Liu Jixing glanced at Wu Zhonghan. Because of these things, he had already received reports.

Nowadays, Liu Jixing is flexing his muscles at sea. Xingwangfu is carrying out construction projects outside the Pearl River Estuary, and he is constantly rushing to build large and medium-sized ships. The power of this maritime giant can be said to be the most powerful maritime weapon in this period.

However, because the production of this kind of building warships is too time-consuming, despite the continuous rotation of twelve hours a day, Liu Jixing has built a total of ten ships so far, which also includes all large and small building ships.

As Liu Jixing's most trusted naval commander, Shao Tingqi controlled a total of seven warships and sailed as far as the Bohai Bay. But Liu Jixing knew that he was far from enough, because each building ship team needed a certain number of fighting ship guards, which was simply a bottomless pit of investment.

If it weren't for the two second-rate warships captured from the Wuyue Kingdom, if it weren't for the countless giant trees in Lingnan at this time, if it wasn't for the Liu family that had created countless wealth over the decades, I'm afraid Liu Jixing would have been without underwear long ago.

But now Liu Jixing is about the same, because the palace treasury has long been empty, and Liu Jixing has even taken out any valuable things that Emperor Gaozu had in the palace. Even Mrs. Qing Wang Yu couldn't stand it and stopped Liu Jixing from several actions, but Liu Jixing still had no regrets.

While Abbas was amassing money crazily, he even secretly contacted Chen Hongjin from Fujian to open Quanzhou, which was also a port.

Of course, Liu Jixing now built Hong Kong Bay and Xiangshan Bay in advance, and built both places into two important towns.

He even moved all the weapons and equipment that he needed to focus on developing to these places. Although many people still didn't understand it at this time, with the rise of the imperial navy, many people became ambitious.

Liu Jixing was not afraid of the independence of others. He still relied on the party to govern the army and strictly followed the initial development ideas of the largest party in his own era. Therefore, many young generals soon emerged in Liu Jixing's navy.

Now the ambitious Liu Jixing wants to start from the Bohai Bay to the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and even the South China Sea and the Beibu Gulf.

Because it traveled freely through the Bohai Bay and the Yellow Sea, it basically solved the Khitan and Liao Kingdom's exchanges, and could also control the vassal towns of the Zhou Kingdom. The inspection along the entire East China Sea basically shocked the Tang and Wu Yue states. The South China Sea was originally the territory of Lingnan, and Liu Jixing vigorously developed trade with overseas countries.

Now Shao Tingqi controls the entire Ryukyu Islands and can be said to be a true maritime overlord. Liu Jixing has never worried about Shao Tingqi's betrayal. After all, the secret party's power has already begun to bear fruit.

Although these days, from Shao Tingqi's intelligence, he learned that a ship from the East was captured at sea, but Shao Tingqi was obviously not sure of the other party's purpose of coming to the Central Plains. Now that people have been brought to the palace, Liu Jixing naturally wants to know what the situation is like on the Fuso Islands.

Because if this matter is a national matter of Fusang Kingdom, the contact here is the best opportunity for the imperial court to understand Fusang. Liu Jixing vaguely remembered that Fusang was more carefree than the Central Plains at this time, so Liu Jixing still felt a little unhappy.

Although the Central Plains has never looked down upon Fusang, even after the Central Plains split, they still looked down upon the small country of Fusang.

But in fact, at this time, the era of domestic peace in Fuso Kingdom began. This can be said to be the most dynamic period in the history of Fuso Country. However, the inherent thinking of the Central Plains people is that the Fusang people are too barbaric and uncivilized, so they are not worthy of much attention.

This kind of inherent high-level thinking means that the different separatist forces in the Central Plains also have the same idea. Just as the Central Plains looked down upon Lingnan and Dali, the regimes in these remote areas were the same. No one can change this view that kills people.

At this time, Wu Zhonghan glanced at the Fuso people and couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Because the imperial court has controlled the sea of ​​Ryukyu, the pirates that have been rampant in recent years have basically disappeared. The formerly chaotic sea is now relatively quiet. But in recent years, the imperial court has not cooperated with them. We have had contact with Fuso Country! This time, Fuso's big ship suddenly encountered an accident and was captured by the navy, so we directly brought the leader of the ship!"

Perhaps thinking of something, Wu Zhonghan glanced at the several Fusang people beside him. Seeing that they still didn't say anything, he continued: "My subordinates have conducted preliminary interrogations. Because the relationship is quite important, I ask your Majesty to make a decision in person!"

"Oh!" Liu Jixing couldn't help but pondered when Wu Zhonghan said this.

From Wu Zhonghan's words, Liu Jixing naturally understood something, that is, this matter is not that simple!

Then the eunuchs on the side instructed these Fusang people to salute. It seemed that these people could actually understand the Mandarin of the Central Plains. When they heard that the young man sitting in the hall was actually an emperor of the Central Plains, even the bravest people could not help but follow him. He prostrated himself in front of the palace and saluted.

Liu Jixing did not wear court clothes, but only wore a light yellow gauze. Even Chen Shu, who was sitting nearby, was wearing a light gauze and was fanning Liu Jixing with a round fan.

Looking at these Fuso people, there were a few of them who were somewhat muscular, with two horizontal knives of different lengths stuck on their waists. Originally, Wu Zhonghan was so cautious that it was impossible for someone to bring weapons into the palace, but there might be some reason.

Because there were nine of them, Liu Jixing took a closer look and ordered someone to get them up. Then I saw several people guarding two women, one of whom seemed to be quite noble.

These people seemed to understand Liu Jixing's inquiry. One of them, a middle-aged man with a square face, came out of the queue, then clasped his fists and saluted and said: "Liu Xia Tingyun, the seat of Xiaoye Palace, has met His Majesty the Emperor of Han!"

Unexpectedly, this man actually spoke official Mandarin and clasped his fists towards Liu Jixing again without being humble or condescending. Liu Jixing glanced at the knife on his waist and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Are you under the command of Emperor Murakami?"

Liu Xia Tingyun was shocked when he heard that Liu Jixing actually knew Emperor Murakami, and then looked at Liu Jixing in surprise: "Your Majesty knows about His Majesty the Emperor?" He also looked at the girl surrounded by him, and saw the same expression on her face. Surprised.

Maybe he saw that Liu Jixing was sitting there with the old god and didn't mean to say anything, so he immediately continued: "Master Zhi Gong was entrusted by the Ono Palace to come to the Central Plains to pay a visit to the Emperor of the Central Plains. Our journey on the sea was relatively smooth. Who knows When we arrived at the East China Sea, we actually encountered a group of pirates and launched an attack on us!"
