Zhang Mingzhen hid under the protection of the soldiers, gloating at Mu Tianbo, whose face was green.

These green worms have long been notorious.

The first thing the merchants who come to Nanjing is to hide from these villagers, and even speak as official as possible, otherwise once they are heard in the country, there will be green worms and sharks swarming with blood, more than 60,000 green worms, there is always one suitable for you. Basically, if you don't get stripped naked by them, you don't want to get out, and you don't dare not give it or call the police, because these guys have a certain say in their hometown, and they are indeed a bunch of disgusting things here, but they all have heads and faces when they return to their hometowns, and if you offend them, you will be in trouble when you go back.

But don't expect to pay it back.

We are fighting traitors for the country and the people, and we are fighting traitors for the Ming Dynasty.

Eat your watermelon......

What's the point of spending your money?

Don't you want to contribute to Daming?

Poor Tang Wang and Mu Tianbo knew that when they entered Nanjing City, they first had to prevent fire, theft, and green worms! From the moment Mu Tianbo took out the money bag, the tragedy of the two of them was already doomed, and in the blink of an eye, more than two hundred hungry Yunnan Xiucai overwhelmed them.

Pocketbook?

The money bag has long been robbed by someone who doesn't know!

All the bits and pieces of their bodies were swept away in an instant, and even the luggage on the carriage disappeared into the sea of people, and even their house slaves were tragically affected, and countless hands were torn from their bodies in their chaotic screams, just like a classic scene in Resident Evil. It can be said that it is like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and in the blink of an eye, when the cyan color recedes, this vassal king and a duke still have the official clothes on their bodies, and the official hat on their heads is still there, but they are also wrinkled like a poodle that has been rubbed wildly. They stood petrified in the suddenly empty street, looking at the distant cyan without tears, and the latter cheered and walked away, and vaguely heard someone saying something like a flower.

"The king, the prince of Qianguo, the last general actually wants to remind you!"

Zhang Mingzhen stepped forward and said sincerely.

Mu Tianbo glanced at him resentfully.

"A little bit of money, they're also doing business!"

Tang Wang said very sadly.

It's really a shame, his family background is not thick!

"That, they actually didn't lack money when they came, and they could also let their families come by mail and remittance through the post office, the reason why they didn't have enough money was mainly to squander it on the Qinhuai River."

Zhang Mingzhen mending knife.

Tang Wang also glanced at him with resentment.

The postal system of Daming has been basically completed, at present, except for extremely remote areas, the vast majority of counties can be through mail trucks, although only to the county, and in some places because the roads have not been repaired, the mail truck can only have a trip for a long time. But these talents are not those mud legs in the poor countryside, they are all heads and faces, and they have fixed contacts with Xuezheng there, and they want to write a letter home and then ask them to send money home at least it is easy to operate, and the post office is not without remittance business.

But......

When they arrive in a bustling city like Nanjing, how can they still control how many they can send!

Those famous prostitutes smiled and were stunned!

Just take as much money as you want.

In the end, they basically threw the Qinhuai River.

After they asked for it a few times from their families, they already had no face to ask for it anymore, and now many people live by fighting the autumn breeze, not to mention those merchants, even those civil officials of the same nationality are annoying them. The main thing for these guys is to find some friends and in-laws who can't be beaten by eight poles, and go to their house to fight the autumn breeze.

The more that kind of peach and plum is all over the world, the more unlucky it is.

Liu Ru is the students who spent the old money last year, the late students, the township party and the like, it is said that they scattered more than 10,000 yuan a year, so that they all began to sell jewelry to spend the day.

I have to say that Lao Qian is also a broken family for the country.

Tang Wang and Mu Tianbo looked at each other.

Then they smiled bitterly, and walked into the carriage together, but fortunately, at this time, the green worms also passed, and they went straight to Chengtianmen and entered the palace very smoothly. At this time, the palace was not a few years ago, and those dilapidated buildings that were basically unimportant were all demolished by Yang Qing, after all, the entire palace even the palace maids and eunuchs were counted as only a thousand people. Since Nandu, there has not been an additional one, and those useless buildings are not worth repairing at all, so it is better to simply demolish and plant flowers and trees. The buildings that must be preserved have all been renovated, especially the large plate glass casting technology has made the glass windows popularized in the palace, and the new gas square lights have been officially connected to the palace after testing, and the Ming Palace has completely shown a new look.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, the three Tang kings continued to move forward, and soon passed the end gate, the noon gate, bypassed the front hall and entered the back gong, and arrived at the Qianqing Palace where Princess Kunxing lived.

But the princess is not here.

They waited for a while, and soon a eunuch summoned them to the Imperial Garden.

They had no choice but to go to the Imperial Garden again.

"King, this is the Duke of Qian, right?"

Yang Qing looked at the two of them and smiled.

"Xingong!"

The three returned the salute.

"I'm a little tired of sowing seeds, I'm resting in the room, Princess Zhaoren and I will entertain the two, we are not outsiders, and we don't need those vulgar rituals, the two kings have come to work hard, please sit down first!"

Yang Qing said very simply.

Next to him, Lori sat down first.

Zhang Mingzhen also unceremoniously pulled a rattan chair and sat down here, in fact, as long as it is not a formal occasion, in the main hall or various ceremonies, whether it is Yang Qing or Princess Kunxing, they are used to this simple way, including many red tapes in the palace have also been directly canceled. And the Tang and Wang duo, who met this way of meeting the minister for the first time, hesitated for a moment before sitting down on the rattan chair that the eunuch had moved, and then looked ahead with doubts. The imperial garden in front of them was completely devoid of flowers and plants, and in fact it was a cultivated land, and some eunuchs and court maids were planting something in the field. Even among these people, they saw Concubine Yuan, who did not come to see them, and continued to take the palace maid to sow seeds in the field.

"Xingong, what is this?"

Tang Wang looked at a glass-covered greenhouse not far away and said suspiciously.

He knew that the royal garden had become a vegetable garden.

It is said that in order to save expenses, in order to show the virtue of thrift, the Empress Dowager Yi'an gave an order, the already abandoned imperial garden should be shoveled and then planted, this palace has been abandoned for more than 200 years, although there are eunuchs left behind, but many places have actually become wasteland. Not only here, but many of the vacant land in the imperial city have also been converted into vegetable fields, which are planted with popular crops such as tomatoes, and these are larger than the outside and sell well, according to legend, because they are stained with the dragon energy of the palace.

In short, it is extremely sought after in the outside market.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the palace sells vegetables, although Yang Qing is a profiteer, it will not come to this point, even if there are surplus vegetables in the palace, they are transported to various Salesian homes in the city.

What the palace sells to the palace is the seeds.

The seeds of these things are also stained with the dragon qi of the palace and even the immortal qi of the king of the country, of course, they are not ordinary, these things planted in the palace are for the palace and those students outside, but the seeds can't all be eaten and planted. The surplus was secretly sold by those eunuchs and palace maids, and after the people who bought it were planted, because it was really good, then it could be sold in the name of the imperial seed......

Well, excellent, artificially bred varieties of vegetables spread like this.

In other words, Yang Qing also took great pains.

But the effect is really good.

After all, there is a mysterious gimmick, so the value increases instantly, and there are even their own cultivation of similar excellent varieties to pretend to be the royal seed, which greatly promotes the improvement of seeds. For example, at this time, tomatoes that were more in line with modern aesthetics had appeared in the kitchens of Nanjing, and the varieties of chili peppers introduced by the British from the North American colonies and artificially cultivated them have made them not so spicy......

Actually, it's a bell pepper.

This ghost thing is artificially cultivated by the North American variant of the pepper, but it has not really been born at this time, Yang Qing can't wait, according to his calculations, there are another ten or eight years, and the bell pepper can basically be announced. He even grew the onions that Princess Kunxing hated, and he had all the others such as cabbage, lettuce, and cauliflower, and in order to maintain the monopoly of silk fabrics in Europe for the Ming court, the British East India Company did its best to meet all the reasonable or unreasonable demands of the Duke of Xinguo......

Including the one in his greenhouse.

Coffee.

It's coffee.

Don't underestimate this.

In order to get him less than a pound of coffee seeds, the East India Company killed two employees, because the Arabs forbade the export of coffee seeds, and they could cook as many coffee beans as they wanted, and if they dared to take the seeds, they would be hacked to death. The only one in Europe who stole the seeds was the Dutch, and the Dutch would not give it to anyone else, so the British East India Company spent a lot of money to get a batch of seeds in the port of Mocha, and then gave him such a pound. After all, if Yang Qing was to exchange the monopoly of palace silk fabrics, Portuguese and Spanish merchants would definitely steal it from him, and everyone knew that this thing was produced in the farmland not far from Mocha Port, and even the Nanyang Company itself had merchant ships sailing over there. As long as the price is forged, there will always be some, throw out 10,000 dragon yuan, and the local guarantee is that someone will act as a traitor, since Yang Qing knows this kind of thing, then the British can't stop him from getting it, and the silk fabrics of the Ming court can only be sold by Yang Qing's own family.

Besides, the Dutch had already started planting, and the British knew that there was no point in hiding it.

"It's about the same as tea!"

Yang Qing looked at the coffee seedlings in the greenhouse and said.

This early was still in the greenhouse insurance.

After the Dutch stole back the seeds, they were also cultivated in the greenhouse first, although the Dutch latitude is much higher than Nanjing, but the climate difference is not big, as for the future this can only be planted in Yunnan, China's coffee was introduced to Taiwan at the earliest, and the farthest are to Shandong, but only Yunnan is really stable and forms an industry.

"It's like tea, so why grow something like that?"

Tang Wang said suspiciously.

"Better than nothing!"

Yang Qing said.

In fact, he also knew that this was not very useful, after all, the Dutch would grow coffee all over the world until it overflowed, but now he seemed to have a compulsive compulsion to collect, always trying to get everything that could be introduced. Besides, a good servant like the East India Company, if he doesn't call for nothing, as long as he hangs the bait of the silk fabrics of the Ming court, the East India Company will have to wag its tail like a pug. They had just ordered a batch of embroideries last year, one of which had the coat of arms of the Bourbon family, which was made by the Jiangning Manufacturing Bureau, and the Dutch had told him a month earlier out of jealousy, and the British had purchased it for 10,000 taels of silver, and finally went back and slaughtered the King of France for 50,000 louis.

Twenty times the windfall profits!

Counting the difference in the ratio of gold and silver between the two countries, the profit is more than fifty times!

Then why didn't he let the East India Company work more? Compared with 50,000 gold louis, what are the dead employees of the East India Company? What is it to collect some crop seeds for him all over the world? It is not worth mentioning that he has traveled tens of thousands of miles to transport a few horses, and the first batch of Shire horses should have set sail in London a month ago.

Of course, these are not what Tang Wang and these people can know.

"The king led a brigade through the canal, with the first 400,000 gold coins set off first, at this time to Xuzhou basically the Yellow River flood season is over, and then continue to the Yellow River to Luoyang. Li Zicheng's people receive it in Luoyang, you check the amount of the gold coins with them and continue to wait in Luoyang, and the remaining silver coins will be transported to Luoyang in batches over the next month. However, two million need to be deducted, these two million are Li Zicheng's purchase of grain on our side, which is used by their own people, and these grains are transported north at the same time, all you need is to check with them 13 million gold and silver coins. A total of 13 million will be delivered, and you will set off from Luoyang to Chang'an to pick up the car, as for whether Your Majesty is willing to go down the Yellow River in Luoyang, or go south to enter the Han River, it depends on Your Majesty's meaning. ”

Yang Qing said.

"Where will Xingong pick up the car?"

Mu Tianbo said.

"If you come by the Yellow River, then I will lead some officials from Nanjing to Yangzhou, and if you go south to the south of the Han River, then you will reach Dasheng Pass."

Yang Qing said.

He doesn't care about this, he is not afraid of someone in Nanjing turning over wherever he goes, there are millions of his fanatical followers outside the city, not to mention that there are two guards in the city, tens of thousands of military police in the city, more than 20,000 Jinyi guards plus four militia troops, all of which can be put into Nanjing City in one day.

Even the 70,000 green worms who despise them can trample on them and sing about conquest.

Artillery is not needed to deal with them at all.

Riot rounds for the police are enough.

So where to pick up Zhu Cihong is not an essential difference for him, in other words, he dares to go to Chang'an to pick him up, but he doesn't know if Li Zicheng dares or not.

Tang Wang and Mu Tianbo looked at him with somewhat complicated eyes, it was obvious that Yang Qing's openness on this issue surprised them, at this time they didn't know if Yang Qing really had a clear conscience, or if he was empty-sighted, saying this......

This traitor is always difficult to understand.

"Don't look at me like that, why do you always doubt me? Why have I done so much and you still can't believe me? ”

Yang Qing said.

Then he stood up and looked up at Lang Lang at a forty-five degree angle......

"Knowing that I sin against me, it is only spring and autumn!"

The guy sighed cheekily.
