Chapter 883: Ambition
Thank you, Hao Fenglou stood up and said goodbye to leave.
Empress Dowager Xu waved her hand and smiled: "You go down." ”
Hao Fenglou nodded, turned around, and the Empress Dowager Xu behind him, her eyes were like a flood of autumn water, staring at his back condescendingly.
Hao Fenglou walked a few steps, and the Empress Dowager Xu behind him suddenly stopped him: "Hao Fenglou." ”
Hao Fenglou stopped, turned around and said, "What else does Niangniang have to say?" ”
Empress Dowager Xu looked at him deeply and said: "Let the mourning family look at you again, the mourning family remembers that although Hao Fenglou was full of ghost ideas in the past, sometimes a little crazy, but he was a very enthusiastic person, and the mourning family has not seen this guy's smile for a long time." ”
Hao Fenglou hurriedly put on a smiling face, he tried to recall his former self, showing a somewhat naughty and witty smile.
This smile seemed to be fixed in the depths of Empress Dowager Xu's pupils, Empress Dowager Xu smiled, and she solemnly said to Hao Fenglou, who was smiling: "You are so self-conscious." ”
Hao Fenglou saluted and said, "Take care." ”
This should not have been mentioned at this time, but everyone already understood the deep meaning of the words.
Hao Fenglou turned around and turned his back to the Empress Dowager Xu, his smiling face gradually became cold, but the corners of his mouth that were still hooked were only frivolous as if he was smiling. He stepped out, people's expressions are changeable, but the back left for others is always the same, behind this unchanged back, Hao Fenglou in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Xu is actually different.
What is the difference, even Hao Fenglou is not very clear, countless times of dumping have made him look down on many things, and it has also made him no longer have any good thoughts about anyone or anything. As long as he comes to Jinling, he will always be vigilant. Be wary of everything, everyone.
His sneer had faded away. Finally, he came out of the hall with a blank face, and he was covered with a chill all over his body.
At this moment, it is time to leave Beijing.
Hao Fenglou still has too many things to do, and now that the imperial court has allowed trade, then next, at least in the next few years, Langshan still has a lot of things to do, what about a few years later?
Hao Fenglou couldn't help laughing at himself. A few years later, who knows, the balance of a qiē only lies in the amount of strength, and once this balance is no longer there, the tide of the world will be mighty, and those who go along with it will perish. Whether Hao Fenglou wants it or not, the final result is the same, the world is cannibalistic after all. It's like the gentry had to exploit the tenants, and the merchants had to squeeze the value of the craftsmen, and that's the principle of heaven, once you rebel against that. Violating this principle, the only result is elimination.
The Hao family is not like this, they can thrive in Langshan. Simply because they conform to the wishes of many.
Out of the palace, back to the camp. An order was given, and the soldiers were ready to pack.
Three days later. The mighty Lang Son army left the city and left the Beijing Division.
After all, Xu Jingming couldn't survive Hao Fenglou's invitation, so he still came to see him off.
In the ten-mile long pavilion, Hao Fenglou and him sat on each side, the sergeant next to him poured tea and handed water, Hao Fenglou took a sip of tea, looked at Xu Jingming, who was not very good-looking recently, smiled, and said: "Brother Xu, I will go to say goodbye, but I don't know how long it will take to meet, you and I have always been brothers, it is a sworn worship, that is fate, so my brother is here and I hope you can take care." ”
Xu Jing was obviously a little distracted, and sighed: "Yes, everyone has to take care, the world is unpredictable." ”
These days, he has had a lot of ups and downs, and he obviously has a deep understanding of this.
Hao Fenglou said again: "The Queen Mother is the stepmother of her brother, and she is also the mother-in-law, I am not in Beijing, and I have to entrust Brother Xu to take care of it." ”
Xu Jingming nodded: "This rest assured, Niangniang's golden body, I am Niangniang's nephew and a courtier, these are all things that are taken for granted." ”
"That's fine." Hao Fenglou smiled, stood up, looked at the Langshan army marching like a long snake in the distance, and said, "Let's have a period in the future, and we often write letters when we have time." ”
Xu Jingming smiled: "It is said that your letters are delivered very quickly, in fact, sometimes, I envy you." ”
"Oh?" Hao Fenglou smiled: "Why is this? ”
Xu Jingming said faintly: "I know a little bit about what happened in Langshan, although there are many people attacking me, but I am not a pedantic person, your Hao family is there to break and stand up, there is no fetters, this is like a blank piece of paper, what to paint, whether it is good or bad, at least you are in charge." But this Jinling ......" Xu Jingming shook his head and said: "Here, doing anything, there are too many things involved, Brother Hao's painting is good, in fact, my painting is not bad, but there are too many graffiti in my paintings, and there is no ink on the pen, ha...... Anyway, you're finally leaving, I'm missing a constraint after all, we all understand people, so don't be sloppy, to be honest, the days you stayed in Jingshi were really bad, terrible, but these are in the past, haha...... You're right, no matter what, we are also fated, I have made friends for life, only you are the most special, okay, we will meet later. ”
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say, "Why am I the most special?" ”
Xu Jingming looked depressed, and finally shook his head and said: "I don't say it, sometimes people can't tell the truth, but I don't want to lie to you, okay, okay, you don't want to get to the bottom of it, you have to go quickly." ”
Hao Fenglou smiled and hugged his fists. Xu Jingming also hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Goodbye."
"Be careful all the way."

A few days later, Changxing Island arrived.
The outer three islands of Songjiang Prefecture, according to the agreement, are now regarded as a dowry given by the imperial court to the Hao family.
In fact, the most unlucky thing in this war is the Japanese people after all, this Langshan and the imperial court are fighting, and as a result, his mother negotiated peace, but the Japanese people are unlucky, and more than 100,000 people are trapped on Chongming Island.
The workshops of Chongming Island have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and many trading houses have brought many skilled craftsmen to land here, and then began to organize Japanese laborers to produce, in addition, the port of Chongming Island is also being built and expanded, because of the demand for trade, Lang Son shipping companies are also willing to expand their business here.
Now there are many ships moored here, but fortunately, although there are ships, those Japanese people do not dare to escape lightly.
On the one hand, of course, thanks to a Japanese escort team on the island, this so-called escort team, in fact, is the Japanese traitors, they are selected from the Japanese people, served as an errand similar to a foreman, do not have to work every day, when distributing food and fresh water, often treat well, so the Japanese people have begun to divide internally, some of them are pitiful, the other part is doing well, there is a contradiction with differentiation, and there is a contradiction, and naturally, the Japanese guards are very happy, with the stick in their hands, good life to supervise the work of these coolies.
On the other hand, it is out of the cautious and patient character of the Japanese people, and they will not breed chaos unless they have to, and in this respect, their appearance is actually much better than that of the laborers of Lang Son. Obedient, no complaints, get up early every day, eat miscellaneous grains, do real work, do no cheating, and do fine work.
Nowadays there are more and more workshops here, and the nature of capital is nothing more than uncontrolled expansion, seizing any possible market, producing here, all the goods can be shipped directly to Korea and the Japanese country, without worrying about sales, the production cost is low, and the labor is almost worthless, although the transportation cost is higher, it is barely acceptable.
The envoys of the Japanese people have arrived, and they only hope to release these Japanese people to return to China, but unfortunately, they have not received a satisfactory answer, and the country of the Japanese country is already in mourning at this time.
On the one hand, the expeditionary force of the Japanese people has spent the national strength of the entire Japanese country, and the war itself involved in the heavenly kingdom is a big gamble for the Japanese people, and the loss will naturally make their confidence fall to the bottom, after losing confidence, the dissatisfaction accumulated before will also erupt, and several daimyo directly launched a rebellion, in fact, because of the founding of the country, for the accumulation of capital, there have long been a lot of contradictions in the island of the Japanese country, and the reason why it did not break out is only because of this confidence, so this rebellion has long been expected.
On the other hand, there is the closure of a large number of workshops.
Because the Japanese people belong to the backward, the vast majority of their workshops can not adapt to market competition, so many workshops have been supported by the small imperial court of the Japanese state, and once there are changes in the country, the financial difficulties of the Japanese state have also occurred, this kind of support will not exist in an instant, as a result, many workshops began to go bankrupt, and the island is full of unemployed craftsmen, who have nothing to do, but it is impossible to return to the countryside to farm, so they become homeless. In addition, it is Chongming Island's Langshan goods began to have direct competition with the Wa Guo goods, Lang Shan's production scale, often very large, the skills are more exquisite, the production of goods, good quality and low price, in the past, because Lang Shan is too far away from Wa Island, so the Wa State whip is out of reach, and now, Chongming Island has solved this trouble, a large number of goods began to be exported in Wa Dao, and the national industry of Wa Guo collapsed in an instant, the so-called once back to the solution of FANG, probably such a scene.
