Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Li Can paused a little in his heart, "I don't know what the king wants to know?"

Gao Yuan pulled out a chart from his side, stretched out his hand and pushed it in front of Li Can, "You come and take a look at this chart, I think your family should also have this kind of chart, right?"

After taking the chart handed over by Gao Yuan, just by glancing at it, Li Can raised his head in confusion, looking at Gao Yuan's eyes full of shock and puzzlement.

"Your Majesty, this picture?" He asked, stammering a little.

"Tell me where your fleet has arrived?" Gao Yuan asked: "Do you think that this map is much larger than the one you treasure at home, and you have never heard of it in many places?"

"Exactly!" Li Can's expression was a little excited, and he pointed to a few places on the map and said: "My Li family's fleet mainly trades in these directions, where it has not yet been civilized, although the natives are ferocious, but they have countless treasures and spices, etc., we mainly ship out silk, porcelain and other things, although the risk is greater, but as long as it is successful, it will be enough for several years."

Looking at the places Li Can pointed to, Gao Yuan nodded slightly, that is to say, Li Can's fleet had only reached Southeast Asia at the farthest.

"I know a place called Fuso." Gao Yuan pointed to a narrow island on the map and said with a smile: "There are no other specialties on this small island, but there is a lot of one thing, silver, and these islands have many high-quality silver mines."

Li Can's eyes suddenly lit up, "Silver mine?"

"Yes, Silver Mine." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I wonder if Li Yizheng's fleet is interested in developing here?"

Li Can's heart moved, but then he frowned again: "Your Majesty, every time my Li family's fleet sails overseas, it will bear great risks, if you are unlucky, sometimes there will be no return, the king said that there is a silver mine in Fusang, that is an endless source of wealth, but the problem is that if you want to develop a silver mine, you must go ashore, with the current strength of my Li family, it is really not enough!"

"That's why I'm looking for you." Gao Yuan smiled: "You have a fleet, you have sailors who sail on the ocean, and I have an army in my hands, we will form an expeditionary army, with commodities in one hand and steel knives in the other. If we are willing to do business honestly, we will exchange with them, and if they have bad intentions, then we will wield a knife and beat them to do business with us honestly."

Hearing Gao Yuan say this, Li Can couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly, "The king's intention is exactly what I want, in the past, my Li family's strength was insufficient, and in those places, I had to befriend the local chiefs, endure their exploitation, and just want to go home safely, but now with the king's support, it will be very different."

Jiang Jiaquan frowned on the side and reminded: "Your Majesty, we don't have any extra troops at hand now, and this kind of labor expedition has no logistical support, and once it is released, it is tantamount to resigning to fate."

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Jiang Yizheng, do you think that kind of place still needs thousands of troops?" It only takes a few hundred elite sons and daughters, and they are fully armed, it is enough to sweep away those natives, Li Yizheng, to those places, to fight and pull together, and support the local people to obey our regime, I don't think it's a difficult thing?"

"The king is right, those places, often dozens of miles and hundreds of miles claim to be a country, it is really ridiculous, they themselves fight to the death all day long, as long as there are hundreds of heavily armed elites, coupled with our warships, it is indeed not difficult to sweep these places." Li Can nodded again and again.

"That's it. The Li family is preparing for the voyage, and the matter of sending troops, after you go down, discuss with Ye Chong, try to select those soldiers who grew up on the seaside, and in addition, on the ship, you must install weapons such as arm crossbows, divine crossbows, and stone cannons." Gao Yuandao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"No thanks, when the harvest comes, I will ask for eighty percent!" Gao Yuan smiled Mimi authentically.

"This chart alone is worth a full eighty!" Li Can raised the chart in his hand, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I can ...... this chart."

"Since I took it out, it's naturally yours." Gao Yuan waved his hand.

Carefully folded the chart, took out a sweat towel to wrap it, and stuffed it into his arms with a precious and heavy place, "Your Majesty, there is something I don't ask about it, I really feel uncomfortable, as far as I know, Your Majesty, you have never been to the beach, where did you get this chart?"

Gao Yuan scratched his head, and said in his heart, can you believe some things, thought about it, and said: "Oh, that's the case, one night I had a dream, in the dream a white-bearded old man told me about these places, the next morning I got up and looked, there was actually this map lying on the table, I thought it was drawn in a dream, I don't know if it's true or not, so I took it out for you to see, since it's true, then you might as well explore it further away."

Gao Yuan's nonsense, several people in the room are looking at each other, everyone is a scholar, the son is silent and the force is weird, Gao Yuan is also too mysterious, but the king is the king, even if it is nonsense, everyone is not easy to say, probably the king has something unspeakable that he is unwilling to confide in public, and no one will ask.

"The king is really a person favored by God, and I don't know how many lives he has paid for my Li family's chart, but the king has the guidance of a god without much effort, which makes people unconvinced!" Li Can praised a few words with a clear conscience.

Gao Yuan laughed, and no longer mentioned this paragraph, but turned the topic to the domestic people's livelihood.

In Jiyuan County, the county commander Li Weimin walked on the country road with more than a dozen guards, and the official robe on his body had long lost its original color, and it was covered by mud yellow, and even his head and face were covered with yellow mud. Two days ago, a rain made them suffer, the road in Jiyuan County is not like Li Weimin's hometown Jishi County, where the rain is seen, but it is muddy, and after the rain is a sunny day, they can suffer a lot.

This is already the tenth day of his inspection in the countryside, and the dozen or so guards behind him are not ordinary servants, but a guard team composed of veterans drawn from the regular army by Ye Zhen, Jiyuan County is a newly acquired land after all, and the policies implemented by the imperial court here have violated the interests of many people, and some even offended the other party cleanly, leaving only you dead and alive, and these people turned out to be quite powerful, and the Han State naturally did not want to appoint officials by themselves, and their buttocks were cut off before they were hot. Even if the murderer is caught afterwards, what will it do? Prevention is better than prevention, a county commander like Li Weimin is accompanied by a group of veterans who crawled out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses.

In fact, the worries of the Han court are not unreasonable, Li Weimin went to the countryside for more than ten days, and encountered three assassinations, but in the eyes of these veterans, the assassins are not only unprofessional, but also very clumsy, in their hands, they are completely like a little lamb, the largest number of people is just a landlord who has been deprived of all the land organized dozens of people to pretend to be mountain bandits to attack and assassinate Li Weimin, but the team of dozens of people in front of these dozen guards, it is not enough to see at all, first kill with long-range weapons, Then left two people to protect Li Weimin, the rest of the people rushed up three times five divided by two, the battle was over, the bold landlord became a prisoner, the next thing is naturally logical, the landlord was just taken away from the land, his other properties are still there, but he attacked the court officials, he was not only beheaded, the family property was confiscated, all the family members were tied up with a rope, sent to the Liaodong Peninsula to fill the border.

The thunderous move of the Han State in Jiyuan County completely detained the little caution of some people who were about to move, and since that time, Li Weimin has not encountered a single attack.

Spring ploughing is imminent, these officials appointed by the Han State naturally know their mission, and they will never dare to slack off, Li Weimin has already gone through most of the county, and he is ready to go all the places under his jurisdiction, and must ensure that all the fields will not be deserted.

In a field on the side of the road, several people were wielding hoes to loosen the soil, and when Li Weimin got closer, he saw that there were only two gray-haired old men and women, a younger woman, and two other seven or eight-year-old boys, who were also wielding wooden sticks to hammer the larger dirt.

"Old man!" Li Weimin went down to the field and beckoned.

Although Li Weimin's official uniform has lost its color, just looking at Li Weimin's bearing, and the group of men with knives following behind him, he naturally knows that he is not an ordinary person, so he quickly lost his hoe and was about to kneel down as soon as his knees were bent.

"I've seen a big official!"

Li Weimin grabbed the old man, "Don't be polite, old man, why don't you have strong labor, just you old and weak women and children?"

The old man let out a long sigh: "This big official, don't mention it, didn't there be a war in the first two years, and the eldest in the family was conscripted to be a soldier. Left behind a daughter-in-law and two underage dolls, and originally had a son, but later the Qin people occupied this place, and the youngest son was also taken away as a people's husband.

Li Weimin sighed, the war, the last victim is always the lowest class of people, "How much land did the family divide this time?"

At the mention of the ground, the old man's originally sad face suddenly became excited, and the layers of folds were opened with a smile at this moment, "This time I heard that it was the Eastern Army that defeated the Qin people, and now we are in charge of the Eastern Army, and a county order from the Eastern Army came to divide the land for us, this big official, the little old man has planted the land for a lifetime, but before that, it was planted for others, and the family was tired and tired, and they could only survive, if they encountered a disaster year, it would be miserable, now it is different, my family of five people, Fifteen acres of land were divided, and the government issued a deed, and the land was mine. The old man is over fifty today, be careful, he can live another ten years, then these two boys will grow up, and this place will have to wait for a good life, and then the two boys will rely on him."

Li Weimin nodded slightly: "Fifteen acres of land, can you plant it all just by relying on you?"

"Of course it has to be planted!" The old man puffed out his chest, "Don't look at my gray hair, but I still have a lot of strength!" If this land is not planted well, there will be no harvest after autumn, and we have no money to buy land at that time, but if we signed a contract with the government, we will have to pay a bucket of grain for one acre of land at that time!"

"Do you think you can pay it?"

"At first glance, this big official is not a farmer, just a bucket, how can an acre of land produce a stone of grain, if it is served well, it is also possible to turn it over." The old farmer smiled: "The current government is really good, but I don't know if they will stay for a long time?"

"Why can't you stay for a long time, if you think it's good, you will naturally stay for a long time!" Li Weimin said with a smile.

"Of course we think it's good to conquer the Eastern Army!" The old farmer is heartily authentic.

"Now they are no longer called the Eastern Army, now they are called the Great Han Kingdom, and these policies are all formulated by the king of the Great Han Kingdom." Li Weimin said with a smile.

"Great Han Kingdom, the old man knows, this great official, we are now the people of the Great Han Kingdom, right?" The old man asked.

"It should ...... Sort of!" Li Weimin was a little unsure, some time ago, the notice about the lease of these areas by the Great Han State had reached his yamen, and the officials appointed by the Great Liang would soon arrive in Jiyuan.

"That's good, we're afraid that we will change the government and take back the land allocated to us!" The old man breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can rest assured." Li Weimin smiled. R1152
