Elf Archer of Life in Another World

"... It is strictly prohibited for commercial and civilian ships to go to sea privately, and soldiers and civilians are not allowed to go abroad privately. There are those who sell all food and goods to other countries, or those who sell any goods privately.

, they were all punished for being liaisons with foreign thieves and conspirators. The main criminals were executed according to the law, and their heads were still displayed to the public..."

"I actually understand this?"

The onlookers who passed through the inner and outer three floors tried their best to stand on tiptoe and look at the big red notice titled "Sea Restriction Order" on the notice board inside.

Except for the beginning where I don’t know what I’m talking about, I skipped the uncommon words every year and read the rest to Qi Youfeng and Qi Youfeng beside me. I could understand it while reading, and even the sentence fragments sounded fine.

Could it be that my Chinese proficiency has improved in the past few days? I feel a little proud every year.

Qi Youfeng glanced at the common people in front of him and was embarrassed to tell her that this notice was for the common people, and the common people in ancient times were generally not well educated and were only semi-literate...

However, this content...

"Hey, that's not right. Is there something wrong with this?"

Halfway through Nian Nian's reading, he turned back and read it carefully again. He was a little surprised:

"It's forbidden to go to sea? What about the world mission? Can we only go by land?"

"You can't go by land, and private connections to the outside world are prohibited. That is, except for the building boats in the south and the airships from Chang'an, you can't get out or get in."

Qi Youfeng thought of a word he once saw in a history class: seclusion.

"It is forbidden to travel outside the country for private purposes. You can still go out if you have official permission."

Young Master Yan shook his head and corrected Qi Youfeng's words. He listened to the discussions of the people watching, nodded and said:

"It's just a sea restriction order, not a sea ban. There's still a big difference. And aren't the official shipyards considering opening it up to people with permission? So in fact, it can be regarded as a strong promotion of the progress of the world mission, but that's it.

.....”

Young Master Yan kept his distance, but unfortunately the other two people didn't intend to pay attention to him.

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

"Ahem, actually this is not difficult to understand."

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

"Do you think the world mission is as simple as people from here coming over and people from over there coming over?"

"What else?" Nian Nian blinked blankly and turned to look at Young Master Yan cooperatively.

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

"The content of the world mission is to open a trade route between the East and the West, but this trade route must not only be accessible, but also ensure safety along the way."

"I know that. Let's clean up all the demons and ghosts!" Nian Nian nodded and replied.

Young Master Yan shook his head and waved the paper fan in his hand, as if he was giving guidance to the country.

"Security does not only refer to these, nor is it achieved through violence. A stable trade route requires negotiation and reaching certain agreements with various forces along the way, so that everyone can form a community of interests. Only in this way can the safe and effective circulation of goods be ensured.

The caravan does not need to bother to deal with those monsters and monsters, and the good friends along the way will ensure the safety of the caravan."

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

It’s normal.”

Qi Youfeng looked at the eloquent young master Yan. Although he didn't want to admit it, this person's perspective on this matter was indeed different from that of ordinary people. He was indeed a guy who came from a wealthy business family. Even if he was not learned or skilled, he was better than ordinary people.

Ordinary people have more profound insights.

"The forces along the way? What forces will there be at sea? A sea monster?"

Nian Nian still didn't quite understand, so he scratched his cheek and asked.

"There may be pirates, and the ships need to be supplied along the way. Whether it is an island or a coastal city, there may be local forces. You can't fight all the way, right? In this case, even if it's the first time,

If we can get through it, why do we have to waste huge amounts of materials and manpower on conquests countless times in the future? Then this task will not be called opening up trade routes, but invading and expanding borders."

Gongzi Yan patiently explained that even if there were indeed a mission to invade and expand borders, such a mission would not be issued by Tongtian Tower. After all, Tongtian Tower is just a Jianghu organization... Jianghu organization?

When Young Master Yan thought of this, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something fishy about it. Originally, the task of opening up the east-west trade route shouldn't have been issued by Tongtian Tower, right?

So now the imperial court is confronting Tongtian Tower, fighting for the dominance of this world mission?

But Tongtian Tower is just an organization that sells information. It does not have any armed forces itself, and this task is also issued to players and is led by players...

Player? Sect? Cultivation force?

Young Master Yan felt that he had discovered something inside.

"I remember... In terms of setting, there was an agreement on peaceful coexistence between the imperial court and the cultivation sects. The cultivation sects were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court and ordinary people, and the imperial court did not impose laws and etiquette on the cultivation sects.

Control from above?”

Young Master Yan usually doesn't care much about these settings. He obviously doesn't know much about this kind of thing every year. At this time, he can only ask Qi Youfeng for confirmation.

"This... is not absolute, right? Mohism and Confucianism have a good relationship with the imperial court."

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

Other cultivation sects are more restricted, such as Yuxigong, a sect with a background in the opera industry, in which all players are prohibited from becoming officials for life.

"Are you saying that players can enter the officialdom and become officials, or join the army?"

Young Master Yan thought for a while, slowly shaking the paper fan in his hand, and gradually came up with some guesses.

Qi Youfeng thought about Gongzi Yan's question and heard some of its profound meaning.

As a foreigner, Niannian looked left and right. Although he was very happy that Qi Youfeng could finally communicate with Young Master Yan normally, he felt a little confused for a moment. He simply stood on tiptoes and looked in the direction of the bulletin board.

.

Next to the sea restriction order, there is another notice called the Hu restriction order.

Nian Nian didn't understand what "Hu" meant just now, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now he finally had the mood to take a second look.

"Restriction on Husbands..."

Nian Nian muttered it aloud while reading it. Unexpectedly, just 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 ban?"

Nian Nian looked at the two of them a little at a loss, then looked up again and confirmed:

"It's just a ban on Hu, Gu Yue's Hu."

Qi Youfeng and Young Master Yan looked at each other, then pushed aside the crowd in front of them, trying to squeeze in front of the notice board.

Nian Nian quickly followed up and asked: "What's wrong? What's wrong with this order?"

Qi Youfeng frowned. While pushing away the people in front of him, he raised his hands to protect Nian Nian to prevent her from being pushed. At the same time, he explained:

"Hu, refers to people from foreign ethnic groups or foreign countries. This order from the imperial court is aimed at outsiders like you!"
