Can you really spend money to get it out?

Will you still do business in the future?

He, the prince, is it necessary to be so cowardly?

Zhu Houzhao asked himself!

To be honest, the eight-hundred-year-old ghost has seen too much, so he has more scruples. Now, he just wants to keep a low profile!

However, the prince of the East Palace is already a high-profile existence, how to keep a low profile?

The princes of all dynasties wished they could leave their names in all directions and be admired by thousands of people...... Why does this palace have to be low-key?

Besides, even if the palace is low-key...... Are there still fewer people staring at this palace?

How many people patrol the city and don't inquire about the news of the palace every day?

As long as the main palace goes out from Banzai Mountain, whether it is to Dade Bank or to Yulinwei, the route of this palace, how long it has been walking, and who are the people, these guys keep the door clear!

Even, what Hongu ate, drank, and said, these guys will do everything they can to find out!

In the Royal ...... If you want to be low-key, it's Hongu who thinks wrong!

Then, as you wish, this palace will be high-profile!

Zhu Houzhao ordered: "An Lu, you arrange for Boss He to go to Yulinwei!" This palace, go to the capital in person! ”

So, An Lu led He Changsheng to Yulinwei.

But Zhu Houzhao really returned to the capital in a "high-profile" manner.

He asked Mu Bin to dress him up, disguised himself as another person, and only after it was almost dark did he enter Beijing.

Because!

He was going to meet someone, someone he felt was negotiable.

One of the three major auxiliary ministers of the dynasty, the crown prince and the prince, and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion!

Li Dongyang!

Of course, Zhu Houzhao went to see Li Dongyang, not because Li Dongyang was an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, let alone because he was his master.

Rather, this person is a realist from a martial arts family!

Yes, this is Zhu Houzhao's evaluation!

Among the cabinet ministers, there is a rumor - Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, Xie Gongyou Kankan!

The word Mou is talking about Li Dongyang.

Zhu Houzhao wants to win Li Dongyang!

In his opinion, if this witty, calculating, and knowledgeable realist among Confucianism, the rarest realists, could not understand his intentions and could not express his support, he would simply go to the prison of the Criminal Department to rob the prison!

Zhu Houzhao put his heart sideways, even if someone knew that the prince did it, who would dare to arrest him!

waited until the lights were on before Li Dongyang returned home.

His youngest son, Li Zhaofan, brought him dinner and everything for bathing, and after Li Dongyang finished, he went into the study.

———— subparagraph————

"Master Li, this palace is almost impatient to wait......"

A delicate face withdrew its disguise, and the person who came took off his hood.

The prince of the East Palace, Zhu Houzhao!

Li Dongyang was taken aback: "His Royal Highness the Prince, ...... are you?"

Zhu Houzhao put his hand to his mouth, and Li Dongyang immediately reacted - Prince, is this an important matter?

The wisdom of this prince and master is not covered, and he immediately ordered outside the study: "Without my order, no one is allowed to stop outside the study!" ”

The people outside quickly dispersed.

Only then did Zhu Houzhao sit in Li Dongyang's position and brew tea.

Li Dongyang couldn't cry or laugh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's favorite thing to do was to always grab his stool, whether it was in his office, in his study, or elsewhere.

Because, he is one of Zhu Houzhao's teachers, when Zhu Houzhao was six years old, he beat his hand!

And then...... It's a habit!

Zhu Houzhao looked deeply at this old man who would be called "Wenzheng" in the future!

This person is upright, whether it is Zhang Heling, Zhang Yanqing, or Liu Jin, or other royal relatives and dignitaries, no one has not been involved by him!

Let's talk about Zhang Heling, Li Dongyang was almost killed directly by Queen Zhang, but he participated again and again, but he just didn't give up.

In addition, the king of Shandong Lu and the Shenggong of Yan, who occupied fertile land and wantonly opened mountains to extract minerals, were participated by this scholar for four or five consecutive years!

But on the contrary, his daughter married the next generation of Yan Shenggong.

This person is known as the "Prime Minister of Companion Food", but when the two friends resigned from the auxiliary cabinet ministers one after another, they desperately dragged the broken car of Daming to prevent them from falling off the cliff.

said that this old man was not famous, and he knew how to cultivate his anger, but when he learned that his nickname was Wenzheng, he could still get up from the hospital bed and thank him.

This is a contradictory man, he can hide in the abyss, or he can soar for nine days; He can be full of friends, but he can also not speak of power; He can move every nine years, and he can soar to the sky.

He can make compromises, and he can also thunder and cut the grass to the roots!

This is a person who is extremely wise and extremely deep, able to endure what others can't endure, regardless of reputation, just to achieve the goal!

Zhu Houzhao spoke softly: "Master Li, if this palace can bring millions of cultivated cattle to the Ming Dynasty...... What do you think? ”

Li Dongyang almost jumped up from his chair.

As one of the highest-ranking ministers, he certainly knew all the data of the Ming Dynasty.

The population of the Ming Dynasty at this time was nearly 50 million.

But the Ming Dynasty's cultivated cattle, together with Jiangnan, are only 400,000 on the register!

Li Dongyang once estimated that even if the hidden Dingkou ploughing cattle are counted, they will never exceed 500,000 heads!

This has also created a status quo - the Ming Dynasty is not without land, nor is it impossible to open up wasteland.

However, if you want to cultivate these lands well, you don't have manpower or animal power!

But His Highness said that he could bring a million ploughing cattle...... Your Highness is not joking!

But so many ploughing cattle...... There's only one place that has!

Grassland!

So, what does His Highness want to do?

What's so difficult about Your Highness?

Li Dongyang reacted instantly!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace came in person, and he was secretive, and sneaked into the house in a low-key manner, inevitably asking him to be a bird.

Even, the harm of this incident to him himself...... I'm afraid it's huge!

So much so that the crown prince of the dynasty must be careful!

But Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Your Highness is afraid that what is the difficulty, and it will be counted on the old man's head?" ”

Zhu Houzhao praised!

This top wise man of the Ming Dynasty saw the problem clearly at once.

He was only confused by this great news for a very short time!

But Zhu Houzhao no longer talked about ploughing cattle, but asked a question: "With the wisdom of Master Li, he must be able to teach the palace, since the Han Dynasty, and to the former Song Dynasty, why is it more and more irreversible when a Han is a Wuhu?" ”

Li Dongyang took a deep look at Zhu Houzhao and pondered.

What Zhu Houzhao said came from Chen Tang of the Western Han Dynasty: "The Hu people's blades are simple and blunt, and the bows and crossbows are unfavorable, and the former is one Han soldier with five people." Today, it is quite skillful to hear the Han, but it is still three and one. ”

This adult is of course familiar with this history.

Don't look at the Huaxia articles blowing all over the sky, today they will fight the Western Regions, tomorrow they will chase the death to the north, and they will seal the wolf.

But there is a fact that cannot be concealed - since the Qin Dynasty, the unbearable fact that the Chinese people in the upper steppe have been getting worse and worse.

In the Qin period, if you send a small soldier at will, you can wantonly beat the Xiongnu in front of tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops.

On the occasion of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qu was sick and sealed the wolf Juxu, and the Han Dynasty became a Wuhu, which is a historical fact that countless people are enthusiastic about.

Even if there were wars during the Three Kingdoms period, Gongsun Zhan, a white horse servant, could chase Wu Heng like a rabbit.

By the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing's 6,000 men were able to defeat the proud Turks who had returned to Chang'an three years ago, and re-enter Chang'an like his grandson to surrender.

But in the Song Dynasty, there were often several Han people, but they couldn't beat a single Hu person.

It wasn't until the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang that he trained an invincible cavalry in the world, and he really overturned the grassland with a one-to-one battle loss.

However, after becoming an ancestor, the Tumubao Incident, the million-strong army of Wara was trapped in Beiping, the humiliating trade, and the repair of Jiayuguan...... It all highlights the fact that Daming was once again beaten by the grassland.

———— subparagraph————

The Hu people's blades are simple and blunt, and the bows and crossbows are unfavorable, and the former is a Han soldier with five people. Today, it is quite skillful to hear the Han, but it is still three and one.

The meaning of this sentence highlights a fact - technology leakage!

When the Hu people mastered the iron-smelting technology invented in Huaxia, the era of the Five Hu Dynasty became history.

Of course, there is also the factor of Confucian cowardice.

But neither of them dared to say about this factor!

Li Dongyang is naturally very familiar with this history.

However, he also knows it but doesn't know why!

To put it simply, he knew that the grasslands had also learned to smelt iron, and even more so to farm.

But this is the real reason why the grassland can win against China?

Why did the Song Dynasty suddenly lose its advantage?

Seems...... The steppe people opened a plug-in, and suddenly they rose!

But Zhu Houzhao told him: "Since the Qin Dynasty, bronze has been replaced with steel; As for the former Song Dynasty, coal for carbon! ”

Li Dongyang was puzzled.

Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to explain in detail!

Because carbon steelmaking can produce better quality steel, coal steelmaking seems to save wood, and even can produce higher temperatures; However, there are some impurities in the coal that can only be found in later generations, which causes the blade to be easy to break!

Until today, coal steelmaking has completely replaced carbon steelmaking...... What are the consequences?

It is no longer possible to refine the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty, and it can no longer refine the steel weapon!

As a result, Huaxia has lost its greatest reliance!

Except for the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the entire Chinese nation recovered the rivers and mountains of China with great determination and courage, exchanging blood for blood and life for life.

But in the later period, when Confucianism came to power, he vigorously advocated that scholars and doctors should share the world with the emperor, advocate male cultivation and female weaving, advocate poetry and book heirlooms, advocate opposition to mechanical ornamentation, strange and pornographic skills, advocate intimacy and concealment, advocate light business and heavy agriculture, advocate the prohibition of the sea, and advocate foolishness.

What happened?

A drastic decline in combat effectiveness, of course!

But what Zhu Houzhao can say is only one factor, weapons!

Weapons are lagging behind!

Li Dongyang also immediately understood what Zhu Houzhao meant-this palace can smelt the best weapons, just like when Xuanfu was in the palace, he could cut off the sword of a hundred refinements with a knife at will.

And, large-scale smelting is possible!

At this time, Zhu Houzhao said what he meant.

He wants to use fetal medicine to exchange for ploughing cattle!

He is not afraid of the expansion of the population of the steppe, and he is not afraid of the cavalry of the steppe!

Li Dongyang sighed.

Who's afraid?

The old man's parents, which one is not from a martial arts family!

The old man's family entered Beijing with Hongwu, went through Jinan Jinan Wei and Yanshanwei, and in the battle of Jingjing, there were fewer people who died in the civil engineering incident?

But who is afraid of death in the Li family?

But the evolution of things is really as His Highness said?

You must know that the fundamental reason why the grassland has never occupied the Central Plains is the population!

When Genghis Khan attacked Europe, the real Mongols numbered only a few tens of thousands.

At that time, what would have happened if the Mongols had hundreds of thousands?

The whole world, the cliffs are full of Mongolian pastures!

No ifs, 100%!

"Your Highness, you have a big problem for the old man......"

When Li Dongyang said this sentence quietly, Zhu Houzhao had already disappeared and had long since disappeared.

There is only a cup of tea left, slowly emitting heat.
