After a few days of trekking, Taiyi Gate, or the current Taiyi Kingdom, a delegation represented by Mingzhi Zhenren finally arrived at its destination this morning.

This place was the border that once belonged to the Shao State, but now it belonged to the Shang Dynasty. However, there is no complete infrastructure here yet, there are only a few border camps and a simple airport. Fortunately, there is a barely available railway here, which is not completely remote.

Seeing the bright yellow upper part of the city wall, the dark blue lower part, and the square flag with purple Big Dipper on it, then look at the unique military deployment and the soldiers dressed up. Ming Zhi Zhenren knew that he had finally reached his goal.

The group immediately stepped forward, came to the Great Wall of the border, and sent people to come forward and shouted loudly: "The envoy of Taiyi Kingdom wants to see the wise king."

The soldiers immediately looked over and saw that there was no huge army around, only a team of dozens of people, and they came forward to visit in a regular manner, immediately shouting: "Wait a minute, I will notify the general."

After a while, a general in the Nascent Soul stage came forward and had a brief conversation with Zhenren Mingzhi, and then the switch was turned on and released.

In fact, Zhenren Mingzhi is a master of the God Transformation Stage. If you really want to attack, it doesn’t matter whether you can open the city gate. Therefore, after the border generals determined the other party’s purpose, they welcomed Zhenren Mingzhi and his group in.

At the same time, the general had contacted Anyang City through satellites. In less than five minutes, Anyang City gave a reply: "Send the plane now and arrive at noon."

Arrived at noon? Mingzhi Zhenren secretly considered the situation of the Shang Kingdom. From Anyang to the western border of Yuan Shao Kingdom, there were almost 10,000 kilometers. It arrived in three hours. This speed was very fast, almost the speed of the Nascent Soul master flying at full speed; but the Shang Kingdom could transport troops at this speed...

It's terrible to think about it.

At this time, the general seemed to have a random statement: "By the way, senior, now we have changed our name to the 'Shang Dynasty', and the name of the Shang Kingdom is no longer used."

"Shang Dynasty?" Zhenren Mingzhi frowned slightly. As a smart person, Zhenren Mingzhi would never look at the superficial meaning. The Shang Kingdom was renamed the Shang Dynasty. What changed is not just a noun, but the essence is the real change!

"Is it strong enough to never hide my ambitions anymore?" Zhenren Mingzhi thought. "It seems that this mission will not go too smoothly."

The plane arrived at 10:00 noon. The first time I saw such a huge artificial flying object, Zhenren Mingzhi was also a little surprised. When he arrived at the Anyang City Lord's Mansion at 3:00 in the afternoon, Zhenren Mingzhi was only amazed.

"I finally understand why the two emperors of the Shang Dynasty could fight against Cai State and Wu State fled in a panic. This technique is a miracle. If all the soldiers of the Shang Dynasty had this one-tenth of excitement, the entire East of Yingzhou would not be able to escape the clutches of the Shang Dynasty!"

Of course, Mingzhi Zhenren could only sigh in his heart and could not say these words.

Li Xian met Mingzhi in the conference hall. Li Xian and others were deeply impressed by the words "Taiyi Sect".

But after the meeting, the ceremony was over, before Li Xian could speak, Ming Zhi Zhenren took the lead and said, "I will be worshipped by the King of Virtue again. There are two main things for this envoy.

The first thing is that the Taiyi Sect officially expelled "Zhengde (Master)".

Zhengde ignored the laws and regulations of the sect and even undermined the unity of the human race. After discussion, Taiyi Sect decided to officially expel Zhengde.

Taiyi Sect was completely unaware of what Zhengde did. Fortunately, the Shang Dynasty took action in time and killed this person, so that it did not lead to a big mistake, and it saved Taiyi Sect's reputation for millions of years. For this reason, Taiyi Sect gave a gift to express his gratitude."

After saying that, a disciple next to Mingzhi stepped forward, holding a small tray in his hand, covered with red gauze, and seemed to have three objects the size of a fist on it.

Li Xian frowned slightly and looked at Xu Ren, Li Yuanming, Yan Ze'an and others. Everyone hesitated for a while, and after looking at each other for a few times, they all nodded.

In this way, Li Xiancai ordered Yuan Yun to accept it. Wang Cong, who was originally beside Li Xian, has now begun to plan a mission to Dongsheng Shenzhou.

The thing was taken over and put it aside for the time being, and it was not watched.

On this side, Ming Zhi Zhenren said: "There is another thing. The Taiyi Sect has officially changed into Taiyi Kingdom. I also came on behalf of Taiyi Kingdom and wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the Shang Dynasty."

Li Xian immediately smiled and said, "Welcome, the Shang Dynasty is willing to make friends from all directions, as long as it is sincere!"

As long as you are sincere... many of us have already destroyed the unsincere, you have to hear it clearly!

The corners of Mingzhi's mouth twitched a few times, and understood what Li Xian said; finally, he squeezed out a smile and started negotiations.

In the Zhao country in the central part of Yingzhou, in the study, the Emperor of Zhao was silent for a long time when he looked at the newspaper in his hand.

There are many newspapers here, but the Emperor of Zhao picked out almost all the newspapers marked with the words "Ji Buxian". The latest newspaper was five days ago and was a report on the launch of the Shang Dynasty's lunar exploration rocket.

At this time, in the study, several think tanks from Zhao were looking at each other. When the newspaper was delivered this morning, everyone was silent.

There are many reasons for silence. First, did Ji Buxian treason? Second, the Shang Dynasty is developing and changing faster and faster now. It is obvious that the Shang Dynasty said that it would use flying machinery to send people to ascend, which is not just an empty talk. It is already obvious. Third, what does the Shang Dynasty mean to use Ji Buxian so much?

According to the Shang Dynasty's external saying, it was said that it was to attach importance to Ji Buxian's leadership; but none of the Zhao monarchs and ministers believed this. No fool would believe this sentence! The Shang Dynasty is full of talents, so it would be meaningless to have one more Ji Buxian.

In silence, the Secretary of State Liang Fangwei said: "Your Majesty, I believe Ji Buxian will not treason, I believe Ji Buxian's character.

As for why the Shang Dynasty attached so much importance to Ji Buxian, I think there are several possibilities:

First, the Shang Dynasty wanted to show its importance to talents through this, which was a huge sum of money to buy horse bones. The people we ordered to rest were valued by the Shang Dynasty and invisibly influenced our reputation.

Second, the Shang Dynasty expressed the friendly relations between Shang and Zhao through this; at least in the eyes of outsiders, the fact that the Secretary of the Zhao State, Ji Buxian, was able to personally participate in the most cutting-edge scientific exploration of the Shang Dynasty, undoubtedly showed that the relationship between our two countries was harmonious.

However, I am afraid that there is an implicit demonstration in the Shang Dynasty - Ji Buxian has been exposed to so many cutting-edge technologies, the Shang Dynasty will definitely not release people. I think that the Shang Dynasty is demonstrating to us in a series of implicit words.

As long as the talents that the Shang Dynasty is optimistic about, even Zhao State cannot keep them!"

The Emperor of Zhao took a deep breath and his expression was a little quiet. Liang Fangwei's analysis above was afraid that it was the original intention of the Shang Dynasty!

There have never been real friends between countries! The Emperor of Zhao knew it for a long time, always knew it, and always followed this strategy.

But when this incident happened to him, the Emperor of Zhao suddenly realized that although he understood these principles, he could not accept such a result calmly!

His face was quite calm, but the Emperor of Zhao's hands had already clenched his fists. The Shang Dynasty was an open poaching force, and it also had the meaning of "robbing". However, the Emperor of Zhao had carefully analyzed it for a long time, but he had to admit that the current Zhao State is inseparable from the Shang Dynasty!

To put it most directly, the current Zhao State also depends on the smiling face of the Shang Dynasty! On the west side of the Lingxiao Mountains, where the former Yang State was located, there were two huge bomb craters, which reminded the surrounding countries all the time: Don’t anger the Shang Dynasty!

Close your eyes, the Emperor of Zhao seemed to be able to see the scene of the destruction of the Yang Kingdom, the struggling people, the cultivators who have lost their cultivation, and the people who are still struggling to survive.

The direct result of all this was just two sky fire bombs! According to the information that Emperor Zhao knew, the Zhao emperor could be sure and sure that there should be many such crazy sky fire bombs in the hands of the Shang Dynasty. Moreover, now that the Shang Dynasty is becoming more and more advanced, this kind of sky fire bomb should be continuously manufactured!

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhao finally made a decision. "Liang Fangwei, you have brought Ji Buxian's family to the Shang Dynasty and said..."

Speaking of this, the Emperor of Zhao's face flashed with anger that could no longer be concealed. It took a long time to suppress his anger before continuing: "Just say that Zhao is willing to join hands with the Shang Dynasty."

"Yes." Liang Fangwei responded, but his face was also a little angry. But even if he was angry, the reason why Zhao State is capable of overwhelming the surrounding countries is thanks to the Shang Dynasty.

However, the surrounding countries have also purchased a lot of technology, arms, etc. from the Shang Dynasty to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore, if Zhao now loses the friendship of the Shang Dynasty, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Fortunately, although the Shang Dynasty used some tricks, it did not break through the bottom line of the conventions of various countries. This is also one of the foundations for Zhao State to cooperate with the Shang Dynasty.

After Liang Fangwei and others left, the Emperor of Zhao looked at the newspapers on the table again. Now it is convenient for communication between Zhao and the Shang Dynasty, and newspapers are brought with them every day. However, the distance is too far, and it is normal to have three or five days in the evening.

Looking at the newspapers and the pictures above, especially the technological progress above, made Emperor Zhao’s face heavy.

Zhao State is also developing technology, but because he is also studying technology, the Emperor of Zhao State understands that the path of scientific development is not so easy to follow.

After a while, the prince came in. Emperor Zhao saw the prince's frustrated expression and spoke directly: "Has the plane failed to test flight?"

"Yes, my father." The prince hesitated for a while before saying: "Father, it is said that in the Shang Dynasty, there was a special mathematics about science and technology, which is a completely different mathematics from our existing 'number'..."

"I know what you want to say." The Emperor of Zhao sat tiredly on the simple chair, without calling him "I". "Hey... what you want to say is nothing more than learning from the Shang Kingdom, right?

However, things are not as simple as you imagined. The Shang Dynasty's control over core technologies was far beyond your imagination.

In fact, technology is also a great way, a great way that is completely different from all practices in the past. What is involved in this is not just a mathematical problem, but also a core idea. If we cannot master this core idea and analyze this core idea, we will never be as good as the Shang Dynasty."

"The core idea is very simple. Isn't it just to use systematic and reasonable means to analyze the essence of the world and use the essence to improve our world?" the prince said for granted.

"Hey!" Emperor Zhao shook his head, "Forget it, you go to the Shang Dynasty again. On the one hand, you send Ji Buxian's family over, and on the other hand, you also take the opportunity to chat with the Xianwang. Ask the Xianwang how he explained the core idea of ​​science."

In the evening, a chartered flight from the Zhao royal family flew into the air. Ji Buxian's family, including a total of 100 main servants, a total of more than 200 technical personnel, flew to the Shang Dynasty.

When the plane took off, Emperor Zhao stood on the wall of the imperial city and looked out from afar, feeling complicated.

Sending Ji Buxian's family to the Shang Dynasty was a sign of weakness and a deal - I, the Great Zhao State, have shown weakness so much, you should also express it. Therefore, the Emperor of Zhao State sent the prince to serve as an envoy again, hoping to get some technology or other rewards.

In the west of Ningguo, the sea at dawn is full of tranquility and tide. Quietness is because of the sky, the weather, and the magnificent waves are the boundless sea and the quietly undulating waves.

On the sea, an iron-shelled boat was slowly moving; there were many fishing nets around it, etc. There were several small wooden boats behind it.

Old Man Yang stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the slowly rolling waves under his feet, and was a little stunned for a moment.

Thinking about the experiences over the past month, Old Man Yang felt a bit like daydreaming.

More than a month ago, Yangjia Village finally bought a 500-ton iron-shelled ship after considering it. If the quality of this ship is evaluated by the Shang Dynasty, it can barely meet the standards of inland ships. But for Ningguo, for people from all countries west of Yingzhou, this is a real high-tech product.

The boat is 48 meters long, more than 8 meters wide, 2.5 meters deep, with a displacement of 500 tons, and a limit of 580 tons of calm and 580 tons; but the sea is surging, and the displacement of 500 tons is enough.

The outer shell of the ship is an iron shell that is half an inch thick, which can block the impact of ordinary small sea beasts; the inside is a little steel beam and wooden boards, and wooden beams. There is already a compartment technology inside the ship.

The ship uses two relatively simple internal combustion engines, with a maximum speed of 30 kilometers and a normal speed of 20 kilometers.

More than a month ago, the whole village of Yangjia Village raised 100 taels of silver, that is, 10 taels of gold, and booked the ship; and named it "Sea Dragon".

In the future, the payment will be offset with sea goods and the debts of Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group will be repaid.

At first, Yangjia Village was very worried; but the situation was much better than expected. Ning Guo was really determined to support the development of industry and commerce. There were even special ports docked and completely received supervision from His Majesty.

The whole village of Yangjia Village came to this big ship, but based on the simple idea of ​​the common people, there were many good small boats behind the big ship.

When I went to sea for the first time, Yangjia Village harvested fish in the past month; 70% of them were sold to Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group for mortgage loans, 30% were sold freely, or purchased by some enterprises in the country.

The price is 30% used to maintain boats, daily needs, etc.

When I went to sea for the second time, Yangjia Village had experience and actually got fish harvests for the past one and a half months at a time.

The third time I went to sea... the boat was full of sea goods. A village in Yangjia Village, a fish catch was enough for a small county town to have a day's food demand! The rich harvest even alarmed the queen.

The queen personally rewarded Yangjia Village with 100 taels of gold as encouragement. That was so shameful!

Since then, Yangjia Village has gone out to sea three times in a row, and each time it is full of loads. Before we know it, Yangjia Village has even become a small example.

However, people are often not satisfied; as the harvest becomes bigger and bigger, everyone in Yangjia Village began to have other ideas. How about taking all the small boats in the village and going to fish in the deep sea together?

In the past few fishing times, Yangjia Village only fished offshore, that is, 50 miles away from the coast; and the Hailong can reach 500 miles deep into the sea; in a calm environment, it can even reach a limit of 2,000 miles. Not to mention that there are many islands in Wanzhuhai. If you can rely on the island to moor, you may not be able to cross the sea!

Also, the deeper you go, the more valuable the sea goods are. Because the fish, shrimp, etc. in shallow sea are all ordinary fish, shrimp, and fish, shrimp, and fish, shrimp, and shrimp in deep sea, have a little spiritual energy to more or less. This little spiritual energy can increase the sales price by ten times, or even more!

"As long as we go to the deep sea to fish ten times, we can pay back the money for the boat! The earnings will be our own in the future!" Many fishermen in Yangjia Village thought so; even the village chief, Old Man Yang, thought so.

Of course, for safety reasons, the first time was to go to 500 miles to catch.
Chapter completed!
