Tyrant I am from MI9

Chapter 248

Knowing Qingxia's recent situation, it is not difficult to find four wandering foreigners who talk about God Jesus.Chu Li also promised to build a church for them as soon as they returned to Southern Chu, allowing them to preach in China. The four guys were moved to tears, wishing to cry to express their joy.While Qingxia was happy for them, she was also slightly disappointed. If so, then if she wanted to go to sea again in the future, they would not follow her.

Another two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the time to return to Chu was not far away.In the evening, Qing Xia personally cooked and cooked a table of Western food. Erics and the others almost swallowed their tongues in one gulp. Even Rhubarb, holding his round belly, comfortably Hiccup.

Ever since Rhubarb came back, he completely ignored Qing Xia, and never came back all day except when eating. I heard yesterday that it even went to court with Chu Li.

Qing Xia intentionally wins its heart, after eating, she took a bath for it, when she was drying its white hair with a fan, she suddenly heard a sound outside, she walked out slowly.

I saw Garifa and Erics surrounding an old court lady who was cleaning the floor, saying in broken Chinese, "Sister, we are not fan monks, we are God's messengers and spread the gospel, as long as you Believe in God, you will get the salvation of life and peace of mind, please believe us, we are entrusted by the Pope to go to the ocean to save your soul."

"Get up! Get up!" The old maid said angrily in a hurry, "Don't disturb my work, what kind of bullshit is God, is he as big as the Jade Emperor? If I get stuck here again, I'll go to the consul to file a complaint. Where did I come from?" With so many foreign monks, I don't know any rules."

"Lost lamb! Please don't abandon God's friendly hands extended to you. God tells us that we are all brothers and sisters who love each other... Ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stepped on the floor that the maid had just wiped, slipped and fell heavily on the ground.

Seeing Qingxia, she couldn't help but chuckle, her brows and eyes were curved, and just about to speak, the maid suddenly knelt on the ground as if she had seen a ghost, and shouted loudly: "See Your Majesty, I don't know your Majesty is here, I deserve to be punished." Doom."

At the door where the sunlight came in, the man was dressed in a dark green python robe, with a handsome face, sword eyebrows and star eyes, full of handsomeness and abundance.Da Huang lazily lay at his feet, desperately trying to jump up and bite the jade pendant hanging from his waist.

"Ah! Emperor Nanchu, hello, we are preaching to your court lady."

Garifa and Alex hurriedly saluted and said.

Chu Li nodded, and said to the court lady: "You don't need to do the work here, follow these two priests and become their disciples."

The palace maid hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Yes, this servant obeys."

The two of Gharifa were overjoyed immediately. They had been in China for many years, but half of their believers hadn't developed yet.Immediately, he dragged the palace maid down joyfully.

Chu Li walked slowly to the main hall. A well-behaved court lady had already offered refreshments. Chu Li sat down and didn't talk much, just drinking tea quietly.Qing Xia stood aside, couldn't find anything to say for a while, after thinking for a long time, seeing that Chu Li's tea bowl was empty, she stepped forward, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "You've been very busy recently. Bar."

"Well," Chu Li nodded, and said, "Someone in the south is instigating the people to rebel, and there are Japanese pirates in the east who are constantly sparing the border. Chu went, and there were people who wrote a letter agreeing to it, I was so pissed off."

This is the first time that Chu Li called himself "Zhen" in front of Qing Xia, just after he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a slip of the tongue, and quickly looked at Qing Xia.

Qing Xia didn't think much of it, sat down on a chair beside him, and said following his topic: "Japanese pirates? Japan?"

"Do you know Japan?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows, but after thinking about it, she didn't think it was surprising when she traveled all over the country. She suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I brought a good thing. Take a look." Said Go on, untied a long knife from his waist, handed it to Qing Xia, said: "Knowing that you are good at martial arts, I accidentally got a good knife that can cut iron like mud, I will give it to you."

Qing Xia took it over, pulled it out with a sound of swishing, squinted her eyes immediately, and saw the light in the room, the edge was exposed, the blade was thin and sharp, engraved with the fine lines of coiling dragons on it, lifelike, the cold light was sharp, it was really a good knife.

"Japanese sword?" Qing Xia was taken aback and murmured.

"Do you know?" Chu Li was overjoyed and said, "This was offered by the generals who suppressed bandits in the sea area. I saw that the blade was sharp, and it was many times better than ours, so I fumbled for the military to develop it. Come out. If every soldier of our Southern Chu can be equipped with this kind of weapon, we won’t be afraid of the mere Japanese pirates.”

After hearing this, Qing Xia smiled slightly and said, "Everyone in Southern Chu wears it, hehe, that's impossible."

Chu Li was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Why? Everyone in a small Japanese country can wear it, so why can't I go to court?"

Qing Xia caressed the blade and explained: "The forging technique of this kind of sword is not very difficult. It is called Baotou Steel. It requires a lot of fine steel and takes a long time. Moreover, most of the fine steel is produced in the Western Regions, and Xichuan is blocking it. , Nanchu is difficult to buy in large quantities, and the cost of fine steel is extremely high, and once damaged, it becomes a pile of scrap iron, which cannot be recycled and cannot make ends meet. It is really not a good deal. On the contrary, Japan is made of fine steel The place of origin, coupled with the fact that they have a small land with few people and a large number of regimes, and the two sides can dispatch thousands of people to a war is an earth-shattering event that needs to be recorded in the annals of history. Therefore, it is not too wasteful for everyone to wear this knife .”

Chu Li said: "How do you know Japan so well? Is their country really that small?"

Qing Xia nodded and said: "My life was lost there, how could I not understand?"

Chu Li frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Then who is your enemy? Can you still find it?"

Qing Xia smiled and said: "Do you still remember that I once said something to deceive people there in Penglai Valley? People can live so long, apart from drinking the elixir of Qin Shihuang."

Chu Li smiled and said, "Is there really no medicine for aging in this world?"

Qing Xia murmured: "If it was in the past, I can say with absolute certainty that there is no such thing. But now even the resurrection of the dead has happened to me. Anything, I believe that there is a possibility."

Chu Li said in a deep voice: "Borrowing the corpse to return the soul? I don't know if she died, if she will return to life, and where will the return be? Oh! I thought of it, most likely it is attached to your body and came back to life in your hometown. "

"No, if that's the case, it's really a bit troublesome."

"En?" Chu Li was taken aback for a moment, and said, "How do you say that?"

"In my previous life, someone cut off my head. If she went, wouldn't it be a little troublesome?"

Qing Xia said with a smile as if nothing had happened, but Chu Li froze, frowning, and stopped talking.Qing Xia frowned lightly, and said: "Actually, if you want to take over Dong Qi and rectify the coastal defenses, it's not impossible."

Chu Li raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said, "What's your opinion?"

"I can't talk about opinions, just some ideas." Qing Xia smiled lightly and said: "Since Emperor Wu of Qin, he built the Great Wall of the whole country into a line to resist the Huns in the north. Fishermen go fishing in the sea. Although the ban was slightly lifted in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, there are still restrictions because of the Japanese pirates. I think that the first task to stop the Japanese pirates is to open the sea ban, open commerce, train the navy, and build sea ships. With this Four items, the Japanese pirates will defeat themselves without attacking."

Chu Li frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Go on."

"The aspiration of the people in the world is nothing more than the word 'profit'. If the profit is prosperous, the bandits will become merchants, and if the profits are exhausted, the merchants will become bandits. Seventy-eight out of ten of the so-called pirates on the sea are coastal businessmen in disguise, not the real Japanese. Chinese people. Besides, before the sea ban, there were Japanese pirates, and Emperor Wu of Qin refused to eat because of choking. After the sea ban, the Japanese pirates not only did not become weaker, but became more rampant. No scruples. The Huaxia navy is poorly prepared and sloppy in training. When encountering Japanese pirates who are proficient in naval warfare, they can only run away. How can the Orientals not be arrogant?"

"Japan is a small country, and its products are not abundant. Tea, silk, porcelain, medicinal materials, etc. need to be purchased from China. After the sea ban, they had nowhere to buy, and they took risks and turned into bandits. In fact, it was also because of the lack of business. Besides, In the past 300 years, China has been fighting frequently, the people have been displaced, the national power is not strong, busy with internal strife, and the external vigilance is naturally reduced. Japan is small, but its shipbuilding industry is developed. Gunpowder technology is also ahead of us. Although there are no weapons of mass destruction, how do you know that after a hundred years, they will not attack our country with foreign guns and cannons? Therefore, if you want to develop, you must not close your eyes Ears, we must open our eyes and ears, and see the strengths and advantages of others, so that we can move forward."

Chu Li nodded slowly, and said slowly after listening to her words: "It is very difficult to open the sea ban and open trade."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning," Qing Xia said: "The obstruction of the pedantic old officials in the ruling and opposition parties, the prying eyes of the two northern countries, and the relentless instigation of the remnants of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, even if there are ways to deal with these, we still need to coordinate the coastal government and establish a maritime trade law. , Establishing a seaside camp, training the navy, mobilizing manpower, and establishing a diplomatic department are a myriad of tricks, and it is really not an overnight achievement, but as long as we persevere and move in this direction, sooner or later there will be a successful day."

Chu Li raised his head with a smile, and said: "Bodhisattva's means and the heart of a Bodhisattva may not be able to spread the rain. Asura's means and the heart of a Bodhisattva can instead help the world and relieve the people. Qing Xia, you wandering around like this is really a shame. It’s overkill.”
