King Leng Chasing His Wife: The Maid in the Tongfang Runs With the Ball

Chapter 709
Lin Jiumian continued to ask: "When did you start this plan? What did you do for it?"

Langston raised his voice and replied, "We have been planning this plan for more than 100 years."

"More than 100 years ago, a general of the empire and his men boarded a ship when they were preparing to go abroad for conquest. As a result, they were swept into this country by storm."

"When they got off the boat, they found that the land here was very fertile."

"The people here are doing well, and the land is well-seasoned and suitable for human habitation."

"It's not like our empire, which is often affected by typhoons, earthquakes and various disasters."

"So that our people are often hungry for three meals."

"At that time, the people of the empire proposed to move the people to this country, but there is a very, very terrible sea between the two countries."

"The sea is very stormy. When we sent ships over several times, we built 10 warships, and only one could arrive smoothly."

"There will be sea monsters attacking along the way."

"The sea has become a natural barrier for this country. In desperation, we can only bring some items from overseas to sell here."

"Originally, things that could only be sold for one or two copper coins at our place can be sold for more than a dozen, 20 taels of silver when we arrive here."

"The ships that came over took the silver back and used it to build our country. They also bought a lot of copper and iron to bring back, which can be forged into sharp weapons."

"That's why the empire has such a plan."

"This plan is named the Centennial Plan."

"Calculating the time now, the century-old plan has come to the end. We have built tens of thousands of warships, just waiting to cross the ocean."

"Even if some of them are attacked by sea monsters and wind waves halfway, which will cause us to lose some ships and soldiers, most of the rest will remain."

"Of course, the most important thing is that we have developed gunpowder."

"The gunpowder can be used on soldiers, and it can also be used to arm warships. This will allow us to go forward."

Lin Jiumian took a deep breath when he heard this.

Sure enough, as she guessed, firearms have been developed overseas.

This is indeed not good news, it is too passive for them.

She sighed secretly, and continued to ask:

"Since you have a hundred-year plan, what are your hundred-year plans? Tell me briefly."

Lance seemed a little repulsed and struggling not to speak.

Seeing this, Lin Jiumian suddenly took out a small bell and tapped lightly on his ear.

The tapping is very rhythmic.

This rhythm seemed to have a strange rhythm, which made Lance's struggle slowly calm down.

After a long time, the painful look on his face disappeared.

He began to talk about each other again.

"The first part of the hundred-year plan is to send people here to gradually become familiar with the world. Then develop more believers locally..."

Lance roughly talked about what Lin Jiumian had learned before, and also made some minor additions.

Lin Jiumian learned through his telling: It turned out that it was not just about attracting many people to join the Holy Land.

Even now, many shops in various cities have been acquired by Holy Land.

These shops will pay a certain tax, and the money will be used for capital turnover in the Holy Land.

But in fact, after the money was collected, all of it was exchanged into copper and iron, and then shipped abroad.

Then turn it into the sharpest weapon, and wait to come back to attack them in the future.
