Chapter 495 A Badass Like You

The young man pushed the cart and walked slowly in front of Zheng Zhibao. At this time, he hadn't recovered from his daze.

"This passenger, please put your foot down~" the young man reminded Zheng Zhibao with a smile.

"Ah, ah, good."

Zheng Zhibao came to his senses and hurriedly squeezed back.Seeing the young man pushing the cart to leave, he subconsciously spoke.

"How much is a pack of melon seeds?"

"Ten copper coins in the big bag, five copper coins in the small bag. Which one do you want?"

"Big ones, small ones!"

Zheng Zhibao took it out of his bosom and found that he didn't have a single copper coin on his body. Then he remembered that he was taken to the capital as a prisoner this time, and couldn't help but blush.Just as I was about to say no to buying it, I found that the eldest brother's soldiers handed five copper coins to the young man's hand.

The young man thanked him, handed the melon seeds to Zheng Zhibao, and continued walking forward, yelling.

Zheng Zhibao held the melon seeds wrapped in paper and stood there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nearly two hours later, the speed of the train slowly slowed down, and after continuing for a while, the Beijing Railway Station arrived.

The passengers in the car started to pack their things one after another, and those sitting in the seats also stood up, ready to get off.

When the train came to a complete stop, the conductor opened the door.

The next process is the same as when getting on the train at Tianjin Station, except that it changes from getting on to getting off.

Zheng Zhibao and the others followed the flow of people and walked straight out of the train station.

He was again stunned by the sight at the gate of the train station.

What came into view was a super large square, in the center of which there was an endless stream of tourists coming and going.

On the opposite side of the square is an extremely wide road. On the other side of the road is a row of small two-storey buildings. Below are shops. Various voices of hawking and soliciting customers can be faintly heard.

"Several objective, do you stay in the hotel?"

A boy who didn't know where he came from came up.

"Ok?"

Zheng Zhibao looked at the sky, the sun was shining brightly at this time, what shop should he stay in?

"No need."

"If you don't want to stay, you can come and rest for a while, we have everything in the store." The boy's expression became ambiguous.

"Can I eat?"

"Ahem, who are you coming to the capital for the first time?" The servant seemed to understand something.

"how do you know?"

Zheng Zhibao is really weird, how the hell does everyone know that I am in Beijing for the first time?

"If it's not your first time in Beijing, why would you ask us if we have anything to eat? Turtle."

The servant curled his lips in disdain, turned around and went to attract the next guest.

After a while, he led a middle-aged merchant into the distance.

Zheng Zhibao looked at his elder brother and his followers with question marks on his face.

"Let's go." Zheng Zhilong didn't explain anything, and took the lead to a carriage shop on the side of the square to rent two carriages, got in and drove towards the capital.

Along the way, Zheng Zhibao lifted the curtain to watch the scene on the road, and more and more questions arose in his mind.

The capital is different from what he imagined.

It's very different.

Half an hour later, they stayed in a restaurant that was neither luxurious nor shabby.

"How do you feel?" In the room, Zheng Zhilong took a sip of tea and asked Zheng Zhibao softly.

"I can't say it. The feeling is very different from what I imagined. Nanjing City is also very prosperous, but it is not as shocking as the capital city. The feeling of the capital city is very novel."

"Novelty? If the train is full of elite Ming soldiers, then depart from the port of Tianjin and take a boat to Luzon. It will take at most ten days to arrive. Wait until the shells hit the city and the muskets hit you , do you still feel novelty?

From the moment we landed, this road is all cement roads.Do you know what this means? "

"No, I don't know."

"On behalf of the imperial court is very rich! Your Majesty is very rich! In the past two years, there has been a saying of His Majesty circulating in the court and the public: To get rich, build roads first. Now roads are being built in all provinces and places. Big cities build railways, small cities build cement roads. Build roads. People have to be used for the road, and people have to be paid for the people who use them. Those people who plan food in the fields have a way to make money.

After the road is built, the cost of transporting goods will also be reduced, and the cost of living for the people will also be reduced.This becomes a virtuous cycle.

The common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the imperial court has money in their hands.You say, who is willing to rebel?Brainless bastard like you? "

"Big brother..."

"Don't call me big brother. If you still have my big brother in your eyes, you won't be led by the nose like a stupid donkey. Go back to your own room and sleep. Your Majesty must have heard about our arrival in Beijing." If something happens, these two people will call us. It is time to reveal the future of our Zheng clan."

Zheng Zhibao wanted to say something more, but seeing his elder brother's expression was unhappy, he swallowed it all back.

In fact, he already regretted it in his heart.

Along the way, I feel that Daming's strength comes from all aspects.

And he still tried to take credit and be proud, rebel and become king, which is ridiculous to the extreme.

But things have already happened, and there is no medicine for regret in the world.

If possible, I would rather die than save the lives of my family members.

Zheng Zhilong was right as he expected, he didn't even eat dinner, and the people from the palace came to him.

"Uncle Tainan, Your Majesty wants you to bring Zheng Zhibao into the palace at the same time tomorrow, so don't miss the time!" A eunuch in his 30s conveyed Zhu Youjian's oral order to Zheng Zhilong with a cold expression.

"It's time for you, Father-in-law." After saying that, Zheng Zhilong was about to take something out of his pocket.

"No need."

However, the eunuch turned around and left without saying a word.

Are you kidding me, your brothers have threatened to rebel and become king in Luzon, how dare our family accept your things?

Zheng Zhilong was taken aback for a moment, his face turned ugly.

To some extent, the attitude of the people around the emperor determines the attitude of the emperor.

Ugh...

Zheng Zhilong sat down with a sigh, and began to worry.

This night was extremely long for Zheng Zhilong.

He thought over and over how His Majesty would deal with them, and felt that His Majesty would not do anything to them for the time being.Otherwise, if they were taken down as soon as they entered the capital, why would they be summoned?

Second day

Zheng Zhilong woke up early, changed to his own official residence, and brought Zheng Zhibao and two people to wait outside the palace gate early.

At a moment's notice, a little eunuch brought them in.

I saw Zhu Youjian who hadn't seen him for many days in Qianqing Palace.

"Criminal Zheng Zhilong kowtows to His Majesty!" Zheng Zhilong knelt down on the ground as soon as he entered the room, and lay motionless on the ground after performing the salute.

Zheng Zhibao followed suit, kneeling beside his elder brother.

"The official is here. Get up, don't be too polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian's tone was very calm, Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to be hypocritical, got up from the ground, and stood with his head bowed.

"Is this your third brother Zhibao?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it is my ineffective third brother Zheng Zhibao!"

"I heard he wants to rebel against me?"
