I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 590 Lin Wuque's Ambition
But a thought could not help but arise in my heart.

"Zhang Yongri is still the uncle of the court, his brother-in-law, and Zhu Zhanji's uncle. If he goes to Nanjing, he may really be of great use at critical times."

It's just that Nanjing today is like a huge vortex, with countless big pits inside. If one is not careful, even Zhang Yongri, the uncle of the dynasty, may be used by others.

Li Tian had to make a careful choice about this matter.

But after thinking about it, he felt that Zhang Yongri was there for the purpose of building a workshop.

Moreover, there were probably hundreds of workers who went with him. If he planted a few spies from the intelligence department among them, it would be hard for outsiders to notice.

At that time, if any turmoil occurs in Nanjing, the capital will be able to receive some useful news.

In this way, including Zhang Yongri and the undecided He Lin, Li Tian is equivalent to sending four groups of people to Nanjing.

He Lin and Zhou Chen can be regarded as bright detectives, and they are used to sing against the dignitaries in Nanjing and Ma Dazhong.

As for the secret agents of the intelligence department and Xu Jingnian, the imperial envoy who returned to Nanjing first, they sighed secretly.

With such a two-light and two-dark configuration, if he still can't figure out the situation in Nanjing, then Li Tian may really buy a piece of tofu and kill him.

Seeing that Li Tian agreed, the queen happily poured him another full glass of wine,

"Your Majesty, it's very kind of you to agree. The concubine is here. First of all, thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of Yong Ri."

Li Tian smiled indifferently and drank the wine in one gulp, very satisfied.

……

The night was dark, and it was supposed to be the time of silence.

On the East China Sea, at this time, there were two large ships swaying towards the inland direction.

The appearance of these two ships is completely different, even the shape is completely different.

One was obviously a standard warship of the Ming Dynasty, while the other was a dilapidated ship that looked more like a pirate ship.

It looks very strange that these two ships are traveling together. People who don't know why may think that it is one of them who hijacked the other.

On the bow of the warship, there was a person standing against the wind. This person was none other than Zhu Zhanji, who had been hijacked by Tang Saier and others and had disappeared in Daming for nearly a month.

Counting the captured pirates, there are nearly 1000 strong laborers on the island. After nearly half a month of excavation, the treasure of Mingjiao was finally dug out.

And Mingjiao's treasures did not disappoint, although they were not as precious and astonishing as the treasures of the Yuan Dynasty.

But the total value of the hidden things is not low.

After preliminary counting by Tang Wuyang and others, this treasure can be worth tens of millions of taels at least.

Tang Sai'er immediately decided to hand over part of this batch of treasures to Chen Hong and others, and asked him to bring them back to the current imperial court in exchange for the right to freely form overseas colonies in the future.

A small part was given to the Mingjiao disciples on the island and the villages of A Lin and others in return for their outstanding contributions in this treasure digging and the fight against pirates.

Although a large part was given away, the remaining treasures in Tang Saier's hands were still astronomical to ordinary people.

It's just that Tang Sai'er doesn't seem to value money very much, and even her disciples, after receiving this huge sum of money, there is no change in expression.

In contrast, Lin Wuque, who is the current nominal owner of Mingjiao, and Amei, the sister of the village leader, have become small local tyrants worth several 10 taels.

The excitement is beyond words, and every day when I see other people, I almost raise my chest and head up, for fear that others will not know that I am ten rich.

Originally, Lin Wuque hadn't thought much about the money at all, and he didn't care much about the final ownership.

But in the end, after part of the money fell into his hands, he realized it.

If only relying on myself and the few people left in Mingjiao, it would probably take me a lifetime to spend.

Only then did he realize that it would be better to let the rest of the people live happily for the rest of their lives with this little money to save the Mingjiao that has survived in name only.

50 taels of silver is enough for a family of five to survive for ten years.

And 50 taels of silver is enough for 1 families of five to enjoy a carefree and beautiful life.

These Mingjiao disciples on the island first experienced the betrayal of the helmsman, and then saw the strength of the Ming Dynasty's Western Fleet during the fierce battle with the pirates.

Like Lin Wuque, they have no confidence in rebuilding Mingjiao, so everyone has always decided to make good use of the money and start enjoying their future life.

It's not that they haven't thought about returning to the Central Plains with Zhu Zhanji and others and starting their lives again, and Zhu Zhanji also promised them that as long as they don't do evil in the future, they can ask Li Tian to forgive their sins.

But he didn't know whether he was used to the life on the island, or he didn't quite believe Zhu Zhanji's words.

None of them planned to return to the Central Plains.

In the end, they had no choice but to hand over all the money to Lin Wuque, asking him to return to the Central Plains and buy them everything they needed to settle on the island.

As for what is most needed to settle down on the island, these big men and single men who have lived for thousands of years gave a very consistent answer, that is to find a wife.

So Lin Wuque had an extra responsibility on his back, which was to help the hundred or so big men on the island find wives.

This matter seems to be very difficult, but for Lin Wuque, who has hundreds of thousands of huge sums of money at this time, it is not a problem at all.

Not to mention, in those disaster-stricken places, as long as there are stutterers, countless people will sell their sons and daughters. Even if he goes to the romantic places in big cities such as the capital, and just swipe around to gather one or two hundred girls, it's not bad. What a problem.

Of course, if Lin Wuque only had this kind of thought, he would naturally not be worthy of his title as the young master of Mingjiao.

Although he already knew that there was no hope for revival of Mingjiao, he still didn't intend to give up just like that.

Since the Central Plains cannot accommodate Mingjiao, let Mingjiao bloom and bear fruit overseas.

Returning to the Central Plains this time, he planned to help those bachelors make good wives, and also wanted to gather as many people as possible. Those who were still willing to support Mingjiao would be sent to Tongchi Island.

If the number of Mingjiao disciples on the island can reach a certain number, it seems to be a good choice for him to be a local emperor who has no worries about food and clothing on the island by virtue of his status as the young master of Mingjiao.

In this way, he also used another method to regenerate Mingjiao.

Moreover, Daming has no reason to continue to suppress them in the future.

For such a future, Lin Wuque was full of hope, and wished that the boat would go faster, and it would be best to return to the Central Plains immediately, so that he could start his own great cause of Mingjiao revival.
