As Yu Guozhen said, the fall of the Jingshi means that the entire Ming Dynasty has fallen into a masterless situation in a short period of time, and the local officials are panicked, not knowing whether to continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty or return to the new dynasty, and all kinds of characters also took the opportunity to jump out, some people pulled dozens of people, they dared to call themselves generals, and some people looked for a bull's nose as a military advisor, and they could proclaim themselves kings.

This kind of opportunity, how could Zhang Xianzhong miss it, he jumped out of the mountains and forests again, but he learned well this time, did not go south, and never entangled with Zuo Liangyu and other Ming generals, but went straight into Sichuan, and entered northern Sichuan when the generals of Sichuan were at a loss.

However, at this time, he was attacked by Qin Liangyu.

Although the old lady Qin Liangyu is already a septuagenarian, and the world-famous white pole soldiers have also been lost, the tiger still exists, almost forcing Zhang Xianzhong to a dead end, or because of the restraint of the civilian officials, Qin Liangyu failed to do the trick, but only blocked Zhang Xianzhong in Tongchuan.

A chaotic situation in the world has been formed.

The red lady heard this, and couldn't help it, she was agile, flashed a few tiger guards in front of her, and pounced directly on Yu Guozhen, but when Yu Guozhen was still a few feet away, a huge figure suddenly blocked her path, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was stuck by the neck and lifted her whole person.

Qi Niu looked at her indifferently, expressionless.

The red lady was out of breath, but her eyes were full of fear, she recognized Qi Niu, but she didn't know why her flexible skills were useless in front of this big man!

"Let her go." Yu Guozhen said.

The red lady fell down. Although she was able to hold herself on, she couldn't help coughing violently. Yu Guozhen turned around and left, and after walking less than ten steps, the red lady behind her finally relieved her breath, and she said sharply: "Yu Guozhen, you clearly have the ability to save the people of the world, but you only guard your own one-third of an acre, and the people of the world are in trouble." You are the most sinful! ”

"There has never been a Savior in this world." Yu Guozhen looked back at the red lady: "I pointed out the way, the people of the world are willing to trust me, I will definitely live up to their trust, but if they don't believe me, they have to follow Li Chuang to find a way to die, do I have to risk my life to wake him up?" ”

He and the red lady both understand what they say about "the people of the world". In fact, it's just one person, Li Yan.

Yu Guozhen does not think that Li Yan can represent the people of the world. But he at least represents a part of the people. They don't believe in the road drawn by Yu Guozhen, and they are unwilling to open up for this road, in this case, Yu Guozhen can persuade and even force the people to follow him within the scope of his ability, but can Yu Guozhen's strength at this time extend to every corner of the entire China?

Apparently not.

Therefore, for the Chinese people. It was never a big savior who could save them. It's themselves, and they don't have a kind of consciousness of their own. After the so-called savior made its debut, it was a resurgence of the old ways, and even intensified. Only when the people themselves have enlightenment and know that only their own hands and feet and hard work and wisdom can they truly have a bright future, which is the way out for the Chinese people.

"Red lady, you want to save Li Yan, now rush to tell him, don't follow Li Chuang when the disaster is in trouble, retreat to Zhigu by yourself, if he can hold Tianjin Wei, then he can also save a life, otherwise ......"

This time, Yu Guozhen really ended the exchange with the red lady.

He boarded the Falcon and sailed south to Keelung, while Chongzhen on Tamna Island finally took the first step cautiously to leave his residence.

Since moving to his residence, Chongzhen has always stubbornly believed that there must be a large number of soldiers and spies guarding outside, monitoring his behavior and actions, so he can't sleep at night, for fear that someone will suddenly break into it and take him away suddenly.

But for more than ten days in a row, there were no problems, and even Yu Guozhen came to see him once when he left, asking him if he needed to bring anything from the land, which made Chongzhen's fear gradually put away.

Instead, curiosity.

The place where he lives is not in the middle of Yi Gang, but under a hill in the southwest of Yi Gang, these mornings, although he has nothing to do, he still retains the habit of getting up early, and when he wakes up early in the morning, he quietly climbs up the hill alone.

First he looked west—it was said that the Ming was in that direction—but gradually, he also began to look northeast, looking at the city where he had settled. According to Yu Guozhen, he will have to live here for a long time.

He saw the wide cement road, the fast-growing trees planted on both sides of the road that were nearly ten meters high, the gray walls and red tiles hidden in the green shade in the distance, and some buildings even pasted with square-shaped porcelain tiles.

Although these buildings are built of reinforced concrete, they generally retain the style of Chinese architecture: not to mention the eaves and arches, the various Rui beasts coiled on the top of the building, and the various sesame grasses on the corners such as jade auspicious cloud patterns, look very beautiful. If people who don't know see it, I'm afraid they will think that this is the legendary Penglai Wonderland.

During this time, he restrained the concubines and children around him very tightly and did not allow them to leave, but the eunuchs and palace maids who came with him had to go out to buy some things. Therefore, judging from the occasional whispers of the eunuchs and palace maids in his ears, they had a very good impression of the city, and even surpassed the capital.

Outside, there are a wide variety of goods, snacks, beautiful shops, and a playground that children don't want to leave.

"Yu Guozhen is Chongzhen's ninth year to force Xianguo to hand over Tamluo Island, and it has only been six years now...... Ah, in almost seven years, he was able to build this overseas island into such a state, and he thought that he had invested a lot of money...... If he had used the money to support my ......"

This thought just rose, and Chongzhen felt a wave of resentment in his heart.

At this moment, Wang Chengen, who was following him, said in a low voice: "Emperor, we don't have much money here." ”

"Huh?"

"We've added a lot of things these days. In addition, in terms of daily expenses, the emperor, the lady and the little masters also have to buy clothes, and the palace maids and eunuchs change their clothes...... Although the governor of the shogun gave the villain a hundred silver dollars when he left, it was now almost spent. ”

"Then what should I do, did I really go to write some memoirs for Nanhaibo?"

"The slave has already taken someone to enclose a small plot of land in the back, ready to grow her own vegetables. If we raise some more chickens and ducks, we can save money on vegetables on weekdays. But this is only a small one, and the palace maids and eunuchs always have to make some common rules...... The brocade box that Mr. Zhang presented to the emperor was the deposit receipt in Zhang's bank, and the slave and maid read it, and with this deposit receipt, they could go to the bank and withdraw a thousand silver dollars, according to our current expenses. A thousand silver dollars is enough for us for a year. ”

"Is a thousand silver dollars a thousand taels of silver?"

"No, I heard that it was the money issued by Nanhai Bo under his rule. Just like the Tongbao issued by our Ming Dynasty. It's just that our Tongbao is mainly copper, and his silver dollar contains silver, although it is not full of silver, but the people are happy to use it. ”

"Nanhai Bo's financial management ability is indeed unparalleled in the world, that is, Zhang Taiyue's reincarnation, I am afraid that it is not comparable to him...... Alas. What do you mean. Are you going to take out the thousand silver dollars and spend them? ”

"Yes, the slave maid thought. If Your Majesty is interested, you can also go out with the slaves and maids. ”

Wang Chengen said very secretly. But Chongzhen knew what he meant, going out together is not just as simple as withdrawing money, see more and listen more, maybe there will be an opportunity, after all, most of the people here are still the people of the Ming Dynasty, and Chongzhen's identity as the son of the Great Tomorrow is still very influential.

"It's up to you, and you go and prepare...... That's it, you can take a few eunuchs and palace maids, plus me, the crown prince, and Kunxing and a few princes and princesses. ”

Chongzhen originally wanted Wang Chengen to prepare a guard of honor, but then it suddenly occurred to him that after they arrived in Yicheng, there was a shortage of living materials. And Chongzhen guessed that Yu Guozhen didn't want to see him reveal his identity in Yicheng with great fanfare, so he still had a "private interview with Weifu".

Taking the crown prince and Kun Xing and other princes and princesses can be regarded as confusing the possible monitors, making them think that they really accepted Yu Guozhen's arrangement and just went out to "play".

There were more than ten of them in their group, and their own eunuchs led the way, and they walked about a mile along the cement road before they officially entered the city. Yi Cheng is not too big, because the whole Tamna Island is not abundant, mainly wool, pig bristles, cowhides and livestock meat, in addition to war horses, some honey and other miscellaneous goods, so it is most important to serve as a transit point for entrepot trade and a supply station for ships. Therefore, the total number of real residents in Yicheng is less than 60,000, and most of them are still serving the people who are preparing to move to the rest of Xinxiang.

But even so, the commercial prosperity of Yicheng also dizzy the royal family who had been trapped in the palace for a long time. With erasers, all kinds of balloons can be made, and those balloons hanging on bamboo poles, like lanterns, have become the signs of shops, which attract the attention of the princes and princesses. And there are shops that also sell these gadgets, Wang Chengen specially looked for one to ask the price, and learned that the price of this balloon was not expensive, so he bought one for each of the princes and princesses, and they all cheered.

Seeing his children so happy, Chongzhen's mood couldn't help but feel better.

It is said that the bank is in the center of the city, and they walked along the main street, looking at the various signs hanging on the trees on both sides of the road, some recruiting laborers, some peddling handmade products, and the slogans signed underneath "Decree of the Governor of Tamna", which are nothing more than "Seek innovation, change, and progress", "Civility, politeness and hygiene". Chongzhen couldn't help but nod secretly, this is about Yu Guozhen's education of the people, he has done such a meticulous way of education, no wonder although the city is lively, the people are orderly.

At this moment, he heard someone shouting: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, "Xinxiang Express", the latest issue, the December 12th edition of the 15th year of Chongzhen, was only published nine days ago, the latest content ...... "Minsheng Express" was forcibly suspended, and the small court of Jinling established King Fu as the new Ming Emperor......"

"What!" Chongzhen was furious. (To be continued)
