As a nation that split off from the Immortal Dynasty early on to establish its own country, Beizhou's history is much longer than that of Da Qian, and its overall national strength is also stronger. If formal trade relations could be established with them, it would be beneficial for both the Wang family and Da Qian.
However, the sea route from Da Qian to Beizhou is not easy to navigate. Due to the extreme cold in the north, many sea paths are covered with ice and snow all year round, with various harsh weather conditions emerging constantly on the sea surface, and sometimes, due to underwater movements, new underwater icebergs can suddenly appear. The natural conditions are very harsh, not to mention the sea is also full of fierce beasts and extremely dangerous.
Before the Wang family developed the steam ironclad warship, hardly any ships would risk sinking on their way north.
