Chapter 278 - Queen Qin

(Thank you for your support. The third update, a 6,000-word chapter.)

Hong Makoto hovered next to the giant ship and looked at it silently. Compared to the giant steel ship with a height of more than ten meters and a length of more than one hundred meters, he seemed very small. He is holding a steel chisel, ready to write an inscription.

Zhang Hao watched with Daoist Mingxu from the side.

After a while, Mako Hiroshi probably finished measuring and began to carve characters. However, the steel chisels rubbed against the steel armor of the giant ship and sparks shot randomly, accompanied by harsh noises. This huge ship made entirely of steel is beyond imagination. Even Hong Makoto was struggling.

The most important thing is that lettering is not about destroying, which also adds a lot of difficulty.

But Hong Zhenzi is worthy of being in the stage of transforming gods, and seems to be a master in the late stage of transforming gods. Soon three strong, almost one-meter-sized fonts appeared above the waterline:

Reach!

After finishing engraving on one side, I flew to the other side to engrave it again. Finally, Hong Zhenzi flew to Zhang Hao, and said with some emotion: "It's so hard steel. This kind of material does not need to be processed, and its hardness is already comparable to that of Lingbao itself. If it is added with post-processing, it must be extraordinary."

While talking, Hiro Mako put the steel chisel into his storage space.

Zhang Hao: ...

Then Zhang Hao silently turned his head to look at Feng Zhiling beside him. Today's Feng Zhiling is too honest, since leaving Guangling City, Feng Zhiling has hardly spoken, and seems to be trying to reduce his sense of existence. This made Zhang Hao very curious. When did my senior brother become so quiet?

"What are you looking at!" Feng Zhiling suddenly took a look at Zhang Hao, and then suddenly realized, "Junior brother, I gave you two wooden figures carved from Shenyin wood pith before, I remember the ones worth 100,000 high-grade spirit stones .You settle the score quickly, senior brother, my money is a little tight recently!"

Zhang Hao: ...

Today, Feng Zhiling is obviously not right. Wait, Hong Zhenzi's performance is exactly the same as Feng Zhiling's, so...does it have anything to do with it?

Oops, remembered. This Master Hongzhenzi's uncle is the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, and Feng Zhiling is a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall. Hey, it really isn't that the whole family doesn't enter every door!

"Crack!" Hong Zhenzi came over, and pointed the back of Feng Zhiling's head, "That little wooden man has made a great contribution to grabbing a strand of Taoist Dingshan's divine sense. Do you want a spirit stone now, or a contribution from a sect? "

"Oh, of course the sect contributed!"

Zhang Hao: You are a pair of treacherous master and apprentice.

After Hong Zhenzi slapped Feng Zhiling, he came to Zhang Hao's face and said, "The little guy is good. This giant steel ship really opened my eyes. When are you going to set sail?"

"Reporting to Master Uncle, it is estimated that the giant ship will take more than ten days. After that, the sailors, captains, etc. will be trained. This time is not sure. It must be ensured that they can fully control Zhang Hao's steel giant before they can set sail. But I think , It will not take a few days. During this period of time, many guards of the Zhang family have been practicing at sea."

When Hong Zhenzi got out of the barrier, he saw several wooden boats and a small iron-clad ship on the sea in front of him, and everyone was practicing on it. Dugu Junjie was drenched all over his body at this time, and his clothes were covered with salt, but he still directed everyone to train.

Makoto Hiroshi nodded, "Where is your first goal?"

"The first goal is relatively simple. We want to find one that is relatively easy and easy to achieve. Therefore, our first voyage plan is to go south along the coastline, passing through the country of Danyang and the country of Canglan, and finally arrive at the land of fertile soil. The Emerald Sea in the south of the continent.

We will try to intercept merchant ships from the East at sea and complete transactions at sea.

As for the specific details of the transaction, we still have to wait for Dongfang's intelligence. We have sent people to the east to investigate. "

Makoto Hiroshi nodded, "That's right, the first goal is one that is easier to achieve. If you just go south along the coast, there should be no problem.

When are you going to look for overseas Jiuxian Mountain? "

Zhang Hao thought for a while before saying: "This is what I think. We need to train a group of outstanding talents first, and after we have five giant ships, we are going to try to head south, cross the green sea of ​​death directly, and open up a new world from the sea. The route of the Fertile Continent.

This is a further adventure and attempt to accumulate experience.

After this success, we will start looking for Jiuxian Mountain overseas.

Time... Maybe three to five years, maybe ten years, or even longer.

After all, no one has been able to explore the green sea of ​​death for tens of thousands of years, and I dare not say that it will be successful now.

But master uncle, don't worry, no matter how many difficulties there are, I will never give up! "

"Good! Very good!" Hong Zhenzi patted Zhang Hao's shoulder vigorously, and he looked quietly into the distance, as if he was also immersed in the great voyage in the future. "When I was very young, I also dreamed that one day I might be able to cross the green sea of ​​death. But then I realized that this is very difficult.

Although the god transformation stage is powerful, it is so insignificant in the vast sea.

There is no place to stand, and dangerous sea monsters are everywhere. Those powerful sea monsters will even hunt and kill the masters of the clan, just like we hunt and kill the monster clan. And they are in groups, and they are invincible.

I almost escaped the siege once by narrow escape.

In the sea, we can only continue to consume and it is difficult to replenish.

But if there is a giant steel ship as a foothold... it may be much better.

It's just the biggest sea monster I've ever seen, bigger than a giant ship. Such a huge ship is like a big toy in front of those sea monsters. Little use. "

Looking at the tumbling sea in the distance, Zhang Hao said softly: "So, Zhiyuan is just the beginning. My goal is to build a real sea and land!"

"Work hard! Believe that you can do it. You are still young, so you only have the foundation building stage. And we have been yearning for the other side of the ocean for tens of thousands of years, and there is nothing to wait for decades or hundreds of years."

"Thank you, Master Uncle."

Hong Zhenzi nodded, thought for a moment and suddenly took out a book from the storage ring: "This is for you, it is very difficult to sail on the sea, especially to distinguish the direction.

There are no reference objects on the vast sea, and if you encounter foggy weather or continuous rainy days, your eyes will be blurred.

You can take a look at this "Astronomy" to see if you can understand it. I got this copy of "Astronomy" when I traveled to the Eastern Kunlun Continent.

In the East, all sea ships must have "astrologers" who rely on "astrology" to navigate the ship. I heard that an excellent astrologer equipped with a compass can guide the ship to the correct course even if it is cloudy all the way.

In the East, the status of an excellent astrologer is no worse than that of the God Transformation Period! "

"Astrology? Astrologer?" Zhang Hao silently read the two terms, took the book handed over by Makoto Hiroshi with both hands, and opened it to read.

This book is very ordinary, it is only recorded on ordinary paper, and it looks like it was still printed by engraving. The above content made Zhang Hao frown a little.

This astronomy is obviously a book of astronomy in the practice world, but this kind of astronomy is difficult to understand because it uses a lot of "non-mainstream" terms.

Qizheng, Beidou, Nandou, Twenty-eight Constellations, Sanyuan, Tianshi, Fenye, etc., there are also leap months, chronological days, chronological months, chronological years, etc.

Except for the Polaris above and a few who can see clearly, the rest of the eyes are dazed.

Zhang Hao looked at it for a while, then smiled wryly: "Master Uncle, do you have any friends who know how to draw astrology? Wait, please help me introduce you."

"Haha..." Hong Mako laughed.

Zhang Hao asked cautiously: "Could it be that Master Uncle really has it here?"

"No!"

"..." Then why are you laughing so loudly?

Makoto Hong said with a smile: "Actually, it's easy to find people who know how to draw stars. As long as you complete the first voyage and stop the Eastern merchant ship on the Emerald Sea, you can go up and poach the wall."

As far as I know, many astrologers who know astrology want to go to the open sea to have a look. However, due to various reasons, it is difficult to achieve the wish.

Traditional sea boats are all made of wood. According to what you said, the center of gravity of traditional sea-going ships is all floating on the sea. Such a ship is not stable when it reaches the sea. Even if the boat is very big, there is still the possibility of capsizing when encountering strong winds and waves.

Moreover, wooden boats are inherently light, and when the boat reaches the sea, a large number of sandbags are needed to press the boat.

I believe that as long as you show the power of the Zhiyuan, there will be astrologers recommending themselves! "

Zhang Hao's eyes gradually brightened. "Then, I will definitely facilitate the first voyage as soon as possible!"

"I follow the boat!" Daoist Master Mingxu said suddenly.

"Master, you..." Zhang Hao was a little surprised and surprised for a while.

Daoist Mingxu smiled, "I wanted to sail on the sea for a long time, but I never had the chance. Now it's the stage of becoming a god, maybe it's time to take a look around.

Seeing it everywhere is also good for practice. If I have a chance in the future, I hope to explore overseas Jiuxian Mountain.

My ancestors left me "Kuodixiang", and I, my unworthy descendant, at least have to take the place of my ancestors! "

…………

After a busy day, Hong Zhenzi and Daoist Mingxu stayed at Zhang's house in the evening. In the evening, Zhang Hao took Zhou Xueyao to meet the two elders.

Now, the Zhang family has completed the ceremony with Xinglintang, and Zhou Xueyao is already Zhang Hao's fiancée. Just wait for Zhang Hao to achieve the Golden Core Stage, and then choose a good day and auspicious day to get married.

And because Zhou Xueyao has been living in the Zhang family for a while and is in charge of chemical technology research, and her status has been confirmed, she has also become more generous. For example, he was dragged by Zhang Hao to meet his elders tonight.

Hong Zhenzi and Daoist Mingxu were very happy. Especially Daoist Mingxu, he treated her like a daughter-in-law. Moreover, Daoist Master Mingxu has lived in Qixia Country all year round, so of course he understands the influence and contribution of Xinglin Hall, so he is very enthusiastic about Zhou Xueyao.

After Zhou Xueyao offered tea to the two elders, Daoist Ming Xu gave Zhou Xueyao a teleportation talisman, which is the so-called life-saving talisman. He also pointed out Zhou Xueyao's practice.

And Hong Zhenzi took out a piece of "Lingming Jade Pendant", "As long as you wear the jade on your body, you can keep your mind clear at all times, and it has the effect of preventing madness. It is very helpful for you to study elixir and so on."

Beside him, Senior Brother Feng Zhi Lingfeng was unwilling to be lonely again. "Master Uncle, Zhou Xueyao doesn't research pills anymore, she studies explosives. The gunpowder you see today was researched by Zhou Xueyao."

Zhang Hao: ...

Zhou Xueyao: ...

"Hehe..." Hong Zhenzi looked embarrassed, he laughed dryly for a while, and said dryly, "The explosives are also good, and they can save people when used in national defense."

Feng Zhiling seemed to have something to say, but this time Makoto Hong couldn't bear it anymore, so he stopped quickly and asked Feng Zhiling to pour tea for him.

Senior Brother Feng Zhiling still didn't stop thinking when pouring tea, he muttered, "Master Uncle, have you seen the scar-like lake in front of Guangling City, let me tell you, when we retreated that day The more than 300 tons of explosives buried in the ground rushed to the sky in one blow, 170,000 to 80,000 people..."

Zhang Hao's face was not good-looking, and this senior brother decisively dropped the chain at a critical moment. Zhou Xueyao looked even paler.

For Zhou Xueyao, she has always wanted to be a doctor who heals diseases and saves lives, but the reality forced Zhou Xueyao to make some helpless choices. But Feng Zhiling's thoughts here are a bit sad.

Zhou Xueyao got up after sitting for a while and said goodbye, saying that she still had experiments to complete.

"Hey, why are you leaving?" Feng Zhiling looked surprised - this guy didn't even know how lethal his mouth was.

"Shut up!" Hong Zhenzi couldn't bear it anymore, "Do you know how many of your senior brothers want to beat you in the back! I have heard these words several times, and I don't want to talk to you Say. When can you change your stinking mouth!"

Feng Zhiling blinked suspiciously: "Uncle Master, I just want to introduce Zhou Xueyao to you. I really admire her, really."

Hong Makoto sneered, "I think she will put tons of explosives in your residence tonight. Be careful when you sleep tonight."

Feng Zhiling blinked, hummed a few times and stopped talking.

During the dinner, Zhou Xueyao didn't show up—in fact, they couldn't be together before they got married.

Zhang Shengde and Zhang Shengye paid a visit to Hong Zhenzi and Daoist Ming Xu, Zhang Hao's mother also came out to pay a visit, and then left. However, Hong Zhenzi and Daoist Ming Xu gave Zhang Hao's mother several pills. According to them, these pills will definitely break through the golden elixir stage.

Hong Zhenzi checked and concluded that Zhang Hao's mother had suffered a lot since she was a child, and her foundation was not very good. These pills can greatly replenish the foundation. Not perfect, but at least it should be enough to break through the Nascent Soul Stage. This can also have a longer lifespan.

When the Yuanying stage has thousands of years of life, it will have time to slowly reshape the foundation.

…………

Five days passed quietly, during these five days, Hong Zhenzi and Taoist Master Mingxu had already left, and they went to live temporarily at Zixu Temple on Cuizhufeng, which was originally Taoist Master Mingxu's dojo.

However, during these five days, the entire Qixia Country was in a state of turmoil. The news that Liu Xinyu was elected as the queen has spread all over the sky.

The Zhang family and the Dayang Group are making efforts, and the military is also making efforts.

Dayang Group is the simplest and has the most extensive influence. In the past few days, as Liu Xinyu continued to finalize some new laws, Dayang Group and related industrial and commercial classes began to support Liu Xinyu.

The industrial and commercial class needs a new social status, and Liu Xinyu can just do it. In particular, the first article of the new law turned out to be: Individual legal property is sacred and inviolable.

Don't think it's just a simple sentence, but it is this sentence that completely changed the state of Qixia Kingdom.

Once upon a time, it was the land of the kings all over the world! The emperor is rich in the world! After this law, it completely restricted the rights of the emperor.

Of course, the reason why Liu Xinyu agreed was also a sensible person-although the emperor was rich in the whole country in the past, many times the emperor's rights had to be compromised with the aristocratic family. The so-called rich world is just a piece of nonsense that sounds good.

But bullshit also represents the 'structure' of power.

Perhaps for the time being, Liu Xinyu's rights have not changed "substantially", but they have changed in essence. The emperor's rights are limited.

But Liu Xinyu happily agreed. For this new law, she discussed with Zhang Hao for a long time.

Liu Xinyu accepted Zhang Hao's suggestion.

She has a mind that many traditional emperors cannot match, and... ambition!

In short, because of Dayang Group's efforts, the enthusiasm of the industrial and commercial classes across the country was high, and everyone began to support Liu Xinyu in their own ways. Don't underestimate the industrial and commercial class, they directly contact the civilian class and the upper class. great influence.

Next is the military. In this war, the military's support for Liu Xinyu is beyond doubt. Victory is the best reason. Not to mention there is Wu Fanghai guiding everyone.

And in order to gain the support of the military, Liu Xinyu rewarded her generously. Most of the wealth collected from Guangling City was rewarded. Even those weapons and armor originally belonging to the Jinyang Kingdom were sold to mercenaries and merchants at low prices, and many of them flowed into the Danyang Kingdom and the Zhoushan Kingdom in the north.

Most of the spirit stones sold for weapons and armor were rewarded to soldiers.

Just from the industrial and commercial class and the military, Liu Xinyu won the support of most of the country.

The second is folk speeches, which can be ignored. Because this is the world of practice, in this world, those whose cultivation base is below the sixth level of the Qi refining stage are ignored. This is the characteristic of the practice world.

The last thing left is the family and so on.

Although Liu Xinyu carried out a major cleansing of the whole country, there are still many families and sects that survived. Some of them did not have time to surrender to the country of Jinyang, and some of them were indeed somewhat loyal to the country of Qixia.

In addition, places such as Xingchang County, Nanyang County, and Ninghe County were not captured by the Kingdom of Jinyang, and many families remained.

These families were very resistant to Liu Xinyu's ruthless slaughter. In this regard, many of them have expressed silence; there are even rumors spreading secretly:

Liu Xinyu killed his brother and seized power!

And this time the rumors went too far, Liu Xinyu not only killed the eldest brother, but also killed the second brother, this is a femme fatale, if she ascends the throne and becomes emperor, then don't kill the whole country!

Needless to say, for many people, they believed it!

In fact, most of the common people are ignorant, they don't know how to analyze rationality. And for the families that have existed nearby for hundreds or thousands of years, I believe even more. Because in the past, the laws of the empire could not control the sphere of influence of the family, and it is still the case today.

As for these families, Liu Xinyu couldn't continue to kill them. If the killing continues, Qixia Country will be empty. And it will be frightening. After all, there was no clear act of treason by these men.

It's just that the dying struggles of these families failed to shake Liu Xinyu's determination.

Five days passed, and Liu Xinyu received the support of the military, as well as the support of the emerging class and the industrial and commercial class.

As for the new industrial and commercial class, many of them were converted from the small and medium-sized families in the past, and everyone has also mastered a lot of talents.

Most importantly, the industrial and commercial class is rich! In the past, everyone had no rights and was desperately trying to make money. Now, it's finally time to spend money.

For his own social status, under the guidance of Zhang Hao and the Dayang Group, a shameful act occurred: election bribery!

A lot of wealth was spread, including assisting post-war regional reconstruction, distributing food, salt, treating the wounded, etc., and the industrial and commercial class quickly gained the recognition of the whole society.

Even in the vicinity of Guangling City, the people have 'forgot' the disaster - in fact, most of the dead were nobles, and ordinary people lived outside the city, so the disaster really had nothing to do with them.

Moreover, the rapid restoration of social order by the industrial and commercial class further demonstrated their abilities and responsibilities, which Liu Xinyu recognized even more.

In contrast, the traditional family has given full play to its stinginess and has gradually been marginalized.

On the morning of the sixth day, Liu Xinyu slowly appeared on a temporary high platform in the south of the ruins of Guangling City, in a simple building that could be regarded as a gazebo.

Today's Liu Xinyu wears the crown that has been passed down from the Qixia Kingdom. On the crown is a pearl the size of a pigeon egg that shines brightly.

But different from the emperor's golden gown, Liu Xinyu is wearing a black gown with red patterns. The pattern on the gown is not a golden dragon, but a flame phoenix. Graceful, majestic, noble, and a little mysterious.

Liu Xinyu slowly came to the high platform and looked down at the ground.

Surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers, more than one million people and the new industrial and commercial class, everyone is shouting: Long live the queen!

There is no ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, no prayers to the late emperor. There are no traditional ceremonies.

This is a fresh start and a farewell to the past.

Liu Xinyu stood quietly, with indescribable excitement in her eyes. Although I have thought about it countless times, I finally stand here today, enjoying the cheers of the crowd.

The cheers were like waves, moving mightily over the ruins of Guangling City, over the golden harvest fields, over the mountains with fallen leaves, and spread to the entire country of Qixia. Perhaps in the near future, this voice will spread to the west of Fertile Continent, and even the whole world!

On this day, in the westernmost part of Fertility Continent, in this legendary country where sunsets return, there was a flame phoenix reborn from the ashes.

High in the sky, Liu Dingshan, Hong Xuanzi, and Taoist Master Mingxu watched quietly. There is emotion and shock in their eyes.

Millions of people shouted long live, which was impossible for most emperors in the past.

It took a long time for the cheers to calm down. Prime Minister Zhao Duo came to the steps at Liu Xinyu's feet, unfolded the imperial decree with black phoenix patterns, and read it aloud. The voice of Yuanying Stage echoed between heaven and earth:

"The luck of the heavens is unchanging, and its fate is renewed. Aid toasts, civil and military affairs will make the country.

Empress Qinqin is famous far and wide; Empress Mumu is named Xinde. "
