On the blue sea, the wind is calm.
The sun was scorching, and the sky was dotted with a few white clouds.
On the deck of the ironclad ship, the two of them were leaning on deck chairs, wearing short shirts and straw hats on their heads.
Two thick fishing rods were mounted on the side of the boat, and the fishing lines drifted with the movement of the boat.
Suddenly, the fishing line tightened and a tremor came from the fishing rod.
Li Yuanzhao reacted immediately, took off his straw hat, stood up and held the fishing rod.
Fang Zhengyi slightly opened the brim of his straw hat and looked towards Li Yuanzhao.
A hint of contempt appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Stupid, this fishing rod is crudely made. It can be said that it is just a rope tied to an iron rod and a fishhook at the tip.
There are so many fish in the sea. You still want to imitate other people’s fishing with this ‘fishing rod’ that doesn’t even have a fishing reel?
Li Yuanzhao may be smart, but he is far behind in fishing.
I have seen him catch a chance before, but that was during the novice protection period...
As expected, it was not what Fang Zhengyi expected. Li Yuanzhao pulled on the fishing rod, his face turned red from holding back.
He was pulling backwards like crazy, wrestling with the big fish in the sea.
Staggering, Li Yuanzhao managed to avoid being dragged off the boat by the fish.
This move immediately alerted the surrounding Jinyi guards, who wanted to step forward to help.
When Li Yuanzhao saw this, he yelled: "No one is allowed to come here! Let's see how I subdue this evil fish!"
After that, under Fang Zheng's dumbfounded expression, he took out the revolver from his arms!
Bang bang bang six shots, all the bullets were empty.
The sea surface was soon dyed blood red.
Li Yuanzhao dropped the fishing rod and said with a proud smile: "Pull it up and eat fish meat at noon today."
Fang Zheng's face was ashen. When he saw the dolphin that was pulled up with six bloody holes in its body, his face turned from green to black...
You pure beasts, when you shoot fish with a gun, you shoot dolphins.
"Your Majesty, this fish is extremely human and should not be killed again."
"It's just a fat fish. It's really boring." Li Yuanzhao sat back on the recliner and put on his straw hat. "This day is really enough. When can I get to the Holy City every day? I should have gone to Feka to stay for some time." .”
As soon as Fang Zheng looked into the distance, he also felt a little tired.
After being trapped in this small world for a long time, people can't bear it.
But judging by the time, it shouldn't take long to reach the Holy City.
On the way, they had separated several ships and headed to Fika Station to inform the news.
He and Li Yuanzhao went straight to the Holy City.
"Be patient, Your Majesty, it should be here soon."
Li Yuanzhao hummed: "Old Fang, this time I came out, I felt how high the sky is and how vast the earth is. Where do you think the boundary of this world is? Are there other continents?"
"Eighty percent yes. If you have time in the future, Your Majesty will send as many people as possible to explore the New World."
Li Yuanzhao became more interested, stood up and asked: "Then do you think there is an extremely powerful country on another continent that can compete with my great scene?"
Fang Zheng thought for a moment and chose to shake his head.
He had considered this problem before, but reason told him it couldn't exist.
The geography of this world is very different from Earth.
Basically, continental masses are divided by oceans, which shows that the resistance to the spread of Eastern and Western craftsmanship and culture is extremely high.
Only with the development of ocean-going technology will it be possible for both parties to communicate on a large scale.
Without abnormal opportunities, the same cultural development state may take hundreds of years longer than on Earth to integrate and promote modern civilization.
As for Dajing's fleet that has been sailing to the West for so long, there has been no news about the activities of other mainland personnel.
Then there are only two possibilities. There are no other continents in the world.
The second type is more reliable. There are other continents, but the continent is rich in resources. The local races have high-yielding crops and developed animal husbandry, and lack the motivation to go out for development.
Just like Indians.
"It is very likely that there are other continents, but they are closed and self-sufficient and far from being able to compete with the great scenery."
Li Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows and said: "If there is such a place, wouldn't it mean that if the outside world discovers it, it will be slaughtered by others?"
"Yes, there will most likely be a tragic massacre."
"Oh, then it's better for me to send people to explore as soon as possible and influence the other party with a teacher of benevolence and righteousness."
Fang Zheng hesitated as soon as he started to speak: "What your Majesty said makes sense. If there is such a land, it may be ruined by outsiders. It is better to let my benevolent and righteous master of Dajing protect it, but now is not the time."
"Your Majesty, remember the microscopic bugs in living things. Many microscopic bugs transmit diseases. An isolated continent must be fragile. It has its own ecology. If outside species invade, microscopic bugs may cause the spread of plague. This is a comparison with guns. Cannons also require efficient and cruel killing methods."
Li Yuanzhao narrowed his eyes: "Plague...yes, why didn't I expect that the medical school can completely make microscopic insects into plague weapons and use them in wars? Isn't this subduing the enemy without fighting?"
Fang Zheng's heartbeat quickened.
This guy's mind is so fast, why did he think of this?
"Your Majesty, this move harms the harmony of heaven and earth, is enough to make people and gods angry, and greatly damages the majesty of the heavenly family." Fang Zheng said seriously, "and it hurts the enemy and ourselves. The plague is far from being something we can fully control."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm just talking. The plague thing is really... a port? I saw the port!" Li Yuanzhao was shocked and immediately jumped up from the recliner, looking ahead.
A port suddenly appeared in the distance, with some small boats floating on the sea.
Fang Zhengyi immediately called the accompanying crew members and picked up the charts to compare.
After carefully screening for a while, the sailor said firmly: "Back to Your Majesty, that is the port we built. From now on, after the ship stops at the port, you can go to the Holy City."
Fang Zheng was extremely happy.
Life on this ship is finally coming to an end. Before setting sail, a fleet has been dispatched to notify the Holy City to meet them at the port.
There is no rush to fight, the rhythm is controlled by Da Jing.
This time... when I go to the city, I will have a few days of good sleep and experience the exotic customs before making any plans.
Li Yuanzhao was equally excited. He raised his hands and shouted: "Okay! Follow my order and move forward at full speed!"
.....
Li Yuanzhao, Fang Zheng and others were moving forward at high speed, being left behind by the large force transporting goods, with only two thousand armed guards escorting them.
The Holy City was notified first, and Lai Gouer led many people to greet him.
Also welcoming him were Pope Solje, Master Wu and others.
With everyone's eager anticipation, Li Yuanzhao and Fang Zheng finally appeared outside the Holy City.
As the two sides gradually approached, Lai Gouer immediately stepped forward and prostrated himself on the ground.
"I'm a lazy dog, please see your majesty!"
"Good, good! Flat!" Li Yuanzhao looked at the majestic city in front of him excitedly and praised, "Yes, is this the holy city? Although foreigners are vulnerable, this city is still extraordinary. Please give me a closer look later. Let me introduce you.”
Father Sorjie scanned the crowd. When he saw Fang Zhengyi for the first time, he smiled, spread his arms and walked up.
"Master Hou, long time no see."
Fang Zhengyi greeted him warmly and stepped forward to chat.
Zhou Tie and Xie Xian gathered together in the crowd, and their eyes lit up when they saw Wu Sheng.
Zhou Tie ran quickly and approached Wu Sheng excitedly: "Master, long time no see!"
Xie Xian followed closely and said hello.
"Yeah, yeah." Wu Sheng stroked his beard, his face beaming with joy when he saw an acquaintance, "I didn't expect you guys to come too?"
Zhou Tie looked around, licked his lips, and asked in a low voice: "Master, are there any prostitutes in this city?"
Wu Sheng was not surprised at all, nodded and said: "Yes, you are looking for a foreign girl, right? I know a good one. There are local girls from the Holy City and foreign girls from Fika. If you want to go, I will find someone to take you later. Go, the prices here are different from those in other places, the local prices are quite expensive.”
Zhou Tie's breathing became heavier: "Then I'll try local products."
Xie Xian covered his heart and immediately took a few steps back, as if he had been shot in the heart.
"Old Zhou, you..."
A huge feeling of betrayal came over me!
Everyone is obviously weak, why are you suddenly okay again?
But the next second, Xie Xian felt relieved, and there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
"Master, can you get half the price if you just lick it?"
"???"
.....
