Otherworldly Castle Era

Although Yang Song had a discussion about convening various key personnel at this time, but that time there was no result at all. Originally, the final result would depend on the performance of the Ice and Snow Kingdom's coming envoy, and then the decision would be made.

So now that Benedict Keogh came to Zhongjing and expressed his attitude, it was Yang Song's turn to make a decision on this matter.

"Enlighten your Majesty." Liu Ji took the lead, and he said, "The minister thought that it was right to support the ice kingdom. In addition to distant and close attacks and balancing the Northland, according to your majesty's intentions, if the country wants to dormant development, there is a help. Save a lot of trouble."

Liu Ji said that Xia Guo's next development plan, which Yang Song discussed with many important officials, is to develop the country well, continue to improve people's livelihood, and focus on the development of science and technology, so that Xia Guo can enter the era of steam machines. .

Since the steam engine was manufactured in Xiaguo, it has basically remained the original application mode, still staying in place, and there has not been much innovation at all.

It stands to reason that once the technological revolution begins, the pace of the technological revolution will not stop and continue. However, Xia Guo now has no signs of a technological revolution at all.

The reason is that, apart from Xia Guo's main energy being used to expand the territory and pay attention to people's livelihood, the other is that the time is still too short.

The development of science and technology requires talents, especially those who own higher education, and this takes time to settle. Yang Song also knows the shortcomings of Xia Guo in this regard.

Because of this, Yang Song paid special attention to the development of education from the very beginning. He was laying a solid foundation for Xia Guo's future.

Even if Xia Guo has the top scientist of Shen Kuo, but without the support of other talents, he will not be able to exert his own abilities at all. It is no wonder that Shen Kuo has been looking for Yang Song dignitaries all the time, so that Yang Song should not use all the talents. They are all taken to office.

According to Yang Song's consideration, Xia Guo's current level of science and technology is already usable, but in other areas there is a large talent gap.

Therefore, Yang Song has no way of doing this. There are still a lot of official gaps in the vast territory of Xia State, so that Yang Song has to make choices in many aspects.

Fortunately, after so many decades of hard work to develop education, the number of new talents in Xia Guo is on a straight line every year. It can be foreseen that it will not be many years before Xia Guo will lay a solid and energetic foundation. .

Therefore, Yang Song had negotiated a new ten-year plan with hundreds of civil and military officials after ascending the throne, and determined the next ten years to continue to develop people's livelihood, education, and focus on the development of science and technology in order to welcome the arrival of the technological explosion.

...

Regarding Liu Ji's suggestion, many ministers in the courtroom frowned and some nodded.

"Your Majesty, the minister is opposed to sending troops." After a while, Zhang Juzheng still stood up and objected: "Ice Kingdom is no more than a small country in the north, and it can't help me in the summer. For this, I will fight for it, and I may lose the most. what."

Then the Congren in the court was divided into two factions, either in agreement or in opposition, but Yang Song did not make a clear statement.

Because Yang Song was thinking about the future of Xia Guo at this time, just as he had discovered that many people in Xia Guo had a "belligerent" character before, and Xia Guo couldn't stay closed forever. Sooner or later, he still had to go with him. Communication with the outside world.

Thinking of this, Yang Song finally made a decision. He interrupted the controversy of the ministers and said: "Well, I have made a decision on this matter, and I have decided to initiate support for the Ice and Snow Kingdom."

With Yang Song's voice, the ministers immediately calmed down. Now that they heard his decision, the ministers stopped saying anything, and only waited for Yang Song's order to act.

"Li Jing!" Yang Song called.

"The minister is here!" Li Jing stood up immediately, holding his fists and waiting for his order.

Yang Song ordered: "Ming Junge to draw up a support plan."

"The minister followed the order!" Li Jing took the order and retired.

Yang Song went on to call his name and said: "Changsun Sheng!"

"The minister is here!" Changsun Sheng went out to wait for orders.

"Although the Ice and Snow Kingdom came to be a minister, the price is not enough." Yang Song paused and continued: "I have ordered you to mediate and win more benefits for Daxia."

"The minister abides by the order!" Changsun Sheng handed over and said, "The minister must fight for more benefits for Daxia."

Seeing that today's topic has ended, Yang Song also announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Since Changsun Sheng came out of the Hall of Evidence, his face was full of high spirits. The main person in charge of this matter was him, and he secretly decided to make a big splash in the face of this long-lost mission.

Since Xia Guo annexed all the vassals outside the Guan, he has never communicated with external forces. Changsun Sheng has also focused on the ethics and culture of Xia Guo. But what can this matter do?

Now that Changsun Sheng finally has the opportunity to show his fists, how can he not be excited?

So as soon as Changsun Sheng left the Hall of Political Affairs and returned to the office of the Ministry of Rites to find some information, he went to the Department of Foreign Affairs to find information there for a whole day.

Early the next morning, Changsun Sheng went to Hongxuan Hall with a red face to find the envoy of the Ice Kingdom-Benedict Keogh.

"Your Excellency." After meeting with Benedict Keogh, Changsun Sheng bowed his hand and said straightforwardly: "My official is here today to inform you of my Daxia's decision."

"Your Excellency, what is the result? Is the Great Xia Empire willing to help us?" After hearing Changsun Sheng's words, Benedict Keogh brought a little nervousness and expectations in addition to his urgency.

"Your messenger, don't be anxious." After Changsun Sheng smiled slightly, his eyes looked strange when he looked at Benedict Keogh, like teasing, looking down, and pitiful...

After making Benedict Keogh even more uneasy~www.novelmtl.com~ Changsun Sheng finally said: "In principle, Daxia agreed to rescue your country, but..."

When Benedict Keogh saw Chang Sun Sheng only half-talking, he asked impatiently: "What is consent in principle? But what is it?"

Finally, there was a little hope, and Benedict Keogh didn't want to miss this hope.

"Hey, please don't worry about the messenger." Chang Sun Sheng stretched out his hands and pressed them a few times, and said: "As long as your country meets my Daxia's needs, with my Daxia's strength, rescuing your country is just a small matter. That's it!"

"Demand?" Hearing this, Benedict Keogh hurriedly asked: "What is the need? Isn't our country willing to pay tribute to the Great Xia Empire?"

"Your Excellency is wrong." Changsun Sheng waved his hand and shook his head: "Your country has always been a vassal of my Daxia, so how can you claim to be a tribute? It is better to say that Daxia has seen your country's development difficult. It is a great gift not to ask your country to pay tribute year after year. Now it is difficult for your country. As the suzerain, I should help in principle, but now you are forced to do so. This is a bit too much."

Following Chang Sun Sheng's words, Benedict Keogh's face became more and more ugly. Even though his heart was raging, he could only endure it at this time.

Benedict Keogh was holding back his anger. He knew he was not a hero now, so he could only be softened. He asked, "What does the Great Xia Empire want?"

"That's right." When Chang Sun Sheng heard this, regardless of the dissatisfaction in the other party's tone, he replied: "As the sovereign, Daxia should help the tribesmen, but the price is still to be paid. ."
