Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 468
On the blue sea, a huge ship belonging to the Dajiang Gang is advancing on the sea surface. The strong monsoon is blowing the sails, fast and smooth, sailing along the coastline in familiar areas is okay, and reaching sea areas that boats have never been to. You need to proceed cautiously.

A sailor had himself tied to the bow of the ship, holding a flexible rope with numbers in his hand, and kept throwing the lead pendant into the sea, and then lifted it up again, reporting the numbers one by one. There is an accountant on the ship Mr. marked these numbers one by one on a huge chart.

Some sailors lie on the deck and wipe the deck very carefully. If the deck is not cleaned carefully, it will seriously affect the service life of the ship.

Although the sea water does not freeze in winter, it is windy at sea, and no one wants to enjoy sunbathing in this season.Except for the sailors of the Dajiang gang who operated the boat and a few vigilant Huaxia guards, there were not many people on the deck.Ye Chen spent most of his time practicing the Taiyi Mantra in the cabin.Although his cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary martial arts practitioners, but he has only cultivated for nearly two months, and his inner strength is still a lot worse than before Yixianfeng's accident.His current strength, in addition to the supernatural archery, is mainly due to the fact that he secretly learned the old man's Baquan hidden in the Baquan Martial Arts Gym, and made the most of his perverted physical strength.

This is not to say that the old man in the Naba boxing gym is a peerless master, but because this set of boxing can be said to be tailor-made for Ye Chen.Because even ordinary warriors have practiced external kung fu hard since childhood, their physical bodies are still limited in strength, and they may be able to exert first-class strength once or twice by exerting Baquan, but every time they exert their full strength, they will definitely cause certain damage to the physical body, that is to say For normal people, this set of Baquan is a way to stimulate their physical potential at critical moments and use it to fight for their lives. Afterwards, no matter whether they win or lose, their bodies will be severely injured, causing damage and hidden dangers that are difficult to recover.

However, the strength of Ye Chen's physical body and abnormal self-healing ability made him not have these hidden dangers at all.The improvement of his strength by this set of domineering boxing is undoubtedly a peerless secret book, and its importance is not as important as that of the Taiyi Sutra.

Zhao Kuangyin, emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, has been worrying about money for the past two or three months, because this autumn, there was first a drought on the East Road, and then a plague of locusts. Harvesting, I heard that the food in Jinyang City has quietly increased by two pennies, which has increased by half compared to last year.

The ancients said that "cheap grain will hurt farmers", Zhao Kuangyin is very clear about this point, in the prosperous age, what is needed is cheap grain, only in this way can feed the world's millions of mouths.But even though he is the emperor, there is no way to prevent those grain merchants from raising prices. After he made the decree, more than a dozen heads have been beheaded at Caishikou in Jinyang City. Unfortunately, dozens of grain stores have also quickly disappeared. The way, Zhao Kuangyin felt that he was powerless in this matter.

Although Wuyue Kingdom sent a dowry of 50 taels of silver when she married Princess Yongqing three months ago, part of the money was spent on reconstruction after the riots in Sichuan and Sichuan, and the other part was used to make up for the construction of several reservoirs on the Yellow River. went in.Now the money of the third department and the household department department is about to bottom out. Although there is still some money in the emperor's internal treasury, the money cannot be moved.This habit has existed since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

It wasn't until a few days ago that the Huaxia Weifu asked for an order to call the navy and learned that there might be 100 million taels of silver soon, Zhao Kuangyin was slightly relieved. Undecided.

However, at the critical moment, Ye Chen actually got another million taels of silver. After Zhao Kuangyin was greatly surprised, he also lamented Ye Chen's supernatural powers.He didn't know that Ye Chen had robbed 300 million taels of silver during this trip. Excluding the 100 million taels given to Qian Zhiyin earlier, it was equivalent to robbing 200 million taels. Otherwise, he would never politely take all the 200 million taels into the treasury .

Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon chair and thought about his own affairs, turning a deaf ear to the turmoil in the court. Since the news of Ye Chen's death came out, in the past two months, the open and secret struggle between Prime Minister Zhao Pu and Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi has become more and more intense.Zhao Kuangyin also gradually felt that the situation was a little out of his control, and the influence of the 'Two Zhaos' on some courtiers shocked him, so these days he felt more or less suspicious of the 'Two Zhaos'.

Compared with Zhao Kuangyin suffering in the court, Ye Chen is relaxed and happy. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, maritime trade has developed rapidly, especially in the past 60 years, Wuyue Kingdom has vigorously managed maritime business, making many merchant ships on the sea come and go. It is very lively, the clouds are steaming on the sea, and the scenery is beautiful and changeable. Many islands are looming in the clouds and mist.

Ye Chen went to sea this time, apart from crossing Nantang by sea, crossing Jiangbei, and then turning to land, another reason was to go to an island to see.That island is an overseas base established by Ye Chen after Dajiang gang Liu Jinyuan took over the wealth of Tianyi. At present, it is only used as a transit point for the Dajiang gang and the deputy envoy of the Department of Internal Affairs Zhou Xin to trade with Japan and Korea. Only Ye Chen knows that this island will have other great uses in the future.

A beautiful mountain appeared faintly in the sky, floating on the water, it seemed that it was really an overseas fairy mountain.

"Look, Penglai Immortal Island!" Someone yelled first, and all the people lay on the side of the boat to look at the gods, and some devout ones started to bow down.

Ye Chen stood at the bow of the boat, carefully admiring the rare beauty of the mirage, and always felt that this mountain was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it not long ago, which was so strange.

The world seems to have become a huge curtain, and the mirage is also clear.

"Isn't this the few islands with nice scenery that I passed by before?" Ye Chen suddenly recognized the scene in the mirage, and couldn't help thinking of something, his face changed drastically.

"The dragon absorbs water, haha, the dragon absorbs water, the Dragon King of the Sea has passed by, and now Immortal Island will suffer. I don't know whether it is the gods or the Dragon King."

Ye Chen's heartbeat is getting faster and faster, like beating a drum. It's not that he doesn't know how powerful the tornado is, and he knows a more terrifying fact, that is, the tornado is chasing after his ass. From the screen, he can see the huge The trees were uprooted, and these boats of mine were little toys in front of the tornado.It is possible to be rolled into the sky.

Ye Chen's face was extremely ugly, and he said loudly to the captain in charge of steering the boat: "Hurry up and pull up the sails, and run towards the direction of the mirage. If it's too late, it will be miserable, and no one will live."
