Chapter 396: sun never sets empire
In the year 3272 of the Chinese calendar, on the third day of the third lunar month, the spring blossoms coincided with the three-day long holiday. Chang'an Street was crowded with people, and Li Yunfei finally left the palace to take a look around.
Speaking of the origin of the calendar, the ministers originally proposed to use the Sage Emperor, Tianyuan. It would be troublesome to change the calendar after changing the monarch in a few years. Therefore, Li Yunfei directly chose the Yellow Emperor, the first ancestor of China, to start the calculation. Are they the first ancestors of China? Since they are all called the Dahua Dynasty, the first emperor was born in 2717 BC and now it is 555 AD, so it adds up to more than 3,000. When the diplomatic missions from the West heard that Dahua had a history of more than 3,000 years, they could only look up.
As soon as the Chinese rumors spread, many ethnic minorities began to regard themselves as descendants of Yan and Huang. God knows, everyone said yes, so the birthday of the Yellow Emperor on the third day of March has become a festival for everyone. It has spread all over Asia, and even extended to Europe. Of course, the saying is no longer an outing, Qingming Festival, but those people regard this as Christmas in the East, the birth of Huangdi, the ancestor of humanities, and it seems that Christmas is not wrong.
It has been the third year of the unification of the world, and the industry has begun to take shape. All kinds of production capacity are almost doubled every quarter. The amazing results are rising. The production capacity is extremely rich, and even the legendary electric light bulb has been tinkered with, and a The launch is light-emitting diodes, but there is no rubber now, and it is almost impossible to promote the use of electric lamps on a large scale.
However, the first ocean-going fleet was dispatched last year, and it would have reached the American continent long ago. The rubber trees are in the Amazon jungle. It is still uncertain whether things are going well or not. Shouldn't be a problem...
Suddenly I felt something falling from above, so I thought it was an attack, so I avoided it subconsciously, but when I saw that it was a woman who fell, I used my mind to hold the woman safely to the ground.
Suddenly, dozens of people appeared in the crowd, surrounded Li Yunfei all of a sudden, and cleared the area in an instant. Of course, these were not assassins, they were all guards. They didn't see anyone at ordinary times. Appear.
"...Why don't you jump off the building now? Do you know that jumping off the building so casually will hit people, and then you won't be able to kill yourself, and you won't feel guilty if you hit someone else to death. Are you?" Seeing that the other party was a little dazed, Li Yunfei also taught him a lesson, not as an emperor, but as a passerby.
"I didn't jump off the building... It was an accident... Just now someone said that Your Majesty, you were shopping, so we all came out to watch, and then accidentally fell off!" The woman also explained.
"You recognize me?"
"Yes, I am a member of the Byzantine Empire Mission. I saw you from a distance when I visited last time...and I and your wife, Princess Yushu, are good friends..."
"Your Majesty, there is news from the palace that the First Fleet has returned from America..." A guard suddenly walked over and reported to Li Yunfei in a low voice.
"Let's go back and have a look... Well, be careful next time, don't join in the fun if you don't have anything to do, or you will die." He said something to the Fan woman, and turned back directly. Whether Li Yunfei is an idiot, of course it depends. It can be concluded that the girl made it clear that she wanted to get close. In fact, even if she didn't save her just now, she wouldn't fall to her death. It can be seen that the other party still has some skills.
"It's not as graceful as Yu Shu said. I don't even have a problem with my name, and I didn't invite me to drink tea..." The girl didn't mutter to herself until Li Yunfei was far away.
"Because your acting skills are so bad, someone fell from a high altitude. It's not that the face is pale with fright, the hands and feet are weak, and the battle can't stand. Who is standing there like you are completely nothing." Another member of the mission walked over and said.
"Could it be that I should lie directly on the ground just now, didn't that stain my clothes?"
"If you pretended to be weak and fell down just now, I guess he would hug you, and then you'll get used to it. If you really hug your thighs, you can stay in Dahua forever."
...
In the side hall of the palace, Li Yan seemed a little restless. They were all in their thirties, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. This time, the credit was enough to completely eliminate the loss of the Li family accidentally standing in the wrong team a few years ago.
Li Bin, whose name is Mingze, is now the patriarch of the Li family in Longxi. The previous patriarch voluntarily resigned because he did not wipe for a while, so he voluntarily resigned and gave huge benefits to the court. passed to him.
And it took a lot of effort for him to take over the position of the commander of the First Fleet. In the beginning of the spring, he was ordered to take the First Fleet across the ocean to find the American continent. He had a complete chart, compass, and Many magical devices, but still drifting at sea for nearly three months before they found the legendary Mesoamerican continent.
(Although the battleship can reach a speed of 18 knots, it is impossible to go directly to the first search, and there are still many detours.)
It took several months in the American continent to successfully bring back the seeds of rubber trees from the Amazon jungle, of course, many seeds. It even brought back a large number of natives and finished rubber, but it was not directly robbed. Dignified Chinese products are so rich, of course, there is no need to rob them, they are directly exchanged. However, in terms of cost, it is almost the same as robbing, but a few glass mirrors are used in exchange for hundreds of tons of finished rubber, and hundreds of people, which is amazing.
The Chinese accompanying the fleet were worshipped as gods by the local natives. Seeing that these natives could be educated, it was a real opportunity. Leading the team, Li Li left dozens of people to establish a stronghold in the local area. These natives also became Dahua's subjects, and the entire Americas became Dahua's territory. Of course, this is going well, but the hardships are indescribable. It took almost a whole year to go to sea this time, and it also managed a lot of terrible things...
"We've met Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live..." When he saw Li Yunfei coming in, he was still very excited, and he went to pay homage directly.
"Li Qing, please get up quickly!" Li Yunfei also hurried over to help him up.
"You have worked hard Mingze, this time you have done a great job for me Dahua, and there will be a big reward in the morning three days later!" At first, I thought that this guy would be very careful, so there were a lot of confidants in the fleet to follow. I didn't expect this man to be a big loyal minister. At least it seems that he is single-mindedly fighting for the construction of Dahua. Will suffice. As for whether there will be any careful thinking in the future, in fact, this possibility will become lower and lower as time goes on.
"Wei ministers don't dare to bow, they are all wise and wise!" He really admired it, and was convinced from the bottom of his heart that this monarch of the sage is a clever man, and he can speculate about everything. If there is no pre-arrangement from the sage, this ocean may not be able to come back alone. He really does not dare to have a trace of disobedience Don't say that, the credit belongs to everyone, I just Move your tongue... By the way, I heard that you came to report directly before returning to the manor? "
"Country matters!"
"Then go back quickly and have a good rest, otherwise the ladies in your family will curse behind their backs."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, that Wei Chen will retire first. This is a letter of credentials from the Indian King to His Majesty, expressing his willingness to return to my Dahua!"
"Return?"
"Yes, that is the return, Yindi Tong Yin Emperor, Wei Chen thinks that it is a descendant of the Yin and Shang Dynasty!"
"Well, yes, yes, they are my Dahua people!"
Yes or not is not important, what is important is that everyone thinks it is. Who cares whether it is true or not in a hundred years?
The Indians became the people of Dahua, then the American continent has justifiably become the territory of Dahua, and successfully built the empire on which the sun never sets,
