I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 69 The Threat from Zhou Kingdom

"They're all from Zhou Guo's Dongjiu Factory."

Dongji Incident Factory is Zhou Guo's spy organization, directly commanded by Emperor Zhou, in charge of guards, arrests, and prisons.

Fang Xiu frowned slightly, and said coldly: "So, behind this matter is the Emperor Zhou who is manipulating it!"

Daji snuggled into his arms and replied, "Haitang also said so."

"Recently, she has been busy cleaning up the eyeliners buried in Chang'an by various countries, and she has no time to meet her master, so she asked her to tell her that Emperor Zhou has been hoarding soldiers and horses at the border, with evil intentions, and the master must be careful."

A year ago, Emperor Zhou brazenly launched a war, with the Huben Army as the vanguard, invading Daqian.

The imperial court was unable to deal with it, so it could only sign an agreement, pay 300 million taels of silver, and cede most of the land in Yongzhou. Even so, the Emperor Zhou did not agree, and finally compromised under the pressure of hundreds of officials.

The wolf's ambition is obvious!
Fang Xiu has always been clear.

He will not be satisfied with one state, and will invade one day.

However, according to the information provided by Haitang, Da Zhou is carrying out the New Deal, the scholar-bureaucrat class resisted fiercely, and there were many internal conflicts.

Even if Emperor Zhou wanted to start a war, it shouldn't be at this time.
"If the state of Zhou invades, it's really hard to deal with..."

Fang Xiu frowned slightly, and began to compare the strengths of the two countries.

Zhou Guo's military strength is strong, and there is no external aggression.

If Emperor Zhou is determined to launch a war, unless the flintlock guns and Franco cannons can be mass-produced in advance to equip the new army, Qianguo will not be able to stop it.

Limited by metallurgical technology and productivity, mass production in advance is not realistic.

If you want to resist Zhou Guo, you can only use the power of the system.

"It's really not possible, lock the little empress in Xiangguo's mansion, and I will fight in person, whipping every day."

"Use the obtained emotional value to exchange for the corps."

"The [-] Xuanjia Cavalry should be able to compete with the Tiger Army of the Great Zhou!"

This idea appeared in Fang Xiu's mind, but was quickly rejected by him.

Human mood swings have limits.

If the matter is really done, the empress will be more sad than heartbroken, and it will be difficult to obtain emotional points in the future.

It is not advisable to fish in a dry marsh.

A long flow of water is the right way.

Besides.

There is another reason.

The human heart is fleshy.

During this period of time, the little empress obviously had feelings for him other than a monarch and a minister.

Fang Xiu couldn't bear to let her face such a sudden change.

In case it breaks.

That tsundere little empress would never come back.

Fang Xiu thought so.

Suddenly, the butler's voice came from not far away.

"Master, there are people from the palace, saying that His Majesty wants to see you."

"understood."

After the butler bowed and took his leave.

Fang Xiu looked at the charming little face in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead.

"The truth has entered the palace first."

A blush appeared on Daji's fair face, she lowered her head and hummed softly.

After half an hour.

Fang Xiu, who was wearing a gold-rimmed scarlet robe, came in front of the little empress.

"Chen Fangxiu, see Your Majesty!"

on the dragon chair.

Wu Mingkong raised his eyes and took a look, handed the memorial in his hand to Lin Wan'er, and said, "Show it to Prime Minister Fang."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Holding the memorial, Lin Wan'er came to Fang Xiu and presented it with both hands.

Fang Xiu reached out to take the memorial, opened it, and browsed from top to bottom.

The memorial was submitted by the governor of Yongzhou, mainly talking about Zhou Guo suddenly hoarding a large amount of soldiers, horses, food and grass on the border of Yongzhou, asking His Majesty how to deal with it.

"What does Fang Xiang think about this matter?"

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu in front of him with beautiful eyes, his tone was flat.

Fang Xiu closed the memorial and said, "I think that since Emperor Zhou implemented the new policy last year, there have been constant internal conflicts in the state of Zhou. In a short period of time, Emperor Zhou has no reason or energy to start another war."

He made such a judgment based on common sense.

But Emperor Zhou has always been insane and doesn't act according to common sense.

Less than a year after ascending the throne, he tore up the covenant with the Qian Kingdom and invaded brazenly.

Baiguan appealed, signed an armistice agreement under pressure, turned around and pointed the finger at Baiguan.

In less than a year, new policies such as the Recruitment Law, the Baojia Law, and the Fangtian Average Tax Law were implemented successively.

Standing against the scholar-bureaucrat class.

Any emperor with a normal mind, even if he wanted to make some achievements, would not be so eager for quick success.

therefore.

Fang Xiu added: "However, Emperor Zhou is crazy and has never acted according to common sense. Even if I judge that he will not start a war for the time being, the Ministry of War should prepare in advance and deploy more troops in Yongzhou."

Although Zhechong Mansion's army doesn't have much combat power, it can still play a role if it is there.

Even tens of thousands of pigs can be used as a buffer on the road.

When the little empress heard Fang Xiu's analysis, she felt a little happy, and said, "I think so too."

"."

Fang Xiu was speechless.

The little empress said again: "There is one more thing, the Drunken Flower Pavilion in the Zhou Kingdom presented a set of glazed cups for the recipe of monosodium glutamate and refined salt, but I did not agree.

I think they won't give up easily. After you go back, tell the people in Zhenbaozhai to be more careful, keep the formula well, and don't let others steal it. "

Hearing this, Fang Xiu thought for a while, looked at the Empress, and said calmly, "Your Majesty is working with the teaching minister?"

The little empress: "."

[Emotion value +2000]

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu angrily, and said angrily, "I am the king and you are the minister, why can't I teach you how to do things!"

Fang Xiudao: "The minister is the Minister of Fuguo, and is your majesty's chancellor. Has your majesty ever seen his daughter teach his father how to do things?"

"You!"

Wu Ming's face turned red, he pointed at Fang Xiu, and was speechless for a long time.

The traitor!
He even compared himself to a father and me to a daughter.

It's crazy!
Does he still think that one day, I will call him Dad!
Think of this.

Wu Mingkong was even more annoyed, and it took him a while to calm down. He said angrily, "I don't have the same knowledge as you!"

Fang Xiudao: "Your Majesty has still owed the minister to the father, and it has been delayed until now. It must be that the minister is not as knowledgeable as His Majesty."

[Emotion value +1000]

As soon as these words came out, Wu Mingkong lost his mind all of a sudden.

Anyway, she did promise to call the traitor a father.

It's not a problem to keep procrastinating like this.

Otherwise, every time there was a quarrel, the traitor would use this as an argument, but she couldn't refute it.

If it really doesn’t work, wait a while and find an opportunity to call him.
Think of this.

A blush appeared on Wu Mingbai's fair face, and he pretended to be indifferent and said: "I promise you, next time."

Fang Xiu glanced at her and asked, "Which time is next time?"

Wu Mingkong gritted his teeth, and finally made a decision, blushing, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "Mid-Autumn Festival at the latest."

Fang Xiu frowned, and said: "Your Majesty's voice is too soft, I didn't hear it."

[Emotion value +1000]

Wu Mingkong glared at him, and said angrily, "Aside from bullying me all day long, what else do you do?"

"I can earn money, control food prices, grow sweet potatoes, train new troops, and make fireworks."

Fang Xiu said a lot in one breath.

The little empress was speechless after hearing this.

It took a long time before she blushed and raised her voice:
"No later than the Mid-Autumn Festival, we must fulfill our promise!"

Got an affirmative answer.

Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face, and asked: "Is there anything else, Your Majesty? If not, I will leave first."

He just arrived and is about to leave. Why is this traitor so busy!

It's not that the golden house hid Meijiao Niang, and she was in a hurry to go back to keep her tender
For some reason, Wu Mingkong always felt that time passed quickly when he was with Fang Xiu.

She thought about it, and said:

"I have something else to ask you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Wu Mingkong hesitated for a moment and asked:

"What do you think will be the effect of Zhou Guo's New Deal if I put it into practice?"
