Chapter 147 The Emperor and the Aristocratic Family Share the World

Even my father is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

It was inevitable that his suspicious Majesty would secretly send someone to keep an eye on him.

Nowadays, His Majesty the Emperor's greatest wish is to unify the world.

I don't want to openly conflict with the major aristocratic families.

The requirements of the major aristocratic families are also very simple. The world can be unified, but they must maintain their previous status.

We have to give them future protection.

This was an era of compromise between the emperor and the aristocratic families.

Situations like this are actually very common in the history of our country.

From the Han Dynasty to the Huangchao Uprising in the Tang Dynasty, this was the same cooperation model.

The emperor and his family share the world.

So Duan Chun didn't want to do anything outrageous. He just wanted to save his life when he traveled through time.

From now on, I can live a life of peace and ease.

I don't want to cause anything dangerous.

"Gan has been idle for more than ten years."

"Everything the master did at the farm in the past two days made Gan very curious."

"Smelt new materials and create new instruments."

“Renovating the workshop and building all kinds of things that have never been seen before.”

"There are also two new workshops by the river and outside the valley, which really piqued Gan's interest."

"Not long ago, Gan received a message from a flying pigeon at the farm."

"The master plans to breed rice seeds..."

"So Gan also wants to try it with his master and do his best for him."

"Master, I'm afraid I'll have little time to come to the farm again, so it's better to take care of the farm's affairs."

"Leave it to Master Gan to look after."

Gan Changyuan said.

"Uncle Gan, please get up quickly."

"If you just help the juniors do these things."

"Uncle Gan doesn't need such a big gift."

Duan Chun smiled and reached out to help him again.

"Master agrees to accept Gan?"

Gan Changyuan asked seriously.

"Uncle Gan, you are my father's military advisor."

"I'm also an elder."

"There's no need to be so polite between us, right?"

Duan Chun asked helplessly.

"Master, Gan is willing to serve you."

"I will be your guest from now on."

"From now on, everything should be considered for the master's sake."

"If the master does not accept Gan, Gan will be so ashamed that he can only say goodbye and leave."

Gan Changyuan lowered his head and said.

"Uh...okay."

"Then this junior will accept Uncle Gan's surrender."

"Uncle Gan, please get up quickly."

Duan Chun sighed and nodded.

The ancients had too many rules and would not accept his surrender.

There is really no way to solve the current situation.

"Thank you, Master."

"From now on, Gan will be the master's wrath."

"Never betray your master!"

"Master, come again, please accept my three obeisances!"

Gan Changyuan immediately kowtowed respectfully.

Duan Chun could only hear the sound of kowtowing, and Duan Chun could only accept it helplessly.

After kowtowing, Duan Chun quickly helped Gan Changyuan up.

"Uncle Gan, you are too polite."

"We are a family, why bother with such a big gift?"

Duan Chun said helplessly.

"After the master accepts Gan's three bows."

"That's why I will regard Gan as your subordinate."

"Only Gan can tell the truth about some things."

Gan Changyuan said with his fists clasped.

"You still have something to say?"

Duan Chun looked into his eyes and realized immediately.

The reason why Gan Changyuan was so solemn was to worship him as his new master.

There must be other purposes.

"Gan did have a lot that he didn't say."

"The master has got new weapons. All he wanted to do was help the general cope with the Western Expedition."

"Have you not thought about the subsequent troubles?"

Gan Changyuan asked.

"This junior has thought about the subsequent troubles."

"After my father's expedition to the west, the new arrowheads will show sufficient power on the battlefield."

"This junior plans to present the new arrows to His Majesty."

"And obtain the qualifications for the Ordnance Division's workshop for the veteran blacksmiths of the Cavalry Guard."

"This way we can get enough free materials for Dad, as well as more funds and military pay."

Duan Chun expressed his thoughts.

"The master thinks well, but this is what Gan is most worried about."

"Your Majesty will read this memorial that I asked the master to write today."

"Like my master, I am also very curious about the power of this arrowhead."

"We will wait until the war in the West begins before we can understand the true benefits of arrowheads."

"But the master wants to obtain the qualification of the Ordnance Division Workshop for the General."

"I'm afraid His Majesty may not be able to do it."

"Those aristocratic families control the officials of the Ministry of War, big and small, and the workshops of the Ordnance Department are their vital interests."

"In the end, these master's designs will be just tools for others to make money."

Gan Changyuan shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty can't control the Ministry of War?"

Duan Chun opened his mouth wide.

"Yes, in the six departments of Shangshu Province, many powerful official positions are in the hands of major aristocratic families."

"The only people your Majesty can trust are the old brothers who will accompany you to conquer the world."

“This is the case in every dynasty and every generation.”

"If your Majesty wants to do something, you must reach an agreement with the major families."

"Otherwise, everything will be difficult."

Gan Changyuan replied.

Duan Chun listened blankly to Gan Changyuan's words.

When he was a child, when he read history, he always thought that the emperor was a man of ninety-five orders who kept his word.

No one dares to disobey His Majesty's will.

Later, when I grew up, I slowly discovered it.

Emperors in history were not able to do everything.

Emperors of the Ming Dynasty were often restricted by civil officials, except for the founding emperor Zhu Chongba.

Almost all emperors were in the process of fighting and compromising with civil officials.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty can be said to be the least respected emperors in the orthodox dynasties.

There were many civil officials who pointed at the emperors and scolded them.

As for the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, because of the long history.

The descendants only know Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Zhi, Wu Zetian and Li Longji.

The emperors who held military power in the Tang Dynasty may have the power of life and death.

The emperor without military power was just a person staying in the palace.

It was just a symbol manipulated by civil officials and aristocratic families.

The current situation is very clear. Emperor Dakang finally established the country.

There is also Beixia in the north, and the emperor dare not easily turn against the aristocratic families.

Lest the country he conquered be replaced by others.

So now, even if the emperor is dissatisfied with the noble families, they can only compromise and make concessions.

"Uncle Gan means that even if I hand over the weapons manufacturing method."

"Will it be easily taken away by the noble families?"

"Is there no way to solve this problem?"

Duan Chun asked.

"Master is so smart, can't you think of a solution?"

Gan Changyuan asked with a smile.

"Uncle Gan means that after this memorial is submitted to His Majesty."

"I will go to the palace to meet His Majesty again, and I hope His Majesty can keep this secret."

"Let the farm blacksmith shop make it by itself..."

Duan Chun saw his eyes and understood what he meant.

"Master is smart, this is Gan's idea."

"But the more things the master has to do in the future, I am afraid that it will attract the prying eyes of the major worlds."

"For example, the strange pots and pans made by the master, and the strange way to eat mutton."

"These two days, people have been watching in the imperial capital."

"Wanhua Tower can't stand the calculations of those noble families."

Gan Changyuan nodded.
