Chapter 1284: Stirring thoughts, enthronement ceremony

At this moment, everyone in the government and the public of the Daji Dynasty mentioned the expansion of overseas territories. This has become a wave of the times.

There are countless desert islands on the sea, with wild fruits everywhere, and swarms of fish and shrimp. As long as they are discovered and occupied, famine can be alleviated. There are also various gold and silver mines, coral reef shells.

Various literary works describing overseas expansion have emerged and are selling like crazy on the market, making readers yearn for them. Wu Yi was more or less involved in the emergence of each of these literary works. This powerful trend of thought was promoted by Wu Yi and Prince Jiang Qi.

After the rise of this trend of thought, those whose families still had enough food might just listen to it as a story, but those families who had no food for the winter at all had to really choose to take this path.

There are countless people who go out to sea every day. Many people can't squeeze into the big boat, so they just paddle on small wooden boards and float on the sea for a few days. If they are lucky, they can also find the island.

In order to provide shelter for these disaster victims, Wu Yi also deliberately photographed overseas mountains and constructed a string of islands in the shallow sea, like pearls, large or small, inlaid around the mainland, with dozens of islands in close proximity. Ten to a hundred miles, or even hundreds of miles further away. Any further away would be too risky and the gains would outweigh the losses. Wu Yi did not move the mountains.

The number of people living on these islands ranged from tens of thousands at the beginning, to millions and tens of millions later, and now, they number in the tens of millions. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the people of the Daji Dynasty were undergoing a great population migration.

People from all regions and from all directions, facing the ocean that they used to fear as dangerous, resolutely chose to go to sea under the pressure of life and death.

There are many nautical charts circulating on the market, including the location of major islands, the location of various reefs, which sea areas have a lot of fishes, what are the catches, hydrological and astronomical phenomena, etc.

At the beginning, Prince Jiang Qi was very worried about people's migration overseas, and imposed restrictions everywhere. However, the impact of the cold wave could not be relieved in a short time, and food production could not be increased at all. The planting industry could not obtain enough food, and did not expand overseas. , develop fisheries, what else do you do?

Policies cannot solve practical problems, and the people will naturally vote with their feet, breaking through the obstacles arranged by Prince Jiang Qi and falling into the arms of the Lord of the West Sea.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Prince Jiang Qi simply changed his mind and began to plan to establish counties on desert islands. You must know that some large desert islands are not much different from ordinary counties. In theory, there is no problem. None, there is only one problem.

That is the view of Wu Yi, the Lord of the West Sea.

Faced with Prince Jiang Qi's petty thoughts, Wu Yi completely pretended not to know as long as his own vital interests were not involved. Once his vital interests were involved, he would fight back crazily.

What are Wu Yi's vital interests? To put it simply, there must be no gods that Wu Yi has not acknowledged exist on these deserted islands, especially the mainland's city god system. They are not allowed to enter. This is Wu Yi's lifeblood. He has worked hard to Isn't this an act of trying to break into mainland China, only to have problems at home?

Prince Jiang Qi actually tried to touch Wu Yi's reverse scale, but Wu Yi showed no mercy. A huge wave arose and submerged the island where the heresy occurred, feeding tens of thousands of victims to fish. The effect of iron-blooded methods is also extremely significant.

From then on, no matter ordinary people or officials sent by the Great Extreme Dynasty, they no longer had the idea of ​​welcoming a new god regardless of life and death. Even the first thing a new official did when he took office was to lead the people to worship the Lord of the West Sea. , begging for the blessing of the Lord of the Western Sea, abundant fishing, no wind and waves, etc.

There are three-foot waves even when there is no wind on the sea, and the risk is extremely high. In order to save one's life and to gain a harvest, if you don't worship Wu Yi, do you worship someone else? Is it useful? Ask again, is it useful? A god who cannot even satisfy the demands of his followers, does he still deserve to be sacrificed? The measure of a god's value is its usefulness.

On these deserted islands, the Tanah Lot Temple seemed to have become the state religion, on par with the imperial power, or even superior. However, Wu Yi did not interfere in secular affairs, and it was okay if the water in the well did not interfere with the river.

Wu Yi repeatedly asked Prince Jiang Qi to welcome the Tanah Lot Temple as a national sacrifice, but the other party was willing to cede everything, even to death.

After several failed negotiations, Wu Yi no longer started from a high point, but chose the following system. As long as there are enough believers, it is only a matter of time before it becomes the state religion.

Prince Jiang Qi can block him for a while, but it is possible that he can block him for a lifetime.

The last thing worth mentioning is the ascension of Prince Jiang Qi to the throne. After the death of the former emperor, Zhongdu City was in chaos for a while, but Wu Yi's strong entrance changed the balance of power.

Especially when the deserted island was opened for Prince Jiang Qi to look after, the people all over the world were attracted by it. Even the people in the military began to be unable to suppress the lower classes. As a last resort, someone in Zhongdu City proposed to welcome Prince Jiang Qi and sent out extremely luxurious troops. team.

Prince Jiang Qi understood that his identity could not suppress the area of ​​Zhongdu City at all. He took the jade seal, but did not return to Zhongdu City. Instead, he kept wandering out. In nominal terms, of course, the cold wave continued and he would never return to the city. . In fact, there is only one reason, fear of death.

But people are always easy to cheat, and this operation once again gained Prince Jiang Qi a lot of points. Everyone was surrounding him wholeheartedly.

In summer, snowflakes finally stopped falling, and the ice and snow began to melt in some southern areas. The court officials once again suggested that Prince Jiang Qi take over the central capital, otherwise he would be unjust and unjust.

After half a year of hard work and differentiation, Prince Jiang Qi has almost finished training his own team. Especially with the advancement of overseas expansion, his brothers have completely lost the qualification to compete with him for the world.

Therefore, after some persuasion and resignation, Prince Jiang Qi began his new journey.

As his most solid ally, Prince Jiang Qi invited Wu Yi to attend his coronation ceremony. Wu Yi did not agree. It was not that he did not want to go, nor that he was unable to go. With Wu Yi's current prestige in the Daji Dynasty, it was Bai Rixian. It won't be a big problem, and everyone will just worship and cheer.

The real reason why Wu Yi didn't go was because the reincarnation system in the West Sea has reached a critical turning point in its transformation, that is, the construction of six reincarnations. Once the six reincarnations are successfully constructed, its significance to Wu Yi will be limitless.

Because of this matter, Wu Yi now doesn't have much energy to participate in Prince Jiang Qi's coronation ceremony, and the other party thought that Wu Yi looked down on him. As a last resort, Wu Yi could only promise that divine will would be revealed during his coronation ceremony. Congratulations, as for the real body, Wu Yi will not go.
