Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

However, this time the civil servant miscalculated...

Who is Zhao Shizhen?

He is a die-hard confidant of Wanli.

Wanli won't go to court - your courtiers can't see you, but that doesn't mean Zhao Shizhen can't see you!

So Zhao Shizhen went directly to the palace to find Wanli and explained the situation.

The two of them decided to bypass the court.

So Wanli asked the courtiers for money and said that he would not make any more!

result……

Damn, there was a lot of verbal fighting - in the end, the courtier reluctantly returned the 6000 taels of silver.

Those 4000 taels of silver—gone!

I didn’t even fart. Two pieces of silver are gone!

Wanli was furious and asked people to inspect the Ministry of Industry...

Oh ho~~

You, the dog emperor, are going to show off your face, aren’t you?

Damn it, you really thought we couldn’t kill you!

Clay figurines still have a third of fire!

I am greedy for your money. Is it called greed for the affairs of scholars?

That's called "floating away as usual"!

So, as soon as the eunuch left the palace, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce sent a memorial.

A serious report to Wanli - there was a fire in the Ministry of Industry's account book, which happened to burn the one you allocated...

Coincidentally, Quanzhou was hit by a typhoon, causing flooding and damaging countless houses, villages and towns.

The number of drowned corpses alone exceeded [-].

Wanli had no choice but to focus on the Quanzhou incident.

This matter of money is just settled!

……

The civil servants at that time were so awesome!

As powerful as Wanli, there is nothing he can do against them...

This incident happened in the 31st year of Wanli, that is, 1602.

A few years later, Zhao Shizhen was killed...

After Zhao Shizhen's death, the world will be dominated by that group of masters and disciples...

People began to hire "barbarians" to make firearms.

Ah!

Western technology is more "valuable", so the cost will always increase a bit, right?

In the historical circle, someone has done verification:

After Wanli, the price of a shotgun made in the Ming Dynasty was basically around 20 taels of silver. The higher-tech Lumi guns were at least [-] taels of silver...

before?

A gun costs between 0.7 taels and 2 taels.

Overnight, the cost of muskets increased tenfold!

Damn it, I really know how to do business...

This price is more expensive than the medium-sized Fo Lang machine artillery made during the Jiajing period!

……

Wuchang.

A fleet whose hull was covered with shells slowly sailed into the Han River.

More than a dozen large sea-going ships cut through the waves and sailed across the river.

On the bow of the ship, a large flag with the word "Zheng" fluttered in the wind in the fierce river wind.

On one of the battleships, a general's flag with the word "Gong" was hoisted.

That ship had a very deep draft, and it looked like it was carrying a heavy load.

On the deck, a group of marching soldiers, with weathered faces but holding various weapons, looked around vigilantly, not daring to relax at all.

Gong Yonggu is back.

With the help of Zheng Hongkui, Consort Gong, who had been traveling for a year, finally returned to Kyushu again.

Gong Yonggu, who was wearing the skin of a blind bear, had a red face.

This is not entirely exciting, but caused by the cold wind in the north...

"Your Majesty, ever since we crossed Jiujiang, we have been under the rule of the Emperor.

Since May last year, His Majesty has ruled everything from Aoer Dusi in the north to Annan in the south! "

Zheng Hongkui pointed to the busy waterway and said to Gong Yonggu.

With just one sentence, Gong Yonggu already had tears in his eyes and his voice was choked with sobs.

"It's my fault. I'm so ashamed of Your Majesty!"

Gong Yonggu's eyes turned red.

"Pfft!"

He knelt on the bow of the ship, facing the direction of Handu, and kowtowed vigorously...

"Ugh!"

Zheng Hongkui sighed and stepped forward to pull Gong Yonggu up.

Looking at Gong Yonggu standing on the bow of the boat, wiping away tears, he felt a lot of emotion.

From this prince-consort who sacrificed his family for his country, Zheng Hongkui learned a feeling of family and country that he had never had in the Zheng family.

He took a step forward and tightened the bearskin on Gong Yonggu's body:

"Prince-in-law, why are you timid when you are close to home?

Your Majesty restored the Ming Dynasty despite the embarrassment of rebellion across the world. This is something worth celebrating.

We should be happy!

Besides, Prince Consort, you are not afraid of the wind and snow in the North and hang my Ming Dynasty battle flag on Nuergan.

Restore your homeland before your eyes!

What you have done is already a great achievement, so why should you blame yourself? "

Gong Yonggu took a deep breath and suppressed his sadness:

"What General Zheng said is that your Majesty restored the Ming Dynasty and defeated Donglu and Ao'er Dusi...

Congratulations!

I should congratulate His Majesty..."

Look at the prosperous scene of boats and boats on the river, and thousands of sails sailing.

He was full of pride:

"How can I, a Ming Dynasty man, not be able to love his children forever!

It was my little daughter's gesture, which made Brother Zheng laugh. "

Zheng Hongkui smiled and said nothing.

He really learned a lot from Gong Yonggu.

When I came back, I planned to bring most of the money I earned in Japan back to my hometown in Fujian.

At that time, all he wanted to do was prove himself like his elder brother.

If the eldest brother is still stubborn, then he will build another Zheng family!

Anyway, I have earned a lot of money from the emperor...

Along the way, the two of them got along day and night, and he learned a lot.

Gong Yonggu's aura of sacrificing his family for his country infected him.

Therefore, when he arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Zheng Hongkui changed his decision.

That's it!

The money he earned today was enough to build a new Zheng family.

Just enough money is enough...

It is useless to ask for too much.

Besides, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

If the descendants are incompetent - then Shen Wansan, who is so rich that he can rival the country, will be defeated by his son...

If the descendants fail to live up to expectations, they will be left in ruins if they are left with gold and silver!

Then transport it to Handu.

As long as I can leave a good relationship with His Majesty, even if my descendants are ineffective, I can still be a good person.

When the time comes, we won’t let future generations live on the streets...

So Zheng Hongkui filled several ships with silver and sailed into the Yangtze River.

Zheng Hongkui thought very simply——

If the emperor does not take away his money, then he will build a Zheng family compound near Handu.

This mansion is the shelter he left to his descendants.

If the emperor is evil-hearted and wants to steal his money...

fine……

No big deal, I’ll just earn it later.

As long as the emperor is happy and allows him to invest in the workshop, relying on the dividends, future generations will be able to have enough food and clothing.

maybe...

When the emperor was happy, he granted a few more titles...

All future generations will live together with the country!

This is a ten thousand year plan!

Zheng Hongkui, who returned with Gong Yonggu, brought all the silver he had obtained from the Japanese slaves to Handu.

It has to be said that the things produced in China are the hard currency of this era.

The beautifully made silver coins, as soon as they were shipped to Japan, became the new favorites of feudal lords and feudal lords rushing to buy them.

A silver dollar that can be blown is simply a "miracle" in this era!

Each one can bring Zheng Hongkui several times the harvest.
