Chapter 210: The Age of Discovery

"Your Majesty, the grass people think that my Ming Dynasty silk, porcelain, shipbuilding, etc. are superior, and we should strengthen shipping, establish a stable maritime trade route, sell these exquisite and beautiful treasures overseas in exchange for a lot of wealth, and at the same time introduce foreign exquisite skills, enrich Chinese culture, and enrich the lives of the people!"

"Well said! What Yi Aiqing said is exactly what I want! Our dynasty has abundant materials, and it is not a violent thing to use only for the common people? Send it overseas, one can prove to overseas that my Ming country is rich and strong, and the products are exquisite, and it can also be exchanged for wealth to enrich the treasury! It seems that it is imperative to open up a new route, Yi Qing, you have made great contributions to exploring routes thousands of miles away, and I want to reward you heavily! ”

Yi Xiaoge was overjoyed when he heard it, and finally came to the main event, it took more than a year, and the real time was nearly two months before he could finally receive the hidden rewards brought by the map. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the emperor waved, a white-haired old eunuch stood up, holding a roll of yellow silk and preaching loudly.

"Fengtian carrier! The emperor said! Today, there are overseas courtiers, good businessmen and easy Xiaoer, who have gone through all kinds of difficulties, opened up sea routes, and learned widely, promoted the prosperity of our economy and trade, and promoted the national prestige of our Ming Dynasty! I hereby give Yi Qing the name of the first merchant in the world, and I can travel smoothly to the north and south, and the officials from all over the country must be convenient with it. Another bounty of 100,000 yuan, given to the exclusive berthing area of Guangquan and the two ports, and the commercial tax reduction is 30%! ”

"Ding! Congratulations on winning the title of No. 1 merchant in the world, which can increase the friendship of NPCs in each port. ”

Just 100,000 gold coins? That's too much, isn't it...... Yi Xiaoge couldn't help but be speechless, but it was already good to be able to get special berths and trade tax exemptions from the two major ports for free. Originally, Yi Xiaoge thought that this was the end of the matter, but he didn't expect the emperor's next words to make Yi Xiaoge stand on the cusp of the game again.

"I have decided to adopt Yi Qing's opinion, open up the sea route, attract overseas trade, and promote the economic and trade development of our country! I will send Zheng He to lead the fleet south to the West to make friends, develop economy and trade, and promote national prestige!

"Ding! World Announcement: Yi Xiaoer, Emperor of the Xiaoer Empire, has completed the World Mission: Mysterious Nautical Chart! Successfully opened up a new route to the East and opened the era of great exploration! The navigation route and the new port have been refreshed, and the trade profit of the new route port is ten times that of ordinary ports! Yi Xiaoer will be awarded the title of the first person to sail (greatly increasing the friendship level of NPCs in ports around the world.) )”

This world announcement caught almost all the guilds off guard, and the guild bosses opened the map one after another, and on the other side of the heart of the world, a new continent appeared, and hundreds of ports were listed.

The first thing the bigwigs thought of was to immediately send a large-scale fleet to these ports, and they wanted to snatch the harbor governor advisors of these ports as soon as possible to obtain the greatest commercial authority and benefits! What is the concept of ten times trade profit! That's a huge profit!

At the same time, the attention of all players also shifted from the hottest battle for the founding of the country to Yi Xiaoer, a player who always makes a splash in silence. This first casual player to establish a nation with only five members has once again surprised everyone.

Yi Xiaoer always seems to be driving the progress of the game, entering the Age of Sail, the guild establishing the country, and now pushing everyone into the Age of Discovery, opening up a whole new oriental world.

"How did he do it? How did he last that long? How to deal with the constant storms at sea? How do the countless pirates respond? What kind of ship can support that far......"

Almost everyone is asking these questions, and the handsome people of Moe God Island were the first to send a message, one or two were so excited that they couldn't do it, their boss continued to create miracles, and the boasting of the capital was simply too thick. Yi Xiaoge didn't reply to the news for the time being, because when he heard the announcement of this world, his heart suddenly panicked. He is not ready, he has not laid the foundation here, if he is pressed by the Grand Guild, he opens up the eastern route is equivalent to making a wedding dress for others, and this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.

"Yi Aiqing! I don't know if you have any other difficulties for me to deal with? ”

Wow! Touched! Yi Xiaoge didn't expect this emperor to be so active, he offended the emperor of the heart of the world a lot, it was completely impossible to get any more benefits from there, he killed the three major royal fleets of the other party, and no one would let him go.

Yi Xiaoge thought about it for a long time, and felt that he had to establish a foothold here in order to expand his influence.

"Your Majesty! I hope to buy land in Guangzhou and Quanzhou to build bases, I wonder if Your Majesty can agree? ”

"Buying a plot? This ......" Zhu Di hesitated.

"Your Majesty, by no means! Yi Xiaoer's ancestral home is not here, just like Waiyi! How can the land be surrendered to the foreigners? ”

"Your Majesty think twice!"

"Your Majesty, don't sell your land!"

The ministers in the main hall immediately objected when they heard that Yi Xiaoge wanted to buy land, and it was exactly the same as what Wu Huanzhi said, just because Yi Xiaoge was an outsider.

"Yi Aiqing, you also heard it, it's not that I don't want to, but the fact that the land purchase is inappropriate, and it violates the lessons of the ancestors!"

Hemp eggs! I'm the gold lord! Super investors, what can you do if you give a piece of land? Yi Xiaoge was depressed, if there was a fleet coming, he would simply take down the port of Guangzhou and develop it. Feudalism is the harm of these dogmas......

"In that case...... Grass people retire! "The emperor refuses to sell the land, Yi Xiaoge can only see if he can make an investment or something, which can be regarded as taking the lead, and Yi Xiaoge will leave after speaking.

"Yi Qing and slow!"

As soon as Yi Xiaoge turned around, Zhu Di seemed to be reluctant to let a talent like Yi Xiaoge go, and hurriedly said: "Although the land on land cannot be sold to you, I have another expedient measure. ”

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he looked at a certain minister below, and he didn't know if he really understood it, or if it was controlled by the system, the minister with a murderous face walked out and said to Yi Xiaoge: "There is an island called Snapper Island hundreds of miles off Quanzhou in this dynasty, which is the inherent territory of our dynasty, the island is about 6,000 acres, named after the abundance of sea bream, and there have been many vicious pirate felons and pirates and water thieves for a long time. The navy wanted to go to exterminate it, but the Japanese were rampant, and we couldn't catch it! How about taking this island as your special fief? ”

Zhu Di also immediately said: "Not bad! In recent years, the Japanese thieves have been arrogant, but the territory of our coastal defense is too long, and the naval army is insufficient to go on an expedition! What if you could recover the island so that you could make a fief? At that time, I can make you the general of Zhengdong, and you will be stationed here, and you will be justified! ”

Yi Xiaoge was taken aback at that time! A few hundred nautical miles off the coast of Quanzhou? He thought about it carefully, isn't that what kind of island is it, in reality, Huaxia has already taken it down? Yi Xiaoge is right when he thinks about it carefully, this is ancient, and it is not in line with modern environmental factors. Listening to the emperor's meaning, he wants to let himself go and take down the sea bream island, harvest the land by himself, and reap the political achievements. Think about it, it's a good deal, and the emperor also promised to be an official.

But Yi Xiaoge turned his head and thought about it, this matter is not so simple, the navy of the Ming Dynasty can't do it, can he take it down? Although the island is a legitimate reconquest of its own territory, it is facing the entire sea power of the Japanese Invaders!

This is not an ordinary mountain of pressure, Yi Xiaoge now only has three expedition ships without combat effectiveness in his hands, what should he do?

"Your Majesty! That's it! If I hit Snapper Island! Then be my satellite island! ”

"My gentleman's words are hard to chase!"

Leaving Beijing, Yi Xiaoge was thinking about countermeasures all the way, and he got the nautical charts and the topographic map of Snapper Island from the Minister of the Navy. After reading it, Romon thought that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it would be difficult to take it unless there was a large-scale landing force.

Yi Xiaoge now only has three expedition ships that are completely incapable of combat effectiveness, what will he fight with?

Although there are a group of rifled guns and dolphin commandos on board, it can't be done without the support of the warship, just a few people infiltrate and sneak attack?

"It's a pity that the Blood Eagle Pirates and the Pirates of the Caribbean are too far from here......" Romon said helplessly.

Everyone returned to Quanzhou by carriage, and Yi Xiaoge spent every day in Wanfu Shipyard, hoping to get the treasure ship drawings, but the secrecy measures were too good to do anything at all. Although Cheng Ye was greedy, he still didn't dare to get on the boat easily in the face of the crime of killing his head.

"Alas...... It's better to be on your own turf, do whatever you want......" Yi Xiaoge sighed.

"Second brother eats!"

In a tavern, Qin Feiyan took the fried sea bream and seafood soup from the shopkeeper and said to Yi Xiaoge.

Watching the shopkeeper walk away, Qin Feiyan covered his mouth and smiled, Yi Xiaoge said strangely: "Are you nervous?" Laugh at something. ”

"Second brother, why are you called Yi Xiaoer?"

……

Qin Feiyan's words suddenly made him a little silent, he looked up at the bustling street outside the window, and only turned around and said half-jokingly: "Because I ...... Two......"

"What?" Qin Feiyan looked at Yi Xiaoer with wide eyes, the young leader's eyes were shining with a sparkling luster, and he was a little indistinguishable at the moment.

"Because I'm a dick, I was born with a dick! That's why it's named after the dick......"

At noon, many merchants entered the tavern to eat and drink, and the environment became noisy for a while, Yi Xiaoge was about to get up and leave, but a few vendors came to the table next to him, and the topic he said caught his attention.

"Alas...... Recently, the open sea has not been peaceful, and the newly infested pirate gang calling itself the Celestial Dragon Society has been robbing merchant ships everywhere, and many merchants have suffered. The navy has failed to exterminate it repeatedly, and our small boats and small goods don't even dare to go out to the sea! ”

"But it's not, I heard that the Tianlong Society is very fierce, not only is the boat management skill very good, but the killing is even more unblinking, for the sake of money is completely desperate!"

"Yes, they still have a lot of ships, I heard that there are hundreds, but it's amazing, it is said that it is the ships that annexed their peers and the Japanese pirates to have such a large scale, if it continues to develop, I am afraid that even the navy will not be able to take it."

……

"Tianlong will ......" Yi Xiaoge thought thoughtfully.
