Chapter 236 Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!
The entire Jing’an Marquis Mansion is operating at full capacity, and the Imperial City Bureau will naturally report this to Emperor Shunde.

“I have borrowed some manpower from Gongshujia and plan to build a hundred warships and put them out to sea before the summer solstice next year!”

Jia Cong had no intention of hiding it.

“Go to sea?”

“Why is that? I have never doubted your thoughts!”

The Emperor Shunde, who was already slightly drunk, suddenly sobered up.

Thinking that Jia Cong had heard some rumors, he hurriedly explained.

“I am not a petty person. Today is New Year’s Day, so I will be honest with you.”

“In the future, there will be no kings with different surnames in Daqian, let alone kings with the same surname as mine!”

“The Royal Family will not allow this to happen again.”

“But as long as my Liu family is still in power, the Jia family will always be the number one family in the world!”

“I wish to let you rule Jiangnan, Shandong, and Korea forever!”

“Unchanged for eternity!”

As an emperor who is high above everyone else and has no one to rely on.

The position he held determined that Emperor Shunde was destined to be suspicious by nature!
But Jia Cong was definitely not among the objects of suspicion.

From a personal perspective, the fact that Emperor Shunde was able to take complete control of power today was ultimately due to Jia Cong’s fighting along the way.

From the royal standpoint.

Although Jia Cong is now vigorously developing the Shinto system in Jiangnan, Shandong and Korea, he rarely interferes in local military and political affairs.

Not only that, large amounts of land in Jiangnan and Shandong are leased cheaply.

The number of refugees decreased sharply and tax revenue increased sharply.

The influence of the two families is far less than before.

It’s funny to say that among all the provinces in Daqian, Shandong and Jiangnan are the two places where the imperial court’s orders are most smooth.

To put it bluntly, what Jia Cong wanted did not conflict with what the royal family needed; rather, they complemented each other.

Even without considering these, these three places can be used to exchange for the strong support of Jia Cong and the Luo Tian Sect behind him for the royal family.

Emperor Shunde would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.

……

“Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. This time we are going out to sea for no other reason.”

“With the help of my disciples, we will go out to sea to search for resources!”

“After so many years of dynasties changing in the Middle-earth, every inch of land has an owner, and most of the various cultivation resources have been developed.”

“On the contrary, overseas, let alone anything else…”

Jia Cong stretched out his hand and used his divine power to evolve a world map.

Distributed across seven continents and five oceans!

“Except for the vassal states around Daqian and the western countries, the rest of the continent is almost unowned!”

“There are a few places with abundant resources. Just plundering them would be better than operating in Daqian for a hundred years!”

“My dear…are the products overseas really so abundant?”

Emperor Shunde was shocked when he looked at the map that Jia Cong had created using his divine power.

For ordinary people and even the dignitaries in the capital, what is happening overseas is almost completely unknown.

But the royal family is definitely not included here.

The Daqian Kingdom has been established for a hundred years, and Jia Cong would never believe that the royal spies have never set foot on European soil.

However, stabilizing the internal situation of Daqian was already the limit.

Even though Daqian knew about overseas products, he was powerless.

Now that Jia Cong is taking the lead, things are completely different.

“If Your Majesty is interested, I can give 30% of the share to the royal family!”

Jia Cong took the opportunity to offer a step forward.

If it weren’t for this matter, how could a dignified innate god come to participate in such a boring event as the grand court assembly.

Now that we have a shipyard, we will have warships soon.

However, it takes more than one or two years to perfect a navy that is good at naval warfare.

Going overseas is equivalent to grabbing land, speed and efficiency are above all else.

With the Royal Family joining in, it’s completely different.

The Daqian navy has no shortage of combat troops.

As for the ceded interests, if Jia Cong went alone and competed with the Western countries, he could take 10% of the three-point sea interest!
If the Royal Family is included, that would be 70% of the 7% of Hailey!
Those who are reluctant to give up their interests will never achieve great things.

……

“This matter is of great importance. I still need to discuss it with my father!”

“Within one month, I will give you the result!”

Emperor Shunde showed an obviously moved expression.

But this matter concerns the entire royal family and is not something he can decide on his own.

In the second half of the banquet, Emperor Shunde looked obviously absent-minded.

Jia Cong didn’t say anything more.

The hook has been set, and we are just waiting for the royal family to take it.

After the banquet, Jia Cong returned home to celebrate the New Year with his sisters.

As Jia Cong had expected, on the third day after the New Year, Emperor Shunde summoned Jia Cong to the palace to discuss going to sea.

With royal involvement.

The Tianjin Navy, Dengzhou Navy, and Fujian Navy had a total of 10,000 troops.

With this as the core, another 50,000 men were recruited, and the first batch of troops totaled 60,000.

The training was carried out along the coast of Jiangnan.

In the following days, the city of Shenjing was peaceful.

Jia Cong stayed at home with his sisters in their practice, except for visiting Dongli Academy twice a month and occasionally giving a lecture.

No more going out.

In the spring examination in February, fifty-two candidates from Dongli Academy took part in the examination.

They are elites from humble backgrounds who have been carefully selected, and they have all cultivated a literary realm.

During the two months, great scholars gave lectures and great scholars were in charge at Dongli Academy.

Under closed management, you don’t have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and you can just study all day.

All fifty-two candidates passed the imperial examination.

After the palace examination in March.

One person passed the imperial examination and became a first-class scholar, twenty-seven people passed the imperial examination and became second-class Jinshi, and twenty-four people passed the imperial examination and became third-class Jinshi.

All fifty-two Juren students passed the high school entrance examination.

As soon as the list was released, it caused a sensation around the world.

With Emperor Shunde as the principal, the scholars who passed the imperial examinations in the academy could be said to be disciples of the emperor.

Needless to say, the future is bright.

At this point, Dongli Academy’s reputation completely surpassed that of the Imperial College and became an academy sought after by countless poor students.

Seeing this, Jia Cong opened two more academies in Tianjin and Baoding.

The three academies basically cover the entire capital area.

……

Until early May

Into the night
“Your Majesty!”

“I have been ordered to go to the Mobei grassland to capture evil spirits. The organization of the Demon-Slaying Army has been completed!”

“In addition, I have captured more than 2,000 evil spirits, and three third-level evil spirits!”

In the study of the Marquis’s Mansion, Zhuxie and Dangmo respectfully reported their achievements in the north during this period.

According to Jia Cong’s idea.

Every team of thirty-five ghost soldiers is led by a ghost soldier, for a total of thirty-six!

Every thirty teams form a battalion, headed by a ghost general, and there are a total of one thousand and eighty-one ghosts in a battalion!
Every ten battalions form an army, headed by a ghost general, and there are a total of 10,811 ghost generals in an army!
The harvest in Mobei was even greater than Jia Cong had expected. Now not only was the Demon-Slaying Army well-organized.

There are more than two thousand ghost soldiers.

There are also eight third-level evil ghosts that can be transformed into ghost generals.

“well done!”

Jia Cong praised that the shipyard in Jiangnan had already launched a large number of warships this month.

“Sister Bao, what’s the situation in the southeast?”

“Cong’er, the Western navy is now active in the Siamese waters and will take action soon.”

Baochai began to report.
