People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 420: Unexpected Incidents Due to Jealousy
Zhang Juzheng liked Sophia's idea very much.

If the people from Daming Engineering College stayed in the college all the time, they would be a group of people who have never seen the world. But if they were released, they could continue to grow outside, which is a good thing for everyone.

This time, after Zhang Juzheng received the news from Princess Ning'an, he also heard from her that she wanted to go to the Daming Engineering College to recruit talents.

In fact, Princess Ning'an could have written directly to Guo Feixue and Sophia to ask them to cooperate, but the reason she had to go through Zhang Juzheng was because the three women actually didn't get along well.

If she wrote directly to Guo Feixue and Sophia, Princess Ning'an would feel that she was being a little bit humble, so she would rather take a detour and ask Zhang Juzheng to go to Daming Engineering College to ask for talents.

Today, Daming Engineering College is truly a gathering place for talented people.

In terms of both the quality and quantity of talent, it is top-notch.

Although Daming Engineering College was established not long ago, with the investment of this play, it quickly gathered a large number of talents from all over the world.

Regardless of their identities, these talents all have one obvious characteristic: they are grassroots.

Yes, these people are all from grassroots backgrounds, and no one could have imagined that they would have such an opportunity one day, so they now cherish this opportunity very much.

Today, Guogong Street was created by this group of students while studying and practicing.

What makes them even more gratified is that Daming Engineering College now has sufficient funding, which can support their food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as their families' food, clothing, housing and transportation, or some scientific inventions they want to make.

With the support of plenty of money, the students lived up to expectations and responded to all of Chen Han's trust with their inventions and creations one after another.

It is also because of this that Princess Ning An firmly believes that the talents from Daming Engineering College will definitely come to Ningbo to help her.

After listening to Sophia's words, Zhang Juzheng had a new understanding of Sophia, a foreigner who traveled across the ocean.

He had heard that when Chen Han destroyed her father's Governor's Mansion in Haojing, she was watching not far away.

Of course, we have to admire this woman's ability to distinguish between right and wrong. When she found out that her father was actually involved in the crime of trafficking in women, she did not choose to cover up but watched her father being killed.

What is certain is that the woman must have been very heartbroken at the time, but she was able to distinguish what was righteousness.

Now that he has come to the Ming Dynasty, he is able to cooperate with Chen Han to build the Daming Engineering College, and he is doing so well here, which is really rare.

It would be better if there were more foreigners like this.

After listening to Sophia's words, Guo Feixue couldn't help but complain: "Princess Ning'an doesn't dare to come directly to us to ask for the return of the person. She must be feeling guilty."

Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything when he heard her words. This was an internal struggle between them and had nothing to do with him as an outsider. He could only say that having too many women was not a bad thing sometimes, just like now.

After everything was agreed upon, Zhang Juzheng planned to leave.

However, Guo Feixue still had a question: "Master Zhang, can we ask if it is really as Princess Ning'an said, with the imperial court taking the lead and other merchants participating in building several wide roads, would anyone really be so foolish as to come in? This is a bottomless pit of investment, and it is simply not something that ordinary merchants can afford."

Zhang Juzheng sat back down after hearing this and said, "Miss Guo, you asked a very good question."

Since Sofia also comes from a business background, she was very curious about why building such a big road required all vendors to participate.

Can this really be done?

When we heard this, we all felt that it was a bit unreasonable, not to mention the vendors.

After all, this kind of investment must be very huge, and it is hard to believe that those profit-seeking businessmen would agree to it if there were no benefits.

Zhang Juzheng explained: "According to the letter Her Royal Highness wrote to me, there is one sentence that says that it has always been the Duke's idea to start the road construction plan."

Oh!
When the two women heard that it was Chen Han’s idea, they suddenly felt a little unbelievable.

She didn't expect that her man, who was now far away in Japan, could still command Princess Ning'an's actions across the vast ocean.

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly explained: "It's not that he is in control of it personally, but he has subtly told Princess Ning'an about the plan many times. Princess Ning'an is just slowly realizing the Duke's idea now."

After Zhang Juzheng's explanation, everyone knew what was going on.

At first, they thought that Chen Han treated Princess Ning An in a special way and even gave her personal guidance.

Unlike us now, we are just crossing the river by feeling the stones. It is not easy to get to where we are today.

"It turns out that the Duke is supporting her from behind. I was wondering why she would have such an idea." Guo Feixue felt relieved.

When Zhang Juzheng saw the expressions of the two women, he knew how much they cared about Chen Han's feelings and were afraid that they would lose their status in Chen Han's heart.

Chen Han must be such an outstanding person to receive such treatment.

After thinking for a while, Guo Feixue said, "How to punish the Duke is one thing, but now you should tell us how to make money. We are very interested."

Zhang Juzheng explained: "Her Royal Highness's letter to us did not state it clearly, but it was actually about taking advantage of the situation. Since the merchants over there want silver, we should give it to them.

What the Ming Dynasty lacks the least now is silver. As long as a large amount of silver is spent, there will be people willing to pick up the leftovers behind.

According to the Duke's idea, the first thing to do is to have the imperial court invest a large sum of money to stimulate the enthusiasm of the whole county to build roads. Then, based on the number of merchants recruited, they would negotiate with them about taxation and give these merchants preferential tax exemptions.

Then there are the people selling sand and gravel along the way.

This is a huge investment, and there is no telling how many businesses along the way will participate. When they see the bustling scene and the easy money to be made, how can they not agree?

In addition, if a road is repaired, it will not only provide convenience to passers-by doing business, but also to local people who can sell their own local products along the way.

There are even shops along the way, which are naturally divided among the participating businesses.

These are also the benefits of investing in it.

This is just what I can imagine. There are many things I can't imagine. In short, following the court to build roads will definitely have advantages and no disadvantages."

After hearing what Zhang Juzheng said, Guo Feixue stood up and said, "Since you, Lord Zhang, said it's a good thing, then we, the White Lotus Sect, will spread the news of the Duke's feat in the martial arts world and help him find more businesses willing to join.

Anyway, according to what you said, as long as there are businesses joining in, it’s a good thing.” Zhang Juzheng was so happy when he heard Guo Feixue say this.

"Great! It would be a good thing if the White Lotus Sect could get involved."

The White Lotus Sect now has a large number of members, and is most suitable to act like a mouthpiece.

The next step was to discuss some specific arrangements. After the discussion, Guo Feixue had an idea.

"Anyway, it's already been discussed, and I don't have much to do in the capital right now. I was born in Jiangnan.

I can take this opportunity to help Princess Ning'an with her publicity and go to Jiangnan.

If I go, I will definitely give Princess Ning An a surprise, and at the same time let Princess Ning An know that Chen Han has many young people at home.

Even if you are still charming, you still need to be careful about your words and actions."

What Guo Feixue meant was that she was relatively young, which was an advantage no matter what.

Princess Ning'an actually wanted to laugh when she heard what Guo Feixue said. No wonder Zhang Juzheng wanted her to tell them about this in a roundabout way.

Because there are so many love-hate relationships between these three people, especially there must have been some grudges between Guo Feixue and Princess Ning An, otherwise they would not be so unable to bear to see the other person's achievements surpass their own. Once they have such grudges, they will immediately think about how to surpass the past, otherwise they will feel very uncomfortable.

It is under the influence of this mentality that they continue to compete.

Of course, this is understandable, because to be honest, Guo Feixue is young and beautiful now, while Princess Ning An is already in her thirties. But the strange thing is that Chen Han seems to have more confidence in Princess Ning An.

On the one hand, it may be true that Princess Ning'an is older, and many things are better to discuss with Princess Ning'an than with Concubine Guo.

To put it bluntly, there are many things that Guo Feixue may not understand.

Although Guo Feixue has some experience in the world, it has to be said that due to her age, she does not understand many things.

Another reason is that Princess Ning'an has been in officialdom for many years, and her experience is definitely not comparable to that of a young girl like Guo Feixue.

The second reason is that Princess Ning'an's connections in the business world are beyond the reach of Guo Feixue.

So most of the time Chen Han would leave more important things to Princess Ning An.

It was precisely because of this that Guo Feixue was very unwilling to accept the fact. Although she knew that Princess Ning'an would reach Chen Han before her, her competitive spirit was to make Princess Ning'an accept the fact.

So now she just happens to have the opportunity to go to Jiangnan right away. That place is her hometown, so she must have more experience there.

"Since Your Royal Highness the Princess is having such a hard time in Ningbo, and I've just sorted out everything here, I'll reluctantly go to Jiangnan." Guo Feixue said proudly.

Sophia laughed and said, "Why did you go to that place just because you were jealous? You swore that you were much younger than the princess, and that you were as good-looking as the princess. Why are you scared now? Are you afraid that the Duke will abandon you?"

When Guo Feixue heard Sihao exposing her shortcomings in front of Zhang Juzheng, she immediately refused to give in and snorted, "I am doing this for the sake of family and country. Didn't I listen to what Zhang Ge Lao said? This moment is about the implementation of the court's national policy.

Moreover, I used to be in the underworld and didn’t know the ins and outs of it, but now I know all about it. In fact, according to the Duke’s idea, building roads is a must. He once told me that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Without a good road, how can I make the Ming Dynasty take off? "

Hearing her speak so arrogantly, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help laughing.

Although the girl Guo Feixue is only nineteen years old, everyone can see from her old-fashioned appearance that she is not dedicated to the great cause of the Ming Dynasty at all.

She just couldn't stand Princess Ning'an making great achievements in Ningbo alone, and wanted to snatch the credit from Princess Ning'an.

In fact, Sophia is quite envious of Guo Feixue, because both she and Princess Ning An have to stay in one place for a long time to achieve results, while Guo Feixue can go anywhere.

After Zhang Juzheng conveyed what Princess Ning'an wanted him to do, he didn't say anything else. Instead, he sat in the teahouse seriously sipping tea and watching the two girls, Guo Feixue and Sophia, bickering with each other.

In fact, it would be great if life could be like this, and these women seem to be capable people, not just vases.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Chen Han is a winner in life. Not only is he in a high position at a young age, he has also made many outstanding achievements, and he is not inferior even when it comes to women.

I heard that there were more than a dozen beautiful palace maids serving, plus these two very capable women, and even the very strong woman that is Princess Ning'an. These women are completely good wives and helpers.

Life!
That's it.

Zhang Juzheng always felt that his life was enviable enough, but he didn't expect that compared with Chen Han, his life still had some flaws.

……

Guo Feixue's execution ability was very shocking. After the discussion, on the fifth day he took the talents selected by Sophia from Daming Engineering College and headed south in a mighty manner.

Now the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect has been moved to the capital according to Chen Han’s instructions.

In fact, Guo Feixue also understood that this was to facilitate the court's surveillance. Of course, this was also a last resort. If your power was too strong and nothing could curb your development, then you would be close to being banned.

Now that her father Guo Tieshan is in charge of the White Lotus Sect headquarters, she feels very relieved.

When she went there this time, her father also sent a letter to the leader of the Jiangnan branch, asking the branch to obey Hou Guo Feixue's orders.

The reason why the White Lotus Sect has been able to develop so well and transform so quickly today is entirely due to Chen Han’s support, and the White Lotus Sect is very grateful.

Everyone in the White Lotus Sect knows that Guo Feixue is the Duke's woman. Guo Feixue now represents the Duke, so they must obey his orders.

Princess Ning'an of Ningbo was so happy to learn that the person who brought the talented people to the south of the Yangtze River was actually Guo Feixue, the little girl who was so arrogant in Chen Han's mansion, that she giggled.

The news was passed down by Li Hai. Since it was the brothers of Jinyiwei who escorted Guo Feixue to Jiangnan, the Tax Inspection Department would of course be the first to know the news.

Li Hai knew that Guo Feixue was the saint of the White Lotus Sect, but he didn't know that she had other identities. When he saw Princess Ning'an's expression, he immediately understood that Princess Ning'an must know.

Princess Ning An did not hide it from everyone present, and said to the people below: "You must serve this little girl who came south this time carefully. She is not only the saint of the White Lotus Sect, but also the woman of the Duke. She may even become the Duke's wife in the future!"

With a hum, everyone present was shocked by the news...
