Not to mention, Zheng Guozhong has great wisdom at this critical moment!

Who else can go to the battlefield to scare the British more than Lin Zexu? And the direct opponent was the East India Company...... It's all fate across time and space!

Lin Zexu originally wanted to embarrass Zhuge for the Tao, if nothing else, for Zhuge for the Tao, surnamed Zhuge for the Tao. On the side of the Ming Dynasty, all the officers and scribes who felt that they were a little resourceful liked to compete with the surnamed Zhuge .

But somehow, as soon as this arch light went to print the project, it was proposed...... Lin Zexu felt that this project was too fragrant and too relieved, and he couldn't bear to make it difficult. I'm afraid that if I make it difficult, it will be cheap.

Now that he heard Prime Minister Zheng Dacheng's final word, he could naturally rest assured that he would "test" Zhuge Weidao - this guy is a well-known "fox" of the Zhuge family, although he is not stupid now, maybe it is a trick to fool people?

Thinking of this, Lin Zexu stroked his beard and asked, "Brother Daozi, you are a talented person of the Zhuge family, and you are famous for your resourcefulness and thoughtfulness. You must already have a lot of ideas about the dispute between Kim and Ying, right? Let's hear it. ”

"Talents don't dare to be, but since Zhongtang wants to be a subordinate official, then the subordinate official will say," On the issue of "printing", Zhuge did not hide his cleverness, and opened his mouth to say, "According to the idea of the lower official, although we can't form an alliance with the Jin State to march into the army, we can't stay out of it." Rather, they should be actively involved...... This participation can be divided into two aspects, one is to fan the flames and provide guns and instructors for Emperor Daoguang's army; Second, it is necessary to actively promote diplomatic and peace talks. Emperor Daoguang's purpose is to make silver, and our purpose is to explore the bottom of the British Empire.

Therefore, we should fan the flames while preparing to extinguish the fire at any time, and after finding out the reality of the British Empire, we can let Emperor Daoguang accept it when we see it, or we can continue to fan the wind and let the war expand...... In short, our army can stay out of the way, but our envoys and servants must participate in it, and strive to control the course and scale of the war, so as to maximize the consumption of the British.

In addition, once Britain is deflated in the war with the Jin Empire, many people will surely be inspired...... Take Ali Pasha in Egypt, for example. So we can use this opportunity to further expand our influence in Egypt, Persia and other countries. Strive to reach some cooperation that is beneficial to us...... In this way, the benefits can be maximized. ”

Lin Zexu nodded again and again: "That's right...... Daozi, I didn't expect you to be so good at diplomacy as a navy. How about it, do you think about it, did you quit the Navy and come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? The old man will give you an ambassador directly! ”

Of course, Zhuge Weidao will not let the navy go to diplomacy - leading the main fleet to dominate the sea, that is every man's dream!

"Zhongtang," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "the navy is actually diplomatic. ”

"Naval diplomacy?" Lin Zexu was stunned for a moment, "What's the method?" ”

"We can talk to the British about spheres of influence and arms control...... If Britain is suffocated in India, we will have the upper hand in the negotiations!" Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "Zhongtang, why don't you visit in this name, and go to Gongdaoguang to send troops by the way?" ”

"Good!" Lin Zexu laughed. "What a double kill!"

Empress Dowager Zheng, who had been keeping her mouth shut and not interfering in the government's affairs, also giggled at this time: "Okay, good, if you can really go to India to find trouble with the British, it will be a great credit!" Fourth brother, you have to let the thirty-eighth brother and Xiao Daozi go together, and they will also be stained. ”

Zheng Guozhong laughed: "Of course...... When I go back, I'll find Prime Minister Zhuge to make a good calculation, so that the eight great families can share a little credit. ”

After listening to the conversation between the brothers and sisters of the Zheng family, Zhuge Weidao was also a little crying and laughing, a little fart credit has to be shared by the eight major families, how much credit does these eight families lack? Co-authoring you is the lack of merit of the five elements!

Zhuge Weidao felt strange things, and the Zheng family brothers and sisters and Lin Zexu took it for granted - the current Ming Dynasty is a real peaceful and prosperous era, not to mention that there is no foreign war, even the interior is safe and stable, and there has been no thief for almost a hundred years.

In such a peaceful and prosperous world, even a little bit of credit is very valuable to those "masters" of the eight great families.

So after Zheng Guozhong listened to his brother Zheng Guoxian report this matter in person last night, he called Lin Zexu, a scholar of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to his office early this morning to discuss how to divide this "great credit"!

Of course, the project of "Daoguang Printing" is not too big in the hands of Zhuge Weidao. He came up with an idea and set a fire, which made Daoguang think.

But if this project really wants to be done, and it needs to be bigger, it is not something that he can do as a major. This must be led by the left and right, plus the heads of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry, and of course, it is indispensable to discuss with the people of the eight major families - each family has elite children who need to be promoted quickly.

Therefore, once this "printing project" is taken by the eight major families who are "lacking merit in the five elements" and used as a political achievement project, it will definitely be carried out bigger. Anyway, the British came over and had Daoguang to carry it, and the Jin Empire had been preparing for war for more than a hundred years, and Wuji Valley was impregnable, but there was not even a good road outside Wuji Valley. If the British really hit it, they would have to vomit blood just by walking.

At that time, Daming can come up with a big project of "Anti-British Aid", and the children of the eight great families can make meritorious contributions. This is sustainable trouble, sustainable meritorious service, and it is not easy to cause fire...... It's fun to think about!

"Brother Daozi," Zheng Guozhong said to Zhuge Weidao with a smile, "Although you have disturbed the situation of Fuluo (Rakshasa) against Britain this time, it is good that you can arch the Jin Kingdom into India." The merits and demerits are enough to offset it! Although the affairs of the Archduchess Natalie did not work out, it is not your fault...... Barbarian, that's it. The grandmother of the Archduchess Natalie, Catherine the Great, is a group of J husbands, and I think it's good that this thing is yellow.

In addition, this Hongwu Emperor-level transaction is really facilitated, a big order of more than 10 million silver yuan! This is a great achievement, and I have to give you a boost. ”

This is also a promotion!

Zhuge said for the Taoist heart: "I, a traverser, can be regarded as a 'rare in the book', not only stole the alternate queen, but also slept with the current queen mother, and stirred up the family's plan for more than ten years, so he was actually promoted, and sure enough, there are people in the palace who are good officials!" ”

Thinking of this, he smiled gratefully at Empress Dowager Zheng, and then bowed his hand to Zheng Guozhong: "Thank you for the cultivation of the prime minister." ”

Zheng Guozhong laughed, waved his hand and said, "It's just a lieutenant colonel, and you deserve it." ”

Zhuge Weidao heard Zheng Guozhong say this, and his impression of this Zheng family boss was much better. But at this moment, the Zheng family's "eldest brother" came again: "Queen Mother, who is better to let the J husband who defiled the female Grand Duchess of Natalie investigate?" ”

What do you mean? Do you still want to check Ben J Husband?

Zhuge Weidao was a little speechless when he heard this, and his good impression of Zheng Guozhong was swept away.

Empress Dowager Zheng was also a little crying and laughing, this Zheng Guozhong thought a little bit about where it is, the degree of this old treacherous and cunning is the same as Zhuge Lao'er!

However, she couldn't save Zheng Guozhong's face, so she had to sigh, and then turned her eyes to Zhuge Wei and said: "Daozi, you are most familiar with the Grand Duke of Natalie, and she is because of you...... The negligence of others is tarnished. So I'll leave this errand to find out J's husband to you! ”

You've found the right person!

There is no one in the world who knows better than Zhuge Weidao where to catch the J husband who slept with Natalie!

"Respectfully lead the order!" Zhuge Weidao didn't know how to avoid suspicion, so he immediately didn't say a word, and received the edict of the Empress Dowager Zheng.

Empress Dowager Zheng smiled: "Okay, that's all for Natalie." She looked at Zheng Guozhong, Lin Zexu, and Yu Hui, "This is not a good thing, and it is also related to the decency of the Ming Dynasty and the Rakshasa countries." So the loss of the Grand Duchess Natalie...... Let's just act like it didn't happen!"

Zheng Guozhong, Lin Zexu, and Yu Hui responded together: "Yes! ”

Empress Dowager Zheng nodded: "Fourth brother, Lin Zhongtang, Ambassador Yu, don't ask about Natalie's affairs, the mourning family will deal with it...... You can retire. ”

"Yes."

Zheng Guozhong, Lin Zexu, and Yu Hui all stood up, each saluted the Empress Dowager Zheng, and then withdrew from Yuxi Palace together.

Watching the three of them leave, Empress Dowager Zheng looked at Zhuge Wei with affection and said, "Xiao Daozi, now I will write you Yizhi...... Natalie is yours! ”

Zhuge Weidao hurriedly bowed to the Empress Dowager Zheng: "Minister Zhuge thanked the Empress Dowager for her success!" ”

Empress Dowager Zheng's face sank, and she said angrily: "Why do you still call me the Empress Dowager?" ”

Zhuge hurriedly changed his words and said, "Little brother, thank you Sister Yuhuan." ”

"That's pretty much it," Empress Dowager Zheng smiled and said to the big eunuch Black Whirlwind who was waiting beside her, "Take the Four Treasures of the Study Room and the seal of the mourning family!" ”
