History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

"...Take advantage of this opportunity, we have arranged a total of more than 300 students in the thirteen provinces, most of whom are Jinshi cultivated in the past ten years."

"Including the students who followed the past, a total of nearly 2000 people were released."

This is a meeting, a small round table meeting, all the secretaries who have been responsible for helping Minning deal with the following matters over the years.

Listening to their respective reports, Minning sat at the top and listened.

She opened the notebook in front of her. It recorded which students went to which places?

After turning a few pages, Minning nodded, and waited for everyone to finish their reports before she said: "The following group of students are all new officials, they must be supervised carefully, and they must not be corrupted by money and beauty. .Every student is cultivated by us, and the skills we learn will have different reactions. If there is a problem, it will be bigger than the problem caused by a mediocre official."

The people below nodded repeatedly.

Min Ning continued: "Talents must continue to be cultivated. Our talent reserve is not enough. Now this stock is far from enough to meet the needs of the market. Now the entire Qing Dynasty is short of people, and the most lacking is a large number of talents. , The ones that have been cultivated now can meet their own needs, it is best to expand and promote these talents to other forces."

"When I go back to my employer, I've already started to invest in universities, and I've started investing in universities that are joint ventures with some businessmen. In the next ten years, there will be a blowout of the talents we cultivate."

"You continue to follow up on these, we are discussing the next five-year plan."

"In the next five years, personnel training will continue to follow up, railway construction will continue, and there will be a large investment in building a navy..."

A day passed in a blink of an eye, and Minning returned to the garden after the meeting. The tasks of the previous years have come to an end, and it is time to plan the next task. Now it is at a turning point. This is a brand new era. Everyone I'm a little confused, so I need Minning to give me some pointers.

For the sake of convenience, Minning moved to Yuanmingyuan, and the meeting place was also chosen in a house not far from Yuanmingyuan.

Rubbing his forehead, this is already the fourth day of the meeting, and there are still some things that have not been completed.

Minning thought about when to hold a bigger meeting and recruit more people to solve these problems.

After another three days, Minning breathed a sigh of relief when the unresolved issues were finally settled.

After returning to Yuanmingyuan, she didn't expect fourth master to come too.

After being stunned for a moment, she asked, "Didn't I tell you everything, I'm staying here in Yuanmingyuan for a few days and I'm returning to the palace."

Fourth Master put down the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at her, "There are some things I want to discuss with you, have you settled all your business matters in the past few days?"

Minning looked away as if nothing had happened, took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, washed his hands, and then walked up to Fourth Master and spoke.

"It's been dealt with. Now that the business is getting bigger and bigger, I can only keep track of it so that it doesn't get derailed."

The fourth master nodded, and then talked about the purpose of his visit this time, "A letter came from Wa Kingdom, saying that they want to use the Tokugawa family to take control of Wa Kingdom. I came here to hear your opinion." .”

Minning raised his eyebrows, "What's going on?"

The fourth master told the detailed situation, and Minning touched his finger, and replied: "It is indeed feasible in a short period of time, but if you want to long-term, it is impossible."

Then he expressed his own opinion, "Waguo is very weird. The emperor is worshiped like a stone statue in a temple. However, no matter which regime is in power, it is in the name of the emperor. The Tokugawa family is now prosperous. If it is true If it can be maintained, it can indeed be added to the Wa Kingdom, and it is in the hands. I am afraid that the regime of the Wa Kingdom will change and will rebel, and the thoughts spent in the past will be wasted, and our country’s political power may be out of my hands."

Fourth master nodded in agreement. In fact, he also thought so.

"But..." Minning's voice changed.

Fourth Master looked up at her, "If you have any ideas, just say it."

While sorting out his thoughts, Minning expressed his thoughts, "For the time being, we can rely on the Tokugawa family to hold the Wa Kingdom in our hands, and then implement two strategies."

Fourth master asked which two ways?

Minning replied: "Promote the official language, let the people of the Wa country also speak our country's official language, learn Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, and vigorously develop trade, so that the Wa country can rely on our trade economically, and to what extent, it is best if that If there are changes, we can make them starve to death after a short period of trade here."

Just from the Song Dynasty, it can be seen that Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism imprisoned the thought of the Central Plains, and starting from the economy, the two locks were on the Japanese country. I don't believe that our country can still get rid of the Qing Dynasty and develop independently.

The fourth master thought for a while. As a ruler, he naturally likes Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. He immediately understood the power of this trick, and then asked the former, "Aren't all the books of the Japanese country passed down from our country?" Still need to work hard Send the book over again?

Min Ning shook his head, "The ideas accepted by the Wa Kingdom were passed down from the Tang Dynasty. More than 1000 years have passed, and some ideas are quite different from those in the Central Plains today."

Fourth Master nodded, "Just as you said, check it out first."

After dealing with the matter of the Wa Kingdom, Minning asked about the war in Tibet.

The fourth master replied: "Yue Zhongqi went to Tibet half a month ago, and now there will be news." Speaking of this, he hesitated for a while before speaking, "After the firearm exploded this time, it will definitely cause different reactions. What are your thoughts on the restructuring of the Eight Banners Battalion?"

Min Ning took a serious look at Fourth Master, and then said: "Master, you'd better discuss with the Supreme Emperor about the restructuring of the Eight Banners soldiers. Without the support of the Supreme Emperor, it will be very difficult for you to make it."

Fourth Master nodded, he understood the truth.

It has been less than a year since the Supreme Emperor abdicated, and he is so busy with the Eight Banners Camp, what does the Supreme Emperor think?

"Waiting for the news of Yue Zhongqi's victory, I will send a letter to the Supreme Emperor, explaining the benefits of firearms in detail, and then I will mention that I plan to let the imperial army use firearms instead."

It was obvious that fourth master was planning to set aside the firearm battalion and form a new army that used firearms.

It is reasonable to use the imperial army to take the knife, because the imperial army is dedicated to protecting the safety of the emperor and the palace.

If the reform of the Forbidden Army is really completed, it will probably be promoted to the Eight Banners in an all-round way.

"Since you can make a decision, I will definitely support you." Minning thought his idea was a good one, and reforming the imperial army would not offend the emperor's sensitive nerves.

Let Fourth Master use the Forbidden Army to find out first, so that he can increase his experience and spread it to the Eight Banners Battalion.

"Third brother, I think this is a bit dangerous, or is it like calling for help?"

Hong Shi quietly hid in a corner, and then told Hong Kyung beside him.

Hong Kyung stared at the shop in front of him with a good look. This is a wine shop, selling loose wine and the like.

They both completed the tasks that Steward Xue gave to the younger brothers before, so they took the initiative to ask for new tasks.

As a result, he ran into a wall on the new task.

The old man of this restaurant is a staid old man, when the two of them first came to the door, the old man beat them out as liars.

This old man is simply a penny-pinching rooster. He hid his money directly, and even the bank didn't want to believe it.

He said that depositing silver in the bank was defrauding him of money, and he didn't care about the little interest.

Is this the first time you've met someone who doesn't like banks?

The two ran five or six times in total, but they were driven out by the old man each time.

Even the shop next to them began to persuade the little brothers again. Old man Ge was not only hot-tempered but also stingy. If it wasn't for his good wine making skills, even their old neighbors would not want to buy his wine.

Hongshi was a little disheartened, and after hitting a wall several times in a row, he thought about asking for help from above.

Hong Jing refused to give up, "If you think about it again, you will definitely be able to pry open a crack in Old Man Ge."

However, Hongshi was not sure: "It's not that easy, haven't we all investigated it? Old man Ge has no children, so he just guards this wine shop, and only goes to the Zhang family's recipes every day. It’s not a big deal. No one believes this kind of person, how can we persuade him to switch to paper money?”

Hong Jing frowned and shook his head, "It must be that we used the wrong method before. Old man Ge's business is one of the best in this street. There are many people who come to buy wine. If he is left out, it will be very difficult for such a family to use banknotes. It is easy to discourage the enthusiasm of the people to use banknotes."

Hongshi rolled his eyes and said, "What can we do? Old Man Ge refuses to use it. Can we still force him to use it? I have already told him that if he doesn't believe in banknotes, he can get them when he receives them." The bank went to change it, but he didn't listen at all, so what's the use of all our saliva?"

Hong Jing crossed his arms and looked at Hong Shi, "There must be a way. We have settled so many families, so why are you afraid of breaking the halberd here?"

Hong Shi had a flash of inspiration, as if thinking of something, he pulled Hong Jing's arm and said, "Hey, third brother, you said that if we pretend to be thieves and steal old man Ge's money, I don't believe that the money was lost , He still dares to put silver at home."

Hong Kyung withdrew his arm, and looked at Hong Shi with an expression of "you're joking", "If you want to do it, I won't stop you, but if Khan Ama finds out and breaks your leg later, I won't either. Help you talk about love!"

Hongshi was startled, and then quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I'm joking!" He still had a fresh memory of the last time Khan Ama hit him with a paperweight.

Who knows if there are people sent by Khan Ama around him, if he is reported to Khan Ama, it may really break his calf.

Hong Kyung continued to look at the wine shop diagonally opposite.

And at this moment, a young man who seemed to be in a good mood walked into the wine shop with two attendants.

Hong Kyung narrowed his eyes and said, "There's something wrong with this person!"

Hongshi stretched out his head and looked over, "Where? Where?"

"People have already gone in, wait a while and see the situation."

About ten minutes later, there was the sound of the wine urn being smashed inside, and a mellow aroma of wine soon spread to the street.

Many people sniffed their noses and smelled it.

Hong Kyung and Hong Shi also joined the crowd, and saw the situation in the restaurant through the crowd.

I saw that in the wine shop, the young man who was sloppy just now had broken wine urns at his feet, and the ground was even more wet.

"Old man, quickly take out the silver, or I will smash all the wine in your wine cellar!"

Hong Kyung and Hong Shi looked at each other, wondering where the idiot came from, his tone was so crazy, he kept saying that he was going to smash up other people's shops.

But before, the old man who was not polite to Hong Jinghong at all, sat on the ground and sighed, not only did not ask for help outside, but also did not talk to the young people in the house.

"What happened?" Seeing the boss next door sighing, Hong Kyung patted the boss next door on the shoulder and asked.

The boss next door took a look, isn't this the bank boy?He said: "You still don't give up and come to persuade old man Ge?"

Hong Kyung smiled and said, "This is our job, we can't give up halfway." Then he looked into the restaurant and asked, "Who are these people? So rampant?"

The boss next door gave him a thumbs up first, and then looked over and answered, "This young man is Old Man Ge's nephew. Old Man Ge fought in war when he was young. When he came back, his family starved to death. For this nephew, he didn't marry, and relied on his ancestral winemaking skills to save up his savings to raise his nephew."

"It's just that his nephew was fine when he was a child. When he grew up, he was infected with gambling by some wanderers on the street. Man, once he got involved in gambling, he was useless. At first he had a little conscience, until now Even the conscience was eaten by dogs! Old man Ge dragged him up with shit and urine, and he followed a group of gangsters to blackmail the old neighbors all day long. Didn't old man Ge pay back the money from the blackmail? If he has money, he will go to gamble, and if he has no money, he will come to search for Old Man Ge. Some time ago, Old Man Ge had a serious illness, and the savings in his hands were almost spent, so he didn’t give it to his nephew. This is not a wolf-hearted thing , and brought people to force uncle to ask for money!"

The boss next door shook his head, as if he couldn't bear to look any further, and sighed.

Hong Kyung asked again, "The government doesn't care?"

The boss next door said, "Why didn't I take care of it. At the beginning, I was even arrested and sent to the yamen a few times, but old man Ge spent money to redeem him. After a few times, the government didn't bother to take care of it." Said In the end, it was all old man Ge's own fault. If he hadn't looked at his nephew like that, he wouldn't have fallen to where he is today.

The boss next door thought of his fat son again. Sure enough, he had to rely on beating to educate his son. He was not willing to beating or scolding him.

It was only then that Hong Jing realized that it was no wonder that old man Ge was so weird and unwilling to trust others. It seemed that it was also caused by the experiences of these years.

Inside the wine shop, Old Man Ge's nephew picked up a wine jug on the counter and smashed it on the ground. There was a splash, the wine was spilled on the ground again, and the smell of wine came to his face again. The boss next door smelled the wine and looked intoxicated.

Hong Kyung also couldn't help sniffing, no wonder old man Ge is still willing to support even though people hate him, such skill is really worth it.

"Third Brother, this is a good opportunity!" Hong Shi leaned into Hong Kyung's ear and whispered.

Hong Jing obviously also found out that the two of them had checked Old Man Ge before, and it was true that he had no children, and then he did not expect that he had a nephew. It seems that the old neighbors on the street really hate Old Man Ge's nephew, and they don't even want to mention it. carry.

"What can you do?" Hong Kyung asked him.

Hongshi made a smirk, and then said, "Since Old Man Ge's weakness is his nephew, then we will find the government to arrest Old Man Ge's nephew."

Hong Kyung didn't understand, and asked him with his eyes.

Hongshi explained, "Didn't you say it all? Old man Ge can't do anything about this nephew, so he will ask the government to arrest him and issue a fine that Old Man Ge can't pay back. Old man Ge will definitely save him. At that time, we came to the door and told the old man that as long as he is willing to use banknotes to trade, then we can use the bank's channel to help him push the wine to various food stores. Wouldn't it be possible to earn more money quickly? ?”

Hong Kyung was really an eye-opener, "You are making trouble!"

Hongshi disagreed, saying: "I'm clearly seizing the opportunity, not to mention that it's not a disadvantage to Old Man Ge. At worst, let's send his nephew to the bank training team, maybe we can give him back as a prodigal nephew." Maybe!"

Although Hongshi's idea was an eye-opener for Hongkyung, it has to be said that Hongshi's method is indeed a good one.

Although I felt sorry for Old Man Ge, it was because Old Man Ge was too stubborn that they had to find another way.

"To find the government, should you go or should I go?" Hong Kyung asked him in a low voice while staring at the situation in the restaurant.

Hongshi patted his chest and said, "I'll go. I'll go there in the name of the bank. I'll report the case and arrest the old man's nephew. I'll hint at my identity at that time, but the government will detain him for a while."

Hong Kyung patted him on the shoulder and told him, "Don't reveal your identity."

"Don't worry, I will go there as a clan, and promise not to reveal my true identity."

Hong Kyung nodded, "I'll hurry you there first. According to the time, the people patrolling the Shuntian Mansion should be around here."

Hiroshi nodded, turned and left.

Hong Kyung continued to check the movement in the restaurant, and then looked at the street, if he saw people on patrol, he could just as well lure them over.

"Old man, quickly take out the money. You have been delaying it for three days. You said it yourself before. As long as I don't ask for protection money from people on this street, you will hand over the money you earn every month." Give me."

Hong Kyung frowned, a young man was so confident that he let an old man take care of him.

For the royal family who pay attention to governing the world with filial piety, this is simply treason!

The old man Ge who had been silent in the wine shop finally said, "Xiao Bing, please allow me to wait for two more days. The money I earned during this time has been used to buy food. How can I make money by making wine without buying food?"

The old man Ge's nephew waved his hand, "Don't give me such a trick, half a month's money is enough for you to buy food, don't tell me you spent all the money you earn in a month?"

"At the beginning of the month, I fell ill, and the only money left in my hand was used to see the doctor. I was locked up for half a month, and I didn't make any money. Now I really have no money in my hand. You can wait for two more days. After a batch of wine in the wine cellar is sold, I will have money for you." Old man Ge put his hands on the ground and wanted to get up.

Old Man Ge's nephew impatiently kicked Old Man Ge and kicked him to the ground.

With a "bang", old man Ge hit his head on the ground, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Hong Kyung outside fixed his eyes on Old Man Ge's nephew.

Be damned human!

Anyway, old man Ge also raised him up, so he dared to kick him up.

Simply not human!

Not only Hong Kyung thought the same, but people around him talked about it.

"Ge Bing is already inhumane, even beating his own uncle!"

"No, no matter what is wrong with old man Ge, he is really kind to him!"

"Hurry up and call the officer. I can't listen to old man Ge this time. He said that Ge Bing is still young. Every time I listen to it, I feel ashamed and panic. Ge Bing has already married a wife and had children, so old man Ge still treats him as a Like a child!"

"I can't help it. Old man Ge was injured when he was a soldier and lost his fertility. Ge Bing is the only child of the Ge family. If he doesn't raise him, who will raise him?"

Then someone whispered, "I heard that old man Ge committed crimes on the battlefield and was haunted by ghosts. Otherwise, the whole family would not have died, leaving a nephew who is still a debt collector!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you."

……

All kinds of remarks reached Hong Kyung's ears, and he couldn't help being a little suspicious. Could there be something else going on inside?

However, he doesn't need to ask about this matter, he just needs to complete his task.

"Everyone give way!"

Hearing Hong Shi's voice, Hong Jing followed the prestige and saw Hong Shi pushed aside a few people, revealing the yamen servant behind him.

Seeing the official messenger approaching, many people retreated one after another.

Hongshi stood at the door of the restaurant, pointed to the inside and said, "Guardian, these are the boys inside."

The onlookers pointed and pointed, thinking that the officials would not bother to ask. After all, someone had reported to the officials before, but after reading it just now, they didn't bother to pay attention.

Unexpectedly, after Hongshi finished speaking, the leading official waved his hand and led his men into the restaurant, arresting Ge Bing and the two gangsters behind him.

"Why arrest us? This is my own wine shop!"

"Ge Bing, you've committed a crime. If you have anything to do, go to the court to discuss it!"

Ge Bing was so frightened that he peed his pants, turned his head and shouted to the old man Ge on the ground, "Uncle, I don't want to go to the Yamen, come and save me, don't you have money? Quickly spend money to save me!"

Ge old man was kicked by Ge Bing earlier, and he is still lying on the ground and cannot get up.

Seeing his nephew being taken away, old man Ge also became anxious and struggled for a long time to remember.

It's a pity that at this time those yamen servants had already grabbed Ge Bing and the three of them and left.

As soon as Ge Bing was arrested, there were applause and applause outside. It can be seen that Ge Bing really hates dogs.

There are no more surprises to see, and the big guys have also dispersed.

Hongshi was still standing in front of the restaurant, looking at the decorations in the restaurant curiously.

Hong Kyung walked in and helped Old Man Ge up on the ground.

After the old man Ge got up, he pushed Hong Jing's hand away, and then scolded Hong Shi, "Who told you to call the official, that's my nephew, now it's over, he was taken away, are you proud?"

"Hey, you old man, you really don't know what's good and what's wrong. If you don't call the officials, you'll be beaten to death by your nephew?" He really didn't know good people, and Hong Shi was so angry that he was about to jump.

Old man Ge ignored him at all, found a broom, swept the debris aside, then drove the two of them out, and closed the door.

Hong Shi angrily pointed at the closed door, and said to Hong Kyung, "Hey, who is this?"

Hong Kyung didn't take it to heart, Caihong was away just now, so he didn't hear those words.

He already had some guesses in his mind as to why old man Ge treated his nephew obediently.

"Let's go!" Hong Kyung said to Hong Shi.

Hiroshi asked, "Wait no longer?"

Hong Kyung stepped forward, "There's no need to wait, you have to hit a wall before you can sit down and have a good talk with us."

After returning to the bank, Hong Jing said all the guesses in his heart, and Hong Shi touched his chin, "You mean, old man Ge also thinks that he is not good, and he has dragged his family, which led to the disappearance of his nephew Ge Bing." Parents, so he allowed Ge Bing to blackmail, because he had the idea of ​​atonement?"

Hong Kyung nodded, "This is my guess, although I don't know what the situation is, but my fortune is close to ten."

Hongshi pouted, and then waved his hand, "Whether he has the idea of ​​atonement or not, it would be better if he did, I'll go to Old Man Ge later, and I'll make sure he agrees."

Hong Kyung thought the same way, "Those, after working for such a long time, it's time to rest for two days. Let's stay at home for these two days and go to old man Ge after two days."

Old man Ge hit a wall in the Yamen, especially when he learned that his nephew had stolen something from a nobleman.

Ge Bing has already made a bet, admitting that the money sold has been lost to the gambling house.

Now the nobleman is absolutely unwilling to bypass his nephew unless the original price is compensated.

When Old Man Ge asked about the need for 3000 taels of silver, he wished he could bump his head to death.

How much wine can he sell for such an astronomical sum of money?

But if he did not hand over the money, Ge Bing would be beaten fifty times, and then exiled for thousands of miles for theft.

The Ge family has only one single seedling, exiled for thousands of miles, and the journey is far away. I don't know if I can save my life. Old man Ge naturally wants to save him.

But the government only gave him three months, how could he get 3000 taels of silver in three months?

After Old Man Ge returned home, he went around looking for money from his neighbors, but knowing that he was going to redeem his nephew, no one was willing to borrow money.

Old Man Ge returned disappointed, and stood in front of the wine shop. This shop was the only valuable thing in his hands.

In the past few years, housing prices in the capital have risen rapidly. The old man Ge bought this shop for more than 40 taels, but now it has risen to almost 200 taels.

However, even if the shop is sold, there is still a difference of 800 taels, not to mention, it will not be so easy to sell the shop in a short time.

Just when old man Ge was blinded, Hong Jing and Hong Shi, a pair of little brothers, came to the door again.

"...As long as you are willing to cooperate with the bank, we will help you sell the wine to various high-end restaurants, and even give you a low-interest loan to help you build a winery. As long as the wine leaves the factory, 3000 taels of silver It's easy to earn."

Old Man Ge stared at the two of them, and he already had a guess in his heart that what happened to his nephew must be the fault of these two children.

But he also saw that the identities of these two people were extraordinary, and he was devastated when they raised their hands, which was definitely not something he could resist.

Thinking of this, old man Ge lowered his head, he only made one request, that is to extend the time of his nephew's exile until he has enough money.

It was just a small matter, and Hiroshi readily agreed.

After solving this matter, the two brothers looked at each other and felt as if the door to a new world had been opened. It turned out that some things did not need to be done in a standard way, just like some people's temperament is as smelly as the stones in the latrine. If you are tough, then you should pinpoint the weak point and hit it in one fell swoop, there is no need to waste your tongue with them.

The fourth master looked at the brochure in his hand, which had not been moved for a long time. The content on the brochure was the experience of the two children, Hong Jing and Hong Shi, during this period.

Fourth Master stared at the words on the booklet, and couldn't believe how fast his two sons had grown up.

In the past few months, the two children were still cheated by others. I didn't expect that after a few months, now that they have learned how to play tricks.

Although this method seems immature to fourth master, it has to be said that it is very effective for ordinary people.

Fourth Master didn't think that what his son did was wrong, on the contrary, he was a little appreciative. Those who do big things should not stick to small things.

No matter what means are used in the middle, as long as the ultimate goal is achieved.

However, he clearly understood that this matter must not be told to An Jiashi, An Jiashi had great expectations of Hong Kyung, if he knew that Hong Kyung had used such low-level means, what would happen?

Fourth master closed the booklet and ordered the stick to clean up the matter.

However, the fourth master sent the people at the sticky pole to be beside the two sons, but he forgot that the bank was full of Minning's eyeliner.

Since the two children are so old, their actions must be reported to their supervisors.

No, the supervisor quickly reported the matter.

Minning looked at the letter in her hand, her face was expressionless, which made the atmosphere in the whole palace very depressing.

The maids in the palace didn't dare to show their anger, they only secretly hoped that someone would come in and save them.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Jia Jinlu walked into the hall in a hurry, and knelt down first after entering, "I have something to report, my slave."

Minning put down the letterhead and turned around, "Get up, what's the matter?"

Jia Jinlu stood up, bent slightly, and took out a letter from his sleeve.

"Returning to the master, Master Zheng Jun sent a letter, and he was rushed to Beijing."

Minning winked at the maid next to her, and the maid immediately went to Jia Jinlu and took the letter, "My lady, please."

Minning took the letter, tore open the envelope, and pulled out the letter inside to open it.

Zheng Jun has been staying in the south of the Yangtze River for the past two years. Last year, he married Bi Ying and took over his old lady who stayed in the capital.

After he arrived in Jiangnan, he took over all the work in Jiangnan, vigorously developed agriculture, and actively let the bank's business reach the town.

Integrate cloth shops, car dealers, paper shops, etc., together with other industries to set up various trade unions, integrate everyone's resources together, and make the Jiangnan shopping mall look brand new.

It can be said that Zheng Jun became the leader of the south of the Yangtze River.

Although it is only a few industries, the influence on Jiangnan can be said to be great with the basic necessities of life in hand.

The letter was the first to talk about family matters, announcing the good news that Biying was pregnant.

Then the following conversation was changed, and one incident was mentioned, saying that there were many foreigners in the south of the Yangtze River. These foreigners sent many gifts to local officials, and asked the officials to write to ask their colleagues in Beijing and China what the imperial court thinks about the new continent.

Zheng Jun found out that the matter was wrong, so he wrote this letter.

Minning became vigilant. Why did foreigners suddenly ask such a thing? It was nothing more than planning to attack the Qing people in the New World, and it might even be that several countries in Europe joined forces.

After all, there are gold and silver mines sleeping in the Americas, and foreigners will not hand over these treasures to others.

Now that there are frequent actions, that can only be a problem, that is, whether the imperial court pays attention to the New World, if not, it can only show that the Qing people appearing in the New World are the actions of the people themselves.

If it was really a civil action, Minning was sure that those foreigners would never be polite.

Half a world away, even if people from the Qing Dynasty were killed, it could be pushed off to the fact that these people were in shipwreck.

However, how do foreigners know that Minning in the New World will definitely not let go. In South America alone, that piece of fertile land can be planted in winter, which just happens to solve the problem that the Qing Dynasty cannot grow grain in winter.

If South America falls into the hands of the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that the Qing Dynasty has obtained another granary. In addition to the land of Australia, if the two large pieces of land in the southern hemisphere are all planted with grain, then even if the Qing Dynasty doubles its population, it will not be afraid to feed it. So many mouths full.

After thinking about the foreigner's movements, Minning felt that he really wanted to hit the foreigner.

Lest these people really act boldly and unite to attack the merchant ships of the Qing Dynasty.

"Go ask Long Live Lord to come here." Minning raised his head and said to Jia Jinlu.

Jia Jinlu responded, don't start to retreat, and only turned to leave when he retreated to the door.

When fourth master came over, Minning had already put away the previous letter.

Regarding the matter of the two children, she doesn't want to tell fourth master now, but plans to take another look. If Hong Jing really made a mistake and walks to the path, she will beat him again.

The most important thing right now is the matter of the New World.

Jia Jinlu never came back, Minning waited impatiently, and planned to send someone to invite Fourth Master again.

Just at this time, the eunuch outside sang, "Long live God is here!"

Minning got up and went to the door.

The fourth master strode in, "What's the purpose of calling me here?" He thought that Minning knew about the two children, so he planned to steal the show.
