Chapter 21 Ben Zhuge pinched his fingers, Daoguang, you have to go and ask for food!

It's dawn!

Zhuge Weidao, who was sleeping soundly on the table, suddenly heard the voices of Yu Hui and Guo Xiaobao in his ears.

"Brother Daozi, it's dawn!"

"Brother Daozi, wake up!"

"Brother Daozi, you're here......"

"Brother Daozi, don't sleep, someone is looking for you to tell your fortune!"

Zhuge Weidao, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by two good friends like this, and then he opened his hazy sleepy eyes, looked left and right, and found Yu Hui and Guo Xiaobao standing beside him on the left and right.

Zhuge Weidao also asked, "Changfu, Baozhi, we were all drunk last night?" ”

"Yes, yes, they're all drunk!"

"yes, we're drunk together!"

Zhuge asked again: "The three of us slept at the wine table all night?" ”

"Yes, we didn't go anywhere, we got drunk all night."

"Brother Daozi, you are the same!"

Zhuge breathed a sigh of relief for Dao and asked, "That, that...... You just said you had a visitor? ”

"Yes," Guo Xiaobao said, "Just now Fairy Nalan sent someone to report that there was a distinguished guest who wanted to ask Brother Daozi to solve his doubts. ”

"Puzzled?"

"It's fortune telling!" Yu Hui said with a smile, "The Jin people believe this, and it is also the law passed down by King Wuzhong, you are the queen of King Wuzhong...... They have something they can't solve, of course they want to ask you for help. ”

The visitor was a fat man with a big pie face, small eyes, and two small mustaches, and he looked like a Mongolian.

Take a second look...... Zhuge Weidao, who could pinch and calculate, was also confused, because he saw He Shen and Nalandili standing respectfully behind the fat Mongolian!

Nalandili is so respectful, even if she is only a fairy after all. But who is Heshen? The scholar of Wuji Hall and the minister of the Heavenly Machine Department, the prime minister, and the patriarch of the three dynasties of the Dajin Kingdom.

In this Jin Empire, it seems that the only person who can make him serve so respectfully and respectfully is Emperor Daoguang.

But why is this Daoguang so fat? Could it be because the cattle and sheep people in the Fergana Basin are very cheap, and there is no Ministry of Internal Affairs to report to him, so he eats and drinks like this every day? Or is it this Daoguang...... Already relegated by brutal historical changes? Thinking that the Daoguang who had been distressed for a long time after eating an egg had been "wiped out", Zhuge sighed for the Tao.

This sigh doesn't matter, it can startle Fat Daoguang.

What does this mean? Just sigh as soon as you meet? Could it be that I don't have a good face? I look in the mirror every day to meet myself, the absolute Ninety-Five!

He was worried, Zhuge had already bowed his hand for the Tao - he had already inquired with Guo Xiaobao that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty did not worship the king of the small state! So just bow when you see Daoguang.

Of course, the officials of the Ming Dynasty generally did not bow to the emperor and the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty. One is because they basically can't see the two; The second is that kneeling is only required in extremely important situations, and not everyone needs to kneel, the heads of the eight great families have the privilege of "not kneeling", and many high-ranking officials and senior officials of the council also have such privileges.

After arching his hand, Zhuge Weidao smiled and said to Fat Daoguang: "You must be a great nobleman of the Jin Kingdom, right?" Zhuge is polite. Then he arched his hand at He Shen again, "Morning with Senior Brother." ”

Fat Daoguang just smiled faintly, noncommittal. He brought He Shen over, and he didn't plan to hide his identity, but he didn't put on a dragon robe, but wore a Taoist uniform, and wore a ponytail scarf on his head - that is, a wig, because the Taoist priest in the early Qing Dynasty also wanted to keep his hair without a head, so he invented this kind of wig hat, put it on when doing it, and take it off when checking for baldness. Of course, the current Dajin Kingdom does not dare to let Taoist priests shave their heads, but lay men still have to shave their hair. Of course, Daoguang also shaved his head, so he could only wear a wig and hat when he wore a Taoist robe.

He is dressed like this, and it is indeed appropriate for Zhuge Weidao to call him a "great nobleman".

He Shen introduced with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhuge , this is Jin Daoyou, he is indeed a great nobleman of my Jin Empire, and he is here today to ask my junior brother to solve his doubts." If the junior brother can solve the doubts in Jin Daoyou's heart, this hexagram will be very rich. ”

Well, you're a fortune teller.

Zhuge Weidao smiled and stretched out his hand to point to the chair in the room, invited Fat Daoguang and He Shen to sit down, and found a chair to sit down, and then looked at Fat Daoguang with a smile.

As for Nalandili, who is so beautiful that she is about to become an immortal, she has an elongated face and serves tea and water there as a maid - how beautiful she is! It's beautiful when you're young, and I don't know how many people think about it when you grow up. But I didn't expect that when it really came to the "actual combat", I would come to a disadvantageous teacher, and I met a Zhuge who was good at Longyang. This is really bitter and unspeakable!

What made her even more speechless was that when she reported this to Daoguang and He Shen just now, the two of them thought that Zhuge had pinched his fingers for Dao and calculated the conspiracy on his side, so he didn't touch her Nalan Fairy.

"I wonder what Mr. Jin wants to solve?" Zhuge Weidao picked up the fragrant tea sent by Fairy Nalan, took a sip, and then asked half-jokingly, "Is it related to wealth?" ”

O master!

Fat Daoguang and He Shen admired each other.

The current Dajin Kingdom is okay in other aspects, Wuji Valley (Fergana Basin) is a small world when the door is closed, there is no shortage of self-sufficiency, even salt mines, it is the end of the world outside, as long as the Jin Empire guards the valley pass, it can live a small life.

But this Wuji Valley has changed to a sea route since the Silk Road, and the days have become poorer and poorer, and after Kangxi's "Immortal Dynasty" came, there was no improvement. If you don't come to cultivate immortals, don't talk about it, it's quite expensive. Now that we have to do clear affairs and train the new army, it will cost even more money. Fat Daoguang has become a poor Daoguang, and he is so poor that he can't see hope.

What's even worse is that looking at Central Asia, Wuji Valley is still the richest place, and the Kazakh steppe, Khwarazm Oasis, Samarkand, and Bukhara are not as good as Wuji Valley.

At least Wuji Valley is a fertile land, rich in grain, and the snow melts in the Tianshan Mountains to replenish water, so it is basically a good place for those who can't go hungry. If it weren't for the traffic, the area would be pretty good.

As for the Mongol tribes in the Kazakh steppes and the Celestial cultists in the Khwarazm Oasis, Samarkand, Bukhara and other places, they are now subject to Dajin, and although they can't pay a few tributes, they don't get into much trouble - they can't beat the Jin Empire. The military strength of this Jin Empire is stronger than that of the Qing Dynasty in history! Those immortal cultivators are all proficient in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and if they pinch their fingers, they will have the shooting of the cannon!

So in addition to being poor, Fat Daoguang has no immediate worries at the moment.

But Fat Daoguang has already calculated the fate of "dying of poverty" when his Dajin Kingdom was passed to Emperor Xuantong, he wants to change his life against the sky, and he also wants to live a prosperous life for a few days, so he is sad every day, and now he is even more broken to ask Zhuge to find Zhuge Weidao This "amnesiac Zhuge ".

"Senior Brother Daozi, do you have any recipe for cracking it?"

"Then I'll do the math......"

Zhuge pinched his fingers for the Tao and began to count.

There is oil and gas in Central Asia, and what uranium mines are, which may be sold for a few bucks after the second industrial revolution. But now no one wants it, and the cost of mining and transportation is estimated to be quite high, so it will definitely not be paid.

If you can't mine, then it's considered a robbery!

Robbing Rakshasa?

Look for death!

Grab the Ming?

Go bananas!

Rob...... India?

It was the territory of the British Empire!

Rob Persia?

Persia also seems to be protected by the British.

Robbing Afghanistan? Forget it......

Since you can't rob it, you can only ...... I'm going to eat!

Not to mention, Zhuge Weidao's current brain is really good, and he thought of such a genius idea when he thought about it.

"There it is!" Zhuge smiled for Dao, "There is already a way!" ”

Fat Daoguang and He Shen were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all looked at Zhuge for Dao together.

He Shen asked, "I don't know what the plan of the junior brother is?" ”

Zhuge stretched out two fingers for the Tao: "Just two words, ask for food!" ”

"What?" Daoguang was stunned.

He Shen was also anxious, "Senior Brother Daozi, what are you talking about?" Mr. Kim is ......"

Nalandili on the side was gloating.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Zhuge waved his hand for Dao, "Mr. Jin, and senior brother, don't worry, I'm not asking you to take a bowl to the street to ask for food." ”

He Shen still shook his head: "You can't go anywhere!" I am a dignified gold, and that is also the immortal kingdom of the world, the emperor of the immortal kingdom ......"

Seeing that his identity was about to be revealed, Fat Daoguang hurriedly coughed a few times and interrupted He Shen.

Zhuge Weidao pretended to count his fingers again, "Mr. Jin, you need to pull more people, it's better to pull the Mongols in the north, the vassal kings of Bukhara, Khiva, and Samarkand in the south, let's gather more people and go to Persia and India in the south to ask for food!" ”

"Senior Brother Daozi, do you mean to go to Persia and India to rob?" He Shen shook his head, looking afraid, "That's the land under the protection of the British Empire!" ”

It turns out that He Shen is also afraid of Great Britain!

Zhuge Weidao looked at Fat Daoguang again, only to see that his brows were tightly locked, his face was solemn, and he was obviously a little afraid of Daying - there are also bad things about opening his eyes to see the world, and he was stunned when he looked at it.

Zhuge said with a smile: "Senior brother, what is Dajin afraid of?" Can the British Royal Navy still drive to the Endless Valley? ”

"That's not going to happen."

"And the British Army can come?" Zhuge Weidao smiled, "How many armies are they?" ”

He Shen said: "There are a lot of people in the East India Company's army! ”

Zhuge said with a smile: "Senior brother, I didn't let you conquer India and Persia, that can't be done, I just asked you to harass India and Persia, and by the way, ask the British Empire for New Year's gifts and flowers." That's what you want to eat! Those who called Hanako to cry and make trouble, sing and dance in front of the merchants, weren't they just asking for money? They didn't really want to break into the house, either.

The British Empire is so rich, isn't it a piece of cake to reward you with hundreds of thousands of pounds a year? Although the East India Company's army was quite numerous, its strength was very loose, and it might be able to get away with it on the Indian plains, but it was not enough to go up to the Afghan plateau. As long as you can pull in the Afghans and make a fortune together, you will not be afraid of not being able to ask for money. Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if the British really entered Afghanistan, they would not dare to enter the Wuji Valley...... Daikin is a buffer between Daming and Rakshasa, and they British dare to come and get involved? So you can continue to mess around with the British on the Afghan plateau. I have calculated that if you keep making trouble with the British, they will eventually go bankrupt and avoid disaster. ”
