Chapter 816 - 54: The Era of Leap, Cutting Off One’s Own Wings?

If he keeps worrying about nothing due to his own concerns, then why did he bother changing so much history?

Wanyan Aguda’s abilities are undoubtedly beyond doubt.

Moreover, Gu Yi had carefully observed this person, and found his judgment of the situation to be very accurate. Now he’s also promoting the integration of various tribes at the Northern Border into Kyushu. Why wouldn’t he use someone like this?

Perhaps it’s due to the growth during this period, or perhaps it’s because the strength of the Gu Clan has become increasingly formidable now.

Gu Yi is long beyond comparable to when he first entered the game.

His ambition;

His aspirations;

have already surpassed the initial idea of enriching one region.

Gu Yi aims to transform the entire Gu Clan into a truly towering family, becoming the core of whole Kyushu, and similarly becoming one of its symbols.

Even now in modern times, this remains the case!

Since this is so, why deliberately restrict a talented person who hasn’t done anything yet?

It was precisely because he understood this point.

That Gu Yi didn’t forcibly intervene and remained very calm.

Let’s not talk about anything else.

At least at present, everything is developing in a positive direction, and he can even be certain that Kyushu will usher in an unprecedented era of prosperity!

This, for sure!

....

Developments progressed as Gu Yi anticipated.

Although competition within Great Song is intensifying, under the leadership of the Gu Clan, the whole Kyushu is also showing a blossoming vitality.

Whether it’s the livelihood of the people;

or the technological change in the relevant core industry chain, all this has formed a very good cycle.

The canal transport is becoming increasingly smooth and has formed a related system.

Stability of governance.

Let Kyushu, after hundreds of years of accumulation, finally burst forth with its inherent potential. The technologies accumulated by the Gu Clan over the years have been well applied in the current world.

Especially the elite cultivated by Gu Academy.

It is worth mentioning that——

The current Gu Academy is no longer purely academic exploration-centered. Technologies for practical use have already been brought to the forefront.

This has provided many people with another path.

Imperial Examination is not everything.

And there is a day to emerge.

This could definitely be called one of the greatest public virtues of this prosperity.

Unlike previous prosperities, this one truly benefits the ordinary people. The economic boost led by commercial development will greatly improve people’s living standards.

The trade surplus brought by maritime transport has become the key among them.

——Kyushu is too advanced!

Silk, tea....

including various technologies.

Now they have become things enthusiastically pursued by overseas nobility.

Including Gu Academy, it too is spreading rapidly at a visible speed.

Various major ports along the southeastern coast, like Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Mingzhou, are crowded with ships all year round, with masts like a forest. This alone is enough to illustrate how intimidating the current momentum of Kyushu is.

And most crucially——

All this is not exaggerated.

Every ship arriving from overseas to Kyushu is always astounded by its prosperity.

Especially Julu!

This Holy City nurtured by legends, after centuries of nurturing, finally carries its proper meaning.

Each year, there are almost always people coming from overseas for pilgrimage.

And this is only a very few who successfully reach Kyushu, most of them come alone on self-built small boats. It’s really too difficult to successfully reach Kyushu.

But it’s precisely because of this.

Every successful arrival followed by a return triggers even bigger waves.

No way, at least in this era.

Everything about Kyushu is too leading, everything is very desirable to them.

Worth mentioning is——

The current Japan and Malay Peninsula have already become an important part of the Gu Clan’s maritime transit line, including some minerals within Japan, which are also being developed now.

Of course, that’s naturally Gu Yi’s idea.

He has never forgotten this matter.

Previously didn’t do it only because he thought the time wasn’t right.

After all, at that time, naval capabilities were not mature yet. Rather than risking mining, it’s better to leave these things for future generations; anyway, what the Gu Clan aims for is something for eternity, no need to rush.

But now it’s different.

Kyushu has crossed the turmoil, including various maritime technologies which have gradually matured.

Although still far from reaching modern standards.

Yet it’s adequate for now.

Naturally, this needs to be developed.

Different from other places, for others Gu Yi may consider whether to include them in Kyushu.

But for Japan, he has absolutely no such thought.

A tiny place after all.....

The mere use is already a huge favor to them, including them in Kyushu, allowing them to share in the honor all over the world with Kyushu?

Don’t even think about it!

On this matter, Gu Yi has no psychological burden.

Under such circumstances, Kyushu can be said to be thriving.

But as time flows away.

Diverse problems are also gradually becoming apparent.

...

Yingtian Prefecture.

This place has now become the capital of Great Song. With the richness of Jiangnan supporting it, even compared to the century-old development of Kaifeng, it is no less impressive, even more prosperous.
