Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

Kankan hummed, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Master, do you want to make some arrangements for Senior Sister Shan?"

"......" Zhu Yuyan's eyes were complicated: "She...you decide for yourself, she may not appreciate it."

Wan Wan smiled and said, "Even if she doesn't appreciate it, she should at least consider Wan Jing, right? With the world in such a state, can the Dongming Sect really stay out of it?"

Actually, Daqian currently doesn't pay much attention to overseas, and its development of the ocean is also very limited. The Dongming faction is a rare independent force with strong financial resources, advanced fleet technology, and controls the trade of elite soldiers and weapons in the Sui Dynasty. It is quite powerful. If it can be absorbed, it will be of some help to Daqian's shipbuilding industry and the opening of overseas routes.

Although not necessary...

After all, as long as Daqian wants, the ocean area may not be impossible to develop. It's just that the country's territory is extremely large at the moment, and the utilization rate of land is far from saturated. Naturally, there is no need to turn to the development of the ocean. But if the support in these areas can be slightly increased, it would be a good thing, not to mention that Senior Sister Shangdan and the others can be paid a little more attention.

After all, she has a very close relationship with her master, so she doesn't mind taking extra care of him.

Zhu Yuyan didn't say anything, but just nodded in approval.

His expression was somewhat gloomy.

At this moment, she let go of her obsession with power. Looking back on many things in the past, her mentality inevitably underwent a huge change.

What I did back then caused my only biological daughter to leave in anger. Looking back on it now, I feel more and more regretful.

Chapter 611: Conversation! Year 5 of Daqian! Shan Wanjing!

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Seeing Qianqian coming back, Fang Han smiled and asked, "Is everything settled?"

"Hmm~" Wan Wan nodded, came to sit next to Fang Han, looked around, and asked curiously: "Sister Rong and the others didn't come today?"

Fang Han: "They were too tired yesterday and are resting now."

"It seems like my sisters have been working hard too~" Wan Wan blinked, her eyes flickering with a look of sudden realization. "Sir, Wan Wan can help share some of the burden with Sister Rong and the others."

Fang Han looked at her with a smile: "How do you want to share the burden?"

"Of course, this is how we share..."

After a long time, Kankan pursed her lips, gently wiped the corners of her lips with her bare hands, and after cleaning them a little, she returned to Fang Han. As soon as she sat down, she was hugged in his arms.

She couldn't help but feel a little angry, but she also sat down obediently, adjusted her skirt, thought for a moment, and said softly: "Sir, my master's affairs have been settled. He lives in my Chengxiang Palace. Can I meet him in a few days?"

Fang Han hummed: "Since he is your master, it is indeed time to meet him, but there should be more than just one thing you want to talk about, right?"

"I really can't hide anything from you, sir..." Kankan stuck out her tongue and briefly explained the Dongming Sect's affairs before adding, "I was thinking that Daqian isn't developing its shipbuilding industry much right now. If we could absorb the Dongming Sect and gain access to their shipbuilding and navigation technology, it would be of considerable benefit."

Fang Han pondered for a moment after hearing this, then nodded slightly: "This aspect is indeed Daqian's relative weakness. Then let's do as you wish."

It’s not that Daqian didn’t develop the shipping industry at all.

In fact, not only does it exist, but it is also very prosperous.

Especially the inland shipping industry.

Large, medium, and small water conservancy projects were extensively built across the country, along with the construction of canals and the reorganization of the water transport system.

The governance of these aspects has greatly boosted the development of the inland shipping industry!

The offshore shipping industry, although slightly inferior, is equally strong.

Just to say that in the past, most of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands of Lingjiu Palace were overseas forces. Since they were located overseas, the shipping industry was naturally the top priority.

This part of the foundation merges with private industries.

After the founding of the Daqian State, it developed more vigorously.

only......

This type of shipping industry tends to develop along the coast.

In terms of offshore shipping, on the contrary, it is not outstanding and its development is limited.

This is also the relative weakness in Daqian's shipbuilding industry.

The territory is too vast and the resources are too abundant. At present, we are already busy developing the land alone, and offshore development is just a superficial effort. Naturally, we do not have much energy to develop deep-sea shipping industry, open up ocean routes, and develop marine resources.

certainly.....

Fang Han is well aware of the importance of the ocean.

We didn't pay much attention to it before. We just planned to develop the land first, and then gradually involve the ocean when the time is right.

However, it would naturally be a good thing if the development of the offshore shipping industry could be accelerated at this moment.

He supports Kankan's proposal.

As for the Dongming Sect, the strength shown in the original novel is indeed the best in the world in terms of shipbuilding technology and navigation technology.

Absorbing them will have a significant promoting effect on the development of Daqian's shipping, fishery and marine fields.

Kanan smiled and said hello, and the two of them didn't talk about it anymore.

Ultimately, it's not a big deal.

The kind where success or failure doesn’t even matter.

The existence of the Dongming Sect will only speed up the development of Daqian's shipping industry a little bit. If there is no Dongming Sect, it doesn't matter either, the impact will not be significant.

After roughly reviewing the memorial, the work was quickly completed.

At this stage, Fang Han came to the Yangxin Palace only to control the general direction of national policies and guidelines, and to understand the situation and progress of the areas under his jurisdiction. He basically ignored other matters and completely delegated them to the various central departments of Daqian for handling.

From initially handling state affairs every day, to now, it is only five or six times a month.

However, his authority was not diminished in the slightest, but became even more powerful.

Most of the fourth year since the founding of Daqian has passed. After several years of governance, the ruling power and control over the local area has been increasing day by day.

The surrounding territories that had recently been annexed also quickly got back on track...

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and time slowly came to the fifth year of Daqian.

Overseas Ryukyu.

Dongming resident station.

A beautiful woman with noble temperament and enchanting beauty was sitting upright, looking a little dazed and silent.

"mother."

At this moment, a young woman with fair skin and an appearance that was about 60% similar to the beautiful woman walked in. She had no makeup on her face, but she was naturally beautiful, with a quiet and cold beauty. However, when she faced her mother, her beauty inevitably melted away.

"Wanjing..." Shan Meixian came back to her senses, looked at her daughter, and whispered, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that mother has been staying indoors lately. I'm a little worried that something might have happened." Shan Wanjing said, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the letter on the table. She walked forward curiously and wanted to take a closer look: "This is..."

Shan Meixian frowned slightly, stretched out her hand, and the letter instantly rolled back into her hand.

"Mom?" Shan Wanjing was stunned and withdrew her hand helplessly: "I didn't know that I couldn't watch this. I'm sorry..."

"No problem." Shan Meixian touched the letter and was silent for a long time. Seeing her daughter's worried face, she suddenly sighed: "Wanjing, I have something to ask you. Please answer me truthfully."

"Mom? What's the matter?" Shan Wanjing didn't understand, but she felt a little relieved. It seemed that her mother was not too angry. She didn't know what was in the letter that made her mother so anxious.

Shan Meixian pondered and said, "Are you willing to stay overseas for the rest of your life, or stay here?"

Shan Wanjing was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that? Can't we go to the Central Plains in the future?"

"It's okay now, but I can't say for sure in the future." Shan Meixian shook her head and gave a vague answer. Her eyes became serious again and she looked at Shan Wanjing: "Think about it carefully before answering."

Chapter 612: Mother and Daughter Conversation! A More Direct Choice!

Shan Wanjing saw Shan Meixian's serious words and couldn't help but think about it seriously. After a while, she hesitated and said, "I can't say for sure whether I'm willing or not, but wherever mother goes, daughter will naturally go!"

As he spoke, he looked at Shan Meixian hesitantly: "Mom, is there something wrong with the business in Zhongyuan? Or is there another reason..."

Although the Dongming Sect is located overseas, it controls extremely mature sea routes. Relying on the world-leading shipbuilding and navigation technology, it not only has business dealings with overseas countries, but also has close ties with various forces in the Central Plains of the Sui Dynasty. It has elite soldiers and weapons sold all over the world, and its wealth is huge enough to rival a country!

If you look closely, the influence is astonishing!

Logically speaking, it is impossible to cut off contact with the Central Plains under any circumstances.

This accounts for a large share of Dongming Sect's business.

If you give up, the loss will be immeasurable!

Thinking of this, Shan Wanjing couldn't help but show worry on her face.

"Don't worry too much, there's no problem with the business." Shan Meixian said softly, paused for a moment, and continued: "But as I said before, there are no problems now, but it doesn't mean there won't be problems in the future. Chaos will soon break out in the Great Sui Dynasty."

Shan Wanjing became even more confused after hearing this, and found it difficult to understand: "With the chaos in the Sui Dynasty, shouldn't our business be better?"

She doesn't like turmoil.

But she knew that unrest would bring huge benefits to the Dongming Sect.

At times like this, the Dongming Sect's arms trade would always increase significantly.

But...what does this have to do with them not being able to go to the Central Plains?

Although once chaos breaks out and order collapses, it will be extremely detrimental to commercial transactions, but their Dongming faction will undoubtedly be invincible thanks to its advantageous ships and elite water soldiers.

In the past, she had followed her mother on business trips, and had always been able to overcome all kinds of dangers she encountered. No matter how difficult the situation was, she never gave up on the trade route. Instead, she firmly grasped the opportunities and gained a lot of benefits. Why did her mother decide not to set foot in the Central Plains this time?

Shan Meixian shook her head: "That's true in the short term, but not necessarily in the future."

Seeing that Shan Wanjing was getting more and more confused, Shan Meixian sighed and said, "You don't have to worry about business matters. Just focus on the question that mother just asked."

Shan Wanjing said "oh" and felt a little depressed.

She never had a say in this major matter...

However, the same answer was given to Shan Meixian's question.

She had lived on the sea with her mother since she was a child and traveled around everywhere. Although she liked the scenery of the Central Plains, she felt it was a pity that she could not go there in the future, but she did not have to worry too much about how to make a choice.

Shan Meixian was not very satisfied with this answer: "Don't worry about my question. I just want to ask you, are you willing to stay overseas forever?"

"this......"

Shan Wanjing felt a little flustered when she heard this. If she was honest, she was naturally not willing to do so, but Shan Meixian's words inevitably made her suspicious.

No need to think about it... What does this mean?

Is my mother going to separate from her?

Thinking of this, she quickly said: "My daughter doesn't want to go anywhere, she just wants to stay here!"

Shan Meixian was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "It seems you're unwilling... Well, overseas may sound nice, but it's really boring. It's normal for a little girl like you to yearn for the Central Plains."

"Mother..." Shan Wanjing was stunned. Just as she was about to say no, Shan Meixian stopped her: "How could you hide your thoughts from me? Don't say anything first, just listen to me."

Shan Wanjing stopped talking immediately.

Shan Meixian pondered for a moment and said, "If you stay here, I will definitely find a marriage for you later. You should know who it is."

"..."

Shan Wanjing lowered her head.

She naturally knew how the marriage was arranged.

It was none other than Shang Ming, who was also from the Dongming School.

However, she was very opposed to such a marriage, so she never agreed to it. She and her mother often had some unpleasantness over this matter.

Shan Meixian glanced at her daughter and said, "I know you've always been reluctant to accept this marriage, but you must understand that our roots in the Dongming Sect are somewhat shallow. We don't have any direct descendants to rely on. I'm here to protect you, but if I'm gone, who will protect you in the future? Can you convince others with your status as the Young Master of the Dongming Sect? Can you hold on to this position?"

Although, since joining the Dongming Sect, she has conquered everyone with her martial arts and abilities, and developed the Dongming Sect from an ordinary overseas sect into the current overlord with astonishing influence on the sea, but in the final analysis, the problem of shallow foundation has always existed.

She has very few direct descendants that she can truly rely on.

It’s not that the other people in the sect don’t respect her, but she still has such prestige while she is in power. But when her daughter takes over, will such prestige and power still exist?

Hard to say.

So she has to plan ahead.
