Chapter 572: That Lizi Is Helping Me

When Fang Xing and Zhu Gaochi were discussing the power of artillery in the East Palace, an eunuch came outside.

"Your Highness, the matter of artillery has been discussed just now, and one hundred cannons will be cast in advance."

Zhu Gaochi smiled, and the other party woke up and said: "In this case, then Dehua can do more work to finish the casting of the cannon."

Fang Xing returned home and discussed this matter with Huang Zhong in the study.

"Uncle, if this cannon flourishes in the army, then the status of Jubao Mountain Guard..."

If the strength of other armies increases greatly, then the status of Jubaoshanwei will indeed decrease.

Fang Xing said indifferently: "Jubaoshanwei is originally the Taisun's relative army. He has gone to war many times and won many times. If this continues, everyone will be jealous. What's the use of having a high status?"

Huang Zhong felt relieved after thinking about it: "Yes! Jubaoshanwei used to go out on expeditions as a partial division, but this time, it's a bit too powerful to wipe out the Jiaozhi nobles."

Jubaoshanwei is so powerful, corresponding others will feel that Zhu Zhanji is a bit overwhelming.

And Fang Xing throwing out the bone of the cannon at this time can immediately calm down the mood of the military and cool down the envious achievements of the Jubao Mountain Guard.

"Kejubao Shanwei didn't win simply by relying on muskets."

Fang Xing said playfully: "Discipline, rigorous and orderly drills, and the use of tactics, these are not things that can be learned easily."

"As for seeking sea transportation, it is actually not appropriate at present."

Fang Xing said with some displeasure: "Zheng He has already returned. It is said that the cost of repairing and replacing ships alone made Xia Yuanji want to hang himself. If I propose to resume shipping at this time, it would be disregarding people's livelihood and the overall situation. A wise man would not do it." Some people even hope that I will take the initiative to bring it up, and then it will be a reason to attack."

Huang Zhong nodded and said: "That's right. Your Majesty will definitely not be happy when the time comes. After all, it will involve Zheng He's going to sea."

"Uncle, why did you push the cannon out at this time?"

Huang Zhong was a little puzzled.

Fang Xing smiled: "Jubaoshanwei has been jealous for a long time, I fired the artillery at this time, but I want to separate the civil and military, and when the copper mines in Jiaozhi are mined in large quantities, I don't need to speak at that time, first of all Xia Yuanji will be the first to jump out and ask for sea transportation, followed by the warriors, they want a lot of artillery, so let's help Xia Yuanji reduce the cost of copper materials first."

Think about it, if you simply use horse-drawn carts or ox carts to pull the copper materials from Jiaozhi to the Central Plains, the consumption of people and animals along the way will definitely move people to tears.

"Besides...Wu Xun seems to have gotten closer to the civil servants recently. This is not good, very bad!"

"Take your time, don't try to accomplish everything overnight, what we need is patience, because... I am young!"

Huang Zhong praised: "Uncle, your layout is like an antelope's horns. There is no trace to be found. You have to wait until the time comes to find out. Those people in the court probably don't know what you mean."

"Who knows!" Fang Xing smiled slightly, his eyes full of peace.

Hu Guang, have you guessed it?

"The old man doesn't know what he wants to do, but he only knows that shipping will never happen again!"

In the duty room, Hu Guang and Yang Shiqi were drinking tea and discussing matters.

Yang Shiqi felt a little upset, he put down his teacup, "Master Hu, this cannon is a sharp weapon after all, Xing Hebo's move may be to get closer to Wu Xun, and to repair the rift caused by the killing of the Oirat mission last time."

Hu Guang lowered his eyes and said, "Shiqi, your vision is still not enough!"

These words are a bit heavy, because Hu Guang's preferred successor is Yang Shiqi, so he was a little stunned when he heard the words.

"Master Hu, please speak clearly." Yang Shiqi cupped his hands.

Hu Guang looked at the door without focus, and said slowly: "Fang Xing seeks shipping because of the overseas plunder he advocates, but have you ever thought about it? Although a country is big, a warlike country will surely perish. How about I, Daming?" It's easy to settle down, seeing that the prince and grandson are all wise kings, Fang Dehua wants to step in at this time, he is too young!"

"Although shipping is good, it will encourage the ambitions of the people. If shipping is prosperous,

Have you ever thought about it, that is a situation where business and industry are flourishing and people's minds are good. "

Hu Guang said solemnly: "I have no grievances or enmity with Fang Xing. What we did was just a difference in orthodoxy and political views. If he is restless, the old man will naturally suppress him. If not, follow his way and we will The folk customs of Ming Dynasty are no longer simple!"

Yang Shiqi agreed: "If the people are honest and honest, great governance will not be difficult."

Hu Guang slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Can't I, Da Ming, be called Dazhi now?"

Yang Shiqi said in amazement: "Of course it can, regardless of literature, politics and martial arts, today's Ming Dynasty is comparable to the past dynasties, Master Hu has contributed a lot."

Hu Guang said gratifiedly: "If future generations can call this time a prosperous age, I will die without regret."

It is the ultimate dream of literati to assist Mingjun in creating a prosperous world.

And Hu Guang feels that he is already on the road of this dream, so whoever dares to destroy his dream is the enemy of life and death.

Hu Guang got up to open the window, and the autumn wind blew by, making him feel ecstatic and energetic.

Turning around, Hu Guang said proudly: "Your Majesty ordered to build one hundred gates first, this matter has been settled, Fang Xing's calculations have failed, and I don't know if he is upset at this moment, hahaha!"

Of course Fang Xing wasn't upset, he was blowing the autumn wind, but he was on the couch.

In the inner courtyard, Fang Xing was lying on the chair alone, looking at the stretched eyebrows, Zhang Shuhui felt that she had fallen asleep, so she tiptoed into the inner room.

Xiaobai is also sleepy, his head is shaking, and the bell beside him is also lazy. Seeing Zhang Shuhui coming in, she didn't even wag her tail, opened her eyes and closed them again, as if she had greeted the mistress.

Spring is sleepy and autumn is tired, the whole family is taking a nap, but Zhu Di has just finished his lunch.

"The combination of civil and martial arts is a big taboo of emperors. That Li Zi is helping me! Zhan Ji, what benefits do you want to give him?"

Zhu Zhanji hadn't figured out the twists and turns inside, so he looked confused.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing his grandson getting enlightened, Zhu Di couldn't help smiling happily.

"don't know?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Grandpa Huang, grandson really doesn't understand."

Zhu Di stroked his beard and said in a happy mood: "Some people say that he wants to use this to seek shipping, and some people say that he wants to please Wu Xun, but that Lizi is just taking revenge."

"revenge?"

Zhu Zhanji felt that he really didn't understand, but it was just a matter of artillery, how could so many things be involved.

Zhu Di was in a good mood, so he told his grandson the truth about it.

"Last time, your second uncle was transferred away, leaving him alone in Cochin. If he hadn't sent someone to muddy the water in advance, do you think he would have come back?"

Zhu Zhanji was surprised. Fang Xing had downplayed the Cochin War a few days ago, but now that he said this, he knew that Fang Xing had experienced such a crisis in Cochin.

"If he moves slower, those powerful families will become powerful. At that time, his little troops will not only quell the rebellion, but it will be considered good if he can keep the north."

"Grandfather, then... if the cochin is lost, I am not..."

Zhu Zhanji felt that Zhu Di's thinking was so weird that he could let Jiaozhi fall into such a situation.

There was warmth in Zhu Di's eyes, and he said kindly: "Zhan Ji, if the Cochin is in chaos, then it's time for your second uncle to go back to the teacher and clean up the Cochin thoroughly from top to bottom."

Zhu Gaoxu was bloodthirsty, if Zhu Di ordered to clean up Jiaozhi, it is estimated that those Jiaozhi people would miss the "benevolence" of the British Duke Zhang Fu, even though he also lived in Jiaozhi back then.
