Chapter 264: Reflection (II)

seized the two states of Yuxu, both in terms of strength and influence, they have accounted for most of the world.

The name and title of the King of Chu originally felt very powerful, but now he thinks that the name is insufficient.

There is no need to even leak the rumors to persuade Wang Hongyi to enter the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan as soon as possible, so as to meet the seal of the hearts of the people in the world.

It turned out that Wang Hongyi inherited the position of the envoy of the festival, not reckless, most of the generals and officials of the Chu State studied the scriptures, even if some generals were not literate, there were more or less curtains, at this time, whether it was conscious, or suggestion, it was pointed out that this support and persuasion of the merit could not be missed, which was second only to the merit of Conglong.

As a result, within a few days, Jinling persuaded the Jinjin Concert to pour into the Secret Literature Pavilion like snowflakes, and all localities would follow suit.

Jinling is the old capital of the previous dynasty, and there are palaces, temples, and altars of heaven and earth, and there is no need to build them, but the actions of the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites cannot hide people, and it seems that the emperor is in front of him.

On December 20, Wang Yan, deputy Cheng on the left, Yu Zhao on the right, Li Xian and Li Gang, the privy envoy, Ding Huchen, the secretary of the cabinet, and Zhang Youzhi, a scholar of the secretary cabinet, led hundreds of civil and military officials to formally persuade them.

“...... Now Shu, Chu, Wu, Qi, Wei are all deserved, the Central Plains, only Luoyang, in the blink of an eye, the king has most of the world, 500,000 troops, Xingshi crusade, will be invincible, attack everything...... Now the Hu people are wreaking havoc in Yan Zhao, and the king should obey the order of heaven and march north to relieve the suffering of all the people and save all the people from fire and water, which is also imperative, and unify the world, how can it be just the king's name? The minister thinks that calling the emperor Dingding is a move to innovate the mandate of heaven...... At this time, he will not be called the emperor to ascend the throne, in order to determine the righteousness, but when will he wait for the king to be called the emperor, and he will be ordered by the heavens to comfort the people......"

At the beginning of the table, Wang Hongyi humbly retired with insufficient moral prestige.

The ministers refused, and Wang Hongyi was humble, and the decree said: "The prestige of the lonely is insufficient, and the sages in the sea should be suspended, and the position will be vacant."

The ministers said: "There is no sage in the world who has ever been a king." ”

So the three went up to the table, Wang Hongyi sighed and said: "God gave his order, I dare not disobey it, and I reluctantly accept it."

It is to set the country name "Cheng".

At this time, the snowflakes were continuous, and the Secret Pavilion was deliberating

The great candle was burning, the hall was bright, the brazier was burning, and the heat filled the inside

Wang Hongyi sat in the center, and Wang Yan, Yu Zhao, Li Xian, Li Gang, Ding Huchen, and Zhang Youzhi discussed major matters

In the Secret Pavilion, everyone's voices were deliberately suppressed, and the atmosphere was still full of joy.

Yu Zhao said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and the prime minister and the cabinet, this enthronement ceremony has been arranged, even the military and political officials from other provinces have no time to meet them." ”

"It doesn't matter, just let them see you afterwards. Wang Hongyi didn't think it was strange and said.

"Your Majesty, the list of officials of the two provinces of Henan and Xu has been agreed, and they will all be in place by March of the next year, and the grain, grass, and weight in preparation will begin to be mobilized, and the factories and mines will work in three shifts according to the requirements of the king, and the weapons, gunpowder, and paper armor will be rapidly consumed, and it is expected that by April next year, they will be able to meet the needs of the war. Wang Yan said.

Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "After the king ascends the throne, the angel sent to Zheng Guogong will set off. ”

Li Gang bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, all the seals and dresses have been made and can be used at any time, and the dresses and gold, silver and bronze seals of the world's officials are still working overtime to carve, and after the king ascends the throne, they will be promulgated and become customized." ”

Ding Huchen said: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council's plan to reorganize the army has been completed, and the army will be formally conscripted after January 15, and it is expected that the basic training will be completed in April, and then it will be transferred to various armies to reorganize the army, and it is estimated that it will be completed around May, and then a big war can be launched."

When Wang Hongyi heard a paragraph, he said "um", and smiled after listening: "The cabinet is well prepared, Zhang Qing, do you think there are any gaps in the deployment?"

Zhang Youzhi bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister has no disagreement"

Wang Hongyi smiled, stood up, and paced: "Next year's strategic plan is to obtain Yanzhou and Luoyang, completely divide the Yellow River for governance, have a naval division to intercept, and the elite soldiers are on the shore, and the Hu people will not be able to enter, so that the core of the Central Plains will fall into the hands of this dynasty, and it has already won six or seven out of ten of the Han population, and the foundation will be stable." ”

"Your Majesty, the Yellow River is different from the Yangtze River, and some sections of the river will freeze in winter. Zhang Youzhi reminded him.

"This lonely knows, but the Yellow River is frozen, not thick ice every year, can make the carriages, horses and pedestrians cross the river, there may not be once in ten years, this time is enough, and even if it freezes, Lone has a way. Wang Hongyi said, pointing to the map: "Then the world is divided into this." ”

"The Hu people occupy the two states of Youji, and may occupy the three states of Yiqing and Liang in the future, while the king of Qin occupies the central state. ”

At this time, Wang Yan was a little unwilling: "Your Majesty, we can directly attack Qingliang Erzhou." ”

Yu Zhao shook his head and said: "Wang Xiangguo, our army has just leveled the Central Plains, and even the south has been governed for no more than three years, and the foundation is unstable, and now it is too risky to fight a decisive battle with the Hu people." ”

"Yu Xiangguo is reasonable, our army's plan in the future is that the army will be reorganized and cultivated, the Central Plains and the south will be at the beginning of peace, and the government will be unstable, so we must not fight against the country. ”

"But I won't do nothing, you see, Qingzhou and Youzhou are both coastal, I have 60,000 sailors, invincible in the world, how can I not use it at this time?"

"Someone once wrote that now that the south has been decided, the naval division can be reduced, which is really ignorant, the naval division is 60,000, which can carry 200,000 troops of the army. ”

"The Hu people have a total of 300,000 men, and at this time they will attack about 150,000, and 150,000 can control such a vast area? The advantage of the Hu people lies in the horsepower, which can be 200 miles a day and a night, which is very sharp, and our sailors, isn't they sea cavalry? ”

Wang Hongyi pointed to the map and sneered: "The Hu people are elite, and their strength is indeed not to be underestimated, but if they have not been able to establish a stable political power, they have been galloping around, and if they lose one, they will lose one less, and in a few years, they will be the end of the crossbow." ”

"The north can still be plundered in a short time, and after a few years, burn a hundred miles without a single grain, once this happens, even if the Hu people have more luck, they can only sit and wait to die. ”

Speaking of this, although the cabinet ministers have not heard it on the first day, they still nodded in agreement, but they are all a little unbearable, so that the north will continue to be in trouble, but this is also a helpless thing.

Wang Hongyi said: "Gu has already won most of the world, this time to obtain Yanzhou and Luoyang, control the Yellow River, is the most critical battle, as long as the victory, the foundation will be unbreakable, the unification of the world has no variables, the efforts of the secretaries"

When the people heard this, they were all shaken, and they bowed in unison, and they shouted, "May they die for the king."

After worshipping, Yu Zhao was a little bitter and said: "The king has a wise plan, but the cabinet also has some difficulties, Shuzhong is broken, and now it has recovered in a few years, and there is not much grain that can be transported, and it is necessary to support Guanzhong." ”

"The south was originally Jiaozhou, although now a large number of displaced people have been reclaimed, and there are rubber shoes and gloves to solve most of the schistosomiasis, but in the end, it has not been reclaimed for a long time, and the grain can only be self-sufficient. ”

"Originally, Jingzhou and Yangzhou were fertile lands with large populations, but they repeatedly mobilized troops, and two-thirds of the world's military food was used here. ”

"Your Majesty, who was originally rich, now has some initial complaints...... Even if it is a fertile field, it cannot be planted continuously, stubble after stubble, it will become barren, and if you draw too much blood, you will lose your vitality, so please take a break. ”

Wang Hongyi listened very carefully, nodded again and again, and said in a deep voice: "This is Jingguo Road, in addition to food, is there anything lacking?"

"Your Majesty, there is no shortage of weapons and gunpowder now, but the peace is not long in coming, the reclamation is insufficient, and food is a big problem. ”

Wang Hongyi paced and said, "There is actually a way to do this. ”

Everyone in the cabinet couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Please make it clear to the king." ”

Wang Hongyi was silent and paced: "You can rely on the sea." ”

"Your Majesty, the fishermen are barren and lack self-sufficiency, can they rely on it?" asked Zhang Youzhi puzzled.

Wang Hongyi's face was solemn, and in an instant, the cabinet ministers felt that the relaxed look they had just now disappeared, and they couldn't help but hold their breath and listen.

"In ancient times, why couldn't fishermen rely on it? In fact, it would rot and deteriorate, and after fishing at sea, they could only go 20 miles a day when they went ashore and rowed their boats, that is to say, the fish could only be bought and sold within 20 miles, and within 20 miles, almost everyone could catch fish, so who could sell the fish to? The next day it was not good, it could only be wasted, so the fishermen could not feed the country, not that the production was not good," Wang Hongyi said, remembering his previous life.

In the 80s of my previous life, I lived on the coast, only a few dozen miles from the sea, and there were people who rowed boats to sell hairtail, because there were no clippers and refrigerators, so the hairtail fish was only sold for a dime and a catty, but if it could not be sold that day, it would be buried in the ground as a fertilizer field (personal experience).

But once there were refrigerators and faster means of transportation, the fishing industry grew rapidly.

In Wang Hongyi's previous life, he remembered that there were 500 million tons of grain, but the total output of aquatic products was 50 million tons.

You must know that these 500 million tons of grain have been increased by various means.

In this era, the total grain output in the world may not be 50 million tons, and as long as there are 10 million tons of aquatic products supplemented, the food needs of 2 million people can be met immediately.

Everyone in the cabinet immediately understood that they had considered fishing before, but they didn't have such a thorough understanding, and their eyes lit up when they heard this.

Li Gang asked, "Your Majesty, how to solve the problem of fish entering the country?"

"Fish floss" said, Wang Hongyi ordered someone to hand over a document to the cabinet people, this is the way of fish floss, in fact, he also wanted to say salted dried fish, but endured it.

The production method of fish floss is very simple, peel the fish and remove the bones, cook until it is rotten, put it into a large pot and add condiments to stir-fry and dry, so that the processed fish floss can be stored for a long time, and the storage period can be up to 3 months in a cool place, and it can be used as military food or export.

Coal and firewood can be used as materials for firing fish floss.

Fish floss on the earth, it was invented in the Tongzhi period of Xianfeng, and then did not get the opportunity to develop.

After reading the materials, the cabinet's eyes lit up and they were deeply excited.

"The king, this kind of dried fish is worth no less than a million new fields, the field needs people to plant, need to build water conservancy, and follow the climate, there are only one or two seasons a year, fishing is completely free, fish is born in water, fishermen can fish up as long as they are fished, this is drought and flood to ensure harvest, this skill line, food shortage in the coming year, it will not be a problem, and there will be no fear of disaster in the future. ”

"It's an exaggeration not to be afraid of a disaster year, but it's not a problem to live a few million more people. Wang Hongyi smiled faintly, he didn't think about it so simply.

Many traversers are thinking about how to sail and how to capitalize, but in Wang Hongyi's view, they have not grasped the key points, and they are all people who go to politics.

And this fish floss is epoch-making, once invented, it will make a great change in the coast.

The reason is very simple: a large number of coastal residents across the country will switch to the fishermen's business, and the coastal areas can be greatly enhanced without considering the landless population, at least the vitality of the coastal areas.

In order to supply a large number of fishermen's industries, the shipbuilding industry will be further developed, and shipbuilding and fishing will promote the development of maritime trade and form a great voyage.

Everything is a matter of course, and after five years, it will not be Wang Hongyi who wants to make a voyage, but the people in the entire coastal area who want to sail.

In fact, in addition to dried fish, there were also dried salted fish in ancient times, which can also achieve the purpose, and Europe is the homeland of salted fish, which promoted the great voyage.

But why was salted fish not allowed in ancient times?

Quite simply, salted fish will destroy the salt policy, and with salted fish, why should the people buy salt?

Just like ordinary people in Europe, buying a few salted fish to eat, getting salt and eating meat, will greatly reduce the salt profits controlled by the government.

Therefore, salted fish were not allowed to appear on a large scale throughout the ages.

And if salted fish are not allowed, the natural ocean will be meaningless, and nature will stifle the great navigation.

The root cause of everything, the factor of the backward capital era in China, is only the word "salted fish".

That's why Wang Hongyi doesn't say "salted fish" now, but "fish floss".

However, the seizure of the world, the further development of the customs, and the existence of sufficient state revenue, it does not matter if the salt administration is affected, the cheapening of fine salt and the opening of salted fish are inevitable, which will make China evolve into the Great Voyage within a few decades.

At that time, customs and fisheries will account for one-third of the world's finances and grain, forming a huge interest class, even if the emperors and prime ministers of later generations want to abolish it, they will not be abolished, so that no one will go to politics.

Wang Hongyi thought of this, and suddenly the "Ding" device moved.

The purple gas in the tripod vessel was dense, emitting a wave of * water light, rippling the void, in the palace it was just a microwave, but outside, the red luck made a monstrous sound of waves.

In the void, there were circles of red qi luck, circulating and flowing, and faintly, yellow qi luck surfaced.

Wang Hongyi looked at it from a distance and found this trace, his face couldn't help but change, and he was surprised and happy in his heart.

Whenever something happens to unify the world, its qi will be red, and the ancients didn't know it, thinking that it was fire virtue.

And the prosperity of the rule of the times, the peaceful situation, the prosperity of the country, the fortune of the country turned yellow, which was considered by the ancients to be a virtue.

I thought that the qi of the whole country would turn yellow, but this must be after the unification of the world, and a similar rule of Zhenguan can be carried out in order to gradually turn yellow and envelop the land of China.

In other words, in the previous life on the earth, sixty years after the founding of the country, its qi was only yellow.

Now this thought has this omen, which is really lucky

The ministers in the cabinet didn't know what Wang Hongyi was thinking, and he didn't think so at first, but later he said that he was broken, and he saw that he was thinking deeply and far-sighted.

The more I thought about it at the moment, the more excited I became, and everyone couldn't help but kowtow to the ground and say: "The king's plan to see the sun and the moon through the dark clouds is really lofty and lofty."

Wang Hongyi smiled slightly and said no more.
