Chapter Ninety-Four: The Princess's Reliance
The narrative is not long, only about a quarter of an hour.
But for Ning Wanjun, it was like the next day.
This shock is not how profound Xia Fan's plan is, but that it is indeed as the other party said, simple and clear. Even a person like her, who doesn't know anything about Gewu, can fully understand its principle and judge that it is extremely feasible.
Why has no one ever raised such a thing before?
She couldn't help but express the doubts in her heart.
"Not necessarily. Xia Fan replied, "Maybe there are people with high knowledge and extensive knowledge who think of this, but such people are basically in high positions and will not put down their vanity fair and go to the beach to devote their lives." Most of the salt burners are running for a living, so how can they still have the time to observe and think about the details around them. ”
The princess thought thoughtfully, "I can't do what I can think of, but I can't think of what I can do?"
"It's not always possible to think about it, it also requires human and financial resources, as well as an ongoing upfront investment that doesn't know if it will pay off. ”
In this era, there is no concept of venture capital, and it all depends on relationships to attract investment, and there are people who do the business of killing heads, and no one does the business of losing money, if it wasn't for Xia Fan knowing in advance that this method can be successful, he would not dare to pin the whole plan on this point from the beginning.
If we divide the development process of things into 100 equal parts, the most difficult step is to go from zero to one, and the next 99 are just improvements on the basis of "one".
"In this way, will there be a lot of important ideas that die in the early stage of germination?" Ning Wanjun said with divergent thoughts.
Xia Fan glanced at her unexpectedly - the princess at this moment and her in the grottoes of Gaoshan County are like two people, while the military experience has improved her mobility, it does not seem to limit her ability to accept new things.
"It's not that there is no solution. ”
"Oh, you have an idea?"
"Yes. As many people as possible can be lifted out of poverty, fed, and given the opportunity to learn for all – men and women, regardless of gender. Xia Fan said slowly. "Only by worrying about livelihood can we have the energy to think about deeper issues. And the higher the average level of knowledge, the easier it is for practitioners to appear. ”
It is obviously not the norm for a princess like him to be able to get the support of the princess. A virtuous circle can be achieved not only if the proposer understands the principle, but also for those who have financial power. To do this, universal education is the foundation of the foundation.
Ning Wanjun blinked, and then smiled, "It sounds simpler, but if you want to achieve it, I'm afraid it's not more difficult than ascending to the sky." ”
"When you want to make it happen, you're already on the way to heaven. ”
"You want to say that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step......," the princess sighed, "that will require a lot of money and government resources, both of which we lack at the moment, so let's get back to the matter at hand." How many people do you need for experiments?"
"At least seventy or eighty, and the more people, the better. In addition, there must be carpenters and masons, especially the former, who need to live well. Xia Fan originally planned to wait until he returned from Fenghua County to start this matter, but since the other party asked, he simply said the plan together, "These people have to be centralized and managed, and when the construction starts, it should also be arranged in batches, so as not to leak the news." ”
"That's a lot of demand. ”
"Of course, that's why you need to rely on the power of Your Highness. He said bluntly.
"I'll let He Guicai arrange it. ”
Xia Fan nodded, "Besides...... It's time for your people to gather them over. ”
"My people?" Ning Wanjun raised her eyebrows, "What person?"
"The team is something that can be seen on the surface, and it's not good to bring it in front of everyone, but you can't just rely on these few people to want to seize the power of the state pastor's mansion, right?" Xia Fan spread his hands, "If you don't have enough strength, let alone the salt farm, you can't keep anything in Jinxia City." So...... I think you're ready. ”
......
Walking out of the secret room, Qiu Yue exhaled a long breath, "You've finally come out, Your Highness!"
"Did something happen?" Ning Wanjun frowned.
"It's nothing...... she glanced at Xia Fan secretly, "I'm just a little worried about your safety." ”
Xia Fan rolled his eyes and said goodbye, "Then I'll go back first." ”
"Well, I'll send someone to inform you if there's any progress. ”
After he left, Ning Wanjun slapped her on the back of the head, "Do you think I stay in the same room with him, and it is me and not him that need to be worried? If I want to do something, he is at all-"
"Your Highness, be cautious!" Qiu Yue hurriedly covered her mouth, "Your identity is so noble, you must not talk nonsense...... No kidding!"
"Alright," Ning Wanjun broke the maid's hand, "I'm just giving an example." ”
Qiu Yue patted her chest, "Sure enough, it's better for you to have less contact with listeners, and you always feel that they are not the same kind of people as us." ”
"There's a big difference," she lamented, "at least in terms of insight." ”
"But it's also possible that it's just on paper. Qiu Yue was all worried, "After all, according to you, the source of these insights is unknown, and no one knows if it is effective. ”
"Someone else may be, but he's different...... At least I don't feel the scholarly aura of disgust in me. What's more, he also mentioned the matter of the team. ”
"You told him?" asked Qiuyue in surprise.
"No, he guessed it himself. Ning Wanjun raised the corners of her mouth, "A person who can think to this extent, do you still think that he is just talking on paper?"
As Xia Fan said, when she left Gyeonggi, she did not have many cronies around her, but that did not mean that she was unprepared for what she was going to do.
In the past three years in the army, one after another, some low-level officers and soldiers have been discharged from the army and returned to their hometowns.
Their names and addresses were recorded by the princess one by one. These people also know that their decommissioning is not a farewell to the army, but a day when they will swear allegiance to Her Royal Highness.
As long as Ning Wanjun gave an order, they would gather in Jinxia City from all over the Qi Kingdom.
This is a force that is only loyal to her, there are not many people, only more than 3,000 people, but each of them is brave and good at fighting, the command structure is complete, and it can form a combat force immediately after reuniting.
This is also one of the princess's greatest reliance.
She was neither supported by the court, nor favored by His Majesty, but in just a few years of training in the army, she had a group of followers.
Now that she has entered Jinxia City, it is time for these people to gather again.
"Activate the secret order and call all my people back. Ning Wanjun ordered.
Qiu Yue's voice responded, "Yes, Your Highness!"
She had planned to wait for the controllers of Jinxia City to let down their guard before secretly gathering the team, but Xia Fan's plan made her change her initial opinion.
If the other party's plan can be realized, the time for her to really win Jinxia and even the entire Shenzhou will be greatly advanced.
In addition, the last trace of worry in Ning Wanjun's heart also disappeared with this secret talk.
She originally thought that it would be difficult for Xia Fan to wholeheartedly support what she was going to do in the future, but now she found that the other party didn't seem to care about her disobedience at all, and not only didn't care, but even felt a little accustomed to it.
The king may have a dislike for people like him, but for himself, he was the perfect fit.
