C50 (1/2)

The most notable achievement of the Great Celestial Emperor was that his books were written in the same language and he divided the world into eighteen prefectures.

The eighteen prefectures were vast and it was difficult for ordinary people to see their true appearance even if they were poor.

However, in order to clear the distance between the north and south and open up the trade between the north and the south, Emperor Hongwu had ordered the opening of the canal and the opening of the canal throughout the 18 prefectures.

The construction of the canal was not a cruel government, on the contrary, it had created many employment opportunities. The people who built the canal for the imperial government and had money to eat, naturally they would feel at ease, they would not be in turmoil, and in the process of excavating the canal, if there were mountains or valleys blocking the way, experts would often take action, use their magical powers, move the mountain range, and paddle the river.

This world was ultimately the world of martial artists. Lu Chengjiang's methods were nothing in the eyes of the strong.

The canal connected the eighteen states from north to south. It connected the dry land with water conservancy. It eliminated floods and floods, made profits for the people, cultivated and saved the harvest. The merchants of the four sides could also trade and make all the families live, and everyone praised and praised the imperial court.

He, Li Muyue, and Long Hetian had an agreement that they would take the boat to Liangzhou by water. At this moment, Li Muyue and the others hadn't arrived yet, so as he watched the boat sail past, he gradually began to feel touched.

He had never seen the rich and busy canal port before. Now that he had seen it, he truly realized that his father's martial arts and culture had surpassed all previous dynasties in one fell swoop. No one could compare to him.

The canal was hundreds of miles wide, with no end in sight. The depth of the water was incalculable, even ships with a depth of 1000 feet could pass through easily. Waves crashed against both sides of the river, billowing towards the east, causing people's minds to widen.

Even Hong Yu couldn't help but ask himself, was this really something a human could do?

Above the canal, thousands of sails were standing, ships were rushing about, fishermen were sailing on their boats, hundreds of feet of merchant ships were docking, and there were even ships of divine might that were eating water of millions of stones rushing up the river. This was the official ship of the imperial court that was in charge of the security of the canal; it was awe-inspiring and intimidating.

However, the most shocking was the Wyrm Armor Break Ship, it was a ferocious looking ship with a sharp collision angle in the front, a black luster, it let people immediately know that this ship was made of steel, this ship was a new product invented by the Divine Arts Academy, it had a variety of mysterious runes engraved on it, it had the 'water repelling' effect, it was able to penetrate deep into the water and avoid frightening waves, over a hundred Spirit realm experts, using Earth Termination Qi, urging gears, generating power, moving sails, faster than the sea Wyrm Dragon, able to go against the sun.

This was the imperial court's order to deliver the memorial post, and along the canal, the decree could be accurately transmitted to the various states.

This was the benefit of transportation and water conservancy. If one took the land route, then it would cause the emperor to be high in heaven and the emperor to be far away, and the various states would suffer from the disadvantages of their own government. But since Emperor Hongwu's dynasty passed through the canal, the imperial power would leave the village.

Merchants from all over were gathering at the capital city. Countless boxes were being removed from the cargo ships on the docks. Teams of small officials were checking the goods on the docks to maintain order, making them seem busy and harmonious.

In the past, the canals and waterways were under the control of the river pirates and other gangs, but now the Imperial Court had set up a ”Division of Transport” specifically to maintain the security of the canals and control the flow of goods from the wharves. Not only were the river pirates on the water gone, they were exterminated one by one, and even the gang that was trying to squeeze the livelihood of the coolies on the wharves were uprooted.

”Indeed, the world has been brought into order by Father. The yamen authorities have their own duties, and the destiny of the country has also increased day by day.”

However, in the current world, everyone had food and food to eat, and everyone had new clothes to wear. It was not because of the beauty and peace of the world, but because of this fact, he had no choice but to admit that the Hongwu Emperor was truly the emperor of an ancient country, and that there was something special about the way of governing a country.

However, no matter how much he tried, Hong Yu still didn't have the slightest bit of good will towards Emperor Hongwu. The saying 'The Royal Family has no relatives' was vividly conveyed to him; not only was he killed by his mother, he was also bullied and scolded since he was young. He was forced to pretend to be a fool for five years.

However, right now, Hong Yu was also deep in thought. If there came a day when he possessed a profound strength, would he really beat this emperor from ancient times down to the mortal world and let him repent in front of his mother's soul for the rest of his life?

Hong Yu was filled with confidence in himself. Even if his opponent was his own father, even if his goal was the almighty and godlike Emperor Eternal Heaven, rich and powerful throughout the world, he still had full confidence that he could defeat him.

This was because he had trillions of golden lances, a Heaven and Earth Talisman, and the mother of all talismans — the Cessation Talisman!

It was said that this talisman was essential for a martial artist to become a god. It represented the love and talent of the heaven and earth.

However, he was deep in thought. Was it really possible for the world to separate from this Eternal Emperor? The strength of the imperial government was all dependent on the terrifying strength of the Hongwu Emperor. If the Hongwu Emperor disappeared, would the world fall into chaos and the citizens be displaced again?

”If there really comes a day like this where he really faces a choice, then I'll take his place …”
