"I heard that I offended the wise king. He was beaten badly in the military camp a few days ago. Now he is using the waste. Anyway, don't be too kind. This kind of Western devil deserves it!"
Qin Song chuckled: "Yes, you deserve it!"
That man was Bob. He had been working as a sandbag in the military camp for some days, and the sergeants were tired of it. Just as the military camp was expanding its space, they put him to work on the construction site.
Qin Song had been observing this person and always felt that this person was different. However, he did not understand the language and was afraid of being discovered, so he did not contact him rashly.
However, after listening to other people's discussions in private and his intentional or unintentional clichés, he came to the conclusion that this person must have a good background.
If possible, after rescuing Liu Mei, he wouldn't mind rescuing this ghost guy as well.
Huang Xiao's enemies are friends, whether they are Chinese or not!
"Everyone, please work harder. I invited Brother Wu here today. He is a capable person among our craftsmen. He has participated in the Tianji Conference. Well done. I will ask Brother Wu to tell you about the conference. How about it?"
"Okay! That's good!"
"Manager Wang, will this violate discipline?"
Manager Wang shook his head: "No, Sister-in-law Liu asked the young master for permission, and the young master said it can be discussed, so don't worry, everyone!"
There was a look of longing in Qin Song's eyes. He had heard a lot about the Tianji Conference in the past few days. Now that he had the opportunity to hear it again, he felt that he was very motivated.
…
Since Huang Xiao organized this Tianji Conference with great fanfare, he had no intention of keeping it secret. It was inevitable that it would be leaked, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
At the airport, the Shenlong has been pushed out.
This was the first official appearance of the Shenlong, which immediately amazed Zhu Youxiao and everyone!
The golden five-clawed divine dragon is bright in color and lifelike, as if it is about to burst out of the machine and fly into the sky.
Gorgeous with endless majesty, showing the emperor's domineering power!
Zhu Youxiao walked around and saw a dragon with a different look on the other side, but it was moving clouds and spreading rain. The meaning was clear at a glance.
"Brother, is this my car?"
"It's really what I want! Haha, I can't wait!"
Zhu Youxiao talked excitedly.
Huang Xiao smiled slightly: "Brother, wait a moment, there is still one person who has not arrived yet. We can set off after the soldiers deliver the treasure notes."
Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile and walked forward, watching with interest as the soldiers loaded treasure notes and silver coins into the cabin.
Huang Xiao turned back to look at Shi Kefa: "Xianzhi just went to see Liu Mei?"
Shi Kefa blushed slightly and nodded.
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "According to the head of Cuihua Village, Liu Mei has a good attitude and works hard without complaining. I believe that given time, she will be able to change her ways and be a new person. By then, you and Liu Mei will also be able to make a good story!"
Shi Kefa looked at Huang Xiao gratefully: "Both Xianzhi and Liu Mei are grateful for the kindness of the prince and the empress. If they hadn't kept their differences, how could Liu Mei be where she is today? Liu Mei was also extremely grateful for this. She swore in front of me many times. He said, you must work hard to atone for your previous mistakes!"
Huang Xiao smiled and nodded: "I learned from the secret that you are a heroic figure in the Ming Dynasty. In the process of resisting the slave establishment, you demonstrated the noble integrity of China. Only in this way can I look at you differently. However, Xianzhi also You have lived up to my expectations, you are a decent man, you are not arrogant or impetuous in your duties, and you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"
Shi Kefa was trembling with excitement!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling me. Xianzhi will continue to work hard and devote himself to the country! In addition, my master Zuo Gong has been depressed since he learned about the secret of heaven. Your Majesty, can you tell me something?"
Huang Xiao smiled and nodded: "Then I'll talk to you, and you can just bring a message to the commander later!"
Shi Kefa was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youxiao turned back and asked with a smile: "Xianzhi, dear brother, what are you talking about?"
Huang Xiao said simply.
Principal Zhu You sighed: "Let me tell you about this matter. Fortunately, I have a good brother! Otherwise, how many pillars of our Ming Dynasty will be lost? Every time I think of this, I feel sad and sad. So ashamed!”
"My dear brother, you have left too many loyal ministers and martyrs for our Ming Dynasty. I thank you very much!"
Huang Xiao smiled and did not answer.
Zhu Youxiao's imperial history Kefa said: "Since the rise of the Donglin Party, a huge force has formed in the court. Among them are upright and honest ministers such as Lingshi and Yang Yushi. Their original intention is to follow their methods. Govern the world and benefit all people!"
"However, most of them are just talking about it, just for their own personal reputation and interests. They have an attitude of opposition to all those with different political opinions, whether right or wrong. Even my will is often unable to get out of the court. In the long run, , the country will be defeated by the general!"
"I had just ascended the throne at that time, and I was still very young, and the Donglin Party had made great contributions during my ascension to the throne. As a prince in his teens, I had only been the crown prince for less than a month and suddenly ascended the throne as the emperor. With no governance experience, we have to reuse Donglin Party members.”
"When I gradually began to take charge of the government and wanted to make a difference, I found that there was no room for me to perform in the court. At the suggestion of Chief Assistant Ye Xianggao, I took back the mine supervisor sent by Wanli Ye and It was re-sold by the court to replenish the national treasury.
However, contrary to expectations, the mineral deposits were sold, but the proceeds were very small. Later I found out that most of these mines were obtained by courtiers. They either asked their clan members to come forward or had others replace them. In short, these mineral deposits were all cheap. Sold out.
Although I knew it well, at that time, the Donglin Party was in full swing, so what could I do?
In the first year of the Apocalypse, disasters continued throughout the Ming Dynasty. The following year, the White Lotus Rebellion broke out in Shandong, and a large number of miners revolted. This incident was also due to the excessive exploitation of the miners by these officials and gentry.
I had the intention to reduce the three rates and collect taxes from mining merchants and others. I took great pains to set the tax rate. However, this purpose of benefiting the country and the people was finally abandoned due to the strong opposition of the courtiers. Ha! To put it in a beautiful name, you cannot compete with the people for profit! "
"Who are these people? I know very well that these people are inextricably related to the courtiers. They talk about serving the country and the people, but in private... If this continues, the people will become more and more miserable, and These courtiers are getting fatter and fatter!"
"I couldn't tolerate this situation, so I re-appointed Wei Zhongxian and made him a eunuch in the court to check and balance the Donglin Party, and to investigate Ye Xianggao. For this reason, Ye Xianggao stepped down and investigated and punished He recruited a group of courtiers, confiscated many mineral deposits, and filled the national treasury a lot."
"However, most of the ministers who were promoted later were still members of the Donglin Party. I had no choice but to continue to give Wei Zhongxian power, and even gave Wei Zhongxian the honorific title of Nine Thousand Years Old."
"There is nothing I can do about it. Only after the rise of the Eunuch Party did I have room to display myself. The court also maintained a certain balance. The treasury has never been empty again, and since the White Lotus Sect, there has never been a big one." Civil unrest.”
When Zhu Youxiao said this, he sighed and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"My dear brother, Xianzhi, I have made you laugh. In fact, I can be regarded as a faint king and an incompetent king. I am determined to innovate, but I still make a mess."
"If my dear brother hadn't come here this year, my master and several others would have died in the feud between the court and the court two months ago."
Shi Kefa remained silent.
He thought: "No wonder my mentor and others did not perform well when the Ming Dynasty fell. It turns out that they were killed this year! The wise king can be said to have saved his life."
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "Brother, don't mention the past anymore. You have done well, and you will do even better in the future. Thousands of years later, no one will say that you are a fool. Now the cabinet is in name only, and all political affairs , Big brother has made a decision! I will never make the same mistake again!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Yes, since I had a good brother, I found it interesting to be an emperor! It will never be the same as before. Everything has to be like selling goods in a market, arguing back and forth! In the past, , I was really powerless and upset, so I had to hide and indulge in woodcraft!"
Huang Xiao also laughed: "At least in your lifetime and mine, it's best to have an agreement. No matter what, our methods and vision must surpass the vast majority of people."
Zhu Youxiao smiled sheepishly: "Brother Xian, I have too much free time to recuperate, so I like to think wildly. Now when I have free time, I talk non-stop, making my brother laugh."
Huang Xiao smiled and said, "Brother is always reflecting on things. This is a good thing. The sages have said: Examine yourself three times and seek others for yourself. Brother has long been on the right path of a wise king."
