"When we withdraw from France like this, don't we give France to the Hebrews?" Zhang Huangyan took the draft of the telegram sent by Li Xiao to Zheng Sen, and went to Li Xiao with some annoyance.

"Huh! The Hebrews were greedy by nature, and letting them run France would only suck it dry.

They are fit to run a business, not a state power.

We have planted the seeds of revolt in France, and you think that those who were killed by Meura have no relatives?

Behind one person there may be ten people, and this time Mula killed tens of thousands of people in Paris. Tens of thousands of exiles were in exile!

Then you say, how many people can hate him now.

France is not the Ming Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty alone has a population of 77 million people in Liaodong, Shandong, and Hebei.

The entire population of France, including the elderly and the dolls in confinement, together is just over 18 million people.

In the next step, we will continue our anti-French propaganda based in Prussia and England.

The people are ignorant, and their vision is narrower than you think.

As long as we keep instilling it, they will hate their government. This, coupled with the greedy nature of the Hebrews, led to higher and higher taxes for the French government.

This, combined with our economic blockade, will make the French economy more and more difficult.

Wait!

In a few years, the French themselves will be in chaos. ”

Li Xiao looked at Zhang Huangyan for a long time!

Listening to Li Xiao's words, Zhang Huangyan's lips moved a few times and did not speak.

These ideas that Li Xiao said were very fresh, and Zhang Huangyan couldn't understand them for a while.

"Mr. Zhang, Zhang Shoufu!

Times have changed, things that used to require spears and cannons to do. Now with a little money, you can achieve much of the same.

That's a lot of money saved than going to war!

To be honest, I don't want to do that. But this method is simple, efficient, low-cost, and most importantly, it saves money. ”

In fact, what Li Xiao cares about most is to save money!

As soon as the cannon sounded, there were 10,000 taels of gold, and after many wars, the top management of the whole Ming Dynasty realized that war was burning money.

Relatively speaking, the method used by Daming now is very cost-effective.

For Zhang Huangyan, the cheaper the better.

"If you follow the statement of the marshal, it is indeed the case. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many such tricks.

It's just that at that time, the main ones were sent to spread rumors. And now, we have newspapers, and those enemy people who envy the Ming Dynasty.

The embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, and the chaos that occurred inside was much less expensive than if we forced it in. Zhang Huangyan is also a person who is familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, vivid examples were placed there.

"Oh, yes! Tell domestic merchants, starting this year. We want to import French wines in large quantities! Li Xiao thought about it, and suddenly said to Zhang Huangyan.

"Handsome! You're not talking about a trade blockade of France, how ......! Li Xiao's words made Zhang Huangyan a little confused.

"You say, if the price of wine is very high. Do the French know how to grow grapes? ”

"That's natural, ten catties of grapes can probably only produce six to eight catties of wine." Grapes are an important crop introduced in the Western Regions, and only Hami can produce tens of thousands of catties of raisins every year.

Don't look at these things are not valuable in the Western Regions, but these things are transported to the mainland by rail, and they are worth silver.

Today's capital, every time it is the time of the New Year. As long as the family is well-off, everyone has to weigh a pound.

Raisins are already sold three or four times more expensive than mutton in the capital. Even so, it is still in a state of priceless and unmarketable.

Zhang Huangyan, who pays attention to the economy of the Western Regions, naturally understands this kind of thing. Last year, Zhang Huangyan just issued an order that the people of the Western Regions were not allowed to use grapes to make wine.

The reason is that wine is a waste of grapes, and it is better to make raisins and sell them for money.

Li Xiao felt that the brain circuits of these people were really a little surprised!

Waste grapes in winemaking, does it mean that it doesn't cost grapes to dry raisins?

There is no way to understand these people, so Li Xiao simply doesn't understand. Anyway, these things belong to civil affairs, and since they are civil affairs, Li Xiao adheres to the principle of not mixing without mixing.

"The French are sanctioned by our Ming Dynasty, and all industries will be in a temporary depression.

If the wine industry is prosperous, it is only natural that many farmers will grow grapes in order to make wine. ”

Zhang Huangyan suddenly realized: "It takes a lot of grapes to make wine, and in the end, the land of France will become a grape plantation."

And then suddenly we stopped importing wine...... So......!

Hehe! Guan Zhong is wise, handsome and smart! ”

"That's right!

When French wine production increased year after year, and finally there was no way to rise, that was the peak of French viticulture.

We can cut off the French wine trade at once, and we can buy grain at exorbitant prices all over Europe and all over the world.

Hehe! Guess what the effect would be? ”

"There will be a great famine in France, and it will be a great famine. Coupled with the Hebrews, France would become a real purgatory on earth. ”

Zhang Huangyan shuddered, but he didn't expect the consequences of the trade war to be so terrible.

"That's it! This is called a trade war, and we can use it more and more to attack our enemies in the future. Li Xiao said with a smile.

Trade war......!

Zhang Huangyan's eyes suddenly widened, and he muttered, "It's not good, maybe the Hebrews have already used the same method against us." ”

"What?" Li Xiao's eyes widened, and since last year, the Ming Dynasty has begun to expel foreigners in an all-round way.

Foreigners who can stay in Daming must all have a special pass. There are only more than 100 special passes issued by the Ming Dynasty, which means that there are only more than 100 Westerners living in the land of the Ming Dynasty.

With just these more than 100 people, can there be storms and waves?

"Half a month ago, there was an incident in Jinan. A middle school kid jumped off a building for unknown reasons.

As a result, a few days later, a newspaper in Jinan declared. This student was beaten and humiliated by the son of the Taoist platform, and jumped off the building in depression to commit suicide.

In recent times, this matter has been the most hyped. There were also many people who ran to the school gate to demonstrate.

As for the people who watched the excitement, it was even more crowded.

The local government reported the matter, and I have already ordered Jinyi Wei to investigate it.

In retrospect, it seems to be similar to the approach we used in France. Zhang Huangyan said suddenly.

"Is there such a thing?" Li Xiao's eyes narrowed.

"That's true, because I don't think it's a big deal. It is a local case, and Jinyiwei should be able to handle it, so he didn't inform the marshal. ”

Zhang Huangyan explained!

Indeed, this kind of trivial matter in the local area is generally not reported to Li Xiao. Li Xiao is in charge of the army, and the affairs of the army are annoying every day, where is there time to deal with such things.

"Yesterday, Jin Yiwei reported that there was something strange about this matter. Those who made trouble at the school gate were not natives of Jinan Prefecture. And there are a lot of Henan people from Lankao!

As you know, Lankaona is a well-known poor place in Henan Province with nine floods in ten years. Jin Yiwei suspected that someone had hired and organized these people to make trouble in Jinan. ”

"Huh! I didn't expect those Hebrews to really learn and use it. So quickly, I learned it, and I used our Daming.

If you want to subvert the rule of the Ming court, hehe! The power is still in our hands, and we are afraid of what they will do.

I'll ask you a question, Jin Yiwei has found out whether it is as rumored at this time. Was he humiliated and persecuted to death by the son of the Daotai? Li Xiao had a wolf-like light in his eyes.

Zhang Huangyan had no doubt if it was true. Then this Daotai is considered dead, and the troublesome son is estimated to be dead.

"Jin Yiwei reported, this matter is nothing. The son of Lord Daotai is eighteen years old this year.

I didn't go to junior high school, but I was already in high school.

Jinan High School and Jinan Junior High School, the school is not together at all. Moreover, there were classrooms and students who testified that the childe of the dodai did not leave the school at all that day. ”

"Really didn't leave?" Li Xiao looked at Zhang Huangyan and asked, he knew the truth of the protection of officials and officials.

Zhang Huangyan has been in Shandong for many years, and it is difficult to guarantee that this Daotai master has nothing to do with him.

"Jinan High School is a boarding school, and it has two days off every ten days. Before the day off, all students live and live in the school.

The son of an elder is somewhat involved in this matter. But it was just a few days before the incident and the deceased quarreled, and three days before the incident.

The chief's father died of illness, and the chief's son naturally went home to mourn. On the day of the incident, it was not in Jinan at all. ”

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly explained!

"I see!" Li Xiao nodded, sure that there was no doubt that there was something behind him.

However, Jinyiwei has now been reduced to dealing with ordinary criminal cases, and this kind of matter related to national security naturally has to be released.

"Hey! Pick up the national security yamen. Li Xiao picked up the phone and ordered to connect to the national security yamen.

"Uh......! The old man went back, found out the matter, and ordered the local government to dismiss the rioters. Seeing that Li Xiao was looking for green beads, Zhang Huangyan immediately retired.

He knew that when Li Xiao explained things to Lu Zhu, there were usually only the two of them in the office.

"Nope! Don't dismiss, arrest them all. If they were really hired, these peasants would not have been able to withstand the torture methods of Jinyiwei.

It is necessary to peel off the cocoon like a thread, and follow the line to bring out the people behind the scenes one by one. ”

"No!" Zhang Huangyan said yes and walked out.

After a while, Lu Zhu came to Li Xiao's office: "Dashuai, you are looking for me." ”

"Do you know about Jinan?"

"Jinan...... Oh, that student jumping off a building. Luzhu was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

"That's right! It's a matter of Jinan, you go and find out who is agitating behind the scenes. After finding out, there is no forgiveness for killing!

To give you a reminder, let's start with the newspaper in Jinan. Keep an eye on that reporter and you'll find out something. ”

"No!" Luzhu nodded and immediately took the order.

Li Xiao secretly hates!

I didn't expect that the Hebrews would follow suit as soon as I used this method.

It's really fucking fast!

What Li Xiao hates the most is that some people are really for money, and they will actually betray their ancestors.

If it is placed in the time of foreign invasion, these people are proper traitors, leading the way. It is better to kill them now than to let them do evil when the country is in trouble.

At the very least, they will not bring more harm to the nation and the nation.

The efficiency of the green bead is not covered, and only two days later, he gave Li Xiao a report.

"Priest!" Li Xiao was a little surprised to see the word priest written on the back of John Konyde's name.

As a result of the agreement with the Pope, more than half of the people who received the special permit from the Ming Dynasty were missionaries from the West.

Li Xiao didn't suspect these people!

"It's this Father John Konide, who paid off the Jinan tabloid to produce this report.

The so-called handwritten letter from the deceased's father was also found to be forged. The father of the deceased was a bathing worker in the Sichuan River Pool in Jinan and was illiterate at all.

The priest hired local farmers from Lankao and other places through a parishioner named Jia Sanbiaozi, and took a train to Jinan to make trouble at the school gate.

And the reason why this matter is so big is that it is also unfavorable for the yamen of Jinan Prefecture. The school's attitude towards students' families is indifferent and blunt. ”

"I see!

Those who received money to make trouble were all distributed to the Western Regions or Heilongjiang Reclamation.

As for that Jia Sanbiaozi, there is also the reporter of the Jinan tabloid. Guarded by the people of Jinyiwei, the speech of Jinan City was full of facts, telling the story as it was.

The streets and alleys were talked about for three months, and then they were in the downtown of Jinan...... Ling Chi! Li Xiao viciously said the way to deal with it.

"Handsome, Ling Chi?" Lu Zhu was stunned, she didn't expect that such a trivial matter would also use Ling Chi's capital punishment.

"That's right! Ling Chi. They are treason and should be punished for treason. Li Xiao said coldly.

"That'...... That priest John Conid ......! ”

"Grab it and pull something useful out of his mouth. Then ......, let him rot in prison. ”

Li Xiao did not kill John Konid explicitly, but to give the Pope a face. After all, the next series of actions of the Ming Dynasty in Europe need the support of the Pope.

This is also something that cannot be helped, who makes the whole of Europe a religious believer.

"No!" Green Bead promised but didn't leave.

"Anything else?" Li Xiao frowned and asked.

"Recently in Hangzhou, there was a similar thing. A government officer was responsible for maintaining order, but a septuagenarian came out to stop him.

The old man insulted and obstructed the errand officer, forcing him to have no choice but to splash his eyes with soapy water.

As a result, it was used by people with good intentions, saying that it was a servant who abused the elderly.

After investigation at Hangzhou Station, it was learned that the old man not only blocked the errand, but also wanted to snatch the weapon in the hand of the errand officer. In this case, the errand only uses soap and water to consider the other party's old age. ”

"Oh, there's such a thing."
