In fact, although Shi Lei had said that we should pay attention to the sea area at the beginning, and he also supervised the construction of large ships to get rice from Zhancheng, but after six years of development, the imperial ships only moved in the waters of the Eurasian continent, and only reached the Japanese country in the east. So
As for Africa, Australia, North and South America, etc., they have not been there yet.
However, being able to freely navigate the Eurasian waters is already considered the strongest navy in the world, bar none.
Not far away, we saw a magnificent mansion, with stone lions in front of the door even more majestic. At this time, the door opened, and the soldiers on both sides stood upright. In front of the door, a beautiful woman raised her head and looked up. There was a maid supporting her beside her.
.
When they saw Shi Lei and his group, the woman and the maid hurriedly came over to greet them, with excited expressions on their faces: "Hey, Xiao Lei, Nian Ci, you are finally back."
"Foster mother!" Nian Ci happily embraced Bao Xiruo, and Bao Xiruo said hello repeatedly.
Shi Lei and the other girls also wanted to call Bao Xiruo: "Aunt Yang."
Bao Xiruo smiled, looked at Shi Lei, looked at Huang Rong, and said: "I can't believe that after six years of not seeing each other, you three seem to have become more beautiful and handsome. But I have aged a lot in the past six years.
ah."
"No way, my adoptive mother is still as young and good-looking as ever." Mu Nianci retorted reluctantly. Then he looked at the girls and smiled: "Sisters, do you think my adoptive mother and I look like sisters when we are together?
!”
"Hehehe, that's for sure."
"Yes, even if you say this, no one will believe it even if you are not a sister."
"Wow, I really didn't expect that Aunt Yang is so beautiful. It's really enviable."
The girls gave their own answers one after another. They were all amazed by Bao Xiruo's beauty. Although Bao Xiruo now has signs of age, she is definitely a first-class beauty and is still gentle and charming.
In the original work, there is a vivid description of Bao Xiruo's beauty. It can be said that the whole shooting of the Condor is a series of things caused by her beauty.
Wanyan Honglie was treated by her in Niujia Village. When he saw her, he was fascinated by her and could not sleep at night. When he learned that she was Yang Tiexin's wife, he even colluded with Song officials to kill the Guo and Yang families. Then he
Bao Xiruo got into his palace. This is how the story of the Condor Shooting came about.
I remember that someone used to divide beauties into several levels. The last one was called a disaster-level beauty. Haha, Bao Xiruo definitely deserves the title of a disaster-level beauty. She really became that disaster!
Bao Xiruo smiled and said a few words of humility, and looked at the girls with the same smile on his face: "Okay, okay, all of them are beautiful and beautiful. You are young and beautiful. Since you are all a family now, you must love each other."
ah."
After some pleasantries outside, everyone entered the room one after another. Yang Tiexin entertained everyone: "Everyone, follow me to the main hall for a cup of tea. The banquet will begin."
Naturally, everyone had no objection to the host's arrangement. But when they arrived at the main hall, everyone turned their attention to Shi Lei. It was obvious that he wanted to take the main seat.
This is the rule. Even if this is Yang Tiexin's home, the priority needs to be distinguished. In fact, now Zhao Shun is the head of the empire, and Yang Tiexin is the marshal of the army. The power and status are actually about the same. So Zhao Shun used to come to the Yang Mansion alone.
, basically very casual. But in name, Zhao Shun is the head of state after all. So if someone is there, Zhao Shun will definitely sit in the main seat.
But now Shi Lei is here, he is the founder of the empire, and all the people present are his students. So it is impossible for Zhao Shun to take the main seat.
Shi Lei also understood these things at a glance, smiled lightly, and sat directly on the main seat without delay. Yang Tiexin immediately called the maid to pour tea.
At this time, Zhao Shun said to Shi Lei: "Teacher, since you have come back, the student should publish an article about my abdication immediately. The head of the empire should come and sit with the teacher."
"Yes, teacher, you single-handedly built the current Chinese Empire, and it was you who made the people live a good life. Now we are all following the deployment policy when you left. The empire cannot live without you."
"Teacher please step up!"
"Teacher please step up!"
.........
Without saying a few words, Zhao Shun took the lead and knelt down, and then all the officials knelt down. Was Shi Lei's brainwashing of these people too successful?
It seems so. When Shi Lei taught them, he said that when in power, one must do things that are good for the empire and cannot do things that are harmful to the empire. These kind of righteous remarks have completely brainwashed them.
Coupled with the changes, Shi Lei still had all the power in his hands at the beginning. But now Zhao Shun's power is actually not as great as imagined. Even if there is a major mistake or something, Dali Temple, as the highest court of the empire, has the full power to detain him
This head of state, even the Congress, is fully capable of removing him from his position as head of state.
This is indeed what Shi Lei hopes to achieve. And he was the one who pushed it in the first place. However, during his reign, these people only had rights in name only.
So the power is not as great as imagined, and it cannot be hereditary like the emperor. There is also a lot of pressure. All these disadvantages are there. But power is still very attractive. The person in front of me is Shi Lei, so Zhao Shun
He was willing to give up his position as head of state. He also knelt down and asked Shi Lei to take over.
First, this is his real reason. Second, he also knows clearly that since Shi Lei is back, if he does not take the initiative to abdicate, many people will definitely ask him to abdicate, and then remove him through Congress. Now all civil and military officials
Most of them are students handed over by Shi Lei. The more than 20 people here have been sent to local governments. So how many of them are generals who have fought with Shi Lei? The vast majority.
Even people who have nothing to do with Shi Lei, the vast majority support him. It can be said that even if Shi Lei has no power now, he only needs to shout "I want to be the emperor." Someone will lead the troops to overthrow the existing court.
, and then the dragon chair and dragon robe were neatly prepared for him.
Although Zhao Shun is the current head of state, his reputation and connections are far behind Shi Lei. In other words, once the Congress makes a case to remove him, 99% of the time, he will be dismissed.
dismissed.
And when the time comes, no one will sympathize with him. Most people will just clap their hands and applaud because they have welcomed Shi Lei's return.
This is a result he doesn't want to see. So he has to take the initiative to resign as head of state and then retreat to the second line or manage one side. In this way, not only will his face be saved, but others will not say anything bad about him.
He is worthy of himself. As I said before, the position of head of state is hereditary or not. There is really nothing to be reluctant to give up. In the future history, he will always be the second head of state of the empire, and this will never change.
This is enough.
Shi Lei looked at the more than 20 people kneeling down and waved his hand. As if they were on the street, a strong force appeared on their knees and dragged them up in their surprised eyes.
"Teacher's skills are really unpredictable."
"Teacher is truly the best in the world. He is really amazing."
Not caring about the flattery of these people, Shi Lei tapped the armrest in his hand, shook his head and said: "I will not take the position, so Zhao Shun, the head of the empire is still you. There will be no change. Because I don't know when I will
leave."
"This...does the teacher still want to go to sea? Why not stay in the empire. With the teacher's talents, the empire will develop faster. Wouldn't it be better?"
"The Tao I pursue is different from yours. From the beginning, I have been moving forward with the goal of reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. But I left Shaolin more than ten years ago. What I saw and heard along the way made me extremely angry. I vowed to
Give the world a peaceful and prosperous age. Ten years of hard work have finally made the empire what it is today. My mission has been completed. I feel relieved that the empire is in your hands. So I will not be in charge. Don't have any delusions while you wait.
If Zhao Shun does not do well, you can elect talented people to take over, but your work must not be troubled by my presence."
"Hasn't the teacher's current strength reached the peak of martial arts? With the teacher's current strength, even if Chongyang is alive, he will definitely not be his opponent."
Although Zhao Shun didn't know how powerful Wang Chongyang was, let alone how powerful Shi Lei was. But he knew that Wang Chongyang won the first place in the world during the Huashan sword debate and the five-jue competition for seven days and seven nights. And Shi Lei was in Huashan back then.
The sword discussion only took less than half a day. All the other masters gave up and Shi Lei won the first place in the world.
So Shi Lei has already defeated Wang Chongyang in terms of battle record. And even if he is similar to Wang Chongyang, Wang Chongyang is even stronger than Shi Lei. But that is a dead man, this is his teacher. Naturally, it is impossible to say that Shi Lei cannot compare to Wang Chongyang.
If so. This can be considered a flattery, not too big or too small.
Wang Chongyang's status among warriors was quite high at the time. This was not only because he was the best master in the world, but also because he was the founder of the Quanzhen Sect.
The Quanzhen Sect is also known as the No. 1 sect in the world. The founder of a powerful sect is generally regarded as a myth. Just like the founder of Shaolin Bodhidharma. Now when the founder of Bodhidharma is mentioned, he is definitely comparable to a god-like figure.
It's too far away. Regarding Zhao Shun's words, Shi Lei didn't say anything. Huang Rong actually laughed out loud: "That one should be called Zhao Shun. You are too underestimated brother Lei. In fact, his strength is comparable to that of Wang Chongyang."
On a par with that, not to mention Brother Shi Lei, even my father’s current martial arts cultivation is far superior to that of Wang Chongyang back then.”
Zhao Shun naturally knew Huang Rong. After all, they got married in this world. Moreover, Huang Yaoshi was also present at the time. As the person Shi Lei wanted to promote, Zhao Shun was naturally present. Moreover, when the country was founded, Huang Yaoshi was also asked to help.
.
Hearing Huang Rong's words, everyone present was surprised at first, and then they all agreed: "Yes, yes, I am stupid. How can Wang Chongyang be compared with the teacher? Even in this world, there is absolutely no one stronger than the teacher."
Shi Lei said softly: "There is no limit to martial arts. There is no strongest, only stronger. So I will eventually continue on the martial arts path. I'll just let you take care of the affairs of the empire."
Shi Lei had reached this point, and no one was trying to persuade him. An official stood up and asked Shi Lei a question, which was considered a change of subject: "Teacher, education is in full swing now, and there are now twenty schools across the country.
Now they are unified into five grades. The three years of study are focused on basics, such as reading and arithmetic, and the last two years are divided into subjects. This has indeed achieved great success. Last year, the first batch of 300 students was already an elite leader in all walks of life.
.But after all, there are not many teaching materials, and we don’t know what to do.”
Shi Lei had already opened a military academy when he wanted to, and he also had connections with the Press and Publication Administration. So movable type printing had already appeared. When they said that the teaching materials were not enough, they did not mean the quantity, but the content was not enough.
At first, Shi Lei only selected knowledge points from elementary school and junior high school to give them. Now he can select some knowledge points from high school and university and give them to them. (It is just a selection. Some inappropriate knowledge is really inappropriate to give them now.
Some knowledge is very suitable for this world.)
"Okay, I will sort out some things in a month, the knowledge you can use. But you can't just count on me. Education is a big thing. You need to study what you can teach and teach it. Even if it's construction
Industry, woodworking industry, etc. are all acceptable.”
"Eat, the food is already on the table." While everyone was discussing, Bao Xiruo walked in and shouted.
Shi Lei stood up and said: "Everyone, let's eat first and then talk after we finish. I will be here for the next few days. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Naturally, it is impossible for Bao Xiruo to cook the food himself, nor for his chef to serve. In such a large Yang Mansion, there are actually only two people in the master's family, Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo. There are five maids and servants each.
There are indeed two people who are proficient in cooking. But it is still okay for them to cook for the maid, Yang Tiexin, Bao Xiruo and others. If they are to cook to entertain Shi Lei and his party, as well as twenty or thirty officials from the court
, this pales in comparison. Even if Bao Xiruo is added, three people cannot prepare so many dishes.
Fortunately, they are not far from Zuixianju. Zuixianju was a hotel that Shi Lei opened in Xiangyang. He brought out modern distilled liquor mainly to make money. After all, there is no way to fight without spending money. Think about it.
We had to make guns and cannons at the beginning. How could we support it without the money?
Moreover, Shi Lei started to open chain hotels in major cities early. So now Zuixianju has such a hotel in every corner of the country. Of course, it is only in big cities. After all, it is a high-end route, and the dishes and wines inside are
They are all very expensive. In ordinary places, there will be business there.
