Chapter 669: The Retrograde

The world of the future.

At least the world landscape for the next few hundred years.

Will be the era of navies.

Walking along the Silk Road, Zheng Yue Ru thought as much.

Therefore.

She set out in person this time, heading for the Putu Kingdom.

The Putu Kingdom is not only called the "graveyard of empires," but also the corridor of the world.

What does this mean?

Whoever can seize this corridor controls the passage between the Asian and European continents.

And the Putu Dynasty at this time is at its greatest territorial extent. Unlike in her past life, where it had shrunk into an inland country, the Putu at this time possesses a very important port. Putu Port.

It is just that in Liu Zheng's past life, due to various historical reasons, that port became the territory of Pakistan.

As a port that can drive straight into the Central Asia region.

Putu Port can certainly be called important.

This time, Zheng Yue Ru brought these dozen Horse Carriages of pure gold and silver, as well as finished Poppy and Poppy seeds.

There is only one goal.

Take Putu Port, or at least take half the management rights of Putu Port.

The Putu Dynasty at this time is still bouncing around in the mountains and deserts, not realizing the importance of the port at all. Britain and the Netherlands of the European continent have not yet reached their hands over here.

This is a great opportunity for Liu Zheng.

In the words of the Young Master, only by occupying as many ports and docks as possible will one possess more of the future. Only then can one grasp more initiative.

"General, shall we take a break?"

The further west they went, the hotter the weather became. In the end, they could only choose to travel in the early morning, rest at noon and in the afternoon, and travel again at dusk. Zheng Yue Ru's entire person had been tanned a shade darker. She took the water bag from the little sister beside her, laughed and said, "I, General Zheng, am just a life of toil; where would I find the time to rest?"

The maps along the way need to be drawn.

Of course, there are professionals in the team. But Zheng Yue Ru is not at ease if she does not check.

Braving the scorching sun, she walked for several miles before seeing the masters who were surveying the terrain ahead.

"General Zheng!"

"Hard work, General!"

Zheng Yue Ru sent someone to bring water over and laughed, "It is you who are working hard. Remember, whether it is the terrain and landforms, mountains and rivers, weather, or land crops, everything should be recorded clearly."

"Yes!"

The group responded with a roar.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, a scream rang out over there.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

……

Liu Zheng's words left Tie Mucheng deep in thought.

Cavalry will no longer be an existence one can rely on to gallop across the world.

If these words were said by someone else, they would surely cause everyone to sneer.

However, the one saying this is Liu Zheng!

He is not a person who shoots without a target.

Everything he has predicted seems to come true. Although it feels somewhat absurd, Tie Mucheng feels that the world Liu Zheng described is truly somewhat yearning. It even holds more attraction to him at this moment than the Longyan Central Plains. If the outside world is truly that wonderful, then what is Longyan?

Of course.

He is also pondering at the same time.

What is the meaning of Liu Zheng telling him these things?

Does he truly want to protect Longyan?

Or is it that……

His vision and ambition have never been limited to Longyan?

Does he have his sights set on the entire world?

Thinking of this, Tie Mucheng felt his whole body tremble.

After saying this, Liu Zheng said nothing more.

He left the space for thought to Tie Mucheng. He believes that Tie Mucheng is a smart person.

The land of Liaodong.

Ports.

If Tie Mucheng is truly an ambitious ruler, how could he miss those ports in East Asia and Southeast Asia?

That Wa country would be the first to bear the brunt……

The large team continued to march.

What surprised Liu Zheng was that when they had been marching for half a month, the further north they went, the more the common people along the way showed respect for this team.

From being ignored at the beginning.

It became people gathering to welcome them along the road and see them off along the road.

Liu Zheng suddenly realized something.

For these non-Capital cities in the north, food has always been a big problem. Especially with the thousands of years of stability in the Longyan Dynasty, the population has grown rapidly, and coupled with the Longyan Dynasty's policy of closing the country, the food gap is extremely large.

What to do without food?

The thinking of farmers is just this simple.

Land reclamation!

Reclaiming land and establishing agricultural colonies!

And the wave that Liu Zheng has stirred up at this moment is to go to Liaodong for land reclamation! What a vision this is, what a domineering spirit this is!

The farmers are expressing their gratitude to Vice Minister Liu in various ways.

Bringing water, bringing dry rations, bringing watermelons, bringing apples...

This kind of enthusiasm makes even Liu Zheng feel a bit overwhelmed.

"Vice Minister Liu, the common people will not forget you!"

"Vice Minister Liu, don't make things too hard on yourself!"

"If it really doesn't work out, just come back! Oh, children..."

These simple, honest people speak words that make one shed tears upon hearing them.

This long procession is not going away to enjoy themselves, but to help the farmers reclaim land! It is so they can have enough to eat! These farmers do not understand Heart Learning, do not understand political struggles, and do not understand the Bitter Remonstrance of the succession. They only know that Vice Minister Liu is a good man. A good man who keeps the common people of the world in his heart.

That is enough.

Excessive enthusiasm is hard to refuse.

In the end, Liu Zheng decides to take the procession along a more remote path.

The common people have tears in their eyes.

Watching the sturdy backs of these people moving against the current.

Smiling while moving against the current, unyielding and indomitable.

Thinking of the distance, the frost and wind of the past carved like a blade.

I want to rely on this light in the Dark Night to return it to gaze upon the long song of the melody.

Treading the river of life, not in vain for the infatuation, the loneliness of walking alone.

The weary pride, how much is left?

If the heart is like a quagmire, who would know?

The gaze of the entire Longyan once again follows Vice Minister Liu, looking toward the land of Liaodong.

This time.

What kind of storm will this Vice Minister Liu, who has always liked to move against the current, stir up in the land of Liaodong, a place that makes everyone change color at the mere mention of its name?
