A mouthwatering aroma spread through the kitchen of the temporary command post. The Chang Island abalone was being carefully cooked by the chef into a delicious dish. Yang Chengye and Xiao Ming were chatting casually, but the smell was so tempting that no one could resist. Whether studying or handling government affairs, balancing work and rest was the right way. It wasn’t that Xiao Ming had become lazy, but that he understood the balance between life and work: play when it’s time to play, eat when…-

Advanced chapter at patreon.com/caleredhair "Your Highness, what shall we do with these prisoners?" After some questioning, the Goryeo general revealed everything he knew. At this point, Yue Yun ordered the soldiers to put away their bayonets. "How have they treated our fishermen?" Xiao Ming’s expression turned cold. "Anyone they catch is made a slave," Yue Yun said angrily. He already knew that many coastal pirates were actually Goryeo soldiers in disguise, which made him hate Goryeo even…

"What is going on?" Looking at the six warships that appeared, Xiao Ming asked. Seeing the six warships, the fishing boats ahead panicked like mice seeing a cat, turning sharply to try to escape. Yue Yun’s eyes showed hatred and a hint of bloodlust. He said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, these warships come from Bisha City—Goryeo warships. We have often been bullied by Goryeo warships when fishing. They are very aggressive; whenever they see our fishing boats, they chase them. Many fishermen have…

"A trap! This is a trap!" From afar on the board house ship, Deputy General Kim’s legs trembled. The thunderous sounds threw him into panic. Park Jeong-ho’s face turned pale, but he kept calm and shouted, "Retreat!" The four warships that had attacked were rocking like rootless floating plants in the water, caught in flames and roaring noises. "Is this what they call cannons?" Park squinted. The war between Great Yu and the Golden Horde had reached Goryeo, and they had learned about cannons. "No…

"Hahaha..." The serious atmosphere in the government office was broken by Xiao Ming's laughter. After negotiating for so long, he basically solved the Ryukyu problem without bloodshed and even found a trade route to Europe. Stopping his laughter, Xiao Ming said to Claire, "I am glad you can accept this condition. If you sincerely trade with my lordship's territory, I guarantee your future trade in East Asia will not be harmed. On the contrary, you will gain more profit." "I hope so. Our goal as the…

In a refined residence, red corridors encircled the courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard was a clear pond, with schools of koi fish swimming leisurely. Looking at Yue Yun’s joyful face, Xiao Ming nodded slightly. His plan to build a marine corps was not on a whim but a preparation to compete with the West for colonies. From the 15th to 16th centuries, Western countries established specially trained landing forces for overseas expansion. By the mid-17th century, England had established a marine…

Fort Zeelandia. The cold north wind blew past. Count Claire tightened his windbreaker. Rhodes stood beside him, recounting his observations from Qingzhou. “Overall, this Prince Qi’s fief is developing somewhat unevenly. They have strong military industry, but civilian industries lag far behind Europe. The people of Qingzhou are more enlightened than elsewhere but still can’t compare to Europe,” Rhodes recalled. Claire frowned. “This Prince Qi really lives for war. He puts excessive funds into…

The refined manners and speech showed that Count Claire was a genuine noble. Rhodes acted as translator between the two, conveying Claire’s words to Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming nodded slightly and gestured for Claire to sit down. He said, “Welcome to the Great Yu Empire, and to Dengzhou.” Claire sat and glanced over Xiao Ming. To his surprise, this Great Yu prince was so young. He began to understand why this Prince Qi was so tough. In Claire’s experience, young people usually lacked patience but were…

Advanced chapter at patreon.com/caleredhair. After three days of continuous light snow, it suddenly turned into a heavy snowfall. Overnight, Qingzhou was again covered in a layer of shimmering white.

They unloaded coal, iron ore, cotton, grain, fur, saltpeter, sulfur, and other goods, while also loading Qingzhou-produced soap, glass, wine, cotton…

The north wind blew snowflakes onto the smooth cement roads of Qingzhou city. The gray ground was covered with a layer of shimmering white, which meant the year-end was drawing closer by another day. Since experiencing the lingerie launched by Fei Yue’er, Princess Pingyang had been spending her time in Qingzhou. Only after half a month did she choose to return to Chang’an, since she had to celebrate the New Year there. Before leaving, Princess Pingyang repeatedly urged Xiao Ming not to forget the…
