Chapter 296

[Solution to the question: Some people say that the protagonist is really aggrieved, why doesn't he rebel. Personally, I don't agree with this idea.

There are many powerful ministers in history, why didn't they rebel? It's simple, they can't compete with 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 extreme example, such as the monopoly of eunuchs.

Going 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 he is basically unable to compete with the influence of the royal family for thousands of years.

Zhang Hao can be domineering and contradict the monarch - it's okay to charge forward and be the rafter of the leader; but if he wants to be the monarch himself, everyone will not agree!

Another example is the presidential election in a certain country, which is controlled by consortiums; but these consortiums themselves will not jump out and directly control the country.

Thank you for your comments, suggestions are welcome, and Tianya will answer them in a unified way. 】

In front of the imperial mausoleum, hundreds of thousands of people shouted "kneel down" in order. What kind of scene is it? It was really like a wave of ocean waves, constantly impacting Zhang Hao's spirit.

Zhang Hao, a bystander, is like this, let alone Zhao Huaiyun, the prince of Jinyang Kingdom who is at the core.

It's just that Zhang Hao was a little dumbfounded when he saw Zhao Huaiyun really knelt down. 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 down, you are not apologizing, but 'humiliated'.

But the next moment Zhang Hao smiled helplessly, and knelt down, and it was useless to say those things. What is more relevant to Zhang Hao now is: Did Zhao Huaiyun kneel down because his mind was taken away, or... did he kneel down on his own initiative?

If the mind is taken away and kneels down, this person is not worth noting. But if he kneels down on his own initiative, then this is a hero. He is the kind of hero who can bend and stretch, kneel down and stand up!

Different premises lead to completely different results. But soon Zhang Hao smiled wryly, looking at Zhao Huaiyun's unshakable figure, looking at the clenched hands, thinking about the situation when Zhao Huaiyun ordered to kill Dingshan Taoist priest without hesitation, Zhang Hao concluded that Zhao Huaiyun, Just a hero.

Thinking about it, Zhao Huaiyun was able to bury a spiritual consciousness of the Nascent Soul stage in the jade box when they met for the first time - at that time, Zhang Hao was only in the middle stage of foundation establishment, so if this spiritual consciousness really got drilled into his mind, the consequences would be Unbelievable.

This guy is not a good stubble! Zhang Hao was vigilant, but he was also thinking, should he find a chance to kill Zhao Huaiyun? If you dare to play tricks on yourself, you definitely can't keep it!

But Zhao Huaiyun is the prince of a country after all, it is not easy to kill him; moreover, within the scope of Qixia country, Zhang Hao has to guarantee the safety of this guy 100%.

It feels so tangled to see an undeveloped but extremely dangerous enemy in front of you but can't do it.

Zhang Hao found out, and so did Liu Xinyu. But seeing Liu Xinyu walking quickly to Zhao Huaiyun, bowing to ask Zhao Huaiyun to get up, it was enough face. "I know His Highness regrets, but there is no need to do so. We have seen His Highness's confession. The friendship between our two countries will surely be restored."

Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Xinyu finally did not lose the chain, and saved the situation at the critical moment. Of course, for Liu Xinyu's words that "the friendship between the two countries will surely return to its original state", just listen to it and don't take it seriously. It was just a good word for the occasion.

The solemn funeral has been busy until late at night before returning. At this time, there are already many things waiting for Liu Xinyu to deal with.

The success of the voyage caused shock in the six western countries. The other five countries sent envoys one after another to cooperate with the Qixia Kingdom on the sea. To be precise, they want to get a large amount of cheap medicine pills from Qixia Kingdom. We have been exploited by the East for too long, and we urgently hope to make a change.

Unknowingly, it was late at night, and Zhang Hao, Liu Xinyu, Zhou Jue, Zhao Duo, Wu Fanghai, Liu Jingming, Xu Jie, etc. were all discussing: Everyone has invested unimaginable enthusiasm for this brand-new country.

What everyone is discussing now is: how to deal with the remaining five western countries.

The affairs of the country are not so simple, and various considerations are very complicated.

The kingdom of Danyang is still in chaos, but the royal family of the kingdom of Danyang has turned to the kingdom of Canglan—this betrays the tone of the six western countries.

The country of Jinyang has just been defeated and signed an unequal treaty; but on the surface, the country of Qixia says that everyone's friendship is as good as ever-so how to operate is also a troublesome matter.

The country of Zhoushan in the north and the country of Qixia in the past are suffering brothers and sisters, and now they are being ruined by the country of Yanyun again. It is very difficult and urgently needs care.

There is also the country of Zhongshan. In the past, the relationship between the country of Zhongshan and the country of Qixia was good. The country of Zhongshan traded the most star gold to the country of Qixia, and the price was relatively fair. Moreover, in addition to the fine gold of the stars, the country of Zhongshan also has rare spiritual materials such as the pure gold of Taibai, which need to be taken care of and won over.

Finally, there is the country of Yanyun. This country is still strong. Although it has just retreated under the joint resistance of Qixia Country, Zhoushan Country, and Zhongshan Country, its war power has not been lost. Coupled with the fact that a large amount of resources were robbed from the country of Zhoushan before, it is now exuding a disturbing atmosphere.

Of course, in the eyes of Yanyun Country, the current Qixia Country really exudes a disturbing atmosphere. But I'm sorry, the current initiative is in the hands of Qixia Country.

Unknowingly, Qixia Country actually has the attitude of the world's policeman; but right now, the world's policeman in Qixia Country has no guns, only batons, which can't scare some bullies! For example, the country of Yanyun refused to accept it.

Everyone discussed until dawn, and Liu Xinyu finally patted the table, "I have decided to win over Zhoushan and Zhongshan, and sell the pills to the two countries at a par price, so that the two countries can control the price of Yanyun's pills. We will not Take the initiative to intervene.

Anyway, the country of Yanyun and the two countries are isolated in the northwest corner, unable to directly contact the East.

As for the Kingdom of Jinyang, considering that the Kingdom of Jinyang has direct communication with the East, we cannot push the Kingdom of Jinyang to the East. Therefore, the price of elixir will be supplied at a par.

And the country of Danyang... Since this country has taken refuge in the country of Canglan in the east, it is a traitor to our west. They should be blocked.

How do you feel? "

Everyone nodded, only Zhang Hao was thoughtful there.

Liu Xinyu turned to look at Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, you haven't talked much all night, what's your suggestion?"

All eyes were on Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao looked at everyone, and finally looked at Liu Xinyu: "Your Majesty, I have an idea, but I am not mature enough. Say it...don't laugh."

Liu Xinyu smiled lightly: "Really...then tell me about it."

Zhang Hao said slowly and carefully: "Your Majesty, we now... should be regarded as the 'pioneers' of the western countries in the Fertile Continent. We have the responsibility, obligation, and ability to lead the western continent of Fertile Continent to a new era. A different future.

The West of the Fertile 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., and the West of the Fertile Continent on a large scale.

If our country wants to rise and become a real big country, it must have an open mind and absorb all assistance.

As the saying goes, tolerance is great!

In my opinion, we should now unite all countries that can be united, and from now on we should aspire to form a competitive relationship with the Eastern Kingdom of Langya.

We want to strive to build the Qixia Country 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 can naturally obtain countless resources and strengthen the country.

And as long as the country grows stronger, it will be much easier for us to do other things.

Also, if all the resources come from us, the industrial and commercial class of our country will grow rapidly. And as long as the industrial and commercial class on our side grows stronger, we can in turn influence the surrounding countries through the industrial and commercial class. Then we will use the industrial and commercial class as a springboard and try to devour the surrounding countries! "

Everyone stopped talking immediately.

Liu Xinyu clasped her hands together, and there was something called ambition shining in her eyes.

Zhang Hao's proposal...was grand and magnificent, and it directly planned the entire West of Fertile Land Continent. When everyone was still arguing about the price of the elixir, Zhang Hao directly promoted to the real level of "seeking forever".

A high-level meeting of a country has been discussing overnight, and they are discussing the price of elixirs. Sorry for the high status of the country.

After hearing Zhang Hao's words, some people frowned, but others were ashamed.

Xu Jie, who hadn't spoken much, finally spoke up: "Your Majesty, I agree with Zhang Hao's proposal. However, Zhang Hao's proposal is only in a general direction, and the specifics still have to return to the price and transaction of this elixir."

Liu Xinyu nodded. Although we still have to return to the price, the meaning of discussing the price this time is completely different from the previous meaning.

With new ideological guidance, we quickly re-formulated a new price system and external strategy.

The prices of pills in western countries... are sold uniformly, regardless of each other. Now is not the time to divide everyone, but to draw everyone together to break through the blockade and profit from it. But the empire will also allow other countries to compete and squabble to ensure the absolute interests of the empire.

In addition, Qixia Country also needs to flex its muscles. Then, the country of Danyang that has taken refuge in the country of Canglan is the best target!

The country of Qixia will unite with the western countries to 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 say anything, the limelight is already enough.

This time it was Liu Jingming who spoke. "I think that we should unite the forces of all countries, on the one hand, help the country of Danyang suppress the rebellion, help them reunify, and in the process, properly spread our new ideas and so on.

On the other hand, we also want to force the royal family of the kingdom of Danyang to tear up the agreement signed with the kingdom of Canglan, and use strong means to bring the kingdom of Danyang back!

I think that as long as this event is successful, we will become a pivotal member of the Western countries and will be qualified to judge 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 her head to look at the new map on the wall—the new map added navigation lines and territorial divisions of western countries on the basis of the earth image.

After a while, Liu Xinyu turned to Prime Minister Zhao Duo and said, "Zhao Duo, go and invite representatives from various countries. We will hold a meeting at noon. I can tell everyone in advance that the Qixia Kingdom will build prosperity together with the Western countries! "

After Zhao Duo left, Liu Xinyu went directly to the court meeting. The court meeting is mainly for discussions on the current situation in the country. The recent developments and changes in Qixia Kingdom have been dizzying. The explosive power of the industrial and commercial class has far exceeded Liu Xinyu's expectations, and even Zhang Hao's expectations.

No matter how many problems this country of Qixia has had in the past, there are thousands of years of accumulation after all. Now once it erupts, its powerful force is pushing the country of Qixia to change in an unknown direction.

Everyone has no idea, whether it is a leap or a fall.

The first thing to discuss is this autumn harvest. The fall harvest was similar to previous years, but the results were different. After the common people kept their own rations, the rest were sold in large quantities. Because of the lack of intermediate exploitation by the nobles, domestic food prices have dropped sharply, which has led to more people flooding into the city.

And now the city...is already transforming into a city. Some of the city walls have been torn down, and roads have been paved with stones from the city walls.

Qixia Country seems to be transitioning to a new urbanized country. But this change made everyone feel uncertain and even unspeakably uneasy. The uneasiness of things changing beyond control.

Also, with the emergence of the contract system, in less than two months, Qixia Country has established a preliminary and complete transportation network.

The power of industry and commerce is fully demonstrated in the process of building a country. With the improvement of the transportation network, toll stations for large and small news have also been established.

The road from Ninghe County to Guangling City has been widened and reinforced. The road is completely rammed earth, comparable to a modern highway. In the past, it took two days for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through the lands of many aristocrats; now it can be reached in one day, without stopping along the way.

Although there are toll booths in the middle, the state strictly stipulates the toll situation, which avoids confusion.

The development of industry and commerce is changing the country at an unprecedented speed. Let the entire country of Qixia move forward at high speed in an unfamiliar direction. That future cannot be seen or controlled by the top management of Qixia Country!

At this time, on the planning map of Qixia Country, a total of six 'highways' have been basically constructed. But the current 'highway' should be called 'Chidao'. But Zhang Hao has already named it an 'expressway' - a super-high-speed, public passage!

The six high-speed roads crisscross as a whole, showing a "Tian" shape, but the "Tian" character protrudes all around. Each node is a large, important city.

For the time being, Guangling City is located at the center of the word "Tian". The newly built imperial capital and Jianwu City are located at the node in the middle of the right side of the character 'Tian'.

The location of Zhangjia and Ninghe County is the node in the middle of the left side of the character 'Tian'.

Looking at the domestic planning map, Liu Xinyu pointed out that the expressway must be extended to other countries. Qixia Country will greet the world in the west of Fertile Land Continent with channels, industry and commerce.

After discussing for a long time, Zhang Hao came up with another proposal: "Your Majesty, now the main roads in the country have been built, the domestic situation is stable, industry and commerce are developing rapidly, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I think Your Majesty needs...to inspect the country!

Tour the country and tell all the people that His Majesty has not forgotten them. Now it is even more important to visit them in person, express condolences to them, and 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 country is integrated, and the nobles can no longer control the country by controlling the grassroots. From now on, this country... no longer needs nobles and aristocratic families!

What we need is an aggressive and brand-new industrial and commercial class! "

Liu Xinyu's eyes are bright again: patrolling the country? ! I didn't even think of this. Touring the country is the best comment on the power of the monarch.

Yes, it's time to... take a look around!

At the same time, I also understand the impact of industry and commerce on this country.
