Chapter 244: Prelude to the Great Change
Qin Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Tall!
Your Majesty's move is really high!
How should Jin Guo reply?
You must know that the alliance of Jincheng was led by the Jin State, and first of all, in the name of righteousness, the Jin State had to take the lead in complying with it, and the Cang State took the initiative.
The reason is that it is not that Cangguo is unwilling to go to attack Wei, but that this guy Shengguo has violated the covenant, and Cangguo is too busy to take care of himself and can't spare his hands and feet!
Aren't you going to support Sheng Guo in Jinguo?
How do you express that?
If you support Shengguo, Cangguo will not be able to join the Wei Alliance.
If you support Cangguo, then Shengguo will definitely not be guaranteed, and the strategic goal of Cangguo will be achieved.
It is equivalent to throwing a dilemma to the Jin Kingdom.
As for the Jin Kingdom's side, whether he will directly tear off the mask and expose his fierce fangs, that's another matter.
"You two, I have given you a task, and the two departments will cooperate to go to Wei to inquire in the name of trade to see how long Wei can last, and privately hint that I, Cangguo, am willing to help Wei."
"Ahh
Yan Hua and Qin Changfeng were shocked at the same time, both of them were old fritters in the officialdom, and they knew very well that they could not rely on the dispute of will when it came to foreign affairs, could it be that His Majesty the Emperor made this decision because of the arrogance of the Jin State?
"Your Majesty, please think again! The Jin State is powerful, far from being comparable to the Dong State and the Sheng State, Weichen thinks that this decision must not be made, and the Wei State will be the target of the public! ”
"Isn't my Cangguo now?" Yang Mu had a gloomy face and said: "The Jin Kingdom dares to threaten each other with a break today, and tomorrow it will be able to come to the city, although my Cangguo is small, I am not afraid of it!" ”
"But ......"
"The two adults don't have to worry, it's just that they're just worried about the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, I asked you to go and contact in the name of trade, and be secretive, even if the Jin Kingdom knew about it, it would weigh it. ”
Hearing this, Qin Changfeng nodded: "Your Majesty is right, if the Jin State has the intention to attack me, even if we don't fall to the Wei State, we will be fabricated by the Jin State to crusade against us, just like the alliance against Wei back then." ”
"Yes, Qin Qing can still see it." Yang Mu nodded with satisfaction and said, "At present, the eastern and western borders of the Wei State are besieged by large armies, and we have to contact the Wei State privately, and the only way to do so is to go from the Che State to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven." ”
Yan Hua arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to do, the Mang Kingdom and the Zhu Kingdom have been destroyed, and some people from the royal family are hiding in the caravan and have entered the territory of my Cangguo, I don't know what Your Majesty should do?" ”
"The remnants of the country?" Yang Mu touched his chin and said, "After the Jin State occupied the Mang Kingdom, what actions did you take?" ”
"Slaughtering the city, more than a dozen cities were slaughtered one after another, looting food to support the front line, and now there is a mourning in Mangguo, as for Zhu Guo...... The state of Zhu was destroyed by the joint efforts of the three countries of Ruan, Feng, and Cao, and the situation was complicated, and the ministers could not be determined for the time being. ”
"Then take them for the time being, and treat them with good food and drink, in case you need them in the future." Yang Mu gave instructions and advised: "In the future, the kings of the fallen countries or the main members of the royal family, as long as they come to our country, will be entertained by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and arranged to live in a place to raise them, and they may be able to use them in the future." ”
"Yes!"
"Is there any other news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? For example, in the southern countries, did our caravans go? ”
"This ...... Your Majesty, the southern countries have always been complicated, and there is such a behemoth as the Chu State, which is destined not to be peaceful, as far as the minister knows, the Wu State destroyed the Feng State, and then destroyed the European State, and then a dispute broke out between Wu and Chu, but the monarchs of both sides are interested in resolving the conflict, and it seems that the peace talks are currently underway, and the Yun State in the south has risen rapidly recently, after destroying the Xu State, and then destroying the Tang State, and now it is preparing to destroy the Shi State together with the Chu State. ”
Yang Mu nodded, this is not surprising, there is no unified alliance in the south, and it has always been a verbal echo of the overlord of the Jin State, in general, those monarchs and ministers are living relatively comfortably, as long as a few countries with a sense of distress are in trouble, they will definitely be able to break the existing pattern in the short term.
Now, it has only been two years since the last meeting, and I really don't know what the situation will be like in a few years.
After the two Shangshu retreated, Yang Mu began to ponder.
Cangguo's foundation is too thin, although in the past three years, it has undergone a earth-shaking reform, but there is no doubt that it is still a bit congenital.
The most lacking thing is time.
Is there going to be a great leap forward?
Theoretically speaking, the Great Leap Forward is a feasible method, and the time after the founding of New China was just a deviation, and there was a heart for the Great Leap Forward, but there was no mentality for the Great Leap Forward.
Mentality is very important, and for a country, the most taboo thing about the implementation and reform of government decrees is to be too impatient.
If Cangguo wants to increase productivity in a short period of time, it obviously has to work hard.
And how to do this ruthless effort is very operational.
In the evening, Yang Mu sent an order to the left prime minister Kong Shangxian and the right prime minister Fan Hongji to discuss some matters.
The two prime ministers, coincidentally, mentioned the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Perhaps in the outside world, others don't know the importance of the Ministry of Science and Technology, but the two prime ministers have witnessed with their own eyes how Cangguo has become a member of the vassal states from a backward and closed secession regime, and destroyed the Dong State with one blow, severely damaged the Sheng State, and made all countries look sideways.
Behind all this, of course, the primary contribution is due to His Majesty's reform of the law, but it cannot be ignored that the role played by the Ministry of Science and Technology in it is irreplaceable.
"As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the minister believes that the functions of the Ministry of Science and Technology should be divided, and various research institutes should be set up under it, and the division of labor is responsible for a certain category." Kong Shangxian made a suggestion.
"Yes, Lao Chen also agrees, just like the school set up by the Ministry of Education, there are various disciplines in it, such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc., which specialize in different places, which is more conducive to development."
Yang Mu thought for a moment and asked, "How do you think the two Aiqing should be divided?" ”
"This ...... The minister thought that the Ministry of Industry should follow the example of the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Science and Technology would set up research institutes, such as the War Weapons Institute, the Iron and Steel Institute, and the Agricultural Research Institute...... These things can be separated. ”
"Well, it makes sense, I'm right, I'll call Ouyeel from the Ministry of Science and Technology tomorrow to discuss this matter." Yang Mu waved his sleeves and said, "In addition to the Ministry of Science and Technology, what else do the two Aiqing have?" ”
Fan Hongji stroked his beard and said, "The old minister thinks that the focus is on the military system. ”
"Oh?"
"Soldiers, the weapon of the country, the first few wars of my Cangguo, were forced by the enemy to fight, due to the limitation of national strength, there are always not many soldiers, the minister thinks that this is the case, should be recruited on a large scale to recruit new soldiers, so that after that, I Cangguo will no longer have to be troubled by the number of soldiers within three or five years."
