During the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, there were only two businessmen who were really called rich, the first was Shen Wansan, the richest man in Jiangnan in the early Ming Dynasty, and it was rumored that his family property totaled 2 billion taels of silver, but no matter how rich he was, he was just a pure businessman, without any power, and was pinched to death by Zhu Yuanzhang like an ant.

The second is Zheng Zhilong, the richest man in Southeast Asia at the end of the Ming Dynasty, how much property he has cannot be estimated, because he has industries in Fujian, Taiwan, Japan, Lusong, Champa and other places, and he may not know how much he has. And he is most famous not for having a lot of money, but for having a lot of people, according to historical records, Zheng Zhilong's private armed forces were nearly 200,000 people at their peak, and there were no less than 3,000 ships of all kinds!

Zheng Zhilong is not a pure businessman, his identity is mainly executed by the court's attitude towards him, if the court treats him well, then he is a rich businessman, if the court treats him badly, he will immediately become a powerful pirate!

It may seem unreliable that a businessman can confront a country with his private armed forces, and that he is a superpower like the Ming Dynasty, but it is true.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the main military strength was concentrated on land, and the military power on the sea was not strong, if Zheng Zhilong was on land, he would naturally run away when he saw the Ming army, but if it was on the sea, the Ming army would have to run when he saw him! This is not a joke, let alone the navy of the Ming Dynasty, at that time, the navy of the Netherlands, a maritime power, was defeated many times by Zheng Zhilong, and later Zheng Cheng's function defeated the Netherlands and recovered Taiwan, all by virtue of the family background he left.

Such a super-rich second generation is close at hand, it is natural to win it over, and this Zheng Chenggong is not a capricious pirate like Zheng Zhilong, after he received the education of Confucius and Mencius, he completely transformed into a loyal and patriotic five-good young man, and later developed into a national hero and a famous general who resisted the Qing Dynasty, so in Zhu Cijiong's opinion, he is more valuable than Zheng Zhilong.

But how to win him over? With money? Don't be kidding, his Zheng family is much richer than the Ming court, and he doesn't necessarily take it into his eyes. Do you use an official position? What can a five- or six-year-old kid give him? If you want to give it, you have to be someone else, five or six years old is the time to play, even if you give him a first-class master, he is estimated to be troublesome, delaying his time to play!

The best way to win over a person is naturally to do what he likes, what do five or six-year-old children like? He definitely likes toys, but the problem is that even if Zhu Cijiong knows a lot of super fun toys, it's too late to make them now! He definitely likes cartoons better, but the Ming Dynasty didn't have this thing yet. Thinking about it, the only thing I can do now is to tell stories, and Zhu Cijiong knows a lot about the stories told to children, but how to attract him to listen to stories? Zhu Cijiong looked at the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, rolled his eyes, and immediately had an idea.

So, in the stunned eyes of everyone, Zhu Cijiong ordered a large table of pastries, which were beautifully made, but the question was whether this thing could be eaten as a meal? All the men here, you look at me, I look at you, their eyes are full of faint melancholy, only Qin Mingyue looked at a table of pastries with a eager expression.

Fortunately, this table of pastries Zhu Cijiong didn't order for them to eat, our little emperor and other things were almost there, and he directly said: "What kind of expression do you have, I didn't invite you to eat, Mingyue stayed, and the others went to the side table to order it themselves." ”

Everyone got up and sat down at the adjacent table as if they had been amnestied, only Qin Mingyue showed a happy smile, she really pursed her lips and smiled. Zhu Cijiong looked at it stupidly for a while before remembering what was going on, he quickly wiped his saliva, jumped down from the chair, and walked straight towards Zheng Sen.

Zhu Cijiong came to Zheng Sen and bowed his hand and said: "Zheng Gongzi, I take the liberty of meeting a peer in this drunken immortal building, I feel very close to each other when I see Zheng Gongzi, if Zheng Gongzi doesn't dislike it, it is better to move to my side and sit." ”

Zheng Sen was bored, his family asked him to come to Jinling to see the world, and he was followed by adults, none of whom had any common language with them, and he was bored to death all day long. Now suddenly a child of his age came to play with him, and his heart was willing, but he did not make up his own mind, but looked at an elderly scribe beside him.

This old scribe may be his teacher, seeing that his face is full of anticipation, he doesn't dare to go against his will too much, Zheng Zhilong asked them to bring Zheng Sen to Jinling to see the world and make friends with the powerful people of Nandu, this can go up to the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Building is not an ordinary person, the old man looked at Zhu Cijiong There was a stunning girl on the table, but there was no danger, so he nodded slightly.

Seeing that the old man agreed, Zheng Sen jumped down from the chair excitedly, and said as if completing the task: "This brother is reasonable, Zheng Mou came to Jinling this time to get acquainted with the Junjie of Nandu, since the brother is invited, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”

After that, he ran straight to Zhu Cijiong's table, and Zhu Cijiong was stunned, this guy, when he heard him speak, he thought he was a sassy man who read poetry and books, and he was a naughty child for a long time, and he probably memorized the text just now!

When the old man heard what Zheng Sen said, it was called a pride, and he shook his head and shook his head, but when he saw Zheng Sen's actions, he immediately blushed with shame, and he embarrassedly said to Zhu Cijiong: "Let this son laugh, our son is a little anxious, hehe, anxious." ”

Zhu Cijiong doesn't care, it's better to be innocent than deep in the city, he bowed his hand and saluted back: "It doesn't matter, I just like honest friends like Zheng Gongzi, you use it slowly, I'll go first." ”

After that, he turned around and ran, and the old man was also dumbfounded, these two little guys are really in love, they are all the same impatience!

Of course, Zhu Cijiong is not so impatient, he just pretends to be a child like Zheng Sen, after all, children have a common language among themselves, if he is too mature, it is estimated that Zheng Sen will not treat him as a friend.

His trick really worked, Zheng Sen saw him running over like himself, he couldn't help but feel more cordial, and said without seeing it: "I don't know this brother and this sister have a big name, my name is Zheng Sen, my nickname is Fusong, you just call me a little squirrel, don't call me a son, it's awkward." ”

Qin Mingyue has become more and more fond of children since she followed Zhu Cijiong, and when he saw Zheng Sen's cute appearance, he couldn't help but stand up, hugged him to the chair cordially, and said with a smile: "Hehe, what a cute little squirrel, my sister's surname is Qin, Qin Mingyue." ”

This Qin Mingyue's beauty has reached the level of killing all ages, although Zheng Sen is only five or six years old, he was also shocked by her beauty, and couldn't help blurting out: "Sister Mingyue is so beautiful, just like a fairy." What about this brother, what is your name? ”

Zhu Cijiong naturally can't say his name, ordinary people, and even princes and nobles have the possibility of having the same name, only the emperor's name is unique, who dares to give the same name as the current emperor, then don't you look for death! As soon as this real name is revealed, he can't just name Zheng Sen to fool him, and he will count on Zheng Chenggong to help him build an invincible armada in the future.

What to do? Zhu Cijiong's eyes rolled, and he said vaguely: "My surname is Zhu, and I am the third in the family, you can just call me the third brother." ”

Zheng Sen didn't bother about this, he asked innocently: "Third brother, do you know what interesting places are there in Jinling City?" ”

Although he knew that children like to play with toys, watch cartoons, and listen to stories, he really didn't know where children liked to play, so he asked: "Then where do you usually play?" ”

When Zheng Sen heard this, he said infinitely: "When I was in my hometown of Hirado, I liked to go to the beach with the children of the retainers' family to build sand castles and have water fights, but now they are all far away and can't play with me." ”

Hirado, Nima, that's far away in Dongying, of course I can't come over to play with you, and this Jinling is not on the beach, so Zhu Cijiong started the original plan and induced: "I just came to Jinling, I don't know where it's fun, why don't I tell you a story." ”

Zheng Sen naturally applauded, so Zhu Cijiong began to memorize primary school textbooks, what "Cao Chong Calls the Elephant", "Kong Rong Makes Pears", "Saiong Lost the Horse", "Sima Guang Smashes the Cylinder"...... Talking about the sound and color.

Zheng Sen listened with relish, there is a fairy-like sister serving him to enjoy exquisite pastries, and there is a magical third brother to give him the story of the children, he is a little happy, what teachers, guards were thrown by him to Java, he only feels that this third brother is simply his own brother, this Mingyue sister is closer than his own sister!
