Lu Bing heard Liu Shouyou say this, and he also nodded: "Well said, keep talking." ”

Liu Shouyou was praised by the Governor of Lu, glanced at Yan Hong proudly, and continued: "The major event of opening the sea is about to happen, so my Jinyi Official Academy should take advantage of this great opportunity to set up a station in the East and the West and send people to spy on the military situation. Thinking that the overseas foreigners, relying on the strength of the ships and artillery, sooner or later they will inevitably set up troops on the border, force the imperial court to declare themselves vassals to the Yiren, plunder my wealth and children, and even forcibly occupy land in our Heavenly Dynasty and Shenzhou to colonize their people. Moreover, Xia Guan once heard the words of the stranger, that the Dongna foreign people are even more ferocious, coveting my Central Plains flower world, sooner or later there will be a Kou N land, slaughter of my people, and even half of the rivers and mountains have fallen, the first in ancient and modern times. Since I am a soldier of the Son of Heaven, I should take precautions to spy on the enemy's reality first, so as to keep the enemy out of the country. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, one hundred battles will not be defeated, since the actions of the Eastern and Western thieves have been discovered by me. When he invades again, we will fight him head-on, and we will make him not return, so as to save the country from suffering from the trouble! ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he squirted out the tea again, but fortunately, he was quick and had to block it tightly, only wetting his sleeve. Liu Shouyou's family is really a person who has crossed the gods, and he can't say that he is sitting upright. Now we are preparing for the Opium War and the War Against Japan. But this vision is really a bit ......

Lu Bing didn't know the history of this later life, and after listening to this bold statement, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Liu Yanshi, you have been thinking about it behind closed doors at home these days, so did you think of these things?" ”

Liu Shouyou said: "No." It doesn't stop there. The Metropolitan Governor, the lower officials have already drawn up seventeen measures for setting up Western offices at home, and they will be implemented accordingly. It will definitely allow me to stand on my feet in the West. Spying on the military of another country. ”

Lu Bingjian raised his eyebrows. Waiting for a seizure. Yan Hong suddenly spoke: "Brother Liu, by asking, do you know which countries in the West are there now?" ”

Liu Shouyou sneered and said, "What's so difficult about this. England, France, Russia, Spain, Portugal and a few other countries. Among them, Spain is the most powerful, but according to the stranger, it will not take a few decades, Spain will have to suffer a lot, and then the Dutch will be dominant. ”

In fact, at that time, Ivan IV, the Grand Duke of Moscow, had just been crowned the first tsar, and Russia had only begun to expand from Tatar rule, and its national strength could not be compared with Austria and other German powers. It is also not as strong as Poland-Lithuania and other large Eastern European countries. Of course, the immortal knew little about European history, so he had to talk nonsense about a few famous ones in later generations. Yan Hong almost didn't know anything about it, and he couldn't find fault with him.

However, Yan Hong didn't fight with him on this, and only smiled: "Brother Liu really has seen it." The countries mentioned are all far away in the land of Taixi, thousands of miles away. I'm waiting to set up a guard there, how will the message be delivered? As it comes and goes, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will be an emergency military situation, and it will become an invalid military situation. Not to mention, no matter who the messenger is sent to. It's all the same as the distribution of the army, all the officers and commanders in our guard. How many are willing to go? ”

He thought to himself: Liu Shouyou must have been fooled and lame by the traverser, and there was no one in the country he said. Heavenly Kingdom, Korea, Ryukyu and other countries do not mention, but they mention England and France. The traverser is also unreliable, in the Ming Dynasty, he pondered how to deal with the opium war hundreds of years later, and there was really no time to worry about it.

Lu Bing nodded and said, "What Yan said is very true. How many people have heard of the countries that Liu Baishi said? I don't know where it is, how to set up a health center. Not to mention the language barrier and different customs, how can you explore the military situation? If it is really explored, it cannot be passed on, and such things will not be mentioned again in the future. ”

Liu Shouyou said that since he was photographed by Lu Bing, he should choose to shut up. But when he saw Yan Hong looking at him with a sneer, he couldn't help but feel angry. No matter who looks down on you, you can't lose to this wife-stealing enemy.

At the moment, Liu Shouyou didn't care about it: "All the governors are Rongyu!" Now that the dynasty is peaceful, it is indeed impossible to see the importance of setting up a guard station. However, one day, when there is a war with the foreign Yi, the transmission of military information will be particularly important at that time. As for the transmission of information, it is indeed difficult at the moment, but we only need to send people to the local area first, set up the guard, and this generation will lay a good foundation and lay a foundation. In a few hundred years, most of the time there will be a way to deliver information in a timely manner, and it is not known. ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he couldn't help but cheer in his heart. This guy has been washed by the traverser so thoroughly, he already thinks of the industrial age, is he going to shoot a telegram or make a phone call? It is really a long-term vision and a thousand years of business.

But what's the deal with in the spectators? Whoever does the work wants results, you have to say that this generation has no achievements, but lay the foundation, and the next generation can harvest, then everyone can accept it. For example, Lu Bing, if a major event needs to be done for one or two decades, Lu Bing himself can't enjoy success, and it is good for his son-in-law Yan Hong to enjoy it. But Liu Shouyou suddenly supported his life hundreds of years later, at least more than ten generations, who does the ghost know who was the Jinyi handsome at that time, and who were the hall officials? Unless Lu Bing is crazy, how can he listen to this nonsense, brave the great annoyance, and painstakingly deploy manpower, material resources, and financial resources, in order to enjoy the credit for his successors more than ten generations later?

Anyway, they had already fallen out with each other, Yan Hong was happy to seize every opportunity to suppress Liu Shouyou, and sneered at the moment: "Brother Liu said a good joke!" For more than ten generations, my Yan's bones have also turned to ashes. At that time, who else will be able to see you? Our generation will be scolded for contributing money and efforts, so that people from more than ten generations will benefit. Such a high opinion is difficult to recognize. ”

There was a conductor on the side, Zhuge Zhi said with a smile: "What Yan Gongzi said is very true, why did my generation bother to make wedding clothes for others. Not to mention, who can say for sure what has happened in the past few hundred years, can you expect it to be really as the stranger said? Liu Yanshi's ambition is good, but with this perseverance, it is better to take your family to dig up the mound on the West Mountain, which can also be regarded as a contribution to the Jingshi. I calculate that your old brother will have grandchildren and grandchildren, and he will probably be able to produce a little faster than the Western Guard's success. ”

Mu Denggao didn't know when he opened his eyes, and smacked his lips and said, "I only dreamed of old decay." When he dreamed that there was a turtle king bastard, he asked the old man's grandson to go to Java and buy a sacred cow. said that in the future, it will be able to benefit more than ten generations of my great-grandchildren. Angry old man, I can't even sleep. If this turtle had been in front of me, I would have stoned it to death. The old man's descendants are fine, why should they be sent to Java? The grandsons have been sent out, and there are still great-grandsons, who can say? ”

Liu Shouyou knew that he was referring to Sang scolding Huai's scolding on the idle street, and this old man and Yan Hong were angry in the same nostril, which was not a secret in the guard, this was to help Yan Hong. But although this old thing is old and incompetent, he is old, senior, and used to being a turtle, and he is quite good at forming a gang to worship, calling friends, and even the governor of Lu Dadu does not send him to work, if he scolds him, it is not interesting to ask for himself. Liu Shouyou had to hold back secretly.

Seeing that Liu Shouyou didn't answer, Mu Denggao became even more arrogant, and yawned again: "Later, I thought about it again, this turtle is not a stupid person, why do you have such a bad idea?" Aha, it turns out that if the old man's grandson goes to Java, he can fill his own pocket with the money and food that is spent in the middle! ”

This old man's words were very heart-wrenching. Liu Shouyou is in charge of the verification of money and grain for various Western guards, and this is currently a joke-like position, no one has no money, not even subordinates. But if Jinyi Wei really set up a guard in the East and West, his position will become very hot. Mu Denggao's words alluded to Liu Shouyou's deliberate proposal in order to seize power and ask for money for himself, and in order to reap benefits for himself, he did not hesitate to send Jinyiwei's colleagues to the east and west to be with the Yi people.

This time, I stepped on everyone's corns. Who is good in the Heavenly Empire, and goes to live in the land? I heard that the climate of Nayi is dry, the grains are not grown, and the Yi people grind beef and mutton into flour as food, and they can't pull out the stool after eating, so they have to import the tea of the Celestial Empire to solve it. This kind of place where you can't pull out, who the hell loves to suffer living crimes! Liu Shouyou actually didn't have such a desire to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits, but as soon as the old man said it, everyone looked at him with a little more disdain, which made him eager to spray blood to prove his innocence.

Lu Bing saw that Liu Shouyou had become the target of public criticism, and said with a smile: "Forget it." Liu Yanshi is also kind-hearted, don't say more, Mu Lao, you continue to dream, rest assured, no one will send your grandson to Java. There was another burst of laughter.

When the laughter subsided, Yan Hongzheng said: "Governor Lu, the lower officials also have something to say." ”

Lu Bingdao: "Speak." ”

Yan Hong coughed and said, "The lower officials think that what Brother Liu said is not useless. If you go to the chaff, you can also find a few words. It is imperative to open the sea and two oceans, and this is true. But it is not necessary to say that there is no need to set up guards overseas, we Jinyi Guard, we are the Eagle Dog of the Son of Heaven, the Holy Army, and we have to guard against someone digging the corner of the Son of Heaven and using the brains of the Heavenly Family. If you are too ambitious, ignore the big things in front of you, and instead pull the light 10,000 miles away, it will be boring. ”

Lu Bing said: "Yes, what to do in front of you?" ”

Yan Hong said: "Since Jinyiwei is the emperor's pro-army, he should share the emperor's worries." Why did the emperor open the sea? It is nothing more than to collect commercial taxes and make up for state use. If taxes cannot be collected after the opening of the sea, it will not only be of no benefit to the country, but will cause a lot of trouble. However, when the subordinate inspected the military garrison in the southeast, he had dealings with coastal merchants. They smuggle openly, on a large scale, and do not avoid the government. Yangzhou salt merchants colluded with hundreds of households in Jinyi, did evil, and had no official government, all of which existed. I think it's better to focus on the problem at hand than to focus on the marginal areas. It is a great achievement to solve the problem in front of us and let the commercial tax be collected well.
