Chapter 276: The Empress

(Thank you for your support.) The third update, a 6,000-word chapter. )

Hiro Mako hovered beside the giant ship and looked silently, compared to the steel giant ship with a height of more than ten meters and a length of more than a hundred meters, he looked very small. He holds a steel chisel and prepares the inscription.

Zhang Hao watched with Mingxu Daoist on the side.

After a while, Hiroko probably finished measuring and began to engrave. But I saw the steel chisel rubbing sparks on the steel armor of the giant ship, accompanied by a cacophony of noise. This huge ship made entirely of steel is hard beyond imagination. Even Hiroko is a little struggling.

The most important thing is that the lettering is not a sabotage, which also adds a lot of difficulty.

But Hong Zhenzi is worthy of being in the stage of the transformation of the gods, and it seems that he is also a master of the late stage of the transformation of the gods, and soon three powerful fonts of almost one meter in size appeared above the waterline:

Zhiyuan!

After carving on one side, he flew to the other side and carved again. In the end, Hong Zhenzi flew in front of Zhang Hao and said with some emotion: "It's so hard steel." This material does not need to be processed, and its hardness is already comparable to the hardness of Lingbao itself. If you add post-processing, it must be extraordinary. ”

As she spoke, Hiroko slipped the steel chisel into her storage space.

Zhang Hao: ......

Then Zhang Hao silently turned his head to look at Feng Zhiling next to him. Today's Feng Zhiling is too honest, since he left Guangling City, Feng Zhiling has hardly spoken, and seems to be trying his best to reduce his sense of existence. This made Zhang Hao very curious. When did this senior brother of mine become so quiet?

"Look at what!" Feng Zhiling suddenly waited for Zhang Hao's look, and then suddenly reacted, "Senior brother, I also gave you two wooden figures carved from Shenyin wood pith before, and I remember that they are worth 100,000 high-grade spirit stones." Settle the score, senior brother, I've been a little tight lately!"

Zhang Hao: ......

Today, this Feng Zhiling is obviously wrong. Wait, that Hong Zhenzi's performance is exactly the same as Feng Zhiling, isn't it...... What does it matter?

Oops, remembered. This Hong Zhenzi Master is the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, and Feng Zhiling is a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall. Hey, it's not like a family doesn't enter the door!

"Smack!" Hong Zhenzi came over, facing Feng Zhiling is the back of the head, "That little wooden man grabbed a wisp of divine thought from the head of Dingshan Dao, and he made great contributions." Do you want spirit stones now, or do you want sect contributions?"

"Oh, of course it's the sect's contribution!"

Zhang Hao: You pair of treacherous masters and apprentices.

After Hong Zhenzi slapped Feng Zhiling, he came to Zhang Hao to face money: "The little guy is good." This steel giant ship was a real eye-opener for me. When are you going to set sail?"

"Returning to my uncle, it is expected that the giant ship will take more than ten days. Then there is the training of sailors, captains, etc. This time is less certain. It is necessary to ensure that they can fully control Zhang Hao's steel behemoth before they can set sail. But I don't think it will take a few days. During this period of time, there have been many guards of the Zhang family practicing at sea. ”

When Hiroko got out of the barrier, he saw several wooden ships and a small ironclad ship on the sea in front of him, and everyone was practicing on them. Dugu Junjie was soaked all over his body at this time, and there was a layer of salt on the surface of his clothes, but he still commanded everyone to train.

Hiroko nodded, "Where was your first target?"

"The first goal is relatively simple, we have to find one that is relatively easy and easy to achieve. Therefore, our first voyage plan is to prepare to go south along the coastline, passing through the land of Danyang, the country of Canglan, and finally arriving at the Emerald Sea in the south of the Fertile Earth Continent.

We will try to intercept merchant ships from the East at sea and complete the deal at sea.

And the specific plot of the transaction still has to wait for the intelligence of the East. We have sent someone to the east to investigate. ”

Hiro Mako nodded, "Yes, the first goal is relatively easy to achieve." If you're just going south along the coast, you should have no problem.

When are you going to look for the Nine Immortal Mountains overseas?"

Zhang Hao thought for a while before saying: "I think so, we must first cultivate a group of outstanding talents, and after having five giant ships, we are ready to try to march south, directly cross the Green Sea of Death, and open up a route with the Fertile Earth Continent from the sea."

This is considered a further adventure and experimentation, accumulating experience.

After this success, we will start looking for the overseas Nine Immortal Mountains.

When...... It could be three or five years, or more than a decade, or even longer.

After all, no one has been able to explore the green sea of death for tens of thousands of years before, and I dare not say that I will succeed now.

But don't worry, no matter how many difficulties there are, I won't give up!"

"Good! very good!" Hong Zhenzi patted Zhang Hao's shoulder vigorously, and he looked quietly into the distance, as if he was also immersed in the future voyage. "When I was very young, I dreamed that one day I might be able to cross the sea of death. But then I realized that it was difficult.

Although the Transformation Period is powerful, it is so small when it comes to the vast sea.

There is no place to stand, and there are dangerous sea monsters everywhere. Those powerful sea monsters will even hunt down the masters of the human race, just like we hunt and kill the demon race. And it's in groups, and it's hard to kill.

I once had to die almost nine times to escape from the siege.

On the sea, we can only continue to consume and it is difficult to replenish.

But if you can have a steel giant ship as a foothold...... Maybe it will be a lot better.

It's just that the largest sea monster I've ever seen is bigger than a giant ship. Such a giant ship was like a big toy in front of those sea monsters. Hardly of much use. ”

Zhang Hao looked at the tumbling sea in the distance and said softly: "So, the Zhiyuan is just a beginning. My goal is to create a real land and sea building!"

"Work hard! Believe that you can do it. You are still young, and you only have the foundation period. And our yearning for the other side of the ocean has been longing for tens of thousands of years, and there will be nothing to wait for a few decades or hundreds of years. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Shi. ”

Hong Zhenzi nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly took out a book from the storage ring: "This is for you, it is very difficult to sail on the sea, especially to discern the direction."

There is no reference on the vast sea, and if you encounter foggy weather, continuous rainy days, etc., your eyes are even more vast.

You can take a look at this book of "Astrology" to see if you can understand it. I got this book of "Astrology" when I traveled to the Kunlun Continent in the East.

In the East, all sea vessels had an 'astrologer' who relied on the astrology to navigate the ship. I heard that a good astrologer with a compass can guide the ship to the right course, even if it is cloudy all the way.

In the East, the status of an excellent astrologer is no worse than that of the incarnation period!"

"Astrologer?" Zhang Hao silently read two terms, took the book handed over by Hong Zhenzi with both hands, and opened it.

This book is very ordinary, but it is recorded on ordinary paper, and it looks like it is still woodblock printed. The above content made Zhang Hao frown a little.

This astronomical technique is obviously an astronomical material in the cultivation world, but this kind of astronomical material is difficult to understand, because it uses a lot of "non-mainstream" terms.

Seven Politics, Beidou, Nandou, Twenty-eight Constellations, Sanyuan, Tianshi, Division, etc., as well as leap months, chronicles, chronicles, chronicles, and so on.

Except for the North Star above, which can be seen a little, the rest of the eyes are confused.

Zhang Hao looked at it for a while, and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Shi, do you have any friends here who can lead the stars, wait, help introduce me." ”

"Haha......" Hiroko laughed.

Zhang Hao asked cautiously, "Could it be that Uncle Shi really has it here?"

"Nope!"

...... "Then what are you doing laughing so loudly?"

I heard Hong Zhenzi say with a smile: "Actually, people who can pull stars are easy to find." Once you've completed your first voyage and can stop the merchant ships of the East on the Emerald Sea, you'll be able to go up and dig into the wall.

As far as I know, many astrologers who know how to draw on astrology want to go to the open sea to have a look. However, it is difficult to achieve his wish for a variety of reasons.

Traditional sea boats, all made of wood. According to you, the center of gravity of traditional sea vessels is floating on the sea. Such a ship went to the sea and was not stable. Even if the boat is very large, when it encounters strong winds and waves, there is still the possibility of capsizing.

Moreover, wooden boats are inherently light, and when the ship reaches the sea, it needs to use a large number of sandbags to press the boat.

I'm sure as long as you show the well...... The strength of Zhiyuan will definitely be recommended by an astrologer!"

Zhang Hao's eyes gradually brightened. "Well, then, I'll make sure to make the first voyage as soon as possible!"

"I'm with the boat!" said the head of the Ming Void Dao suddenly.

"Master, you ......" Zhang Hao was a little surprised and surprised for a while.

Mingxu Daoist smiled, "I've wanted to sail on the sea for a long time, but I haven't had a chance. Now that it's the time to become a god, maybe it's time to take a look around.

If you see it everywhere, it's good for cultivation. If I have the opportunity in the future, I hope to explore the overseas Nine Immortals Mountain.

The ancestors left me the "Elephant of the Bracket", and I, a descendant, must at least go on behalf of the ancestors!"

............

After a busy day, Hong Zhenzi and Mingxu Daochang stayed at Zhang's house in the evening. In the evening, Zhang Hao took Zhou Xueyao to meet the two elders.

Now, the Zhang family has completed the ceremony with Xinglintang, and Zhou Xueyao is already Zhang Hao's fiancée. Just wait for Zhang Hao to achieve the Jindan period, and then choose an auspicious day to get married.

And Zhou Xueyao has been living in the Zhang family for a period of time and is responsible for technical research in chemistry, and her name has been determined, but she has also begun to be generous. For example, tonight he was dragged by Zhang Hao to meet the elders.

Hong Zhenzi and Mingxu Daochang were very happy. Especially Mingxu Daochang, it's like looking at his daughter-in-law. Moreover, the head of Mingxu Dao lives in the country of Qixia all the year round, and of course he understands the influence and contribution of Xinglin Hall, so he is very enthusiastic about Zhou Xueyao.

After Zhou Xueyao gave tea to the two elders, Mingxu Daoist gave Zhou Xueyao a teleportation talisman, which is the so-called life-saving talisman. and pointed out Zhou Xueyao's practice.

And Hong Zhenzi took out a piece of 'Lingming Jade Pendant', "As long as you wear the jade on your body, you can always keep your mind clear, and it has the effect of preventing you from going crazy." It is very helpful for you to study pills and so on. ”

Next to him, Senior Brother Feng was unwilling to be lonely again. "Uncle Shi, Zhou Xueyao doesn't study pills now, she studies explosives. The gunpowder you see today is what Zhou Xueyao studied. ”

Zhang Hao: ......

Zhou Xueyao: ......

"Hehe......" Hiro Mako looked embarrassed, he laughed dryly for a while, and said dryly, "Explosives are also good, and they are used in national defense to save people." ”

Feng Zhiling seemed to have something to say, but this time Haohong Zhenzi couldn't help it, so he hurriedly stopped and asked Feng Zhiling to pour tea for himself.

Senior Brother Feng Zhiling still didn't stop thinking when he poured the tea, he muttered, "Senior Uncle Ancestor, have you seen the lake in front of Guangling City like a scar, let me tell you, when retreating that day, more than 300 tons of explosives buried underground rushed into the sky at once, and 1780,000 people ......"

Zhang Hao's face was not good-looking, and this senior brother decisively dropped the chain at a critical moment. Zhou Xueyao's face was even more pale.

For Zhou Xueyao, she has always wanted to be a doctor who treats diseases and saves people, but the reality forced Zhou Xueyao to make some helpless choices. But Feng Zhiling's thoughts here are a little sad.

Zhou Xueyao sat for a while and then got up and said goodbye, saying that she still had an experiment to complete.

"Hey, why are you leaving?" Feng Zhiling looked surprised—this guy didn't know how lethal his mouth was.

"Shut up for me!" Hiroshi Mako couldn't bear it anymore, "Do you know how many of your senior brothers want to beat you in the back! I've heard these words several times, and I don't want to talk to you." You stinky mouth, when can you change it!"

Feng Zhiling blinked suspiciously: "Senior Uncle Ancestor, I just want to introduce you to Zhou Xueyao." I admire her, really. ”

Hiroko sneered, "I think she'll put a few tons of explosives in your place tonight." You have to be careful when you sleep tonight. ”

Feng Zhiling blinked, snorted a few times and stopped talking.

During dinner, Zhou Xueyao didn't show up - in fact, before they got married, they couldn't be together.

Zhang Shengde Zhang Shengye met with Hong Zhenzi and Mingxu Daoist, and Zhang Hao's mother also came out to meet and left. However, Hong Zhenzi and Mingxu Dao Chang gave Zhang Hao's mother several pills. According to them, these pills will definitely be able to break through the Golden Pill Stage.

Hong Zhenzi checked it and concluded that Zhang Hao's mother suffered a lot when she was a child, which caused the foundation to not be very good. These few pills can greatly replenish the foundation. Not to say perfect, but at least it should be enough to support until the breakthrough of the meta-infancy. In this way, it can also have a relatively long life.

When you have thousands of years of life in your infancy, you will have time to slowly reshape your foundation.

............

Time passed quietly for five days, and in these five days, Hong Zhenzi and Mingxu Daoist had already left, and they went to Cuizhu Peak's Zixu Guan to live temporarily, which was originally the dojo of Mingxu Daoist.

And in the past five days, the entire country of Qixia has been surging. The news of the election of Liu Xinyu as the empress has been flying all over the sky.

The Zhangjia and Dayang Group are making efforts here, and the military is also making efforts.

Dayang Group is the simplest and has the most extensive influence. In the past few days, as Liu Xinyu has continued to finalize some new laws, Dayang Group and related industrial and commercial classes have begun to support Liu Xinyu.

The industrial and commercial class needs a new social status, and Liu Xinyu can just do that. In particular, the first article of the new law turned out to be: the legal property of individuals is sacrosanct.

Don't look at this as a simple sentence, but it is this sentence that completely changes the state of the country of Qixia.

In the past, it was the land of the whole world! The emperor was rich in the whole country! After this law, the rights of the emperor were completely restricted.

Of course, the reason why Liu Xinyu agreed was also to understand - although the emperor was rich in the past, many times the emperor's rights had to compromise with the family. The so-called rich country is just a good-sounding nonsense.

But nonsense also represents the 'structure' of rights.

Perhaps Liu Xinyu's rights have not changed "in substance" for the time being, but in essence they have changed. The rights of the emperor were restricted.

It's just that Liu Xinyu happily agreed. For this new law, she and Zhang Hao discussed for a long time.

Liu Xinyu accepted Zhang Hao's suggestion.

She has a mind that many traditional emperors can't match, as well as ...... Ambition!

In short, because of the efforts of Dayang Group, the industrial and commercial class across the country is enthusiastic, and everyone begins to support Liu Xinyu in their own way. Don't underestimate the industrial and commercial classes, who have direct contact with the common people and the upper classes. The impact is huge.

The second is the military. In this war, the military's support for Liu Xinyu is unquestionable. Victory is the best reason. Not to mention that there is also a Wu Fanghai to guide everyone.

And in order to gain the support of the military, Liu Xinyu rewarded him very generously. Most of the wealth collected from Guangling City was rewarded. Even those weapons and armor that originally belonged to the country of Jinyang were sold to mercenaries, merchants, etc. at low prices, and many of them flowed into the country of Danyang, the country of Zhoushan in the north, and so on.

Most of the spirit stones that sell weapons and armor are also rewarded to soldiers.

The industrial and commercial class and the military alone have given Liu Xinyu the support of most of the country.

The second is the people's speech, which can be ignored. Because this is the world of cultivation, in this world, those who cultivate below the sixth layer of the Qi refining period are ignored. This is a characteristic of the world of spiritual practice.

In the end, the rest is the family, etc.

Although Liu Xinyu carried out a major purge of the whole country, many families and sects still survived. Some of them didn't have time to surrender to the country of Jinyang, and some of them were indeed loyal to the country of Qixia.

In addition, there are places such as Xingchang County, Nanyang County, and Ninghe County that have not been captured by the country of Jinyang, and there are still many families remaining.

These families were very resistant to Liu Xinyu's crazy slaughter. In this regard, many of them expressed their silence, and there were even rumors spreading secretly:

Liu Xinyu killed his brother and seized power!

And this time the rumors are even more excessive, Liu Xinyu not only killed the eldest brother, but also killed the second brother, this is a femme fatale, if she ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, then don't kill the whole country!

Not to mention, for many people, they believed!

In fact, most of the people are ignorant, and they don't analyze the reasonableness. And for the families that have existed nearby for hundreds or thousands of years, they believe even more. Because in the past, the laws of the empire did not control the sphere of influence of the family, and it still is.

And for these families, Liu Xinyu couldn't continue to kill. If you continue to kill, the country of Qixia will be empty. And it's scary. After all, there is no clear treason on the part of these people.

It's just that the dying struggles of these families have not shaken Liu Xinyu's determination.

Five days passed, and Liu Xinyu received support from the military, as well as from the emerging class and the industrial and commercial class.

Many of the new industrial and commercial classes have also transitioned from small and medium-sized families in the past, and they have also mastered a lot of talents.

The most important thing is that the industrial and commercial class has money! In the past, everyone had no power, and they were desperately trying to make money. Now, it's finally time to spend your money.

For the sake of his social status, under the guidance of Zhang Hao and the Dayang Group, a shameful act appeared: bribery!

Throwing a lot of wealth, including assisting in the reconstruction of the post-war region, distributing food, salt, treating the wounded, etc., the industrial and commercial class quickly gained the recognition of the whole society.

Even around Guangling City, the people have 'forgotten' about the disaster - in fact, most of the people who died were nobles, and ordinary people lived outside the city, and the disaster really had little to do with them.

And the industrial and commercial class restored social order so quickly, showing their ability and responsibility, which made Liu Xinyu more recognized.

In contrast, the traditional family has played its stinginess to the fullest, and has gradually been marginalized.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, on the south side of the ruins of Guangling City, on a temporarily built high platform, a building that can be called a simple pavilion, which can only be regarded as a pavilion, Liu Xinyu slowly appeared.

Today's Liu Xinyu wears the crown that has been inherited from the country of Qixia, and a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg on the crown is shining.

But unlike the emperor's golden gown, Liu Xinyu wore a black gown with red lines, and the lines on the gown were not a golden dragon, but a flame phoenix. Graceful, atmospheric, noble, and a little mystical beauty.

Liu Xinyu slowly came to the high platform and looked down at the earth.

Surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers, more than a million people, and a new class of industry and commerce, everyone was shouting: Long live the Empress!

There is no ritual to worship the heavens, and there is no prayer to the emperor. There are no traditional ceremonies.

It's a fresh start and a farewell to the past.

Liu Xinyu stood quietly, with indescribable excitement in her eyes. Although I have thought about it countless times, today I finally stood here and enjoyed the cheers of the crowd.

The cheers were like the waves of the sea, and they swept over the ruins of Guangling City, over the fields of golden harvest, over the mountains with fallen leaves, and spread to the entire country of Qixia. Perhaps it won't be long before this voice spreads to the west of the Fertile Continent and even to the whole world!

On this day, in the westernmost part of the Fertile Land Continent, in this country where the legendary sunset returns, there is a flaming phoenix, reborn from the fire.

High in the air, Liu Dingshan, Hongxuanzi, and Mingxu Dao watched quietly. There was emotion and shock in their eyes.

Millions of people shouted in unison, something that almost most emperors in the past could not do.

The cheers slowly subsided for a long time, and Prime Minister Zhao Duo came to the steps at Liu Xinyu's feet, unfolded the holy decree with black phoenix patterns, and read it out loud, and the voice of the Yuan Infant reverberated in heaven and earth:

"Fortune is normal, and its life is renewed. Jiji Duoshi, civil and military Dingbang.

Empress Mumu, whose name is Xinde. ”
