Start with papermaking.

Guo Tianyi has successively improved farm tools, produced colored glass, and improved many facilities such as farmland water conservancy.

It can be said that Guo Tianyi, with the knowledge that has been leading the world for thousands of years, is the biggest hole card.

At the same time, it also increases Guo Tianyi's sense of mystery.

Today, Guo Tianyi's concept of the Silk Road is also incomprehensible to civil and military officials.

Therefore, the prime minister was naturally the first to take the lead in asking.

"Good question, Prime Minister."

"My so-called Silk Road is the cornerstone of the empire on which the sun never sets."

"We are in the Great Feng Dynasty, although the land is vast and the fields are fertile for thousands of miles, there are also many poor people."

"There are still large areas of desert Gobi in the western region, and the life of the people there is even more difficult."

"My heart hurts!"

Speaking of this, many ministers showed admiration.

What is a generation of Mingjun?

Here it is.

Since Guo Tianyi ascended the throne, all policies have been focused on improving people's livelihood.

For this, the imperial court spent a lot of silver.

It is not a small amount of money to renovate a large number of farmland and water conservancy, and to repair people's houses.

There are many dilapidated earthwork houses in the villages close to the capital, and Guo Tianyi can't imagine what the more remote and impoverished areas are like.

Originally, the court obtained a lot of silver from the suppression of princes and corrupt officials.

There are also Guo Tianyi's papermaking skills, and Liuli and others have also earned a lot of silver.

But if you want to transform the huge Great Feng Dynasty, these silver are tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

The amount of silver spent in the last six months alone is more than three times the total amount of silver in the national treasury on a normal day.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word." Huang Bo, the head of the household, stood up and said, "The minister knows that His Majesty loves the people like a son, but now that most of the silver in the treasury has been spent, a part of it must be reserved for uncontrollable events such as wars and natural disasters..."

The so-called inappropriate family does not know the price of firewood and rice.

Hubu Shangshu was startled when he heard Guo Tianyi say about the people.

thought that Guo Tianyi was going to spend a lot of money again.

Indeed, Guo Tianyi is a Ming monarch, and the releases are all benevolent policies.

But in Huang Bo's view, haven't people always lived like this?

It is already in place to transform farmland and water conservancy and help people repair houses.

There are also a large number of new agricultural tools for rent, and life is already good for the people.

But the treasury can't withstand such a toss?

Before, the treasury was quite abundant, but now the treasury is also tight.

There is also the possibility of war with Wu at any time outside the northern frontier.

In case the military budget is insufficient, it will be difficult to do.

"Huang Aiqing."

"I know why you're worried."

"This Silk Road is a financial road that makes money for my Dafeng, and I can continue to earn a huge amount of money for Dafeng."

Guo Tianyi didn't blame Huang Bo, but calmly explained, which shocked the officials.

What?

A steady stream of money?

Wealth?

There is no mistake.

What exactly is this route?

All the officials were extremely curious, looking at Guo Tianyi, ready to listen to Guo Tianyi's words.

"There are three Silk Roads." Guo Tianyi said confidently, "The first one is to the west, passing through the Wu State to the countries of the Western Regions, and the second is to the south, passing through Yunchuan Road to the south to the countries of Yi. ”

"I am a great land, but my great dedication to silk, tea, porcelain, glass, papermaking, etc. are leading the world, if these things flow out, they can be exchanged for a lot of money and resources."

"Your Majesty, what about the third one?" Yuwen Yuanzhen's eyes lit up, he felt that it was completely feasible, and said excitedly.

If it is according to His Majesty's vision.

This Silk Road is indeed the most profitable way.

You can even earn taxes for 10 or even 20 years in a year.

"Article 3."

"It's going to be done in the future, Hai. on the Silk Road. ”

"Our Dafeng is surrounded by the sea in the east, and through the East China Sea, you can reach Europa and other parts of the world."

When the words fell, one of the ministers was puzzled, "Your Majesty, where is Europa?" ”

These ministers know at most about the Western Regions, the Southern Yi States, and the Rus' Empire beyond.

Where do you know what Europa is?

"Huh."

"Li Aiqing."

"Europa, but no less than a confederation of the Rus Empire."

"This world is much bigger than you think."

"If I want to conquer the world, these three Silk Roads are the cornerstones, otherwise everything is delusional!"

"Hiss~"

"Hiss~"

As soon as the words fell, a gasp sounded in the Jinluan Palace.

Guo Tianyi's knowledge has amazed many ministers.

Guo Tianyi's foresight also made them sigh to themselves.

But there will definitely be opponents of this kind of thing, and Zhu Changgui, a cabinet veteran, stood up and frowned, "Your Majesty, those Nanyi countries are all barbarian lands, won't dealing with them lose my face?" Also, now that the relationship between Wu and my Dafeng is tense, it is not easy for Your Majesty to open up the Silk Road to the west? ”

"Zhu Aiqing." Guo Tianyi waved his hand and said lightly, "Your consideration is not unreasonable, I decided to open the road to the south first, the Nanyi countries are already neighbors with my Dafeng, and there is a big country no less than Dafeng outside the Nanyi countries, that is the end point of my Dafeng to the south to develop the Silk Road." ”

"Hiss~"

Yuwen Yuan Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, the countries of Nanyi are all small countries, and there is a big country that is no less than my Dafeng outside of them?" ”

For his own student, Yuwen Yuanzhen couldn't see through it at all.

How did he know that this world was a parallel world exactly the same as the ancient China in Guo Tianyi's memory.

In Guo Tianyi's mind, there is a complete map of the world.

"Not bad."

"The country is called the country of cow dung."

"The ox is their sacred object, and the land is vast and rich in resources."

"As long as we open up the passage of the Nanyi countries and build a road, the elite of our Dafeng can go straight south to occupy the cow dung country."

"When the time comes, hundreds of millions of people in the country of cow dung will be my laborers."

Guo Tianyi spoke domineeringly, making the eyes of the officials present almost fall out.

Originally.

The world is so big.

From this point of view, Dabong is indeed nothing.

Who would have thought that in addition to the Nanyi Kingdom south of Yunchuan Road, there is also a huge cow dung country?

It's just that...

The name is kind of hilarious.

Some ministers couldn't help but laugh a little.

How can there be such a funny name?

"Your Majesty, is it really called the country of cow dung?" Yuwen Yuanzhen smiled and said, "In this world, there is such a funny name?" ”

"Not bad." Guo Tianyi smiled and said, "Not only do they love to touch cow dung on their bodies, but they are also the only country in the world that makes their food like, but the most important thing here is people, and their army is nothing compared to the elite of my Dafeng..."

In a few words, Guo Tianyi made the ministers' eyes shine.

If this is really what His Majesty said.

That would be an exaggeration.

Such a place, if you don't occupy it and become a colony, it's simply sorry for your ancestors?
