Chapter 273: Secret Weapon
Feng Shanyue didn't answer Ming Zhao's question about having a child after all, Ming Zhao understood her temper and refused to force her. Although the two couples have returned to their former peace, there is always a place in their hearts that they dare not touch, and they can't say it openly, and they dare not say it openly.
Fu Yue was given the name Fu by Ming Zhao, got rid of the slave status, was named the prime minister, and together with the national teacher Gan Pan, assisted Ming Zhao in governing the Great Shang. And those inspectors who were sent to various places also brought the information they had obtained back to Yindu, and the noble family panicked for a while.
"Another old minister who has returned home!"
Ming Zhao gently threw the bamboo slip in his hand on the desk and said in a relaxed tone. Feng Shanyue was sitting next to her studying the paper sent by Ding Maoqiu, although her original intention was to let him make a simple version of the sanitary napkin, but she was too tired of writing on bamboo slips or cloth, so she asked him to make a small amount of paper for her own use.
"After all, the old ministers who fought against the senior brother in the court are almost gone, right?"
"Yes," Ming Zhao smiled and took a sip of tea, "It's better for you to think of a way, if it weren't for exposing the privacy of these people, I'm afraid they would still refuse to give in!"
"However, this can only be an expedient measure, and it is really these old ministers who are too old-fashioned to come up with this solution. But this method is easy to cause distrust between monarchs and ministers, so after the senior brother controls the government, it is better to use it sparingly. ”
"Of course, most of the officials in the DPRK and China are young people now, and they are bent on making achievements, so I will naturally let them try. I have also transferred back all those inspectors and appointed them to be local officials. ”
Feng Shanyue smiled, "They were originally people who judged others right and wrong, but now that they are magistrates, they have to be judged by others, they must be trembling and walking on thin ice!"
"That's good! It's better to be afraid than to be lawless!" Ming Zhao leaned over to Feng Shanyue's side, "What is this thing that Ding Maoqiu sent you for?"
"This is a good thing, but I don't dare tell you!"
Ming Zhao gently pinched her earlobe, "You fiddled in front of me for a long time, don't you just want to tell me?
Seeing through her thoughts, Feng Shanyue was not verbose, and whispered, "This thing is called paper, and it can be used to write things." ”
After speaking, she took the quill pen she had brought, dipped it in ink, and wrote a word on it. Ming Zhao's eyes lit up, this was much easier than carving bamboo slips.
"Is this thing easy to keep?"
"It's not good, I'm afraid of insects, water, fire, and moisture, but it's very convenient to use. ”
Ming Zhao frowned, "It's so troublesome?"
"The materials used are not unusual, but they are time-consuming and the process is more cumbersome. However, that's not what I'm going to say to you," Feng Shanyue picked up the paper, rolled it into a small tube, and then put it into a small bamboo tube, and asked Butterfly Dance to carry a cage in, "This is the carrier pigeon that I asked Uncle Ding to train, you see, I put this bamboo tube on its feet and tie it, and it can fly far away with the bamboo tube." ”
"Great!" Ming Zhao also took a piece of paper and tried its weight, and it was as light as a cicada's wings, "This is very convenient for communication!"
"Yes, senior brother is wise!" Feng Shanyue hurriedly slapped a horse**** Not long after you succeeded to the throne, the world is undecided, and many Fang countries are ready to move, once the war breaks out, this thing will come in handy!"
Ming Zhao nodded again and again, this pigeon is small, flies fast, and is not easy to detect, it is best to use it to send letters. And this thing made by Feng Shanyue is the best weapon for transmitting messages!
"I've decided to make paper on a large scale right away!"
"Don't, don't, don't!" Feng Shanyue hurriedly stopped him, joking, large-scale manufacturing, isn't it equivalent to disrupting history?
"Senior brother, you think, this is our secret weapon. If such a good thing is made on a large scale, it will increase the risk of leaking out, and when the time comes, we can use it, and the enemy can also use it, so what advantages do we have? You know, on the battlefield, time is life, and whoever conveys the news quickly, the faster the reaction, the greater the chance of victory!"
Ming Zhao originally felt that this thing could be used in many places, but Feng Shanyue's words were indeed reasonable, "That's okay, then use it on a small scale first, and then make it in large quantities when the world is too peaceful." ”
Feng Shanyue laughed dryly, thinking, let's talk about it then!
"Speaking of war," Ming Zhao Zhengse said, "Yesterday there was news that the five major tribes of Pakistan were united by a man named Fan Yue, and checkpoints were set up on the water and land routes of Pakistan, and heavy taxes were levied on merchants from all over the country. The merchant groups of other countries complained a lot, and some of the lords of the country have complained to me and asked me to stop Pakistan. ”
"Was this the same in Pakistan before?"
"No, Ba is divided into five tribes: Ba Clan, Fan Clan, Xiang Clan, Zheng Clan, and Yue Clan, and the original five tribes were not in harmony, so in order to make their own tribes profitable, they all opened their roads to the merchant groups and let them pass through their own tribes. Who knew that after Fan Yue unified the five tribes, he actually changed his way of doing things in the past and started to block the road and rob. Therefore, I have decided to personally lead the troops to the conquest, and during my war, you must obediently stay in the palace, and wait for me to return, and do not wander around. ”
"Are you personally asking for it?
Ming Zhao nodded, "The terrain of Pakistan is complicated, and the merchant groups from all over the country have to pass through their territory. Fan Yue did this, obviously not taking me as a merchant in his eyes. I must personally go to the conquest and let those in the world who look down on me understand that I Zhaojun is not a cowardly and incompetent person!"
"Senior brother, you are the monarch, you should sit in the court, why don't you let me go!"
"You?" Ming Zhao hurriedly shook his head, "You still stay in the palace honestly, I'm more at ease! If you go to the Fire Phoenix Country, I can't eat and sleep well, and I dare you go to war?" Then my hair will definitely be half white first!"
"Are people so unreliable?" Feng Shanyue pouted, "I have fought with the people of Quchi Country and won a battle!
Ming Zhao touched her hair, "It's not that I don't trust your abilities, but I can't stand it when I think that you may be in danger." Don't worry, I'm also a person who has learned the art of war and formation from my master, and it's not difficult for me to go into battle!"
"Shall we go with us, then?"
"Together?"
"Yes, wouldn't it be more reassuring that I could go into battle and help you, and stay by your side, so that you could see me every day?"
"However, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, I'm afraid that you will be injured, so forget it, I feel more at ease if you stay in the palace!"
Feng Shanyue squinted at him and didn't speak, but the threat in her eyes was Chi Guoguo's. Anyway, if you don't let me go, I'll go secretly!
Ming Zhao looked at her for a long time, and finally raised his hands, "Okay, okay, I surrender, let's go together!"
