Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Song Chengzhou was hurriedly invited by Luo Cheng. As soon as he walked into the room and saw the food on the table without even moving his chopsticks, Song Chengzhou suddenly panicked.

Ning Fan didn't eat, which was a big deal for a minister, especially an old minister like Song Chengzhou, who valued the emperor's health more than anything else.

"Sir Song, I have encountered a problem now. It is difficult to make a decision. Can you help me with the details?"

Ning Fan felt that he was holding back his breath and was unhappy. At this time, he really wanted to find someone to discuss it carefully.

When Song Chengzhou heard that Ning Fan wanted to discuss things with him, he naturally wanted it. As long as Ning Fan was willing to speak, there would be a way to untie his knot. If Ning Fan kept skipping meals like this, then Song Chengzhou might be frightened by Ning Fan. die.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me this difficult problem? Although I am too stupid to help you resolve your worries, I can help you make some suggestions. Even if they are immature and incorrect suggestions, I am willing to help you share your worries."

Song Chengzhou knelt on the ground in fear.

"Mr. Song, have you ever thought about the possibility that the outbreak of this plague was caused by man-made poisoning?"

Ning Fan looked at Song Chengzhou.

Song Chengzhou was also confused. In fact, he didn't understand how the plague was poisoned, but he had unconditional trust in Ning Fan.

"Your Majesty, may I ask how this plague was poisoned? Is this plague caused by some kind of toxin?"

Song Chengzhou was a little confused. In his opinion, plague was a disease, not something invisible and insubstantial. This kind of thing was related to God.

But since His Majesty said it, Song Chengzhou tried his best to think about it. Did he guess that the God of Westerners really has the ability to control the plague?

"Your Majesty, is the God that Westerners believe in true? The doctrines spread by those missionaries are also true."

Song Chengzhou looked confused.

Seeing Song Chengzhou's confused and serious look, Ning Fan suddenly felt like laughing, but in the end he held it back because he was afraid that laughing suddenly would offend the veteran minister's self-esteem.

"Master Song, you are right. The plague is not an ordinary disease. The disease is caused by the damage of the body's organs, but the plague is not caused by very small bugs that are invisible to the naked eye. These bugs drill into It enters the human body and arbitrarily destroys the human internal organs, which triggers the appearance of plague in the human being.”

Ning Fan knew that if he told Song Chengzhou about bacteria, Song Chengzhou would definitely not know what it meant, but if he was told that they were just bugs, then it would be easy to understand.

"Little bugs? Your Majesty is saying that the plague is caused by small bugs. It is the small bugs that burrow into people's flesh and cause people to become sick. Is this how you understand it?"

Song Chengzhou suddenly asked in horror.

"It's true. The plague is indeed caused by very small bugs. These bugs are ten thousand or ten million times smaller than dust! These bugs can pass through the human nose and mouth, and through breathing It can enter the human body or penetrate into the human body through the pores. It multiplies indefinitely in the human body and then destroys the human body, making the person sick. "

Ning Fan gave Song Chengzhou some basic knowledge of modern medicine, but Song Chengzhou was confused. Although Song Chengzhou felt that what Ning Fan said was mysterious and mysterious, it did not hinder Song Chengzhou's incomparable trust in Ning Fan.

"Your Majesty, if it is really such a little bug, then it is possible that this plague is actually poisoned by Westerners, as you said."

Song Chengzhou followed Ning Fan's words, and then asked: "Since your Majesty already knows the cause of the plague, have you thought of any countermeasures?"

"Of course there are countermeasures, that is, Dakang closes the country and refuses all future ships to land. In this way, the British cannot sneak into our Dakang people, and their poisoning plan will naturally be defeated without attack."

Ning Fan looked at Song Chengzhou and said.

Hearing what Ning Fan said, Song Chengzhou shook his head. He felt that Ning Fan would definitely not be able to do this. Now Song Chengzhou finally understood why Ning Fan was entangled and indecisive.

Because if the maritime ban is closed, it will have a profound impact on the future of Dakang.

"Your Majesty, this maritime ban must never be closed. Our current status and wealth depend entirely on foreign trade, and maritime trade is the largest sector of foreign trade. The special nature of maritime transport This enables large quantities of goods to be transported across ultra-long distances quickly and at the lowest cost by sea.”

"The particularity of sea transportation and its unique low cost cannot be replaced by other transportation. Even if His Majesty builds a railway to another continent, the cost of transportation is still not as low as sea transportation."

Song Chengzhou analyzed it layer by layer, and suddenly understood why Ning Fan was so entangled.

If the sea ban is not closed, the plague will inevitably continue to spread, because the English people's purpose is to bring down Dakang. Seeing Dakang stand up step by step under the blockade, the English people are naturally anxious.

The British are unwilling to lose their maritime hegemony and their status as the hegemon of the earth in this era, so they will naturally obstruct the rise of Dakang in every possible way.

"Since the sea ban cannot be closed, does Mr. Song have a better way? It would be best to get the best of both worlds."

Ning Fan looked at Song Chengzhou expectantly.

One of the biggest characteristics of Song Chengzhou is that he is experienced and experienced. As the saying goes, people become better with age. Once a person reaches a certain age, even if his own wisdom is mediocre, the accumulated experience is enough to make this person very smart. .

This is the case with Song Chengzhou today. Song Chengzhou is often by Ning Fan's side and does not play the role of a think tank, but sometimes he can give Ning Fan valuable advice.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard that the best defense in the world is attack? Since the English are constantly poisoning us, why don't we retaliate in kind?"

Song Chengzhou suddenly touched his chin and said with a serious face.

"Although spreading plague, poisoning, and harming the world, the British people can do the first grade of junior high school. Why can't we, the wealthy, do the fifteenth grade? If it makes them feel physical pain and makes them feel scared, then the English people can do it. We must give up using this method to deal with our Da Kang.”

Song Chengzhou said slowly again.

For a moment, Ning Fan had a feeling of enlightenment. He suddenly realized that Song Chengzhou was of great use. This veteran's wisdom was simply endless.
