"Head, come up and take a look, there's something terrible over there1

Wang Ben raised his head and looked at the watchman who was shouting and asked.

"What's that? １

"I don't know, it should be the huge whirlpool, it's too far away to see clearly1

"Directions?"

"East by Northeast 1

"Continue north1

"No, there's a lot of pirate ship activity in the northeast and north, and we're running out of supplies1

"Damn! When I go up and take a look, I really want to know what it is! Last time, I could only look at it from afar, but this time I can still only look at it from afar? ”

"No way, unless we build supply ports along the way, it's impossible to get there."

Wang Ben silently climbed to the top of the mast, with big eyes props carefully watched, in fact, the distance there is very far, if it is not for the good weather, and with the assistance of props, it is impossible to see that distance with the naked eye, as for the curvature of the earth, please ignore it automatically, who told you that this is the earth!

After a while, Wang Ben, who was unwilling, came down from the mast.

"Return to home 1

"Do you see clearly?"

"No, I can only see that the sea is a little abnormal, it looks like a whirlpool, but it may not be, maybe it's an island."

"Supposedly, is that direction the Kuril Islands or Sakhalin?"

"It should be the Kuril Islands, and due north is Sakhalin, but. This is just a reference to the Earth, we have been exploring the sea for so long. Don't you realize that this is not exactly the same as the earth? ”

"You know, except that the map of Dahan and the surrounding area is the same as much as possible, the farther away it is, the more different it is, why is this? Isn't it easier to copy the earth? ”

"What is there to know about copying the earth, this is where the brain is smart, starting from the familiar starting point and moving towards the broader unknown world. If you look at the history and the evolution of the game, you can see that this concept is in the same vein. ”

"That's right, that's how it should be! So that is, it is not necessarily the Kuril Islands over there. ”

"Well, not necessarily! What's even more strange is why there are no barriers here? ”

No one can answer Wang Ben's question, and perhaps the answer must be discovered by themselves. This puzzle is also like a huge motivation, urging adventurers to cross the seven seas!

Wang Ben discovered this problem after the Chinese New Year, and with the development of the east coast of Lelang, the pirates who had originally gathered in the North Sea began to give up a distance along the coast, which gave Wang Ben and others the opportunity to go north along the coastline.

Taking advantage of the thaw on the coast of the sea, Wang Ben led an elite fleet of ships across the seven seas to explore the north. Along the way, he was constantly disturbed by various weather and wild monsters, and finally found a strange existence at the farthest distance that could be reached, but due to supply problems, he had to regret that he fell short in the visual distance twice.

"Head. It seems that we alone will not work1

"I understand the emergence of a new channel this time. In fact, a lot of things have been hinted at, the emergence of waterways not only requires our navigation ability across the seven seas, but also depends on the territorial control ability of the Han Dynasty, with the expansion of the territory of the Han Dynasty, new waterways will appear, on the contrary, without the support of the Han Dynasty's territory, we will have bottlenecks and limit problems. ”

"Head, do you want to talk to Fang Zhiwen? Will he adjust his strategy as a result? No matter how enlightened he was, he was still an ancient warlord, and it was impossible for him to blindly expand his borders for such a profitless thing1

"Isn't it okay to expand the territory?"

"Hehe, from Liaodong County to the east, it is Goguryeo, Goguryeo's territory is not small, but the population is less than two million, and then to the east, it is Wofu, although Wofu has a name, but it is basically in the form of a half-cultivated and semi-nomadic tribe, there is no serious state power, and the population is even more scarce, such a vast land, what is Fang Zhiwen going to do, his Liaodong and Lelang have not yet been developed, no, Xuansu County still has a wide open space that makes people fear1

Wang Ben thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "We must always fight for it, even if it is developed along the coastline, as long as the port is established to the location of Vladivostok, we can go out to the Kuril Islands1."

"Hehe, if it's really possible, that's a big deal, and besides, it shouldn't be called the Kuril Islands, it should be named by us.1

Wang Ben's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth secretly, how could he not do such a blood-boiling thing! Even if it is difficult, Wang Ben still wants to give it a try, but it really can't work, so he persuaded Fang Zhiwen to let him build a naval base in Vladivostok, maybe he can also get the approval of Zhinao!

Fang Zhiwen returned to Miyun at the end of March, and there were basically no accidents in Qingzhou, and the rest was handed over to Guo Jia and Xu Shu, and Fang Zhiwen himself took Zhen Xiang and a group of people who went to Yuyang to settle back in Youzhou.

Fang Zhiwen returned to Youzhou to comfort his wife and children, not to mention, but also busy organizing spring plowing and resettlement of a large number of immigrants, this Central Plains War, Fang Zhiwen moved about four million to five million immigrants, these immigrants are distributed in Lelang, Liaodong and Yuyang, a small number in Xuanfu.

There are eight newly built cities, upgraded to twelve third-level towns, which need to appoint and dismiss a large number of officials, the military is not a big problem, due to the continuous war, there are many experienced generals, just find some stable and good at defense to be the captain.

However, the civil service will never be enough, and the training of civil officials is too slow, so they have to transfer some military officials to become civil officials, which has also become another mountain of the civil official system in the future, which is different from the Xilin system, the Zhengxiang system, the southern system and the veteran system, which is called the general system.

After Fang Zhiwen returned to Miyun, most of his energy was involved in personnel adjustments. In addition, the establishment of the supervision system, Xi has no experience in these things. In addition to looking for theoretical support from the Xilin Academy, it is to find Fang Zhiwen to discuss and research.

The news of Wang Ben's return from the north made Fang Zhiwen's eyes shine, not only because he got rid of the endless copywriting chores, but also because Fang Zhiwen himself also had a strong urge to explore the unknown, especially this time Wang Ben and they went to the far north that they had never visited.

For this reason, Fang Zhiwen deliberately brought Li Xueyin, Zhen Jiang, Taishi Zhaorong, as well as Tian Chou, Tian Feng, and Xun Yu together, just to let everyone see how big the world is. Only by looking at the whole world can we truly have a broad mind and truly see this beautiful and magnificent world.

"Everyone, please look at the map, we arrived at about 5,000 miles from Busan, of course, the distance we walked when we actually reached it was twice as long. Because all the way north from here is a north wind, and you have to travel twice as far to go against the wind1

Wang Ben explained in front of a group of Miyun ministers, and he was inevitably a little nervous, but when it came to his own adventure, Wang Ben was more of a pride and excitement. His enthusiasm is also contagious.

"You're saying you're not sure what you've found, but it just looks like a giant whirlpool, or a whirlpool-like archipelago?"

Li Xueyin asked first, and asked to the point.

"Yes. I can't be sure, it's more than a hundred miles away. If it weren't for the sheer size of the thing, it probably wouldn't have been visible at all. ”

"So, do you want us to continue to support you in your further exploration?" Tian Feng asked lightly

"No, it's not that simple. The first thing I want to say is that we couldn't go north before, and the route to the north was full of tough pirates, but now there is a route for no reason, which makes us go 5,000 miles more, don't you think of anything? ”

It should be the impact of the development of the east coast of Lelang and the eastern part of Liaodong.1 Xun Yu pointed out the essence of the problem succinctly.

"That's right, that's what we think too, so there's only one way to get farther afield, to expand the territory of the Great Han, and I've calculated that as long as we can expand our territory here, our shipping route will be able to support us to sail to this strange place without hindrance."

"What does it mean to sail without hindrance?" Fang Zhiwen interjected and asked.

"When we pass through this route now, we need to make use of the night, wind direction and other factors to get rid of the harmony and harmony mushrooms, and the 5th act of the emperor sends the desolate and fierce percussion mode, and the emperor sends the desolate and fierce knocking mode, and the flounder is tortured 6>Tian Feng narrowed his eyes: "This place is more than two thousand miles away from the easternmost Xianxing City, and it is also separated by Goguryeo and Wofu, what does General Wang mean that we will fight over?" ”

"This"

"Mr. Wang, can you give me a rough description, or draw a picture of what you see.1

"Of course," Wang Ben took out a piece of paper from his pocket and hung it on the map shelf: "It's such a scenario 1

Fang Zhiwen looked at it carefully, Li Xueyin suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and turned to look at Fang Zhiwen and hesitated.

Fang Zhiwen nodded with a smile and asked, "It's really a huge whirlpool, then, if we hit the place you said to build a port, what do you think will do it to us?" ”

"It doesn't seem to do much good for the time being, other than a reputation for frontiers, but in the long run, the more we know about the world, the better, doesn't it?"

Although Wang Ben's words were a bit big and empty, no one objected, and all of them were people with a long-term vision, and they all knew what Wang Ben was talking about in terms of long-term interests.

Fang Zhiwen glanced at Li Xueyin, who was bowing his head and pondering, and thought for a while: "This matter is very important, and it can't be decided hastily, Mr. Wang will stay in Miyun for a few days for the time being, and we will discuss it?" ”

"Of course, I will always look forward to the 1 pending of your decision. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation.
