I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

If it didn't look easy to mess with, the British would have set up warship cannons and asked Ming to open up the financial market.

Of course, what they don't know is that although Zhu Fugui is not very proficient in finance, he really wants to play. Daiying in this era really doesn't know who is playing whom!

Subprime mortgages, various debt portfolios as assets...

Zhu Fugui couldn't understand all kinds of unimaginable "financial innovations" by the black wolves of Wall Street in later generations, but finding some ideas and excerpts to inspire Julie was enough for this woman with outstanding business talents to continue to evolve.

But in any case, this era is still an era where entities are king, and the power of financial capital has not yet fully bared its fangs.

Zhu Fugui still puts more energy into monitoring the real industry.

As the highest decision-maker of the empire, Zhu Fugui set the tone. Naturally, officials from various ministries will plan how to plan and develop.

The salary set by the imperial court is definitely high now, so it would not be difficult for Hongwu to not be corrupt or corrupt and even support a family.

But, throughout the ages, it has been as difficult as heaven for officials not to be corrupt.

Even Zhu Fugui's ancestors, peeling off the bark and real grass can't stop the princes of the court.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui basically did not expect his government to be absolutely clean.

However, relatively clean and efficient administration is a must.

Jinyiwei is Zhu Fugui's most reliable force.

Compared with the popular and well-known Nanzhen Fusi, the Beizhen Fusi is much more mysterious and unpredictable.

It is nothing more than an internal security force to deal with emergencies and quell rebellion and civil strife. The essence of Beizhen Fusi lies in the investigative, espionage, intelligence, and secret service departments with various numbers and complex numbers.

For example, Quan Daming knows that the [White Hound] organization exists with no more than 10 people.

The members of [White Hound] are all white orphans, and they are not born with Ming nationality.

From a legal point of view, only when they sacrificed their lives for Ming Dynasty, or retired from the military safely, would they automatically become citizens of Ming Dynasty.

Apart from them, there are only a handful of people who know the existence of this organization, less than 10 people.

As for the complete list of [White Hounds], there are only 3 people from the fourth rank, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Wang Pinren, code-named "Dog Whistle";

(The grade of military officers of Jinyiwei, the fourth Ming Empire, has been improved compared to previous dynasties.)

Among them, Wang Pinren, a thousand households, did not appear in the court proclamation at all.

Even a few higher-level Jinyiwei colleagues and commanders only know the existence of "dog whistle", but don't know who it is.

In fact, Wang Pinren's public identity is a kind-hearted rich man, or a noble philanthropist who runs an ordinary orphanage.

But such an orphanage, which looks harmless to humans and animals, is the most important training base for secret agents in Ming Dynasty.

And when the trained [White Hounds] left the orphanage, they no longer called Wang Pinren the dean, but called him "that gentleman".

……

In addition to [White Hound], there are many mysterious organizations.

The organization that is responsible for the investigation of domestic officials' integrity is equivalent to the Disciplinary Inspection Commission and the Independent Commission Against Corruption is called "Red Bird".

The bird is the ancient name of the woodpecker.

"That bird is good at pecking wood."

"This bird cracks open trees to get food from moths, hence the name 鴷."

"Ding Ding Xiangwan is anxious and scarce, pecking at the locust trees in the courtyard but not returning. He spends all day eliminating moths for the king, so he flies around frequently for nothing."

It can be said that since ancient times, woodpeckers have been a good doctor for eliminating insects and diseases in trees in the eyes of ancient Chinese people.

Although modern zoologists have discovered that woodpeckers may have harmed far more trees than they have saved, this does not prevent the folks from giving woodpeckers a beautiful meaning.

【Red Bird】Like a woodpecker, it pecks away the layers of camouflage and pulls out the silverfish from the rotten wood.

This time, the four major projects were carried out at close locations at the same time, and Zhu Fugui's bird was about to get busy again.

A small shoemaker in Georgia can imprison 1400 million people on the Gulag Islands (the number is doubtful, it may be dirty water). Zhu Fugui thinks that after the unification of the Ming Dynasty, the population is at least twice that of the Soviet Union, and 2 million people will be sent to the Aleutians to grow potatoes. It is not difficult.

But if there is such a day, I am afraid that the Aleutian walrus and the Kodiak brown bear will become extinct in place.

At least for now, Daming has only locked 600 people in the Aleutian labor farm, and the potential is still very large.

If anyone dares to think about the project, especially the internal funds of the Long Live God, then it is necessary to give a one-way ticket to the elegant seat of the Aleutian Farmhouse.

Chapter 421 Bismarck Visits

Zhu Fugui's holy car returned 3 days earlier than expected.

Of course it wasn't because of the little elk's excessive demands on his buttocks, Zhu Tianzi put up his avoidance card to avoid Fengdu.

Instead, an urgent telegram from Xinhu over the mountains forced Zhu Fugui to interrupt his sweet vacation and return early.

The reason why the telegram came from Xinhu is because among the cities that have been connected to the telegram, Xinfeng is the closest to the Great Salt Lake area.

The chief secretary of Xinsu got a caravan of camels from nowhere, hung the camel bells, climbed the mountain and crossed the Great Salt Lake desert. It took only 5 days to find a certain unit of the Wumu army that was guarding Zhu Tianzi.

Then the telegram was quickly delivered to Zhu Fugui's imperial court.

Zhu Fugui was boating on the Great Salt Lake at this time.

The boat was in a mess, with suspicious traces everywhere.

Julie had already wrapped her whole body in loose clothes, and only her sweaty hair showed the enthusiasm just now.

Doing such strenuous exercise in the middle of the lake, Zhu Fugui is not afraid of capsizing.

Water can carry a boat and it can overturn it.

Not so with the water of the Great Salt Lake.

This is the lake with the highest salt content in the Western Hemisphere. Similar to the Dead Sea, there are no fish in the lake, and people can easily float on the level.

This may also be the reason why salt-tolerant Artemia can reproduce in large numbers.

The guard rode a water scooter, gave Zhu Fugui a military salute, and then fled away.

The younger brother is very knowledgeable, but Zhu Fugui is not in a hurry to continue to rock the boat, but reads the telegram.

The content of the telegram has nothing to do with Xinhu.

Because this is a diplomatic letter, a letter of credence written by King William I of Prussia to Emperor Zhu Fugui of the Ming Dynasty.

The main content of the national letter is to say hello to Zhu Fugui and wish Zhu Fugui a happy birthday.

Zhu Fugui's birthday is not a secret, it has been written about in the newspapers, so it is not surprising that William knows.

If Comrade Vladimir's wish for Lao Quedeng's health seems meaningful, William I's blessing to Zhu Fugui seems quite kind.

It would have been kinder if he hadn't added the "Dahastduja Schweingehabt!"

The literal meaning of this sentence is: "I wish you a pig", which is extended to the meaning of blessing.

William I probably made a special study of Chinese customs. He heard that Chinese people love to eat pork and are good at cooking pork.

This is very similar to the Germans, so I want to get close.

Among European and American countries, Germany is the one that loves pigs the most.

German sausages are famous, but bacon, pork knuckle and bacon are also special.

Before converting to Christianity, the primitive religions in Germany believed that pigs were sacred animals, similar to the zebu in India, with a high status, but they could be slaughtered.

Even in the nineteenth century, Germans still say the word "pig" when good things happen, and send pig mascots to relatives and friends during festivals.

Obviously, Brother William doesn't know what status pigs are in China.

Not to mention the love and hatred that Lao Zhu's family has had with pigs for hundreds of years.

William I even said in the letter that he would send some sausages made by himself to Zhu Fugui to taste.

Let's put it this way, if the chief of Fanbang had written such a letter to Comrade Zhu Baba four hundred years earlier, it would not be impossible for Old Zhu to move the Sixth Division in a fit of anger.

Fortunately, Zhu Fugui has always been an elegant and easy-going person, and his temper is much better than that of his grandfather.

This can be seen from the fact that he has only surpassed Ling Chi in the five years since he founded the country.

Take the name of the good person to the real return.

Zhu Fugui did not get angry, and patiently read William's letter.

Zhu Fugui didn't expect that brother William had such deep feelings for him as an older brother, and he couldn't finish writing congratulatory letters, and even said that he would send someone to celebrate Zhu Fugui's birthday.

And the person he was going to send was named Bismarck.

Bismarck came to celebrate his birthday... what a ghost!

If the Prussian consul in Xinhu came to wish Zhu Fugui a birthday, Zhu Fugui could barely understand.

After all, on Xingzhen's birthday, the Prussian consul in Tianjin also received a bribe from Xingzhen to attend.

The Qing side collected money to celebrate birthdays, and the Ming side gave gifts to celebrate birthdays. It is not impossible for the Prussians to do this kind of thing.

The problem is, this time it was actually Bismarck who wanted to come to Fengdu in person, and he also asked Daming to keep it a secret.

Zhu Fugui knows with his ass thinking, the Prussians are drunk and don't want to drink!

I'm afraid it's fake for them to congratulate themselves, but it's true that they want to make big news!

Historically, just after the end of the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, the French ambassador signed an agreement with Bismarck, "If Prussia agrees to France's expansion to the Rhine River Basin, France agrees to Prussia's unification of Germany."

It is precisely because of this agreement that William I has always held a negative attitude towards the development of France in history.

It can be said that it was Bismarck who presumptuously used the "Eames Telegram" incident to force William I to make up his mind to breastfeeding.

In a sense, William I and Nassan are mirror people.

如果说拿三的数值大概是政治3、外交2、军事0的话（相比朱祁镇老叔爷1、1、0已经很强了），威廉一世很可能是225左右。

If it weren't for Bismarck being too evil, William I would never have reached the height of being emperor.

In fact, Bismarck rose up against the trend with a group of Feila's vulgar Junker nobles. It has to be said that the title of the little European Dr. Xing is well deserved.

But in today's time and space, things have changed a little bit.

Last year, Ming captured Napoleon III in Mexico, which led to the collapse of the Second French Empire. Naturally, no one signed a secret agreement with Prussia to allow them to unify.

Moreover, after experiencing major defeats and civil strife, France seems to be far easier to deal with than in the original time and space.

Therefore, even William I thought that he would be sorry for the ancestors of Shinra if he didn't do anything to France at this time.

Therefore, the king and prime minister of Prussia have now reached an unprecedented unity of opinion.

That is to defeat the French who control the southern German states behind the scenes, and realize the unification of Germany except Austria.

And to achieve this, the British Empire is naturally the most important link.

In a sense, it is technically possible to defeat France only by stabilizing the British and allowing them to continue their glorious isolation policy.

This required Bismarck's superb mediation skills and diplomacy.

The second is to find more allies.

It is now 1867, three years earlier than 1870, when the Franco-Prussian War began in history.

Don't underestimate the past three years. Due to the fight against Denmark the year before and Austria last year, Prussia's war potential has not been well recovered.

But France happened to be at its weakest, and such an opportunity could not wait.

So even at the risk of domestic smoke, William wanted to give it a go.

To increase your chances of success, it is crucial to find allies you can trust.

However, Prussia is now very poor and has limited resources to make allies.

Good steel must be used wisely.

Currently Prussia's most important ally is the Italians who fought together in the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War last year.

Although Italian soldiers played a limited role in last year's war, they were the only allies Prussia could find on the Continent.

And because of the invasion of the Pope, Italy was also suppressed by the French.

Therefore, in this war against France, there is a high probability that Italy will still support Prussia.

William I was relieved to have such a reliable ally.

In addition to Italy, Prussia was also looking for new allies.

If you can't find it in Europe, look outside of Europe.
