When capital converged into a torrent, no country in the sixteenth century could stop its onslaught, let alone India, which was not very good in the first place.

The Mughals, the most powerful and largest dynasty in India's history, were still in disarray, and Shah Jahan's escort to Jinling attracted people to watch from the streets.

"This is the guy who claims to be the emperor of the world?"

"It's so dirty, phew, it's so ugly."

Imagine a person who was transported from India to Jinling in the middle of summer in July, and no one bathed him along the way.

By the time he arrived in Jinling, he was already skinny, and his face that had been a little ruthless in the past was only endlessly tired and old.

Hou Xuanyan actually pitied him, this Mughal emperor was so dignified, he didn't provoke himself, he just took the title of arrogance...

This point stimulated the nerves of Dahua, this is the only war that was not launched because of Hou Xuanyan's will, and it is also the most united heart of the whole country.

The Chinese people, who had always been gentle and kind, became tougher than anyone else in the face of the majesty of their emperor. The emperor of Japan has long been overthrown and executed, and the current Tokugawa family is only called king.

Hou Xuanyan spread his hands very helplessly, signaling his subordinates to behead Shah Jahan in the downtown of Jinling, so as to make the people angry.

The elixir squinted, understood Hou Xuanyan's expression, and waited until the ministers dispersed, and said softly: "Your Majesty doesn't seem to want to kill him, is there any use for this person?" ”

In front of the person next to the pillow, of course, there is no need to hide, Hou Xuanyan sighed and said: "I have no grudge against him in the past and no enmity in the near future, people just claim to be the emperor of the world, and they will destroy his country and kill people, which is too unreasonable... As we all know, I am a reasonable person. ”

The elixir said incredulously: "Your Majesty, this person is unscrupulous and arrogant, and he claims to be the emperor in vain, which is simply a great rebellion. Such a person naturally has one to kill one, and two to kill a pair, how can Your Majesty have such an idea. ”

Hou Xuanyan wiped his eyelids, he didn't want to continue arguing, anyway, everyone was killed, and the Mughal Dynasty was wiped out, so it was better to think about how to govern this newly acquired large piece of land.

Speaking of which, the Indian continent is actually a very good place, and the South Asian continent is a very good land regardless of the people there.

Speaking of colonization, all the officials of the dynasty had little experience, and Yao Qisheng's letter became a ready-made template.

One of the better things about India is that it borders the Chinese Dynasty, especially after Burma, which is so big that it is very difficult to manage.

Especially most of them believe in Hinduism, and it is even more difficult for them to be sinicized, Hou Xuanyan doesn't want to spend this effort at all, so he just applies the colonial system.

India has a vast market and abundant raw materials, and is another paradise for merchants, and Hou Xuanyan can already foresee how much unexpected income this unexpected war will bring to Dahua.

After driving the elixir out of the Military Affairs Pavilion, Hou Xuanyan called the officials who had returned from Sri Lanka Island to ask for news about this lion country.

Looking at the first saint below, a little nervous military man, Hou Xuanyan asked in a soft tone: "I heard that in Egypt, the excavation of the canal has begun, do you know the specific progress?" ”

Speaking of these things, the burly man returned to normal, and the answer was fluent.

"Back to Your Majesty, Governor Yao personally went to Egypt and recruited a large number of people. And spent a huge amount of money to buy off the Ottoman kingdom, so that they could not interfere. In general, the excavation of the canal went smoothly, but I don't know what the follow-up will be. ”

Hou Xuanyan nodded secretly, this group of rat-eyed Europeans still don't know the meaning of the canal. It wasn't until the Chinese warships sailed into the Mediterranean that they knew if it was a fantasy.

It was getting late, Hou Xuanyan got up and stretched his waist, and the corner of his eye happened to catch a glimpse of the officers in the hall secretly looking at him.

After being discovered, the officer was frightened and quickly bowed his head.

Hou Xuanyan sighed helplessly, he was admired by everyone in the army back then, and he was sought after by everyone everywhere.

Like now, some officers see themselves like cats, and after their power is high, they don't have the feeling of the stars holding the moon. Now I am like the sun in the blue sky and the white sun, radiant but not half a bosom friend, the so-called high places are not cold, nothing more than that.

Especially the ruthlessness that the elixir inadvertently showed just now also made him a little upset, and waved his hand to signal the officer to step back.

Xiao Lizi came in with a teacup, and when he saw that His Majesty was not very interested, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming and the fragrance is pleasant, why don't you go to enjoy it?" ”

Hou Xuanyan shook his head and said, "I'm not in the mood, you go find a well-fitting dress, let's go out of the palace." ”

The emperor left the palace casually, and Yu Li was not in line with the ceremony, but Hou Xuanyan was not within this range.

He himself is the founding emperor, and what he says can be regarded as a rule, and Xiao Lizi did not dare to disobey it, so he ran out to find His Majesty's civilian clothes.

As the emperor's personal eunuch, Li Qi originally had a very high rank, and he also had a good chance to be in charge of the celebrant eunuch. Who knew that His Majesty had a whim, and allocated the inherent territory of the eunuch to Ma Lingyao for control, and she was firmly controlled by her, so Li Qi's position was very embarrassing.

He can only do some things to serve the emperor, but fortunately, his character is not the kind of competitive, now everyone respects him, and His Majesty is also an excellent person to get along with, Li Qi has no other ideas.

After Hou Xuan's small court meeting was dispersed, it was still early and not yet noon, and the weather in August was still very hot, and there were not many pedestrians on the streets.

Hou Xuanyan is not afraid of the heat, strolling in Changganli under the sun, the surrounding shops are still very lively, but the pedestrians on the street are sparse, and no one wants to bask in this sun for a long time.

Xiao Lizi's body was much worse than Hou Xuan's performance, but he jumped up and down, raising his hands to cushion his toes, trying to shield the emperor from the sun.

Hou Xuanyan smiled helplessly and scolded: "Okay, look at what you look like, just roll behind and follow." ”

"Son, don't be careful, if you get it, we people will all die."

Hou Xuanyan snorted coldly, and looked at the large group of people behind him who were pitiful, so he found a small shop and got in.

The guards dressed as entourages behind him were relieved, and after Hou Xuan came in, he found that this was actually a store specializing in exotic goods.

There are Javanese spices, Indian incense, Western costumes, and so on. Hou Xuanyan looked around, but did not find a few useful, today's world is not the next generation, today's Asia is the export of goods, and the West's thirst for Asian goods is gradually reaching its peak.

Without Hou Xuanyan, this trend would have slowly decreased in the past few decades, and thus began to decline.

It can be seen that although the idea of this shopkeeper is novel, it is not easy to make money back in Jinling City, where every inch of land is valuable, and Hou Xuanyan saw that few pedestrians in the past entered the store, so he knew that the business here was not very good.

Moreover, the shopkeeper sat lazily in front of the counter with one hand on his cheek, and did not get up when he saw the guests coming, obviously not believing that this group of people would buy things.

Hou Xuanyan just wanted to walk out of the store, only to see a strange machine placed on the counter at the door.

This strange thing instantly attracted Hou Xuanyan's attention, and for other people in this era, this thing was like a pile of garbage.

But when Hou Xuanyan saw this thing, his heart chuckled: Damn... Is this a model car?

Hou Xuanyan became interested in an instant, woke up the drowsy shopkeeper, and asked, "How do you sell this thing, who gave it to you?" ”

The shopkeeper touched the saliva on his hand, wiped it behind him while people were not paying attention, and saw Hou Xuanyan dressed luxuriously, but just wanted to step forward but found that he was referring to the pile of scrap iron at the door, and his excited face immediately collapsed.

Hou Xuanyan knew at a glance that this thing must not have been made by the shopkeeper himself, otherwise he would not have had this expression.

The shopkeeper said lazily: "This is a child's thing, if the guest officer likes it, you might as well buy my bottle of Mughal divine oil, to ensure that you are majestic and majestic, and you sing every night." If you buy it, I'll give it to you at the door. ”

Hou Xuanyan couldn't wait to give him a big mouth, this is obviously a model of a steam car, and it was worthless to be belittled by this confused shopkeeper.

Hou Xuanyan has long been surprised, he has worked so hard to provide suitable soil for the development of science and technology, not only promulgated the patent law, but also set up a generous bonus system, why nothing important has appeared.

It stands to reason that the Han people were able to make the four great inventions a long time ago, and the IQ of the white-skinned people is not known how many times higher, so there is no reason not to enter the era of the Big Bang of invention.

It seems that many talents are still buried in the people, just take this model as an example, the maker must have his own set of ideas.

Under Hou Xuanyan's questioning, the shopkeeper said: "This thing was made by my nephew, he was originally a student of the Craftsman Pavilion, and he can be described as having a bright future." Who knew that this kid was not motivated, and he hooked up with female students in school, ruining the reputation of other people's daughters. That girl's family is a meritorious Northern Expedition general, and she is also a henchman of our Duke of Qi, and she sent her daughter into the Craftsman Pavilion to let her accompany Her Royal Highness Princess Qin to study. This is a big disaster, the family kicked out my uncompetitive nephew, this kid suffers from lovesickness, and he doesn't work properly every day.

If I hadn't seen that it was not easy for his old parents, I would have broken this kid's legs and feet. ”

The shopkeeper talked about this, or gritted his teeth and hated, originally a student of the Craftsman's Pavilion, it was the glory of the whole family, who knew that this kid not only did not cherish it, but also engaged in such a bad thing.

Hou Xuanyan twisted his mouth after hearing this, and scolded: "It's just an ordinary man and woman in love, how can it be as unbearable as you say, it's really pedantic." Take Master Ben to meet your infatuated nephew, and by the way, see how he made this thing. ”

Etiquette is greater than the sky, which is the mainstream concept of people in this era, and Hou Xuanyan's words are too avant-garde, so that the shopkeeper is very angry.

"This boy is so domineering, and he still has to look at the store below, and he doesn't want to take him to see my nephew. If Childe is interested, he might as well go by himself. ”

"Bold!" Xiao Lizi was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his hair stood up, and his snort scared everyone.

Hou Xuanyan glanced at him angrily and scolded: "What are you calling nonsense, go check it now, after having lunch in the restaurant in front, I want to see this expelled student." ”

Xiao Lizi's anger has not subsided, but His Majesty has already opened the golden mouth, so he naturally does not dare to pursue it again.

Hou Xuanyan is not a stingy person, and others don't know their identity, and it is normal for them to have discordant concepts so that they don't speculate. If this is the case, he will take out his identity to oppress people and force this lazy shopkeeper to kowtow and admit his mistakes, which is really a very inferior act in his opinion.

The shopkeeper saw that he was very angry, but now under the protection of Hualu, he was not afraid of being bullied by the big dogs, so he did not show fear.

Hou Xuanyan smiled and bought the model at the door, let the guards carry it, and walked to the restaurant in front.

In the private room in the restaurant, Hou Xuanyan was full of wine and food, and Xiao Lizi had already arrived with the dismissed little craftsman.

The little craftsman looked very decadent, with green stubble and sunken eyes, and he looked like he was about to die.

"Look at your little bit of interest!" Hou Xuanyan hated iron and said with hatred: "Let me ask you, did you make this thing?" ”

The little craftsman rubbed his eyes, nodded silently, and asked softly, "I exchanged it for three buns with my cousin, either of you?" ”

Hou Xuanyan was speechless for a while, no wonder the shopkeeper's attitude was so bad, if he hadn't touched himself, this young man would have been ruined.

"I ask you, how did you make this thing, and have you ever made a real thing?"

The little craftsman was obviously in a mediocre mood, and shook his head, Hou Xuanyan was blushing by his angry face, and scolded with a face: "Things that are not productive, if you like it, you will pursue it, is it that as soon as someone else's high-ranking and powerful father comes, you will be scared into this soft-footed shrimp." Just like you, why ask a girl to follow you, it's better to find a rooster that is reliable, and you can help catch insects when it is critical. ”

The little craftsman was so angry that he turned around and was about to leave, when he was stopped by the guards. Grabbed him lightly, and then hung in mid-air, kicking and punching weakly.

Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "I can't see that you are still a love saint, so let's do it, if you build this car, and then other girls really like you, I will let you stay together, what do you think?" ”

The little craftsman's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and he said, "Do you know who his father is?" That's a big guy who has reached the heavens! ”

The surrounding guards couldn't help laughing, Hou Xuanyan touched his chin and said, "No matter how big he is, he can still be bigger than me, I am the Emperor of Dahua, the lord of all peoples." You say, can I help you? ”
