Chapter 225: Layout
The time is still the seventeenth century, but the ancient Yanjing City has a new atmosphere at this time, the elimination of foreign enemies, the collapse of the peasant rebel army, coupled with a series of advanced reform measures launched by the imperial court under the secret guidance of Zheng Jing, so that this already rotten and thoroughly dynasty has faintly rejuvenated signs.
In the Forbidden City, in the Qianqing Palace, where the emperor Ming Sizong Zhu Youzhen and the main ministers of the court and the central government gathered, Xiao Meng and Zheng Zhilong, who were the main agents of change in the country.
At this time, Zhu Youzhen did not put on the emperor's shelf as usual, but was very approachable and equal to everyone, like talking to old friends, and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have only been on the throne for two years, but many major events have happened in the past two years, such as the civil uprisings in various places, the invasion of the Houjin people, and the fall of the capital with the help of righteous people...... After going through so much, I have become more and more aware that my ability is not enough to manage this country well, and I also understand that the laws left by my ancestors are not necessarily right, and in order to prevent the great country that my ancestors have created with great difficulty from being defeated in my hands, I am determined to change the law! β
The ministers knelt down one after another, shouting in unison: "My emperor is Shengming! β
"All the ministers are flat, no, I can't call you that anymore in the future, from now on, I will cut my own power, and leave everything more to the ministers to manage, and at the same time, the cabinet will form a parliament to supervise all the big and small governments, let us govern the country together!"
"Good!" With happy and excited smiles on their faces, everyone raised their wine glasses together, ready to witness the land of China for thousands of years. Ultimately, it is necessary to produce a historical moment.
"Ahem. I'm sorry. I don't want to spoil the atmosphere, but I still want to say that you can go back and rest. β
When this abrupt voice appeared in the main hall, everyone's eyes turned at once, but what they saw was a figure that they didn't expect.
"It's you!" Seeing Zheng Jing slowly walk in, everyone, including Emperor Zhu Youzhen, stood up from their seats. They had only met Zheng Jing once, and it was during the plane mission a year ago, but they were all very impressed by this young man. Because of him, Yanjing City once fell to the enemy, and it was also from the moment he appeared that the country seemed to have come to a corner of the road, and since then, everything has become different.
No one called the guards, and they all remembered the scene when the young man suddenly broke into the palace a year ago.
"May I ask if this gentleman has anything to instruct us? I'm willing to listen. Emperor Zhu Youzhen walked over, arched his hand very politely, and said to Zheng Jing. However, Zheng Jing's next reaction caused his pupils to shrink sharply.
"Smack!" One of Zheng Jing's hands was raised at lightning speed. Tightly grasped Zhu Youzhen's neck and lifted him up. The neck was suddenly choked by such a big brute force. Zhu Youzhen's face suddenly turned purple to the color of pig liver.
Everyone in the hall was stunned by Zheng Jing's unexpected action, and they didn't even react to calling someone to escort them.
"I just heard you say that you want to distribute the rights, yes, yes, you have ideas, do you still want to break the feudal system, advocate equality for all, and build a democratic country?" Zheng Jing squinted at the emperor's frightened face and showed an evil smile: "Seriously, I appreciate that you have such an enlightened mind, but I want to tell you that the right in this world belongs to only one person, and that is me!" Want to give it to someone else? Hehe, with my consent? β
"Bang!" The emperor's body was directly thrown out by Zheng Jing, and after falling heavily to the ground, the poor monarch rolled his eyes and fainted.
Seeing this scene, the ministers in the palace were suddenly angry, and several military attachΓ©s rolled up their sleeves and wanted to rush up and fight with Zheng Jing, but at this moment, the two people hidden in the ministers suddenly moved.
Xiao Meng and Zheng Zhilong quickly shuttled through the crowd with lightning speed, and shot again and again, each time hitting the vital point of the person, just in the blink of an eye, all the ministers in the palace were knocked to the ground.
"Squeak-" The door of the main hall slowly closed, the cracks of the door and the various windows were sealed by Zheng Jing with alchemy, and then looking at the unconscious ministers and the emperor who were tied to the pillars in the main hall, it can be said that the head of the entire Ming Dynasty has been served in one pot.
"Do you have to do it? It took a lot of effort to enlighten this conceited and suspicious emperor. Xiao Meng said with a somewhat complicated expression.
At the beginning, he discussed with Zheng Jing to change the world, and then they spent a year carefully managing and preparing, I don't know how much effort they put in, they succeeded, they made the wheel of history completely change the direction, this is the credit of Xiao Meng and Zheng Zhilong, the two executors, but it is also inseparable from Zheng Jing, the decision-maker.
However, just when the end of victory was approaching, Zheng Jing, the figure who had proposed reform, suddenly changed his attitude and completely overturned all the efforts and achievements they had made before, and it only took two or three minutes.
Zheng Jing's reaction was very flat: "Don't think too much, don't we all already know?" These so-called dimensional worlds are actually just playgrounds created by the center to trick us, I win the game, I am the owner of this playground, and I have the final say on what I want here, even if it is to destroy this place. β
"Maybe you're right." Xiao Meng replied helplessly, he knew that since he came back from this plane mission, Zheng Jing's view of this plane world had changed, before, this was another world that Zheng Jing could live in on the same status as the earth, but now, everything and everything here may have become goods and resources with different value labels in Zheng Jing's eyes.
Zheng Jing took out the magic pill that he bought from the market at a high price that could control people's hearts, and after taking it to the emperor and the ministers one by one, he casually threw the medicine to Zheng Zhilong, who was standing aside.
Zheng Jing didn't turn his head to look at him, and said in a calm tone: "Big brother, for the sake of the two of us being cheap brothers for a few days and we both have the same surname, I will give you a chance to choose." Either. I obediently took the medicine myself. From now on, listen to me, and I will ensure that you live in peace, prosperity, and wealth. Or, do these things instead of me, and all the power in this world will be ruled by you, as long as you can complete the tasks I have given you. β
Zheng Zhilong was holding the medicine bottle in his hand and had a complicated mood, how to choose, do you still need to think about it? Of course not, but he was still a little hesitant. As if he couldn't believe it, he asked, "What do you mean...... Let me be emperor? β
"You can understand it this way, but you have to remember that in the eyes of the people, this reform meeting that determines the fortunes of the country was still held smoothly, the cabinet will still become a parliament to take over the power of the country, Zhu Youzhen is still an emperor who is diligent and diligent for the prosperity of the country, and the ministers are still those ministers, but everyone here will secretly and unconditionally obey your orders."
Zheng Zhilong, who has seen a lot of winds and waves in his life, admits that he was frightened this time, obediently. It's even more enjoyable than being an emperor. Zheng Zhilong is an ambitious person, and he is not willing to be just a pirate for the rest of his life. He wanted to be a general, he wanted to be a prince, but he swore to God that he never dared to think of being an emperor.
"Don't be nervous." Zheng Jing patted Zheng Zhilong on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay to leave all the big and small affairs of the country to this group of people, you just need to guide the direction in secret and let them do something for me, that's enough." β
"What do you want?" Zheng Zhilong quickly grasped the crux of the matter.
Zheng Jing showed a teachable expression, smiled and took out a map from his arms and handed it to Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong unfolded the map and was shocked.
This is a world map brought by Zheng Jing from the earth, on which the vast African continent, the mysterious North and South America, and the distant Arctic and Antarctic glaciers are all extremely shocking information for the people of this world. Looking at the inconspicuous Japanese kingdom and Southeast Asian islands drawn on the map, Zheng Zhilong, who has been galloping on the sea for many years, can't accept that the area he once thought occupied most of the world is actually only so big.
Zheng Zhilong raised his head suddenly: "Is this map real?" I couldn't believe it. β
"I promise it's true, but you seem to be paying attention to the wrong place."
When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head, and sure enough, he found something on the map that interested him even more, which was the standard small red circles in various places on the map.
However, after a while, Zheng Zhilong raised his head again blankly, pointed to the Liaodong region on the map, which was still part of the Ming Territory at this time, and asked Zheng Jing: "Eh, dare to ask what this oil is?" What is natural gas? β
"You don't need to understand this, in short, you just need to let my Ming military flag be planted in every place I marked, and I will send the equipment for the development of resources at the decisive time, and of course, the weapons and equipment prepared to help you realize the plan to strengthen the army."
Looking at the dense red circle on the map, Zheng Jing smiled, there are too many resources in this world, oil in the Middle East, natural gas in the Northeast, minerals in Australia, animal and plant resources in the Americas, and ...... The sea dragon in the East China Sea and the phoenix on the Kunlun Mountain.
There are so many good things here, relying on the original planned step-by-step method that it will not be fully developed until the Year of the Monkey, and he can't wait, especially those special resources in this world.
That's right, the most precious thing here is not natural resources such as oil and minerals, those unscientific existences that are beyond nature are the most valuable, find a Taoist priest on Wudang Mountain to help copy a book of Taijiquan cultivation exercises, he can get it to the plane market and sell 1000 face coins, go to the legendary East China Sea Dragon Palace to hunt two dragons and come back to peel the skin and cramp, whether these high-grade materials are used or sold, the value is very huge, there are so many good things waiting for him, how can he do it without working hard?
This is not the earth after all, Zheng Jing feels that he doesn't need to take the people here too seriously, after all, they are just "things" created by the center, aren't they?
Xiao Meng looked at Zheng Jing with some concern on the side, he could see that the evil aura in Zheng Jing's smile was getting stronger and stronger, which was not a good thing.
β¦β¦
After arranging this side of the matter, Zheng Jing returned to the sect again, and at this time the disciples were still fighting with Nina, and instructed the disciples to continue to play with this crazy girl whose energy would never run out, until she got tired of playing and took the initiative to go back, and then Zheng Jing went to find Guo Jia.
"How? Is the gas gone? If not, I'll let you scold you again. In the courtyard, as soon as he saw Guo Jia, Zheng Jing's face was immediately filled with a smile, this was an extremely sincere smile, smiling like a flower, and the cold and domineering image when he was outside before was simply two people.
"you." Guo Jia was embarrassed and buried his head directly in Zheng Jing's arms.
In fact, during the time when Zheng Jing went out, Guo Jia, who came out for a walk, had already met with Nina, but at that time, Nina was fighting with her disciples to the most lively time, seeing this scene, even if she was jealous, she didn't think much about it at all, and thought that Nina was specially invited back by Zheng Jing to be a sparring partner.
And Nina...... At that time, she was concentrating on dealing with the attack of her disciples, and she didn't see Guo Jia at all! So, this woman who ran here with Zheng Jing with obvious ill intentions, and the bad water in her stomach could only be soaked. wants to calculate Zheng Jing, but now she is still a little tender.
"If you don't lose your temper, let's get down to business." Zheng Jing picked up Guo Jia's face and said very seriously, while Guo Jia didn't speak and listened carefully.
"After I go back this time, in addition to me may be busy, you will also be busy with me, of course I know that you have never been afraid of being busy, but this time is different, it's not just the kind of simple work that makes you have something to do, if you don't do it well, I'll really be angry."
"What kind of task is it, don't sell it, hurry up." Guo Jia couldn't wait to say, as soon as she heard that there was work to do, she immediately came to her senses.
Zheng Jing handed over a Qiankun bag to Guo Jia, this was the first time he put this kind of thing in Guo Jia's hands, which contained all kinds of goods that he had slowly collected in the plane market for a long time, from daily necessities to cars and airplanes, if all these things were put on the earth in one go, it would inevitably turn the world upside down.
"The task, it's very simple to say, you still continue to run our foreign trade company, but this time you have to be serious, because my requirements are a bit high. I ask you to run the company into the world's largest group company, and I also require that every kind of goods handled in the company must be the world's first! If I give you a bowl, you must make this bowl the world's most well-known brand, let every household use this kind of bowl, I give you a car, you must also give me to operate it into the world's largest car brand, all Japanese and German cars, do you think this is too much to ask? β
Is it excessive? Zheng Jing was obviously asking knowingly again, at least what he said just sounded too much to be unreasonable, Guo Jia opened his mouth, but quickly calmed down.
"It's not too much, I believe that as long as the two of us cooperate well, it is only a matter of time before we achieve the goal you said."
Zheng Jing smiled: "So, do you think this task is not difficult for you?" β
Guo Jia nodded seriously and said: "Of course it's not difficult, although the height of the target you gave is very high, but in the same way, the starting point you gave me is not low, the quality of these goods and commodities you brought back from other worlds is not as simple as a little or two points higher than similar goods on the earth, if you can't manage such an excellent product in your hand, it is definitely a matter of the operator's ability plus a little bit of intellectual injury." β
"Then I can rest assured that I will leave this matter to you, I know that it is a long process to complete this whole thing, and it will take a lot of effort, it doesn't matter, you can complete it in 5 years, or it can take 10 years to complete, I will always be with you in this process, but don't say that I snubbed you."
Guo Jia smiled sheepishly and didn't express any opinions, so she was pulled onto the thief ship by Zheng Jing. (To be continued......)
