Jiang Ning stood up suddenly, a kingly aura coming out.
All the civil and military officials were frightened when they saw it. They were obviously frightened.
Even Liu Zhong feels that the current Jiang Ning is too strange, not the one he once controlled at all!
What exactly happened?
Could it be that Emperor Wu was possessed by something evil?
Logically speaking, it is not true. If it were really evil, the current Wu Dynasty should be in chaos.
However, now, it is developing in an orderly manner.
This made Liu Zhong feel a little confused.
Jiang Ning said loudly: "The strength of a dynasty needs to be combined with people's strength, economy, military combat effectiveness, etc... Among them, economy plays a decisive role. I compare this economy to water. You are the fish in the water. If there is no water, what will the fish be like?"
Is there still a chance to travel?"
"No!"
"So, there are various reasons for the origin of the economy, of which business accounts for a large part. Everyone should understand this!" Jiang Ning said in a persuasive manner.
Gradually, Yang Hui understood what Jiang Ning meant, "Your Majesty, do you mean to vigorously develop business?"
"That's right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials in the court immediately began to whisper to each other.
The whispers continued.
The reason for this scene is that the Wu Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, believing that agriculture was the foundation of the world.
But even so, agriculture was not vigorously developed, leaving the people displaced and starved of food!
To put it bluntly, it’s really ironic!
"absurd…"
A cold voice sounded, besides the current Imperial Master, who else could it be?
Liu Zhong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, agriculture is the foundation of the country. If commerce is developed and everyone engages in commercial activities, then who will plant it in so much land in the world?"
"Three meals a day are the top priority for everyone in the world!"
Jiang Ning understood what Liu Zhong meant, and he said calmly: "Of course we are not asking everyone to develop business, but we are making a statement to the world that we hope everyone can change their attitude towards business and stop being so resistant. Another thing, business leads
I’m afraid agriculture will never be able to match the tax revenue it brings!”
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
Yang Hui and his party thought about it and felt that what Jiang Ning said made sense, so they flattered him seriously.
Jiang Ning felt upset after hearing the flattery, but he did not have an attack in the main hall, "I hope you will consider what I said today when you go back and give me a suitable countermeasure. If the Wu Dynasty wants to be strong, at this stage,
Reform must be made, and only thorough reform can make the Wu Dynasty strong and rejuvenate... There are wolf cavalry in the north and millions of soldiers in the south. Do you think we are at peace?"
A few words made everyone present feel enlightened!
It can be said that the situation of the Wu Dynasty is very difficult now. It is in the center and is surrounded from east to west, north and south. Once the four surrounding countries send troops, I am afraid it will be overwhelmed immediately. If you want to change this situation, you can only be strong and capable.
Avoid face!
All civil and military officials were shocked speechless by Jiang Ning.
I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful!
He is only eighteen years old!
Jiang Ning finally had the opportunity to compete with Lang Juxu, so naturally he had to be bold and arrogant!
"I hope that when you go to court tomorrow, you can submit all the policies to encourage business!"
Jiang Ning lowered his eyes and spoke slowly, but even so, he still overwhelmed the civil and military officials.
"As for other voices, you can have them, but don't say them above the Golden Palace!"
"yes!"
"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
All the civil and military officials had nothing to say now and all chose to remain silent.
When Jiang Ning saw this, he did not stay. He walked behind the screen and said, "Hu Yawen, and the people from the production and supervision department are here!"
Hu Yawen and the person in charge of the Production and Supervision Department paused and quickly followed.
As for the remaining officials, they all walked outside the Golden Palace.
Liu Zhong was furious, "Young boy, you have violated the world's taboo. I want to see how many people will support you!"
snort!
In his view, Jiang Ning's current approach was destroying the foundation of the Wu Dynasty.
…
Behind Wuming Palace.
Side hall.
Jiang Ning said directly to Hu Yawen: "What are the tools used to open canals now?"
Hu Yawen gave examples one by one. Jiang Ning had never heard of most of them, and the only one who had heard of them was Haotou.
When I asked, it was still made of wood. I sighed, such a tool is very inefficient!
It is precisely because of this that many large-scale projects in the past required hard work without tools, and they could only use their hands in times of crisis. Therefore, there is a saying that the construction of all luxurious palaces cannot be separated from the foundation stone of bones.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, did you summon us?"
Jiang Ning came back to his senses, paused, and said, "I suddenly thought of some ditch-drilling equipment. Now draw the drawings and see what you think!"
Hu Yawen and Hu Yawen looked at each other and nodded quickly.
With this, Jiang Ning picked up the wolf-hair brush and began to scold Fang Qiu on the paper.
After a while, all kinds of utensils appeared on the paper, all new gadgets that the two people in front of them had never seen before.
There are shovels, hoes, plows, etc…
When Wang An from the Production Supervisory Department saw it, his eyes almost popped out of his head, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are these things used to open ditches?"
"Of course not, it can also be used for reclamation. When people have these things in their hands, naturally they no longer need to rely on their hands!" Jiang Ning explained thoughtfully.
"Wonderful, wonderful...really wonderful!" Wang An was a little excited. After all, he was responsible for supervising the production and had never seen these new things before.
Then, Jiang Ning added, "The sharp points of these tools need to be wrapped with iron. Firstly, they can break the ground easily, and secondly, they can keep the tools used for a long time!"
When Wang An heard this, his expression was startled, "Your Majesty, do you use iron for farm tools?"
"right!"
"Iron is a scarce resource, and most of it is used in weapon manufacturing!" Wang An told the truth.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said: "Take out two-tenths of the iron to make these farm tools. When the people have enough to eat, and the Wu Dynasty has combat effectiveness, someone will send us weapons and other things!"
Wang An nodded blankly, but did not understand what Jiang Ning meant.
However, Hu Yawen heard the implication: Your Majesty wants to be the master of expanding the territory!
Thinking about the various measures promulgated by Emperor Wu during this period, it all shows that Emperor Wu has a great possibility of becoming an unparalleled emperor.
Jiang Ning asked again, "Wang An, in the evening, I want you to deliver the finished products of these utensils. Is there any problem?"
The emperor's order cannot be violated, how can Wang An dare to disobey?
"Your Majesty, I will do my best to make it!"
"Okay, you go down first!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hu Yawen was also about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Ning...
