Chapter 359 Ten Thousand Miles Away
There is a new building complex in Xicheng District of Anyang. At the entrance of the building complex, there is a huge stone as high as ten feet. The huge stone is a purple crystal stone obtained from the sea. It is just a simple processing, simple, luxurious and simple.
The owner of this building complex is Anyang's upstart, a rapidly rising beauty businessman, Xie Yuhua. This businesswoman who built the conference building for the first time has now become the "crested head" of Anyang's real estate industry.
Seeing more and more people coming to Anyang, Xie Yuhua is optimistic about the business opportunities of villas and manor-style inns/hotels. Sure enough, after the Zizhu Manor was established, it just happened to catch up with the upcoming "Cultivation Conference" in Anyang; within a few days, the Zizhu Manor was overcrowded.
And today, Xie Yuhua is talking with Lu Jinyang, the deputy head of Nine Suns Sect from Wei State.
Lu Jinyang was very curious about Anyang, and after renting a courtyard, he went to talk to Xie Yuhua directly. As a deputy head, Lu Jinyang knows very well that if he wants to find out the specific situation of Anyang, the female president of Zizhu Group is definitely the best person to consult.
Xie Yuhua did not refuse, but thought it was an opportunity.
Since the morning, Lu Jinyang has not stopped marveling. "In this way, Anyang doesn't care about righteousness, evil, Taoism or demons, as long as you abide by the laws of Anyang. Then... will this encourage evil?"
"No!" Xie Yuhua is confident, elegant, noble and dignified, "It can be said that 80% of the laws in Anyang are positive; most of the remaining laws are for punishing villains. In fact, the laws of Anyang are almost completely in line with the righteous way." , moral standards of justice.
It's just because the laws here in Anyang are public and all codes of conduct have standards, so the villains here also know how to live and restrain their minions. In fact, as long as the laws of Anyang are obeyed, it is almost impossible to do evil. In this way, the legal system also has a considerable guiding and enlightening function.
But again, the rule of law has its downsides..."
"Deputy head, something is wrong!" At this moment, a guard rushed in, "Deacon Feng Buying was arrested and is being interviewed at the gate of the court, and the court's ruling is due in an hour and a half.
I heard from people here in Anyang that those who commit murder or attempted murder in the street will be sentenced to about 30 years. "
Lu Jinyang was shocked, "Say, what's going on?"
The guard hurriedly said it again; Lu Jinyang was furious and was going to make a scene in the court...
"Wait!" Xie Yuhua hurriedly said, with an unprecedented seriousness on his face: "Reverend Jinyang, if you go to make a scene in the court now, you may violate Anyang's 'jail robbery' judicial regulations, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Please calm down, here in Anyang, everything has laws to follow. Feng Buying only attempted murder, and she will stay in prison for a few years at most, her life will not be in danger, and she will not suffer any abuse. "
Lu Jinyang was already angry, "It is unforgivable that Anyang dares to detain our people for eliminating demons and defending Taoism."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuhua asked back: "Reverend Jin Yang, may I ask: Is it a just act to kill people in the street?"
………………
Tens of thousands of miles to the south of Anyang, there is a region of rivers, lakes, and islands. This is the world further south of Liu Guo, a world that is close to the southern tip of Yingzhou.
Here is a water town; the shipbuilding industry here is very developed, because people cannot do without ships in their daily life. And here, there are two most powerful countries-Wu State in the north and Yue State in the south.
On this land, Wu and Yue fought all the year round, but no one could do anything to the other. Because of the criss-crossing rivers, numerous lakes, and numerous islands, the territories of Wu State and Yue State are huge, almost reaching about 8,000 miles. The waterways are criss-cross and the transportation is convenient, which is conducive to the centralization of power.
But also because of the vertical and horizontal waterways, resulting in fewer people and more land, the competition between the two countries has reached its limit, and it is difficult for anyone to go further. In such a geography, borders are difficult to defend.
Moreover, although traditional ships are very developed, they have limits after all. In today's absence of spirit stones and lack of sufficient cultivation resources, ordinary ships can no longer carry the competition between the two countries.
But this time, on a desolate island at the junction of the two countries, a barren black iron mine was unexpectedly discovered. This mine is very barren, and it takes only three to five days of mining black iron to barely refine a magic-level flying sword; but in this era, this black iron mine has also caused competition between the two countries, and now there is even more The death of a Nascent Soul stage master!
A foreseeable and tragic war is about to start between the two water country powers!
~~~~~~
On the sea, the waves were raging, and the huge waves shook the iron-clad ships; but the three warships took the lead, followed by six iron-hulled ships and merchant ships, crushing the waves all the way, and advancing in the sea.
On the 9 ships, two kinds of flags were hoisted, both of which were bright yellow on the upper half and dark blue on the lower half. The difference was that one flag was the purple Big Dipper, and the other was the red gold dragon.
At first, a warship with a length of 175 meters, like a mountain of steel, was advancing in the sea; on the bow, there were two Nascent Soul Qi and several Jin Danqi in military uniform, chatting and laughing happily. Two masters of the Nascent Soul Stage, a man and a woman, sat together intimately; perhaps because of the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage, the man was handsome and celestial;
The male Nascent Soul stage master smiled and said: "I never thought that I, Li Qingsong, would have a day to ride the sea; and I never thought that it would be so spectacular."
The officer in the costume of 'Vice Admiral of the Navy' said with a smile: "It's a great honor to ride the sea with my predecessors, I just hope Fairy Qingxia can like the sea."
The girl in the Nascent Soul stage smiled, "I can come to the sea to see, and ride such a huge ship on the sea, of course I like it very much."
The vice-marshal of the navy immediately became very proud: "This time, our goal is to go south and go south until half of the fuel is exhausted! It is estimated that the journey will be as high as 50,000 kilometers!"
The waves rolled, but they couldn't bury the heroic voice.
It turned out that when Anyang was about to hold a comprehension conference, Li Xian sent his men to start a brand new mission - to explore the south of Yingzhou.
The location of Anyang is further north, and it belongs to the boundary of the Yaozu, so it can only be explored to the south for the time being.
This time, Anyang dispatched a total of the latest 10,000-ton giant ship, two 80-meter-sized iron-clad ships, and sailed south with six iron-hulled merchant ships.
In order to go further, whether it is a battleship or an iron-hulled ship, they carry a lot less goods and more fuel.
The person in charge of this operation is Hao Youcai, one of the three generals of the Anyang Navy; during this operation, Hao Youcai was temporarily appointed as the "Vice Admiral of the Navy". If he performs well this time, he will become the real "Vice Admiral of the Navy" , not temporary.
The other two Nascent Soul masters are Li Qingsong, the head of the Mang Mountain Cultivation Dojo, and Li Qingsong's younger sister and wife Hong Qingxia.
And the six iron-hulled ships are:
Three ships from Pengcheng Wanli Group, the largest private commercial group in Anyang;
And Qingquan Commercial Bank two ships,
One of the Sancai Group.
These three groups are all experienced commercial firms/chambers/groups in Anyang, and they are also the ones with the most expansive spirit. Naturally, they also believe in Li Xian's vision the most.
This time, the three firms responded to Li Xian's call and prepared to open up and explore a new world.
In order to be able to carry out long-distance voyages, the cargo carried by the ship is actually only 30%, and the rest is almost all used to carry fuel, etc., and food; of course, the maintenance tools and equipment of the ship are indispensable.
With previous experience and accumulation, and sailors who are familiar with the sea, whether it is Anyang or a trading company, they have the clearest understanding of the profits of ocean transactions: the farther they go, the more lucrative the profits, and they are geometric multiples Increase! Just reselling the native products of the two places can make huge profits; but selling the unique high-tech products here in Anyang, especially some liquid pills, will bring even more terrifying benefits.
And if the benefits are rich, it will bring more luck and practice faster! In order to increase the strength of Anyang as soon as possible, to develop as soon as possible, and for personal interests, Anyang is ready to explore further south. Of course, the social foundation of Anyang is industry and commerce, so three commercial banks were also brought in to act together.
These three trading houses have their own iron-hulled ships, have their own sailors, are willing to take risks, and can afford to lose. But everything was done quietly. After the fleet left, not many people in Anyang knew about it, and those who knew it kept their mouths shut.
For the sake of practice, for wealth, and for the future, Anyang and its merchants began to explore the world beyond their vision.
