"...... It is strictly forbidden for merchants and civilians to go to sea privately, and military and civilians are not allowed to engage in foreign countries. Anyone who sells all food, goods, etc., or sells any foreign goods privately, is punished by secretly engaging in foreign thieves and conspiring to gather together. The criminals are executed in accordance with the law, and still show them to the public..."

"I can actually understand this?"

The onlookers who crossed the three layers of the inner and outer layers of the inner and outer layers of the inner and outer layers worked hard every year to look at a red notice entitled "Sea Limitation Order" on the notice board inside.

Apart from the beginning of not knowing what to say, I skipped the rare words every year and read the rest of the content to Qi Youfeng and the others beside me. I could understand it while chanting it, and even the sentence sounded no problem.

Have I improved my Chinese proficiency these days? I am a little proud every year.

Qi Youfeng looked at the people in front of him and was embarrassed to tell her that this notice was for the people, and the ancient people generally had low cultural level and were just semi-illiterate...

However, this content...

"Hey, it's not right, isn't there something wrong with this?"

After reading it every year, I looked back and read it carefully, and I was a little surprised:

"No going to sea? What should I do if I have a mission in the world? I can only go by land?"

"It is impossible to go by land, so it is prohibited to have an affair with the outside world, that is, except for the building ships in the south and the airships in Chang'an, you cannot get out or enter."

Qi Youfeng thought of a word he once saw in history class: Closed the country.

"It is prohibited to have private contact with external countries. If you have an official permission, you can still go out."

Young Master Yan shook his head and corrected Qi Youfeng's words, listened to the onlookers' comments, nodded and said:

"It's just a sea restriction order, not a sea ban. This is still a big difference. And isn't the official shipyard considering opening to people who have obtained permission? So it's actually a great boost to the progress of the world's mission, but..."

Young Master Yan kept him in hiding, but unfortunately neither of the other two planned to pay attention to him.

Nian Nian looked inside on tiptoe again, and it seemed that it was indeed what Gongzi Yan said.

"Well, this is not difficult to understand."

Seeing that no one answered his words, Young Master Yan coughed lightly and continued to say:

"Do you think the world mission is to come here and the people over there are so simple?"

"What about that?" Niannian blinked blankly and turned her head to look at Gongzi Yan in great cooperation.

Young Master Yan immediately turned his head to look at her and explained patiently:

"The content of the world's mission is to open up trade routes between the East and the West, but this trade route is not only about being able to be able to operate, but also ensuring safety along the way."

"I know this, all the demons and monsters are cleaned up!" Niannian nodded and replied.

Young Master Yan shook his head and waved the paper fan in his hand, showing a very good attitude of guiding the country.

"Safety does not just refer to these, nor does it need to be reached through violence. A stable trade route requires negotiations with all forces along the way and reaching certain agreements to enable everyone to form a community of interests, so as to ensure the safe and effective circulation of goods. Those demons and ghosts do not need the caravan to deal with them. Good friends along the way will ensure the safety of the caravan."

"So such a trade route represents not only a continuous stream of wealth, but also a political influence and cultural radiation based on wealth. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has expanded its territory invisibly. It is normal for the court to intervene."

Qi Youfeng looked at the young master Yan who was talking, and although he didn't want to admit it, this person's focus on this matter is indeed different from that of ordinary people. He is worthy of being a guy from a wealthy business family. Even if he is ignorant, he is more profound than ordinary people's insights.

"The forces along the way? What forces will be there at sea? Are sea monsters?"

Niannian still didn't understand much, and asked while scratching her cheek.

"There may be pirates, and ships also need to be replenished along the way. Whether it is islands or coastal cities, there may be local local forces. You can't fight them all the way, right? In this case, even if you can make it through the first time, will you waste huge amounts of materials and manpower in conquest countless times? Then this task will not be called opening up the trade route, but invading and expanding the border."

Gongzi Yan patiently explained that even if there is a task of invading and expanding edges, this kind of task cannot be released by Tongtian Tower. After all, Tongtian Tower is just a Jianghu organization... Jianghu organization?

When Gongzi Yan thought of this, she suddenly felt that there was something tricky here. Originally, the task of opening up the East-West commercial road should not have been released by Tongtian Tower, right?

So now is the court confronting Tongtian Tower and competing for dominance in this world mission?

However, Tongtian Tower is just an organization that sells news and does not have any armed forces. Moreover, this mission is also released to players and is led by players...

Players? Sects? Cultivation forces?

Gongzi Yan felt that she had touched some of the inside story here.

"I remember... from the perspective of setting, there was a peaceful coexistence agreement between the court and the cultivation sect. The cultivation sect must not interfere in the affairs of the court and mortals, and the court does not regulate the law and etiquette of the cultivation sect?"

Young Master Yan doesn't care much about these settings, and he obviously doesn't know much about this kind of thing every year, so he can only ask Qi Youfeng for verification.

"This...isn't it absolute? The Mohist and Confucianism have a good relationship with the court."

Qi Youfeng was also from the Mohist family, and the Mohist family also had channels to enter the officialdom. Just like the Confucian Jade Emperor Academy, players trained can participate in the imperial examinations and then enter the court.

Other sects of cultivation are relatively restricted, such as Yuxi Palace, which is based on the opera industry, and all players are not allowed to enter the officialdom for life.

"You mean players can enter the officialdom and become officials, or join the army?"

Young Master Yan thought for a while, the paper fan in his hand slowly swayed, and gradually there were some guesses.

Qi Youfeng recalled Gongzi Yan's question and also heard some of the deep meanings.

As a foreign population, I looked around every year. Although I was very pleased that Qi Youfeng could finally communicate with Gongzi Yan normally, I felt that I was a little confused for a while, so I simply looked at the direction of the bulletin board on tiptoe.

Next to the sea restriction order, another notice was posted, called the Hu restriction order.

Niannian just didn't understand what "Hu" meant, so she didn't care. Only then did she finally feel like she was attracted to her.

"The Hu restriction order..."

Every year, he muttered while watching, but unexpectedly, these three words attracted Qi Youfeng and Gongzi Yan, who were thinking about their own problems.

"What order?"

"What order?"

The two asked in unison.

"What's wrong with the Hu restriction order?"

Niannian looked at the two of them at a loss, looked up again and confirmed:

"It's the Hu restriction order, Gu Yue's Hu."

Qi Youfeng and Gongzi Yan looked at each other, then pushed away the crowd in front of them, trying to squeeze into the notice board.

Niannian quickly followed and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong with this order?"

Qi Youfeng frowned, and while pushing away the people in front of him, he raised his hand to protect Niannian in case she was pushed, and explained:

"Hu, it refers to people from foreign tribes or foreign countries. This order from the court is directed at you outsiders!"
