The Mansion of Wei is located near Wende Bridge, near the East Garden, and the Zhumen is a large household, with extraordinary momentum.

It's just that thrift is advocated today, and the ministers' mansions are generally not very luxurious.

Although the mansion of the Duke of Wei is lined up one after another, the pavilions and pavilions are scattered, which is equivalent to the identity of the Duke of Wei. But the interior decoration is more quaint.

On the west wall of the back garden, seven or eight craftsmen are building a biogas digester using newly produced cement from Nanxiang. Now all the families in Nanjing who can afford it have begun to build biogas digesters.

It is said that after the completion of the biogas digester, the thatched toilet not only has no smell, the biogas produced can also be used to burn the fire, the Yahuan Xiaofu is very curious, have gone to watch, the craftsman has transferred to the slurry, is scraping the pond wall, just this cement slurry, let the Yahuan Xiaofu feel fresh.

Different from the bustle of the West Chamber, in the inner study on the east side, Sima An, who had just left the court, changed into regular clothes and was making ink by the sandalwood desk.

There is a stream of oil in the inkstone, and a few wolves are hanging on the pen stand; In the redstone smoker on the table, cigarettes linger on the first floor, making the study more peaceful.

Sima Kai came in to greet him, and he saluted respectfully.

"What's the matter with you?" Sima An focused on moving the pen and asked without raising his head.

"Father, when the child met His Majesty in the Huagai Hall yesterday," Sima Kai said this, waving his hand to let the two maids waiting in the study withdraw, and then told Sima An what happened in the Huagai Hall one by one.

Sima An put down his pen and picked up the Jingde Qinghua teacup. I took a sip and began to ponder.

He was both surprised and confused.

Unexpectedly. Now at a young age, he has put the governing concepts of Confucianism, Taoism, Law, Vertical and Horizontal, Bing, and Mo so smoothly that even he has to sigh to himself.

What is confusing is that when Jin Shang said this to his son, it was nothing more than to convey it to himself through his mouth, after all, no matter how good the statecraft. Someone also needs to do it. But why don't you consult with yourself directly?

"What else did Your Majesty mention?"

"Back to my father, my majesty didn't mention anything else."

Sima An knew Qin Mu very well. Don't look at his youth, many behaviors that seem to be child's play have deep meanings. Since ancient times, it has been thought that the most taboo thing for a minister is to be a high meritorious. Suspicious of people.

Such a heavy national focus. Jinshang did not discuss directly with himself, the first assistant, but wanted to convey it through the mouth of his son, and the deep meaning of this made Sima An unable to figure it out.

Could it be that some of his own behaviors make Jin Shang dissatisfied, so he implies a warning of alienation?

Sima Kai didn't think about it so deeply, he admired Qin Mu's statecraft so much, and couldn't help but say: "Father, Your Majesty is thoughtful. With great foresight, if this set of statecraft can be implemented. The prosperity of Great Qin can be expected. ”

"This set of statecraft has been implemented for a long time." Sima An glanced at his son lightly and said, "In the future, when you walk in front of Your Majesty, use more brains, with your hindsight, this family will be defeated in your hands sooner or later." ”

Sima Kai was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The child is foolish, please punish your father." ”

After all, his son is still young, Sima An looked at it and sighed secretly, and now he is treating Sima's family, which can be regarded as a mountain. If this son can compete in the future, it will not be difficult to get ahead;

It's just that the companion is like a tiger, with his scheming, he still needs to be trained, otherwise I really don't know which one will cause a big disaster.

He pointed out one by one: "Your Majesty has built the sea and army military academies, why did you come?" ”

"Father, this child has already thought that His Majesty is using a soldier. There are also encouragement of industry and commerce, streamlining institutions, reducing taxes, and handing over shipyards and government-run weaving bureaus to the private sector, which are examples of the Taoist policy of inaction, but nothing else."

Sima An was slightly comforted, this son was still able to be saved, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty has set up research departments in the shipyard, the ordnance superintendent, the textile factory, the Anshan Mine, the Taifu Temple, the Sinong Temple, and the Tai Hospital, and has also issued a heavy reward in the Daqin Times to seek various inventions, what can you think of from them?" ”

"Ah, this is the Mo family"

Sima An nodded and said: "As for Confucianism, Confucianism has been respected for thousands of years, and there is no need for His Majesty to emphasize it, as long as it is not denied." Do you understand? ”

"Oh, thank you father, for your teachings, my child understands. There is also the removal of the Honglu Temple, the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and diplomacy, which is to improve the vertical and horizontal family "Sima Kai inferences from one another, so that after calculation, Confucianism, Taoism, Law, Vertical and Horizontal, Bing, Mo among the six schools, there is only one Legalist.

Sima An knew what he was thinking, and said lightly: "The pre-Qin dynasty ruled the country with the Legalist family, and His Majesty inherited the legal system of the first emperor, and the Legalist family was the most sensitive. ”

Sima Kai really understood this time, the most sensitive legalist, Qin Mu put it to the end, and I am afraid that it will be moisturizing things silently in the future, and there will be no big moves, but bit by bit improvement.

With the credit of the Sima family, making some small mistakes will not lead to big disasters, and if you make a mistake of principle, I am afraid that it will be a disaster, so Sima An will be so patient with his son.

If you have mastered these major national political frameworks, as long as you follow this framework, you will not go against the dragon scales.

Sima Kai cautiously asked, "Father, you"

"Although His Majesty is young, he is thoughtful, round on the outside and square on the inside, and his talent for governing the world is beyond the reach of the monarchs of the past dynasties.

Sima An's words were not so much for his son, but for Qin Mu, and after speaking, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and re-pondered the deep meaning of Qin Mu's words through his son's mouth.

On Gu Rong's flagship, Zheng Sihai, Zhang Mingzhen, Hai Rufeng, Tong Haifeng, Shi Lang, Wang Guichen, Chen Hui, Zhao Han and others gathered around the map, discussing the strategy of attacking Manila Port.

Everyone felt that it was not advisable to storm by force, and the Spaniards not only had 20 warships, but also a large number of shore artillery fortifications outside the harbor, and the possibility of a strong attack was almost zero.

Shi Lang said: "According to the report, although the Spaniards have transferred many warships, the total number is now only 1,400, and the total number of natives in Luzon is only 3,000. If it doesn't work, let's find a spot nearby, let the Marines land in small boats, and attack Manila City from the shore. ”

Hai Rufeng immediately said: "Then let me lead the marines to land, my battleships are all disabled, and there is no point in staying on the ship." ”

Zheng Sihai said: "You better rest first, you can't let you eat all this meat alone." ”

Tong Haifeng and the others immediately said: "That's it." ”

Each fleet of the Great Qin Royal Navy has a Marine Corps, the Marine Commander of the South China Sea Fleet He Qingyuan, and the Marine Li Ke of the East China Sea Fleet stopped hearing it, and let you snatch the meat in your bowl, so what are we messing with?

He Qingyuan preemptively said: "You want to lead the Marine Corps ashore, okay, let His Majesty transfer you to the Marine Corps first." ”

Li Ke was more direct: "Fuck, it's all about us as decorations, right?" Lao Tzu has been practicing hard for a whole year, and when he hands over the Marine Corps to you, I want to be beautiful! ”

Gu Rong said: "Don't fight, what's there to fight about, no one wants to stick their feet in other people's crotches." ”

"I love to hear what the Admiral says, you do the work on the sea, and you don't want to interfere with the work on the land."

Hai Rufeng smiled, he also knew that he was a little unauthentic, so he said: "General He, Brother Li, I'm not idle, so let's land with you and give you a hand, it's all right?" ”

"That's pretty much it."

In the port of Manila, Andre and others also estimated that the Qin army might choose to land nearby, so they sent people to closely inspect the coastline, and once the Qin army really landed, they immediately attacked head-on.

Andrei then ordered martial law in the city, strictly forbidding all Han people to go out, otherwise they would be killed.

This time the Qin army came with more than 20,000 people, although I had heard that if I put a few rounds of guns, the Chinese would collapse, and it was very unbeatable, but the disparity between the forces of the two sides was huge, and the atmosphere in Manila was still very tense.

At the corner of the neighborhood where the Spaniards lived, fortifications were piled up, and Spanish soldiers with loaded guns were patrolling back and forth, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
