Chapter 2 Advantages and Disadvantages
When Wang Yue heard Shen Dazhi's proposal, he was quite surprised: "How could Brother Shen suddenly mention this matter?"
Shen Da waved his hand and said, "Young Master, Shen Guo knows that the general of the Huaishan Alliance Army, Mr. She Yu, who is about to establish a country, is still missing a wife. He sent an envoy to Jili the day before yesterday, hoping to marry the young master. I was preparing to inform you about this matter, but I did not imagine that the envoys from the East China Sea and even the South Yue Kingdom came one after another."
"Envoyees from all countries are coming for this matter." He said helplessly: "The threshold of my political affairs hall has almost been broken by them."
Wang Yue laughed and asked, "Didn't the five countries in Huaihang send envoys here?"
Shen Dao smiled and said, "The descendants of Huai Bo have not yet married the prince and his son. How could the monarchs of the five kingdoms in Huai Shang dare to climb onto Huai Bo's head? This is also one of the reasons why the princess of ordinary small countries are not worthy of the prince."
"Otherwise, if Mrs. Gongzi Zheng is the princess of other small countries, whether it is Huaibo or the monarch of the five kingdoms of Huai Shang, they will have some grudges in their hearts, which is actually not conducive to diplomatic relations. If they marry a princess of a great country, they will have nothing to say."
"It is also a privilege for domestic officials to have a princess of a great country as the mother of the country."
Wang Yue nodded, knowing that even ordinary people, marriage involves two families, and the monarch of one country involves all aspects of national affairs and diplomatic relations. He should not be ignored. After thinking about it, he said, "This matter can be based on Brother Shen's wishes, but it must be done after the establishment of the country. If you want to marry Princess Yong, you must prepare well."
"Although my country of snakes is small at this time, it cannot be called a minor sight in Yong country. When I go to propose marriage in person, I should show my country's wealth and strength."
"As for the envoys from all countries, I asked me to reveal the marriage with Huaiying a little, and told him to leave."
"I'm afraid the envoys from all countries may not go by themselves." Shen Dao said with a smile: "Zeng Li has three wives of the king of Yun. Without a wife and a fair wife, there is still a fair wife to fight for. But here the prince still needs to pay some of the gods to weigh the choices."
Listening to Wang Yue sighed in his heart.
If he is a poor boy who is not a name, he may not be able to marry the most beautiful village girl in the village.
Now as the future king of Snake Yu, he has a great reputation and influence. The princess that countless young people in various countries have dreamed of not only does not need to be obtained, but also allows him to choose like goods. He cannot be the wife. This is the difference brought by different strengths.
"Brother Shen thinks what are the advantages and disadvantages of marrying princesses from various countries?" Wang Yue asked.
Shen Dao thought for a while and said, "Among all countries, even if they are unwilling to admit it, my mother country, Shen, is the weakest country and will not help the prince. Therefore, it should be rejected. The other three countries, Xiang Kingdom, the East China Sea and the Yue Kingdom have their own advantages and disadvantages."
"The Xiang Kingdom is from the previous dynasty, with a profound foundation and a strong national power. It is also close to Cai Kingdom. If the young master attacks Cai in the future, this country can help."
"The East China Sea Kingdom has a longer origin, and its foundation needs to be said, and its national power is not bad, especially on the sea and on the water."
"If the young master attacks Cai, he can also help him, and even use good help, but the disadvantage of this country is that the whole country cannot get up early without profit, and he will sway when he sees the wind, and is not a good ally. It is rumored that he has always regarded himself as the source of the world, which is extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, the Dragon Lord of the East China Sea seems to be interested in the water veins of the world, and has conflicts with the agreement between the young master and Huaibo, which is the most undesirable of the Three Kingdoms."
"The last is Yue Kingdom."
"The State of Yue did not help the prince, but he was once a great country after all. He also competed for hegemony with Jing and Cai. I heard that the beauty of Yue women is the best in the world, but it is also good if he wants to be a fair wife."
"So, Brother Shen tends to be Xiangguo?" Wang Yue smiled and thought for a moment: "There is a lot of connection between our country and Xiangguo. At this moment, General Fei Lian, who is the first director of the martial arts lecture hall in our army, was once one of the six generals of the six armies of the emperor of Xiang. He had a friendship with Shang Long, the guardian god of Xiangguo, who is now in charge of the government. In addition, this time, I led the Huai coalition forces to defeat the main force of Cai, and to regain the power of Xiangguo. With this level, there is no need to strengthen it by marriage."
"Besides, with the current relationship between Cai and Xiang, my country attacks Cai, and he is naturally an ally."
Shen Dao said, "But that's the same, what does the young master mean?"
Wang Yue said: "Next time, if my country of snake Yu attacks Cai, there is no need for any help. The power of one country is enough. Brother Shen thinks that under such circumstances, which princess is the best choice?"
"Mikkien?"
"Not bad." Wang Yue said: "In fact, regardless of whether there is any support or not, the Donghai Kingdom only hinders my relationship with Huaibo's allies, so I should not consider it first."
"The five countries on Huai are extremely important to our country. In the future, our country will be full of industry and commerce, and it is even the biggest source of wealth. The sea salt needed in our country in daily life is also mainly Huai salt, so this relationship must be managed and maintained well."
"Although the Yue Kingdom in the south of Huai Shang is not adjacent to me, it will not help me in military affairs, our country will have great benefits in the Yue Kingdom in the future. Now, we have tried Huangtangshen, a confidential Huangtang, which is classified as Jidi, must have tasted it. Those are made of sugarcane shipped from the Yue Kingdom."
"In our country, only if the sugarcane is used as raw material and slightly processed into yellow sugar, it will be a thousand times more profitable."
"In addition, there are mulberry silkworms in Yue Kingdom, but they are not in scale. I also intend to collect raw silk and process them with sugar..."
Shen Dao took a deep breath and put aside the marriage with various countries, and asked in surprise: "Sugarcane turns into yellow sugar and raw silk. Can these thousands of benefits be created?"
Wang Yue affirmed: "Of course it can be created."
Shen Dao thought of the creative order that Wang Yue said before, and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such amazing benefits in creation. Now, only the creation of the young master can achieve a rich country. If everyone in the Snake Yu Kingdom had this creation, what would this world look like."
He seemed to have realized something: "But ordinary people are foolish people, how can they create anything? I understand that the young master seeks to popularize education and spreads a lot of knowledge to the general public. It is not just to cultivate talents, but these people will have the power to create at that time."
"With creation and such great benefits, our laws only need to ensure that the creation results belong to their own and are beneficial to the country. In the future, everyone will create them. Even if it is just a small country, it will definitely be richer than a big country, a thousand times more than a hundred times."
Thinking of this, he frowned again and said, "It's just that a country must not only be rich, but also be strong, otherwise it's like a child walking in a night of gold."
Wang Yue laughed and said, "The way of creation includes all aspects, which is not only about improving life, but also in order to use it in war. In a creative country, it can even be said that the richer the country is, the stronger the country is. Even if it is richer, it is impossible to be strong."
Shen Dao seemed to be confused, and Wang Yue explained: "Before the age of the Holy Emperor, humans used wood and stone as soldiers, but since the age of the Holy Emperor, they have changed to copper as soldiers, and thus developed many powerful war weapons. The random charges that were dominated by warriors have become more powerful battle formations in all directions. These are all creations of people in war, which can be said to have greatly improved people's combat effectiveness."
"This time, I commanded the Huai Shang coalition. The reason why I was able to defeat Cai State was due to the creation of war. First of all, in terms of military system, I made innovations for the coalition forces, and adopted a new and more powerful tactic. In terms of equipment, I temporarily transferred them to the crossbows."
"Not mentioning the former, the latter's crossbow cannon was easily killed by a few miles away by just a few operations. The crossbow cannon was only the beginning of creation on war weapons."
Shen Da nodded and said, "Young Master said before that in the future, the country of Snake Yu will attack Cai without the help of other countries. Is this because of this?"
Wang Yue smiled and said, "It's because of this."
He looked around again and said, "Brother Shen, please follow me. Since the last battle between Huaixiacheng and Cai State, I have created many more utensils, but they are limited to materials and are limited to them and cannot be popularized for the time being. When the country of Snake Yu is slightly developed, it will be different."
So the two returned to the instrument test site.
Shen Dao didn't care about this test site at first, but he turned his attention away and discovered many things he had not paid attention to on weekdays.
It turned out that this place was located on a mountain where the standing army was stationed below. The defense of the test site seemed to be taken over by the people of the Gongwei Department. It is said that except for Zhao Wu, Wang Yue's subordinates, the strongest Yangyouzheng, was arranged to personally garrison here. Visitors seemed to have other important personnel of his level, and other unrelated people would be blocked by the people of the Gongwei Department outside and not allowed to enter.
Thinking about it this way, it is undoubtedly designed to keep the confidentiality of all kinds of powerful devices.
After thinking about it, Shen Dao had already entered the site with Wang Yue. The surrounding buildings were all newly fired brick and stone masonry built by the brick factory in the territory in recent months based on the brick kilns in Linan Manor. In addition to the doors and windows, they were all two-story buildings, and the outer layer was also painted with lime powder. Overall, there was no luxury, clean, bright and simple. Compared with the buildings in this world, it had a unique style.
Then, his eyes were attracted by the various instruments and tools used by the warriors and soldiers in the field.
