Witness the flow, live up to the emperor's plan and live up to the lover

Chapter 9 How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

Opium, also known as opium, is made from marijuana and poppy and is addictive.

If history had gone as it normally would, those foreigners would have sold opium to the Qing Dynasty, poisoning its people.

So Chen Mo thought of doing the opposite, which would not only allow him to earn a lot of extra income, but also slow down the speed of foreign invasion.

You have to know that at that time the foreigners were already carrying out the Industrial Revolution, and their daily lives many years later would be ahead of ours, so we had to buy enough time, otherwise we would still not be able to defeat those foreigners.

In addition to these measures, Chen Mo was afraid that Mo Feng would not be able to recruit foreign talents, so he specially arranged for thousands of people to study abroad in order to learn advanced technologies.

In addition, he also established many schools in the country, aiming to deepen the people's loyalty to the emperor and improve the cultural level of the general public.

It is normal to encounter obstacles and huge expenses. Fortunately, Chen Mo is not fussy about details. He sent people to dig up the imperial tomb and obtained a lot of treasures from it.

We can hold on for a while if we can, and if we can’t, we will keep digging. In any case, we cannot exploit the people.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

When Chen Mo wasn't practicing martial arts, he would indulge in various landscapes, and the number of beauties in his harem continued to increase.

Life in ancient society was too hard for ordinary people, but for people at the top of society like Chen Mo, it was simply heaven.

Not only can he have three wives and four concubines, but he also doesn't have to work. There will be people to serve him no matter what he does, and the food, drink, and entertainment are the best in the world.

In the past five years, Rushuang and Xiaocui also gave birth to children for Chen Mo. He did not hesitate and immediately made them the crown prince to prevent the children from fighting for power in the future.

In the court, there have been many new faces in the past five years. They were all recruited by Chen Mo through the imperial examination system, and they all have their merits.

At the local level, all the previous generals had basically been replaced by Chen Mo, and the military power of the world was truly in Chen Mo's hands.

The talents who were previously sent abroad to study advanced foreign technology have also returned to the country one after another. They not only received rewards, but were also given various official positions.

As for Zhao Wuji, the progress was also quite good. He opened up sales channels in various countries in three years, and started to make money continuously in the next two years.

As for Mo Feng, with the country becoming richer and stronger in recent years, tax revenues have risen accordingly. Combined with the income from Zhao Wuji's longevity cream, he has already helped Chen Mo purchase a lot of advanced equipment.

You don't want to sell your powerful ships and cannons? Then add more money!

Still not willing to sell? Then keep raising the price until they are willing to sell. After all, this money is earned from them!

Just as Chen Mo walked out of the imperial study, Jinyiwei commander Ji Guang suddenly came to report that foreigners were reselling Fu Shou cream on the southeast coast.

"Catch all the people and execute them. As for the longevity cream, give it to Zhao Wuji and ask him to sell it back to foreign countries for me!" Chen Mo said coldly.

Damn it, as long as you dare to come, I will fight. I will fight as long as you want until I win completely!

Sure enough, half a month later, foreigners led by the British sent people to the capital to put pressure on Chen Mo to hand over the murderer!

"I tell you to go to hell, catch them all, put them in the oil pan, fry them, and send them back to those foreigners!" Chen Mo waved his hand, and the palace guards came forward and arrested these arrogant foreigners. The next day, a British general looked at his companions who were fried to a crispy outside and tender inside, and shouted angrily: "This is a provocation, I will make the Emperor of Chen pay the price!"

"Your Majesty, the British have gathered the armies of several other countries and are driving their warships towards our Bohai Sea!" Ji Guang reported while kneeling on the ground.

At that time, the telegraph was not yet mature, so Chen Mo used carrier pigeons to send messages, which was also quite fast.

"Don't give them the chance to land, just sink them at sea!" Chen Mo sneered.

Following Chen Mo's order, the people living near Bohai Sea that day only saw flames rising into the sky and the sound of artillery fire.

With Chen Mo's reckless efforts, the number of warships of the Great Chen Dynasty had already exceeded that of the invaders. Moreover, this was Bohai Sea, which was considered a local battle, so these invaders were unsurprisingly wiped out at sea.

That night, countless sharks were fed.

It was also this battle that made the world re-recognize this land, the newly emerged Dachen Dynasty, and the ruler of the Dachen Dynasty: Chen Mo!

Although Britain claims to be the country on which the sun never sets, they also know that if they fight to the death with Chen Mo, even if they successfully strike the Chen Dynasty, they will also lose a few teeth.

So, after their apparent condemnation, there was no substantial war action.

Secretly, Britain joined forces with other countries to blockade the trade of the Great Chen Dynasty and prohibit the sale of arms to Chen Mo.

In response to this, Chen Mo only said: Fortunately, we have continuously sent talents to study abroad in recent years, and now our own arsenal and shipyard have also been established, so we are not afraid of the blockade by these people.

Since you dare to block it, I will block it back!

As Chen Mo issued an imperial edict, coastal ports and many major transportation routes were immediately placed under martial law, and all materials that were not available in other countries or were scarce were not allowed to leave the country.

My Great Chen Dynasty is vast and rich in resources. Do you, a bunch of tiny countries, want to compete with me in consumption?
Haha, let’s see who can’t hold on first!

Sure enough, half a year later, after these foreigners found out that Chen Mo was too tough, they had no choice but to give up the blockade of the Chen Dynasty. They couldn't lock it away, and they also lost the resources and trade of this land. Why bother!

Another ten years later, the national strength of the Dachen Dynasty was further enhanced, and high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and corn were introduced, so that everyone could have enough food.

In terms of land, although Chen Mo did not overthrow those landlords directly, he limited the amount of land those landlords owned. If the number exceeded this number, not only would they be fined, but their land would also be confiscated!
In the military field, Chen Mo collected martial arts from all over the world and specially trained an elite force of 100,000 people. They were not only good at boxing and kicking, but also excellent at shooting.

"Your Majesty, according to the spies, Japan seems to be learning some reforms from us!" Ji Guang reported.

Chen Mo was well aware of the importance of intelligence, so he not only arranged the Jinyiwei to monitor the world in the country, but also arranged countless spies to go to various countries, so that when other countries launched military operations against him, he would be able to respond in advance.

"Humph, how can I allow others to snore beside my bed?

It just so happens that my 100,000 spearmen haven't seen blood for a long time, so let them go!"
