On the one hand, because he made a lot of money, on the other hand, through this platform, it also allowed countless middle- and lower-class people to understand his works and enjoy all kinds of entertainment content he provided. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Moreover, according to the audience of Deyun Club in Yugang Village, which has been tracked for nearly eight months, Zhou Ming concluded that in areas with a large population and a more developed economy, a Deyun Club can have an impact among 5-100,000 people.

In economically underdeveloped areas, the influence that Deyun Club can have is not so great, and it is very good to be able to influence 3-50,000 people.

And in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom, there are definitely 100 economically developed and densely populated areas, so, according to the minimum estimate, 100 Deyun Clubs will affect 3 million people and bring about 5 million achievement points, and then in terms of money, make up the other half, get an A-level or above evaluation, and clear the copy, the problem should not be big.

As for the Zihua Bookstore, which has embarked on the upper-class route, it is quite good to have one million achievement points, and Zhou Mingke has never pinned his hopes on the heads of an absolute few upper-class people.

……

In the twenty-third year of the Heavenly Sage, at the beginning of October.

Tianjia Shipyard, there is another good news.

It took six months to complete the design, two months to carry out model tests, and finally took one year to build the "Haiyu II" fishing boat, which was used by the Ocean Fishing Company for fishing operations, and finally successfully launched, becoming the first 2,000-material large ship under the Ocean Fishing Company, which is of great significance.

Zhou Ming's marine strategy has taken another big step forward!

There are of course several reasons why the "Haiyu II" was developed so quickly, a few months earlier than Zhou Ming expected two years.

One, Zhou Ming personally participated in the design of the "Sea Fishing Type II", with his brain far beyond the calculation ability of ordinary people, only the ship type design, the Sea Fishing Type II fishing boat, saved several months of time.

Second, Zhou Ming asked people to take a lot of money to Jeju, Yangzhou and other seaside cities with shipyards, and dug up a large number of skilled shipbuilders to speed up the construction.

Three, with the completion of the shipyard's supporting timber air-drying room, the wood that originally needed to be naturally air-dried for two years can be dried in only three months in the air-drying room, plus the shipyard workers, with the help of various precision [industrial machine tools], the shipbuilding efficiency has also been greatly improved, and the ship construction cycle has been greatly shortened.

After completing a month-long sea trial, on November 16, Zhou Ming took a group of more than 20 students who were not prone to seasickness to board the fishing boat with a length of more than 30 meters, a width of 5 meters, an unladen displacement of 220 tons, and a full load of more than 500 tons.

In November, the best fishing season has passed, Zhou Ming took these classmates out to sea, not to fish, but to go out for a walk, blow the sea breeze, and see the endless sea.

A day later, more than 300 miles east of Haiping County was open to the sea.

Standing on the bow of the boat, a sea area called "Whale Sea" by fishermen appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The reason why this sea area is called "Whale Sea" is because Zhou Ming saw in the [World Map] that the bottom of this whale sea is composed of two nearly intersecting ridges and a bottomless volcanic trench, because of the interception of the two ridges, the surface of the sea water has changed due to the flow direction of the ocean currents generated by wind and waves, land coastline guidance and planetary autobiography, and a large number of nutrient-rich sea water in the middle layer has surfaced to the surface of the seawater.

The bottomless volcanic trench, because of the perennial active eruptions of active volcanoes, has sent countless nutrient-rich seawater deep to the surface of the ocean.

Under the action of the three currents at the same time, this sea area, the surface of the seawater, grows countless tiny seaweeds, tiny seaweeds, feeding countless fish and shrimp, countless fish and shrimp, feeding tens of millions of big fish, and making this sea area of more than 300,000 square kilometers active with nearly 100 species and tens of thousands of whales.

These whales stand at the top of the ecological chain in this sea area.

"Wawoo~"

A voice like a doll's cry came.

"Poof~!"

Not far away, on the surface of the sea, a column of water with a height of more than ten meters, erupted like a fountain, lasting for many rounds, and after each round lasted for tens of seconds, the giant whale, which had been ventilated and may be more than 30 meters long, swung its tail like a broom and burrowed into the deep sea.

"As the old saying goes, there are fish in the east, its name is whale, the whale is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles, and it turns into a bird, and the wings of a bird don't know how many thousands of miles it is...... The big whale in front of me is not as good as the legendary whale, but it is enough to frighten people and make people frightened. ”

Holding on to the railing, Lu Wencai shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, this whale is about the size of the boat we are in, and if it suddenly goes crazy and attacks us, we will definitely stop. One of them said in fear.

"Don't be afraid, this young master, on this ship, there are twelve whale hunting crossbows, and the seven-foot fine iron crossbow arrows used with thick arms are coated with poison, and the giant whale, as long as it hits six shots in a row, it will definitely die. The words of a whaler on the boat made everyone relax a little.

"Brother Qingxiao, you say, do we and other family members have some similarities in common with the whales in this sea?"

At this time, Zhou Ming, who was standing in the center of the bow of the boat, hunting in the sea breeze, did not move at all, and suddenly asked Yao Qing beside him with a smile.

Yao Qingxiao was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What is Brother Zihua's opinion?"

"If we compare the ship we are riding on to the imperial court, these big whales in the sea can be regarded as the great families of various families, these whales seem to be huge and terrifying, but once they are targeted by the imperial court, they will be like the whales killed by this fishing boat, it takes a lot of effort, but the reward is extremely rich...... The income earned by my Tian family's whaling team from whaling every year must have been heard of by Brother Qingxiao......"

Zhou Ming's words made everyone around him prick up their ears and listen attentively.

"Brother Zihua refers to the 'after the abolition of the performance' that happened in the imperial capital of Zhongzhou in July this year?" Yao Qingxiao immediately understood the meaning of Zhou Ming's words.

The so-called 'after the abolition of the performance' incident, from August last year, after His Majesty the Ming Emperor Li Zhi was ill, often dizzy, and unable to handle government affairs, Wu Mei, the queen of heaven who was originally known as one of the "two saints" and ruled the world with the emperor, began to sit on the curtain to listen to the government, take sole control of the government, and constantly suppress dissidents, promote cronies, although the overall government is quite stable, but many civil and military ministers in the court, and Shangguan Yi, the prime minister of the head of the hundred officials, have long been extremely dissatisfied with Wu Mei's various practices.

So, in July this year, after the prime minister Shangguan Yi and a group of civil and military officials contacted privately, he came to the sickbed of Emperor Li Zhi of the Ming Dynasty, typed some small reports of Empress Wu Mei, and drafted an edict of abolition after obtaining the emperor's consent.

This edict was supposed to be promulgated on the next day's court meeting, but because of a headache, the emperor did not participate in the court meeting the next day...... Soon, hundreds of civil and military officials and Prime Minister Shangguan Yi who participated in the "After the Abolition of the Performance" were all imprisoned.

This incident has little to do with Qingzhou, which is thousands of miles away, but the Yuwen family, one of the eight major families in Qingzhou, has a family member who served as a member of the three grades in the court, and was also involved in this incident, and was implicated, the Yuwen family was surrounded by 50,000 Qingzhou troops for three days, and finally more than 3,000 people of the Yuwen family died under the sword.

The Yuwen family was tragically wiped out, and other families in Qingzhou were shocked and frightened, and they couldn't help but feel sad about things hurting their kind and rabbits and foxes.

Even Zhou Ming felt that this kind of system of raiding the family and exterminating the clan at every turn and killing the whole clan was too cruel and inhumane, which made people extremely uneasy, for fear that if they were not careful, they would also invite this kind of extermination.

Therefore, this seemingly warm and intoxicating prosperous era on the surface, in its bones, is still a feudal dynasty era where one person is high and ten thousand people bow down to the courtiers, the supreme ruler kills all the offended, there is no room for negotiation and compromise, and the affairs of the world are all his family's affairs, and they are all judged by his words.

It's pretty scary.

Zhou Ming sighed: "It is not easy for us to stand for a thousand years, it is the noble royal family, and it is only three or five hundred years at most...... Moreover, no matter the prosperous and troubled times, our family, no matter what we do, have the worry of the decline of the family, just like the Yuwen family, isn't it also like this whale in the sea, being cut and slaughtered? ”

Posterior?

"I don't know what Brother Zihua means?"

Yao Qingxiao's expression became serious, and Brother Zihua in front of him seemed to want to say something of great significance to the family.

"Do you see the sea?"

Zhou Ming raised his chin, pointed to a piece of sea in the east, and said:

"Brother Qingxiao, maybe you don't know that two thousand miles to the east of this sea, there are overseas islands, and there are tens of thousands of these islands, the largest of which is as big as the land of Banzhou of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the medium and large ones are as big as a county, and there are thousands of them, and there are islands as big as a small county, and the number is too large to count...... If we wait for the family to occupy those islands, one island after another, one country at a time, and each family is separated by the ocean, and communicate with each other by sea, and do not subordinate to each other, do not submit to each other, and govern that island together, will we and other families still have the worries of the dead clan?"

"Brother Zihua said, but Penglai Immortal Island?!"

Yao Qingxiao's eyes widened and he looked at him with a look of surprise.
