Chapter 598 Returning

One soldier shouted loudly, and nearly ten thousand people around the gate of the "Xinle Spring City" and within a radius of one hundred feet heard it. Facing this sudden change, everyone was stunned. And Sima Xuan, who was standing on the city wall, was stunned and stunned.

At this moment, the soldiers below suddenly reacted and started to go crazy:

"Prime Minister please ascend the throne!"

"Lord Sima, the state of Jin has already decayed, and it is hopeless to continue to rule the state of Jin. Now, the state of Jin has even begun to default on the payment of the army.

Master Sima, we only believe in you! "

"Yes, Master Sima, we only believe in you. In recent years, you have saved the Jin Kingdom from the brink of extinction several times. But you have put in so much effort, but you are being eaten by corrupt officials, aristocratic families, and some corpses." deprived of them."

"Master Sima, this is what Jin State owes you, and it's already overdue. Now that's the case, why don't you stand on your own!"

"That's right, Master Sima, now you are the only one who can make decisions for the people in the whole country."

Shouting sounds one after another...

With a leader, the entire Jin army began to boil. The state of Jin has been established for thousands of years, and the upper class is deeply rooted, which has long made the people dissatisfied. Now when it erupts, the crowd is outraged.

Gradually, almost all the soldiers yelled: Please the prime minister ascend the throne!

Sima Xuan gradually came to his senses, but his face was serious. What should I do?

With so many soldiers nominating him, this is definitely a scene that any ambitious person would like to see, but this kind of scene makes Sima Xuan feel a little bit stuck and in a dilemma.

enthroned? Sima Xuan never thought about it.

But what about rejection? Tens of thousands of soldiers pleaded for their lives, and they risked their heads! If you don't ascend the throne, what awaits these soldiers is definitely not a bright future. Maybe a few days later, they will be sent to the front line to fight for their lives, and then they will never return.

And after so many soldiers begged for orders, Sima Xuan was also cornered and had no choice. Sima Xuan is not an idiot, he can imagine the result.

If he doesn't ascend the throne, after returning to the state of Jin, there will be only one result--high meritorious service, shocking the master, and killing everyone!

And before that, the emperor's various actions had already made Sima Xuan feel a sense of danger. The emperor seems to be planning something!

Sima Xuan was struggling, and seeing the crowd below became more and more excited, some officers had already voluntarily knelt under the city wall to welcome the prime minister to the throne.

Under the attention of everyone, Sima Xuan suddenly thought of Li Xian and Shang Kingdom, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a solution that had no choice but to have the best of both worlds:

"Everyone, thank you for your kindness. Please forgive Sima Xuan for not being able to accept the enthronement. But I think I can follow the example of the Shang Kingdom and establish a Sima Kingdom. We respect the Jin Kingdom, but the Sima Kingdom is completely self-controlled."

"good!"

"Aw..."

Cheers, endless cheers. As long as Sima Xuan 'controls Yuan country', that's enough. It doesn't matter whether Sima Xuan is the emperor or the prince. It's just a matter of name.

At the same time that Sima Xuan made his decision, one person emerged from the crowd, "I believe that the king should be named 'King Jin' and the imperial capital should be named 'Xinquancheng'."

Sima Xuan agreed immediately. Now that things have come this far, there is no turning back. "My king, today I will take the title of 'King of Jin' and use 'Xinquancheng' as the capital of the country.

The name of the country is 'Sima Kingdom'.

Now, first inform the Sima Kingdom to appease the local people, and order officials and generals from all over the country, especially the border generals.

In addition, people were sent to various places to seal up granaries and temporarily control food and wealth.

As for the laws and systems of the Sima Kingdom, we will take the example of the Shang Kingdom and build a brand new kingdom! "

"Long live!"

The soldiers cheered. The system of the Shang Kingdom made the traditional emperors feel vigilant, but made the common people and the society yearn for it. Now that there is hope for my side to take over the Kingdom of Fashang, everyone immediately cheered.

Soon Sima Xuan selected talents from the army and temporarily set up the administrative system of the 'Sima Kingdom'. And constantly dispatched masters and others to gather around the original officials and generals of Yuan State.

The actions were so fast and almost no difficulties were encountered. The decadent, cowardly and corrupt Yuan State just became history. The emperor was blown to death on the bed, it was a joke.

At noon, Sima Xuan looked to the north, to the Jin Kingdom thousands of miles away. The biggest trouble was yet to come!

…………

Time, always slipping away inadvertently. When Sima Xuan was looking to the north, Zhang Quan finally accepted the "gift" from Princess Ning Xiaolan. Ning Xiaolan presented her personal maid Ning Fangfang to Zhang Quan.

"There are many etiquettes that require intimate communication." Ning Xiaolan used this saying to send Ning Fangfang to Zhang Quan.

But let alone, as Princess Ning Xiaolan's personal maid, Ning Fangfang is definitely not a vulgar fan, maybe not as good as Princess Ning Xiaolan, but in Yingzhou, she is definitely a beautiful woman. It's just that in the past, she had been following Ning Xiaolan's side and dressed as a maid, which made her look a little pale.

Today, Ning Fangfang's dress was completely new, making Zhang Quan's eyes straight. Therefore, after a few excuses, Zhang Quan "smiled and accepted" the gift.

What's more, giving a personal maid as a gift is actually a hint-my maid is your maid! This is the most obvious hint.

Zhang Quan was naturally happy, and along the way, he and Ning Xiaolan became more and more intimate.

Giving a maid as a gift is actually not only a kind of etiquette, but also a means of "inspection". If the princess wants to marry, she must first "test" whether the future husband is qualified, such as any hidden illnesses, small problems that are inconvenient to talk about...you know. Anyway, the personal maid has this responsibility, just inspect the goods for the princess.

Therefore, it is very meaningful to present a personal maid as a gift.

Therefore, it goes without saying that Zhang Quan is happy.

Of course Zhang Yuan was also happy to see this kind of scene. However, Xiang Bowen, who has experienced countless turmoil, has his pupils flickering, as if he is thinking about the problems inside.

…………

At the same noon, Chang Lin held a grand welcome ceremony on the deck of the warship at the seaside of Longya Empire.

Ahead, on Longya Island, there was a 'young man', surrounded by countless people, slowly flying towards this side. This young man is the head teacher of the Yunxiao Sect, Master Xuanfeng, a master of Dongxu Stage.

Last night, Master Xuanfeng sent his greeting card through Longya Island, and said that he would come to visit Chang Lin and the Shang Kingdom's fleet at noon today.

Now, Master Xuanfeng came as promised. The scene is not very grand, there are only a few disciples around Master Xuanfeng; the rest are people from the Dragon Tooth Empire.

Surrounded by everyone, Master Xuanfeng landed on the bow of the ship and walked onto the red carpet.

"Welcome." Chang Lin went up to greet him.

"This is a warship? It's very powerful! No country in Haozhou has the ability to manufacture such a powerful giant ship." Master Xuanfeng is very good at talking, and he directly praised him, making the people on the warship and the Shang Kingdom feel proud.

Chang Lin smiled all over his face, "Senior, it's just some small skills. This warship looks powerful, but it doesn't have much use for the practice itself."

Master Xuanfeng has his own opinion, "Why is it useless? If you can protect one side's peace, it will be a reward for your practice. The old man is very curious about this warship.

I don't know, is it difficult to make such a warship? What is the cost? "

Chang Lin smiled proudly: "Whether it is difficult or not and how much it costs depends on the country's industrial capabilities. But with the current industrial capabilities of the Shang Kingdom, we can only say that it is a little difficult to manufacture such a warship. As for the cost, such a A complete warship costs 100 million taels of gold.

However, Haozhou and Yingzhou have different units of measurement. If calculated according to Haozhou's most popular unit of measurement, it would cost ninety-six million taels of gold. "

"Hiss..." Even Master Xuanfeng was a little dumbfounded when he heard the cost of the warship - he thought it would be very expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive!

Master Xuanfeng secretly estimated: excluding other wealth, only gold and silver currency income, the net income of Yunxiao Sect last year was only 200 million taels of gold!

Buying such a warship, plus supporting weapons, soldiers, etc., 200 million taels of gold may not be enough!

Chang Lin was secretly happy-in fact, I was talking about the price. As for the cost price, there is no way to say this. Shang Kingdom has not made it public, and Chang Lin is not very clear about it. But looking at the warships of the Kingdom of Shang one after another, I am afraid that the cost price is not particularly high.

After a short exchange between the two parties, Master Xuanfeng suddenly asked: "Commander Chang, I wonder if the old master can go to the Kingdom of Shang with the fleet, and even pay a visit to the virtuous king?"

"Welcome." Chang Lin was overjoyed. If it is really possible to invite the head teacher of Yunxiao Sect, one of the four major sects in Haozhou, to visit the Kingdom of Shang, this is definitely a great event, a great joy, and also a great achievement of a different kind!

After a few days of busy work, the Yunxiao Sect also sent many things to Shang Kingdom, including books, elixir seeds, some grain crops unique to Haozhou, some 'potatoes', 'sweet potatoes', Weird crops like corn were loaded onto ships.

In addition, in the past wars between the Dragon Tooth Empire and the Canglan Empire and the Yaozu Empire, the Yaozu materials, demon pills, blood essence, etc. harvested were also sent to the ships in batches, so that the cargo warehouses and storage spaces of the ships All full.

‘It feels like earning more? ’ Xiao Zihou looked at the account book in his hand, thoughtfully. After doing the calculations over and over again, Xiao Zihou finally grinned, "Not counting crop seeds and elixir seeds, but just various materials, etc., the profit has been nearly fifty times.

The seeds of crops and the seeds of elixir are probably more valuable.

Not to mention, there is also a Dragon Tooth Empire as a younger brother. Earn a fortune! Ha ha……"

After sorting out, the fleet finally returned.

The returning fleet consisted of only one 30,000-ton Admiral, one 10,000-ton Intrepid, and five large commercial ships. The rest stayed.

Some of the ships were donated to the Dragon Tooth Empire, and two ships were reserved for the people left by the Shang Kingdom. Because a considerable number of soldiers and merchants from the Shang Kingdom stayed behind to help the Dragon Tooth Empire grow stronger.

In addition, the leaders of the Dragon Tooth Empire... they should be regarded as leaders, most of them also resolutely decided to visit the Shang Kingdom. However, it might be more appropriate to say study.

On Longya Island, countless people came to see him off. In any case, it was the Shang Kingdom's fleet that brought hope to the desperate.

(It’s the end of the year, I wish you all a happy New Year’s Day.

There is still the end of the month, and the monthly pass is about to expire. Hurry up and hit me. )
