After eating, Zhu Hongsan didn't say anything, Ma Ruyan came over to serve Zhu Hongsan to take off and rest.

Zhu Hongsan asked, "What about Zhu Jiang?" ”

Ma Ruyan said: "Jiang'er and his brother went to sleep with their aunt. ”

"You're not afraid that your aunt will be jealous? Give you little shoes to wear in the future? ”

Ma Ruyan lowered his head and said, "What can I do, I have been robbed by you and have accepted my fate." ”

Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but be moved when he saw the smoke under the light. Zhu Hongsan's wives have their own characteristics, Ma Xiaofang is a first-class good figure, the Dong sisters are twins, Zhu Youjia is a cold beauty like an iceberg, Bai is the charm of the play, Zhu Yujiao is noble, Yan Waner is strong (Zhu Hongsanyu: "Sleeping with her feels like being raped"), Bian Yujing is a tenacious woman, and Qian Yuting is small.

And the horse Ruyan in front of him is pitiful, just like Lin Daiyu in the dream of Red Mansions, looking like a sick beauty. Soft-spoken, soft-spoken, soft-spoken.

Zhu Hong's heart was up, and without waiting for Ma Ruyan to undress herself, he stripped her naked a few times, and didn't go back to bed, so he started smoking on the table.

Zhu Hongsan just came back, and he really didn't have the physical strength. I got up after one time. Ma Ruyan also got up and cleaned up. After the incident, Zhu Hongsan hugged Ma Ruyan and slept beautifully.

The next day, Zhu Hongsan got up and finished breakfast. Someone at the door reported that four gentlemen were already waiting in the lobby.

When they came to the lobby, the four of them had already been waiting there, and they got up to say hello when they saw Zhu Hongsan coming.

Ma Mingyuan said: "The lord has been gone for half a year this time, what is going on in Beijing?" There are all kinds of things that we have on our side. ”

Zhu Hongsan sighed and told the four strategists about his trip to Beijing. Hearing that Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, Zhu Hongsan looked at the expressions of the four people, which were obviously different.

Ma Mingyuan's face was full of lightness. Ma Jiyuan looked crying, he had never been so sad when his wife died. Feng Ziyong's face was expressionless, and he looked up at Fang Liang and didn't know what to think. Tong Yangjia gritted his teeth, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to stab Chongzhen a few times to relieve his hatred.

When Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, Ma Mingyuan asked, "My lord, what about the whereabouts of the three princes?" ”

How dare Zhu Hongsan say that Zhu Hongyi was slaughtered, he sighed and said, "I heard that he died in the chaos." ”

Ma Mingyuan's face became more relaxed, and he said: "Dongguan County received the edict of King Fu of Nanzhili in June, and it seems that King Fu deserves his name." ”

Zhu Hongsan shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, at that time, some people in the Donglin Party wanted to welcome King Feng Lu to the throne, but they didn't go to King Fu to unite the four towns of Jiangbei first, and first went to worship the mausoleum of Taizu. In addition, King Fu's bloodline is indeed closer than King Lu, so the Donglin-stirring sticks are forced to support King Fu because of reality. But I think these-stirring sticks will make a big mess in the future. ”

The four people in the room were all human spirits, and they knew what was going on as soon as they heard Zhu Hongsan say this.

Ma Jiyuan said angrily: "Now that the country is ruined and the family is ruined, when is it, why are these people still messing around like this." ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "It's very simple, just interests. Ma Shiying squeezed out Shi Kefa, and now no one in the Donglin Party can say anything in front of the emperor, how can he be worthy of the word party if he doesn't do something. ”

On the side, Tong Yangjia had no loyalty to the Ming Dynasty at all, and said on the side: "Lord, now Chongzhen's family is dead. The small court of Nanzhili is still fighting more than once, why don't we raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch? ”

This sentence was really naked, and Ma Jiyuan, who was opposite, stood up suddenly, pointed at Tong Yangjia and said, "Tong Yangjia, why are you so unsightly?" Where have you read all the sage books? ”

Tong Yangjia didn't care about that, and said: "I haven't been an official of the Ming Dynasty for a day, everything I have is given by the lord, and my current family is ruined by Chongzhen." ”

Ma Jiyuan was about to say something, but Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't quarrel between the two gentlemen." It's not yet time, and although the small court of Nanzhili is suffering from internal and external troubles, its overall strength is still stronger than ours. What we are doing now is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watch the small court fight to the death with the Manchu Qing or the Liukou, and let's develop our strength in the back. ”

Zhu Hongsan's words also set a goal for the development of the past few years, that is, to develop strength in a muffled voice, and we will talk about it later.

Ma Mingyuan then asked: "Lord, what else is there news from Nanjing?" ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said: "Before I left, the emperor gave me the identity of the king of Chu, and my uncle has already obtained the official position of governor of Liangguang. He also got the official positions of four prefects. ”

Hearing that Zhu Hongsan had an official position in his hands, the four of them stopped talking, and their eyes revealed their desire for an official position.

Zhu Hongsan smiled secretly in his heart, "It seems that no one is a saint, even a Taoist gentleman like Ma Jiyuan is eager to be an official." But that's fine, it's easy to grasp when there is demand, what do you want to do if you are not greedy for money, not greedy for power, and not lustful? Don't do anything, just kill it. ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "There are four prefects in total, Guangzhou Mansion invites Mr. Feng to sit in the town, Leizhou Mansion invites the eldest brother to sit in the town, Qiongzhou Mansion invites Mr. Tong to sit in the town, and there is also Zhaoqing Mansion is the residence of the governor of Liangguang, please ask Mr. Feng's father-in-law Xu Dali to come out." ”

After speaking, Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Mingyuan. Ma Mingyuan saw that the four prefects had people and nothing to do with themselves, so he pretended to be casual on the surface, but there was a sense of loss in his eyes.

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "As for the second brother, my Chu Wangfu still lacks a long history, and I want to invite the second brother to serve as it, I don't know if the second brother agrees?" ”

The history of the Ming Dynasty palace is the fifth grade, the same official position as the prefect, no rights, and the daily affairs of the palace. But that is another palace, now Zhu Hongsan's Chu palace is powerful, all kinds of troops, workers, merchants, farmers a total of almost 100,000 people, this long history is responsible for the affairs of these people, the appointment of officials at all levels, the distribution of money, the production of factories, if the Chu palace is a small kingdom, then this long history is the first auxiliary of this kingdom.

These four people are all dragons and phoenixes among people, so they naturally know the weight of this long history, Ma Jiyuan, Feng Ziyong, and Tong Yangjia all rose up to congratulate Ma Mingyuan.

Ma Mingyuan is also very happy, so that after the success in the future, I am afraid that he will not be able to run away from the position of the first assistant.

After Zhu Hongsan saw the four of them congratulating each other, he continued: "Four gentlemen, everyone's task is very heavy, and I expect that the Manchu Qing Dynasty will go south in March next year." At that time, no matter whether the small court can hold on or not, our development must be put first. Even if it is the same as the Southern Song Dynasty in the future, we can negotiate conditions with the imperial court if we have the strength in our hands. If the small court can't stand it, we will have to take the responsibility of Zhongxing Daming. ”

The four of them nodded yes.

Zhu Hongsan continued: "The task of the Guangzhou government is to ask Mr. Feng to govern according to the experience of Dongguan, and this king wants a clean, prosperous and strong Guangzhou. Guangzhou will be an economic center in southern China in the future, so Mr. Feng will have to work hard. ”

Feng Ziyong said: "Don't worry, my lord, but please let me take Li Fugui with you, this guy has a very good way of how to govern." ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Yes, Mr. Feng can arrange the position himself." ”

Zhu Hongsan then said to Ma Jiyuan: "Big brother went to Leizhou, where a large amount of sugarcane is grown, and I have a technique to make snow sugar. I handed over the recipe to the eldest brother, and the money will depend on the eldest brother in the future. ”

Ma Jiyuan clenched his fists and said, "As the lord wishes." ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded, and said to Tong Yangjia: "Mr. Tong, the Qiongzhou Mansion you go to is the focus, and our future steel is all on you." ”

Tong Yangjia asked, "I haven't heard that there is an iron mine in Qiongzhou Mansion." ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "The iron mine is in the Jinniuling Mountain, about six miles south of Shilu Town, Changjiang, Yazhou, this big iron mine starts from Shilu River in the north, reaches Yangjiaoling in the south, starts from Shiluling in the west, and reaches Hongshantou in the east, with a radius of more than 30 miles. It is a long strip that is long from north to south and narrow from east to west. The iron rate of this iron mine is very high, and it depends on Mr. Tong what kind of development we can achieve in the future. ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he said to Ma Mingyuan: "The second brother must arrange the personnel, and the masters and craftsmen of mining must be given priority to the Qiongzhou Mansion." ”

Ma Mingyuan nodded in agreement.

Tong Yangjia was originally a little unhappy to see that he was brought to the ends of the earth, but now he sees that Zhu Hongsan attaches so much importance to the production of iron ore, and feels that he is being reused.

Tong Yangjia stood up and said: "Since there is a big iron mine in that place, his subordinates must mine it openly for the Lord." ”
