The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1267

[1267. Chapter 1207 The deep love between teachers and students]

is a trick!

The Duke felt dizzy.

It’s like he’s drunk.

With that slightly fuzzy feeling, some hallucinations began to appear in front of his eyes. He seemed to see a holy light in the sky and many angels singing hymns.

Blood was still trickling out from his wrist.

He asked with difficulty: “What do you think about the Ming Dynasty, its ships, and their navy?”

Wang Xizuo bowed and replied: “This is a group of robbers, a group of lunatics, they are cruel and without mercy. Li, they are a group of shameless pagans. However… most of their ships are not equipped with enough firepower, their artillery is shoddy, and their sailors are ragged and skinny… Yes, Your Excellency, they are incompetent. Attack, and… their administrative system is like a bloated clay-footed giant. It looks huge, but in fact, it only has the emperor as the center. Whoever controls their emperor can make them surrender. “

This is a very big problem .

Fresh insights.

Of course, Wang Xizuo has been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and of course he has a far-sighted vision for the Ming Dynasty.

Especially when he mentioned the Ming Dynasty, Wang Xizuo gritted his teeth.

The Duke was silent for a moment, and he could hardly lift his eyelids.

The barber observed the blood flowing out of him and muttered something.

The Duke said: “Submit?”

“Yes.” Wang Xizuo said confidently: “Their capital city is only a hundred miles away from the port. As long as they can destroy their navy and occupy their port, this port is called Tianjin. , then they can march to their capital and capture their emperor. Then, the entire Ming Empire will be captured. They… there are countless wealth there, and their emperor has countless treasures hidden in the palace city. The ultimate treasure…”

Then, Wang Xizuo took out a sheepskin map from his clothes, he took it out and opened it.

The Portuguese governor and priests on the side came forward one after another. This was a map with extremely detailed markings. The map clearly recorded the deployment of troops in the entire Ming Dynasty Gyeonggi area, as well as the mountains and rivers…

The Portuguese governor, in his heart He thought for a moment, but soon he regained his composure.

An attendant brought the map to the Duke. The Duke was lying down and saw the map slowly unfolding in front of him. He stared at the map with deep eyes, and then he took a long breath.

Seeing this, the barber on the side immediately said: “God, the devil in your body has not been driven away yet, we should further carry out treatment.”

The barber’s expression was solemn, he took out his razor, a sharp razor, the blood was not dry, but The next moment, the razor cut another cut on the Duke’s wrist.

This time, the wound was so big that the skin and flesh were turned outwards. The old wound, where the blood had gradually condensed, suddenly surged out like a river flooding with fresh blood.

The Duke felt that he had gained strength.

But…he must receive treatment to fight against the devil.

Scenes of hallucinations began to appear in his mind. He saw light, saw countless ships, galloping on the ocean, could not see countless wealth, saw…

He tried hard to calm down, and then Said: “Okay, very good, you did a good job. Come and give him thirty gold coins. From now on, you will be my personal advisor. If…if we can conquer the Ming Dynasty, you will get double “Reward.”

A waiter had already taken out a small bag, which made a pleasant sound.

Wang Xizuo took the small bag of gold coins and hurriedly bowed and said: “Your Excellency, I am willing to serve you.”

Here are thirty Spanish gold coins, um… a lot, worth at least a few hundred taels of silver. .

Wang Xizuo put the bag in his arms and respectfully left the luxurious room.

The moment he walked out of the room.

The Duke said to the clerk: “Please write a long letter to the king in my name. He needs to know immediately everything that happened here, and…this map…”

After he said these words with difficulty… …

It feels like at this moment, although the devil is lost in his body, his life seems to be lost as well.

The priest on the side whispered in the Duke’s ear: “Your Excellency, this person is not worthy of trust…”

“I know.” The Duke said hard: “These… are a group of exiled liars and thieves. I… …How could I trust such a person, so…I rewarded him with thirty Piasters, and promised to reward him with more gold coins, which are God’s whips, after we succeed… Cough…cough…will drive him to do anything.”

The priest nodded, holding the holy book, in agreement.

The Duke’s blood began to clot again.

It seems the wound is not big enough.

The barber continued to bleed him.

…

When Wang Xizuo came out of the governor’s mansion, he was holding a bag of gold coins in his hand, but at this moment, suddenly, the bell rang.

Suddenly, someone started singing a hymn.

Wang Xizuo turned around and looked at the huge mansion. At this time, he couldn’t help scratching his head…

It seemed… a quarter of an hour after he became a personal consultant, he lost his job again.

…

The Duke’s head was covered with a shroud embroidered with a cross.

The priest led a group of children, holding candles, and sadly began to sing hymns.

The Duke’s face, at the moment when the shroud was covered, was as bloody as white paper. He opened his blue eyes wide, but unfortunately, those eyes had lost any color.

The barber has packed up his tools and stepped aside. As he said, health depends on the outcome of the contest between good and evil gods. Unfortunately, the noble Duke, although he continues to release harmful toxins from his body, Blood, but still couldn’t resist the devil’s erosion.

The barber had a look of regret on his face. This was already the ninth person to be called by God this year, but…what could be done? This was all God’s arrangement.

………

In the Zhenguo Mansion.

The atmosphere today is surprisingly solemn.

The debt collector is here.

Baoding is not far from Xishan, especially now that the road has been built.

Ouyang Zhi took the car and arrived here quickly.

Liu Jin also followed.

Ouyang Zhi stood here like a wooden stake.

The New Deal has reached its most critical moment.

Debt-ridden, although taxes are increasing day by day, expenses are also getting larger and larger.

Money circulates crazily, but the problem is that if this crazily circulating silver breaks, it will be a disaster.

Ouyang Zhi led a group of people, struggling desperately and groping on thin ice. They were walking on a road they had never walked before.

Now, it’s time to build the railway.

It won’t work if you don’t practice it, and the merchants are very vocal.

You can’t just kick people away after collecting business taxes.

Furthermore, once the railway is repaired, it will simply benefit the country and the people, and it will have even greater benefits for the promotion of the New Deal.

Especially Tongzhou and Baoding Prefecture, which are constantly absorbing the population of nearby counties and counties. The population is getting larger and larger, and the number of people, not to mention the number of goods, is getting denser.

The existing roads simply cannot bear it.

Liu Jin came here because he was recalled by Zhu Houzhao.

I heard that this grandson was very happy in Baoding Mansion, which made Zhu Houzhao very angry. You are my servant, why did you become the uncle?

Gu Da used those people to make trouble in front of His Highness the Crown Prince all day long, talking about Liu Jin’s reputation outside.

I originally thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would become more and more distant from him, so that I would become a reliable person around His Highness.

But who knew that His Highness the Crown Prince… would summon him… back.

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao entered the lobby.

sit down.

Liu Jin was sitting and cracking melon seeds. When he saw His Highness and the godfather coming in, he suddenly stood up. He became fatter and fatter. After swallowing the melon seeds, he said with difficulty: “I have met your highness, the prince. I have met my godfather.” “

Liu Jin was busy pouring tea and water for Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan.

Gu Dayong, who was standing next to Zhu Houzhao, wanted to die at this moment. He looked at the fat-headed and big-eared Liu Jin resentfully, but he still had to show his welcome.

Fang Jifan raised the tea cup and took a sip of tea: “How much money can be raised in Baoding and Tongzhou?”

“In reply to my mentor.” Ouyang Zhi had an extraordinary attitude, which was a kind of tempered attitude: “Now how much money can be raised in taxes ?”

There are only 800,000 taels of silver. “

800,000 taels can still be raised, even if it is from the national treasury, it will be eclipsed by it.

Baoding has money, even if you don’t want to be convinced.

Fang Jifan frowned: “Baoding and Tongzhou now owe Xishan Bank tens of millions of taels. After this year, they will have to repay hundreds of thousands of taels with interest.”

“Yes, so we can’t borrow anymore .

But the railway has been planned and the preliminary exploration has been done. It has cost a lot. The student is really at a loss and came here to ask for advice.”

Zhu Houzhao crossed his legs and stared coldly at Liu Jin. Liu Jin hurriedly forced out a smile. Shout out ‘eggplant’.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: “I want money, and now I think of being a teacher. You fellow apprentices don’t have a fuel-efficient lamp.”

Ouyang Zhi’s face was expressionless.

This bitch has no shame at all.

Fang Jifan felt that it was really difficult for him to communicate with Ouyang Zhi.

But…

he looked at Ouyang Zhi: “Then, why not raise funds?”

“Raise funds?” Ouyang Zhi glanced at Fang Jifan in surprise.

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but slap his thigh. This bitch had indeed become slippery.

When you scold him, his reaction is a little slower, but when you give him advice, his reaction is a little faster.

Fang Jifan said: “To be precise, it is to raise funds and package the railway into one business. Baoding, Tongzhou, and the capital are all very prosperous now. As long as the railway is built, there is no need to worry about it not being profitable. Think about it, think about it…”

Fang Jifan frowned, how could he promote the railway without letting others see the huge benefits brought by the railway?

Although people in this world keep talking about benevolence, justice and morality, in the end, everyone is realistic after all.

The Ming Dynasty’s railway is only a short section between the new city and the old city. It has no imitation value for local state capitals. However, once the railways from Baoding and Tongzhou to the capital are built, the significance will be completely different.
