The bell rang, a total of twenty-four sounds. The Zetian Palace was silent. The ministers knelt on the ground. This was a memory of the empress Qin Yin. In the 7736th year of the imperial calendar, the empress Qin Yin died in the blood-red abyss. It has been four years now. But everyone knows that on the day Qin Yin died, she was just twenty-four years old. Even though the three kings are now ruled, the world always believes that Qin Yin will return. Because she is the orthodox Qin family, and is also the only inheritor in the royal family with the main god character.

After the bell rang, Shangguan Jingyue was wearing the chief female officer's robe. She walked forward and stretched out her hand and said, "Sir, please get up."

Everyone stood up one after another. They looked up and saw Qin Yan. Feng Jixing and the two kings stood side by side in front of the throne. No one sat down. Since the Three Kings ruled, none of the three kings had coveted this throne. Lin Muyu always believed that Qin Yin could be found. Feng Jixing and Qin Yan could not believe it.

"His Royal Highness Rain has heard news from the other side of the ocean."

Feng Jixing's voice was low, but he said very steadily: "There is another continent on the other side of the East China Sea. The two planes have been completely integrated. The world on the other side is called Tianji. There are three empires ruled by them. They are the Tianji Empire, Tianjue Empire, and Blackstone Empire. The martial winds of the Tianji Continent are prevalent. The strength is far stronger than our Broken Ding Realm. Now Wei Guo Duke Wei Qiu led the Longtian Camp to kill the demons in Tongtian Gorge and retreated step by step. The empire should also shift its focus from the demons and Yihe Kingdom to the opponents on the other side of the ocean."

The ministers were shocked. Some people heard some winds and knew that there was another world on the other side of the Eastern Seas. But most people knew nothing about the Tianji Continent.

An old minister stepped forward, holding a jade scepter in his hand, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, King Xin, this matter is not yet certain. Besides... even if there is a world on the other side of the ocean, we can send envoys to bring gold, silver, jewelry, etc. to make friends with him instead of blindly thinking about attacking. The empire has been through wars for a long time and its national strength is much worse than before. Please ask the two Your Highnesses to be able to comprehend the sufferings of the people in the world."

Feng Jixing nodded: "Yuyang Bo said something reasonable. But we must be prepared for both hands. While making friends with Tianji Continent, we must also be prepared to start a war. There is only so much land in this world. The three empires of Tianji Continent cannot completely ignore the wealth of the Broken Cauldron Realm. If we do not prepare, we will only become lambs to be slaughtered."

Yu Yang Bo bowed his head and said, "I hope the two high men will not be strong and powerful. I have misled my Qin..."

Qin Yan was a little unhappy. He frowned and said, "We have our own sense of responsibility. You must not worry too much."

Feng Jixing's eyes fell on Zeng Yifan, who was in front of his ministers. He said: "Duke Zhongguo worked tirelessly and came from the Qihai Province thousands of miles away. Thank you. However... today's matter still requires Duke Zhongguo to give more advice. The Duke of Guo believes that the empire should deal with it now."

Zeng Yifan's dim eyes flashed with a bright light. He said, "Since the Tianji Continent is nearly two thousand miles away from us, we must reorganize the navy and build new warships. Heavy warships are strengthened with the power of the country to strengthen the troops of the three eastern provinces in Lingdong, Tongtian and the sky. In addition, we will do our best to cast magic crystal cannons. Heavy cannons will be our greatest chance to win."

Feng Jixing nodded with satisfaction.

Qin Yandao: "Where is the Minister of Works?"

The Minister of Works has already had white beards and floated forward. He took a step forward and respectfully clasped his fists: "The old minister is here."

"The casting and improvement of the magic crystal cannon is mainly about your Weapon Department. I hope you don't slack off."

"Yes, the old minister knows."

At this time, the Minister of the Weapons behind him said, "Your Highnesses, Lord Qin Ziling sent a drawing from the Tongtian Province with a book of feathers. It is about building a building ship."

"Boiling boat." Feng Jixing was stunned: "What kind of boat is that?"

"Your Highness Qi Zu. The tower ship is a new type of warship. The two sides of the warship are protected by heavy female walls. Small magic crystal cannons can be placed in the cabin. The iron sheets are wrapped outside the female walls to resist the bows and arrows of enemy ships and the attacks of crossbows. Moreover, the tower ship can be divided into multiple layers. Not only is it a heavy artillery fortress when facing the enemy, it can also be an impulse transport ship. A large tower ship can transport at least 2,000-4,000 imperial soldiers. Qin Ziling is a master of wise and wise. He is a genius who is invincible. Once this tower ship is successfully developed, it will inevitably be the overlord in naval battles."

"Okay." Feng Jixing was very happy. He waved his hand: "It's accurate. I immediately ordered the development and construction of such a building."

"It's just your highness..." The Minister of Weapons nodded without saying a word.

"Just something."

"It's just that the building ship is exquisitely made. The materials needed include various alien iron ore and wood that are scarce in the empire. So casting the building ship will cost a lot of money."

"Tell me directly. How much does it cost to cast a building ship?"

The Minister of Weapons swallowed under Feng Jixing's stare and said, "It takes about 300,000 gold coins to mint a large building ship."

"Three hundred thousand."

Feng Jixing was startled: "It's so expensive. It's simply a warship made of gold."

The Minister of Weapons smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way to do this. According to the design of Lord Qin Ziling, the entire warship is about 200 meters long. Therefore, the wood used to strengthen the hull must be made of very tough golden willow wood. This golden willow wood is 100% in five hundred years. It is originally a precious material comparable to gold. If the golden willow wood is not used to strengthen the entire hull, I am afraid that if a warship is so big, it will be divided into pieces once it encounters a storm."

"I understand. 300,000 is 300,000." Feng Jixing looked into the distance: "You will provide all the needs of the Minister of Revenue and the Ministry of Works to develop weapons."

The Minister of Revenue is a fat man. He has a bunch of whiskers on his chin, which looks like a goat's beard. His face is full of careful calculations. He said, "His Royal Highness Xin. A tower ship is 300,000 gold coins. With the magic crystal cannons, sailors, equipment, etc. on the tower ship. The expenses of this tower ship are 500,000 gold coins. The navy's warships are often thousands. The value of a thousand tower ships is 500,000 gold coins... The empire has spent 100 billion gold coins on the steel wall and magic crystal cannon. The national treasury is empty. Where can I get these 500 million gold coins... The old minister really has no choice. If His Royal Highness Xin must ask the old minister to collect 500 million gold coins, the old minister can do nothing."

Feng Jixing narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Mr. Zhang, your son married a concubine and built a Tibetan pavilion for her in the south of the city. It cost 30 million gold coins. Someone reported this to me. I don't know if it is true. If the Ministry of Revenue is really so poor, I should consider whether it is to investigate all this thoroughly. Where is Xiao Han in the Fire Bird Si?"

Xiao Han stood upright: "The last one will be there."

"I ordered Xiao Han immediately led the Huoquesi tribe to the Minister of Revenue's mansion to thoroughly investigate his deduction of treasury supplies and pretending to be public and private."

"yes."

The fat man was shocked and knelt on the ground quickly. He sniffled and said with tears: "Your Highness, King Xin, please spare my life. I, Zhang Rang, worked diligently for so many years. I have never done anything for private purposes. The family of the dog son is just the income from his business in the Chamber of Commerce. There is no corruption at all. If Your Highness, King Xin, cannot trust me, the old minister is willing to take the dog son to the streets to beg for you and collect the 500 million gold coins for Your Highness."

“No need.”

Feng Jixing smiled secretly and said, "Your iron cockerel Zhang Rang's reputation has long been spreading all over the world. Otherwise, Your Highness Yu would not have personally selected you as the Minister of Revenue. As long as you collect the 500 million gold coins and hand them over to the Ministry of Industry, you can do it. As for the treasury, you must prepare a documentary on each treasury income and expenditure. Submit one to Zetian Palace every month. Ayu and I trust you very much. I think you can manage the treasury of the Great Qin Empire. Don't let us down."

"Yes...yes. The old minister knows."

Feng Jixing and his kindness and power have been exerted. Zhang Rang has already convinced him.

Zeng Yifan said: "According to His Highness Yu's description, there is a kind of army on the Tianji Continent called the Dragon Cavalry Regiment. It is a group of warriors riding giant dragons. It is amazingly powerful. If this is the case, we must be prepared. Otherwise, we may be controlled by others in the first step."

"Um."

Feng Jixing nodded and said, "Dragon Knight... is indeed very difficult. But it is difficult for us to deal with the corps in the air. Ordinary arrows cannot penetrate the dragon armor. Even if it is a white diamond arrow, it may not penetrate the dragon armor because of the weight and speed of the arrow body. If the magic crystal cannon is fired in the air, it may not be able to accurately hit the dragon. Alas..."

Qin Yan looked at Feng Jixing's frowning and said, "Your Highness King Xin, take one step at a time. We have never even seen a real dragon knight now. It is too early to think about how to deal with it."

After all, Qin Yan was still too young. Feng Jixing smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.

At this time, Zeng Yifan narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't you know if you still remember the Duke of Wei Guo Wei Qiu. What is he best at?"

Qin Yan was stunned: "Arrow."

"That's right." Zeng Yifan smiled and said, "It is the archery technique of passing through Yang in a hundred steps. With the ability of the Duke of Wei, he can drive a strong bow of 300 kilograms and shoot the enemy two hundred meters away. The old minister was wondering. If we can train the giant war eagle, let the sharpshooter in our army ride the giant eagle and shoot only the eyes of the dragon knight mount, the dragon. Will it work wonders?"

Feng Jixing was stunned: "Can it work? If you are riding a war eagle, you will not say that your body is unstable. The trajectory of the arrow is easily affected by strong winds in the air. It may not be easy to shoot a small longan."

"But, do we have any other way?" Zeng Yifan smiled bitterly.

Feng Jixing was speechless and waved his hand: "It seems that this is true. Since this is the case, Duke Zhongguo will not return to the fiefdom of Qihai Province recently. Just stay in the imperial capital and help the Ministry of War to develop this kind of war eagle archer."

"Yes, the old minister obeys the order."
