Faced with the rude questioning of the junior official in Annan in front of him, Comrade Sha Zhengming, the general of the Ming Dynasty, laughed, and showed an expression of "not as knowledgeable as people with a low level of science": "Isn't this nonsense, of course the ink is wet." As far as the ghost weather of Annan is concerned, it rains every day, how can Wen Mu do it? ”

Ruan Chuntang's face was full of helplessness when he heard this: Once this ink word falls on the paper, it will dry out in a moment, what does it have to do with the rain? In this way, all the boundaries of the whole world where there is rain cannot be saved? ...... Ridiculous!

However, even if he knew in his heart that even if there were countless old official documents in the county office, Ruan Chuntang couldn't refute the other party's words at the moment - the county magistrate could see that this person was deliberately messing around. Since this is the case, with the current scene, it is naturally impossible for him, a civil official, to argue with this Ming general.

Fortunately, Ruan Chuntang knew in his heart what his family was doing this trip: just find out the origin and attitude of the other party, and the rest of the things were not the work of his small county order.

Shaking his head helplessly, Ruan Xian Ling asked the next key question: "Then I don't know the owner of this land deed, the Franco merchant...... May, well, where's May? ”

"Oh, you said Messi, well, an old acquaintance. When the city of Fran was broken, he relied on his legs and feet to run blindly in the chaotic army, and as a result, his leg was broken, which will be cultivated in Macau. ”

Ruan Xian Ling also laughed when he heard this, revealing a "sure enough" expression: "In this way, the maritime merchant is ...... Well, Ter Stegen's is probably not here either? ”

Sha Zhengming's face was full of memories: "Alas, that is a Prussian hero. It's a pity that he insisted on guarding the gate when the city was broken, and now his leg has been broken. If Ruan Xian Ling wants to find someone, he can send his men to visit the city of Macao, presumably this group of maritime merchants is still there. ”

Ruan Chuntang smiled angrily: "The general has no certificate and no official certificate, so he borrowed these few pieces of waste paper with undried ink, and then raised troops to set up camp in the state...... Hmph, the seals are all wrong, how could I have such an official seal in Hengpu County? ”

Sha Zhengming heard this: "The general was ordered by my marshal to receive the land, and it was a military law, and he recognized it as a military order." As for the official seal in your hand, a little official of Annan...... The poor ghost place, maybe carved out of wood, the lines are blurred, who is patient to compare? ”

Hearing such arrogant and unreasonable words, Ruan Chuntang felt that he had completely figured out the other party's intentions.

The next moment, Ruan Xian Ling got up slowly from his seat, put one hand behind his back, and shook the stack of land deeds with the other: "Dare to ask, the general's trip, the court of your country, can Emperor Chongzhen know?" ”

General Sha raised his head and smiled, and proudly stretched out his arm to draw a circle: "I want to teach you that all of you here today are my Ming nobles, the humerus of the imperial court." Emperor...... Hmph, you aborigines have no eyes, have you seen this father-in-law, it is the emperor's most valued minister, Lord Du. ”

Ruan Xuan Tang was born rich and noble, and he was a high-level intellectual who really had the conditions to read the classics. When he sat down, he already had a full view of everyone in the room, knowing that this generation was dressed in an extraordinary posture, and he knew that what Sha Zhengming said was about right.

This situation made Annan County's heart more and more gloomy.

The endorsement of the upper-level political group, combined with the frantically building city outside, such a huge scale of national investment behavior, did not require Ruan Xuan Tang to have a high level of analytical ability, he realized that this time the Ming people were playing really, "the whole country is committing".

As a magistrate on the front lines of the conflict, Nguyen Xuan Tang has an extremely bad view of the future. He already had a vague sense that he was about to face great danger, both internally and externally.

Stretching out the sleeves of his robe and patting the dust that never existed on his legs, Ruan Xian Ling gently raised his hand and threw the beautifully printed waste paper on the ground: "In this way, the lower official will leave!" ”

"No."

After hastily bowing his hand, Ruan Chuntang slowly turned around and walked towards the door under the gaze of many eyes.

When the feasible was about to step on the threshold, Ruan Xuan Tang failed to suppress the patriotic sentiment in his heart. The next moment, he turned around, with a sarcastic look on his face: "The rank has offended me Annan this time, and he is about to follow the story of Emperor Yongle three hundred years ago. ”

"Since he is a noble person from the Ming Kingdom, he must have read history books. You can know that two hundred years ago, the political secretary of Jiaozhi was wiped out overnight, and the Ming people returned north in panic, and how many bones were scattered in a foreign land. ”

"Hmph...... If you want to follow the absurd behavior of your ancestors, dare to ask you, is there a decision to die in a foreign land? ”

After Ruan Chuntang finished saying these words, he looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, and straightened his chest, ready to be killed.

However, things were not what he had imagined.

I thought that my family had poked the lung tube of the Ming people, and it was estimated that I was going to be pulled out and cut off. However, after Ruan Chuntang waited for a while, he found that the room was unusually quiet, and Mingren didn't seem to be angry.

Then something happened to Ruan Xuan Tang's surprise. Sha Zhengming, who was sitting at the top, thought for a while, not only did not get angry, but nodded slowly, and said word by word: "Mr. Ruan is right, Emperor Yongle was in a hurry back then. Ming Guo wanted to wait for the whale to swallow Annan, but he couldn't restrain it, and finally lost a big defeat, and spit out Annan again. ”

"Well, this time it's different."

Sha Zhengming smiled when he said this, leaning on the armrest: "We are reading history, so we learn a lesson." This time, let's take our time, step by step, and start from this Hongji Port. ”

Nguyen Xuan Tang finally walked out of the gate of Hongji Fort safely. This time, he successfully completed the task of detecting the enemy's situation, and gained more than he imagined: the Ming people did not shy away from revealing their intentions, and they didn't even bother to cover up, let alone embarrass him, an Annan sesame official.

The rest of the matter is not something that Ruan Xian Ling can interfere in, and his remaining job is to report everything he hears to Thang Long Mansion. As for the future direction of relations between the two countries, that is what the big men above need to plan for, and it has nothing to do with him, a petty official.

——————————————————————————

Speaking of planning, at the same time that Ruan Chuntang walked out of Hongji Fort, Sha Zhengming and Shao Qiang were also doing market analysis for investors.

Originally, they had planned to wait for the guests to rest for two days. I never thought that an Annan official would come, and the two sides were on the line, and some things were said. In this case, we have no choice but to strike while the iron is hot and give investors a look.

So Shao Sha and the two began to flicker.

"The name of this place is Hongji, and the mining area is full of hundreds of miles, rich in anthracite and thermal coal. The strata here are shallow, so there is no need for miners to dig wells, and only a layer of soil skin needs to be removed to be mined on a large scale...... Thermal coal is the coal that burns boilers specially...... Boiler...... You don't need to go into detail about the boiler, in short, this place is rich in coal. ”

"With the coal, everyone, our upfront expenses will come out. Note that there is no official camp for all coal, whoever digs it out is who's own, and our side has unlimited purchases! All you need to do is invite some local natives to come over, and you can sit on the land and make money. ”

"What, title deeds? At this time, what kind of title deed do you want? The big guy will go out early tomorrow morning to enclose, run horses, run circles, and circle as big as he can. When the circle is ready, the title deed will be uniformly printed and distributed! Don't forget to leave a big one for the emperor! ”

"Annanite? Annam people don't have to think about it! ”

Sha Zhengming said this, walked to the wall, and opened a large-format military map: "It is the rainy season now, which is not conducive to the movement of the army, and the people of Annam cannot move. Wait until after October......"

Sha Zhengming showed a lewd smile on his face at this moment, and drew a circle on the picture with his whip: "You've seen it when the Zhenman comes, right?" At that time, there is no need to trouble the Annam people to come here, Ben will lead the shore bombardment fleet to Thang Long Mansion for a walk, send a few rounds of artillery, talk to that living Cao Cao, and ask if my family's title deed will work! ”

"At that time, let alone rice, everyone can go to the surrounding circle Zhuangzi to grow lychees, let's go to the canning factory on the ground and sell it directly to the capital to make a lot of money!"

Hearing Sha Zhengming say this, there were a few people from Jiangnan among the investors who were excited about the grand occasion of the shelling of the Xu family in Shanghai that day, and these people were all witnesses, and when they heard that they were going to bombard the Annan people again, they suddenly became excited to eat melons.

Although there were some speculations before coming, today the two Sha Shao unveiled their hole cards so nakedly. At this point, the newcomers have learned a complete lesson in the law of the jungle.

However, the more this happens, the more confident investors are in this Annan strategy.

First of all, Yizhou, which has long since become a big granary of paradise, and those wealth-making industries under Cao's hands, so many ready-made examples are placed there. Therefore, in terms of development and making money, the original investors are still confident in the Cao family's plan. In this case, it will be a gold medal trust fund in the future.

Secondly, the people who can sit here today are all meat eaters who drink blood and knock bones for their business. In Daming, it seems that he still has to collect some points, but now he has come to Annan to reclaim the wasteland, to be honest, if Sha Zhengming is not ruthless, not evil, and not tough, the big guy will not agree.

As a result, in the next few days, most of the figures in the investment group have reached agreements with Shao Qiang one after another.

The terms of the agreement are simple: Daming investors will provide funds to open a mine and farm in Hongji. The traverser is responsible for providing security for the investor's property, and is also responsible for providing various science and technology to increase the production of mines, as well as to be used in the cultivation, processing and transportation of agricultural products.

Of course, for the so-called investment, the bigwigs don't need to carry money to Annan at all. Don't forget that the traverser has a base along the coast of Daming, and you can telegraph at any time.

Therefore, investors only need to hand over the silver to the silver number opened by the traverser in Beijing or Jiangnan. The silver will be turned into a local shelter facility, as well as food, cloth, and fuel. Eventually, the resources will be converted into a shipload of displaced people going south and goods going north, so that the "crossing the economic circle" will flourish.

At this point, Annan Raiders finished the first half and entered the halftime period. As the rainy season deepens, the game won't be able to continue with the second half of the show until after October.
