1825 My New Daming

Chapter 21 Ben Zhuge made a calculation, Daoguang, you have to beg for food!

Its daybreak!
Zhuge Weidao, who was sleeping soundly on the table, suddenly heard the voices of Yu Hui and Guo Xiaobao.

"Brother Daozi, it's dawn!"

"Brother Daozi, wake up!"

"Brother Daozi, here comes a guest."

"Brother Daozi, don't sleep, someone is asking you to tell your fortune!"

Zhuge Weidao, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by two good friends. Then he opened his sleepy eyes, looked around, and found Yu Hui and Guo Xiaobao standing beside him.

Zhuge Weidao also asked, "Changfu, Baozhi, were we all drunk last night?"

"Yes, yes, all drunk!"

"Yeah, we got drunk together!"

Zhuge Weidao asked again: "The three of us just slept at the wine table all night?"

"Yes, we didn't go anywhere, just got drunk all night."

"Brother Daozi, you too!"

Zhuge breathed a sigh of relief for Dao, and asked again: "Then, you just said that there is a visitor?"

"That's right," Guo Xiaobao said, "Just now Fairy Nalan sent someone to report that there is a distinguished guest who would like to ask Brother Daozi for help."

"Understanding?"

"It's fortune-telling!" Yu Hui laughed, "The Jinren believe in this, and it's also the method passed down by King Wu Zhong. After you became King Wu Zhong, if they have any doubts they can't solve, of course they want to ask you for help."

The visitor was a fat man with a big pancake face, small eyes, and two mustaches. He looked like a Mongolian.

Look again. Zhuge Weidao, who can pinch and count, is also confused, because he saw He Shen and Nalandili standing respectfully behind that fat Mongolian!

It doesn't matter if Nalandili is so respectful, she is just a fairy after all.But who is He Shen?A scholar of the Promise Palace and a minister of the Tianji Department, a prime minister, and a veteran of the three dynasties of the Dajin Kingdom.

In this Golden Empire, the only person who could make him serve him so respectfully was Emperor Daoguang.

But why is this Daoguang so fat?Is it because the cattle and sheep in the Fergana Basin are very cheap, and there is no Ministry of Internal Affairs to report to cheat him, so he eats and drinks every day and makes himself like this?Or has this Daoguang been changed by cruel historical changes?Zhuge Weidao heaved a long sigh when he thought that Daoguang, who would feel distressed for a long time even eating an egg, had been "killed".

It doesn't matter this sigh, but it startled Fat Daoguang.

What does this mean?Sighing as soon as we met?Could it be that my face is not good?I look in the mirror every day to meet myself, the absolute ninety-five respect!
He was just worried, Zhuge Weidao had already bowed his hands - he had already asked Guo Xiaobao that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty would not worship the king of a small state!So when you see Daoguang, you can bow your hands and salute.

Of course, officials of the Ming Dynasty generally would not bow down to the emperor and queen mother of the Ming Dynasty.One is because they basically can’t see those two; the other is that kneeling is only required in extremely important scenes, and not everyone needs to kneel. The heads of the eight great families all have the privilege of "no kneeling". Senior officials and senior members of the Council also have such privileges.

After arching his hands, Zhuge Weidao said to Fat Daoguang with a smile, "You must be a nobleman of the Kingdom of Jin, right? Zhuge Weidao is being polite." Then he cupped his hands at He Shen again, "Have a good morning, senior brother."

Fat Daoguang just smiled lightly, noncommittal.He came here with Heshen, and he didn't intend to hide his identity, but he didn't wear a dragon robe, but a Taoist uniform, and a ponytail scarf on his head—a wig, because the early Qing Dynasty Taoist priests in the early years also wanted to keep their hair but not their heads, so this kind of wig cap was invented, which was worn during practice and removed when checking baldness.Of course the current Dajin Kingdom does not dare to allow Taoist priests to shave their heads, but lay men still have to shave their heads.Of course Daoguang also shaved his head, so he can only wear a wig hat when he wears Taoist robes.

He was dressed like this, Zhuge Weidao called him "Great Nobleman" indeed quite appropriate.

He Shen introduced with a smile: "Junior Brother Zhuge, this is Fellow Daoist Jin. He is indeed a great nobleman of our Golden Empire. He came here today because of his reputation. This Gua Jinding is very rich."

Yep, this is a fortune teller.

Zhuge Weidao smiled and stretched out his hand to point to the chairs in the room, asking Fat Daoguang and He Shen to sit down, and he also found a chair to sit down, and then looked at Fat Daoguang with a smile.

As for Nalandili, who was so beautiful that she was about to become a fairy, she stretched her face and served tea and water as a maid—how beautiful she is!She has been beautiful since she was a child, but I don't know how many people miss her when she grows up.But I didn't expect that when it came to "actual combat", I would have a bad start, and I would meet Zhuge who was as good as Longyang.This is really hard to tell!
What made her even more speechless was that when she reported the matter to Daoguang and Heshen just now, those two thought that Zhuge had figured out the conspiracy on his side, so they didn't touch her Nalan fairy.

"I don't know what puzzle Mr. Jin wants to solve?" Zhuge Weidao picked up the fragrant tea sent by Fairy Nalan, took a sip, and then asked half-jokingly, "Is it related to wealth?"

Expert!
Fat Daoguang and He Shen expressed admiration.

The current Dajin Kingdom is fine in other aspects. The Promise Valley (Fergana Basin) is a small world with its doors closed. It is self-sufficient and has everything, even salt mines. Good Taniguchi, small life can live on.

But since this Wuji Valley changed from the Silk Road to the sea route, life has become poorer and poorer. After Kangxi's "Xian Dynasty" came, there was no improvement.Cultivating immortals doesn't come with money, not to mention, it's quite expensive.Now that we have to do Ming affairs and train the new army, it will cost even more money.Fat Daoguang became a poor Daoguang, and he was too poor to see hope.

To make matters worse, looking at Central Asia, the Promise Valley is still the richest place. The Kazakh Grassland, Hualazimo Oasis, Samarkand, and Bukhara are not as good as the Promise Valley.

At least the land of Wuji Valley is fertile, rich in food, and there is snowmelt in Tianshan Mountain to replenish water. Basically, it is a good place where you can't go hungry.If it is not trapped in traffic, this area is still pretty good.

As for the Mongolian tribes on the Kazakh grasslands and the Tianfang believers in Hualazimo Oasis, Samarkand, Bukhara and other places, they all surrender to Dajin now. Although they can't pay a few tributes, they don't cause much trouble—— Can't beat the Golden Empire either.The military power of the Golden Empire might be stronger than the Qing Dynasty in history!Those cultivators are all proficient in mathematics, physics and chemistry. If you do the math, you can shoot the cannons and you will have them!

So apart from being poor, Fat Daoguang has no immediate worries.

But Fat Daoguang has already calculated his fate of "poor death" when his Dajin Kingdom was passed on to Emperor Xuantong. He wanted to change his fate against the sky, and also wanted to live a wealthy life for a few days, so he frowned every day, and now he is asking questions Come to find Zhuge Weidao, the "amnesia Zhuge".

"Junior Brother Daozi, do you have any good recipe for cracking it?"

"Then I'll do the math."

Zhuge Weidao pinched his fingers and began to forget.

There are oil, natural gas and uranium mines in Central Asia, which may be sold for a few dollars after the second industrial revolution.But no one wants it now, and the cost of mining and transportation is estimated to be quite high, so it will definitely cost nothing.

If mining doesn’t work, then it counts as robbery!

Rob Rakshasa?
court death!

Rob Daming?
go Ape!

Rob. India?

There is the territory of the British Empire!

Rob Persia?
Persia seems to be protected by Britain too.

Rob Afghanistan?just forget it
Since we can't grab it, we can only beg for food!
Not to mention, Zhuge Weidao's brains are really good now, and he came up with such a genius idea as soon as he thought about it.

"Yes!" Zhuge Weidao smiled, "There is already a solution!"

Fat Daoguang and He Shen were overjoyed when they heard the words, and they all looked at Zhuge Weidao together.

He Shen asked: "I don't know what clever plan the younger brother has?"

Zhuge Weidao stretched out two fingers: "Just two words, beg for food!"

"What?" Daoguang was stunned.

He Shen was also anxious, "Junior Brother Daozi, what are you talking about? Mr. Jin is..."

Nalandili on the side was gloating.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Zhuge waved his hand in Weidao, "Mr. Jin, senior brother, don't worry, I don't mean asking you to take a bowl to the street to ask for food."

He Shen still shook his head: "I can't ask for it anywhere! I am a dignified king, and that is also the fairyland on earth, the emperor of the fairyland"

Seeing that his identity was about to be exposed, Fat Daoguang coughed a few times and interrupted He Shen.

Zhuge pretended to be Taoist and counted his fingers again, "Mr. Jin, you should recruit more people, it is best to recruit the Mongolians in the north, and the vassal kings of Bukhara, Khiva, and Samarkand in the south, everyone. Gather more people and go to Persia and India to the south to beg for food!"

"Junior Brother Daozi, do you mean to go to Persia and India to rob?" He Shen shook his head with fear on his face, "That is the land under the protection of the British Empire!"

It turns out that He Shen is also afraid of Daying!

Zhuge Weidao looked at Fat Daoguang again, and saw that his brows were tightly furrowed, his face was serious, obviously he was also a little afraid of Daying—there are bad things about opening your eyes to see the world, and you will be discouraged when you look at it.

Zhuge Weidao said with a smile: "Senior brother, why is Da Jin afraid of Da Ying? How can Da Ying's Royal Navy reach Wuji Valley?"

"That can't come."

"Then the British army can come?" Zhuge Weidao smiled, "How many armies do they have?"

He Shen said: "There are a lot of people in the East India Company Army!"

Zhuge Weidao said with a smile: "Brother and brother, I didn't ask you to conquer India and Persia, that's impossible. I just asked you to harass India and Persia, and ask the British Empire for gifts and flowers in the city." This is begging for food! Those beggars were crying and shouting, singing and dancing in front of the merchants in groups, didn't they just ask for money? They didn't really want to break into the house and commit murder.

The British Empire is so rich, isn't it a piece of cake to reward you hundreds of thousands of pounds a year?Although the army of the East India Company was large in number, its strength was very sparse. It might be able to be fierce on the plains of India, but it would not be enough to look at it on the plateau of Afghanistan.As long as you can attract Afghans and make a fortune together, you are not afraid that you will not be able to get rewards.Taking a step back, even if the British really invaded Afghanistan, they would not dare to enter the Wuji Valley. Dajin is a buffer between Ming and Luocha. How dare the British come to meddle?So you can continue to fight with the British on the Afghan plateau.I have already calculated that as long as you keep making trouble with the British, they will definitely go bankrupt and avoid disaster in the end.
