There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

After the solar eclipse, people talked about it for two days and then passed. These years, solar eclipses have occurred frequently, and everyone is...a bit used to it.

Wu Youwei is going to send Wantong to sea again.

They haven't celebrated the Double Ninth Festival together in the past few years. Every year, Wantong is at sea, and he is in Shanghai County waiting for him to come back.

It was the same this time. Wantong took people to "Jinghai" again. Similarly, many merchants also sailed to sea to do business.

Wu Youwei didn't know that Wantong went more smoothly this time, and also went further. They went directly to the Ryukyu Islands!

It may only take an hour or two now: How long does it take for a plane to fly around the earth?

But it was different in ancient times.

Moreover, Wantong and the others were chasing pirates and Japanese pirates all the way here. It happened that there were Japanese pirates wantonly robbing Ryukyu, and they were caught by Wantong and the others.

Ryukyu just paid tribute to Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the year, and was patronized by Japanese pirates in autumn. Ryukyu people were actually harassed by Japanese pirates, but they were too weak, and the Japanese country actually coveted Ryukyu, so they let their ronin become Japanese pirates to plunder

Ryukyu is their first supply station, while Daming is the second.

Other maritime countries also ranked third and fourth, but they were far away from them, and the people there were also very tough. Japanese pirates generally had to pay a huge price to get what they wanted.

And they dare not mess with a place like Siam, because Siam has elephant soldiers, and that thing is too huge, giving the Japanese pirates a hundred courage, and they dare not charge up with a sword.

Wantong and the others came at the right time, and they all wiped out the Japanese pirates together.

In fact, others don't want to beat Japanese pirates, because Japanese pirates have no money!

But Wantong was different. He heard Wu Youwei talk about the future, and he didn't want that kind of thing to happen. So after arriving at sea, he would destroy the Japanese pirates when he encountered them.

However, the Japanese pirates who can wander on the sea have not had time to transport their things back to the Japanese country. They still get a lot of spoils, especially the Japanese pirates have the same vision as Daming. Wantong used this as a bait to let other guards who went to sea The general of the army tried his best to hunt down the Japanese pirates and prevent them from returning to the Japanese country.

Pirates must be eliminated, and Japanese pirates must not be let go.

Wu Youwei didn't know about the bravery of the Ming Navy, but he received some businessmen who came to invest in Shanghai County while he was guarding them.

Cheng Pengyun took the initiative to launch glass products this year, and it is said that the sales volume is amazing!

Of course, the profits are also staggering.

This made some merchants in the south think about it, so they inquired about the source of goods one after another. The Cheng family is not a big family that can cover the sky with one hand, and their family is in a critical period of transformation, so it is easy to be inquired about. The whole family of the Cheng family moved to Shanghai County.

Before we moved there, we didn't have this unique business, we just moved there, how obvious!

So they went directly to Shanghai County instead of Cheng's.

If they went, they might know that their trip was wasted, but unfortunately, they didn't go.

Wu Youwei met them as the county magistrate, and he said very politely: "Welcome everyone to invest in Shanghai County, but you should know that the tax exemption policy of Shanghai County is coming to an end soon. When it is time to pay taxes, I hope you will not You're stingy!"

"Where, who doesn't know that under the governance of Daling, Shanghai County is impressive!

"That is, with the order, the development of Shanghai County is obvious to all."

"It is also necessary to pay taxes. We didn't catch up. It's a good time. Time...

Everyone carried the bridal sedan chairs and complimented Wu Youwei for a while. After reading the official article, Wu Youwei politely treated them to a working meal, and then sent them away. After all, his task was to be the county magistrate. It's not attracting investment, this should be handled by Wu Jiaqing, the county magistrate.

But the merchants didn't know the rules in Shanghai County, and seeing that Daling had been playing with them in official articles, he was anxious to send them away again.

One of the businessmen surnamed Zhang said: "Da Ling, I'm here for the glass business, I don't know this glass factory...

"This glass factory is owned by Boss Wanliwan. If you are here for the glass business, you might as well go to him!" Wu Youwei didn't expect that they came here for the glass, and it would be better to hand it over to Wanli. Anyway, if it is In Wu Jiaqing's words, he also took them to see Wanli.

"But hasn't Mrs. Cheng already connected with Boss Wanli?" A businessman surnamed Li couldn't help but said, "I'll go...

"I don't know if Da Ling can give me the honor, please introduce Boss Wan for me...?" Someone wanted to take advantage of Wu Youwei to meet Wan Li.

"You don't have to be like this." Wu Youwei felt that the merchants of Daming were too tired and humble, and it was normal to do business, but they asked to see him as soon as they came.

In the past, all the people who came to Shanghai County were small businessmen, but the ones sitting in front of him were all big businessmen, even bigger than Cheng's.

But such businessmen are all related to some high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Even so, they have no confidence.

"As far as the county knows, the provincial general agent of Glass is Cheng. If you can, you can talk to Boss Wan about agents in other provinces!" Is it always okay for one person to occupy the glass business of one province in the sixty-three provinces?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that the Cheng family could give up this unique business?

Is there any difference between the general agent of the province and the purchase?

"Everyone, everyone!" Wu Youwei said with a smile, "You will know what to do when you go.

In the end, these people went to the glass factory nervously. They didn't know how Wanli managed it. Anyway, when they left, one of them left a bank note of 1 taels of silver as a deposit for the purchase price.

At the same time, the glass factory stepped up its horsepower again, taking advantage of the cooler weather, to quickly produce various glass products, and the flat glass requested by Wu Youwei was under development.

Wantong, who went out to sea, held a pair of binoculars in his hand and looked at the island in the distance. It is said that there is a treasure cave of pirates there.

"This thing works really well!" The lieutenant general also held a pair of binoculars, and he didn't like to put them down, he had to look far away to feel excited.

"Yeah." Wantong snorted, this was something Wu Youwei gave him before he left, and he was terrified at first, this thing is simply the best weapon for scouts on the battlefield.

"The Great Order is really a god!" The lieutenant admired Wu Youwei very much. As soon as he got this thing, he immediately noticed the benefits brought by it, especially the artillerymen.

"Hmm." Wantong was slightly proud.

His people, of course, are the best.

On the observation tower of the warship, a scout was wearing a simple combat uniform, holding a telescope and looking at the vast sea in the distance, with a big smile on his face, this thing is really great!

Suddenly, between the sea and the sky, a shadow appeared.

That's the ship of the pirates!

They didn't know where they were looting, and they came back.

They hurriedly flagged downwards, and the subordinates knew about it, so they went to report. Soon, their warship moved.

The warships were hidden in the corner, and the pirates didn't see them, and they quickly approached the island. After sailing into the harbor, they stopped at a simple pier there. The pirates all disembarked, and then there was a roar It sounded, the last scene that caught the pirate leader's eyes was the warship of the Daming Navy that appeared out of nowhere...

It was not until the end of October that Wantong's army returned to the voyage. This time, the harvest was as rich as ever, and even another gold mine was discovered on another island. This time, it was still reported and sent troops to garrison to catch pirates and Japanese pirates at sea. mining

After the grand welcome ceremony, Vantone came back.But the strange thing is that Zhang Shen also came.

"This is the news from Jinyiwei in Jingli." Zhang Shen said with a straight face, "Look at it!" Wantong frowned after receiving it: "What's going on?

"Our family still wants to ask you!" Zhang Shen said angrily: "You Wanjia, do you really have that thought?"

"No." Wantong shook his head without thinking, "If I really thought that way, I wouldn't come out to lead troops.

Instead, they stayed in Beijing to operate, and their family had already married someone, instead of living an honest life. Even the elder brother, I am afraid that he should have many concubines.Zhang Shen thought about it, it should be like this, but he still said: "Then what's going on?" "I don't know." Wantong's answer was as usual... choking.

"Could it be some kind of conspiracy?" Zhang Shen said, "Aiming at the imperial concubine or the Wan family? Or trying to dictate to the court?"

"It's not Wanjia anyway." Wantong still said the same thing: "It's not Wanjia."

"What's the matter?" Wu Youwei was confused while listening, and didn't want to answer at first, but the more he listened, the more wrong he became, so he spoke out.Zhang Shen handed the things to Wu Youwei casually: "Look at it." Wu Youwei looked at Wantong, this, can he see it? ?Zhang Shen said angrily: "I showed you, what do you see him doing?"

Wantong nodded, Wu Youwei took it, looked at it, it was a translated letterhead, roughly meaning: due to the solar eclipse in September, someone in the court started to move around again, using the prince as an excuse to ask the emperor Fire!As for the candidates for the crown prince, there are now two candidates, one is the first prince, who is Zhu Youtang, who was born by Concubine Wan Gui;ah? Wu Youwei looked at it and said, "Concubine Ji." ...He gave birth to a prince...what's his name? "

"Zhu Youhang. (Add a yuan character next to the wooden character. Jianghu is afraid that it will not be displayed, so I will tell everyone. I checked that word, and the second voice is: yuan.)" Zhang Shen said: "The new third prince has only been born for a hundred days. The fourth prince is only full moon, and there are two pregnant ones who don't know the gender.

Wu Youwei said embarrassingly: "So the ministers in the court think that the emperor has too many sons, so they are going to choose the crown prince?"

Wu Youwei's thinking is the same as that of Emperor Xianzong, because Emperor Xianzong also thought the same way: "Do they think that I am old?"

Emperor Xianzong touched his chin. In order to show his majesty, he was afraid that his tender face would not be able to overwhelm the ministers, so he purposely grew a short beard, but as he grew older, he wanted to look younger again.

"My lord, you are only in your 30s. As the saying goes, you stand at 50, and you are still young. You are not confused at your age. You don't know your destiny until you are 40. You are far behind." Eunuch Huai En is very good at talking: "Even slaves are still young, and they can still serve the emperor for three or forty years."

"You!" Emperor Xianzong stroked his beard and said suddenly, "Go and call Xiaohuazi here."

yes. "Wynn went to the door and called Xiao Huazi to serve him.

Xiao Huazi is a little eunuch with a wink, he doesn't know anything else, but he learned the art of shaving from an old eunuch in the palace, which is very good.

Eunuch Huai'en also knew about him, so he called him to follow him, and later served Emperor Xianzong to shave his face.

Shaving often requires the use of a knife, so this person must be himself.

Xiao Huazi is an orphan without father and mother. He doesn't have much memory of his own life experience, and because he is a eunuch, he was discovered when he was twelve or thirteen years old in the Yangshengtang. A bold thing is that after knowing this, he entered the palace in one go.

Now in front of Emperor Xianzong, he is also number one.

Seeing Emperor Xianzong kowtow swiftly before getting up.

"My lord, Xiao Huazi is here." Xiao Huazi lowered his head, not daring to look at Sheng's appearance.

"Come on, Xiao Huazi, give it to me..." Emperor Xianzong greeted Xiao Huazi, and Eunuch Huai En's eyes widened...

The next morning, when Emperor Xianzong sat on it, Eunuch Huai'en's voice trembling when he shouted "Qi".

After all the officials knelt down and bowed their heads, they all gasped when they raised their heads!
