Chapter 766 The Queen's Lao Tzu Can't Do It (Month

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, these things from South America had actually been introduced and even started to be planted.

But the problem is that the planting force is too small. After all, agricultural countries will not easily replace crops on a large scale, and they need to understand them thoroughly.

Another thing is that because it is a new species, there is a blank in planting, harvesting, and even insect prevention.

In the end, the only thing that was left was in the hands of the gentry in Jiangnan.

So Wang Xiao simply asked the church with huge power to help. As long as he could get it in large quantities, he could discuss even if he gave trade rights.

From breeding to poison removal, from rotation to storage. Wang Xiao has carefully read and practiced all aspects of knowledge.

What he lacks now is a large number of seeds.

Compared to war, increasing grain output is a more important strategic goal.

Wang Xiao was not interested in helping Emperor Chongzhen go to war. He just wanted to do something for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The Spanish ships transported silver from South America by ship, and only the landlords and gentry needed this silver.

The people of Ming Dynasty did not need silver, they needed high-yield grain seeds from South America.

Treat the plague, appease the victims, train new troops, build weapons, rectify river channels, repair city walls, etc.

While mobilizing the Ming Dynasty, which was a stagnant pool, it also meant that the food and silver flowing water collected some time ago were spent.

When he had no money in the past, Emperor Chongzhen could turn his hair white with sorrow.

But now after I dropped the jar, I heard that I was almost out of money and food, and my first thought was to call Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

There is no way, this method makes money too quickly.

"Your Majesty, although leeks grow fast, they have to give them time and nutrients to harvest."

Wang Xiao stepped forward to dissuade him and said, "There are not many leeks left in the city now, so you can be more tactful."

"How to be tactful?"

"In the name of His Majesty, the royal relatives and noble ministers contribute money and efforts to the Ming Dynasty. After all, they also have a share in this Ming Dynasty. Without the Ming Dynasty, they are nothing."

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and asked, "But all ministers and officials have their own wealth and poverty."

"Whoever has rich and is really poor, Jinyiwei knows best. Don't underestimate this organization that has been around for more than two hundred years. At least in this capital, nothing can be hidden from them."

The two Jinyiwei films in the past were indeed quite good-looking. However, they did not fully demonstrate the strong strength of this organization.

What is truly powerful in the Jinyiwei is not the tens of thousands of people, but the omnipresent intelligence collection ability.

Every year they would select some people to enter the palace of the royal palace and the residences of noble ministers, and then lurk from generation to generation, the kind of father passing on his son, until the day when it needed to be launched.

Many people become housekeepers and confidants while doing it. In this case, the Jinyiwei knows clearly who is rich and who is not rich.

"It is better to let them pay for themselves than torture and pay. Not only is it more efficient, but it also has a better reputation."

Wang Xiao's words made Luo Yangxing, who was not far away, lower his head.

‘What else do you want for the things you two do? You got drunk last night.’

In this era when the right to speak and public opinion and even the right to write historical books were all controlled by the big turban, Wang Xiao and Emperor Chongzhen would definitely have a reputation as a foolish monarch and a treacherous minister.

"As the saying goes, killing a chicken can make a warning to the monkey. There will definitely be people who refuse to obey Your Majesty's orders." Wang Xiao began to dig a pit. "At that time, I hope Your Majesty will put the Ming Dynasty first, so don't be influenced by various favors."

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were already red with excitement. "No matter who dares to stop me from saving the Ming Dynasty, I will never let it go!"

Wang Xiao, who dug the pit, clapped his hands with satisfaction, "Okay, I am worthy of being the leader of the Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation, I like you."

Just talk about the Lord of Revival, Wang Xiao didn’t care whether Chongzhen could become a wise monarch of his generation.

What he is concerned about now is to allow the people of the Ming Dynasty to survive more in this world of natural disasters and man-made disasters.

In the chaotic times, the people are like grass.

Wang Xiao didn't care about the royal relatives and nobles, he hoped that more grass would survive.

When leaving the hall, Wang Xiao grabbed Wang Chengen who wanted to run away.

"Why should I hide from me?"

"I dare not, I dare not, I have something urgent to do."

Wang Xiao looked at Wang Chengen, who was arching his waist, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "There is something you want to do. Go and find Empress Zhou and tell her that the emperor wants the royal relatives and nobles to take the lead."

Wang Chengen was in a panic. Which one is Wang Xiao trying to cheat? Do he want to cheat the queen?

As a eunuch who can go all the way to this position in a place like the palace, Wang Chengen's insight and analysis ability are beyond doubt.

He knew very well that Wang Xiao was not a boring person. He did things in a targeted manner.

He specifically asked him to tell the queen, and then he thought of what he had discussed with the emperor before. This was either to cheat the queen or the rhythm of cheating the father-in-law.

No matter who Wang Xiao, as a national teacher, wants to cheat, Wang Chengen will hide if he can.

But now he can't even hide.

"Remember." Wang Xiao pressed his shoulder and said, "You must bring the words."

Looking at Wang Xiao's departure back, Wang Chengen sighed helplessly.

Although he is now a eunuch on the pen and an admiral of the Dongchang, he still doesn't see enough in front of Wang Xiao. How dare he take such a thing as a warning?

In the end, no matter how helpless or unwilling it, I could only go to the queen's palace to bring the words over.

Wang Xiao hated Queen Zhou’s father Zhou Kui very much.

When this person was in his hometown, he worked as a cotton titty shop and was a local bully.

When his daughter became the queen and came to the capital, she was even more lawless.

Logically speaking, becoming the emperor's father-in-law and the prince's grandfather should devote themselves to the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, Zhou Kui was desperate to dig out the corners of the Ming Dynasty.

If Wang Xiao doesn't mess with him, he will be sorry for the people who have been harmed by him and his two sons over the years.

As for why I brought the message to the queen, the reason is very simple.

Concubine Tian, ​​who was favored by Emperor Chongzhen, should have died of illness a few days ago.

However, Wang Xiao took the initiative to rescue him and was in recuperation.

Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian competed for favor, not only between them, but also between the Zhou and Tian families.

Both families have money. This time the emperor asked the royal relatives to take the lead in fighting for the country, which is an excellent time to show the strength of the two families and maintain their reputation.

For Empress Zhou, she would definitely not lose to Concubine Tian.

However, she knew very well about her family and knew that her father was a Pixiu that only entered and did not leave.

So after listening to Wang Chengen's message, she took out 30,000 taels of money in stock and asked the people around her to send to the Zhou Mansion. When the emperor issued an order, she would like to make face for herself and the Zhou family.

However, although Queen Zhou saw through her father's greed, she did not realize that she was brainless.

When Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to ask the royal relatives and noble ministers to pay for the Ming Dynasty to escape from difficulties.

As a relative of the foreigner, Zhou Kui reluctantly took out three thousand taels of silver.

Zhou Kui has seized many British fields in recent years, not only the Jinyiwei, but also the people in the capital are very clear about it.

It’s just that he is the queen’s father and the emperor’s old Taishan, no one can control it.

Three thousand taels? This is slapping the emperor in the face.

Then, in the restaurant and teahouse where the plague retreated and became active again, news began to spread wildly.

'Uncle Jiading received his daughter's 30,000 taels of silver and swallowed it himself, and only took 3,000 taels to fool the emperor. He also complained to the emperor all day long that he had no money.'

The news spreads with a nose and eyes, and even the person who sends the money has a name and surname.

Theoretically, at this time, the Jinyiwei and the East Factory should come forward to stop the rumors involving royal members.

But the problem is that at this moment, both Jinyiwei and Dongchang men have become blind, deaf and mute. Even if someone is talking about this by their side while drinking, they think they don’t hear it.

If you have a good relationship, you will tell me that this matter is very deep. Their bosses have spoken in person. If anyone dares to meddle in other people's business, then go and fight it yourself.

Who can work in Jinyiwei or Dongchang? No one will fall into it?

So, this matter is spreading more and more widely and has a greater impact, but no one has ever asked about it.

Next, the royal relatives and noble officials took Jiading Bo as an example and deceived him hundreds or thousands of taels to deal with the emperor's request.

Even if the emperor reset the East Factory some time ago, he would not scare them if he had dealt with a group of people on a large scale.

Everyone has a lucky mentality.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so cruel back then. How many people were treated with skinning and weeding, but what could the result be? He was not a wave after wave, and he was not afraid of death.

Anyway, Jiading is now holding the front, and there is a tall one carrying it when the sky falls, so they are not afraid.

When the tide began, Wang Xiao went to see Emperor Chongzhen and began to close the net.

"His Majesty."

Wang Xiao came up and went straight to the topic, "You said that if you want to revive the Ming Dynasty, you will be willing to do anything even if you are crushed to pieces. Now, you can just say what to do."

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew what Wang Xiao was talking about, but the matter involved the queen and the father-in-law. For him who was shameless, it was indeed very difficult.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was habitually hesitant, Wang Xiao simply clapped and stood up.

"Okay, I know your Majesty's plan. Let's say goodbye. From now on, the road is coming to the sky, and each one will go!"

"National Master!"

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Wang Xiao's sleeve and begged, "Why is this? I haven't said anything yet."

"Although Your Majesty said nothing, the meaning has been expressed." Wang Xiao sneered more than just "Isn't he just trying to protect the royal relatives?"

"If you stop, you will suffer from chaos! Now that your Majesty has protected the royal relatives, he will immediately destroy the prestige accumulated before. The Ming Dynasty will not be able to escape the fate of destruction in two years!"

"Since Your Majesty wants to be the king of the country and want to see the people of the Ming Dynasty fall into bloody storms. Then go and do it, I won't join in."
