In the county town, there are sweaty men everywhere, the dust is flying, and the construction is carried out, but the buildings and roads are all built.

He only saw these yesterday. On the surface, Shanhai County is indeed not rich, but he found something different.

Everyone here is full of smiles, full of smiles of happiness and hope.

Even in prosperous Kyoto, he had never seen so many smiling faces.

Especially when he passed the city gate as he left the county seat, he watched the group of soldiers in armour and armed with spears open the city gate at a neat pace.

Those soldiers exuded firm intentions all over their bodies. They glanced at the pedestrians who came in and out with their eyes, but they didn't move. Only when a carriage loaded with goods passed by occasionally would they go forward to check.

It was when he saw the movements of these soldiers that he suddenly realized that they were real elite soldiers.

"Such a good soldier, I'm afraid that the Beijing camp is not as good!" He thought to himself at the time.

He was right, the soldiers guarding the gates were from the trap camp. Before the city guards had finished training, the trap camp had always been in charge of guarding Shanhai County.

Looking at the faint shadow in the north, Yu Shangxin frowned slightly at first, but quickly relaxed.

"Five princes, Xiaguan is looking forward to your blockbuster moment. Xiaguan will be waiting in Beishan provincial capital."

The whispered voice echoed in the mountains and forests, full of expectation and yearning.

……

In the palace.

After Zheng Ming practiced the sword for a while, he sat at the desk in the study and started writing.

He has been writing in the study these days when he has nothing to do.

What he wrote was some basic scientific knowledge, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. He wrote down everything he had an impression on first, and forgot it later.

"Your Highness, what did you write?"

Song Baobao looked at Zheng Ming's writing of 1 to [-] and asked with a puzzled face.

Zheng Ming smiled and said, "This is a number. This is one, two..."

He explained it briefly.

Arabic numerals have simple strokes, clear images, and short group numbers, which are beneficial to calculations, statistics, and learning. If Zheng Ming wants to promote scientific knowledge, mathematics must be promoted first, and Arabic numerals are the basis for the promotion of mathematics.

"It feels so hard to write." Song Baobao tried to copy it again, and it was crooked.

Zheng Ming laughed and said, "You will feel better when you practice a few more times."

Song Baobao heard the words, and copied it several times, and it really looked like a decent person.

Zheng Ming taught her while recording, and an hour passed before she knew it.

"His Royal Highness, there is an old man named Huang Yu outside the door asking to see you." Xiao Fuzi came to report again.

Zheng Ming was slightly taken aback.

"Huang Yu! The owner of Beixuan Island!"

Yu Shangxin has just sent off, and the Yellow Island Lord has come again. Shanhai County has been quite lively these days.

"Please come in, um, go and find Lianxing first."

After a while, Lian Xing came and stood silently behind Zheng Ming, pinching Zheng Ming's shoulders softly.

And Zheng Ming also put down his pen and enjoyed the service of the beauty.

The faint fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, making him a little nervous.

"Huang Yu, the grassman, pays respects to His Royal Highness the King of the County."

Huang Yu walked into the study, glanced at Zheng Ming first, and immediately bowed his hands.

Zheng Ming looked up at him, a little surprised.

This Huangdao owner is a little sloppy.

Lian Xing looked up at Huang Yu, but did not speak.

Although Huang Yu did the same salute as Li Chuan, the difference was that Huang Yu was not arrogant, Zheng Ming did not speak, and he did not stand up by himself.

"Get up, sir, please take a seat." Zheng Ming smiled.

Xiao Fuzi immediately brought a chair and placed it behind Huang Yu.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Huang Yu thanked him respectfully, and then sat down on the chair with a solemn expression.

"Have you seen Yuhuatian?" Zheng Ming asked.

"Go back to His Highness, Caomin met the Rain Director yesterday." Huang Yu replied.

Zheng Ming asked curiously, "How did he tell you?"

"Master Yu invites Caomin to join His Highness. The condition is the order of the sect, and he also said that there is a first-rank master in Shanhai County." Huang Yu said concisely.

Zheng Ming nodded and said with a chuckle, "Which one is more attractive to you, Zongmenling or a first-rank master?"

Huang Yu lowered his head and said, "A rank one master."

"Oh!" Zheng Ming was a little surprised and said, "You don't want a sect order?"

"No, Caomin wants sect orders, but he wants to get the guidance of a [-]st rank master. If he can break through to [-]nd rank, Caomin will have no regrets in this life." Huang Yu said.

Zheng Ming was stunned, and at the same time he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

No wonder the Hundred Refinements Sect within the Dali Dynasty was more popular with the sects.

Martial artists pay more attention to martial arts.

Compared with power and official position, he prefers to get the guidance of masters.

And Bailianzong is precisely the place with the most masters in the Dali Dynasty, even the royal family and the court are far inferior.

"Then you Beixuan Island are willing to accept this king's sect order?" Zheng Ming said.

"Caomin and Beixuandao are willing to serve His Highness." Huang Yu stood up and said again.

Zheng Ming smiled slightly and warned: "Zongmen's order can give you Beixuan Island, and Lianxing can also give you pointers, but if you dare to disobey this king, then don't blame this king for being rude."

"Caomin dare not!" Huang Yu said in a deep voice.

Since he has come, he has already decided to surrender.

Half-hearted is not his style.

"Very good." Zheng Ming nodded slightly and said, "But Beixuan Island is a little far from Shanhai County. Would you like to choose a resident in Shanhai County?"

"Well, this king will provide the resources you need in the future."

There are only more than 300 people in the huge Beixuan Island, which is really a waste. If Beixuan Island is developed, it can support 3 people.

Huang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "The Caomin wants to choose a place in the northern mountain as the sect's residence, and I hope His Highness will allow it."

"Yes, all construction costs will be borne by the county government. In addition, if you provide a list, the king will arrange them into the county government or the army. And regarding disciples, how about recruiting 100 people?" Xuanzong's value was completely squeezed out.

Huang Yu replied: "The grass people obey."

Zheng Ming nodded, looked at Lian Xing, and said, "Lian Xing, please give them some pointers next."

"Slave obeys." Lian Xing smiled slightly.

However, Huang Yu's heart trembled.

Slave!

You call yourself a slave!

A master of the first rank pretends to be a servant!

He was a little complicated.

Chapter 35 Dali Emperor Zheng Qingsong

Since then.

Lian Xing took Huang Yu out of the study.

However, they had just stepped out of the study when they happened to meet Yuhuatian back.

"I have seen the Rain Director." Huang Yu said with a complicated expression.

Yu Huatian nodded indifferently and said, "Sect Master Huang, you and I will be colleagues in the future, there is no need to be so polite."

After the two said hello, Yu Huatian walked into the study.

"Meet Your Highness!"

Zheng Ming asked, "How? What did you gain from this trip?"

"The harvest is not small." Yu Huatian smiled and recounted his journey to Yihe Island.

After Zheng Ming heard it, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that Wancheng is leaving a way for his son."

"Your Highness is wise, Wancheng knows that the situation in Yihetang cannot be changed, so he leaves a way out for his son, and at the same time, he is showing his favor to His Highness."

Zheng Ming shook his head and said, "This old gentleman is still not willing to let Yihetang lose its autonomy, otherwise why didn't his son come directly to Shanhai County."

"Yihetang is his decades of hard work after all, it's normal to be unwilling," Yu Huatian said softly.

"Oh!" Zheng Ming looked at him and said, "You actually said good things for him!"

"The slaves just think that the Shangyi Hetang can still be used in the future." Yu Huatian said.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly.

The Falling Feather Archipelago was a territory he had to acquire, and no one could stop it.

Since they want to gain the ownership of the Luoyu Archipelago, the three major forces must be eliminated now.

The next step is to take advantage of the situation on Yihe Island.

"You can arrange the people you bring back. Ask Lu Shou for the house, and pick some good players for Gao Shun. He is now forming a navy master, and he is most in need of soldiers in the sea." Zheng Ming instructed.

"The slaves obey." Yu Huatian replied.

Zheng Ming waved his hand, indicating that he can go down.

A few days later, Beixuan Island, Li Chuan and others began to integrate into Shanhai County.

Huang Yu chose a valley in the northern mountains and forests as the residence of the Northern Xuanzong's sect, and then selected more than 30 disciples and grandchildren to join various departments in Shanhai County.

Some of them entered the county government office as yamen, some entered the martial arts academy as a teacher, and some joined the western factory as a factory guard, but most of them joined the army and became Gao Shun's guard.

Similarly, Li Chuan et al.

As the highest general in Shanhai County, Gao Shun is in charge of the camp, the city guards, and the navy that is still being formed. He can be said to be No. 1 in the army.

However, his cultivation is a bit low. The cultivation that has just broken through the sixth-rank is not enough in front of many third-rank and fourth-rank martial artists.

However, Gao Shun's advantage is that he can command and train troops. In this respect, other martial artists are far inferior.

The most important thing is that he is loyal to Zheng Ming.

With the addition of Huang Yu, Li Chuan, and others, the navy of Shanhai County gradually took shape.

The first batch of sailors has only 500 people and has already started training on Fuhai Island.

At the same time, they also brought some shipbuilding talents. Although they are not many, they are not high-level, but they can build ships.

Zheng Ming is not in a hurry. Shanhai County now has six large ships and more than 30 small boats, which can carry more than 500 people, which is enough for the time being.

As navy training began, shipyards and wharfs began to be built, and literary colleges in Shanhai County began to recruit students.

As Zheng Ming expected, not many people in the county signed up.

Enrollment took three days, but only more than 100 people were recruited.

Zheng Ming had no choice but to issue an enrollment order.

The enrollment order stipulated that all teenagers aged ten to sixteen in Fan County must choose one of the Academy of Arts or the Academy of Martial Arts, otherwise they would be fined ten taels of silver.

As for the villages outside the city, there is no mandatory requirement, and you can sign up freely.

Because there is no accommodation in the Academy of Literature and the Academy of Martial Arts, students can only go back and forth.

When the second batch of literary and martial arts academies are completed next year, the teenagers in the village will be able to sign up.
