    The return of Lu Qing and the others brought a storm to the territory of Dengzhou. All the merchants who were going to Silla, Baekje or the Japanese Kingdom came to Lu Qing and the others, hoping to form a team with them. After all, if they took the new route,  Not only can it save a lot of time, but the cost will also be reduced by almost double. Naturally, there are people rushing to do such a cost-effective business.

    However, it is a pity that according to the original agreement, this new route was managed by the Prince of Qi, so the chart of the route has been handed over to Li Min. All merchants who want to take this new route must register with the Prince's Mansion and then unify it.  After that, Lu Qing and the others will send people to assist them to pilot the voyage. Of course, merchants will charge a certain fee when signing up. After all, in order to open up this new route, Li Min can pay the price of two new ships, and there is no way to recover it.  Cost is not his character.  .

    In addition to shipping routes, the two government-run shipyards are also surprisingly popular.  After the trial voyage, although Lu Qing and the others found some minor shortcomings on the two new ships, this could not cover up the huge advantages of the two ships. Because both ships were pointed bottom ships, and the designs were reasonable, they had the same focus.  Under the water, in this way, although the two types of boats have a deeper draft, they are more stable and more resistant to wind and waves. During the process of exploring the route, they encountered strong winds and waves many times, but they both  Driving through safely.  In addition to being stable and safe, the speed and operation of these two ships are also stronger than the previous ships. Therefore, as Lu Qing and others spread the word, these two new ships have gradually been recognized by many maritime merchants, and they have come to the government office  Shipyards order in order to meet these crazy orders.  Not only did the civilian shipyards begin to expand, but the military shipyards also detached some craftsmen to start building two types of new ships in response to orders.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Min simply integrated the shipbuilding industry in Dengzhou and established the Shipbuilding Industry Association. All shipyards that want to obtain patents for new ship construction must join this association.  Unified naturalization distribution will be carried out for all shipyards, and after this round of integration, all shipbuilding workers and resources in Dengzhou will be maximized.  This also caused the shipbuilding industry in Dengzhou to begin its first major explosion in history. In just a few months, dozens of Galen ships and Fu ships of various sizes were produced.

    Originally, Yifan was wanted to be the president of the Shipbuilding Industry Association, but she was busy trial-producing steam engines.  And from time to time, he had to help Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng do some experiments and calculations, so he was so busy that he didn't even have time to take care of the private shipyard under his own name, let alone deal with the shipbuilding industry association.

    In the end, in desperation, the chairman of the Shipbuilding Industry Association was handed over to Wei Heizi. After designing two new ships, Wei Heizi had slowly established his authority in the Dengzhou shipbuilding industry, and with Li Min's support  , he also recruited a group of skilled shipbuilding craftsmen, and they were instructed by Li Min.  A ship design institute was established to specialize in researching and improving new ship types. The patents for two new ships are in the name of this design institute. Therefore, all large and small shipyards in Dengzhou have close ties with it. He serves as the chairman of the Shipbuilding Industry Association  The president is also popular.

    ¡°In addition, having Wei Heizi serve as the president has another benefit.  He was originally an official in Prince Li Min's palace. If he was appointed, it would also be easier for Li Min to control the entire shipbuilding industry. After all, the shipbuilding industry occupies a key position in Li Min's plan and could only be controlled by himself.  can be better utilized.

    After the caravan in Dengzhou became familiar with the new route, Lu Qing and others said goodbye to Li Min, saying that they were going back to the south to do something.  They were originally businessmen from the south, and it was normal for them to go back now, so Li Min did not stop them and set up wine at the palace to see them off.  At the banquet, Lu Qing and others said that after they went back to finish things, they would come back immediately and would probably stay in Dengzhou in the future. This was an unexpected surprise. Li Min had long hoped to take Lu Qing and others into his own hands.  , so naturally it is extremely welcome.

    After seeing off Lu Qing and the others, Li Chunfeng also had to say goodbye. Summer was about to pass, and his vacation was almost used up, so he naturally had to prepare to return to Chang'an early.  The research work on the sextant has made some progress. With the help of Yuan Tiangang and Zhao Yifan, they have sorted out a method for calculating longitude and latitude using celestial bodies, and have also simplified the entire complex calculation process a lot. However, they want to use  The few things Li Min provided were made into a sextant, and then combining the calculation process with the use of the sextant was not something that could be done in a day or two.

    Therefore, after Li Chunfeng returned to Chang'an this time, he not only had to build the observatory that he had agreed on last time, but also designed the working principle of the sextant. The task was very arduous. Fortunately, there were many talents proficient in astronomical arithmetic in Chang'an City. Li Chunfeng  There was no need to worry about not having helpers, and he also assured Li Min that although the development of this sextant would be difficult, he would be confident in developing it as long as he was given some time.

    Li Min was naturally extremely happy for Li Chunfeng's guarantee, as long as it could be done, as for time, anyway?I am only fifteen years old this year, so I have plenty of time to wait.

    Today is the day that Li Chunfeng leaves. Li Min is dressed in casual clothes and only has a few guards with him to see him off. Yuan Tiangang and Zhao Yifan are naturally among them.  But for some reason, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were both in poor spirits, as if they didn't sleep well yesterday.

    Li Min and Li Chunfeng toasted together, and after drinking the farewell wine, Li Chunfeng strode onto the bow of the ship, turned around and cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, please come back, Chunfeng bids farewell!"

    Li Min and the other three also returned the gift with their hands in hand, saying repeatedly: ¡®Take care of it!  ¡¯

    And Li Chunfeng waved again and again, until he saw the three people on the pier getting smaller and smaller, and finally even the entire Dengzhou Port slowly disappeared under the sea level, he sighed. Although the sea breeze was strong, he did not  After entering the cabin, he looked at the birds on the sea and remembered what Master Yuan had talked about when he found him last night.

    "Chunfeng, do you still remember when we first met His Highness King Qi, His Highness asked me to meet him?" Yuan Tiangang frowned under the candlelight, as if he had thought of some unsolvable problem.  Tomorrow is the day when Li Chunfeng leaves. Tonight, Yuan Tiangang is going to have a chat with Li Chunfeng. At the same time, he also wants to tell the other person a difficult problem that he has been unable to figure out these days and let him help him figure it out.

    "Well, Master Yuan, I was a little surprised that time. With your knowledge of physiognomy, how could there be such invisible faces in this world? Master Yuan must have something to say that he couldn't say at that time, right?" Li Chunfeng sat next to him,  He asked while making tea.

    "Actually, I didn't lie. I really can't understand His Highness King Qi's fortune telling!" Yuan Tiangang smiled bitterly and shook his head. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

    "What, this this is actually true?" Li Chunfeng was also startled, his usually steady hand shook slightly, and a few drops of tea fell on the table.

    "Well, His Highness Prince Qi's appearance is full of ancient times. On the surface, he just looks like a wealthy prince, but if you look closely, you can see that he has an indescribable look on his face. And I also see something in him.  !" Yuan Tiangang said with a wry smile. It was the kind of thing about Li Min that made him puzzled during this period. He even decided to stay in Dengzhou and observe the changes in Li Min's fortune at any time.

    "Master Yuan, what does His Highness King Qi have on him?" Li Chunfeng asked curiously.

    "Nine-five spirit!" Yuan Tiangang suddenly changed his face and said a name that made Li Chunfeng stunned.

    "This how is this possible?" Li Chunfeng stood there for a long time in shock at the name. Finally, his legs suddenly gave way and he fell down on the stool, with an incredible expression on his face.

    The so-called Nine-Five Qi is a physiognomist term, and the explanation is very complicated. But to put it simply, there are only two people with this kind of Qi in the entire Tang Dynasty. One is the current emperor Li Shimin, and the other is  He is his successor, the next Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.  It is said that Li Min is Li Shimin's son, and it is normal for him to have this kind of Nine-Five Spirit. After all, he is one of Li Shimin's favorite sons and is very likely to inherit the throne.  But of course there was a reason why Li Chunfeng was so shocked.

    "Master, didn't you say last time that besides Your Majesty, the other person with the spirit of the Nine-Five-Year Plan is His Royal Highness Prince Jin? But now why does the Spirit of the Nine-Five-Year Plan also appear in His Highness Prince Qi? Is it possible that the position of the emperor  Are there actually two heirs?" Li Chunfeng was shocked and asked hurriedly with an anxious look on his face. This is a major event that affects the fate of the world and cannot be ignored at all.

    "I don't know about this either!" Yuan Tiangang said with a wry smile, "I have been thinking hard about the reason for this matter for a while, but after thinking about it, I only came up with two possibilities. The first one may be my physiognomy.  If there is a problem, the other one is that my physiognomy is correct, but the consequences are too terrible, I would rather my physiognomy is wrong!" Yuan Tiangang said this with a painful expression on his face.

    "Master Yuan, what do you mean" Li Chunfeng is also a smart man. He immediately thought of the meaning of Yuan Tiangang's words, but when he thought of the consequences, he couldn't help but shudder. Could it be that the land of China has been peaceful for a few years?  , will we fall into war again?

    In fact, the meaning of Yuan Tiangang's words is already very clear. If his physiognomy is correct, then from the perspective of him and Li Chunfeng, the only possibility is that both Li Min and Li Zhi will become emperors in the future, but there will only be one emperor in the Tang Dynasty.  , how could there be two emperors?  The only explanation for this situation is to turn one throne into two, that is, the Tang Dynasty was split into two countries. Li Min and Li Zhi each took the throne in their own countries, but as the saying goes, there is no difference between heaven and country.  Lord, in order to fight for legitimacy, the two countries will definitely fight endlessly. By then, I don¡¯t know how many people in the world will be displaced, recreating the tragic situation at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

    "Hey, that's not right!" He was immersed in deep pain.??Chunfeng suddenly thought of something, woke up immediately and said, "Master Yuan, based on my calculation of the fate of the Tang Dynasty, within a hundred years, the fate of the country of the Tang Dynasty will only get stronger and stronger. There seems to be no sign of division?"
