Things in Hebei had set the tone, and Liu Xuan no longer needed to worry about the specific situation. In addition, since he was not in the middle of the court, there were no urgent matters in the court for the emperor to go back to deal with, so Liu Xuan had some free time.

I took Diao Chan around and enjoyed the scenery of Hebei. The climate in this era is relatively cold, especially in winter. The situation between the north and the south is very clear.

In comparison, only the Northeast region in later generations can truly appreciate winter. The area around the Yellow River is no longer as cold as it used to be. Even before Liu Xuan went to the Cultivation Empire, the winter in the Northeast was not as cold as when he was a child. On the contrary, it has been colder for several years in a row.

Encountering a warm winter.

"Cold?"

Even if the cold wind like a knife blows across his face, Liu Xuan's physical fitness will naturally not care about the cold wind. Even if he is wearing a plate of Diao Chan, even though he is only wearing an ordinary skirt, he is still not afraid of the cold.

.

"No!"

Diao Chan looked around all the way, but after a while he felt bored. Rather, he was more looking forward to what Liu Xuan and the "endless sea in sight" he said he would look like.

That's right, after Liu Xuan made sure that nothing happened to him, he simply took Diao Chan and headed east, and then wanted to see the sea!

Anyway, if you go east from Yecheng, you can go straight to Qingzhou. Qingzhou is right next to the sea. If you want to see the sea, the nearest place is naturally Qingzhou.

At the same time, Qingzhou also has several good natural harbors. Liu Xuan also stopped by to take a look at these places this time, and then arranged for people to transform them. In this way, the Han Dynasty would have at least two naval bases, one in Qingzhou and one in Xuzhou.

, when Yangzhou is recovered in the future, suitable ports can be found in the Jiangdong area, and these three places can also build appropriate civilian ports, carry out maritime trade, stimulate the flow of goods, and... foreign cultural invasion.

This is a huge advantage. Knowing this, how could Liu Xuan let go of such an opportunity?

Not to mention South America, North America, Australia and other places, the nearby Ryukyus, Japan and other places are still in an uncivilized primitive social state. In this case, if cultural penetration can be carried out, then it can be done before it generates its own culture.

Come in together.

This is much more effective and faster than defeating the opponent and then forcibly assimilating, so Liu Xuan will never let go of such an opportunity.

There is no other way to choose this method. With the current navigation capabilities, it is still impossible to completely occupy those places, so we can only carry out this kind of infiltration first, at least to reduce the resistance of the other party's people when occupying it in the future.

Reduce to minimum.

Among them, Ryukyu is not difficult, and the Japanese islands have begun to form some prototypes of feudal dynasties, and many countries have even appeared.

According to Liu Xuan's knowledge, Yamatai, who later professed his vassalship to Cao Wei and requested Cao Wei's original work, was one of the many countries on the Japanese island, and its power only covered part of the area, not the entire Japanese island.

All the way eastward, he was accompanied by the Tiger Guards led by Xu Chu, and because this trip was not dangerous, Liu Xuan also asked the generals to bring their families.

It's nothing else, except that Qin Yilu's wife is really a beauty. I really wonder how this guy with no looks and no talent managed to marry such a top-notch beauty?

Talking about Qin Yilu's wife, she also left some traces in history. It is said that Qin Yilu was originally sent to Yuan Shu when he was under Lu Bu's tent, and it happened that Cao Cao led the army to attack Lu Bu at that time. At that time, Guan Yu had argued with Cao Cao about Qin Yilu's death.

Wife (the city had not been broken yet, so the second brother had made a reservation in advance).

The subsequent development did not meet everyone's expectations. After Cao Cao met Qin Yilu's wife Du, he saw that her appearance was extremely beautiful, so he kept her and took her into his private house.

As for how much Cao Cao liked this Du family... Du family also had Qin Yilu's son Qin Lang with her at that time, and Cao Cao raised the child as his own son, which shows his love for Du family.

Liu Xuan had only heard of such a thing before. Even though the world had been greatly changed by his own disaster, rumors that Qin Yilu had a beautiful wife were often spread in Chang'an City, but this time no one dared to talk about his wife.

No matter how hard he thought, even Cao Cao never expressed the idea of ​​snatching Du's family away.

There is no other reason, just because Qin Yilu has always been the emperor's personal military commander. He used to be the Yulin Army, but now he is the Tiger Guard Army.

So even though Qin Yilu has always been a school captain, no one dares to offend him. This is the power of the title of the emperor's close minister.

Along the way, because there were not many female relatives, Diao Chan was also relatively close to the Du family. Liu Xuan also learned that the woman's name was Du Ruo, also known as Xiuniang. In addition, Qin Lang, who was originally raised by Cao Cao as his biological son, had also been born.

The little guy is not big now and still needs his parents to take care of him, so he was brought out this time.

Similarly, Qin Lang's younger brother was also brought out. The two children were not twins, but they were only one year apart. They were close in age and looked very similar.

When he saw this child, Liu Xuan suddenly remembered that Qin Lang did have a younger brother in the novel, but this was not the reason why Liu Xuan remembered him.

What really made Liu Xuan remember this kid was his name: Qin Ming!

He had the same name as one of the more than 100 bandits who fell into disgrace in Liangshan. At that moment, Liu Xuan suddenly wanted to train this kid into a general, and then conveniently gave him that nickname.

But this idea is just a thought. Anyway, this child is still young, and it will take a few more years to cultivate him.

On this day, Diao Chan did not sit in the car today, but rode a horse like Liu Xuan. In the past, she had only ridden some gentler horses in the palace, and this was her first time riding a war horse.

It's not that she's not good at riding, but because of her delicate status, those in the palace don't dare to let her ride a war horse or a bad-tempered horse, even if they know that this delicate-looking noble lady can smash the stone floor with a hammer.

When the big hole came out, they didn't dare to take risks - who said this was the emperor's woman?

But when he comes out with Liu Xuan, he no longer has such worries. Doesn't Liu Xuan think that Diao Chan, whom he taught step by step, will be unable to handle a war horse?

What's more, war horses are quite humane and don't have explosive tempers. In addition, Diao Chan's riding skills are not bad, so why can't she ride them?

However, this move shocked Xu Chu and Dian Wei. Although these two men had been in the palace for a while, they had never seen Diao Chan and others doing anything. They only thought that this noble lady was extremely delicate.

As a woman, I never thought that Diao Chan had such abilities - but Qin Yilu was not surprised and said to the two of them: "Don't underestimate the noble lady. If you really want to take action, the general and Dian Xiaowei will join forces."

You may not be able to withstand a few blows from the empress!"

"hammer?"

After listening to Qin Yilu's words, Xu Chu realized that the noble lady also knew martial arts, but he never expected that the weapon such a woman was good at was actually a hammer?

There is nothing fancy about using that thing. It is just a matter of pressing people with force. The weight of the weapon itself is also extremely heavy. The image in their mind of the noble lady riding a horse, wearing a military uniform and holding two sledgehammers at the same time made the two of them look pale.

It's weird and I always find it hard to imagine.

"I really can't imagine..."

Dian Wei also shook his head. He also thought this scene was too unbelievable.

In fact, I don’t blame the two of them, because based on the habits of these two men, the sledgehammers they think of in their minds are the kind of sledgehammers that can quickly catch up with Diao Chan. They really haven’t thought about the little pumpkin hammer, so in their minds

Diao Chan is holding two hammers that are bigger than herself, and the appearance is naturally very weird and strange - even if Diao Chan can hold them, she probably won't be able to use them due to her own body size.

Of course Liu Xuan didn't know what his two guard generals were thinking. At this time, he was still describing the appearance of the sea to Diao Chan.

"Is it really that big?"

Diao Chan's eyes widened and she looked in disbelief. She was very cute and interesting. Liu Xuan had the urge to pinch her nose, but they were both riding horses, so it was not very convenient for them to do intimate actions.

"It was a mistake, we should have ridden together!"

Although he was a little depressed, Liu Xuan still enjoyed taking his woman out for an outing.

"It's huge. It's more vast than you think. With today's ships, even the fastest ships will take a lifetime to go around the sea!"

However, this kind of thing is actually impossible, because the current kind of ship can sail close to sea. If it goes a little far, it will get lost or not, and it will be killed by any big wave.

After hearing this, Diao Chan was in a daze for a while, probably imagining the appearance of the sea in her mind, but as she thought about it, she thought of another thing: "Your Majesty said that even the land on the other side of the sea must be occupied, but the sea is so big.

…”

Liu Xuan laughed loudly: "As I said just now, building ships now is naturally a lot of trouble, but as long as we build better ships, it won't be a problem!"

Speaking of this, he remembered the ice jade he got from Yuan Shao a while ago.

This thing is actually a kind of essence naturally condensed by a planet, which itself contains energy, and the so-called 'star core' that Liu Xuan needs to develop a cultivation civilization is actually a kind of planet's energy essence.

The difference is that ice jade is naturally formed, while star core can be manufactured.

As for the reason that makes Liu Xuan so happy? It is that a planet that can naturally form ice jade has an innate advantage in making star cores - this proves that the energy of this planet is very full, so he does not have to worry about using it to make star cores.

After using this method, it is no longer possible to produce large quantities of it quickly due to the planet's own reasons.

Diao Chan didn't know what was in Liu Xuan's head, but asked out of curiosity: "Well, if Your Majesty builds that kind of ship, how long will it take to reach the other side of the sea?"

"If it's the best kind, let alone the sea, even if it's the moon, it only takes a moment!"

Diao Chan curled her lips, obviously not believing it, and just thought Liu Xuan was lying to herself.
