Our East Factory needs talents like you

Chapter 73 Time flies

There are two flowers blooming, one for each branch, let us turn our attention from Dongying to Dameng.

Thanks to the Empress Dowager Zhou, Wan Zhen'er was really grounded in the Longevity Palace for more than two years, nearly three years, so Dameng Kingdom started from the second half of the 12th year of Shenghua until the 14th year of Shenghua. During the year, it was generally calm, and there was even a small improvement.For example, after the emperor canonized the prince, it seemed that he had suddenly opened up, adding 5 princes and 3 princesses in three years.Although the ministers all knew that it was only because the Empress Dowager and the Minister of Internal Affairs had united to chop off all of Concubine Wan Gui's minions in the palace, after all, Wan Zhen'er was not dead, so they had to say in unison that it was because the Eastern Palace was in power, God bless Caused by Da Meng.And this wave of "God Bless Dameng" has indeed given the little prince a lot of prestige.

Gou'er has been very "calm" these past few years. On weekdays, the Empress Dowager Zhou personally takes care of his eldest grandson, and at the same time, it is also to prevent the grounded bad woman from attacking his grandson.Liu Jian, Gou'er's mentor and university scholar, is full of hope and expectation for this prince. Although the prince is still young, Liu Jian can already see a glimmer of the dawn of a Mingjun from this child.Of course, this ray of dawn did not exist when the prince was emotional and went to bed...

The boy Gou'er seems to be very talented in lightness kung fu, and of course he is also talented in learning.Even if there is no time to practice lightness exercises on weekdays, even after three years, the dog can still climb a two-foot-high beam in two seconds.The Empress Dowager Zhou even praised Gou'er often because of this, saying that after he had this ability, he would no longer have to worry about being assassinated like the first emperor.Upon hearing this, Liu Jian, the prince teacher, also felt that the queen mother's words were very reasonable. After all, he didn't want the prince who had worked so hard to be taken away by a vicious woman so easily.So Liu Jian privately encouraged the prince to continue contacting Qinggong. Of course, the prince must first focus on his studies.

Mr. Neixiang has aged a lot in the past few years, just like Baoer said, if he hadn't had a bun on his head to hide it, he would have been beaten as a trespassing monk because of his Mediterranean hairstyle died.Isn't it all because of being tired? Internally, he wants to suppress Concubine Wan Gui's existing power in the dark, for fear that these monsters will rise up.At the same time, it is necessary to prevent the remnants of Xichang who are loyal to Concubine Wan Gui from retaliation against Dongchang and the Supervisor of Rites.

Externally, the Minister of Internal Affairs still needs to fight wits and courage with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. Except for two serious elders in the cabinet, the rest of the cabinet are either offering male health products to the emperor all day long, or persuading the emperor all day long. To practice Taoism and keep in good health.As for the capital, he did nothing but kowtow all day long, long live, long live.It can be said that the inner minister has broken his heart for Da Meng's court, but fortunately, officials like Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang who pay more attention to practical work have gradually begun to make their mark in the court.

In the north, especially in the Shanhaiguan area, Wang Zhi, who was guarding the frontier, also made a splash.In the past three years, the Liaodong region, which was once infested by the Jurchen, was almost plowed by Wang Zhi and the frontier army led by him. The Jurchen's power in Liaodong was fatally hit by Wang Zhi.The beaten Jurchens had to abandon the relatively warm Liaodong region and migrate to the colder north.The people's livelihood in the entire Liaodong region has been greatly improved during Wang Zhi's supervision of the army.

However, wars are not the only thing in the Northeast. For example, in the autumn of 14, a caravan from the Guerjia family suddenly visited Wang Zhi's camp.Moreover, Wang Zhi also discovered that the leader of this caravan turned out to be a Jurchen who wore Hanfu and spoke Han.Eunuch Wang was also puzzled, usually the Jurchens he saw were tall and big, but this team leader was not only small, but also very dark.His Chinese is also very strange, as if he learned it from the mouths of Shandong people, Hebei people and North Zhili people.Moreover, this person's voice is very nasal, and Wang Zhi doesn't know why, but whenever this person speaks, he feels inexplicably wanting to laugh.

When Wang Zhi learned that the name of the caravan leader was Guerjia Xiaobaoer, Wang Zhi couldn't bear it anymore.Counting this short and dark little Bao'er, this is already the second one Wang Zhi knows, but the difference between these two little Bao'er is too big!This Hei Xiaobao saw the guarding eunuch laughing at him, not only didn't get angry, but even played Baolai in front of the eunuch.This action narrowed the distance between the two of them, and made the following conversation easier.

"Wang Dayin, in fact, we just want to go to Tianjin, the capital and other places to sell goods. Can you be more flexible and let us go through Shanhaiguan?"

Wang Zhi sat on the top chair and asked Hei Xiaobao with a smile: "What are you going to sell?"

"Silver ginseng, mink fur, ganoderma lucidum, or just some odds and ends."

Wang Zhi shook his head, and said to Hei Xiaobao: "These things of yours can't be sold for much."

"What? Not worth much?" Hei Xiaobao scratched his dark face and asked, "How can these things be worthless?"

"Because valuable things are gone before they reach the capital."

"Gone?"

Wang Zhi nodded and said: "It's gone, maybe even everyone is gone!"

Hearing what Wang Zhi said, another Jurchen who could speak Chinese in the caravan suddenly pointed at Wang Zhi and said, "You are talking nonsense, we Guarjia people are never afraid..."

"Snapped!"

Hei Xiaobao didn't dare to let Lengtouqing in the team finish his sentence, so he slapped his hat off his head.

"Aren't you afraid of anything? Are you not afraid of anything?" Hei Xiaobao poked his stunned head hard with a finger, and cursed: "You bastard, look at your damage, who are you with?" Where's whining chirping? Hurry up and hold back for me!"

Wang Zhi was very happy with Hei Xiaobao's attitude. He knew that despite Hei Xiaobao's ridiculous appearance, he was a sensible person who knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.Unlike the barbarians of some other Jurchen tribes, who do nothing but rob, they are planning to get rich by doing business.Therefore, Wang Zhi decided to point out a clear path for the caravan of the Guarjia family!
"Dayin, what kind of enlightenment are you pointing us to?"

"Really want to know?"

Hei Xiaobao nodded and said, "I want to!"

"Aren't you afraid that our family will harm you?"

"Oh my god, if you want to harm us, Dayin, why don't you put all this effort on us?"

"Okay!" Wang Zhi brought Bao'er to a simple map of Liaodong, pointed to the tip of Liaodong Peninsula and asked Hei Xiaobao: "Do you know where this is?"

Hei Xiaobao nodded and said, "I know, isn't this Dalian!"

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's right, this is the bag (the name of Dalian in the Ming Dynasty)!"

"Da Yin means, let us go to Dalian?"

Wang Zhi smiled and nodded.

"But what are we, a group of mountain sellers, going to Dalian for? We also want to go to the sea!"

"If you believe in our family, you can dispose of your goods at Shanhaiguan, then take our letter and take your caravan to the bag. Don't worry, there are letters from our family. Jinzhouwei and Fuzhouwei People here won’t embarrass you!”

Hearing this, Hei Xiaobao rolled his eyes and quietly asked Wang Zhi, "Da Yin, is there any really profitable business?"

"Why did our family lie to you?" Wang Zhi patted Hei Xiaobao on the shoulder, almost knocking him to the ground with great force, Wang Zhi looked at the grinning Hei Xiaobao, and said to him: "The business there Second only to raising flags to rebel, it is the second most profitable business in the world!"
