At present, the scale of pills exported by Tuanshan Fort to Dongyang and Nanyang through the Zheng family every month is close to 100,000 taels of silver.

In particular, the Tokugawa shogunate had a lot of money for selling to Oriental Japan, and of course he knew that there were a lot of silver mines in Japan in the 17th century, so the price was also very "touching......

Fang Yizhi heard that Zhang Li handed over the current largest financial resources of Tuanshan Fort to himself, which was really a great trust. So he took two steps forward, bowed to Zhang Li, and said loudly: "My subordinates obey Lord Zhang's orders!" ”

Zhang Zhang once again told Fang Yizhi to say: "Mizhi, these things you are in charge of now are the lifeblood of Tuanshan Fort, and the silver money in your hands is hundreds of thousands!" Well, you've been following me since Nanjing...... If it were someone else, the official wouldn't be able to believe it—"

Zhang Li's words are the meaning of beating, but it also reveals the trust of the other party. Fang Yizhi suddenly felt a feeling of "death for a confidant" in his heart, and said impassionedly: "Lord Zhang, don't worry, your subordinates know that it is powerful!" Those half-finished products of self-made firearms, subordinates wondered if they should sell some out? ”

Zhang Zhang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and nodded approvingly: "This strategy is very good!" Do you look to see if there is a civil war in any country in the South Seas? Let's sell some of the past! ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhang was slightly disappointed, and said unwillingly: "It's a pity that the Wa Kingdom has been unified by the old tortoise Tokugawa Ieyasu, if it was the Warring States Period a few decades earlier, the defective products of the self-generated fire guns would definitely be sold in the Wa Kingdom!" ”

Fang Yizhi was stunned, he was not particularly familiar with the situation of these Japanese countries. After all, the Wa Kingdom was a spokesman for backwardness in the Ming Dynasty, similar to Somalia and Afghanistan in later generations...... Fang Yizhi admires the West more, the East. That's all that can be done.

After dealing with the affairs of the Tuanshan Army and foreign trade, Zhang Zhang returned to Tuanshan Fort on the second day.

……

The day of court meetings ended. Emperor Chongzhen huffed down and turned back to the harem. It's only halfway there. Chongzhen wanted to vomit a little, so he ordered the eunuch who carried the sedan chair to stop and rest for a while.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, Chongzhen couldn't spit out anything, and he didn't feel anything else, so he had to order to move on. In this way, a short road from the Zhongji Hall to the Qianqing Palace was walked repeatedly, stopping several times, which made the inner guards and the eunuchs who carried the sedan chair all feel inexplicable. They didn't dare to say it, but they were very surprised in their hearts, and some of them were even a little surprised by the expressions on their faces.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen didn't notice the expressions of the eunuchs and guards at all. Otherwise, it will definitely be "Long Yan's Fury"...... Back in the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen just got off the sedan chair and walked into the palace gate, the feeling of wanting to vomit disappeared, replaced by a splitting headache, and the sudden throbbing sound of the green tendons on his forehead was clearly audible-

Chongzhen held his forehead with difficulty, and walked to the dragon chair of the Qianqing Palace and sat down. This headache is Chongzhen's old problem, which has been tormenting him for three or four years, but it reappeared at this time, tearing every part of his body bit by bit. Pressed him to a frenzied roar from his heart:

"The more thieves kill, the more they kill...... The more you kill, the more you kill...... Kill, kill, kill, kill me...... Kill...... Tell Lu Xiangsheng to kill...... Kill all ......"

However, the more Chongzhen roared, the more painful it became, and in the end, he subconsciously raised his hand to hold his head. But his body kept shaking.

The eunuchs who served Chongzhen had long been accustomed to this kind of illness of the emperor, so they immediately handled it properly according to their experience very skillfully - while devoting people to inform the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, Bingbi, and on the other hand, he first brought a basin of water. Cleanse his face, then beat his back and massage him......

Soon after. The tense muscles of Emperor Chongzhen's whole body were slowly relieved by the eunuchs' push, and his head didn't hurt so much. It was a good while. The screaming in his heart slowed down, and became like muttering:

"I want Lu Xiangsheng to kill all the thieves...... Don't let the bandits wander to the capital...... Tell Lu Xiangsheng that I have a lot of rewards......"

As he spoke, a question subconsciously appeared in Chongzhen's mind. His lips trembled a few times before opening again, and a series of dreamy sounds rang out:

"Why haven't the thieves been killed yet? Ask Lu Xiangsheng, the previous trilateral governor Hong Chengchou has already killed hundreds of thousands, why hasn't he killed them all? How can there be more and more? Go and ask Lu Xiangsheng if he can still do it? If not, I will transfer Hong Chengchou back to Shaanxi! ”

The eunuchs looked at each other, and of course, there was no answer to the emperor's question. Everyone has long been accustomed to the emperor's self-talk, so they just bowed their heads and remained silent as if they hadn't heard it. Anyway, the emperor's question was just a subconscious whisper, and he didn't ask anyone to answer it-since the first assistant couldn't answer the question, how could the little eunuchs know?

After a while, Chongzhen's doubts began to change, and he vented his dissatisfaction like a cannon: "Why are there so many bandits and thieves? I am so diligent in government and love the people, why do so many people still want to rebel? ”

And the reaction that the eunuchs could give Chongzhen in return was, of course, a deathly silence, no matter how many times he asked over and over again, no one answered.

However, this way of coping is just an "old trick", although it is the only way to maintain "everyone's peace", so that time can be spent naturally in a peaceful atmosphere, but it does not help everything in the case and the mental state of Emperor Chongzhen.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's "one-way thinking" method has not only long been a habit, but even his only way of thinking. Once his mind reaches a dead end, he can't get out......

That's why Emperor Chongzhen couldn't sleep all night, with a pair of blank, empty, and distracted eyes, and kept repeating to himself:

"I am so diligent and love the people...... Why are so many people still being thieves? Why? ”

In this way, Emperor Chongzhen tossed and turned all night in his own words - before the "rogue" in his mouth was killed, he himself had been tortured by his own spirit to the point that he was inhuman!

After a sleepless night, when the time of the morning court was approaching, the eunuchs came to clean his face, comb his hair, and change his clothes......

The eunuchs seem to feel that it has only been such a night, and Long Live Lord seems to have aged by more than ten years!

Emperor Chongzhen's mind was not clear, his eyes were blank, his concentration was not clear, and he didn't see clearly in the mirror that he was only in his early twenties, and he had already grown a lot of gray hair.

Some old eunuchs feel that today's son is a little pitiful, and the state affairs are a hundred times worse than those of Wanli and Tianqi Dynasty, and the heart of the Son of Heaven in those two dynasties is only one-tenth of Chongzhen's...... (To be continued.) )
