Chapter 450: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet and the Wind Doesn't Stop
Ma Shijialu smiled slyly and said to Hong Chengchou: "Lord Hong, I think we can cooperate." But what did you say borrowing Guangdong is like the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, I don't know what kind of conditions Your Excellency can give now, let us see your sincerity? β
To be honest, Hong Chengchou also thinks that what he fooled Guangdong is nonsense, but he always has to fool him, maybe these Western barbarians will believe it? It's a pity that the reality ruthlessly slapped Lord Hong in the face, and in the current situation, people Westerners are very shrewd!
However, Hong Chengchou came prepared after all. He pondered for a moment, and directly threw out a bombshell: "Your Excellency the Governor just go and recruit mercenaries, and I promise you that the entire territory of Macao will be returned to your country next month!" β
"What?!" Ma Shijialu exclaimed in surprise and looked at Hong Chengchou with incredible eyes. Hong Chengchou didn't continue, with a sincere look on his face, looking at the "Governor of Macao" with a smile.
Mascolu's eyes widened, as if he wanted to see through Hong Chengchou's heart. After a stick of incense, Mascolus smiledβfor he had figured out what was behind what Hong Chengchou said.
Whether it is the transfer of guns and cannons to sell to Jin Guo, or the mercenaries that Hong Chengchou said, it will take time to complete, and it is definitely not something that can be done next month. However, Hong Chengchou dared to say that he would let Ming Guo surrender Macau next month, and it was obvious that he had already made a full calculation.
Thinking about it further, when will the officials of the Jin Kingdom be able to manage the territory of the Ming Kingdom? If it can really be managed, then there is only one explanation, there are people at the top of the Ming Kingdom who collude with Hong Chengchou!
Yes. I heard that Hong Chengchou was the head of the Ming Dynasty Cabinet and Wen Tiren, could it be-
Come to mind. Mascolus couldn't help but shudder, this Nima mess. It's really messy! Whatever, as long as it's good for his country, what does it matter if a dog bites a cat or a cat bites a dog?
Mascolu quickly made up his mind, and no matter what, he agreed to come down and see if Hung had the ability to bring Macau under his control next month. So, he spoke: "Everything is according to your Excellency. β
Hong Chengchou laughed and immediately took two steps forward. He walked up to Mascolu and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ma Shijialu's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he looked at the high-ranking official of the Jin State in front of him abruptly, and he was speechless for a long time.

"In previous years, Tuanshan Fort was full of barren mountains, and there were no people......"
"Today's Tuanshan Fort is not the same as in previous years, it is not the same......"
"Today's Tuanshan Fort is not the same as in previous years. It's not the old look anymore, it's a good Jiangnan ...... in Liaodong"
The farmers of Tuanshanbao Farm are harvesting the potatoes in this issue, and at the same time singing the tension adaptation of "Nanniwan" "Tuanshan Fort", which is a hot labor scene.
Today is the day of the potato harvest. Zhang Zhang rushed from Jinzhou City to Tuanshan Fort yesterday. This is the fourth phase of Song Yingxing's selection and breeding of potatoes, according to the latest statistics, the yield of potatoes per mu has been close to 1,000 catties.
looked at Song Yingxing's slightly old face. Zhang Zhang couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.
Whether ancient or modern, whether prosperous or last. There are always moral models like Song Yingxing who "have no self-interest, but only benefit others". Although in the dark era of the late Ming Dynasty. People like Wen Tiren and Hong Chengchou may account for the majority, but it cannot be denied that there are people like Song Yingxing.
Previously, Song Yingxing was a county magistrate with the experience of Tuanshan Fort, which was equivalent to the seventh grade, and since the industrial and agricultural industries were developed by his abbot, he obviously couldn't manage civil affairs. Originally, Zhang Zhang wanted to promote Song Yingxing, but he chose to resign......
The unity of knowledge and action, applying what he has learned in his chest to practice, and benefiting the people of the world is the highest goal of life pursued by Song Yingxing.
For such a person, Zhang Li's heart is not only admiration but also admiration......
Just when Zhang Li's heart was surging, Song Yingxing, who was accompanying him, spoke: "Lord Zhang, now the yield of potatoes in Liaodong is gratifying, and corn is warm, which is not suitable for planting in Liaodong. β
Zhang Li hurriedly pulled his thoughts back, and said with a slight bow: "I don't know much about farming, so I leave everything to Mr. Song." β
Since Song Yingxing resigned, Zhang Zhang has called him "Mr. Song", which is really a very respectful title. You must know that in the Tuanshan military system, there are only two people who Zhang Zhang said "sir" - Lu Xiangsheng in the military system and Song Yingxing in the civil system.
Lu Xiangsheng's previous official position was very large, and he was well-known, and everyone was happy and convinced. But Song Yingxing put it bluntly, he was just a person, and Zhang Zhang treated him so politely, which made people a little puzzled.
But the tension doesn't matter so much, for calling Song Yingxing "sir", it is well-deserved.
Song Yingxing's heart was hot, and he hurriedly excused himself: "You don't deserve to be called like this." β
Zhang Zhang waved his hand, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Song is talented, he deserves-"
Song Yingxing is more loyal, not good at words, seeing Zhang Li's insistence, he can only helplessly divert the topic: "Lord Zhang, farming is the most cumbersome, but it is the key to the life and death of the people, and the next step is that his subordinates are confident that the yield of potatoes per mu will exceed 1,000 catties." β
Zhang Zhang smiled and said: "Work hard, if the time is ripe in the future, I will promote the excellent potato seeds to the whole country, not limited to my Tuanshan Fort." β
As soon as these words landed, Song Yingxing suddenly stood in awe of the tension. Mastering the great weapon of food has a crucial impact on the struggle for world domination - but Lord Zhang disdains to do this......
Just when Song Yingxing's thoughts were running, Zhang Zhang suddenly spoke: "Mr. Song, you reported earlier that the Tuanshan Fort Workshop used water power to cast cannons, how is the output of howitzers now?" β
Hearing that Zhang Zhang suddenly shifted the topic to the military aspect, Song Yingxing did not dare to slack off, and responded loudly: "Lord Qiqi, it has been half a year since the howitzer passed the test. However, due to the limited process, we could only cast more than ten doors a month. There are many rivers in Liaodong, and we use water storage to drive machinery by using water power, and the speed of casting cannons has been greatly improved! At present, more than 300 howitzers have been delivered to the artillery team......"
Zhang Zhang nodded, his eyes deepened, and he said lightly: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop!" I want to develop our internal affairs well, but the enemy doesn't want us to live in peace. No matter what, if there is no pressure, how can there be motivation? β
After a pause, Zhang Zhang continued: "Mr. Song, you can't be in a hurry in farming, you have to take it step by step. However, we need to work harder on industrial development, especially the production of howitzers and rifled guns, so that the workers work overtime to make as many guns as possible. β
Song Yingxing replied respectfully: "My subordinates understand. (To be continued.) )
