Chapter 198: Old Friends Are Enemies

In the hall, the champion Hou was silent for a long time, infected by the majestic and bleak oath. He has been fighting outside all the year round, and he can better understand the courage of the Son of Heaven to defend the country and the death of the king.

At this time, Zhuge Yuanba then asked: "Your Highness, if you inherit the Great Unification in the future, and you have to start a war with the Great Zhao State and the Great Qi State at the same time, what will you do?" ”

"If there must be a war, why not divide it?" Xiao Rui asked.

Champion Hou came back to his senses and explained: "Your Highness doesn't know, the Great Zhao State and the Great Qi State have a blood relationship, and the royal alliances between the two countries are often formed, and the current Great Zhao State Monarch and the Great Qi State Monarch are cousins and nephews in terms of bloodline!" Therefore, if one country is in trouble, the other country will inevitably come to the rescue. The Great Zhao State and the Great Qi State are surrounded by all countries, and if they don't adopt this way, once the national strength is weakened, they will be eaten away by the surrounding powers, just like the Great Yan Kingdom, which is eager to form an alliance with our Great Xia Kingdom! This is also why His Majesty led his troops to the west back then, and fought the Great Zhao Kingdom like a lost dog, but in the end, the Great Qi Kingdom attacked Great Xia and attacked our hinterland, which forced His Majesty to return to the defense and failed to destroy the Great Zhao Kingdom! ”

Xiao Rui nodded, and said without thinking: "If I have to go to war, I have to delay until I have enough certainty, I can't risk the fate of the Great Xia Kingdom, the people and the soldiers!" ”

"It's hard!" Zhuge Yuanba sighed and said, "Your Highness, I can tell you plainly that with the current national strength of the Great Xia Kingdom, it is impossible to start a war against the Great Zhao Kingdom and the Great Qi Kingdom at the same time and win it!" Unless the national strength of the Great Xia Kingdom is doubled! ”

"That's right!" Champion Hou has a better understanding of Xia Guo's national strength, and he can see more thoroughly whether he can start a war.

"What's so hard about that? Vigorously develop the economy and double the national strength of the Great Xia Kingdom, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there are people who have a heart! Xiao Rui said confidently.

Champion Hou shook his head and said directly: "Your Highness, you have never governed a country, but you know how difficult it is to double the strength of the country!" In recent years, the summer has been smooth and rainy, and it has not reached this realm, do you think that your majesty's means will be wise? It's not just paper! Empty talk misleads the country! ”

Zhuge Yuanba nodded and added, "Don't be self-righteous! Especially on top of statecraft! King Xian, you are a very stable person, maintain this merit, and don't fall into blindness and arrogance! This is a big taboo! ”

Seeing the two of them admonishing themselves, Xiao Rui sighed, and couldn't help but say: "Master Hou, Uncle Yuanba, it's not that I am proud that I think my ability is stronger than my father, I know it well, but the national strength I am referring to is doubled or even more, not simply to lightly levy taxes, nor to promote agriculture or reduce commercial taxes, but to reform the production structure!" Now the production methods and types of the Great Xia Kingdom are too outdated and need to be changed! Grow and be more productive! ”

Champion Hou and Zhuge Yuanba frowned, not understanding what Xiao Rui meant, Champion Hou said: "You want to change the law?" Changing the law is not trivial, and if you are not fully prepared, do not carry it out! ”

"That's right! You have to understand that changing the law will bring turmoil to the court pattern! Zhuge Yuanba also reminded.

Xiao Rui was a little speechless, this has something to do with the change, the change is to damage the interests of the family and officials, for example, most of the fertile land in the world is in their hands, and the change is to take away the good land from them and divide it into the people, which is simply to rob them of their money, just like robbing their wives, the family gate valve naturally wants to resist, and it is strange that the law can be changed.

And Xiao Rui's change in production structure is completely different! For example, peasants do not need to be hired farmers, they can earn enough money, they can eat and drink enough, no one cultivates for the family, the land is barren, and after a long time, the imperial court will be nationalized, and there will be very little resistance.

At this time, the champion Hou said again: "Your Highness, even if the way you said is successful, the national strength will be doubled, and it will not be easy to defeat the Great Zhao and the Great Qi Kingdom!" After all, it takes a huge population and combat power! ”

"I understand, but when our means exceed the enemy's imagination, our combat effectiveness will no longer be determined by numbers, and then not to mention the Great Qi Kingdom and the Great Zhao Kingdom, even the Six Nations Alliance, we will not be afraid! That's why I said to prepare, wait until we're ready! Xiao Rui said confidently.

Champion Hou frowned deeply, glanced at Zhuge Yuanba, and then said: "Your Highness, the Six Nations Alliance, how powerful it is, it can't be defeated with your mouth!" ”

At this moment, Champion Hou felt that Xiao Rui was too proud, even outrageously proud, and a little conceited. This is not a good thing, once such a person becomes a prince or even an emperor, there will definitely be a big problem!

Zhuge Yuanba was about to speak, Xiao Rui had already understood the voiceover of the champion Hou, so he smiled and asked rhetorically: "Master Hou, Uncle Yuanba, have you ever seen a black powder, and it has the power of opening mountains and cracking stones?" A skull-sized ball of iron filled with black powder, and its explosion is so powerful that it can smash all the enemies standing within two feet? You heard it right, it's all the enemies in range! ”

"Have you ever seen a repeater with ten, twenty, or even fifty bolts?"

"Have you ever seen an ocean-going treasure ship forty-four feet long and eighteen feet wide? Can conquer the turbulent seas, more advanced than the most advanced sea ships in the Great Xia Kingdom today? ”

"Have you ever seen a weapon called "artillery", which is more than long, and functions like a trebuchet, which can fire cannonballs, but it is countless times more powerful than a trebuchet, and it is simple and convenient to operate, small in size and easy to transport, and can be operated by two people in a carriage? ”

"Have you ever heard of a firecracker? Five zhang away, take people's lives? Even if you are a six-rank master, you will be beaten into a sieve! ”

"Have you ever heard of a steam engine?"

......

Xiao Rui said it slowly, but the champion Hou and Zhuge Yuanba were already dumbfounded, they couldn't understand what Xiao Rui was saying at all!

It's as if it's a fantasy!

How can there be those treasures in this world?

"Your Highness, are you daydreaming? How much alcohol did you drink before coming? Zhuge Yuanba couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Rui smiled even more, pretended to be a magic stick, and said leisurely: "Of course I didn't drink alcohol, and I didn't talk nonsense." You don't know, I've sleepwalked through the Divine Realm and seen these artifacts, and the reason why they didn't appear was because our productivity was so low that we couldn't make them! But there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, when we have such an artifact, and then face the Great Zhao Kingdom and the Great Qi Kingdom, if we must go to war, then we must go to war, and destroying them is like trampling on dead ants! At that time, our Great Xia army will inevitably become crushing and sweep Liuhe! ”

After a pause, Xiao Rui got up and arched his hand: "I know that suddenly saying these words is like a tower in the air, ethereal, the two seniors think it is impossible to be normal, but my Seventh Prince of Great Xia, Xiao Rui, is the king of Xian, and I guarantee with my personality and identity that what I said is not false, and the artifact treasures I said will inevitably be presented in my hands!" ”

With the system in hand, coupled with the probability of wishing for the value of wishes, Xiao Rui believes that gunpowder, artillery, Zhuge crossbows, treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty and other treasures that cannot appear in this era will always come out one day!

There are also potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, peppers......

So what's so hard about changing the structure of production?

Is it difficult to defeat the Great Zhao State and the Great Qi State?

When the time comes, see who doesn't like the eye and hit whom! If you don't obediently call the minister Nagong, destroy it! Just erase the country code from the map!

Champion Hou and Zhuge Yuanba's eyes were a little stunned, and they were taken by Xiao Rui's words. The two looked at each other, and they didn't know how to speak.

His Royal Highness, the dignified King Xian, vouches for his personality and identity, can this matter still be a joke?

But Xiao Rui's words had a great impact on the two of them, so the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Xiao Rui sighed, he was still too low-key, according to his imagination, the next is the steam age, the industrialization age, the information age, and there will be cars, airplanes, and Shenzhou 7......

Well, I almost don't believe it, can I still convince the two who have been blindfolded? So Xiao Rui didn't dare to push too hard.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but it still gave the two of them time to think, so Xiao Rui said goodbye first.

After Xiao Rui left, the champion Hou pondered for a while and asked, "You say, have we been deceived by this kid?" Is he scolding us? ”

"He didn't dare!" Zhuge Yuanba believed in it.

"I think so too! But, hey... Could it be that there really is a divine realm? I'd better go into the palace and tell Your Majesty these words as they are!" Champion Hou hurriedly got up and hurried out.

"! Didn't promise it all just now, don't let the third person know! How can you tell Your Majesty! Zhuge Yuanba said angrily.

"You agreed, but I didn't!" Champion Hou actually cheated.

Zhuge Yuanba hurriedly chased after him: "Then I'll go with you!" When you see Your Majesty, you are not allowed to mention me to ask King Xian about the war between the Great Zhao State and the Great Qi State! You're going to say it, I'm in a hurry with you! ”

"You know it's a taboo! Be careful that Your Majesty tears you alive! You still dare to ask King Xian, but Your Majesty is deliberately hiding it from him! Be careful that he sees the clues. Champion Hou's tone was not good.

Zhuge Yuanba sighed and said, "Sooner or later, I will know, why bother." ”

"Your Majesty has his intentions!" Champion Hou said in a deep voice.

The two of them rushed into the palace, saw Queen Xia, and stated today's events, especially those artifacts that they had never heard of.

This time, even Emperor Xia was a little stunned, and after a while, Emperor Xia said: "Let's wait and see!" ”

Emperor Xia is also a mortal, even if he is intelligent, he can't think through the future scientific and technological achievements. So we can only wait and see what happens.

If it is really as Xiao Rui said, then the future Great Xia Kingdom may be able to create a prosperous era that has never been before.

So, why not have hope?

After the champion Hou and Zhuge Yuanba left, Emperor Xia was stunned for a long time, and then raised his hand, Yan Xiaoxiao presented the pen to him.

Emperor Xia splashed ink and wrote in cursive:

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!"

"Dead words are not good, and sadness is too heavy. The Great Xia royal family doesn't have to die, it's a big deal to make a comeback! Xia Huang smiled, picked up the pen again, drew a thick stroke on the handwriting, and stopped scribbling this text.
