Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention

"If you stay in Jimo City, isn't that a self-inflicted trap?" Jiang Shan said he couldn't understand.

But Zhang Beichen said: "Today's world is dominated by heroes competing for hegemony, and countries annex each other. It is no longer the way of the world where we can help each other to restore the country."

In the past many years, it often happened that the sons of one country fled to another country and regained the throne with the help of other monarchs, such as Yiquzan, the monarch of the Yiqu Kingdom.

But now, all countries want to fight for hegemony, and defecting to other princes will only become a pawn for the unification of others.

Jiang Chan also asked: "The governor of Jimo has already wanted to search here, how should we deal with it? How can we regain the throne if we escaped the search?"

Jiang Shan said: "It's better to let the old man recruit soldiers and buy horses to take down Jimo City, and then the king will issue a call for rebels to the world to punish the rebels!"

Zhang Beichen still shook his head and said, "At present, the strength of the enemy and us is very different. A rebellion at this time is tantamount to death!"

At this time, the gap between Jiang Chan and Tian Heng is not only in military strength, but also in the hearts of the people. All the subjects of Qi State love Tian Heng, but they don't like King Qi.

Once there is an incident, it is estimated that no one in the entire Qi country will respond, and it will be wiped out soon.

"Your Majesty! I think that we can go to the sea to temporarily avoid risks, use the island as a base, and slowly recruit troops to strengthen our power!" Zhang Beichen put forward his own suggestion.

In the waters around Jimo City, there are some islands, on which some fishermen live. The power of the government basically can't control the island.

"Using the island as a base?" During this period, no one paid attention to the ocean at all. Moreover, there are some monsters in the ocean, except for the fishermen in the sea and the alchemists who are bent on seeking immortality, no one will pay attention to the ocean.

But in Zhang Beichen's view, Haiyang has a lot to do!

Jimo City itself is the most prosperous port in the world. Through here, ships can resist Yan and Yue, and can also enter the inland through the Yellow River and Yangtze River.

The biggest obstacle now is probably the underdeveloped shipbuilding technology, and sea traffic is very dangerous.

"According to your words, escape this search!" Jiang Chan couldn't think of any good way.

Based on her experience, usually the simulation is to such an extent that the simulation game has almost been lost.

...

[Under Jiang Shan’s arrangement, you and Qi Wang Jiangchan packed your bags overnight, took a boat, and came to an island outside Jimo City. 】

The entire island is in an undeveloped state, and only dozens of fishermen come here to live here from time to time. It can be said that the conditions are very simple.

Although Jiang Chan is a puppet king, she also grew up in rich clothes and rich food. Facing such an environment, she feels a little uncomfortable.

"Ah! Zhang Beichen, there are snakes!" Jiang Chan screamed in the cabin.

As soon as Zhang Beichen entered the room, Jiang Chan hugged him tightly and shouted, "The snake is inside!"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, it's fine for me to deal with such trivial matters!" Zhang Beichen reminded softly.

Only then did Jiang Chan realize that her tender body was already clinging to Zhang Beichen. She blushed and said, "This king is too rude!"

Zhang Beichen entered the house, and sure enough a poisonous snake got in.

There are many poisonous snakes on this island, it is unavoidable.

Fortunately, this is not a desert island to survive. In order to take care of Jiang Chan's daily life, Jiang Shan specially sent some servants here disguised as fishermen to build a house for Jiang Chan, drive away poisonous snakes and insects, wash and cook, etc.

[A few days later, Tian Zhe took his soldiers to search the Jiang family's territory, but found no trace of Jiang Chan, so he could only report the truth to Tian Heng. 】

...

"Didn't find it?" Tian Heng was thinking, "This Jiang Chan must have escaped from Qi Kingdom, right?"

"It's very possible! She has no roots in Qi, so it's useless to stay in Qi!" Tian E said.

"Since this is the case, the enthronement cannot be delayed for long! If Jiang Chan is used by other princes, I, Tian Heng, will not be justified!" Tian Heng said, "Pass the order and prepare for the enthronement ceremony!"

[Two months later, Tian Heng, the Prime Minister of Qi State, announced that Qi Wang Jiangchan was killed by the rebellious party. Under the persuasion of the ministers, Tian Heng officially ascended the throne and became the Qi State, and the Qi State's official family has been named Tian since then. 】

...

Tian Heng's usurpation of the throne did not cause any waves in Qi State. The people of Qi State recognized the new monarch, and some even rushed to tell each other to celebrate Tian Heng's becoming the king of Qi.

Jiang Chan, who heard the news, was very depressed and asked Zhang Beichen what to do next.

Zhang Beichen said: "If you want to regain power, you must have money and people."

"This king has nothing now." Jiang Chan whispered.

"Don't you still have me, Your Majesty?" Zhang Beichen looked at him with a smile, and Jiang Chan's heart moved. For some reason, when Zhang Beichen was around, it seemed that everything would not be too bad, which made people feel at ease.

Zhang Beichen continued: "The first thing we need to do now is to make money. Only when we make money can we recruit troops and increase our power!"

"In a place like this, how do you make money if you don't even see a person?" Jiang Chan looked around, but couldn't see anything except the deserted island.

"Weichen has already inspected the island. The climate of this island is suitable, and it can be used to dry sea salt. And there is a natural port here. After the sea salt is dried, it will be transported by ship and sold to various countries, and it can earn a lot of money and food!" Zhang Beichen said.

"You mean, smuggling sea salt?" Jiang Chan guessed what he was thinking, this is a great benefit for Qi!

It is precisely because of this that Jimo City prospers, so the monarchs of all dynasties will attach great importance to this area. Making or selling sea salt without permission is a capital offense!

"Yes, but it's not considered smuggling, but a normal business. The king is the king of Qi. How can it be considered smuggling if he does business in his own home?" Zhang Beichen laughed.

"Then try it!" Jiang Chan still didn't have much confidence, even if the sea salt was dried, how much could there be, and it was not easy to sell.

...

【You asked Jiang Shan for manpower to open up salt fields on the edge of the island, bring in seawater, and dry the salt. 】

At that time, the sea salt production technology was still immature. Zhang Beichen made adjustments based on weather conditions such as humidity, temperature, and wind speed, and at the same time made improvements in various process links.

"This is our sea salt?" When Jiang Chan saw the white crystals in the salt field, her pretty face inevitably showed surprise.

The sea salt Zhang Beichen brought to the sun was white in color and even in grains, much better than the salt she had seen before.

"This is an item in short supply that is needed by all countries. As long as it can be shipped out, it can be exchanged for money!" Zhang Beichen said firmly.

In this era, many ordinary people cannot eat salt, so they can only supplement salt by various methods.

"Then how do you plan to get lucky? The officers and soldiers in Jimo City are all watching!" Jiang Chan said.

"By sea!" Zhang Beichen said directly, "From Jimo City, it can be transported to Yan and Yue, and it can be transported by rivers and inland."

"Sea transportation?" Jiang Chan frowned slightly. In this era, long-distance sea transportation is based on luck. If you are lucky, you can get there. If you are not lucky, you will be buried in the sea!

In the final analysis, the ship technology is not enough, and the small boat cannot resist the wind and waves. At that time, the largest "big wing" boat was only more than 20 meters long, and it didn't have oars or rudders!

Zhang Beichen naturally thought about this, so he contacted Jiang Shan very early and asked him to contribute money to help build the sea-going ship.

The ship was designed by Zhang Beichen himself. He adopted the keel design, which allows the ship to withstand wind and waves! In addition, multi-layer sails and ship pedals are added, so that the power of the ship is also greatly enhanced, which can increase the speed of the ship.

In addition, Zhang Beichen specially asked people to smelt several small cannons and install them on the ship to deal with monsters in the sea and possible enemies.

When the first ship was built, even Jiang Shan was full of praise.

In front of his eyes was a ship tens of meters long with several floors, which could hold more people and goods than the "Big Wing" ship!

"It's so ingenious, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang is also proficient in shipbuilding!" Jiang Shan said with emotion, "Such a big ship can be said to be invincible on the water!"

"It's not a big deal, we don't have enough money now, otherwise we can build a bigger ship!" Zhang Beichen said, even a wooden ship can build a treasure ship with a body length of 100 meters.

But obviously, they don't have the resources to build such a big ship now.

In addition to this "wooden ship", Zhang Beichen also asked Jiang Shan to spend money to build some relatively small sailboats for transporting goods.

Shipbuilding costs a lot these years. In order to meet Zhang Beichen's requirements, Jiang Shan spent all the savings of the Jiang family.

It can be said that once Zhang Beichen fails, the Jiang family will completely decline, and Jiang Chan's great cause of restoring the country will also come to an end!

To be on the safe side, Zhang Beichen decided to go there himself. He wanted to sell sea salt to the country of Yan.

After the simulation, Yan Qingwu has begun to pay attention to the economy. Now the country of Yan is closely connected with other countries. As long as the sea route between the country of Yan and the country of Qi can be opened, the king of Qi will have a huge source of profit!

...

【You drove the boat yourself, loaded a boat full of sea salt, and set off along the coastline to the country of Yan. 】

[In order to identify the direction, you invented Sinan. 】

[With your knowledge of the weather, you can always avoid stormy waves and dangerous seas in time. With artillery and personal strength, the attack of monsters was prevented. 】

Zhang Beichen has been very experienced in sea navigation because he has gone to sea to search for immortals in several simulations.

[Your ship has successfully arrived at the port of Yan State. 】

"We're here!" The crew members were surprised.

"I arrived safely and safely, and the journey was so smooth!" They felt grateful from the bottom of their hearts. In this era, sailing to the sea is a narrow escape.

"It's the adults who have known people before leading us across the sea!" Everyone admired Zhang Beichen. If it wasn't for Zhang Beichen's command, they might have sunk in the sea halfway.

【Your arrival has attracted the attention of the officials of the Yan Kingdom. He reported the matter to the King of Yan and asked the King of Yan to deal with it. 】

...

"The people of Qi State are driving big ships, transporting sea salt from the sea to Yan State for sale?" Yan Qingwu immediately thought of Zhang Beichen when she heard the news, "No one would do such a thing except Zhang Beichen!"

She immediately ordered someone to find out the news, and sure enough, she learned that the leader was Zhang Beichen.

Yan Qingwu went to the port in person to meet the group of people.

In the official office, Zhang Beichen saw Yan Qingwu again.

"Zhang Beichen, where did this king say you went? So you went to the state of Qi!" Yan Qingwu said proudly, "The king of Qi has already been usurped, how about it? Let's go with this king, this king I won't treat you badly."

Zhang Beichen said: "Your Majesty, one subject does not matter to two masters. Even if King Qi is lonely, the subject cannot leave her!"

"Hehe." Yan Qingwu sneered and said, "You say that every game!"

Seeing that Zhang Beichen could not be persuaded, Yan Qingwu asked, "What are you doing here this time? Are you a private salt dealer?"

Zhang Beichen said: "Your Majesty, these are all high-quality sea salts produced in Qi, and I just came to Yan to sell them."

"Why does this king want to help you? You are my enemy in this game!" Yan Qingwu put her hands on her non-existent chest and put on airs.

"Because this is a matter of mutual benefit!" Zhang Beichen said, "In this simulation, although King Qi lost his position, the new King Qi is not friendly to Yan State, and he has long wanted to annex Yan State."

"The national strength of the Yan Kingdom is not strong at this time. If we can sell the sea salt to other countries, we will definitely be able to make huge profits, not inferior to porcelain!"

"I sell it to the king, and only charge the normal price. If the king resells it, he can charge several times the profit!"

Because of Zhang Beichen's leading technology, the cost of making salt is much lower than others. Even at the normal price, he can make a lot of money.

Yan Qingwu thought to herself, this is really not bad for her. Even if Jiang Chan's strength has been increased in a disguised form, she still hasn't even managed her own country, and she is still far away from fighting for hegemony, so don't worry about it for the time being.

"Okay, then the king will set up a yamen in this city to manage this matter. In the future, the salt you sell must be handed over to the king!" Yan Qingwu directly monopolized the business.

"It's natural!" Zhang Beichen laughed.

When Zhang Beichen's fleet returned from the country of Yan, it had already loaded a boat full of grain, as well as some porcelain, silk, jewelry and other items.

These days, food is the hard currency, otherwise, if you bring back a few boxes of Yan Guo Dao coins, you won't be able to spend them in Qi.

...

On the island, Jiang Chan watches from the port every day.

"Your Majesty, it's windy at the seaside, let's go back to the house and rest!" Jiang Shan suggested.

Jiang Chan was a little worried, and said, "I don't know if Zhang Beichen succeeded."

Jiang Shan'an asked: "Taji people have their own aura, and they should be able to successfully complete their mission."

In fact, Jiang Shan didn't think that Zhang Beichen's chances of success were very high. No one had ever dared to carry out sea transportation like this before. To them, going on a long voyage is like gambling with their lives!

Jiang Chan looked at the sea level in a line, feeling a little lost in her heart.

Here I am, apart from my uncle Jiang Shan, the only person I can rely on is Zhang Beichen. Without Zhang Beichen by my side, I always feel that something is missing.

At this moment, she saw a small black spot appearing on the sea level.

"Uncle, look, is there a boat coming?" Jiang Chan pointed to the distance.

"Where?" Jiang Shan was old, and his eyesight was not as good as Jiang Chan's.

When the ship approached, Jiang Chan was sure, and shouted excitedly: "It's Zhang Beichen's ship, he's back!"

"God bless!"
