Hearing Shen Daozhi's proposal, Wang Yue was quite surprised: "How could Brother Shen suddenly mention this matter?"

Shen Dao waved his hand and said: "Childe, Shen Guo knows that the general of the Huaishang Coalition Army, who is about to establish the country, still lacks a lady, and the day before yesterday sent a messenger to Jili, hoping to marry Gongzi, I am preparing to report this matter, but I don't imagine that the envoys of the country, the East China Sea and even the southern Yue Kingdom will come one after another. ”

"The envoys of all countries have come for this matter. He said helplessly: "The threshold of my political hall is about to be broken by them." ”

Wang Yue laughed and asked, "Didn't the Huaishang Five Kingdoms send envoys over?"

Shen Zhi said with a smile: "The descendants of Huai Bo and the marriage of the prince have not obtained the status of the wife of the prince, how dare the monarchs of the five countries of Huai Shang climb to the head of Huai Bo? This is also one of the reasons why the princess of an ordinary small country is not worthy of the prince." ”

"Otherwise, if Mrs. Gongzi is a princess of other small countries, whether it is Huai Bo or the monarch of the five countries of Huaishang, she will not say anything on the surface, but she will have some mustard in her heart, which is not conducive to diplomatic relations, and if she marries a princess of a big country, then they will have nothing to say. ”

"It is also an honor for domestic officials and people to have a princess of a big country as the mother of the country. ”

Wang Yue nodded, knowing that even if it is an ordinary small people, marriage involves two families, the monarch of a country, and all aspects of national politics and diplomatic relations, it is indeed not to be ignored, he thought about it for a while, and said: "This matter can be done according to Brother Shen's wishes, but it must be done after the establishment of the country, and if you ask to marry the princess of Yongguo, you must prepare one or two." ”

"Although my snake Yu country is small at this time, it should not be called Yongguo to underestimate, and when he comes to Japan, he should show his wealth and strength. ”

"As for the envoys of various countries, they asked me to reveal a little about my marriage with Huaiying, and told him to go by himself. ”

"I'm afraid that the envoys of various countries may not go by themselves. Shen Zhi said with a smile: "Chengli has three wives of Yun Guojun, and there is no main wife and a flat wife, but there is still a flat wife to fight for. ”

Listening to Wang Yue's heart, he sighed secretly.

If he is a penniless poor boy, he may not be able to marry the most beautiful village girl in the village.

Now as the future monarch of the Snake Yu Kingdom, and with great reputation and influence, the princess that many young people in various countries dream of not only does not need to be obtained, but is also like a commodity for him to choose, and cannot be a wife, this is the difference brought by different strengths.

"What do you think is the advantage and disadvantage of marrying princesses from all over the world?" asked Wang Yue.

Shen Zhi thought for a while and said: "Among the countries, even if I don't want to admit it in my heart, my mother country, Shen Guo, is also the weakest country, and it can't be of great help to Gongzi, so it should be vetoed, and the other three countries have their own advantages and disadvantages." ”

"The origin of the elephant country traces back to the previous dynasty, the heritage is profound, the country is also strong, and it is close to the Cai country, if the prince attacks Cai in the future, this country can help. ”

"The East China Sea has a longer history, needless to say, and its national strength is not bad, especially on the sea and water. ”

"If Gongzi attacks Cai, he can also help, and even use a good help is not small, but the disadvantage of this country is that his country is not profitable and cannot afford to be early, and he will sway when he sees the wind, not for a good ally, and it is rumored that he has always regarded himself as the source of the world, and it is extremely difficult to deal with, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea seems to be interested in the water veins of the world, and there is a conflict with the covenant between Gongzi and Huaibo, which is the most undesirable of the Three Kingdoms. ”

"Finally, there is the Yue Kingdom. ”

"Yue Guo can't be of great help to Gongzi, but after all, he was also a big country, and he also competed with Jing and Cai for hegemony, and I heard that the beauty of Yue Nu is the best in the world, and if she is a flat wife, it is also good. ”

"So, Brother Shen is inclined to Xiangguo?" Wang Yue said with a smile, and thought for a while: "Between our country and Xiangguo, the relationship is not shallow, at this moment, General Feilian, who is temporarily the first patriarch of the martial arts hall in our army, was one of the generals of the six armies under the Son of Elephant Heaven in the past, and has a friendship with Shang Longjun, the guardian saint of Xiangguo's current government. ”

"Besides, with the current relationship between Cai and Xiang, our snake Yu country is attacking Cai, and it is naturally an ally. ”

Shen Dao said: "This is also the case, what does that son mean?"

Wang Yue said: "Next time, if my snake Yu Kingdom attacks Cai, there is no need for any help, the power of one country is enough, Brother Shen thinks that in such a situation, which princess is the best to choose?"

"Yue Guo?"

"Not bad. Wang Yue said: "In fact, whether there is help or not, the East China Sea Kingdom only hinders my alliance with Huaibo, and it should not be considered in the first place." ”

"Huaishang five countries, for our country is extremely important, in the future of our country's industry and commerce together is my snake Yu country endlessly, even said to be the largest source of wealth, our country's daily needs of sea salt, is also based on Huai salt, so this relationship must be managed and maintained. ”

"And the Yue country in the south of Huaishang, although it is not a neighbor of me, and it is not helpful to me in military affairs, but our country will have great benefits in the Yue country in the future. ”

"China only needs its sugarcane as the raw material, and a little processing into brown sugar is a thousand times more profitable. ”

"In addition, there are mulberry silkworms in Yueguo, but they are not on a large scale, and I also intend to harvest their raw silk and process it with sucrose..."

Shen Zhi took a deep breath when he heard this, put aside the marriage with various countries, and asked in surprise: "Sugar cane turned into brown sugar, and raw silk, this thousand benefits, can be created by creation?"

Wang Yue affirmed: "Of course, it is created. ”

Shen Zhi thought about the creative order that Wang Yue said before, and said: "I can't imagine that there can be such amazing benefits in the creation, and now it is only the creation of Gongzi alone, and a rich country can be achieved. ”

He seemed to have an understanding: "But ordinary Li Shu, they are all foolish people, how can they create anything, I understand, Gongzi seeks to popularize education and pass on a lot of knowledge to the general public, not only to cultivate talents, these people will have the power to create when the time comes." ”

"And creation has such great benefits, and our laws only need to ensure that the fruits of its creation belong to us and benefit the country, then in the future everyone will create, and even if it is only a small country, our snake country will be a thousand times richer than a large country. ”

Thinking of this, he frowned again and said, "It's just that a country must not only be rich, but also strong, otherwise it will be tantamount to a child holding gold at night." ”

Wang Yue laughed and said: "The way of creation includes all aspects, not only to improve life, but also to use it in war, in the creative country, it can even be said that the richer the country, the stronger the country, and even the rich is the strongest, and if you are not rich, you will not be strong." ”

Shen Dao seemed to still have doubts, so Wang Yue explained: "Legend has it that before the Holy Emperor Era, human beings used wood and stone as soldiers, and since the Holy Emperor Era, they have changed to copper as soldiers, and many powerful war weapons have been developed. ”

"This time, I commanded the Huaishang coalition army, and the reason why I was able to defeat Cai Guo was also due to the creation of war, first of all, in terms of military system, I made innovations for the coalition army, and adopted a new and more powerful tactic, in terms of equipment, and temporarily seconded them ballistas. ”

"Needless to say, the ballista of the latter, with just a few operations, can easily kill tens of thousands of warriors and soldiers of Cai Guo from miles away, and the ballista is only the beginning of the creation of war weapons. ”

Shen Zhi nodded and said: "Gongzi said before that in the future, the Snake Yu Kingdom will attack Cai without the help of other countries, is this why?"

Wang Yue smiled and said, "That's why it's because of this." ”

He looked left and right again, and said: "Brother Shen, come with me, since the last battle between Huaixia City and Cai Guo, I have created a lot of utensils, but they are limited to materials and materials, and they cannot be popularized for the time being. ”

So the two returned to the instrument testing ground.

Shen Zhi didn't care about this test site, but when he paid attention to it, he found a lot of things that he didn't pay attention to on weekdays.

It is said that Wang Yue's subordinates except Zhao Wu, the strongest Yang You is being arranged to be stationed here in person, and the visitors, it seems that except for the important personnel of his level, other irrelevant people will be blocked by the people of the Gong Wei Division.

Thinking about it this way, it is undoubtedly designed for the secrecy of all kinds of powerful equipment.

After thinking about it, Shen Zhi had walked into the site with Wang Yue, and looked at the surrounding buildings, all of which were newly fired masonry from the brick factory that had been improved and built on the basis of the brick kiln of Linan Manor in the territory in recent months.

Immediately, his eyes were attracted by the various instruments and tools used by the samurai and warriors in the field. (To be continued.) )
