Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 254

Bai Mingxiu has no way of knowing what kind of hole the black-bellied system has dug for him in this main task, but Bai Mingxiu is ready to be tricked.

The reason why he wants to fill up 60 troops at one go and create an extremely wealthy standing army of Ming Dynasty is because Bai Mingxiu knows that if he wins this game with the system, he will have a lot of benefits. In this era, gold and silver are the actual currency , there is no need to consider the issue of inflation, because he can even artificially strengthen the manufacturing capacity to digest inflation by creating social wealth and consumption.A thousand tons of gold, tens of millions of gold finger coins, these things are enough for him to accommodate a larger army.Therefore, Bai Mingxiu simply started to build a larger Ming army, with the goal of starting a global strategy.

Once Bai Mingxiu fails in this mission, although he will not be sentenced to death all at once, the terrible consequences of mission failure will be disastrous for this country, and it may take hundreds of years to recover its vitality again.

After the National Defense Conference, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jian Guo basically did not reach much consensus with his military ministers and generals. Opposition opinions among the military are still very strong, but they have to accept the order of the king.

After leaving the National Restoration Army Building, Bai Mingxiu found a nearby restaurant to eat.Today's Shanghai is becoming more and more prosperous. Due to the concentration of a large number of commercial activities and the temporary residence of the Council of Governors, a large number of people, property and property began to gather in this city.Gradually, the signs of Shanghai as a magical capital have begun to appear, and the myth of Shanghai's wealth creation has also begun to spread among the people.

Whether it's an ordinary farmer who sold his property, came to Shanghai to do business, and became a rich man, or a penniless kid who came to Shanghai and made a fortune with his bare hands.Such a novel city, a city of magic beyond other cities in this era, does have the ability to give the wanderers who come here a better life, and like the goddess of fate, give them the opportunity to reach the pinnacle of life.

With official encouragement, Shanghai's commercial activities and service industries have gradually developed.Although sensual venues are not completely banned in Shanghai, there is a strict license system and strict inspection and supervision, so Shanghai has not become a place full of Yangzhou skinny horses and fireworks everywhere like Nanjing or Suzhou.There are more interesting teahouses here, all kinds of restaurants and hotels, and even some things like theaters and theaters. People can't imagine it. They are still in troubled times, but they have only existed for a short time. Shanghai, like a dream, makes people feel the full prosperity of the world.

The restaurant that Bai Mingxiu came to was opened by a northern chef who came south.The chef claimed that his father was the imperial chef of the Forbidden City in Shuntian Prefecture. He escaped during the Jiashen Incident. He ended up living in the south, and finally came to Shanghai to open this restaurant.

The food and taste of this restaurant are really good, and the price is not outrageous. Although the decoration is not as good as those so-called state-owned restaurants and big hotels, it is clean and tidy, and the private room on the second floor is also considered quiet.Bai Mingxiu has several restaurants he frequents frequently, and this restaurant is one of them.

The boss is also a smart person, how can he not know what Bai Mingxiu's identity is, every time Bai Mingxiu comes, he immediately goes out to greet him in person, says something, and guides Bai Mingxiu to the box on the second floor.The boss never announced to the outside world that this is a famous shop that the prince often visits.

When Bai Mingxiu went out to eat out every day, he basically followed his car lightly, and his followers consisted of five or six people. Of course, the other guards were secretly in the distance, observing the surroundings.

Bai Mingxiu and Sister Lion were the only ones who ate the meal. Sister Lion sat down and poured tea for His Highness the Crown Prince with a ladylike air. Watching him drink tea, she said, "Your Highness will forcefully push forward the military expansion plan this time. , it looks like they are preparing for something."

Bai Mingxiu ate several cold dishes, and answered her: "Is it that obvious?"

Sister Shi said calmly: "After all, I have been by His Highness's side for a long time. Although I haven't slept in the same bed, but if you have any thoughts, just look at the expressions and movements, and I can roughly figure it out."

Bai Mingxiu is quite used to Miss Lion's occasional teasing, he said: "It's been so long, it looks like I'm blessed with divine help, and I can do everything to my advantage, but in fact, in many cases, I'm also put on fire, maybe a mistake Let alone falling into the abyss, there may be tens of thousands of people involved.”

Sister Lion said: "It's rare to see Your Highness feeling so sad."

"Sad spring and sad autumn? Haha, then you are wrong, no, I just pretend to be aggressive in silence."

"Pay attention to your language in front of a lady." Lioness said.

Bai Mingxiu continued to eat shredded kelp, snorted, and said, "As a woman who often discusses gender issues in front of me, sometimes you are surprisingly double-standard."

Sister Lion was a little surprised, and said: "Is this young concubine going to grow up? He's starting to fight back."

Bai Mingxiu casually glanced at his crotch, pretending nothing happened.He coughed twice, watched the waiter in the shop bring a plate of food, thanked her, and then continued to say to Sister Lion: "Anyway, you should know me well enough, Sister Lion. What kind of person am I? You know best. I don’t talk about those who have or don’t, and I won’t be indecisive, because many times, some so-called choices are not choices at all, and there is always only one way in front of me. What I want to do, I think What is the right way to do it, I will do it, if you look forward and backward, it may not necessarily have a good result in the end.”

Miss Lion shook her head, picked up her chopsticks and was ready to eat, she said: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Bai Mingxiu didn't continue talking, he was indeed agitated by the new main task created by the system.But he also knew that he had to face this challenge head on.

"At this time last year, we came to Jiangnan from Guangdong by boat. At that time, Shanghai Pudong was still a piece of bad land." Bai Mingxiu jumped on a topic, but Miss Lion didn't answer him. .

So His Royal Highness continued: "Then you said that at this time next year, we will have dinner there again, and what kind of topics will we talk about? I feel that the current situation is unpredictable. It’s fast, and it’s very rewarding.”

He smiled lightly, picked up the teacup, and said, "Let me pretend to be aggressive again."
