Chapter 262 They threw the person into the sea.
Chaochao was a little excited. Ashan helped her calculate that, in addition to today's significant increase, the amount had also increased in the past two days due to the charity foundation and Daqi Orphanage, totaling more than 37,000.

"Dad, Ah Shan said that the energy is stable now and it won't shut down anymore. Once it reaches 50,000 energy points, it will be able to predict danger within a certain range."

He Nanzhou's eyes lit up, "Fifty thousand energy points?"

"Correct."

He Nanzhou did some mental calculations and figured he should be close to 50,000 soon.

Especially in orphanages and charitable foundations, even if the increase in orphanages is slow, the number of people being taken in by Daqi continues to rise, so the increase will be slow and gradual.

As for the charitable foundation, it should receive a large amount of energy in a few days.

A while ago, the Chaoyang Charity Foundation provided information that helped the police dismantle a human trafficking ring, rescuing many women and children. They even followed the trail to find the original victims who had been sold by the traffickers. The Chaoyang Charity Foundation is responsible for the resettlement and care of these individuals. Once everything settles down, Chaoyang's influence will undoubtedly increase significantly.

Thinking of this, He Nanzhou slowly exhaled, patted Chaochao's head, and the little girl looked up and smiled very happily.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Sun Huanyu's voice rang out, "Brother He, how is Chaochao? Is she alright?"

"It's nothing." He Nanzhou opened the door to the private room and led Chaochao out.

As soon as Chaochao followed the two onto the deck, she discovered that the yacht was already moving forward.

She gazed into the distance through the railing, her mouth slightly agape. This was the sea, so beautiful, stretching as far as the eye could see, shimmering in the sunlight.

He Nanzhou simply picked her up. As his gaze rose, Chaochao's eyes brightened even more. Surrounded by the ocean and listening to the sounds of the sea breeze and waves, she felt so small. She realized that seeing the ocean was such a breathtaking experience.

At this moment, seeing such a vast and clear scene, even the people of Daqi couldn't help but hold their breath.

Emperor Jingxuan couldn't help but move closer, suddenly feeling an urge to go out to sea as well.

Moreover, he discovered that the yacht Chaochao and the others were on was very fast, and although it looked very bulky, it didn't seem to have any effect.

More importantly, "They have no sails! Nor do they need oars."

From the moment the yacht appeared, the Fujian shipping magnate's family kept their eyes fixed on the sky.

How could they not have sails? They're sailing on the open sea; a slight misstep could send them drowning.

Some speculated, "Could it be like the cars of later generations, able to move forward without horse-drawn carriages, and at a very high speed?"

"Cars? Yes, they have the parts to drive cars, so they must also have the parts to drive ships."

The shipping magnates couldn't help but show envy. If they had such high-tech equipment as in later generations, they could definitely build unique, fast, and incredibly sturdy ships.

Miss Jane is right, Daqi should develop its technology.

Emperor Jingxuan and many court officials were also aware of this problem.

Emperor Jingxuan took a deep breath. "Yes, technology is indeed needed. If the Great Qi also had ships that could automatically propel themselves forward, it would save manpower and make it much easier and faster to find high-yield grains overseas." He decided that not only would the civil service examinations include minor skills like arithmetic, but he would also vigorously support these technologies and value the talent in them.

Under the sky, some clever craftsmen were already pondering how to make the ships move faster and more steadily.

However, most ordinary people, just like every other day, simply watched the spectacle.

What's even more amazing to them is the vast and boundless sea.

Lin Lan couldn't help but sigh, "When we came to Beijing by boat before, we thought we were worldly people. We had traveled by boat across the river and seen the differences between various towns along the way. I never imagined that this was what it truly meant to see the world."

Grandma Zhou laughed, "We've seen the sea by following Chaochao, haven't we?" She was very satisfied. "This old woman has stayed in Shangliu Village her whole life. I've never even seen a slightly large river, let alone the sea. I never thought that in my old age I would be able to leave Huaiping County and see the prosperity of the capital. Now, I've even seen what the sea is like. I can truly die without regrets."

Aren't others feeling the same way?
Aunt Yu also said, "After we return to Shangliu Village, I will send my son and daughter to school. Even if they can't take the imperial examinations in the future, it will still be good for them to travel around the country."

“Me too,” the others chimed in.

But when the topic of returning to Shangliu Village came up, the group suddenly looked at each other in bewilderment.

They should have left long ago, but because of A-Shan's filming, they stayed. After that, Emperor Jingxuan was probably too busy and forgot about it, so they are now unsure when they can leave.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw the yacht in the sky suddenly stop.

Although it seems like we haven't walked very far, we are still quite a distance from the coast. At this moment, all we can see in all directions is the vast ocean.

Chaochao was also surprised, "Aren't you leaving?"

Sun Huanyu checked the time. "It should be time for the proposal soon. Let's go check out the front deck."

"It's a proposal!" Chaochao's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she ran forward.

The front deck was full of people, all facing the sea, and they didn't see He Nanzhou and his two companions coming over.

Sun Huanyu walked up behind Song Fei, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Has it started? How does Arui plan to propose?"

Song Fei turned his head, greeted He Nanzhou first, then waved to Chaochao with a smile, and finally answered Sun Huanyu's question.

He shrugged. "I don't know. According to Arui, the proposal was discussed with his girlfriend's sister and arranged according to his girlfriend's preferences. To maintain the mystery, it hasn't been announced yet. We'll find out soon."

Sun Huanyu clicked his tongue twice. "Quite a few tricks up your sleeve." He looked around. "Where's Arui?"

"I didn't see him. He's probably getting things ready. His girlfriend is ahead of him, though."

Chaochao looked in the direction he was pointing and indeed saw a very pretty woman, but it was too dangerous for her to be standing so far in front of him.

She leaned close to Sun Huanyu's ear and whispered, "Uncle Sun, that sister..."

Before he could finish speaking, he looked in astonishment at the two people next to the woman, suddenly grabbed her hands and feet, lifted her up, and threw her directly into the sea.
