"Do what Li Mu says." Zhao Kuo read it, returned the letter to Liu Ping, then looked at Zhao An, and said in a deep voice, "Come here."

"Father!" Zhao An hid behind Liu Ping and looked at Zhao Kuo with teary eyes.

"King, forget it, the son is still young and ignorant, just grow up." Liu Ping picked up Zhao An and rubbed Zhao An's little head.

Zhao An is about the same age as his grandson, he has watched him grow up little by little, and Liu Ping loves him almost as much as his own grandson.

"When I arrive at the academy tomorrow, I will apologize to the teacher and promise that I will never do this again in the future, remember?" Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

"Remembered." Zhao An's head was like a chicken pecking rice.

"Go ahead, I'll teach you your homework in a few days." Zhao Kuo said.

Zhao Anru was amnesty, and ran into the distance.

"When the child gets older, it becomes more and more difficult to manage, no wonder the old people say that the seven or eight year old dogs are disgusted. It's not even seven years old, and it's going to get into trouble everywhere, and if it's seven years old, it's still going to be." Zhao Kuo is quite helpless, none of the four children is worry-free, one is more skinny than the other, and he causes trouble every day.

In just one month, the academy has already sued him three times.

Even if he is the monarch, in the face of such a situation, he can only apologize and promise to discipline him well in the future.

Liu Ping smiled but did not speak.

"Li Mu made a lot of noise in Yandi this time. However, after this time, there should be no more turmoil in Yandi. By the way, did the Yan royal family jump out?" Zhao Kuo asked.

After Zhao annexed Yan State, he only arrested King Yan and a group of princes to Zhao State, as for those collateral lines, like ordinary nobles, they just cleared the land and registered their household registration, and did not catch Zhao Guo and imprison them.

"Nope. There were nobles from all over the Yan Kingdom who stood up to resist, but no one from the royal family stood up, as if they had already determined the result of the destruction of the Yan Kingdom." Liu Ping said.

Although the Yan clan did not use the anti-heaven spell that he cuckolded himself like the Tian clan, so that the number of clans instantly spread throughout the entire country, but after all, it is a big clan that has been inherited for eight hundred years, and there are still a lot of clansmen, so it stands to reason that someone should stand up, and Zhao Guo is also ready.

But these royal families seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate, and did not make any noise.

"The Yan clan is more knowledgeable about current affairs than other nobles." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

Regardless of whether the Yan clan really surrendered to Zhao Guo or fake Zhao Guo, he didn't care. If the Yan clan stands up now, it can still cause some trouble to the Zhao State with the residual prestige of the Yan Kingdom and the cooperation of the nobles, and in a few years, the people of Yan Land will be attached to it, even if they want to recover the Yan Kingdom, it will be too late.

"Actually, most of the nobles of Yan Kingdom don't have a bad feeling for my Zhao Kingdom, if my Zhao Kingdom can give the nobles a certain amount of self-esteem like Yan Kingdom, the nobles will be even more loyal to my Zhao Kingdom than to Yan Kingdom." Liu Ping said.

There is no family that does not want to be attached to a powerful country, especially for the nobles of Yandi, who are located on the border, who understand the meaning of the country better than the nobles of the Central Plains.

In the past few decades, the Yan Kingdom has been plagued by the Donghu and Lou Fu in the north, and can only rely on the Great Wall for defense. Since Zhao Guo destroyed Lou Fu and helped Yan Guo defeat Donghu, Yan Guo has never been harassed by the Hu people.

Therefore, most of the nobles were grateful to the Zhao State, and they did not resent the Zhao State to enter the Yan State.

The world has been in dispute for hundreds of years, and there are many people in the Qin and Twilight dynasties, and they are more concerned about their own interests than who is sitting on the throne.

"What is self-***, it's just to control the place and set up the royal power. It's not that the widow can't give it to them, if he wants it, he will exchange the merit for the fief, don't say that he is self-***, even the taxes are theirs." Zhao Kuo said coldly, "By the way, tell Xiangguo that when you transfer cotton clothes to Yandi, don't forget to transfer a batch of cotton clothes to Zhangye County and Longxi County."

"No." Liu Ping said.

"The cotton production in the Central Plains is still too small to take care of every place, and I don't know how Yuan Hua's waterway exploration is." Zhao Kuo said that he also counted on Yuan Hua to lead the fleet to open up a sea trade route from the Zhao Kingdom to the Mauryan Dynasty.

Although the Hexi Corridor can also communicate between the two places, the cost of land transportation is too high, and the two sides can only trade more expensive goods, such as silk, ceramics, jewelry, spices, and so on.

Although these things can greatly promote the economic development of the Zhao State, they are extremely limited to improve the living standards of the Zhao people, and it takes a long period from nobles to famous families to squires, and finally they can benefit the commoners.

If it is cotton and grain, which are commodities with very low prices and great demand, even if there are no accidents on the road, only the nobles can afford to wear cotton clothes from the Peacock Empire all the way to the Zhao Kingdom, and the commoners don't even think about it.

If it is just facing the aristocracy, the cotton produced by Zhao Guo now is enough, and there is no need to import it at all.

Zhao Kuo's request is to make it affordable for civilians.

Therefore, only by sea can the cost be reduced to a minimum.

As for the ease of capsizing at sea, Zhao Guo has made many technical improvements, especially after changing the flat-bottomed ship to a sharp-bottomed ship, and has reduced the probability of capsizing to a low enough.

Moreover, from the Zhao Kingdom to the Peacock Dynasty, all of them sailed along the offshore waters of the continental shelf, and there was no need to go to the far sea, and the danger was not high.

However, Yuan Hua has been at sea for several months, and there has been no news.

What Zhao Kuo didn't know was that Yuan Hua was teaching the local natives how to grow crops, plan the acres of fields, drink water for irrigation, fertilize and a series of other planting techniques in the Indochina Peninsula at this time.

More than a month ago, Yuan Hua passed by here, ready to go ashore to get some fresh water, but before he got off the boat, a group of unclothed natives ran out of the woods, and when they saw Yuan Hua and others, they knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Over the years, Yuan Hua has traveled all over the world, and he has seen countless natives, some of whom attacked when he saw them, and some who fled, but when he saw them, he knelt down and kowtowed, and Yuan Hua saw them for the first time.

After some extremely difficult communication, Yuan Hua realized that this indigenous tribe had just been worshipping the heavens on the seashore and praying for God's help, but Yuan Hua and they came, and then they were regarded by this group of natives as heavenly soldiers sent by God to help them.

"That's right, we are the heavenly soldiers and generals sent by the heavens to help you, if you have anything precious, don't take it out quickly." Yuan Hua said with a raised face.

When the natives heard this, they jumped and jumped around Yuan Hua excitedly, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing from time to time.

"General, they don't understand what you're saying." Adjutant General Zhao Zhong said.

"Forget it, leave them alone. It's like a bird." Yuan Hua said impatiently, ready to turn around and leave.

When a group of natives saw that Yuan Hua was leaving, they hurriedly knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and begged Yuan Hua not to leave.

"Who can understand what the hell they're talking about?" Yuan Hua frowned, if it weren't for this group of natives who came up and kowtowed, making him a little embarrassed to do it, he would have ordered all of them to be killed.

Wandering around the sea all these years, he killed not ten thousand but eight thousand.

"General, they seem to say let's help them." The staff officer said.

Although the navy is small in personnel, it also has its own staff officers.

"Help them for what?" Yuan Hua asked.

「…… I don't know, but they seem to be inviting us to their tribe." Bu Guo said.

"No, no." Yuan Hua said decisively, it was none of his business whether the indigenous people lived or died, and he didn't have the idea of being a virgin.

At this moment, one of the natives at the head suddenly knelt on the ground, took out a pearl the size of half a fist from his arms, handed it to Yuan Hua, and motioned for Yuan Hua to accept it.

It was the first time for Yuan Hua to see such a big pearl, and his breathing suddenly became a little heavy.

"Where is your tribe? Take us there." Yuan Hua took the pearl and said to the natives who were the leader.

The indigenous leader pointed to the front and said a lot, Yuan Hua left part of the Zhao army to guard the ships, and followed the natives to the tribe with five hundred soldiers.

The indigenous leader stepped forward and said a few words, and soon, the entire tribe of men, women, and children all ran out, and just when Yuan Hua thought something was happening, everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yuan Hua is knock.

Then Yuan Hua was welcomed

into a house made of leaves.

"General, they seem to have a lot of good stuff." Bu Guo looked at the humble house and whispered.

The tribe is very poor, and the stone tools are still used, and the weapons are basically wooden sticks, and each of them is not clothed, even if it is a woman, she is half-naked and dangling at will in front of Zhao Jun, which makes Zhao Jun's heart a little surging.

You know, they haven't seen a woman on the ship for months, and now even a sow is a sable in their eyes.

But the two tusks hanging on the wall attracted Bu Guo's attention, such a thick ivory, in the Central Plains is a treasure, but now it is hanging in the room at will.

The tribal leader seemed to notice Bu Guo's gaze, walked over and took off the ivory, and put it in Bu Guo's hand without paying attention.

Bu Guo suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, and even wanted to slap himself twice.

He had just seen the ivory, and he actually wanted Yuan Hua to rob it, but he didn't expect that the indigenous people would give it to them directly.

In comparison, he is simply a villain.

"It's a gift to the gods." The tribal leader took a small bag of pearls and gave them to Yuan Hua, all of which were colorful, and if they were placed in the Central Plains, they would definitely be sold for a lot of money.

Yuan Hualeng was in the same place, and he didn't accept it, and he didn't accept it.

I didn't do anything, I just followed a trip to the tribe, and I had to give myself a bag of pearls, even if the Zhuo family and the Guo family, who were rich enough to rival the country, would not dare to be so defeated.

"Ask them, what are they going to do?" Yuan Hua was a little apprehensive in his heart, if he didn't help the natives now, he was not sure.

After some difficult conversations again, Bu Guo roughly understood the meaning of the natives, "They seem to say that there is a particularly powerful beast in the back mountain, which often comes down the mountain to eat people, and wants us to help kill it."

"Ask them why they didn't move somewhere else?" Yuan Hua said.

Bu Guo first pointed to his feet, then to other places, and after a long time, he finally understood the meaning of the natives: "They said that there are fierce beasts and more powerful tribes in other places, and those tribes will drive them away."

"Let them take us to the beasts, and we'll help them solve them." Yuan Hua said.

Bu Guo relayed the message to the indigenous chieftain, and suddenly, the entire tribe burst into earth-shattering cheers.

The indigenous leader personally led Yuan Hua to the back mountain, and the fierce beast seemed to feel the danger and rushed out of the mountain forest, and it turned out to be a colorful tiger more than two meters long.

The tribal leader was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind.

"Beasts of the Transcendent Realm, no wonder you can't deal with them." Yuan Hua said that the strongest person in the entire indigenous tribe, that is, the leader, is only in the Gangyuan Realm, and because the weapons are not good, there is no armor or anything, and he still belongs to the kind of food in the Gangyuan Realm.

"This beast is already a bit of an intelligent man, and eats people, but it won't kill them all. Deliberately placing the nest nearby, this is to raise the whole tribe as a livestock." Bu Guo said in a deep voice.

"Formation!" Yuan Hua said loudly, and the azure internal qi rushed out of his body, and the battle clouds quickly condensed in the sky.

An aura more powerful than the Transcendent Realm Tiger erupted from Yuan Hua's body.

The tiger seemed to sense that the enemy was somewhat strong, and instead of choosing to fight hard, he turned around and fled towards the mountains.

"I still want to escape!" Yuan Hua mobilized the strength of the entire legion and slashed out a long blade more than ten meters long, instantly cutting through the sky.

Burst!

A stream of blood gushed out of the tiger's body like a spring.

With just one move, the Tiger of the Transcendent Realm was killed by Yuan Hua.

Seeing this, the indigenous leader knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed to Yuan Hua.

"When I returned to the tribe, I stripped off the tiger skin, and kept the tiger whip, and gave it to the king when I returned home. Tiger meat is distributed to the brothers." Yuan Hua said.

Any beast in the transcendent realm is a treasure, even if an ordinary person eats a bite, it will have a little more possibility of generating internal qi.

When Zhao Jun returned to the tribe, there was another earth-shattering cheer.

The men, women and children in the tribe sang and danced around Yuan Hua, and even some girls looked at Yuan Hua affectionately.

boldly walked over to confess, which made Yuan Hua a little overwhelmed.

In the evening, the leader brought a girl to Yuan Hua, the girl looked at Yuan Hua shyly, the leader pointed to the girl and said a lot, and left the girl behind.

The next day, Bu Guo looked at the girl who was following Yuan Hua and smiled playfully: "General, Yanfu is not shallow."

"If you wanted to, they wouldn't refuse." Yuan Hua said.

In the eyes of the natives, the Zhao people are heavenly soldiers and generals. It was a great honor for them to be able to spend the night with the Zhao people.

"Forget it, subordinates." Bu Guo shook his head, these natives were too stumbling to fit his aesthetics, and the girl who followed behind Yuan Hua could barely see it, "General, when are we leaving?"

"Wait a minute, and ask them where they have pearls, ivory, and tortoiseshell...... We're going to have to get some good stuff back when we go out." Yuan Hua said.

After a while, Bu Guo brought the leader over: "He said that those big tribes have a lot of these things, they are just small tribes, and there are not many of them, and they have all been given to us. If we want to, we can only go to the big tribes."
