Wei, Haizhou

In the 2003rd year of the Xia calendar and the 73rd year of the Wei calendar, at the birthday banquet of the Emperor of Wei, an envoy from a small country got drunk and mocked, "Wei has no sea." The

Emperor of Wei was shocked and sent troops to attack him. The army of 50,000 destroyed his country, and Haizhou was established as the 51st state of Wei. "Book of Wei, Chronicle of the Emperor of Wei"

······

In the 2023rd year of the Xia calendar, Lin Jiang came to Haizhou as a merchant. Facing the sea to the east, he seemed to feel relaxed.

"The Emperor of Wei is very powerful. He destroyed the country just because others mocked that Wei had no sea,"

Lin Jiang said while looking at a stone tablet on the seashore. The stone tablet recorded the deeds of Wei sending troops to conquer this place 20 years ago. Now this area has become Haizhou, the most borderland of Wei in the east.

Of course, Lin Jiang knew that this was only the reason for the literal record. The real reason was that Wei controlled a large number of vassal states for this outlet to the sea.

In the eastern part of Hezhou, most of Bingzhou, and areas that the human race did not touch during the Xiuxian era, there are now dozens of small countries. These small countries are the civilizations formed naturally in this world. They have nothing to do with the Chinese civilization and Xiuxian civilization. They are slowly developed from primitive tribes.

As the most civilized and powerful country in this world, Wei State has trade relations with these small countries, but when it comes to their territory, various conflicts are inevitable. The land is too far away, and it is not realistic to send troops to expedition. If you control this outlet, it will be different. The navy can go upstream and conquer the disloyal. So

Wei State did what the human race could not do during the Xiuxian era, that is, it had an outlet to the sea and began to conquer the ocean. It was also because of this that Lin Jiang came here. After all, he had lived for so long and had never been here.

Lin Jiang played in Haizhou City for more than a month, feeling the prosperity of Haizhou City. Haizhou is the center of trade for a large number of coastal small countries. It is needless to say that it is prosperous. In one sentence, it is fun.

The prosperity of maritime trade also gave rise to the development of shipbuilding technology. Wei State was able to build very large ships, which were larger than the warships of Qingzhou before.

The development of shipbuilding technology gave rise to a very niche hobby, that is, adventure. Some rich children from Wei State, especially some illegitimate children, could not inherit the main wealth of their families, but they were not short of food and drink, so they began to seek excitement, climb some steep mountains and so on. Going to sea was also a new way of playing they found in recent years. They went out

in groups of three or five, hired boatmen and guards, and then took enough supplies to go out to sea for adventure, either hunting some large fish or looking for some overseas islands. If there were some indigenous people on the island, they would even conquer them and have a taste of being an island owner.

The officials of Wei State also supported them, because the world was too big. Even if Wei State dominated several states, it did not dare to say that it knew the world very well. For example, they did not know much about the monsters north of Qingjiang River, so the officials of Wei State also supported these rich children to explore the outside world.

Lin Jiang stayed in Haizhou City for more than a month, and saw many adventurers who went out to sea and returned. Some of them made a fortune on the sea, such as finding precious and special medicinal materials or gold and silver minerals on the islands they found, which further promoted these trends.

Lin Jiang also enjoyed the food, wine and beauty. Seeing such exciting things, he also became interested, so Lin Jiang made friends with a group of rich second-generations and joined the adventure team.

········

"It is indeed the endless sea. We have been out to sea for half a year, but we haven't reached the end yet."

Half a year later, Lin Jiang stood on the deck and sighed at the endless sea. Their experience in the past six months can be said to be extremely exciting.

They saw groups of whales, each of which was larger than their sea ship. The guards on the ship killed one, and dozens of them ate it for more than a month. They also experienced a storm that was close to death. After escaping by chance, they saw a strange mirage. They also encountered the eruption of an underwater volcano and saw an island formed within a few days.

But they didn't reach the end of the sea. No one knew how big the sea was. The boatmen who lived on the sea all year round said that this sea was called the Endless Sea.

"Brother Lin, the old sea wolf on the boat said that we have to go back. We still have food, but no fresh water. We must return to the island we passed before to replenish fresh water. If we don't go back, it depends on fate. If it doesn't rain, we can only kill fish to make up for it. Then people will die."

A young man walked up to Lin Jiang and said to Lin Jiang. In more than half a year, Lin Jiang conquered everyone with his martial arts and knowledge, and everyone has followed Lin Jiang's lead.

"Okay, let's bring more supplies next time."

Lin Jiang nodded. They felt that the supplies they brought this time were enough, but they were still insufficient, especially fresh water. They replenished it several times during the rain, but it was still running out.

The young masters were ready to return, which made the boatmen and guards feel relieved. There were many examples of accidents on the sea. If they continued to sail, they would get into trouble.

There was nothing thrilling on the return trip. These routes were explored by others. There were old sea wolves who specialized in living on the sea, and everything was arranged.

But when they returned to Haizhou City, they scratched their heads and started to make up stories. A trip to the sea lasted more than a year, so there must be something to brag about. They couldn't tell others that they spent most of the time in a daze in the cabin, and they couldn't tell others that they vomited a lot in the first half of the month. They were all rich young men, didn't they have any face?

In this regard, Lin Jiang took action again. He used his skills in writing pornographic articles in the past to embellish their adventures and wrote a sea adventure record. With the addition of some mystical things, the whole article became colorful. Several people printed hundreds of copies and gave them away everywhere. In a few days, Lin Jiang's small team became famous in Haizhou City. After all, other people's adventures were quite boring, not as exciting as theirs.

Lin Jiang's status in the hearts of these rich young men has risen to a higher level. They competed to invite Lin Jiang to their homes. Lin Jiang did not refuse and went with them to travel around the Wei Dynasty.

The people and things in the Wei Dynasty were already unfamiliar to Lin Jiang's memory, which was equivalent to re-understanding the world. Lin Jiang's bad taste broke out again, and he left his calligraphy in various places. If someone investigates the traces of the ancients in the future, his status as a literati and poet will be stable.

These rich young men are well-informed and knowledgeable. Lin Jiang also asked them about a lot of things in the fairyland, and everyone told them the truth.

Now, the Great Wei has counted hundreds of countries. Small countries have only tens of thousands of people, while large countries have hundreds of thousands of soldiers. However, the only country that can stand on equal footing with the Great Wei is the Immortal Kingdom.

First, the Immortal Kingdom is also very strong and has a vast territory, almost covering most of the territory of Qingzhou and a small part of Bingzhou. Second, the Immortal Kingdom is at the forefront of resisting the monsters. If the Immortal Kingdom is defeated, the Great Wei will have to take over. The Great Wei already knows how powerful the monsters are, so it also respects the Immortal Kingdom very much. Only with strength can people respect it.

After hearing a lot of news about the Immortal Kingdom, Lin Jiang has decided to go to the Immortal Kingdom. After visiting the Immortal Kingdom, he will fall into a deep sleep again, waiting for the arrival of the next millennium.

Three months later, Lin Jiang and his party returned to the capital of the Wei Kingdom. Before they arrived, the reputation of the sea adventure record had already spread back. At least in the circle of rich young masters, everyone was famous. In the next half month, they were all invited to banquets by rich young masters, and almost every night was full of revelry.

Along the way, Lin Jiang had already discussed the words with them, and wanted to make the things in the travel notes true. If a lie is told too much, it will become true.

"I have not seen the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but now I have seen the prosperity of the Wei Dynasty. This prosperity is what I wish for."

One day, Lin Jiang was seven points drunk, standing in a restaurant, and saw the luxurious prosperity of the capital of Wei State. He showed his heroic spirit in his heart. The prosperity in front of him was related to him. The splendid civilization of China was blooming in this world thanks to him.

As the heat dissipated, everyone slowly returned to calm. After the adventure, those rich young men also had to continue their lives. Some had given up the idea of ​​adventure, and some planned to go elsewhere.

Lin Jiang rejected those invitations to continue adventures, but encouraged them very much, hoping that they would become Li Daoyuan or Xu Xiake of the Wei Dynasty, and record the splendor of the Wei Dynasty so that future generations could appreciate it.

As for Lin Jiang, he decided to leave something behind in this prosperous era, and also be a copycat. The many ancient poems he memorized during compulsory education should come in handy.

The wonderful poems of Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song, should also bloom in this different world.

"Jiaofangsi, my brother is here"

A month later, Lin Jiang walked towards Jiaofangsi with a big laugh. Where else could compare to Jiaofangsi in terms of the outflow of poems and songs? He had to be the Liu Yong of Wei.
