Chapter 695 Chaos

Emperor Ningguo looked at the report in his hand, which was last year's statistics on industrial and commercial development. It didn't take long for industry and commerce to start last year. In the last month of last year, the income of Changqing County was almost equal to that of a county.

After the development of industry and commerce, the biggest change is the armor and weapons of soldiers and so on. Ningguo produced more than 20,000 tons of iron and steel last year, and 45 tons of iron and steel that "contains 6% black iron" and can be used to make high-level magic weapons.

The combination of these two steels suddenly doubled the combat effectiveness of Ningguo's army.

The emperor, now that he has power in his hands, he wants to show it off.

Looking at it, Emperor Ning looked to the south of the east, which was the country of Su. The most important thing is that Su State was bombarded by the Shang Kingdom last year, causing internal chaos in Su State. The old emperor of Su State actually died on the spot, and the new emperor has not yet been determined in Su State.

"This is... a big piece of fat!" With the ability in his hands, the emperor's greed began.

But at last Emperor Ningguo was somewhat rational, and he was not dazzled by the interests, but thought carefully for a long time, and immediately summoned all the officials to inquire.

After discussing for a long time, everyone was unable to come to a unified and convincing decision.

"Let's call Xiangguo (Zhang Quan) to ask about it." An official suggested.

Then call it. With an order, Zhang Quan hurried back from Changqing County and returned to the imperial capital in the middle of the night. Ning Xiaolan also came back at the same time.

Emperor Ning Guo immediately asked Zhang Quan: Is it appropriate to attack Su at this time?

"Your Majesty, now we need to develop and we need a stable environment. Therefore, I believe that we should assist Su to stabilize the country. At the same time, let Su open its borders and allow business.

They must be grateful to us for helping Su to stabilize the country. It is not difficult to allow business.

But as long as we do business, we can move Su's wealth over bit by bit. When we are strong enough, we only need a hint, Su Guo will definitely take the initiative to vote.

Moreover, taking the initiative to provoke a war will attract criticism. "

In other words—it is the fool who started the war now. Let's be smart.

Emperor Ningguo listened, thought for a while and finally agreed. "Xiangguo is right. I was confused.

Then a comprehensive order will be issued, and legal reforms will begin across the country. In addition, what about Zhongshuling Ma Derong? "

After a while, Ma Derong, the secretary in charge, came.

"Ma Derong, go to Su immediately to see if you can stabilize the situation in Su. You must remember that we are not going to support puppets, but to stabilize the situation. You can figure out the specific situation, but we must establish our The glorious image of Ningguo."

"Yes." Ma Derong received the imperial edict and set off immediately.

In a short time, an envoy left the imperial capital of Ning State and first reported to Su State; the envoy led by Ma Derong was going to be slower.

However, Ningguo didn't know that at this time, Suguo and the surrounding countries couldn't wait any longer. The drought has affected the stability of these countries. After the new year, the emperors of various countries thought it was a good opportunity to attack Su after careful consideration.

If you don't take it now, when will you wait! Do we have to wait for Su to react and attack when the whole country is united as one?

Almost at the same time that Ning Guo Zhongshu ordered Zhang Jiande to go on an envoy, several countries around Su were mobilizing troops! The bones are exposed in the wild, and heroes emerge in troubled times!

So is the hero, so is the country!

…………

There is no peace in the east of Yingzhou, not to mention the human civil war, the invasion of the monsters, and the fact that the Shang Kingdom almost adopted an extermination strategy to attack the monsters. In the south, because the Yue Kingdom obtained the technology of the Shang Kingdom and learned the national policies of the Shang Kingdom, etc., is rising rapidly.

Now Yue State has swallowed half of Wu State and several surrounding countries, and its land area has increased to nearly 20,000 miles. This has reached or even faintly surpassed the limit of the country of Yue. If it continues to expand, the state's government orders and so on will not be able to maintain efficiency, and the country of Yue will face the danger of disintegration.

Too long a distance has become the biggest obstacle to the expansion of a country. Because it is far away, it cannot be effectively controlled! Orders cannot be communicated, let alone control.

The reason why the Divine Court is vast is because everyone has high cultivation bases and super masters, which can relatively shorten the distance of communication. But at this time, the country of Yue did not have such conditions.

"However, we should learn from the Kingdom of Shang!" Gou Yuanli, Prime Minister of the Yue Kingdom, strongly refuted the views of the others. "The times have changed, and the development model of the Kingdom of Shang tells us that this is a feasible path!"

The Emperor of Yue thought for a while, and finally made a decision: "Send another envoy to the Kingdom of Shang."

Next to him, Zhao Guotai Lieutenant Bai Shuiming said: "Your Majesty, what method are we adopting for the surrounding countries? Are we going to send troops? Support the puppet regime?"

The Emperor of Yue thought for a while: "We need to treat them differently, and we cannot make all countries wary of us. Therefore, we can no longer continue to use tough military methods, and we should use a vertical and horizontal method to provoke conflicts among countries." relation.

We cannot proceed until countries can no longer trust each other.

Of course, we must learn from Shang Kingdom before this. "

…………

But it is said that the Jiufang Kingdom at this time, the Jiufang Kingdom will start... annoyed after the next year! Originally, I wanted to get a few planes of Shang Kingdom to imitate, but the situation was not optimistic.

The plane was disassembled, and as a result, everyone began to stare at each other—I'm sorry, where did this part come from?

Looking at the chaotic parts, the craftsmen of Jiufang Kingdom were really dumbfounded. To be honest, they also numbered and so on when they disassembled. But if science is to make a number, then it is not called science.

In fact, the number of parts on the plane is completely beyond the imagination of these people. You know, what the Nine Kingdoms bought from the Kingdom of Shang was a supersonic plane. This kind of aircraft is many times more complicated than a propeller aircraft.

Even people with a certain level of technical foundation dare not dismantle planes to play casually; but now, the people of Jiufang Kingdom not only have no technical foundation, but also dismantle planes, not only dismantling one, but dismantling all planes !

Hundreds of thousands of parts were put out, and the monarchs and ministers of the Nine Kingdoms looked at each other after seeing it.

Fang Zheng, the prime minister of Jiufang Kingdom, looked at it, and suddenly said something like this: "Looking at this plane is enough to prove that the Kingdom of Shang is by no means idle. There are more than 100,000 large combined parts and more small parts in one plane." It hasn't been disassembled. Just to make these parts, we need to use the power of the whole country.

But the parts produced in that way are absolutely unusable.

And there are many, many parts in it, we don't even know what they are for. "

The emperor of Jiufang Kingdom looked at the parts that were placed all over the place in front of him, almost filling up the empty space of the palace, and finally sighed, "Forget it, there is no need to study it, let's seal up these things first. Let's send someone to the business Kingdom study."

"Ah... Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Kingdom of Shang doesn't want to see us." Prime Minister Fang Zheng said in a low voice.

"Let's just send people there quietly, don't ostentatiously. Also, we can secretly plunder or even seduce some talents. Isn't there a lot of groups in the Shang Kingdom? I don't believe it. The Shang Kingdom is all saints, and none of them are for fame and fortune." move!"

"Yes." Prime Minister Fang Zheng immediately took the order and began to prepare.

…………

But at this time, the central part of Yingzhou is in chaos, real chaos, not war.

Since Yang Guo was destroyed, Zhengtian Mengwei began to keep a low profile, which is still the case today. It seems to be licking its wounds, waiting for the day when it will explode.

However, the country of Zhao began to prosper, especially with the investment of the first batch of merchant kingdoms, the construction of the first batch of factories, etc., and the delivery of a large number of arms, etc., the country of Zhao began a vigorous... military expansion movement !

Don't think about it, if Zhao Guo does this, of course the surrounding countries will do the same. For a time, military competition began among various countries. And as Zhao State purchased arms from Shang Kingdom, surrounding countries also purchased arms from Shang Kingdom one after another.

Of course, Shang Kingdom would not refuse. We only recognize money, as long as we have money, everything is easy to talk about! This is the impression that Shang Kingdom has always given to others, but it is also the image that Shang Kingdom deliberately created.

At the same time as the arms competition took place, the countries in the central part of Yingzhou also began to reform their laws one after another. But there is one thing, everyone’s path to reform is different. Some countries completely learn from the development strategy of the Shang Kingdom, while others learn from the countries around the Shang Kingdom—this should be said to be relatively smart.

However, there are still countries that directly approach Shang Kingdom and ask Shang Kingdom to help design the country's development path.

It sounds absurd to ask other countries to design their own development path. However, it is possible here in the Kingdom of Shang! The premise is that there is money, and the country's development path designed by Shang Kingdom is definitely not a fool.

Of course, the design belongs to the design, if you really want to copy it, it is too young and too simple, you always have to make a slight change "according to the actual situation".

In addition, Shao Guo asked Shang Kingdom to help design the country's development strategy. Today Shao Guo is very powerful, bullying Xing Guo to the south, bullying Wu Guo to the north, and bullying Cao Guo to the west. Only the Shang Kingdom in the east dare not Bully.

And now the resurgent Cai State occupies almost 70% of the land of the 'former' Chen State and re-establishes the country. And the national development strategy used by Cai Guo now was actually planned with the help of Shang Wang Guo!

Although Cai Guo was almost destroyed, the culprits were the Kingdom of Shang and the Kingdom of Tang, but even so, the general outline of the national development strategy used by Cai Guo was still designed by the Kingdom of Shang.

In terms of business reputation, Shang Kingdom is impeccable.

Of course, the reason why Cai Guo dares to confirm the country's restoration is because now that the human race and the monster race are fighting, the Shang Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom have almost all their military forces on the monster race battlefield, leaving no time for others. Otherwise, Cai Guo would never dare to restore the country.

In short, the situation in Yingzhou today has undergone unprecedented changes. Natural disasters are part of it, monster clan is part of it, but the most dazzling thing is the sudden rise of the Shang Kingdom.
