Liu Xinyu's words led countless eyes to focus on Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao said calmly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Hao knows about industry and commerce, but he doesn't know much about Jiandu and so on. Zhang Hao couldn't give the right advice at his own expense, so he could only hide it.

I didn't think about it, but I still couldn't escape His Majesty's eyes. ”

"Oh...... Really?" Liu Xinyu looked at Zhang Hao with a smile, "However, I still want to hear your advice." Your Excellency our Minister of Industry and Commerce!"

Zhang Hao touched his nose, thought for a while and said, "I really have a suggestion, but ...... It can be absurd. ”

"Tell me about it. "His Majesty Liu Xinyu is very happy. Today I finally became the empress, and my heart was happy. And for some reason, Her Majesty the Empress really wanted to 'tease' Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao looked at Liu Xinyu with a little excited expression in his eyes that seemed to be a little devil, and his heart was suddenly vigilant - there is a demonic spirit! It seems that she has become a female queen, Liu Xinyu is a little excited.

Zhang Hao thought for a moment before he said slowly: "Your Highness, let me tell you a little story. The story is simple: there was a besieged city, rich and powerful, and outside the city was a wilderness inhabited by all peoples.

The city is rich, but it needs blood transfusions outside the city, but the powerful are worried about the people outside the city. They were so frightened that they trapped themselves in the city. And deep down, they yearn for the outside of the city. Outside the city is vast, free and calm.

But people outside the city don't think so. They yearn for the city and want to be the best men. But the passage inside the city was closed, and there was a lot of vigilance outside the city.

There is only one way for people from outside the city to enter the city and become human beings...... Attack the city!

Since then, the story of the siege has been repeated. ”

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he stopped talking. Instead, wait quietly. The story is simple, but it's also thought-provoking.

Liu Xinyu frowned slightly, and she tried to ask: "You mean, the city...... Don't want walls?"

"Your Majesty is indeed wise. Actually, I don't think it's necessary to build a city. It is not excluded that the city wall defense is very good, but if the enemy hits the imperial capital, how useful can it be to have a city wall?

On the contrary, the construction of the city wall is actually a typical painting of the ground, self-contained, and isolated from the people. As long as there are walls, society will be divided into two parts: inside and outside, and this will inevitably lead to internal and external conflicts.

In my opinion, the imperial capital should not build a city wall, but should face the whole country with the most enlightened attitude.

The real walls of an imperial capital should be the people of this country. And the hope of the country should not be pinned on the cold city walls. ”

Wu Fanghai immediately objected: "If there is no city wall, once we lose the war, what will we use to defend ourselves? Victory or defeat in a war is a common thing in soldiers, and no one can guarantee that they will win forever." ”

"General Wu, although I don't know much about military affairs, I understand that it is impossible to win a victory in defense! Only by attacking and attacking again can we win the war.

Maybe this is a bit extreme, but I have enough evidence.

Taking the Great Patriotic War as an example, was there any war in which we relied on defense to gain the initiative? No, not once!

The first great victory was the appearance of artillery, and we took the initiative to attack after the artillery, killing and capturing more than 70,000 enemy troops.

This second great victory was a turning point for us, after capturing Huaishan Pass, and then occupying Yunhaiguan in the country of Jinyang.

The third big victory was when Dugu Junjie in the north lured the enemy deep and killed 128 Yuan infants of the enemy army in one go. If it weren't for the appearance of the final incarnation period, we could hopefully annihilate the entire Northern Legion of the Kingdom of Jinyang.

And General Wu, you retreated all the way, and you also took the initiative to attack, rather than passively defending.

Until the end, we killed the two Transformation Gods, and even after the final victory in the war, we were still attacking.

Only by attacking can victory be achieved.

Even the common people know that there are only thieves for a thousand days, and there are no thieves for a thousand days!"

Wu Fanghai frowned slightly, he knew that what Zhang Hao said was extreme and had many fallacies, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it for a while.

And Zhang Hao's reason is really suitable, at least for now.

Wu Fanghai was still thinking, and Zhang Hao added, "I think it is enough to keep the border defense and the city walls near the border defense."

In addition, there is a clear shift in this Protectorate War, and that is ...... Technological advancements!

The changes brought about by technological progress are most obvious. This time, whether it's artillery, dark iron, or steel, it's all crucial. So next, we should shift in the direction of technology. And the core of industry and commerce is also technology.

It would be an astronomical amount if all the cities in the country were to build walls, but what if those costs were invested in technical research?

The walls will age, and they need to be constantly strengthened and maintained. But technology is constantly evolving, and as long as it matures, it is a cash cow.

For example, Zhang's Xuantie technology!

Many people suspect that the cost of Dayang Group's dark iron should be very low, but the dark iron from the Zhang family will still be robbed. ”

"Oh...... So how much does the dark iron cost of Dayang Group?" Liu Xinyu flexibly inserted a sentence. Zhang Hao didn't seem to care about anything else, she just cared about this.

Zhang Hao glanced at Liu Jingming next to him, and said with a faint smile: "Traditional ...... One out of five!"

In fact, it is lower, but Zhang Hao and Liu Jingming said this cost price, which was said when they helped Liu Jingming mint Xuantie coins and stabilize the value of market currency.

Liu Xinyu nodded, and then asked, "Zhang Hao, technical ...... How to study?"

"Market!" Zhang Hao said with a smile, "The demand of the market will naturally promote the progress of technology." What I'm talking about here is a free-market economic model.

For example, the spiritual rice we need the most, the market needs a lot of spiritual rice all the time. Good spiritual rice is as big as a thumb, crystal clear like a jewel, but the price is expensive; poor spiritual rice is like soybeans, which can only be fed to horses, and no one cares.

And the market's expectation is that the quality is getting better and the price is getting lower and lower.

As long as His Highness liberalizes the market and allows free competition, and guarantees legal free competition, the comptoirs and even farmers who own the output of Ling rice will try to improve their planting techniques and increase the yield per mu.

In the past, the big families have always been added to the peasants, so that the peasants have no enthusiasm for production. But now His Majesty only needs to set up special exchanges in each county to allow farmers to buy and sell their goods freely, and to ensure that there will be no oppression of the people in the local area.

I believe that in three years at most, the people will be able to significantly improve the yield and quality of Lingmi, and the price will be greatly reduced.

There is also the textile industry, as far as I know, there are already many commercial houses in the textile machine, has made progress. It's just that the market in the past and the lack of revitalization, coupled with the limitations of cotton and linen silk, have led to the inability to implement the technology.

If Your Majesty sets up a special textile trading market, I believe that changes will be seen in two years. ”

"That makes sense. But whether it's three or two years, I feel ...... It's been a bit long!" Liu Xinyu finally began to call himself 'I'. The first time I called myself, it seemed a little awkward.

Zhang Hao immediately replied: "Then promote the patent system." So that some people can survive on the technology license, then they can focus on the technology.

For example, Huang Mingshan and others of the Zhang family have been in charge of technical research; they only study technology and hand over mature technology to other production departments.

Another example is the Zhang family, within the Dayang Group and within the Refining Guild, through technology authorization, to promote the common growth of both parties.

The Refining Guild and the representatives of the Dayang Group have obtained the technology and can be put into production as soon as possible, while the Zhang family has received the support of wealth and can continue more technical research. ”

Liu Xinyu was thoughtful, and she gradually understood the direction of the country's development in the future. But it was still a little hazy for a while. In the following days, Liu Xinyu discussed these with everyone.

There's so much to think about in a brand new country.

And in the past few days, various strategies have also been introduced.

Expand the city, and reorganize the management system of the market, grasp everything in the hands of the state, add special farmers' markets, textile markets, etc., to allow free trade, and at the same time be vigilant against all kinds of possible illegal activities.

In order to ensure the good functioning of the market, the punishment for violating the law is very severe, and in serious cases, it may even be sentenced to death. In troubled times, heavy rituals are used, and now a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, and a small start will never be allowed.

There are also taxes, the tax on agricultural products is very low, only one percent, and when it comes to spiritual goods, the tax rate is as high as one-tenth.

One-tenth, which is basically the tax rate previously set by the state. The difference is that in the past, although there was a tax rate, it was difficult for the state to order it to reach the localities, and the localities were controlled by the clans. The tax revenue that the state can really receive is only 2 percent.

In addition, under the facilitation of Zhang Hao, there are also national roads that have been added for commercial circulation.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. But the cost of building a road is not low. It is said that the cost of building the road is very expensive. If you want to repair the passage of the whole country in one go, the current country of Qixia will not be able to take out so much money at all.

And Zhang Hao's method is very good: contract to individuals.

The state re-surveys the roads in each region, classifies them into different grades according to their condition and importance, and each industrial and commercial group bids for repairs.

After the road is repaired, the cost can be recovered and the profit can be made by collecting tolls. The state sets the highest standards for tolls to prevent some groups from having cramps in their heads.

For some firms that do not take things seriously after bidding, severe penalties will be given. The maximum penalty can be to take back the right to collect road tolls and let the investment go down the drain. Of course, the state must also specify certain indicators, and cannot be arbitrary.

In order to try out the bidding rules, this time the newly built imperial capital in Jianwu County adopted the bidding method. The construction of each urban area is open to bidding, and permanent responsibility signs are left, and once there is a problem, the parties are immediately found, all losses are compensated, and even sentences will be imposed.

Another evening, an event interrupted this unprecedented discussion. Yan Qing and Zheng You, who went to the country of Yanyun to negotiate, returned. Sure enough, the country of Yanyun refused-we have all occupied more than half of the territory of the country of Zhoushan, and you actually let us withdraw, how is that possible!

And at the moment, it seems that with more effort, it will be enough to destroy the entire country of Zhoushan, and the fool will let go.

Not only that, but the country of Yanyun also insulted Yan Qing and Zheng You, as well as the country of Qixia - two little guys who barely reached the Jindan stage can represent the country of Qixia, the country of Qixia is really a soft egg, and women in power are really childish.

In the end, Zheng You said with an ugly face, "Your Majesty, the crown prince of the country of Yanyun also threatened that when he penetrated the country of Zhoushan, he would go to the country of Qixia to find the empress ...... 'play'." ”

After listening to the report, Liu Xinyu showed a cold smile, "Okay, play with me?" Okay, you don't need him to come over, I will take the initiative to go over! General Wu Fanghai!"

"In. ”

"Immediately lead the army to go out immediately! In addition, when you encounter the soldiers of the country of Yanyun, you will not leave any prisoners! Tell them that the reason why this is the case is because their prince has a way to take his death! It must be widely publicized!"

"Understood!" Wu Fanghai did not refuse.

This time, the country of Yanyun bumped into the tip of Liu Xinyu's knife - Her Majesty, who had just ascended the throne, needed to establish a prestige to the outside world. Since this country of Yanyun dares to speak out, let's be prepared to be retaliated.

Liu Xinyu has never been a person who can't fight back, scold and don't fight back. Don't forget, the second article of the constitution that has just been established in the country of Qixia is: repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness. Because the family dragged its feet in the war, Liu Xinyu did not adopt the Huairou strategy, but took advantage of the victory...... Slaughter!

At the beginning, the prince wanted to take Liu Xinyu out with his relatives, but Liu Xinyu directly killed him without hesitation.

Now that Liu Xinyu has ascended the throne and taken power, he has jumped out of a prince of the country of Yanyun to insult, this is really not knowing how to write dead words.

Wu Fanghai left immediately, arrived in the north in less than half a day, and led the 100,000 troops that had been prepared long ago across the border of the country of Zhoushan.

These 100,000 troops are all real elites. 100,000 troops, armed with up to 300 artillery pieces and more than 3,000 mortars. It can be said that out of 100,000 troops, there are almost 10,000 artillerymen. This is already a completely metamorphosed army.

And the day after Wu Fanghai's departure, it was time for the country of Qixia and the country of Jinyang to negotiate after the war.

In this negotiation, the country of Qixia sent Zhao Duo and Zhang Hao as the main negotiators, and Feng Zhiling also followed, which can be regarded as the representative of the Xuanzhen Sect.

When Zhang Hao and his entourage arrived at Huaishan Pass, there were also people from the country of Jinyang who came to greet them.

There is no nonsense, and the greeting is also decent, when he came to the hall of the General's Mansion in Huaishan Pass, Zhang Hao saw the other party's negotiators, a lot, but Zhang Hao knew three, He Dongqi, as well as the crown prince Zhao Huaiyun, and the prince young master Wei Zirong.

Among them, I know He Dongqi because He Dongqi led more than 500 babies to attack Xinglin Hall.

And the prince and Wei Zirong needless to say, Wei Zirong has looked for Zhang Hao many times, and the prince also wanted to assassinate Zhang Hao, but Feng Zhiling grabbed that wisp of Yuan Shen and stuffed it into a puppet.

Seeing the prince, Zhang Hao took out a small wooden figure from the storage ring and played with it. The prince's eyes shifted with a brush, and he forgot even the words of welcome.

(I finished two shifts in the morning, and I haven't eaten breakfast since I typed at six o'clock.) Asking for a ticket. I'll eat first. ）
