Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 461 Lucky Star
"Father, my son thinks that rejuvenation of the country does not necessarily depend on war. On the premise of not fearing foreign enemies, making Great Xia stronger and making the people more well-fed, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

"If it's true what Master Zuo said, if you give up other things at this time and focus on fighting the fierce mercenaries, victory is victory, and the price paid by Daxia will not be able to make up for it in three or five years?"

"Master Zuo, don't tell me that food can be planted again, and the new law can be implemented again. I just ask, how do you think we can compensate those people who have been displaced by the war and their families have been destroyed?"

Zuo Yushi was so stunned that he was speechless, but the emperor was very touched, he turned his head and asked.

"Prince, what do you think?"

The prince withdrew the resentful eyes that fell on Rong Yan, took a deep breath and said: "My minister thinks what the third brother said is too idealistic, who can guarantee that Jihu will wait for Daxia to prepare?"

"If they take advantage of Daxia's farming development and attack, they will lose the opportunity and the people will suffer even more?"

Rong Yan smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness seems to have no confidence in our Great Xia soldiers?"

The prince's face froze: "Gu naturally knows that my soldiers in the Xia Dynasty are brave, but the world is unpredictable, and it is better to be prepared than to be controlled by others. Since there will be a battle sooner or later, delay is just an escape."

The moment he finished speaking, the prince felt as if he saw a look of "disappointment" on the emperor's face.

Sure enough, Prime Minister Yan came to him and said in private: "Today, the prince made a slip of the tongue."

The prince refused to accept, but Yan Xiang said: "You have found the wrong point."

"Your royal father cares more about the people."

The prince disagreed, seeing no one around, he said directly: "Father was the emperor who won the throne by mobilizing troops, didn't there be countless casualties at that time?"

At this moment, Yan Xiang began to doubt whether the prince had been too smooth all these years.

"Do you know why your father sent troops to force the palace?"

The prince took it for granted, "To seize the throne."

Yan Xiang sighed: "At that time, the Nanman soldiers came to the city, and the first emperor was seriously ill and unable to manage government affairs, but he had not yet established a crown prince. The several princes refused to give in to each other. They paid more attention to fighting for the throne than fighting against foreign enemies. Your father only knew that the Nanman was approaching the capital The broken imperial city."

The prince didn't think so, Yan Xiang persuaded him a few words and saw that it didn't work, so he had to give up.

After returning to the mansion, the staff hesitated and asked: "Master Xiang, do you still need someone to persuade Your Highness?"

Yan Xiang thought about it all the way, and now he came to a conclusion: "Forget it, after all, the world is in the prince's pocket, and now the third prince is tossing around, and it's just making a wedding dress for the prince."

"Military and military, the ancients have warned, let those ministers change their words to support the third prince tomorrow."

Ye Xing's siding with the prince was too obvious, which aroused the emperor's fear.

The aide asked: "Then... if the crown prince is right, what should we do if the fierce Hu is treacherous?"

Yan Xiang glanced at him: "That's something His Highness should worry about."

The implication is that to promote farming, if it is done right, it will be a contribution to the future of the prince, if it is wrong, then Rong Yan will take the responsibility, so there is no need for them to worry about it.

The abacus was well calculated, but what they didn't expect was that Rong Yan presented another book to the emperor before the fisherman's profit was reaped. The title of the book was "Outline of Ironmaking".

Of course, this book was also exchanged by Xiaoxiao from the space. Now Daxia iron mines are rich in reserves. As long as the imperial court can implement this method of smelting, with the rich output of those two iron mines, not to mention a year, two years later, who will Don't even try to shake Daxia's national prestige.

"Father, you gave this book to Xiaoxiao. She saw the detailed records in the book, and it made sense, so she tried to find someone to practice a sword."

The daughter of the Xiao family loves to read, so the emperor gave her some books from the warehouse from time to time. According to records, this book was obtained by Xiao Ran from suppressing bandits, and it was of no use in the warehouse for a long time. Unexpectedly, when it was in the hands of the daughter of the Xiao family, it would be Baby again.

Seeing that Rong Yan broke dozens of swords one after another with the newly forged weapons, the emperor was overjoyed and called out to God Bless Da Xia, and immediately handed over the responsibility of chief iron smelting to Rong Yan.

The prince couldn't sit still.

He is a stable prince, but he has made little achievements. Except for the trip to the dam a few years ago, which can only be regarded as "remedy after the event", he seems to have done nothing worthy of praise. On the other hand, Rong Yan has won a lot of awards recently. The emperor approved, after getting this iron smelting job, wouldn't he be more valued and loved by the army?
If he raises his arms one day...

The more the prince thought about it, the more worried he became, and he couldn't sleep well for several nights. What made him even more troubled was that soon after, it was rumored that the daughter of the Xiao family was the lucky star of Daxia. The rice seeds were actually the first ones brought out by the daughter of the Xiao family.

Knowing this, Xiaoxiao pursed her mouth and took away the snacks that she was going to give to Shen Congyun. Master Shen widened her eyes: "My senior brother asked me to do this!"

Chen Yong, who was a little thinner than before, slapped him on the forehead: "For a bite, you even sell your brother?"

Mr. Shen smiled on the surface: "You spit out the biscuit in your mouth before you say that!"

Master Chen was unmoved, chewed and swallowed.

Then he said: "Miss Xiao, be safe and don't be impatient, in fact..."

"Actually, it was the teacher's idea," he said.

Xiaoxiao looked at them like a fool, but it turned out to be the case.

What Dean Lu meant was that Mu Xiuyu would be destroyed by Lin Feng. Although he knew that what Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan did was not for fame and fortune, but in the eyes of some caring people, what they did for the people must have changed their taste.

If you want to continue to seek welfare for the people, you must first have enough confidence.

Besides, Dean Lu said: "If Congyun really wants to take your credit all the time, he will feel uneasy."

Well, anyway, she is not afraid now, and if she has more confidence, the little brother will be more helpful.

After all, with his current momentum, it is only a matter of time before the prince fears him. No, perhaps it should be said that the prince has long regarded him as a thorn in his side.

That night, Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan talked about it openly, and Rong Yan didn't intend to hide it.

"I don't think the crown prince will be a wise king, especially when Nanman and Jihu are still eyeing each other."

"Xiaoxiao, if I wanted to compete with him, would you think I'm just like him, hypocritical and profit-seeking?"

Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Coincidentally, I also don't think he will be a good emperor."

How can a person who is able to collude with foreigners for personal gain and disregard the life and death of the common people lead Daxia to peace?
Besides, as far as the crown prince's mind is not much bigger than the tip of a needle, if he is the emperor, will he let Rong Yan go?
Rong Yan said: "Actually, I think the rumors in the market are correct, you are indeed Daxia's lucky star."

"It's mine too."

Xiaoxiao was a little shy, but she felt that Rong Yan was right.
