Zao Wou-Ki was very angry, and in a short period of time, he had already dropped several cups in a row, pacing around the room like a sleepy beast, and his eyes were round and frighteningly red, as if he was about to choose someone to devour.

Zao Wou-Ki has no reason not to be angry, as the lord of a country in Zhao State, he humbly came to Jicheng and bowed his head to Gao Yuan, an upstart, yes, in Zao Wou-Ki's heart, Gao Yuan is an upstart. In his heart, even if the Zhao Kingdom is now in trouble and has declined, shouldn't Gao Yuan give him the etiquette that a king deserves?

Sent a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, threw himself in the post house like this, and then ran away in a hurry, this naked humiliation made Zao Wou-Ki almost want to flick his sleeves and leave Jicheng.

Just when Zao Wou-Ki was getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, Zhou Changshou hurried in.

"Your Majesty, I have inquired!" Zhou Changshou said: "The people I sent out are back, and today there happens to be an expeditionary team coming back from the Han Kingdom, and this team has been on the expedition for two years."

"Two years on the march? Where did they go?" Zao Wou-Ki was stunned, he never thought that Gao Yuan would actually send an expeditionary team under the condition that he had been fighting non-stop for all these years.

"Overseas!" Zhou Changshou's face was solemn, "The Great Han Kingdom sent an expeditionary team of thousands of people, sailing out to sea with hundreds of ships, this is more than two years, and they just returned to Jicheng today, they returned with a great victory, bringing countless trophies, among which there are dozens of large monsters that we have not seen alone."

Zhao Wuji sat down slowly, the anger on his face had dissipated a lot in the blink of an eye, "Longevity, you have friendships with many generals in the Han army, you go and inquire again, when will the King of Han see me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty understands!" Zhou Changshou bowed, walked a few steps, and stopped, "Your Majesty, Da Zhao is in a bad situation now, and Da Zhao is still ......"

"Go ahead, I understand." Zao Wou-Ki sighed and waved his hand to signal Zhou Changshou to leave. I hope to see King Han as much as possible, now that you and I have both left Handan, Yang Shu and Meng Guang's previous positions were too low, and I am worried that they will not be able to suppress the scene."

"Don't worry, I'll go find a way right away!" Zhou Changshou nodded again and again.

And just when Zhao Wuji, the king of Zhao, was angry, entangled, worried, fearful and other feelings mixed together, unable to eat, and unable to sleep peacefully, Kou Shuguang was sitting upright in the diligent government hall where Gao Yuan was reading official documents, reporting to Gao Yuan and several councilors about some things that were not suitable for being said at the court meeting.

At the court meeting, Kou Shuguang presented all the things on the face, such as dozens of taels of gold and silver in the carriage, which was worth millions of taels of silver, and almost turned over the Hubu Shangshu on the spot, Gao Yuan estimated that Wang Wuyan was hot-blooded and red-faced, and his blood pressure soared to at least two hundred, but in this era, everyone definitely didn't know what blood pressure was.

In addition to the silver, those animals that are not available in the Central Plains, and then the places that have been fought along the way, some so-called national letters of submission from kings, but for these, Gao Yuan is disdainful, the kind of national letters sent by guys who occupy a small island or even have several kings on an island, it really has little value, he can't beat you, he shows his surrender to you, as soon as you leave, he does his own thing, capricious, but it should not be taken seriously.

However, many officials in the court care about this very much, even Jiang Jiaquan is smiling.

After the face work is done, the dynasty will disperse, and Kou Shuguang came to this diligent palace where Gao Yuan usually works, which is what Gao Yuan really values.

"How many people have you killed along the way?" Looking at Kou Shuguang, who had a lot of iron-blooded aura on his body, Gao Yuan asked. Kou Shuguang used to be the general of the Supervision Yuan, because he had a certain attainment in the water division, he was sent to Zhou Yuan's hometown in Fenzhou at first, and then formed the water division and became the first commander of the water division.

Kou Shuguang smiled, "In the past, Li Yizheng was mainly engaged in business, and sometimes he had to be bullied by them, but this time we went, not only to do business, but also to conquer, so at the beginning, I began to set them up, we first docked with real merchant ships, when those natives thought that they were bullying us like in previous years, warships would appear, land, and then iron and blood." He looked up and thought for a moment, "It's not too many, there are always 100,000 people!"

As soon as he said this, several councilors gasped together, you know, Kou Shuguang only took a total of 3,000 people out, and in the past two years, they have killed more than 100,000 people, on average, isn't it that everyone who goes to sea has dozens of lives in their hands.

"Ah Quan, he ......" Li Can on the side asked with a little stammer. When Li Quan was at home, he was just a scholar.

Kou Shuguang laughed, "Li Quan was a little uncomfortable at first, but as we went farther and farther, the casualties of the troops became larger and larger, and he had to carry a knife into battle, after killing the enemy for the first time, he lay on the ship for three whole days, vomiting in the dark, but it was good to get through, and then he was afraid that he would kill more people than me."

The muscles on Li Can's face twitched, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

"A little more!" Gao Yuan exhaled a breath of turbidity, "On those island countries, there should not be many people, wouldn't some of them let you be wiped out?"

"There are a few exterminators, and those are mainly those who resist to the end and refuse to surrender, or cause us heavy casualties, in fact, the biggest casualties are not in the island countries along the way, but in the end we found the Fusang that the king said. The place of Fusang is larger, and the population is more dense, as the king said, this place is rich in gold and silver, and at first we still wanted to trade normally, but the people here are very cunning and cruel, and they want to attack our idea, then we are not welcome, I only left a few hundred men to guard the ship, and took two thousand soldiers and some servants who were subdued along the way ashore, and where we fought with them for more than a year."

"Knock them all down?" Jiang Jiaquan asked.

"How is that possible?" Kou Shuguang said with a smile: "We are only two or three thousand people, but we have subdued all the people in the south of Fusang, and then we have helped some puppets to come to power and confront the north, it is precisely because of this that we have delayed too much time and made the king worried."

"What you do in Fusang is more correct, there are more people on this island, and they have their own traditions and culture, if you want to kill you can't kill them inexhaustibly, support a group, fight a group, let them in internal friction, and gradually consume their strength, this is a big strategy, you go back and discuss it with the Supervision Yuan, this island, we must control it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinates will go to Dean Cao when they turn around." Kou Shuguang nodded.

"By the way, did you find the kind of tree I asked you to seek?" Takato asked.

"Found the kind of rubber tree that the king said, we have this kind of tree on an island, and the natives of this island cut the bark and then took the sap of this tree, and after turning it over, this sap became a soft and tumbling skin-like thing, and it was very strong, and this time, we brought back a lot of this kind of skin, and also brought back the best craftsmen of the island who made this kind of thing."

"How many of these things did you bring back?" Takato asked.

"Because the king valued this thing so much, I loaded a whole boat, and this thing is not a rare thing with them." Kou Shuguang said with a smile.

"It's rare, look at where he's used!" Gao Yuan laughed and said, Rubber tree, if you find this thing, there are many places where it can be used, not to mention anything else, just the carriage of the Han Kingdom will go to a higher level than the driving speed. With the rapid development of the military industry of the Han Kingdom, new biological parts such as balls, tired shafts, flexion shafts, pulleys and other new biological parts are bringing the military industry of the Han Dynasty to a new stage, especially in transportation, the speed of the carriage has been repeatedly accelerated with the emergence of these things, the only deficiency is that the wheels, whether they are iron or wooden, are too easy to damage. Now that he has found the rubber, Gao Yuan can't help but look forward to the scene of a horse-drawn carriage with tires running on the gallop road.

"Your Majesty, I have inquired, and this kind of tree cannot be planted here because of the climate, so I broke the idea of bringing the plant back and transplanting it." Kou Shuguang explained.

"I know!" Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Are there many people planting this kind of tree over there?"

"Not much!" Kou Shuguang said: "We have found a lot of islands, and it is only on two or three small islands that we found this kind of tree."

"The next time you go, I'd like to plant more of this tree somewhere, and I think it won't be long before we have a horrible demand for this kind of thing. Remember that the natives will plant as much as they can, and we will buy as much as we can when the harvest comes, so that the people there will feel that it is profitable to plant this kind of tree, so as to attract more people to plant rubber trees."

"It's a win-win-win Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "When all the people over there plant this kind of tree, then they won't have more people to grow valuable food, and they won't produce those necessities of life, so where do these things come from?" Naturally, we shipped it over and sold it to them, and we paid for their rubber, but they eventually gave us back."

"Take your people and have a good time in Jicheng for a few days, and then let them have a long vacation, there is still a lot of time before the next voyage, let the brethren relax well, and the next time you go on an expedition, the ships will be doubled, and the army will be doubled. Dawn, the place you have reached is far from the end of the sea, and I hope you can go further." Gao Yuan stood up and patted Kou Shuguang on the shoulder. (To be continued......)
