Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 3 Chapter 80: Foreign policy

   "Enlighten you! The minister has something to report about the "Golden Egg Project"!" A few days later, Liu Ji and Zhang Juzheng came together.

   "What's the matter? Did something go wrong?" Yang Song put down the brush in his hand and asked seriously.

   Zhang Juzheng stood up and bowed to salute, with an ugly face replied: "My lord, I am ashamed of my trust, and there is a fatal loophole in the'Golden Egg Project'!"

   Yang Song did not speak, but just stared at Zhang Juzheng and waited for his explanation. At first, the other party vowed to pat his chest to guarantee that this plan would bring miraculous effects to Xia Guo.

   "Your Majesty, the'Golden Egg Project' needs a trading window, otherwise so many gold coins can't flow outside the customs for no reason." Zhang Juzheng explained.

   Liu Ji added: "The chaos outside the customs is not an opportunity to open up a business route, and now the country and the outside world are in a hostile state, and soon, outside the customs..."

   It seems that it has become Liu Ji's characteristic to express the meaning without saying it. Fortunately, instead of saying half and half hiding, but making the meaning clear, otherwise Yang Song can't stand the tone.

   Yes, three thousand tons of gold coins can't be carried by one or two people. It takes 1,500 sorties to pull them with a carriage. If only some intelligence personnel are used, it is estimated that it will take tens of thousands of people and one person to transport it out.

  The casting of gold coins is very simple. First, the gold is smelted into pieces of gold plates, the thickness of which is the same as gold coins, and then these gold plates are placed under a hydraulic press for punching, and ten gold coins can be made with one pressing.

   These gold coins piled up quickly under the punching. Until now, the three thousand tons of gold have not been consumed, and I don’t know how long it will take to complete them all.

   And I'm not afraid that I can't use it. Gold coins that really can't be used can be turned into gold ingots once they are heated.

Liu Ji looked at Yang Song who was silent, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how the Majesty treats these aliens, do they rule or clean up? And what is the state of Xia Guo and these forces, they are always hostile. Or peaceful coexistence?"

   In fact, the essence of Liu Ji asking these two questions is to ask, what is the ultimate goal of Xia Guo?

   Yang Song never thought deeply about this issue. In the past, what he thought was how to lead the tribe to survive, and after gaining a foothold, what he thought was to develop and grow the country.

   Now Xia Guo’s heels are completely stable, and the development and growth are steadily continuing. He will only have to pass his brain during his free time, and he has not delved into it at all.

   At this time, Liu Ji's question really stumped him. Yang Song thought for a long time and didn't think about it. Moreover, this was the criterion for determining Xia Guo's future behavior. He didn't dare to decide it all with his head.

   "Berwen, I don't know what your plan is?" Yang Song asked Liu Ji for advice. If he doesn't know, then ask anyone who knows.

   Liu Ji sternly said: "Your lord, the minister has two strategies for the lord to choose."

"If you close the country and strictly observe the main roads of the pass, at the current development speed of the Xia Kingdom, it will become extremely powerful within dozens of hundreds of years. When you go out and fight for world hegemony, you will surely be able to smooth the world by ploughing the court and sweeping the hole. ."

"The second is to open windows to the outside world, to communicate with people of foreign races, so that the excellent civilization of the country can spread to the world, and to educate foreign races. Although there are racial barriers, in the long run, although foreigners have different intentions, they also have the intention of longing for return. "

   This is only after Xia Guo has enough capital to stand up, he will have this foresight, and will have these two options.

   After all, it's because Xia Guo is not strong enough now, otherwise there won't be such a problem. There is no choice if you are really strong.

   Yang Song thought for a while, but it was not easy to make up his mind, and said: "This question will be raised at the next meeting. Let the ministers discuss and decide."

   "Yes, Lord." Liu Ji saw Yang Song's hesitation and knew his embarrassment, so he took his orders. The monarch Yang Song deserves to be under tremendous pressure.

   The North Korean meeting four days later was held as scheduled. At the meeting, Liu Ji suggested: "In the future, Xia has two choices, one is to close the country and the other is to open up to the outside world. Please make a decision."

   "I don't know what you think about these two options, if you have other options, you can be blunt." As expected, Yang Song threw the question out and let the ministers discuss it.

   Xun Yu first replied: "The minister suggested choosing to close the country. Because the existing land has not been developed yet, there will be no more incidents."

  Chang Sun Sheng added: "The minister seconded. At this stage, the population should be increased and the national power should be strengthened, waiting for changes."

   "The minister suggested opening up commercial roads and opening up border towns, and not all of the country should be opened up, so as to prevent our country's fictitiousness and reality from showing up." Chen Ping suggested.

   "The minister agreed with Director Chen's statement that the opening of trade routes can be used to collect information, and it can also make our country civilized and enlighten Beiyi." Zhu Xi replied.

   "The minister also agreed to open up business to the outside world. In this way, the'Golden Egg Project' may be implemented." Zhang Juzheng also agreed to open up to the outside world at this time.

   "The minister opposed the opening of trade routes. The opening of trade routes would make the barbarians of Beiyi become greedy for the richness of our country. Didn't the Lord forget about the original Bill City?" Chang Sun Sheng has been brooding about it all the time.

  ……

   Generally speaking, the ministers in the Council of Political Affairs are divided into two factions, either agreeing or opposing, and each has sufficient reasons, which makes Yang Songben's embarrassing thoughts even more confused.

   When the ministers were still citing scriptures and citing history as evidence, Liu Base Station got up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, everyone, listen to the next words."

   All the officials stopped arguing and all looked at Liu Ji, waiting for him to speak. Liu Ji is a military adviser to the monarch, and they still have to be respected.

   Seeing that the hall of Yeezheng became quiet, Liu Ji continued: "The minister suggested building a city outside Shanhaiguan as Xia Guo's external window."

   "Liu Junshi's plan is very clever." Xun Yu's eyes lit up, and he loudly agreed: "This way, the border can be closed, and the country can be shown goodwill to the outside world."

   "This plan is very clever, worthy of being a military adviser."

   "This is killing two birds with one stone."

   "Liu Junshi's resourcefulness is not as good as the next."

   "The old man's plan can also be implemented!"...

   Many ministers have talked about it~www.novelmtl.com~, all of them are in agreement.

   After seeing this, Yang Song's expression was also lifted, and he asked, "Does anyone have any comments? If not, then do as the military commander said!"

   "Yes, Lord Shengming!" All the officials agreed in unison.

"Your Majesty, where should this city be built? The land outside the customs can be described as a mess, the refugees are like water, and the bandits are like stars." Although Xun Yu is the head of the administrative office, he also has some ideas about the situation outside Shanhaiguan. Heard.

   Yang Song also lightly nodded his head when he heard this, and he agreed with Xun Yu's question, so he looked at Liu Ji.

   Before Liu Ji could reply, Chen Ping stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, Director Xun, the minister knows that there is a place suitable for establishing a market."

   "Where?" Yang Song asked.

  Chen Ping replied: "There is a valley ten kilometers away from Shanhaiguan, and the business road passes through this valley. As long as a simple wall is built at Gukou, the valley can be used as a workshop city."

   Yang Song heard the words and opened the small map to check it. After finding the place Chen Ping said, he saw that, as Chen Ping said, there was a valley mouth only more than 300 meters wide between the two mountains.

   is an open area in the future. Although it is not big, it is more than enough for the workshop city.
