Molested Zulong at the beginning

There was a smile in Fu Su's beautiful eyes, and her red lips parted slightly: "Do you know, I have always regarded you as a scoundrel, a treacherous minister, a treacherous minister, gritted my teeth with hatred for you, and always wanted to defeat you, Take back power from you to prevent your power from growing beyond control."

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "Then what now?"

The corner of Fu Su's mouth curled up, her beautiful eyes narrowed once, she stretched out her slender fingers, and slowly moved down to touch Bai Su's chest.

Under Bai Su's bewildered gaze, she approached Bai Su's ear, and her red lips parted lightly: "You are still that annoying scoundrel with itchy teeth, but... I don't want to seize power with you anymore, you You can hold the power of the world as much as you want, and I... as long as I can hold your authority, that's enough."

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to feel something. He gasped, and looked at the smiling aunt in front of him in disbelief.

Chapter 430 How about a bet

The next day.

The bright sunlight poured in through the hollowed-out gaps in the doors and windows, and clothes and belts were scattered everywhere on the edge of the bed.

Bai Su woke up from his sleep, the touch of his big hand was soft, he frowned slightly, and opened his eyes to look.

Fu Su was lying on his chest, sleeping soundly, her blue hair was like a waterfall, and the begonia was sleeping in spring, it was too beautiful to behold.

I don't know if I let go of my prejudices, or if I finally found an excuse to convince myself.

Last night, Fu Su was very proactive.

It is obvious that she has a noble and elegant temperament in every gesture, which is very in line with etiquette, but in her bones, there is an urge to cross the line.

Why didn't Bai Su not expect that Fu Su, who always followed the Confucian etiquette and behaved like a lady, would take the initiative to make such a bold move.

This kind of feeling, like a piece of extremely clean white paper, with ink marks falling on it, made Bai Su feel a burst of amazement that he had never seen before.

For a time, the flames of war did not know how long the fierce battle lasted.

Now even after a period of rest, his physical strength and spirit have recovered a lot, but he still feels a sense of emptiness in his body.

A wry smile appeared on Bai Su's face. Sure enough, the more usually a bully, the more terrifying he would be if he fought back.

Unexpectedly, he, who has experienced many battles, was almost killed.

Looking at the tired Fusu in his arms, he couldn't help but get down, kissed his forehead, and then gently placed her on the bed.

When Fu Su was moved, he didn't notice it at all.

She is so tired.

After all, she has been holding a huge rock in her heart for such a long time, making her nervous all the time. Now after some in-depth exchanges, the pressure that has accumulated in her heart for a long time is released in an instant.

Now all the pressure in her body and mind has been completely let go, so that she can finally relax and sleep well.

Bai Su covered him with the quilt, turned over and got out of bed, went to the desk, and kept flipping through the map of the canals in Jiangdong, Chudi, all the way to Luoyang.

If you want to build a shipyard, the choice of location is very important.

After all, the waters in Guanzhong are insufficient, and the conditions here are not enough for shipbuilding. It is best to choose the area around the canal.

After a period of selection, Bai Su finally decided that it was better to build the shipyard in Luoyang.

Although the land of Jiangdong is better in terms of geographical conditions, it has only been initially developed after all, and it is not very convenient in terms of population size or transportation of materials.

After all, the trade of all countries in the world now travels all the way to Xianyang along the corridor of the Western Regions. As a result, the world's economy and population center of gravity are all concentrated in the North.

To choose a shipyard, it is natural to choose Luoyang in the Northland.

For one thing, the waters here are developed, and it is very convenient to transport materials from all over the place, and the surrounding population is also large, which is more convenient.

On the other hand, Luoyang's geographical location is extremely good, it can be called the center of the world's economy, the surrounding waters are everywhere, and the transportation is convenient.

Sitting on the natural danger of Hangu Pass, Xianyang is capable of both offense and defense in troubled times, so it can be said that it is the best candidate to win the world.

It may be inappropriate to conduct large-scale trade in a prosperous age.

After all, Xianyang's transportation is inconvenient, and the potential for trade is really limited.

Therefore, the shipyard was built in Luoyang as an admiration, vigorously developed overseas trade, and positioned as an economic and trade center.

And Xianyang is positioned as a military, political, and imperial examination center, which is a good choice.

While Bai Su was thinking, Yu Ji opened the door and walked in.

She pursed her lower lips lightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the giant of the Mohist family sent someone over to discuss something important with your lord."

Bai Su was taken aback, and couldn't help but said, "Juzi suddenly sent someone to look for me, could it be that there is some problem in shipbuilding?"

Yu Ji shook her head slightly: "I don't know the specific slave family, but according to the Mohist disciple, it seems to be related to funds."

Bai Su stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Could it be that he suddenly found out that he didn't have enough money?"

But it's normal to think about it.

The investment in this shipbuilding was huge, not to mention the blueprints he handed over to the Mohist giants, and even Zheng He's treasure ship, the scale is seven or eight times the size of the current Central Plains ships.

Coupled with the fact that the Central Plains has always been dominated by soldiers and iron horses, there is little experience in large-scale shipbuilding, and there are not many relevant talents. The cost of this early stage manufacturing is naturally an astronomical figure.

Of course, this is not something a small Mohist can afford.

After pondering for a moment, Bai Su said, "I see, let me go and see for myself."

"Yes……"

Yu Ji nodded slightly, and at the same time, she glanced at the sleeping beauty on the bed with her beautiful eyes, and gave Bai Su a strange look.

If she was not mistaken, this seemed to be His Royal Highness Fu Su, why did my sister-in-law appear on her brother-in-law's bed.

Although she was surprised for a while, she didn't say much.

This kind of complicated matter between the royal family is not something that a small concubine like her can worry about.

Besides, this is even a good thing for her.

After all, in the past, although the lord was high and powerful, he always had conflicts with His Royal Highness Fusu in the court.

This made her very worried, whether my lord will one day be exiled to a remote place like the powerful minister Lu Buwei in the past. After all, the courtiers will not be able to win against the emperor's daughter.

But now, looking at His Highness Fu Su who has fallen into a deep sleep, with a hint of youthful love remaining between his brows, she can finally let go of the worries in her heart.

At least you don't have to worry about being involved in royal family battles in the future.

......

......

Shaofu.

Ink supervisor.

This place is still the same as before. Before I went all the way, I heard a clanging sound coming from inside, obviously something was being made.

Bai Su pushed the door open and walked in. From a distance, he saw Mo Xun, a giant of the Mo family, wearing a blue skirt, biting his thumbnail, his beautiful brow furrowed, looking at the list in his hand.

She heard footsteps and looked up: "My lord, you are here."

Bai Su nodded, and asked with a smile, "But what happened?"

Mo Xun said bitterly: "My lord, the cost of the things needed for this shipbuilding is really too high. The keel needs to be made of Pulu, which is abundant in Baiyue. This kind of wood is as hard as steel."

"The deck needs to use a more flexible teak, which needs to be dispatched from the land of Bashu. In addition, it also needs a lot of resources, which need to be dispatched from all over the world."

"I applied to the imperial court, but the imperial court's expedition to the west of the Maurya Dynasty would cost too much, and the national treasury is not very rich for the time being, and the Mohist shipbuilding funds will be postponed for the time being..."

Seeing her sad face, Bai Su couldn't help being amused, but she wasn't surprised by what Sister Zheng did.

This led an army of 30 all the way to the mighty West Expedition.

Even if supplies were dispatched from the Western Regions, the logistical distance would be nearly thousands of miles. The entire Central Plains mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to support this war.

Almost half of the treasury's accumulation in recent years has been spent, and there is an urgent need to recuperate. There is really no way to go to war in this short period of time.

After all, as a monarch, Sister Zheng must first consider the stability of the people's livelihood in the country, and she needs to reserve a group of funds to deal with natural disasters or quell rebellions.

It is impossible to easily use these capitals to support the Mohists to build ships.

This made Mo Xun uncomfortable. All the conditions were ripe, but because he had no money, he had to stop working and wait impatiently.

This is like a general who has experienced many battles, seeing a famous horse that travels thousands of miles a day and [-] nights, but he can only look at it, but not touch it, it is really uncomfortable.

Mo Xun looked at Bai Su pitifully, "I wonder if my lord can support me?"

Bai Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're treating me like a local rich man. Although I have some money in the mansion, I want to mobilize the people and material resources of the world to build a fleet that can be compared to a country's most important weapon."

"Even if you emptied me out without leaving a single drop, it's not enough."

Mo Xun sighed in disappointment: "So, the construction of the treasure ship is really far away."

Bai Su stroked his chin, pondered for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, although I can't afford the money, but... I can let the rich people in the world come and send us money on their own initiative."

Mo Xun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "But others are not fools, how could they send money for nothing to help us build the treasure ship?"

Bai Su smiled mysteriously, and said, "In terms of technology, you may be unparalleled in the world, but in terms of business, you are far behind me."

"Let me teach you the first rule of business. Smart people always use other people's money to do their own affairs. In the end, they can make the other party feel grateful. Thank you."

Mo Xun's slender eyebrows frowned slightly: "I don't believe it, how can there be such a fool in the world?"

Bai Su smiled and said, "How about we make a bet?"

Mo Xun blinked his dark eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you betting on?"

The corner of Bai Su's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Just bet on whether I can do it. If you win, how about I agree to any of your requests?"

Mo Xun was stunned: "Then if I win, I will let you be my servant for a day, and let me order. Is such a request acceptable?"

Bai Su nodded, smiled and said, "Of course."

Mo Xun's expression was happy at first, and then he looked at Bai Su with some vigilance: "Then what is your request, my lord?"

After all, she has been in constant contact with Bai Su, and she knows very well that Bai Su has a bad stomach and often plots against others, and those envoys from foreign countries have suffered a lot.

Bai Su rubbed his chin, said with a smile: "You just need to change into a maid's clothes and pour wine for me."

Mo Xun couldn't believe it and said, "It's as simple as changing into a servant's clothes and serving wine?"

Bai Su thought about it for a while, the white silk stockings were put on Mo Xun's round and slender jade legs, and the image of her dressed like a maid kneeling in front of him and pouring wine for him could not help but show a smile on her face. smile.

Mo Xun tilted her head, she really couldn't think of any problem, so she nodded.

I don't know if it's her illusion, but I always feel that there is something wrong with the smile on Bai Su's face.

Chapter 430 Are These People Crazy?

After Mo Xun pondered for a long time, he couldn't help asking: "My lord, what are you going to do?"

Bai Su didn't explain directly, but raised a question: "In your opinion, where does this money come from?"

Mo Xun was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Bai Su asked this suddenly.

However, she still bit the nail on her thumb lightly, and said in a deep thought: "How much grain the peasants grow in a year, they get one for fifty, and how much goods are transported by the merchants. Every time they pass a checkpoint, a tax is collected."

"The imperial court used these collected taxes to prepare troops and horses, and to rectify the people's livelihood in the world."

Bai Su shook his head slightly: "Yes, but not entirely."

Mo Xun's beautiful brows could not help but frown: "What do you mean by that, my lord?"

After all, if it is right, it is right, and if it is wrong, it is wrong. What is right, but not all right?

Bai Su said with a smile: "If you just rely on Shangjun's farming-oriented gameplay, tax revenue can only be accumulated bit by bit from all over the world, but if you change the gameplay, it will be different."

"I can borrow money from the future without being limited by time, and just make thousands of money out of thin air..."

Mo Xun's eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't believe it: "This... How is this possible, without time constraints, making money out of thin air, this is simply the ability of a fairy, how can a human do it."

After all, even if the imperial court wants to collect taxes, it still needs a good harvest of grain and goods shipped by merchants from thousands of miles away.

But Bai Su had nothing in his hands, how could he conjure money out of thin air?

The corner of Bai Su's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "Since you don't believe me, then come with me and see how I can conjure money out of thin air."

Mo Xun's black brows were furrowed, and after hesitating for a moment, he glanced at the direction Bai Su was leaving, bit his red lips lightly with his bright teeth, and quickly chased after her.

She really wanted to see what kind of tricks Bai Su was going to play.
