Chapter 937 Voyage~~~~!

autumn to winter

From winter to spring!

The earth revives and all things grow.

Outside the seaport of Haicheng on the coast of the Yellow Sea, there are hundreds of large ships moored. The treasure ships are huge and look like mountains. Everyone who sees them is shocked. There are as many as ten such huge ships.

There are 60 tooth boats outside. These tooth boats are not small, 50 meters long, and the masts are full of sails.

The smallest building boat is also 30 meters long. These boats used to be the largest boats in Daqin, but now they are much weaker than these two kinds of boats.

Countless people gathered on the pier, and people were transferring countless materials to these large ships like ants, and at the same time, there were countless craftsmen, women, and children boarding the ships.

Lu Zhi has a detailed plan for the personnel arrangement. For example, the most important craftsmen are basically scattered on ten treasure ships. .

Jiang Hao was very satisfied with this arrangement of details.

In the mansion, all Jiang Hao's confidantes came, Lu Zhi, Su Su, and Yu Shu sat beside him, and on both sides were Xiao He, Cao Can, Lu Zhou, Han Zhong, Ji Bu, Lu Xin, Lu Shizhi and others .

Jiang Hao is listening to their report, and now is the final preparation. Tomorrow, the fleet will set off to start their endless sea journey. This will be the largest voyage in human history.

"Six thousand guards, more than six thousand five hundred craftsmen, more than ten thousand sailors, more than eighteen thousand female slaves, more than four thousand servants, more than twelve thousand orphan men and fifteen thousand orphan girls, a total of seventy thousand More than 1,500 people."

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

"Two thousand horses, with one male and three females, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks, donkeys, camels, sika deer, pigeons, quails and other poultry and livestock of about thirty species, as many as three to five hundred, as few as thirty or forty Only."

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

"Also, arrangements have been made for tomorrow's sacrifice at sea."

After listening to the reports, Jiang Hao nodded and said, "Tomorrow we will leave Daqin, and we don't know when we will come back." After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he looked at Lu Gong and said, "Lu Gong, the salt field in Haicheng I will leave it to you, and I have sent a letter to His Majesty, the Lu family can continue to operate in the future, of which the palace will hold 70% of the shares, and the Lu family will hold 30%."

Mr. Lu is always thankful that the Lu family can climb up to Jiang Hao. The profit of the salt farm is 30%. It will not take long for the Lu family to become a wealthy family. What is he dissatisfied with? Moreover, there are royal shares in it. This money makes more peace of mind.

the next day.

early morning,

There is still this layer of mist on the sea surface, and the sun has not climbed out of the sea, thousands of people gathered on the Haicheng pier, some people who went to sea and some came to see him off, among them were the governor of Donghai County and the magistrate of Haicheng County, etc. people.

Wearing a Taoist robe, Jiang Hao walked to the altar step by step, lit the sacrificial rites in his hands, and prayed sincerely facing the sea. The early sun rose in the east, and the sea was covered with clouds and mist, glowing red, like a fairyland.

suddenly,

Someone screamed and pointed to the sea and shouted: "Look, the clouds are flying around, doesn't it look like a dragon?"

Everyone looked at it, and saw that there was a real dragon soaring through the clouds and mist, and then it jumped towards the sky, with its head heading towards the south.

Many people were shocked by this scene, and Jiang Hao was also surprised. Does it mean that Hai Long will make a trip, and his destination is the south?

It seems to be true.

At the end of the sacrifice, Jiang Hao came to Donghai Sheriff and said, "Yan Junshou, I left something for His Majesty, it is very important, and please ask Yan Junshou to send it to His Majesty."

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

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

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

Turning around and taking another look at the countless people and the land of Great Qin behind him, Jiang Hao bowed and saluted, worshiping the sky and the land, then waved his hand and said, "Everyone board the boat, let's set off."

Jiang Hao and others started to board the ship. Lu Zhi and Su Su stood in front of Lu Gong and his elder brother with tears in their eyes. Lu Gong was also crying. Everyone knew that this parting might be a farewell.

But even if they were reluctant to give up, they would leave eventually. After boarding the big ship, everyone stood on the deck and waved.

The big ship slowly left the port and sailed into the vast sea. After a long time, there were no people on the shore. There were still countless people standing on the deck, looking at the land that gave birth to them.

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

The main cabin of the treasure ship is very spacious. After everyone knelt down, Jiang Hao looked at the civil servants and generals under him, and said: "Our purpose of going to sea this time is to find the elixir for His Majesty, and to go overseas to find fairy islands, but now I want Let me tell you, there are no fairy islands overseas, and there is no elixir of life."

All the people in the hall are real people, and they have already gone to sea. Jiang Hao is going to tell them the truth, so that they can be prepared.

"Are there any gods in this world?"

"Maybe there are, but the gods are not in the fairy mountains and islands, nor can they be found by mortals. They live in a different latitude from us."

"Maybe you don't understand the word latitude. To put it simply, immortals live in the fairy world, and the fairy world is not the same world as we live in."

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

The people in the hall kept nodding their heads, and it was easier for them to accept Jiang Hao's statement.

"Then why are we going out?" Jiang Hao looked at the people in the hall after he finished speaking, without them answering, he continued: "The Great Qin's vitality is not exhausted, and the first emperor is just at the height of the sun at this time, but I also have expectations for the future in my heart. It is the Great Qin State Teacher, Taoism is the state religion, and it has reached its peak, and I am afraid it will go downhill if you go forward."

"The people of Daqin say that I am a fairy. If Taoism really develops too much, it will definitely affect the royal rule. At that time, the first emperor will suppress me first. What do you think?"

The people here are not fools. As soon as Jiang Hao said, everyone also realized the crisis. Even if the First Emperor favored Jiang Hao, he would not let him shake the foundation of his rule.

"So it's very simple. I chose to go out to develop and find a place to survive overseas. In fact, His Majesty has also seen my intentions, and I don't want to develop to the point where I have to confront each other.

"I was recruiting people in the country, and His Majesty didn't stop me at all. It was for this reason, and there was also compensation. I would compensate you for teaching Your Majesty the method of cultivating immortals and my contribution to Great Qin."

The people here can now understand Jiang Hao's choice. In fact, it is indeed a good choice to think about it and develop.

"Then does your lord have any plans for our destination?" 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 hurriedly got up and opened the bamboo curtain, and then lowered it slowly. Everyone was surprised to find that what was presented in front of them was a huge map of mountains and geography.

Jiang Hao pointed to the map and said, "See this, this is Daqin."

Everyone was very surprised, Lu Zhi asked: "Daqin, why is it so small? There are so many places outside!"

Indeed, the current Great Qin is only 3 million square kilometers, not even as large as the Huns. The entire Asia is 44.579 million square kilometers, and the current Great Qin is less than one-tenth, so Jiang Haojue's Great Qin is enough to toss here.

"This world is vast, beyond your imagination. I am going to find a place overseas to build a country, and you will be the founders of the country." Jiang Hao said.

Hearing that Jiang Hao said that he was going to build a nation, although the people in the cabin had already thought of it, they were still very excited when Jiang Hao said it.

The lord is really going to establish a country, then they can form a real family in the future, maybe it will last for a hundred generations.

Regardless of their excitement, Jiang Hao continued: "As for the place, I have already chosen it."

As Jiang Hao said, he moved his fingers all the way south on the map, and finally stopped at a large island with a large area.

"The area of ​​this island is almost twice the size of the current Daqin. The land is vast and surrounded by the sea. It is a very suitable place for development."

Everyone looked at the big island, and their hearts became eager. It was twice as big as Daqin, so how much land would it have.

The more they thought about it, the more excited Ji Bu got up and knelt down and said, "My lord, I am 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 take down the big island."

Hearing the words of loyalty from the three generals, Jiang Hao laughed, "Maybe you don't know, there are almost no enemies on this island that can stop us, only a few uncivilized savages, you can imagine their fighting power. "

"Perhaps wherever you go, your biggest enemies are wild animals, such as snakes, crocodiles, and lizards." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Several people immediately looked at each other.

Su Su asked curiously, "Mr. Lang, why is there no one in such a big place? Could it be that this is a barren land?"

Jiang Hao shook his head, "There are deserts and rainforests here. It is by no means a barren land. The bigger reason is geography. This cannot be explained clearly in a few words. In short, we will have a difficult sea voyage. , I expect it may take four or five months for us to get here."

"It takes four to five months to own such a large piece of land, and then establish an independent country. I think anyone is willing to endure the hardship." Lu Zhou, who has been quiet all the time, said.

Ha ha ha ha!

Everyone in the hall laughed.
