Chapter 284 You Are Zhang Hao

(It was amazing at noon today. I really dreamed that I was dreaming. But when I woke up, my head hurt and I felt that my energy was drained.)

The materials brought back from the East let everyone see a truly vast, civilized, and extensively communicated world.

While the Qixia Kingdom was trapped in a corner, the other continents were already conducting extensive exchanges. Ships and routes from different continents connect the worlds of civilizations.

The outside world is so prosperous, only the West of the Fertile Continent is isolated from the communication range of this civilization.

The most precious of all these materials is a nautical chart. It was a chart seven feet wide and one sheet long.

Liu Xinyu looked at this nautical chart. This nautical chart is similar to the map, but it is not as complete and detailed as the map. The continents are drawn in an abstract way. Coastlines, country boundaries, etc., are not even blurred at all. unclear.

But this still makes Liu Xinyu put it down.

This chart includes the entire Kunlun Continent, including the eastern and southern parts of the Fertile Continent, the northwest of the Territory Continent, the north of the Maotu Continent, the west of the Early Earth Continent; A little southern edge of the continent.

It is a map of the nautical world, a world map of this world, and a map of the civilized world. The area not covered by this nautical chart is... an uncivilized area, an area on the edge of civilization!

The west of the Fertile Continent didn't even appear on the map.

Liu Xinyu hung the chart on the wall next to it, covering a land map of Qixia Kingdom. She backed up slowly, backed up, and finally got a panoramic view of the chart.

Liu Xinyu glanced at the upper left corner of the chart (the location of Fertile Earth Continent), and there was only one point there, which was the 'Qianlong Harbor' that once belonged to the Land of Canglan. Then there are several ports in the Kingdom of Langya.

Ports are linked by dotted lines, which are the blood vessels connecting the civilized world. However, the Qixia Kingdom cannot enjoy the nourishment of the blood of these worlds. Only in the most remote corners of the world, we can accept the daily oppression of the Land of Canglan and the Land of Taihua for thousands of years.

Look at that huge world, and then imagine how small the country of Qixia is.

Liu Xinyu took a deep breath, and suddenly she had a deep understanding of Zhang Hao's opinions. If Qixia Country does not make changes, it will be completely eliminated by the world.

The outside world has already launched worldwide exchanges. But the Qixia Kingdom is still struggling to survive in a desolate corner.

Only when you see the world, you realize how small you are!

Liu Xinyu kept searching along the navigation line, overlooking the world from an unprecedented perspective.

The current nautical chart is still very crude, but it can't stop Liu Xinyu from imagining.

A kind of nameless pride rolled in Liu Xinyu's heart.

Liu Xinyu is like this, and so is Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao also silently watched a pair of nautical charts. This is the communication of the civilized world. However, if the Qixia Kingdom wants to get rid of the current predicament, it must "overtake on a curve", open up its own route, and connect with the civilized world.

Liu Xinyu looked at it for a long time, then suddenly turned to Zhang Hao and asked, "How long will it take for the Zhang family's giant steel ship to set off?"

"Your Majesty, the Zhiyuan Ship is already undergoing its final inspection. Now it depends on the training of Dugu Junjie and others. I plan to go back to check in the next few days, and make sure there is no problem, and the Zhiyuan Ship can set off."

"Very good! In the next few days, I will sort out the inner treasury to see what can be used for trading. This time, we will open the route. And use the advantage of the ironclad ship to monopolize this route."

As he said that, Liu Xinyu suddenly released his flying sword. The flying sword remained small and moved like a pointer on the map. "I found that the current routes are all in the inner sea. At least on this map, there is no route in the outer sea.

For example, this route, from the west of Maotu Island to the east of Taotu Island, is obviously direct; but the route has to go north and bypass the South China Sea of ​​Kunlun Island, and then go south. The voyage was almost doubled along the way.

If we can cross the open sea, then we can seize the route and trade. We can get a lot of wealth just relying on transportation! "

Only offer shipping? Sea coachman? Such a thought suddenly flashed across Zhang Hao's mind. But soon regained consciousness, "Your Majesty, if we want to do this, we must have sufficient strength.

I think we can develop a step-by-step development plan.

For example, we can first open up the route between Qixia Country and Emerald Sea. Try to get in touch with the outside world and learn about the outside world.

During this period, we continued to accumulate experience, increase the number of seafarers, improve the quality of seafarers, and continuously improve the technology of giant steel ships.

After we have accumulated enough foundation, we will try to sail south, cross the Green Sea of ​​Death to find the west coast of the Great Earth Continent, and open up a new route. "

Liu Xinyu listened and nodded slowly. But in the next moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao looked at him with burning eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?"

"Zhang Hao, do you think we should set up a navigation-related department?"

Zhang Hao's thoughts changed. The current navigation is all done by the Zhang family and the Dayang Group. In other words, even if Liu Xinyu really set up a navigation department, it would be useless.

It is impossible for Liu Xinyu not to see this, so what does she mean by saying this suddenly now?

Is it a temptation? Or is it a warning?

Looking at Liu Xinyu's extraordinarily bright, even radiant, slightly weird eyes, Zhang Hao had to say cautiously: "Your Majesty is right."

"So, do you have any suggestions?"

You are pushing your limits. Looking into Liu Xinyu's eyes, Zhang Hao said slowly: "I have an immature idea. That is to set up a marine trading market, and use it as the center to build a transportation network to the whole country.

A long time ago, I said that the future of Qixia Kingdom lies in the sea. Therefore, the next development should focus on the sea. "

"Really, since the sea is the most important thing, why did you suggest moving the capital to Jianwu County instead of... Ninghe County when the capital was moved?"

"The wealth of the Qixia Kingdom wants to be obtained from the sea. But the land of the Qixia Kingdom must be expanded inland!"

Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Liu Xinyu's eyes became brighter. "Sounds good. But how do we expand our territory? Earlier you said that we should not take the initiative to expand our territory, we need to cultivate credibility. Now you say that we need to expand our territory inland.

I don't understand! "

"This is not contradictory. Your Majesty thinks that if we are strong enough, will the surrounding countries be honest? The answer is certain-no! They will be greedy.

We don't take the initiative to attack, but we can fish!

And the reason why we don't take the initiative to attack now is because the country of Qixia doesn't have enough power to unify the west!

I hope that one day in the future, our emperor will be able to move to the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Jinyang, which is the most suitable place for the six western countries of Fertility Continent! "

After Liu Xinyu heard this, the light in her eyes suddenly faded. She looked at Zhang Hao carefully, "Zhang Hao, tell me, have you ever used fishing methods on me?"

"..." Your words are ambiguous!

"Okay, you don't need to say it, I understand! Now think about it, your fishing line Zhang Hao is really long enough. When we first met, you told me that the future of Qixia Kingdom lies in the sea. Not bad, That was true, and it seems true now.

However, your Zhang family is also expanding rapidly during this process. Today, the fief has eight towns, almost the size of a county. A big ocean group gathered almost half of the country's small and medium-sized families.

Do you... need to explain? "

Zhang Hao didn't rush: "Your Majesty wants to develop the ocean, not just one family and one locality can do it. It needs to invest the power of half the country, or even the whole country.

If possible, I also hope that the Zhang family can monopolize all the benefits, instead of setting up some Dayang Group and promoting some patent policies.

Your Majesty, after all, I am a disciple of Xuanzhen Sect. If, I mean if, the Zhang family doesn't care about the war in the Qixia Kingdom at all, and can develop their own affairs with peace of mind. His Highness said, the Zhang family has developed silently for a hundred years, do they have the ability to open up the sea road by themselves? "

The suspicion in Liu Xinyu's eyes gradually disappeared. That's right, Zhang Hao is a disciple of Xuanzhen Sect after all, even if Qixia Kingdom falls, the Zhang family will be fine. With the ability of a cultivator, Zhang Hao will be at his peak a hundred years later. At that time, the Zhang family is fully capable of opening up sea passages on its own.

In contrast, the Zhang family's actions now are quite 'angry' - they feel very impatient in doing things. Not a little mature.

Thinking of this, Liu Xinyu had no choice but to ask again.

Zhang Hao looked around and found that everyone's ears were pricked up. Zhang Hao said slowly: "The Zhang family was born in the country of Qixia. This is my motherland and my root. If possible, I hope my The foundation of the motherland is evergreen and immortal!

I hope that one day, the entire country of Qixia can stand on the pinnacle of the world. I hope that one day the land of Qixia country can be ruled by the land of sunrise in the east, the end of the sea in the west, the North Sea in the north, and Cangwu in the south.

Such a dream cannot be achieved by a family. This requires the power of a country.

Of course, if the Zhang family can grow simultaneously during this process, I will be satisfied. "

Liu Xinyu was also shocked by Zhang Hao's imagination. Her eyes moved slowly on the nautical chart, and her eyes gradually became firmer. "If there are enough giant steel ships, we... can definitely do it!"

"It will be done!" Zhang Hao's tone became firm. Because, what Zhang Hao thinks about is the starry sky above his head, the sea... It's just the first step. Compared with the sea, I yearn for the bright sea of ​​stars!

Liu Xinyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly sat on the phoenix chair, looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone heard what I discussed with Zhang Hao just now.

Everyone said, is it necessary to set up a navigation department, set up a special trading market, and formulate special laws? "

Zhao Duo immediately said, "Your Majesty, I think a prime minister should be appointed to be responsible for ocean affairs. According to the discussion just now, the ocean affairs in the future will affect half of the national destiny."

Everyone said that a management agency for the ocean should be established.

Liu Xinyu pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, can I trust you?"

"I believe His Majesty already has the answer in his heart!"

"Ha..." Liu Xinyu smiled slightly, and his face quickly became serious: "I have decided. The Ministry of Ocean Development will be established, and Zhang Hao will be the Minister of Ocean Development, with full responsibility. It is comparable to the Deputy Prime Minister.

Zhang Hao, you resigned from the post of Minister of Industry and Commerce and began to be responsible for all issues related to marine development. Includes navigation, technology, law, business, and more. But it needs to accept the supervision of other relevant departments. Laws, for example, need to be supervised by the Ministry of Justice. "

"Yes." Zhang Hao replied.

Everyone was in an uproar, this is the real 'deputy prime minister with full power', except for the word 'deputy' in his name, he has more power than the prime minister. This is absolute trust.

Liu Xinyu continued: "Reassign Liu Guang, the former head of Royal Commercial Bank and Yunying Commercial Bank, to serve as Minister of Industry and Commerce."

The new country of Qixia is constantly improving, developing and flourishing.

As soon as the arrangement here was completed, Zhang Hao received news again, and Bai Ye, who also went to the east, also returned. And it really brought a master of the transformation stage! It is the early stage of becoming a god.

"Invite the God Transformation Period? What are you doing?" Liu Xinyu looked at Zhang Hao with a little wariness in his eyes.

Wu Fanghai said: "Your Majesty, I know about this matter. This matter was delayed more than 50 days ago. At that time, in the northern battlefield, the coalition forces of the industrial and commercial class led by Dugu Junjie ambushed 128 Nascent Soul stage masters from the Kingdom of Jinyang , achieved a great victory.

But just as he was preparing to take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out the northern army of the Jinyang Kingdom, the God Transformation Stage of the Jinyang Kingdom appeared.

Later, Dugu Junjie, Zhang Hao and others discussed and went to the country of Shaoze to hire a god-transformer to fight. There are quite a few high-level mercenaries in the country of Shaoze, among them are those who have transformed themselves into gods.

Unexpectedly, it took more than 50 days to go this time. And we ended the war in more than fifty days. "

Liu Xinyu was also a little dazed for a moment, such a complicated relationship...

But after all, it was the stage of transforming spirits, so Liu Xinyu went to visit in person. Zhang Hao also followed. The invitation to become a god this time was in the name of Dayang Group.

When Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu saw this God Transformation Stage, the Spirit Transformation Stage was floating in the air, silently watching the ruins of Guangling City ahead.

This person looked to be in his thirties, dressed in simple and strong attire, and looked like he had just retired from the battlefield and was ready to go to the battlefield at any time. Moreover, there is a long sword hanging from his waist like a general, instead of being empty-handed and flying swords in his body like ordinary cultivators.

Liu Xinyu stepped forward to pay her respects generously.

Facing Liu Xinyu, this master simply nodded and flew in front of Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, only Bai Ye next to him was smiling. This white and fat guy smiled sinisterly, showing the essence of a treacherous minister.

Zhang Hao stared blankly. This person has a firm face, but it seems to be engraved with sorrow and sorrow.

The God Transformation Stage came to Zhang Hao, and said lightly, "You are Zhang Hao, right?"

"Ah... yes!"

"My name is Chen Yansong, and I used to be the head of the Dugu family's bodyguard. Is my young master here with you?"

Lying down a big grass! Zhang Hao turned his head to see Bai Ye's smirking expression, and his heart exploded, as if he had been hit head-on by a bomb.

The Zhang family can be called 'Master Dugu', isn't it the Dugu Junjie!

The family guard turned out to be in the stage of transforming into a god!

(Related to Dugu Junjie's identity, see Chapter 190)
