Hou Zhi used to often go to Duogan Dusi.

He is very familiar with the situation there and can indeed provide some help to Jing Qing.

Jingqing found Hou Zhi, stayed in this village for one night, and set off again early the next morning. This time he entered Duogan Dusi directly, and the benefits of having a guide who could lead the way were reflected in this way.

The road Hou Zhi took them to take was much smoother and less difficult than before.

While rushing on the road, Jing Qing also asked a lot about the situation in the southern part of Duogandusi, and recorded everything he asked so that he could use it at any time in the future.

Hou Zhi also talked a lot about local taboos and so on.

As long as Jingqing doesn't violate those taboos, there won't be any big problems, and it won't be difficult to build a trade zone.

"I didn't expect that the difference here is bigger than I thought!"

Jingqing said with sigh.

Hou Zhi smiled and said: "When Lord Jing arrives in Litang, you will find that the gap is even bigger than what I said. There are many differences between the two different places. The troubles Lord Jing will encounter in the future may be even greater." many."

He was alone and followed Jing Qing to the west.

I didn’t bring my family with me, so everything was convenient.

"Trouble is better!"

Jing Qing sighed: "If there are no troubles, I won't be able to show my ability, and His Highness won't know how capable I am."

If you do well here, it is credit and a sign of ability.

If his abilities can be demonstrated, he will definitely be reused when he returns to Beijing in five years.

Staying here for five years is a test.

What's more, five years is not too long, it has passed in the blink of an eye.

Jing Qing's imagination of coming here is pretty good.

"Of course Lord Jing has this ability!"

Hou Zhi said cooperatively: "I don't ask for anything. I just need to help Mr. Jing do things here so that he can live a stable life in the future. Hou Xian can be with His Highness, which is the greatest blessing for our family."

He seems to be a very pragmatic person who bases everything on reality.

I'm not greedy for anything, I just want to live a stable life, and I don't ask for much.

"Certainly possible!"

As Jingqing said this, he was thinking that as long as he did this well, he could be as stable as he wanted in the future, and His Highness would definitely not treat them badly.

Next, they continued on their way.

Although the road led by Hou Zhi is not as difficult as before, it is still quite strenuous to walk. As a scholar, Jing Qing does not have the physique of a warrior, and he is now panting from exhaustion.

But you have to keep going.

Time passed quickly, and several days passed.

Jingqing finally arrived in Litang, but when he first arrived, he could see traces of Tantric Buddhism everywhere, even more than what he saw in the north of Duogan Dusi. Those Buddhisms are still very popular here and relatively concentrated.

As for whether it is good or not, Jingqing cannot judge.

However, the feeling given to Jing Qing here was indeed very different, as if he was in another world.

According to Hou Zhi, there are many garrisons here, all related to Buddha, and there are also some garrisons from the Ming Dynasty, but the garrisons are not very deep, probably near Litang.

The person in power here is still Harima.

In fact, Harima had known for a long time that Zhu Xuan was going to open a second trade zone for them. He had sent people to cooperate a long time ago. He had tasted enough sweetness in Lintao. The people here did not know how eager they were to have more trade. district.

After entering the city, Jing Qing simply looked at the place and said with a smile: "First find a place to build a power station, prepare a few more base stations to transmit signals, and then build a telegraph station." This is what they want to do first. matter.

Only by preparing a good telegram can the news that they are here be sent out as soon as possible.

It's just that there are too many mountains and huge differences here, so it's not that easy to transmit signals.

Fortunately, with Harima's cooperation, the people here welcomed Jing Qing's arrival without encountering any obstacles.

Zheng He once again took a boat out to sea and traveled all the way to the Suez Canal, where he met Adelaide again.

"Master Zheng!"

Adelaide always calls Zheng He "sir" and does not discriminate against him because of his status as a eunuch.

In fact, in his heart, he still admired Zheng He. As a eunuch, he could achieve this level. He was extremely powerful. There was no one in the West who could compare with Zheng He.

"Adelaide, long time no see."

Zheng He asked with a smile: "How is the recent business? How is the sales of our Daming cigarettes?"

"very good!"

Adelaide laughed loudly and said: "Daming's cigarettes are often in short supply here. I have to say that His Highness knows how to make money."

Cigarettes are something that, once you get used to them, you can't let them go.

Of course, you can also quit smoking, but it is not that easy. It requires a lot of perseverance, otherwise cigarettes would not be so easy to sell.

As for the subsequent problems caused by cigarettes, Adelaide is not within the scope of consideration. He is a businessman and a capitalist. What he wants is to make money. As long as the money is in place, who will care about those who smoke.

What he wants is inexhaustible wealth.

By cooperating with Daming, we can achieve a win-win situation and gain wealth, so why not?
"Haha... if your business is good, our business will be good together!"

Zheng He smiled. The two of them basically complemented each other. Adelaide was an agent of Daming in the West. Although the Xi Daming Company was on the side of the canal, the company also cooperated with Adelaide.

Mutual benefit and win-win, that’s what we say.

Adelaide said with a smile: "Of course, but Mr. Zheng specially called me here this time. What's the matter?"

If he could get here, he could know that Zheng He was coming. In fact, it was Zheng He who specially found someone to inform him.

"one thing."

"There was corruption in our trading area in Panyu. Cen Jing, Wu Yongfeng and others were all arrested, but I heard that their families are all in Great Britain."

"They have been prepared early in the morning in case corruption is caught."

"I don't want to use force. I would like to ask Adelaide to use your connections to ask officials from Great Britain to send Wu Yongfeng and his family to me."

"Of course, Great Britain can refuse, but in that case, we plan to fight."

Zheng He said calmly.

This sentence sounds a bit threatening to Great Britain.

Adelaide was shocked to hear that Cen Jing and Wu Yongfeng were arrested for corruption.

Having cooperated with each other for such a long time, Adelaide certainly knew Cen Jing and the two of them, and also knew that they were in the manor in Great Britain. As a partner, he did nothing and did not report it to Daming.

Since they are partners again, Adelaide and Cen Jing actually do bad things secretly.

Adelaide worriedly wondered if many of her belongings were related to Cen Jing and the two of them, and would they be implicated as well? (End of chapter)
