Yang Gengai decided to end this Taobao trip.

I have limited time, so I can't always delay here. Thinking about it again, I recruited John Tang to enter Beijing, but I still hoped that he would do things for him, thought about it, and said: "John Tang, I summoned you to Beijing because I wanted you to make some telescopes for me and translate some Western works, are you willing?" If you wish, I can hire you as a guest secretary. Guest, it means that you came from a distant place, and you will be a guest in my Ming Dynasty, Qing, it means that you are doing things for me, how about it? Would you like to? ”

For foreigners, Yang Gai's attitude has always been to be cautious. After all, if it is not of my race, its heart will be different. It is appropriate to take precautions and make distinctions, and if you perform well in the future, it is not too late to take on heavy responsibilities.

Keqing, has never been in the official system of the Ming Dynasty, this thing, to say that it is an official, no, to say no, it is also, with a Qing word. Doing things for the emperor, this thing can only be regarded as the emperor's private offering. It can be regarded as the "invention" of Yang reform, specifically to satisfy these missionaries.

Tang Ruowang was not disappointed, this gift, the effect is still some, and it is not a complete failure, although he only got the title of a guest secretary, Tang Ruowang, who is proficient in the Ming Dynasty, naturally knows what this guest secretary is, but it is also better than nothing. At least, it is one foot into the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been valued by the emperor, a good start, as for the use of the emperor's power to promote religion, this matter has to be done slowly.

"Minister, John Wang, thank His Majesty the Emperor for the reward." John Tang happily accepted the emperor's "invitation" and soon became a minister. This Chinese expert is very good at beating snakes with sticks. In John Tang's view, it is a very honorable thing to accept the emperor's invitation to do things, this kind of thing is very common in the West, and they are proud to be invited by the kings and do things for the kings, and they can be crowned with the title of emperor, which is much stronger than the invitation of those kings in the West.

John Tang quickly calculated the gains and losses.

"Hehe, then, I should call you Tang Qing?" Yang Reform happily gave Tang Ruowang a new name "Tang Qing", and I also had "Tang Thick", laughing in my heart.

“…… Thank you, Your Majesty. John Tang didn't know why. Although he is a China expert, he also underestimated the emperor's spoof psychology.

"Since Tang Qing has accepted this position, he is my courtier, I now need to build a batch of astronomical telescopes, ordinary telescopes, Tang Qing can first train a group of craftsmen who know how to make this glass, I will find a way to make this glass." Since you are my guest secretary, then I am not welcome, Yang Reform directly ordered Tang Ruowang. This glass is almost out by itself, and the craftsman also needs early training, and the telescope is close at hand.

"Obey." In Tang Ruowang's view, this principle and technology are not difficult at all, in his own book, it has been written very clearly, training craftsmen, there is nothing, the key is that there is no glass in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Ruowang is not worried about what will be wrong after the Ming Dynasty makes various telescopes. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor, a traverser, had just come over and began to make glass. If I knew, I am afraid it would not be so refreshing.

……

John Tong left, with the good wish to open the door of the advent of Christ, but this door of the advent of Christ is obviously not so easy to open, John Tong and his church, with all their might, only opened the door of the east, a small crack. Christ is coming, obviously, not through the crack in the door.

……

Sending away Tang Ruowang, Yang Gai breathed a sigh of relief, summoned Tang Ruowang today, gained a lot, and also understood some situations in the East and the West, for example, from the West to the East, it takes one year and three months, and it takes more than two and a half years to go back and forth.

The glass manufacturing industry in the West has been very mature, widely used, has begun to manufacture all kinds of telescopes, manufacturing astronomical telescopes, with astronomical telescopes, human vision, greatly broadened, not limited to themselves, which is of great significance for the progress of science and technology, the development of civilization, the gap between the East and the West, will continue to expand. Now that you know the situation, it's not too late to catch up.

The machinery manufacturing industry in the West is also very prosperous, and commodities have begun to be sold to the world, such as clocks and watches, which should be copied and then anti-dumped.

Western cannons, Franc machine in the Ming Dynasty, very famous, the Ming Dynasty has begun to buy Franc machine cannons, and imitation, and used in actual combat. The understanding of the East and the West is in all the "Franc Machine". For this, Yang Reform was very helpless and contemptuous.

……

Wang Chengen looked at the emperor sometimes frowning, sometimes looking far away, sometimes with a hint of anxiety. I'm also worried, I don't know why the emperor has this expression?

After waiting for a long time, Wang Chengen still said: "Your Majesty, the brocade guard that Your Majesty is looking for has been found, and he has been waiting outside the palace for a long time, does Your Majesty want to summon you?" "Although the emperor is thinking about it, it is inconvenient to interrupt, but this matter is also explained by the emperor, and he has to do it, and he has to tell the emperor.

“…… Oh? Is it? That brocade guard was found? What's your name? Yang Gengai came back to his senses from deep thought, saw Wang Chengen talking about Jinyiwei, remembered his own affairs, and hurriedly asked the name of Jinyiwei.

"Your Majesty, the name of that Jinyi Wei is called Li Ruolian, he is His Majesty's martial artist, and now he is a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, and he is His Majesty's protégé! His family, but he is a civil and military scholar! His elder brother is also a Jinshi ...... "Wang Chengen was very happy to report to the emperor with a little exaggerated language, introducing the hundred households of Jinyi Wei that the emperor valued, why are you so happy? The emperor has a discerning eye for talent, and at a glance he fell in love with his own Enke's martial arts and his protégé, isn't this a thing to be happy about? This shows that the emperor has a vision, and another one, this is in the imperial court, whoever forms a party will naturally be, this person is also the martial artist of the emperor Enke, and he is valued by His Majesty the emperor, such a person, is not popular? The future is naturally worry-free. Rejoice, of course.

Li Ruolian? The warrior of his own Enko? Yang Reform doesn't have the slightest impression of this person, doesn't that mean that he is a nobody? Do you want to reuse it? Think about it again, no, this person is the martial artist of his Enke, and he is the relationship between the master and the protégé, and he can be admitted to the martial arts master, he must have some ability, and he has some fate with himself, this person still has the ability to reuse! As for whether he is famous or not, it doesn't matter, with the guidance of his own traverser, it is not difficult to leave a little reputation in this history. Uh, go back at night and use Baidu to check the details of this person, and Yang Reform finally decided.

"This, it's really a good thing, it's fate! Summoned now. Yang Gai immediately decided to summon him.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

"Weichen Li Ruolian, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Li Ruolian is quite young, in her twenties and thirties, wearing a flying fish suit, quite energetic.

Sure enough, it was the person who gave the order for himself that day, and said, "You are Li Ruolian?" Not bad. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is Li Ruolian." Li Ruolian is so excited, this year is really his good year, not only became Emperor Enke's martial artist, but also got an official of a hundred households in brocade clothes, and most importantly, he won the emperor's appreciation, and specially summoned himself, this, this year's luck is so good, I can't stop it! Looking back at his family's ancestral grave, is there green smoke.

"I heard, you're a martial artist of Enke this year?" Yang Gengai really has no impression of this martial artist at all.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is Your Majesty's Wujin Shi of Enke this year, and he is His Majesty's protégé." Li Ruolian was very happy, Zhongjinshi, an official, a protégé of the Son of Heaven, valued by His Majesty, this ......

Yang Gai felt that this person and himself, it seems, are really related, otherwise, why do you value him? Who would have thought that the person who he felt was a little pleasing to the eye was actually his "protégé", his Enke Wujin this year?

"You have a relationship with me......" Yang Gai said.

"I see that you are very energetic, and I am ready to give you one thing, I don't know if you can do it." Yang Reform didn't plan to talk nonsense, and was ready to directly hand over the "work" of collecting money from Yinzi to him.

Li Ruolian is so grateful, what a great honor and trust it is to be personally explained by His Majesty the Emperor! "Chin Cha"? His heart was beating wildly, and he just wanted to show his heart to the emperor and let the emperor see his loyalty: "Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely do a good job for the emperor." ”

"Well, it's good that you have that kind of awareness. This matter of mine is related to Yinzi money, have you heard of Yinzi money? "Yang Reform for a small role like a hundred households in Jinyiwei, of course, there is no nonsense, just hand it over to the order, if it can be completed, it will be reused, if it can't be completed, is there still a shortage of 100 households in Jinyiwei?

Printing money? Li Ruolian is stupid, of course she knows what is called Yinzi money, which is usury. I was extremely uneasy, could it be that someone owed the emperor usury? The emperor is ready to send himself to ask for debts? Li Ruolian felt that the sky was about to collapse. The emperor also lent usury, and when he said this, others would scold him for being a madman. What's even crazier is that there are still people who dare to owe the emperor usury and not pay it back, thinking that their heads are too good? Li Ruolian was completely petrified.

Seeing that Li Ruolian was stupid for a long time and didn't react, Yang Reform said: "What, don't you want to?" ”

Li Ruolian suddenly came to her senses, was drenched in cold sweat, and said in a panic: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen understands, Weichen is willing, willing." Li Ruolian suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly agreed. Although this collection of Yinzi money is dishonorable, and the person who owes the emperor usury is very good, however, it has nothing to do with his current self, he still agrees to come down first, and then talk about it, as for the matter after the future, he will talk about it later, otherwise, this monarch is inappropriate, it is a big crime, knowing that the emperor put the money in the seal, and does not give him a job, I am afraid, I have no good fruit to eat, except to accept, is there any other way?

"Well, it's good that you understand, this matter is not for you to put the money on your own, the person who put the money on the money, there is a special person, one of them is called Li Weiren, you may know, the eunuchs of the key vault, they are responsible for relieving, you are responsible for collecting the accounts, of course, if someone does not pay the debt, you are also responsible for the safety of the silver, don't let people run away from the silver, and be responsible for taking care of the people who put the money, don't let them run away, this account management, after a while, I will send someone to be responsible, now, you are responsible for the temporary replacement for a period of time, Do you understand? ”

Yang Gai said a lot, and arranged the money properly, Li Weiren's gang was responsible for the release, and Li Ruolian was responsible for the safety of the silver.

Li Ruolian listened to the emperor's eloquent conversation like listening to a book from heaven. I couldn't help but pinch my thigh with my hand, it hurt, I was sure it wasn't a dream. Is this emperor crazy? Who is this Li Weiren, Li Ruolian, who has been a guard in the palace, naturally knows the names of several big eunuchs in the palace, Li Ruolian still knows, sending eunuchs to put Yinzi money, such a crazy thing is beyond Li Ruolian's imagination, and he has to send himself, a brocade guard, to collect the accounts, thinking of this, he feels even more crazy, who in the world dares not to pay back the emperor's money? The "work" of collecting accounts by himself can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.

Although Li Ruolian was stupid and stupid, Yang Reform still said alone: "After you go back, pick a few reliable people to do these things with you, remember, this matter should be kept secret, it has nothing to do with me, I won't admit it, it's just that those few minions went out to put the money in the seal without permission, and you are only responsible for collecting accounts for them, understand?" Don't involve me, I won't admit this kind of thing, of course, if someone dares not to pay back the money, and you have no way, or use the power to pressure you, you can tell me that I will give you the decision, and also, don't let those people who put the accounts run away, manage my money well, and after a while, if you do it well, someone will take over you, and you will not be asked to collect accounts for a lifetime. Yang Reform said a lot, and it was a wish, a hint, and an arrangement. Arrange this matter well, as long as Li Ruolian goes to run an errand with peace of mind.

Li Ruolian listened to the book of heaven for a long time, and finally understood his responsibilities. It was the emperor who gave usury and sent himself to collect the debts. If you want to say that if you make a holy decree or something about this, you will be a veritable "Qincha", but unfortunately, the emperor will never be able to make such a holy decree. secretly thought about it, and found that there was no problem at all when he took over this errand, thinking that the official in the court would not do some business and not collect some rent? Is it really all living on that little money?

Others lend usury, they will send bastards to ask for accounts and collect money, and some people with backgrounds will also use the power of the government to collect accounts, such as their Jinyi guards, many of them do this kind of thing to scare people by wearing official skins.

The emperor sent his own pro-army brocade guards to collect the accounts, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything, as long as it is done secretly and not admitted in name, who dares to say anything? Everyone is doing it, this is an unspoken rule, of course you can do it yourself, as long as you don't say that it is the emperor's business. In this way, with the emperor as the backstage, who would dare not pay back? Who dares to use power to oppress themselves? This is much more powerful than any ordinary "Qincha". You can often approach the emperor, if you do it well, you will definitely be promoted in the future, Li Ruolian already likes this matter quite a lot. Looking forward to the embarrassment of those guys who use their power to oppress themselves and don't pay back the money to be rectified by the emperor.

"Wechen obeys." Li Ruolian can be said to accept this appointment happily, a cronie, a confidant, and an absolute confidant of the emperor in the future! If this matter is done for the emperor, are you afraid that there will be no future?

"Since you understand, let's do it, big companion, and give Li Ruolian a silver ticket of 600,000 taels of silver,...... Li Ruolian, after you go back, divide the 600,000 taels into six parts, give each of the six moneylenders 100,000 taels, let them go out to lend money, and the money is not more than their hands, remember to go back and find some reliable people to do this with you, pay attention to safety. ”

600,000 taels ...... Li Ruolian was stunned, she grew so big, although she also had no worries about food and clothing, but she had never seen such a large sum of money. Even if it's a silver ticket, I'm afraid it will have to be a big burden to fit this. Li Ruolian was completely petrified.

As for the safety issue, in fact, don't worry at all, as long as it is not exposed, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to grab the things that wear flying fish suits and brocade clothes and guard hundreds of households? Tired of living?

Li Ruolian carried a big burden and left with a full 600,000 taels of silver tickets. Looking at the way he walked, it was a little weird, a little too mechanical, and he obviously hadn't recovered from the shock.

Yang Gengai watched Li Ruolian disappear outside the door, and thought in his heart, his 600,000 taels of silver, at the earliest, should be able to calculate interest from tomorrow, hahaha! Good business, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat, I, the biggest giant of the Ming Dynasty, participate in this market, eat it all!

Well, go someone else's way and leave someone else with no way out.

[By the way, in the late Ming Dynasty, John Tang and their missionaries in Yanjing can be said to be quite successful, there are not a few dignitaries and dignitaries who have joined the church, and even many eunuchs in the palace have joined the church, which can be said to have achieved great success, and it is even rumored that the queen of Chongzhen even wrote a letter to the West for help at the last moment, from here, it can be seen that these missionaries led by John Tang started from the top, gradually achieved trust and progress, and then expanded to the lower level The strategy is very successful, It's just that the Ming Dynasty suddenly perished like that. If it weren't for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be long before the door of Christ's advent would really be opened. 】
