Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Gu Hanzhou continued: "It's easier for the Su family to crush me to death than to crush an ant."

"It's just that for some reason, he can't kill me, because if I die, it will backfire on Su Mubai."

"But if I show any sign of showing up, the Su family will suppress it immediately."

"But if I don't stand up, how can I fight the Su family and change the fate of the Gu family being sucked dry all the time?"

"I originally wanted to make military achievements on the front line until I could compete with the Su family."

"But Su Changgong's power is too great. Even if I hide in the border areas and avoid him, I still can't get rid of his control."

"So, I can only take a risky move."

"But I won't allow anything that will implicate you and your family to happen."

"That's why..."

Lin Shuangshuang knew what happened next, and Gu Hanzhou just jumped over it.

He knew she didn't want to hear that.

"Before setting out this time, I have already told the emperor all my plans."

"I told the emperor that I have another way to allow the Dayu Dynasty to annex the entire Jin Kingdom without any soldiers."

"In order to convince the emperor, I also presented him with the explosives formula you mentioned."

"The emperor was so shocked by the power of the explosives that he agreed to let me give it a try."

"But the emperor cannot promise me anything. I am destined to plan this great event alone, and I can only succeed and not fail."

"If I fail, I will be a traitor in every sense of the word."

"It is a crime of treason. Even though I have severed ties with my family and even if the emperor wants to protect him, there is no guarantee that the civil and military officials in the court will not intimidate him."

"Then the emperor will be helpless and will find it difficult to protect the Gu family."

"The Emperor asked me to think it over before making a decision."

"At first, I was indeed hesitant, fearing that if I failed, I would drag the entire Gu family into eternal damnation and the entire family would be executed."

"But if I do nothing, how good will the Gu family's fate be?"

"The Gu family will become more miserable with each generation, and the Su family will suck the blood of the Gu family generation after generation..."

"I might as well give it a try. I have nowhere else to go."

"That's why I deliberately let myself be captured, and then after being tortured in every way, I agreed to betray my country and make plans for the Jin Kingdom."

"The only thing that made me miscalculate was that after I entered prison, things became out of control. I was tortured so badly that my hands and feet were crippled."

"I think it's better for me to die. At least the Yu Dynasty will think I died in battle, so there won't be any accusations of treason. At least my family will be safe."

"But they saved me and appointed me as the national teacher. I took the opportunity to propose not to fight with the Dayu Dynasty and to use other means to help the Jin Dynasty improve its national strength and improve people's lives."

Lin Shuangshuang frowned: "How did you convince the Emperor of Jin?"

"Can he believe your lies?"

"After all, you just recently used a batch of weapons that were eliminated during the Yu Dynasty to exchange for 10,000 war horses from the Jin Kingdom. Can they still trust you this time?"

"If you don't show some sincerity, no one will believe you no matter how hard you try."

Gu Hanzhou smiled self-deprecatingly: "You still understand me."

Lin Shuangshuang curled her lips: "Who cares to know you? Don't flatter yourself."

Gu Hanzhou continued: "I presented the most advanced weapons of the Dayu Dynasty to the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty."

"And a blueprint of a wool spinning machine."

Lin Shuang's eyes lit up. This move was indeed brilliant.

With these two powerful weapons displayed, there is no doubt that the Jin emperor will believe it.

The most advanced weapons, coupled with the Jin Dynasty's powerful cavalry, can simply sweep away thousands of enemies.

The wool spinning machine was even more unique. The Jin Dynasty was rich in cattle and sheep. Mutton and sheepskin were very useful, but wool was of no use at all.

Nowadays, we can turn waste into treasure, spin wool into yarn, and then turn the yarn into various sweaters and warm items.

It can also be exported to various countries, bringing unlimited tax revenue to the Jin Dynasty, and the people can live a good life by relying on wool.

This is undoubtedly a great thing for the Jin Kingdom!!

But the Jin emperor only saw the benefits and interests, and failed to see the huge crisis contained therein.

He didn't know that no matter how powerful cold weapons were, they were nothing compared to hot weapons.

While they were sweating profusely to create the most advanced weapons, the Dayu Dynasty was already secretly developing gunpowder and artillery.

There is also wool yarn that can be turned into treasure. It seems to bring huge benefits to the Jin Dynasty, but in fact it will turn into a huge war crisis within two years.

Why did a little piece of wool cause a war?

This has to do with a long-lasting and far-reaching land reform movement in a certain country in history.

Under the feudal system at that time, land was the main source of wealth for the nobles.

However, with the development of commodity economy and the rise of wool textile industry, the demand for wool has increased greatly, resulting in a continuous increase in wool prices.

This led the nobles and some profit-seeking bourgeoisie to turn the farmland that originally belonged to the peasants into sheep pastures, thus triggering a "sheep eating people" movement.

A large number of farmers have lost their land and are unable to survive, so they naturally rebel.

The nobles also waged constant wars in order to gain more land.

Although it did not lead to the demise of the country in the end, if someone had fanned the flames at that time and led the peasants to revolt and overthrow the court rule, the Dayu Dynasty would have taken the opportunity to enter and annex the Jin Dynasty.

Of course, it is not so easy to disintegrate a country, and it also requires clever use of business means.

For example, if the two countries were encouraged to trade, I believe the Jin emperor would agree.

After all, textiles need to be bought by people.

Dayu Dynasty is the best partner because it has money.

The Jin Kingdom made money with Mao coins and could also buy food from the Jin Kingdom.

Due to long-term reliance on imports and the huge profits in the textile industry, the Jin Dynasty's own food supplies will become increasingly scarce.

When the time was ripe, Jin was facing internal and external troubles, and the Dayu Dynasty cut off their food source and provided them with powerful thermal weapons.

The Jin royal family had no chance of fighting. They had no money, no soldiers, and no weapons. All they could do was surrender.

Of course, the Jin Kingdom was not stupid and naturally knew the importance of food.

They will definitely stockpile food in advance, for example, enough food for three years, so that they can have three years of food support, and it will still be in time even if they plant now.

Or we can buy food from other countries, but it would be difficult.

In times of war, food is life. We would only sell food to others if we had too much to eat.

But in this impoverished ancient time, except for the Yu Dynasty which had potatoes and sweet potatoes that could produce surplus grain, other countries probably did not even have enough to eat.

In short, if things go well, Gu Hanzhou can indeed destroy an entire country by himself.

But some things are easier said than done, so we have to take one step at a time.

For example, right now, Gu Hanzhou almost got himself involved before the big game even started.

If she hadn't come, he would have spent his whole life lying in bed.

However, she knew that with Gu Hanzhou's tenacious character, as long as he didn't die, he could accomplish his great cause even if he lay in bed.

It’s just that the difficulty level has increased by several levels.
