Chapter Ninety-Six: The Beginning of a New Journey
"Humph! and a hundred taels of silver. Hua Hou Wei glanced at Hongji, who was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Mao's jaw almost dropped in shock: "One hundred taels!" Oh, my God! Can't afford it, can't afford it! ”
Hongzhi glared at Hua Houwei, smiled at Zhang Mao and comforted: "It's okay, I can allocate silver from the inner treasury and distribute 10,000 people." ”
Zhang Mao shook his head: "Too little, too little, 10,000 people are sprinkled on the nine sides, and I can't see it at all." ”
Hua Houwei couldn't help it: "British Duke, why do you have to use it in a scattered way?" Aren't fists clenched together stronger than open palms? The 10,000-strong team is each assigned two horses, and although the nine sides are vast, they can be arrived in three days, right? The little prince deducted the pass, the 10,000-strong team blocked the back road, and the other covered up, and then the inside and outside of the pass should be combined, hehe, the little prince? Even the reincarnation of Genghis Khan is also a defeat like a mountain! ”
Zhang Mao froze in place, suddenly applauded loudly, and looked Hua Houwei up and down: "Your Majesty, I believe it!" I believe that His Royal Highness has traveled thousands of miles, and the Hu people who beat him did not dare to look south. With such a talent, can the old man ask His Highness what books he reads? ”
Hua Houwei sneered: "Books? The books of war are all deceitful, and the victory or defeat on the battlefield is always above the temple. Only when a war is fought is logistics, weapons, and the structure of the army, coupled with the ability of the commander-in-chief, can the war be won. British Gong, strength is greater than skill, once the strength can crush the opponent, Sun Wu will be difficult to turn the tables again! ”
Zhang Mao looked at Hua Houwei and muttered: "Strength is greater than skill? Strength is greater than skill! Haha, Your Highness said it well! ”
Ma Wensheng walked over and bowed to Hua Houwei: "Thank you, Your Highness, for creating such a magic spear, the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner to revive Tianwei!" ”
Hua Houwei wanted to be humble, but when he saw Hongzhi's appearance, he was angry: "Don't dare, I could have done better." Expand production, the cost will drop rapidly, and this gun can be made in just seven or eight taels. The bullet is even more than ten cents a piece, which is more than a million army! ”
Liu Jian shouted at Hongzhi: "Your Majesty? ”
Hongji sighed: "Alas, it's not that I don't want to, but that I'm too invested too much." Once there is a natural disaster, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it. And it couldn't stop in the first place. After the Ming Dynasty fought Mongolia, looking at the world, who else could he fight? ”
"Daddy! There are enemies! Europa's fire at the moment is better than that of the Divine Machine Battalion, once we stop, others surpass us, how many days can Daming have a peaceful life? ”
Hongzhi just wanted to reprimand Hua Houwei, but Liu Daxia sighed: "Your Majesty, what Your Highness said is that there have been red-haired ghosts in Nanyang!" As His Highness said, those red-haired ghost fire guns are no worse than Da Ming's, and there is also a kind of small cannon that fires quickly and cannot be ignored. ”
Hongji was taken aback, he didn't expect those Europa people that his son said came so quickly! Perhaps this is the butterfly effect brought about by the crossing, and it will take another seven or eight years in history for the Ming to come into contact with the Portuguese, but at this moment, the shadow of Europa has appeared around the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Jian asked Liu Daxia: "Shi Yong, how do you know?" ”
"My lord, there are a lot of people in Jiangxi who go to Nanyang, a while ago there was a child of the Yan clan in Nanyang who saw it in Nanyang, and I only knew about it as a strange thing."
Hongzhi looked at Hua Houwei, and Hua Houwei spread his hands: "Dad, don't ask me, I said that I was very poor at the beginning." ”
"Humph! Your wish has been granted! Mrs! ”
"The old minister is here!"
"Hou Wei has a set of things, which can enrich the country and strengthen the army, and the cabinet is discussing with him to come up with a fold, I want to see it!"
Liu Jian promised: "Yes, Your Majesty." It's just that what can be called a rich country and a strong army? ”
"Haha, industry! Big industry! Only with big industry can we enrich the country and strengthen the army! Huahou Wei danced with his hands, but he didn't expect Hongzhi to agree? Ha! It's time for you to show your strength!
Back in the palace, Hua Houwei followed Liu Jian into the cabinet. After sitting down, Liu Jian took the booklet handed over by Xingchi, flipped through it a few times at random, and put it on the table: "Your Highness, the old man is dazzled, and he can't see the small characters." Or Your Highness dictates the outline, let's see how to implement it. ”
Hua Houwei nodded and said sincerely: "Boss, let's not call His Royal Highness, you can call me Hou Wei." In terms of age, you can be my grandfather! ”
"Etiquette cannot be abolished, His Royal Highness has a heart, but the minister can only understand it." Liu Jian smiled kindly, his eyes becoming more and more gentle. For Hua Houwei, he was very optimistic about it as early as five years ago. This time, Hua Houwei went out of the mountain again, and he intended to help well.
"Uh, alas, well. Readers have their own persistence, I understand. My idea is this, my lord, let's start with the military industry, establish a series of industrial chains from mining, coking coal, iron smelting, and machinery manufacturing, and gradually reduce the number of troops. Extending to civilian, such as chemical, textile, fertilizer and other industries, it will not take ten years, and the Ming Dynasty is invincible! ”
Li Dongyang frowned: "Your Highness, what is chemical industry and chemical fertilizer?" ”
"Master Li, let's talk about fertilizer first. If this thing is sprinkled in the ground, I estimate that the yield can be doubled. ”
"Ahem! Ahem! Xie Qian almost choked to death after taking a sip of tea, coughing all over his chest. He didn't care about wiping it, and asked urgently, "Your Highness, really?" ”
"Second Master, although I haven't been learning from you for a long time, you should know me, right? Am I a big talker? ”
Xie Qian smiled: "Your Highness, I didn't mean that. I can't believe what you're saying. ”
Liu Jian also nodded: "Yes, Your Highness." Doubling production, how big is that? The old man didn't dare to believe it. ”
"Well, it's nothing. Fertilizer and improved seeds really have this effect. At the end of the day, there is a continent where the descendants of Yin Shang are located, and there are crops with a yield of more than 1,000 catties per mu, which is miraculous. Hua Houwei thought about corn, sweet potatoes, and yam eggs, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to the American continent at this time.
"What? Thousands of pounds per mu? Oh, my God! Liu Jian was shocked, but he just touched his chest and exclaimed.
"Descendants of Yin Shang? Truly? Li Dongyang is a good golden stone, and when he heard the words Yin Shang descendants, he suddenly became interested.
"It's rumored, it's just rumored. If you head northeast, you'll find a strait where it freezes in winter. Across the strait, which is the continent, all the way south, you will see what I call the Indians. It is rumored that the descendants of Yin Shang followed the route just mentioned and found the continent. They look the same as us, but even the essence of the mountain has been lost, and communication is a problem as the years change. Hua Houwei once saw a post detailing many inferences and evidence that the Indians might have been Indians, and now he repeats them without thinking.
"Indian? Your Highness, how long is it? Thousands of miles away? "Li Dongyang's interest in the Indian people in the Americas is not ordinary, and he wants to see if there is any possibility of looking for it.
"Road? Hehe, more than 40,000 miles! ”
