Yunshang played with Chengye for a while, and then went to Tai Chi Hall again.
As soon as Yun Chang walked to the door, she saw Liu Wen'an coming out, followed by several palace servants, who were carrying a big box.
As soon as he saw Yunshang, Liu Wen'an laughed: "Isn't this a coincidence?"
"The slave is going to Weiyang Palace to deliver something to the empress." Liu Wen'an smiled and said, "Why don't you carry this box in again, and the empress will see what you like in it first, and the slave will like it if the empress likes it." Pick out the ones and send them to the empress, so that the empress will not have to find a way to deal with the things she doesn't like when she receives them."
"Okay, Mr. Liu is here."
Liu Wen'an smiled and walked back behind Yun Chang.
"What is this? Where did it come from?"
Liu Wen'an responded: "After Si Youguo and Yi Haiguo left, didn't His Majesty send some caravans from the sea to explore the world beyond the vast sea?"
"A few months have passed, and two of the several caravans that were dispatched have returned. They have also brought back a lot of new items. They were just sent to the palace today. His Majesty said, let the servants first give them to the empress to choose from." .”
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows: "Are you back?"
"yes."
Yun Chang nodded: "It's good to be back, and everything is safe."
Luo Qingyan had already heard the voices of the two talking in the palace, and when he saw the two walking in, he told Liu Wen'an: "You let the queen choose by herself, and you go to the imperial dining room first, and let the imperial dining room prepare the dinner." It’s time to prepare a few more dishes that your mother likes.”
"yes."
Liu Wen'an retreated, the palace man opened the box, Yun Chang walked to the side of the box and looked at it carefully: "I have never seen many of these things before, and I don't know what they are used for?"
"Choose some recognizable ones, ones you like first, cosmetic jewelry, those weird ones you've never seen before, and put them there first. I'll let the leader of the caravan enter the palace tomorrow around dinner time. Let him personally tell you what it is, and show you how to use it."
"Okay." Yun Shang looked inside the box, but as Luo said softly, she only selected a few pieces of jewelry: "The jewelry from overseas countries seems not as conspicuous as ours, but it is more shiny. "
"Um."
Yun Shang picked a few pieces and put them aside, then stood up, walked to the imperial case, just as she walked to the imperial case, she saw a picture in front of Luo Qingyan.
Yun Chang glanced at the picture, and it should be a map. It's just that the place shown on the map is something Yunshang has never heard of before.
"Is this the map brought back by the caravan?"
"Yes." Luo Qingyan nodded lightly: "These are some countries and places that the two caravans passed through, and their entire route..."
"It's just because I'm sailing on the sea, it's not easy to tell the direction, and I only drew a rough outline, not very detailed."
Yun Shang picked up the map: "It's already very good. After all, it's the first time. As we send more and more caravans and troops, these maps will continue to be improved in the future."
Yun Chang looked at it for a while, then raised her eyebrows slightly: "From this map, there are more than one or two unknown continents beyond the vast sea."
"Yes, the other side of the sea is a world that we have never explored before, and it is also another very vast world."
Yun Shang's eyes fell on the map: "From this point of view, the closest to us is an island country? But why is there a spear drawn on the island country on this map?"
"This island country is called Dongshui Country. The island they are on is not too big. In terms of area, it is probably less than one-fifth of Xia Country. And because it is in the middle of the sea, although the island is rich in supplies , but they are not able to fully meet the needs of their people.”
"So, this island country often relies on robbing ships of all sizes that pass by their island country, and robs the supplies on board as supplies."
"Almost all the people in the Eastern Water Country are used to fighting and living on board, and the water quality is excellent."
"When they find a boat passing by, they will first send a small fishing boat, and then send someone to jump out of the small fishing boat, dive into the water, and quietly break the bottom of the boat. Then, while the other party is panicking, hide them in the nearby big boat Drive over. First pretend to be passing by and ask if they need help."
"If the other party is fooled, that's naturally the best, and they can go directly to the boat to rob."
"If the other party is not fooled, they will directly hit it with a big boat."
Yun Chang's eyes widened: "Go straight into it?"
"yes."
"But if it hits it, wouldn't the boat capsize?"
Luo shook his head softly: "The boats built by the Dongshui Kingdom are very handy, and they are specially used to rob passing ships. The front of the boat is very sharp, and countless spears can be extended from all sides of the boat..."
"Most of the ships in the past were made of wood, and those spears can penetrate the wood of the ship."
Yunshang squinted her eyes: "This Dongshui Kingdom has turned ships into weapons."
"Yes." Luo nodded lightly: "And in the vast sea, such a weapon is very powerful and very dominant."
Luo Qingyan took out a blueprint from the side: "This is the general map drawn by the caravan and dark guards we sent out after encountering the ships of Dongshui Kingdom based on the ships of Dongshui Kingdom they saw from the outside. Show."
Yun Chang glanced at it: "It's the first time I've seen such a boat. It's so... strange in shape, but I think it's very powerful when I look at it again."
"Can we build such a ship?"
Luo sighed lightly: "I have asked people to ask the craftsmen who built the boats by the sea, but I found it difficult. After all, this blueprint is only an appearance blueprint. The boat is different from the other weapons. It first It must be a boat that can sail in the sea, and secondly, it must be strong and aggressive.”
"Some of these things can't be seen just by relying on such a drawing, so we can only try."
Yun Chang responded and put the blueprint back.
Luo Qingyan put the blueprint and the map on the bookshelf together, and Yunshang watched from the side before opening his mouth: "Just now, I went to the palace of the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager."
Luo Qingyan nodded: "Did the Supreme Emperor say that we shouldn't let the remaining people in Wu'an City go? We should kill them directly?"
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, a little surprised: "Has the Supreme Emperor already told His Majesty?"
Luo Qingyan just smiled lightly: "I didn't say that, it's just that I know him well enough."
"I did think about what he said at the very beginning."
"Only later, after careful consideration, I dismissed this plan."
"Why?" Yun Shang was a little puzzled: "Has His Majesty already thought of a countermeasure?"
