Unbeknownst to Xia Jing and Li Jingfu, the situation in the Middle East had changed again while they were exploring the terrain on the islands in the South Sea.

Body poison king sand. Jahan ordered his army to use troops against the Rajputs in the west and in the northwest, which was at odds with the Persian Empire for many years, resulting in an empty treasury and great damage to the people's livelihood and a heavy burden on the people.

The domestic rule is unstable, and the imperial power is even more strange in secret. Abroad there were constant contradictions with the Persian Empire, and the Persian army was looting on the poisonous border, which made the people on the border even more miserable.

Dayu's border soldiers and horses took advantage of this opportunity to capture Bang Ge in one fell swoop, so that Dayu's soldiers and horses took a big step forward, and the army garrison advanced a lot of distances.

And the body is poisonous, internal and external troubles, and he can't take care of Bang Ge Ra's side for a while, and this time difference allows Dayu to leave enough time for Bang Ge Ra's rule.

The place where the Dayu army fell, the first to distribute the field, the local tyrants divided the land, this policy is adapted to the various areas, the people get benefits, can let them live a good life, they will not care who is ruled by above.

After settling the people, Dayu's officials will build a school in each town, forcing each village to select ten children over the age of six to go to school, learn Dayu's writing and official language, understand Dayu's history, cultivate patriotic feelings, and cultural transformation starts from the baby.

Only by teaching Xiao Miao according to what Dayu wants to teach, I believe that in the near future, Dayu's official language will be the lingua franca of the world, and these new people who join Dayu will recognize themselves as Dayu people from their hearts.

The government affairs of the two state capitals of Annan Dongwu have just been clarified, Dayu soldiers and horses have captured Bang Ge Ra, and the imperial court has sent officials to Bang Ge Ra, and Bang Ge Ra has also changed to Dayu's twilight moon state, why take the twilight moon, just because Bang Ge Ra was captured in the month of La, and in the last month of the year, it was renamed Twilight Moon State.

The railway to Annam Donggo and Twilight is also under construction, and only when the railway is opened can the information be better conveyed, and the decrees of the imperial court can be conveyed more quickly.

Dayu has a vast territory, and strengthening the imperial court's rule over the local area is also a top priority.

Li Chengmu has long had thoughts about body poison, and he heard from Xia Jing in the morning that body poison is rich in gold, and he really wants to be included in Dayu's territory as soon as possible.

Moreover, his brothers in this line have been divided, and he wants to attack the places closer to Dayu, and use them to divide his sons in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Chengmu sent the approved recitals to the various parts, and then got up and went to the harem.

Li Chengmu inherited the throne and was not exempt from vulgarity, and the harem did not say that there were three thousand beauties, but there were many of them.

In the past two years, although he has not drafted a girl, he has not refused the ladies sent to the palace by the officials, and the children have given birth to three sons and one daughter, and there are several pregnant women in the harem.

"The concubine has seen the emperor."

As soon as she walked into the queen's palace, the queen knelt on the ground with the palace people.

Li Chengmu walked up to the queen without stopping, bent down to help her up, and said helplessly: "No courtesy, you don't have to do such a big courtesy, why don't you listen to persuasion every time?" ”

"Etiquette cannot be abolished, concubines are exemplary in the harem."

The queen's father was nothing more than a little-known outsider in the Ministry of Rites.

And at that time, the queen selected by Li Chengmu, in addition to her family background, was also good looking, I don't know how many people were stunned at that time, and how many competitors were disrupted.

"Okay, I always can't talk about you, you always have a reason to refute me."

Li Chengmu didn't want to get too entangled in the trivial things in etiquette.

After sitting down, he glanced at the whole palace, and did not see his eldest prince, so he asked, "Where is the son?" ”

He hadn't woken up from his nap at this time, and he didn't know who his temper had followed, so he woke him up before he had slept enough, and he was about to get angry and cry loudly! It's hard for us to forcibly wake him up. ”

The queen is also very helpless, the child is young, and it doesn't make sense to be reasonable, but her temper is really big, and she is very angry when she gets up.

Li Chengmu heard the queen's rather disgusted tone, and shook his head: "A child can only grow up by sleeping more, and if he wants to sleep, you can let him sleep." ”

A child who is more than a year old, can you bear to forcibly wake him up?

The queen and other palace maids brought tea and snacks, observed his expression, and asked, "The emperor is busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, and he plans to dine here with the concubines and the emperor tonight?" ”

"I'm almost busy with political affairs, and I want to relax here with you."

"The concubine heard that the border has won another battle?"

This matter has been spread all over the world, and the queen is not afraid that the emperor will blame her for inquiring about state affairs.

Li Chengmu didn't think much about it, and just bowed his head when he heard the words: "Yes, the soldiers and horses stationed in Dongwu have already taken advantage of the fact that they are poisonous and have no time to separate, and they have a heavy army on the border of Banggara. ”

"Punggara?" The queen looked at him, this is the name of the newly captured place?

"Oh, it's called Twilight Moon State now, and officials will be sent to take it over in a few days." Li Chengmu explained.

The queen nodded, and then asked: "The border is heavily garrisoned, are you afraid of the poison coming back?" ”

"Poison counterattack?" Li Chengmu laughed as if he had heard a joke: "They are now taking care of themselves, the situation is similar to the original Huiyuan period, internal and external troubles, and we will rush all the refugees and remnants of Banggara to their country, I believe it will not be long before they will be in chaos." ”

If the body poison is also messed up, and when their country is almost exhausted, then they can take the opportunity to attack the body poison from the Twilight Moon State, the sea, and the Western Regions at the same time, and take them by surprise.

"What are the advantages of body poison that make the emperor always think about it?" The queen couldn't figure out how much time it would take to rule a country far away from the world, even if it was attacked, and it would take no telling how long it would take for the decree to be issued.

"I say there's gold all over there, can you believe it?" Li Chengmu raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"Gold everywhere?" The Empress looked at the Emperor in shock and asked in disbelief, "Gold everywhere, is that their country rich?" Can the people have no worries about food and clothing without labor? ”

"Poof!"

"Hahaha"

Li Chengmu couldn't help laughing, "How can you think the same as your father and the emperor at the beginning, even if you want to pick up the pie in the world, you have to bend down, a regime rules a place, how can the ruler allow the people to get something for nothing!" ”

Cannon fodder in troubled times, mules and horses in prosperous times, is the right way to open.

Li Chengmu saw that the queen was a little embarrassed by his laughter, so he stopped laughing: "These lands are far from related, and when my emperors grow up, they will all be divided out, and then I am afraid that the overseas territory will be too small." ”

When the queen heard this, she looked at the emperor and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let the harem give birth to so many children, won't it be just to divide the overseas and occupy the territory, right?" ”

Li Chengmu glanced at her in surprise, did not deny it, and still maintained a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

The queen seems to have learned some great secret, and when she sees the prince and princess of the harem again, and which palace is rumored to be pregnant with a dragon species, her state of mind has miraculously become peaceful.

No matter how many births are born in the harem, they will guard the domain for her son in the future, and it will not affect her son's status, and they won't feel in the way anymore.

To rule the newly acquired territory, the local army is indispensable, so the local conscription must continue, and the local conscription and the removal of hidden dangers in the Twilight State can be carried out in the same way.

Of course, there should be a gap between the proportion of soldiers and horses recruited locally and those of the imperial court, and the soldiers recruited locally should be scrambled into the imperial court's soldiers and horses, even if they are separately established, they cannot be too numerous.

Otherwise, when they master the army, they will be finished with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

When Beidi was strong, he killed the poisonous body from the Western Regions, and finally established the poisonous kingdom, and the royal family intermarried with the Turks, and only after generation did they have the mixed-blood emperor who is now poisonous.

For the internal strife of the poisonous kingdom and the invasion of foreign enemies, Dayu continued to watch coldly, and the armies of the three places were ready to send troops at any time, waiting for further changes in the situation.

Another point that Dayu people are proud of is that the weapons of Dayu's army have been upgraded.

The bullet upgrade of rifled guns has changed from the original round shape to the cylindrical shape of the front tip, and through this bullet upgrade, the accuracy and range of shooting have been greatly improved.

The production line of the arsenal also produced some of the most primitive arquebuses, as well as Hongyi cannons, which were sold in reverse to the Xiyi people, so that firearms could be purchased by several countries with weapons restrictions.

A large amount of gold and silver from the West flowed into Dayu's treasury.

With the use of firearms, the contradictions between several countries that were once at odds with each other have escalated, with the result that the borders of several countries have often gone alight, and the contradictions have tended to become more and more intense.

Dayu no matter what the situation in Europe is, they produce the weapons that Dayu eliminated to other countries, just to increase the revenue of the treasury.

And Europe was intervened by them, just like five wars and ten countries, you hit me, I hit him, and then he hit you, and the shells hit whoever they wanted, and for a time the land fell into a melee, and there was no time to take care of the overseas colonies in the eastern seas.

This is what Dayu is willing to see, they are fighting, for Dayu who sells weapons, the gold and silver earned from them can just change equipment for Dayu's army, and their weapons can be developed and upgraded.

——

In the Nanyang Islands, Xia Qingshan selected an island of several tens of square kilometers.

And Li Jingfu also chose an island of more than 100 square kilometers, and after choosing, he asked Xia Jing's opinion: "Xia, what do you think of this island?" ”

Xia Jing stood on the hill on the island, looking down at the lush vegetation of the island, and nodded: "Very good, if the construction keeps up, it is very suitable for retirement." ”

"Then where do you think my palace should be built?"

Xia Jing looked at him suspiciously: "Where you live, decide for yourself, my opinion is not important." ”

"Why doesn't it matter, you also want to make your own place to live a little more comfortable, right?" Li Jingfu had a headache when he saw her indifferent look.

"Huh?" Xia Jing could hear it at this moment, "You mean that I live on this island with you and become the owner of Peach Blossom Island?" ”

"That's right!" Li Jingfu nodded, although he didn't know what Peach Blossom Island meant, probably because she wanted to make this island Peach Blossom Island.

Xia Jing rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, and muttered, "You are not Guo Jing, and I am not Huang Rong."

Li Jingfu didn't hear what she said clearly, so he leaned closer and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Xia Jing pushed away his head, lacking interest: "It's nothing, if you want to live, you can live, my words, I may come to your island to have a look, but it is impossible to stay for a long time." ”

Li Jingfu listened to her words, and his heart tightened: "You don't live?" ”

Xia Jing picked a fruit from the tree beside her and threw it down the mountain, "Yes, when I go back, I plan to lead the army across the Red Sea, build a canal there, connect the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, and sit on the ground to collect tolls, how can I have time to spend here with you?" ”

Li Jingfu: "." You're ambitious!

However, for a while, Li Jingfu couldn't remember where the Red Sea was, and he had to go back to the ship to look at the map to find out.

Xia Jing looked at his indescribable expression and chuckled: "Don't be angry, I really don't have time to stay on the island and enjoy life, it's not bad if I come on vacation occasionally." ”

"When I sat on the dragon chair, how did you persuade me?" Li Jingfu frowned: "Now that I have put down the imperial power, but you can't let it go, your children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, fight the world and expand the territory for them to go, isn't it good for us to enjoy life according to our own wishes?" ”

Xia Jing found a big stone and sat down, and the wind blowing in front of her still carried the salty smell of the ocean.

"Do you know how important the Red Sea canal to the Mediterranean Sea is? It can connect important waterways between Asia and Europe, and with this canal, it will greatly shorten the trade between the Xiyi people and us."

Li Jingfu also sat down, looked back at the slaves who followed him, and saw that they were far enough away, so he lowered his voice and said: "I have no objection to conquering this area, I just want to say that these can let the children struggle, and we can enjoy our old age." ”

Xia Jing saw that his tone softened, and patiently explained: "In fact, living on an island, you may feel very novel at first, but after staying for a long time, you may get bored." And sometimes it is much more interesting to follow our Dayu elite to fight all over the world, you can see exotic scenery, travel the world's famous rivers, now I think about it, how much more interesting than living on this island with you. ”

Xia Jing's words were very inflammatory, if Li Jingfu was twenty years younger, maybe he would listen to her words and go to the Red Sea to fight the next day.

But at this time, Li Jingfu's age is here, there are many things he is already powerless, through this voyage, he knows his physical condition better, and things that are too tired are not suitable for him.

For example, marching and fighting, especially expeditions to foreign lands.

"Then I can't build this island?"

Xia Jing said happily: "Build, there are many benefits to building this island, not only occupies the territory, you can come to live if you want to, I am bored in other places, you can also come here for a vacation, or accompany you to take a walk on the beach to watch the sunrise and sunset, go to catch the sea on the fifteenth day of the new year, in fact, there is nothing to do, it should be very fun here." ”

Hearing her say this, Li Jingfu's depressed mood was no less, and his interest was also raised, "Hearing you say this, I have to occupy this island." ”

"If you are short of money, you can mention it to me!"

Xia Jing glanced at Li Jingfu, but unfortunately he was already an old bacon, and he couldn't get through it in his heart.

Li Jingfu noticed Xia Jing's eyes, which made him a little baffled, thinking that she was reluctant to give out the money, so she just talked about it, so he asked, "What?" If I really lack money, are you really willing to support? ”

"When does my words stop counting?" Xia Jing asked angrily.
