"Hey" Zhao Hao's words sounded good, but they always made people feel strange, and the two old Master Pan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "The business of losing money and making a profit is really harmful to your health. Otherwise, Liu Daxia wouldn't have burned Zheng He's navigational charts."
"However, thick and thin is not all bad. At least the golden sign of 'Heavenly Kingdom' is deeply rooted in the hearts of people in Nanyang." Zhao Hao smiled and said: "This is Ming's most valuable asset overseas, worth more than one million Great army!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand heavily and said categorically: "Since the imperial court doesn't cherish it, then we will accept it! Let the group come to Nanyang as the protector of all countries!"
?? If the Nanyang countries are happy to welcome the king's army to land, it will certainly cost much less than knocking on the country's door with ships and cannons. Moreover, with the guise of the Celestial Empire, it will be much easier to maintain and govern Nanyang in the future. They are simply golden fingers for colonizing Southeast Asia, oh no, golden thighs!
It¡¯s just Master Wang, he can¡¯t be as simple and crude as the invaders, although the purpose is similar
Now Pan Zhongzhen and Pan Jixun understood that it turned out that Mr. Zhao¡¯s purpose was not to drive away the Spaniards, but his real purpose was to replace them, and to do so in a grand and public way, so that people would beg him.
"Thisisn't this what you want to do and build a memorial arch at the same time?" Pan Zhongzhen, an upright old man, is naturally a little ashamed of this kind of behavior.
"It's normal. From the imperial court to the local government, even among the great Confucians and gentry, who is not sanctimonious on the surface, but sucks people's marrow more fiercely than the last?" Pan Jixun, however, was not surprised and said: "Since you have made a foresight, then suck up people's bones." Keep your sleeves dry! Give us a mission quickly."
"Hey, we have to wait until the butt is well-educated." Mr. Zhao said with a smile.
"It's the tail vertebrae, not the butt!" Pan Jixun emphasized depressedly, throwing a drawing on the bedside to him and said: "Besides, will I delay my work by lying on my stomach?"
Mr. Zhao took it and took a look. It turned out to be a water conservancy map in Chaozhou Prefecture.
"Oh, my father is the one who gave birth to me, and my father is the one who knows me!" Mr. Zhao looked at the densely marked project plan above and couldn't help but said as if he had found a treasure: "I was worried about how to talk to you, old man!"
"I knew that if you lured me here, you would definitely need to build water conservancy projects again, so I adjusted the drawings in the house in advance and planned it in advance." Pan Jixun said: "Of course, if you really want to do it, you will definitely need to conduct on-site inspections."
"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded vigorously with a smile on his face, listening to Mr. Pan talk eloquently:
"It can be clearly seen from this map that the eleven counties of Chaozhou Prefecture are divided into three plains arranged in a Z-shaped pattern - Hanjiang Plain, Rongjiang Plain and Lianjiang Plain. According to Chaozhou Prefecture According to statistics from the Yellow Book, the population living in these three small plains accounts for 90% of the entire Chaozhou Prefecture."
"After a pause, Pan Jixun continued: "Although it is a bit cruel to say this, it is obvious that the focus of management is on the plains, which account for half of Chaozhou Prefecture, and the benefits are much higher than grabbing beards and eyebrows."
"Alas." Pan Zhongzhen sighed and said nothing. He himself was too idealistic and it was always difficult to accept this injustice, which was why he gave up his career halfway.
"Among these three small plains, the one that Chaozhou Prefecture can effectively control is naturally the Hanjiang Plain where the prefecture is located. Its people have been transformed into kings for a long time, and their temperament is relatively docile Oh no, gentle, not violent."
"Relatively" Mr. Zhao couldn't help but smacked his lips, thinking of those unscrupulous people in the villages near the Han River who dared to block the road and rob Yu Dayou twice. It can¡¯t be called ¡®moderate and non-violent¡¯ anyway, right?
"Of course, the remote Rongjiang Plain and the Lianjiang Plain in the south are far away from the jurisdiction of Chaozhou Prefecture, and bandits and water bandits are rampant, so the local situation is very complicated." Pan Jixun waved his hands in a classy manner and said: "So you and your father have no choice but to work hard in the Hanjiang Plain first! It's like taking part in Qiu Wei. If you do well in this exam, you will be able to solve the next two. If you don't do well in this exam, you will be in trouble in the other two. There¡¯s no need to take any exams.¡±
"Yes." Pan Zhonghe also nodded and said: "And you have also seen that through this battle to defend Chaozhou, your father has also established a high prestige in Fucheng. Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, hurry up and do something here. Things are being done right. Who knows if people will buy it after this momentum has passed."
"Yes, we need to get started quickly." Zhao Hao carefully put away the water conservancy map and said, "I will take this back and let those guys have a look. I will satisfy their eyes first and seduce their souls."
"Let's do everything we planned before coming here." Then he asked Pan Zhongzhen, "You always said, which one should we start with?"
"Of course it's the academy." Pan Zhongzhen said rudely: "You were not here at that time, and you didn't see the group of scholars from Chaozhou Prefecture.In the room, Mr. Zhao returned to Tongzhi Yamen. The disciples had originally arranged a house for him in the city, but he had to stay with Mr. Zhao for a few nights before he could move out, right?
So he let most of his entourage go to settle down at the 'Consort Xu's Mansion', while he lived with his father, accompanied by his two sisters.
Similar to the county magistrate's office, the Tongzhi Yamen is also within the magistrate's office, occupying only a small side courtyard with three entrances. There were already a lot of guards and attendants packed in,
When a large group of people like Zhao Hao moved in, it suddenly seemed very crowded.
"But Zhao Hao couldn't care about this, because as expected, Second Master Zhao was drunk again. The four strong maids left by the eldest princess, Xiaoqing, Xiaobai, Xiaohong and Xiaohei, helped him clean up with quick hands and feet, but Mr. Zhao cried and shouted for his son.
Mr. Zhao had no choice but to let the four maids, who averaged 1.8 meters in height and weighed 180 in weight, leave first, and he accompanied his father to play drunkenly.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shouzheng took his hand and became quiet.
ps. There is another update, but it won¡¯t be too early. Go to bed quickly. There will definitely be an update tomorrow morning. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
