Chapter 40: Crushing is king
In the afternoon, Princess Tanasha put on a beautiful makeup and left the castle to look for her prince, while Li Chao counted the gold coins in the castle.
In front of him, there were chests full of gold coins and gems, and if they were thrown out now, they would immediately cause screaming and looting.
But he didn't get excited, but looked at the gold coins and jewels in a daze.
The problem of money in the first step has been solved, but the problem of the people in the second step has not been solved, where do the people come from?
Science and technology need high-end talents, obviously, this backward world can not provide him with high-end talents, as for the cultivation of education from an early age, it is feasible, but it will take a very long time.
"There's no way I'm going to waste decades in this little world." He frowned and thought, "My roots are in the real earth, and spending decades in a small world is a waste. β
"And I planted the seeds of a red tide in the real earth, and if nothing else, the red tide will sweep everything at that time...... If I don't have enough strength, not only will I not be able to pluck the most beautiful fruit, but I may even fill it in...... That's more than worth the loss! β
He thought about it for a long time and thought about it a lot, but he never settled on it.
Technology is not something that can be completed overnight, it is a big tree, and it takes time from planting to taking root and then bearing fruit, and Li Chao just lacks time.
In the midst of all these things, he couldn't find a breakthrough.
The more he thought about it, the more bored he became, Li Chao simply didn't want to, he was going to go out for a walk, this was a way for him to relax his mood, every time he was anxious, he walked around to relax, and after he was distracted, he was happy.
The scenery outside the castle is beautiful, the sky is blue, the trees are tall, you can hear the rustling sound when you step on the grass, and the thorns outside the castle have long disappeared without a trace.
Walking out of the castle is an endless field in which the farmers work hard, this was the land of Princess Tanasha's father a hundred years ago, but as Princess Tanasa and the soldiers and nobles in the castle fell into a deep sleep, these lands were quickly divided up by the surrounding kingdoms, if it were not for the castle surrounded by thorns, I am afraid that those people would have to divide the castle, after all, compared to the land, the castle and the wealth in it are more valuable.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Chao was stunned, and his thoughts just now lit up in the storm of thinking like sparks, and he realized that what he needed at this time was not a talent engaged in scientific research, but a soldier who could resist the enemy.
"The thorns are used to protect the castle, it is like a wall that keeps the greedy eyes of others, but now that the wall is gone, others will surely flock to divide the castle and its wealth."
He turned and walked in the direction he was coming from, joking, it would be too late to prepare, those guys were able to divide the kingdom while Princess Tanasha and her soldiers were asleep, and now they would surely be able to take the castle when it had little defense.
After all, the castle is still an 'enemy country', and the guards are weak, and it is almost a piece of fat to those who covet wealth, if they don't eat it, Li Chao wonders if their IQ has been fed to the dogs.
When he returned to the castle, he asked the soldiers to call their chief guard, and then said to the chief guard solemnly, "How many soldiers are there in the castle?" β
"Why do you ask this?" Instead of answering, the chief guard asked.
Li Chao looked at the chief guard for a long time before shaking his head, "Your Excellency, what about your vigilance?" β
It is understandable that he did not think of the potential danger in the first place, after all, he was just an ordinary student, but the chief of the guard was different, as the person in charge of the security of the castle, he was not aware of the potential danger, and his ability was worrying.
"Your Excellency the Guard, don't you realize that we are in a very dangerous situation?" He scoffed, "Your kingdom has been divided, but you have not become a nobleman in other kingdoms, but you have mastered the wealth of a rich country...... It's like a child walking in the middle of the city with a piece of gold in his hand, and anyone wants to grab it. β
The guard's face turned a little pale, "No...... The neighboring king is the cousin of our king, and he will protect ....... β
"What will it protect?" Li Chao interrupted him, and then sneered, "Protect you or protect the princess?" Don't be naΓ―ve, what role can that little bit of kinship play in front of interests? If it really worked, there would be no war on the continent. β
"And don't forget, among the people who divide the land of this kingdom are the cousin of the king in your mouth, and the most important thing is that you have been sleeping for a hundred years, and now you are either the son of the original king or his grandson, and even if you are related, it has long been faded!"
"If that's the case, then we'll fight to the death." The chief guard straightened up, "Even if we die, we will protect Her Royal Highness." β
Li Chao glanced at him unexpectedly, thinking that this chief of guards has no ability, but he is quite loyal, but he thought about it again, if this chief of guard is not loyal, the old king will not arrange for him to guard the castle, after all, in such an important place, whether the ability is strong or not is secondary, the important thing is to be loyal, otherwise the king and the princess will not sleep peacefully.
"How many guards are there in the castle now?"
"One hundred and thirty."
"Too little." Li Chao shook his head, "How can just one hundred and thirty people stop those people?" Moreover, you have all been asleep for a hundred years, and the arquebuses in your hands have long been backward, and you will fight with the enemy equipped with advanced weapons with backward weapons, and you will not be able to win no matter how you look at it. β
Yes, in the history of the real earth, there are examples of millet plus rifles winning aircraft cannons, but he doesn't think he can replicate miracles, crushing is the king, whether it is equipment crushing or number of people crushing, there must always be one far more than the enemy.
"Chief of the Guard, give me command of the soldiers, and I will fend off the enemy and defend the castle."
"This ......."
"I saved you, it was my Royal Highness who kissed you to wake you up from your slumber, and ......." Li Chao looked at him seriously, "I'm about to marry your princess, and after your princess is crowned queen, I will be your king, don't you dare to disobey your king's orders?" β
The head guard blinked, "Is this true?" β
"Of course it's true, we're about to get married, if you don't believe me, you can wait for your princess to come back and ask her."
