The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 353 Ding Xiu: "Five thousand taels, it's a deal!"

South, the land of Hangzhou,
When the young generals of the two provinces' naval forces arrived, the place was packed with people.
Looking at the people who came to visit him, Ding Xiu realized at this moment how terrifying the gold content of Zhang Cheng's words was.

Because even if he didn't rob, he could still earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year!

"These guys are too rich, aren't they?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Ding Xiu picked up a list at random and couldn't help but observe it.
After hearing Ding Xiu's words, Zhang Cheng complained: "What's this? Those truly wealthy people haven't shown up yet?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but touch his chin.

In fact, he was quite in agreement with Yan Shifan's policy of encouraging farmers to grow mulberry trees!

After all, nowadays, only by transferring the world economy to business can the situation of Ming Dynasty be revitalized.
But the problem is that the Ming Dynasty is a small peasant economy system. Once farmers are encouraged to grow mulberry trees, it means that the food system will collapse!
But there is a better solution, which is plunder!
Obtain resources from surrounding countries to ensure the smooth development of Ming Dynasty!

That is why Zhang Cheng tried to get Zhang Juzheng to power, because his reforms were further promoting the strengthening of the Ming Dynasty.
But unfortunately, after Zhang Juzheng left, many of his reforms were abolished!
Because he has touched the interests of many people, and it is even equivalent to reaching into other people's pockets to take money!

But this life is different. As long as Zhang Juzheng can stabilize the court, Zhang Cheng will have a way to hold a knife and make them spit out their money!

Moreover, the Ming royal family's Enfeoffment Order must be implemented as soon as possible!

Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would not have been able to stand up completely just by raising tens of thousands of pigs of the Zhu family.

"Let's go to Huating tomorrow to see what's going on."

Knocking on the table, Zhang Cheng showed no regard for the so-called pirates.
After all, when these people came out to plunder, they needed to greet the local gentry, but Zhang Cheng didn't need to. He just took out the Holy Grail and threw it into the sky.

As long as Mazu doesn't refuse, he can board the boat that night and land on Kyushu Island tomorrow morning!
No matter who it is at that time, anyone who stands in his way will be a slave of the Ming Dynasty!
"Huating is Xu Jie's territory, that guy is not easy to deal with!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu couldn't help but become serious.

Because the person who plotted against Xu Jie's son behind the scenes was this guy in front of him!

Not only did Xu Jie lose his position as the second prime minister of the cabinet, but even his son was thrown into prison!

"Don't they like to pretend to be Japanese pirates? I do too, don't you know?"

Looking at Ding Xiu with a smile on his face, Zhang Chengke still remembered that he was the King of Landing in the Song Dynasty!

No matter where it is, he will just go up and grab it.

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Ding Xiu asked doubtfully: "Aren't you a bandit?"

"Yes, when I'm on the shore, I'm called a bandit, and when I'm in the sea, I'm called a fierce bandit!"

Standing up, Zhang Cheng walked out with his hands behind his back and said, "Today I want to teach these gentry a lesson, that is, you can make anyone poorer than me! This is only a few hundred thousand, they are sending beggars away?"

How much did Yan Shifan make in Jiangnan at the beginning? Tens of millions of taels of silver!
No matter how much he gave to Jiajing, one million taels, he himself got nine million taels!

It's really the opposite of Tian Gang! Even the emperor is not as comfortable as him, the little cabinet minister!

But Zhang Cheng is different from Yan Shifan. He is on equal terms with Jiajing!

Jiajing: It’s fifty-fifty, who’s fifty?
Zhang Cheng: You five.
In Hangzhou, the wealthy merchants were still discussing the issue of the two provinces' naval commanders.
After all, Zhang Cheng rose to prominence through military exploits, and people like him are often the most difficult to say hello to!

Because they were from the Imperial Guard, they were a little restrained at first. After all, if they gave too much, wouldn't that clearly indicate there was a problem?

But after seeing that Zhang Cheng accepted everyone who came, everyone realized one thing: it turned out that they were all in the same boat!
Thinking of this, many people's minds became active.
But before they could continue giving gifts, Zhang turned around and headed for Huating, apparently intending to wipe out the Japanese pirates!

Hearing this, the wealthy businessmen were dumbfounded, because this kid was really a fool!
Everyone in Jiangnan doesn’t know that the real “Japanese pirates” are them!
Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the Japanese pirates are not trying to stop coastal defense, but to open up the sea.
Because as long as there is an idea of ​​opening the sea, the Japanese pirates will appear on time! Huating County,
Looking at the navy ship in front of him, Zhang Cheng suddenly felt a little depressed for some reason.

Because he thought that Jiajing would equip him with better warships, but in the end, they were all outdated stuff.

However, it is precisely because of these old-fashioned things that the Ming Dynasty can be so domineering in the neighboring countries!

In the navy camp,
Zhang Cheng sat at the top, looking at the many generals who had come and asked, "Who else hasn't come yet?"

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, except for the Taizhou navy garrison, basically everything is ready!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the people sitting below hurriedly cupped their hands and answered,
Because they are not brainless people. Zhang Cheng came from the Jinyiwei. If they provoke him, wouldn't they be jumping back and forth on the edge of the imperial prison?

"Oh, is there one more person missing? In that case, move his chair out!"

Waving his hand, Zhang Cheng signaled the "Jinyiwei" beside him.
He went forward to carry the chair. Before the Jinyiwei could leave, a man rushed in and said, "General, please forgive me. I am late!"

"You're late? Do you know where this place is? This is the navy. How many people are you going to kill with the word 'late'?"

Slamming the table and roaring, Zhang Cheng could not help but scold: "I don't care who you follow behind to do business, and I don't care who is above you, but I dare to come here today, which proves that His Majesty is behind me. I am here for the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese pirates must be eliminated. No one can help. Listen to me!"

As Zhang Cheng spoke, the generals present were frightened and dared not speak.
Because his pair of scarlet eyes swept over, it really made people dare not look at him!
"I know there are empty salaries, but I can promise that 40% of the spoils will be distributed each time, and the rest will be handed over to the inner treasury. We will send troops tomorrow to eliminate the pirates on the nearby islands first."

Walking outside, Zhang Cheng looked back and said, "If anyone wants to tip off the news, do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you are caught by me, don't blame me for being rude!"

When they heard these words suddenly, those who had something to hide lowered their heads.
Ignoring them, Zhang Cheng returned to the big tent.
Picking up the blueprint, Zhang Cheng began to sketch it.
Seeing a ship appearing in front of him, Ding Xiu approached and asked in confusion: "Can you build a ship?"

"I told you I have never been to school. Do you really believe me?"

Turning his head, Zhang Cheng looked at Ding Xiu and couldn't help but sneer.

Looking at Zhang Cheng in silence, Ding Xiu said, "My master, you know, right?"

"how much is it?"

Without looking at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Because he knew that whenever Ding Xiu said this, it must be because he wanted money!

"Three thousand taels, I only need three thousand taels, and I can cheat my master and the others, bah, call them over!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Ding Xiu couldn't help but become serious.

"I'll give you five thousand taels. If you don't come, I'll punish you by not allowing you to participate in the battle!"

Looking at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"What? You can't join the battle. How can I distribute the troops?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng angrily, Ding Xiu could not help but grit his teeth.

You know, Zhang Cheng said that 40% of the spoils would be distributed. If he didn't participate in the war, he wouldn't even have the right to distribute. That was too cruel!
Ding Baiying: For five thousand taels, you sold out your entire sect!

Ding Xiu: Master, he gave too much!
