Your Majesty, You Can't

After Zhao Yin agreed, He Lanzhi briefly mentioned the idea that he had not fully conceived before.It is mainly about the two Silk Roads, land and sea, and by the way, some ideas about improving firearms are also mentioned.

"Sea shipping is a way of doing business that has never been done in previous dynasties. I believe that if we need to protect ourselves enough, our dynasty needs to improve our firearms, so as to establish our country's position on the sea that will not be shaken by others. .”

Zhao Yin nodded slightly irresponsibly, motioning him to continue talking.

"Previously, I asked His Majesty for the imperial examination specifically, and wanted to select those bachelors with a theoretical foundation in natural science from the people. On the one hand, I also wanted to lay the foundation for this." He Lanzhi pursed his dry lips and said, "Only They are people who are truly capable of manufacturing and improving advanced firearms. The role of gunpowder should not just be used in the fireworks of temple fairs."

"I know." Zhao Yin waved his hand to the servant girl waiting in the imperial study to make a cup of tea for Prime Minister He Lan, who was dry-mouthed, "If gunpowder is fully used in weapons, it will have great power .”

"Your Majesty is wise." He Lanzhi cupped his hands.

"If you have enough advanced weapons... It should be easier to expand the territory..." Zhao Yin murmured softly, rubbing his chin slightly with his finger wearing a jasper finger, "Ah Zhi's previous widening Luo Tianxia's talented sages have such a deep meaning. They are so thoughtful, they really deserve to be my prime minister."

Just as the words were falling, it happened that the court lady who was holding the tea tray entered the palace and bowed to the monarch and his ministers, then took slender steps to offer the tea cup in front of He Lan, and said softly: "Master He Lan, please use it. "

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yin suddenly regretted letting the court lady make tea.

He Lanzhi took the teacup with his head down, and thanked the young emperor who was sitting on the sandalwood chair with an inexplicably displeased face: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for the tea."

"The two things that Prime Minister He Lan mentioned, I think I can give it a try. I will issue an imperial edict tomorrow, ordering the Minister of the Ministry of War to bring some people to the Imperial Academy to discuss with those scholars how to improve the manufacture of weapons. As for sending The matter of envoy's business—" Zhao Yin dragged out a long and intriguing voice, staring at He Lanzhi's ink eyes and said with ulterior motives, "I still want to follow, grow, plan, and discuss with Ah Zhi."

He Lanzhi felt his spine trembling at this glance, and his voice couldn't help trembling slightly, "Your Majesty...how can Your Majesty plan a long-term plan?"

"Of course I want you to move to the palace and discuss with me—"

"——The Emperor! Absolutely not!" He Lanzhi did not wait for Zhao Yin to finish speaking, and immediately bowed his head, "The rules in the forbidden palace cannot be broken by humble ministers! How can a courtier move into the palace to live in?" ?!"

"What are you in a hurry for? I haven't finished talking yet." Zhao Yin glanced at He Lanzhi unhurriedly, and continued, "I want you to move to my office so that I can be with you anytime. Discuss, so as to save the time of summoning the prime minister to come back. I never said that Ah Zhi would move to live with me, did I?"

There was a flash of daze in He Lanzhi's eyes, and when he was about to defend himself, Zhao Yin raised the corners of his lips and stared at He Lanzhi's dark eyes meaningfully, saying in a low voice:

"Or--my prime minister really wants to be in the same room with me?"
