"Hahaha, come on, come on, let's not talk about this topic anymore.
Uncle, you should continue to tell me what happened before."
Zhang Kuang immediately fanned the smoke in front of him and watched Young Master Liu nodding happily.
"Yes, yes, I'm off topic, I'm off topic.
Your Majesty, let us continue to talk about the construction of these palaces."
"Uncle, tell me roughly what kind of methods these people from the Great Food Country used when building these tall palaces?"
"Back to Your Majesty, in the past few years, I have asked many questions about the royal family and the craftsmen of the Great Food Country.
According to their answers, when they built these palaces, they used various methods such as the earth pile method, the lever method, and the pulley method..."
After hearing the arrogant answer, Liu Mingzhi nodded with a clear expression.
Immediately, he stood up from the stone table, looked around the tall palace in front of him, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Phew! It seems that no matter where you are, there are always smart people!"
Zhang Kuang listened to Young Master Liu's sighing tone and remained silent for a moment with a hesitant look on his face. He stood up and walked to Young Master Liu's side and stopped.
"His Majesty."
"Well, what's wrong?"
Seeing Young Master Liu's puzzled expression, Zhang Kuang's face became hesitant again.
He pursed his lips a few times, as if he wanted to say something.
"Your Majesty, veteran... veteran..."
Young Master Liu frowned slightly when he saw Zhang Kuang's hesitant expression.
"Uncle, there is nothing to hide between us.
If you want to say something, just say it."
Zhang Kuang took a deep breath and nodded gently.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say, do you know whether it is appropriate to say it or not?"
"Hehehe, but it doesn't matter."
"Your Majesty, if what I said is not agreeable to your ears, I hope your Majesty will not blame you."
Liu Mingzhi gently took a puff of the dry cigarette, chuckled and nodded.
"Hehehe, no problem, I forgive you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, in the past we always regarded these Westerners in the Far West as uncivilized barbarians.
At the very beginning, when I and others had just conquered the entire Dashi Kingdom and had not yet dealt with these Westerners, I always thought so.
I think they, Westerners, are all uneducated barbarians.
However, when I have been dealing with them for a long time, I gradually became aware of it.
In fact, these people from the Food Country and the Roman Country were very smart and were not as ignorant as we initially imagined.
Although their fighting power is not as good as our dragons, it does not mean that they are ignorant savages.
Their poor combat effectiveness can only mean that their military equipment and tactics are not as good as ours, Dalong Celestial Dynasty. It has nothing to do with them themselves.
The veteran believes that we cannot think that they are all uncivilized barbarians just because their soldiers and horses are incompetent in combat.
In the opinion of my veteran minister, we must face up to these Westerners in the Far West.
We can no longer think of ourselves as the heavenly state and treat them with such a condescending attitude.
If our thoughts and thoughts do not change, but continue like this.
The veteran has a premonition that sooner or later our Dalong Dynasty will suffer a big loss from these Westerners.
You may even pay a very heavy price."
Liu Mingzhi casually untied the wine bag from his waist, took out the cork, took a sip of wine, looked at Zhang Kuang and nodded silently.
"Uncle, continue talking."
Zhang Kuang chuckled and nodded, raised his hand to stroke his gray beard a few times, and narrowed his old eyes with a look of sadness.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, I don't know why I came up with such an idea.
Today, our Great Dragon Kingdom has nearly a million battle-hardened elite troops stationed in these Western countries in the Far West.
Behind an army of nearly one million people, there was the Anxi Protectorate, as well as soldiers and horses from more than thirty countries in the Western Regions as reinforcements.
In front of us, there is the Dalong treasure fleet led by Hou An Jianghe of Haining, with tens of thousands of elite officers and soldiers patrolling all the Western nations.
In the future, if something unexpected happens, the tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses in the hands of Hou Haining will be a unique force that can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
There is the Anxi Protectorate in the rear, and more than thirty countries from the Western Regions are providing support.
In the middle are the Western Expedition Army on the left, the Western Expedition Army on the right, the Western Expedition Army on the second route, the Anxi Protectorate and the coalition forces of more than 30 countries in the Western Regions. Together they are nearly a million troops and are powerful in all directions.
There is a fleet of dragon treasure ships in front, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers can serve as a surprise force.
With such a strong military force, if the ministers and others only fight, they do not govern or defend the city.
I have the guts to say something immodest, and I will be able to sweep across the Far West without any rivals from the Western countries.
No matter it is a big country or a small country; no matter it is a fortified city or an important town.
They can hold out for about ten days, or at most twenty days, under the attack of the ministers and others, even if they have the ability.
According to common sense, under such a situation, veteran minister, what do I have to worry about?
As the veteran said just now, I don’t even know how I could have such an idea.
However, I have been with these Westerners for a long time and have dealt with them many times.
This idea of the veteran is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more people."
As he spoke arrogantly, he took a long puff of dry cigarette and looked at Young Master Liu solemnly.
"Your Majesty, people from the West are like tigers and wolves.
If we don’t pay attention to it today, given time, our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty will surely suffer its backlash.
I have finished what I have said. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope your majesty will forgive me."
After listening to Zhang Kuang's long speech, Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and became silent.
After a while.
Liu Mingzhi leaned forward slightly, chuckled and knocked out the ashes from the smoke pot under his feet.
"Uncle, tell me, why did you come up with such an idea?"
Hearing this, Zhang Kuang looked slightly stunned and did not react for a while.
"Your Majesty, I just told you that I don't even know why I had such an idea."
"Uncle, what I want to ask is not this question, but why do you gradually change your initial impression of these Westerners?"
As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhang Kuang, held up the wine bag in his hand and took a sip of the drink.
"Your Majesty, after I have spent a long time with these Westerners.
Gradually, I discovered that these Western countries in the far west have their own laws, their own writing, their own systems, and their own rules.
They have a complete system just like our Dalong Celestial Empire.
Just ask, a country with a complete set of laws, a complete set of texts, a series of rules, and a complete system.
How could he be the kind of uneducated barbarian that we had in our initial impression?
Of course, based on the current situation, we, the Great Dragon Kingdom, can still regard them as barbarians.
However, this kind of barbarians are the kind of barbarians who do not obey the king and do not respect our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty.
They are not the kind of barbarians who are uneducated and look like savages in the mountains and forests.
Your Majesty, these people we think of as barbarians can learn.
Moreover, their learning ability is very strong, and they are completely different from our Dalong people.
Your Majesty, based on my observations of them over the years, I can tell you for sure.
As long as we truly teach them knowledge with our heart, they will grow up quickly.
As for what will happen after they truly grow up, I can't guarantee it."
Liu Mingzhi raised his head and drank several large sips of wine, then paced back and forth gently with a smile on his face.
Zhang Kuang frowned involuntarily when he saw the faint smile on Young Master Liu's face.
What is the situation? Why is Your Majesty still smiling?
Doesn't he know how serious the problems he just mentioned are?
Or, Your Majesty, does he think that the issues he just mentioned are just scaremongering?
Or could it be that His Majesty has been sitting in that position for too long and has developed a sense of pride that he no longer takes the people of the world seriously?
After Zhang Kuang muttered to himself, he quietly shook his head.
No, no.
Based on my understanding of Liu Mingzhi, he is definitely not such a person.
Otherwise, he would not have the ability to suddenly raise an army to rebel and sit on that chair very forcefully when the world is still peaceful.
Just like the situation just now, he already knew what he wanted to say next before he even finished speaking.
I still lamented that he still had to prepare for a rainy day in everything he did before.
How could such an emperor not understand the seriousness of the problems he just mentioned?
Could it be that he is thinking of some plans that even he could not think of?
While Zhang Kuang was thinking rapidly, Young Master Liu, who was wandering back and forth, suddenly stopped.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Kuang immediately came to his senses.
Liu Mingzhi rolled up his tobacco bag and pinned it to his waist, and looked towards Zhang Kuang with a faint smile.
"Uncle, are you the only one who thinks about these issues you just mentioned?
Or do you all think so?"
When Zhang Kuang heard Liu Dashao's inquiry, his expression suddenly lit up, and the complicated emotions in his heart disappeared instantly.
As expected, His Majesty is still the same as before and has not changed in any way.
Still as smart as ever, still as far-sighted as ever.
Arrogantly quickly collected his thoughts and immediately replied loudly: "Your Majesty, these questions are not just my thoughts.
The veteran brothers, as well as all the other brothers, all think so.
Regarding these matters, I have discussed these matters in detail more than once in the past two years.
After dozens of discussions, I finally came to the same answer."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and took a sip of wine with a smile.
Then, he asked with great interest: "Oh? What kind of answer."
"Your Majesty, the countries in the west are a serious thorn in my side, the Great Dragon Celestial Empire."
"A serious problem in your heart?"
"Your Majesty, that's right."
"So serious?"
"Exactly!"
"Uncle, please tell me what you think about this young master. How should we, the Great Dragon Celestial Empire, deal with such a serious threat?
In other words, how should I, the current emperor of the Great Dragon and the king of a country, handle this?"
Upon hearing Mr. Liu's straightforward question, Zhang Kuang's body shook violently, and his expression suddenly became hesitant.
"Your Majesty, this... this... this..."
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly when he saw the hesitant expression on Zhang Kuang's face.
"What? Haven't you guys discussed a result yet?"
"Your Majesty, no, I already have a rough idea."
"Now that you have a general idea, let's talk about it."
Hearing this, Zhang Kuang curled his lips a few times and glanced hesitantly at Qi Yun, the Queen, Qing Lian and the other sisters, Xiao Keai, Gu Mo Lan Ya, Song Qing, Liu Song and the others.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Qi Yun, the third princess, the queen, Huyan Yunyao and the rest of the sisters were so far apart that they looked at each other wildly. They looked at each other and stood up from the stone table in unison.
Immediately, all the beauties bowed to Liu Dashaofu.
"Husband, after we sisters arrived at the palace, we haven't had a good tour of our future residence.
Now we sisters have almost rested, so we plan to walk around the palace first and familiarize ourselves with the palace environment in advance.
So that we don’t know everything at the time and make some jokes again.”
"Yes, yes, in order to make life easier in the future, it would be better for us to familiarize ourselves with the environment in the palace in advance."
"Husband, you and your uncle can continue chatting. My sisters will go to other places first."
Gumo Rongrong smiled brightly and turned to look at her sister Gumo Lanya.
"Lanya, you also go for a walk with your sister."
"Yeah, little sister understands."
Qi Ya straightened her clothes and glanced at the little cutie with a smile.
"Yue'er."
The little cutie suddenly stood up after hearing her Aunt Ya's soft words.
"Hey, Yue'er is here, Aunt Ya, what's the matter?"
"Yue'er, please come too.
If you see a palace you like more, just tell your mothers directly.
As long as you like it, you can live wherever you want, and your mothers will never compete with you.
When the time comes, after the mothers have taken over all the good places to live, you stinky girl will continue to accuse us mothers of not caring for you.
This time, I’ll let you pick first and let’s see what faults you, a stinky girl, can find in the future.”
After listening to Qi Ya'e's words, the little cutie turned around and glanced at Young Master Liu. The two of them looked at each other wildly and nodded with a smile.
"Hey, Yue'er knows, thank you all, mothers."
"Husband, we sisters will take Yue'er to visit other places in the palace first.
We will come back soon after we become familiar with the environment in the palace."
After Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment, he looked at a group of ladies, cuties, and his sister-in-law, Melanya, and smiled lightly, waving his hand.
"Okay, then you sisters, let's go for a walk first."
