This world has always been about fist. Only when everyone is willing to abide by the same rules and violently maintain this rule can there be room for reason. In fact, this is a very simple logic, but unfortunately, many silly literati can't figure it out at all.

The literati and nobles of the Ming Dynasty were basically a group of stupid, helpless bastards when they reached the end of the Ming Dynasty. These people thought that if they opened the city gate and did not resist, they could avoid their own losses. Open the historical volume and look at it, there were many such cases.

Zheng Zhihu is not a fool who reads books. He knows very well what it means to have a warship equipped with this kind of artillery. Do you still want to collect protection fees? If someone doesn’t take the initiative to cause trouble for you, he should hide and laugh.

"Shopkeeper Liu, is this kind of cannon for takeout?" With a glimmer of unpredictable hope, Zheng Zhihu asked such a question "shy". Liu Qing opened his mouth slightly, was stunned for a moment before smiling and said, "It's getting late, stay here first."

Chen Xie, who returned to Zhangjiazhuang, immediately entered the study and ordered: "No one is allowed to get close to you if you have nothing to do."

The moment the door was closed by Yu Xun, Chen Xie began to whisper to his wrist. After some communication, Chen Xie gave up. Modern society can bring sailboats here, but he will definitely not find a maker. This is not a matter of money, and the Chinese people don’t have any good people in this regard. Unlike some Nordic countries, some idle and painful guys make some retro sailboats.

Wu Qi provided a plan to hire European shipbuilding talents to come to the Ming Dynasty with high salaries and set up a shipyard in Dengzhou. The problem of drawings can be solved in modern society. The feasibility of this method is still very strong. Chen Xie was thinking.

The moment the study door opened, seeing Liu Qing standing at the yard waiting, Chen Xie greeted and said, "How is he?"

Liu Qing showed a contemptuous expression and said, "I'm afraid of being arranged to stay. He is still thinking about buying cannons from here."

The arms trade has always been huge profits. But now this hole cannot be opened, at least Chen Xie’s current strength is still very limited. So he doesn’t consider this issue for the time being. So he smiled and changed the topic and said, “If you want to find a way to build your own. Please help find a suitable person to be responsible for this matter. There are places in Qishansou. Don’t be afraid of spending money. A good craftsman will create a value far higher than the wages we give him.”

"The boss is wise. Liu Qing remembers it." At some point, Liu Qing became more and more respectful in front of Chen Xie. Chen Xie himself did not notice this change. When he found himself high and above, it was impossible to change. In this era, many things are deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it will not take a day or a night to change. It even takes the efforts of several generations to achieve certain results.

"Prepare the car, I'm going to the city." With an order, Chen Xie's spare carriage was out of the warehouse. Chen Xie got several such "deluxe version" carriages, and there must be a spare car in the warehouse.

Mr. Chen went to the villain Yingniang in the city. The villain Green Jade, who was visiting the house here, quickly welcomed him. Yingniang was busy at Chunxianglou and quickly asked someone to shout. Yingniang heard the news and acted quickly. The sedan chair carrier was urged to run away. Chen Xie was in the backyard, enjoying the service of Green Jade, drinking iced sour plum soup while someone was fanning.

Yingniang came in and saw the two of them enjoying the cool under the shade of the tree and dressed neatly. She felt relieved. She stepped forward and said, "Master, are you so anxious, but is there something important?"

When Chen Xie saw her coming, he raised his hand and said, "Sit next to me and have something to say to you." Ying Niang said, "I'm so anxious that I'm walking. I'm sweating all over my body. I'll wipe it, and the master will rest first."

The backyard of the Ming Dynasty was a man's paradise. This villa was big enough, and there were five or six acres of land in the backyard. The walls were built high and many trees were planted. It was midsummer, and the breeze was blowing under the shade, which was very cool. Chen Xie sat on the bamboo bed, his mind was a little distracted, and Yingniang didn't even notice it when she came back.

When a woman sitting opposite her was stunned and saw her sitting in a pantyhose and laughing at herself, she patted her side with a embarrassed look and said, "Come here and sit together and drink some ice drinks to quench your thirst and cool down."

"There are a few news, should you listen?" Yingniang came over as she said, sat down next to Chen Xie. When she walked around, her mind was half open, revealing the whiteness inside. Seeing the fire, Chen Xie reached out to look at it and said, "You said that."

"The thief King Jiayin trapped Fugu County, Shaanxi, Ning and Shanxi provinces. Wen Tiren and Wu Zongdaren Pavilion. These are all news from the diary. According to the news from the Jinyiwei, Yuan Chonghuan will undoubtedly die......"

In the matter of the change of the people in Shaanxi, we must mention a person named Yang He. In February of the second year of Chongzhen, the governor of the Three-Borders Wu Zhiwang died. A very funny phenomenon occurred on the issue of successors, and no one was willing to be the governor. Everyone read that right, the governor of the Three-Borders was a hot potato. At this time, a man named Yang He came out and said, "Since the military campaign, the additional mission has been frequent, the public and private relationships have been exhausted, and the civil energy of the common people is injured." He also said: "For example, if the heavy army first started, the hundreds of meridians were not adjusted, the wind evil was easy to enter, and the Tao was cultivated." These words led to a result. He became the governor of the Three-Borders. At that time, he was the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

History has proved that Yang He, a nerd, had a policy of advocating and relieving water, and no root. In the end, he ruined his political future because of his wrong policies. It should be said that Chongzhen was very unkind about Yang He's issue. Although this person was not capable of doing things, he always did things. For such a person, it was really unkind to be accused of exile. Compared with those civil officials who only talked and were willing to do anything in the court, Yang He was actually much better.

Of course, Yang He is fine yet. He will not be arrested and exiled until July of the fourth year when Shen Yiyuan rebelled.

As he spoke, Yingniang's face turned red, and her watery eyes were aiming at the man who was squinting his eyes and looking at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking. What was hateful is that the person who was in a state of infancy and was twitching his heart was unbearable, and he couldn't help but whine a few times like a cat crying in a spring night.

Chen Xie finally opened his eyes with a smile, looking at Ying Niang who was twisting her side with a strong face, and didn't know what she looked like, and she joked: "You can seize opportunities, and you won't let go of this little skill." Ying Niang bent down, raised her face and whispered in a low voice: "If you don't hurry up, who knows which vixen will be cheaper."

"You are just a vixen..."

Xi Laojing received a post sent by Cui Xin from Chen Xie, and curiously found a Sun Yuanhua department to explain. This guy knows a little Chinese, but is limited to ordinary conversations. Sun Yuanhua was taking a lunch break in the yamen. After taking the post, he said, "Chen Sihua wants to invite you Portuguese to have a meal. The location is in Taibai Building, so you can summon everyone to go."

Xilao said strangely: "How could he remember to treat me to dinner? He is not a Christian."

Sun Yuanhua thought for a while and said, "It should be a business matter. By the way, where is the America he mentioned?"

Xilaojing tilted his head and thought about it for a while, and said, "This should refer to North America. There are many places in that continent that have not been developed. The climate conditions are too harsh, and neither the Spanish nor the Portuguese have the intention to develop it. The British and French seem to have regarded it as an exile place. It's really strange that I have never heard of this place."

Sun Yuanhua laughed and said, "What's so strange about this? People have said that this world is big. If you don't talk about this, just go to the banquet and don't worry about anything. I can see this Chen Sihua, who only recognizes money at heart. It must be related to business when he looks for you."

Sun Yuanhua looked very open about the issue of maritime trade. The Ming Dynasty's maritime ban had long been in name only. The court yelled not to let the maritime ban be opened, not because the literati and officials valued the ancestral system, but because their families and interests engaged in maritime trade, and local people turned a blind eye. In this case, why should the maritime ban be opened and others could get a share of the pie? Take Dengzhou for example. Every day, there are sea boats on the dock, and didn't the navy see it in front of him? Every month, Sun Yuanhua didn't do anything, so someone gave him more than 2,000 taels of silver. Larger maritime merchants would give him a piece of filial piety. Speaking of which, this has to be thanked to the American goods of the United Trading Company, otherwise where did he get these investments in a month?

Sun Yuanhua, a technocrat, was still a Christian believer, which was a rare existence in the Ming Dynasty. From this perspective, it is not difficult to see that the Ming Dynasty during this period was relatively tolerant of foreign things.

Xilao took more than a dozen compatriots to the banquet, and Chen Xie stood at the entrance of the restaurant to greet him. The reason why he treated him at the restaurant rather than at Chunxiang Tower was very simple. The girls looked down on foreigners and thought he was very dirty. At this time, the Ming people were so arrogant. You really don’t say it, this is a historical fact. Even in Jinghao, the Portuguese were still doing things with their tails. It was normal for the officers in the yamen to arrest people in the past.

Xi Laojing and others came to Daming to make money. When they were looking for women, they could only find some low-level roadside stalls. High-end places like Chunxianglou would not receive them, and the price would be reduced! So, Chen Xie had to follow the public opinion.

After a simple greeting, Chen Xie led them upstairs and into the private room to sit down. Chen Xie had booked the entire Taibai Building today. This is Chen Tuhao's style. He must book the entire restaurant for treating guests. So, the most popular restaurants in Dengzhou City are such prodigal guests.

It is estimated that a group of foreigners had never eaten such a big banquet. Chen Xie started eating hard as soon as he said "invited" them. Chen Xie smiled and didn't move his chopsticks. He looked at the table full of food, and had no intention of talking.

Until the Western Labor Monastery had almost finished eating, I asked Chen Xie: "General Chen, there is always a reason for treating guests? (To be continued)
