The whole study fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

In the end, it was Yang Dong who took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Your Majesty, do you think that there is a shadow of Great Qin behind this?"

"Aside from Great Qin, I can't imagine any other force that can afford to support an army of this size."

Hearing this, Yang Dong frowned, subconsciously raised his palm, and gently stroked his head.

If so...... I'm afraid this matter is getting more and more troublesome. ”

The empress thought deeply and bowed slightly. saw a smile on Yang Dong's cheeks. She was suddenly puzzled, and couldn't help but ask:

"Xiao Dongzi, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing."

Yang Dong shook his head slightly, but he raised his head, staring at Ji Ziyue with a pair of eyes, and only when he felt a little uncomfortable staring at her did he speak:

"Don't you think, Your Majesty, that this is a godsend?"

"How can such a calamity be a godsend? Xiao Dongzi, you don't want to be fooled! ”

The empress glared at Yang Dong fiercely, raised her jade hand and pinched him on the shoulder.

Yang Dong snorted bitterly and hurriedly explained:

"Hiss~ It hurts! Your Majesty spares my life, I am not deceiving Your Majesty, please give me a chance to explain! ”

"Hmph, let's hear it. If I find out that you are deliberately fooling me, I will definitely not spare you, understand? ”

The empress glared at Yang Dong fiercely, but gently put down her jade hand.

On the other side, Yang Dong rubbed his shoulders with grinned teeth, and then said aggrievedly:

"Your Majesty, doesn't you think that this matter is a good thing for Da Zhou?"

"Now although those armies are under Yang Yan's command. It is an indisputable fact that the management is chaotic and the morale of the soldiers is low. ”

"Besides, even if Great Qin has the heart to help, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gather the supplies needed by so many armies for a while. And this can show that Daqin and the anti-thief Yang Yan will not attack our Great Zhou in a short period of time, which is one of the good things. ”

"As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and now that the people's livelihood in the Great Zhou Dynasty is withering and the treasury is empty, if we take the opportunity to reduce these redundant armies, we can put more treasury spending on people's livelihood and scientific research. In this way, Da Zhou can not only quickly recover his vitality, but also take the opportunity to develop science and technology to reduce the dimension and attack the other party. ”

Seeing Yang Dong's sworn appearance, the empress's pair of red phoenix eyes flickered non-stop. She groaned for a long time, but her eyes became brighter and brighter. It's just that in this brightness, there is a faint incomprehension.

"Xiao Dongzi, I probably understand what you mean, but what do you mean by science and technology and dimensionality reduction?"

"Ah, that's the term from my hometown."

Yang Dong scratched his head and gave a flawed explanation.

"The so-called science and technology is to enhance one's combat effectiveness through technical means. For example, today's cold palace manufacturing institute is the most basic scientific and technological means. And the gunpowder it produces, even His Majesty can see its war potential. ”

The empress thought so, and bowed slightly:

"The power of gunpowder, I understand. If it is as you say, this science and technology should indeed be vigorously developed. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Yang Dong took the opportunity to send a sycophant, and then continued to talk endlessly.

"Actually, Your Majesty, this development of science and technology is not just a model of the Cold Palace Manufacturing Institute. Since we plan to establish a scientific system, we need to improve the supporting education and talent reserve system. ”

"Today's Lanxiang Academy was established in accordance with this concept. But without the support of the imperial court, the talents it can cultivate are very few. ”

"So...... Xiao Dongzi, do you want to take this opportunity to vigorously promote your Lanxiang education model? ”

The empress's eyes wandered, and then the willow eyebrows frowned slightly.

"This matter is very important, if you really carry it out, you will risk the world's condemnation. Even if I come forward, I'm afraid I may not be able to protect you. ”

"Xiao Dongzi, Da Zhou has been the world of scholars since ancient times. Even if I am I, I only rule the world with scholars. And what you want to do is kill them all. What do you think will happen to the people who read the world? ”

When Yang Dong heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

He had only thought about reform before, but he had just ignored these so-called scholars.

Thinking about the time when Lanxiang Academy was built, I am afraid that His Majesty also helped a lot in secret.

If it weren't for His Majesty's secret protection, I am afraid that my Lanxiang Academy would not be so easy to build.

Thinking of this, Yang Dong only felt warm in his heart, so he kissed the empress's majestic cheek.

However, his operation was as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest.

I saw that the empress frowned slightly, raised her jade hand and planned to fan it.

Yang Dong hesitated, but he didn't make a move to stop him, but just turned his face sideways, letting the slap on the back of his head.

"Xiao Dongzi, what are you doing? I'm talking to you about business, and if you come back to me, even if I am interested in you, I will definitely punish you severely. Do you understand? ”

Seeing that the empress was so serious, Yang Dong had a strange feeling in his heart.

If one day, you can show this attitude and do that with yourself, it will have a different flavor.

Gee...... It's a pity that the time hasn't come. I haven't completely occupied all of Yourong's mind and everything.

Thinking so, Yang Dong had to lick the corners of his mouth with a little regret, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I just saw Your Majesty's peerless face, and I was so amazed that I couldn't help myself, and I asked Your Majesty to atone for your sins."

When the empress heard this, her gloomy cheeks softened slightly. She snorted coldly and said:

"For the sake of you being a first-time offender, I will spare you this time, and if there is a next time, I will be severely punished."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty! Since the time has not yet come, let's take a long-term view of the establishment of the college. ”

Only then did the empress bow slightly, and continued to ask:

"And the dimensionality reduction strike, what does it mean? I've never heard that word before. ”

"Uh...... This is explained. It's a bit of a hassle. Let me give your Majesty an example. Your Majesty can know that the mantis arm is used as a car? ”

"The so-called dimensionality reduction strike means that we are cars, and then Jin and Daqin are praying mantises."

"Xiao Dongzi, beware of flashing your tongue when you say big things!"

The empress scolded with a smile, and her expression suddenly became strange.

She seemed to remember something, and suddenly spoke:

"That's right, little Dongzi. You've just returned to the palace? ”

Yang Dongzheng was talking about it, and suddenly heard this question, and his expression froze slightly.

"Your Majesty, as soon as I returned to the palace, I naturally went straight to the study to meet Your Majesty."

"In that case, I don't think you know about it."
