Cui Yan smiled and said: "Although this story is sad and beautiful, the ending is not good. The people rebelled and overthrew the world. I really don't know how you could write such an ending when you are in power. Isn't he afraid that the people who were killed will also rise up and rebel?" Although he also started his career as a rebel, if he continues to encourage people to rebel now, wouldn't he start his own rebellion?"
"Lei Gong's idea of governing has not changed yet! It will be much better if it changes like this. There will not be so much violence and everyone will be happy. In such a peaceful and prosperous age, it is not good to always engage in fighting and killing!"

Zhen Xing said calmly: "The ruler does not feel that such an outcome is bad. He believes that anyone who dares to put pressure on the people has the right to rebel, even if this person is the Emperor of Heaven. He can make laws of heaven, but today If you can't protect the people, don't blame the people for using weapons to protect themselves. This last scene was specially created by the ruling party to warn the officials not to forget their origins!"
After hearing this, Cui Yan smiled helplessly and said: "He even wants to rebel against himself. Lord Lei is such a born rebel! He is creating a cocoon for himself!"
Through this reply, Zhen Xing discovered that the morale of this so-called famous soldier in Hebei could not be compared with that of their ruling party. No wonder he was defeated by the ruling party. At the same time, he also understood why he felt out of place when he stayed here. The world is changing so fast. Daqian has begun to embrace industrialization and formulate the ethics and morals of industrialization. However, the wealthy nobles of Izumo Country are still indulged in the world of the past without making any changes. They adhere to the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules and do not make any changes. , they have become the eliminated people in this world.
With this kind of mentality, after the halo of celebrity disappeared, he could treat Cui Yan normally.
Zhen Xing and the others stayed here for three days. After purchasing enough supplies, they set sail and continued north.
For the sake of safety along the way, their sea-going ships have been sailing close to the continental shelf. The advantage of this is that when they encounter danger, they can immediately drive to the shore for help, but the disadvantage is that the speed is extremely slow, and it is difficult to prevent it from happening at night. If the ship is stranded, the ship can only stop at night and wait for daybreak before continuing forward, which of course slows down the speed.
Zhen Xing wanted to let the sailors speed up, but Zhen Quan stopped him and said: "This trip is tens of thousands of miles away, and the temporary speed is nothing. Safety is the first priority. If we are impatient, Any danger may capsize our ship. This is a long journey. If we are impatient, the ship, no matter how strong it is, will not be able to survive the tens of thousands of miles."
When Zhen Xing heard that it made sense, he could only see the ship passing behind them.
They marched like this for more than a month, looking at the endless virgin forest along the coast every day. Only for hundreds of miles could they barely see traces of human habitation in villages and towns. Although Liaodong has experienced more than ten years of development, due to its vast territory, , the population is sparse, and there are still very few traces of civilization. If Daqian had not developed the coastal areas in recent years and opened up the sea route to Liaodong, it would be difficult to see these villages and towns along the coast.
These villages and towns are a good thing for Zhen Xing and others. The presence of these villages and towns not only allows them to dock their ships and obtain supplies, but also relax the sailors' mood and maintain their condition.
In this way, they arrived at the northernmost city of Daqian, Jibei City.
This place is said to be a legion station, but there are only a few thousand herdsmen from the north and a thousand soldiers of the Daqian Army. It is these soldiers who help Daqian control a territory of several thousand miles.
The people in Jibei City are also extremely happy for their arrival. There are no strangers here all year round. Everyone will feel excited and welcome when they meet a stranger, because these fleets are particularly wealthy, and their cattle and sheep are in this section. Time has been sold dozens of times. It can be said that the people here have made money for several years. During this time, the people here have made a lot of money by providing supplies to these fleets.
After Zhen Xing and the others obtained supplies here, they could not continue heading north because there were icebergs further north. Instead, they turned the ship around and headed east.
They traveled almost 1,000 miles in this way, and all of them were unknown routes. This kind of unknown made people nervous the most. They all felt a kind of despair. Finally, they saw the continent in the distance.
"The picture is real, there is really an unknown continent here!" Zhen Xing and the others said excitedly, because only by seeing the continent can their voyage continue.
They traveled along the continental shelf for 5 days and soon discovered an extremely strange thing. They saw several sea ships gathering in a harbor. This was obviously the one who had gone ahead of them. What was strange was that they seemed to be staying. Here, there is no further progress.
Such strange things aroused Zhen Xing's curiosity. He ordered the ship to approach the shore and then lowered the boat to explore the situation here.
"Master, it's a great thing. These maritime merchants have discovered a gold mine here. The whole river is sparkling with gold. If you pick up a random stone, it will be gold. It is said that many fleets have obtained tens of thousands of kilograms of gold." Now they don’t care about the bounty from the government at all, they just stay here to hunt for gold, we might as well stay here to hunt for gold too!”
The sailor's words caused everyone to shout. The temptation of gold is hard to resist. These sailors risked their lives and followed Zhen Xing just for money. And now that there is gold here, why would they risk going tens of thousands of miles away? A strange continent?
Zhen Xing saw the excitement among his men and knew that it was impossible not to stop.
So he stopped the fleet here, and then sent sailors to inquire about the situation here. It took several days to figure out the whole story.
It turns out that more than three months ago, before the ice and snow in the North had completely melted, some desperate seafarers set out early, hoping to find the rubber tree earlier than others and get these ten thousand taels of gold.
After they sailed on the sea for more than a month, something happened. The iceberg in the Arctic did not melt completely, and their ship was directly hit by the iceberg.
Fortunately, they were lucky. Although the ship was damaged, the place where it hit the ship was not far from the mainland.
They tried their best and managed to get the ship close to this strange continent. Originally, they wanted to repair the ship before leaving, but when they cut down the trees, they found that the rivers here were full of gold.
When this situation arises, those sailors will look for a new and unfamiliar continent and just stay here to dig for gold.
