Iron Dynasty

The sky gradually dimmed, and the lanterns in the corridor were lit one by one by the eunuchs, emitting a dim color.

Wang Xuan and Li San were excited by Xiao Ming’s analysis. Wang Xuan’s complexion was red. “The emperor said that most of the grain and grass of the country of Wa arrived in Korea by sea from the mainland of Wa. As long as the sea food road of Wa was cut off, Wa. The army in Goryeo will be trapped to death. If the emperor wants to establish a trading port in Goryeo, he can use this to discuss with Goryeo and the Wa country, so that it can make both sides.

Xiao Ming had a smile on his face. For him, all he needed was the market of Korea, and he had no interest in occupying Korea.

Because once it falls into a land war, the cost of the war will be huge. Now the industrialization of the six states has just begun, and he does not have enough materials and money to occupy a country.

In fact, in the colonial wars of the maritime era, no Western powers completely occupied the colonies.

In fact, they only established a small number of ports in colonial countries, signed indefinite treaties, used these ports as export destinations for commodities, and then threatened the colonial countries with force to formulate policies that suit their interests.

During their occupation, they generally would not interfere too much in the internal affairs of colonial countries, and would only support the powerful and powerful to rule the colonies on behalf of their own interests.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. For example, India’s Asan was completely reduced to a British colony, but even so, Britain did not participate in too specific national affairs, but sucked the economic resources of this region back to Britain like blood sucking. State management is still too lazy to bother.

Therefore, the fundamental purpose of colonization is to absorb economic benefits from the colonized country, not to occupy the land. Once the cause and effect are reversed, it may be enough to drag the country down by falling into the quagmire of war.

The longer Xiao Ming stayed in the position of the emperor, the more he could realize the limits of a country’s power. It is already very difficult to project power to the world, and it is even more difficult to occupy the whole world, so he decided to adopt Britain first. Colonial style, accumulation of primitive capital, after all, nothing can be done without money.

After pondering for a while, he said to Wang Xuan: “It’s too early to fight a battle. Neither Goryeo nor Wa will have talks with Da Yuguo. You let the secret guards in Goryeo keep an eye on the news of Goryeo and keep intelligence Pass it back."

"Yes, the emperor." Wang Xuan nodded.

Speaking of the secret guard news, Xiao Ming continued to ask: "How is your investigation into the case of the Intrepid being shelled?"

"Back to the emperor, the next official sent back information from Nagasaki's eyeliner. On the second day after the Intrepid was shelled, a British warship arrived in Nagasaki, the country of Japan. This British warship was allegedly called the Duke."

"Sure enough, I went to the country of Japan." Xiao Ming looked at the country of Japan on the map. The history is always surprisingly similar. Now Xiao Ming understands this deeply.

With the help of the Dutch, the Japanese nation in this time and space has established a powerful firearms force. Now the British once again extended an olive branch to the Japanese nation, with only one purpose, which is to use the Japanese nation to balance the balance of East Asia.

"Have you heard about their specific cooperation?" Xiao Ming asked.

"No, the British went ashore and met Nobunaga Yamada directly. We couldn't get in touch." Wang Xuan was a little regretful, but the eyes of the Wa country were often maritime merchants, and they couldn't reach the top.

"Your secret guards need to increase their investment in the Japanese country, and even build a professional work. You can even buy some Japanese people into the work." Xiao Ming reminded.

In modern times, the Japanese nation is very good at spying warfare. During each war, the Japanese nation will send a large number of spies to collect information.

It is said that the map of the Japanese people during the Anti-Japanese War was even more detailed than the map.

Coming from modern times, Xiao Ming naturally cannot give this advantage to the Japanese nation, so he must start a spy war in advance to collect all-round intelligence on the Japanese nation.

Wang Xuan was a little embarrassed, he said: "The emperor, the lower officials also think, but this silver..."

Xiao Ming was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Although he thought a lot, he couldn't do it without enough money.

Thinking of this strengthened his aspirations to set up industries and colonize the world.

After coughing, he said to Wang Xuan: "I will try to allocate some silver for you."

Wang Xuan then showed a look of joy.

After giving Wang Xuan a reassurance, Xiao Ming looked at Li San, and he said, "Li San, this reform will be implemented right away, you, I will stare at the few giants in Qingzhou, if they play something, you Report to me immediately."

"Yes, the emperor." Li San nodded.

After reporting the information, the two congratulated Xiao Ming again before returning. Now the Queen’s birth of the dragon has spread throughout Qingzhou City.

At this moment, Qingzhou officials and businessmen kept sending people to congratulate them, and gifts were sent to the hall one by one.

After a busy day, Xiao Ming was also a little tired. It was getting late and he returned to the sleeping hall. Fei Yue'er was a little weak now, so he wanted to accompany her more.

After a rest night, Xiao Ming woke up early the next day. Fiji and Pang Yukun were responsible for the implementation of the reform. His task was to promote the establishment of the industrial system and the development of science and technology.

For him, both military technology and civilian technology are now deformed in Qingzhou, because everything in the past five years has only served the military, which has caused industrial capabilities to gradually fail to keep up with technological development.

For example, for this smokeless gunpowder, although Lu Tong has mastered the production method, this kind of production still only stays in the laboratory production method, and the real industrial production cannot be realized.

Except for this smokeless gunpowder~www.wuxiaspot.com~, many chemicals in the laboratory are now unable to be mass-produced. The Xiao Ming Reform is to set up corresponding workshops one by one to realize industrial production under steam power.

This includes not only the production of chemical materials, but also the industrial production of firearms and machinery. For him, the industrialization of the country has fallen behind, and now it is the critical period to catch up.

After all, steam engines have also been developed in the West. With the industrial foundation of Western countries, once steam engines are used, they will be installed quickly.

After a simple breakfast, Xiao Ming changed into a casual dress and went to the glass workshop. At the same time he made a list of the science and technology of the country of Da Yu.

This list contains the technologies currently available in Western countries but not in Da Yu. Now Lin Wentao and others are busy, and there are some things that can only be done by the emperor himself, and he is also quite good at it.

The first place he went to today was the glass workshop. The same tools were produced in the glass workshop a few times ago, but it should be manufactured at this time.

Although this thing has nothing to do with war, it is very beneficial to the development of science and technology.
