Zhu Han lived a very carefree life on the grassland. He was tough, but Liu Sanniang was not. She also knew about the relationship between Sophia, Natalie, and Zhou Zhiruo and Zhu Han, but she didn't take it to heart.
In Liu Sanniang's view, a real man would naturally have three wives and four concubines. It seemed that the more women Zhu Han had, the more proud she, Liu Sanniang, would be.
So on the way, Liu Sanniang left Zhu Han's side casually, so that the other three women could have the opportunity to find Zhu Han.
Sophia and Natalie, two foreign women, are different from the women from the Central Plains. They looked at Zhu Han with undisguised eyes: Liu Sanniang has it, and we want it too.
Zhou Zhiruo also wanted it very much, but she was shy. She wanted it but was embarrassed to say it. She just stared into Zhu Han's eyes, which were so full of spring that they were almost dripping with water. Liu Sanniang, as a 'big woman', also showed her true self.
With a broad mind, Zhu Han took the initiative to leave opportunities to these three women. Zhu Han enjoyed the blessings of everyone on the grassland.
Sometimes Zhu Han also thinks that his original idea was that after the war, he would be a free prince, go around to have fun, find a lot of women, and have to make a lot of attempts, but when he was summing up, he realized...
It seems that I found a little less, and it deviated from my original intention.
Thinking of his original intention, Zhu Han finally made up his mind: "I have finally settled down, I have to start wandering!"
Four is not enough!
I want to hit ten!
"..."
Zhu Han thought about it carefully...and found that he indeed only had four women.
But why does it feel like something is missing?
It seems like there is one person missing.
…
The Roman Empire... ah no, it's called the Western Yuan Empire now.
Wang Baobao did not forget his original intention and still used the name of Yuan, but this Yuan... was not the Yuan Dynasty that occupied the Central Plains. Wang Baobao added the word "西" in front of it to show that he remembered the humiliation of being driven out of the Central Plains by the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention, this recruitment won a lot of people's hearts and stabilized Wang Baobao's position. At least the soldiers he brought were quite convinced of Wang Baobao.
As for what the local aborigines in Rome thought...Wang Baobao didn't care. If they didn't obey, they would just be beaten.
If I can't defeat the Ming Dynasty, I can't deal with you?
Although Wang Baobao named his country something similar to the Yuan Dynasty and also used the banner of "returning to the Central Plains", he knew better than anyone else that the current Ming Dynasty was not an enemy they could resist at all... Moreover, Wang Baobao believed that he
It is not safe in Rome now, so he still wants to continue walking westward to the far west where his ancestors have been.
Wang Baobao had only heard of such a distant place. Others said it was a wild land, but for Wang Baobao it was quite good... They had all fled to the wild land. Ming Dynasty wouldn't chase them again, right?
While thinking of a way out for himself, Wang Baobao also had to take into account development. Even if Rome was not a place where he would live permanently, he would take advantage of this period to cultivate a group of civil servants who could handle official duties.
Relying on military officers to plunder brutally is not a long-term solution.
When it comes to developing and managing the court, Wang Baobao thinks of Zhao Min.
Zhao Min once stayed with Zhu Han, and Zhu Han was the first hero to establish the Ming Dynasty. He was the best in both civil and martial arts. She had stayed with Zhu Han for such a long time, so she should know something.
.
Just do it if you think of it.
Wang Baobao immediately went to find Zhao Min. After hearing what Wang Baobao said, Zhao Min shook his head and said, "I can't do it, so you go find someone else."
"..."
As soon as he came to explain his purpose, he was scolded, which made Wang Baobao feel very uncomfortable.
Wang Baobao wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhao Min, who kicked Wang Baobao out of the room on the grounds of feeling unwell.
This is the only person in the entire Western Yuan Dynasty who dares to drive Wang Baobao out of the room.
Wang Baobao was very puzzled. Zhao Min was not like this usually. Why was he always depressed after coming back?
It can't be...because of that boy Zhu Han, right?
Thinking of Zhu Han, Wang Baobao couldn't help clenching his fists. He seemed to understand the reason why Zhao Min had changed so much.
After some hesitation, Wang Baobao found the maids around Zhao Min and asked them to keep an eye on Zhao Min. If any problem occurred, they would only ask, where have the maids seen this? They could only agree quickly.
Without Zhao Min's help, Wang Baobao can do it by himself, but he has to do it himself. He regards Zhu Han as his strongest opponent, so he naturally pays close attention to Zhu Han, and even collects Zhu Han's information from many aspects. Wang Baobao has no doubts about Zhu Han.
I still understand some of the policy practices.
If Zhao Min doesn't help, Wang Baobao can do it, but it will just make him more tired.
Business!
Wang Baobao believes that a very important point in Zhu Han's plan for Ming Dynasty is that Zhu Han developed the business and gave Ming Dynasty a very profound hematopoietic ability. If it were not for the development of business and trade, Ming Dynasty would not have been able to develop so fast.
And artillery... Zhu Han saw the superiority of artillery on the battlefield, especially the use of gunpowder. If these two points can be achieved, Wang Baobao feels that when facing the Ming Dynasty in the future, he will no longer have to hide and hide like this.
Already.
In the field of gunpowder, Wang Baobao can still do some things. They have their own craftsmen who make gunpowder, but in terms of business... Wang Baobao thinks they can't do it.
Accustomed to the prosperity of the Central Plains, Wang Baobao despised Rome.
Wang Baobao was also convinced that such a country could exist for more than 1,300 years.
Do you really have no opponents?
Wang Baobao was very disdainful of Rome. Their economy, industry and commerce were developed, but in Wang Baobao's view, this kind of development was just a form of self-pleasure.
If you are capable, can you compete with Daming?
The most important thing about Rome was the prosperity of the slave economy. Regular foreign conquests allowed Rome to acquire a lot of slaves. They flowed into Rome and put into labor in large numbers. A slave economy emerged. With the expansion of slave labor, slaves became a part of society.
On the basis of Rome's large estates, slaves were used on a large scale, and slave labor also played an important role in industry. The reason why slaves were so widely used was, firstly, because of the continuous source of slaves, and secondly, because the use of slave labor was relatively
It is more profitable to use free labor, because slaves can be driven to work continuously, the price is cheap, and they do not have to perform military service... This undoubtedly gives them more space to work.
However, when their conquests ended, the source of slaves was no longer widespread, prices rose, and slaves became less motivated; at the same time, the market for the products of the entire empire no longer existed, and at this time, the slave economy was no longer profitable.
, and the agricultural foundation was destroyed, it was normal for Rome to decline.
Doesn’t this give Wang Baobao a chance?
For those slaves, Wang Baobao followed Zhu Han's example and freed them from their status as slaves. They could control their own destiny...
Wang Baobao is learning from Zhu Han in more and more measures.
This is a typical example of joining if you can't beat him. Zhu Han defeated Wang Baobao and fled. Now Wang Baobao might as well learn from Zhu Han.
However, when Wang Baobao implemented it, he realized how difficult it was to implement Zhu Han's policies. Wang Baobao even cursed more than once: This stupid Rome has wasted more than a thousand years of time and development.
neither.
Complaints are complaints, but Wang Baobao had to do it. If the Ming army really chased Rome, Wang Baobao hoped that he would be able to fight, at least he would not have to be chased by the Ming Dynasty like before.
The first is gunpowder. In terms of making gunpowder, Wang Baobao is very confident. He has already begun to do so. Moreover, in terms of iron smelting and craftsmanship, Rome itself has its own smelting facilities and technology.
After several observations, Wang Baobao came to the conclusion that although it was not as good as the smelting process in the Central Plains, judging from the current situation, the smelting in Rome could be considered to be of a high standard.
As for trade... Wang Baobao believed that in order to make Rome rich, it must trade with the countries to the west on the one hand, and on the other hand, it must introduce better products from the Ming Dynasty. While meeting its own needs, it can also be sold to countries in the west.
Earn the difference.
Wang Baobao was confidently preparing to fight in Rome and restore the glory of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the West, but a piece of bad news suddenly made his mood drop to the bottom.
Zhao Min... seems to be leaving.
…
Just as Wang Baobao worried, Zhao Min is now in Cao Ying and her heart is in Han. Although she has left, her heart has never left Zhu Han.
It has been a long time since Zhao Min left Zhu Han...
But to Zhao Min, everything seemed like it happened yesterday.
She misses the days when she was with Zhu Han, and at the same time, she also feels deep self-blame for betraying Zhu Han.
After receiving the information from Zhu Han, Zhao Min thought it was her responsibility. Meng Yuan needed the information, so Zhao Min did so. But when she gave the information to Wang Baobao, she blamed herself very much.
Especially the current environment makes Zhao Min feel even more miserable.
Meng Yuan is no longer the Meng Yuan of the past. All their resources now must be closer to the country. Don't talk about individuals. Everyone is serving Meng Yuan, even if you die... As long as it is good to Meng Yuan, then
You must do it without hesitation.
This kind of life makes Zhao Min miserable. Now she is doubting whether she was right in stealing the information from Zhu Han.
Maybe...it's really wrong.
Zhao Min was also thinking...if they had been captured alive by Zhu Han instead of being chased by the Ming Dynasty like now, would the people of Meng Yuan have lived a better life?
She knew very well that Zhu Han was not a murderous person. Those who surrendered lived very well in the Ming Dynasty, and no one discriminated against them. On the contrary, they received a lot of help. The government gave them cattle, sheep, land, and also taught them
Their craftsmanship allows them to support themselves while also having a craft at their side.
What a wonderful life, there is no war, no discrimination, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone has a smile on their face. This is the life that Zhao Min is looking forward to.
It's a pity... Zhao Min had a headache for a moment. For Meng Yuan and Meng Yuan's interests, she left the most comfortable place.
Have you ever regretted it?
Zhao Min regrets it all the time.
Countless nights, Zhao Min dreamed of Zhu Han, and blaming herself day after day gave Zhao Min a thought: She wanted to go back! She wanted to return to Zhu Han again!
After struggling for a long time, Zhao Min finally made up his mind and fled overnight.
As for how to return to the Ming Dynasty... Zhao Min felt that they could definitely return to the Ming Dynasty by following the route they took here.
In order to see Zhu Han again, Zhao Min was not afraid of anything.
Maybe Zhao Min's thoughts are very simple, maybe she is a simple person herself, and when she chose to leave in the dead of night, she was already noticed by caring people.
Wang Baobao has been paying attention to Zhao Min... ever since Zhao Min came back from stealing Zhu Han's information, he has been paying attention to her.
Wang Baobao also knew why Zhao Min was absent-minded, but he didn't want to admit it.
During the time when Zhao Min was working as an undercover agent next to Zhu Han, Zhao Min fell in love with Zhu Han, which made Wang Baobao feel very uncomfortable and thought that he had not taken good care of Zhao Min.
The maid next to Zhao Min told Wang Baobao that Zhao Min wanted to leave. He didn't believe it at first. It was not until Zhao Min was about to leave that Wang Baobao finally confirmed that although Zhao Min was back, her soul was always in Zhu Han, and she often
Wang Baobao noticed that she was not thinking about food and tea, but did not give her any reminder.
Zhao Min left with the two horses and walked back the way they came, but not far away, she saw Wang Baobao waiting for her in front.
】
Wang Baobao had very complicated emotions about Zhao Min. He wanted to keep her, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.
It seemed that Zhao Min could only be allowed to leave.
When Zhao Min saw Wang Baobao, he didn't say anything, just looked at him.
After a long time, Wang Baobao finally spoke first: "Are you ready to leave?"
"yes!"
"Go back to find Zhu Han?"
"Um."
Zhao Min answered simply and neatly, which made Wang Baobao a little annoyed: "You..."
He was about to curse, but Wang Baobao saw the stubbornness in Zhao Min's eyes and wanted to say something else, but in the end he didn't continue.
Wang Baobao didn't want Zhao Min to leave, and he also knew Zhao Min's character, which was stubborn!
Whatever you set your sights on must be done no matter what, no one can say anything about it.
Back then, for the sake of Meng Yuan and to help Wang Baobao, Zhao Min took the initiative to ask Ying to work as a secret agent for Zhu Han. At that time, Wang Baobao refused directly, but Zhao Min still ran out secretly.
Now……
Wang Baobao was reluctant to let Zhao Min leave, so he chose to persuade Zhao Min in another way: "Now the Ming Dynasty is pressing on us step by step. We have all fled to this hellish place, and they are still biting us. Recently, although there are only small-scale
Friction, but the real war will happen soon, and it will be a battle that determines life and death. What will they think if you go there now? Do they think you will be a dark room again, will you have a good life there? "
Since the Ming Dynasty learned that Zhao Min was the Meng Yuan Anjian, Zhu Yuanzhang intensified his investigation of the Anjian. The people sent by Wang Baobao either rebelled or were found by Zhu Yuanzhang, and they had no way of knowing the military trends of the Ming Dynasty. He is now interested in Zhao Min.
What Min said was based on his judgment as a general and speculation about the future. Wang Baobao believed that now was the calm before the storm, and that war would soon occur.
