Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 803 His Majesty the Emperor’s Maritime Trade

One moment in the morning.

Zhao Kang got up from the bed. Xiao Linglong, who was awakened, sat up and hooked his shoulders, rubbing Zhao Kang's cheek affectionately.

The latter turned around, smiled softly and pinched the bridge of his straight nose.

"The little lazy cat is awake now?"

"What are you doing in the imperial capital?" Xiao Linglong asked.

Zhao Kang said casually: "I'm going to check how the armaments are in various places. Although the world is peaceful now, we can't relax."

If Gongsun Yunxiu's prediction is correct and something will really happen in the future, then he will use the power of thunder to let his enemies know what regret is!

"That's it, then you should go early and come back early."

"Of course."

Zhao Kang smiled and put the woman down to kiss those red lips that he couldn't get enough of. It wasn't until both of them were lost in love that they were reluctant to separate.

Without any fanfare, Zhao Kang put on his official seal and rode a fast horse to the imperial capital, which was naturally much faster than riding a carriage.

After arriving in the imperial capital, we went directly to the palace.

The six ministers who had just gone to court were summoned to the palace again before their buttocks were even hot when they returned home.

When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room and saw Zhao Kang, everyone was filled with hatred, but they dared not speak out in anger.

The UC daily newspaper caused by this stupid thing has caused great harm to us!

"Sit all sit down."

Seeing the six ministers gathered together, Xiao Xuance, dressed in a dragon robe, asked everyone to sit down and talk.

Li Yuan gathered his thoughts and looked at Zhao Kang: "King Zhao, do you have something important to do when you rush back to the capital suddenly?"

Zhao Kang glanced at everyone: "Not bad."

Everyone immediately became serious. In the past half year, the country and the people have been peaceful, and everyone here has been living a happy life.

At this moment, I heard Zhao Kang say that there was something important to discuss, and I felt a little curious.

Zhao Kang told Gongsun Yunxiu's speculation, and Zhang Mingyuan and other old guys who believed deeply in astrology and numerology were all shocked.

Xiao Xuance was very disdainful: "What turtles, snakes, and even green dragons and white tigers have appeared? How dare you come and treat them to eat cannonballs! Is this worthy of your visit in person?"

"Your Majesty, you can't say this nonsense. God has warned you, so we should respond as soon as possible!" Weiguan, the Minister of Punishment, said hurriedly.

Fang Lin from the Ministry of Rites also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, when I founded the country, it was said that I was ordered by the gods to conquer the five states!"

"It's better to believe this kind of thing than to believe it is not true. Besides, according to what King Zhao said, Gongsun Yunxiu is extremely knowledgeable."

Wang Yuanqing said: "You can still believe what she said."

Xiao Xuance frowned: "I think it's a bit alarmist. During this period, we sent people from the Geography Department to survey the landforms. The east side is full of barren mountains, old forests and rugged mountain roads."

"No one can pass through, let alone a large army."

During this period of time, the Qianguo court was not idle. While developing people's livelihood and military strength, it also continued to send people to explore outside.

After all, there are still a group of foreigners coming from across the ocean in Yangzhou City. Xiao Feiyu also met Lu Xueying before.

All this shows that there are people from other countries in the world.Especially regarding the exploration in the east, Xiao Xuance was very concerned about it.

But the news brought back by the Geography Department clearly stated that it was absolutely impossible for anyone to cross the [-]-yuan mountain.

Even their own people from the Geography Department were involved.

Unless God bless him, he will die in it.

If, according to Gongsun Yunxiu's speculation, someone from the east really invaded, then Yongzhou, one of the nine states of the Qian Kingdom, would be the first to bear the brunt.

And let alone hundreds of thousands of troops, even tens of thousands or even thousands of troops, it is absolutely impossible to cross the barren mountains over there without attracting attention!

If we really fight, the only one who will win will be Qian Guo!After all, fighting is not just playing house, food, supplies, military morale and other factors are all factors that determine the outcome of a war.

Of course, Zhao Kang could take this into consideration, so he didn't care at first, but when he thought about it, it was Gongsun Yunxiu's evil bitch who said this.

It's better to be more vigilant.

"There's no point in guessing as a blind person. It doesn't matter whether the blue dragon and white tiger will come over or not!"

Zhao Kang snorted: "We must be prepared for them to come! Li Yuan, how is our artillery reserve?"

Hearing Zhao Kang mention this, a look of excitement suddenly appeared on Li Yuan's face: "Back to your lord, since the world was pacified, casting artillery has been the most important thing for our Qian Kingdom and Jing Kingdom. With the combined efforts of the two countries, there are now as many as Thirty-seven hundred doors!”

"There are countless artillery shells. In addition, the Firearms Institute sent a brand new drawing some time ago, which is the casting process of an individual cannon. After the courtiers made a decision, we decided to start casting this kind of individual cannon that is light in weight and easy to carry and use. "

Zhao Kang remembered the weapon Li Goudan used to blast Lin Erniu on the day of the football final, and nodded slightly: "Not bad, not bad. This thing is similar to an RPG. If it explodes with solid bombs, the power cannot be underestimated. What about the strength of the troops? ?”

Li Yuan grinned: "There are even more troops."

Xiao Xuance took over and said: "Old Zhao, all the silver from Zhou's treasury was used by me to expand armaments, otherwise I would owe you a mere one to two million."

"You are really cruel." Zhao Kang was shocked.

The extremely rich Zhou State's treasury alone had a total of 6000 million in cash!
"Look at you, you have never seen the world!"

His Majesty the Emperor rolled his eyes: "Now that the country is strong, how can we still have no money? By the way, I have carefully considered the overseas trade you mentioned last time. Since there are so many foreigners at sea, let's develop a navy and go to sea!"

"Install artillery on the warship. If we encounter an old foreigner, we will kill him! Take back all their gold and silver treasures!"

Zhao Kang looked at Xiao Xuance with shock on his face: "Are you kidding?"

"How could I joke about such a national event?"

Xiao Xuance's face was serious: "This is very necessary. When I went to Yangzhou before, I went to the Firearms Institute. That one is a Nobel Prize. The Ni Ma is what you call a terrorist. The one who plays with gunpowder is called a slip!"

"If all those foreigners are like him, maybe they will have cannons in a few years, and maybe they will come back to fight us!"

"Why don't we strike first and eliminate them first to avoid future troubles!"

Looking at the far-sighted Emperor, Zhao Kang subconsciously asked: "What about that person? He destroyed their country and robbed their gold and silver treasures. What will happen to that person?"

"Stupid?"

Xiao Xuance chuckled and said: "I brought beautiful women back to be my maids, and I also brought men back to help us build factories and clean toilets. They can also farm the land! There are plenty of jobs for them to do!"

"Warships are already being built. It won't be long before we can start maritime trade!"
