Chapter 1401 Zhao Liben comes out

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is late autumn, and the golden osmanthus is fragrant in the Zhaoqing Governor's Mansion, and the ground is covered with chrysanthemums.

    It had just rained yesterday, and the weather was rarely that hot anymore. The luxurious living room at the back of the Governor's Mansion was even more windy from all directions. However, Lin Hongzhong kept wiping his forehead with a handkerchief and straightened his neck from time to time to look behind the screen.

    He arrived early this morning.  Originally, you could take a boat up the river from Macau and come to Zhaoqing comfortably.  But after riding a horse all night in order to meet the deadline, his pampered body was about to fall apart.

    Because Hall Master Lin is almost dying of anxiety.  There has been a lot of bad news these days. First, Lin Daoqian sent someone to tell him that the Jiangnan Group's fleet had moved south, and he ordered his subordinates to fight against it. However, he was defeated due to his inferior skills.  The opponent is currently stationed on Nan'ao Island and may attack Xiawei at any time.

    This shocked Lin Hongzhong and the Portuguese in Macau. They originally thought that after Zhao Hao conquered Ryukyu, it would take him a year or two before he could go south.  Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao not only had strong digestion ability, but also had an amazing appetite. He actually went south to Fujian and Guangdong without stopping.

    Fortunately, since they learned that Zhao Hao had captured Ryukyu, the Portuguese began to actively prepare for war - after losing Japan's trading port, Naha Port became extremely important, and they must show a posture of not willing to fight to defend it.  Freedom of navigation and trade in East Asian waters.

    Next came the governor's office. In view of the gathering of pirates outside the Pearl River Estuary, which might lead to chaos, Lin Zhongcheng decided to quickly mobilize Lin Daogan, who had been in the limelight some time ago, to relocate to Tuen Mun to prevent pirates from entering the Pearl River Estuary and invading the vicinity of the provincial capital.

    Lin Hongzhong learned the bad news immediately through his informant in the governor's Yamen.  For the Wuyang Trading Company, which had been actively seeking to acquire Tuen Mun Island, this was nothing less than a bolt from the blue.

    Originally, Lin Hongzhong planned to change the current situation in Macau by vacating the cage and changing the bird. After arriving in Tuen Mun, he quietly changed the situation to Wuyangtong Commercial House.  That would be of great benefit to him in terms of public opinion pressure, business environment, and distribution of interests with the Portuguese.

    ¡°After all, in this extremely proud Ming Dynasty, if a person is labeled as a Japanese devil, he will always be one head shorter than others.

    Who would have thought that Lin Daoqian would actually pick the peach for something he had planned for so long?

    After Lin Hongzhong heard the news, he immediately realized that when he went to Xiamei last month, the reason why Lin Daoqian had an ambiguous attitude was because he had already hooked up with the governor of Guangdong!

    Although Lin Hongzhong wants to win over Lin Daoqian to join forces to deal with the Jiangnan Group, Tuen Mun is the most important.  If Lin Daoqian were allowed to occupy that place, facing Macau across the Pearl River Estuary, not only would his plans be ruined, but the existing business with the Folangji people would also be greatly affected.

    So he couldn't sit still after hearing the news, and came to Zhaoqing overnight to ask for a meeting with Yin Butang, hoping that this big backer with a strong stake could prevent these things from happening.

    However, the long wait and no sign of the Governor made him have a bad premonition.

    After waiting for an unknown amount of time, he finally heard footsteps and quickly stood up to greet them.  Just as he was about to knock his head to the ground, he saw that the person who walked out was not Yin Zhengmao, but his aide Master Jin.

    "Ah, it's Brother Yukun." Lin Hongzhong quickly concealed his disappointment and said with a smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you?"

    "It's been a long time, Master Lin." Mr. Jin was wearing a pair of tortoiseshell glasses. His eyes were hidden behind the thick lenses, hiding the message in his eyes.

    After he and Lin Hongzhong sat down, he said directly: "Master Lin is here today to ask for an audience with the minister, right? Unfortunately, the minister is traveling with the distinguished guest."

    "Oh?" Lin Hongzhong said slightly surprised: "May I ask who this distinguished guest is? Can he have such great honor?"

    "Haha" Master Jin smiled teasingly and did not answer.

    "Look at my memory." Lin Hongzhong slapped his forehead, took out a gift slip from his sleeve and said, "We have another batch of rare things from overseas. We have already picked up a few exquisite and interesting ones and sent them to Brother Yukun's house."

    Master Jin took it and opened the gift list and took a look at it. In addition to the Western chime bells, glass mirrors and various South Sea gems and spices, there was also a Burmese bell, a treasure that he had been looking for for a long time.

    ¡°I heard that most of the Tai Chi pills sold in China are fake, I don¡¯t know how to tell them apart?¡± Master Jin only asked this question.

    "Mianling" is called "Tai Chi Pill" in the mouths of respectable people. It has always been a good gift among officials, and it is even seen in public.  Precisely because of the high demand among scholar-bureaucrats, fakes flooded the market.

    Master Jin seems to have been deceived. He seems to be very knowledgeable: "I heard that Burmese men embed it in their power to support their glory. Only when they kill the Burmese barbarians and take it alive can they keep it true"

    "Brother Yukun, don't worry, we will definitely keep the truth." Lin Hongzhong patted his chest and said, "It's what the Folangji people said when they cut off Burma and Yi!"?.  "Zhao Liben was wearing big sunglasses, lying on a bamboo chair and smoking a cigar comfortably.

    Because of Lin Hongzhong¡¯s filial piety, Yin Zhengmao also got into the habit of smoking, but he smoked hookah.  Take two sips after a meal and it will feel very good.

    "There has been a saying since ancient times, 'If you don't take a boat trip to the lake, you won't know the beauty of the lake, and your trip to Xingyan will be in vain.'" Yin Zhengmao also lay comfortably on the bamboo chair, puffed and said: "But compared to Shishu's Immortal Couple  , the endless beauty seen when traveling around the world is definitely far behind.¡±

    "The vast land of China, with its beautiful landscapes, is indeed worth a visit." Zhao Liben said with a smile, "But your official career has been prosperous, and you haven't had this freedom for ten or twenty years."

    "Hey, I don't know when I will be dismissed from my post and investigated." Yin Zhengmao mocked himself, half-truthfully: "Uncle Shi has been away from officialdom for a long time. Maybe he doesn't know that the pile of bullets to impeach me is probably higher than mine."  Yes. They even gave me a nickname, 'Leave Half'!"

    "Really?" Zhao Liben said angrily when he heard this: "A group of vicious dogs that only know how to bark, they don't know how difficult it is to be the master of the Ming Dynasty. Nothing can be done if you behave according to rules!"

    ps. I suffered a huge amount of hurt today. After watching Jinju Chapter 139, I feel completely bad.  As a giant fan and writer, I have always admired Isayama¡¯s creative techniques.  I spent a lot of energy researching and studying this work in the past few years, and the result Hey, it also reminded me that I will never feed shit to readers!  I haven't written the next chapter yet oh!  Don't wait(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
