【Master is the best in heaven and earth!】The system provides plenty of emotional value.
Amidst laughter and chatter, Yu Chongshan soon arrived at Mingyue Pavilion with Wei Ping, Cai Xian, and Shen Kang.
They appeared at the Yu residence with about a hundred people, and the places where everyone was hiding were clearly visible in the sky.
We must finish up the mess and then give Yue Fuguang a reasonable explanation!
"Lord Wei, are you saying that you have already found Feng Yang's hiding place?" Yue Fuguang asked everyone to take a seat.
Wei Ping cupped his hands and said, "What the young master said is correct. The reason we have been delaying in making arrests is to lure everyone out today and capture them all in one fell swoop."
Tsai Hsien added, "We received the news about the three main locations where they made their move too late to inform the Junior Normal University in time. Please forgive us!"
Yue Fuguang waved his hand dismissively and said, "Judging from the deployment of the guards in my courtyard and outside the mansion, they should have received the message from you in time."
“Fu Guang, besides Feng Yang’s men, the Dongyi prince Song Shan and his subordinates also appeared outside our mansion this time.”
However, they were unlucky; the weather outside suddenly changed, and they were unexpectedly struck by lightning.
Yu Chongshan beamed with joy when he talked about it.
"Songshan? Didn't he return to Dongyi Kingdom? Why has he come back? How is he now? Is he badly injured?"
The moonlight reflected all the doubts on its face.
Master, aren't you asking a bit too many questions?
There was a moment of awkwardness in the performance of "Moonlight Floating"; it was definitely a bit overdone!
He forced a smile and said, "Is it too much? Not at all!"
Yu Chongshan concealed the smile in his eyes and said, "He's still breathing, he won't die. As for the purpose of his return, we'll have to wait for Lord Wei and the others to interrogate him to find out."
"Would His Majesty ultimately release him out of consideration for his status as a prince?"
Yue Fuguang couldn't help but try to sow discord between Emperor Mingxi and Emperor Mingxi, giving him a subtle jab from afar.
Wei Ping and Cai Xian exchanged glances, and Shen Kang, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "Don't worry, Grand Tutor, His Majesty will definitely not release them this time."
He curled his lips into a sly smile, "Besides, Songshan was cleaved beyond recognition, and the assassins we're capturing tonight are all from the Wind and Rain Pavilion."
"But I've never seen Prince Songshan of the Eastern Barbarian Kingdom, who has already returned home!"
[Master, there's actually a smart person hidden among all the fools!]
The two fools, Cai and Wei, twitched at the corners of their mouths. All they did was answer a step too late, and Shen Kang beat them to it.
How did the divine artifact manage to drag me to the side of the idiots?
Shen Kang, praised for his intelligence by the divine artifact, unconsciously straightened his back and sat up even straighter.
Yue Fuguang glanced discreetly behind him. If this guy had a tail, it would probably be wagging by now!
Wei Ping and the others quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Lord Shen is right. We did not see any Eastern Yi prince today."
When the topic of Dongyi came up, Yue Fuguang remembered something else and asked, "Grandfather, how is the shipbuilding progressing at the shipyard?"
Several months have passed, and there should be some progress by now!
Upon hearing this, Yu Chongshan smiled and said, "The blueprints for building large ships provided by Fu Guang are very detailed."
Several master craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, along with thousands of artisans, were building two large ships simultaneously at the Yining Shipyard, following the blueprints.
Everything is going smoothly so far. I expect that in less than two years, my Great Yan will be able to produce several more large ships that are not afraid of the wind and waves at sea.
That will be the time for them to head east.
The Great Yan wanted to sweep across the other five kingdoms, and the first enemy it wanted to eliminate was the Eastern Yi, its backer.
Well, of course, it's also because their family owns a gold mine; by acquiring it, they can continuously provide financial support to Dayan.
[Master, if they dare to send troops to the Eastern Barbarians, would you tell them the location of the gold and silver mines in the Eastern Barbarian Islands?]
"If they have the guts to send troops, I'll naturally consider it; otherwise, let them find it themselves—who knows how long that will take!"
【Master, if we go a little further, we will find not only gold and silver mines, but also spices and timber that sell for exorbitant prices in Dayan.】
Although we look down on it, it seems these mortals really like it!
The group of people who were still drinking tea with their heads down paused involuntarily. Shen Kang was, after all, in his early twenties and young and impatient.
He trembled slightly in his teacup, and didn't even notice a few drops of tea spilling on him.
Still feeling unsatisfied, Moonbeam pressed on, "Little Pearl, didn't you say there are various mineral veins on islands further away?"
【Master, yes! Little Bead remembers there are iron ore, copper ore, gold and silver ore, and some other precious mineral veins.】
However, even with the current technology of Dayan, it cannot recognize it.
Each time the system spoke, it was like a needle pricking everyone's heart, powerfully energizing them.
As the last few people took their leave, the way they moved with such speed and agility made Yue Fuguang guess that Emperor Mingxi wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Regardless of whether the emperor could sleep or not, Yue Fuguang had already asked her grandfather to ask for leave for her, so she wouldn't be attending court tomorrow.
[Host, are you sure the first target of the Great Yan will be the Eastern Yi?]
"It's uncertain! That's why I kept increasing my bets tonight. With such a huge profit in front of me, won't this donkey, Dayan, start running?"
Developing maritime trade and training naval forces—if we don't start these things in advance, are we going to wait until we have ships to consider them?
"I'm just worried that the rulers of Dayan might act impulsively and send the existing army out to sea!"
There was indeed a navy along the coast of Dayan, but it was not large in scale, and a portion of it was controlled by the Sima family.
If Emperor Mingxi does not begin training a powerful navy of his own now, even if he deals with the Sima family and moves eastward, the corrupted navy may still be crooked.
Those shrewd people wouldn't make such a foolish move!
Having read the system of the Great Evolutionary History, although I say this, I'm still not entirely sure.
However, good news soon followed the unification of the country by one person.
Because Yue Fuguang did not attend court today, he only learned about the emperor's proposal to expand the navy after Yu Chongshan resigned.
"Grandfather, His Majesty's plan to expand the navy won't go too smoothly, will it?"
Leaving aside the conservatives, even Sima Jing's own people would not allow any force outside his control to compete with the Sima family's navy for profit.
Yu Chongshan nodded. "Fu Guang guessed correctly. There are indeed many opponents, but there are also more officials who support expanding the navy."
Yu Zhongchun chimed in, "His Majesty is determined to build a new-style navy; how can those clowns possibly stop him!"
Yu Shuchun nodded in agreement, "Brother is right. The large ships are under construction at full speed. If we don't expand the navy, we can't just send the existing landlubber soldiers onto the ships!"
[Master, it seems the rulers and ministers of Dayan haven't lost their minds and are using the army like a navy.]
Army? Navy?
The father and his sons were all taken aback. Such a title was quite fitting. They vaguely felt that there should be others besides these two branches of the military.
But with their current understanding, they seem to be missing something!
