At the same time, Zhao Xin, who returned to the cabin, was brushing his teeth while recalling the "story" told by Ye Zhanrong.
The style of the phoenix hairpin is fine, and the workmanship cannot be imitated by ordinary craftsmen. When he went to the imperial court before getting married to Shen Xuan, he checked the jewelry of the princess of the Ming Dynasty. Director Liu Da also wanted to find someone to order two hairpins, but the results were far worse than the real thing.
So the question now is, what does Ye Zhanrong want to do?
Deng Fei told him that Ye Zhanrong wanted to avenge his eldest son's family. Then what? The longer Zhao Xin stayed in the eighteenth century, the less he dared to look down on the ancients. Putting aside the little difference in knowledge, no one is any worse than the other in terms of being smart and clever.
Zhao Xin still doesn't know how He Shen recognized him during the negotiations at Chaoyin Temple last year. Jiang Fan later said that he had the aura of a domineering king, and he naturally stood out among the crowd, which was different from ordinary people.
Only the turtle exudes the spirit of a bastard! When it comes to being domineering, Liu Sheng is said to be the second among the Chuanli people in Beihai Town, but no one dares to say he is the first.
In fact, in the past six years, Zhao Xin would feel elated every time after leading his troops to victory, and his inner desires would expand each time. However, when he returned to another time and space, the modern environment kept reminding him that he was just an ordinary person with some luck, a lonely man with few friends.
Ye Zhanrong is a businessman. Like Shen Jingdan, maximizing profits is the motivation for them to abandon their families and careers and take risks. Twenty fishing boats were collected from Hoi An. Such a big movement corresponded to the boats used by the North Korean navy to attack Hue. Afterwards, the Tay Son government found out.
After brushing his teeth, Zhao Xin lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. Now he assumed that he was really the last king of Zhao, so what should he do after learning about the relationship between the ancestor of the Ye family and Princess Zhao?
The golden hairpin is not a jade certificate. It is useless for verifying identity. The so-called jade certificate is actually a family tree. For those who are ambitious and want to be the emperor, the phoenix hairpin can be considered as circumstantial evidence; but for Zhao Xin, the old and cunning guy Ye Zhanrong made a wrong calculation.
Almost at that moment, Zhao Xin even had the idea of "killing people and silencing them." But then he thought it was ridiculous. This was a cover-up. There is no airtight wall in the world. When did I start treating human life as nothing?
Forget it, let him be. Before entering the customs, Beihai Town's system must be clarified, and people can no longer misunderstand it under the banner of being clear.
While thinking wildly, Zhao Xin fell into a deep sleep.
After waking up and having breakfast the next day, Zhao Xin summoned Deng Fei, Wang Yuanfang and Hong Tao for a meeting to discuss the next strategy for Annan.
When Zhao Xinyi came up, he first proposed a solution to get back Dong Deng and Lang Son, and also told what he knew about Ruan Fuying. The other three people agreed.
Specifically, on the condition of assisting Nguyen Phuc Anh in Quang Nam to conquer Binh Thuan and Qui Nhon, Beihai Town was allowed to recruit troops in Hoi An, and the source of troops was found from the group of Minh Huong Society. In fact, Binh Thuan and Quy Nhon areas are not currently controlled by Nguyen Quang Binh, but are managed by his eldest brother Nguyen Van Ngoc. The "Taishan Regime" in history actually refers to the three brothers of the Ruan family. The first emperor of the Western Son Dynasty was not Ruan Guangping, but Ruan Wenyue.
Four years ago, Nguyen Wen Yue was proclaimed the Central Emperor in Quy Nhon, and his second brother Ruan Wenlu was named King of Dongding, with jurisdiction over Jiading; his third brother Ruan Guangping was named King of Beiping, stationed in Fuchun. The three brothers each occupy a piece of territory and rule it by partition.
However, not long after, internal strife broke out between Ruan Wenyue and Ruan Guangping. Ruan Wenyue was debauched and cruel, and even spared the wives and concubines of his third brother Ruan Guangping. The two sides also divided the spoils unevenly in carving up the treasures of Lord Zheng in the north and the land in Guangnan, and finally met in war.
Ruan Wenyue could not defeat his younger brother at all, but Ruan Guangping did not continue to attack Qui Nhon fortress because he was his eldest brother. The two sides finally took Ban Jin as their boundary, with Nguyen Van Nguyen to the south and Nguyen Hue to the north of Sheng Hua and Dien Phan, each of them had their own affairs.
In fact, the real culprit of the "Jiading Massacre" was not only Ruan Guangping, but Ruan Wenyue was also one of them.
Zhao Xin finally reminded the three of them: "The troops in Hoi An must be in our own hands, and Nguyen Phuc Anh must not be allowed to get involved. However, Ruan Phuc Anh's strength is also bad. According to the information, the French have given ships and ships He helped train tens of thousands of people, but he actually fought with Er Ruan for several years."
Hong Tao interrupted: "This shows that the French in this era are not very good!"
The other three people all laughed after hearing this.
Zhao Xin continued: "As for Luzon and Java, my opinion is to deal with the Dutch in Batavia first, and then the Spanish in Manila. There are two purposes: first, to declare the strength of Beihai Town and let those Westerners No matter whether it is the indigenous people, they will never dare to take advantage of the Chinese again. In addition to a public apology, they must pay compensation!"
"Completely agree!" Hong Tao slapped the table and shouted: "If you don't agree, fire! Bloodbath Batavia and Manila!"
"Haha," Zhao Xin continued: "The second thing is to clarify the ownership of Mindanao, especially the south."
Hong Tao blinked, looked at Zhao Xinda and said, "Prince Zhao, you are not eyeing the gold mine again, are you? Are you done yet? Do you plan to take all the big gold mines in the world into your pocket? "
Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and said: "Doctor Hong, do you know how much the steel plant we built in Khabarovsk cost? Eight tons of gold, at least! Besides, the area under the jurisdiction of Beihai Town is not rich in copper mines. The copper mine on Mindanao Island But we are ranked sixth in the world and first in Asia!”
"Okay, you succeeded in convincing me again." Hong Tao spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.
Deng Fei said at this time: "Is there anything else besides these? I remember you said you wanted to cause trouble for the British?"
"Yes. Thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot to say it." Zhao Xindao: "After you are done with Luzon, if you still have energy, you can stop by and visit the East India Company in Bangladesh. If there are more opium transporters to Guangzhou, , as long as it is a British merchant ship, you will see one ship being sunk and the other being sunk."
Wang Yuanfang and Deng Fei looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "You really think of us as donkeys! I estimate that this trip will not be completed in a few months."
"I really want to trade with you. How about you go to Siberia?"
"No! The south is great. You are the worst at Russian among us, but I am not."
"That's right." Zhao Xin said to Deng Fei again: "Old Deng, your French is strong, so you can deal with the French people on Ruan Phuc Anh's side. Be careful of that priest named Peter. Catholicism has stretched its hand too far in Annan, Ruan Phuc Anh. He was the one who brokered the treaty signed with the French government. What was ceded in it were Hoi An and Con Dao Island. Both of these are currently under our control, especially Con Dao Island, which is closest to Malacca. I am considering using it as a north-south route in the future. The first link.”
"North-South route?" Hong Tao asked, "Are you planning to go directly to Beihai Town?"
"Yes, it was like this before entering the customs." After Zhao Xin said that, he drew a schematic diagram on the whiteboard on the wall. "Bukhae Town, Jeju Island, Southern Kyushu, Sento Islands, Luzon, Hoi An, Con Dao, Malacca, Batavia, Mindanao."
"Good guy," Hong Tao took a breath and said, "You are so ambitious! You might as well occupy Australia and go straight to the Antarctic."
"Stop it, this is not something to consider in the eighteenth century. Besides..."
Just as Zhao Xin was about to continue speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room, and then a confidential officer from the Thor hurriedly walked in and handed a telegram into Zhao Xin's hands. Zhao Xinkai took a look, frowned slightly, and then his expression returned to normal.
Deng Fei asked: "Is there a situation?"
"No. Little things."
Zhao Xin did not say the content of the telegram, but put the message paper into his trouser pocket, then tapped the whiteboard with the pen in his hand and continued: "Now there are more people in Guangdong and less land, and the people are struggling to survive, forcing them to go to sea to make a living. To keep it a secret, except for you three, only a few people know about this, but the inventory of silver ingots in Beihai Town now exceeds three million taels."
Deng Fei, Wang Yuanfang and Hong Tao were surprised: "So much! Did your father-in-law earn it from the Manchus?"
Zhao Xin rolled his eyes and said: "The profits of the Ministry of Trade are not that high. Some of this silver is a by-product of gold mining, as well as captured on the battlefield. Finally, it is purified from the bean plate silver extracted from the island country using North Sea coins. . I have calculated that if all of them were cast into Beihai Yuan, it would be a little over 3.67 million."
Hong Tao suddenly pointed at Zhao Xin and said: "Oh~~! I remember, when you created new money, you said you would use our money to arbitrage the island country's silver. How long have you been doing this?"
Zhao Xin nodded and smiled: "More than two years."
"Haha, why do I feel so happy?!" Hong Tao banged the table twice happily, and then asked: "How much did you earn?"
"As of the end of last month, eight hundred and eighty-three thousand and one taels. Both gold and silver."
In fact, during the few years that Pingtai was in the island country, Zhao Xin, in addition to asking him to cut off the "Eternal Generation" step by step and collect information about the shogunate and various vassals, his main job was to open up the business circles of Osaka, Nagasaki and Kyoto with Beihai coins. Large-amount exchange channels in China.
Since the armistice agreement signed between Hokkai Town and the shogunate the year before last, a large number of Hokkai Genwa coins have flowed into the island country from Sendai Domain and Minami Kyushu openly. In order to extract the silver and gold coins on the market in the island country, Beihai Town even created "cent coins"; a 50-cent coin was equivalent to 2 cents of silver in the island country, and a 5-cent coin was equivalent to two cents of silver.
Since Haizhen's coinage materials include copper-aluminum alloy for dimes and aluminum-magnesium alloy for cents, they look shiny. In addition, copper and aluminum alloys will turn black due to oxidation, which makes many islanders think that the silver coins in Beihai Town contain silver.
Zhao Xin finally told the three of them: "After you arrive in Hoi'an, ask Ye Chengxiang to take Zheng Lianchang's people to Siam to buy thirty more Guangzhou ships with thousands of materials. We will set up another 'Nanhai Trading Company'. We will occupy 51%, and let Zheng Lianchang and the Ye family participate in the rest. From now on, we will send people from Guangdong to Nanyang for free. In addition to farming, we will also open rubber farms as soon as possible, and then transport Nanyang products to Hoi An or Ryukyu."
Deng Fei nodded in approval: "I agree! No one can be faster than our fleet of motors and sailboats and transport more cargo. When the clipper ships are built next year, Beihai Town will have the final say in sea trade in Southeast Asia!"
This closed-door meeting, which will determine the situation in South Asia for more than a hundred years in the future, lasted from morning to noon. The fate of countless people was rewritten in this conference room on the Thor, including the families of He Xiwen and Ye Zhanrong. .
"What? King Zhao is gone!"
In the evening, Ye Zhanrong and his son boarded the Thor again to ask for Zhao Xin, but Deng Fei informed him that "King Zhao" had already left by boat in the afternoon.
Looking at the disappointed expressions of the Ye family and his son, Deng Fei felt a little funny, but he still said seriously: "Just in time, I also have something to ask you two. The thing is like this..."
When Ye Zhanrong, who had some plans, heard about the recruitment of soldiers, the purchase of ships, and the "Nanhai Trading Company", his anxious heart finally fell into his stomach. Now he finally embraced Beihai Town, and the prosperity of his family business was just around the corner.
Another day later, when He Xiwen completed the "scraping three feet" operation against the Royal Palace in Hue, the joint fleet of the North Navy and He Xiwen left Hue and headed south. Their next stop was Hoi An.
Vu Van Dung, Nguyen Van Hoa and others who retreated to Xiangxiang County received news from sentinels and confirmed that the North Navy had left, and then they couldn't wait to send troops northward. However, what awaited them was the palace that had been ransacked by the pirates.
...
At dusk, in the hospital located on the west side of the central square of Beihai Town, a graceful girl carefully carried a three-layer "Baobao embedded" food box to the door of a room. She knocked lightly on the door twice and heard someone in the room say: "Come in."
The girl opened the door and walked into the room. She saw the man sitting on the bed with pillows behind him, holding a thick book in his hand and spreading it on the quilt. The girl frowned slightly, then said softly, "Miss Wang, I've brought you dinner."
Wang Zhenyi, who was on the hospital bed, smiled and said, "Miss A Miao, thank Madam for my trouble."
A Miao walked straight to the bed, placed the food box on the small table, picked up a folding wooden table from the side, opened it and placed it in front of Wang Zhenyi, and then took out the contents of the food box one by one.
"This is river fish sent from Khabarovsk. The meat is the most tender in winter. The teacher said, Miss Wang, you can't eat greasy fish, but you can eat more fish. This is yuba mixed with celery, and this is steamed with crab legs. Egg custard, this is multigrain porridge..."
The "teacher" A Miao refers to is Hong Tao's wife, Director Liu Da. A few years ago, A Miao worked as an apprentice with Liu Siting for two years. As a result, the little girl became a little depressed because she often couldn't see Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin felt a little distressed when he saw her, so he asked A Miao to stop being a nurse, and then stayed with her.
Wang Zhenyi was a bit big-headed. She looked at the small table full of food and smiled bitterly: "How can I eat so much? Why don't you eat with me?"
A Miao smiled and said: "I ate everything before I came out. You should eat a little of everything. The teacher said you should supplement your nutrition and get enough rest, so that you can recover quickly."
After she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, then plucked up her courage and said, "Miss Wang, don't be angry about something. I, I sent him a telegram the day before yesterday."
When Wang Zhenyi heard this, her hand holding the porridge bowl paused for a moment. She turned her head and looked out the window. Through the gap between the curtains and the edge of the window, all she could see was the whistling heavy snow in the sky. She showed a wry smile and murmured: "It's too far away. Even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to come back."
A Miao blinked after hearing this and said to her heart that you really don’t understand him!
After Wang Zhenyi slowly drank half the bowl of porridge and took a few bites of vegetables, she couldn't eat anymore. Seeing that A Miao lost her temper, she had no choice but to put her things away and chatted with her again, the content of which mainly revolved around Zhao Xin's son.
"...A few days ago, Miss Tang came over to teach me about female beauty. Momo happened to see me when he walked in. Okay, he wandered over and hugged Miss Tang's legs, just, haha Haha~"
Wang Zhenyi asked curiously: "What's going on? You should tell me."
A Miao covered her mouth and said: "He hugged Miss Tang's legs and called her mother, which made Miss Tang extremely embarrassed. Madam also angrily called him a white-eyed wolf. In the end, Momo actually grinned stupidly and was so happy for me. ”
Wang Zhenyi also smiled with her lips pursed after hearing this, but then she felt sad again in her heart. When she was hospitalized due to exhaustion, Wu Xianning checked her carefully and told her to take good care of herself this time, otherwise, even if she gets married in the future, it will be very difficult for her to have children.
Wang Zhenyi had practiced medicine with her father Wang Xichen for many years, and she knew some medical skills. When she found out what disease she had, she realized that Wu Xianning's words were just comfort.
Ever since she had skin-to-skin contact with that person on that snowy day at the beach, Wang Zhenyi even thought that after she studied with Lao You for another two years, she would get married and become a woman, even if she was a concubine. But now this disease has made all wishes come to nothing...
At 8 o'clock in the evening, A Miao went back. Wang Zhenyi just continued to read for a while when the nurse outside turned off the lights. In desperation, Wang Zhenyi had no choice but to lie on the bed and think about it, including mathematics and the scene of riding a horse outside the barrier and shooting a halberd from a corner, during which the figure of that person flashed across his mind.
At this time, in the study room of Wu Xianning's home, Zhao Xin, who had just come back to Beihai Town, asked eagerly: "What is her disease?"
"Congenital heart disease." Wu Xianning heard this word from Liu Siting. "I'm afraid my descendants will..."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Xin. As a relative of Shen Xuan's adoptive mother, Wu Xianning thought that in the past two years, there had been rumors that King Zhao and Wang Zhenyi had something to do with each other. Today, it seems that it is indeed the case.
The problem is that you, King Zhao, personally made the rule that you cannot take concubines in Beihai Town. I want to see what you do. If you really want to get out of the outer room, your colleague Wang Xichen, who is in charge of the imaging department, will definitely hunt you down all over the world.
Zhao Xin left Wu's house expressionlessly and returned to his home despite the heavy snow. His sudden appearance surprised everyone in the family except A Miao. After chatting with his parents and teasing his son for a long time, Zhao Xin felt a little hungry.
While eating, Shen Xuan, who was sitting next to her, suddenly whispered: "Miss Wang is sick. You'd better take the time to check on her tomorrow."
Zhao Xin's heart skipped a beat and he glanced sideways at Shen Xuan. Seeing the calm look on the other person's face, he replied "Oh."
