The emperor has only gradually taken control of the world in recent years, and the transformation of the world has made the emperor forget that he was an iron-blooded soldier in the past.

He gradually found that in the feudal dynasty to transform some paralysis and promote social progress, even if he was the emperor, he could not do it overnight, he could do whatever he wanted, and there were some taboos that he could not touch even if he was an emperor.

Even the changes he made up his mind to promote had to be cautious, for fear of offending the interests of too many strata and causing turmoil in the government and the opposition.

In fact, the emperor has always wanted to restore the previous contention of a hundred schools, but for thousands of years, the foundation of Confucianism's dominant position is even stronger than the emperor's throne, as long as he divulges any intention to reduce the status of Confucianism, even if he has a divine weapon in hand, he will have to be ousted from power by the courtiers.

Emperors can be replaced, but thousand-year-old traditions cannot be broken.

In order to implement his correct ideas, the emperor sometimes compromised, sometimes bribed some courtiers, and was more lenient with the courtiers, and could not talk about killing, which made him forget his unique iron bones and arrogance of generals.

Even if he can't change the world, at least he can make the soldiers on the border better, if he had paid more attention to the soldiers earlier, wouldn't the young general have had to stain the battlefield with blood back then?

As long as he thought of his daughter's pain of piercing his heart, the emperor had no way to forgive himself, and his heart ached.

"Wuyong, go and find Mu Guogong to me, and I will talk to him about how to earn more silver."

The rise of every empire and nation is indispensable to the sorrow and miserable fate of foreign races, the emperor himself is a national idea, years of iron and blood make him almost no longer have the mind of a saint, has moved the mind of letting people be pirates to intercept and kill, after all, the threat of the western empire makes him have to increase his investment in the military.

I don't want to exploit the people of the empire too much, so I naturally have to think of ways to deal with it externally.

The prince put down his chopsticks and didn't understand how he could be involved in the military while eating a good meal? Do you want to summon Mu Guogong? Don't forget that the crown princess Mu is the daughter of Mu Guogong, although Mu Guogong almost doesn't recognize the crown princess!

But how can blood and family affection be easily parted?

Mu Qi understood the emperor's thoughts, and said: "Mu Guogong is very talented in navigation and shipbuilding, I heard that the fleet he went to sea was all ships built by him personally, and the selected navigation route, if Mu Guogong is used by His Majesty, the prestige of the Central Plains Empire will be spread overseas, so that the barbarians will bathe in the emperor's grace." ”

"I not only want to build caravans, but also build warships, and truly do Yang Wei on the sea." The emperor coughed lightly twice, and told Mu Qi, "What I said today is not allowed to be spread outside, it is a matter of imperial secrets, and you must not leak a word, especially not to talk to Mu Wu or Yun'er." ”

Mu Qi was stunned for a moment, "The minister obeys the order." Originally, he didn't plan to tell Mu Guogong, I don't know why Mu Qi's opinion on Mu Guogong is still quite big, Mu Guogong has children and daughters, and he wants to rob him of his daughter-in-law, who can bear this?

He couldn't say that Mu Guogong was not in front of Mu Guogong, so he could only try his best to isolate the opportunity for them to get along, but Mu Guogong had no face and no skin, so he threw the silver ticket when he came to the door, and he was short of silver?

Of course, although Mu Qi's family background is solid, it is still a little worse than Mu Guogong.

"In the future, the threat of the empire may come from the sea, and whoever controls the sea will control the future!"

The emperor muttered to himself, "The Age of Discovery...... I can't afford to leave the empire too far behind. Then he looked at Mu Qi, he shouldn't have a big mouth like Che'er!

Mu Guogong was summoned by the emperor alone, he originally contributed a lot of exclusive technology, after being encouraged by the emperor, Mu Guogong was even more willing to serve the dead, he couldn't write, he couldn't do anything, he did most of his life, relying on his daughter to support the portal, and finally the young general died tragically, Mu Guogong hoped to let Mu Guogong see that he was still useful.

The emperor's posthumous title of the young general made Mu Guogong completely bow to the emperor's feet, and the emperor gave the young general the ultimate mourning, and he was also willing to offer family wealth and technology to the emperor.

"Everyone has a specialty, Mu Guogong, the role of your specialty in the empire is not weaker than that of General Mu!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, the minister doesn't dare to compare with her."

Mu Guogong's eyes were red, and when he mentioned the young general, he still couldn't stop being sad, even if his daughter's soul was still there, but he had become another person, no longer just his daughter, "The silver accumulated by the minister was originally intended to be given to the minister-in-law, and in the eyes of the minister, she is the same as the minister's daughter, but since the emperor intends to raise military expenses, the minister is willing to give all the silver to His Majesty." ”

"I don't need your family resources, and I'm not the emperor who raids the house."

However, after hearing how much silver Mu Guogong planned to contribute, the emperor was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Maritime trade really creates great wealth, and they all say that you are rich and rival the country, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to ......."

Mu Guogong said with a smile: "The minister used to accumulate silver mainly to wait...... Waiting for the young general to ask the minister for silver, but until she died, she never said a soft word to the minister, the minister has been treating the young general badly, if she knows that the minister uses the silver on the soldiers, she will look down on the minister, and the minister will see her well in the future, let her understand, even if the minister is not good, he is romantic, he can't manage family affairs, the minister loves her like all fathers, the minister is proud of her, and hopes that she will be proud of the minister. ”

As for the silver given to Mu Guogong, Mu Guogong had set it aside a long time ago, and now when he shows his loyalty to the emperor, Mu Guogong will certainly not be stingy, and if he wants to survive in the imperial capital, he must not offend His Majesty.

After the burial of the young general, Mu Guogong obviously felt that the emperor actually did not want to see him, and it was also for the sake of the young general to keep his title.

The life and death of Duchess Mu Guo and his sister-in-law Mu Yi, Mu Guogong doesn't care, but the inheritance of the Mu family for many years cannot be completely destroyed in his hands, fortunately, he still has a promising eldest son, Mu Da Young Master, coupled with Mu Wu's care, Mu Da Shao can always support the Mu family's court, and Mu Guogong also has the face to meet the ancestors and ancestors.

If you want Mu Dashao to be reused, you must first let the emperor reduce his bad feelings towards the Mu family, in Mu Guogong's view, as long as it is a problem that silver can solve, it is not a problem, he is by no means a miser, and he is not willing to give up silver.

The emperor's eyes were a little deeper, in fact, he and Mu Guogong were connected to the same fate, his daughter's soul was still there, but he could never recognize it, and sometimes he didn't know if Mu Guo was his daughter.

"I won't let you down." The emperor said: "After Mu Wu and Lu Li, I will send someone to escort you out of Beijing, I have a shipyard in the south of the Yangtze River, and I will completely entrust you with shipbuilding in the future, and I will also ask your opinion on maritime affairs, if you can let the imperial ships sail far away and dominate the sea, I promise...... Your daughter will be proud of you. ”
