Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 496: Poison Scholar, Yao Guangxiao
Chapter 496: Poison Scholar, Yao Guangxiao

When Mr. Hu heard Daoyan talking about Wu Shi San, he was immediately shocked.

Be nice!

This method is so vicious!

Moreover, after Master Hu thought about it for a while, he figured out the clue.

Isn’t this the same script as the opium trade that Dai Ying created?
The reason why Dai Ying launched the Opium War was to open the country's doors for the opium trade, wasn't it?

And the purpose of the opium trade was to make some money from the Qing Dynasty, right?
After all, the East at that time was closed to the outside world on the surface, but in fact private maritime trade had always existed.

A large amount of goods were sold overseas, in exchange for a steady supply of silver.

Even the eagles that emerged after the Industrial Revolution could not gain any advantage, at least in trade.

Instead of using industrial products to compete with the ordinary commodities of the Qing Dynasty that were as exquisite as works of art at that time, it would be better to use industrial products to compete with the ordinary commodities of the Qing Dynasty.

It would be better to just take opium.

Low cost, high profit, strong addictiveness, and can also hit the national strength of the Qing Dynasty
With so many benefits, why not do it?
But what Daoyan is doing now is the opposite.

As long as Ming Dynasty established trade relations with Europe, Mr. Hu would not worry at all about not being able to sell Ming Dynasty's products.

For those barbarians who have never seen the world, the Ming Dynasty today is undoubtedly a beacon of light in this world.

The culture, craftsmanship, aesthetic qualities and other aspects that have been passed down for thousands of years are like a dimensionality reduction attack to the barbaric Europe.

So, once the "artwork" with traditional oriental beauty appeared in Europe, it would be strange if those so-called aristocrats did not go crazy.

After all, they had nothing to do every day, but they had accumulated a lot of gold and silver.

If they want to get something for nothing, the Ming Dynasty is not one of those small countries that they can mess with at will.

Then, they have only one way.

buy!
You have to spend a lot of money to buy it!

Although Mr. Hu has not seen that scene yet, he firmly believes that it will happen.

Because Europe after the Industrial Revolution could not withstand the invasion of Eastern culture, let alone this era.

But even in this situation, Daoyan actually proposed to add the Five Stones Powder.

Tsk tsk tsk, this is going to completely hollow out Europe!

Look, first they made a fortune from exquisite "artworks", and then Wu Shi San, a good thing that was "a must-have for celebrities" during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, appeared again.
Can those European nobles who are so concerned about their reputation resist this kind of "floating in the air" feeling?

Europe is hopeless!

Daoyan merely proposed an idea, but Master Hu could make a conclusion.

This Europe is completely hopeless.

"Daoyan, your idea is very good!"

"I was originally worried that you would be too timid to make any plans!"

"Don't be afraid, don't worry. For me, there is only one principle."

"Then they are not of my race, so their hearts must be different!"

"The warships and merchant ships we are waiting for are not going there to establish friendship."

"I am a very practical official. I want money, I want slaves, and I want good technology!"

"To put it bluntly, if we can get back all the good stuff and then beat the other party to death, then our work will not be in vain!"

"You have confidence!"

When Daoyan heard what Master Hu said, he, who had been calm as water, began to tremble with excitement.

Even someone as steady as him couldn't help but bow and shout, "I obey your orders!"

Daoyan was really excited!

It’s so difficult!
After he was hired by Mr. Hu, he thought he could put his knowledge to good use.

As a result, he was thrown into compiling the "Hongwu Encyclopedia", and this compilation took two full years.

God!
He is just a monk with some knowledge. How can you say that he is a good candidate for studying books?
The key is, he can't leave yet!
It’s not like he hasn’t thought about resigning.

But it happened that both he and Xie Jin were appointed by Mr. Hu.

Resign?

you can!

Go find Mr. Hu to sign!

Otherwise, who would dare to let him go?
Do you really think that Master Hu will no longer be able to control a few minor officials if he is no longer the Prime Minister?
Of course, there are people who can compete with Master Hu.

But if those people confront Master Hu because of some conflict of interest, then so be it.

But because of Daoyan, a monk who is not well-known?
Pooh!
Who is Daoyan!
It was precisely because of this situation that Daoyan was stuck in the matter of revising the book and could not move at all.

Two years!
God knows how Daoyan has been through these two years!
If it weren't for his good practice, he would not have been able to endure it.

You know, what he has always wanted is to change the situation and bring chaos to the world.

As a result, he became an unknown editor?

Fortunately, Mr. Hu is the reason for both success and failure.

Just when Daoyan was about to give up, Master Hu finally showed up.

Moreover, he was given what he wanted most!
Daoyan was so excited when he heard the arrangements made by Master Hu.

good good!
toss!

It’s so painful!

All kinds of shady, cruel, and dark tricks can be used.

Analyze human nature, arouse desire, take advantage of the situation, and take advantage of the situation...

After just a brief chat with Master Hu, Daoyan felt that all kinds of inspiration in his mind were about to overflow.

"My Lord, do you have anything else to say?"

"If I have nothing else to do, I plan to write down some of my thoughts and organize them."

"After you review it, I will officially arrange for my subordinates to carry it out!"

Daoyan's enthusiasm for work really satisfied Master Hu.

Ah!
Daoyan didn’t make a choice!

Look at this character who is willing to be a slave, how wonderful!

If you don't act like a beast of burden, how can I, your master, be treated like a salted fish?

Therefore, Mr. Hu's attitude became more gentle.

"Dao Yan!"

"You can plan this matter now."

"As I said, we are not afraid of schemes and viciousness. Neither Your Majesty nor I care about these things."

"We only care about the results. The more you mess around, the happier His Majesty and I will be!"

"Right now, Duke Ying's first batch of sea trade fleet has not returned yet!"

"When he comes back, I will let you have a good chat with him!"

"By then, you will have the original plan as a foundation, and with the introduction of Duke Ying, I believe this strategy will be taken to a higher level!"

"However, right now, you can indeed make some arrangements in advance!"

"Don't worry, just go ahead and do it. This is the seal of the Foreign Diplomatic Department. I'm handing it over to you. Just arrange everything for you!"

Having said that, Master Hu really put the seal of the new yamen into Daoyan's hand.

You know what, Daoyan was really excited after all this.

As the saying goes, a scholar will die for his confidant!

Master Hu has already done this much, the rest depends on Daoyan!
