This ocean-going fleet carried too many expectations of Ouyang Xuan, and carefully built three ironclad ships, the largest of which had a displacement of 10,000 tons, and the smallest of which had 8,000 tons. All ships had naval guns, rifles and other defensive weapons. The overall ship is equivalent to the ironclad ship at the end of the 19th century, which is the crystallization of nearly 20 years of scientific research led by Ouyang Xuan, using a double-compartment design, and propulsion using a high-power steam engine improved by craftsmen and students. For this voyage, Ouyang Xuanguang spent ten years training the crew. Now that they have returned safely, how can they not be excited. The commander of this ocean-going fleet is Ouyang Xuan's most important genius in scientific research, Zhang Lang, an orphan picked up by Nie Ping from the mass graves in Chang'an. At that time, he was only three years old, and he was already dying when he first picked it up, and he was lucky to survive after Ouyang Xuan's all-out rescue. After more than 10 years of systematic study, from the accumulation of basic physics, mathematics, chemistry and other aspects of knowledge, he has developed a lot of cross-era things, including vacuum tubes, transistors, semiconductor devices, etc., and the most important thing is that he actually used Ouyang Xuan's theory and knowledge that only existed in books to successfully manufacture zinc oxide batteries, and made the first telephone and telegraph that impressed Ouyang Xuan, as well as a rechargeable battery of cross-era significance. Although the power is very small and cannot be widely used, Ouyang Xuan is very pleased that he has successfully taken the first step, and if he is put in the future, he will be guaranteed to win the Nobel Prize. Ouyang Xuan was also not stingy in rewarding him with the title of the only marquis in the Xia Kingdom, and he also had a wife, the master father Yan.

On this voyage, Ouyang Xuan didn't want him to go, in this era of the Pacific Ocean, Ouyang Xuan was really not sure, simply through the sun positioning, Ouyang Xuan did not dare to guarantee safety. But he insisted on going, and after begging for a year, Ouyang Xuan let him train with his own soldiers for more than five years before agreeing. The deputy is also an orphan, the name was given by Ouyang Xuan, the original name was Zhao Zhong, renamed Zhao Yang, the water is excellent, his hometown is in Dongou country, and he fled north to Chang'an with his parents to make a living because of the war. Later, when both parents died and they were about to starve to death, Nie Ping took him and his siblings to the Hou Mansion and began to work as a handyman, and later followed Nie Ping to learn bookkeeping for half a year. When Ouyang Xuan was in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, he became Ouyang Xuan's servant with the army. Later, he entered another hospital and Ouyang Xuan to study, and he was more loyal, down-to-earth, hardworking, and studied hard. In addition, the water quality is better, Ouyang Xuan will focus on cultivating navigation knowledge and naval combat together with the naval general Tong Yuan. Through more than ten years of training and practical training, he has far surpassed Ouyang Xuan by several levels in terms of navigation ability and judgment. Ouyang Xuan now feels that his unilateral ability is far inferior to that of the ancients, and he is just a leader and environmental provider.

This time, the standard of greeting was so high that it was the most ever, and it actually drove a temporary railway station 200 miles away to greet them, and in order to welcome the grandeur, 5,000 soldiers were trained for two days as a guard of honor. Up and down the Xia Kingdom, they all know that Ouyang Xuan attaches great importance to this ocean-going fleet, although many people don't understand, but in their hearts, what Ouyang Xuan values, they all support unconditionally, especially the new generation of generals, officials and craftsmen.

When the locomotive hanging with the four divine beast flags emitted white smoke and rumbled into the distance, Ouyang Xuan was a little excited. asked people to find the main father Yan and asked her to lead the female dependents to greet her as soon as possible. As the train entered the station, the welcoming crowd began to cheer, although they didn't know the significance of the ocean-going fleet yet, but they knew that it must be reasonable for King Xia to pay attention to it, as for the rest, they would not think about the rest. The main father, Yeon, led the crew's family to stand at the point where the train would stop, waiting for the return of their loved ones who had been waiting for five years.

The train finally stopped with a creak, and the ceremonial soldiers stepped forward in a procession, standing respectfully at the door, and gently opened the door to the sound of drums. The tanned crew members of the car stepped out of the carriage in the eyes of everyone, embracing their loved ones in tears. Until the sound of drums changed, the ceremonial soldiers lined up in nine rows and nine columns, from far to near the back of the crowd, slowly coming with neat steps. The welcoming crowd also automatically dodged the way, and when they walked in front of the crew, they flashed into two rows to make way for a passageway, and a soldier behind them quickly carried the red carpet forward, paving a red carpet road on the passage road until the ceremonial platform. The ceremonial officer of the guard of honor led the crew to the red carpet under the gaze of the solemn soldiers and the cheers of their loved ones, and slowly walked to the ceremonial platform to the sound of drums. Zhang Lang and Zhao Yang led the army in front, although the clothes were a little shabby, but it was a kind of meritorious service.

Everyone walked to the stage and bowed in front of Ouyang Xuan, Zhang Lang first said: "Minister Zhang Lang, live up to the mission of the lord." Ocean-going Americas, triumphantly returned. According to the main map, tens of millions of catties of things are being unloaded with Liaodong Port. The minister brought some samples and asked the lord to take a look." As he spoke, he took a few burlap bags from the sailor next to him, opened them one by one and placed them in front of Ouyang Xuan. Ouyang Xuan was very concerned about these things, but he was more concerned about the people in front of him, so he just glanced at them and asked, "Bohai Hou, there will be damage to personnel in five years."

"Returning to the lord, because the lord had thought carefully in advance, the ship was not damaged on the way back and forth, and there were many sick people, but fortunately there was medicine to treat it in time, and there was no casualty in five years. According to the request of the Lord, in the mountains of the western part of the Americas, he found the cinchona tree in the picture of the Lord, and brought the medicine to treat abuse, and the people were able to keep it intact." Ouyang Xuan's question made these people's hearts warm, and a sense of pride arose.

"Why do you have to go five years to pay back? Can you know the anxiety of loneliness? ”。“ Back to the lord, we searched along the coast according to the map in advance, and drew a map of the currents and reefs, which took half a year. In the southern Americas in the Lord's atlas, we found the rubber needed by the Lord, and we spent five years to learn and cultivate the rubber through the local natives, and obtained nearly 10 million catties of rubber. In addition, the potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, corn, peanuts, sunflower seeds and other plants in the owner's album were found to have millions of pounds, especially sweet potatoes, peppers, and peanuts. On the return trip, according to the Australian land found by the lord, and through Qiongdao and Taipeng and other places, the rubber seeds were taught to be planted by the Xia State Navy. The trip cost 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 catties of jade, 100,000 glassware, and 100,000 pieces of silk. They are all used to trade with the natives," Zhao Yang replied.

"Okay, the secretary and the others are very lonely. Those who travel this time will be rewarded. Jue to the third level". "Thank you, Lord".

"King Xia, why do you attach so much importance to this ocean-going matter? What is it better than marching and fighting? ”。 Liu Qi didn't know when he appeared next to him, looking at this scene, he said leisurely.

Ouyang Xuan hurriedly got up and saluted: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this trip can be epoch-making. Sweet potato cultivation can feed tens of millions of people, and rubber can be used to obtain a unique weapon." After saying that, he turned around and asked the ceremonial officer to continue the welcoming ceremony. Nearly 1,000 crew members got into a six-horse red four-wheeled carriage and slowly drove towards Xia Gu City.

Back in the city, it was another parade of flowers and a feast. The people and officials of all ethnic groups in the city were immersed in the atmosphere of celebration, and the thousand family banquets were held in the square in front of the Xia Wang's palace in the city. Sit around a table as a family unit and have a drink. The Han people's favorite dishes are the Xiongnu's hand-grasped mutton and roasted whole sheep, and the Xiongnu people are very fond of spicy and fragrant Han dishes. On the stage, Ouyang Xuan's family, the old people who followed Ouyang Xuan all the way, and Liu Qi and Queen Bo who kept praising the prosperity of the world. Ouyang Xuan's personal soldiers temporarily took on the work of waiters, shuttling between the tables and chairs of the crowd, and were responsible for serving tea and water. When the palm lamp is held, hundreds of incandescent lamps are lit at the same time, the square is as bright as day, and when the banquet is at its highest, the Han people, the Huns, the Qiang people, the Sushen people, the Xianbei people, and the Fuyu people all come up with the best songs and dances, and perform on the stage. The roughness of the Huns, the charm of the Qiang people, the singing and dancing of the warblers of the cautious people, and the wild play of the rest of the people are vividly and vividly. (It should be noted here that according to the history books and archaeological findings of the Korean Museum, the Sushen people and the Fuyu people are the ancestors of the present-day Korean Peninsula, not the country that the indigenous people of the Korean Peninsula are commonly believed.) In the middle of the Three Kingdoms, the Northern Xiongnu suppressed the Sushen and Fuyu people, crossed the Yalu River and entered the Korean Peninsula, driving the Korean regime established by the Han Dynasty out of the peninsula and forming the Goryeo tribe, with the capital in the present-day Ji'an City. The indigenous people of the Korean Peninsula are on present-day Jeju Island. Prior to this, the Korean Peninsula was a regime established by the remnants of the Xia and Shang dynasties, using the Chinese language. Su Shen and Fuyu are also remnants of Xia Shang, and they also use Chinese. In the late Tang Dynasty, in order to distinguish the differences of their own ethnic groups, they used the structure of Chinese characters to recreate the phonetic characters, but they still used Chinese characters to distinguish homophones. ）

The banquet didn't end until dawn, and ordinary people might not know why Ouyang Xuan was celebrating, but the country had something to be happy about, and they naturally followed suit, just a country name recognized their sense of existence, the same people of Xia Shang, who were excluded in the Han land, but in the Xia country, they were the main people, and the status of the Han people was equal, how not to let them agree, this is a bit similar to the Dangxiang clan and the Xianbei clan. Just for a celebration of returning from the ocean, it later became a custom in Xia Gu City, which has continued for thousands of years.

This is Ouyang Xuan's consistent style, and all the crew and shipbuilders have been rewarded with their own rich rewards. It has also greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of R&D in other industries.

With the continuous transportation of rubber and other material resources to the cities of Xiagu, under the arrangement of Ma Ning, each factory started a new round of production according to the requirements. Both weapons and civilian materials have made a qualitative leap, and the wheels are no longer hard wooden wheels, but tires with steel skeletons. Bicycles have also entered the homes of ordinary people, the application of rubber, and some new industries have been quietly born. The second batch of 10,000-ton freighters and crews of the ocean-going fleet set off in Liaodong Port under the leadership of Zhao Yang and other old men, and this time they brought thousands of soldiers and exploration experts armed to the teeth, as well as the gold origin map demarcated by Ouyang Xuan. Due to the past planting season, the seeds brought in can only be domesticated in the greenhouse temporarily.

Just after autumn, news came from Bohai County, the flood came as scheduled, and it was very large, due to the reminder of the heavenly officials, Ma Ning adopted the advice of experienced farmers, and used the method of digging ponds to discharge floods, which effectively solved the flooding and brought effective water sources for soil moisture preservation in winter. The oxidized sludge brought by the flood was also well utilized. Liu Qi looked at the report and looked at the ministers of the Xia Kingdom standing in the hall with a greedy gaze. kept grinding to Ouyang Xuan beside him, "Why can't the Han family have such a capable person?" Why did they all run to this desolate place outside the fortress to serve you? Heaven doesn't help me." Ouyang Xuan also ignored Liu Qi, who was nervous, but continued to listen to Si Nong's report. The disaster in Xia was very light, so light that it could be ignored, but in Shandong and other places in the Han Dynasty, it was an ocean, with countless dead and wounded, and the preliminary estimate was that about one million people were affected. Han Ting couldn't save it, and more than 100,000 people died of starvation, helplessly, Han Ting Jun had issued an edict to move the people of Shandong to Hedong, Tianshui, Beidi and other counties. In history, the flood-stricken immigration of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was staged as scheduled, but the original Shuofang County became Tianshui, Hedong, and Beidi County.

Liu Qi listened to the two different ways of dealing with the disaster and the results, and his face became more and more ugly. If it is in the Han court, it is very likely to get angry, but this is the Xia Kingdom, and the people do not recognize the Han Emperor, but only the Xia King. had to swallow his anger, watching the leapfrog development of the talented Xia Kingdom, Liu Qi was full of jealousy and remorse. In the nearly a year he has been here, he has seen too many things that the big man didn't have, but he used to be a big man. When the court meeting dispersed, Liu Qi walked depressedly on the way back to his residence, and accidentally saw several bald people wearing jute robes, speaking a language he didn't understand, very curious, looking for his own soldiers, and asked, "Who are these people?" ”。“ Back to Your Majesty, this is a Buddhist monk, who came to pray with the Western Tianzhu Kingdom to spread the Dharma. Another lord once said that he asked the descendants of Huang Lao of the Han Dynasty to pass on the learning of Huang Lao, but he was rejected because the untransformed people were not enough to preach. Nowadays, only Tianzhu Buddhism, Mojia, and Legalism are used in the summer country to teach by example, enlighten the people, and teach the people and the text of etiquette. The lord once asked Sima Changqing and the university professor to write poetry, but he also gave up because of the bitter cold."

"Do you know why you want to invite these Taoist scholars to educate the people?" The Lord often said that if a person runs too fast, the soul will not be able to keep up, and thus lose his integrity. If the affairs of society develop too fast and the soul cannot keep up, the people will lose the festival of virtue and faith*. It is not yet possible to fully understand the meaning of this. However, whether it is businessmen, people, and officials in the Xia Kingdom, they all take Buddhism as the foundation, morality as the root, and the law as the key. The retribution of the cycle of cause and effect taught by Buddhism goes deep into the root of the Xia people." "Oh, take me to King Xia quickly." "No!"
