Chapter 692 Chaos
Emperor Ningguo looked at the report in his hand. This was a statistics on the development of industry and commerce last year. Not long after the development of industry and commerce last year, the income of Changqing County was almost equal to that of a county in the last month.
After the development of industry and commerce, the biggest change was the soldiers' armor and weapons, etc. Ningguo produced more than 20,000 tons of steel last year, and "containing 6% of black iron" could make (illegal weapon) steel with advanced magic weapons, producing 45 tons.
The combined combination of these two steel items has greatly increased the combat effectiveness of Ningguo's army.
The emperor? If you have the power in your hands, you want to show it.
As he looked, Emperor Ningguo looked at the southeastern location, which was the Su Kingdom. The most important thing was that the Su Kingdom was bombarded by the Shang Kingdom last year, causing chaos in the Su Kingdom. The old emperor of the Su Kingdom actually died on the spot. Now, the new emperor in the Su Kingdom has not yet been confirmed.
"This is... a big piece of fat meat!" With the power in my hand, the emperor's greed began.
However, the Emperor of Ningguo was a little rational and was not blinded by the interests. Instead, he thought carefully for a long time and immediately summoned all officials to inquire.
After a long discussion, no one could come up with a unified and convincing decision.
"Let's call the Prime Minister (Zhang Quan) to ask." An official suggested.
Then call me. Zhang Quan hurried back from Changqing County and returned to the imperial capital late at night. At the same time, Ning Xiaolan was also the one who came back.
Emperor Ningguo immediately asked Zhang Quan: Is it appropriate to attack Su Guo at this time?
"Your Majesty, now we need development, we need a stable environment. Therefore, I believe that we should assist the Soviet state in stabilizing the country. At the same time, let the Soviet state open its borders and allow business.
We will definitely be grateful to the Soviet Union for helping the country stabilize. It is not difficult to allow business.
But as long as we do business, we can bring the wealth of Su country little by little. When we are strong enough, we only need a hint that Su country will inevitably take the initiative to invest.
Besides, taking the initiative to provoke a war will attract criticism.”
In other words, it is a fool who is starting a war now. We must be smart people.
After hearing this, the Emperor of Ningguo thought for a while and finally agreed. "The Prime Minister is right. I am confused.
Then order the whole country to start reforms. In addition, what about the Secretary of the Central Committee, Ma Derong?"
After a while, the Secretariat Ling Ma Derong came.
"Ma Derong, you should go to the Soviet state immediately to see if you can stabilize the situation in the Soviet state. You must remember that we are not trying to support puppets, but to stabilize the situation. You can decide the specific situation, but you must establish the glorious image of our Ningguo."
"Yes." Ma Derong received the imperial edict and set off immediately.
In a moment, an envoy left the Ningguo imperial capital and first informed the Soviet state; the mission led by Ma Derong was slower.
However, Ningguo did not know that the Soviet Union was further west and neighboring countries could no longer wait. The drought had affected the stability of these countries. After the New Year, after repeated consideration, the emperors of various countries believed that attacking the Soviet Union was a good opportunity.
If you don’t take it at this time, then when will you wait! Should you wait until the Soviet Union reacts and the whole country is united and united?
Almost as the Secretary of the Ningguo Central Committee, Zhang Jiande, was on his way, several countries around the Soviet Union were urging troops! The bones were exposed in the wilderness, and heroes emerged in troubled times!
This is true for heroes and so for the country!
…………
The east of Yingzhou is not at peace, the human race is invading, the demon race is almost extinct, and the Shang Kingdom is rising rapidly because it has obtained the Shang Kingdom's technology and learned the Shang Kingdom's national policies, etc.
Now the Yue Kingdom has swallowed half of the Wu Kingdom and several surrounding countries, and its land area has increased to nearly 20,000 miles in radius. This has reached, or even faintly exceeded the limit of the Yue Kingdom. If it continues to expand, then the state's government orders and other laws will not be able to maintain efficiency, and the Yue Kingdom will face the risk of disintegration.
Too far away has become the biggest obstacle to a country's expansion. Because it is far away, it cannot be effectively controlled! Even the orders cannot be conveyed, so how can we control it?
The reason why the Divine Court is vast is that everyone has high cultivation and has super experts, which can relatively shorten the communication distance. However, the State of Yue did not have such conditions at this time.
"But we should learn from the Shang Kingdom!" Yue State Prime Minister Gou Yuanli refuted the other people's views, "The times have changed, and the development model of the Shang Kingdom tells us that this is a path that can be walked!"
The Emperor of Yue thought about it and finally made a decision: "Send an envoy to the Shang Kingdom again."
Next to him, the Grand Marshal of Zhao State Bai Shuiming said: "Your Majesty, what method do we use for the surrounding countries? Should we send troops? Support the puppet regime?"
The Emperor of Yue thought for a while: "We must treat it differently, and we must not make all countries wary of us. Therefore, we cannot continue to use tough military means in the future. We should provoke relations between countries through the method of unity and alliance.
Only after all countries cannot trust each other can we continue to take action.
Of course, before this, we must learn from the Shang Kingdom.”
…………
But at this time, Jiufang Kingdom began to... get angry after the New Year! I originally wanted to get a few planes from the Shang Kingdom to imitate, but the situation was not optimistic.
The plane was taken apart, and everyone started to stare at me - I'll wipe, where should this part be put?
Looking at the chaotic parts all over the place, the craftsmen in Jiufang Kingdom were really shocked. To be honest, they also made numbers when dismantling them, etc. But if science is just a number, it would not be called science.
In fact, the number of parts on the plane was completely beyond the imagination of these people. You should know that the Jiufang Kingdom exchanged it from the Shang Kingdom, but supersonic aircraft. This kind of aircraft is countless times more complicated than propeller aircraft.
Even people with certain technical foundations dare not dismantle planes casually; but now, people from Jiufang Kingdom not only have no technical foundations, but also dismantle planes, not only one, but all the planes have been removed!
Tens of thousands of parts were placed, and after seeing it, the kings and ministers of the nine countries looked at each other.
After seeing this, Fang Zheng, the prime minister of Jiufang Kingdom, suddenly said: "Looking at this plane is enough to prove that the Shang Kingdom is not an ordinary person. One plane has more than 100,000 large combined parts, and more small parts have not been removed. Just to make these parts, we need to use the power of the whole country.
But the parts produced like this are absolutely unusable.
And there are many parts in it, and we don’t know what it is for.”
The emperor of Jiufang Kingdom looked at the parts placed in front of him, and almost filled the open space in the palace. Finally, he sighed, "Forget it, don't need to study it anymore, seal these things first. Let's send someone to study in the Shang Kingdom."
"Ah... Your Majesty, the Shang Kingdom is afraid that it doesn't like us." Prime Minister Fang Zheng whispered.
"We just need to send people quietly, don't swagger. Also, we can plunder and even tempt some talents in secret. Don't the Shang Kingdom have many groups or something? I don't believe it. The Shang Kingdom is full of saints, and they are not moved by fame and fortune!"
"Yes." Prime Minister Fang Zheng immediately took the order and began to prepare.
…………
But at this time, the central part of Yingzhou was in chaos, real chaos, not war.
Since the destruction of Yang Kingdom, Zhengtian Alliance has begun to keep a low profile and is still the case. It seems that he is licking his wounds, waiting for the day to explode.
However, the State of Zhao began to flourish, especially with the arrival of the first batch of investments in the Shang Kingdom, as the first batch of factories began to break ground, and with the delivery of a large number of arms, Zhao began a vigorous... military expansion movement!
Needless to think, if Zhao did this, the surrounding countries would of course do this. For a time, military competition began between countries. As Zhao purchased arms from the Shang Kingdom, surrounding countries also bought arms from the Shang Kingdom.
Of course, the Shang Kingdom will not refuse this. We only recognize money, as long as we have money, everything is easy to say! This is the impression the Shang Kingdom has always given to others, but it is also the image deliberately created by the Shang Kingdom.
While arms competition occurred, countries in central Yingzhou also began to reform. However, one thing is that everyone's path of reform is different. Some countries completely learn from the development strategies of the Shang Kingdom, while others learn from the countries around the Shang Kingdom - this should be said to be relatively smart.
But there are still countries who directly seek the Shang Kingdom and ask the Shang Kingdom to help design the country's development path.
It sounds a bit ridiculous to ask other countries to design their own development path. However, it is OK here in the Shang Kingdom! The premise is that you are rich, and the national development path designed by the Shang Kingdom is definitely not a fool.
Of course, design is about design. If you really copy it, it will be too simple. You must change it slightly "according to the actual situation".
In addition, Shao State asked the Shang Kingdom to help design the national development strategy. Today, Shao State is very powerful. Xiangnan bullies Xing Kingdom, north to Wu Kingdom, and west to bully Cao Kingdom. Only the Shang Kingdom in the east dare not bully it.
Now that Cai State is revived, it occupied almost 70% of the land of Chen State in the former and reestablished the country. The current national development strategy used by Cai State was actually planned by the Shang Kingdom!
Although Cai State was almost destroyed, the culprits were the Shang Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom, even so, the general outline of the national development strategy used by Cai State was still designed by the Shang Kingdom back then.
In terms of business reputation, the Shang Kingdom is impeccable.
Of course, the reason why Cai State dared to confirm the recovery of the country is because the current war between the human race and the demon race, the Shang Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom have tilted almost all their military forces to the battlefield of the demon race, and they have no time to take care of it. Otherwise, the Cai State would never dare to restore the country.
In short, the situation in Yingzhou has undergone unprecedented changes. Natural disasters are part of it, and the demon clan is part of it, but the most dazzling one is the sudden rise of Shang Kingdom.
