Especially now, the Western Xia side is still suppressing the turmoil.

Liu Yunmian felt that the possibility of Feng Xi defecting to herself was more likely than that of defecting to her.

Therefore, it is better to find a new way out, and both of them can run.

If you want to run by water, you have to build a ship, you have to go farther.

Lu Ci listened to the back road arranged by Liu Yunmian for himself, and couldn't cry or laugh.

"You can't go to the territory of the Japanese invaders." He said.

Liu Yunmian shook his head and shook his head, so as to be a teacher: "This is a bad statement, except for them, the world is still big!" ”

She took Zheng He's trip to the West as an example.

Although Lu Ci didn't know which dynasty and generation she was talking about, she was very interested in hearing about maritime trade.

So far, the Central Plains has been dealing with neighboring countries.

However, there are goods, which have traveled overland and crossed several countries to reach the Central Plains.

For example, the green jade carved leaf-patterned high-legged bowl on the emperor's desk is a trace from tens of thousands of miles away.

There is still trade by land, but not much.

As for overseas, Lu Ci has never heard of it.

"Really profitable?" Lu Ci asked.

Liu Yunmian didn't want to make money, but to run away.

"There must be that, bartering, although it is risky, but it is profitable."

I've never eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run.

"But I think there's always someone smart." Liu Yunmian said, "It's because the imperial court didn't let go of shipping, otherwise someone would have done it a long time ago." ”

Liu Yunmian had a very respectful teacher in her previous life, and told her not to think that she was a smart person.

In this world, it is too difficult to be the first.

Liu Yunmian thought so.

She only relied on some history she had learned in later generations to be able to "guide the country", but she never felt that the ancients were not as smart as her.

Sure enough, Lu Ci nodded and said: "Since the founding of this dynasty, in order to prevent chaos along the coast, shipping has always been prohibited. ”

However, if it is really as Liu Yunmian said, it is very profitable, then it is not necessarily impossible to try.

Liu Yunmian was thinking about running away, and Lu Ci was thinking about silver.

Liu Yunmian said disgustedly: "What, I'm hungry for you?" ”

Sister is rich!

Sister is super rich!

In the past two years, with Xiao Hui's help, she has made a lot of money just by relying on shampoo and contraceptive pills!

Now calculated, there must be tens of thousands of taels.

She's a rich woman, come and hug her thighs!

Lu Ci rubbed her chest hard, "It's the other way around!" ”

Liu Yunmian: Hey, hey, hey, let you hug your thighs, don't mess around!

"How much money do you want, I'll give it to you!" She is very arrogant.

Sister can afford it!

Lu Ci scolded with a smile: "Don't kick your nose in the face, my anger hasn't subsided yet, don't arch the fire, it's irresponsible." ”

Liu Yunmian laughed.

People are addicted to vegetables, it's her.

Come on, come on, get serious, get down to business!

"What I want is not tens of thousands of taels of silver."

"Hey, hey, your meat is so valuable, or I can't afford it?" Liu Yunmian snorted.

Lu Ci laughed angrily at her, turned the person over, and slapped it twice, "Yin and Yang weird again?" ”

Liu Yunmian kicked him, and the two made a mess.

After laughing, Lu Ci explained to her what happened.

"At the time of the Chinese New Year, didn't the emperor reveal his tone and say that he wanted to build the canal again?"

Liu Yunmian nodded.

She remembered that there was such a thing.

Not only that, but the king of the county is particularly opposed.

She once thought that if the father and son fell out again, don't implicate others!

Lu Ci is unlucky, but she is willing to share weal and woe; But she didn't want to drag her family down.

Although my father does not say that his career is developed now, he is very satisfied with the position of persuading farmers and is full of enthusiasm.

Everyone else is doing well now, don't be implicated because of her.

"If I'm not mistaken, after the completion of the military power reform, or even before it is completed, the emperor will be eager to push forward this matter."

Liu Yunmian remembered Lu Ci's worries before, and said, "Are you worried that you have taken a big step and pulled the egg." ”

Lu Ci: "......"

Don't say it, it's really vivid.

It's a good thing, but it's not necessarily right now.

There is a lack of money, and there is a shortage of people.

It's easy to say that there is a shortage of people, if the court can come up with money, people will grab a handful.

But the problem is that I am afraid that the imperial court will not only not be able to pay the people, but will also have to increase taxes, and at the same time make the people serve as servants.

This is all about money and effort, who doesn't have an opinion?

The fact that the reform has finally come to this point has already aroused a counterattack from many people with vested interests.

However, this move did not affect the people, so there was no opposition from the people.

However, if the great project of widening the canal were to be added immediately, the people's resentment would also boil.

When two disparate things come together, it can have unbearable consequences.

The king of the county is not enthusiastic about people, but he has the people in his heart.

He is unwilling to continue to make the people unable to sustain himself for the sake of the false name of "Emperor of the Ages" when the war is now going on and the burden on the people is already very heavy.

Therefore, he was firmly against it.

In this regard, Lu Ci was worried.

He said: "At the moment, the emperor has not made up his mind, so he has not mentioned it for the time being. But when I listen to the emperor's tone, I should also want to move. I'm worried that the king of the county will stop me...... So if you can have silver, it's the best. ”

Money is not everything.

But money can solve nine out of nine difficult problems.

It's the same whether it's a family or a country.

Liu Yunmian frowned, "I think you're thinking too simply." ”

At the present level of development of the productive forces, it will probably take several years to build a large ship large enough to go to sea.

Then travel across the ocean to trade, barter, and the cycle is calculated in years.

Far water can't quench the thirst of the near.

After listening to her, Lu Ci nodded and said, "I also know what you said, but can you give the emperor a hope?" Let him wait a few more years? ”

Wait until the sea can make money back, and then build a big fortification?

Liu Yunmian is not so optimistic.

If the emperor could wait, he wouldn't be in such a hurry now.

After thinking about it, Lu Ci also felt that there was little hope.

But in any case, there is a way to make money in front of us, even if it can't solve the current predicament, it can always be used in the future.

Who doesn't like having a lot of money?

"Sleep." Lu Ci said, "I will take this matter to heart." ”

Shipbuilding is imperative.

Whether it's to reassure Liu Yunmian, or to consider the overall situation.

Liu Yunmian was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyelids, pulled him to lie down together, nestled in his arms, adjusted a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep.

Lu Ci woke up in the dark for a long time before falling asleep.

The next day, Liu Yunmian went to see Mrs. Han and the second young grandmother of the Han family with the prepared bedding and food, and comforted her.

Unexpectedly, the second young grandmother of the Han family was very strong, and she didn't say anything about her predicament, but only begged Liu Yunmian to send her mother-in-law some ointment for back pain, which made Liu Yunmian admire it from the bottom of her heart.
