Chapter 384 Invitation of the Hongwu Empire
In the morning of the second day, Ye Chen, served by several beautiful maids, after having a rich breakfast, met Conan in a spacious, bright and luxurious living room and listened to Conan's report on the British Empire and the Hongwu Empire.
"Your Majesty, the British Empire's fleet in the sea area of Turtle Island has been completely destroyed. In a short time, the sea area of Turtle Island will be the territory and sphere of influence of our Wuguo Sea Fleet. I don't know about the British Empire merchants who stay in the Hongwu Empire and the British Empire merchants to and Turtle Island. What's your plan and how to treat them?
After reporting the general information of the British Empire and the Hongwu Empire to Ye Chen in detail, Conan asked Ye Chen about his most concerned issues.
Although the merchants of the British Empire were abominable and used various relationships to promote the British Empire's maritime fleet to levy high trade taxes on the sea merchants of our Wu, which damaged the profits of our merchants and reduced the trade taxes of our Wu Kingdom, but these merchants of the British Empire did not reach madness. At the point of crazy plundering and killing the sea merchants of our Wu Kingdom, so I am not ready to punish these British Empire at seas!
However, in order to save the losses of our Wuguo treasury and merchants, I did not intend to easily let go of the British Empire sea merchants. I am ready to collect high trade taxes from all British imperial sea merchants to and from the British Empire and Turtle Island, and conduct a one-year trade for all Wuguo sea merchants to and from Wu and Turtle Island. Easy subsidies enable our business sea to develop and grow as soon as possible and have the strength to protect ourselves
As for the British merchants who stayed in the Hongwu Empire, as long as they don't provoke me, I won't use force against them! After all, Turtle Island is not our territory, but the territory of the Hongwu Empire. In the territory of the powerful Hongwu Empire, it is better not to leave a rampant impression.
Hearing Conan's words, Ye Chen thought for a moment and said calmly.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Conan's face showed a faint smile. He agreed with Ye Chen's decision and quickly praised loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"
In Conan's view, the war between the British Empire and the Wu Kingdom is a matter between the rulers of the two countries. It has little to do with the merchants of the two countries and should not be involved in the merchants of the two countries.
The rulers of the British Empire and the Wu Kingdom can suppress the merchants of local countries through taxation and other commercial means, but they cannot kill and mutilate the merchants of local countries, because it will cause the dissatisfaction of merchants in other countries and make their goods unable to be effectively circulated.
"Conan, you have spent a lot of time in the Hongwu Empire. Do you know where there are more treasures?"
After talking about business, Ye Chen asked Conan what he was most concerned about.
Since Yuanjue entered the third layer and can directly absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, Ye Chen has worked hard to practice, but the effect is not very good, making Ye Chen, who is used to high-speed progress, very unaccustomed to it. Therefore, Ye Chen turned his eyes again to those natural treasures, hoping to make rapid progress in his cultivation with the help of the powerful natural and earth spirit contained in the natural treasures.
"Your Majesty, the Hongwu Empire is very large and rich in products, among which there are also many natural materials and treasures! However, the most famous place, with the best natural resources and treasures, can quickly improve people's strength, is the underworld forbidden land with many dark creatures.
Hearing Ye Chen's inquiry, Conan responded without any hesitation.
"Then please introduce this forbidden place to me."
Hearing Conan's words, Ye Chen's eyes lit up and said expectantly.
"Your Majesty, the Forbidden Land is located in the center of Shengui Island, thousands of miles northwest of Kyoto, the imperial capital of the Hongwu Empire. It is a treasure land of warcraft, dark creatures rampant, and many treasures. However, due to the large number of monsters and dark creatures in the underworld and their extremely strong strength, coupled with the growth of various man-eating plants and the unique corrosive fog in the underworld, many adventurers and mercenaries who went to the underworld have suffered heavy losses. Therefore, the underworld is known as Hongwu Emperor. The first forbidden place in the country.
However, because the products in the underworld are too rich, there are countless natural resources and treasures in it, especially the underworld spring in the center of the underworld, which makes countless adventurers and mercenaries, as well as powerful lone warriors, pour into the underworld to find opportunities to become rich overnight and make breakthroughs. , make the underworld forbidden land, the first forbidden place of the Hongwu Empire, very lively, and also make the underworld forbidden land a monster that devours human lives and a place where thieves rampant robbers.
Hearing Ye Chen's inquiry and seeing the expectation on Ye Chen's face, Conan pondered a little, sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly.
"Conan, what is this ghost spring? Is there anything special about it?"
As soon as Conan's voice fell, Ye Chen's eyes lit up and quickly asked loudly.
"Your Majesty, this underworld divine spring is the first divine object in the underworld. Its gushing spring contains a strong natural and local atmosphere. Any martial artist, as long as long as he takes a sip of the spring water of the underworld, he will feel energetic and full of physical strength. Any martial artist, as long as he enters the underworld spring gushes out Taking a bath in the spring can raise the probability of breaking through the bottleneck to eight layers. Therefore, the Netherworld Spring attracts a large number of masters of the Hongwu Empire to pour into the underworld.
However, the powerful effect of the Nether God Spring has attracted the attention of dark creatures in the Forbidden Land. It has deliberately built a strong fortress near the Netherworld Spring and stationed a large number of masters to prevent people from the outside world from approaching the Netherworld Spring and raising the Netherworld Spring for training masters.
Hearing Ye Chen's inquiry, Conan said without hesitation.
"The effect of this Netherworld Spring is so powerful that the royal family of the Hongwu Empire is not moved. Didn't you send masters to seize the Netherworld Spring?"
Hearing Conan's words, Ye Chen asked with a puzzled face.
Ye Chen felt that after knowing the powerful effect of the Netherworld Spring, he would definitely send a large number of masters to raise the Netherworld Spring in the first time, use it for himself and his loyal subordinates, and compare his heart. Ye Chen felt that the royal family of the Hongwu Empire would not let go of the Netherworld Spring.
"Your Majesty, the effect of the Netherworld Spring is so powerful that the royal family of the Hongwu Empire is of course moved! However, the royal family of the Hongwu Empire has just begun to prepare for the action of attacking the underworld and raising the underworld spring. Several Warcraft masters and various dark creature leaders in the underworld have joined hands to enter Kyoto City, the imperial capital of the Hongwu Empire, and fought fiercely with the top strong men of the Hongwu Empire royal family in the depths of the clouds. After that, the Hongwu Empire cancelled the plan to attack the underworld, captivity, and ordered all the in-service personnel of the Hongwu Empire not to step into the underworld.
Hearing Ye Chen's inquiry, Conan smiled and said slowly.
"Oh, that's it! It seems that the underworld is much more dangerous than I thought!"
Hearing Conan's words, Ye Chen and Irina sighed helplessly.
With such a powerful power as the Hongwu Empire, he bowed his head in front of the powerful power of the Warcraft masters and the dark creature leaders in the underworld. Ye Chen did not think that his power was more powerful than the Hongwu Empire on the Turtle Island, and he had no choice but to suppress his intention to go to the underworld.
Then, after Ye Chen asked Conan about the Hongwu Empire and the Turtle Island, he let Conan retreat and hide in the practice room to study various combat skills in the Xuantian Treasure Book.
After Conan left Ye Chen's living room, he sent someone to release Ye Chen's opinions on the merchants of the British Empire, which made the British Empire businessmen breathe a sigh of relief. While celebrating to save a life, he was depressed and secretly thought about how to use his relationship and move the British Empire royal family again. Dispatched the fleet to compete with the Wuguo fleet for the hegemony in the sea area of Shengui Island, so as to avoid paying huge trade taxes and make rich profits.
At the same time, after simple maintenance, the Wuguo warships moored in Kamikaze Port sailed out of the port, patrolling in the waters of Shengui Island, and levy high trade taxes on all the fleets of the British Empire. All British Empire fleets that do not cooperate and are unwilling to pay taxes will be hit by the fierce artillery fire of the Wuguo warships. , directly sink all the merchant ships and let the personnel of the merchant ship die in the cold sea.
Three days passed in a flash. Wu Xun, the highest officer of Shenfeng Port, led two relatives into the mansion where Ye Chen lived with a smile on his face and was warmly entertained by Ye Chen.
After a simple greeting, Ye Chen looked at Wu Xun with a smile and said, "Master Wucheng, I don't know why you came to me today. Isn't it so simple to just come to chat with me?"
"Ha ha, Your Majesty is joking! If there is nothing important, how dare I disturb your majesty and delay your majesty's affairs! That's your majesty, the emperor of our Hongwu Empire, invited your majesty to Kyoto to visit our Hongwu empire. I don't know what your majesty thinks? Are you willing to accept the invitation of His Majesty the Emperor of the Hongwu Empire?
Seeing Ye Chen enter the topic so directly, Wu Xun smiled, without any hesitation and hesitation, and said confidently.
"I used to be very interested in your Hongwu Empire. I can't refuse to go to Kyoto and visit your Hongwu Empire. How can I refuse!"
Hearing Wu Xun's words, Ye Chen responded without hesitation.
Ye Chen did not lie. After getting the strength of the Hongwu Empire from Song Yi and Conan, Ye Chen was full of interest in the Hongwu Empire and personally walked around the territory of the Hongwu Empire to see if the Hongwu Empire was as powerful as Song Yi and Conan said.
"In behalf of our Hongwu Empire, I would like to thank Your Majesty for accepting the invitation of our Hongwu Empire and visiting our Hongwu Empire. I hope your Majesty can deal with the matter at hand as soon as possible and go to Kyoto with me."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Wu Xun was very happy and said with a smile on his face.
"I have nothing to deal with. If the Lord Wucheng has no objection, we can leave for Kyoto tomorrow."
Hearing Wu Xun's words, Ye Chen smiled gently and said faintly.
"Okay, no problem! I will send someone to pick up Your Majesty tomorrow! If your majesty has nothing else to do, I will leave now and prepare to go to Kyoto tomorrow.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Wu Xun looked happy and said briskly. I don't know whether he was happy because Ye Chen accepted his invitation or because he was about to go to Kyoto.
"I have nothing else to do. If you have something to do, go ahead!"
Hearing Wu Xun's words, Ye Chen smiled and nodded gently.
