Chapter 171: The Solution

This world has always been about fists, and there is room for reason only if everyone is willing to abide by the same rules, and there is violence to uphold this rule. In fact, this is a very simple logic, but it's a pity that many literati who read books and read stupidly can't figure it out at all.

The literati and nobles of the Ming Dynasty were basically a group of stupid and hopeless bastards by the end of the Ming Dynasty. These people thought that by opening the gates and not resisting, they would be able to avoid their own losses. If you look at the history books, there are many such cases.

Zheng Zhihu is not a stupid guy who reads books, he knows very well what it means to have a warship equipped with this kind of artillery. Do you still want to collect protection money? People don't take the initiative to trouble you, so you should hide and laugh.

"Shopkeeper Liu, this kind of cannon, is it for takeaways?" With a glimmer of imperceptible hope, Zheng Zhihu "shyly" asked such a question. Liu Qing opened his mouth slightly, and after a pause, he smiled and said, "It's not early, let's stay first." ”

Chen Xie, who returned to Zhangjiazhuang, immediately entered the study and ordered: "No one is allowed to approach if there is nothing to do." ”

The moment the door was closed by Yujing, Chen Xie began to whisper to his wrist, and after some exchange, Chen Xie was dead. Modern society can bring sailboats here, but you can't find a maker. This is not a question of money, and the Chinese do not have good people in this regard. Unlike some Nordic countries, there are some idle guys who make some retro sailboats.

Wu Qi offered a plan to hire European shipbuilders to come to Daming with high salaries. Build a shipyard in Dengzhou. The problem of drawings can be solved in modern society. The feasibility of this method is still very strong, and Chen Xie thought about it.

The moment the study door opened, he saw Liu Qing standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting, and Chen Xie greeted him: "How is he?" ”

Liu Qing showed a disdainful expression and said, "I arranged to stay, I guess I was scared." He's still thinking about buying guns from here. ”

The arms trade has always been profitable, but this opening cannot be opened now, at least Chen Xie's current strength is still very limited. So don't think about that for now. So he smiled and changed the topic: "The problem of the ship, let's build it yourself." You help find the right person to take care of this. There is a place on the other side of the strange mountain. Don't be afraid to spend money. A good craftsman's value for creating a zào is much higher than the wages we give him. ”

"The owner is wise, Liu Qing remembers." I don't know when, Liu Qing was in front of Chen Xie. More and more respectful. This change. Chen Xie himself didn't notice it. By the time you find yourself on top, it's impossible to change. In this era, many things are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Change doesn't happen overnight. It even takes several generations to be effective.

"Prepare the car, I'm going to the city." With an order, Chen Xie's spare carriage left the warehouse, such a "luxury version" of the carriage, Chen Xie got several, and there must always be a spare one in the warehouse.

When Master Chen arrived at the courtyard where the concubine Yingniang was in the city, the concubine who was here to watch the house hurriedly welcomed in. Yingniang was busy working in Chunxiang Building, so she hurriedly asked people to shout. Ying Niang moved quickly when she heard the news, and the sedan chair man was urged to run and fly. Chen Xie was in the backyard, enjoying the service of green jade, drinking iced sour plum soup while someone played a fan.

Yingniang came in and saw the two of them enjoying the shade under the tree, dressed neatly, and felt comfortable. stepped forward and said, "Master, you are in such a hurry, but there is something important?" ”

When Chen Xie saw her coming, he raised his hand and beckoned, "Sit next to me, I have something to say to you." Yingniang said: "I'm in a hurry, my body is full of sweat, I'll wipe it, and the master will rest first." ”

The backyard of the Ming Dynasty is a man's paradise. This courtyard is big enough, how can there be five or six acres of land in the backyard. The wall was built high, and many trees were planted. It was the height of summer, and the cool breeze was blowing in the shade of the trees, which was very cool. Chen Xie sat on the bamboo bed, a little distracted in his mind, and Yingniang didn't notice it when she came back.

When a stunned person came back to his taste and saw the woman sitting opposite him change into a tulle and sit and smile at herself, she patted her side embarrassedly and said, "You come and sit together and drink some ice drinks to quench your thirst and cool off." ”

"There is a few news, do you want to hear it?" Ying Niang came over as she said, sat down next to Chen Xie, and when she walked, her chest was half open, revealing the whiteness inside. Chen Xie saw the fire, stretched out his hand to probe, and said, "You said yes." ”

"The thief king Jiayin fell into the county seat of Fugu, and the three provinces of Shaanxi, Ning, and Jin were eroded. Wen Tiren, Wu Zongda Pavilion. These are all news in the Di newspaper, according to the news of Jinyiwei, Yuan Chonghuan will definitely die. ……。 ”

The matter of the Shaanxi people's uprising cannot fail to mention a figure named Yang He. In February of the second year of Chongzhen, Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, died. There is a very funny phenomenon in the question of the successor, no one wants to be the governor. You read that right, the trilateral governor at this time is a hot potato. At this time, a man named Yang He came out and said, "Since the big army has been fighting, the increase in dispatch is still frequent, the public and private relations are exhausted, and the vitality of the small people is hurt." He also said: "For example, at the beginning of the heavy army, the hundred pulses are not adjusted, the wind and evil are easy to enter, and the Tao is being cultivated." These words led to a result, and he went to be the governor of the three sides, when he was the right attendant of the military department.

History has proved that Yang He, a nerd, appeases the policy of being a source of water and a tree without roots. In the end, he also ruined his political future because of his wrong policies. It should be said that Chongzhen is very unkind on Yang He's issue, although this person's ability to do things is not good, he always goes to do things. For this kind of person, it is really unkind to be accused of exile. Compared with those civil officials who can only move their mouths in the court and are unwilling to do anything, Yang He is actually much stronger.

Of course, Yang He is okay now, he will not be arrested and exiled until July of the fourth year, when Shen Yiyuan rebelled.

As she spoke, Yingniang's face flushed, and her watery eyes were aimed at the man who was squinting at the sky and didn't know what to think. What is hateful is that the hands are not old, and the hearts of those who are scratching their arms are itching, and they can't help but hum a few times like a cat crying on a spring night.

Chen Xie finally opened his eyes with a smile, looking at Yingniang who was twisting on her side, she didn't know how her face was like a peach blossom, and she laughed in her mouth: "You will seize the opportunity, and you will not let go of this little effort." Yingniang leaned down, sent the bulge to her face, and whispered: "Don't hurry up, who knows which vixen is cheaper." ”

"If you talk about others, you're a vixen......."

Xilaojing received a post from Cui Xin sent by Chen Xie, and he was very curious to find a Sun Yuanhua to help him explain. He knew a little Chinese, but only for ordinary conversation. Sun Yuanhua was taking a lunch break in the yali, took the post and said, "Chen Sihua wants to invite you Portuguese to dinner, the place is in Taibai Building, and let you gather everyone to go." ”

Silao Jing wondered, "How could he think of inviting me to dinner?" He was not a Christian. ”

Sun Yuanhua thought for a while and said, "It should be a business matter, by the way, where is the Americas he said?" ”

Silao tilted his head and pondered for a while before he said, "This should refer to North America, where there are many places on that continent that have not yet been developed. The climatic conditions were so harsh that neither the Spaniards nor the Portuguese had any intention of exploiting them. It was strange that the British and French seemed to regard it as a penal colony, and had never heard of it. ”

Sun Yuanhua laughed and said, "What's so strange about this? People have said that this world is very big. Don't talk about that, just go to the feast and don't have anything to worry about. This Chen Sihua, I can see it, is a guy who only recognizes silver in his bones. When he looks for you, it must have something to do with business. ”

On the issue of maritime trade, Sun Yuanhua is very open-minded. The Ming Dynasty's sea ban has long existed in name only, and the court clamored not to let the sea ban go, not because of how much those scholars and doctors value the ancestral system, but because their families and interest partners do sea trade, and the local people are all turning a blind eye. In this case, why do you want to open the sea ban and let others get a piece of the pie? Let's take Dengzhou as an example, every day there are sea ships docked at the dock, didn't the sailor also not see it? Every month, Sun Yuanhua didn't do anything, and someone gave him more than 2,000 taels of silver. The older maritime merchants will give him a filial piety. Speaking of which, this has to be thanks to the American goods of the United Firm, otherwise where would he get these purchases in a month?

Sun Yuanhua, a technocrat, is still a believer in Christianity, which is really rare in the Ming Dynasty. From this side, it is not difficult to see that the Ming Dynasty during this period was relatively tolerant of foreign things.

Xilao took more than a dozen compatriots to the banquet, Chen Xie stood at the door of the restaurant to greet him, the reason why he was invited in the restaurant instead of Chunxianglou was very simple, the girls looked down on foreign devils and felt that he was very dirty. At this time, the Ming people are really proud of a mess. Don't say it, it's a historical fact. Even in the Mirror Trench, the Portuguese are men with their tails between their legs. Violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it was normal for the yamen's servants to arrest people in the past.

Xilaojing and others came to Daming to make money. If you are looking for a woman, you can only find some low-class roadside stalls. A high-end place like Chunxiang Lou will not receive them, and the price will drop! Therefore, Chen Xie had no choice but to comply with public opinion.

After a brief greeting, Chen Xie led them upstairs and sat down in a private room. The entire Taibai Building, Chen Xie has been contracted today, this is Chen Tuhao's style, and the entire restaurant must be contracted for a treat. Therefore, these restaurants and buildings in Dengzhou City are the most welcome guests of this kind of loser.

It is estimated that a group of foreign devils have never eaten such a big banquet, and Chen Xie just said "please" and they began to eat violently. Chen Xie smiled and didn't move his chopsticks, watching them eat all over the table in a mess, and he didn't mean to talk.

Until Xilao Jing was almost finished, he took the initiative to ask Chen Xie: "General Chen, there is always a reason for the treat, right?" (To be continued......)
