Chapter 4 Secret Mission, Ordered to Pick Up Girls (Ask for Collection, Ask for Monthly Passes, Ask for Recommendations, Ask for Follow-up)

"What? Elect, elect the monarchy? ”

Zhuge Xiaoliang was still shocked by the old traverser's handwriting, where did this guy come from? Austria-Hungary? Why did you still come up with the elective imperial system? Is this a big mess in the world?

Guo Xiaobao said with a smile: "It's almost like electing the emperor, but this emperor elected by the parliamentary assembly has no real power." The reason why the emperor is selected from various palaces is mainly because he is worried that after the royal family becomes bigger, he will have bad intentions and will create the opposition of the eight meritorious heroes! ”

This is the eight heroes of Ming Zhongxing, and he is really loyal!

Zhuge Xiaoliang nodded and said: "It is indeed necessary to guard against it, there have been many examples of faint kings and loyal ministers in history!" ”

"It's not," Guo Xiaobao said, "Especially the Kui Wang's family is still from the camp, and the first generation of King Kui Zhong is still the nephew of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and is known as the king of Xiaochuang." If the emperor of the Zhu family really holds the power, King Kui Zhong will not dare to be the king of loyalty! ”

"What? King Kuizhong? Zhuge Xiaoliang was stunned, "Li Laiheng's nickname is loyalty?" ”

Guo Xiaobao nodded: "The nicknames of the eight kings of the heroes are all 'loyalty'...... Because the son of heaven of the Zhu family is an ornament, the eight kings of the meritorious heroes can be loyal kings with peace of mind. ”

Zhuge Xiaoliang said: "That's right! Their old Zhu family still has a precedent of killing meritorious heroes, if they really want to let the emperor of the Zhu family grasp the power, the eight kings of meritorious heroes are not in danger, and they can't be loyal ministers if they want to. ”

"You're Shengming!" Guo Xiaobao pretended to provoke a thumb up and praised it.

Zhuge Xiaoliang asked again: "But the heroes and eight kings all have their own soldiers and horses, territory, and dominate one side, even if there is no Zhu family faint king, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along peacefully, right?" ”

He is now a little worried about the chaotic "Holy Ming Empire", the world now seems to have achieved industrialization ahead of schedule, and the distance from Europe to East Asia is no longer far away. If the Ming Dynasty were to fight a civil war in eight parts, like the Holy Roman Empire, it would give imperialism an opportunity.

Guo Xiaobao helplessly glanced at Zhuge Weidao, who was not stupid, and explained: "What Brother Daozi can think of, how could Zhuge Wuzhong Wang Tianzong not think of it?" He paused, and then said, "While electing the emperor and making the law, King Zhuge Wuzhong also proposed eight policies for the revitalization of the country, such as equalizing land rights, encouraging industry and commerce, establishing education, organizing a new army, developing the navy, rectifying discipline, establishing a joint court of eight kings, and implementing a local civil official examination and the appointment system of liuguan. ”

"Equal tenure?" Zhuge Xiaoliang asked, "Is it to divide the land of the world equally?" I'm afraid this won't be easy, right? ”

Guo Xiaobao said with a smile: "It is indeed not easy to average land rights, but it is also difficult to live up to King Wuzhong and his old man." Moreover, in the thirteenth and fourteenth years of Yongli, the world experienced wars, but it is not like today, when I have a population of 36 million. At that time, the population of the entire world was only 50 or 60 million, and the Ming Dynasty only had half of the world, with a population of only more than 30 million. If there are fewer people and more land, it is natural that you can divide more.

Moreover, the rules set by King Wuzhong are not completely equally divided, but will be awarded to Xuntian and Juetian according to the size of the merit and the level of the title. The imperial court also retained a large amount of official land for the construction of cities and roads, and the mountains, forests, and mines of the country were also owned by the state.

In addition, the law of equal land rights only governs the distribution of land in the 13 provinces of the Ming Dynasty. How to divide the land outside the two capitals and thirteen provinces is to be handled by the imperial court and the parliamentary assembly on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, the interests of the heroes can still be guaranteed. ”

Zhuge Xiaoliang nodded: "It's easy to say, this law of equalizing land rights really wants to be carried out, I'm afraid it won't work in ten or eight years, right?" ”

Guo Xiaobao said: "It's not, it took a whole decade to find out the land in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Huguang, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other Beijing and nine provinces.

And this Juntian Law is linked to the Military Service Law, which is the foundation of the stability of the world. Although the martial arts are not as skilled as those private soldiers, they are not easy to be mastered by the generals into private troops. Moreover, the new army run by the imperial court at that time was based on the Wuwang battalion as a template, relying on the whole team to fire guns and artillery bombardment to win, and did not rely much on individual bravery, and the recruited Juntian peasant soldiers could be trained for several months to go into battle to kill the enemy. Therefore, the private soldiers gradually became the chicken ribs of each family, and later they were gradually digested by King Wuzhong with the post distribution method of Wuzhong. Now there are only a very small number of soldiers in each family, and they can't become the climate. ”

"Is it really that easy?" Zhuge Xiaoliang still didn't believe it.

Guo Xiaobao glanced at Zhuge Weidao, and seemed to be a little crying and laughing, "Brother Daozi won't even forget your family's divine arithmetic, right?" Zhuge is a half-immortal, he has no last resort, and he orders the Quartet, don't dare to disobey...... When King Wuzhong was alive, who in the world was not convinced? After the death of Zheng Chengzhong Wang, King Wuzhong was even more true to his word, and his words followed the law. With his old man's magic calculation and grace and power, are you still afraid that Zhongxing Eight Strategies will not be able to push it down? ”

"Nothing to do? Is it a goldfinger pretending to be a ghost? Zhuge Xiaoliang complained in his heart, "You old traverser is too inauthentic, the golden finger has been opened for you, what should I drive?" And you Y also tampered with history beyond recognition, my T mother is a history teacher, and now she doesn't understand history! ”

Guo Xiaobao saw that Zhuge was silent, and he didn't want to coax him to play anymore, he still had to send a secret message to his aunt and several old men of the Zhuge family, Zhuge talents they sent to the Rakshasa country to handle important matters let Lao Maozi's rebellious soldiers shoot a stupid person, how is this good?

So Guo Xiaobao said with a concerned face: "Brother Daozi, I met a doctor when I came just now, and he said that you have a head injury, and there may be bruises in it that have not gone away, and it has compressed the nerves, maybe you can recover after resting for a while...... When you're recovered, you'll remember everything. If you don't rest first, I'll go back to the embassy first. ”

"Wait a minute," seeing Guo Xiaobao getting up and about to leave, Zhuge Weidao hurriedly stopped him, "Baozhi, there's another thing I can't remember clearly......

When Guo Xiaobao heard him say this, he had no choice but to sit firmly on the chair again, looked at Zhuge Xiaoliang and said: "Brother Daozi, if you have anything you can't remember, just ask me, I am your military attache document, so I should remember it for you." ”

"Then can I ask......" Zhuge Xiaoliang asked, "Is there any particularly important errand that sent me to the Rakshasa Country?" He pointed to his head, "I'm vague here, I can't remember everything." ”

Guo Xiaobao showed an expression of admiration: "You are like this, and you have not forgotten your official duties, but you are really dedicated to the country, and the lower officials really admire it." Sending you to Rakshasa is naturally a matter of urgency, otherwise I wouldn't have let you go! ”

It's really blindfolded to Zhuge Xiaoliang!

Zhuge Xiaoliang pondered again, although he has "amnesia" now, it seems that he will live in this new China that has changed a little bit in the name of Zhuge in the future. In that case, he had to do his errands as well as he could. In this way, after going back, you can be promoted and make a fortune!

Just now, Natalie and Mikhail said that the children of the Zhuge family want to compete for a military advisor...... It seems to be quite intense, Zhuge Xiaoliang is unwilling to give up.

Thinking of this, he pricked up his ears, looked at his military attache clerk Guo Xiaobao, and waited to continue.

Guo Xiaobao said: "Brother Daozi, you have come all the way to Petersburg, there is a total of one light and one dark, and two errands. The errand on the surface is to promote our Ming Dynasty's latest 15,000-ton ironclad battleship...... This is a dispatch from the Navy Yamen, and it must be done. ”

Fifteen-thousand-ton ironclad ships? Can Daming make it now?

Zhuge Xiaoliang was taken aback and thought, "This is a former dreadnought!" Historically, it had to be built around 1895, right? Can Daming make it now? It's been almost 70 years since this technology accelerated! ”

"Who are the competitors?" Zhuge Xiaoliang asked again.

There must be competitors in this deal, otherwise the Navy Yamen would not be so nervous and say that "it must be done".

"It's the UK." Guo Xiaobao said, "They came up with the latest Sovereign class, which is also a large ship of about 15,000 tons, and the first ship, the Sovereign, was only put into use last year. ”

"Who's better?" Zhuge Xiaoliang asked again.

Guo Xiaobao was a little unhappy now, "Daozi, how can you ask that?" Of course, this battleship is ours! I'll send you the bidding materials when I go back, and you'll know it at a glance! ”

"What about kickbacks?" Zhuge Xiaoliang asked again, "How much are you going to give?" ”

Hearing this question, Guo Xiaobao said: "It seems that you have lost a little memory at most, and you have not become a fool, and you know that you have to give kickbacks!" ”

"It is an international practice to pay 5 percent of the total contract price," Guo said...... The British are also of this number. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhuge Xiaoliang was relieved, and then asked: "What is the secret send?" ”

"It's Natalie. Pavrovna Archduchess ......" Guo Xiaobao lowered his voice, leaned into Zhuge Xiaoliang's ear, and said in a low voice, "She is very important, you have to get her to Daming!" ”

This task is good, I am ordered to pick up girls!

When Zhuge Xiaoliang heard this task, her head didn't hurt anymore, Natalie was so beautiful, she was still the female archduke of the Rakshasa Empire, the dowry must be indispensable, and she was obviously interested in herself (in fact, Zhuge was the way...... This is the "heroine"!

Moreover, since this matter is a "task", it is a great thing for the country and the people, and of course it must be resolutely completed.

"By the way, I should ...... Not married, right? "Zhuge Xiaoliang has already thought of getting married, and Natalie. Grand Duchess Pavrovna. But he thought of himself as a wealthy and noble son, and he was in his twenties, so it was unlikely that he would be single, right?

"No," Guo Xiaobao shook his head, "With Brother Daozi's age and family background, the marriage matter should have been resolved a long time ago." But Ling Zun kept saying that he was not in a hurry to say good things, so he kept dragging it out, making my aunt anxious...... But Ling Zun is gone again. Then you have to keep filial piety for another three years, and when the three years are over, you will come to the Rakshasa country, and this thing will not be able to be done again. ”

"Good things are not in a hurry...... Come to the Rakshasa Country...... Bubble Natalie Grand Duchess! I see! Zhuge Xiaoliang made up for it in his head, and immediately made up the truth.

It turned out that when the old man came to the Rakshasa Kingdom to help Alexander I fight Napoleon, he had already set his sights on Natalie, who was still a little Lori, so Zhuge Weidao's marriage would be delayed again and again, and later he had the task of picking up girls by order. This dad is a good dad, and he must burn more paper money for others when he goes back.

"This ...... How much money is there? Thinking of paper money, Zhuge Xiaoliang asked about silver.

Picking up girls costs money, and now that it's official business, of course it has to be reimbursed.

"Yes, yes, of course!" Guo Xiaobao said, "The boss gave 30,000 silver yuan, which is the secret fund for two errands...... All of them are stored in your account at the Yangtze River Bank, the cheque is with me, and you carry the cheque stamp with you. ”

"Thirty thousand silver yuan! Sounds like a lot! Zhuge Xiaoliangxin said: "This Da Ming is really good, even the cost of pickling girls will be reimbursed, and it is worth allegiance!"

Anyway, I can't go back when I look at it, and in the future, I can only survive in this strange world in the name of Zhuge as the Tao...... I just don't know how I'm doing in the other world? Is it dead, or is it worn by this Zhuge for the Tao? ”

After making up his mind, Zhuge Xiaoliang, oh, it should be Zhuge Weidao nodded at Guo Xiaobao and said, "Baozhi, I may not be sure about the sale of warships, but Natalie's business is on me!" ”

Guo Xiaobao said with a smile: "It's a great achievement to do two things and do one!" ”

"This skill is quite good!" Zhuge Weidao (now all Zhuge is called Dao) Xin said: "That Natalie is obviously interested in me. By the way, I'm supposed to be a handsome guy now, right? No, I need to look in the mirror and take a good look. ”

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao said: "My head is a little dizzy again, and it seems that I have to squint for a while." ”

Guo Xiaobao got up and said, "Daozi, you have a good rest." Ambassador Wei, I'll take a leave of absence for you, and Deputy Military Attache Huang can act as his agent for the affairs of the Military AttachΓ©'s Office. ”

Zhuge nodded for Dao, and finally asked: "Baozhi, the names and trade names of this Ambassador Wei and Deputy Military Attache Huang are ......."

Guo Xiaobao said: "Ambassador Wei is far away, the word is Mosheng, and the number is good. Deputy Military Attache Huang is a scholar, the character is Zhisheng, and the military rank is also a naval lieutenant. ”
