Two days after the water dissolved into Dajiala, Huo Sheng also arrived. Jia Lian and Jia Cong still went to the Zodiac Square to greet him. Huo Sheng came on horseback, leading a group of soldiers behind him. He looked more like a king than a king.
General. He has become a lot darker in recent years, but his demeanor has not changed much.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the post house, water came with their hind legs. The Jia brothers laughed when they saw him. Jia Cong was quick to speak and said first: "Why isn't your majesty wearing that sexy dragon robe?" He will change it today.
Wearing a crow-green robe.
Shui Rong said: "I thought about it and what you said makes sense."
Huo Sheng suddenly became happy: "Uncle Shui is really here wearing a dragon robe?"
Jia Cong nodded vigorously: "How silly!" The two brothers laughed together with Huo Sheng.
Shui Rong was a little annoyed, so he swallowed hard and said with a white face: "Why is it so bad? This is the case for all the late emperors and emperors."
Jia Cong suppressed a smile and said, "My nephew understands what my uncle is thinking. This time, Huo Sheng and Zhou Xiaolan are here. I want to show off the strength of the Dacheng Kingdom. You are the first to establish the country, so it is understandable that you always want to show the majesty of the emperor."
Nai suppressed his smile, "But it's not like the two of them can't afford to wear dragon robes. They worked hard for several years in the early days of the founding of the country. Besides, the only emperor who can wear dragon robes is——" He pointed his finger towards the north.
, "It is not prescribed by other countries, so why should we follow the rules of other countries? It is better to use other things as totems. For example, the Tian family can wear unicorns, but the subjects cannot. As for the dragons and phoenixes that the Situ family values, in Dacheng, ordinary people can not
"Yi. My uncle is the head of the country, so you have the final say. Why should you follow the rules of neighboring countries?"
Huo Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What a great idea! One of the things that bothers me most right now is the instability of people's hearts. I'm afraid that people miss their motherland."
Jia Cong said: "It's okay for you. You are far away, and they can't go back even if they miss their homeland. The Lord Zhou is not close either. Dacheng is the closest."
Shui Rong said: "Our country doesn't have many immigrants, but it has the most native people."
Jia Cong touched his chin: "That's right! You have a lot of native people, and it's very difficult to get them to learn our Korean dialect. Why not introduce some immigrants to dilute it a bit."
Huo Sheng hurriedly said: "Their place is only that big, how can it accommodate immigrants! We are far behind."
Jia Cong said: "You can move freely. Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, Japan, Tianzhu, Myanmar, Taiwan, Dacheng, Java, Malay, Australia. The entire Pan-Pacific ecosystem can move freely. Everyone, let's establish apec."
Huo Sheng asked: "What?"
"Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation informal summit talks." Jia Cong said seriously, "asia-pacific economic cooperation." He thought for a while and asked Huo Sheng, "Are you tired?"
"Tired." Huo Sheng said, "But you just finished talking, and I can't stop."
Jia Cong nodded, asked for the four treasures of the study, and wrote a long list of names: Zhou Xiaolan, Situ Cen, Wei Ruoheng, Lu Sangu, Gong Kun, Lin Daiyu, Jia Tanchun. He handed it to an assistant beside him and said, "Separately
Go and invite everyone."
Shui Rong glanced at the list and took a breath: "Situ Cen is the third son of the King of Shu, isn't he?"
"Yes." Jia Cong said, "Wei Ruoheng is the Wei Ruoheng you think of. These guys are all in Dajiala right now."
Shui Rong looked at him and said, "Why are there no people from King Yan?"
"No one from the kings was invited. Situ Cen happened to catch up with the trip. He just returned from studying in the West and passed by Taiwan." Shui Rong nodded thoughtfully.
Jia Cong then asked Huo Sheng some things about Australia. At this moment, Australia is really a wasteland, with nothing and many wild animals. Huo Sheng led the people to open up wasteland and build houses, which was very hard. The kangaroos and the others had already encountered them, and they were famous in later generations.
The koalas have not been seen yet. They had just arrived there not long ago and had never been to many places. Jia Cong suddenly remembered the issue of "maintaining biological species diversity" for future generations, and hurriedly pulled Huo Sheng to talk earnestly. Huo Sheng listened completely.
I don’t understand, I don’t know what to do to protect wild beasts. As soon as I came to report to the door outside, Zhou Xiaolan’s messenger said that he would be here in about two quarters of an hour. Huo Sheng quickly stood up and ordered to prepare tea - obviously he didn’t want to listen to Jia Cong’s nagging anymore.
Jia Lian also felt that what Jia Cong said was a bit ridiculous, and followed Huo Sheng with an apology on his face to come up with ideas.
Jia Cong Baba'er looked at their figures and said with a wry smile: "That's right, the beast is his enemy right now. How can he protect his enemy?"
Shui Rong said: "I understand what you mean. It's too early."
Jia Cong sighed: "By the time he takes over all of Australia, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Shui Rongyi looked at Huo Sheng for a long time, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Since Huo Sheng and the Lord Zhou are not married yet, and their two countries are not far apart, why not just get married?"
Jia Cong was puzzled: "...What? Your idea is so amazing. Where are we? They each bear the burden of a country, so they can't mess up. You know there is no room for two tigers in one mountain?" Shui Rong looked hesitant and opened his mouth, obviously there was something wrong.
He didn't dare to say anything. Jia Cong frowned and said, "Uncle Shui, could it be that today you still think that Zhou Xiaolan is a married woman and it is possible to listen to her husband?"
Shui Rong said: "Even if she gets married to one of her men, sooner or later she won't be able to have children?"
"Well, what's the matter? Isn't it normal to get married and have children?"
"After giving birth to a child, is she still in charge of Java?"
Jia Cong blinked: "Why not?"
After a while, Shui Rong sighed softly: "Does she really regard herself as a man?"
Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth: "If you keep this old-fashioned idea, I can't hope to keep up with the times."
Shui Rong sighed again and waved his hand: "That's all."
Jia Cong also sighed and said in a low voice: "I didn't count on you in the first place."
Shui Rong's eyes moved: "Cong'er, what did you say?"
Jia Cong shrugged: "I didn't expect Uncle Shui to shake things up." He turned to see Jia Lian and Huo Sheng who had already been talking together, and he simply said, "The Prince's Palace in Beijing is a palace with a different surname that has outstanding martial arts. Your family will show up openly."
It is extremely clever to keep bandits secretly after gaining military power. However, you have made friends with so many scribes in a high-profile manner, and you have unrepentant dealings with martial arts disciples like Jia Baoyu who are 'well-established'. You can only be considered a half-smart person."
Shui Rong was stunned: "When did I stop going back and forth with Jia Baoyu?"
Jia Cong suddenly shut up - Qin Keqing was already the mother of two children in this time and space, and Shui Ruo had not made friends with Jia Baoyu at all! His mind was in knots... Then he felt a little embarrassed and said with a dry smile: "I'm sorry, remember the confusion
"It's..." Nai explained, "If I hadn't come down to stir up trouble, Uncle Shui should have made friends with my brother Baoyu. He was a 250-year-old back then. You can't think highly of his talent. You can only think highly of him."
His life experience." It took Shui Rong a while to understand what he was talking about, and he was stunned.
Not long after Zhou Xiaolan arrived at the door, Huo Sheng and Jia Lian hurried to greet her. Then people on Jia Cong's list came one after another. Probably because Lu Sangu was married, or because he was older and more experienced, Huo Sheng
Seeing that there was nothing strange about her, he held her hand as usual. Situ Cen was the last to arrive.
After everyone greeted each other for a long time, Jia Cong coughed and walked to the middle and made a group salute: "Everyone, it is not easy for everyone to get together. I have something to say." Everyone immediately fell silent. Jia Cong said, "Thank you, everyone.
Your Majesty has come to attend the late birthday’s wedding. I didn’t want the wedding to be a serious matter, but it’s not easy to gather so many people. I can at least make a start and popularize the knowledge, right?”
Lin Daiyu said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Jia Cong then talked about cooperation between countries, standardization, free immigration, technology flow, resource trading, etc. When he sat down and drank tea, Shui Rong said: "After talking for a long time, you want us to lose weight."
Where are the tariffs going?”
Jia Cong waved his hand and drank the tea in his hand: "Tariff is just one of them, free movement is the most important. Why is Hong Kong prosperous? From the opening of the port to now, there has been no tariff! It was smuggling. In the past, it was
What about the tax money of the Black Court now? The tax money of Black Prince Teng? Why doesn’t Prince Teng collect Hong Kong’s customs duties and still publicize it?”
Huo Sheng said: "As soon as Wang Ziteng collected the tariff, many ships sailed to ports such as Tianjin and Wuxi. You have to pay taxes anyway, and you can also save the carriage fee from Lingnan to Yan and Wu."
Jia Cong smiled and clapped his hands: "Prince Huo is still clever. Speaking of which, you have a lot of iron ore in Australia, have you found it? Our Taiwan government wants to buy it."
"Not yet." Huo Sheng said, "Let's open up wasteland and cultivate the land first."
Jia Cong said hurriedly: "You can go to Tianzhu and Java to buy grain! You just open the iron ore, and we will buy it from you. Everyone performs their own duties, isn't it cheap?"
Huo Sheng narrowed his eyes: "So you want to buy our iron ore! No wonder you don't charge tariffs."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "We won't charge customs fees when we sell the steam mining machine to you later, okay? That thing doesn't necessarily cost a lot of manpower. There is no shortage of people in the princely countries, so they may not be willing to buy it. For you, the most important thing is
It works."
Huo Sheng snorted: "You have been talking about improving the steam engine for how many years, but it has not been improved yet. I believe you are the only one who is evil!"
"It's really good this time!" Jia Cong said, "And we found a mine in Guangxi for testing. If you are not in a hurry, you can go and have a look."
Huo Sheng glanced at him sideways: "Is it really better?"
Gong Kun said: "It's really good."
Although Huo Sheng was not familiar with Gong Kun, he believed what he said and immediately smiled: "Great! I'll take a look tomorrow! Anyway, there are still a few days left for Jia Cong to get married. It's too late."
Gong Kun said: "I'm afraid that the prince will be reluctant to leave when he gets there."
Zhou Xiaolan also said: "Have you really invented a steam engine? I'll take a look too. There are a lot of mines in our country."
Gong Kun said: "Everyone who wants to go can go there together."
Situ Cen didn't know why and asked: "What is a steam engine?"
Jia Cong roughly explained the purpose of this thing and said, "I can't explain clearly. You will understand after seeing it."
Zhou Xiaolan said: "Yesterday, Rui Jin and I saw a shop selling gramophones on the top floor of your Dajiala First Department Store. It was interesting. I want to buy two. Will there be any tariffs?"
"That's just a gadget. If you buy a few, it won't be taxed."
Zhou Xiaolan looked at him with a half-smile: "Oh? What do those duty-free shops in your Tamsui Port do?"
Jia Cong did not turn around for a moment. Lin Daiyu said: "Your Majesty is the head of a friendly country and enjoys diplomatic tax exemption rights."
Jia Cong nodded repeatedly: "That's right!"
Situ Cen hurriedly said: "Am I exempt from tax?"
Jia Cong glanced at him: "Exemption~~You don't want to go to a foreign country, so what kind of tariffs will you ask for?" Situ Cen suddenly remembered that he was not from abroad, and smiled slightly.
Jia Congkong was full of ideas brought from later generations, but he was not good at actually discussing matters with the heads of state. Later, Gong Kun took charge. Huo Sheng had not rested since he called the post house, and held a half-day meeting.
Fortunately, he was young and strong, and the discussions were all about important and useful matters, so he was in good spirits.
Everyone ate here in the evening, preparing to finish the meal and then discuss matters. After a short rest, Jia Cong wanted to go to the backyard and take a few steps to eat. After hearing this, Shui Rong also wanted to go with him. When Huo Sheng's post house was built, there was nothing.
No matter what, just let the people in Taiwan make the decision. Because there was little strong indigenous civilization left in Australia in later generations, Jia Cong ordered people to build the place into a modern style. He and Shui Rong walked along the Fermat Spiral Trail
Taking a walk, there is a simple octagonal pavilion in the center.
After sitting down in the pavilion, Jia Cong glanced at Shui Rong with a smile: "Uncle, do you have something to say?"
Shui Rong hesitated for a moment and said, "Has your third girl agreed to marry someone else?"
Jia Cong was a little unhappy: "You are always such a gossip!"
Shui Rong said hurriedly: "I just saw her and Huo Sheng here. Didn't Huo Sheng propose marriage to your father in the early years?"
Jia Cong waved his hand: "My third sister is now an important official in the Taiwan government, and Huo Sheng has begun to take over Australia. Regardless of the fact that they are not familiar with each other and have no feelings for each other, how can two people so important to their respective camps get married? After getting married, they live together
Where?"
Shui Rong shook his head: "Am I really old? I'm not old..."
Jia Cong looked at him and said: "My uncle is not even forty yet, right? He is not old at all! It's just that his brain is very rigid, and he would rather deceive himself than accept the reality. If you always thought about 'marrying Zhou Xiaolan and seeking the Kingdom of Java' or
The outdated idea of 'marrying a lady from the Rongguo Mansion and forming an alliance with the Taiwanese Mansion' will be outdated in Dacheng at the earliest in ten years. It is unknown whether it will be destroyed by other countries in fifty years."
Shui Rong took a deep breath, puffed out his chest and said, "I want to see who has that ability!"
Jia Cong pointed outside and said: "Everyone has that ability. When Huo Sheng, Situ Cen, and Zhou Xiaolan are planning to spend a lot of money to buy a steam engine, you are still thinking about putting on a show and making dragon robes. All the money is spent on making dragon robes.
If you go to war, you have to buy fewer firearms. My uncle knows that the competition nowadays is not whose sword is faster and whose arrows are accurate, but whose firearms are sophisticated. The fighting is also fast and tight. And most of you Dacheng Kingdom are native people.
, the people will have no problem changing the emperor."
Shui Rong was stunned for a long time, then said with a wry smile: "You are right. But most of the people I have are military generals, and I have very few talents in governing the country."
It was obvious that he had something to say, so Jia Cong hurriedly interrupted: "You are a county prince after all, and Zhou Xiaolan is just a pirate. You have fewer talents than her? There is no shortage of good land, people and houses in Dacheng, and there is no shortage of people and houses in Huo Sheng's side.
It's a wasteland. You only have to deal with kangaroos, crocodiles and pythons every day. How can you be more difficult than him? Your Majesty, the Dacheng Kingdom is simply extravagant." He paused, "I don't know how long we can be extravagant."
Shui Rong was startled again when he heard this. Jia Cong sat aside for a long time and suddenly heard him ask: "Is your steam engine really that effective?"
Jia Cong immediately laughed: "You'll know if you go and see it?"
Shui Rong said: "That's all. Anyway, you kid must accompany me."
Jia Cong waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm not going! Someone else will go with you. I will be on my honeymoon then."
