have to!
Sister really doesn't need to be in a hurry, it's up to him to be anxious.
Failure to solve the problem and killing the person who raised the problem has always been the most common method in the workplace.
Not only had he encountered Equation in his previous life, he had also done it himself.
"The solution is very simple, just find Daming!"
"Looking for Daming?" The empress blinked.
The Ming Dynasty rose from Lianghuai and monopolized the entire territory of Yangzhou. It was nearly two hundred years since its founding. During this period, it conquered Xuzhou and attacked Jiaozhou. Together with the Dawu Dynasty, it blocked the Song people's access to the sea. It was the dynasty with the strongest comprehensive strength in Kyushu.
But this does not mean that the relationship between Dawu and Ming Dynasty is good. In the past two hundred years, the three kingdoms of Wu, Song, and Ming fought for the ownership of Xuzhou, and finally divided Xuzhou into three parts. None of the three parties completed their strategic layout. Where is Qiu Shen? !
At present, there is a severe drought in the Huaihe River and the Ming Dynasty itself is unstable. How can it help the Wu Dynasty?
"We, together with the Ming Dynasty, have blocked the Song Dynasty's outlet to the sea, and together with the Song Dynasty, we have blocked the source of the Ming Dynasty's war horses. The equal Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty have blocked the financial resources of the dynasty. There is no room for relaxation among the three parties. The three kingdoms will either be completely destroyed or be destroyed by others. Get a bargain!"
"But don't forget, in addition to Wu, Song, and Ming, there are still three kingdoms: Tang, Chu, and Liao. Tang is in Shu, and Chu is in Jingzhou. Both countries are in the upper reaches of the Ming Dynasty. The navy can attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty as soon as it moves, so don't look at it The Ming Dynasty dominates the six countries, but regardless of strategy or national security, the Ming Dynasty will not be the first to take action!"
"Compared to war and plunder, the Ming Dynasty has rich resources in the East China Sea and Southeast Asia. Time is on the side of the Ming Dynasty. A smooth transition is in line with the long-term interests of the Ming Dynasty!"
This world is vast, how big is Kyushu?
The equation was not clear yet. He only knew that the Wu Dynasty, which only occupied Qing, Hebei, and three states, spanned more than 9,000 miles from east to west, and had a population of more than 260 million registered in the Yellow Register. There may be 400 million people who have fled their households.
A country with such poor soil can support 400 million people. So how big the entire Kyushu is and how many people there are, it is mind-numbing to imagine.
"It is indeed possible to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, but even if there is any benefit, the Ming Dynasty will probably watch the Wu and Song dynasties fall into war!" the empress said in a deep voice.
Three hundred years of troubled times were preceded by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and followed by the trend of national interests.
The practice of killing you while you are sick has long been outdated, but don't add too much fuel to the situation.
Fang Fang said calmly, "That's true, but in the final analysis, the benefits are still not enough!"
"There is a large island outside the Bohai Sea called Jeju. This island is bounded by the Bohai Sea to the west, the Foot Basin to the north, and the East China Sea to the south. It is also the gateway to the three Koreas. Ming Dynasty and sea trade have been keeping an eye on it for a long time!"
"And the most important thing is that the climate and location of this island can be used to raise horses, military horses!"
Hearing this, the empress' eyes couldn't help but light up, "If this is really the case, then the benefits will be enough to shut up Akito!"
He knew about the existence of Jeju Island.
The Song people had been laying out their plans for many years, and their ambitions were easily unsatisfied. The Wu Dynasty was a traditional land power and had little strength at sea. It would not be a loss to let Jeju go while protecting the land.
As for the Ming Dynasty occupying Jeju Island, it would be unlucky for the three Koreas.
Unless the three Koreas are solved, the Ming people can't do anything in the north. It won't be too late to cause some trouble for the Ming Dynasty after the ambitions of the Song people are defeated.
"If we tell the Ming Dynasty again that the Wu Dynasty is willing to feign attack on the three Koreas from the border and support the Ming Dynasty in occupying the island, can we get the full support of the Ming Dynasty?"
"If this is really the case, as long as our soldiers and horses do not cross the Yellow River, the support of the Ming Dynasty will not be cut off!"
The empress looked excited.
I originally thought that conspiracy was difficult to defeat, and no matter how well prepared we were, we would have to pay some price in the coming year, but now it seems that the Song people's conspiracy was nothing more than this.
As long as the deal with the Ming people is concluded, it will be a shame to my brother if he doesn't beat the Song people until they cede territory and pay compensation next year.
After a brief excitement, the empress began to think about other things, "The Song people's plan should be more than this?"
Jeju Island was not the core interest of the Wu Dynasty, so the deal was just a deal.
Rather than having the trap exposed, the empress now wants to know more, what else did the Song people do?
"Of course it's more than that!"
Fang Fang nodded, "Economic war involves many aspects, but Wu Dynasty currently only needs to focus on craftsmen!"
Originally, he didn't want to say anything anymore. After all, his previous achievements were enough, but who made his sister speak?
"artisan?"
"The sea route was blocked, but the Song people's trade was still developed. It relied on the inheritance and accumulation of craftsmanship from generation to generation. The craftsmen's craftsmanship not only satisfied civilian use, but also involved military affairs. The Song people speculated on leather, in addition to meeting the economic and war layout. I also want to dig up the roots of the Wu Dynasty!"
"..."
Hearing this, the empress took a deep breath.
She thought that no matter how big the remaining issue was, it would not be as big as the deployment of troops next year, but she really didn't expect that the Song Dynasty people would still have such a plan.
The former is chopping meat with a dull knife, while the latter is bleeding with a small needle, and the intention is a bit too vicious.
"The people are driven by profit. If they want to live a good life, the people of Song Dynasty can take advantage of it, and so can the Wu Dynasty, and they can even fight back!"
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, farmers are the poorest and workers are the most miserable.
People in the Song Dynasty valued craftsmanship very highly, but the solidified system was destined to make it impossible to elevate the social status of craftsmen.
"If you have any good ideas, say them boldly!"
Many things are separated by just a piece of paper. If you don't point it out, it won't break it. If you point it out, it will make it clear. The empress may not be able to see enough, but she still has ambitions and means.
Since the prosperity of the Song Dynasty came from craftsmen, why couldn't the Wu Dynasty follow suit?
If she can really fight back, the empress believes that all the officials in the court will not mind starting something.
"It's very simple. The competition and the grand prize can be participated by craftsmen from all over the world. They are set from one to eight levels. The eighth level corresponds to the fifth grade, and the fourth level corresponds to the ninth grade. The rest will be given some money and food every month, and a little fame will be given for special contributions. It won't be much more. We can have a group of outstanding craftsmen in a year!" Fang Fang said quickly.
The Wu Dynasty set a precedent. Even if you can't eat everything, you can definitely take a bite of the fat first.
The implementation of this law in other countries still needs to be discussed, but for the impoverished Wu Dynasty, it can only let the ruling groups see the benefits, and they will do everything first. If the benefits are really realized, the opponents will jump to the counterattack immediately.
Without this decision-making power, the Wu Dynasty died early, and of course the Wu Dynasty also paid a lot of price for this.
"Where does the money come from?"
"You have people, are you still worried about not having money?" Fang Fang sneered, "Of course how to keep the money in the future, that is a matter for the future. If you still care about money now, the armament will be finished!"
“What to do with the cattle and sheep?”
"Continue to raise it, not only the Wu Dynasty must raise it, but also encourage the grassland people to raise it together. The people of Song Dynasty can use cattle and sheep to eat the warriors, and the warriors can also use the cattle and sheep to eat the world!"
"..."
Yes, what the people of the Song Dynasty could do, why couldn't the warriors do it?
And from a true point of view, the empress also hopes to continue raising herds. Not because she has no foresight, but because the current situation really makes it impossible to return herds to farming.
If she was short of food, she could eat people from the Song Dynasty, but if she forced her head to order her to retire, her position would be unstable.
"Can you really hold it in? Don't let it slip away?" the empress said with a chuckle.
"As long as the Hunjun listens to me, I can still handle this matter. Even if I don't listen, I'll be fine in the short term."
People are reluctant to move once they get used to it, and Equation is also such a person.
The Wu Dynasty was poor and its warriors were rough and arrogant, but its warriors were also down-to-earth. Even if they were unhappy with you, they would still fight you openly, as long as they were a little bit weak.
If Hunjun really wanted to treat him and his sister kindly, it wouldn't be a big deal if he helped to control an economic war involving sheep and people.
