Chapter 285: Cow and Earth(1/2)

Emperor Cao Cao of Wei was a talented and wise monarch. Under his rule, the Wei State was governed in an orderly manner, with a peaceful and peaceful country. He also had all the common problems of emperors, that is, he wanted to expand territory.

At first, Cao Cao's goal was Shu Kingdom in the west. There was a hatred inherited by his ancestors between the two countries. If it could not be resolved, either you die or I live, and I could not urinate in a pot.

Therefore, Wei and Shu in the west have been fighting for years, and Shu is also strong in the army and horses. The two countries are evenly matched, and no one can do anything to each other.

There was no way, Emperor Wei's goal slowly shifted to the Great Sui Dynasty.

The four countries were established together, and the economic and military strength of the Great Sui Dynasty were the weakest among the four countries. If it weren't for the Yangtze River between the Wei State and the Great Sui Dynasty, this natural danger would have blocked the troops of Wei State, then the Wei State would have long since led its troops north.

Cao Cao could not conquer Shu for a long time, so he decided to take over the Great Sui Dynasty and achieve hegemony. Therefore, over the years, he has been ordering people to build ships and prepare to cross the river.

Emperor Sui knew Cao Cao's ambitions, so he naturally had a solution to it, which made the Hou Pingbo station troops to guard the army, and at the same time he was very angry.

At this time, Emperor Sui thought of the situation in the Sui Dynasty, so he tried Yang Shuang on a whim and looked at his strategy.

Faced with this problem, Yang Shuang did not talk empty talk, but was preparing to say some constructive opinions: "Father, Emperor Wei was eyeing the Great Sui Dynasty and always wanted to cross the river to invade. In the final analysis, it was because our Great Sui Dynasty had weak military strength and the development of the navy was always weak. In recent years, the Marquis of Pingbo stationed troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River and formed a navy, but the ships used were weaker than those of the Wei State. Moreover, the Great Sui Dynasty navy had problems in its concept. They always focused on defense and believed that the Wei army could not be defeated. Before they even fought, the morale of the army had fallen into a inferior position."

"So I think that if you want not to be bullied, your fist must be harder than the enemy. When the enemy takes action, teach the other party hard, break his legs and his hands, and he naturally dare not attack, but instead retreat. At that time, we will take advantage of the victory and let them steal chickens and lose rice!"

Emperor Sui smiled and said, "Everyone understands the truth you said. A hard fist is the hard truth. If it can be as simple as it is said, that would be great!"

It can be said that it may not be possible. The Sui Emperor has a far-sighted vision and has long wanted to supervise an elite naval army. In this way, he can defend against neighboring countries and annihilate the attacks of enemy countries. However, his vision and technology have affected productivity. Over the years, the warship technology of the Great Sui Dynasty was weaker than that of the Wei State, and the combat effectiveness of the navy was also weaker than that of the other side.

In fact, the Great Sui and Wei often had frictions on the Yangtze River. The Wei often invaded and even sent troops to sneak into the Great Sui territory, disguised as thieves, burning, killing and looting. It can be said that the confrontations between the two countries emerged one after another, but they had not yet risen to national wars. Such frictions were mostly dominated by the defeat of the Great Sui.

Yang Shuang understood the meaning of Emperor Sui and continued: "Father, since his level is not as good as others, then we should develop vigorously. The battle against the river depends on warships. Whoever has a tall and strong warship will be invincible. Therefore, the son-in-law suggests that we recruit talents, build new warships, and invent powerful weapons that the enemy has without us."

"I don't understand the truth you said? For example, everyone understands the brave cavalry of the Turks, but it's not easy to make their cavalry like them? In just a few years, the national treasury has been filled. If it were before, how could there be so much money to build large warships!" Emperor Sui sighed.

Yang Shuang changed her mind and immediately asked: "Father, how is the revenue of the treasury this year?"

"It's more than in previous years, but the expenses are also greater. After removal, there is not much left!" Emperor Sui replied.

Yang Shuang asked again: "Where is the treasury of the father's emperor?"

"Hehe..." Unexpectedly, Emperor Sui laughed out loud, browsing and even happy.

Looking at this expression, you will know that the revenue of the treasury is very gratifying. Purified liquor, purified fine salt, soap, etc. are all controlled by His Majesty. It is similar to state-owned, and the money earned has entered the treasury.

"Thanks to the emperor!" Emperor Sui praised, but did not say the specific amount.

Yang Shuang did not ask how much money the Sui Emperor made, nor was he too lazy to share his pie. Instead, he continued to talk back to the warship: "Father, since the liquor business is becoming more and more profitable, the profit will be greater next year, why not spend some of the money to build a new warship? If it is consumed, there will be no result, always weaker than others, and controlled by others. Money is something outside of the body. Protecting national security is more meaningful than money."

Emperor Sui was stunned. He didn't expect to be educated by his son, but he understood that his son was talking about the hard truth. No matter how much money the treasury was in the treasury, what's the use if he couldn't stop the invasion of Wei?

Now that you make money, you should use it on the blade.

"What you said makes sense. I am not reluctant to take money, but I am just afraid that the money will be taken out and I will not be able to achieve success!" Emperor Sui sighed.

Yang Shuang smiled and recommended herself: "Father, my son-in-law thinks he can do it!"

"You?" Emperor Sui glared.

Yang Shuang nodded and said solemnly: "The father did not believe it before, which is understandable, but the son-in-law gave papermaking, printing and newspapers to the father. Does the father still believe in the ability of the son-in-law?"

"Do you know how to build ships?" Emperor Sui said suspiciously.

Yang Shuang quickly responded: "Of course I understand, and I know a lot. No one in the Sui Dynasty understands better than me. My sons dare not deceive my father, nor dare to lie. So why not let me try it, my sons can definitely create powerful warships and weapons!"

Emperor Sui fell into silence, thinking that Yang Shuang was bragging, and that Yang Shuang was not talking nonsense.

After a while, Emperor Sui said, "Let's discuss this matter later, don't worry..."

Yang Shuang did not continue to ask questions.

Then, Emperor Sui let Yang Shuang out of the palace and asked him to go back and take a good rest.

After Yang Shuang returned to the Ming Palace, she asked Han Qinhu, Zhang Xutuo and others to go home to rest.

In the evening, Yang Yong and Yang Guang came to hear the news. Yang Shuang held a banquet to entertain the two kings. They chatted until late at night before the two kings left.

After taking a shower, Yang Shuang returned to the bedroom and hugged the princess to do nighttime exercises. After all, she was a little unfamiliar with her skills and she had to get it back as soon as possible.

The next day, Yang Shuang slept until midnight before getting up, and found that Li Bo and Li Ruoruo had arrived at the palace.

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Li Bo became mature, and his experience in doing business allowed him to learn a lot. His sister Li Ruoru still looked intellectual and calm, but after seeing Yang Shuang, she had joy in her eyes, which showed her inner longing.

During the period when Yang Shuang went out, Li Ruoru often came to the royal palace to accompany Zhuge Liuli. The two girls were already like sisters. Zhuge Liuli mentioned their marriage last night, and Yang Shuang felt that she could not delay it anymore. She planned to ask her father for marriage in a few days to marry Li Ruoru.

As for this matter, we naturally have to tell Li Ruoruo about it. After hearing this, Li Ruoruo was ashamed of the ground as red as the sunset, and was so beautiful that he finally didn't even eat lunch, so he pulled Li Bo away shyly.

After another day of rest, on the third day of returning to Kyoto, Yang Shuang went to the Mingguang Hou Mansion for a walk. After all, he took Qin Xianzhi away and left him in Chang'an. He had to tell his mother about this.

However, in the Mingguang Hou Mansion, Yang Shuang did not see Qin Xianyu.

I haven't seen her for half a year, and I miss Qin Xianyu very much, thinking about finding time to see her.

Then, Yang Shuang went to Li's mansion again, met Li Dongxu, and finalized her marriage with Li Ruoruo.

In the next few days, Yang Shuang went to Gao Mansion, met Gao Bing, went to Shi Mansion, met Wansui, etc. He visited some important powerful people, all of whom were close to Yang Shuang.

Before I knew it, it has been five days since I returned to Kyoto.

It was raining today, and the rain was still quite heavy, and it kept coming down. Yang Shuang hid it from everyone and asked Han Qinhu to drive the car and quietly came to the back door of the Qin Palace.

Qin Xianyu, who had already received the news, had already asked his confidant maid to transfer the servants near the back door, so after Yang Shuang arrived, she was not worried about her identity leak.

Following the maid to a courtyard, the maid invited Yang Shuang to the front of the door and then retreated obediently.

Yang Shuang pushed the door open and saw an exquisite beauty sitting in the room, as beautiful as a fairy, exuding a fairy spirit.

Qin Xianyu was making tea. After hearing the sound of pushing the door, he raised his head and saw Yang Shuang with a burning gaze.

Seeing his eager gaze, it seemed like a vortex that could swallow himself, and with aggressiveness, it seemed that he would peel off his clothes, making Qin Xianyu's delicate body tightened slightly.

Yang Shuang walked straight over, knelt across from her, looked at her delicate hands fiddling with the teacup, and quickly reached out to hold it, and smiled and said, "Xianyu, I haven't seen you for many days, you've lost weight."

The jade hand was held, and a sudden feeling of hotness made Qin Xianyu feel panic. He didn't dare to look up at Yang Shuang and whisper: "Where have you become thinner? No!"

Yang Shuang's tone was firm: "I must have lost weight. Come on, let me touch you!"

After saying that, amid Qin Xianyu's screams, he directly pulled her into his arms, and then covered her with big hands.

Qin Xianyu bit his lips lightly, his eyes were blurred, and he didn't dare to speak, allowing Yang Shuang to make trouble.

"I've lost weight here..."

“I’ve lost weight here too…”

Yang Shuang knew everything about her, and changed the size of Qin Xianyu one by one.

After Yang Shuang finished checking, Qin Xianyu could no longer move.

In this situation, I am no longer a man when chatting!

So Yang Shuang picked her up and walked into the bedroom.

Most of the hour later, the clouds and rains have just stopped.

"The first time I saw you so proactive!" Yang Shuang quipped.

Qin Xianyu blushed and snorted: "I've left for so long without a sound, are you willing to come back?"

"I'll be plagued by things, otherwise I'd been back a long time ago. How could I bear to stay away from you for too long?" Yang Shuang said.

Qin Xianyu did not continue to get involved in this topic, but asked: "I won't go out when I come back this time!"

"Well, it should be." Yang Shuang nodded, "But it depends on what His Majesty meant."

Qin Xianyu heard Yang Shuang's unexpected words and understood that he might have to leave Kyoto, so he hugged him and asked, "The position of prince has not been established for a long time, and it is never safe. This time you have been away from Beijing for half a year, and many officials in the court have made suggestions. I hope Your Majesty will appoint the prince as soon as possible!"

Yang Shuang smiled and said, "After Yang Jun and Yang Chao had an accident, there were only five princes left. Yang Liang and Yang Xiu were deposed. Your Majesty would not make these two princes the prince. The rest are Yang Yong and Yang Guang. The three of us are brothers. Whoever is appointed as the prince is difficult for Your Majesty to make a decision. They cannot be chosen by officials' advice, so don't worry. What's more, is it safe to establish a prince? Don't forget, I am deposed!"

For Yang Shuang, he did not value the position of the crown prince. Throughout history, how many emperors have succeeded to the throne from the crown prince? The position of the crown prince is the target of public criticism, and it is better to hold military power in person.

So instead of staying in Kyoto for the position of crown prince, it is better to go out to seize military power.

A few days ago in the palace, Yang Shuang recommended herself, hoping that Emperor Sui would agree to let herself develop warships. This was another way for Yang Shuang to capture military power.

Shipbuilding must not be outside Kyoto. The best place is the large shipyard in the south. There, Yang Shuang can not only build advanced warships in her mind, but also develop weapons that shock the world.

Yang Shuang wanted to unify the world and defeat the powerful Tang Dynasty, Wei and Shu Kingdoms, it was absolutely not enough to rely solely on the existing military generals of the Sui Dynasty. Although Li Jing, Han Qinhu, and Luo Cheng were strong, they could not defeat four hands with two fists. Look at the camp of civil and military generals of the enemy country, Zhuge Liang, Xu Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Five Tiger Generals, Five Sons and Good Generals, Li Ji, Yuchi Gong, etc.

Compared with them, the current Great Sui army is indeed weaker.

But it doesn't matter. As long as Yang Shuang is given time, he can create weapons that crush other countries. When fighting, it depends on his brain. The brain here is not only about placing troops, but also about the use of weapons.

"You have the ambition to soar to the sky, and you will not stay here. But I just hope you can be safe and sound." Qin Xianyu hugged Yang Shuang and said solemnly.

Yang Shuang nodded and fought again as she turned over.

It was not until the two were so tired that they ended the battle. Then they had been warm for a long time before they got up and dressed and enjoyed the rain outside the window together.

Originally, Yang Shuang didn't want to stay overnight, but looking at Qin Xianyu's little resentment, how could Yang Shuang pat her butt and leave? Wouldn't that be so ruthless?

At night, it was once again interpreted that there were only exhausted cows and no broken land.

Faced with Qin Xianyu's enthusiasm, Yang Shuang could not say that it was impossible.

.........

The next day, Yang Shuang returned to the Ming Palace.

"By the way, forget her!" Yang Shuang remembered someone and immediately walked to a house in the corner of the royal palace, where there were guards and guards, and they were heavily guarded.
