When he woke up in the morning, Cao Ang officially issued an imperial edict to form a mission to inspect the countries of Caozhou.

After receiving the appreciation, the Ministry of Rites did not dare to neglect and quickly devoted itself to the preparations. In addition to the internal personnel who finalized the mission, they also selected outstanding backbones from major families.

There are many aristocratic families and large populations, but few are qualified to be officials. After all, the imperial court has limited positions, so many backbones can only stay at home to study, manage family property or do other things. They responded very positively when they heard the recruitment of people from the mission.

Who doesn’t like public travel? Besides, you can use this to enrich your resume after returning from a trip. After all, it’s a business trip for the imperial court.

Time came as scheduled as a result of the busy sound of time, and the delegation members gathered in Jingang City.

Among the four major ports of the Great Wei, Liaodong Port is the rear base, Langya Port is the naval base, and Donghai Port was originally Shang Port, but because it was too close to the front line, it was often attacked by the Han army and was almost abandoned. The ocean-going fleet could only dock at Tianjin Port.

The envoy of this mission was Sima Fu, and the deputy envoy was Linghu Yu, the nephew of Wang Ling, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan. He was busy for many days and everything was ready, so he would wait for the ship to go out to sea tomorrow morning.

Finally got free time, Sima Fu and Linghu Yu went to visit Jingang City together, but they hadn't been able to visit them well for many days.

With the convenience of shipping, cities near the sea are developing faster and faster. Today, the roads of Tianjin Port are wide and crowded with traffic. It is full of bustling scenery.

Sima Fu and Linghu Yu walked side by side on the street, raised their hand and pointed at the surrounding shops and smiled: "Your Majesty is still wise. In his hands, emerging cities have risen from the ground. If this trend continues, it will be only a matter of time before and night for the Great Wei to surpass the Qin and Han dynasties."

Linghu Yu agreed and said, "That's right, I just don't know if we can see that day. By the way, Brother Shuda, the court said that Your Majesty ordered us to go to sea to prepare for future franchise. If this is true, are you willing to go to sea or stay in the Central Plains."

Paper cannot cover the fire. After thinking about it, each family discussed it and discussed it, Cao Ang’s purpose became lice on the bald head. It was obvious that many aristocratic families have begun to struggle. They are like fish and bear paws. Who doesn’t want both ends?

Sima Fu stroked his beard and smiled and said, "What's the hurry? It's not too late to think about it after examining the actual situation. If there is a big desert there, there is no need to worry about it."

Linghu Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I am not confused. It's just that I am a land duck from the north. The first time I boarded the boat was a long voyage. I was a little scared when I was floating on the sea for several months."

Sima Fu patted his shoulder and smiled, "It's okay, it's good that the boat will leave the port. As for people, they will move forward bravely when there is no way out."

Linghu Yu: "..." Who said no? Only with choices will you be confused. If you don't have to choose, you can only bite the bullet. Once the boat leaves the coastline, you will have no choice. He has no ability to swim from the sea to the shore.

The two of them walked back to the inn for a day and rested overnight. After breakfast at dawn, they rushed to the dock to prepare for going out to sea.

This time, the Ministry of Rites formed an unprecedented mission, with a membership of up to 500, each with two or three entourages, and the number was even greater. In addition, the court also assigned a thousand-person guard to the mission, all of which were elite troops selected from the army and led by Sima Fu. After all, in addition to inspecting the four countries, they also had the task of exploring unknown places in Caozhou, and it would be impossible not to send more personnel.

The people arrived at the dock and boarded the ship in an orderly manner under the auspices of Sima Fu. Dozens of warships from the ocean fleet were ready to leave the coastline successfully. The Jinyiwei of the Port quickly sent the news to the capital.

Chang'an.

In the palace, Cao Cao and Cao Ang and his son were sitting on the swing in the back garden, rippling with the wind. Cao Ang kept swaying on the swing with his feet, shaking and laughing: "The ocean-going fleet has gone to sea. He has been going on a journey for two years. He has been inspecting Caozhou for two years. After four years, we have almost prepared for it. I just don't know how many people will stay in Caozhou and not come back."

Cao Cao said confidently: "It will never be a rare person. Although the aristocratic family has a great family and a good life, they only have a few people from the main family. Most of them have been born in a private house and are not as good as ordinary people. They have long wanted to escape from the control of the main house, but they are just suffering from the lack of chance."

This is the truth. The aristocratic family is actually a small court. Although there are bloodlines inside, they are divided into high and low. Like the world, they follow the principle of the 28th law. The wealth of most people continues to flow to the pockets of a few people. Of course, the few people on the top of the tower are unwilling to separate and weaken their own strength. Most people at the lower level do not think so. Who doesn’t want to squeeze on the top of the tower if they have the chance? This is also the original driving force for social development. It is better to be a chicken head than a cow.

People are very lazy and have stronger greed. When they can't live in a place or are uncomfortable, they will naturally move to a place where they can live freely.

Cao Ang smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's wait patiently for others to come to the door, but before that, we have to solve the pseudo-Han. The Great Wei has been cultivating for nearly three years, and it's time to complete the final blow."

In recent years, the Great Wei Dynasty has been in good weather and has not experienced major natural disasters. The grain in the warehouse is almost overflowing. It is time to unify the world. The only regret is that Ma Jun and Gongshu brothers still have not broken through the technological bottleneck and new weapons cannot be used. However, Cao Ang dared not wait any longer. If he waits, the Daer-eared thief will empty Nanhan.

The Great Wei is developing, how could the pseudo-Han be idle? In recent years, while the big-eared thieves were working hard to build warships, they also built a highway. The two ends of the highway are connected to the Jianye and Nanpan highways. Once completed, the personnel and materials of the pseudo-Han can quickly retreat to Kushan along the sea and land routes. How could Cao Ang let him evacuate safely?

Cao Cao nodded and said, "When are you going to do it?"

Cao Ang smiled and said, "After the military parade, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the soldiers are wearing armor hotter, so I think it is the best to go south in autumn and winter."

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Indeed, the southern expedition is different from the northern expedition. The weather factors have a great impact. However, autumn is the plum rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is not pleasant."

Cao Ang sighed helplessly: "That's not to be ignorant. The two evils are the least. Compared to the hot weather, I would rather be soaked in water. I believe that the soldiers also have this choice."

In life, you can do whatever you feel comfortable.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I heard that the envoy of Pope Marilena came to Beijing. That little girl is quite proud of her."

Cao Ang teased: "She doesn't want to give it to you, but she dares not. When the envoy of the Great Wei Dynasty saw the Pope Crown, he said one sentence. Either the Crown sent someone to attend the military parade, or the Wei army came to the Vatican parade to show you. Dad, you are Marilyna, how do you choose?"

Cao Cao rolled his eyes directly, "You're not talking nonsense, any stupid country is willing to let other countries' troops enter their territory."

Cao Ang stretched and said, "Great power diplomacy is comfortable. Just sit on a chair and cross your legs to be an old man. Unfortunately, Sun Quan has not replied to him yet. It has been several years since he didn't know whether the grandson was alive or dead."

A weak country has no diplomacy, and a strong country can make any diplomacy.

In addition to the ocean-going mission, the court also sent two missions to Rome and Wu. The Roman mission had already returned to Beijing, but the Wu mission had no news. It would probably take some time, after all, the journey was there.
