The Kingdom of Valois and the Kingdom of England, the two countries are feuding, after Charles V came to the throne, he quickly started a war with England, he is not afraid of defeat, and he does not even mind surrendering to a third party, but it is impossible to make the other party feel better!

This other party is England, and vice versa.

The soldiers who surrendered without a fight, the two brothers Guo Xing and Guo Ying, the momentum of destroying the country that they had just mentioned turned into nothing in an instant.

It can't be that the Ming Dynasty will drive the army to a certain place, and the people will surrender wherever they are, right?

What's going on in this battle?

Guo Ying wants to make meritorious contributions, but he also wants to fight, and now he finally has the opportunity to go out to fight and lead troops independently...... Guo Ying punched the cotton, making him unable to use his strength.

It's very uncomfortable.

"What's next?"

Guo Ying had no choice but to ask Guo Xing: "Now the enemies on this side are only the Kingdom of Valois and England, right?" The other countries were surrounded by the northern army, how can they fight in the future? ”

If I knew this, I didn't come all the way to Europe, and how good it was to stay in the Ming Dynasty.

"If we can't fight, then we will engage in development."

Guo Xing seemed to have an answer in his heart, and when he heard Guo Ying's inquiry, he said it directly: "I said before the Seventh Five-Year Plan that in the end, what you fight for is logistics, what is logistics?" It is development, the better we develop in Europe, the more stable our position will be, this is an inevitable thing, so what we have to do next is to vigorously develop and build! ”

Hearing Guo Xing's words, Guo Ying was a little at a loss: "But, but I won't, in addition to fighting wars all these years, where have I done the work of developing the economy?" ”

"Can't you learn if you haven't done it? We didn't know how to fight before, but we fought again and again, and in the end, didn't we learn too? ”

Guo Xing thinks that 'no' is not an excuse, he will not go to school, people are not born to know, and he will do everything through the efforts of the day after tomorrow: "In the Ming Dynasty, how many generals have changed their identities?" Won't they and won't? I won't go to school, and if I do, I won't? ”

As he spoke, Guo Xing hammered Guo Ying's shoulder: "Start learning by digging a ditch, and make a little progress, I don't believe we can't learn." ”

Just like fighting a war, at the beginning, he used brute force, aggressiveness, and ruthlessness to survive one war after another, and now he is beginning to get involved in the field of economic construction, and Guo Xing is also ready to learn from scratch like a war.

Guo Ying was a little unlistenable, and said to Guo Xing very embarrassed: "Big brother, it's not that I don't want to learn, but ...... What time is it now? We're both so old, and if we start from scratch, when will we have to learn? ”

"No matter when you learn, don't you have to learn? Age is not an excuse. ”

Guo Xing looked at Guo Ying, who was reluctant, and said meaningfully: "Brother, we are Your Majesty and Qiwu's fellow countrymen, if you don't have any credit at all, if you go back like this, you will inevitably be laughed at, I can't afford to lose this person, so I decided to learn!" No matter what we do, we need to have our own attitude. ”

Compared with Guo Ying, Guo Xing saw farther, he knew that with the conquest of one land after another by the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, there would always be a day when the battle would be over, what could they do as soldiers after the battle?

Therefore, Guo Xing thought of transformation, and only the transformation of Daming will have its own place.

……

Whether Guo Ying wants to transform or not, Guo Xing is ready.

Handed over the matter of accepting the surrender of the Kingdom of Valois and the Kingdom of England to Zhou Buxin, Guo Xing went directly to the grassroots level, starting from the simplest to build a house, Guo Ying saw that his eldest brother had begun to go directly to the grassroots level, and he was not good at putting up a shelf anymore, so he followed Guo Xing to dig the foundation together.

However, they only learn to understand the industry, and as they understand more and learn more, they gradually come out of the sequence of labor, become supervisors, and then learn about engineering.

In just half a year, Guo Xing and Guo Ying have changed from old oilers on the battlefield to old oilers in the workplace, and they are familiar with the work on the construction site.

Steel bar, cement, these two building materials are the most demanded materials, Europe wants to develop, cement and steel these two materials are necessary, Guo Xing specially transferred several professionals from the country, began to inspect the place suitable for building a factory.

As for Zhou Buxin...... He was in charge of agriculture and population, and the teaching was handed over to the students who came to Europe to support.

Zhou Buxin has received Zhu Han's new teaching, and he also knows that the traditional Four Books and Five Classics are not suitable for the needs of the Ming Dynasty, so change is necessary, but the Four Books and Five Classics are very necessary for the control of the local natives, let them learn Chinese, Chinese, read Chinese books, and it will not be long before they will be assimilated, which is also a very good thing for the Ming Dynasty to rule Europe in the future.

The three of them cooperate quite tacitly, and one person is in charge of one stall.

Except for things that require the cooperation of three people to complete, there is basically no contact with the others.

With a clear division of labor and tacit understanding, the development of Europe has ushered in their troika.

……

When Zhu Yuanzhang knew about the changes made by Guo Xing and Guo Ying in Europe, it was already half a year later.

Knowing that Guo Xing and Guo Ying did not blindly fight and fight, but changed their functions, and began to invest in the development and construction of Europe on the basis of maintaining the deterrent power of the army, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this, and showed Zhu Han the secret letter, and said with a sigh: "At the beginning, we were worried that these two boys would not be comfortable staying in Europe, after all, it is not a blind war now, but I didn't expect these two boys to do so well, let's still think about whether to reprimand them, now it seems that there is no need for this." ”

After reading the secret letter, Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Guo Ying's kid is anxious, he can think that the change will not be him, Guo Xing's temperament is more stable, and he considers things more comprehensively, it should be his idea, Guo Ying is not bad, at least he has the idea to learn, this is enough, if our generals are like Guo Xing and Guo Ying, the development of our Ming Dynasty will not have too many shackles." ”

"Yes, we need such talents!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and then said quite dissatisfied: "No, we still have to discover more talents from the old brothers, let them change, and continue to shine for our Daming." ”

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's business, Zhu Han doesn't want to get involved, what if he says a few more words, what if Zhu Yuanzhang hands over the work of 'transferring' to the old brothers?

In order to be lazy, Zhu Han chose to talk less.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't intend to let him go just like that, but mentioned another question: "Seventh Five, we have been thinking about it these days, when we take possession of all the land in the world, how should this armament be improved?" After all, without an opponent, it is not easy to make progress, and besides, in the future, the future will be invincible, and when the time comes, will there be anyone to support the development of armaments? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang has really been prepared for danger in times of peace, he has seen the success of Daming now, but now he has begun to think about what will happen after success, what if Daming will pop up again in the future?

Fight with your current weapons?

It's not impossible, but without a lead, Zhu Yuanzhang will always feel unsafe.

Zhu Han felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was worrying about nothing: "Brother, that's all a few hundred years later, it's useless to think about it now?" Again...... What are we doing with so many factories? Isn't it just for war? ”

After a pause, Zhu Han said in more detail: "If you don't say anything else, let's talk about textile factories...... It can be converted into a military clothing factory in wartime, providing a sufficient amount of blankets for Ming sergeants, and a steel factory to produce armor and weapons...... Besides, even if someone really rebelled, have we ever wondered what the reason for his rebellion was? Even if those people are suppressed with advanced weapons, can we guarantee that my Ming Dynasty will still have long-term peace and stability? ”

The most important thing is to look at the emperor.

If the emperor loves the people like a son, who will do the work of rebellion with his head?

Even if someone rebels for his own ambitions, how many people will support him?

There is much help for the righteous and little help for the unjust, this sentence is not wrong at all.

Zhu Han said that Zhu Yuanzhang was worrying about the sky, which is not unreasonable.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood what Zhu Han said, but he felt that he had to think of a solution to the problem, and only in this way could he let the Ming Dynasty pass on the rule of eternity.

Zhu Han didn't think so, he felt that if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a bastard, then it would be forgivable for the Ming Dynasty to be overthrown, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's sad face, Zhu Han said with a smile: "Brother, don't think about it so much, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, why do we worry so much?" Let's talk about how to develop armaments in peacetime. ”

Seeing Zhu Han change the topic, Zhu Yuanzhang did not continue to dwell on whether the Ming Dynasty could be passed on to eternity, but listened to Zhu Han mention the method of armament development.

"Whether it is a civilian to an army or a military to a civilian, there is a prerequisite, who develops well."

Zhu Han looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and explained: "According to our plan, the Ming Dynasty will develop for a hundred years, and the enemies of the Ming Dynasty will only exist within the Ming Dynasty in the future, so the armament will not be so important, and the development of civilian use, if it exceeds the military, then we can use the civilian one......"

"Of course, the manufacture of gunpowder, muskets, and artillery can only be controlled by the court, and private individuals are not allowed to carry guns and gunpowder, and even if there is a need for gunpowder, it must be handled by the official people, so that the official has the most important power......"

"In my opinion, our Shenji Battalion can be expanded again, and in the future, the Ming army, in addition to the standing gunpowder, other gunpowder can only be used by the Shenji Battalion of Huaxia Kingdom, no matter where in the world, the Shenji Battalion masters the use and manufacture of gunpowder...... Of course, this kind of regulation is not immutable, if the gunpowder of the Ming Dynasty is improved in the future, we will put the gunpowder of the older generation into the people, and the Shenji Battalion will continue to master the most advanced gunpowder and firearms. ”

Well, not bad.

That's a good idea.

Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that what Zhu Han said is very right and reasonable.

Since Zhu Han invented gunpowder, Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as seeing the power of gunpowder, a city that cannot be attacked for a long time, and the city wall can be collapsed in an instant with gunpowder, which is why Zhu Yuanzhang is very disgusted with the twists and turns of building a city wall in a place.

The Shenji Battalion is only in China, and the research, production and use of gunpowder are all in the Shenji Battalion...... If the people want to have more powerful gunpowder, they can only promote the development of the Shenji Battalion.

When the time comes, won't the most advanced weapons still be in the hands of the Shenji Battalion?

"Okay, that's a good idea."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and his tightly knit brows immediately relaxed: "Seventy-five is seventy-five, what answer we want, you can give whatever answer, we really can't do without you." ”

Zhu Han didn't speak, acquiescing to this fact.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the vision of being ahead of seven or eight hundred years, he did not experience the era of the explosion of information in later generations, and he naturally did not understand a lot of knowledge, Zhu Han's insight was indeed ahead in the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Han did not dare to guarantee that he would always be ahead.

Fortunately, I have my own system.

Zhu Han felt that if there was no system, Daming would never have developed so rapidly.

"Brother, the world is very big now, that's because our existing conditions are limited, in the future, we will study faster railways, faster ships, and then the scope of the world will shrink, so science and technology are the primary productive forces, no matter when, we can't give up research, and this is the case with Gewuxue."

Zhu Han looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said to him: "The performance of Guo Xing and Guo Ying can show that we still have a lot of potential to tap in the Ming Dynasty, and this potential needs to be promoted by science." ”

"En, Qiwu is right, we will add these studies to Taixue in the future, so that the students of Taixue are no longer just nerds who drop their book bags, we want to make them comprehensive."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously, agreeing with Zhu Han's point of view: "Seventy-five, why don't you do this dean of Tai Academy?" ”

"If I don't do it, I still want to build Yanjing City."

Zhu Han directly rejected Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal, and then said very seriously: "If it weren't for you coming to me, brother, I would have discussed with Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang how to build Yanjing." ”

After Zhu Han discussed with Li Shanchang and Liu Ji, he directly expanded the construction of the Yanjing Palace to the entire Yanjing City, and the budget was expanded several times...... How long will it take to complete?

However, after listening to Zhu Han's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed with Zhu Han's idea, although the money is spent more, it is also more useful, isn't it?

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Zhu Han was looking for an excuse to cheat and play tricks, so he said: "Okay, okay, you go and get busy, let's keep the position of the dean of the Tai Academy for you, and when you build Yanjing City, we will make a holy decree and let you go to the Tai Academy to teach." ”

"Hehe, if my brother says so, then I have a trick, it's a big deal to build Yanjing for ten or eight years, and see who can drag whom."

After Zhu Han finished speaking, he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to change his face, and he was directly relieved: "I'll go to find Lao Li and Lao Liu, brother, let's see you later." ”
