After receiving the news, Song Mu was so shocked that he felt dazed for a moment, and his mind was even more confused.
Because in this way, it can explain a lot of things, why demons suddenly appear everywhere, why there are so many hostility between the demon clans in Western Xinjiang and Eastern Xinjiang, and the human race caught between them. Even with the literary and imperial examinations,
Waiting for the great weapon to cultivate talents, it still has a hard time surviving.
As the source of power under the magical conditions of this world, the sky star has also established the pattern of this world.
Is it precisely because of this situation that Wen Chao could only be in such an embarrassing position?
Song Mu's mind was a bit shaken at the moment. He just felt that he couldn't deal with the situation in his mind for a while. He even thought that he was really too naive and that he really took some things for granted?
Li Ao looked at Song Mu's stunned expression. He just let out a little breath and waved away the hazy scene in front of him. The next moment, Song Mu's palace examination paper appeared in his hand.
After calming down for a while, Li Ao took the paper and said to Song Mu.
"Song Aiqing, but this does not mean that there is no perfect path for mankind. The article you wrote did indeed touch the destiny and caused some turmoil in the demon country, so there may be something surprising in it."
Song Mu came back to his senses after hearing these words. He gathered his thoughts and carefully thought about all the things that had just happened. At this moment, he raised his hands and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I understand. It's because I'm ignorant of world affairs and made random comments."
Li Ao shook his head at the moment, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. He seemed to know that Song Mu was too ashamed of his talk just now, so he immediately opened his mouth to explain.
"What I'm talking about is just to let you know the overall situation. What's more, I'm saying that this shipping matter cannot be solved overnight."
"But I also said that Aiqing's article is indeed extraordinary, so I cannot miss this opportunity."
As he said this, Li Ao's eyes suddenly flashed, as if he had his own views on this situation.
"I came to see you today, firstly, because I want to know the true meaning of this, and secondly, I want to think about a decent and appropriate way to do it."
"Then we will proceed step by step. Based on my plans with all the ministers, there may be something extraordinary in the future."
After hearing these words, Song Mu immediately felt admiration in his heart. Li Ao was worthy of being the king of the Wen Dynasty. His way of looking at problems was already very sophisticated, and he could walk slowly after making up his mind.
It is in stark contrast to his eagerness for quick success just now.
However, Song Mu felt a little more relaxed at the moment. After all, it seemed that His Majesty still supported his remarks. In this way, his future ambitions would still be feasible.
Song Mu nodded and pondered at the moment, thinking carefully about the contents, hoping to give himself a very reliable and beneficial start with this method.
Therefore, Song Mu no longer made comments without thinking as before. Instead, he pondered deeply and continued to calculate and deliberate in his heart.
When Li Ao saw Song Mu's expressions and movements, he also showed some appreciation in his expression.
These are the kind of people who can check the Holy Will, change things immediately and think deeply about it, are what they really want.
Song Mu's previous words really made Li Ao feel bad. He felt that although Song Mu was a gentleman, he was a gentleman above the clouds. He only saw one side of things in the world, and it might be difficult for him to be dignified.
But now it seems that the current action may have been his over-intention and blurted it out. After careful consideration, he may have a different answer.
Being able to guide a talent back on track, Li Ao appreciated this very much. He sat down again and drank tea, then quietly waited for Song Mu to finish thinking.
After a long time, just when Li Ao was about to ask Song Mu to go back and think carefully for a few days before answering, Li Ao suddenly saw Song Mu step forward and hold hands with him.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if this method can be put to good use?"
Li Ao immediately cheered up, his eyes filled with hope again.
Song Mu looked at his Zhang Ce theory paper on the table, and this time he pointed at it and said to Li Ao.
"Your Majesty has also seen this article. It states that the Yan people are suffering. I thought it would be better to start with the Yan people."
"Oh? How do you put it?"
Li Ao was a little confused about this, but motioned to Song Mu to continue.
"The suffering of the salt people is that they have no farming or weaving, and they only make money by boiling salt. However, the monopoly on salt and iron in our dynasty is a policy of governing the country, which cannot be disobeyed, so we can only start by focusing on the food and clothing of the salt people."
Li Ao frowned and said in a deep voice.
"There is no fertile land left along the coast. Moreover, sea salt is what our Wen Dynasty needs and must not be cut off."
Song Mu quickly handed over his hand.
"Then His Majesty may allow him to go fishing in the sea and dive into the sea to retrieve pearls."
"Except for the amount required for boiling salt, you can sell whatever you get from the sea by yourself, and all the profits will belong to the people."
Hearing this, Li Ao felt that he heard something different, and his expression was slightly raised.
"Nowadays, in the shallow sea, there are people who make a living by fishing, but where it meets the deep sea, the people are frightened by the monsters and dare not cross over rashly. But as far as I know, as long as they don't go into the sea with boats, they are almost afraid of fishing.
nothing."
"Many salt people are desperate. If the government can support fishing boats to go to sea this time, they will definitely go there."
There was danger in Song Mu's remarks. Although Li Ao frowned slightly, he seemed to accept this opinion.
But at the moment, he still asked Song Mu with some confusion.
"But is this really possible?"
"I don't dare to speak nonsense. Your Majesty still needs to discuss it with all your lords before making a decision. But what I said is only the first step."
Song Mu felt a little more confident at this moment and said calmly.
"The so-called rare treasures found in the sea are also extraordinary. If they can be profitable, people will be willing to go to the sea to look for them."
"This seafood incident is the first step for our people to invade the sea territory."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If the monster clan is writhing in the meantime, we will take some measures to restrain the people, and frankly admit that the people's will is difficult to overcome, and we will also severely punish the monsters that harm the people for no reason.
Therefore, the demon clan is tired and if they have no intention of fighting, they will have no choice but to let it go."
Having said this, Song Mu looked up at Li Ao and then spoke.
"In this case, we can also train the navy of Wen Dynasty to go out to sea to fight. As long as we can scare monsters in shallow seas everywhere, the sea transportation will be smooth."
At that moment, Li Ao looked at Song Mu, seeming to have some thoughts in his heart.
"Such an action, if the demon clan intercepts and kills countless people, it will definitely stop all the people. In addition, the palace examination is about to be shaken, and the whole world knows it. If the demon clan learns about this plan from now on, maybe it will fail?"
When Song Mu heard this, he immediately thought about it for a moment, and then said something to Li Ao in a deep voice.
"This matter has not been considered carefully, but now, there is a way to take risks."
"Your Majesty, what would happen if we widely publicized the news that we were about to obtain an article that touched the fate of Qi, but did not say what the content was?"
After hearing this, Li Ao immediately raised his eyes, and his expression was already a bit excited at this moment.
Li Ao also thought about the method Song Mu mentioned, but when he thought about it again, he had a different feeling.
Although there have been changes, the Wen Dynasty has mobilized troops and horses everywhere, so the demon clan must have doubts and concerns.
As for the Yan People's matter, His Majesty is considerate of the people's sentiments, and everything goes as planned.
Then we will make so-called changes in other places...
Li Ao stood up immediately. There seemed to be some appreciation on his face at this moment, but Song Mu looked at Li Ao seriously again, raised his hands and said.
"The so-called salt people are just a temporary solution, but if it wants to last long, Your Majesty has to let the demon clan know some of these things."
"As for the so-called development of maritime transport to relieve the worries of water transport, Weichen thinks it will be a good excuse."
After hearing this, Li Ao's expression was already somewhat surprised.
He originally thought that Song Mu had finished what he said. Although there were shortcomings, it was still remarkable. However, he did not expect that Song Mu would have such a layer of emptiness and reality.
The Yao Clan must be clear about water transportation, and they must have some conclusions about what they do on the sea, but they don't know that what the Wen Dynasty needs is sea power.
"So, is there really a plan for this future sea power matter?"
Li Ao asked again.
Song Mu's eyes flickered a little, and he just said something softly.
"Your Majesty has planted a seed of eternity. It is a foregone conclusion that when he goes to sea, who can know that the monster clan of the East China Sea will be powerful forever? And in the future Wen Dynasty, who can know that the ships driven by mortals will not be able to survive?"
Killing monsters in the sea?"
Li Ao looked at Song Mu intently. At this moment, his mind was a little confused, and he felt that Song Mu seemed to have a unique temperament at this moment.
