When the train panted and stopped on a platform at Beijing Xizhimen Railway Station, Zhuge Weidao suddenly found that he had become a big shot!
Because the platform where the carriage he was sitting on was guarded by armed guards, and there were two Zhuge with feather fans and turbans on the platform. One of them was the right prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Zhuge Weijiu, who was sitting next to him. Shake a fan on the Taishi chair. The other one was Zhuge Yangming, the number one tycoon in "Shanghai". He was standing next to Zhuge Weijiu waving a fan. When he saw the train stopped, he smiled and called Zhuge Weixue, who was standing aside, to go to the door of the carriage together. walk over.
Zhuge Weidao quickly stood up and got out of his box. Under the watchful eyes of Wang Wen, Yu De, Yu Yang, Ye Wu, Ma Xuchen, Ling Zongjun, Li Kezhi and other young men, he walked swaggering towards the door of the carriage.
These nine people, plus Guo Xiaobao and He Tianran, are now all Zhuge Weidao's die-hards and brothers-in-law - they all have Nalandili's half-sisters, so they and Zhuge Weidao are " "Brother-in-law", closer than real brothers!
In addition, thanks to the light of this "Daoguang Printing", several people who followed Zhuge Weidao to the Kingdom of Jin all made meritorious deeds!
Five of them, including Wang Wen, Ye Wu, Ma Xuchen, Ling Zongjun, and Li Kezhi, were all military officers. They all contributed to the promotion of "Daoguang Printing". They also participated in the military operation of airborne Peshawar, and even directly participated in the battle (bombing and strafing). ). In the new Ming Dynasty army where "the five elements lack merit", they are all promising, and they are still young and promising... I really have a good boss, and I have a fairy and a bright future!
There were more than five officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the navy who benefited from this "Daoguang Printing". Everyone involved, no matter the officers or soldiers, would inevitably benefit from it. This is a huge wealth effect, and I believe it can inspire a warlike atmosphere in the army.
As for the great steward Yu De, although he was a scholar and could not achieve military success, Zhuge Weidao also arranged a way for him to rise. This time he went to the Kingdom of Jin as a civil servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A minor hero, and a "witness of history" with official endorsement.
He is also good at writing and editing. As long as he writes about "Daoguang Printing" as a "personal experience", the peace-loving people of the Ming Dynasty will surely know that "Great Britain is nothing more than that" and "Fairies are so beautiful." ! The former can eliminate people's fear of war, and the latter can stimulate people's feelings of imperialism - the benefits of dominating the world to the middle and lower classes, in addition to getting a higher income than most foreigners, is this "fairy" ! The middle and lower classes of the Ming Empire have actually enjoyed this a little bit now, but it is not as good as what the poor old white man in another timeline got in Southeast Asian countries...
This is also one of the reasons why Zhuge Weidao agreed to let the Yingxian Temple come to Beijing to open the Branch Temple. People in the middle and lower classes must know how good the fairies are! Otherwise, their enthusiasm for supporting Ming imperialism would not be high.
Zhuge Weidao estimated that Yu De's "personal experience" will be a big seller. When the book is published, he will be "Yu Dashen". When the time comes, he will be funded to run a newspaper specifically to represent the Ming imperialism. Advocate.
Zhuge Weidao walked out of the carriage and saw Zhuge Weijiu. He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Great Military Advisor, why are you here in person?"
Zhuge Weijiu smiled and stretched out his hand to help Zhuge Weidao, and said with a smile: "One Hundred and Eighth Brother, you are not only a member of the military division, but also a hero of my Ming Dynasty. Of course, Brother Yu will welcome you personally... ..The achievements you have made in the Great Jin Kingdom and Peshawar have already surpassed those of my father!"
Zhuge Weijiu said these words in public, and he deliberately raised his voice. This also disclosed Zhuge Weidao's identity as military advisor, and also announced that Zhuge Weidao had changed from a candidate military advisor to a formal military advisor. Although "strategist" was only the title of a core member of the Zhuge family, the Zhuge family had far more power in the Ming Dynasty. Far more than the Zhu family royal family, the Zhuge family's military advisors are almost equivalent to political kings!
"Congratulations to the 18th Military Advisor!"
"Congratulations to the Eighteenth Army Commander!"
Hearing Zhuge Weijiu's words, the train platform burst into cheers.
Zhuge Weidao quickly clasped his fists and saluted everyone. After he finished the salute, Zhuge Weidao took his hand and walked towards the exit of the train station together. They walked through the VIP aisle, and a large group of people followed them and walked out together. At the exit of the VIP passage, a row of four-wheeled carriages was already waiting there.
Zhuge Weidao did not get into his own carriage, but asked Zhuge Weijiu to pull him into a large carriage that looked very plain and without any decoration - this was Zhuge Weijiu's carriage, just an ordinary carriage. , pulled by a few ordinary horses.
This is the style of the Zhuge family, low-key! Even if the palace at home is as big as anything, I still wear old clothes and an old carriage when I go out. I wish I could put a few patches on my good clothes.
Zhuge Weixue and Zhuge Yangming also got into the car, and the three of them walked together to the Zhuge family's villa area in Xishan.
...
"Brother 108, you are now an official member of the military division." When the carriage started running on the road, Zhuge Weijiu shook his feather fan and talked about business with Zhuge Weidao, "Twenty-six-six-year-old military advisor... Hehe, everyone is paying attention! Originally, I wanted you to hide it for a while, but now things have changed. The conflict between us and Great Britain may break out at any time. We need to deal with Japan. Powder keg, so you must go to Japan as a military advisor."
Zhuge Yangming asked from the side: "Brother 108, do you know what the status of Japan has been for a long time?"
"I know," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "Japan is the sewer of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Hahaha, this metaphor is really vivid," Zhuge Yangming said with a smile, "Japan does have such a status... But this is not deliberately arranged by us, it is Japan's own development. Although There are many people in Japan who are unwilling to accept the country's degradation and want to compete with our Ming Dynasty. However, the country's fortunes are not good, so in the end they picked up the business of Nanyang sisters, Oriental maids, and Oriental wives. But they did a good job indeed!"
Zhuge Yangming is not a "refined Japanese". He is praised by Japan for everything. He seeks truth from facts. Japan has indeed made the business of "Nanyang sisters, Oriental maids, and Oriental wives" flourish. It is not rough experience, but intensive cultivation, giving full play to the spirit of craftsmanship, and developing different "products" for different needs. Not only does it provide "physical" services, but also various performances, photos, illustrations... and recently it is also developing the film market.
Even Zhuge Weidao himself became a service target of "Oriental maids and Oriental wives" early on. His maid Ah Li was an Oriental maid. She was "acquired" by a branch of the Dahei family from somewhere and raised to She was sold to the Zhuge family at the age of five, and then people from the Zhuge family (old Japanese maids) conducted various training, training and brainwashing on her. And Daikokukora is actually an "Oriental wife", but she is not used to sell money, but to make friends. She is considered the best among Oriental wives... This is no wonder that the original Zhuge Weidao I fell in love with Daheikong at first glance.
Zhuge Weijiu nodded and said: "But whoever thinks that Japan only has these things is completely wrong... Their ambitions are not small, and their population is large enough, their brains are not stupid, and they are particularly able to endure hardships." , it’s just that we were born on a few broken islands and couldn’t get industrialized resources.”
In fact, Japan is not completely without the resources needed for industrialization. For example, Ezo has some coal mine resources. However, because Ming Dynasty has a Kushiro base in Ezo (below the Kushiro base is a coal mine), Japan is worried that Ming Dynasty will further annex Ezo. , so there is no exploration in Ezo, so we don’t know what resources there are.
Zhuge Weijiu considered for a long time and said: "But now we have to compete with the British for the world... No matter how ambitious Japan is, it will never be bigger than the British and foreigners, so we can inject some blood into their industry. But we We cannot give blood in vain, let alone allow them to take advantage and stay out of it... We must firmly control Japan, do you know what to do?"
