Liu Xie asked Li Fu to stay in Chang'an for a while, while he went to Chang'an Agricultural and Industrial University again.

"Your Majesty, Sinan has recovered!"

After Zhuge Liang left, Liu Ye undoubtedly became the leader of the University Hall.

And what the emperor required was not that difficult to make. Even if it corresponded to ancient books, the Si Nan could be restored quickly.

Guiguzi said: "When the people of Zheng go to get jade, they must carry a compass with them, so that they will not get lost."

The "Lun Heng Shi Ying Pian" says: "When the spoon of the Si Nan is thrown into the ground, its root points to the south."

As for the source of the raw material of the Sinan, magnetite, both "Shan Hai Jing" and "Lüshi Chunqiu" have records of it, and it is located in the Cishan Mountain in Handan today.

Therefore, Liu Ye went to get the stone from Cishan Mountain, and according to the emperor's instructions, he ground it into a needle shape that was easy to carry, and used the "Luxuan" method to indicate the north and south.

"With this in hand, shipping will surely prosper in the future."

Even when Li Fu crossed the Strait of Malacca and came to Dahan from the south, he still used the land as a reference.

It is obviously impossible to carry out ocean voyages in this way. At the same time, the climate at sea is changeable, and it is easy to lose direction once there are dark clouds and storms.

With this thing, although it is still not so accurate, it is enough for the Han people who will set sail in the future to find their direction in confusion.

As a result, Liu Ye was officially promoted to the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works and was awarded a title.

This move undoubtedly once again inspired the scholars in Chang'an!
Fame and wealth are often the best catalysts!
What's more, both the emperor and the court were encouraging of such things, which allowed the group of people with the highest comprehensive quality and wisdom in the world, who gathered around Chang'an at this time, to begin in-depth exploration.

The university, which originally seemed a little empty, was now filled with scholars. Even businessmen like Li Fu, who came from foreign countries, were drawn into it and became part of some kind of beginning.

At this time, Li Fu once again sighed at the openness and enthusiasm of the Han people.

"Chang'an is the beacon of civilization!"

He continued to record what he saw and heard silently, and by chance, Li Fu also bought a copy of "Ban Dingyuan's Demon Conquest".

After reading it, Li Fu was also shocked.

Because the legendary devil's cave at the end of the west is exactly where the Kushans are!

"Guilty! Guilty!"

Especially the fact that Ban Chao defeated the Kushan Empire was indeed recorded in history. For a time, the truth and falsehood made Li Fu a little confused.

"Is Kushan really a place of deep sin?"

Li Fu's state of mind changed drastically again with what happened in Chang'an.

"Your Majesty said that the Kushans were also descendants of the Chinese, but why did they become like that?"

After witnessing the prosperity and civilization of the Han Dynasty, a seed was silently planted in Li Fu's heart.

"I, Kushan, may become the second Han Dynasty!"

And after a few days, I was summoned by the emperor and received a compass from him. This feeling reached its peak!

"Kushan, how can you make something so exquisite?"

Although Li Fu knew that he was just a businessman and had no right to represent Kushan, he still bowed down and kowtowed before Liu Xie.

"The Kushans will forever submit to the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Xie obviously didn't take Li Fu's words to heart, but he still said to Li Fu happily: "Li Qing is thoughtful..."

……

……

Liu Xie brought a compass back to the palace, and the women in the palace were also very curious about it.

Cai Yan read the most books, and when she saw that it was always pointing to the south, she was immediately surprised and asked, "Could it be the legendary 'Sinan'?"

But Cai Yan soon realized another thing——

"It is recorded in the book that Chiyou created a thick fog, and Huangdi used the compass chariot to point the direction and broke Chiyou's army." "Your Majesty, are you going to start another war?"

Obviously, the news of the war in Jiangdong also reached Cai Yan's ears during this period, making Cai Yan a little worried.

"This item is not for war... Even if it is, it has nothing to do with the Han mainland."

Liu Xie placed the item in Cai Yan's hand and said, "It's just that in a few months, I will have to go out again."

"Is it to conquer my brother?"

Sun Shangxiang has now been taken into the harem. Although she has always been generous, she now timidly asks the emperor.

Upon hearing that there was a war in Jiangdong, Sun Quan's mother, Madam Wu, and Sun Shangxiang both came before the emperor to plead guilty. Even Sun Ce in the east submitted a document requesting punishment from the emperor.

Liu Xie naturally tried to comfort him and reassure him.

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was still worried about this matter, Liu Xie chuckled and said, "I won't go to Jiangdong in person for your brother."

"But the matter of closing the country in the east must be considered seriously."

Hearing that it was not a war, Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang were undoubtedly relieved.

Dong Bai, who was reading a storybook nearby, heard that Liu Xie was going to establish a kingdom, so he came over and asked, "Is it the same as Wansheng's Yong Kingdom?"

With the blessing of the Hehuang Valley and gold, Liu Wansheng's Yong State's development level has begun to move closer to the Central Plains without restriction.

Especially the large number of pastures in the south made Liu Wansheng's Yong State the largest meat production area in the Han Dynasty besides the Beiting Protectorate.

It can be said that the newly developed Yong State was already extremely rich.

Although the benefits obtained by the Han Dynasty itself were actually greater than those obtained by the Yong Kingdom, the development of the Yong Kingdom still exceeded everyone's expectations and became a legend in Chang'an.

Liu Wansheng was also very filial to his "eldest niece". He would send Dong Bai gifts during the holidays, and had already seduced Dong Bai's mind outside, making her want to go out and play.

"Like in Yong State? How is that possible?"

Liu Xie tapped Dong Bai's forehead with his finger and said, "Wansheng is a place I reserved specifically for him. Other places... even Yili, where Wenhe's fiefdom is located, are actually not as good as Wansheng's."

"Not to mention the wild lands in the east now, how can they compare to Yong State?"

"And there aren't many resources there. It's just by the sea, so you can eat abalone until you vomit and lobster until you're full. Uh..."

Liu Xie suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said.

really.

Dong Bai's hands tightly grasped Liu Xie's pants, his eyes widened, making it impossible for anyone to refuse...

"Um……"

Liu Xie thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Has Bai ever seen the sea?"

"no!"

"Want to see it?"

"miss you!"

"Okay, I'll take you with me this time."

Dong Bai was stunned for a long time, suddenly jumped up and screamed, then ran aimlessly in the palace.

"Your Majesty, will I become a burden to you?"

Although Cai Yan also wanted to go, she was more worried that she would become a burden to the emperor.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cai. This trip will definitely not delay official business."

"And you are clearly my helpers, when did you become a burden to me?"

Liu Xie stretched himself and said, "Let's take this opportunity to go outside and see the world!" (End of this chapter)
