Chapter 164: The East Wind Moves West

Facing the rising sun, Zhu Yousong pushed open the door, and after washing, he and Yue Yingying, who was lying on the bed, laughed lightly and walked out of the room.

Walking to the study, Zhu Yousong was triumphant. "Hmph, it's still a master, it's not unbearable, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning. Hey. ”

Ma Shiying came to the palace in a hurry, and under the guidance of his subordinates, he came to the study and passed the will of the court.

Reading in the previous battle against bandits in King Fu, for the sake of disaster relief, the merits and demerits are offset.

Zhu Yousong sneered and said: "This time, we also want to thank those Tartars, if it weren't for them, our Emperor His Majesty would be eager to raise the whole country to crusade against me, the vassal king." ”

Ma Shiying smiled, paced, held the teacup, and said: "Once the soldiers of the whole country are mobilized, they will spend millions of dollars and food every day. Although the emperor is the king of a country and controls the four seas, he is afraid that he is powerless to mobilize so many soldiers and horses.

But there are fewer people coming, and it won't be much stronger than Yang He, this old man is the most pitiful, he was killed by a eunuch eunuch, and committed suicide in Dongshan to thank the emperor. ”

Zhu Yousong gathered the defeated army, and already knew the news of Yang He's suicide, he regretted: "Unexpectedly, this Yang He is a bit responsible, much stronger than the eunuch who escaped and his emperor master." It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer such people in today's court. I heard that our little emperor listened to the advice of the ministers and basically exempted the commercial taxes in Jiangnan? ”

"There is such a thing, those big businessmen in Jiangnan provide real money for these officials and gentlemen every year, and it is time for them to repay. After all, when Wei Zhongxian was in power, they also suffered a lot. ”

Zhu Yousong disagreed, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said sarcastically: "Those people have thousands of dollars in their pockets, which one is not more comfortable than us princes." Their so-called hardships are just paying the taxes they should have paid and earning a little less, and they are not satisfied at all. Businessmen seek profit, but nothing more than that. I heard that some Jin merchants at the border gate even started a transaction with the Tartars for the sake of gold and silver.

These thieves are bold enough to not only smuggle grain, grass and iron utensils, but also use these things to finance the enemy. What's more, the Tartars entered the customs to burn, kill and loot, and the goods they obtained were also traded with them, which was simply madness.

Those who do not care about the survival of the Han people, only care about the selfishness of the family, and forget the righteousness for small profits, there is no one more than this. Every time I think of them, I get angry, and sooner or later, I will have to kill all these birdmen before I can get out of this evil breath. ”

Ma Shiying didn't know what was going on, and thought that the prince had some special channels, and he even knew about these things. As a court official, he didn't know it, and his trust in the palace deepened.

sent Ma Shiying out of the palace, and happened to meet Xu Erdou and Liu Yi, two difficult brothers. The two of them hung their heads and took a group of subordinates to prepare to go out of the city to control the water. Seeing Zhu Yousong, he hurriedly came over to salute.

"Hehe, Adoumai As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, as the grandson of Old Xu, you are really talented, I heard that you did a good job."

Xu Erdou is an out-and-out gentleman, but he is still a poor gentleman, and he has always regarded eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling as a serious profession.

Unexpectedly, he followed Zhang Yuanhua to Luoyang, and since then he has become a doer.

This is simply a disaster for him, and he has to worry about it for a lifetime, which is not as good as these few months. He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't make fun of me, how can I have any talent." The people sent by the prince are all proficient in water conservancy, and I am just planning and scheduling. This job can be done by anyone, even this black guy himself, he can do it, I don't believe the prince asked him to try. ”

Liu Yi followed Xu Erdou and was so tired of doing things together, but he didn't expect this kid to be so wilted and so bad that he even wanted to push it on his head, and he was about to have a seizure. But Zhu Yousong had just reprimanded him, Yu Wei was still there, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, he just looked at Xu Erdou with bared teeth, and hated to poke him to death with his eyes.

"Okay, don't be poor with me here, go to work, I'll count you as absent if you miss work." Zhu Yousong said with a smile.

Xu Erdou drooped his face, took a step, and took a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to carry out his own water control plan.

Looking at their backs, Zhu Yousong couldn't help but think of his grandfather and his own group of children. Especially the little girl who robbed Ying'er, I don't know what happened.

After all, they have been gone for a while, and according to Zhu Yousong's calculations, they should have arrived in Europe at this time, if the journey goes well.

Little did he know that the three priests had caused a sensation on the European continent by bringing three ships of young believers from the East and traveling around the world to tell the people about the eastward missions.

Zhu Yousong loves face, these children are covered in silk and satin, and they all look like little nobles. What's even more amazing is that these villains are all fluent in the languages of several countries. Jagers, Tonpernicus, and Dili were in the limelight. The scenery has overshadowed Matteo Ricci, who has exaggerated but has never seen the real effect.

Even the Pope personally received them, and the royal families of various countries were proud to have received visitors from these mysterious and powerful countries in the East.

But these kids seem to prefer to run into some colleges.

Xu Guangqi was in it, feeling the customs of a foreign country, and realized that there was a big difference between going to the field and appreciating it from the book.

But he also noticed that the royal family here was extravagant, vain and shallow, and even more unbearable than the Ming Dynasty. The people at the bottom are also living in poverty, although they go to the occasions of the upper class, but they inevitably glimpse the civilian life of another world on the road.

Xu Guangqi is more interested in the military technology and different crops here. He carefully collected information, hoping to improve the predicament of the Ming Dynasty through these.

There is a small puppet hanging on her chest, and she is the focus of everyone wherever she goes.

This little girl, beautiful appearance, delicate face. are perfectly in line with all the fantasies of Westerners about the little princess of the East.

When Zhu Yousong was walking in the early morning sun, she was looking at the little wooden figure in her hand in the middle of the night.

This was the only gift she still kept, and it was given to her by her favorite Fu Eight Brother. Because it is very similar to herself, she named it Xiao Xiaoying.

"Xiao Xiaoying, I really miss the eighth brother, are you the same as me?"

The little wooden figure didn't speak, but he was still a cute appearance with a smiling face. "Hmph, you must be the same as me, you still don't tell me."
