The old man was very happy.

Li Xiang said that there is a continent outside the ocean east of the Han Dynasty, called "Golden Continent".

Golden Continent is full of gold and platinum, and has three high-yield crops, namely sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. These three crops, after planting and harvesting, are ten times the crop yield of the Han Dynasty! Immediately set off a storm in the Yingchuan County Governor's Mansion.

This is the Yingchuan County Governor's Mansion.

All the people present are outstanding young men from various families.

It stands to reason that Li Xiang, as the current General of the Cavalry and the Marquis of Shenwu, would not talk nonsense.

But, what Li Xiang said was too shocking, right?

"Golden Continent, full of gold? And there are three crops, which can be harvested after planting, which is ten times the crop yield of my Han Dynasty? Lord, are you telling the truth?"

Chen Qun came back to his senses, but his face was full of deep suspicion, and he asked Li Xiang.

The young heroes present looked at Li Xiang, all frowning and suspicious.

With Li Xiang's status, he shouldn't say those irrelevant words, but on the other hand, Li Xiang's words were too unbelievable.

Li Xiang listened to Chen Qun's questions, and then looked at the faces of the Yingchuan talents around him. How could he not understand these people's suspicion.

Li Xiang had a smile on his handsome face, not at all surprised.

As Chen Qun asked when he started asking questions, after pacifying the Yellow Turbans, if he proposed an expedition, it would be a waste of military power for the people of the Han Dynasty.

Now that the Yellow Turbans are wreaking havoc across the world, the people have long been suffering. If he mentions the expedition again, I am afraid that Li Xiang will be criticized for making so many people suffer.

Then, it is better to take the initiative to change the strategy.

Let everyone in the Han Dynasty shift their attention to outside the Han Dynasty.

Money can move people's hearts.

In the Golden Continent, there is abundant gold and silver, vast land, and high-yield crops that can produce ten times the grain of the Han Dynasty.

If these are placed in front of the Han Dynasty's noble families, wealthy families, and people.

Li Xiang does not believe that the Han Dynasty's noble families will not take the initiative to shift their attention to outside the Han Dynasty.

For Li Xiang, in this life, he wants to spread the glory of the Han Dynasty all over the world, starting with naval battles.

After all, expeditions and naval battles will be faster.

Li Xiang was watched by a group of talented people from Yingchuan. He smiled without hesitation:

"Yes, there is gold and silver, that is, platinum, all over the Golden Continent. I heard from the experts that the natives of the Golden Continent are the descendants of the Shang Dynasty. They use gold to build houses, which is very luxurious and spends money like water. The seeds of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn can even be scattered at will, and they will grow fruits."

"The expert taught me martial arts and command, and I believe in the expert. Soon, I plan to form a fleet and let people cross the Pacific Ocean to go to the Golden Continent to find out and see if I can find a paradise for the suffering people of my Han Dynasty!"

Li Xiang said with some deliberate exaggeration.

The voice reached the ears of Chen Qun, Xi Zhicai, Xu Yuanzhi and others, making them widen their eyes.

There is gold and platinum all over the Golden Continent. The natives of the Golden Continent are the descendants of the Shang Dynasty? Use gold to build houses? Spend money like water?

Then sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn can even grow fruits by randomly sowing seeds?

"Are the people in this Golden Island so extravagant?"

Chen Qun was dumbfounded and exclaimed.

The Chen family is a big family in Yingchuan, and they have thousands of acres of land. However, it is wishful thinking to say that they use gold to build houses and spend money like water.

You should know that in the Han Dynasty, one gold can be exchanged for ten thousand coins.

And a five-zhu coin can be equivalent to the purchasing power of three yuan in later generations.

In other words, one gold is equivalent to 30,000 yuan.

How much gold is needed to build a house?

Money moves people's hearts. Even at this moment, a group of Yingchuan talents with extraordinary backgrounds in the hall are subconsciously filled with strong yearning for the Golden Island described by Li Xiang.

"So, my plan is to prepare a fleet to cross the Pacific Ocean after pacifying the Yellow Turbans. At that time, if the Golden Island is really as the expert said, I will ask Your Majesty to develop the Golden Island and divert the attention of the poor people in the Han Dynasty to outside the Han Dynasty. Therefore, I said at the beginning that it is wrong to be militaristic. I will not be militaristic, but I will not say that I will not send troops outside the Han Dynasty! There is no conflict between militarism and going to war outside the Han Dynasty!" Li Xiang smiled and responded to Chen Qun. "Qun has learned from you. The Marquis knows the situation in the Han Dynasty. If the Golden Island really brings back gold and high-yield crops as you said, then it will be our great

The blessing of the Han people. "

Chen Qun saluted Li Xiang respectfully, but his voice was full of expectation.

Li Xiang smiled and nodded to Chen Qun.

Chen Qun sat down.

Looking at Chen Qun who was sitting down, Li Xiang's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

In fact, what really made Li Xiang decide to send troops from land to foreign countries outside the Han Dynasty, turn to colonization and plunder from the sea, and even establish a huge force.

It was the reward from the system that Li Xiang was named the General of the Cavalry and the Marquis of Shenwu.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for being named the General of the Cavalry of the Han Dynasty, and being granted the title of Marquis of Shenwu, with 18,000 households in Longxi County and Wudu County, and the Li family has grown. The host is rewarded with [a detailed design drawing of Zheng He's treasure ship] (ten sample treasure ships), [a detailed design drawing of the American clipper "Sea King"] (fifteen sample clippers), [a copy of various ancient navigation technology knowledge].]

At the beginning, I got Li Xiang was shocked when he received the system's major reward.

In fact, the system reward this time was too exciting.

The blueprint of Zheng He's treasure ship, and the sample ship, what a concept.

You have to know that Zheng He's treasure ship was the most advanced ship in ancient China.

Every time it was deployed, it caused panic and shock in foreign countries.

And the clipper ship, the King of the Sea, also had an extraordinary origin.

The clipper ship was the fastest ship in ancient history.

The background of its creation was a ship built by the United States in the 19th century to break through the blockade of the British naval fleet.

Later, this clipper ship became a tool for Western drug dealers to transport opium to the coast of China.

The most amazing speed of the clipper ship was proved by the fact that it crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 13 days, which shocked the world at that time.

The birth of Zheng He's treasure ship and the clipper ship made Li Xiang see the possibility of overseas layout from the sea.
