Chapter 47: Judgment

Catch yourself a little woman, where can you use the first military general in the capital to go out in person, and bring so many soldiers and horses to surround the entire Yellow Temple. Mo Jing's nerves were quite tenacious, and in this case, she was still quickly aware of the articles inside, especially Wu Dan also prepared a big sedan chair for her...... It's not like you're dealing with a criminal at all!

Gao Shiqi said that you would definitely ask that, and he guessed accurately! …… This time, Concubine Hui came out to make incense, I was ordered to escort me, but it wasn't specifically for you...... Catch you, just by the way. Wu Dan said.

"Concubine Hui?" Kangxi's Concubine Hui is Mingzhu's sister-in-law, the biological mother of the eldest brother Yinchu, since the queen Hesheli died in childbirth, in addition to Xiaozhuang in the harem, it can be said that her identity is the most valuable, Kangxi let Wu Dan personally come to protect it It is understandable, but Mo Jing always feels that there is something wrong here! …… Didn't Mingzhu just step down? And I heard that Concubine Hui is older than Kangxi, and she has long been unfavored, will Kangxi send Wu Dan, the first guard by his side, for her? And this time is also coincidental, but it is the same time as the time she and Gao Shiqi booked......

She couldn't figure it out!

But her instincts told her that it wasn't the worst yet!

*******

The sedan chair kept walking, and Mo Jing realized that sitting in a sedan chair was not a comfortable thing! Not to mention the swaying unsteady, all sides are blocked, you can't see the outside at all, you look up is a curtain, and the space is cramped...... It made her already choking even worse, but she couldn't make a choice.

……

After walking for a while, the sedan chair finally stopped, and Mo Jing walked out by himself without waiting for anyone to lift the sedan curtain.

Opposite is a lobby!

On the eaves in front of the lobby is a plaque.

After Mo Jing glanced at this plaque, his heart, which was still a little hopeful, completely cooled down, because the plaque read: "Shen Penal Division"!

"Gege, our adults are waiting for you, please." A white-faced and beardless Goshha walked up to Mo Jing and bowed down and said.

Mo Jing glanced at him, took a difficult step, and followed into the lobby of the Department of Punishment of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

"This official is ordered to ask the case, and there are no related people, etc., all of them are avoided!"

There was only one young official wearing a four-grade top in the lobby, and when he saw Mo Jing come in, he motioned to the Goshha who led the way for Mo Jing to move a chair for Mo Jing, and then let that Goshha retreat, and that Goshha also closed the door of the lobby by the way, so in the entire hall, only Mo Jing and the young official were left, of course, before coming here, the dangerous items on Mo Jing's body had been taken away.

"Mo Jing, you fornicated with Russia, which is a big crime, and you should be summoned to the three divisions for trial, but the emperor remembered that you had made great contributions to the country and were a woman, so he decided to be extraordinarily gracious, and only conduct a secret trial of you, and do not publicize this matter! Have you not thanked the Holy Grace? After there were only two people left in the lobby, the young official said to Mo Jing.

"Thank you?" Mo Jing sat on the chair and smiled hard, "Forget it, they all say that I am a traitor, what do I have to thank?" ”

"Bold!" The young official reprimanded, but did not insist on his point of view, but continued to ask, "Why did you write a letter to Na Fei Odoro privately and recruit him to my Great Qing?" ”

"I just wanted to do business, and I didn't expect Fei Yao Doro to come in person without replying to the letter! ……”

"Doing business? You are the lord of Doro, and you have your own money every year, why do you want to go to business, don't you know that the merchant is the last of the four people? If you do this, you will lose royal face! ”

"The end of the four peoples? I don't know, I just know that I am a little woman who grew up in a world where money worship prevails - I love money! I only know that the Apennine Peninsula, with its convenience on the edge of the Mediterranean, has almost become the richest country in Western Europe in business, and dozens of countries in Western Europe are coveted! …… I only know that the Netherlands once dominated the West in maritime business just by virtue of its small land near the sea! ……”

"Huh? ......" The young official scratched his head and glanced at Mo Yan suspiciously, "What Ya...... Pinnings? Also Henan? There is also Henan in the West? ”

"It's the Apennines, Holland!" Mo Jing corrected, "The Apennines is a boot-shaped peninsula, where Rome, the thousand-year-old empire of the West, originated; As for the Netherlands, well, the territory is probably not as big as Beijing, but this small country was once the most powerful of Western European powers, and they have colonies all over the world! ”

"......" The young official looked at Mo Jing for a while, did not say anything more, but continued to ask, "Why did you come to Beijing?" ”

"I'm afraid of death! I thought I could do business, but after thinking about it, I realized that I wrote to Na Fei Duoluo, and the old guy was still here, which would definitely make those guys who were all day long think crookedly, so I thought about it, so I had to go to Beijing first to explore the wind and see if I could take refuge in the showman's place. ……”

“…… The land of Manchuria is bitterly cold, the products are not abundant, and the road is inconvenient, what kind of business can you do? And how can you convince people that you are not fornicating with Russia? ”

"How do you say this? ......" Mo Jing thought for a moment, looked at the young official and asked, "Do you know how to do business?" ”

"Saints don't say anything! This official learns the way of Confucius and Mencius......"

"Don't beat around the bush, if you don't understand, just say it clearly, what else is the way of Confucius and Mencius? …… Since you don't understand, I'll tell you something simple. …… Do you know how much tax we can earn from customs every year? ”

"I don't know. …… However, there should be no less. But what does this have to do with the fact that you want to trade in Manchuria? ”

"Quite a few? Not bad, and quite a bit! But did you know that though, we're currently in a trade surplus......"

"Wait, this ...... What is a trade surplus? ”

"Well, a trade surplus...... It's that on the whole, our country is making money! ”

"That's it, you go on."

"......" glanced at the young official dissatisfied, and Mo Jing continued: "Although we are in a surplus position, but what we export is only a few luxury goods such as tea, silk, porcelain, etc., and most of the people who make money are transit merchants, tea farmers, weavers and potters do not earn much, and according to my observation, because my Qing Dynasty is agriculture-oriented, heavy agriculture and light business, so after these people make money, most of them do not go to expand their own business, but go home to buy land, peace of mind to be their own big landlords, big tycoons; Do you know? In this way, over time, our country will be in a serious polarization, land annexation will become more and more serious, and you know what the consequences of this phenomenon will be? ”

"......" The young official didn't answer, his face was solemn, and he fell into deep thought, and after a while, he asked Mo Jing again: "These are all you thought of?" ”

"Of course......" Just as Mo Jing was about to answer that she had thought of it, she saw it, and a stern light suddenly flashed in the young official's eyes, it was a warning, a serious warning! It's just that this kind of light is fleeting, so Mo Jing almost thinks that it is his own illusion!

"Of course what?" Seeing that Mo Jing paused, the young official asked again.

"Of course...... It's not what I thought, that's what Fei Lao mentioned to us when he wrote the letter. That's why I got the idea of making money from these guys. Mo Jing made an embarrassed and annoyed expression, as if blaming the young official for seeing through himself and failing to make himself a little limelight.

"You haven't said how you're going to do business with Oyi."

"Actually, what we plan is to recruit some European skilled workers through Russia, and make our own self-striking bells and glass mirrors, and we also want to build ships, because European shipping is developed, and their ships can cross the ocean, and Manchuria has many excellent seaports...... With a high-performance sea vessel, we can also carry out sea transportation, which can be transported from the south to the north and, of course, from the north to the south......"

"That's all?"

"That's all...... Actually, this is just a preliminary plan, after all, our business has not yet started......"

"What you say sounds good, but it doesn't prove that you didn't have a fornication." The young officer brought up the previous incident again.

"Fornication, it's ugly! Forget it, everything is up to you, anyway, I'm a prisoner, you can say whatever you want......" A few questions and answers, Mo Jing let go somehow, and his mood was not as nervous as when he first came in.

"You say the official is framing you?"

"That's not what I meant! It's just that you have already convicted me of my sin as soon as you came up, can I still plead my case? ”

"Who said you were convicted?"

"No?"

"This official is just asking about the case by order, and before the verdict, of course you are not guilty, otherwise, why can you 'sit' opposite this official?" A slight smile appeared on the corner of the young official's mouth.

“…… Yeah! Banzai! After being stunned, Mo Jing cheered!

"Smack!" The young official patted the shocked wood lightly, quieted Mo Jing, and continued: "Although the case has not yet been decided, you are still suspicious, so if you can't provide evidence that can prove your innocence, this official has no choice but to detain you first and wait for the Holy Lord's verdict." ”

"You want me to produce evidence right now? ......" Mo Jing's mood plummeted again, now staying here, what evidence can he come up with? Besides, how can I have any evidence to prove that I did not fornicate with the Russians?

"If not...... Come! The young official suddenly shouted out the door.

"What do you command?" The door to the lobby opened, and a team of goshkha broke in.

"Temporarily detain Mo Jing, the lord of Doro, and wait for the emperor's ruling!" The young official threw an arrow into the hall and said.

"Wow!"

"Hey......" Mo Jing called at the young official, but got no response, and then, looking at the strong guys around her, she had no choice but to follow out of the lobby obediently...... Looking at this sign, it doesn't seem to be bad to the end, so let's think about it first, and then talk about it.

And after seeing Mo Jing being taken out, the young official straightened his official uniform and walked into the back hall, where three people were sitting!

After he came over, he knelt down towards a person wearing a blue silk five-clawed dragon robe sitting in the middle, "Minister Zhang Tingyu has finished his questioning by order, and he hereby submits the order to the saint." ”

"Get up." Kangxi gestured slightly, asked Zhang Tingyu to get up and sit aside, and asked a guy with brown hair and blue eyes on the left, but wearing a third-grade official uniform: "Nan Aiqing, do you see if this Mo Jing came back from the West?" ”

"Holy Lord," replied Nan Huairen, who is also a missionary and a missionary, and said in a fluent Beijing dialect, "In the East, there are not many Dutch people who can know the Apennine Peninsula, but it is not nothing. There should be some people in the south who often do business with Westerners who know this, so this is not unusual! …… However, Chen is ninety percent sure that this Mo Jing has indeed returned from the West. ”

"Oh, how can you prove it?"

"Worship money! Your Majesty, money worship, this word is too vivid," Nan Huairen said solemnly: "These two words simply and clearly summarize the social characteristics of Europe in recent years, except for us missionaries who have traveled all over the world to spread the faith, almost all other Europeans, they are going to the ocean for money, even the royal family in the West, the same is true, money worship, this word is used too accurately." It is impossible to say such a word without truly understanding the desire for money in Europe. ”

"Nan-sama, is that enough?" On the right side of Kangxi, Gao Shiqi asked towards Nan Huairen.

"No, that's not all! Master Gao, the concept of Mo Jing and the concept of business, I have not encountered it for many years. Since I followed Father John Tong to the Qing Dynasty, for decades, I have not found any one who has ever had this kind of thought, many techniques are called 'miraculous skills' in the Qing Dynasty, and no one respects it, but this Mo Jing thought of importing technology and workers directly from Europe, which is by no means something that an educated person in the Qing Dynasty could think of, and likewise, it was never something that an educated person in the Qing Dynasty dared to do...... Moreover, the trade surplus she refers to is obviously a special noun, which cannot be found in the East, but can only come from the West. …… It's not that the Easterners aren't smart enough to come up with such words, but ...... Orientals don't put their minds to this. Nan Huairen said.

"Tingyu, you are the chief judge, what do you think of this Mo Yan?" After a pause, Kangxi asked Zhang Tingyu again.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Tingyu's buttocks were just a little touched by the edge of the chair, and when he heard Kangxi's question, he bowed slightly, and replied: "The minister thinks that compared to Ferdinand, Mo Yan is smart and exposed, and his personality is more straightforward. ”

"And this woman is also more impatient and can't hold her breath." Gao Shiqi smiled again and said to Kangxi: "Now the ministers have some regrets, and they regret that they should tell the emperor about her coming to Beijing in a hurry,...... This seems to be a young man who is not calm enough. ”

"I think you're saying nice things about this woman." Kangxi smiled and said: "That's it, since my two ministers in the study have said this, I can't refute your face, and I can't let you Gao Shiqi bear a trustworthy name, Tingyu, let people send this Mo Jing to Baori Longmei later, so as not to let Ah Xiu know that I am difficult for her sister in the future, and show me a face!" ……”

"Obey." Zhang Tingyu bowed and replied.

"The emperor is merciful! May the Lord bless you! Nan Huairen drew a cross on his chest and said.

"I'm not merciful, in a few days the Russian envoy will come, but there are only three people in the court who can interpret the Russian language, one is old, one is worried, and one resigned I don't know where to go, I can't find a missionary to be the translator, right? So where is my Qing face? Kangxi said with a smile, but while saying this, his eyes were also telling several courtiers that he still had something to say.

"Your Majesty, as far as the ministers know, there don't seem to be any Russian-speaking missionaries in the capital." Nan Huairen smiled.

"It's a good move, it seems that we all underestimate this little woman!" Gao Shiqi said.

"I don't think that's what Mo Yan thought of! ......" Zhang Tingyu muttered: "Didn't Mo Jing come to the capital with the Russian mission to Fengtian?" In this, it may not be someone else's guidance. ”

"Is that Ferdinand?" Kangxi asked.

"Your Majesty, great talent is not obvious, it is not said that there is no talent, the name of Ferdinand, if there is no deliberate attack by Prince Jane Lebto, how can the emperor care? And by the time the emperor notices him, I'm afraid Manchuria will already be full of rice! Zhang Tingyu said.

"Well, that's right! …… Ferdinand! …… Tingyu: Do you think this person has 'great talent'? Kangxi asked.

"I don't know! It's just, minister...... Can't see through that man! Zhang Tingyu said in a deep voice.
