Autumn goes to winter...

Winter goes to spring!

The earth recovers, and everything grows.

Outside the harbor of Haicheng on the shore of the Yellow Sea, there are hundreds of large ships moored, and the treasure ships are so huge that they look like mountains, so that everyone who sees them is shocked in their hearts, and there are as many as ten such huge ships.

Outside, there are sixty tooth boats, which are not small, 50 meters long, and the masts are full of sails.

The smallest building boats, with a body length of 30 meters, were once the largest ships in Great Qin, but now compared to these two ships, they have become much weaker.

Countless people have gathered on the docks, and people are moving countless supplies to these big ships little by little like ants, and at the same time, countless craftsmen, women, and children are boarding the ships.

Lu Pheasant has a detailed plan for personnel arrangement, such as the most important craftsmen, who are basically scattered on ten treasure ships, even if they encounter an accident in the wind and waves at sea, they can also ensure that a certain technology will not be cut off and the army will not be wiped out.

Jiang Hao was very satisfied with this kind of detail arrangement.

In the mansion, all Jiang Hao's henchmen came, Lu Pheasant, Su Su, and Yu Shu sat next to him, flanked by Xiao He, Cao Shen, Lu Zhou, Han Zhong, Ji Bu, Lu Xin, Lu Shizhi and others.

Jiang Hao is listening to their report, now is the final preparation, tomorrow, the fleet will set off to start their endless sea journey, which will be the largest voyage in the history of mankind.

"There are 6,000 guards, more than 6,500 craftsmen, more than 10,000 sailors, more than 18,000 female slaves, more than 4,000 slaves, more than 12,000 orphaned men, and more than 15,000 orphaned women, totaling more than 71,500 people."

"There are hundreds of seeds of all kinds, and a total of 320,000 stones of grain are carried, which is enough for us to eat for more than two years."

"There are 2,000 horses, with one male and three females, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks, donkeys, camels, sika deer, pigeons, quails and other poultry and domestic animals, about 300 or 500 at most, and 30 or 40 at the least."

"Other supplies are ready, and now 70,000 people are boarding the ship one after another, and they will sleep on the ship tonight."

"Also, the sacrifice at sea tomorrow has been arranged."

Listening to the reports, Jiang Hao nodded and said, "We are going to leave Daqin tomorrow, and I don't know when we will be able to come back." After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he looked at Lu Gong and said: "Lu Gong, the salt farm in Haicheng will be handed over to you, I have already sent a letter to Your Majesty, and the Lu family can continue to operate in the future, of which the palace accounts for seventy percent of the shares, and the Lu family has three percent." ”

Lu Gong is now always glad that the Lu family can climb Jiang Hao, the salt farm is thirty percent profitable, and it won't be long before the Lu family can become a rich family in the world, what else is he not satisfied with, and there are royal shares in it, and this money is more at ease.

Following.

early morning

There is still this layer of mist on the sea, and before the sun climbs out of the sea, thousands of people gathered on the Haicheng wharf, and some people who went to sea also came to see them off, including the county guard of Donghai County and the county commander of Haicheng County.

Jiang Hao wore a Taoist robe, walked to the altar step by step, lit the sacrificial text in his hand, and prayed sincerely facing the sea.

suddenly

Someone screamed and pointed to the sea and shouted, "Look, the clouds are flying, do you want a long dragon?" ”

Everyone looked at it, and saw that among the clouds and mist on the sea, it seemed that there was really a dragon flying, shuttling in the clouds and mist, and then leaping towards the sky, and the dragon's head pierced to the south.

Many people were shocked by this scene, and Jiang Hao was also surprised, could it indicate that the sea dragon had made a trip and his destination was the south?

It seems to be true.

After the sacrifice, Jiang Hao came to the Donghai County Shou and said, "Yan Junshou, I left something for Your Majesty, which is very important, and I also ask Yan Junshou to send it to Your Majesty." ”

Jiang Hao took out two scrolls from his arms and handed them to the other party, and Yan Junshou respectfully took them, "Your subordinates must complete the instructions of the national teacher and personally send the things to Your Majesty." ”

One of these two scrolls is about the regional map of the peninsula and the water lines of the ocean waters and several large rivers, and Jiang Hao's intentions are self-evident.

As for the other copy, it is a map of Asia, and I think the First Emperor would like it very much when he saw it.

Turning around and glancing at the hundreds of people and the land of Daqin behind him, Jiang Hao bowed and saluted, worshipping this heaven and this land, and then waved his hand and said, "Everyone board the boat, let's go." ”

Jiang Hao and the others began to board the ship, Lu Pheasant and Su Su stood in front of Lu Gong and his brother with tears in their eyes, Lu Gong was also full of tears, and several people knew that this difference might be goodbye.

But even if they are reluctant, they will eventually leave, and after everyone boarded the big ship, they stood on the deck and waved.

The big ship slowly left the harbor and sailed into the vast sea, and after a long time, there was no longer anyone on the shore, and there were countless people standing on the deck, looking at the land that gave birth to them.

"Come on, let's go to the hall, I have something to tell you." Jiang Hao said to everyone, and everyone knew that Jiang Hao must have something important to announce, so they immediately followed.

The main cabin of the treasure ship was very wide, and after everyone knelt down and sat down, Jiang Hao looked at these Wenchen generals under his command and said: "This time we went to sea, our purpose is to find the elixir of life for Your Majesty, and go overseas to find the immortal island, but I want to tell you now that there is no immortal island overseas, and there is no elixir of life." ”

The hall is full of real people, and they have already gone to sea, Jiang Hao is ready to tell them the truth, so that they can be prepared.

"Are there immortals in this world?"

"Maybe, but the immortals are not on the Immortal Island of Xianshan, nor can mortals find them, and they are not in the same latitude as us."

"Maybe you don't understand the word latitude very well, but to put it simply, immortals live in the fairy world, and the fairy world and the world we live in are not the same world."

"Only when we really cultivate to become immortals and ascend to the immortal realm will we see real immortals, otherwise we won't be able to see them."

Everyone in the hall kept nodding, and they were still relatively easy to accept Jiang Hao's statement.

"Then why are we going out?" After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he looked at a few people in the hall, and he didn't need them to answer, and continued: "The Great Qin Qi is not exhausted, the First Emperor is like the sun at this time, but I also have expectations for the future in my heart, I am now the Great Qin National Teacher, Taoism is the state religion, it has reached the peak, I am afraid that going further will be a downhill road." ”

"The people of Great Qin say that I am an immortal, if Taoism really develops too much, it will inevitably affect the royal rule, and at that time, the first emperor to suppress me is me, what do you think?"

No one here is a fool, as soon as Jiang Hao said it, everyone also realized the crisis, even if the First Emperor was favoring Jiang Hao, he would not let him shake the foundation of his rule.

"So it's very simple, I chose to go out and develop and find a place to survive overseas, in fact, His Majesty also saw my intentions, and I didn't want to eventually develop to the point where I had to oppose each other.

"I have recruited people in the country, and Your Majesty has not hindered it, it is for this reason, and there is compensation, compensating me for teaching His Majesty the method of cultivating immortals and my contribution to Daqin."

People here can now understand Jiang Hao's choice, in fact, it is indeed a good choice to think about it.

"Does the lord have a plan for our place to stay?" Xiao He asked.

Jiang Hao smiled and said to Ji Bu, "Ji Bu, open that curtain." ”

Everyone saw a bamboo curtain hanging on the bulkhead, Ji Bu quickly got up and opened the bamboo curtain, and then slowly lowered it, and everyone was surprised to find that in front of them was a huge mountain and geographical map.

Jiang Hao pointed to the map and said, "Have you seen this, this is Daqin." ”

Everyone was extremely surprised, and Lu Pheasant asked, "Da Qin, why is it so small?" There's so much more out there! ”

Indeed, the current Great Qin is only three million square kilometers, and it is not even as large as the territory of the Xiongnu, the entire Asia is 44.579 million square kilometers, and the current Great Qin is less than one-tenth, so it is enough for Jiang Haojue's Great Qin to toss here.

"This world is very vast, so big that it is beyond your imagination, I am ready to find a place overseas to build a country, and you will be the founding father." Jiang Hao said.

Hearing Jiang Hao say that he was preparing to build a country, although the people in the cabin had already thought of it, but when it came out of Jiang Hao's mouth, they still felt excited.

If the lord really wants to build a country, then they can form a real family in the future, maybe for a hundred generations.

Jiang Hao ignored their excitement and continued: "As for the place, I have already chosen", Jiang Hao said, his finger went all the way south on the map, and finally stopped at a large island with a vast area, and said: "The area of this island is almost twice the size of the current Great Qin, the land is vast, and it is surrounded by the sea, which is a very suitable place for development. ”

Everyone looked at the big island, and their hearts became eager, twice as big as Great Qin, how much land did they get.

The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, Ji Bu got up and knelt down and said: "Lord, the minister is willing to expand the territory for you, no matter how powerful the enemy is in this land, Bu is willing to defeat him for you." ”

Han Zhong and Lu Xin also knelt on the ground, "Serve the Lord and conquer the big island." ”

Listening to the words of the three generals of allegiance, Jiang Hao laughed, "Maybe you don't know, on this island, there are almost no enemies who can stop us, only a few uncivilized savages, and you can imagine their combat effectiveness." ”

"Maybe your worst enemies are wild animals, snakes, crocile, lizards, or whatever." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Several people immediately looked at each other.

Su Su asked curiously, "Lang Jun, why is there no one in such a big place, is this a barren land?" ”

Jiang Hao shook his head, "There are deserts and rainforests here, it is by no means barren land, the bigger reason is the geographical problem, this is not something that can be explained in one or two sentences, in short, we will have a difficult sea voyage, I estimate that it may take four or five months for us to get here." ”

"I think anyone who can have such a big piece of land in four or five months and then build an independent country is willing to endure this." Lu Zhou, who has not spoken much, said.

Hahahaha!

Everyone in the hall laughed.
