After a month of recuperation, Li Shimin was able to go down to the ground on crutches, and the injury was completely healed after three months, thanks to the injury medicine prepared by Sun Simiao, otherwise it would not necessarily be good for half a year with his injury.

In the original time and space, the world has been in turmoil this year, Yang Guang has been killed, Li Yuan also raised troops against the Sui for a year, Li Shimin has been exposed many times in the war against the Sui, but the current Great Sui is unprecedentedly powerful in the previous dynasties, and the surrounding countries have been destroyed, even the strong men are not as good as them, Li Shimin had no chance to show his talents before, but this time, it is equivalent to receiving a blow to the head.

After recovering from his injury, Li Shimin suddenly changed into a person, the previous Li Shimin was more than smart and not calm, but this beating made him mature suddenly, and even Li Yuan couldn't see what was going on in his son's head.

It is a few years later, at this time it is already 20 years of great cause, the four seas in the territory of the Great Sui are leveled, the people live in abundance, the Grand Canal connecting the north and south has already been completed, the emperor ordered the repair of the road, divided into the main national highway, the county road, the county road, which stipulates that the national highway, the county road must be paved with gravel, lime, yellow sand mixture, the national highway can accommodate eight carriages side by side, the county road can accommodate six carriages, and the county road needs to accommodate four carriages. Land and water routes spread like spider webs throughout the empire, forming a swift passage of communication between the imperial court.

Because of the use of millions of foreign captives, the court built canals and land routes in all directions, not only did not make the people feel burdened, but because of the huge demand for food in the court, the lives of ordinary people were getting better and better, and silk, cotton cloth and other high-end goods entered the homes of ordinary people.

All the ministers and the people believe that the Great Sui has entered an unprecedented prosperous era, even the achievements of the three emperors and five emperors are likely to be incomparable with the emperor, even if the three emperors and five emperors, how can they make all the people in the country have food and clothing, and the martial arts are extremely prosperous, and the surrounding countries are either destroyed, or subjugated to the empire and become vassal states.

There are not many vassal states in the court, most of them are countries on the southeast peninsula, and the court has not thought of directly bringing the entire southeast peninsula into the rule of the empire, but the weather on the southeast peninsula is hot. The forests are dense, and most of the elite soldiers of the Great Sui come from the north, and they are not suitable for fighting in this environment. The court only launched a tentative attack on Linyi, although it reached the capital of Linyi, but it was only because of mosquitoes and plagues that caused a large number of non-combat attrition. I had to give up and accept Linyi and other countries as vassal states.

In this year, the martyr's shrine presided over by the court was completed, which enshrined the names of tens of thousands of martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the surrounding foreign countries, from soldiers to generals, and the martyrs' shrine was built next to the emperor's ancestral temple, together with the emperor's ancestral temple. Sharing the annual sacrifice of the court, on the day of the completion of the Martyrs' Shrine, the emperor personally took the ministers to sacrifice to the Martyrs' Shrine. It also stipulates that this day of the year is the national sacrifice day. Later emperors will participate in the sacrifice of the martyrs' shrine on this day, in order to show that the court will never forget the warriors who died for the country.

In addition to the Martyrs' Shrine, in addition to the palace also built a Lingyan Pavilion, the Lingyan Pavilion hanging ground is naturally the Great Sui Dynasty since the establishment of the court meritorious military generals statue, which does not distinguish whether in the world or not, Emperor Wen period or the current courtiers, all to be evaluated, the most outstanding ministers. Twelve generals each. To make it famous through the ages, these twenty-four people are not the final number. In the future, if there are more people with merit than these twenty-four people, they can also increase the list of Lingyan Pavilion.

The generals are naturally headed by Yang Shuang, Wenchen is headed by Gao Ying, Li Delin, Han Baohu, He Ruobi, Su Wei, Yang Shangxi, Niu Hong, Wei Xiaokuan, Luo Yi, Shi Wansui, Mai Tiezhu, Lu Mulin, Li Gang, Yun Dingxing, Qu Tutong, Daxi Changru, Changsun Sheng, Yuan Zhou, Fang Yanqian and other 24 people are on the list.

Among the twenty-four people, only eleven people are alive, thirteen of them have passed away, and the courtiers of Emperor Wen's period, such as Gao Ying, Li Delin, Han Baohu, He Ruobi, Su Wei, Yang Shangxi, Niu Hong, Wei Xiaokuan and others are no longer there, which makes people sigh and sigh, but their families have received great honor from it, and the court has also re-rewarded them, which can be regarded as a blessing and descendants.

The completion of the Martyrs' Shrine and the Lingyan Pavilion has greatly inspired many young people to make meritorious contributions, older people like to live a peaceful life, but young people are not like this, they look forward to being like their ancestors, across the horse and whip, the battlefield is vertical and horizontal, just looking around, the Great Sui can no longer find a strong opponent around, so that they have a feeling of being born at the wrong time.

The country is rich and strong, the people are rich, the court is strong but there is no opponent, many ministers and the people think that the emperor wants to put the horse in Nanshan, Yanwu Xiuwen, since then the world is peaceful, Yang Yong released the map of the four seas of the world.

This map of the four seas of the world is naturally a simplified version of the world map, as soon as the map of the four seas of the world comes out, the whole country is boiling, the original world is so big, especially the incredible place that everyone did is on a round ball.

The earth is round, as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a discussion, that is, Zhang Heng's Hun Tian said, however, the Hun Tian theory is just a simple description of "the celestial body is round like a projectile, the earth is like a chicken in the yellow, living alone in the sky, the sky is big and the earth is small......"

As for what the earth is and how big it is, Zhang Heng didn't say it, and he didn't know how to say it, but the map of the four seas of the world released by the court explained in detail, where is the land and where is the ocean, although it is only an approximate range, and the vast majority of islands are not marked, which is shocking enough.

The Great Sui has already opened the Silk Road on land, and the capital is full of merchants from all countries in the Western Regions, and with the vigorous development of the navy in these years, the cargo throughput of the sea trade has been several times that of the land route, and there are merchants from Nanyang, India, Dashi and other countries along the coast, so the officials of the DPRK and China are not isolated from the outside world, although everyone is accustomed to the Central Plains as the center, but the Western Regions, the South Seas have a vast territory and many countries is an indisputable fact.

It's just that everyone has always regarded those places as wild places, and now when I see this map of the four seas of the world, I know that the world is far from what I imagined before, and the land occupied by the Great Sui is less than one percent of the ten, let alone the center of the world.

Although some people have a lot of doubts in their hearts, but no one dares to openly question the authenticity of the map of the four seas of the world, because the map of the four seas of the world was promulgated by the emperor himself, and the great merits of the emperor's administration over the years are enough for the vast majority of people not to doubt the courage of the emperor's words, not to mention that there is so much corroboration, how dare they doubt it.

The territory of China in the past dynasties was the most prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, and for more than a thousand years, despite the change of dynasties, it never exceeded the territory of the Tang Dynasty. He Ye, is it true that the Han people do not have the heart to pioneer, of course not. If the Han people did not have the pioneering heart, then there would not have been a Yellow River valley to start, expanding to the mountains in the west and the sea in the southeast. It is bordered by the desert in the north, and crisscrosses the land for thousands of miles.

What is it that prevents the continued expansion of the Chinese nation, some people say that it is geography, the Chinese nation has always been a traditional farming nation, the southeast is surrounded by the sea, the west is blocked by high mountains, only the north still has a vast land, but the northern plateau area is dry and rainless. It is not suitable for farming, even if it is occupied, it is useless for the court, not only can it not provide taxes for the court. On the contrary, it is not cost-effective to spend huge military expenses to send troops to station. Because of this, although the Tang Dynasty occupied a large area of territory in the north in the early period, it lost all of it in the middle period.

Due to the inability to expand, the power of the Han people can only be used in internal friction, repeating the cycle of dynasties for thousands of years, and they have forgotten that there is a broader world outside. As soon as the map of the four seas of the world came out, the blood of those young people who were lamenting that they were born at the wrong time boiled again. The world is so big. Even if they can't do it, even if they can't do it, there will always be a chance to win a wife and a son. What's more, according to the emperor's introduction on the map of the four seas of the world, whether it is the continent of Australia in the south or the American continent on the other side of the sea, there are only some natives on it, they have no country, and they don't even know how to practice iron tools, it is not easy to make a contribution, it is a land that is several times larger than the entire Central Plains combined.

Not only the young people are excited, but some old officials are also excited, the ups and downs of the dynasties, in the final analysis, it is due to the land, in the later period of the dynasty, due to the concentration of land, the peasants with little or no land often do not have enough to eat for a year, and become displaced people in a disaster year, shaking the rule of the dynasty.

At this time, news came from the navy that it had discovered that Australia was marked on the map of the four seas of the world, and the ships had advanced along the border of Australia for more than a month, but they still had not been able to find out the area of Australia.

The emperor has long stated that Australia is dry and rainless, and most of the middle area is covered by desert, which is not suitable for large-scale immigration, but despite this, it is completely feasible to immigrate millions of people, of course, now the court does not have the ability to migrate across the sea on such a large scale, but it is necessary to send people to develop in advance, in order to encourage the people of the Central Plains to go overseas, Yang Yong ordered the implementation of the feudal system and the homestead law.

The sub-feudal system is aimed at officials, all officials who have titles in this dynasty are willing to immigrate to Australia, not only the title is upgraded by one level, but also the actual seal, the prince can set aside 200,000 hectares of land as a fief, the founding prince can be sealed 50,000 hectares, the founding marquis can be sealed 20,000 hectares, the founding uncle is sealed 10,000 hectares, the founding son is sealed 5,000 hectares, the founding man is sealed 1,000 hectares, all officials above the ninth grade, if there is no title, only willing to go to Australia as an official, can be granted the identity of the founding man, and the homestead law is for ordinary people, Ordinary people can get a hundred hectares of land as long as they set foot in Australia, and the court promised that it would never be recovered.

There is a precedent of immigrating overseas, and in the face of such preferential treatment, there are really a lot of people who are excited, although the number is not large, only a few thousand people a year at the beginning, but this is enough, the British colonists who first landed in Australia are only a few hundred, and now the Great Sui landed on this island a thousand years in advance, it is conceivable that there is no more white people in Australia.

Compared with the drought and lack of rain in Australia, the situation of desert everywhere, the rich America is really desirable, the great cause of twenty-one years, just one year after the discovery of the Australian mainland, Qingzhou port is crowded, the people on the shore are desperately waving to the port, many women are choked up, and the four huge sea ships in the port are slowly anchoring, and the deck of the sea ship is also full of sailors, who are also desperately waving to the shore. These four sea ships are the largest ships ever built by mankind, each ship can carry 50,000 materials, equivalent to 2,700 tons, and can accommodate thousands of people at the same time to sail on the sea.

These four big ships are naturally going to the American continent to explore the ships, at this time each ship only carries three hundred people, the rest of the space is all used to store water, grain, all kinds of fruits, vegetable seeds, medicine, they are expected to take more than half a year to reach the destination, if you are lucky in the middle, you will meet a small island, if you are unlucky, you will not be able to land for more than half a year, and have been spent at sea.

The sailors on the ship are carefully selected, young men aged twenty-five to thirty years old, although they are well prepared, and everyone respects the emperor like a god, but whether they can reach the American continent that the emperor said, no one knows the bottom of their hearts, this voyage is equivalent to life and death, and their relatives will naturally come to see them off.

In the reluctant gaze of the relatives, four large ships set sail on time and sailed to the blank sea, these four large ships experienced all kinds of risks of sea navigation, and finally seven months later, three large ships arrived in the Americas, one of which was hit by a storm and sank, fortunately, most of the people were transferred in time, however, there were still dozens of people killed, plus people who died of illness at sea, 1,220 people at the time of departure, and finally only 1,093 people arrived safely.

Two years later, the three big ships returned, they brought back a variety of unique products on the land of the Americas, and also brought back the news of the incomparable richness there, the whole Great Sui caused a huge sensation, the emperor ordered, the original sub-feudal system and homestead law in Australia are also applicable to the Americas, and at the same time lifted the seclusion of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, directly set the fief of the king of Shu and the king of Jin on the American continent, and selected a prince as the commander of the entire American continent, and finally the three princes of Chu King Yang Yu invited himself to go.

An even larger fleet set sail in the twenty-fifth year of the Great Cause, consisting of hundreds of ships with tens of thousands of people on board, including craftsmen, langzhong, farmers, merchants, scholars, and all walks of life in the army, as well as three princes, one of whom was Yang Yu, the king of Chu, the third prince.
