Chapter 577 Father, Weapon(1/2)
There is a place rich in silver and gold...
Emperor Hongzhi pondered: "Do you know the location of the Jinshan Silver Mine?"
Zhao Ce nodded and pointed to one of the islands.
"Mr. Zhu, have you ever thought about why more and more Japanese slaves are making trouble in our coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Because there is a large-scale war going on in their country, many of these Japanese slaves came from the defeated countries."
Zhu Houzhao asked confused: "What does the war in Japan have to do with us?"
Zhao Ce said thiefly: "Because the location of this big gold mine and big silver mine is within the territory of Japan!"
"As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness and kill him."
"I have hurt so many people in Ming Dynasty, so I have to ask them to get some back?"
"They are probably already mining the gold mine, so of course it's not impossible to rob it."
"But that silver mine should not have been discovered yet."
"Oh!" Zhu Houzhao nodded in agreement.
"That's right!"
"It's time to get some back."
"Hey, but speaking of which, how do you know that Japan has Jinshan Silver Mine?"
"And it's a silver mine that the Japanese slaves didn't even discover."
Zhao Ce's lies came out casually.
"Well, we also have coastal areas over there. I have read some travel notes in ancient books."
"There are probably some records on it."
"Although it is an ancient book, the contents recorded in it should be true."
Zhu Houzhao asked: "Where is the ancient travel book? Can you lend it to me to read?"
Zhao Ce readily agreed.
"Okay, but I went on a long trip and didn't bring it with me."
"Today I will repair a book and ask my family to help find it."
"When I find it, I'll lend it to you."
Zhu Houzhao said happily: "That's good."
"It even has the location of the Jinshan Silver Mine. The author of this book must be a knowledgeable and talented person, right?"
"I don't know who he is..."
"The shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty was so advanced, maybe he was a Song Dynasty person?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhao Ce, always feeling a little suspicious.
Ancient travel notes?
There was nothing wrong with Zhao Ce's words, but as the king of a country, he always felt that something was wrong.
Zhao Ce changed the topic and said: "After we dig up the silver in the Japanese country, we can use the silver to trade weapons with the Folangji people at a low price."
"After the weapons are exchanged and we study all their weapons thoroughly, our Ming navy can basically run rampant in the ocean!"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his blood suddenly boiled.
Running rampant in the ocean!
He said excitedly: "Is Fo Langji's weapon so powerful?"
Zhao Ce nodded: "When I was on the road before, I saw Fo Langji's ship at the port of Guangzhou."
"At that time, I probably took a look at the weapons they equipped on the ship."
"It seems different from ours..."
In fact, after Zhao Ce traveled through time, he had never seen ancient cannons and other weapons.
What I use is also a cold weapon.
The French ship we saw last time at the port of Guangzhou also had its weapons put away.
But this did not prevent him from using his inherent knowledge to deceive Zhu Houzhao in front of him.
Zhu Houzhao was indeed extremely emotional.
He turned to look at his father.
"Father, father, weapons!"
"Why don't we prepare some weapons that are different from ours and come back to study them?"
Emperor Hongzhi twitched his lips.
Buy weapons?
If Liu Gong hears about this, tomorrow will not be as peaceful as today's discussion of the sea ban in Nuange.
Tomorrow, my desk will probably be filled with a pile of thick memorials describing the evils.
Moreover, the Ministry of War does not agree to purchase weapons, even if the emperor says so, it will be useless.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed inwardly.
Putting all these questions behind him, Emperor Hongzhi said to Zhao Ce: "Can I take this policy report home and read it?"
Zhao Ce said generously: "I have copied a copy. If Mr. Zhu is interested in this copy, feel free to take it."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded, put the things away, and handed them to Zhu Hui who was standing next to him.
Zhu Hui didn't even look at it and kept it on his body.
Zhao Ce looked at their actions and smiled knowingly.
As a time traveler, what he wanted from the beginning was to live a peaceful life.
However, he was kidnapped at that time and later encountered a rebellion by the rebels.
I still have the ability to help suppress the rebellion and protect the things I care about.
However, what if one day, this rebellion extends beyond the confines of their capital city?
Just like the countless histories he knew in his previous life.
Everyone knows the truth about lips dying and teeth cold...
To live and work in peace and contentment, the first thing is to have a stable living environment.
Later, when he came to the capital and was in the center of the times, Zhao Ce understood this sentence more deeply.
As a person who knows history, he may not care about his descendants.
But Zhao Ce thought that he could do something for this dynasty now.
Of course, when doing all this, the first thing he has to do is to protect himself and his family.
Now the key to open Pandora's box is in the hands of today's emperor.
Whether to use it or not depends on what the emperor, who was highly regarded by later generations, thought about it.
The three of them talked for a long time, and the sun outside began to set.
After the excitement and excitement, Zhu Houzhao also touched his drumming belly at the right time.
"I'm hungry, why don't we eat first?"
"The rest of the things will be discussed later?"
Zhao Ce smiled and nodded, calling for someone to prepare the meal.
Then he got up and walked to Su Cai'er in the corner.
"Done?"
Su Cai'er put down the needle and thread in her hand and stood up.
After listening to many people's conversations, Su Cai'er was confused by the words that kept popping out of her husband's mouth.
She reached out and rubbed her aching lower back, suppressing the urge to stretch a little.
A warm big hand reached behind Su Cai'er's back and rubbed it with moderate force.
"My waist is sore after sitting for so long."
Zhao Ce blocked Su Cai'er with his whole body, and Su Cai'er couldn't see Mr. Zhu and his son over there.
She whispered: "I'm a little sore, thank you husband."
Zhao Ce rubbed her gently and said with a smile: "Let's go, I will take you to the back so that we can prepare for dinner."
As soon as Su Cai'er heard that it was time to eat, she immediately packed her things happily.
