In front of him was a Confucian of medium stature, in his forties, which was the golden age of this era. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Speaking of which, except for a few businessmen, this is the first person who has appeared in the mansion of Ning Daguan in a serious manner in the past few days, but he came to deliver invitations.

"General Zheng invited Lord Ning to talk in the Musk Building tonight, please be sure to enjoy the light!"

Ning Zhiyuan guessed that he should have mixed up in Quanzhou, so those people specially hung themselves for so long, and then thought that it was the so-called Zheng Daren's instructions, and the name seemed to be self-evident, which made him think of Zheng Zhilong at once.

Thinking about it, Ning Zhiyuan looked at the middle-aged Confucian with a smile, "You sent an invitation for Lord Zheng?" ”

The middle-aged Confucian nodded and spoke indifferently, without being unavoidable or groveling, looking neither humble nor arrogant.

"Then you tell the official first, then Lord Zheng...... Who is it? Ning Zhiyuan looked full of doubts when he spoke, not as if he was fake.

The middle-aged Confucian raised his head and glanced at Ning Zhiyuan with some surprise, looking at how could this kid who didn't even have a beard ask such a thing, could it be that he really didn't even know whose territory was here? But if you think about it, such a straw bag will not become such a big official, and it is still the only special prince of the Manchu Dynasty......

"It's Zheng Zhilong, General Zheng." The middle-aged Confucian was silent for a while before he spoke, and he already had some disdain for this hairy boy in his heart, originally he looked at Ning Zhiyuan's practices in the past few days without being in a hurry or impatient, and he didn't read those official documents, most of the time he just stayed in the house and didn't go out, so a person who can calm down is definitely not to be underestimated even if he is not very old, he is a character, but now it seems that this adult is also quite resentful in his heart, and the resentment is not small, and he just said these words to express his dissatisfaction......

Thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt that it was nothing, he was not afraid that you would have grievances, he was afraid that you would not have grievances, that kind of talent was difficult to handle, but this kid did not show any dissatisfaction on his face, this kind of spiritual cultivation is very good.

"Zheng Zhilong..."Ning Daguan frowned, as if recalling this name, and only after half a sound did he laugh at himself helplessly, "I really don't know who it is when I first arrive, and what important position I am in now, I hope this lower official will say..."

Xiaguan..., the corners of the middle-aged Confucian student's mouth twitched, let's not care about this title, if it weren't for the playful smile between Ning Zhiyuan's eyebrows, I'm afraid he would really doubt that this adult really didn't inquire about the situation of the two Guang, and the acting was very realistic, but now he invisibly felt that Ning Zhiyuan was taking revenge and venting.

By such small means? Hehe...

"General Zheng is the general of Fujian coastal defense..."The middle-aged Confucian straightened his waist and said, but his tone was a little more complacent.

"What are you proud of?" Ning Zhiyuan suddenly asked seriously, and there was no smile on his face.

The middle-aged Confucian was speechless, could it be said that Zheng Zhilong's status was very high, so he was complacent? , the waist is slightly bent again.

"What kind of official is Zheng Zhilong," Ning Zhiyuan asked again, "I was distracted just now, sorry I couldn't hear clearly!" As he said that, there was no embarrassment on his face.

"General Zheng is the general of Fujian coastal defense...", the middle-aged Confucian scholar restrained his emotions and said again.

"What kind of officer?" Ning Zhiyuan plucked his ears a little exaggeratedly, as if he felt that he had misheard.

The middle-aged Confucian is a little hot, this kid is just looking for someone to fault with, right? Having said that, he had to continue to answer.

"General of Fujian Coastal Defense..."

Ning Zhiyuan suddenly stopped talking, just looked at the middle-aged Confucian student, his eyes were cold, sharp like a sharp knife.

The middle-aged Confucian student was puzzled, how could he say that he would turn his face when he turned his face? But he didn't care.

"Idiot!" Ning Zhiyuan scolded, and the disdain on his face suddenly appeared, without the slightest concealment.

The middle-aged Confucian was expressionless, perhaps he didn't understand what an idiot meant.

"Where are you from and where are you?" Ning Zhiyuan frowned and asked.

"Xiaguan is a native of Shantou, Guangdong, and is currently a Tongzhi of Zhaoqing." The middle-aged man has not yet realized what and answers truthfully.

"What kind of official is that son?" Ning Zhiyuan's squinted eyes made his tone a little colder.

"Governor of Liangguang..."I don't know why, Confucius felt that he seemed to be thinking too simple before, this new lord went around in such a big circle and didn't know what he was going to do, but it shouldn't be that he was looking for trouble.

"What did you tell this official Zheng Zhilong that he was a Fujian official who went to Liangguang to do?!" The word 'Fujian' was particularly prominent in the mouth of Ning Daguan, and there was a little excitement in his tone, and the middle-aged official felt that Ning Zhiyuan seemed to be angry, but he was a little stunned at first.

This feeling is like a bag of salt in the later life, and you sell it for five yuan a pack only to find out that it is illegal after a long time, where can you reason?

Haven't you all been like this for so many years?? Although Zheng Zhilong is an official in Fujian, he has a lot of intersections with Liangguang, and when he was a pirate before, there were few coastal areas that had not been robbed by him, from this point of view, he should still have some qualifications... Right?

However, this kind of reason was amusing himself, he didn't think to say it, and at this time, he finally understood why the new governor had to ask Zheng Zhilong's official position and exaggerated appearance several times in a row, it turned out that the focus was here.

The middle-aged Confucian felt that he had also been an official in Zhaoqing for a few years, and his ideological consciousness had retreated a lot, and his ability to observe words and emotions was even more than twelve years old, why didn't he find out in time for such an obvious pit? !

It seems that Liangguang is just a place to enjoy life, not a place to be an official.

"It's just, I'm just asking you to go and meet you... Master Zheng... There is no other meaning..."When he said this, he felt unconfident, and he was ready for a new round of outbursts, but he didn't realize it himself, and his tone was invisibly a lot more humble.

"Oh-" Ning Daguan replied, then eased his expression and nodded as if relieved, "So it's just like this, let's meet when we meet, it's nothing anyway!" ”

The middle-aged Confucian was dumbfounded, and then reacted, nodded his head and walked away quickly, he couldn't figure it out, why did he stand there in a good manner, why did he go directly, just an adult with no real power, if he was as obedient as Xiong Wencan, he could still give a little thin face, but he had to admit that the momentum of this trusted governor really made him palpitate, and he was free, I don't know if he could be a puppet like the previous ones.

Ning Zhiyuan looked at the back of the middle-aged Confucian and pursed his lips disdainfully, he has not been idle these days, at least he knows what happened in Zhaoqing.

Zheng Zhilong's strength does not lie in how powerful his forces in these two Guangzhous are, but the key is that he can help many forces in these two Guangzhous to make money, not to mention anything else, at least on this sea, Zheng Zhilong is a unique figure, even Chongzhen can't do anything about him, people are not afraid of the Ming Dynasty at all, after all, Zheng Zhilong is the most powerful navy now, and his tens of thousands of soldiers are really not good, and they can still run to Taiwan and Japan, controlling all the trade on the west coast, and the power is not small.

However, Zheng Zhilong does not have the idea of developing his strength on land, which is why so many people are willing to obey him and recognize him as a boss on the surface, otherwise if you are economically strong and even your military strength is so strong, then why don't you establish yourself as the king?

There are rules everywhere, so Zheng Zhilong has only been kept in a moderate range, these two forces are simple and simple, complex and complicated, in short, there is one thing that is definitely not a force that has the final say, even if that force is the imperial court, otherwise there will be no play.

Everyone is used to it.

From the news that he has inquired about in the past few days, Ning Zhiyuan knows that Zheng Zhilong is absolutely not to be underestimated, at least in the Liangguang region, this is a well-known name, it is no exaggeration to say that it does not involve too much harm, and a Zheng Zhilong's name can go sideways in Liangguang, and in the eyes of the people here, this is a figure who has reached the sky.

Earlier, he led the team to be a thief for a few years, and then his strength grew bigger and bigger, and the ships under his command reached thousands, so that the imperial court was helpless, and then Xiong Wencan recruited him to be an official, so Zheng Zhilong changed from a pirate to a general, and after becoming a general, he had a good reputation for the people, and introduced a large number of business opportunities, so that even the people in the city who had been robbed by him before were grateful to him, and the means were not unskillful.

If the Liangguang region is only Zheng Zhilong's economic influence, then Fujian is completely the territory of the Zheng family, and tens of thousands of pirates are there.

The time is only noon, after all, it has not yet been decided whether to go to Ning Daguan tonight, although he looks polite and polite and comes from the civilized society of later generations, but it is undeniable that there are many violent factors in his blood, and he advocates strength more.

It's just that in such a city with a population of one million, the large and small forces are so intricately intricate that even he has specially investigated for a long time and can't count them, and in comparison, he only has five hundred personal soldiers and nearly two thousand forces of the world dart bureau that have arrived one after another in the past few days and the population of his own business, probably speaking, these people are not enough for them to stuff their teeth, and when it comes to the army, Zhaoqing is such an extremely important city that there are only hundreds of officers and soldiers, so there is no way to count on it, in short, these two are really chaotic enough.

One of the things about the light bulb is very successful, that is, Xu Xiaoniu finally found that this thing can be lit stably for forty days after experimenting for so long, and then... And then there was no then.

This is not like Edison's meeting, which already has a stable supply of power supply, so the light bulb has become a cross-era thing, Ning Daguan and Xu Yuya are not so great, if you really want to use it, then you can only hire people to shake the generator of the pit dad all night without sleeping, but although in his opinion, this is relatively chicken, but in such an era of low labor must be very popular.

It's just that Xu Yuya, this little girl, has been pestering Ning Daguan to talk about the battery, but he is more helpless, Ning Zhiyuan can only roll his eyes at this, he knows a bird, if he knows, he can't wait to show it, after all, he has always felt an inexplicable frustration in front of Xu Xiaoniu.

"Yuya, I really don't know what's going on..."Ning Daguan looked very helpless, still holding the soft Kou Baimen in his arms and enjoying it, it was really time for this chick to appear.

"That, it's also very practical now, don't you look at the thousands of people in those squires and landlords' families, and they can be sold for a good price..."

Ning Daguan was muttering like a resentful woman, Xu Yuya just sat on the stone chair close to Ning Daguan, not saying a word, as if she was in a daze, but her eyes always moved with Ning Zhiyuan's movements.

Kou Baimen pursed his lips thoughtfully.

It was already the height of summer, the weather was getting hot, and the clothes she was wearing had become very thin, Ning Zhiyuan's eyes swept around Xu Yuya's body, a well-proportioned figure outlined by a plain dress, and her spotless delicate facial features, he felt that this chick looked thin and didn't think it would be quite expected.

A sultry summer breeze blew, and then another aroma hit, not from Kou Baimen, it should be the smell of Xu Xiaoniu, Ning Daguan took a few breaths, and then tentatively, "Yuya, when will you plan with this son in the future?" Anyway, you don't follow every moment every day, do you? ”

Xu Xiaoniu held her chin and sparkled her gaze a little distracted.

So Ning Zhiyuan simply gave up, in fact, he knew that he just liked the feeling of talking to Xu Yuya, and he also liked the feeling of being half-ignored...

To put it bluntly, it is the same as making a mistake, if Xu Yuya nodded and promised that he would really not follow him, then he should be disappointed.

“――――”

"When will my sister come?" Kou Baimen blinked and asked suddenly, she was now used to this kind of intimate address.

"Who knows!" Ning Daguan snorted, gritted his teeth and said, "She just said that she was coming and didn't say when..."

Ning Zhiyuan has seen all the letters and white doors of the letter, so everyone who should know knows that now there is a match and no match, maybe it is out of boredom, or maybe it is out of something.

“――――”

.........

As the saying goes, people's words are terrible, just as public opinion usually refers to the meaning of the reader, and the speech of the reader mostly refers to the speech of the reader.

Therefore, the status of most of the scholars in the dynasties is very high, and they are surrounded to prevent them from talking nonsense, especially in the Ming Dynasty. Even if it's just a showman, he has the privilege of being exempt from taxes, receiving money, seeing the county official can not kneel, etc., not to mention a lifter, the status is much higher, and the detailed book must be sent to the court for reporting, under normal circumstances, there is no definite evidence will not go to prison, even if there is evidence, it will be handled as appropriate, after all, the person represents the backbone of the court, and is the future official.

Especially when the lifting person is still very famous, you can't act rashly, for example, one of the four sons of Ming Ji, to be precise, it is called a presumptuous lifter.

In Jinling, a man named Mao Xiang was arrested on the street and sent to the government office on charges of collaborating with the enemy and passing through Jin.
