Chapter 53
Chapter 14 Li Bao is back
“Subordinates just said it straight.” Chen Pingzuo said: “Subordinates feel that the title’lord’ is not suitable for you! There should be a more majestic and resounding title for you who are wise and martial arts!”
“Go on!” Yang Song looked at Chen Ping expressionlessly. He still wants to hear what the other party has to say!
“Yes, the subordinates think that the word’lord’ can only represent the leader of a place, and cannot reflect the prince of a country!” Chen Ping paused, and continued to maintain a pretentious posture: “I wonder if you will always be a place in the future. The collar is still quite the king of a country?”
“Not to mention your thoughts, just say that now the people are all over the world. The people love you and regard you as the Mingjun! The officials support you, I believe you can let them play their value, I believe you can bring the descendants of Yan and Huang in this place Revive the glory!”
“Even if it is not for yourself, for the sake of these thousands of people, you have to give them a statement!”
After Chen Ping finished speaking, he didn’t get up, and straightly maintained the salute posture of bending over and arching his hands, waiting for Yang Song’s hair to fall!
Yang Song felt very complicated when he heard these words! At first he thought that Chen Ping was for his own position and wanted to flatter himself. In the end, I didn’t expect it to be like this!
Chen Ping has said so much, but in fact it has one meaning, that is, as the leader, he should be more active, more ambitious and ambitious!
Although Yang Song made a speech when he was supposed to come to this world, he has always been on this three-acre land, showing no strong pioneering and enterprising spirit.
Although he and some officials know that progress is achieved step by step and cannot be done overnight, ordinary people don’t know it!
“I know what the sir meant, but for this one-third of acre, I think you are too decent!” Yang Song said his true inner thoughts!
Yang Song thinks that the current site and population are too small, and now that he is a king, he may not be laughed off by posterity.
“What you said is very true!” Chen Ping has been waiting for Yang Song’s anger, and he was mentally prepared, but he saw that this man behaved more wisely than he had expected!
“A corner of the land is called the king, and this place can be regarded as a corner of the land. Even if you call it a king, it is not a big problem. But according to what you just said, the people are scarce and the place to live is small. It is useless to call the king!
Chen Ping slowly said what he wanted to say: “Subordinates say, you can be called’jun’! Monarch, respect! Calling a king can show your status as a’monarch’, and second, it can also avoid the size and population of the land. Restrictions, moreover, can also show off national prestige to the outside world!”
“National prestige? Are we a country now?” Yang Song asked suspiciously.
“The country, the king is the people! If you have a king, you can be a country! But the current’country’ is a bit small!” Chen Ping said this, and suggested to Yang Song: “You can choose a country title to determine the throne. !”
“Well, you’re all up to this point, you will mention it again when you wait for the meeting at the end of the month!” Yang Song agreed with his suggestion.
Yang Song actually feels that the title ‘lord’ is not very good. He doesn’t want to be called emperor, but feels that this title seems to be too westernized and does not reflect the characteristics of Chinese culture!
Especially Chen Ping said, how should I call my own power when communicating with foreign countries in the future?
think about it. On the battlefield, the two armies confronted each other, and the two sides shouted ruthlessly, what is your lord, what is our territory, it is too lacking in style, not formal at all.
The establishment of a country can not only find a common goal for the people to maintain, but also standardize the system and system, which is conducive to the unity of the people and the development of power!

Yang Song opens the small map every day and looks at a small dot in the northeast corner, which is the location of the territory’s naval fleet!
This little spot is now returning to the original road, and there is an island at the end of their exploration, which looks quite big. This time it should have found a new island, three to four hundred kilometers away from the territory.
Li Bao’s fleet is a small frigate-class warship and cannot sail far, so it has been cruising within a few hundred kilometers of the territory. The plan to explore along the coastline could not be implemented because of the inability to provide supplies.
But there is also a good thing, that is, all the islands within 300 kilometers outside the navy town have been explored, and several volcanic islands have been found, and there is even a Guano island.
With this Guano Island, there will be no worries about the source of the gunpowder raw materials in the territory in the future.
Bird droppings are rich in potassium nitrate, which is also one of the most important raw materials for black powder. The so-called nitrate in the so-called nitrate, nitrate, and nitrate refers to potassium nitrate!
And there are so many volcanic islands in the sea, and the sulfur of black powder is a source. Needless to say, charcoal has never been lacking!
The most important thing is that there is the perfect proportion of black powder formula in the library. Yang Song was more curious about this and went to see it. The formula is very simple, that is, a combination of 15 parts nitrate, 3 parts carbon, and 2 parts sulfur!
It is precisely because these precious islands have been found on the sea that Yang Song allows Li Bao to explore the sea for a long time, hoping that he can find more resources on the sea!
After Li Bao returned this time, Yang Song was not going to let him continue. After such a long time of exploration, there was nothing to look for in the surrounding seas. No matter how far away, these three boats could not make it through. !
After returning, let the officers and soldiers of the entire fleet repair for a period of time. After the two transport ships in the naval town such as UU Reading www.uukānshu.com are built, they will explore north along the coastline and find the local civilization on the coastline!
Compared to land, sea transportation is much faster and more convenient, but the technical threshold is much higher!
Not to mention whether a qualified sea-going vessel can be built, it is said that navigational knowledge and instruments such as personnel selection, maritime positioning, and direction determination require long-term accumulation, and the accumulation of such knowledge requires sufficient national strength for long-term support.
Navigation is a matter of burning money. If there is no sea trade to fill the gap in this area, then no force can persist for a long time!
Fortunately, these three frigate-class sailing warships were not built by the territory itself, which saved a lot of cost!
You know, according to the person in charge of shipbuilding in Navy Town, building a high-quality warship with such system rewards is enough to bankrupt the current territory’s finances!
Not to mention the construction of three more ships, the century-old navy is not just talking about it!
…
“Lord, his subordinates have returned from the voyage and come to report on their work. Please tell me what to do next?” Yang Song met Li Bao who came to report on his work in the living room.
“Leader Li has worked hard, don’t worry about anything, listen to me first!” Yang Song said diligently to Li Bao.
“I will take a rest for a while when I come back! I believe you have seen it when you come back. The two sea ships in the dock will be built soon!”
Li Bao nodded definitively, and Yang Song continued: “When the two sea ships are built, you will bring enough supplies to go north and explore the local forces along the coast.”
This is Yang Song’s plan to open up a trade route by land at the same time he plans to open a trade route by sea! One land and one sea, two-pronged approach!
