Great Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty

The wharf below Xiawa City has been transformed into a huge port. Not only can it dock the naval flagship, but it has also established a new customs office. This is an important cash cow. Wang Zhen will not let it go easily, after all, Xiawa now The city is the base camp of the expeditionary force.

The city lord's mansion in Xiawa City has also been changed into a Ming Dynasty county government. The county magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant are all selected from the entourage of the expeditionary army. They are worthy of recognition in terms of loyalty and ability. of.

At this time, Wang Zhen was walking on the streets of Xiawa City, looking at the bustling Xiawa City, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Go ahead and have a look, it seems that something big has happened in front!" A citizen of Xiawa City hurriedly walked past Wang Zhen and bumped Wang Zhen's shoulder. Wearing casual clothes, it is estimated that they will hide far away.

Wang Zhen looked curiously at the people who were going away, and at the same time he was puzzled, he couldn't help but speed up his movements a little bit, and followed behind. Although Wang Zhen walked slowly with his feet, if someone stared at Wang Zhen If you look at it, you will find that every time Wang Zhen takes a step, he will appear a long distance away. This means that Wang Zhen's lightness skill has reached the point of perfection.

"Nine Thousand Years Blessing, this thing is so strange, I dare not deposit money in it, but they said that there is a guarantee from the county government, so it's probably okay!" A merchant shook his head and sighed.

"Nine Thousand Years Blessing, I think shopkeeper Yoshizawa can give it a try. I'll go home in a while to get the money and deposit it here." An old man said.

Looking at the onlookers, Wang Zhen also leaned over to look inside.

Now, due to Wang Zhen's mandatory belief, in order to allow themselves to remember Nine Thousand Years, the people in Xiawa City start talking with the three words Nine Thousand Years old. This will form a habit subtly. Once the habit becomes natural, then Even if the common people in Xiawa City do not force them to believe in Nine Thousand Years, they will subconsciously recite Nine Thousand Years.

Sometimes Wang Zhen even worried that they would develop a mouth disease, and they would also bring nine thousand years old when they scolded the street, so wouldn't he be scolded by others in the dark?

Wang Zhen took a closer look inside and found that a new shop had opened on the busiest part of the street, but this shop was not for selling things, but for saving money.Because there are four big characters of Daming Bank written on the plaque above.

"Hehe, I didn't expect those people from the chamber of commerce to actually get Daming Bank out as Ben Du said." Wang Zhen said with a smile.

At the beginning, Wang Zhen was worried that his expeditionary army would not have enough military expenses, so he was anxious about the largest chambers of commerce in the Ming Dynasty, and told them that he planned to open a bank in the land of Fusang as a pilot. Banks are established in various places. In this way, merchants do not need to transport silver to purchase goods, but only need to withdraw money from the bank at the place of purchase.

With Wang Zhen's guarantee, these chambers of commerce all agreed to take a stake in this Daming Bank, but Wang Zhen told them that this Daming Bank would only give them a certain amount of preferential loans, and there was no such thing as shares, because Daming Bank is state-owned. At least that's what Wang Zhen told them. Although it is owned by the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, the person in charge is Wang Zhen. This is something that the owners of the chamber of commerce know very well, otherwise they would not dare to go there. Depositing money in Daming Bank, Wang Zhen's reputation is still greatly guaranteed.

In order to be able to control the bank, Wang Zhen did a lot of investigation and analysis, and also recalled some information from his previous life. Although it was only superficial, it was enough for this era.Only by controlling the circulation of silver, Wang Zhen believes that even if he is no longer the governor of the Nine Frontiers and the eunuch guarding the East Factory, he can hold the lifeline of the economy. Sometimes economic warfare is worse than real wars. Much more terrifying.

"Everyone! As long as you deposit money in this bank, you will have interest. The interest is very high. As long as you deposit money in the past year, you will get more money in the next year. This is how money makes money!" A rogue hired by the bank He was grinning and said to the onlookers.

"So if I deposit my money in the bank, the bank will give me the money? So where does the bank give me the interest? Isn't the bank stupid?" A passerby with a clear mind asked the ronin.

When the ronin was mentioned by this passer-by, not only did he not feel annoyed at all, but he said enthusiastically, "Our Daming Bank not only has the business of depositing money, but also the business of lending money. As long as you are a citizen of Xiaku City, as long as you have the county government You can get a loan from the bank with your ID card, but there is some interest, that is to say, the bank lends you your money to me, and then I give the bank interest, it's as simple as that."

"What if you pay the compensation and still not pay?" asked another passer-by.

"Even if you meet a rascal and don't make it, the bank will pay you, which has nothing to do with you, and if you don't want to pay back the money, you will be judged as an old rascal by the county government, and you will be forced to do hard labor until Earn back the principal and interest of the money. With the guarantee of Xuanwuwei and Yamen, what are you afraid of? Now the expeditionary army is about to attack other feudal towns. The goods will definitely be shipped to our Xiawa City in large quantities. At that time, it is time for us to make a fortune. As long as we borrow money from the bank at that time, we will have money to buy goods and ship them to other feudal towns. Then we will make a fortune. Is it?" The ronin seemed to have been trained, and he said incessantly: "Once the feudal town is occupied by the expeditionary force, the Daming Bank will inevitably be established, and when the time comes to sell the goods there, all you need to do is deposit the money in the Daming Bank." Bank, then you can return to Xiawa City easily, without worrying about the trouble of transporting the silver and worrying about the robbers on the road who will rob you of the money.”

"It seems very reasonable. I just sold a batch of goods in Xiawa City, and I was worried about how to take the money away. With the Daming Bank, I can rest assured." A wealthy businessman in silk and satin clothes said. Then he walked into the Daming Bank, and the two clerks behind him were carrying a box and followed them into the Daming Bank. Seeing the size of the box and the way the two clerks were pushing hard, it was estimated that the box was filled with silver.

Seeing that someone started, curious people also walked into Daming Bank with their money in their pockets, wanting to deposit a few taels of silver to see if they could really make money.

Wang Zhen looked at this scene, smiled, turned and left, walking so coolly and indifferently, no one around him noticed him.

5 Chapter Seventy

When Wang Zhen was feeling bored while shopping and was planning to return to the county office, Feng Naluo, Ding Yuyu and Chuan Ji, the heads of the Dongchang stalls, found him.

"Master, this subordinate finally found you!" Feng Nailuo shouted excitedly.

"Hush! Low-key! Low-key! How decent is it to shout on the street?" Wang Zhen didn't show mercy to Feng Nailuo at all, and scolded in a low voice.

Only then did Feng Nailuo realize that she had been a little rude. Fortunately, there were not many passers-by here, so she immediately felt relieved and said in a low voice: "Master, please don't blame your subordinates. It's too strange at this time, so subordinates I came here to find the governor, and I also brought Ding Qianhu and Miss Chuanji."

"Oh? What's so laborious?" Wang Zhen asked suspiciously.

He really couldn't think of anything that required Feng Nailuo to find Ding Yuyu and Chuan Ji, because if it was a matter of military affairs, Li Songwei, the commander of Xuanwuwei, would definitely find him; if it was a matter of civil affairs, the county magistrate would also I will definitely come to find myself. This Feng Naluo asked Shangding Universe and Chuan Ji to come to him, so the reason is intriguing.

Seeing Wang Zhenfa's question, Feng Nailuo didn't hold back anymore, and said directly: "The governor doesn't know something, this is very strange, but a temple was occupied in Xiawa City before, and the monks inside haven't left yet. Today, the [-]-year-old believers are planning to drive these monks away, but they are resisted by these monks, and several believers have been injured. The soldiers of Xuanwuwei tried to shoot those monks with killing rifles, but the result The bullets couldn't hurt them. According to a graduate of the Songshan School of Martial Arts Academy, he told his subordinates that these monks were not martial arts masters, and it was estimated that there were monsters at work, so the subordinates sent Ding Qianhu and Chuan Miss Ji is also invited."

Wang Zhen nodded when he heard the words, and asked Ding Yuyu and Chuan Ji: "I don't know what Ding Qianhu and Miss Chuan Ji think about this?"

Ding Yuyu said: "I don't know much about these things, Chuan Ji, do you know?"

"There are too many monsters in Fusang Land, and Chuan Ji doesn't know what kind of monsters are enshrined in this temple. Only by visiting the site can Chuan Ji know. Why don't we go and have a look now!" Said curiously.

Wang Zhen nodded and said: "Lead the way ahead, Feng Jitou. This matter is related to the spread of Nine Thousand Years' beliefs. It is really impossible to act carelessly. Take the governor to see what the hell is going on in this monk's temple." !"

Feng Nailuo nodded, then turned around and led Wang Zhen and the others towards the temple.

A few people reached the destination within a cup of tea. Wang Zhen looked up. The scale of this temple is not small, it can be said to be extraordinary, and there is a strong power of incense in it, which makes Wang Zhen The primordial spirit in the body felt a burst of hunger, and had the urge to devour and refine all the power of the incense.

The Xuanwu guards guarding outside the temple saw Wang Zhen approaching, and they knelt down on the ground one after another, shouting, "Your subordinates kowtow to the governor!"

"Get up! What happened?" Wang Zhen asked the soldiers of the Xuanwu Guard.

"The Lord Governor is like this. We planned to expel the monks in this temple. As a result, the believers were shot by these monks. The subordinates planned to shoot and kill the monks. I didn't expect that the killing rifles could not cause harm to these monks. According to the judgment of the subordinates , These monks are not martial arts masters, but their subordinates are graduates of Songshan Martial Arts Academy, so they can ascertain the realm of these monks." The Xuanwu guard Baihu of this team is a young man with the realm of second-rate masters. After saluting, he said: "This subordinate estimates that there must be some evil spirits in the temple!"

Wang Zhen nodded, took two steps forward, looked at the old monks sitting cross-legged at the gate of the temple, and asked, "Are you old bald donkeys trying to stop the Xuanwu guards of the governor?"

"Amitabha! Sin! Sin! This old monk devotes all his heart to the Buddha, but he didn't expect to encounter such an innocent disaster today. What a pity!" An old monk wearing a presiding monk's robe slowly opened his eyes, looked at Wang Zhen and said.

"Since ancient times, you have become kings and defeated bandits. You have already lost the city of Xiawa. Now everything in Xiawa city is in the hands of the governor. The lives of you people in Xiawa city are in the hands of the governor. How dare you Dare to resist the governor? I am really impatient!" Wang Zhen said coldly: "Shoot!"

"Bang!" The Xuanwu guards fired upon hearing Wang Zhen's order, and immediately pulled the trigger on the old monk. At the same time as the gunshot fired, a bullet from the captive-killing rifle shot towards the old monk.

Wang Zhen carefully observed the trail of the bullet with both eyes, and found that when the bullet touched the entrance of the temple, a golden light that ordinary people could not see emitted from the depths of the temple. This golden light blocked the old monk. It hit the golden light and was bounced aside.

"Hahaha! So that's it! I didn't expect that your temple enshrines an evil Buddha! It's not a Buddha at all!" Wang Zhen suddenly realized, with a look of contempt on his face, he thought these old monks were real eminent monks Unexpectedly, it was just a few people who believed in evil Buddhas.

"Don't talk nonsense! Those who dare to slander the Buddha will surely go to hell after death!" The old monk no longer had the appearance of an ancient well without waves, and shouted angrily.

"Go to hell after death? Why not repay the world? It seems that the so-called Buddhas you believe in are not very good!" Wang Zhen sneered.

The old monk took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and said in a deep voice: "The Buddha said that if there is a cause, there must be an effect. Today, the benefactor has done such evil things, and he will definitely suffer retribution in the future!"

"If there is a cause, there must be an effect? ​​It is because you Fusang people have small rituals but no great righteousness, so the governor led the expeditionary army of the Ming Dynasty to the land of Fusang, just to build a paradise. Has your Buddha done it for so many years? Influence the wicked? Have the feudal lords of these feudal towns be made to be good? Isn’t the feudal town still separatist, isn’t it still rampant with monsters? Why do ghosts go out at night? Isn’t it because people’s hearts have become evil? Where is your Buddha? Didn't protect the common people in the land of Fusang?" Wang Zhen said angrily.

"This? This! This is the test given to them by the Buddha. Those who do evil will go to hell after death, and those who do good will be reborn in a good family in their next life and enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of their lives!" the old monk argued.

"Once the land of Fusang falls into permanent war, how can there be a good family? Is it possible to be reborn in the family of a feudal lord in a feudal town, and then do evil for a lifetime, and then go to hell after death? Is this a virtuous circle or a vicious circle? Are you right? Confused?" Wang Zhen laughed.

Chapter 571 Your Retribution Is Me

Chapter 571 Your Retribution Is Me

"The benefactor has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. This old monk is not an opponent. Please let the benefactor spare the temple. All the monks in this temple will pray for the benefactor day and night." The old monk said sincerely with palms together.

For the old monk and the others, this temple is their property. Once they leave this temple, even if they go to seek refuge in other temples, they are just living under the fence. The end of acting according to people's faces is not what the old monk wants matter.

"The governor is not interested in you bastards, get out of here quickly, or the governor will start killing you!" Wang Zhen said, and began to walk towards the gate of the temple.

"Amitabha, villain! The Buddha will protect our temple!" The old monk said firmly, as if he had great trust in the Buddha he believed in.

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Zhen's mouth, and he said, "This governor wants to see what kind of Buddha you are talking about!"
