Zhang Xianzhong still trusted Sun Kewang very much and did not suspect that Sun Kewang was actually Gao Huan's spy.

After all, how could the father-son relationship of more than ten years be worse than that of Sun Kewang's seven years of staying in the court?

In Daxi Sun Kewang is the king, but in the court, Sun Kewang is just a governor.

There are more than a dozen people like him around Gao Huan, so how can he compare to Daxi?

However, what Zhang Xianzhong did not expect was that more than ten years of relationship might not be as good as being by Gao Huan. Sun Kewang's intentions had changed. Even though Gao Huan, Li Yan, Du Yinxi, Xia Wanchun and others were all over, Sun Kewang still looked up to Gao Huan.

In the hall, Zhang Xianzhong ignored the comments of his ministers and resolutely decided to adopt Sun Kewang's suggestions for reform.

After everyone was talking in the hall for a while, the civil and military officials retreated, and Zhang Xianzhong left only Sun Kewang and asked him about the reform alone.

At this time, when the ministers retreated, Zhang Xianzhong stood up and walked down the palace, "I hope, let's go with me."

The two of them then left the hall and walked along the corridor in vain.

"I hope, how are you doing country in the past few years?" Zhang Xianzhong asked casually in front.

"Your Majesty, I am a defeated general in Ganguo. In addition, I killed the royal family of the Zhu family and the evil gentry of the previous dynasty. I was suffering from difficulties and excluded there and was depressed and unsuccessful." Sun Kewang said it was true, and his expression and tone felt his difficulty.

However, although it was not easy for Zhang Xianzhong to know, Sun Kewang was actually very happy and passionate about doing it. This was mainly due to Gao Huan’s conversation with him. His colleagues who worked hard were all talented and spoke nicely.

Zhang Xianzhong stopped, "Then why have you been there for seven years?"

Sun Kewang was slightly stunned, reacted and quickly explained: "Report to Your Majesty, I was trapped in Wuchang that year and surrendered when I was poor. Gao Huan did not trust me at first. I first stayed in the repentance for a year, and later I was sent to the Dao Government Affairs School for renovation. After coming out, I was appointed as an official position by Gao Huan, but I was under surveillance until this time when Gao Huan went on the battle and was attacked again, and I decided to take the risk to escape back to the West."

Zhang Xianzhong continued to move forward after hearing the words. He was quite interested in the affairs of the country. "I heard that those who came from labor reform and repented forests were very serious about Gao Huan. Is there any such thing?"

Sun Kewang said: "Your Majesty, the labor camp and the repentant forest are not that magical. The main reason is that the conditions inside are harsh, forced labor, and instill ideas. After the people inside are released, they do not want to go back, so they seem to be very loyal to Gao Huan, but in fact they have no choice."

"I'll just say it!" Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said, "Gao Huan is not from the White Lotus Sect, how could he have such ability?"

At this time, the two continued walking and came to the garden. Zhang Xianzhong continued: "I hope that I agree with the reform, but after hearing your plan, I cannot say that I am not worried. With the national strength of the Western countries, it is already very difficult to maintain the current army. Through your reform, can it really be maintained for a long time, close to 70% of the military power of the Ganchao?"

Now that the Western Army is standing in defense, the Western Army can not have as many troops as the defense, but maintaining 70% of the military forces of the military is to prevent Gao Huan from easily attacking the Western Country.

If the strength of the Western Army is lower than 70% of the strength of the Gan Army, Gao Huan will definitely attack decisively, and reach more than 70%, and Gao Huan will be somewhat afraid.

At this time, the strength of the Western Army was probably less than 30% of that of the Ganchao, which can be said to be seriously below the security line.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong supports the reform, but Zhang Xianzhong doesn't study much, but it's not that easy to deceive. As the leader of a country, he still knows that nothing can be separated from the fundamentals of the country.

Sun Kewang knew that Zhang Xianzhong had some concerns, and if he could not give a reasonable explanation, it would definitely shake Zhang Xianzhong.

He had just returned to the Western Kingdom from Ganchao. Seven years have passed, and the tea has cooled down, leaving him with no team in the Western Kingdom. If he wants to reform, he can only implement it with the support of Zhang Xianzhong.

"Your Majesty! I know that Your Majesty thinks this is a military force." Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "My reform can indeed only improve the military strength of the West in a short period of time and cannot be maintained for a long time."

Zhang Xianzhong frowned slightly, thinking that it was true. He stopped and turned around, "Give me an explanation."

Just now, Sun Kewang said that if he did not reform, he would perish. There was still a glimmer of hope for reform, but if the military power after the reform could not be maintained for a long time, it would still perish. Why bother with it?

Sun Kewang also stopped and explained: "Your Majesty, the purpose of my reform is to increase the military strength of Daxi to 70% of the Gan Dynasty in a short period of time, so that Daxi can overcome the current crisis and get out of the crisis of national destruction. As for maintaining military strength, it depends on the effect of economic reform, and at the same time expand to the outside world, plunder the resources from the south, slowly improve economic strength, and finally achieve balance of income and expenditure. At that time, Daxi can maintain it for a long time."

Zhang Xianzhong's brows stretched out, "I understand. What you mean is to first pull up the military force so that Gao Huan dares not attack me. Only then can Daxi have time to develop the economy, expand its strength, and gradually achieve balance of income and expenditure."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Sun Kewang bowed and saluted.

Zhang Xianzhong got the answer he wanted, "Okay, I believe in you and fully support your reform."

"I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations." Sun Kewang quickly bowed again, buried his head between his arms, hiding his guilt in his heart.

Gao Huan sent Sun Kewang back with the goal of destroying the Western economy and creating chaos in the Western countries so as to cause the offensive of the Dynasty.

The Western Kingdom is different from the Ganchao. The Ganchao economy is developed, and the Jiangnan region has entered a commodity society, making the Ganchao rich, but the social structure is not as stable as that of the Western Kingdom.

Western countries are a traditional agricultural society, and small peasants' economy is self-sufficient. Unless encountering natural disasters, it is difficult for society to form turmoil.

If Gao Huan wanted to undermine the stability of the Western countries, he had to instigate the Western countries to carry out reforms, engage in arms races, drag the agricultural population into industrial production, reduce agricultural investment, and finally destroy the Western countries.

Zhang Xianzhong did not understand Sun Kewang's sinister intentions and helped Sun Kewang up. "Kei Wang, when the Great Western power is strong and gets rid of the crisis, I will definitely reward you well."

The two were walking in the garden and talking for a while, and Zhang Xianzhong appointed Sun Kewang as the Prime Minister for the reform of the Western Kingdom.

After Sun Kewang took office, he first banned alcohol, intending to reduce the consumption of food, but it led to the rise in the price of wine, and the people brewed privately. As a result, the Western country lost a tax and the wine was transferred underground. Many people made profits by selling alcohol privately, forming new powerful people.

In addition, he issued an order to nationalize the mines, but did not provide any compensation, which led to dissatisfaction among local clans. The hundreds of thousands of civilians recruited to mine and smel, which caused a shortage of agricultural population. Within a month of reform, the Western economy was in chaos.

Chengdu Prefecture, Pingdong Prefecture.

After Sun Kewang's reform, the memorials attacked him from all over the country floated to Zhang Xianzhong's desk like snowflakes.

His series of actions caused a large number of people to break away from agricultural production and engage in military-related industries, which had long become a shortage of daily necessities in the Western country, causing dissatisfaction among all parties.

If the situation continues, Zhang Xianzhong may not be able to withstand the pressure and become shaken.

Therefore, he had to contact Ganchao, let Gao Huan relax trade with the Western countries, let Ganchao's goods come in, and suppress prices.

On this day, Sun Kewang changed his clothes in the royal palace and quietly left the royal palace and came to the stronghold of the Ganchao Military Information Department in the city.

Before Sun Kewang returned to the Western Kingdom, he knew the stronghold of the Ganguo Military Information Department, but Gao Huan's instructions had not been passed to Chengdu at that time, so after he arrived, he did not rashly contact him.

Now that time has passed, the Chengdu Military Information Department should have received Gao Huan's instructions, so he came to contact him and established a connection with Gao Huan.

"I had no choice before!" Sun Kewang came to the counter of a grocery store and whispered.

The shopkeeper raised his head, was slightly stunned, and then his eyes shone: "Now I want to be a good person."
