Lu Qing and his friends brought a storm to the Dengzhou area. All the merchants who were preparing to go to Silla, Baekje or Japan found Lu Qing and his friends, hoping to form a team with them. After all, if they took the new route, they would not only save a lot of time, but also reduce the cost by nearly double. Such a cost-effective business is naturally something that someone rushed to do.

Unfortunately, according to the original agreement, this new route was managed by the Qi Wang Mansion, so the chart of the route has been handed over to Li Yan. All merchants who want to take this new route must register at the Wang Mansion, and then divide it in a unified manner, and then the helper sent by Lu Qing and others to lead the route. Of course, the merchants have to charge a certain fee when registering. After all, in order to open up this new route, Li Yan can pay the price of two new types of ships, and it is not his personality to not find a way to recover the cost.

In addition to the route, the two official shipyards were also surprisingly popular. After the trial voyage, although Lu Qing and his team discovered some small shortcomings on the two new ships, this could not cover up the huge advantages of the two ships, because both ships were pointed bottom ships, and with reasonable design, the center of gravity was under the water. In this way, although the draft of these two ships was a little deeper, they were more stable and more resistant to wind and waves. During the exploration of the route, they encountered strong wind and waves many times, but they all sailed safely. In addition to being stable and safe, the speed and operation of these two ships were also stronger than the previous ships. Therefore, with the spread of Lu Qing and his team, these two new ships gradually received recognition from many maritime merchants and went to the official shipyard to order, in order to meet these crazy orders. Not only did the civilian shipyards start to expand, but even the military shipyards also divided some craftsmen to start building two new ships to take orders.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yan simply integrated Dengzhou's shipbuilding industry and established the Shipbuilding Industry Association. All shipyards that want to obtain patents for new ship construction must join this association. All shipyards are uniformly distributed, and after this round of integration, all shipbuilding workers and resources in Dengzhou will be maximized. It also caused Dengzhou's shipbuilding industry to begin its first major explosion in history. In just a few months, dozens of Galen ships and Fu Ships of various sizes were produced.

Originally, the president of the Shipbuilding Industry Association wanted Yifan to serve as the role, but she was busy trying to make steam engines. She also had to help Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng do some tests and verifications from time to time, so she was so busy that she didn't even have time to take care of the shipyard under her name, let alone deal with the matter of the Shipbuilding Industry Association.

Finally, the president of the Shipbuilding Industry Association handed over to Wei Heizi. After the design of two new ships, Wei Heizi had slowly established his authority in the shipbuilding industry in Dengzhou. With the support of Li Yan, he also recruited a group of skilled shipbuilding craftsmen. After Li Yan's instructions, he established a ship design institute to specialize in research and improve the new ship type. The patents of the two new ships were under the name of this design institute. Therefore, all shipyards of all sizes in Dengzhou have close ties with it, and it is also popular to serve as the president of the Shipbuilding Industry Association.

In addition, there is another advantage to being president by Wei Heizi. He was originally an official in Prince Li Yan's mansion. If he was appointed, it would also facilitate Li Yan's control over the entire ship industry. After all, the shipbuilding industry occupies a key position in Li Yan's plan, and only by taking it into his own hands can it be better utilized.

After the caravans in Dengzhou got familiar with the new route, Lu Qing and the others said goodbye to Li Yan, saying that they wanted to go back to the south to do something. They were originally merchants from the south, and it is normal to go back now, so Li Yan did not stop them and set up a wine to see them off at the royal palace. At the banquet, Lu Qing and others said that they would come back soon after they went back to finish the matter, and they would probably be stationed in Dengzhou in the future. This was an unexpected surprise. Li Yan had long hoped to take Lu Qing and the others into use, so they were naturally very welcome.

After seeing off Lu Qing and the others, Li Chunfeng also said goodbye. Summer is about to pass, and his holiday is almost used, so he naturally has to prepare to return to Chang'an early. The research work of sextant instruments has made some progress. With the help of Yuan Tiangang and Zhao Yifan, they have compiled a set of methods to calculate the longitude and longitude of celestial bodies, and simplified the entire complex calculation process a lot. However, it is not something that can be done in a day or two if you want to use the things provided by Li Yan to make a sextant instrument, and then combine the calculation process with the use of sextant instruments.

Therefore, after Li Chunfeng returned to Chang'an this time, he not only had to build the observatory that he had agreed to last time, but also designed the working principle of the sextant. The task was very arduous. Fortunately, there were many talents proficient in astronomy and mathematics in Chang'an City. Li Chunfeng didn't have to worry about not having any helpers. He also assured Li Yan that although there were difficulties in developing this sextant, he would have the confidence to develop it as long as he was given a period of time.

Li Yan was naturally very happy about Li Chunfeng's guarantee. As long as he could make it, it would be fine. As for time, he is only fifteen years old this year, so he can wait for time.

Today is the day when Li Chunfeng left. Li Yan dressed in casual clothes and only brought a few guards to see him off. Yuan Tiangang and Zhao Yifan were naturally among the ones to see him off. But for some reason, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were both in poor spirits, as if they didn't sleep well yesterday.

Li Yan and Li Chunfeng raised their glasses together. After drinking the farewell drink, Li Chunfeng then strode to the bow of the boat and turned around and bowed: "Please come back, Chunfeng said goodbye!"

Li Yan and the other two also bowed their hands to return the gift and said, "Take care!"

Li Chunfeng also waved his hands repeatedly until he saw the three people on the dock getting smaller and smaller, and finally even the entire Dengzhou Port slowly disappeared from the sea level, he sighed. Although the sea breeze was very strong, he did not enter the cabin, but looked at the birds on the sea, remembering what Master Yuan found himself talking about last night.

"Chunfeng, do you remember when our first meeting with His Highness King Qi, when His Highness asked me to meet him?" Yuan Tiangang frowned under the candlelight, as if he had thought of some unsolvable problems. Tomorrow is the day when Li Chunfeng left. Tonight Yuan Tiangang is preparing to have a close conversation with Li Chunfeng, and at the same time he also wanted to tell the other party about a problem he had not understood these days and ask him to help him calculate it.

"Well, Master Yuan, I was a little surprised that time. With your attainment in physiognomy, how could there be an unobstructed face in this world? I guess Master Yuan had something to say at that time, right?" Li Chunfeng sat next to him and asked while making tea.

"Actually, I didn't lie. I really can't understand the fate of His Highness King Qi!" Yuan Tiangang smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"What, this... is this true?" Li Chunfeng was also startled, his always steady hand trembled slightly, and the tea fell on the table at what time.

"Well, the face of His Highness King Qi is full of ancient times. On the surface, it looks like a rich prince, but if you look closely, it is full of noble appearances everywhere. And I also see something in him!" Yuan Tiangang smiled bitterly. It was the kind of thing on Li Yan that made him puzzled during this period, and even decided to stay in Dengzhou and observe the changes in Li Yan's fate at any time.

"Master Yuan, what is there on His Highness King Qi?" Li Chunfeng asked curiously.

"The Nine Five Aura!" Yuan Tiangang suddenly turned aside and said a name that stunned Li Chunfeng.

"This... how is this possible?" Li Chunfeng was shocked by the name and stood there for a long time. Finally, his legs suddenly became weak and he fell on the stool, with an incredible expression on his face.

The so-called Nine Five Qi is a physiognomy theory, which is very complicated to explain. But simply put, there are only two people in the Tang Dynasty who have this kind of momentum, one is the current emperor, Li Shimin, and the other is his successor, that is, the next Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Li Yan is the son of Li Shimin, so it is normal for this Nine Five Qi to appear on him. After all, he is one of Li Shimin's favorite sons and is very likely to inherit the throne. However, there is naturally a reason why Li Chunfeng was so shocked.

"Master, didn't you say last time that the one who has the aura of nineteenth qi now is His Majesty. In addition to Your Majesty, the other one is His Highness King Jin. But why does His Highness King Qi also have a 95th qi? Are there two heirs in the position of emperor?" Li Chunfeng was shocked and asked hurriedly with an anxious look on his face. This is a major matter related to the fate of the world and cannot be neglected at all.

"I don't know this!" Yuan Tiangang smiled bitterly, "I have been thinking about the reason for this matter during this period, but after thinking about it, I only came up with two possibilities. The first one is that my physiognomy has a problem, and the other one is that my physiognomy is right, but the consequence is too terrible. I would rather make a mistake in my physiognomy!" Yuan Tiangang said this with a painful expression on his face.

"Master Yuan, what do you mean..." Li Chunfeng is also a smart person. He immediately thought of what Yuan Tiangang meant, but when he thought of the consequences, he couldn't help but fight a cold war. Could it be that my land of China had just been peaceful for a few years and was about to fall into war again?

In fact, Yuan Tiangang's meaning is very clear. If his physiognomy is correct, then in his opinion, Li Yan and Li Zhi will become emperors in the future, but there is only one throne in the Tang Dynasty, how could two emperors appear? The only explanation for this situation is to turn one throne into two, that is, the Tang Dynasty split into two countries. Li Yan and Li Zhi each took the throne in their own country, but as the saying goes, there is no two suns, the country has no two masters. In order to fight for orthodoxy, the two countries will definitely fight endlessly. At that time, many people in the world will be displaced, reappearing the tragic situation at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

"Hey, no!" Li Chunfeng, who was immersed in pain, suddenly thought of something and immediately woke up and said, "Master Yuan, based on my calculations of the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty, within a hundred years, my national destiny of the Tang Dynasty will only become stronger and stronger, and there seems to be no sign of division?"
