The Most Powerful Man in the World

Lu Shinang left as ordered, and a group of civil and military officials waited one by one, but it was only half a cup of tea, when they saw Lu Shinang strode forward with a roll of silk in his hand.

Just by looking at the silk, it can be seen that this silk is very large, but it was embroidered by the most skilled embroiderers, with a length and width of nearly a zhang.

Chu Yi stretched out his hand and saw that the map of the world fell into his hands, and then Chu Yi showed it, and a huge map appeared in Ying Wenwu's line of sight.

Because this map of the world is quite large, the outlines of countries are clearly visible on this map.

To be honest, Chu Yi really doesn't have much impression of the map of the world during the Song Dynasty, even if he had seen it before, if it wasn't for his amazing cultivation now, he had already gathered his primordial spirit, and his memory of the past was totally fine. Remember them all, otherwise, he really can't come up with such a good map.

With Chu Yi's current cultivation, as long as he is willing, the books, images and other materials he has read in the past, even if he just glanced at them, didn't remember them at the time, but now he can clearly recall them one by one.

When Ying Wenwu's eyes fell on this huge map of the world, especially when he saw the names of the big and small countries on this map of the world, his face couldn't help showing surprise look.

It's no wonder that these people are so shocked. In their minds, the Central Plains is the center of the world. Outside the Central Plains are wild places. The Central Plains occupied by the Song Dynasty is the center of the whole world. On the map of the world, the map marked the Song Dynasty is not even one-tenth the size of this map of the world.

On this map of the world, in addition to the Song Dynasty, there are at least dozens of countries, large and small. The names of many of these countries are actually not unfamiliar to the civil and military officials present.

The names of countries such as Khwarizmo, Seljuk Turks, Dashi in Black, Jiaozhi, Tianzhu, Champaign, Chenla, Bagan, Sanfoqi, Goryeo, Japan, etc., were actually heard by the officials present.

After all, Da Song's overseas trade was extremely developed. It can be said that Da Song accounted for [-] to [-]% of the world's total economic volume at that time, and it can be seen how Da Song's business was delivered.

It is such a developed overseas trade, which is naturally the result of a large number of merchants going overseas to do business. As a result, the goods of the Song Dynasty were transported to most of the world through the Maritime Silk Road and the Land Silk Road.

Naturally, the existence of these countries is known to many people, but the Song Dynasty is the world of scholars and officials. In the hearts of these people, the center of the world is the Central Plains. Outside the Central Plains, all are barbarians, and those so-called Needless to say, the country is a barbarian small state.

I am afraid that all the information about some powerful countries that come through the mouths of those businessmen will also be laughed at by these scholar-bureaucrats.

But now, looking at the map of the world in front of him, the vast world clearly appeared in the sight of everyone for the first time. Especially in comparison, Da Song is not the center of the world, let alone the world. In the largest country, the shock brought by this impact to everyone can be imagined.

"This... is this world map actually real?"

"How is this possible? The ancestors once said that the Central Plains are the center of the world..."

"Hey, the world is so vast, my Song Dynasty is just a corner of the world..."

For a time, all the officials present were deeply shocked by the large and small national territory marked on this map of the world.

Some people were horrified, some showed disbelief, and some opened their eyes and mouths... It can be said that when this map of the world came out, everyone was overshadowed by it.

Not to mention that it was a civil and military official, even Zhao Gou, who was sitting there, could not help but widen his eyes. He looked at the map of the world in disbelief, and his heart was filled with infinite waves.

Chapter nine hundred and twenty sixth handsome

Fang La, Lu Shinang, Zhu Wu and others who were standing above the court were looking at the reactions of these civil and military officials with disdain, as if they were very disdainful of the reactions of these people.

However, when Fang La and the others looked at the map of the world, they couldn't help recalling the first time they saw this map of the world, and their reactions were the same as those of the officials present.

Zhao Gou took a deep breath, swallowed his saliva, turned his eyes to Chu Yi who was standing aside, and said in a trembling voice, "King Song, I never thought that the world would be so big, could it be that you, King Song..."

Although Zhao Gou didn't say it, everyone present could guess what he meant to reveal. After all, just before, Zhao Gou ordered the court to prepare all kinds of food, military equipment and other materials.

Now that Zhao Gou saw this map of the world, he couldn't help but secretly guess, could it be that Chu Yi wanted to target the countries on the map of the world?

Thinking of this, for some unknown reason, Zhao Gou felt his blood boil over him. Since ancient times, in the eyes of the people of the world, the world is the size of the Central Plains. Few surrendered areas outside the Central Plains.

Looking at this map of the world now, anyone can feel the oncoming shock.

Thinking of Chu Yi's illustrious military exploits in destroying Dajin, Xixia, and Tubo, and then looking at the big and small countries on the map of the world, Zhao Gou didn't think much about it.

If it is said that Chu Yi's goal is really these countries, does that mean that the territory of the Song Dynasty will expand wildly with the footsteps of Chu Yi's army?

If this is the case, then the territory of the Song Dynasty will be huge to a terrifying level, and as a generation of emperors, he will surpass any emperor in the world.

The officials present also looked at Chu Yi subconsciously, their eyes full of horror.

Zong Ze's body trembled as he looked at Chu Yi and said, "General Manager, don't you really want to do something to these countries?"

Chu Yi raised his brows, stretched out his hand and pointed to the southwest, then pointed to the continuous island in the southeast sea area, and slid toward the road: "You know that these places are all fertile places, if any piece of land can be won, it is enough. Let my Chinese people have no worries about food and clothing, and the rice warehouse is full..."

Zhu Wu stroked his beard and glanced at Zong Ze and said: "Zong Shumi, the chief executive once said that these places are God-given places, if you don't take them, you will be punished by God, don't you want to lay a vast land for future generations? Heaven and earth?"

Zhu Wu and Lu Shinang were almost the words of Chu Yi above the courtroom. Under normal circumstances, Chu Yi would not speak out on the courtroom.

Now that Chu Yi has told them so much, as long as he is not stupid, he can see that Chu Yi has made up his mind to use troops abroad.

If it were someone else, even if it was the Son of Heaven, they would probably be regarded as a poor soldier, but who made Chu Yi's record too amazing.

When others use troops abroad, they often use their entire army, which brings a great burden to the country and even the people. However, Chu Yi used troops several times, and most of the troops actually mobilized were around [-].

Although such a number of soldiers and horses have said a lot, if they really say it, it is not too much. After all, with the national strength of Da Song, only more than [-] troops are used externally at a time. If Da Song can even handle this consumption. If they lived there, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to support millions of banned troops.

At this time, Zhao Gou looked around at the civil and military officials present, and said with a firm voice: "This matter is settled as it is, all the ministers should handle this matter carefully, if there is any problem, even if the chief executive is benevolent, I will not I will forgive you."

After the morning court, as the civil and military officials dispersed, in less than half a day, a lot of information about the court meeting above the courtroom was spread from the market.

One of the most sensational is the map of the world that Chu Yi took out.

The map of the world was finally begged by Zhao Gou. It is said that Zhao Gou wanted to hang it in his bedroom to supervise him.

Although it was said that the map of the world was hung in the palace by Zhao Gou, so many civil and military officials above the court could see it clearly at the time.

Don't underestimate these civil and military officials, some officials don't say others, just their memory is definitely the best among the people in the world, otherwise it is impossible to enter the court all the way and become a court official.

It may be impossible for these officials to write down all of them, but when several or even a dozen officials used their memories to restore the map of the world, a map that was almost identical to the map of the world was restored.

It is conceivable that by the next day, this map of the world will be spread out, but everyone who has a relationship will get a map of the world.

Just like the reaction of the court officials, anyone who saw the content of the world map for the first time was stunned by the world map.

It only took three or five days, and the entire capital was boiling with excitement, especially the bloody Song Zimin who had been inspired by Chu Yi's victories over and over again. Many people had the urge to join the army for the first time.

You must know that in the Song Dynasty, as long as there is a choice, few people are willing to join the army. Just by being called a thief with the army, you can imagine how low the status of the soldiers in the Song Dynasty is.

But now it is obvious that the warriors are strong in the court, and Chu Yi has almost become the representative of the warriors, not only suppressing the civil servants, but also suppressing the imperial power.

When Chu Yi learned about the reaction of the people in the capital, he couldn't help being a little surprised. Obviously, he didn't think that his fundamental purpose was to destroy the country, but he never thought that it would bring such a big change to these people.

With a move in his heart, Chu Yi recruited Lu Shinang, Zhu Wu, Lu Junyi and others.

A few people came in a hurry, looked at Chu Yi, and heard Lu Junyi say to Chu Yi: "The chief executive urgently summoned me to come, I don't know what instructions?"

Chu Yi glanced at a few people and said, "Pass the order of my generals and post a recruitment notice, recruiting [-] troops."

After listening to Chu Yi's order, Lu Junyi and the others couldn't help but stunned for a moment, apparently some did not understand why Chu Yi suddenly decided to recruit troops.

You must know that they can actually choose from the forbidden army. It is better than recruiting soldiers directly from the common people. Besides, how many people in the world would be willing to join the army, not to mention [-] people, I am afraid that they will be able to recruit [-] soldiers by then. People are already good.

Seeing the changes in the expressions of several people in Chu Yi's eyes, Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Just do whatever you want, this king has his own plans."

For Chu Yi's order, everyone will naturally not object, even if they are puzzled, since Chu Yi said so, they will naturally find ways to complete it.

In the palace, Zhao Gou looked at Yang Jian with a look of surprise and said, "Yang Jian, what are you saying, King Song is about to enter the palace to see me?"

Yang Jian nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is the news that the old slave just received."

Zhao Gou took a deep breath, glanced at Yang Jian and said, "Since King Song wants to enter the palace to see me, what are you waiting for, I should greet me in person."

Saying that Zhao Gou walked out of the palace first, Yang Jian and several other servants quickly followed.

Before Zhao Gou passed through the pavilion, he saw a figure in front of him who seemed to be slow, but in fact came very quickly, it was Chu Yi.

When Chu Yi saw Zhao Gou, he looked straight and said, "Chu Yi has seen His Majesty."

Zhao Gou hurriedly said: "King Song doesn't need to be too polite, I didn't expect King Song to enter the palace to see me..."

Chu Yi said: "It was Chu who came suddenly, but it disturbed His Majesty."

Zhao Gou shook his head and said, "King Song is joking, I have time whenever King Song wants to see me, but this is the first time that King Song has come to see me on his own initiative. Didn't it work?"

You must know that during these days, except for Chu Yi's appearance at the court meeting that day, at other times, Chu Yi simply did not appear in front of people. Even if there was something, it was handled by his subordinates.

It is precisely because Chu Yi has always lived in seclusion that Zhao Gou was so surprised when Chu Yi entered the palace in person.

Chu Yi swept his gaze, walked towards a pavilion not far away and said, "Chu has indeed come here to discuss something with His Majesty."

Soon several people walked into the pavilion. Yang Jian quickly served Chu Yi and Zhao Gou to sit down, and then took the initiative to take a few servants out of the pavilion.

Zhao Gou then looked at Chu Yi curiously and said, "I don't know if the chief executive has anything to discuss with me. I said that as long as the chief executive thinks there is no problem, just do it, and I will support it."

Obviously, Zhao Gou was expressing his attitude to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi just smiled and looked at Zhao Gou and said, "Your Majesty should know the various drawbacks that the Song Dynasty has accumulated over the past [-] years.

As the emperor, how can Zhao Gou not see through the problems above the court? In fact, there are not a few people who can see through this in this era. After all, who can stand at the peak of this era, which one is not an outstanding person, if it is Lian Da Song's If you can't see through the disadvantages, you are not qualified to stand at the pinnacle of an era.

Zhao Gou may not be an outstanding person, but there are people in the court who can see through this, so Zhao Gou is very aware of the questions raised by Chu Yi.

Zhao Gou raised his head and looked at Chu Yi and said, "How come I don't know this, but after hundreds of years of accumulation, these problems have been accumulated and difficult to return. I am afraid that before these problems are solved, Great Song will die."

Speaking of this, Zhao Gou looked at Chu Yi expectantly and said, "The reforms in the past may have had such a reason, but in the end they still ended in failure."

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "As Your Majesty said, these problems are already hard to come by, but if you don't want to find a solution, one day, the Great Song Dynasty will perish because of this."

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Gou looked at Chu Yi and said, "If there is anyone in the world who can solve these problems, in my opinion, there is no one other than you, King Song."

Chu Yi's expression was calm, and it seemed that Zhao Gou's admiration for him was nothing at all.

He heard Chu Yi speak slowly: "Actually, it is not difficult to solve these problems, it is nothing more than reforming the control and military system."

Whether it is the official system or the military system, they are all left by the ancestors. After several generations of emperors, they gradually formed. In the final analysis, it is the emphasis on literature and suppression of martial arts. The Zhao family and the scholars and officials share the world.

Now that Chu Yi wants to reform the military system and the official system, Zhao Gou is naturally at a loss, but Zhao Gou also knows that if Chu Yi makes a decision, even the emperor cannot stop him. Unable to suppress the generals, then simply let Chu Yi let go of reform is that, regardless of success or failure, it seems that he is the emperor who benefits in the end.

Just when Chu Yi was thinking about reforming the military and politics of the Song Dynasty, Lu Junyi, Lu Shinang and others were still very efficient.

A series of notices were posted, not only in the capital, but also in every state and every road to recruit soldiers.

Obviously, Lu Shinang and the others were worried that the capital alone would not be able to recruit enough soldiers. Anyway, Chu Yi did not say that the scope of recruiting soldiers should be limited to the capital, so Lu Shinang and the others simply posted a notice. Stickers all over the state.

Xiangzhou Tangyin

Several armies looked at the notice posted on the city wall, and one of them couldn't help but said to the other: "Pengju, look, this notice, the chief is recruiting soldiers."

"General Manager Chu Yi, who led the army to destroy the Xixia, Dajin, and Tubo three kingdoms by one person. I didn't expect this to be recruited by the General Manager. It would be such an honor to be able to join them."

The young man known as Pengju was tall and straight, with a strange look in his eyes: "Brothers, dare to go to Beijing with me, Yue Fei, and have a great future."

As Yue Fei's best friend, Niu Gao laughed and said, "Why don't you dare?"

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "If it wasn't for Pengju, you had to quit the army because you wanted to be filial to your uncle. Now, I'm afraid that it's already in the limelight, and you're on the rise, why would you spend time with our brothers in this army. "

Wang Gui and several people nodded, but they knew that Yue Fei had joined the army a few years ago, and even achieved the position of captain, but because his father passed away, he had to leave the army and return to his hometown to keep filial piety. The name has moved the world.

Yue Fei chuckled and said, "It is my duty to be a son of man. Besides, I have never felt any regret when I left the army. After all, if this were not the case, you and my brothers would not be able to get together every day."

Niu Gao said in a stern voice, "This time we will listen to Pengju's advice, everyone will go back and settle down at home, and then we will go to the capital together."

As soon as the notice came out, not only a handsome man like Yue Fei, but also many other generals who had not yet had time to step onto their own stage looked at the notice and were eager to try.
