little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 94
The history books of the past dynasties have left their names, and it is not uncommon to see rich people who are famous in history. In ancient times, there was Deng Tong Shichong, who was rich in the world. Today, Shen Wansan at the beginning of the founding of the country helped Zhu Yuanzhang build a third of the Nanjing City Wall with his own efforts, and asked for funding to reward the army. However, in exchange for Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion and fury: "Every man dares to reward the emperor's army with ulterior motives, so he should be punished immediately!"

These lives are different at the same time, but the endings are surprisingly similar.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, and the rafters of the early ones must rot first.

Everyone in Dageng County knew that the Mo family was rich, but no one knew that the Mo family was so rich.

The big tent was silent, Xiong Tingbi stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth wide, looking at him as if this was the first time he knew Mo Jiangcheng. Zhu Changluo remained calm, but his eyes seemed to be beating quietly with fire.

Once cement is made, its wide application can be imagined, and it can be foreseen that it will be a steady stream of wealth. Zhu Changluo has hundreds of years more experience than these people present, so he is well aware of this, but Mo Jiangcheng Can a contemporary businessman really have such insight and vision?How dare he be so sure that this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money?

200 million taels is indeed a shockingly generous sum. Compared with this surprise, he cares more about Mo Jiangcheng's real intentions. He needs a reason.

Mo Jiangcheng quickly gave him the reason.

"Jiangcheng has read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and many sages and sages thought he understood at that time. But after so many years of ups and downs in the business world, and the tragic death of Lan Xin, Jiangcheng finally understands that even if you are rich in the world, what can you do? In front of the rich and powerful, they are nothing but chickens and dogs."

Mo Jiangcheng smiled wryly, "It is said in the book that a person's career is as big as his heart, and if he has a vision of a hundred years, he will have a career of a hundred years! Jiangcheng has been struggling in the world for more than [-] years, and he didn't really understand it until today. I understand the truth of this sentence. Jiangcheng is willing to give up all his family wealth to help His Highness achieve success, and I just ask His Highness not to despise Jiangcheng for being stupid and incompetent."

Not hesitating to expose his bottom line and give away all his wealth, this will be the biggest deal he has ever done in his life, and he may only do it once in his life!
Taking a deep look at Mo Jiangcheng, Zhu Changluo suddenly laughed, "It's really a great fortune for us to have a talent like Brother Mo. In the future, even if we become a six ministers and nine ministers, we will be more than prepared." A little bit of Qingming who has insight into the world.

"Since this is the case, I have an important matter to entrust to Brother Mo."

The heart that Mo Jiangcheng had been holding so tightly suddenly loosened. Before he knew it, there was a thin layer of cold sweat on his head. He couldn't escape the eyes of the little prince. It's whether Zhu Changluo can accept his sincerity.

A burst of ecstasy followed by a burst of apprehension. His intuition told him that what Zhu Changluo was going to say must be a big deal. He fixed his eyes on Zhu Changluo, afraid that his mouth would say something that he couldn't do. "Your Highness, feel free to say anything, but if Jiangcheng can do it, he will go through fire and water."

"It's not that difficult. Now I have a few words that I want to explain to Brother Mo." Zhu Changluo looked at him with a smile in his clear and calm eyes. "Brother Mo is a rich man, and his family must be living a good life."

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such an unreliable sentence. Mo Jiangcheng felt like punching cotton for a while. Mo Jiangcheng subconsciously glanced at Xiong Tingbi and Ye He. The other two were also puzzled. After a moment, he replied: "The life of the Mo family is indeed worry-free, but the merchants are humble, and they are still looked down upon after all."

"People talk about scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen. Business ranks last. Reading can govern the country and prosper the country. Doing business can enrich the country and strengthen the people. Farming can provide food and clothing for people. Working can develop technology. In my opinion, the four are equally important. One is indispensable. Without that How noble, and not as lowly as that, Brother Mo must not be arrogant, all this is not monolithic, and it is not difficult to change!"

Mo Jiangcheng's heart was pounding. He is a smart person. Thinking of Zhu Changluo's identity, these words inevitably made him think further, but will there really be such a day?

"Brother Mo has been in business for many years and has traveled all over the country. He must know more about the lives of the local people than I do. How do you think about the lives of the people today?"

Mo Jiangcheng couldn't keep up with the leaping thinking of this young Prince Rui, and was a little caught off guard by this sudden question.

"This... this Jiangcheng dare not speak rashly."

It's true that you can't make false statements, but it doesn't mean you don't know.

There are Japanese pirates in the south and Mongolian plunder in the north. Since the tenth year of Wanli, although there have been no major battles, small fights have continued one after another. Natural disasters and man-made disasters in various places have made the situation worse. Everywhere is homeless, and this trend is intensifying.

"The current Daming is no longer the Daming of the former Taizu and Chengzu period!" Zhu Changluo's voice became sonorous and forceful, "The current Daming, let alone a big storm, may not be able to survive even a small storm! Sit and wait and see It cannot be done, foreign enemies and robbers have to be beaten out, corrupt officials have to be found out and eliminated, and the unequal system has to be overthrown and rebuilt, only in this way can the status quo be changed, the people will be happy when the country is strong, and the people will be safe if the country is rich.”

The amount of information contained in a few sentences is huge, if you want to ask how Mo Jiangcheng feels, just look at his wide open mouth.

"Mo Jiangcheng only found out today that His Highness is the real person with great ambitions!"

There was blood and excitement in Mo Jiangcheng's eyes, and these words really came from the bottom of his heart.It's ridiculous that I just said that I have a century-old vision and can establish a century-old career, but in a few words from this His Highness, his vision is ten times or a hundred times higher than his own. Compared with him, he is really a firefly competing with a bright moon.

When he was convinced, that cold and snowy voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "No matter what the little prince wants you to do, you just go ahead and do it."

Recalling last night, when the cool wind was blowing on his body, it was extremely cold. Mo Jiangcheng came all the way to hear the sound of the moonlight. He turned along the path and suddenly stopped. Qingying flew straight into the eyes.

There was a bright full moon above her head, and the endless moonlight was reflected on her body like snow and silver frost, like a plum blossom with snow falling.The sound of the flute has stopped, the sound is like jade and stone colliding, and the sound is pleasant: "The flute is confused when it meets a bosom friend, and we meet on a moonlit night. The concubine Su Yingxue, dare to ask your name?"

There was a loud noise in Mo Jiangcheng's mind, and he felt that everything in the world was dead. He raised his head in a daze, and looked out with a glance. A heart fell into a dream of mortals for no reason, and the love of the whole life caused three thousand troubles.

From last night to today, everything seemed real and illusory, and the ups and downs of things made his whole being as unreal as a dream.

Seeing his friend Mo Jiangcheng in a daze, Xiong Tingbi was genuinely overjoyed.

This is the first time Mo Jiangcheng heard it, but it was the second time for Ye He and Xiong Tingbi to hear it. He can definitely understand the strong shock caused by this passage. He, Sun Chengzong, and Ye He heard it for the first time in the Xiayuan study. When these words were spoken, the shock in my heart was worse than that of Mo Jiangcheng at this moment!

This shows that Mo Jiangcheng has been officially accepted by Zhu Changluo from now on, and like himself, Ye He, and Sun Chengzong, he has become one of the most trusted people in His Royal Highness Prince Rui's heart!

"Jiang Cheng, please thank Your Highness quickly, we will be our own people from now on!"

With a single word that awakened the dreamer, Mo Jiangcheng woke up from the dream of the white and clear shadows, and quickly pulled up his clothes and fell to his knees, "Thanks to Your Highness for not giving up, Mo Jiangcheng is willing to follow around and do the work of the saddle horse." Mo Jiangcheng, who was in a state of mind, suddenly found that this young Prince Rui, whether he was standing or sitting, his back was as straight as a sword, and his demeanor was indescribably dignified and rigorous.

"Please hurry up, Brother Mo, you don't need to be too polite." Zhu Changluo quickly pulled him up, and said with a smile: "Brother Mo, don't worry, just do your business with peace of mind. There is something you need to do right now. Do you know Fu?" Long machine man?"

Franji refers to the Portuguese and Spaniards who stayed in the Ming Dynasty, and later became the collective name of all Europeans who entered the Ming Dynasty.After the sea ban was reopened during the Wanli Dynasty, these people traveled thousands of miles to Daming by boat. Some of the newcomers came to trade, and some came to preach.

And Daming has very strict control over these barbarian people, and they are not allowed to enter the mainland at will. These people can only operate in a small range in a few small towns by the sea. Mo Jiangcheng has done business with them many times, and it is all due to their wealth today. Thanks to this, of course, I also know a few of them very well.

Unable to understand the reason why Zhu Changluo asked this, Mo Jiangcheng replied cautiously, "I have had several business contacts with Frangji, and I know one of the captains, whose name is Julian."

"Very good!" Zhu Changluo clapped his hands excitedly, "This is what I want to ask Brother Mo to do. Brother Mo will go get in touch with them and see if they can get a batch of muskets in their hands. It doesn't take much , a hundred or so sticks will do!"

Originally, when he heard the word musket, Mo Jiangcheng trembled in his heart. He had seen the power of this thing before. Even if he had a good relationship with Julian, it might not be easy to do it in large quantities. Calmly, without rushing to agree, he thought about it first, and then replied, "Let Jiangcheng think about it, and think of a perfect solution before it can be implemented."

Zhu Changluo smiled, "It's not urgent, Brother Mo just take it to heart, there is still time."

In fact, the Ming Dynasty already had muskets at this time, but the number was very small. One of the main reasons why Li Chengliang in Liaodong was victorious in all battles was because his army had musketeers. By that time, the power of the musket had gradually become apparent.

Zhu Changluo can make cement, and can easily turn oil into so-called magic fire bombs, but what he wants to do most now is a gun!As a person from the future, he doesn't like the kind of musket in front of him at all. The reason why he asked Mo Jiangcheng to do it is to put it bluntly, he wants to get a few of them for experimentation. The euphemistic name is: learn from it!

The big event was settled here. Mo Jiangcheng spent 200 million taels to buy a business that he didn't regret at all. Zhu Changluo's small team had another excellent core talent. Everyone was happy and satisfied.

In the next few days, Zhu Changluo took Mo Jiangcheng to teach Mo Jiangcheng the method and proportion of cement in detail, and repeatedly asked him to have a chance to find Julian. Zhu Changluo was very interested in this captain from Europe. Seeing the above, Mo Jiangcheng naturally agreed to this request.

After everything was arranged, Mo Jiangcheng was about to say goodbye and set off, but Zhu Changluo didn't stay either. After all, there were a lot of things waiting to be done, and he should also write a note. It was time to greet his father, the emperor.

The night before Mo Jiangcheng left, he went under the laurel tree again.It's a pity that the moon moved away, but there were only a few shadows on the window, and the melody of the piano and the flute was pitiful. I waited until the sky turned white before returning to the residence in a daze. When I came back, I accidentally found a letter paper like snow on the ground. The cold wind suddenly turned into wisps of sweetness.

Mo Jiangcheng had left for a few days, and when the memorial to the emperor had just been written halfway, the Hexiang Mountain camp had guests again.
