Chapter 1765 The rich people make the country strong
Inside the royal study.
Lu Ban and his craftsmen were busy, and the prototype of the fire pit had appeared. The ministers were still immersed in horror. This fire pit did not occupy a large area, and was similar to the bed in their mansion. If it was true as Emperor Chu said, it would be more convenient than the sleeping pavilion.
, that is simply a heating artifact.
Feeling the longing on the faces of the ministers, Emperor Chu chuckled and said: "You all know the wonderful use of the fire kang. The fire kang in the royal study is a test product. Once it is successful, I will order people to go to your mansions to build it for you."
Fire attack, but you have to pay for the craftsmen’s fees yourself.”
"Your Majesty's Holy Grace, you should pay for your work!"
"Yes, it should be!"
All the ministers agreed one after another, and Emperor Chu led everyone to the Nuan Pavilion on one side. After entering the pavilion, everyone followed Emperor Chu and took their seats one after another.
"What do you think of the matter of Cai Xing Pavilion? You might as well say it directly. I want to hear your opinions!"
Finally, when Emperor Chu mentioned the matter of Zhaixing Pavilion, everyone looked solemn and worried for a moment, obviously very worried that the eight ancient tribes would choose to take revenge.
"Your Majesty, the eight ancient tribes are mysterious and have always been superior to other countries. After they entered Chang'an, Weichen sent Jin Yiwei to investigate in various ways and obtained some information about them."
Di Renjie was the first to speak. In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on him. Emperor Chu was even more curious about the information collected by Jin Yiwei.
"Di Qing, tell me, what news has Jin Yiwei received?"
"Your Majesty, before arriving at Chang'an City, the eight ancient tribes went to the four kingdoms of Longtang, Han, Qin, and Khan. The kings of all countries treated them as guests, and even responded to their requests."
"In this case, Wu Chu's actions will probably make the people of the eight ancient tribes hold grudges. The Heaven-Devouring and Bright War has just ended. If the eight ancient tribes stir up trouble again, the peaceful days will end again."
Di Renjie had a gloomy look on his face, knowing well the details of the eight ancient clans, and it would not be a good thing for them to care about him.
"Your Majesty, Master Di is right. Now that he has become enemies with the eight ancient tribes, he still needs to be careful in the days to come."
Fang Xuanling echoed the words, looking anxious and uneasy. On the other hand, Emperor Chu looked calm and calm, sitting in the top position, as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest panic.
All the ministers spoke one after another, but Jiang Shang and Zhang Liang did not speak. They looked sideways at Emperor Chu, knowing that he must have a plan in advance, otherwise he would not be so reckless.
"The four kingdoms of Longtang, Great Qin, Great Han, and Great Khan obeyed the advice of the eight ancient tribes. That was their decision, and I have no right to interfere."
"But Xiang Ping, the eight ancient tribes, wanted to obtain divine fire and ten million spirit stones with just a few words. It is simply a fool's dream."
"If I agree to any clan, others will make more rude requests, but I dare not say that the land, resources, or other things are all obtained with the blood of my Chu soldiers. Just because they are people of the ancient clan, just
Can you act arbitrarily and exploit me Chu at will?"
"I'm sorry, I am the emperor of Chu State, and I am responsible for the entire Chu State. If the eight ancient tribes want to plot against Chu, they will have to fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield."
"Today's move was decided after I thought about it for a long time. You are the mainstay of Wu Chu and important ministers of the Chu State. Their status is no weaker than that of the eight ancient tribes. In the future, if you encounter people from the ancient tribes anywhere in Wu Chu, you must
Let them know who is the host and who is the guest.”
"What happened today is a wake-up call. If the people of the ancient clan know the current situation, they will restrain themselves. But if they dare to disturb the situation in the following days, I don't mind killing them all!"
When Emperor Chu saw Fang Xuanling, Di Renjie and the others were a little wary of the eight ancient tribes, they looked sullen and angry. The meaning behind their words was very clear. The ancient tribe would never tolerate it if they dared to offend the Chu State, nor could they agree to anything from the ancient tribe.
Require.
The words fell.
The Nuan Pavilion fell into silence, and everyone remained silent.
"Xuanling, Bowen, in the next few days, Zhongshu will leave everything to you two. Kong Ming and Huaiying will continue to collect information about the ancient tribes and know themselves and the enemy. As long as they dare to make another move, they will kill the conspiracy in the cradle with just a few clicks.
.”
"Next, the trial operation of the train, the casting of the treasure ship, the forging and improvement of the fire blunderbuss and the red barbarian cannon are the most important events for my Chu. There cannot be any delay."
"I will obey the Holy Order!"
Everyone stood up and raised their fists to accept the order, and left Nuange one after another. Only Jiang Shang and Zhang Liang remained because they knew that Emperor Chu would entrust them with something.
"Ziya, Zifang, I want to rest and recuperate for a year so that all areas of Wu Chu can be improved. Now that my Chu is well-known, other countries dare not act rashly. This is the best time for rapid development."
"Your Majesty is thoughtful and reasonable. One year of settlement can bring about earth-shaking changes in Wuchu. The war with Longtang, Great Qin, Great Han, and Great Khan should only have a one-year buffer period."
"If a full-scale war with the four countries breaks out, it will be the ultimate battle to unify the continent. A year of rest and recuperation can be regarded as preparation before the war."
Obviously, both Jiang Shang and Zhang Liang agreed very much with the Chu Emperor's decision. The war lasted for many years, and Chu's territory continued to expand. There was no devastation in the war, the country was peaceful, the people were safe, and the weather was smooth.
What seems to be just one year of development is equivalent to the accumulation of the previous ten years. One year later, the national strength will be even higher. Even if we face the four great empires of Long and Tang together, we will still be sure of a decisive victory.
"Ziya, Zifang, for the next year, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry will be in charge of the two of you. If there is anything you can ask He Shen to handle, this year we will only focus on the economy and production."
"You can go to the Academy of Sciences and discuss with Shen Kuo and Zhang Heng how to promote the latest types of grains. I have already informed them of the specific methods."
At dawn, Emperor Chu took Naya'a to the Academy of Sciences. The reason for his delay in arriving at the Zhaixing Tower was to discuss the fire kang with Lu Ban, and to discuss the forging of the chimney passage with Ou Yezi and general Moye.
At the same time, he also handed over the sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, and watermelon seeds rewarded in the system supermarket to Shen Kuo and others, and asked them to open an open space in the Academy of Sciences and start planting in the next spring.
In order to ensure the successful emergence of all vegetables and fruits, Emperor Chu made detailed notes, including when to plant them and where they were suitable for planting. These details were clearly explained to everyone.
Let Jiang Shang and Zhang Liang take charge of the economy and engage in production. Their purpose is very simple, which is to make all the people rich and give the people of the world a sense of belonging.
If the people are prosperous, the country will be strong. As long as the people are united and share the same hatred against the enemy, even if a war breaks out a year later, the foundation of the country will still be stable, and the soldiers of the three armies can fight with peace of mind on the battlefield.
After Zhang Liang and Jiang Shang left Nuange, Emperor Chu was left alone to sort out all the recent arrangements. He knew that after every edict was completed, Chu State would completely surpass other countries in all fields. (To be continued)
