Volume 1 The Heroes of the Capital Chapter 59 Strategy

"Father, in addition to this stove, the sons also have floor heating, but compared with the stove, floor heating is more complicated, and the manpower, material and financial resources used are more......"

Lu Chengfeng began to speak at length, and it took a full half a quarter of an hour to tell all aspects of this floor heating, and the outside people who were very interested in the floor heating described by Lu Chengfeng were obviously very yearning, after all, this would allow them to avoid the bitter cold in winter.

Especially now the commodity economy of the Great Liang Dynasty is very developed, and there is a relatively complete commercial tax, so the treasury is relatively smart, even the emperor's private treasury is also rich, after all, so many Huangzhuang and Huangshang are a lot of income every year, and even since a few years ago, the income of Huangshang has exceeded Huangzhuang.

"This, I don't think it's anything, I will hand it over to the Ministry of Industry as a supervisor, and if there is any problem, let the person who will be the supervisor consult Chengfeng! After all, Chengfeng, as a deputy to the Privy Council, can't waste all his time on this kind of thing. ”

The emperor glanced at Lu Chengfeng quite meaningfully, although he also liked Lu Chengfeng's stove and floor heating very much, but Lu Chengfeng was a sharp blade in his hand after all, and he personally arranged it in the position of deputy envoy of the Privy Council. You can't let a deputy of the Privy Council do the work of the Ministry of Works, so it seems a bit arrogant.

This royal family banquet is not just a family banquet, after all, the royal family held a family banquet a year ago, and this family banquet is just a temporary addition, but even the emperor himself does not know that there will be so many episodes on this family banquet.

"In addition to these things, I still want to tell you about Princess Jinyang today, as the heir of my royal family, I actually had an affair with a monk, which is really insulting to the face of the royal family. Since then, Princess Jinyang has been grounded in the Yuqing Palace, and without permission, she is not allowed to step out of the Yuqing Palace for half a step.......

Lu Chengfeng knew that the situation was not good when he saw this, after all, if His Majesty really said it, then everything would be a foregone conclusion, if he was against the emperor, he would not only slap the emperor in the face, but also have a gap with the emperor in front of the queen mother and others, and Lu Chengfeng obviously couldn't let the queen mother and others see this joke.

At that time, His Majesty will definitely be furious, although it is said that His Majesty is still a saint, but he attaches great importance to his face, even if Lu Chengfeng, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, is promoted by His Majesty the Emperor, but it is impossible to give Lu Chengfeng face in this matter.

"Father, the son has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Lu Chengfeng still interrupted the emperor's words, after all, Princess Jinyang was just grounded, and there was no substantial harm, but the Shenji monk was different, after all, with the emperor's attitude towards Buddhism, the Shenji monk was likely to be executed, and even if he was not executed, he would be punished very severely.

And when Lu Chengfeng interrupted the emperor's words, many people looked at Lu Chengfeng in surprise, they didn't expect Lu Chengfeng to be so bold and dare to interrupt the emperor's words, maybe he had been in contact with the emperor for a short time and was not familiar with the majesty and aura of this emperor, if he was replaced by other princes and princesses, he would definitely not dare to be like this to Lu Chengfeng.

The emperor looked at Lu Chengfeng with some dissatisfaction, but he still nodded, after all, now Lu Chengfeng and he are in the same camp, and he can't let the eldest princess and the queen mother see the joke, so he also endured the dissatisfaction in his heart: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

However, this is different in the eyes of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, they didn't expect that His Majesty would be so tolerant of Lu Chengfeng. Not to mention Lu Chengfeng, now he can't even be counted as a prince, even if the crown prince interrupts the emperor's words in this situation, I'm afraid he will be severely criticized, but Lu Chengfeng is not only not criticized. And the emperor also asked him to say those words.

Not to mention that the emperor could see what Lu Chengfeng wanted to say, even the Queen Mother and the eldest princess were very clear that Lu Chengfeng naturally chose to speak at this time and the things involved must be related to Princess Jinyang and the Shenji monk. And Lu Chengfeng has also been in Lumen Mountain before, I'm afraid that to a large extent, he still intercedes for the Shenji monk!

After all, they had already inquired about Lu Chengfeng's information, and knew that Lu Chengfeng had a close relationship with the Prajna Zen Master of Lumen Mountain.

"Father, the son thinks that although Princess Jinyang and the Shenji monk eloped, it is a humiliation to the royal family, it is better to let the Shenji monk return to the vulgar and give marriage to the Shenji monk and the Jinyang princess, which not only saves the face of the royal family, but also attracts Lumen Mountain and the Zen master of Pranya, and with this relationship, Lumen Temple is inseparable from the royal family. ”

"Besides, we recovered Xiangyang City before, but in fact, Lumen Temple is not within the jurisdiction of my investigation, and it is better to turn Lumen Temple into your own person, which can also greatly improve the strength of our dynasty cultivators. In this way, our dynasty has the three major Jindan immortals and one-fifth of the cultivators in the world, no matter how you say it, it is all beneficial and harmless, why is my father so angry, he should be happy. ”

These His Majesty is not clear, besides, if the Zen master also saved Lu Chengfeng back then, the relationship between the two parties is not as tense as it was during the period of the first emperor, but his daughter eloped with the monk, which really made him angry, and the most important thing is that he wanted to marry Princess Jinyang and Tianhai City, although this matter was only considered in his heart, but he never gave up this choice.

And now, after Lu Chengfeng said so many words, he began to reconsider, whether to focus on Tianhai City or Lumen Temple, the former belongs to diplomacy, and the latter belongs to internal affairs, which involves the choice of whether to focus on the outside or the inside.

Lumen Temple occupies an important port on the inland river, while Tianhai City occupies the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it is obvious that the geographical location of Tianhai City is far greater than that of Lumen City. Moreover, Tianhai City is one of the most developed areas in the world with the most developed commodity economy, even more than any city in the territory of the Great Liang Dynasty, including Kyoto.

Moreover, Tianhai City occupies the estuary, which has always been a stalk for the Great Liang Dynasty, but fortunately, there has not been much conflict between the Great Liang Dynasty and Tianhai City over the years, so it has not been subject to too many restrictions on the Yangtze River Canal.

It's just that such an important area has not been under his control, which makes the emperor in front of him very unwilling, and he wants to include this area in his territory.

However, Tianhai City has been very free over the years, both politically, economically and militarily, which has led to a large number of talents at home and abroad gathering in Tianhai City, including many great cultivators of the Foundation Building Realm.

Even the headquarters of Beigulou, the world's No. 1 intelligence organization, is set up in Tianhai City.

But there is still a Jindan Immortal in Tianhai City. This is also one of the reasons why His Majesty has not taken Tianhai City for so many years, especially since this Jindan Immortal has been famous for a long time, and has been guarding Tianhai City for more than 30 years, and his strength will definitely surpass that of Emperor Liang today.

Although this emperor can send a large army to suppress the border, and at the same time dispatch the two major Jindan immortals of the Great Liang Dynasty, one of which includes him to go on the expedition himself, but then it will inevitably cause the Northern Jin Kingdom to covet it, and even take the opportunity to sneak attack.

Moreover, once the Great Liang Dynasty and Tianhai City went to war, it would inevitably cause serious damage to the economy in the Great Liang Dynasty, especially Tianhai City could curb the shipping channel of the Yangtze River at any time, resulting in the entire Great Liang Dynasty no longer being able to trade with overseas countries through the Yangtze River waterway.

Not only that, once the war starts, even if the Great Liang Dynasty wins in the end, Tianhai City will inevitably be seriously damaged, and the business for so many years will be ruined, and even lose its original prosperity, and this result is not what this emperor wants to see.

More importantly, although Tianhai City is not the strongest in terms of military strength, the number of cultivators is very large, once the war starts, the cultivators of the Great Liang Dynasty will inevitably suffer great losses, and the Jin Kingdom in the north will definitely take this opportunity to go south.

Although it has been two months since General Lu Shang's northern expedition, once the Great Liang Dynasty is restrained by Tianhai City, the Northern Expeditionary Army must have a part of the defense to deter the Empress Dowager and some restless forces, such as Lumen Temple.

Although Zhuang Yi has already occupied the body of the previous Prajna Zen Master, the abbot in Lumen Temple will not be like the Prajna Zen Master, and as the younger brother of the Prajna Zen Master, the abbot is also very powerful in the ranks of the great cultivators at the peak of the foundation building realm, and he is also relatively ambitious.

Compared with making Lumen Temple a part of the Great Liang Dynasty, he would rather let Lumen Temple become an existence like Tianhai City, but no matter how it is compared, Lumen Temple is always inferior to Tianhai City.

"Chengfeng, are you pleading for the Shenji monk or for the sake of my beam?"

Emperor Liang looked at Lu Chengfeng with very sharp eyes, as if he was about to see through him at a glance, and at this moment, the domineering aura exuded by this emperor made the people around him be shocked, and they seemed to be able to feel that this emperor had a huge force brewing, which could erupt at any time.

However, Lu Chengfeng did not want to be as frightened as the princes, princes, and princesses present, but replied calmly.

"I don't think the two are in conflict, they are both contradictory and unified. On the one hand, it is true that you can intercede for the monk of the divine machine, and on the other hand, it is indeed for the benefit of the Liang Dynasty, after all, if you want to avoid disputes, you can only complete the unification, and if you want to fight outside, you must first settle the internal and solve the internal contradictions in the dynasty, the collapse of a huge dynasty often starts from its inside, which is the problem we should pay attention to the most. ”
