Chapter 425 Lord Taishan’s Purpose
at this time.
Xia Tian's fighting spirit was striking, as if he was about to pierce the roof and soar into the sky.
That is the fearless fighting spirit that only those who have experienced countless bloody battles can have.
In the study, I was silent for a moment.
"Hahaha......"
Sima Jian touched the three wisps of green beard on his forehead and laughed: "Okay! Very good!"
"It's worthy of Mei'er's love for you."
"A child like you is worthy of their sisters' love!"
Sima Jian exhaled his depression and breathed: "This time, your battle in the deserted state is shocking. Although it is a reward for the court, it is exciting to save me for twenty years of national humiliation."
"Come on, as the left prime minister of the court, I will use tea instead of wine, and I will toast you a cup!"
Looking at Sima Jian's passion, Xia Tian was not pretentious and took a sip of hot tea: "The son-in-law once said that those who offend my territory - kill!"
"The son-in-law just did what a prince of Daxia should do."
Seeing that Xia Tian was neither humble nor arrogant, Sima Jian's eyes were even more appreciative and sighed: "If all the ministers of Daxia were like you, why worry about my Daxia being not strong!"
Speaking of this, his eyes looked lonely: "It's a pity that except for the few people including Taiwei Li, there are all courageless people in the court."
"I remember when the Former Qin Dynasty destroyed the Eight Kingdoms. I saw that your grandfather acted in a harsh manner and liked to stop killing, so I led the Sima family to hide from the world, and kept the family safe and became a rich man, and guarded the wealth of his ancestors. I never thought of becoming an official.
”
"Later, the Daxia Dynasty replaced the Qin Dynasty. When your father and emperor took office, he was respectful to the wise and ruthless, and did not start a big killing. He won the favor of the people of the world, married your mother, and completed the alternation of power."
"At the beginning, your father came to ask me to come out of the mountain, with a sincere face and ambition, and wanted to build Daxia into the most powerful empire in the world."
"This is consistent with my ambition!"
"I am grateful for his sincerity and came out to be the left prime minister of the Daxia Dynasty. I also helped him settle the hearts of all the families in the world, laying the foundation of the Daxia Dynasty in the shortest time!"
Xia Tian didn't interrupt, just listened quietly.
Because Sima Jian is laying the groundwork.
Sima Jian continued: "After the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, your father still had great ambitions and wanted to make the Great Xia national strength stronger through reforms."
"Unfortunately, the relationship between the two countries in the court is complicated, and the relationship between teachers and students is endless, and it is still chaotic, so the reform cannot be carried out."
"The ministers in the court formed cliques, internal struggles, internal struggles, and external struggles. As long as they involve their own interests, they will take risks and prevent the imperial decrees from being implemented."
"The central court is even more divided from the local governments, and the government orders are not smooth, which has caused the national strength to decline rapidly!"
"Later, your father adopted the feudal system, enfeoffed the princes to Jiuzhou and guard the imperial court, hoping that this would make the government orders more smooth."
"But, the nine sons of the emperor today, except for you who have been enduring in the palace for many years, the other eight princes are all unbearable people. They are all incompetent and want to be the princes. They each develop their own power in the court and let the court be in the court.
The internal friction is even more serious.”
"Now, the Great Xia Dynasty has exhausted the national strength left by the Former Qin Dynasty and has become the weakest empire on this continent."
Sima Jian walked to the door of the study, looked at the direction of the palace and sighed: "And over the years, your father has been obsessed with immortality, and has emptied the national treasury for this, which has made the financial situation of the Great Xia Dynasty even worse!"
"Otherwise, the treasury would not have taken out 10 million taels of silver, and would have to be taxed."
Xia Tian asked curiously: "How much money did the father move the treasury to live forever?"
Sima Jian turned around and said with a serious expression: "At least tens of millions of taels per year!"
"That's why the court is so difficult!"
Xia Tian shook his head and said, "That means that the taxes collected by each state every year are not enough for the father's flower?"
Sima Jian nodded with heartache: "Ten years ago, he even sent people to sea to find the elixir of immortality. In order to build a sea ship, he spent countless money, which almost caused the Great Xia Empire to collapse!"
"What kind of sea boat?"
Sima Jian's eyes were full of memories: "The sea ship is called the treasure ship, with four layers, 44 feet long and 18 feet wide. There are nine masts on the ship, and twelve sails can be hung, and the anchors are several thousand kilograms. At least
It takes 200 people to set sail, it’s huge and boundless!”
Summer was shocked!
In other words, if it is converted into meters, the length of the treasure ship reaches meter and the width reaches 61.6 meters!
The treasure ship and the name of the ship once appeared in China. It was a giant created by Zheng He during his Ming Dynasty voyage to the West. It once dominated the sea and was unrivaled.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, the sea was forbidden, and the method of making treasure ships was burned, making it difficult to build treasure ships.
"Is the one who built this treasure ship still there?"
Sima Jian nodded: "Here!"
"It's Mozi!"
"His shipbuilding skills were learned from the strange man, the master of the Jixia Academy, and the structure of the treasure ship was also drawn by the strange man," he said.
Xia Tian's eyes were bright: "Where is the drawings of the treasure ship?"
Sima Jian: "In the hands of contemporary Mohist giants!"
"Where are the contemporary Mohist geniuses?"
“Pealing in the hall.”
"He is the confidant of the emperor and does not leave the worship hall easily. After the treasure ship went to sea, I have not seen him for ten years!"
At this moment, Xia Tian fell into deep thought!
Who is the strange man, who knows the small seal script of the Qin Dynasty, knows a little poetry, a little school of thought but is not good at it, and also builds treasure ships?
"Sir Taishan, have the treasure ship returned after it went out to sea?"
Sima Jian shook his head: "No!"
"Later, Your Majesty was looking forward to the return of the treasure ship every day, and was indifferent to the government. He went to the worship hall all day long to study the affairs of the Jixia underground palace, and wanted to open the palace gate and obtain the elixir of immortality inside."
Xia Tian was not surprised: "So, Lord Taishan also knew about the Jixia underground palace under the worship hall."
"certainly!"
Sima Jian smiled meaningfully: "Anyone who has been passed down from the Jixia Academy era to the current aristocratic families, we know it!"
"The legend of the elixir of immortality is very tempting!"
"Do you know the Rebirth Church?"
"I know what the Father said!"
Sima Jian then said: "Recently, I have received news that the people of the Rebirth Sect have begun to operate in the imperial capital."
"So, what I want to tell you is that this time, the Tianlang Empire, the Barbarian Empire, the Black Man Empire, and the Sweat-blooded Kingdom will definitely cause chaos in the imperial capital. If you want to escape unscathed, this is a good opportunity!
”
Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "I am building a road to the south of the deserted state. At the end of the 100,000 mountains is the sea. This time I go, my son-in-law wants to take away the information of the treasure ship!"
Sima Jian nodded: "This is also the reason why I told you the treasure ship."
"The picture of the treasure ship casting is also a waste to put it in the hands of the Mo family giant. Only when it is placed in your hands will it be of great use!"
"After you get the drawings of the treasure ship this time, you will build a ship immediately and make a ship when Mei'er leaves the country next year."
"At that time, you can take their sisters on the boat together, bring your confidants and enough food to find an island to live overseas!"
"Don't come back!"
At this moment, Xia Tian suddenly realized!
After saying so much, it turned out to be planning their family's retreat: "Master Taishan, you really don't believe it... Can the son-in-law block the attack of the Tianlang Empire and the attack of Daxia next year?"
Sima Jian shook his head flatly: "It's not that I don't believe it!"
"But if you tell this, no one in the world dares to believe it!"
"You can't stand the attack from the two imperial capitals!"
"Even if you are really a saint, it's not possible!"
"Build a ship, go overseas!"
Summer no longer argues.
Some things need to be proved by a strong army.
"Master Taishan, how can we lead the Mohist master?"
Sima Jian's eyes lit up: "He has an illegitimate daughter named Mo Shui'er, who is exactly sixteen years old this year. She is a popular candidate for the top ten beauties in the world this year... You can start with her!"
"Do you understand?"
Xia Tian nodded: "I understand!"
Chapter completed!
