Valley Emperor

After coming out of the Royal Courtyard, Wang Shanxi seemed to be a little high-spirited, because when he was facing the Holy Spirit, the Holy Emperor himself said that he had made great achievements, and at the same time, he also asked for his own opinions and asked himself if he would like to continue to explore new routes. , to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Δ『ksnhu』1a

From the heart, in fact, Wang Shanxi is no longer willing to go out to sea to explore. It is too dangerous. After going out to sea, whether or not he can come back is purely a matter of luck.

When he explored Australia before, he also encountered several dangers before and after, and was almost drawn into the windless belt in the center of the ocean.

In this era of sailboats, there is nothing more terrifying than encountering a quiet sea without wind and currents. However, such sea areas are more common in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

However, even though he knew it was dangerous, even though he was a little reluctant in his heart, when the Son of Heaven asked himself if he would like to explore a new route for the empire, he still said yes without hesitation!

Of course, there is also the willingness of him to become a baron, and to get a full 5,000 taels of silver bonus, and at the same time to become a colonel of the 6th Army!

As the one who took the initiative and found Australia, his credit is undoubtedly huge. When he was facing the saint, the Son of Heaven granted him the title of baron on the spot, and personally promoted him to his military rank. He was promoted two levels in a row, from the 6th Army Major to the 6th Army. Colonel.

Well, although it sounds like it is unreliable for a colonel of the 6th Army to lead a team to explore the route, the MIDS is only under the name of the Privy Council and adopts the rank of the 6th Army, but in fact, the MIDS has nothing to do with the 6th Army.

The Department of Military Intelligence operates independently and is used to spy on military intelligence and the intelligence structure to sabotage enemy countries.

Because Wang Shanxi's 6th Army Colonel is completely different from the 6th Army Colonel in other institutions in the Privy Council.

After the audience, Wang Shanxi received the official imperial decree and the title document, as well as a cashier's check from the Royal Bank, a full 5,000 taels of silver.

Therefore, when he walked out of the office building of the Imperial Academy in the Royal Courtyard, his identity had become a Baron of the Empire and a Colonel of the 6th Army.

On the way back to the inn, Wang Shanxi felt a little light and unsteady when walking. After going out to sea, he got a baron for himself?

Before going to sea, he never thought that there would be such a good thing, but just regarded it as an important task explained by the above!

However, this is the truth, he really got a baron for himself!

This is a noble title. Nowadays, many people in the empire are eagerly looking forward to obtaining a title. However, except for the high-ranking military generals, especially the chief officers who lead troops to fight, most of them have nothing to do with it. hopefully.

This is so. At present, there are more than 400 people with titles in the entire empire. Although there are rumors that after the pacification of Liaodong, His Majesty will confer a large number of heroes, and then he will confer a group of nobles. Those who hold the title will also be promoted to the title, and even several dukes will appear.

However, now this Liaodong has not been pacified, so the expected great hero has not come yet.

Against this background, he himself has obtained a baron title, even if it is the lowest title, it is not a hereditary title, but this is also a huge good thing for him.

On the way back, he even thought that he should buy a large mansion in Jinling City. He heard that most of the other nobles in the empire have their own noble mansions. Those marquis, earls, etc., the mansion is even the Son of Heaven. given.

After all, he is also a baron and a nobleman. Although the Son of Heaven did not give him the mansion directly, he was rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver. In addition, the extra money from a trip to the sea added up to several thousand taels of silver. Some of the savings of being an official over the years are too much to say, but he can still use it for about ten thousand liang.

Although the mansion in Jinling City is not cheap, if you throw away tens of thousands of taels of silver, you can also buy a mansion and buy some furniture and other items. When the parents, wife and children are brought to Jinling City from their hometown, they should also enjoy it. Noble life.

With that in mind, he felt that it was necessary to write a letter to his hometown and ask his parents, wife and children to come to Jinling City from their hometown.

So after a few days, Wang Shanxi was socializing everywhere. He was awarded a baron, which attracted the attention of many people in Jinling City. Although few people were awarded a baron for what he did, well, Today, the existence of Australia is still a military secret and will not be announced to the outside world for the time being.

But a baron is a baron, one of the more than 400 nobles in the empire. The appearance of Wang Shanxi still attracts the attention of many people. Many people are inquiring about whether Wang Shanxi has a wife, what, he has already married a wife. , my son is almost ten years old.

Well, it's better, I happen to have an eight-year-old daughter, let's pick up the children's in-laws?

Some wealthy businessmen and gentry are even talking about dowry and so on. Wang Shanxi is satisfied with keeping you safe.

However, the other officials of the imperial court had to be much more restrained and would only ask around corners.

The other nobles who are also nobles have to be more restrained, because most nobles are now military nobles, and all of them are generals.

Although Wang Shanxi also wears the title of Colonel of the 6th Army, everyone knows that the Colonel of the 6th Army of the Military Intelligence Department can be called the Colonel of the 6th Army? At most, it is just a grade name, it should not be taken seriously.

In addition, the military nobles have more scruples. If they hold military power, they need to be cautious and cautious if they want to marry.

If you find Wang Shanxi!

Well, you are a general of the 6th Army, looking for an intelligence officer to marry, what do you want to do? Could it be that the accumulated team wants to rebel?

Therefore, military generals tend to be more inclined to marry within the aristocracy, or they are married with private gentry and rich people, and usually do not marry other officials of the court.

While socializing with these people, Wang Shanxi was also busy buying real estate. After letting the intermediaries show several houses, he finally chose a three-entry house not far from the Royal Courtyard. This house is actually not large in scale. Considered big, in the three-entry house, it is a small person.

But they don't have many royal families, and the location of this place is good, close to the Royal Courtyard, so on this street, all the dignitaries live, next door is the family of the minister of the Ministry of Officials, and a few more, that is the dynasty The mansion of Marquis Chen Keqiao!

The houses on this street are all expensive. He spent a full 8,000 taels of silver to buy this house, and then hired some servants and other housekeepers.

After his family arrives from his hometown, he will be able to check in directly. At that time, he will be relieved to go to sea again.

However, the next time he will go to sea will not be so fast. He plans to wait until the spring of next year before officially going out. Taking advantage of the last wave of monsoons, he will first arrive in Luzon, and then start the next step south to the gold mining port in northern Australia.

The place where they found the gold mine was already named the Gold Mine Port. It's simple and clear. He also heard that the Immigration and Reclamation Division was preparing for secret immigration. He was going to immigrate to the first few hundred people for preliminary construction.

And the Gold Mine Port will be the departure point for his next exploration route!

The next time he goes to sea, his task is to explore Australia, find the rich place in southeastern Australia that His Majesty said, and also explore several other islands in the waters near Australia.

Wang Shanxi hasn't gone to sea so soon, but the others don't have so much encouragement!

Captain of the Navy, after Su Jiade had an audience with the Son of Heaven, he directly took the navy's internal transportation boat down the river and arrived at Wusong Port!

Here, there is a brand new and specially modified expedition ship waiting for him. At the same time, the crew he personally selected was also in place early, waiting for his captain to arrive.

Su Jiade, who went down the river, soon arrived at Wusong Port. Then, after making the final preparations at Wusong Port, he led the crew and officially set sail on the Chinese rose, heading straight for Ryukyu!

On the bridge, Su Jiade watched the sailors struggling to pull the ropes, control the sails to maintain the direction, and push the ship to sail eastward, and nodded slightly.

At this time, a young man in casual clothes beside him said: "Colonel Su, I have long heard that you are a second-to-none captain~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Most of these sailors were trained, and when I saw them today, sure enough It's a well-deserved reputation!"

Su Jiade chuckled, and then said: "What is our skill? It's not to watch the sky to eat. If there is no wind, no matter how good we are at sailing, it will be useless. At that time, we will have to rely on your steam engine, Mr. Shi. what!"

"But Mr. Shi, this steam engine is such an expensive thing, it's bumpy along the way, will it break down, and our rose number is almost 700 tons, can this steam engine propel it?"

In the face of Su Jiade's words, the young Mr. Shi also said with a cautious expression: "To be honest, I don't know, this steam engine was originally just a test product made by our company according to the design of the Royal Institute of Technology. , It was originally intended to carry out the test, but the above said that your side is in urgent need, so our company simply moved the test to your ship.

However, although this steam engine has been improved many times by the Royal Institute of Technology, and it has also been specially designed for the ship, our Zhaoqing Machinery Company also used the best materials and crafted it with the best skilled workers. Yes, but will it be bad on the way? It's hard to say! "

"But don't worry, we have already taken these problems into consideration when we installed it, and we have taken many measures such as anti-shock shock, and we have also carried out strict fixing. The problem should not be big, and even if there are some problems. , we can also repair it on the spot!"

"As for the power issue, we adopted the method of double boiler linkage, and we also tried to use a new type of steel to build core components such as boilers, which can withstand higher air pressure. In our previous test run, the power output of this steam engine, An unprecedented thirty-five horsepower!"
