"Hmph! This gun only costs one hundred taels of silver." Hua Houwei glanced at Hongzhi, who was a little embarrassed.

Zhang Mao almost dropped his jaw in shock: "One hundred taels! Oh my God! I can't afford it, I can't afford it!"

Hongzhi glared at Hua Houwei, smiled at Zhang Mao and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, I will allocate the money from the inner treasury and distribute it to ten thousand people."

Zhang Mao shook his head: "Too few, too few. Thousands of people are scattered on all sides, and you can't even see it."

Hua Houwei couldn't help it: "British Sir, why do you have to spread it out? Aren't clenched fists more powerful than open palms? Each person in the team of 10,000 people is assigned two horses. Although the nine sides are vast, they can arrive in three days.

Right? The little prince seizes the pass, one of the tens of thousands of troops blocks the retreat, and the other covers up the pass, and the inside of the pass cooperates with the outside. Haha, little prince? Even if Genghis Khan comes back again, he will be defeated like a mountain!"

Zhang Mao stayed where he was, suddenly cheered loudly, and looked Hua Houwei up and down: "Your Majesty, I believe it! I believe that His Highness traveled thousands of miles and defeated the barbarians who did not dare to look south. With such a talent, how can the old man ask His Highness to read

What book is it?"

Hua Houwei sneered: "Books and military books are all lies. The victory or defeat on the battlefield has always been in the temple. The battle is about logistics, weapons, and army structure. In addition, the commander

Only with the ability can you win the battle. The British Lord, strength is greater than skill. Once the strength can crush the opponent, it will be difficult for Sun Wu to come back again!"

Zhang Mao looked at Hua Houwei and murmured: "Strength is greater than skill? Strength is greater than skill! Haha, Your Highness said it well!"

Ma Wensheng came over and bowed to Hua Houwei: "Thank you, Your Highness, for creating such a magical spear. The Ming Dynasty will regain its power soon!"

Hua Houwei originally wanted to say something humble, but when he saw Hongzhi's appearance, he felt angry: "I don't dare, I could have done better. Expanding production will reduce the cost rapidly, and this gun can be made with only seven or eight taels. There are more bullets."

It’s ten cents a piece, which is more powerful than an army of millions!”

Liu Jian shouted to Hongzhi: "Your Majesty?"

Hongzhi sighed: "Well, it's not that I don't want to, but I have invested too much. Once there is a natural disaster, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Besides, it won't be able to stop from the beginning. After the Ming Dynasty defeated Mongolia, looking at the world, who else can it defeat?

"

"Dad! There are many enemies! Europa's guns right now are even worse than those of the Shenji Battalion. Once we stop and others surpass us, how many days of peace can the Ming Dynasty have?"

Just when Hongzhi was about to rebuke Hua Houwei, Liu Daxia sighed: "Your Majesty, what His Highness said is that red-haired ghosts have appeared in Nanyang! As His Highness said, those red-haired ghost fire guns are no worse than those of the Ming Dynasty, and there is also a kind of small cannon with two parts.

The launch is rapid and should not be ignored."

Hongzhi was shocked. He didn’t expect the Europas his son mentioned to come so quickly! Perhaps this was the butterfly effect brought about by time travel. Historically, it would take another seven or eight years for the Ming Dynasty to come into contact with the Portuguese, but at this moment, the shadow of Europa has appeared.

Around Daming.

Liu Jian asked Liu Daxia: "Shi Yong, how do you know?"

"Sir, there are many people from Jiangxi who went to Nanyang. A while ago, a member of the Yan clan's family wrote that they had seen him in Nanyang. He told me about it as an anecdote, and I didn't know about it until then."

Hongzhi looked at Hua Houwei, and Hua Houwei spread his hands: "Dad, don't ask me, I told you that I was very poor in history."

"Hmph! Your wish comes true! Liu Jian!"

"Old minister is here!"

"Hou Wei has a set of things that can enrich the country and strengthen the army. The cabinet is discussing with him to come up with a deal. I want to see it!"

Liu Jian promised: "Yes, Your Majesty. But what can be called a rich country and a strong army?"

"Haha, industry! Big industry! Only big industry can enrich the country and strengthen the army!" Hua Houwei danced happily, but he didn't expect that Hongzhi actually agreed? Ha! It's time for me to show off his talents!

Back in the palace, Hua Houwei followed Liu Jian into the cabinet. After sitting down, Liu Jian took the pamphlet handed over by Xingchi, flipped through it a few times, and put it on the table: "Your Highness, I am dazzled and cannot read the small print.

.It is better for His Highness to give you a rough outline and we will see how to implement it."

Hua Houwei nodded and said sincerely: "Sir, let's not call you Your Highness. Just call me Hou Wei. You are old enough to be my grandfather!"

"The etiquette cannot be discarded. Your Highness has a heart, but I can only accept it with my heart." Liu Jian smiled kindly, his eyes becoming gentler. He had been very optimistic about Hua Houwei five years ago. This time Hua Houwei came out again.

, he intended to help.

"Uh, alas, okay. Scholars have their own persistence, I understand. Sir, my idea is this. Let's start with the military industry and establish a series of industrial chains from mining, coking coal, iron smelting, and machinery manufacturing, and gradually reduce the

The number of armies will be extended to civilian industries, such as chemical industry, textiles, fertilizers and other industries. In less than ten years, Ming Dynasty will be invincible in the world!"

Li Dongyang frowned: "Your Highness, what is chemical industry and fertilizer?"

"Master Li, let's talk about fertilizer first. If this stuff is sprinkled on the ground, I estimate that the yield can be doubled."

"Cough! Cough!" Xie Qian almost choked to death after taking a sip of tea. He coughed and his chest was full of tea. He didn't bother to wipe it off and asked urgently: "Your Highness, is it true?"

"Second Master, although I have only studied with you for a short time, you should understand me, right? Am I a big talker?"

Xie Qian smiled: "Your Highness, that's not what I meant. In fact, what you said is shocking, I can't believe it."

Liu Jian also nodded: "Yes, Your Highness. What is the number of doubling the output? I can't believe it."

"Oh, it's really nothing. Chemical fertilizers and improved seeds really have such an effect. At the end of the world, there are descendants of the Yin Shang on a continent with crops that can produce more than a thousand catties per mu. That is magical." Hua Hou.

Wei was thinking about corn, sweet potatoes, and yam eggs, wishing he could put on his wings and fly to the American continent.

"What? A thousand catties per mu? Oh my God!" Liu Jian was shocked, he just caressed his chest and exclaimed.

"Descendants of the Yin and Shang dynasties? Really?" Li Dongyang was fond of gold and stone. When he heard the word "descendants of the Yin and Shang dynasties", he immediately became interested.

"It is rumored, it is just rumored. If you keep going towards the northeast, you will find a strait. If it is winter, it will be freezing there. After crossing the strait, you will find the continent. If you keep going south, you will see what I said

Indians. It is said that the descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties found the mainland along the route just mentioned. They look the same as us, but even the essence of the mountains has been lost. Time has changed and communication has been a problem." Hua Hou

Wei once read a post that discussed in detail many inferences and evidence that the Indians may be Yin Di'an people, and now he repeated it without thinking.

"Yin Di'an people? Your Highness, how long is the journey? Thousands of miles away?" Li Dongyang was not particularly interested in the Yin Di'an people in America and wanted to see if there was any possibility of searching for them.
