Not long after, a speedboat came quickly from the Kyushu.
"Report! The Qiongzhou encountered a provocation from the Franji Navy ahead. Battalion Commander Bai ordered the enemy to be defeated. The enemy general is now being captured. Please check with the prince."
Qin Yun waved his hand and said, "Bring him up!"
Not long after, several Zhulong Camp soldiers escorted Mike and Capeden up. The two looked at each other and communicated in French.
Cape Town: “This guy looks so young!”
Mike: "You are indeed young, but the actual age of Oriental people is older than what we see. Captain Capeden, it's better for us to keep a low profile. The Oriental cares about etiquette very much. You can follow me and hold your hands together like this." …”
Capeton sneered: "Mike, you, the illegitimate son of a knight's family, think that learning a little bit of pig language is great? I am the commander of the Far East Fleet of the Holy Franchise Kingdom, and I have the title of viscount. Tell him that I must be rewarded. Some treatment, I want wine, steak..."
"Do I have to arrange some blondes with big breasts and perky butts for you?"
"Of course..." Capeden turned to look at Mike.
"Are you talking?"
Mike shook his head and signaled Capeden to look at Qin Yun. At this time, Qin Yun walked up slowly with a smile on his face.
He said in French: "Viscount Capeden, what kind of treatment do you want?"
Capeton was shocked: "You can actually say what we say?"
Qin Yun smiled contemptuously in his heart. As a top agent, the most important thing is language ability. The language of Franji Country is somewhat similar to the Portuguese that Qin Yun learned in his previous life. Ordinary conversations can still be done.
Qin Yun smiled: "That's not important! What's important is that you invaded my king's sea area. How should this account be settled?"
Cape Den was relieved when he heard this. According to the rules of their war in the west, defeat is not the end, and they only need to be redeemed with enough gold coins.
"I am willing to exchange ten thousand gold coins for freedom!"
"Ten thousand?"
Mike hurriedly took out a gold coin from his arms, Qin Yun weighed it, and then his face darkened.
"Something mixed with gold or copper?"
Qin Yun threw it to Bai Wanqing, who took it and made an estimate.
"My lord, ten thousand gold coins is probably less than one million taels of silver."
Qin Yun sneered: "You are only worth this little money, which is not enough for my shells. Come on, throw it down and feed it to the sharks."
Mike Dahai: "No, distinguished King of the East, we are here to conduct friendly negotiations with your kingdom on behalf of the Holy Franchi Kingdom. Just now, it was your country that opened fire on us without any reason."
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "Really? Since it is trade, why did you come with warships? Why did you force Qiongzhou to open the port to you and allow you to station troops and colonize in Qiongzhou?"
Mike paused: "This...this is the result of our negotiation with the Daxia court."
Qin Yun chuckled and said: "Daxia is kneeling, what does it have to do with me?"
"Come here, take these two people to the water prison."
"promise!"
"No, I am a Viscount, I have noble blood, you can't do this to me!" Capeton shouted in French.
Qin Yun sneered: "You are a noble bird, just a bunch of robbers!"
Bai Wanqing on the side stepped forward with a worried look on her face: "Your Majesty, could it be that Daxia has really united with the Franco people?"
Qin Yun smiled: "It's not important. Daxia wants to contact the Franji people. Have you asked me about Qiongzhou? In these two months, I will teach them how to behave."
"Send the order, move forward at full speed, and get back to Qiongzhou before sunset!"
"promise!"
…
Qiongzhou, the palace.
Wang Muzhi led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him.
"Congratulations to my king on his triumphant return, and the great Qin Dynasty will be prosperous for generations to come!"
Qin Yun waved his hand and said: "Thank you for your hard work, dear sirs. I will no longer have this time. Thanks to you for handling Qiongzhou affairs."
"Especially Mr. Wang, he should take the lead."
Wang Muzhi: "My lord, you are so complimentary. A grand banquet to celebrate your victory has been prepared."
Qin Yun waved his hand: "This battle will consume a lot of money, so don't be extravagant and wasteful. I'll have enough to eat and drink on the boat, so I'll take the prepared banquet to the orphanage."
"Yes!" Wang Muzhi cupped his hands.
Qin Yun continued: "Let's just have a meeting!"
The ministers had long been accustomed to Qin Yun's vigorous and resolute actions, but they followed him to the meeting hall.
"Your Majesty, in the days since you left Qiongzhou, the overall development has tended to be good. The total trade volume has exceeded the 100 million mark. Qiongzhou Port has become a transfer station between the southeastern coast of Daxia and the Luzon Islands. We collect taxes from it. If the silver exceeds 4 million taels, it is expected to generate tax revenue of 20 to 30 million taels a year."
"This money is enough to offset the agricultural taxes in Qiongzhou and Ryukyu. From now on, the people will not have to pay agricultural taxes on any land distributed by the imperial court. However, Daqin has the priority to purchase grain."
Qin Yundao said: "Okay, Qiongzhou and Ryukyu are both islands, and are affected by strong seasonal winds. Developing trade is the best way out, but we cannot slack off in agriculture. The situation of the first batch of hybrid rice seed experimental fields brought back from Luochuan how's it going?"
Wang Muzhi: "Hui Wangye is growing well. The average rice yield per mu has increased by 200 kilograms. Now every mu of fertile land can produce about 350 kilograms of rice."
"not enough!"
Qin Yun shook his head. You must know that the peak of hybrid rice in the previous life was more than a thousand kilograms per acre, but this is only the first batch. It is already very powerful to double the amount.
After all, according to the original planting method, one acre of land could bear 150 kilograms of sky.
All the officials from the water conservancy and agriculture department were very nervous when they heard this.
But Qin Yun then said: "Although it has not reached the ideal state, it has been verified that this road is feasible. We must continue to send people to conduct in-depth research and cultivate a group of high-quality agricultural experts."
"Wang Muzhi, the next step is for me to build a fertilizer factory in Qiongzhou. With the fertilizer, the output should be further increased."
Wang Muzhi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise, but what is a fertilizer factory?"
Qin Yun smiled and said nothing. In his previous life, food production exploded. In fact, in addition to optimal breeding, the most important thing is that humans have mastered the technology of industrial preparation of chemical fertilizers.
Qin Yun now has a simple and feasible plan in his mind. First, build a power plant in Qiongzhou, electrolyze seawater to obtain hydrogen, and then mix hydrogen and natural gas under high temperature and high pressure to make synthetic ammonia. With synthetic ammonia, it can continue to mix with carbon dioxide under high temperature and high pressure. Forming urea, which is often referred to as chemical fertilizer.
Now that Qiongzhou is fully equipped to manufacture this thing, Qin Yun came back this time to ask people to build a chemical fertilizer factory. After all, having chemical fertilizer means high yield of food.
Whether it is for export or other industrial purposes, this thing is needed.
Of course, Qin Yun did not explain this to Wang Muzhi in detail. He had already informed Lu Ban on the ship. According to the plan, Zhutie Ling would continue to stay in Yue to supervise the production of airships and new ironclad ships.
Lu Ban was responsible for the overall planning this time in Qiongzhou, and by the way, he took along the group of craftsmen who had surrendered.
"This king has already asked Master Lu to do this. You only need to send someone to cooperate and be responsible. In short, with chemical fertilizers, the grain output can be doubled."
Everyone was delighted.
Wang Muzhi also smiled and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, God bless the Qin Dynasty."
"But, Your Majesty, we have a bigger problem that needs to be solved right now?"
"What's the problem?" Qin Yun frowned.
Wang Muzhi muttered: "That is the rectification of the name! Is Qiongzhou the Qiongzhou of Daxia, or is it a new country?"
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at the ministers: "What do you think?"
The ministers remained silent, and Qin Yun said with a smile: "Everyone, have you forgotten that we have the founding jade seal in our hands? That was left by the Taizu of Great Xia."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Qin was the Qin of Daxia, but it was not the Qin under the current rule of the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to continue to respect the imperial court?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Do you think the current emperor would like to see an independent country that divides Daxia's territory, or a feudal country affiliated with Daxia?"
Wang Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief. What he was worried about did not happen. He was afraid that the young man Qin Yun would directly threaten to leave Daxia or even become an enemy. In that case, wouldn't Qin become an isolated island?
Moreover, if Qin Yun really goes out on his own, he will lose the legal principles to aspire to be the leader of the Central Plains.
Qin Yun had been thinking about this on the road. It was right to start a new business, but there was no need to rebel against Daxia. What he is rebelling against is the corrupt bureaucracy of Daxia, and the aristocratic families, not the people of Daxia!
On the contrary, the reclamation of Ryukyu and the development of Qiongzhou are inseparable from people.
Qin Yun said seriously: "Tomorrow, Mr. Wang will write a letter and send it to the upper capital, saying that I, Qin Yun, will found the country as agreed."
Wang Muzhi: "Then what if His Majesty disagrees?"
Qin Yun grinned: "Then let's meet the real Qingjun again! My father is so reasonable, if he doesn't agree, there must be some villain at work, right?"
The ministers paused for a moment, then laughed.
"By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing to do, and that is about Franji Country's request for trade. They have tens of thousands of troops and are eyeing Qiongzhou."
Qin Yun: "Are you talking about these two birdmen?"
"Someone, bring them up!"
Mike and Capeden were dragged up tremblingly, and Wang Mu was stunned.
"Your Majesty is acting vigorously and resolutely, and I am so impressed that I am so impressed!"
Qin Yun: "These two guys bumped into the Qiongzhou and were punished by Bai Feiyang. They were talking about trade. Next time when people come, they don't need to see me and just fight them out. If they still have something to say, let them send troops. bring it on!"
"Lantian, how is the training of the Qiongzhou Third and Fourth Divisions?"
Lan Tian bowed forward and said, "My lord, the training has been completed, but they are just new recruits who have never fought in a battle."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Don't worry, you can train more and bleed less during battles. If you have something to do, you can take him out for a walk and fight against pirates."
"Okay, I know that you haven't eaten. Although you can't eat the big banquet, I can't treat you badly. Let's have a buffet barbecue tonight."
"But you have to provide the materials yourself!"
All the officials were very happy when they heard this: "I will give you a measure of rice, I will give you a pair of reindeer, I will give you a piglet..."
The ministers spoke freely, and the estrangement and strangeness they had not seen for two months disappeared instantly just because of a barbecue. Wang Muzhi knew that the prince was still the same prince, but Qiongzhou was no longer the same Qiongzhou as before.
The prince's return this time is like a blue dragon emerging from the water, with ambitions for the world!
