Chapter 199 The show begins, two brothers sing a double act

I thought that I needed to cultivate it myself, but I didn't expect that Yao Guangxiao gave me a surprise.

Being proficient in both materials saved me a lot of trouble.

"Your Highness, this Iron Smelting Department is..."

Yao Guangxiao looked at Xiao Han and asked hesitantly.

"The prince and I jointly built a hydraulic blast furnace in the west for iron smelting. You should have seen the actions of the Ministry of Engineering a few days ago."

Xiao Han said.

There is nothing hidden in the actions of the Ministry of Works, they are all carried out with great fanfare.

The people in Jinling City can clearly see the actions of the Ministry of Industry, but they don't know exactly what the court wants to do. Yao Guangxiao naturally knows these things, and he can even roughly know the court's purpose.

"That's right, we plan to build an iron factory, using the Ming Dynasty's iron-making method."

"According to your explanation, it is through the blast furnace and using fire to control air to achieve the purpose of purifying steel. This blast furnace iron plant is very important. The prince and I decided to choose someone who understands both ironmaking and economics to manage it."

"And this Ironmaking Department is the yamen we decided to set up. After that, the imperial court will set up more ironworks, and the Ironmaking Department will be unified to manage them."

"Originally, I wanted to cultivate a talent myself, but unexpectedly, you, Monk Daoyan, gave me a big surprise."

"Very good, very good."

"When you go to the Ironmaking Department, you have to work hard so that our Ming Dynasty can have more steel than we can use up. Don't embarrass me."

Xiao Han patted Yao Guangxiao's shoulder and said.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation."

Yao Guangxiao looked surprised and bowed to Xiao Han.

It is true that Yao Guangxiao has great talents, but if he wants to be in a high position, he must first have sufficient political achievements.

The Iron Smelting Division was undoubtedly a solid and inexplicable pedal that Xiao Han sent to his feet.

As long as Yao Guangxiao does a good job here and makes the Ironmaking Division bigger and stronger, then the Ming Dynasty will open iron factories everywhere, and the headquarters of the Ironmaking Division will be moved back to Jinling City.

By then, Yao Guangxiao would be one of the most powerful court officials in Yingtian Mansion, and he would be truly qualified to go to court and participate in politics.

It sounds like going to court is nothing special, but in fact most of the courtiers are just filling in. They either remain a little transparent or go to the front for the real bosses, without any chance to put forward their own opinions.

To be honest, such a person's status is not low outside, and he does not have a simple role.

Sometimes, these people seem ignorant and stupid, and that's because often speaking out is to speak for the camp, and it has to be that way.

After all, even if it is a large family, the number of courtiers each family can be allocated is limited, and they will definitely not really send a wine bag and meal bag that cannot bring any benefits to the family.

And when you have the qualifications to truly put forward opinions and express your own attitude, then you are a real courtier, participating in political discussions, and can put forward your views.

"This is the position your abilities deserve."

"You are qualified for this kind of position, but don't be careless. Although your theoretical understanding is already very good, theory and practice are two different things after all."

"In any case, what you see on paper is ultimately shallow. I know that this matter needs to be carried out. I believe that with your wisdom, Yao Guangxiao, you should know what to do."

Xiao Han spoke calmly.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me. Your Majesty will know."

Yao Guangxiao saluted Xiao Han.

The next day.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you to discuss matters in the East Palace."

Early in the morning, Xiao Han had just washed and changed clothes when Zoey ran over and said to Xiao Han.

"understood."

Xiao Han nodded slightly, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

The show has begun.

All the way to the East Palace, I saw this moment.

Zhu Biao was sitting in the reception room of the East Palace. Zhu Xi had just arrived, and Zhu Fan and Zhu Di were still on their way.

As for why these guys were called, of course it was to let Wang Yuemin know.

After all, when Zhu Biao and Xiao Han were discussing things, they couldn't specially call Wang Yuemin to listen.

Therefore, in order to call Zhu Xi over, Zhu Biao deliberately called Zhu Fan and Zhu Di to cover up others' confusion.

As for Wang Yuemin, she would come on her own after learning that Zhu Xi was called to discuss matters in the north.

"Snowstorm."

"Brother."

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi greeted Xiao Han respectively.

"Ah."

Xiao Han nodded slightly.

Squeak!

Outside the door, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di's chariots arrived one after another. The two went directly into the East Palace.

"Okay, brothers are here, let's get started."

Zhu Biao said.

"Wait a moment!"

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, in the knowing smiles of Zhu Biao and Xiao Han, Wang Yuemin's voice sounded.

"What are you here for?"

"When will my Ming Dynasty discuss national policies and it will be your turn to attend?"

When Zhu Xi saw Wang Yuemin suddenly appear, he couldn't help but frown.

This was a meeting between the Ming Dynasty royal family and the Duke. The discussion was still about Bei Yuan's countermeasures. Even the Crown Princess Chang Qingyun and the two concubines Xu Miaoyun and Chang Qingling of the British Duke chose to avoid it.

Wang Yuemin, a quasi-Qin princess from Meng Yuan, actually ran over on her own. What was she doing?

"I'm here, do I need to apply to you first?"

Wang Yuemin glanced at Zhu Xi.

It seemed like a tit-for-tat confrontation, but in reality, Zhu Xi was picked out.

"you…"

Zhu Xiang's brows were raised, and he was about to get angry.

"Second!"

"It just so happens that the discussion is also about Beiyuan. There are some things that Miss Wang can help us convey to us."

Zhu Biao spoke calmly.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Zhu Biao casually motioned to the maid to add a seat for Wang Yuemin.

"Here's the thing."

"I think Miss Wang wrote a letter back to Bei Yuan earlier. Just this morning, Bei Yuan's credentials were rushed to Yingtian Mansion over 800 miles away."

"Beiyuan hopes to lift the embargo on weapons in exchange for us adjusting the price of Hanyi."

"Brothers, what do you think?" Zhu Biao asked.

"what!"

Zhu Fang was startled and jumped up. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why for a while.

"hehe."

"Wang Baobao really made a good calculation and allowed us to sell some scrap metal that they have no use for and that our Ming Dynasty doesn't even care about, just to get the price of Hanyi."

"However, this is really a principled transaction. You really can't say that Wang Baobao is unreasonable."

Zhu Fan thought for a moment and sneered.

"this…"

After hearing Zhu Fan's taunt, Wang Yuemin couldn't help but blush.

Wang Baobao issued the credentials without consulting her in advance, so she hurried over after hearing that the kings were discussing the matter.

And even though she was from Yuan Dynasty, she still felt that Wang Baobao's behavior was a bit unkind.

Xiao Han said that Daming wanted an attitude, and then you really only gave him an attitude and no practical benefits at all?

The iron rooster never plucks a hair, right?

"Big brother!"

"We can't agree. Doesn't Wang Baobao just want nothing?"

"It's just shameless."

Zhu Xi gritted his teeth and said.

Wang Yuemin pursed her lips, but finally did not speak to refute.

"really."

"Wang Baobao is really not sincere at all."

Zhu Fan also said.

"That's right!"

"This Wang Baobao has no real intention to apologize! Brother! Let's just withdraw their credentials."

Zhu Di said.

"No, we have something to discuss."

Upon hearing Zhu Di's suggestion to fall out, Wang Yuemin immediately spoke.

"Snowstorm."

"What do you think?"

Zhu Biao frowned and looked at Xiao Han.

"I think we can still discuss it further."

"Wang Baobao's move is indeed shameless, but if prices continue to be high, the people of Beiyuan will not be able to afford more cold clothes, and we in Ming Dynasty will make less money."

Xiao Han pinched his chin and said.

"Humph!"

"We should make them unable to afford it and freeze to death these unfamiliar wolf cubs."

"You're using our Ming Dynasty's money to smash our Ming Dynasty's sign."

Zhu Di muttered softly.

"Fourth, what are you muttering about?"

Xiao Han glanced at Zhu Di.

"Ah, no."

"I said that my brother is really far-sighted."

Zhu Di said.

"Snowstorm."

"It's not unacceptable to injure the enemy by one thousand and our Ming Dynasty by losing two hundred."

Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han.

"It's acceptable to accept it, but it's really not beneficial."

"People from Beiyuan will choose to go south once they don't have enough to eat or don't have enough clothes to wear."

"It affects our Ming Dynasty's strategy of cultivating a strong country. Besides, now our Ming Dynasty has not started a war with Can Yuan, so we are not considered an enemy. Isn't this a loss of two hundred in vain?"

Xiao Han opened his mouth to retort.

"Yes, big brother, my brother is right."

"The Ming Dynasty and the Dayuan Dynasty are not at war. We are not enemies now. There is no need. I can write a letter back and try to persuade you."

Wang Yuemin immediately agreed after hearing Xiao Han's words.

"Shut up!"

"How can you speak?"

Zhu Ping scolded angrily.

"Humph!"

Wang Yuemin snorted coldly, but stopped talking.

"We are not enemies now, we will be enemies sooner or later."

"Didn't the previous Hanyi incident show that the Can Yuan people are hostile to our Ming Dynasty?"

"An enemy who has not yet started a war is not an enemy?"

Zhu Biao frowned deeper and continued to speak.

"I'm not saying that Can Yuan is not an enemy, but there is no need to become a real enemy now."

"Our Ming Dynasty's influence on the grassland is still limited. Even if we send troops to burn down Helin City, we will not be able to control the Mobei grassland at all."

"Instead of letting those tribes conquer each other and create a new grassland empire that is good at conquering and fighting, it is better to let the declining Yuan Yuan continue to survive and suppress this grassland."

Xiao Han expressed his thoughts.

"Snowstorm!"

"You think too simply."

"My Ming Dynasty took over the Central Plains Orthodoxy from Meng Yuan, but Meng Yuan has not been completely destroyed, and the two sides are mortal enemies."

"As long as Can Yuan exists for one day, it will be a question of our Ming Dynasty. It is impossible for both sides to coexist for a long time!"

Zhu Biao spoke coldly and with murderous intent.

"No matter how we cannot coexist for a long time, we must fight steadily. Our own strength is the most important."

"As long as the strength of our Ming Dynasty is far greater than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and far surpasses that of the residual Yuan, what do we have to fear if there are ten more residual Yuan?"

Xiao Hanhan snorted, tit for tat.
