The sea breeze blew on everyone's faces.

Zhou Shengzhi didn't feel irritated or depressed this time, because he was finally no longer in charge this time.

Liu Chang stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the endless ocean in the distance, and raised his chin proudly.

Because the emperor was traveling with them, the morale of the entire ship army was very high. They no longer dared to neglect, let alone complain, and showed their best side in front of the emperor. The emperor treated them because of the opening of the route.

A large-scale reward was carried out, and the titles of all the soldiers who participated in the voyage were promoted. After they returned to the Han Dynasty, a second reward was given, including land, money, etc.

This makes them full of energy.

Finally they ate the pie that Zhou Shengzhi drew for them.

Zhou Shengzhi stood beside Liu Chang, confusion written on his face.

"Your Majesty... I don't understand. Why are you in such a hurry to go back when you haven't finished the business?"

Liu Dayi said calmly: "I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, how can I stay away from home without returning? What should I do if there is any trouble in the country? Since I have put down the thieves here, of course I have to go back quickly!"

Zhou Shengzhi asked hesitantly: "Is it because it is difficult to deal with body poison?"

Liu Chang's aura suddenly weakened by three points.

"Yeah... everyone has different ideas, and what everyone says makes sense... If I take care of all the things about Shendu before I go back, I'm afraid An will become a big father... I

But I can't wait. I still have a lot of things to do, so I have to trouble Taiwei, Feng Jing and Alie a little... Yafu returned from Xiting with his elite troops, and the army of Xiting Kingdom

Entering the Peacock Kingdom..."

Zhou Shengzhi shook his head, "Your Majesty, if you can't handle it yourself, just run away. Wouldn't it be bad?"

"How can this be said to be running away?"

"My purpose is to calm down the body poison, so that people with body poison will no longer dare to disobey the big man. I have achieved my goal. As for the follow-up arrangements, naturally it is up to the ministers to figure out a solution. If everything goes well

If I have to take care of it, what else do they need? They might as well go home and raise pigs and dogs!"

Zhou Shengzhi couldn't help but applaud, His Majesty was really tough in the absence of the Taiwei!

Liu Chang smiled and said: "Besides, we have actually agreed on the next management plan."

"Zhou Yafu said to ignore them, Lu Tazhi said to establish counties and counties, Taiwei said to send cruel officials to clean up the nobles, Ali said that castes should be abolished and the people at the bottom should be recruited to deal with the local powerful..."

Of course Zhou Shengzhi knew about this, because there were four different opinions on the follow-up arrangements for Shendu.

Each of the four people had different supporters, among whom Lieutenant Yi had the most say. His Majesty was unable to decide which method to adopt for a while.

Zhou Shengzhi asked curiously: "Then which policy did His Majesty choose in the end?"

"Only Xiahou Zao can make a choice. Of course I want them all!"

"They are actually wrong. They regard Shendu as a whole. Shendu is just a concept left by the Mauryan Empire. In fact, it is wrong to treat them as a whole. The cultural customs in different places are different. It should be

You have to look at them separately."

"Like the Maurya Kingdom, they have the strongest national power, and the powerful people in the country have always been ambitious. If they want to regain the territory of the Maurya Empire, it may become a hidden danger. Therefore, I will use the method of Taiwei in the Maurya Kingdom and send cruel officials to assist.

The Mauryan King governs the country, cleans out the ambitious nobles in their country, suppresses their own strength, uses strong methods to stabilize the local area, and becomes a permanent appendage of the Han Dynasty... Baicheng has been defeated, and there is almost no fighting power in the country. The nobles

There were heavy casualties, the country was in depression, and their geographical location was very good, right on the coast... So in Baicheng, I decided to adopt Lu Tazhi's statement."

"Establishing two counties here, under the direct jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, garrisoning troops here, and supervising all the countries in Shendu through Baicheng is like driving a nail into Shendu."

"In the southwestern region of Shendu, civil conflicts are very acute. The monks of the pagoda often criticize caste, and the people at the bottom begin to believe in the pagoda, while the upper echelons are still Brahmins, so there are often rebellions... Moreover, the people here are brave, and Ali was born here.

, so I decided to abolish the caste system here and win over the lower class here to restrict the upper class..."

"As for other areas, there are many small countries here, there is no danger to the Han Dynasty, the country is peaceful, and there are no hidden dangers, so we can adopt Zhou Yafu's idea and ignore it."

Liu Chang said seriously, but Zhou Shengzhi was dumbfounded.

Liu Chang continued: "This is also conducive to dividing the poisonous people, dividing them into four different forces, reducing the possibility of them uniting to resist in the future... In victory, there is no best policy, only the most suitable

The implementation of all systems depends on the situation. If it is inconsistent with the situation, it may cause big problems... No matter how good the system is, it is like this."

“Teachable!!”

Zhou Shengzhi saluted Liu Chang with sincerity. After not seeing him for so many years, His Majesty finally became more reliable.

"I only need to give you a general direction, and of course I can leave other matters to the ministers... So I don't have to stay with them... I can follow you back, and we will look at the route together along the way.

, I also have to see the strength of the countries along the way. I haven’t visited the countries in the south for a long time, so..."

Liu Chang grinned.

Zhou Shengzhi looked at the ocean in the distance and sighed.

"Actually, the sea is nothing to look at. I'm tired of this sea route. Your Majesty, just don't let me be responsible for navigation between the two places in the future..."

Liu Chang laughed, "You may not have this opportunity if you want it. Let me tell you, with the abundant supplies of Shendu, when the merchants learned that there was a road that could reach Shendu in a few months, and they could also bring them back.

When there is a large amount of supplies, this route will be full... The number of ships along the route will be difficult to count. When the time comes, you can just send ships to protect their safety and clean up the bandits along the way... It does not require you to sail here many times.

..But, Shengzhi, the body poison is just a springboard. If we continue walking west along the shore, how much can we get?"

Zhou Shengzhi's face was full of helplessness, "It's okay to explore, but I have to rest for a year."

Zhou Shengzhi's words were somewhat treasonous. They were bargaining with the emperor's edict. If it were any other emperor, something big would happen, but Liu Chang didn't care about this at all.

They grew up together and always talked about whatever they had.

Liu Chang knew the pain and fatigue of pioneer explorers, and even if Zhou Shengzhi didn't mention it, he was prepared to let Shengzhi rest for a year before setting off.

After receiving His Majesty's promise, Zhou Shengzhi finally felt much better.

Now, he can finally complain about life at sea.

He told Liu Chang seriously about the various situations he encountered during his trip to sea, and also introduced the noble guide from Funan to Liu Chang.

Liu Chang looked at him curiously. He was the complete opposite of Zhou Shengzhi.

He didn't look tired at all, looking around in high spirits, and seemed to be enjoying his voyage.

But in front of the Han Emperor, this man seemed a little restrained.

"May I have your name?"

"I, Tu Shi, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Tu? A good brother of mine is also named Tu..."

"Actually, I don't have a surname..."

"Suddenly...you seem to like going to sea very much?"

"Yes, I have been going to sea since I was a child. My favorite thing in my life is to explore overseas... If Your Majesty can give me a ship, I am willing to explore the surrounding areas for Your Majesty... I will definitely live up to your high expectations...

"

Tu Shi may have realized that this was an opportunity for him and hurriedly opened his mouth to fight for it.

Liu Chang smiled and patted his shoulder, "It's great that you have such courage, but people can't just have courage. If you really dare to explore the open sea, yes, you can explore the surrounding South Vietnam for me first.

, prove that you have the ability to pilot alone, and when the time comes, I will send you to explore the distant sea..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

Tu Shi was a little worried at first that he would not be reused because of his origin. After all, the generals in the Han Dynasty did not seem to like people who were not born in the Han Dynasty. For example, the very tall general was worshiping him.

When he was walking, he knocked himself away and turned a blind eye to himself.

However, now he can feel at ease. His Majesty does not care about this. The generals he recovered this time are all poisonous people.

Liu Chang really doesn't care about this. He only cares about whether the person in front of him is capable and can be used by him.

He believes that he can convince anyone to use him for his own purposes.

I also believe that I have the ability to suppress everyone.

Only a king whose own strength is insufficient would be afraid that he would not be able to intimidate his ministers, such as my father.

Why did my father want to arrest the master? Isn’t it because his ability is not as good as his father’s, and he is much younger than himself, so he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress him?

Liu Chang couldn't help but feel proud, he was more capable and completely suppressed the master!

Suppression is suppression, and it’s hard to say who is suppressing whom.

With Liu Chang here, even this boring sailing becomes interesting. Liu Chang is a very talkative person. He can even chat with a sailor in charge of the pedals for more than half an hour, and he still insists on trying.

Try his job.

After staying on the ship for half a month, he got to know almost everyone on the ship. He knew everyone on the ship and was even close to them.

The soldiers never thought that one day they would be so familiar with His Majesty.

From now on, when I go back, I can brag about it to everyone around me, and I don’t have to worry about embroidering clothes to cause trouble for me.

But when they approached the coast of Funan Kingdom, they saw smoke rising into the sky from a distance, and could faintly hear shouts of killing.

Zhou Shengzhi's expression changed drastically, but Liu Chang remained calm.

"Fourth brother is so quick to do it?"
