Chapter 295 Seeking the Country
[Question solution: Some people say that the protagonist is really aggrieved, why don't you rebel. Personally, I disagree with this kind of thinking.
There are many powerful ministers in history, why didn't they rebel? Quite simply, they couldn't resist the general trend of the world.
They can dominate the world, but their rights are taken from the emperor. Without the emperor, they are just courtiers with some power. To give an example of the limit, such as the eunuch dictatorship.
Back to this book, Zhang Hao and the Zhang family are in a similar situation. Zhang Haocai has been running the family for less than a year, and his foundation simply cannot compete with the influence of the royal family for thousands of years.
Zhang Hao can be domineering and can defy the monarch - it's no problem to charge ahead and make a rafter with his head, but if he wants to be the monarch himself, everyone doesn't agree!
Another example is the presidential election, which is manipulated by the conglomerates, but these conglomerates themselves will not jump out and directly control the country.
Thank you for your comments, welcome to put forward, Tianya will answer in a unified manner. 】
In front of the imperial mausoleum, hundreds of thousands of people chanted 'kneel' in a neat manner, what kind of scene was it? It was really like waves of the sea, constantly impacting Zhang Hao's spirit.
Zhang Hao, a bystander, is still like this, not to mention Zhao Huaiyun, the prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang, who is at the core.
It's just that after seeing Zhao Huaiyun really kneeling, Zhang Hao was a little dumbfounded. There was cheering all around, but Zhang Hao frowned a little. In the "Huaishanguan Treaty" signed at the beginning, although there was an apology, there was no kneeling.
If you really kneel, you are not apologizing, but 'being humiliated'.
But the next moment, Zhang Hao smiled helplessly, knelt and knelt, and said that those were useless. Zhang Hao is more concerned now: Is this Zhao Huaiyun kneeling down because his mind was taken away, or is it ...... Kneeling on your own?
If the mind is taken away and he kneels, the person is not worthy of attention. But if it is actively kneeling, then this is a hero. It's the kind of hero who can bend and stretch, kneel and stand up!
Different premises, but very different results. But soon Zhang Hao smiled bitterly, looking at Zhao Huaiyun's unwavering figure, looking at the clenched hands, thinking about the situation when Zhao Huaiyun ordered the killing of the Dingshan Daoist without hesitation, Zhang Hao concluded that this Zhao Huaiyun was a hero.
Thinking about it, when they met for the first time, Zhao Huaiyun was able to bury a Yuan Infant Spiritual Sense in the jade box - at that time, Zhang Hao was only in the middle stage of foundation building, and if he really wanted to be drilled into his mind by this wisp of spiritual knowledge, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhang Hao was vigilant in his heart, but he was also thinking, should he find an opportunity to kill this Zhao Huaiyun? Dare to make a bad hand on himself, this decisiveness can't be kept!
However, Zhao Huaiyun is the prince of a country after all, and it is not easy to kill him, and within the scope of Qixia Country, Zhang Hao has to ensure the safety of this guy 100%.
It's a pain to see an ungrown, but extremely dangerous enemy in front of you and unable to do so.
Zhang Hao found out, and Liu Xinyu also found out. But seeing Liu Xinyu walking quickly to Zhao Huaiyun's side, he bowed down and asked Zhao Huaiyun to get up, giving enough face. "I know Your Highness regrets it, but it doesn't need to be so. The confession of His Highness we have seen. The friendship between our two countries will surely be restored to its original state. ”
Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Xinyu finally did not drop the chain, and saved the situation at a critical time. Of course, as for Liu Xinyu's sentence "The friendship between the two countries will be restored as before", just listen to it, don't take it seriously. That's just a good remark for the occasion.
The solemn funeral was busy until late at night. At this time, there are already many things waiting for Liu Xinyu to deal with.
The success of the voyage caused a shock in the six Western countries. The other five countries have sent envoys to cooperate with the country of Qixia in navigation. To be exact, they wanted to get a lot of cheap pills and so on from the country of Qixia. Everyone has been exploited by the East for too long and desperately wants to make a change.
Before I knew it, it was the second half of the night, Zhang Hao, Liu Xinyu, Zhou Jue, Zhao Duo, Wu Fanghai, Liu Jingming, Xu Jie, etc., were all discussing: everyone invested unimaginable enthusiasm for this brand-new country.
Now everyone is talking about how to deal with the rest of the five Western countries.
The matter of the state is not so simple, and the various considerations are very complex.
The country of Danyang is still in chaos, and the royal family of the country of Danyang has taken refuge in the country of Canglan - this betrays the tone of the six western countries.
The Kingdom of Jinyang had just been defeated and signed an unequal treaty, but on the surface, the Land of Qixia said that everyone's friendship was as good as ever—so how to operate it was also a troublesome matter.
The country of Zhoushan in the north and the country of Qixia in the past were brothers and sisters, and now they have been ruined by the country of Yanyun, which is very difficult and urgently needs care.
There is also the country of Zhongshan, in the past, the country of Zhongshan and the country of Qixia had a good relationship, and the country of Zhongshan traded the most star essence gold to the country of Qixia, and the price was relatively fair. Moreover, in addition to the Star Essence Gold, there are also scarce spiritual materials such as Taibai Essence Gold in the country of Zhongshan, which needs to be taken care of and wooed.
Finally, there is the country of Yanyun. The country is still strong, although it has just retreated under the joint resistance of the country of Qixia, the country of Zhoushan, and the country of Zhongshan, but its war power has not been lost. Coupled with the fact that a large amount of resources were snatched from the country of Zhoushan before, it is now exuding an unsettling atmosphere.
Of course, in the eyes of the country of Yanyun, the current country of Qixia really exudes an unsettling atmosphere. But I'm sorry, the initiative is now in the hands of the country of Qixia.
Invisibly, the country of Qixia actually has the posture of a world policeman; but at the moment, the world policeman in the country of Qixia has no guns, only batons, and cannot scare some bullies! For example, the country of Yanyun is not convinced.
Everyone discussed until dawn, and Liu Xinyu finally slapped the table, "I have decided to win over the country of Zhoushan and the country of Zhongshan, and sell the pill to the two countries at the same price, so that the two countries can control the price of the pill in the country of Yanyun." We don't take the initiative to meddle.
Anyway, the country of Yanyun is isolated in the northwest corner and cannot be directly connected to the east.
As for the country of Jinyang, considering that the country of Jinyang has direct exchanges with the East, we cannot push the country of Jinyang to the East. Therefore, the price of the pill will be available at an affordable price.
And the land of Danyang...... Since this country has taken refuge in the vicissitudes of the East, it is a traitor to our West. They should be blocked.
What do you think?"
Everyone nodded, only Zhang Hao was there thoughtfully.
Liu Xinyu turned his head to look at Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, you haven't talked much all night, do you have any suggestions?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao looked at everyone, and finally looked at Liu Xinyu: "Your Majesty, I have an idea, but it is not very mature. Say it...... Don't laugh, everyone. ”
Liu Xinyu smiled faintly: "Really...... So let's talk about it. ”
Zhang Hao said slowly and thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, we are ...... now It should be regarded as the 'pioneer' of the western countries of the Fertile Continent. We have the responsibility, the obligation, and the ability to lead the West out of a different future.
The West of the Fertile Land Continent I am talking about includes not only our six countries, but also the Qingyun Country in the north, and even the Taihua Country in the east, etc., the entire large range of the West of the Fertile Earth Continent.
If our country wants to rise and become a real great power, then it must have an open mind and absorb all help.
As the saying goes, the sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great!
I believe that we should unite all the countries that can be united now, and from now on we should be determined to compete with the country of Langya in the East.
We must strive to build the country of Qixia into the western outlet of the Fertile Continent, so that the resources of the Fertile Continent can go out from us. In this way, we will naturally have access to countless resources and strengthen the country.
And as long as the country grows, it will be much easier for us to do anything else.
Also, if all the resources go from us, then the industrial and commercial class of our country will grow rapidly. And as long as the industrial and commercial class on our side grows, we can in turn influence the surrounding countries through the industrial and commercial class. At that time, we will use the industrial and commercial class as a springboard to try to devour the surrounding countries!"
The crowd suddenly stopped talking.
Liu Xinyu clasped his hands together, and there was a light called ambition flashing in his eyes.
Zhang Hao's proposal...... The magnificent atmosphere directly calculated the entire west of the Fertile Continent. When everyone was still arguing over the price of the pill, Zhang Hao was directly promoted to the level of the real 'seeking eternity'.
It is a bit ...... for a high-level meeting of a country to discuss the price of pills after a high-level meeting all night I am sorry for the status of the country's top leaders.
Everyone listened to Zhang Hao's words, some people frowned, but some people were even more ashamed.
Xu Jie, who had not spoken much, finally spoke: "Your Majesty, I agree with Zhang Hao's proposal." However, Zhang Hao's proposal is only the general direction, and the specific thing is to return to the price and transaction of the pill this time. ”
Liu Xinyu nodded. Although it is necessary to return to the price, the meaning of this discussion of price is completely different from the previous meaning.
With the new ideological guidance, we quickly reformulated the new price system and external strategy.
The price of pills for Western countries...... Sold in unison, regardless of each other. Now is not the time to divide everyone, but to bring everyone together to break through the blockade and profit from it. But the empire will also allow the rest of the countries to compete and dump to ensure the absolute interests of the empire.
In addition, the country of perched xia also needs to show its muscles. Then, the country of Danyang, which has taken refuge in the country of Canglan, is the best target!
The country of Qixia will unite with the western countries to jointly send troops to 'correct' the mistakes of the country of Danyang.
How to "correct" the mistakes of the country of Danyang, Zhang Hao did not speak, and there was enough limelight.
This time, it was Liu Jingming who spoke. "I believe that we should unite the forces of all countries to help the country of Danyang put down the rebellion on the one hand, help them reunite, and in the process, appropriately disseminate our new ideas.
On the other hand, we also have to force the royal family of the country of Danyang to tear up the agreement signed with the country of Canglan and use strong means to bring the country of Danyang back!
I think that as long as this thing succeeds, we will become a very important member of the Western countries, and we will be qualified to adjudicate the internal affairs of other countries!"
Under the national strategy of industry and commerce, under the guidance of Zhang Hao, the country of Qixia is undergoing disturbing changes from within. This once-oppressed country is seeking the status of a great power from within!
Liu Xinyu stood up excitedly and turned his head to look at the new map on the wall—the new map, on the basis of the encompassing elephants, added navigation routes, added the territorial division of Western countries, etc.
After a while, Liu Xinyu turned his head to Prime Minister Zhao Duo and said, "Zhao Duo, you go and invite representatives of various countries, we will hold talks at noon." I can tell you one thing in advance, the country of Qixia will work with the Western countries to build prosperity together!"
When Zhao Duo left, Liu Xinyu directly held the court meeting. The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss the current situation in the country. The recent development and changes in the country of Qixia are somewhat dizzying, and the explosive power of the industrial and commercial class far exceeds Liu Xinyu's expectations, and even exceeds Zhang Hao's expectations.
No matter how many problems this perched Xia country had in the past, after all, there are thousands of years of accumulation. Now that it has exploded, its powerful power is pushing the country of Qixia to transform in an unknown direction.
Everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and they don't know whether this is a leap or a fall.
The first thing to talk about is this year's autumn harvest. The autumn harvest was similar to the previous year's yield, but the results were different. After the people left their rations, the rest was sold in large quantities. Because of the lack of intermediary exploitation by the aristocracy, the price of food in the country fell sharply, which led to more people pouring into the city.
And now the city ...... There is already a shift to the city. Some of the castles have been stripped of their walls, and roads have been paved with stones from the walls.
It seems that the land of perched xia is transitioning to a completely new urbanized country. But this change has made everyone feel bottomless, and even have some indescribable uneasiness. The kind of uneasiness that things change more than you can control.
In addition, with the advent of the contracting system, in less than two months, the country of Qixia has established a preliminary and perfect transportation network.
The power of industry and commerce has been vividly demonstrated in the process of building a country. With the improvement of the transportation network, toll booths with large and small messages have also been established.
The road from Ninghe County to Guangling City has been re-widened and reinforced. The road is made of completely rammed earth, comparable to a modern highway. What used to take two days to travel and pass through the homes of several nobles now can be reached in one day without stopping along the way.
Although there are toll booths in the middle, the state strictly regulates the toll collection situation to avoid confusion.
The development of industry and commerce is changing the country at an unprecedented rate. Let the entire country of Qixia move forward at high speed in an unfamiliar direction. That future, the high-level of the country of Qixia can't see and can't control it!
At this time, on the planning map of the country of Qixia, a total of six 'highways' have been completed. However, at the moment this 'highway' should be called 'galloping road'. But Zhang Hao has already named the 'highway' - an ultra-high-speed, public passage!
The six expressways crisscross as a whole, presenting a 'Tian' shape, but this 'Tian' character is out all around. Each node is a large, important city.
For the time being, Guangling City is located in the center of the word "Tian". The newly built imperial capital and Jianwu City are located in the middle node on the right side of the word 'Tian'.
The location of Zhangjia and Ninghe County is the node in the middle of the left side of the word 'Tian'.
Looking at the domestic planning map, Liu Xinyu pointed out that the highway must be extended to other countries. The country of Qixia will greet the world in the west of the Fertile Land Continent with passages, industry and commerce.
After discussing for a long time, Zhang Hao had another proposal: "Your Majesty, now that the main gallop roads in the country have been built, the domestic situation is stable, industry and commerce are developing greatly, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I think Your Majesty needs ...... It's time to patrol the country!
Inspect the country and tell all the people that Your Majesty has not forgotten them. Now it is even more important to visit them in person, to comfort them, and to convey His Majesty's concern.
At the same time, it also tells all the remaining nobles, families, etc., that their time has passed.
From now on, the power of the state is integrated from top to bottom, and the aristocracy can no longer overthrow the state by controlling the grassroots of the state. From now on, the country ...... There is no need for nobles and families anymore!
What we need is a new and motivated class of industry and commerce!"
Liu Xinyu's eyes brightened again: Inspecting the country?! Inspecting the country is the best commentary on the power of the monarch.
Yes, yes...... Let's make a round!
At the same time, we will also understand the impact of industry and commerce on the country.
