The unscrupulous elder sister

Chapter 98 Preparing to Rescue Four Baozi (2)
Now San Francisco has just settled down, and people's livelihood is gradually recovering. If you don't take this opportunity to buy a few shops, the land price will increase when the economy recovers. Hey, it's a pity that I didn't have time to buy it a few years ago. It must be cheaper. .

By the way, this also reminds Baocheng.

After inspecting the hot spring village, it was basically completed, and the five-acre pond that Ming Rong specially explained had already been dug.Fortunately, it was originally a depression.The living water was brought in, and then followed the waterway around half of Zhuangzi, but now there is nothing in the pond, only a sparkling pool of clear water.It may be because of the proximity to the hot springs that it did not freeze in such a cold weather.

Ming Rong stroked her chin, as if there were colorful lotus seeds left by the cheap master in the space, why don't you get some out for this kind of thing?Or go to Kangxi to ask for it?

"Rong Ruo has seen the princess before."

Ming Rong turned her head and smiled slightly, "Why is Brother Rong Ruo here today?"

"I saw that Zhuangzi was almost built, and it happened that I was not on duty today, so I came back to have a look."

"Let Brother Rong Ruo worry about it."

"I don't dare, but I have another matter to report to the princess. Except for the place where Zhuangzi and the pond are built, nearly half of the remaining land is forest, another third is mountainous land, and the remaining two is farmland. I don't know the princess. What's the plan?"

Ming Rong laughed. Originally, the village was built at the foot of the mountain, and included the largest hot springs, so the other Ming Rong didn't care too much. She wanted to occupy this land at the beginning. , it is just to have an excuse not to live in the palace in the future winter, so this Zhuangzi should really be in the other garden.

"I want to plant medicinal materials in the farmland, and I will arrange to plant fruit trees in the mountains. There is no need for major reconstruction in the mountains and forests. You can go wild, ride and hunt if you have nothing to do. It's just that you may need to buy some slaves and hire some farmers. Brother Rong Ruo needs to worry about Ming Rong."

"The princess is serious."

Ming Rong blinked, and didn't say anything else, she just wanted to treat Rong Ruo to dinner, but he declined.

Ming Rong didn't force her, and followed him slowly to the stables, while asking casually, "What do you think of Brother Rong Ruo's problem in Taiwan?"

Rong Ruo was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Such a reckless discussion of government affairs..."

Ming Rong burst out laughing, "Brother Rong Ruo is really cautious, but Ming Rong just thought that there are fewer and fewer foreign goods in the capital, and was wondering why, so she vaguely heard that it was because of the sea ban. The pier is very difficult and complicated, so I want to ask whether this statement is true or not."

Rong Ruo rubbed his nose and said, "This is true. In the first year, in order to defend against Zheng Chenggong's attack, the emperor ordered a sea ban in Chaozhou, moving the coastal residents to the interior for fifty miles, and another fifty miles in three years. Going out to sea to fish and trade was prohibited. In the fifth year of Kangxi, Chenghai County was even abolished and merged into Haiyang County, and it was not restored until eight years later. In the tenth year of Kangxi, the sea ban was reaffirmed, and ships from Fujian and Guangdong provinces were not allowed to cross the ocean. Until now..."

Rong Ruo looked up at the sky, and sighed again, "I was only seven years old at the time, so I didn't know it very well, I only vaguely remembered that when I moved the world back then, I killed a lot of people..."

Ming Rong nodded slightly, and followed his words: "It's all Zheng Chenggong's fault, otherwise Huang Ama wouldn't have made such a decision."

"This is natural, the emperor is a wise monarch."

"Then Zheng Chenggong has been making moves all these years?"

Rong Ruo smiled, "Zheng Chenggong has already passed away. He passed away shortly after the emperor ascended the throne. Later, his eldest son, Zheng Jing, inherited everything from his father. This Zheng Jing was also a restless one. When the San Francisco war broke out, Zheng Jing Colluded with Geng Jingzhong, led the army westward to Fujian, occupied Xiamen, and occupied Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and Chaozhou, and then captured Huizhou, Guangdong, but later because of unequal interests, he and Geng Jingzhong became enemies. After Wu Sangui passed away, Zheng Jing The forces retreated and could only defend Xiamen. In 19, the emperor sent someone to persuade Zhu Tiangui, the vice-governor of the Zheng Jun Navy, to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Jing gave up Xiamen and returned to Taiwan with his troops.

Rong Ruo looked at Ming Rong's curious expression, smiled and continued, "After Zheng Jing's death, Feng Xifan joined forces with Zheng Jing's younger brother and others to launch a coup d'état and succeeded in assassinating Zheng Kemiao, Zheng Jing's second son. Inheriting his father's so-called Yanping throne. Zheng Keshuang is very young now, only 12 years old, so he is assisted by his uncle Zheng Cong. Zheng Cong is greedy and cowardly. In fact, everything depends on Feng Xifan and Liu Guoxuan. Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan are also known as the Three Heroes of Taiwan, how can they be simple figures?"

Shaking her head while talking, Ming Rong said with a smile, "Whether he is a simple person or not, Huang Ama will definitely destroy him anyway. Besides, the more chaos in Taiwan, the better for our Qing Dynasty."

Rong Ruo laughed, "That's natural, but the Zheng family is really insane. Our Qing Dynasty sent people to negotiate peace nine times, but all failed. It's simply unreasonable!"

Ming Rong curled her lips, "We need to give this kind of disobedient person a good beating, he knows it hurts so he doesn't dare to act presumptuously."

"You're still young, this can't be solved with a random beating." Rong Ruo smiled, and then warned, "I can only talk to the princess about this today, and the princess can't talk about it anywhere else."

Ming Rong laughed, "Naturally, I just wanted to find a few books by foreigners to read."

"I will take care of the princess."

Ming Rong smiled slightly, "Then I would like to thank Brother Rong Ruo."

After the two bid farewell, Ming Rong also returned to the palace, and ran to Ningshou Palace as soon as she came back. She was determined to change the two-meal system to three-meal system, how could she give up halfway.The queen mother and Xiaozhuang have begun to enter the state these days.

"Sister." As soon as she stepped into the Ningshou Gate, Ming Rong's legs were hugged by a snow dumpling, and the little bun looked up at her with grievances, his dark eyes were full of grievances, "Sister."

"What's wrong with Xiao Wu, who bullied you, Xiao Wu, tell my sister quickly, and my sister will help Xiao Wu vent her anger." Ming Rong picked up Xiao Baozi, and even bumped it twice.

"Dummy, I'm hungry." Xiao Baozi elongated his voice aggrievedly, pouted and hugged her neck pitifully.

Ming Rong pinched his round face and said with a smile, "Eat when you're hungry. Could it be that Huang Ma doesn't allow you to have snacks?"

"Don't eat..." The little bun lay on her shoulder and shook his head.

The Empress Dowager over there supported Yuxue's arm and stood on the porch with a smile, "I'm waiting for your sister, otherwise you really won't import anything today."

"Huang Ma, why are you standing here? It's cold outside, hurry up and go in." Ming Rong hurried over with Xiao Wu in her arms.
