The Great Yan Kingdom has a vast territory and a territory of thousands of miles.

And the Northern Liang Kingdom and the Dali Kingdom, the two countries are not to be outdone, and now the territory has long exceeded 10,000 miles.

Cao Bin and Zhe Yuqing, two extremely vicious people, have an endless greed for the territory.

When they were last year, the two felt that the prince could no longer meet their needs, and each set himself up as emperor.

Zhe Yuqing changed the name of the Northern Liang State to the Great Jin Dynasty and proclaimed himself the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Cao Bin changed the name of Dali to Dashu and proclaimed himself the emperor of Dashu.

Whether it is the newly built Dajin or the newly built Dashu, the territory it has has far exceeded that of the Great Yan Kingdom.

But the country's population has been stuck at 10 million.

If it weren't for Yang Qi covering his face and driving a group of Song relict ministers to serve in the two countries, I am afraid that the population of the two countries may not be able to reach 10 million.

That's it, the two of them don't seem to be satisfied.

In order to meet their needs for conquest, they each sent people to the Great Yan Kingdom, and after learning the military service system of the Great Yan Kingdom, they returned to their home countries to implement the policy of all the people being soldiers.

Compared with Dajin and Dashu.

In the past five years, the territory of Yan has not changed much.

The population has quietly doubled.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, the registered population of Yan has exceeded the 100 million mark.

The fact that the population of Yan Kingdom was able to skyrocket to such a short period of time was inseparable from the decree implemented by Yang Qi.

Yang Qi not only encouraged the people to give birth with a reward system, but also spent a lot of money to implement the construction of medical centers throughout the Yan Kingdom, so as to increase the survival rate of newborns.

However.

Even so.

Yang Qi still felt that the population of Yan Country was a little sparse and a little insufficient.

One is that newborns are still growing.

The second is that there are too many people going to sea.

With the influx of wealth from overseas into Yan Kingdom, the first people to go to sea have become rich at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The people who were willing to break through looked hot and rushed to the sea.

According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 4 million Yan people floating to the sea.

This shows the horror of the tide of going to sea.

More than four million people poured into the ocean, which seems to be a huge number, but only a handful have actually formed a scale.

In the past five years, the largest team going to sea is still the one organized by Cao Lin's four women.

It was also with the wealth that the huge fleet kept sending back, and the four daughters of Cao Lin became the richest women in Yan Kingdom in a very short period of time.

Cao Lin topped the list of Yan Guo's richest people.

And after today, the wealth of the four daughters will increase exponentially.

Because they organized a large fleet to go to sea, the real main force, returned to China today.

Morning.

Cao Lin's four daughters pulled Yang Qi and appeared at the port city wharf.

In order to welcome the heroes back to China, the four daughters painstakingly prepared a grand welcome ceremony.

A warm sea breeze blows through.

With a hint of moisture.

Just as Yang Qi raised his hand to wipe off a crystal drop of water on his short beard, a white sail slowly appeared on the sea level.

Immediately afterward, I saw one white sail after another appear on the sea level.

They are connected in one piece, obscuring the entire surface of the sea.

For a moment, Yang Qi was in a trance.

He seems to have returned to the scene when the Yan Kingdom was first established, when he led the army out to sea to fish.

"Your Majesty...... The confinery's fleet ......"

Cao Lin exclaimed, dragging Yang Qi's sleeves.

Yang Qi slowly came back to his senses, looked at the huge fleet on the sea level, and said with a little surprise: "Looking at the scene, I'm afraid there are more than a thousand big ships, right?" ”

Cao Lin was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly: "The concubines heard Wang Yan say that when they were overseas, in order to facilitate the loading of goods, they built a lot of ships......

Yang Qi looked at the fleet that faintly broke through the eight thousand mark on the sea, and said with a wry smile: "There are indeed a lot of ......."

Glancing back at the soldiers of the Yan Army who were full of guns and cannons behind him, Yang Qi glanced at Cao Lin, and said, "No wonder you asked me to transfer the new Divine Machine Army and the New Artillery Army."

This large fleet of nearly 8,000 ships, the 30,000 or 20,000 people in Huanggu, I'm afraid that they can't control it, and they must have requisitioned a lot of local barbarians, right? ”

Cao Lin lowered her head with a dodgy gaze and said, "Concubine...... The concubines don't know much either......"

Yang Qi shook her head with a smile, looking at Cao Lin's appearance, it would be strange if she didn't know.

However, Yang Qi did not chase after the root cause.

With his current status and strength, he doesn't care about this point carefully.

As long as they don't harm the Yan people, who cares if they harm others?

The huge fleet slowly sailed into the port city dock amid the sound of the mountain and the tsunami.

Just a quarter of an hour.

The port city wharf that Cao Lin's four daughters deliberately emptied was stuffed to the brim.

"Soraku~"

Without waiting for Yang Qi to give orders, Cao Lin took the lead in instructing the musicians to blow a cheerful repertoire.

Docked in the middle of the pier, on the flagship headed by Huang Gu and his party, they wept when they heard the familiar local sound.

Dressed in exotic costumes and carrying slashed blades, they galloped off the flagship and pounced on the shore.

On other big ships, those black and white slaves who were busy barefoot with only one big pants were obviously a little confused when they saw this scene.

They watched as the demonic man in the land where they once lived quickly disembarked.

Then, in their stunned gaze, the Great Demon fell to one knee in the most humble manner in front of a man dressed in black.

"Humble Huanggu, do not disgrace Your Majesty's mission, lead the crowd back, please Your Majesty to inspect."

Huang Gu led the rest of the people and knelt down on one knee in front of Yang Qi.

Running around the sea all year round, these people have not only not been whitewashed by the sea, but have become a lot darker.

Even though they had changed into clean and tidy clothes when they entered the port, it was still difficult to hide the fierce aura on their bodies.

Cao Lin had the heart to pull up Huang Gu and wanted to ask him how the harvest was.

But Yang Qi didn't speak, and everyone could only watch.

After all, he is the real master.

Yang Qi waved his hand unhappily and sadly, "Get up......"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Huang Gu and his party got up, Yang Qi's gaze also swept around the fleet and retracted his gaze.

"Quite a few people brought back?"

"If you return to Your Majesty, the lowly people dare not forget Your Majesty's teachings, and brought back a lot of grass and trees, because of the huge number, they had to requisition a large number of barbarians from the local area."

Yang Qi nodded slowly, and said calmly: "You have a tired journey, I have ordered someone to prepare hot water and dry clothes for you, and I am waiting for you in the palace." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty......"

Yang Qi stopped talking, and he left the port city dock under the escort of the imperial guards.

After Yang Qi left the Gangcheng Wharf, the Gangcheng Wharf not only did not go cold, but became more lively.

With Yang Qi here, his identity determines that everyone on the dock does not dare to celebrate presumptuously.

Without him, the people on the dock would have no restraint and pressure.

Although the wealth overseas is amazing, and the harvest of Huang Gu and his entourage is amazing, there are not many people who really know how valuable the plants and trees they carry are.

Yang Qi welcomed them off the ship with the respect of an emperor, which was already enough to give them face.

If you stay any longer, it will be a bit of an overabundance.

Comparatively.

Cao Lin's four daughters didn't have so many worries.

For those who have helped them earn enough gold, silver, and jewelry, they are not stingy with praise and rewards.

After several pleasantries.

Cao Lin's four daughters pulled Huang Gu to count the harvest.

Huang Gu had prepared for this in advance, and they had already made a list.

Except for the few boatloads of grass and tree seeds that Yang Qi cared about, the rest were handed over to Cao Lin.

Cao Lin was not polite, she took her men and quickly took over the fleet.

A large ship with a full load of ships, under the watchful eyes of everyone, began to unload.

Boxes of jewelry, jade, gold, silver, and other items were carried off the ship.

The people were red-eyed as they watched as these astonishing riches floated past their eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that the people who possessed this wealth were too big, they might have rushed up and plundered them.

Huang Gu and his entourage did not have much nostalgia for the cargo on the ship.

After ordering a group of men to stay behind and restrain the white and black slaves, they hurried into the port city.

After washing up and changing into new clothes, one by one, under the leadership of Huang Gu, they went to the palace in the port city.

Inside the lavish palace.

Tables of sumptuous and authentic dishes have already been prepared, and wine has been delivered to the banquet one by one.

Yang Qizheng sat in the middle of the matter, and after accepting the worship of Huang Gu and his party again, he said softly: "You have worked tirelessly, traveled overseas, and after five years, you have finally returned.

The goods, plants and trees you sent back have benefited the people of Yan Country a lot.

It also allowed the people of Yan to follow in your footsteps and understand the world little by little.

I am very relieved.

When it comes to merit, your merit is no less than that of the one who seeks it.

I will not be stingy with your rewards.

After returning to Beijing, I will issue a decree to reward you for your meritorious deeds, and announce them to the world, so that the people can remember your merits. ”

As he spoke, Yang Qi raised his wine glass, and Gao Sheng said, "Everyone, drink!" ”

Huang Gu and his entourage held wine glasses and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty......"

After thanking them, they raised their glasses and drank them all.

However, they didn't seem to have much joy at the reward Yang Qi mentioned.

Yang Qi saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and he didn't say it on the spot.

As the leader of the voyage to the sea, Huang Gu naturally had a place in front of Yang Qi.

After Yang Qi raised his glass again, he put down his glass, glanced at Huang Gu, and asked, "Tell me about your experience in the past five years......

In an almost primitive way, a trip around the world was completed.

The things that Huang Gu and the others have gone through are naturally very rich.

Huang Gu carefully talked about the fact that they set sail from the port city wharf five years ago.

They went down the coast of Yan Country to the southwest, and along the way they passed through countless storms, tides, and storms, and set foot on one strange land after another.

In the Mauryan Dynasty, the birthplace of Buddhism, they helped the monks to fight hard under the suppression of the Brahmins.

They wrestled with warriors in big trousers in the Holy Roman Empire, and they were also bathed in the papal grace, which gave him a taste of what is called a ritual from the East.

In a blazing land, they taught the wild people who grinded their teeth and sucked blood to cultivate the fields.

……

In the past five years, they have been to many places and many things.

In Huang Gu's narration, they are like messengers of justice, disseminators of civilization, spreading the gospel all over the world.

When Huang Gu finished speaking, he was still proud.

It wasn't until Yang Qi's strange gaze fell on him that he lowered his head weakly.

Yang Qi glanced at Huang Gu and said unhappily: "There are no outsiders here, and there are still hidden with me." You are all the ones I picked out to sail, and I still don't know your details.

In your group, one counts as one, and the other is good? Is that the kind of living bodhisattva who likes to help others?

Tell me the truth. ”

Huang Gu hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The lowly officials killed all the way, robbed all the way, robbed everything that could be robbed, and all the things that could not be robbed were wasted." ”

The truth is straightforward.

The corners of Yang Qi's mouth twitched and glared at Huang Gu.

Huang Gu said humbly: "The lowly people are also trying to help a few ladies snatch more wealth......

Yang Qi was reluctant to delve further into this issue, he was worried that Huang Gu would say something that would make him furious.

For example, 'Your Majesty, after we left the Yan Kingdom, we took pleasure in killing people......

Yang Qi estimated that he would jump up and drive them out.

When he let this group of killers go out, Yang Qi didn't think that this group of people would be saints after they went out.

When they were in Yan Kingdom, they were the arrogant appearance of Yang Qi's boss and their second elde.

Out of the Yan Kingdom, they are the boss.

With advanced weapons and equipment, as well as rich combat experience far beyond the barbarians, they are heaven wherever they go.

They are the masters.

Murderous scruples are all light, and these second-class goods don't know what they have done to lack morality.

Yang Qi took a deep breath, and after trying to calm himself, he said lightly: "I don't care what you did outside Yan, after returning to Yanguo, I hope you can be more restrained and don't be arrogant." ”

"Don't dare to ...... in a lowly position"

Yang Qi didn't want to talk to them about the process of making a fortune anymore, so he began to talk about the route and the map.

It turns out.

After a thousand years, not only will there be great deviations in the inheritance of civilization, but also in the landform.

The world map drawn by Yang Qi with his memory, after being verified by Huang Gu and his party, there are many deviations.

Huang Gu specially ordered someone to record these deviations, organize them into a book, and send them to Yang Qi.

He even ordered someone to rush to make a huge new map of the world.

And it is also equipped with a complete annotation book that tells the cultural customs and geomorphological characteristics of various places.

Yang Qi got these three things, like a treasure.

In Yang Qi's eyes, the value of these three things far exceeded the value of the gold and silver treasures that Cao Lin liked.

When Yang Qi couldn't hide his joy and flipped through the new map.

Huang Gu and his party, who were sitting under him, frequently made eye contact.

Half an hour later, Huang Gu, with the support of the others, slowly got up, walked in front of Yang Qi, and fell to his knees with a pop.

"He is guilty of lowly duties, and I beg His Majesty to punish him."
