Chapter 254 Zhao Xin’s Loyalty

In the next few days, Wang Pu, Qian Qianyi, and Lu Daqi were all ill and stopped going to court.

Gao Hongtu and others did three major tasks in succession: the first thing was to send a peace talks with Yang Tingjian, the new top scholar, to Beijing to discuss peace with Jiannu; the second thing was to increase taxes and impose taxes on the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces for the next three years, and the third thing was to prepare to start the selection of the girls.

When Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi were found, Wang Pu was taking a bath in the Xiaoyao Fairyland.

After receiving the report, Wang Puping stepped back from Bumubutai and Hai Lanzhu who were serving him like a bitch, and then asked someone to lead Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi into the bathroom.

"Marty."

Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi bowed respectfully to Wang Pu, and then told the three new policies that Gao Hongtugang made.

"This is really a sin and cannot survive." Wang Pu said in a deep voice. "In the future, when convicting Gao Hongtu, you can add two such things to him. One is to sell the country for honor, and the other is to exploit the people."

"Haha." Qian Qianyi smiled, "But in the court, Gao Hongtu said very well. Do you want to hear what he said?"

Wang Pu asked, "What did you say?"

Qian Qianyi said: "Gao Hongtu said that condemning peace talks for the long-term peace of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of tens of millions of people in Jiangnan, and even for the sake of tens of millions of people in Jiangbei. He also said that if he continues to fight with Jiannu, Jiannu will move the people in Nujiangbei, and the people in Jiangbei will be massacred and retaliated by Jiannu. Only by discussing peace talks, the two families will stop the troops and let the Ming and Jiannu live in peace can they bring welfare to the people in Jiangbei."

"Shameless!" Wang Pu slapped the table and said angrily, "You can even say such words!"

"There is also a matter of increasing the tuition." Lu Daqi said indignantly, "No matter how hard you say, you can't suffer, you can't suffer, no matter how poor you are, you can't suffer, and you can't suffer in the palace. You still have the face to post a notice to ask the people of Zhejiang to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, tighten your belt and suffer for another three years, but God knows what suffering will be waiting for the people of Zhejiang to wait for the people of Zhejiang to do in three years."

Wang Pu paced back and forth twice and said in a voice: "He will let the peace talks go. Maybe he can give Jiannu the illusion that we are busy with internal party struggles and underestimate the enemy. However, the matter of adding taxes and selecting women must be stopped. Fortunately, the Qiange Lao and Luge Lao immediately tried to notify the Confucian scholars of the Zhejiang and Zhi provinces to organize the gentry and the people to boycott these two new policies."

"Yes, yes, yes," Qian Qianyi said, "It's time to fight back appropriately. If the Marquis acts too tolerant, it will make people suspicious."

Wang Pu thought for a while and asked again: "Last time, this marquis proposed to amend the Ming Dynasty's law, but Gao Hongtu and the others hadn't responded yet?"

"No." Qian Qianyi shook his head and said, "The subordinates and Master Lu are also wondering about this matter. If you want to say that this is the killer weapon used to deal with the Marquis, you can even kill the Marquis according to the Ming Dynasty... Uh, but Gao Hongtu and the others endure it so far and have not attacked it. Could it be that they have seen that the cabinet is just an empty stance, so they dare not act rashly?"

"It shouldn't be." Wang Pu shook his head, "Otherwise, how could Gao Hongtu be determined to win the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet? This marquis thought they must be not prepared yet, or they could not take care of it for the time being, so they did not attack."

After saying this, Wang Pu said again: "It's not advisable to go and notify the Confucian scholars of Zhejiang and Zhizhou Provinces as soon as possible."

Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi bowed and said, "Since that's the case, the subordinates will leave first."

After seeing off Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi, Wang Pu was not in the mood to take a bath. It happened that Aunt Chen, Aunt Li, Li Shiniang, Li Xiangjun, Gu Mei, and Kou Baimen had arrived. Wang Pu asked someone to invite them to Yaxuan in the backyard of Xiaoyao Fairyland. These maids or Qinhuai socialites are now Wang Pu's business partners.

Thanks to the joining of Warm Pavilion, Han Xiuzhai and Meilou, Xiaoyao Fairyland has unified the high-end romantic places in Jiangnan, and has opened four semicolons in Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou and Shaoxing.

Wang Pu just checked the account of Xiaoyao Fairyland General Account, and in less than a year he actually made a profit of more than 3.7 million taels! He deducted the opening of a semicolon and paid the girl and the salary of the girl, and the other expenses, and the rest of the silver was more than 2.9 million taels! When he saw this number, even Wang Pu was shocked, thinking that the profits of the erotic industry and the gambling industry were really high!

However, it is not surprising that the wealth of the Ming Dynasty was concentrated in Jiangnan, and the wealth of the Jiangnan region was concentrated in Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other bustling cities, especially Nanjing, where a single honorary family could be worth hundreds of thousands of taels. The wealth of the King of Jian'an and Duke of Wei was even more uncalculable.

The thief can squeeze out tens of millions of huge silver from Beijing, and the wealth of the entire Jiangnan plus a piece is a terrifying astronomical figure. More than 3.7 million taels are just a bit of drizzle.

The sound of orioles sounded from outside the Yaxuan. Wang Pu smiled and greeted him out. He saw Li Shiniang, Li Xiangjun, Gu Mei, Kou Baimen and other famous Nanqu Yuan and Aunt Chen. Aunt Li and Aunt Chen had already arrived. Gu Mei, who was walking in the front, smiled at Wang Pu Yanran and said with a polite look: "The little woman has seen the Marquis."

The other girls and nannies also came forward to greet each other. Wang Pu laughed and said, "No need to be too polite, several girls and nannies invite you inside."

A sumptuous table of wine and food had already been set up in Yaxuan.

Wang Pu invited several girls and the nanny to sit down, poured a glass of wine and smiled: "Before the banquet, please allow me to give the four girls and the two nanny a cup first to thank the four girls and the two nanny for their contributions to the Xiaoyao Fairyland!"

After saying that, Wang Pu drank the wine in his arms and bowed deeply.

The girls quickly stood up and returned the greetings, saying repeatedly: "You can't do it, the marquis can't do it quickly, and you'll destroy the slave family."

"Make." Wang Pu bowed three times before getting up and said, "Because you have created a huge profit of millions of taels of silver for Xiaoyao Fairyland! These millions of taels of silver are not a small amount. It can train an army, buy a large number of weapons and ammunition, and buy millions of stones of rice, which is enough to save millions of victims!"

Aunt Chen, Aunt Li and several girls looked at each other silently, but a hint of emotion appeared in their eyes.

The powerful marquis bowed to several brothels and women in public, which was a shocking event at that time! If this matter was spread, Wang Pu would be labeled as an injustice by those Neo-Confucian Taoist priests, and might even be criticized for generations. It would take courage to do so.

Aunt Chen and Aunt Li were particularly moved. Although they had bonus shares in Xiaoyao Fairyland, Wang Pu was the real big boss. If other relatives were not treated as slaves, they would definitely not have any good face. Wang Pu was the only man who really regarded them as miserable women.

"Marty."

Gu Mei suddenly poured a glass of wine for himself, took a look at Wang Puyaoyao and drank it all, and said, "The sisters are all miserable women, and we never thought of saving the world and helping the people."

Gu Mei was already hinting, how could Wang Pu not hear it?

Wang Pu poured wine for himself again, then walked to Gu Mei with a glass of wine, and smiled and said, "My mother's intentions are naturally understood. Today, Xiao Hou might as well make the words clear. If the girls are willing, they will continue to do it in the Xiaoyao Fairyland. Xiao Hou will never let you down. If you have a better home, Xiao Hou will definitely prepare a generous dowry."

"Oh." Aunt Li said charmingly, "Mr. Marquis, you really dare to think about it. You have already married Miss Yuanyuan and Miss Xiaowan back to the Marquis' Mansion and brought Miss Rushi to the army as a confidante. That's not all, but you still want to take away Mei Niang, Shi Niang, Baimen and Xiangfan Piaoer?"

"Yes." Aunt Chen also smiled, "I'm missing the eight Qinhuai socialites, who are all in Yujing Taoist, and I can all gather two tables of mahjong, huh..."

"Hehe." Wang Pu smiled shamelessly, "The sisters are not only lively together, but also have a look after each other, right?"

Wang Pu's meaning was already very straightforward. The pink faces of the four girls Gu Mei, Kou Baimen, Li Shiniang and Li Xiangjun suddenly turned red, but their expressions were different.

Gu Mei's beautiful eyes were as spicy as fire, and she looked at Wang Pu without a moment. Xiangfanzhuer was shy. After all, she was still young and it was not time to talk about marriage. However, in Li Xiangjun's heart, Wang Pu was undoubtedly a perfect hero and the most ideal husband.

Kou Baimen and Li Shiniang are in the most complicated mood. It is fake to say that they are not attracted to Wang Pu. It is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. But the problem is that there are too many beautiful beauties around Wang Pu. They are arrogant and difficult for them to accept the reality of competing for favor with others, especially Li Shiniang. She was already in a deep sisterly relationship with Chen Yuanyuan, but when she thought of herself competing for favor with Chen Yuanyuan, she felt quite uncomfortable.

Wang Pu expressed his feelings appropriately, and immediately changed the topic: "Let's start the meal first, and say while eating, otherwise the wine and food should be cold."

Wuchang, the admiral headquarters.

The spring is chilly and the night wind is like a knife. Zhao Xin stands in the pavilion in the backyard with his hands behind his back, staring at the dark night sky in the distance, and staring blankly. The words of the mysterious middle-aged man echo in his mind over and over again.

It would be a false statement to say that Zhao Xin was not moved by the strange middle-aged man.

If you are a person, you have ambitions. Unless you are a stubborn person like Scarface and Monk Zhang, who doesn’t want to gain greater power and fame? If you can really be a prince who governs the country, why doesn’t Zhao Xin?

But the question is, is this possible?

That's right, Wang Pu became a prince who was separatist with four thousand elite soldiers, and then took advantage of the fall of Beijing and Jiannu's opportunity to enter Beijing to achieve the decision-making achievements, and thus became the governor of the five provinces. But is it possible that Zhao Xin, the next Wang Pu?

It seems that Zhao Xin has a good foundation. He has 30,000 elite Central Army and a musket battalion. His family is much thicker than Wang Pu, the general of Datong, at that time. But this is just a superficial situation. Zhao Xin is a smart person. He knows very well that these 30,000 Central Army can only be loyal to Wang Pu!

If Zhao Xin dared not listen to Wang Pu's condemnation, he would be afraid that the 30,000 Central Army would immediately turn the gun and kill him!

To take a step back, even if the 30,000 Central Army is loyal to Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin dare not betray Wang Pu. Not only because the Central Army and the Musket Battalion depend too much on logistics supplies, but as long as Wang Pu cuts off logistics, Zhao Xin's 30,000 Central Army under Zhao Xin will be in trouble, but also because Zhao Xin has a kind of respect and fear of Wang Pu from the bottom of his heart!

Wang Pu is as close to his loyal subordinates as his brothers, but Wang Pu will never be ruthless to his traitors!

"call……"

Zhao Xin breathed a long sigh and said loudly, "Come here!"

Amid the rapid footsteps, the captain of the personal soldiers quickly walked into the pavilion, saluted Zhao Xin with a military salute, and shouted: "What are the general's instructions?"

"Go." Zhao Xin waved his hand and said, "Please invite that gentleman to the signing room, and then invite Miss Liu Qingyan to come."

"yes!"

The captain of the personal soldiers saluted again and turned around.

Zhao Xin pulled his hem and pulled the admiral's dress straight. Then he turned around and turned his legs together, saluted a standard military salute to the east, and said in a solemn manner: "Marty, Zhao Xin has been determined to follow you in this life. No matter whether it is a knife mountain or a oil pan in front, Zhao Xin has made a decision!"

Nanjing, Xiaoyao Fairyland Backyard Yaxuan.

After three rounds of wine, the cups were mixed with wine, and the fair pink faces of the girls had dizziness, and the red and plain faces were very attractive. Gu Mei took advantage of the alcohol and asked boldly: "Mr. Marquis, I heard that you will marry His Highness the Princess in seven days?"

Wang Pu also felt drunk and smiled and said, "So what, so what, no?"

Gu Mei looked at Wang Pu with beautiful eyes and asked, "I remember that the Marquis made promises in Wujiang County and Nuanxiang Pavilion. He said that he would use red felt to pave the floor with a red felt when he returned to Jiangnan in the future. He carried a sedan chair and married Yuanyuan's girl to the door. Now more than two years have passed in a flash. Has the Marquis forgotten this?"

"I haven't forgotten, of course I haven't forgotten." Wang Pu waved his hand and said loudly, "One day I really got married to Princess Changping, I will prepare three and eight big sedan chairs to parade on the street, one of the princesses, one of the round ones, and one of the Xiaowan. Hehe, if you are willing to be sisters with Yuanyuan and Xiaowan, I will prepare one of the eight big sedan chairs to each of you."

Gu Mei's eyes were full of shyness when she heard this. Kou Baimen, Li Shiniang and Li Xiangjun were full of shyness.

Wang Puzi sucked the wine in the glass and said with the intention of drinking: "Mi Niang, you like doing business. You can be my business secretary and be responsible for business affairs. Shi Niang likes to book and abacus, you can be my financial secretary. The Baimen girl has martial arts and likes to be a hero and righteous. You can be my security secretary. As for our little fan pendant, hehe, you can be my state secretary and help me arrange my daily work matters..."

"Oh." Aunt Li shouted charmingly, "The Marquis of Love has long been thinking about our Shi Niang and Xiang Fan Piaoer, and he has even planned to ask them to do anything."

"Auntie." Wang Pu smiled with a saliva, "Why...what are there any secretary for you?"

"Bao," Aunt Li spat, "In front of the girls, Marquis, you really dare to say anything."
