Chapter 175

In the Palace of Qinzheng, the emperor was busy with official duties, and from time to time raised his head to look outside the palace.Dai Quan, who was waiting on the side, understood the anxiety in the emperor's heart, so he quietly left the hall and went outside the hall to wait.

Seeing Lin Ruhai walking over with Wang Zhanjun from a distance, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Master Lin, Mr. Wang, the emperor is waiting for you."

Lin Ruhai didn't want to offend the celebrities around the emperor, so he cupped his hands to Dai Quan and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Dai."

Wang Zhanjun didn't have a stereotyped bad impression of eunuchs like Dai Quan, and said with a smile: "Thank you for waiting, Eunuch Dai, let's go see the emperor now."

Dai Quan's good impression of Wang Zhanjun stems from Wang Zhanjun's attitude towards him.Others treat eunuchs like them with a flattering mentality.Only Wang Zhanjun treats them with an equal attitude. This kind of equality is not equal in status, but treats them as a complete person.

Dai Quan also knew that the emperor and others were anxious, so he raised a few words and took them to see the emperor.

"Ruhai, Zhan Jun, you are here. This is information about Nanhai, please take a look."

Lin Ruhai's status is high, and he knows the information about the South China Sea. The emperor mainly wants Wang Zhanjun to understand the situation first.

In fact, there is nothing special about the information, except that Qian Xiangguo seems to have a boost behind it, and has obtained a powerful artillery.

Seeing that Wang Zhanjun closed the memorial, the emperor asked, "Zhanjun, I heard from Ruhai that you know more about Western affairs, and what do you think about the information about Qianxiang Kingdom?"

During the period of the Supreme Emperor, the foreign aggression of the imperial court was mainly in the north. Jia Daishan inherited Rong Guogong because of the merits of the north.In order to fully deal with the threat from the north, the imperial court has very strict control over the South China Sea, almost similar to the forbidden sea.

After the threat from the north is resolved, the coast has been controlled by the nobles headed by the king of Nan'an County.For their own benefit, these nobles and aristocratic families raised their own self-esteem, and the Supreme Emperor was getting older, so he listened to their slander and chose the Forbidden Sea.

After the ban on the sea, all overseas transactions were controlled by Xungui and the aristocratic family. This situation is naturally not conducive to Western business transactions, and this is how conflicts arise.

Now I am afraid that the Westerners are secretly colluding with Qianxiang Country, and the First World War in the South China Sea will be inevitable.

"Your Majesty, we need to prepare with all our strength to deal with the threat from Qianxiang Kingdom."

"Do you understand the artillery that the intelligence said?"

Of course I understand, but Wang Zhanjun doesn't plan to participate too much.

"Your Majesty, I also know a little bit about artillery. Based on the red-clothed cannons of the previous dynasty and the records of Westerners about artillery, I have summed up a new set of artillery manufacturing technology. If it can be successful, it will be more powerful than Westerners' current artillery." There are many. However, these are all my conjectures, and have not been fabricated."

Even so, the emperor was overjoyed. The information about the South China Sea's intelligence on the power of the artillery was a bit exaggerated. Combined with the chaos of the South China Sea's power, the emperor was really not sure.

"It's okay, I appointed you as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, responsible for supervising the construction of artillery."

This is a troublesome matter, and Wang Zhanjun is not willing to participate in it: "Your Majesty, I am willing to hand over the manufacturing technology of those cannons, and I also ask the Emperor to choose someone else to supervise the manufacturing."

The emperor naturally didn't want Wang Zhanjun to touch the military power. He had already gained a lot of reputation because of the potato and sweet potato issue. If he came into contact with the military power, it would be a big threat to the imperial power.

"Alright, I will send someone to find you to get those things. If you have any questions, don't refuse."

After that, the emperor asked some things about Xiyang.Wang Zhanjun combined the Western news from this era, plus some of his own speculation and analysis, and told the emperor about the Western situation.Among them, some private work is indispensable, and the practice of Western colonization is spoken out.

The emperor thought about it, but didn't say anything.

Wang Zhanjun was not rigid when he narrated the process, and he described the process vividly and interestingly. The emperor was happy, so he left Lin Ruhai and Wang Zhanjun to have dinner together, and then let them go back.

"Zhan Jun, you have acted a little aggressively this time." Lin Ruhai said worriedly on the carriage back.

The current Wu Dynasty is far ahead of other countries in this time and space. As long as they seize the opportunity, they can firmly suppress those Westerners who are about to move.As a person with modern memories, how could Wang Zhanjun see this land reduced to a colony.

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, I know how to measure."

Lin Ruhai couldn't say anything.Instead, he asked, "Zhan Jun, is what you said true?"

"Uncle Lin, do you think the robbers will let go of the biggest piece of fat in their mouths? What's more, we are clearly capable, so why should we give them the benefits."

Lin Ruhai is not a pedantic scholar-bureaucrat either, he just said: "If the emperor listens to you, the people will fall into misery again."

Wang Zhanjun does not think so, colonization is a historical trend, and no one can stop it.The Western world is almost colonizing the doorstep, is the imperial court passively defending?This is not a threat from the north, the imperial court has the upper hand.The biggest threat to the West is gold and silver, which are huge weapons against court officials.

"Uncle Lin, these costs are necessary for the future of the nation, not to mention that if it is done well, our own people will not suffer much loss."

Things were just as Wang Zhanjun expected, the emperor often chatted with him afterwards, and began to pay attention to Western affairs.Later, after solving the internal troubles, the emperor really took action against the outside world.Of course, this is all for later.

"Sister, you don't look happy, what's the matter?"

Lin Daiyu said with red eyes: "Do you think men in the world are all heartless?"

How do you say it? Sister Lin's map is a bit big.

"Sister, what happened?"

Lin Daiyu didn't speak, Xueyan who was following couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Just now Second Mistress Lian sent someone over, saying that Mrs. Smith's husband refused the marriage and secretly went to join the army."

I remember that in the original book, Shi Xiangyun married Wei Ruolan, and the two lived a sweet life.This is probably one of the changes he brought about.

"Maybe Mr. Wei has other reasons, my sister shouldn't mind these things."

Wang Zhanjun's nonchalant attitude annoyed Lin Daiyu, and she said angrily, "If Wei Ruolan is like this, how can Sister Shi survive? Do you also have such thoughts?"

How dare Wang Zhanjun admit it? Although sister Lin seldom cries, once she cries, it is even more difficult to coax.He doesn't have Jia Baoyu's talent for coaxing girls.

"Sister, this incident is actually not surprising. Miss Smith is about to get married, and she is still living in the Grand View Garden with Jia Baoyu. The servants of the Jia family have no guards at all, and can say anything. Maybe Wei Ruolan refused this marriage after hearing such gossip."

Wang Zhanjun didn't know that his wild guess was actually right.That day, Wei Ruolan knew from Xue Pan that Shi Xiangyun lived in the Grand View Garden, and when she went back, she sent someone to the servants of Jia's mansion to talk to him.

The housekeeper's Mrs. Wang and Xue Baochai were both dissatisfied with Shi Xiangyun, so one can imagine how the servants of Jia's mansion would arrange Shi Xiangyun.

After hearing such words, Wei Ruolan would not be willing to have this marriage.It's just that he was concerned about the friendship between the two families, so he didn't make matters worse and chose to go to the South China Sea to join the army.However, this trip is likely to never come back.
