so on.

Hao Ling's papermaking skills are well-known throughout the Great Wilderness. Not only Hao Ling, but also Xi Yan is very popular.

Ordinary paper in Haoling Country is not expensive, so books printed with this paper are not expensive either. An ordinary civilian can buy one and take it home to use for enlightenment.

The white, delicate, light and convenient paper made people abandon the thick bamboo slips and choose the paper produced by Haoling. The income from paper became a major source of income for Haoling.

Hao Ling's shipbuilding technology is also well-known, not inferior to the Chishui clan who make their living by shipbuilding, and he has also successfully obtained a lot of Chishui clan's business.

At the same time, Haoling has developed new agricultural tools and has promoted them to the people of Haoling, greatly facilitating Haoling's farming.

If we say that Hao Ling's national strength was not as good as Xi Yan's more than two hundred years ago, Hao Ling's national strength is not much different from Xi Yan's at present.

Of course, this is just on the surface. Outsiders have no idea what the reality is.

The rolling mountains are covered with lush green trees, and this lush forest surrounds a small town, making people feel like they are in a green wonderland.

Qingshui Town is located at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, between Haoling and Xiyan. It has a special geographical location, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery.

This place is far away from the world and disputes. It does not belong to any sphere of influence. It is a state of no man's land between Haoling and Xiyan. Humans, gods and monsters can all live here equally. It is a pure land in the wilderness.

However, Ling Xi himself felt that Hao Ling was not much worse than Qingshui Town today.

Over the past two hundred years, she and her father have continuously improved the status of the people and strived to make their lives better. Now, in some places in Haoling, people, gods, and monsters have achieved peaceful coexistence, and there will be no situation where the gods bully the human and monster races. This is exactly what Ling Xi and King Haoling have been pursuing all their lives.

On this day, the people of Qingshui Town got up early as usual and went about their business. The originally quiet and harmonious town gradually became lively.

At the same time, a very plain-looking carriage slowly drove over. The driver was a young man in plain clothes. There was a peculiarly shaped gourd hanging around his waist. No one knew whether it was filled with wine or water, but he would take a sip from it from time to time.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Qingshui Town.

The first person to get out of the carriage was a young man in blue clothes, with a purse hanging around his waist. He looked elegant and easy-going.

Then, the curtain embroidered with dark gold patterns was pulled open.

The man in blue originally wanted to reach out his hand to pick up the person in the carriage, but a woman in a red skirt embroidered with gold edges jumped off the carriage first. Her movements were swift and the skirt did not hinder her movements at all.

The woman was wearing a veil, revealing a pair of eyes as calm as water, just like the vast ocean, attracting people to fall deeper and deeper.

Then, a woman in pink clothes and a veil jumped down from the carriage just like the woman in red. Because of the veil, the woman's almond-shaped eyes looked more lively and smart.

These three people are Ling Xi, An Nian and Xuan Xuan.

This time, Ling Xi took An Nian on a trip. Starting from Haoling, passing through Xiyan, and arriving at Qingshui Town, more than 20 years had passed since they set out.

Now that Hao Ling is on the right track, it doesn't matter if she, the young master, is not around. She has her father around. If worst comes to worst, there are still Rushou, Tan Mang, Fangfeng Yiying and She Shuhui.

They are now Ling Xi's right-hand men and shoulder important responsibilities. This time when Ling Xi went out traveling, she did not bring them with her, so that they could stay in Haoling to act for her in case of any emergencies.

As for Xuan, when Ling Xi was about to go out for a trip, Xuan offered herself to King Hao Ling to protect them. Her good father suddenly had a brain storm and actually agreed to this request.

Ling Xi naturally guessed why Xuan wanted to go out with them. On the surface, he said he wanted to protect them, but in fact, he was secretly looking for his sister Hao Ling Jiuyao, her nominal sister who ran down from Yushan Mountain more than two hundred years ago and disappeared.

Xi Yanxuan wanted to find his sister, but Ling Xi didn't say much, as it wouldn't affect her anyway.

Over the years, Xuan had been quite nice to her and Anian, but there wasn't much genuine affection in his kindness. He simply treated her and Anian as substitutes for his sister Hao Ling Jiuyao.

Ling Xi's attitude towards Xuan Xuan can't be said to be good, nor bad. He has always maintained a normal and distant attitude, neither close nor distant.

A man who treats her as a substitute, doesn't expect her to be nice to him.

It's just that she can act and pretend that she doesn't hate him, so this is not very difficult for her.

Anian, on the other hand, felt insulted ever since she found out the truth about how good Xuan was to her. She looked down on Xuan and almost had the words "I hate Xuan" written on her forehead.

Ling Xi looked at the three big characters "Qingshui Town" on the stone at the entrance of the town, and felt the rich spiritual energy near Qingshui Town, and his mind couldn't help but relax.

Qingshui Town is worthy of being located at the foot of Mount Buzhou. It has abundant spiritual energy and this good place is not wasted.
