"Oh... my arms are sore... my waist is also a little sore..." Early in the morning, Zhang Hao gently pulled his arm out from under Zhou Xueyao.
Zhou Xueyao murmured next to her, turned over and continued to sleep, revealing her tender and delicate back. The thin summer quilt could not cover the beauty's slim figure at all.
Zhang Hao stretched his arms a few times, hugged Zhou Xueyao again, and continued to sleep in.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning (who's going to finish the sentence) that the maid came in, then jumped out again with a whoosh, and hurriedly closed the door.
Zhou Xueyao pulled off the thin quilt and covered her head, with a hint of crying in her voice: "It's already noon... I'm going to be laughed to death..."
"Anyone who dares to laugh will be sent to the sea to feed the fish!" Zhang Hao said domineeringly, but his hands began to become dishonest.
"Ah..." Zhou Xueyao screamed and pushed Zhang Hao down, causing Master Zhang to fall on his back.
…………
Zhang Hao didn't walk out of Zhou Xueyao's room until the evening, and along the way he gave a bright smile to the maids around him who had their heads lowered.
However, Zhang Hao's leisurely mood did not last long, and he soon took the train and headed to Jianwucheng, the imperial capital.
The country of Qixia now needs Zhang Hao's brains. Although Zhang Hao is now the Minister of Marine Development, many of the country's policies, especially those at the industrial and commercial level, will be finalized after asking Zhang Hao's opinion.
Zhang Hao arrived at the imperial capital late at night, but the imperial capital was full of traffic and the palace halls were brightly lit. When Zhang Hao arrived at the hall, he saw some tired officials meditating on the spot. The Qixia Kingdom is now very busy, and there are no people at all.
Time to leave and rest.
After Zhang Hao arrived, Liu Xinyu stood up to greet him excitedly.
I can't help but be excited. In just these few days, the legions of the Qixia Kingdom have swept across the Danyang Kingdom, the Jinyang Kingdom, and the Zhoushan Kingdom.
With the help of the power of the warships, the Kingdom of Zhoushan has almost been defeated. The Kingdom of Jinyang has a good foundation, but it cannot stop it for too long. Now the army has approached the city of Jinyang Kingdom, and artillery attacks day and night.
After Zhang Hao arrived, there was naturally someone to explain the current situation to Zhang Hao.
After hearing this, Zhang Hao asked a few questions: "Where are the nobles of Danyang Country?"
"Most of them have been cleared! The rest are gathered around the Red Building. We are just surrounding them for the time being, not attacking."
Zhang Hao asked again: "Then the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Jinyang has been bombarded by artillery for several days, and it hasn't fallen yet?"
"Because we want to clean up all the nobles in the Kingdom of Jinyang. Now these nobles are resisting stubbornly. But judging from the current situation, they can't hold on for long."
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why not use the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation? We are benevolent to the Kingdom of Jinyang, and we have signed a peace agreement with the Kingdom of Jinyang!
But the Kingdom of Jinyang betrayed us. For such a country, it is just used to set an example! To establish the prestige of our country!"
Liu Xinyu nodded: "Yes, but we didn't think comprehensively enough!"
After a while, the guards set off with Liu Xinyu's order.
Zhang Hao asked a few more questions, and they were basically the same. The Kingdom of Zhoushan was almost finished; with the continuous defeats, more masters left the Kingdom of Zhoushan and fled to the Kingdom of Qingyun; this in turn led to the Kingdom of Zhoushan
More weakened.
Although the Kingdom of Yanyun further north still has a certain fighting capacity, it is now in a state of isolation. Especially the two countries in the north of the Kingdom of Yanyun actually colluded and took the opportunity to attack the Kingdom of Yanyun!
However, the Kingdom of Yanyun turned out to be somewhat responsible and resolutely sealed the border, so that the Kingdom of Yanyun has not lost an inch of its territory so far!
Zhang Hao was surprised when he heard about the situation in the Kingdom of Yanyun, "Who is the commander-in-chief of the northern part of the Kingdom of Yanyun?"
Prime Minister Zhao Duo said, "It's General Murong Shan! Murong Shan has always insisted on uniting the forces of the six Western countries to fight against the East. Therefore, since the five countries joined forces, Murong Shan has asked himself to guard the north of the Kingdom of Yanyun, until today!"
Now, half of the remaining dragon and horse cavalry in Yanyun Kingdom are in his hands."
Zhang Hao heard this and was in awe, "This person should be surrendered. But the conventional surrender method should not be used.
I think His Majesty should come forward and invite him personally."
Liu Xinyu nodded: "I will. I will treat such generals as national soldiers."
Zhang Hao continued, "I have an idea about the nobles of various countries. We should divide them and draw them together, and we cannot catch them all in one fell swoop.
It is undeniable that nobles will seriously erode national resources and the foundation of the country. But not all nobles are like this.
If we kill them all indiscriminately, not to mention it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is more likely to completely disrupt the bottom class of society, which will also be extremely detrimental to our country's future rule.
We should win over those with good reputations and industrial and commercial tendencies and provide them with certain technical support and support.
Even the industrial and commercial classes in various countries, those with a bad reputation, should take the opportunity to clean up a group. Once the war is over, it will be inconvenient to clean up. And take the opportunity to kill the domestic industrial and commercial classes!"
After a pause, Zhang Hao continued, "The foundation of aristocratic families, sect nobles, etc. is the land. This time we will not kill them, but the land must be nationalized! In this way, their roots can be cut off and forced to We must take the road of industrial and commercial development.
And we should lead the way for them, not let them have no way to go. We lead them along and lead their development by the nose.
Now that a large number of old equipment has been eliminated in China, these can be sold to them at high prices.
Although technology has spread now, it is not that simple to transform the technology into actual equipment.
During this period, our exports will increase and our orders will skyrocket. Everyone, be prepared. Prices, export tariffs, etc. may be slightly raised, and this can be used to divide surrounding countries."
Everyone discussed for a long time, and after determining the national strategy, they talked about Xinglin Hall.
This time, Zhou Jue was a little embarrassed.
It was Hu Yinglan who came out to explain:
"The most famous thing about the Danyang Kingdom is the Red Mansion. The Red Mansion mainly recruits female disciples from the Danyang Kingdom, but it will also be selected from Western countries.
The Red Mansion has a long history, far exceeding the history of the Kingdom of Danyang. Over the years, female disciples of the Red Mansion have been getting married, and most of them are from wealthy families or masters.
Although the influence formed over the years is not obvious openly, it cannot be underestimated secretly!
Preliminary estimates indicate that at least 30% of large Western families are related to the Red Mansion.
The relationship between the Red Mansion and the Red Mansion can even reach the countries in the East. In the transformation stage of the relationship, there are probably no less than five people!
Now these people are paying attention to us either openly or covertly!”
When Zhang Hao heard this, his head suddenly got big, "There is such a sect in this world... This... is simply shameless!"
"Yes, I feel shameless too!" Liu Xinyu sneered, with disdain on his lips, "The founder of the Red Mansion may be a smart man, but his methods are indeed disgusting. But this method is indeed effective!
Now, it can be said that a single move affects the whole body, and we have not yet come up with effective means!"
Zhang Hao glanced at Zhou Jue and said, "Mr. Zhou, if I eradicate the Red Building, what do you think?"
Zhou Jue smiled bitterly, "Then...how about giving me a chance to be a hero to save the beauty?"
"No prospects!" Ding Kui, the left general of the Imperial Guard, sneered and then stopped talking.
Zhou Jue glared. Ding Kui continued to close his eyes and rest.
Zhang Hao laughed and said, "Minister Zhou, please be patient. Please listen to me. The existence of the Red Mansion is the greatest harm to the country. Because it involves too many areas, and as a women's sect, the disciples of the Red Mansion will
Keep spreading out.
In this way, it will become the country’s biggest loophole!
This is absolutely not allowed!
Therefore, for the sake of national interests, the Red Mansion must be removed!"
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
…
Everyone agreed. In the end, Zhou Jue had to slowly nod. Yes, the Red Mansion involves too many countries and cannot be clearly involved with other countries. Moreover, the disciples of the Red Mansion will continue to marry outside, which will inevitably destroy the technology of the Qixia Country.
Wealth and even information are constantly being taken away. This alone is enough to sentence the Red Mansion to death!
What's more, the Red Mansion is not clearly involved with various countries, and it is a typical representative of the wallflower! It has also attracted a large number of nobles, which violates Her Majesty the Queen's taboo! Such a Red Mansion must be cleared.
However, the Red Mansion is too involved, and it is not a simple matter to clear it out! It is obviously not possible to do it forcefully.
Facing everyone's inquiries, Zhang Hao smiled, "We can be soft! Industry and commerce are a very good tool. Doing business, like war, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists!"
After several big losses, Xuanzhen Sect couldn't hold on!
Not to mention a small red building!
It is also very simple for a hero to save a beauty. In the end, Xinglintang will come forward and acquire the Red Mansion. How simple!"
