After listening to Ye Chengzhang and Shi Xueguang's statements, Zheng Sanjun's face became extremely ugly, he never expected that his opponent's methods would be so cruel and spicy, not only did he give himself a hard blow, but also threw the six "pirate agents" who had been interrogated by Dongchang and came up with a confession to give him a headache.

It is very obvious that the opponent is staring at the side at this moment, and as long as one is not careful, it is likely to cause another uproar.

After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons of the pros and cons, Zheng Sanjun realized that the opponent was no longer something he could deal with, and the next struggle would be more tragic and cruel.

Even if he tried his best not to gather all the Donglin Party crowds in Jinling City to make trouble, he would not be able to get the slightest advantage in front of a strong opponent who held military power, and this opponent was also good at mobilizing public opinion, and he was also good at creating public opinion, and if he didn't get it, he was very likely to be retaliated by a cunning opponent more ferociously.

Zheng Sanjun wandered back and forth in the large office room for more than a dozen times, and finally had to give instructions to stop the action and wait patiently:

"We can't make trouble for that wild Taoist priest of Ziyang Temple and the nobles behind him before the arrival of the holy decree, so it's better to stop for the time being!"

"You go back first, put the six people of the Wang family in prison temporarily, and take care of them, but don't rush to close the case, how long can it be delayed, the old man will send a letter to the Wang family in Yangzhou and the old man Wang of Taicang, and then report the current situation to the capital, and then stop and wait and see what happens."

"The old man thinks that the gate valves of the major families are more anxious than us, and now in this situation, only they can take action!"

In the next few days, Zhu Daolin taught his disciples in the martial arts hall every morning and morning, inspected the major workshops in the afternoon, and discussed the development plan of Ziyang Temple with his master and uncles in the evening. It's to read and write in your back study.

But Zhu Daolin did not relax his vigilance for a moment, thanks to the active cooperation and efficient work of the Dongchang secret agents, he could see the news of several Donglin party leaders in Jinling City every day, understand the trend of public opinion, and realized that the Donglin party members in the city finally died down after frequently hitting the wall, and he immediately turned his attention to the Wang family in Yangzhou.

In fact. The Wang family, which relied on five generations of smuggling salt and evading taxes to become a century-old family, has long been included in Zhu Daolin's field of vision, and the 500 tons of sea salt that Zhu Daolin specially brought back from modern times this time are specially prepared to deal with the possible price hike of salt by salt merchants in the southeast.

If the insatiable southeast salt merchants dared to make a group attack, Zhu Daolin would put aside all his worries, change his tactics, and throw out 500 tons of snow-white sea salt at a low price in a different way, and if it was not enough, he would go back and transfer thousands of tons, so as to completely defeat the arrogance of the southeast salt merchants.

In a few days, the decree will be in hand. It doesn't matter how the opponent jumps up and down, it's a big deal to explain a little when he presents his gratitude to Emperor Chongzhen, and then offers some silver, artillery or hundreds of tons of refined salt, which can make the Donglin party people all over the government and the opposition stare dryly.

As for the 1,000 tons of copper currently accumulated in the warehouses of the printing workshop, Zhu Daolin did not want to give it to the incompetent Chongzhen Emperor, and no amount of copper could be used to fill the bottomless pit of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Daolin had already decided that after buying the artillery from the Francophone merchants, he would select dozens of high-quality long-barreled copper cannons to be installed on the warship. The rest of the cast iron runs and the Franco machine sub-mother cannon, one piece is not left. All of them were sent to Emperor Chongzhen in the name of Wu Gonggong's Tongyuan Bureau and Nanjing Firearms Factory.

If Emperor Chongzhen was cheeky enough to stretch out his hand to ask for money, Zhu Daolin would ask the sailors to send the carriages, steel knives, large and small glass mirrors, rubber-soled leather shoes, soap and other commodities produced by major workshops to Tianjin Port in phases and batches. Find an excuse for the expansion of the sailor and lay a solid foundation.

The night was already dark, Xiaoying and Xu Fu came to the back study with lanterns, and saw that Zhu Daolin was not looking at calligraphy and painting in the study, but squatting in front of the beautiful wooden house at the leeward end of the porch. Talk to Mulan, a police dog, and her six adorable children.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoying and the others looked at each other and smiled, and lightly came to Zhu Daolin's side and squatted down, curiously looking at Mulan, who was breastfeeding her six children.

"Husband, can you understand what Mulan is saying?" Ruyan asked curiously.

Zhu Daolin immediately explained: "I can understand, even its six children can feel my kindness and care...... Dog is the most loyal friend of human beings, the most humane, as long as it is really good to it, it will repay you with a hundred times loyalty, even if it is to pay for life without hesitation, this excellent nature is difficult for other animals to have, even the best Maxima does not do it well. ”

Ruyan nodded frequently, indicating that she remembered.

Speaking of Maxima, Xu Fo suddenly became interested: "Mr. Feng, who came from Ningbo this morning to deliver the letter, also mentioned horses, but the concubine was worried that the Persian horses transported from thousands of miles away would not be able to adapt to the climate here at all. ”

"I've heard a lot of people say before that it is difficult to feed Persian horses sent to Jiangnan by sea, and it is good that two out of ten horses can survive in the end, and they are very expensive, ordinary Persian horses cost more than 4,000 taels of silver each, and high-quality Persian horses cost 10,000 taels of silver to buy one."

"I wonder if there is a way for more Persian horses to survive and gradually adapt to the climate in our south of the Yangtze River?"

Zhu Daolin shook his head: "There is no good way to do this, you can only feed it carefully according to the habits and habits of Persian horses." ”

"However, the two upcoming batches of horses are not all Persian horses, the 30 horses sent by the Spaniards are called Andalusian horses, which are excellent horse breeds unique to Spain, and they have been brought to Luzon Island in the South Seas a hundred years ago, and after hundreds of years of feeding and breeding, the Andalusian horses on Luzon Island have adapted to the climate and water and soil of the East, so this batch of horses should not have any trouble."

"The only thing that worries me is that the more than 100 Indian horses brought by the Portuguese from India may have problems, Indian horses, like Persian horses, are derived from Arabian horses, and India and our Jiangnan are very different in terms of climate, water and soil, so I am worried about it."

"Aren't the dozen or so old men who are good at raising horses in Ziyangguan Manor already busy with the upcoming horses? With so many experienced old people taking good care of them, all the horses will surely survive when the time comes. The sensible girl Liu comforted Zhu Daolin in a low voice.

Zhu Daolin touched her head and stood up: "Accept your auspicious words, if you really want to survive all, I will send you the most beautiful foal." ”

"Wow! The slave family also wants one, not a big horse, just the rouge Mongolian foal in the stable. The girl's greed suddenly caused everyone to burst into laughter.
