The world is not a star.
After receiving the news, Song Mu was so shocked that he felt dazed for a moment, and his mind was even more confused.
Because in this way, it can explain a lot of things, why demons suddenly appeared everywhere, why there are so many hostility between the demon clans in Western and Eastern Xinjiang, and the human race sandwiched between them. Even with the literary and imperial examinations, Waiting for the big killer of cultivating talents, it still has a hard time surviving.
As the source of power under the magical conditions of this world, the sky star has also established the pattern of this world.
Is it because of this situation that Wen Chao can only be in such an embarrassing position?
Song Mu's mind was a bit shaken at the moment. He just felt that he couldn't deal with the situation in his mind for a while. He even thought that he was really too naive and that he really took some things for granted?
Li Ao looked at Song Mu's stunned expression. He just vented his anger slightly and waved away the hazy scene in front of him. The next moment, Song Mu's palace examination paper appeared in his hand.
After calming down this time, Li Ao took the paper and spoke to Song Mu.
"Song Aiqing, but this does not mean that there is no perfect path. The article you wrote did indeed touch the destiny and caused some turmoil in the demon country, so there may be something surprising in it."
Song Mu came back to his senses after hearing these words. He gathered his thoughts and carefully thought about all the things that had just happened. He raised his hands and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I understand. It's because I'm ignorant of world affairs and made random comments."
Li Ao shook his head at the moment, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. He seemed to know that Song Mu was too ashamed of what he had just talked about, so he immediately opened his mouth to explain.
"What I said is just to let you know the overall situation. Moreover, this shipping matter cannot be solved overnight."
"But I also said that Aiqing's article is indeed extraordinary, so I cannot miss this opportunity no matter what."
As he said this, Li Ao's eyes suddenly flashed, and he seemed to have his own opinions on this situation.
"I came to see you today, firstly, because I want to know the true meaning of this, and secondly, I want to think of a decent and appropriate way to do it."
"Then we will proceed step by step. Based on my plans with all the ministers, there may be something extraordinary in the future."
After hearing these words, Song Mu immediately felt admiration in his heart. Li Ao was worthy of being a king of the Wen Dynasty. His way of looking at problems was already very proficient, and he could still walk slowly after making up his mind.
It is in stark contrast to his eagerness for quick success just now.
However, Song Mu felt a little more relaxed at the moment. After all, it seemed that His Majesty still supported his remarks. In this way, his future ambitions were still feasible.
Song Mu nodded and thought deeply, thinking carefully about the contents, hoping to give himself a very reliable and beneficial start with this method.
Therefore, Song Mu no longer made comments without thinking as before. Instead, he pondered deeply and kept calculating in his heart.
When Li Ao saw Song Mu's expressions and movements, he also showed some appreciation in his expression.
This kind of talents who can check the holy meaning, and can immediately change and think deeply are what I really want.
Song Mu's previous words really made Li Ao feel bad. He felt that although Song Mu was a gentleman, he was a gentleman above the clouds. He only saw one side of things in the world, and it might be difficult for him to be dignified.
But now it seems that the current action may be that he was overly moved and blurted out. After careful consideration, he may have a different answer.
Being able to guide a talent back on track, Li Ao appreciated this very much. He sat down again and drank tea, then quietly waited for Song Mu to finish thinking.
After a long time, just when Li Ao was about to ask Song Mu to go back and think carefully for a few days before answering, Li Ao suddenly saw Song Mu step forward and hold hands with him.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if this method can be put to good use?"
Li Ao immediately cheered up, his eyes filled with hope again.
Song Mu looked at his Zhang Ce theory paper on the table, and this time he pointed at it and said to Li Ao.
"Your Majesty has also seen this article. It states that the Yan people are suffering. I thought it would be better to start with the Yan people."
"Oh? How do you say it?"
Li Ao was a little confused about this, but motioned to Song Mu to continue.
"The suffering of the salt people is that they have no farming and no weaving, and they only make money by boiling salt. However, the monopoly on salt and iron in our dynasty is a policy of governing the country. We cannot disobey it, so we can only make a fuss about the food and clothing of the salt people."
Li Ao frowned and said in a deep voice.
"There is no fertile land left along the coast. Moreover, sea salt is what our Wen Dynasty needs and must not be cut off."
Song Mu quickly handed over his hand.
"Then His Majesty may allow him to go fishing in the sea and dive into the sea to retrieve pearls."
"Except for the amount required for boiling salt, he can sell what he gets from the sea by himself, and all the profits will belong to the people."
Hearing this, Li Ao felt that he heard something different, and his expression was slightly raised.
"Nowadays, in the shallow sea, there are people who make a living by fishing, but where it meets the deep sea, the people are frightened by the monsters and dare not cross over rashly. But as far as I know, as long as they don't go into the sea with boats, they are almost afraid of fishing. nothing."
"Many salt people are desperate. If the government can support fishing boats to go to sea this time, they will definitely go there."
There was danger in Song Mu's remarks. Although Li Ao frowned slightly, he seemed to accept this opinion.
But at the moment, he still asked Song Mu with some confusion.
"But is this really possible?"
"I don't dare to speak nonsense. Your Majesty still needs to discuss it with all your lords before making a decision. But what I said is only the first step."
Song Mu felt a little more confident at the moment and said calmly.
"The so-called rare treasures found in the sea are also extraordinary. If they can be profitable, people will be willing to go to the sea to look for them."
"This seafood incident is the first step for our people to invade the sea territory."
"If the monster clan is raging in the meantime, we will take some measures to restrain the people, and frankly admit that the people's desires are difficult to overcome. We will also severely punish the monsters that harm the people for no reason. If the monster clan is tired for a long time, if they have no intention to fight, they will I have no choice but to let it go.”
Having said this, Song Mu looked up at Li Ao and then spoke.
"In this case, we can also train the navy of Wen Dynasty to fight at sea. As long as we can scare monsters in shallow seas everywhere, the sea transportation will be smooth."
At that moment, Li Ao looked at Song Mu, seeming to have some thoughts in his heart.
"Such an action, if the demon clan intercepts and kills countless people, it will definitely stop all the people. In addition, now that the palace examination is about to happen, the whole world is aware of it. If the demon clan finds out about this plan from now on, maybe it will fail?"
When Song Mu heard this, he immediately thought about it for a moment, and then said something to Li Ao in a deep voice.
"This matter is too trivial for me to consider, but now, there is another way to take risks."
"Your Majesty, what would happen if we widely publicized the news that we were about to obtain an article that touched the destiny, but did not say what the content was?"
After hearing this, Li Ao immediately raised his eyes, and his expression was already a bit excited at this moment.
Li Ao also thought about this method that Song Mu mentioned, but when he thought about it again, he had a different feeling.
Although there have been changes, the Wen Dynasty has mobilized troops and horses everywhere, so the demon clan must have doubts and concerns.
As for the matter of the Yan people, it can be regarded as His Majesty's consideration for the people's sentiments, and everything goes as planned.
At that time, we will make so-called changes in other places...
Li Ao stood up immediately, and there seemed to be some appreciation on his face at this moment, but Song Mu looked at Li Ao seriously again, raised his hands and said.
"The so-called salt people are just a temporary solution, but if you want it to last, Your Majesty has to let the demon clan know some of these things."
"As for the so-called development of maritime transport to relieve the worries of water transport, Weichen thinks it will be a good excuse."
Li Ao's expression was already somewhat surprised when he heard this.
He originally thought that Song Mu had finished what he said. Although it had shortcomings, it was still remarkable. However, he did not expect that Song Mu would have such a layer of emptiness and reality.
The Yao clan must be clear about water transportation, and they must have some conclusions about what they do on the sea, but they don't know that what Wen Dynasty needs is sea power.
"So, is there really a plan for this future sea power matter?"
Li Ao asked again.
Song Mu's eyes flickered a little, and he just said something softly.
"Your Majesty has planted a seed for the ages. It is a foregone conclusion that when he goes to sea, who can know that the demon clan of the East China Sea will be powerful forever? And in the future Wen Dynasty, who can know that the boats driven by mortals will not be able to survive forever? Killing monsters in the sea?"
Li Ao looked at Song Mu intently. At this moment, his mind was a little confused, and he felt that Song Mu seemed to have a unique temperament at this moment.
