The whale's monstrous body was so terrifying that the fleet was put on high alert.

Stony Brook didn't dare to give the order to attack, he didn't know the consequences of provoking such a terrible monster.

The whales didn't seem to be interested in the strange objects floating on the surface, and the whales swam forward slowly, and sometimes some of the whales would jump out of the water, as if to warn the strange creatures on the surface.

The crew was stunned by the unheard-of sight in front of them, and for a moment they even forgot their fear.

Gradually, the whales disappeared from the fleet's sight.

After a long time, everyone came back to their senses and excitedly discussed everything that had just happened.

The experience of these few days is too unbelievable for everyone, and the vast sea is like coming to another world.

It is completely different from the living environment on land, in addition to the fear it brings to everyone, it is more of an excitement.

Stony Brook is like this, he firmly believes that he can lead the fleet to sea at the moment, it is really the right choice he has made in his life.

Such a mysterious and vast sea, if you don't crisscross it in this life, you will really live in vain.

What fame and fortune seem so ridiculous in front of this sea.

Excited, he shouted at the vast sea.

The sailors were stunned for a moment, and then they also drank high, expressing their excitement at this time.

The whales were gone, and the fleet was heading north again.

Lingzhou City.

Heifu had married at the beginning of the year, and his wife had recently become pregnant.

This was made possible by his reassignment.

Since the railroad was built, the militia company to which he belonged had new accusations.

It is to maintain the safety of the railway perimeter, and the daily task is to patrol the railway line.

If someone is found to have vandalized the railway, what they do is to arrest the criminals.

This kind of duty is similar to that of the railway police in later generations, except that they have a larger scope of responsibility than the railway police, and their attribution is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

In wartime, they still have armor to fight the enemy.

And Heifu's men are all veterans who have come down from the battlefield, although they are slightly inferior to the regular army in strength, but they are more than enough to deal with some thieves.

Heifu's class is only responsible for inspecting places within a radius of dozens of miles in Lingzhou, so every few days, he has the opportunity to live in his new home in Lingzhou.

It's just that in his heart, there is one more thing that can't let him go.

The ashes of his former comrades-in-arms have not been returned to their relatives, and this matter has pressed on his heart, and he has become a demon-like existence, even if he will soon become a father, but he is still not happy.

Heifu's home in Lingzhou City has been demolished and rebuilt, from the original small thatched house to the current cabin.

In July, the fruit trees that were raised by one man in the courtyard had already borne green fruit.

A large lady with a single coat feeds the chickens and ducks in the fence with a dustpan.

The door of the courtyard was pushed open, and when the woman returned with her husband, she laid down the dustpan and came up to her.

"Husband has worked hard."

Heifu took off the armor on his body again, and generally blamed him in distress: "Madame is pregnant now, she should have a good life and cultivation, and her husband's income is enough for our family's expenses." ”

Madame took the armor and put it on the shelf beside her, and said leisurely: "I also want to save more money for our family, and I am not very tired of cleaning the yard, washing clothes and feeding the poultry." ”

Heifu said: "It's enough for our family to eat and drink, and we have to save so much money." ”

The lady said angrily: "What did the husband say, how the concubine didn't know what the husband was thinking, the way to return the ashes of those brothers was a long way, and the cost of this journey must be quite a lot, besides, the husband's life was also saved by them, we can't do anything for them, we can only bring some money to the brother's relatives." ”

Hearing this, Heifu's heart warmed, and he sighed and said, "Hey! I blamed Madame. ”

Mrs. stroked the hanging hair, and said leisurely: "It's weird to say that it's very wrong, how does the drama say, well, by the way, husband and wife have to get along with each other, since you and I are married, we are one, the husband is depressed in his heart, and how can the concubine be at ease in her body and mind." ”

Heifu said: "Why are the gods so favored by me, it is the honor of Heifu's life to be able to marry a woman like Mrs. in this life." ”

The woman's face turned red and she spat and said, "That's what I'll say." ”

"Madam, I have thought about it, after the child is born, I want to take leave from the army, if I don't do it at this time, I will not be able to feel at ease for the rest of my life."

The woman nodded and said, "Well, go ahead, don't worry about me, my father often comes here, and now that the railway has been built, there are more shops in Lingzhou City, and it is much more convenient to buy some things, I will take care of it at home, and my husband will go with peace of mind." ”

Heifu sat next to the woman, touched her round belly, and muttered, "Madame has worked hard for you." ”

The woman leaned on Heifu's shoulder and said: "As long as we live well in the future, I will be satisfied in this life, Daddy said, we were born in a good time, you serve the court well in the army, the better the court, the better our life will be." ”

Heifu smiled and said: "Madame, don't worry, we know it in our hearts, and we will take you to Chang'an City in the future, I heard that it is much bigger than Lingzhou." ”

In the small courtyard, the husband and wife were thinking about their future, and they didn't know what interesting things they were talking about, and from time to time the woman's giggling laughter could be heard.

And in the city of Chang'an, another major event happened in the imperial court.

An organization with a name newspaper sponsored by the imperial court was established in Chang'an City.

This department, which was subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, issued its first newspaper, and the intellectuals in Chang'an City fell into a high C en masse.

Compared to the rest of Qi country, Chang'an City has the highest literacy rate in the country.

Although the content of the newspaper only informed the public of some recent policies of the imperial court, this measure gave ordinary people the opportunity to participate in the politics of the imperial court.

can know what the imperial court is doing and why it is implementing this policy, for a while, in Chang'an City, even the low-level people who can't read big characters can talk about political affairs for a long time.

Yang Hao did this in order to open up the way of speech, although it is difficult for the people's opinions to influence the decisions of the imperial court, but this can accelerate the opening of the people's wisdom.

The policy of fooling the people was scoffed at by him, and the people knew politics, which could make him love the country even more, and only by loving a country would he care about every decision made by the imperial court, and he would be angry or cheer for a certain system.

It's just that the frequency of newspaper publishing is not fast, and it often takes half a month to issue an expensive newspaper, so slowly in Chang'an City, a new profession has also appeared, newspaper readers.

These newspaper readers are generally spontaneously acted by middle school students in some universities, and these young people are also the most enthusiastic about politics.
