Molested Zulong at the beginning

Chapter 390 IX The Young Master Is Really a God-Man

Shaofu.

Under the leadership of Mohist disciples, Bai Su came all the way to Moqijian.

The steam engine here has been continuously adjusted by Mohist disciples and has begun to take shape.

This Mo Xun is worthy of being the youngest Mohist tycoon in the contemporary era, and Bai Su was amazed by his talent.

He only gave a few ideas, and Mo Xun has already successfully created it.

Mo Xun's cheeks were pale. It was obvious that he often stayed in the mansion, never went out and was rarely exposed to the sun, and he looked a little sick.

However, compared to her physical fatigue, her pretty face was full of excitement at this moment: "My lord, I have already made the steam loom you mentioned."

She asked the Mohist disciples on the side to lift off the black cloth that covered it, revealing a big guy that was nearly two people tall.

This thing made of fine iron looks very bulky, with various winches and gears on it. This complicated structure surprised all the officials watching at the door.

Standing in front of the crowd, Liu Ji blinked her big peach eyes, and asked curiously, "My lord, can this thing be weaved by myself without manual work?"

Bai Su said with a smile on his face: "Whether this will work or not, you will know if you try it, Juzi, let the disciples of the Mohist family demonstrate it to them."

"Yes."

Mo Xun nodded lightly, and let the Mohist disciples beside him start to operate the steam loom.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, with the "rumbling" roar of the steam engine, the textile machine began to run automatically.

The capstan rotates continuously, a silk thread is pulled down, and the weaving begins continuously. In just the effort of a cup of tea, a piece of silk has been slowly formed.

, Mo Xun stepped forward to check the silk, nodded slightly and said, "My lord, the silk has been spun."

"hiss!!!"

The people around suddenly gasped and rubbed their eyes subconsciously, wondering if they were hallucinating.

But when Liu Ji and others touched the silk with their own hands, and it was indeed no different from the ones sold outside, they realized that what they saw was real.

God, how on earth did this work.

Without the hands of weavers, this thing can weave a piece of silk by itself, and the efficiency is even several times faster.

This is simply the method of the fairy family.

Seeing this, Bai Su nodded, and couldn't help praising: "As expected of a giant, I actually made it in such a short period of time."

Mo Xun shook his head slightly: "My lord has given me the most critical blueprint, and I am just improving on this basis. Naturally, this difficulty is nothing."

Listening to her lines full of Versailles, Bai Su couldn't help laughing and said, "If it weren't for the giant's attainments in mechanics, he could be called the best in the world, no matter how much I give advice, it would be useless."

Liu Ji on the side also nodded, and said: "Yes, looking at the world, only giants can create such a complex structure."

"I just took a look. The weaving efficiency of this loom is more than seven or eight times faster than that of ordinary workers. It's just like the magic of the fairy family."

The crowd onlookers also nodded.

After all, this kind of thing that is tireless and can weave continuously without rest is really too delicate and miraculous.

Mo Xun listened to everyone's generous praise, but his face was not at all happy, and even his slender eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Seeing her worried look, Bai Su couldn't help asking: "Juzi, what's wrong with you?"

Mo Xun bit his red lips lightly, hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm just for a while, I don't know whether this thing is good or bad."

Bai Su asked curiously, "Why did you say that?"

Mo Xun explained: "This steam loom is really easy to use, and its efficiency is much faster, but I am worried that once this product is released, countless weaving workers will lose their livelihood skills and become homeless. "

After hearing her worry, Liu Ji and others on the side also frowned beautifully.

I have to say, this is indeed a troublesome thing.

You know, since Daxia made trade a national policy, Shu brocade in Bashu, silk in the old Qi, and silk cloth in Chu.

There are nearly 10 people engaged in sericulture and weaving in the world.

The speed and efficiency of the steam loom invented by Juzi far exceeds that of manpower. Once it is replaced, what will happen to those who have lost their vitality?

The world has finally settled down, and once there is large-scale chaos, it is a very tricky thing.

Bai Su said with a smile: "Your worries are unnecessary. Not only will the world not be disrupted, but it will become more prosperous."

Both Mo Xun and Liu Ji couldn't help being cold, and couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Bai Su smiled mysteriously, and said, "The birth of a brand new thing will replace some traditional industries and create more opportunities."

"For example, if we want to manufacture steam engines, more coal and iron ore are needed for smelting. The coal in the Guanzhong area has become insufficient, so we can only go to the Sanjin area to mine more coal."

"The people in the Three Jins rely on ore mining, transportation, and smelting, and tens of thousands of people will have the opportunity to make a fortune."

"And by manufacturing weaving machines, we recruit many employees with many years of weaving experience and enter a huge workshop to uniformly produce cloth and silk."

"When the production is finished, the folks will use various channels during the period, and the merchants and common people who have made a lot of money can go to buy the cheap cloth and farm tools we produce."

"Those who don't want to engage in these industries can also grow tea trees, sugar cane, and burn paper porcelain, traveling between the north and the south."

"In this way, not only will there be no homeless people in the world, but it will become more prosperous, and everyone will have clothes to wear and meat to eat."

"And the output of imperial cloth, coal, and ironware will increase every year, and the national power will become stronger and stronger. The ability to control the border will gradually become stronger. This is the real strategy for strengthening the country and enriching the people."

After hearing Bai Su's words, Mo Xun couldn't help opening his mouth wide.

She was just thinking about the imperial court and the people competing for profit, and what would those weaving workers do if they lost their livelihoods, but she didn't expect that this small steam engine would have such a chain reaction.

It's like throwing a stone into a calm pond, splashing ripples, making the originally silent folk suddenly glow with infinite vitality.

It not only helped the imperial court collect more taxes, fulfilled the goal of enriching the national treasury and strengthening the country, but also did not keep squeezing the power of the people like Shang Yang in the past, but made the people more prosperous.

This kind of long-term vision of taking into account both the government and the public, and the people's livelihood, simply made her amazed.

Mo Xun couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty's talent for governing the country can be said to be unprecedented, and there will be no one in the future. The talents in the world are shared at once. Your Excellency alone occupies eight parts, His Majesty the First Emperor occupies one part, and all people in the world share one part."

Even Liu Ji who was at the side couldn't help but nodded, thinking to himself, the young master is really a god.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After Bai Su's decision.

The production of this steam loom is orderly, led by the government, and sent to various workshops one after another.

These things are not very difficult to operate, and these workers quickly learned how to use them.

Half a month later, one morning.

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

Hundreds of civil and military officials stood side by side, and Hu Yan walked slowly under the leadership of the envoy.

Hu Yan was wearing a black plain skirt with gold silk on the wide sleeves, embroidered with exquisite black bird patterns, with his arms outstretched, he sat down slowly on the dragon chair, looking like a political lady style.

There was a smile on her face, and there was a little rosy color on her fair and pretty face. It was obvious that she was in a good mood recently.

After going through some etiquette.

Hu Tan glanced at Fusu, who was wearing a white skirt and standing dignifiedly in front of all the officials, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

After all, two days ago, Fusu said she was feeling unwell, so she hadn't come to court, but she suddenly came here today.

Could it be that something big happened?

Just when she was doubtful, an official suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I have something urgent to report."

This person is none other than Lang Zhongling Zhang Han.

All the officials around were stunned for a moment, there was an urgent report, could it be that something happened at the border of the Western Regions?

Hu Yan looked at everyone's reactions calmly, and then asked, "Oh, tell me, Aiqing, what happened."

Zhang Han looked serious, she took a deep breath, clasped her fists and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, I, Daxia, sent a division to the Maurya Dynasty. I originally wanted the two countries to be friendly and open up trade, but I didn't expect that the Maurya Dynasty would kill me." I sent a mission to guard, robbed me of money, and even humiliated our messenger..."

"What!!!" Many people exclaimed suddenly.

Before Zhang Han finished speaking, the hall was suddenly full of noise.

"It's really unreasonable for someone to dare to kill someone from my Great Xia Mission."

"However, a group of small foreign countries dare to be so rampant."

"This bunch of barbarians are really too presumptuous!"

Many officials looked filled with righteous indignation. After all, this Great Xia claimed to be the country of the upper state and the ruler of the world.

On weekdays, eating melons on other people's land without giving money, and bullying others has become a habit of running amok. Whoever sees the envoy of Daxia in the surrounding small countries will serve him respectfully and treat him like a master.

But now they usually don't pay attention to it at all. A small remote country dares to bully the Central Plains. How can this be tolerated.

Hu Yan looked calm, but there was a burst of surprise in his heart.

Because, the development of the current situation is exactly the same as what Bai Su said, and it has found a suitable excuse for Daxia Xizheng.

If it were a political sister who was in charge of the government, she would simply wave her hand and mobilize troops to start a fight, and all civil and military officials would cooperate one after another.

But her prestige is far inferior to that of the political sister, and she still needs to resign, to add fuel to the flames, so that those doves in the court who are unwilling to go to war easily will shut up.

Thinking of this, Hu Yan couldn't help hesitating and said: "Why did the Maurya Dynasty suddenly kill my envoy? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Zhang Han clasped his fists and said: "The Maurya Dynasty plundered our mission's property and killed our mission's guards. As an envoy, Mao Dun fled back with seven or eight guards. If your highness doesn't believe it, you can call her in and ask her personally. .”

Hu Yan heard the words, nodded and said lightly: "Okay, quickly summon Maodun to enter the hall."

Soon after.

A slim figure walked in from outside the hall.

It was Modu.

However, there was a white cloth wrapped around her forehead at this time, and the Hu skirt on her body looked very messy, and she looked in a mess.

Seeing this, Hu Yan couldn't help being surprised and said, "Shanyu, you... what's wrong with you?"

Mao Dun gritted his teeth, pretending to be ashamed: "Your Highness, this Peacock Dynasty has insulted me too much. I have always admired Daxia's culture. When I saw that Daxia wanted to send a division to the Maurya Dynasty When it was time, I took the initiative to invite Ying to go to make friends with the Maurya Dynasty."

"But I never thought that when we passed by a city-state, we were directly slandered as spies by the other party, and they forcibly sent troops to arrest us."

"We have been trying to explain that we are the mission of Daxia, but the other party didn't pay attention to it at all, and tried to silence us so as to rob the mission's property. If I didn't rush out with all my might, I'm afraid it would have been murderous. Dorje is missing."

"Let's hope, Your Highness decides for us."

Following her words, the entire hall fell silent.

After all, Mao Dun's mission to the Peacock Dynasty represented Daxia's face, and now he openly slapped the mission's buttocks, which was no different from slapping Daxia's face.

Whether it is sending a large army to attack the Maurya Dynasty, revenge, or making decisions for Mao Dun, so that the younger brothers around can see the consequences of offending the Central Plains.

The war between the two countries is probably unavoidable.

The officials below looked at each other, and someone said: "Your Highness, I think we should send a large army to destroy them, and let them know that I, Da Xia, cannot be provoked."

"That's right, innocent killing of my mission's guards is undoubtedly a declaration of war. If we turn a blind eye, it will make neighboring countries think of us. This war must be fought."

There was an uproar in the hall immediately.

The slender brows of Prime Minister Li Si and the others frowned slightly. She clearly felt that something was wrong with this development, and it was too coincidental.

However, seeing that the DPRK-China declaration of war had gradually become a general trend, she hesitated for a moment when she reached the point of speaking, but remained silent and did not stand up to object.

After all, the hawks and doves in the court have all expressed their support for the declaration of war. Even if she stands up to oppose it, it may not have any effect. It is better to remain silent than to offend people in vain.

Hu Yan saw that the general situation in the court had been achieved, a smile appeared in his strange eyes, and he immediately regained his composure and said, "Fusu, what do you think about this?"

Everyone turned their attention to Fu Su.

At present, the only person in the court who can oppose Hu Yan is the eldest princess.

Fu Su was silent for a while, and said: "I don't know why the Maurya Dynasty did this, but since they dare to offend me, Daxia, I will punish them."

His Highness Fusu, who has always been dignified and elegant, although he looks intellectual and bookish, speaks with a cold murderous intent.

People have to sigh in their hearts, he is indeed the successor that His Majesty has valued for many years.

After Hu Yan gained the support of his sister and the support of all civil and military officials, a smile could not help but appear on his fair and pretty face: "That's right, how can my Great Xia's Tianwei be offended by these small nations? Yes, since you dare to kill my mission, you must be prepared to be wiped out by my Great Xia."

She didn't have the slightest worry about the expedition to the Maurya Dynasty.
