From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Xia Jieren laughed devilishly, shook his finger, and said proudly: "The military training method used by Wu Da is the most commonly used method in my country's army. It guarantees that the troops will be trained to be obedient and to follow orders in daily life and in combat."

Queen Lit praised: "Your country is really amazing!"

Hearing this, the smile on Xia Jieren's mouth spread to his entire face.

"Cough cough!"

Just as Xia Jieren was chatting happily with Queen Litte, a light cough came from Litte's left.

Xia Jieren and Litte turned their heads to look and immediately understood what the old butler meant.

Queen Litte sat down gracefully again. Xia Jieren touched the back of his head and straightened his body embarrassedly.

It is indeed not a good idea to chat in a meeting.

Cough!

Xia Jieren coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, then he changed the subject and asked Oliva, "Oliva, how are you doing?"

Ferran Oliva stood up, turned his body towards the main seat, and reported: "Currently, there are 1662 researchers in the Hall of Truth."

"After this period of hard work, we have completed the design and manufacture of some simple machines, and have conducted research on daily diseases. We have developed more than 50 special medicines with different functions. However, due to technical problems, we are unable to achieve mass production for the time being."

"The main work of the Temple of Truth now is the research and development and application of steam engines."

Xia Jieren said regretfully: "It's a pity that we are not on the Grand Line, otherwise we could go to the Water City and find the iceberg to learn from him."

Seeing that Ferran Oliva had finished his report, Xia Jieren nodded and motioned for him to sit down.

After Oliva sat down, Xia Jieren turned his head and looked at the last person.

Renzo Miles stood up and reported directly in a loud voice: "At present, the governments at all levels in the Kingdom of the Netherlands have completed the reform, the government affairs have been sorted out, and the rights and obligations of positions at all levels have been clarified."

"Afterwards, I will continue to strengthen supervision of officials."

Xia Jieren nodded and offered his own suggestion.

"By the way, don't forget to ask for the opinions of the citizens. You can judge for yourself whether it is worth adopting. If you can't judge, please raise it in time."

"Yes!" Miles responded, and then sat down again at Xia Jieren's signal.

quiet......

The conference room fell into an eerie silence again. Xia Jieren suggested, "Since there is nothing else to say, let's adjourn the meeting."

Queen Litt nodded and agreed, "Okay."

After saying this, she felt relieved.

To be honest, she, like Xia Jieren, didn't really like holding meetings, but they had to attend them.

When Miles was packing up the documents on his desk and preparing to leave, Xia Jieren stopped him and directly ordered: "Tell your subordinates to be more careful and report any strange fruits in a timely manner. As long as it is confirmed to be a devil fruit, there will be a generous reward."

"As you command, Master."

Keeping the Lord's orders in mind, Miles walked out of the meeting room and headed towards his office.

In his office, his subordinates had already gathered, waiting for Miles to convey orders.

"I hope I can find one or two devil fruits!" Xia Jieren prayed in his heart.

Not long after Xia Jieren left the meeting room, Fan Li came to his door.

"My Lord, we are back." Fan Li bowed slightly and spoke.

Xia Jieren nodded and asked, "How was the voyage?"

Fan Li replied in a relaxed tone: "This voyage was very smooth and we gained a lot."

"Oh! Let's go and have a look together."

After saying that, Xia Jieren and Fan Li entered the heart network.

A light curtain appeared out of thin air in front of Xia Jieren, and the content inside was exactly what Fan Li had experienced in the past few days.

Fan Li also explained at the right time: "We set out from East Harbor and sailed northwest."

"In the first few days, we only encountered a few small countries or autonomous islands."

"Then we head west and arrive at the military powerhouse of the West Sea - the Kingdom of Flowers."

"The architectural style there is very unique, very similar to the ancient buildings that the Lord remembers, but with significant differences."

"The Kingdom of Flowers!" Xia Jieren stared at the familiar building in the video.

Xia Jieren still has a certain favorable impression towards this country with familiar elements.

The scene jumped again, and Fan Li spoke slowly again: "To the southwest of the Flower Kingdom, that is, in the middle of the West Sea, there are also numerous islands and countries. This is the main area of ​​mafia activities."

"However, since we had already sold out our goods and purchased specialties from other countries or islands, there was no need to move forward, so we returned."

"However, according to the information we have gathered, there is a huge continent southwest of the Mafia, with more than a dozen countries of varying sizes scattered across it. They are hostile to each other and wars are frequent."

Xia Jieren nodded to show that he understood.

Then he asked, "Fan Li, have you decided on the date for your next voyage?"

"No, the goods on the ship have not been sold out yet. After they are sold out, we will replenish a batch of specialties before setting off again."

Xia Jieren pondered for a while and said, "How about this? You sell the goods you purchased directly to the Netherlands Group and let them sell them on your behalf."

"Besides that, you can directly ask them to purchase the supplies you need in the future."

"I'll ask Fan Long to give you two more ships and equip them with enough Zergmen and other Zerg combat units."

Hearing this, Fan Li was overjoyed and said, "I will definitely not disappoint the Lord's expectations."

After saying this, Fan Li left Xinwang to prepare for the next voyage.

"Kerrigan!" Xia Jieren called out softly twice.

Kerrigan appeared in front of him, and Xia Jieren pointed to the simple map in front of him and said, "You let the fungal blanket expand according to this simple map."

"The pace of expansion into the East China Sea and the South China Sea should be slowed down for now."

Kerrigan breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "We should have stopped long ago. The Red Earth Continent consumes too much energy."

"Yeah!" Xia Jieren sighed.

The Red Earth Continent is simply a huge pit, and no one knows how it was formed.

The geological structure beneath the red soil continent is extremely hard, even harder than diamond.

This means that the energy used to expand the fungal blanket by one kilometer is thousands or tens of thousands times more than usual.

Even though Xia Jieren is not short of energy now, he can easily release millions or tens of millions of Zerg troops if he wants.

But no matter how much energy there is, it cannot withstand such waste. After spending 300 to 400 million points of energy, it only expanded less than five kilometers. How could Xia Jieren tolerate this?

Looking at the energy being wasted like water, even Kerrigan felt a little distressed.

Fortunately it's paused now.
