Gaiden 10 Drifting into the distance
In the autumn of the second year of Hongzhi, news came from Owari that the corn planted by farmers failed to meet the expected yield, and there was a gap of about 3% as expected.Rafael understands that this is the biggest problem of crops cultivated by modern agriculture-retained seeds deteriorating!
The seeds that Raphael handed over to Owari were the third-generation seeds that Bao'er asked the Nohara family to bring and breed.If the farmers in Owari hadn't concealed anything, then the grain yield of this generation of seeds would have been lower by almost 5% compared to the first generation of improved seeds.

"It's time to go to the place of origin to exchange some seeds and come back." Rafael immediately asked his adjutant Hei Xiaobao to inform the high-level chamber of commerce: "Go and tell them that the 'New World' plan is launched!"

Soon after, Hongzhi from Damoe, Li Cang from Li Dynasty, and Nobunaga Oda from Dongying all received invitation letters from Dongbao's "New World" project.

"What? There is a piece of land in the extreme east of the sea that is bigger than Dameng?"

When some old-fashioned ministers in the court of Mengguo heard the contents of the invitation letter, they all felt that this was simply a ridiculous joke!These people don't dare to believe it, they just don't want to believe it.It's as if they don't want to believe in the theory of the circle of the earth, which has been especially popular among sailors in recent years, because once they believe it, it will herald the collapse of the Confucian worldview they believe in.

However, there are still many officials in the DPRK and China who are very interested in the so-called "New World", because in the past two years, in the military camps around Shanhaiguan, they have been trying to grow an imported crop called potatoes.According to the people of the Dongbao fleet, these crops were all snatched from the Frangji people in Luzon.And Francine... Forget it, it's called Spain now.The Spaniards also explained that these crops were brought from the Far East across the sea.

Of course, these are just lies made up by Rafael, but corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes and other crops all originate in Central and South America!

The cabinet ministers are also discussing that if it can bring back many high-yielding food crops from the New World, even if it costs millions, it will be worth it!
As for Emperor Hongzhi himself, the ambition to rebuild the prosperous world in his arms is already eager to try!Just a few days ago, when Bao'er learned that Raphael was planning to organize a joint fleet to go to America, she went to the palace to ask Hongzhi for his opinion.In fact, Bao'er was going to discuss with Emperor Hongzhi. If the minister disagreed, he was asked to take money from internal funds to participate in the "New World" project.Emperor Hongzhi also readily agreed.

However, to the great surprise of Emperor Hongzhi, the cabinet even took the initiative to suggest that the emperor participate in the plan of the Dongbao Chamber of Commerce, and actively discussed with the emperor whether the internal funds could also share part of the planned funding.

As for Li Chao and Dongying, Li Cang and Nobunaga also agreed, but there is no way to spend 100 million taels of silver at once to build a large frigate and four clipper cargo ships like Da Meng.The two families each took out 20 taels of silver to customize a new ocean-going cargo ship. As for battleships, the two said they still couldn't afford them, so they could only hang out with Dongbao's main fleet.

This voyage is different from previous voyages in Asian waters. The hydrological environment of East Asian waters has long been understood by seniors, and the chamber of commerce only needs to sum up experience.But for this cross-ocean voyage, even if Raphael's system can help the fleet draw the optimal route, the hydrology is completely blind.Therefore, except for the two large frigates named "Sea Superman" and "Ocean Ranger" that were launched the year before last, all the ships used for oceangoing ships this time are newly built ships!

The six shipyards under Dongbao rejected all shipbuilding contracts and started building 6 newest ships at one time.As for the large warship ordered by the Damoe imperial court, because the construction of that thing was too troublesome, the Dongbao fleet had to "reluctantly" transfer the "Ocean Ranger" under its command to Damoe.Then "Ocean Ranger" became "Chengtian"...

At the same time, the three countries have also sent their own descendants to enter Lushun Dongbao Navigation Vocational and Technical College for unified training.However, if there are too many ships like Dameng and the manpower is obviously insufficient, they have to hire Jurchen and sailors from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations.

In March of the third year of Hongzhi, "Hai Chaoren" was the flagship, "Chengtian" was the sub-flagship, and 11 50-meter-long clipper cargo ships officially set sail from Nagoya Port. In order to explore the distant and mysterious new world, All the way to the east!

Side Story 11 Kirin
Pengshan Wonderland.

During this period of time, more and more people from twelve countries, in order to become the new king of Daiji Kingdom, took the risk to cross the vast sand sea and arrived at Pengshan Mountain to participate in the ceremony called "Mountain Ascension".

The so-called "mountain ascending" means that these people climbed to the top of Pengshan Mountain and waited for Qilin to come and see them. If there is a kingly spirit in these people, Qilin will worship them at their feet and regard them as kings.So even though the road is dangerous and difficult, and may be swallowed by monsters on the sandy sea, there is always an endless stream of people who come to ascend the mountain to try their luck.

The most exaggerated thing is that some people were not favored by Qilin after they were promoted, and they even set up tents and lived on Pengshan Mountain, waiting for Qilin to "change their minds" when Qilin didn't exist at all.

"The quality of those who have ascended the mountain in the past two months has become worse and worse."

Another fairy who was in charge of taking care of Pengshan Gong (Kirin) also said: "Yes, yesterday Pengshan Gong also saw someone pulling...pull..."

"Fucking wild shit." Qiao Qiao added expressionlessly.

When the other fairies heard such vulgar words, they showed expressions of disgust.But they didn't dare to dislike Mr. Pengshan, but the guy who pulled wild shit.

"That..." Qiao Qiao looked at the crooked melons and jujubes all over the square, and couldn't help frowning, and asked the fairies: "Can't we distinguish between those who come to ascend the mountain? What the hell!" Qiao Qiao pointed to the dozen or so people gathered in the square, and asked, "Why, isn't Pengshan so casual that no one cares about gathering people to gamble?"

"This one……"

The fairy had no choice but to answer: "According to the rules of the Emperor of Heaven, anyone who can climb Mount Peng, regardless of their status or character, can participate in the ascent."

Hearing this answer, Qiao Qiao just said "oh", then pulled out the vajra umbrella from his Qiankun bag, and walked towards the group of people who were having a good time gambling.Several fairies who knew Qiao Qiao saw that Mr. Pengshan was putting on this air again, and guessed that Mr. Pengshan was about to do something, so they hurried to inform Mrs. Wang (the lord of Pengshan) to deal with the aftermath.

But Qiao Qiao's movements were obviously faster. Just when the fairy ran out to find Mrs. Wang, Qiao Qiao's diamond umbrella smashed the improvised gambling table to pieces.

A dozen or so gamblers saw that Master Qiao Qi had come in person, and thought that some lucky guy among them would be chosen by Qilin to become the Lord of Dai Kingdom.

"I advise you to put away your unreasonable thoughts. Even if all the people in Daiji Kingdom are dead, the throne will not fall on the heads of you rubbish. Also, at sunrise tomorrow, I don't want I saw you guys on the mountain. And you better remember it, the biggest difference between me and other unicorns is that I dare to kill people!"

Qiao Qiao took three or two steps back and swung the giant umbrella in his hand. All the gamblers felt a sudden gust of wind, and then these guys were blown nearly 10 feet away by the gust of wind.They all fell badly, and a few guys even broke their arms.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang came forward in time and healed the injuries on these guys before driving them down the mountain.

Mrs. Wang knew that this black unicorn from Dai Jiguo was really special to the extreme.I think it has been six or seven years since he returned to Pengshan, but he still can't change back to the original Qilin.He also didn't learn any advanced spells, and only mastered some superficial skills.

But the most special thing is that Qiao Qiao, as a unicorn, is not afraid of bloody breath at all.Other unicorns would tremble even if they smelled the smell of blood, but Qiao Qiao seemed to be born with... No!It was because Qiao Qi's original living environment probably had a lot of bloody smell, which made him completely used to it, and even immune to the effect of bloody smell on Qilin.

Therefore, a unicorn who is not afraid of the smell of blood will naturally not care about seeing blood.Similarly, Mrs. Wang could also smell blood from Qiao Qiao's body, which meant that Qiao Qi had really killed someone before returning to Pengshan!

More likely to have killed a lot of people!
Early the next morning, when Qiao Qiao woke up from his sleep, he found that the number of people in the square had dropped by half.This scene made Qiao Qiao sigh with emotion. It turns out that this world is the same as the other side. The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the violent ones, the violent ones are afraid of death, and the desperate ones are afraid of mental illness.

"Well, brother Bao'er is almost the kind of existence that is mentally ill."

"Ah!"

Bao'er, who was returning to Tianjinwei from Nagoya by boat, sneezed suddenly.

It's a pity that before Qiao Qiao could express his emotions, the envoy of Pengshan suddenly sent news that he had found the breath of the Qilin of Yan Kingdom who fled Pengshan a few years ago near the Seto Inland Sea in Penglai.
