In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

Chen Feng called Yu Guangle again and told him that he had nothing to do to keep an eye on Yang Tingbi.Yu Guangle didn't know why, so he asked: "Is it because Yang Hanlin has any signs of corruption and bribery, forming a party for personal gain?"

Chen Feng said, "That's not true."

"Then why..."

"I'm telling you to watch, don't let him come to Yi Xin to flatter you."

Yu Guangle: ...that's great.

On the day of early June, Chen Feng, as an envoy specially sent by the Queen of England, took the tea, silk, porcelain, medicinal materials, etc., which were rewarded by Gu Li, and set off from the capital with the Dutch people, preparing to go to Taicang, Jiangsu. The fleet he hired He has returned to the East China Sea from Ningyuan, and is waiting for him to pick a good weather to lead the fleet back.

Gu Li was very reluctant, took Chen Feng's hand, and told him that if he couldn't stay in Europe and was not used to eating, he should come back quickly, pay attention to the wind, waves and pirates at sea, and asked him if he had enough firearms. Why don't Chen Feng stay for a while and ask him to get some firearms from Jiao Liewei...

Chen Feng couldn't help being amused, and kissed Gu Li's eyes: "Okay, if you stay any longer, I might as well go after the new year, okay?"

He squeezed Gu Li's hand: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself, and you must be careful too."

The two said goodbye, and Chen Feng finally left.

Gu Li felt uncomfortable and frowning.However, not long after Chen Feng left, something that bothered him even more came.

This year, there has been a lot of rain. Since mid-June, not to mention the Jiangnan area, even the capital has been raining from time to time. Gu Li sent water management officials out of Beijing to check the water situation on both sides of the Yellow River. Nie Guangyu was repairing water conservancy in Sichuan. Temporary way across half of the big Chu to rush over.

Gu Li worried about this matter all day long, and asked the Ministry of Housing and Industry to prepare for flood prevention and disaster relief in advance.After continuous torrential rains in the Central Plains since late June, the water level of the Yellow River has indeed risen.

The reservoirs already built in Pingyang Prefecture were immediately opened to store water. Nie Guangyu, Xia Xingcheng and others reorganized the river channels by the Yellow River last year and dredged the abandoned channels. The mouth of the Yellow River poured into the sea.

The rainy season lasted for more than 20 days. In early July, the rain in the capital had stopped. In the middle of July, the rain in the Central Plains finally stopped. During these 20 days, the dams repaired last year were really carried down. Only the surrounding area Several small places suffered disasters due to the gushing of springs, the softening of dikes, and the flooding of flood water into the city.

The people Gu Li sent to rescue the disaster are already on their way. Generally speaking, although the rainy season is dangerous, it has passed safely. After that, it is necessary to do a good job in the aftermath of the flood.

Such a large-scale rainwater only comes once in about ten years. I didn't expect that this time I could survive without any danger. The courtiers knew that not many cement dikes were used, and most of them attributed the credit to Nie Guangyu and others. person's head.

As for the water conservancy facilities he built in Pingyang Prefecture, they finally worked.After the flood, there was a severe drought. Because Pingyang Prefecture has a reservoir to store water, the fields in counties and townships that are far away from the Yellow River and cannot get water are all relying on the water from this reservoir to irrigate their farmland.

Although the trees planted during the treatment of the Yellow River did not show any effect for less than a year, Gu Li finally proved to everyone that it is necessary to invest money in water conservancy construction.

The grain is ripe at the end of summer. There is too much rain this year, and some districts and counties near the Yellow River have been hit by disasters. The harvest is not very good, but with the grain saved last year, life is still good.Some merchants bought grain and transported it to the disaster-stricken area by the Yellow River to sell at a high price. Gu Li had expected this situation, and it happened that the grain in Huangzhuang had also been harvested. He personally asked Yu Guangle to go out of Beijing and transport it to the disaster-stricken area to help the victims.Before leaving, he gave Yu Guangle a kit, and asked him to open it when he encountered difficulties in the place.

Not knowing why, Yu Guangle escorted the food to the Central Plains.

When he got to the place, Yu Guangle realized that disaster relief was not as simple as he thought. First, those grain merchants originally transported grain to make a fortune, but Yu Guangle messed up the situation. How could these people be willing to disturb the city repeatedly? Troubles happened; then the food was not distributed to the victims. Some local wealthy households were not affected by the disaster, but they sent people to the food collection team to pretend to receive food. The food merchants followed suit and followed suit.

It's okay for the grain merchants to cause trouble, it's nothing more than shameless, offending a few local gentry, servants and idle officials who act as umbrellas for the grain merchants, and then arresting the grain merchants who took the lead in making troubles and beating them up.These country gentry and idle officials naturally have complex connections in the capital, but the person behind Yu Guangle is His Majesty. No matter how strong the connections of this group of people are, can they be tougher than him?

What is difficult is those who want to come to him to receive relief food when they can still have a full meal.Yu Guangle thought of the kit that Gu Li gave him before he left, took it out and looked, and there was only one sentence on it: mix some sand with the rice grain.

Yu Guangle immediately understood that the rice mixed with sand is only eaten by those victims who are hungry. In this way, the real victims can be screened out.

Yu Guangle immediately ordered the porridge sheds in the city to do so.

In fact, Gu Li’s method is just based on history books. It is said that He Shen’s method of disaster relief is the same as Mao Yushi’s proposal that low-rent housing only needs to have public toilets, and the living standard should be compressed to the baseline in order to provide the most affordable housing. those who need it most.

Yu Guangle was out of town for disaster relief, and Gu Li received many memorials to impeach him in the capital.Needless to say, Yu Guangle offended those virtuous gentry and unemployed officials in the local area. Some of these people were officials in the capital, or they had a lot of connections in the officialdom before retirement, plus the natural opposition between civil servants and eunuchs. It would be strange if Yu Guangle was not impeached.

Gu Li suppressed and ignored all those boring melodies that were speculative.Unexpectedly, another person submitted a letter that day, accusing Yu Guangle of being Zhang Ci'er's eyeliner and secretly passing information to the rebels.

Gu Li saw that he was in a cold sweat, and remembered what Yu Guangle said in Chen Feng's house back then.At that time, he felt that Yu Guangle's speech skills were superb, true and false, but he was the most capable of fooling people.So, is what he said true?

The facts are no longer in doubt, because the official who made the report in Shangshu has also found witnesses.Gong Er in Xiejia Hutong had been killed by Chen Feng, but there was still one person alive, that is the little beggar who Yu Guangle sent the news to.

[There is an abandoned hall in the southwest corner of the palace. Every day at dawn, there will be a gap when the imperial guards change their defenses. I come out from there and pass the news to a little beggar in Xiejia Hutong. He will bring the news to my subordinates. Home.Who is the next family, I don't know. 】

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I can ask that little beggar to come into the palace and confront Yu Shaojian face to face." The officer lowered his head, "Your Majesty, Yu Shaojian has evil intentions and colluded with Zhang Thief to destroy our great Chu Jiangshan community. stay!"

Gu Li looked at him and called out his name: "Sun Gejian, you are not from Henan. Yu Guangle was in Henan for disaster relief and offended some people. I know it. But you are not from Henan, why bother to get involved? "

Sun Gejian lowered his head and said, "I don't know what your majesty is talking about. It is reasonable and reasonable for me to impeach Yu Shaojian, and it is also the duty of a courtier."

Gu Li nodded and said: "Okay. You said that Yu Guangle tipped off Zhang Thief, and to tell you the truth, it was my order."

The officer was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that Gu Li would resist this matter by himself.The old matter of Yu Guangle had been dug out with great effort by their boss, how could Gu Li be willing to expose it so lightly.The officer said: "What is your majesty's intention by doing this? I'm afraid he is trying to excuse Yu Shaojian?"

Gu Li said angrily: "Presumptuous! How dare you ask about my intentions?!"

The officer knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Gu Li snorted, and said coldly: "It's because I've always been too graceful, so I told you not to take me seriously."

Yan Guan broke out in cold sweat frequently, wet his temples.

Gu Li said: "Do you think why Zhang Ci'er didn't go south from Datong, Yanghe, Xuanfu, and Juyongguan to Beijing from the north, and then ordered the partial division to go north from Zhending and Baoding, in a situation of outflanking and restraining? Instead, he went north from Zhending, so that Our Great Chu Northern Route Army was able to go south to aid Beijing? Didn’t I order Yu Guangle to deliver the wrong news! Otherwise, how could the siege of the capital be solved so easily?”

Gu Li's explanation is still necessary.Although he was arrogant and scolded Sun Gejian, if he did not give a convincing reason, the officials could impeach him.If Xie Xingcun was here, and he scolded him for a few words, he would never kneel down and ask for forgiveness immediately, but would instead blame him for being self-willed and ruining the country.It is this grandson who advises that his bones are too soft.

Sun Gejian didn't dare to speak, Gu Li continued to beat him a few words: "Yu Guangle's disaster relief in Henan, cut off the business of the grain merchants, is for the local disaster victims, is to follow my will! You have repeatedly caught wind and impeached him, right? Is there a profit transfer with the local grain merchants? Is there collusion between the government and businessmen? Do you think I am blind?!"

What he said is serious. Since he has investigated several cases and promoted Jiang Yanshu to be the censor of the Zuodu of the Inspectorate, the officials in the capital are not cautious. This time, they help the local sages and gentry. That's all.

Gu Li dismissed Sun Gejian. After this incident, the Beijing officials understood his position and finally calmed down for a while.

Yu Guangle's local resistance is also much smaller. Seeing that the grain merchants can't jump up and down, they can only keep their tails between their tails and dare not do it again.Yu Guangle bought these people's food at market price and used it to help the victims.

In several disaster-stricken counties, he set up porridge sheds and assigned his confidantes to manage them.In addition to distributing rice porridge, he also obeyed Gu Li's order and brought a batch of potatoes to germinate, and distributed them to the victims, at least to help them survive this winter.

It is already late autumn when all these things are done. Everything here is going smoothly. Gu Li survived the flood crisis safely. In the first half of the year, he earned a lot of money from overseas trade alone. This year's economy is obviously much better than last year. , Taicang treasury filled up, he can also increase investment in military expenditures.

But things were not going well for Chen Feng.

After nearly five months of trekking at sea, I finally arrived in Europe.Unexpectedly, when he arrived in France, he heard that the Union Bank no longer belonged to him across the English Channel.

The subordinates he left replaced a group of high-level bank personnel. He did not touch the interests of those Protestant countries, so everyone turned a blind eye. As long as the military expenses for the war can be guaranteed, is the bank surnamed Chen? It doesn't matter.

Chen Feng immediately drove the boat to the Netherlands, sold most of the goods on the ship, and took the rarer ones as gifts, and promised a lot of benefits. Bought a firearm and went back to England, pulled Sir Roy to cooperate with others, forced his subordinates to abdicate, and recaptured the Union Bank.

This matter sounds simple, but it is actually very dangerous.However, Chen Feng has also experienced a lot of storms. Although he is only 20 years old, he is calm enough.After snatching the United Bank back, Chen Feng spent a month readjusting the manpower, and then rushed to Denmark without stopping.

He set his sights on the gold mines in America and wanted to divide the cake, but most of the gold mines in America and the silver mines in Potosi were controlled by the Spaniards. Dachu's silver mines accounted for [-]% of the total imports.

Although Da Chu has replaced silver with banknotes, such a huge silver resource is controlled by Spain, which is not a good thing for the development of Chen Feng's United Bank.

Spain stood on the same front as the Holy Roman Empire in the War of Religion and was a strong opponent of the Protestant countries.If he really wants to make money, it's not impossible - the Spaniard is very keen on Union Bank, and has contacted him privately several times.

But if he secretly communicates with the Spaniards, this matter will be broken, and these Protestant countries will not give him good fruit to eat.Chen Feng could only save the country in a curve, and joined the Battle of Vogast to help the Protestant country Denmark against the Holy Roman Emperor, thereby attacking Spain, which was united with the Catholic country.

Chen Feng fought on two fronts. Apart from stirring up wind and rain during the war, he sent people to buy a batch of new firearms, bought blueprints, and sent them to Dachu. In addition, he started the company he had been planning for a long time.
