Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 631 There is a vast continent south of the South Seas

For the first month, Hou Sheng's fleet was floating in the ice on the sponge, sailing extremely slowly.

Later, Hou Sheng ordered all the ships to be linked together with iron chains.

Gathering the power of dozens of ships, it took a lot of hard work to leave that nightmarish place.

After that, they sailed at sea for more than a month.

Although the surrounding area has always been surrounded by the boundless sea, the gradually warming weather has made the crew a lot more stable.

The crew members who went to sea with Hou Sheng were all those who had followed him in the early years, and all of them were experienced old sailors.

They are used to floating on the sea, and they can be said to be the most experienced sea travelers in Daqin.

Hou Sheng never doubted their ability to adjust their mentality.

Even so, he also knew that the endurance of these people had reached a critical point.

Thinking of this, Hou Sheng couldn't help but secretly sighed.

He gently peeled off the shell of the phosphorescent prawn in his hand, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Turning his head and looking behind him, the crew members were surrounding a large fish that was ten feet long, cutting meat and grilling it with a dagger.

After leaving America, they completely cut off their supply sources.

Now the fleet has reached the point where it has run out of ammunition and food.

Hou Sheng walked past the barbecue pile, waved his hands, and rejected the crew's kindness to invite him to have a meal together, and then walked quickly into the cabin.

Back in his own room, Hou Sheng closed the door, and after confirming that there was no one outside, he carefully pulled out a box from under the bed.

Opening the box, he took out a small ball from inside, which turned out to be a delicate globe.

This globe was a gift from Zhao Kun to Hou Sheng before he followed Fusu to America.

Funny to say, it was this globe that made him give up his huge interests in America, and resolutely decided Zhao Kun's request for him to continue exploring unknown lands.

The reason why he didn't choose to return to America was when he was on the giant Antarctic island.

It is because on this globe, a place is marked, a giant island that is bigger than several passes.

After sailing at sea for a year, Hou Sheng's fleet has already cost nearly a thousand lives to prove that what Zhao Kun said before is not a single lie.

Therefore, at the beginning, Hou Sheng resisted all opinions and led the fleet to continue eastward, and then turned to the north.

According to the distance marked on the globe, at this time, they should have almost arrived at the giant island.

Hou Sheng's callused right hand kept rubbing the globe.

As if this would bring him good luck.

Suddenly, he felt a shock in the top of his head.

Immediately afterwards, there was a faint loud noise outside.

Hou Sheng's face changed, he stood up quickly, and hid the globe as quickly as possible.

Then, he quickly stepped out of the cabin.

Sailing at sea for a long time puts a lot of mental pressure on people.

Although these crew members are veterans.

However, the previous nightmare experience made Hou Sheng not sure whether these crew members could suppress the restlessness in their hearts.

At sea, if the crew rioted, the consequences would even far exceed the mutiny in the army.

Mutiny in the army, even if it cannot be suppressed, at most some people will die.

But if the crew rioted at sea, the entire fleet would probably be dead.

Hou Sheng stepped onto the deck quickly, but the scene in front of him stunned him.

On the deck, all the crew cheered heartily.

Many people raised their fingers to the north, and the ecstatic appearance did not look like a riot.

Is it.
Hou Sheng burst into ecstasy.

He staggered for a while, but at this moment Hou Sheng could no longer care about his majesty as the leader of the fleet.

He scrambled to the deck.

Immediately afterwards, Hou Sheng saw a scene that he would never forget.

In the distance, a boundless coastline looms in sight.

Hou Sheng took out his binoculars and looked over there.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast and endless forest.

Hou Sheng could even see a few grotesque beasts poking around in the forest.

There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

"In the south of Nanyang, there is a vast continent. That place is comparable in size to the land of the summers, but it is isolated from the world and has no human habitation. When you find this place, I represent Great Qin, and there will be rewards."

Before leaving, Zhao Kun's words seemed to ring in his ears.

Hou Sheng slowly closed his eyes.

Even though he has experienced countless storms and waves, at this moment, he still feels his body trembling uncontrollably under the ecstasy.

In March of Yangchun, Daqin.

After a long winter, the whole of Daqin gradually resumed its busy life.

The farmland in Guanzhong is full of busy farmers.

In the second five-year development plan proposed by Zhao Kun, supporting agriculture is one of the most important parts.

As the Academy of Sciences has increased its investment in agriculture, various time-saving and labor-saving new agricultural tools have been continuously produced.

Spring plowing, which used to require a lot of manpower, is now much easier.

In the past, the people's homes in Daqin could only come from farming.

The whole family went to battle together, and after a busy year, they could barely maintain enough food and clothing.

Today's ordinary people in Daqin have various sources of income.

In a family, the elderly are usually farming at home.

Young and strong laborers go to work in factories.

As for the children, they all go to school to study.

Such a day would have been unimaginable ten years ago.

Therefore, even if it is doing heavy farm work.

But from time to time, hearty laughter can still be heard from the mouths of those old farmers.

Occasionally, you can hear old farmers getting together and talking loudly with the unique loud voice of Guanzhong people.

What they were talking about was not the family's short-sightedness, but all the national affairs.

What is the fact that the Western Expeditionary Army has won successive battles in the Kingdom of Bendu, why His Majesty punished several county guards yesterday for delaying farming, and what nearby county has opened a medical clinic.

After finishing speaking, you must also attach a paragraph of your own comments.

If the point of view is the same, naturally everyone is happy.

If the views differ, there will be a quarrel over whose voice is louder.

Zhao Kun rode his horse and headed towards Jiujun Mountain west of Xianyang.

The scenes he saw along the way always made him smile knowingly.

Today is the day when the freshmen of Daqin Academy enter school.

After a year of development, Daqin Academy recruited students for the second time, which is more standardized and larger than last year.

Today, when the new students entered the school, Kong Yu, the sacrificial wine of the Daqin Academy, strongly invited Zhao Kun to give a class to the students of the Academy.

This proposal has unprecedentedly attracted the unanimous approval of all schools in the academy.

Zhao Kun is naturally aware of the small calculations in these people's minds.

However, this was originally within his plan.

Therefore, as soon as Kong Yu made this request, he readily agreed.

On the Jiujun Mountain, on the large square in the center of the Daqin Academy.

More than two thousand students in blue robes specially made by the Great Qin Academy stood with their hands behind their backs.

The teachers of each college are standing at the forefront of the student team of their respective colleges.

The entire square was silent.

Everyone had a faint look of excitement on their faces.

Today is the day when His Majesty II will visit the Great Qin Academy again after a year.

Since Zhao Kun succeeded to the throne last year, he has lived in seclusion.

Although the royal family has a separate garden on Jiujun Mountain, every time Zhao Kun comes, they are guarded tightly.

Ordinary students, it is rare to see them at all.

The freshmen who entered this year were only able to hear something about Zhao Kun's last visit to the Daqin Academy from the mouths of the old students.

Two years ago, the school was first established, and the grand scene of hundreds of schools worshiping the emperor is still talked about by old students.

However, when Zhao Kun came last year, he had not yet ascended the throne.

Moreover, he did not communicate with the students.

Today is the first time that Zhao Kun went to the Academy as the emperor, and he was going to give lectures to the students.

This alone is enough to make these young students excited.

Although Zhao Kun has just passed the weak crown this year, he is not much older than most of the students.

However, he has become a legend in Daqin.

About Zhao Kun's deeds, any Qin people are familiar with it, and they can't finish it for days and nights.

If it is said that in the past when Prince Zhao Kun was the prince, the impression he left on the common people was that he was close to the people.

Today's Zhao Kun is unfathomable to the common people, and his sky is rare to see.

Not only for ordinary people, but also for the students of the Great Qin Academy.

In the academy, among the team belonging to the Academy of Sciences, there were still three or two big cats and kittens.

The academy recruited students for the first time last year, and the Academy of Sciences didn't pay much attention to it.

In the end, only two disciples were publicly recruited.

One is Sheng Gong, who was already famous in Daqin, and the other is Yuan Li.

Of course, it cannot be said that the number of students in the Academy of Sciences has decreased.

After all, although the Academy of Sciences has now become a pivotal institution in Daqin.

However, the thinking of people in the Academy of Sciences cannot be changed in a short while.

These people are all craftsmen, and they regard the matter of inheritance as extremely important.

Nowadays, the students of the Academy of Sciences in the academy are basically their descendants.

This year, the Academy of Sciences has recruited more than [-] students, but compared to other schools that often recruit hundreds of students, it is not enough.

At the end of last year, the Carthaginians united with the Pontus Kingdom to make troubles in Daqin and kidnapped more than a hundred talents from the Academy of Sciences.

Afterwards, everyone in Daqin was very angry.

As one of the parties involved, the Academy of Sciences was even more furious.

Therefore, when the army marched westward, the Academy of Sciences took the initiative to ask for orders and sent hundreds of people to accompany the army.

Because among those who died, there were students from a science academy like Uro.

In order to avenge Wuluo, the old students of the previous class enthusiastically signed up for the Western Expedition, and were almost all transferred.

In this way, the number of teams of the Academy of Sciences is even smaller.

Sheng Gong and Yuan Li, as representatives of the old students of the Academy of Sciences, stood at the front of the team.

Although he has been in the Academy of Sciences for a year, Yuan Li's jumping nature has not changed much.

After lunch, he was dragged here to act like a human being, and he was not happy at all.

In addition, letting himself stand side by side with Sheng Gong, who has always been disliked, made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Hey, do you think they are going too far?"

Yuan Li kept his eyes straight, moved his mouth slightly, and whispered.

The words were spoken, but there was no response for a long time.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Duke Sheng, only to find that his eyes were slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Tsk, do you think you are tired from life? What's the use of putting on airs anytime and anywhere?"

Yuan Li spoke again, with a sneer on his face.

This time, Duke Sheng finally turned his head around.

He looked at Yuanli, sighed, then shook his head.

"Your Majesty came to the academy to give lectures in person today, so why can't you be quiet?"

"so what?"

Yuan Li sneered: "I still want to ask His Majesty face to face, why other students can go out with the army, but I can't!"

Last year, Yuan Li also signed up and asked to join the Western Expedition to avenge his classmates.

But his application was rejected.

He was originally a restless temperament, and he had studied in the Academy of Sciences for more than a year, and he thought he had learned a lot.

Although Yuan Li is nearly eighteen years old, he is still young at heart.

Because he joined the Academy of Sciences, he had frequent correspondence with his father Yuan Dingqi this year.

Not because of the deep love between father and son.

The two communicated through letters, completely scolding and fighting in the air.

Yuan Ding thinks that the knowledge of the Academy of Sciences is a strange skill, so he was unwilling to let his son enter the Academy of Sciences.

Unexpectedly, by mistake, Yuan Li was admitted to the Academy of Sciences.

Not only that, but he also wrote letters to his old father every now and then to show off.

Yuan Dingqi was notoriously shameless and ruthless, how could he allow his son to be so embarrassing in front of him.

Both father and son have a violent temper that can be sparked at the slightest spark.

After coming and going, the two simply started arguing in the letters.

After Yuan Li entered the Academy of Sciences, he gradually fell in love with the wonderful world described by science.

Deep in it, unable to extricate themselves.

He was extremely angry at his father belittling his knowledge.

In my father's mouth, whether a knowledge is good or not depends on its usefulness.

The creations of the Academy of Sciences that Yuan Dingqi has come into contact with are basically daily necessities.

This kind of thing that can make people "depressed" is crooked in his opinion.

Therefore, Yuan Li took a deep breath in his heart and focused on proving to his father whether science is useful or not.

Going out with the army is the best way to prove it.

Therefore, Yuan Li was extremely upset when his application was dismissed.

Although it has been more than five months since the army went out, his tone still hasn't subsided.

What made him even more angry was that all the students who were in the same class as them, who were over 16 years old, basically all went out.

Only he and Duke Sheng were left behind.

This is blatant discrimination.

Yuan Li once approached Wu Cheng, vice president of the Academy of Sciences, and applied to play.

In his mind, he wanted to avenge Wu Luo, and Wu Cheng was Wu Luo's father.

With this relationship, Wu Cheng, who treats students extremely harshly on weekdays, will not be too hard on himself.

Unexpectedly, instead of agreeing to his request, Wu Cheng scolded him angrily and beat him out.

Sheng Gong was expressionless, and said directly: "The vice-principal has made such an arrangement, so he naturally has his own plans, how can you allow you to speak at will?"

"Ah!"

Yuan Li snorted, and said with a sneer: "This kind of opportunity to gain military exploits, they are naturally close to their own people. Let me ask you, are you convinced?"
