The main hall of the council floated in the air, surrounded by clouds and mist, and in the distance, it was impossible to see the ground farther away, but when you looked into the distance, you didn't know where the end was.

The sea of clouds in the distance rolls, and the sun's rays shine down from a higher place, putting a golden coat on the sea of clouds, making the distance seem mysterious and sacred.

The floor of the main hall disappeared, and a layer of transparent ground appeared under everyone's feet, like a thin layer of invisible glass supporting the people and things in the hall, making everyone seem to be standing on the clouds in the air, and occasionally birds could be seen passing by under their feet.

In fact, the main hall at this time is not very high from the ground, just enough to have a panoramic view of the entire territory of the Great Shang, of course, this also requires your eyesight to be good enough.

Looking from the top of the main hall, the big merchant is like a five-clawed dragon lying on the head, Shangqiu is the place where the dragon head is located, and the rest of the area is scattered around Shangqiu in a circle, and you can clearly see the branch area like the claw of the dragon stretching into the distance, and under each paw is a small country. From here, it seems as if these small countries can be annexed by big merchants at any time.

Nan Ziyang waved the dust, the surrounding sea of clouds dispersed, and the scene below the main hall appeared in the sight of everyone in the main hall.

Rao is Mu Yi and Chu Xu were already mentally prepared, but they still stumbled and almost fell down in shock, not to mention the others.

Those Wenchen military generals, one by one, opened their mouths wide, some pulled their shirts, some pulled their beards, and some slapped the people around them, and waited until the other party responded, making sure that this was not a dream, and the people around them were real comrades, and then slapped themselves again.

They looked at the ground below, then at the emperor who was still sitting firmly on the dragon chair, and then at Mu Yi and the three of them, their faces were nervous, their legs trembled, and they were afraid that Nan Ziyang would throw themselves down if they were unhappy.

"Don't be afraid, there is no difference between us at this time and when we are on the ground, Poor Dao is just taking you to visit the great rivers and mountains of your great merchants. Nan Ziyang said with a smile, ignoring the reactions of the ministers and palace people.

When everyone heard this, they relied on their courage and looked down.

At first, he cautiously poked his head out and glanced at it secretly, and then he became more and more relieved, and began to look around, but he still didn't dare to move half a step, for fear that he would accidentally make a mistake, and then he would fall into the sea of clouds and disappear.

After a stick of incense time to get used to, everyone relaxed, and began to point and talk loudly with the people around them.

Gao Zhan's heart was even more excited, but as the lord of a country, no matter when and where, he must have a kind of calmness that Mount Tai collapses on the top and his face does not change, even if a miracle has happened now.

At the same time, he was also very satisfied with Nan Ziyang's hand, at least now no one is talking to it about the great weapon of the country, the continuation of the ceremony and other boring things, and no one is pointing at his nose and scolding the faint king.

He looked at the people below, even the bachelor who had just spoken righteously in the main hall, although his eyes were closed at this time, he still couldn't hold back the excitement and curiosity after a while, and quickly started talking to the people around him.

"Look, this is the Imperial City, and I've never seen the entire Imperial City clearly..."

"Yes, yes, it turns out that the imperial city is so magnificent, *, where the general trend of the world is, my big business will definitely rise..."Patting a good sycophant is the first criterion for being an official in the court, no matter what kind of situation you are in, you can be afraid of the sycophants so naturally, so smooth, it is enough to show that this person is well versed in the mysteries of officialdom.

"You see, Shangqiu is like a hovering dragon, and the imperial city is above the dragon's head..."

"The mountains and rivers are all under my feet. Raise your feet and invite the king, and be the town of the world. ”

......

......

Gao Zhan sat on the dragon chair, looking at the great rivers and mountains, and sighed with emotion. Listening to the pompous compliments below, he shook his head with a smile.

Nan Ziyang pondered for a moment, looking at the scene of the hall at this time, and stroked the dust with great satisfaction. Then he said to Gao Zhan: "Your Majesty, please move and come to the side of Poor Dao." ”

"What advice does the national teacher have?" Gao Zhan stood up, but did not move, and he was muttering in his heart, would he fall.

"It's okay, just stride. Nan Ziyang saw Gao Zhan's scruples, and said to him with a slight smile.

At this time, the civil ministers and military generals in the main hall all held their breath and looked at His Majesty the Emperor intently.

A military general and guard went to help, and Gao Zhan waved his hand, signaling that they didn't need it.

When Gao Zhan heard this, he no longer hesitated, and strode to Nan Ziyang's side.

Nan Ziyang waved the dust at this time, and a miniature version of the real map of Dashang appeared in the main hall, suspended in front of them.

There are mountains and rivers on the map, and you can see the walls and streets of the metropolis, and even the huge buildings can show their outlines.

The people behind saw it and were amazed.

"Your Majesty and the ministers of state think that how is the Great Shang in this Westerner Continent?"

"Among the surrounding neighboring countries, the great merchant country is strong, the territory is endless, the surrounding countries have surrendered, and there is a great momentum to unify the Westerners, if Your Majesty has a heart, the Westerners have already been unified..."

The surrounding ministers all echoed and agreed.

"The general and the ministers think so, but what about Your Majesty?"

Gao Zhan nodded with a smile, and then said to Nan Ziyang with a lot of courtesy: "The Taoist chief is smiling, his subordinates are not sensible, and he is talking too much." Although it is not possible to unify the Westerners, it is not impossible to dominate in the four directions of the Great Commerce. ”

"Then now the poor road allows everyone to see the Westerners that the poor road knows. After Nan Ziyang finished speaking, he waved the dust in his hand a few times, and finally the wooden sword behind his back flew out on its own, and flew a few times on the map in front of him, and then returned to Nan Ziyang's back.

At this time, the main hall of the council rose rapidly, and the map in the hall also expanded rapidly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, until it was half of the main hall filled.

Some officials were in the map, and when they saw the map attacking them, they dodged one after another, and finally stood in the map only the three brothers of Nanziyang and the Great Shang Emperor Gao Zhan.

Then Nan Ziyang smiled and said to Gao Zhan: "Your Majesty, look at this sketch, do you still know where the big merchant is this time?"

Gao Zhan looked down at the main hall, the ground was gone, and when he looked up, he was misty in the distance, and the gray sky was the main color.

Gao Zhan stared into the distance and found that there was nothing but a faint black line reaching the sky.

He looked down at the map in the main hall again, trying to find the area where the Great Shang was located, and found that there was not a single place on the map that he was familiar with. The ministers in the palace also followed suit, and they were also at a loss, frowning one after another, could it be that Nan Ziyang became a trick?

"Senior brother, where is the big businessman?" Mu Yi behind him couldn't resist his curiosity and took the lead in breaking the situation.

"Here. Nan Ziyang pointed to a square foot in the corner of the map with a whisk, and said to everyone in the main hall: "There is no doubt that among the Westerners I know, the place where the Great Shang is located is here, a small area in the east of the mainland. ”

"And the map I brought to you is only the Westman Continent that I can see. As far as I know, the Western Continent is far more than that, and I don't know how many times more magnificent than the maps you have seen, and I don't know how much more interesting it is. Don't you want to see such a world?"
