He was called incompetent
He also cursed Torre.
Torre could only endure it.
He didn't dare offend Ouyang Feng.
If Huang Yi could cut through his army, then Ouyang Feng could easily take his head from within a hundred paces.
This is also unfair to Odbiao.
He said, feeling very aggrieved, "Our Persian Ming Cult does indeed possess the most powerful martial arts in the world."
"However, despite their high martial arts skills, they wouldn't hold a very high social status in Persia."
"Although I am the leader of the Ming Cult in the Central Plains, the Twelve Treasure Tree Kings above me hold a position far above mine."
"Most of them are only proficient in the scriptures, not in martial arts."
"Therefore, we Persians do not revere martial arts; those who are proficient in the scriptures are the truly superior."
At this moment, both Ouyang Feng and Ao Debiao faced a choice.
They weren't Huang Yi; if they killed Torre, they wouldn't survive either.
Kidnapping Torre was useless.
Those below were eager for Torre's death so they could rise to power.
Unlike Huang Yi, who could kill someone and then leave unscathed.
Finally, Ouyang Feng decided to cooperate with Torre and remain in the army.
It's about cooperation, not submission.
His goal was simple: to acquire advanced martial arts techniques and to seek revenge.
Odbiao, on the other hand, chose to submit.
He knew very well that Persia could not resist the Mongol army.
In the end, they will also be executed.
There was no other way; both of them chose to follow Torre.
Torre was overjoyed
However, neither Ouyang Feng nor Ao Debiao could have imagined...
Their decision was solely for Huang Yi's purpose of expanding his territory.
Huang Yi's goal for them wasn't just to conquer Persia, but to reach the Danube.
Upon returning home, Huang Yi began preparing for several major events.
After the beginning of spring, he married three concubines.
Hua Zheng, needless to say, is one of the top beauties in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
The two Goryeo concubines were not actually members of the royal family.
Instead, beautiful women were selected from all of Goryeo, made royal consorts, and then married into the Qin Dynasty.
Both of them are famous for their long legs.
Goryeo is famous for its long legs
After the wedding, some changes occurred in the court.
There are many voices calling for the establishment of a crown prince.
Huang Yi did not want to establish a crown prince.
Being a crown prince is a high-risk profession.
At the same time, it is possible that one may never be able to become a permanent employee.

The crown prince might not necessarily outlive him.
Like someone else, he may have been the crown prince for sixty years, but ultimately failed to ascend the throne.
However, to appease the people, if a crown prince is not appointed, the question of how the throne will be inherited needs to be addressed, and the people need an explanation.
Therefore, Huang Yi studied under later generations.
Write the edict of succession and place it behind the plaque in the main hall.
The second major task was to have one of his disciples, Zheng Taibao, establish a navy.
Previously, a shipyard was built in Shanghai, with an annual investment of ten million taels.
By this time, a batch of ships had been built.
Huang Yi, send your navy to Korea and establish a base there.
Another major event was the recall of Yang Kang, who was then appointed General Who Conquers the South, granted the title of County Marquis, and made a hereditary title for three generations.
Huang Yi is preparing to wage war in the south.
The first thing to deal with is Dali.
In Dali, Huang Yi wanted to try diplomacy first, then resort to force.
After dealing with Dali, they will continue their advance southward.
Yang Kang first went to Guangdong and Guangxi to train his troops and let them adapt to the climate there.
The Qin Empire was growing stronger day by day.
Although Huang Yi engaged in large-scale construction
But there is enough money to support it.
Steel mills, they invest a lot of money.
However, they produced large quantities of steel and sold them to ordinary people.
Each year, only a few million taels of silver need to be invested.
Building a railway will result in huge losses in the short term, but later on, transporting goods and selling coal can generate substantial profits.
Moreover, these key manpower were provided by prisoners of war.
Huang Yi also introduced the system of merging land tax and poll tax, imposing a 20% land tax annually and abolishing the remaining taxes.
Agricultural taxes are extremely high every year
The main reason is the absence of encroachment by the aristocratic families.
Historically, the gentry have controlled more land, and these lands were not subject to taxes.
In the sixth year of Huang Yi's reign
Huang Yi began to formulate a five-year plan
The first year was one without war.
The following year, the plan was to launch an eastern expedition against Fusang.
Chapter 110 Dali Kingdom
Huang Yi, in the sixth year of his reign
He was 26 years old that year.
Very important
First, the capital was moved to Nanjing.
Lin'an is not suitable
Although the Qiantang River also has an outlet to the sea, it can't compare to Nanjing.
Nanjing, after all, still has control over the Yangtze River.
The imperial palace in Nanjing was very small.
It can only accommodate a little over a thousand people.
Unlike later imperial palaces, which could house hundreds of thousands of people.
These hundreds of thousands of people do not engage in production, yet their daily expenses are enormous.
The new palace, like the White House in later times, was primarily for administrative purposes.
Of course, Huang Yi's family will also live there.
It has two gates, one in the front and one in the back, and greenery on both sides, forming a garden.
There is a large square in front.
In this way, the entire palace will not be too large, saving millions of taels of silver annually.
