The father is the father, the son is the son, the slave is the slave, and the master is the master. And the master cannot be disturbed easily. Therefore, the informant just rushed to the southeast corner according to the rules and came to report on his work, mainly the movements of Li Er and Li Sheng——
I mentioned it in passing when reporting on the situation observed in China.
Regarding this news, Pei Ji...
At first, he didn't have any special interest. He even almost forgot about this strange anecdote. He impatiently urged the boy to pick out the key points quickly and said, "If it's no big deal, just get out and don't disturb the master's Qing Xiu" - but in the end, Pei Ji still paid attention.
Got here.
It was not that Pei Ji was idle and meddling in other people's business, or that he suddenly became interested in sightseeing - the phrase "Overseas New World" sounded to Pei Ji as a topic of sightseeing, but
Because Pei Ji suddenly remembered an old news.
This old news is not far away. It was precisely before that Li Er sent several fleets to set off separately to find the New World on the other side of the East China Sea...
That’s right, the same three words, New World!
Pei Ji didn't know much about what this New World was, what it looked like, its customs, water and soil products. But... hearing the words "New World" at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of familiarity in his heart, because
I don’t know much about it, but I do know about the vast fertile fields and vast tracts of fertile land in the New World!
And this is not some secret news. There has been a nautical chart circulating among the people for a long time. There are rumors that it is the nautical chart hanging in Li Er's study. Although Pei Ji cannot believe this situation, he definitely dare not not believe it.
Because of the information I collected, this mysterious sea map circulated everywhere...
The terrain details are almost the same.
and,
The location of this new continent is not in the East China Sea, but far outside the East China Sea!
In other words... In the past, China's folklore legends generally said that there was a fairy island in the East China Sea, and that there were immortals living on it. However, this legend was directly spread outside the East China Sea - but in fact
No one in the world knows how big the East China Sea is in China.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that it is very far away from the East China Sea, and such a far away place... even maritime merchants are unwilling to go and are too lazy to run, let alone ordinary people. Various folk stories of this kind are often spread
The "explanations" are all jokes about turtles and monsters. However... these countless jokes are so similar, and what's even more weird is that there is a map that is highly similar in details.
This is hard to bear, and a thoughtful person can easily see that this is not groundless.
And Pei Ji was obviously part of the intellectual class of the Tang Dynasty, or even one of its elites. As an elite figure, Pei Ji naturally thought of this. Of course...
As a member of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, isn't this something very important to Pei Ji? Who would do that to open up new territories and conquer the world?
Qin Shihuang! And Qin Shihuang is a full-fledged tyrant. Of course, Pei Ji will not be interested in such things. But this time...
When Pei Ji heard these words, his mind went blank... and immediately after the blank, he broke into a cold sweat. He realized that he might have to take this topic seriously.
if……
If Wu Xing Qi Wang really couldn't find another good place, then he might just have to try to find the "New World"... But he still remembered all the legends of the New World.
——Although each version of the legend is different, they all have several things in common. One of them is the map. On the New World charts circulated in various places, the shapes of the cold and hot zones in the north and south are basically the same.
The second is that it is far away, too far away. Chinese literati often use the term "ends of the world" to describe remoteness, and the farther one is "in the East China Sea", but this new continent goes directly beyond the East China Sea.
In such a remote place, if you want to use it to resettle the Five Surnames and Qiwang and regain their power... Don't say whether there are fertile fields, thousands of miles of fertile land, and say that even if there are, several big families like the Five Surnames and Qiwang will go there, and the fleet will
There are no less than dozens of large ships, just like when we first went to sea...
With so many big ships going out to sea, it is not easy to get from China to Southeast Bay. Now that they are going to the New World, it feels even more overwhelming.
The matter was so important that Pei Ji didn't dare to make a decision easily.
If you want to leave, you have to discuss it with Wang Jing and others. More importantly, you have to figure out the good and bad luck along the way. Otherwise... the New World is so fertile and wild that it has not attracted people from all over the world to rush there?
And if that situation doesn't happen now, doesn't it mean that the journey is extremely dangerous. No matter how great the ship Li Sheng built, this long voyage is too...
It’s too long. No one really dares to risk their lives to challenge destiny. At least most people don’t dare to do so. And... most people will really die if they challenge destiny. But those who can survive to see the fruits of victory
People... It is not without reason that the Chinese people do not have a monotheistic religion but believe in "the destiny of heaven".
And Pei Ji graduated from junior high school... No, he has not believed in such middle-class things as destiny since the age of Shu Xiu. He wants to travel across the ocean to find a new continent and establish a great cause? As long as any of the children of the old Pei family dares to mention it, Pei Ji will.
Break this unfilial son's legs immediately.
So this path is definitely... not easy to choose, but what if you don't choose it?
What is waiting for the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes is just chronic death... It is not even necessarily chronic, because in addition to China being occupied by demons, Southeast Diao is also a group of unreliable people. As for the Tianzhu subcontinent...
That means the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and it would be fine if the brothers could establish a firm foothold in that kind of place, but obviously... Li Er's people had already started to manage that place a few years ago. It is said that Li Er
The governor sent there was a little Persian girl, who was also the one who came to negotiate with the brothers at that time. This girl was extremely capable. It is said that she even worshiped Xiao Yu as her adoptive father, which is equivalent to saying...
Yes, Xiao Yu also has power in the subcontinent. This is Li Er's person and Xiao Yu, his old enemy. Can he go to that place? That's simply...
If we return to China, Li Er may have to cut off the capital resources in the hands of his brothers, but at least he will not risk his life... Li Er has an advantage, he is quite cautious about killing, but when it comes
In the land of Tianzhu... things are completely difficult to say.
When the time comes when the foothold is unstable and someone is really killing him every minute - then there really is no one in the world who can reason with him, and things will just turn over like that. After all... who can control a place as far away as Tianzhu?
