The bell rang, a total of twenty-four rings, there was silence in the Zetian Palace, and the ministers knelt on the ground, this is the memory of the empress Qin Yin, in 7736 of the imperial calendar, the empress Qin Yin died in the blood-red abyss, and now four years have passed, but everyone knows that the day Qin Yin died, she was just twenty-four years old, even if the three kings rule the world now, but the world always believes that Qin Yin will return, because she is the orthodoxy of the Qin family, and she is the only inheritor in the royal family who has the personality of the main god.

After the bell rang, Shangguan Jingyue was wearing the robe of the chief female officer, stepped forward and stretched out her hand, "Ladies and gentlemen, please get up." ”

Everyone stood up one after another, and when they looked up, they saw Qin Yan and Feng Jixing standing side by side in front of the throne, no one sat down, since the three kings ruled the world, none of the three kings coveted this throne, Lin Muyu always believed that Qin Yin could be found, and Feng Jixing and Qin Yan didn't believe it.

"His Highness Rain has sent news from the other side of the ocean. ”

Feng Jixing's voice was low, but he said very steadily: "There is another continent on the other side of the East China Sea, the two planes have been completely integrated, the world on the other side is called Tianji, and there are three major empires to rule, namely the Tianji Empire, the Tianjue Empire, and the Blackstone Empire. ”

The ministers were shocked, some people heard some rumors and knew that there was a world on the other side of the Eastern Sea, but most of them didn't know anything about the Heavenly Pole Continent at all.

An old minister stepped forward, holding a jade wat in his hand, and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, I can't be sure of this matter, besides...... Even if there is a world on the other side of the ocean, we can send envoys to make friends with gold, silver, jewelry, etc., instead of blindly thinking about attacking, the empire has been at war for a long time, and the national strength is much worse than before, and please let the two highnesses be sympathetic to the suffering of the people of the world!"

Feng Jixing nodded: "What Yuyang Bo said has some truth, but we must be prepared with both hands, we must also be prepared for war while befriending the Tianji Continent, there are only so many lands in this world, and the three major empires of the Tianji Continent cannot completely ignore the richness of the Shattered Ding Realm, if we don't prepare, we will only become lambs to the slaughter." ”

Yuyang Bo bowed his head and said: "I just hope that the two highnesses will not be reckless, and mistake my Great Qin......"

Qin Yan was a little displeased, frowned and said, "We have our own measure, Yuyang Bo doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Feng Jixing's gaze fell on Yong Yifan, who was in the forefront of the ministers, and said: "The loyal prince has worked tirelessly to come all the way from the Seven Seas Province, and it has been hard, but ...... Today's affairs still need more advice from the Loyal Prince, how does the Empire think it should deal with it now?"

A pair of dim eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said: "Since the Tianji Continent is separated from us by an East China Sea of nearly two thousand miles, then we must reorganize the sailors, build new warships, and strengthen the troops of the three eastern provinces of Lingdong, Tongtian, and Lingkong with the strength of the country, and in addition, cast the magic crystal cannon with all our might, and the heavy artillery will be our greatest chance to win." ”

Feng Jixing nodded with satisfaction.

Qin Yan said: "Where is the book of the Ministry of Industry?"

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was already white-bearded, stepped forward, and respectfully clenched his fists: "The old minister is here." ”

"The casting and improvement of the magic crystal cannon is mainly the business of your weapons department, and I hope you will not slack off. ”

"Yes, the old minister knows. ”

At this time, the Weapons Master behind him said: "Your Royal Highness, Lord Qin Ziling sent a drawing from Yiyushu in Tongtian Province, which is about building a ship. ”

"Lou ship?" Feng Jixing was stunned: "What kind of ship is that?"

"Your Royal Highness, the building ship is a new type of warship, the two sides of the warship are protected by heavy female walls, small magic crystal cannons can be placed in the cabin, and the female wall is wrapped with iron sheets to resist the bow and arrows of the enemy ship, ballista attack, and the building ship can be divided into multiple layers, not only when facing the enemy is a heavy artillery fortress, but also impulsive transport ships, a large building ship can transport at least 2000-4000 imperial soldiers, Qin Ziling Lord is a ghostly and clever craftsman, is a ghost and craftsman in the past and present, once this kind of building ship is successfully developed, it will inevitably be the overlord in the naval battle. ”

"Okay!" Feng Jixing was overjoyed, and waved his hand: "Yes, immediately order to start developing and building this kind of building ship." ”

"It's just that Your Highness ......," the Weapons Division was silent.

"Just what?"

"It's just that the building ship is exquisitely made, and the materials needed include all kinds of xenomorphic iron ore and wood that are scarce in the empire, so it will cost a lot of money to cast the building ship. ”

"Let's just say it, how much does it cost to cast a building ship?"

The Weapons Division swallowed his saliva under Feng Jixing's forced gaze, and said, "About 300,000 gold coins can mint a large building ship. ”

"Three hundred thousand?"

Feng Jixing was taken aback: "It's so expensive, it's just a warship paved with gold!"

The Weapons Division said with a wry smile: "This is also a matter of no way, according to the design of Lord Qin Ziling, the entire warship is about two hundred meters long, so the wood used to strengthen the hull must be made of very tough golden willow wood, this golden willow wood is five hundred years old, it is originally a precious material comparable to gold, if you don't use golden willow wood to strengthen the overall hull, I am afraid that once you encounter a storm, such a large warship will be torn apart." ”

"Got it, 300,000 is 300,000. Feng Jixing looked into the distance: "The Ministry of Households, all the needs of the Ministry of Industry to develop weapons are provided by you." ”

Hube Shangshu was a fat man, with a small beard on his chin, like a goat's beard, and his face was full of careful calculations, and said: "Your Royal Highness King Xin, a building ship is 300,000 gold coins, plus the magic crystal cannons, sailors, equipment, etc. on the building ship, the cost of this building ship is enough to 500,000 gold coins, and the sailor's warships are often thousand, and the value of a thousand building ships is 500 million gold dollars...... The empire has already spent a billion gold coins on the steel parapet and the magic crystal cannon, and the treasury is empty, where can I get these five billion gold coins...... The old minister really can't help it, if His Royal Highness the King of the Faith wants the old minister to make up 500 million gold coins, the old minister can't do anything. ”

Feng Jixing squinted his eyes and smiled: "Lord Zhang, your son married a concubine and built a Tibetan Pavilion for her in the south of the city, which cost 30 million gold coins, someone reported this matter to me, I don't know if it's true? Where is Xiao Han of the Fire Sparrow?"

Xiao Han stood upright: "The end will be." ”

With the order, Xiao Han immediately led the people of the Fire Bird Division to the mansion of the Hubu Shangshu to thoroughly investigate his withholding of treasury materials and fake public benefits. ”

"Yes!"

The fat man was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, snorting and tearing: "His Royal Highness King Xin's life, I have worked hard for so many years, and there has never been a fake public and private business, and the dog's garden is just the income from his business in the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no greed at all. ”

"No need. ”

Feng Jixing smiled secretly and said: "Your iron rooster Zhang Rang's reputation has long been spread all over the world, otherwise His Royal Highness Yu would not personally select you to be the secretary of the household department, as long as you gather the 500 million gold coins and hand them over to the Ministry of Industry, as for the treasury, you must do a good job of every treasury revenue and expenditure, and submit one to the Zetian Palace every month, Ah Yu and I trust you very much, thinking that you can manage the treasury of the Great Qin Empire, you must not let us down." ”

"Yes...... Yes, the old minister knows!"

The wind followed the grace and power, and it had already made this Zhang Rang obedient.

Yong Yifan said: "According to the description of His Highness Yu, there is a kind of army on the Tianji Continent called the Dragoon Regiment, which is a group of warriors riding dragons, and its power is amazing, if this is the case, we must be on guard, otherwise, I am afraid that we will be controlled by others in the first step." ”

"Hmm. ”

Feng Jixing bowed his head and said, "Dragon Knight...... It is indeed very tricky, but it is difficult for us to deal with the corps in the air, ordinary arrows cannot penetrate the dragon armor, even if it is a white diamond arrow, because the weight and speed of the arrow body may not be able to penetrate the dragon armor, the magic crystal cannon launched in the air may not be able to accurately hit the dragon, alas......"

Qin Yan looked at Feng Jixing's worried appearance and said, "His Royal Highness King Xin, let's take one step at a time, we haven't even seen a real dragon rider now, it's too early to think about how to deal with it." ”

After all, Qin Yan was still too young, Feng Jixing smiled bitterly and didn't speak.

At this time, Yong Yifan squinted his eyes and said, "The two highnesses don't know if they remember, what is he best at defending the country and defending the enemy?"

Qin Yan was stunned: "Archery." ”

"That's right. Yong Yifan smiled slightly: "It is the archery technique of piercing Yang in 100 steps, with the ability of defending the country, opening a strong bow of 300 catties, shooting the enemy 200 meters away, the old minister is thinking, if we can train the giant war eagle, let the sharpshooters in our army ride the giant eagle, and only shoot the eyes of the dragon knight mount dragon, can it have a miraculous effect?"

Feng Jixing was stunned: "Can it work? If you are riding a war eagle, not to mention the unstable body, the trajectory of the arrow is also easily affected by the strong wind in the air, and it is not easy to shoot a small dragon's eye." ”

"But do we have any other way?" said Yi Fan with a wry smile.

Feng Jixing was speechless, and waved his hand: "It seems that this is indeed the case, since this is the case, the Duke of Zhongguo will not return to the fiefdom of the Seven Seas Province recently, so he will stay in the imperial capital and help the military department develop this kind of war eagle marksman." ”

"Yes, the old minister obeys!"

The entire Zetian Temple fell silent again, everyone was thinking about different things, but after a conversation, Feng Jixing and Qin Yan had a preliminary impression and confidence in facing the enemy in the distance.
