"Old Man Xingyue deserves to be the person closest to heaven and man, such a cultivation and such a mind really make the old man admire!" Zeng Yu sighed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yin Shuo on the side frowned, he couldn't figure out what Zeng Yu was admiring, he wanted to ask, but he didn't want to lose face in front of He Yu, so he could only quietly glance at Zeng Yu and let him take the initiative to explain one or two.

After Zeng Yu saw Yin Shuo's eyes, he immediately gave him a look back, signaling him to be restless. Then he opened his mouth and sighed: "He Gongzi is really quick-witted, and he can get along with such a wonderful strategy in an instant, which really makes the old man admire!"

"Hehe, it's because I have this codex in my hand that I can come up with a few ideas that are difficult to wait for. This little cleverness is really not worth mentioning compared to Master Zeng. He Wu said with a smile.

The two sang and harmonized, which made people completely confused when they heard it, Yin Shuo suddenly became more anxious, and quietly glanced at Zeng Yu.

Zeng Yu nodded slightly, and said softly: "Suppressing the commerce of neighboring countries with the help of low-priced goods is indeed a good way to quickly accumulate prestige. It's just that which neighboring country should we suppress, does He Gongzi have a plan in his heart?"

Zeng Yu Mingli was asking why he was worried about his plans, but he was actually taking the opportunity to wake up Yin Shuo. When Yin Shuo heard this, his eyebrows raised, and his heart suddenly became clear.

The economic strategy described in "Old Man Xingyue" is intended to disrupt a country's economic market by attacking its economic market, so as to achieve the goal of disrupting internal affairs and encroaching on its rule.

There are many difficulties in implementing this strategy, and it is not an overnight achievement to achieve the goal.

However, what Yin Shuo needs now is not to really use it to devour a country, what he needs now is to increase his power, cultivate his own power, and then go to compete with his brothers for the throne.

Therefore, when Yin Shuo implements his economic strategy, he does not need to fully achieve his goal at all, all he needs is to gain benefits with this hand, and then ensure that the rule of his neighbors is harmed, and this is enough!

In response to Zeng Yu's inquiry, He Wei smiled slightly and said: "I just read a passage from the codex, as for how to increase the prestige of Yin Xingshou, it is Zeng Shi's business." ”

He Wei's refusal to answer Zeng Yu's inquiry was equivalent to rejecting the olive branch handed over by Zeng Shi again and refusing to participate in the upcoming battle for the throne.

Coupled with Zeng Yu's previous invitation and Yin Shuo's overtures, this is already half an hour, and He Wei has refused them for the third time. There is no more than three things, since He Wei insists on not wanting to be dragged into the water, then it is difficult for them to continue to be strong, but they have fallen into inferiority.

Zeng Yu sighed and said regretfully: "Since this is the case, the old man will no longer force it." If the son changes his mind in the future, the old man is willing to abdicate and make way for Xian. ”

Abdicate and make way for Xian! Zeng Yu's current position is Yin Shuo's chief staff, and his words are enough to see the importance he attaches to He Wei.

However, in the face of such attention, He Wei just smiled noncommittally and made no excuses.

At this time, Yin Shuo had already begun to go. In fact, after he figured out Zeng Yu's plan to increase his prestige, he immediately "sat still".

This is the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time!

"He Gongzi, today's grace, Yin must be remembered, if there is any need in the future, He Gongzi can speak. Yin Shuo arched his hand.

He Wei smiled again and said unceremoniously: "Protect my family and find a way to help me go home." ”

This is the end of the conversation. Everyone had their own thoughts, and then Yin Shuo and Zeng Yu left in a hurry.

On the way back, Yin Shuo kept having an excited smile on his face, laughing silly, and he didn't look shrewd and capable on weekdays at all.

"As a king, joy and anger should not be good. You look like this, where do you have half the appearance of a king!" Zeng Yu scolded.

Although Zeng Yu was scolding Yin Shuo, his face was completely less stern than before. Moreover, the excitement in his eyes did not look any less than Yin Shuo.

"Master Zeng, do you think this method of accumulating prestige by economic means can succeed?" Yin Shuo asked.

"It's not whether you can succeed or not, but how much prestige you can accumulate!" Zeng Yu said, "Although, the surrounding countries, including our Moon Empire, are all based on hunting, supplemented by agriculture and animal husbandry. However, trade in goods is still closely related to people's lives, and tax revenues from commerce are a major part of the national treasury's revenue. ”

"The steam engine just now, Chen has just taken me to see, it is indeed an excellent instrument to replace manual labor! I have roughly estimated, as far as the loom just now is concerned, its spinning speed is at least sixteen times faster than that of hand spinning! Moreover, the force of the spindle is uniform and smooth, and I believe that the quality of the spun cloth will be better than that of hand-knitted fabrics!"

"With this weaving speed, you only need to consume some cheap animal fat. One can imagine how low the cost of the cloth woven by this steam engine would be. Once such textiles enter the market, the consequences will be immeasurable!"

Yin Shuo was deeply impressed by Zeng Yu's analysis, and hurriedly said: "Not only the textile machine, but also the codex said that the steam engine can also be used to build various transportation machines. Among them is a machine called a train, which can pull 2,000 stone meters and travel 2,500 miles a day!"

"Well, this time you also sued me. Zeng Yu nodded and said, "If you can really build such a machine and use it to transport military rations and baggage, the soldiers of my Moon Empire will be invincible!"

In fact, if a train can really be built, it will not only be the "soldiers of the Moon-By-Moon Empire"? However, Zeng Yu and the others could not think of other uses for the train for the time being, so they did not talk much about it, and the topic soon returned to the matter of increasing prestige.

"If you want to increase your prestige by suppressing your neighbors, the first thing you need to consider is to fight back. There is no need to think about a commodity counterattack, but a military counterattack has to be considered. If our economic means really deal too hard a blow to the other side, it is difficult to guarantee that the other side will not raise an army to fight back!" Zeng Yu said.

"If you fight for military strength, although my Moon Empire is not afraid of anyone, if it really starts a war, it will not benefit anyone. Yin Shuo nodded and said, "Therefore, the neighboring countries that are close to the strength of the empire do not move lightly. ”

Zeng Yu nodded and said: "Of course, persimmons have to be pinched softly, but if the other party's strength is too weak, even if our suppression plan succeeds, I am afraid it will be difficult to win much prestige." (To be continued.) )
