The history of human development is sometimes very wonderful, and it is really unpredictable, it is possible that there has been no change for tens of thousands of years, people have lived a life of seeking caves and dwelling, hunting animals and eating, or it is possible that in just one or two hundred years, it has suddenly become a high-tech society with satellites hanging high, airplanes traveling all over the sky, and cars running all over the streets.

Whether this change is inevitable or accidental, I am afraid no one can say clearly. So Yang Yi doesn't feel that he is too anxious, there are many things that he wants to complete that cannot be done overnight, and maybe when you wake up, you have been trampled under the feet of others.

Yang Yi had recently met a missionary from the far West in the kingdom of Da Yue, and from that missionary, Yang Yi learned that conflicts between religion and scholars had begun in the West, and the conflict seemed to be intensifying.

This shocked Yang Yi incomparably, many places in the ancient West were religious countries, and the power of religion was strong and unshakable, and similarly, the sense of oppression it caused to some advanced ideas would be unprecedentedly strong.

People are very strange creatures, the more oppressive, the more they want to break out of the barrier, in a very popular phrase, "you don't want me to do anything, Lao Tzu will do it, and I have to do it with all my life." ”

In the history of Yang Yi's previous life, the great Renaissance era was born under this circumstance, which pushed human civilization forward a big step.

From the Renaissance to the Age of Discovery, and then to the Industrial Revolution that truly changed the nature of human civilization, the pace of progress in a short period of two or three hundred years far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Some people once said that the reason why China failed to catch up with this most critical stage of human development was because of the arrogance and self-containment of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, but in Yang Yi's view, this does not seem to be an accident, and it is explained by a very simple reason: Lao Tzu lived for dozens of years before he grew a body of muscles, who would have thought that others would become a burly man in only two or three years? Whoever encounters it can only be confused.

Therefore, Yang Yi, as a traveler from modern society, must not let Daguang fall behind, otherwise even if he has laid a great cause, he still can't avoid being spurned by future generations.

What's more, Yang Yi is only gradual now, and the manpower and material resources invested will not affect his own development, it is good to be able to discover new things, but if he can't find himself, he will find another way. Therefore, Lu Yuanliang and other cadres, although they were surprised by Yang Yi's inexplicable behavior, did not stop him, a dignified Shu king, sent out an exploration team of five hundred people, even if they found nothing, it was harmless.

However, there are also people who strongly support Yang Yi, that is, the caravans in Shuzhong led by Su Jiaxiufang, who almost bear most of the costs of Yang Yi's research and development of large ships and the expansion of routes.

Not to mention the factors of the Su family, Su Fan, who has become the new head of the family, no matter what Yang Yi does now, how much money it costs, even if it is a loss-making transaction, he will not hesitate to stand on the side of his nephew. The other trading houses in Shuzhong tasted the sweetness in the war of Yang Yi's southern expedition to the Great Yue Kingdom, and each of them made a lot of money, and Yang Yi also promised them that as long as the situation allowed, the caravan could follow behind the army in the future, on the one hand, these merchants could make enough profits, and on the other hand, it could also indirectly ensure that the route opened up by the army was unimpeded.

But any businessman with some family business will not be a fool, and sometimes they are more far-sighted than politicians and soldiers, so after Yang Yi put forward the idea of exploring new routes, these businessmen did not hesitate to express their full support, whether Yang Yi simply wants to open up commercial routes, or plans to use soldiers again, they have a large enough profit temptation.

A month later, everything was arranged, and Yang Yi set off from the Great Yue Kingdom to return to Shuzhong, and at this time, countless people in Shu were looking forward to him.

Yang Yi refused the request of Sugree and Shuzhong merchants to come and see him off, and the only people who stayed in the Dayue Kingdom were Liu Wenzheng, Yue Jing and a few young officials promoted by Yang Yixin.

"Your Highness, you can rest assured here, everything is watched by me and General Yue, there will be no problem." Liu Wenzheng smiled with a smile.

Yang Yi nodded, thought about it and then advised: "Lao Liu, you try not to show up here, just leave anything to Zero Zero Seven and them to do, if Su Gree dares to make any changes, don't risk your life, ensure safety first." ”

Liu Wenzheng arched his hand and said: "My subordinates know that I will inform His Highness as soon as there is anything in the Dayue Kingdom." ”

Yang Yi turned his head to look at Yue Jing, and said: "General Yue Jing, the safety of Lao Liu and our officials and businessmen in Shuzhong will be handed over to you. ”

Yue Jing nodded with a smile and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the 10,000 Shu soldiers left behind are the elite of the elite, and if the people of Dayue dare to make any rash moves, I will make them bleed." ”

"In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the fleeing Sukha, according to Doubao's news, he has now fled to the neighboring kingdom of Da Yue, the kingdom of Makchi, and seems to be raising troops to fight back, although it is unlikely to succeed, but it is best to take strict precautions, and don't let it take advantage of the loophole."

"The last will know!" Yue Jing nodded and replied seriously.

Yang Yi turned to look at the two young people standing behind Liu Wenzheng and Yue Jing, one of them was called Lu Xiang and the other was Xu Zhengchong, they were the two more outstanding talents in Shuzhong who stood out in the general examination a year ago.

Seeing Yang Yi looking at him, the two young men hurriedly bowed and saluted, listening to Yang Yi's words.

Yang Yi helped the two of them up, patted them on the shoulder and said: "You two are outstanding talents among the younger generation in Shu, this time I sent you to the Great Yue Country not to abandon you, but to give you a heavier burden, you can see it as another test I have carried out on you, I hope you will not let me down, there will be a broader sky for you to soar in the future." ”

Lu Xiang and the others said excitedly: "Your Highness, rest assured, the students will live up to Your Highness's expectations and complete the tasks assigned by Your Highness." ”

Yang Yi nodded, looked at everyone again, then waved his hand, and said with a proud smile: "Okay, let's go back, there is nothing to give, when I come to Dayue again, we will make waves again." ”

"Your Highness, take care!" The crowd bowed down and bowed.

"Let's go!"

Yang Yi stepped on his mount, took nearly a thousand guards, and walked all the way back to the north...
