The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 290 The idea of ​​forming a navy

"Master Lin indeed has this ability. The [-] troops will definitely destroy Tubo within one month!" Lin Tiangui said.

Crazy, all crazy.

If it weren't for the dream, I'm afraid the prince would also go crazy.

What did Lin Hai show them a few days ago to make him so confident?

Even Chen Deyong couldn't help but look at each other.

The Queen Mother has decreed that the imperial court will purchase their crude iron and pay 10 taels of silver in advance.

It shows that the Queen Mother approves of Lin Hai's weapons.

But even they don't believe that Tubo can be defeated in a short time.

"My lord, you can lead troops to fight all year round. You should know how powerful the Tibetan army is. I, Daxia, cannot easily defeat them!" the prime minister said solemnly.

"That was before. Now our army in Daxia is extremely powerful, and it is easy to defeat the Turks. I guarantee Lin Hai that we can defeat the Tubo!"

Seeing what Lin Tiangui had said, the prime minister naturally couldn't continue the argument.

Lin Tiangui is the God of War in Daxia, and no one knows military affairs better than him.

Suddenly, all the ministers felt that the Queen Mother, Lin Tiangui, and Lin Hai had become unpredictable.

Daxia had become so powerful that they didn't notice it at all.

They originally thought that the imperial court would be unable to do anything without them.

But now I feel extremely scared. These ministers seem to have become dispensable.

They all felt great anxiety from the eyes of their own people.

The Queen Mother must have unimaginable power in her hands.

This kind of power makes them extremely afraid.

Could it be that Lin Tiangui was excluded from the court on purpose and was used to paralyze them?

If so, it is really terrible.

After defeating all enemy countries one day, wouldn't the next step be to deal with them?

No matter which dynasty, powerful officials never end well.

Originally they wanted to deal with Lin Hai, but everyone felt a huge crisis.

It felt like a huge boulder was pressing on my heart, making me unable to breathe.

Daxia is really going to change, and it will become extremely strange to these ministers.

"Let's stop the discussion now. I will summon the Tibetan envoy tomorrow!" Gong Yanwu said calmly.

Before Lin Hai had gone far, a eunuch came over.

"Master Lin, the Queen Mother invites you to visit her in the palace and have a meal together."

"Oh!"

When he heard that he was going to the palace, Lin Hai understood in his heart.

I have been too busy in the past two days to spend time with her.

Get caught at every opportunity.

Lin Hai came to the palace, and sure enough, all the servants had gone out.

Gong Yanwu smiled: "Come and sit down, I'll ask the imperial kitchen to stew ginseng and black chicken soup for you. How does it taste?"

"Such a supplement, I'm afraid I'll get a nosebleed after drinking it!" Lin Hai was not polite, sat next to Gong Yanwu, and stretched out his arms to hug her.

"Hmph, you haven't taken the initiative to come to me for so many days. Have you spent all your energy on that girl Chen Xi?" Gong Yanwu was full of jealousy.

On the surface, he promised Lin Hai and Princess Chenxi, but he was still jealous in his heart.

"I've been busy in the military camp these days, and I didn't get home until almost midnight. It's not what you said!"

Gong Yanwu was immediately overjoyed and personally brought some food to Lin Hai's mouth.

"This time you received the Tibetan envoys and you really gained face for Daxia. I don't know how long it has been since Daxia was so majestic."

"Don't worry, when the next war happens, the whole world will be shocked."

"Well, I believe you can do it." Lin Hai remembered something important.

"By the way, I really want to discuss something with you." Lin Hai said.

"Just say whatever you want, and still be polite to me!"

"I want to build a ship, and a very large sea ship. With a sea ship, I can travel across the ocean and conquer the countries on the other side of the sea."

"And when I think of Daxia becoming prosperous, it's not enough to just defeat the enemy and make money. The yield of food is too low. We must find high-yielding food.

An acre of land weighs at least a thousand kilograms, and some even weigh several thousand kilograms. "

"With such good food, people not only don't have to go hungry, but they can also raise more children."

"With more people, we can build a stronger army."

Gong Yanwu didn't believe it, "The harvest from the best fields is only five to six hundred catties, and most of it is three to four hundred catties. How can there be crops in this world that can produce several thousand catties per mu?"

"Don't believe it, it really does exist. These crops have names, they are sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn."

Gong Yanwu's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

He tilted his head and looked at Lin Hai: "Are you telling the truth? How did you learn about this kind of thing?"

Of course, Lin Hai couldn't say that he was a person who traveled through time.

I can only make up an excuse.

"I once met an expert who once traveled to far away places in Southeast Asia. She saw crops like this, which are very high-yielding. A family only needs to plant a few acres of land to provide enough food for the whole family for a year.

However, those small countries are very strict and do not allow planting to be taken out.

This man felt deeply regretful and told me that I must find a way to bring this food during my lifetime.

By then the people of Daxia will no longer have to go hungry. "

Lin Hai finished a bite of venison and continued: "If you want to bring back such crops, you must form a powerful navy and conquer those countries so that you can successfully bring back high-yield food."

"I see, if there are such good crops, it will be my great blessing in the summer." Gong Yanwu was also very excited.

However, he looked embarrassed and said, "Building a navy costs a lot of money. It's impossible without thirty-five million taels of silver."

"Although my place has been a lot more generous recently, I'm afraid it's far from enough to form a new army."

"Don't worry, I also got a lot of money. Just use my money to build a navy. Although it's still not enough, I can make a lot of money by doing business with several enemy Turkic countries in the future.

Anyway, the ship cannot be built in a moment, just invest money every month.

You must know that those small countries are very weak, and you can make more money by defeating them.

You can make your money back soon. "

Lin Hai said with a smile.

"That's alright. I will do my best if I need to do anything. But the navy should still be led by you." Gong Yanwu said.

"Okay, although I don't know much about naval warfare, I just need to slowly explore it."

The two of them finished talking and finished a table of dishes.

Especially after drinking the ginseng and black-bone chicken soup, Lin Hai was sweating profusely.

He picked up Gong Yanwu and said, "Let my husband love you well!"

……

After a long time, Lin Hai left the palace feeling refreshed.

He said to himself: "This thing is really good. Let Qiaoer make soup and drink it often in the future!"

The most important things have been resolved.

The next thing to do is to make more grenades.

The newly built workshops are all Lin Tiangui's cronies and are completely reliable.

In addition, here are just wooden handles and iron shells for making grenades.

The key gunpowder is still in the hands of Lin Hai's people, and they are not afraid of anyone stealing the formula.
